"Dazai." Hiroshi Sato said in surprise.

Osamu Dazai looked at the three people in front of him with complicated eyes, "... Hiro Sato."

Kunikida Doppo asked in a deep voice: "Sato-kun, do you know him?" The dark aura permeating this man named Dazai was almost solid, how could he be an acquaintance with the innocent and gentle Sato Hiroshi.

Sato Hiroshi replied: "It's my classmate, Osamu Dazai."

Kunikida Dobubu: "..."

Oda Sakunosuke kept aiming at the person who jumped out of the canopy with a gun. Unlike the younger members of the club, Oda Sakunosuke knew the identity of the person in front of him, the leader of the port Mafia-this was the second time they had met.

The first time we met was at the Lupine bar. At that time, this person was the same as now. When he was pointed at by a gun, there would be an expression of grievance that made him want to cry.

Osamu Dazai slowly spread his hands, so that the person opposite could see that he was not carrying a weapon.

On the contrary, Hiroshi Sato couldn't stand it anymore, "Mr. Oda, play games in moderation." Didn't you see Dazai sad?

"Satou, come here, I want to talk to you." Osamu Dazai said suddenly.

Hiro Sato didn't think too much, he raised his leg and was about to walk towards Dazai Osamu, but when he passed by Oda Sakunosuke, he was grabbed.

"do not go."

"Why?" Sato Hiroshi wondered.

Oda Sakunosuke replied: "He is the leader of the port Mafia."

Sato Hiroshi: "..."

Kunikida took a deep breath, the leader of the port mafia, the mastermind behind the development of a huge dark empire in just a few years, is this handsome young man in front of him?

"Pfft hahaha..." Hiroshi Sato couldn't hold back a burst of laughter anymore, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I tried my best to hold back, but it's so funny... The people in Yokohama are so sorry. Does Mafia have any obsessions? Why does everyone want to be Mafia?"

Mr. Oda calls himself Mafia, and the children regard Mafia as their ideal, but now they accuse Dazai of being Mafia, what a laughing stock, what does Dazai look like?

"Senior Oda kindly told you..." Kunikida Doppo was anxious.

Oda Sakunosuke looked at Hiroshi Sato's smiling face, put away the gun suddenly, and let go of his hand.

Sato Hiroshi had an unfinished smile: "Dazai, when did you arrive? My mobile phone was turned off, so I couldn't tell you that it was safe..."

Osamu Dazai lowered his eyes, covering his dark pupils, "I just arrived, but I couldn't find you."

"Dazai..." Hiroshi Sato was so touched that he thought that Osamu Dazai came here specially to find him, "I didn't fall hard, just a little injury, and I'll be fine soon. People in this village contracted a strange disease, and Dazai still Go back quickly, Oda-san will go home after work."

Osamu Dazai looked into the village from a distance, "A strange disease?"

Sato Hirobuki was afraid that the bear boy who was arguing all day long to hang himself into the water would have a sudden whim, so he vividly described the horror of the epidemic in the village.

However, how could Osamu Dazai be frightened? He looked at Sakunosuke Oda, "Didn't you consider the possibility of sickness caused by supernatural powers? I will stay and help you."

Oda Sakunosuke was silent, as if evaluating the other party's proposal, Kunikida Doppo quickly persuaded the senior: "Oda-senpai, don't forget his identity, it's untrustworthy..."

Osamu Dazai seemed to smile, the laughter was inaudible, "Sato can help me prove that I have no malicious intentions."

Sato Hiroshi saw that they were very serious, and followed into the play, "Yes, Dazai is my friend, I trust him." After the performance, he felt embarrassed, and added a few words: "Of course, Mr. Oda and Dazai are Best friend who can tolerate him calling Odasaku and Odasaku nicknames every day..."

Oda Sakunosuke was taken aback. Dazai Osamu called him that at the Lupin Bar that day. Out of a feeling that he couldn't explain clearly, he said: "There is no spare room, you can only live with Sato."

"Oda-senpai..." Kunikida Doppo was surprised.

Osamu Dazai widened his eyes slightly, and there was a little light in his pupils, "Ah, it's okay."

On the way back to the village, Kunikida Doppo followed senior beside him, constantly expressing his disapproval.

Hiroshi Sato walked behind Osamu Dazai side by side.

"Why help me?" Didn't you persuade him to leave quickly before?

"Because Dazai's face looks too pale, if you let you go back alone, you might faint on the road..." Hiroshi Sato looked at Dazai's face a little higher up, "Don't you think so?" Have you slept yet?"

Osamu Dazai was dumbfounded, he almost forgot what it felt like to sleep all night.

"Sure enough!" Sato Hiroshi felt both angry and helpless, "Don't take your body seriously just because you are young..."

When they were about to walk to their residence, they met Monk Muroi again.

The young monk's indifferent eyes fell on Osamu Dazai, "Is he the unknown person wandering around the village?"

The upright Kunikida Doppo couldn't explain it, Sato Hiroshi took the initiative to take the responsibility: "He came to look for me, and he has no ill intentions towards the people in the village."

"So that's how it is." Muroi didn't ask any more questions, and didn't even take a second look, but said to Oda Sakunosuke: "Is it convenient for the two of you to chat together?"

The two members of the detective agency looked at each other, and Oda Sakunosuke nodded: "Of course it's convenient."

Muroi paused and asked, "Then, can we go to your residence?"

Kunikida Doppo has a natural liking for more serious grammar, "I'm waiting anytime."

Muroi's expression was very satisfied, "I'll visit again next time. Please follow me to the temple now. There's something... There's someone I want you to meet."

The temple was rebuilt on the basis of the original foundation of Okakaki Village. Abbot Muroi did not give the new temple a name, so it is now habitually called Okakaki Temple by the villagers.

Okakaki Temple is very small, with the temple in the front and the abbot's residence in the back. The buildings are simple and plain, but the trees left over from the past are growing gratifyingly.

Abbot Muroi took the four of them to his quiet room and made tea.The tea tray is placed on the tatami, and the tea is steaming.

"As for the source of the disease in the village, I would like to hear your reasoning." Abbot Muroi straight to the point.

Kunikida Doppo took out his notes and reported the results of these days to the abbot.

"...The possibility of infectious diseases has been ruled out at present. The virus does not spread through any means. According to our investigation, in a family, close contact will not cause illness, and using the same tableware will not cause illness. The virus is more like random. Infection, we are considering the possibility of radiation..."

Abbot Muroi finished listening quietly, and said in a cold voice: "I have some different opinions, please don't laugh when I say it."

"Please say."

"Have you considered the factors of unnatural forces?"

Kunikida Doppo subconsciously looked at his senior, and immediately calmed down when he saw Oda Sakunosuke's expressionless face, "Abbot Muroi, may I ask why you have such a view?"

Is it because the two of them exposed their different abilities when they acted?Or is it that there are hidden supernatural powers among the villagers?Or is this disease simply the revenge of the supernatural being, who was noticed by Abbot Muroi?

Hiroshi Sato has no idea how a good discussion suddenly turns from science to theology.

Abbot Muroi continued: "I think it was the work of evil spirits."

"Eh? Evil spirit?" Kunikida Doppo almost dropped his glasses in shock.

"Exactly." Abbot Muroi gathered his monk's robe, "I saw that ghost with my own eyes. It was dressed as a monk. It may be a monk who died in this temple a long time ago."

"There is indeed such a possibility." Oda Sakunosuke nodded.

"Senior!" Kunikida Doppo couldn't help questioning, "Could it be that Abbot Muroi's eyes are delusional? Are there really ghosts in the world?"

Abbot Muroi was not angry, "That's why I invited a few of you over. The ghost is in the temple right now."

The room was suddenly silent, Kunikida Doppo hesitated: "You mean, it's still there?"

"Exactly, I want you two to think of a solution for me. It's not a solution to stay here, it's disturbing." Saying this, Abbot Muroi's face didn't show any waves.

With the consent of several people, Abbot Muroi led them to the front temple.

Sato Hiroshi fell behind, poked Dazai Osamu, and asked in a breathy voice: "Is this abbot mentally disturbed?"

Osamu Dazai looked down at him, and said softly, "Have you never seen a ghost before?"

Sato Hiroshi: "..."

I made a mistake, I forgot about this guy's middle school attributes, and after I transferred to another school, I came into contact with Kaito and Toritsu, and probably added ghosts and other settings.

Enter the front temple from the corner gate. In the flat square courtyard, there is a well in the southwest corner, and a big tree grows beside it. Under the tree stands a monk with a ball head, looking up at the crown of the tree.

"That's it." Abbot Muroi stopped five or six meters away from the big tree, "The villagers who paid homage recently couldn't see him, so I know it's probably not alive. I don't know if you can see it. .”

Sato Hiroshi looked left, right, and tilted his head. No matter how he looked at it, he was just a young man, and he felt that he was being tricked. The next moment, Kunikida's unique behavior confirmed the statement of Abbot Muroi.

Kunikida Doppo stepped forward suspiciously, "Look at him, he is just an ordinary human—" His hand passed through the shoulder of the monk with a round head, "——No way!"

Disturbed, the ghost turned around to look at them, glanced across the crowd, and paused for an imperceptibly brief moment when it touched Osamu Dazai.

"Yuyouyou..." Sato Hiroshi was the one who reacted the most among the group of people. He pointed at the ghost with trembling fingers, as if he couldn't catch his breath, and could only repeat one word.

Osamu Dazai pushed his arm down, "Ghost, I see."

"No, no, no!" Sato said in a loud voice, speaking confusedly: "That's a ghost! I've never seen a ghost before! Because, it's a ghost!"

If ghosts really exist in the world, why hasn't he seen them once in the first 18 years!

Hiroshi Sato shook his head, no!This is not necessarily reality. Thinking about it carefully, something is wrong since he woke up. How could something as ridiculous as smashing into someone else's coffin happen in reality?

Osamu Dazai had a hard time understanding Hiro Sato's agitation, "Calm down, it's just a ghost."

"That's right, it's just a ghost." Sato Hiroshi repeated, suddenly rolled his eyes and passed out.

Oda Sakunosuke caught him earlier, "It seems that he failed to accept it smoothly."

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Hiro Sato woke up again, seeing a strange yet familiar ceiling in front of him, and the tatami under him exuded a slight musty smell.

That's right, this is the correct way to wake up.

Hiroshi Sato made peace with his heart, it must have been a nightmare just now.

"If you wake up, get up and drink some porridge, it's past dinner time." Oda Sakunosuke's voice sounded without emotion.

Hiroshi Sato sat up, "Okay...uh!" The answer turned into an exclamation halfway, and he pointed to the monk with the ball head in the corner of the room: "It's it..."

Oda Sakunosuke handed over the porridge bowl, "Chairman Muroi wants us to dispose of it, but tried many methods, but none worked, so we can only bring it here first."

Hiroshi Sato looked at the ghost's free appearance, and asked cautiously, "How did you bring it here?"

"How to bring it... Just ask him if he wants to come back with us, and it agreed."

Sato Hiroshi: "... In other words, it is now out of control?"

"should be."

Sato Hiroshi fell into a long silence.

At this time, Osamu Dazai opened the door and walked in, "Are you awake?"

Oda Sakunosuke got up, "Put the bowl back after eating, and you can rest in this room."

Osamu Dazai deliberately said in a friendly tone: "Odasaku, don't worry, we will get along well with Mr. Ghost."

Oda Sakunosuke didn't respond and left the room straight away.

Holding the porridge bowl, Sato Hiroshi rubbed his butt to Dazai Osamu, Qiqi Ai said: "Dazai..."

"what happened?"

"Are we really going to live with it... Mr. Ghost?" That's too scary!

Osamu Dazai was very unaccustomed to being approached by others, and resisted the urge to avoid, "Sato's performance will make Mr. Ghost sad."

Eh?Really?Hiroshi Sato looked at Monk Marukoto in surprise.

Mr. Ghost, who had been immersed in his own world, gave them a sideways glance helplessly, "I just hope that we don't interfere with each other."

can talk!

Moreover, it can communicate normally!

Hiro Sato's fear suddenly flew away. Originally, Mr. Ghost's appearance was not scary. Since he can talk, he is no different from a human being.

Fear is gone, and curiosity arises spontaneously.

"Mr. Ghost, how long have you lived... um?"

"forget."

"Then are you a monk from the previous temple?"

"do not know."

"What was your previous name?"

"forget."

Sato Hiroshi fell into thinking, it turns out that after people become ghosts, they will forget what happened when they were alive...

"Then let me ask the last question." Hiroshi Sato licked his dry lips and asked tensely, "Mr. Ghost, will you harm humans?"

Mr. Ghost stared at Hiroshi Sato for a while, "Although I don't remember the past, I don't reject killing people."

Hiroshi Sato held his breath in fright.

"However, I'm not interested in you guys, as long as you don't disturb me." Mr. Ghost said.

Sato Hiroshi had just let go of half of his heart, and he heard Dazai Osamu's death: "You are not ashamed to say, you don't even have a body, you have the ability to kill?"

Mr. Phantom said coldly: "I don't need to tell you about this."

Well done Dazai, why did he grow a mouth!

Sato Hiroshi hurriedly covered Dazai's provocative words, "Mr. Ghost, we coexist peacefully and will never disturb you."

Osamu Dazai couldn't believe that his mouth was covered, and stared at Hiro Sato with extremely shocked eyes, and was reprimanded by Hiro Sato in a low voice.

"What's the matter with you? Just kidding, you have to separate people! What if Mr. Ghost really wants to kill us..."

At night, the whole village fell silent.

Everyone fell into a deep dream, as if the god of sleep particularly favored Okakaki Village, and there was not a single household with a light on.

Even Osamu Dazai, who has been controlling his sleep all year round, fell asleep, but his sleep was shallower than ordinary people, and he was awakened by the slightest sound.

In the next room, that is, Oda Sakunosuke's room, the window was opened.
