Just when the ghost lamp over there was about to start talking to them, Osamu Dazai here dragged "Oda Sakunosuke" out of the door and went straight to the roof.

When he went out, he was even in the mood to say hello to Guangjin Liulang at the door.

Guangjin Liulang looked at the scene where the former cadre he was familiar with dragged another person who had been dead for more than four years to run out, and his heart was also quite complicated. Who can see this kind of picture without complexity!The person who died for more than four years reappeared!Still a ghost!If it weren't for the presence of two Central Plains cadres, two Mr. Akutagawa, and a ghost lamp, I'm afraid he would not be able to stand still now!

After "Oda Sakunosuke" obediently followed Dazai Osamu to the roof, before speaking, he took out two cans of beer from his sleeve pocket and handed one over.

"Ah, it's just the Kirin brand. Hell also sells this brand of beer?" Osamu Dazai said with some disappointment.

"Hell is also sold, but I asked Oboro to put me down when I saw a vending machine on the road and bought it temporarily." "Oda Sakunosuke" replied seriously, "People in this world can't eat hell." If you eat food, you will be counted as a person in the next world, and you can no longer appear in this world at will."

"What a pity." Osamu Dazai muttered, not knowing what he was pitying.

"I don't think it's a pity at all." "Oda Sakunosuke" said quite frankly, "Hell is not the world you expected. It can even be said that hell is a crueler world than you imagined."

"..." Osamu Dazai opened the can of beer and took a sip, then asked casually, "How is your job now, Odasaku?"

"It's okay, I'm the jailer of the living hell now, and anyone who commits the crime of killing will fall into this hell." "Oda Sakunosuke" had a subtle expression on his face, "Actually, before that, I myself was waiting for the living hell." Sentenced in hell."

"Hell is a very special place. The execution ground is separated from the time of the outside world. In a day in this world, hundreds of days can pass in hell. The time difference between the most special execution ground and the outside world is said to be as large as 1 years in a day. "Oda Sakunosuke" shivered subconsciously as he spoke.

Osamu Dazai obviously also remembered what Mr. Ghost Lantern said just now, "Go to hell and serve 13 trillion years in prison". Obviously, that is definitely not a false statement, "Then you..."

"Because I used to be a killer and killed a lot of people, even if I changed to do good things later... In addition, when I was fighting with Gide, I had the desire to die, so it was a sideline of suicide, but I was killed. I was sentenced to more than 500 years of punishment. Later, because of you and Ango's offering to me, and the plea of ​​the five children before, the sentence was reduced all the way to only more than 200 years. With a heart of repentance, coupled with the fact that there is always a lack of jailers in hell, he asked me if I would like to be a jailer and replace punishment with work, and I agreed." "Oda Sakunosuke" said lightly, and many things in the middle Take it directly.

But Osamu Dazai will never forget it. He still clearly remembers that the other party said that "I was a dead person two years ago."

"The punishment in hell is really the same as in the legend?" Osamu Dazai couldn't think of anything to say, but asked curiously.

"Not only that, but also because with the advancement of the times, the technology class in hell will update various instruments of torture at any time. In addition to the traditional knives, axes, needles, rocks, and cauldrons filled with red copper water and hot oil, recently Also introduced a lot of brand new things.” When it comes to his work, “Oda Sakunosuke” is still upright, “In addition to the iron maiden, torture chairs and other torture tools bought from the Western Hell, the technical class also provides Handy things like giant meat grinders, automatic iron griddles."

Dazai Osamu listened, and couldn't help looking at the people around him with the eyes of "You are really Sakunosuke Oda". Now this person can say such terrible words so naturally!

Hell is too capable of transforming people!What has this been transformed into!

"So don't come down easily." "Oda Sakunosuke" stretched out his hand and rubbed the hairy head of the young man beside him with a paralyzed face. Judging from your current crimes, Dazai, the guilt will start at least a thousand years ago, and multiple crimes will be added to your body. At that time, you will have to go back and forth between several hells, which is really not worth it. More importantly, Many colleagues have told me that Master Ghost Lantern hates people like you Dazai. If you don’t become a jailer and can replace your punishment with work, you will really have to serve so many years in hell, and the deceased has already died once. No matter what kind of horrible punishment you suffer in hell, you won’t die again, it’s really painful.”

"So, live well." "Oda Sakunosuke" looked at him, and said what he wanted to say all along.

"What..." Osamu Dazai lowered his head, but finally said slowly in a somewhat quiet air, "I see, I will work a little harder and try to survive."

"That's right." "Oda Sakunosuke" said with fingers, "And I will work hard, and I will find a way to apply to the present world when I am on vacation, but most of the time, the jailer wants to visit People in this world can only choose the way of dreaming, so you have to maintain a good life schedule, otherwise you won't be awake when I come, and you will only be wasting my vacation."

"It's really cunning." Osamu Dazai raised his head, with a slight smile on his calm face, "So I can only try to find a way to live well?"

"Yeah, after all, that's what I was looking forward to from the beginning." "Oda Sakunosuke" also laughed.

As the two talked, they lightly touched the beer cans in their hands.

"For the wild dogs."

"For the wild dogs."

The two said this at the same time, and after they drank a big sip of beer together, "Oda Sakunosuke" said curiously: "Dazai, how is your life now?"

"Well, it's nothing special." Osamu Dazai imitated him and said, snapping his fingers, "I'm working in the Armed Detective Agency, and I just accept commissions and deal with problems every day?"

"This is also very good, and with Dazai's ability, the matter must be resolved quickly, right?" "Oda Sakunosuke" looked at him quietly and said.

"Of course." Osamu Dazai couldn't help rubbing his fingers under his nose, and said calmly, "Odasaku, let me tell you, last time there was a North American organization called "Assembly" He wanted to enter Yokohama to make trouble, but Mr. Mori didn't do anything about it..."

Dazai Osamu happily talked about his previous great achievements like a child, and "Oda Sakunosuke" was the best listener on the side, listening to his chatter while nodding to him, from time to time He also echoed two sentences, which made Dazai Osamu's speech even more interesting.

"So, you don't have to worry about me so much anymore, I'm a completely good person now." Dazai Osamu looked at his friend beside him and said with a smile.

"Hmm..." "Oda Sakunosuke" nodded to him, "But don't play too many tricks on Ango. When I visited him last time, he thought it was a dream, but he cried to me for a long time."

"Hey, I didn't play a lot of pranks on him." Hearing this, Osamu Dazai silently arranged a series of new prank projects for Ango Sakaguchi in his heart.

And hearing what Osamu Dazai said, "Oda Sakunosuke" naturally believed his conversation and didn't say anything.

At this time, the door of the rooftop was knocked politely, and Oda Sakunosuke's voice sounded from behind, "I'm sorry, but Lord Ghost Lantern said that what you want to investigate has some clues, can I ask you to come down?"

"Ah, here we come." Osamu Dazai drank all the remaining beer in one gulp, put the empty can into the pocket of his windbreaker, and then walked unsteadily to open the door, seeing this younger Oda Sakunosuke, He couldn't help stretching out his hands to pinch the other's cheek with some playfulness, "Young Oda Tsukuru, how should I put it, I'm really not used to the feeling of having no stubble."

Oda Sakunosuke, who didn't care about the other party's movements, poked his head over and looked at the opposite party, obviously he should not be a few years older than himself, but he seemed to be more vicissitudes than himself, nodded and said: "Actually, I used to be too lazy to take care of my own things. , but Mr. Yukichi doesn’t like it every time, and even takes me to the bathroom to shave during working hours, so I slowly developed the habit of cleaning myself up.”

He wanted to finish talking about himself with Osamu Dazai, and then he greeted his other self, "Hello, me in this world."

"Hello..." "Oda Sakunosuke", who was wearing a black kimono and sandals common to prison guards, also greeted habitually, "Did you know Lord Ogreto when you were still alive? Good luck."

"I think so too." Oda Sakunosuke nodded and said, "If it wasn't for Mr. Ghost Lantern who forced me to President Fukuzawa, I might have followed your old path, so I wouldn't be able to continue writing novels."

"Yeah, when I was a prison guard, I had to squeeze my time if I wanted to write a novel." "Oda Sakunosuke" was also very sad when he said this, "and the editor in hell is also very scary to press the manuscript."

"It feels the same." Oda Sakunosuke said empathetically.

"Hey, Oda Saku, have you written a novel?" Dazai Osamu looked at the two Oda Sakunosukes and asked curiously.

"Well, I have contributed to a magazine in Hell. Next time, if you are interested, I will bring it here for you to read." "Oda Sakunosuke" from this world nodded and said.

"I serialized it in the "New Thought Trends" magazine of Iwanami Bookstore. I remember that Mr. Yukichi saw the old issue and bought two copies on the way back to the detective agency. It should be placed with Mr. Yukichi's clothes. , I'll bring it to you later." Oda Sakunosuke from another world also nodded together.

"This is really great." Osamu Dazai became visibly excited.
