But what did Dazai do wrong?

On the summer solstice in June, the sky is as blue as washing, and the flowers in the garden and mountains are bright yellow like stars, and the fresh vitality of light green paints the sky and the earth with the wind, and there are colorful colors everywhere.

A gunshot startled the birds among the branches.

When the birthday was about to come to an end, the beauty was shattered in front of Riri Yamabuki, announcing the end of a period of time.

The crisp sound of glass shattering echoed in his mind, and Riri Yamabuki's eyes seemed to be covered with a foggy filter.

She raised her hand hesitantly and touched her eyes.

"Yamabuki...is it gray?" She looked down at her hands, "Am I gray too?"

Grey, black, and pale white, three colors occupy her field of vision, the bright yellow Yamabuki flowers fade to white gray, and the blue sky casts a thick lead shadow.

In an instant, the color disappeared from Riri Yamabuki's field of vision.

Riri Yamabuki closed her eyes and opened them again, the once colorful colors seemed to no longer favor her pupils.

She lowered her head, and the glaring red was like a grand fire cloud in the evening sky, becoming the only color she could see.

Blood red and ghastly white merged into the color of Osamu Dazai.

The ring that fell into the pool of blood also lost its original color.Riri Yamabuki knew it was a beautiful iris color, and anyone could see its color, but she couldn't.

For the eyes that resemble it are closed.

Riri Yamabuki picked up the ring, paused when he was about to put it in his pocket, turned around, and put the ring back into Osamu Dazai's white suit pocket.

She's surprisingly calm now.

It seems that the soul has been withdrawn from the body, looking down on the mechanically moving self from above.

Riri Yamabuki watched as he took out his mobile phone to notify the people in Mafia at the port, put all the medical department on standby, and asked Ryunosuke Akutagawa to lead a team to bring Osamu Dazai back to the headquarters.

She watched as she checked Osamu Dazai's wound and stopped the bleeding, the bandage was mixed with layer after layer of blood and it was still oozing out endlessly.

"It's not a fatal injury..." After everything that could be done, Riri Yamabuki held Dazai Osamu's wrist and murmured to himself with his weak pulse.

The colors in her field of vision warmed up little by little, and she could barely see the bright yellow Yamabuki flowers and the blue sky, and saw Ryunosuke Akutagawa rushing to this side.

"Blood transfusion and re-bandage are needed." Riri Yamabuki helped Osamu Dazai, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, and handed it to Ryunosuke Akutagawa, "Anesthesia, Dazai is very afraid of pain."

"Okay, please rest assured, I will definitely send Mr. Dazai back safely!" Akutagawa Ryunosuke did not hesitate for a moment, turned around and left with the people.

People were coming and going, and after a brief commotion, the surrounding area was eerily quiet.

Riri Yamabuki stood alone by the pool of blood, staring at his clean fingertips.

"I shouldn't have gotten the ring," she whispered, "he should have put it on me."

Riri Yamabuki raised her head, and the tall buildings in Yokohama reflected the sunlight shining like diamonds, dazzling her in the blue sky.

The diamond as bright as the North Star was extinguished, and its life was as short as a moment, just to answer the gunshot.

"It's the reflection of the scope." Riri Yamabuki raised his hand, counting with his fingertips, "There."

The person probably fled away long ago, and the person who hit the target with a single blow and the sniper attack from a very long distance may not be an unknown person.

"It's okay." Riri Yamabuki said softly, "Where can you escape to?"

Surveillance images will be left behind from the elevator to the roof, and the dust in the corridors that have been covered for a long time will be disturbed step by step from the stairs.As long as a person exists, the wind will always capture his traces.

Riri Yamabuki followed the path taken by the murderer and walked to the top of the rooftop step by step.

Today's wind is particularly strong, the sun is pouring wantonly and hot, squashed empty beer cans are piled up in the corner, and the air-conditioning bellows are muffled.

After another corner, it should be the position where the snipers ambushed.

There are slight signs of peeling off the wall skin at the corner.

It's like someone is struggling to hold the hard corner of the wall, and the nails are picking off the signs of the wall dust.

There was not a single footprint on the ground. Riri Yamabuki stood at the corner for a long time without taking a step. The beer can was blown by the wind and rolled across the ground, and the empty sound echoed on the rooftop.

"One, two, three..." She squatted on the ground with her five fingers spread out on the ground, her voice was so soft that it seemed to be blown away by the wind in the next second, "There are exactly the same number of teams as Mafia at the port. The same people walk through here."

The traces that can hardly be captured by the human naked eye are clearly reflected in the eyes of Riri Yamabuki. She "saw" a well-trained team waiting for a long time rushing past the corner, "saw" for a moment they dragged a struggling person away, " Seeing" they pinched his tongue to prevent him from committing suicide, "seeing" the man trying to grab the corner of the wall, digging out a few shallow marks with bloody nails...

Riri Yamabuki stood up, a slight double image appeared before his eyes.

The sun was too hot, and the road to the wall of the Temple of Heaven seemed endless.

Finally, Riri Yamabuki stood where the sniper shot had been let go, looking down the tall building precariously in the wind.

The man with the sniper gun put the muzzle on the fence, and the person who dragged him away checked the surroundings carefully, but didn't expect to stand on the fence to take a look.

It may be because the wall is the last line of defense on the roof, and if you stand on it and make a slight mistake, you will fall from a ten-story building, and the fear in your subconscious has ruled out this place.

So the man left the mark on the back of the fence.

He is sure that only one person will stand fearlessly on the edge of the fall, looking down at the earth below the sky.

The blood from the bitten finger left a scrawled mark on the dirty wall.

【"You have to remember this symbol." Andre Gide held the pen, "It means—"】

"It means..." Riri Yamabuki closed his eyes.

"I am about to die, my friends later, please bless me."

The ghosts who live in the world with death as their long-cherished wish leave the last trace of their existence.

The hot wind blew across the cheeks, and the grand summer sun could not dispel the coldness that spread to Tianling Gai.

Ritsuri Yamabuki understood everything thoroughly.

……

"Tick."

The sound of water ticking in the dead silent room sounded like a faucet that was not tightened.

The half-hanging tortured man lowered his head and saw a pair of shiny black leather shoes standing in front of him.

The dizziness from excessive blood loss caused him tinnitus and chest tightness, his heart swelled faintly, and the tip of his nose could hardly smell the smell of blood.

Even so, the man with his head down tried his best to pull out a stiff smile, and raised his head little by little.

"You didn't die." Knight sincerely regretted, "It's a pity."

"Thanks to you, the wound is still hurting." Osamu Dazai tilted his head, pointing to the bandage under his shirt.

The person who should have been lying on a hospital bed wearing a ventilator changed into the clothes of the Mafia cadre at the port and stood in the interrogation room.

"It seems that this is not the first time we have met." Osamu Dazai looked at the blood-stained red face in front of him, "Your face and your amazing sniping skills are very familiar to me."

Knight smiled unemotionally, but didn't answer.

"The person who followed me was also sent by you." Dazai Osamu didn't care about his reaction, and continued on his own, "It seems that you have a lot of power in your hands, and you can even let people do things without telling Riri-chan—— She's a lower level Mimic than you? Are you kidding me?"

Osamu Dazai is still unable to determine the specific status of Riri Yamabuki in Mimic.But from the analysis of her self-entertainment at the port Mafia, she may also maintain the status of a non-staff member in Mimic, receiving orders to kill people, not receiving orders to stand by, and staying away from the core management circle.

"Ri Li-chan?" Knight repeated Dazai Osamu's title, an affectionate and slightly joking title.

It's almost like they can't wait to show everyone how great their relationship is.

It's an eyesore, no matter how you think about it, it's an eyesore, I really want to kill him—kill him—

Trouble, Osamu Dazai looked at the victim caught in his own thoughts.

He hates this kind of people the most. Torture can't make them let go, neither can threats or lures. They will only focus on the focus of their attention and stubbornly fall into unreasonable madness.

This guy obviously doesn't look so crazy.

Osamu Dazai remembered Nate's face.

Riri Yamabuki was drunk that day, leaning drunkenly on the bar counter and smiling at people, the smile in her eyes was as sweet as tangerines gushing out, and the intoxicating aroma filled her breath.

Osamu Dazai saw this scene when he pushed open the door of the bar. He took off his jacket and covered his head and face with his unconscious girlfriend, and picked her up from the seat.

Riri Yamabuki recognized Dazai Osamu even when he was drunk, and was drunk in his arms, leaning against his chest intimately, as cute as a coquettish.

Osamu Dazai ignored the other gazes looking at this side, his attention never moved away from Riri Yamabuki, and he hugged her to go out.

There were many gazes behind Osamu Dazai, some of which were full of malice and hatred. He looked around and recorded the faces of those people, and from his corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of a young man in black and white bartender uniform who was concentrating on his work at the bar.

The man didn't look at him, and kept quietly wiping the wine glass in his hand.

The transparent wine glass reflected the blurred color under the dim light, Dazai Osamu retracted his gaze, and put him in his heart.

She has an extremely secretive style, and has obviously undergone quite rigorous training. She is an acquaintance with Riri Yamabuki, and there is a high probability that she has a heart of admiration for her.

It is not uncommon for her to be an acquaintance of Yamabuki Riri, and many dangerous people in Hakata are her acquaintances.It's not uncommon for a killer to change his job as a bartender after retirement. Isn't there always a blond young man in Ikebukuro who wears a bartender uniform and holds a vending machine to beat up an intelligence dealer?

There is a difference between the heart of love and the heart of envy.

Jealousy is the product of a series of intertwined emotions such as comparison, competition, inferiority, and arrogance. People may hurt the one they love because of jealousy, and even destroy all irrelevant people and things.

Love is a martyr.Unilateral extreme dedication and sacrifice, with the sole purpose of "being good for her", willing to give everything of oneself, extremely persistent and fearless towards imaginary enemies, unreasonable and unrepentant.

Fiery and terrifying emotions.

Strangely, Osamu Dazai can understand Knight.

"He can't bring her happiness."

"His presence in her life was a mistake, and I have to right that mistake."

"He who killed him, who tried to take her from me."

The young man was tortured in front of him, and his eyes were still burning with flames. Every cell and every expression of him expressed unwillingness and remorse.

He didn't care about the pain and horrible end he had suffered at all. Even if Dazai Osamu's torture could smash the steel and iron bones into powder, it still couldn't shift his will in the slightest.

"You are too much." Osamu Dazai grabbed Nat's hair and lifted it up, forcing him to look at himself.

"Who are you in Rili-chan? Can you decide her relationship for her?" Osamu Dazai sneered, "Stop joking, I'm not suitable? You would be suitable instead?"

"Knight, knight, it is your duty to guard the princess and marry the prince." Osamu Dazai whispered into Knight's earlobe, "What are you delusional about?"

"I am...the one who has been with her and taken care of her." After a suppressed silence, Knight said hoarsely.

There were only him and Osamu Dazai in the cell, and Knight was dripping with blood as if flowing through blood, and he stared at Osamu Dazai with menacing eyes.

"It was a very cold winter, and Boss Andre brought her back." Because Osamu Dazai first revealed the connection between Mimic and Riri Yamabuki, Knight could say a little more.

"I walked out of the base to meet Boss Andre, and saw her barefoot on the snow." Knight fell into a long memory, "She was 15 years old, her face was pale in the cold wind, she was only wearing a thin white skirt, looking at me with a gun without any fear.”

"'You take care of the law.' Boss Andre said, 'Teach her basic common sense.'" Knight said, "I thought Boss Andre was going too far and asked me to take care of his children. He He is also a person without common sense, who doesn't even know how to put a fur coat on a little girl."

"I held out my hand to her." Knight stared into the dark corner of the cell as if seeing the snowy winter. "She put her hand in my palm, and she looked at me with small soft, beautiful golden eyes, and said:' Andre said you want to die, is that true?'”

"It's weird, isn't it? Greeting people with such impolite words when they meet for the first time." Knight said, but smiled more sincerely than ever before, "I was surprised and annoyed, she saw that I was angry, Asked even more puzzled: 'Are you angry? Did Andre lie to me? Then why did you hire me?'”

"I found out later that Boss Andre used 'We Mimics are a group of people who want to die and are looking for someone who can kill us. I think you girl with strange bones must be the one who can fulfill our wishes. It's not as good as you and When I go back to Mimic, the food and lodging are all included in the employment fee, when will the settlement be settled and when will you do it' reason to abduct people back."

"It's very simple." Knight laughed, "Now she won't believe the nonsense of Boss Andre."

"I was sent to take care of her, teach her some basic knowledge, and gradually get acquainted with her." Knight's voice became more and more gentle, "She told me personally that apart from Andre's boss who likes me second, wait for the employment fee to settle." Qing will also complete my commission first—it’s too much, the way to repay others is to kill him, I can’t laugh or cry.”

"Except for us, except for us who have been with her since she was 15 years old, there is no one suitable to be with her." Turn cold:

"She lacks common sense, she is unreasonable, she doesn't know how to maintain a relationship step by step, and she won't fall in love like an ordinary girl."

"You can't take care of her special." Knight stared at Osamu Dazai, "You have to leave her."

"Clap clap."

Osamu Dazai clapped his hands unhurriedly.

"It's really a standard knight's speech." He said lazily, "I'm almost moved by your ego."

"What?" Knight frowned as if insulted.

"Say I'm not suitable, I think you are the most unsuitable people to stay with Riri-chan." Osamu Dazai said boringly, "I thought the reason for how great you are is just a blind and deaf person's delusion to speak."

"You're the one who nailed her to 15 years old, right?" Osamu Dazai shrugged, "My sister is not a little girl who needs to be taken care of, she is an adult woman with free thinking and self-acting power. What do you like, watch She will take the initiative to say what is in her heart, and she will take the initiative to correct things that are not as she wants. She does not need anyone to take care of her, especially..."

"Especially the one who can't beat her, and who doesn't particularly look like her favorite—you."

Facing Knight's terrifying gaze, Osamu Dazai spread his hands: "Is it so difficult to accept the fact? It was her own decision to stay in Yokohama and by my side. She hasn't taken care of you for nearly two years. Didn't she live a long life?" Is it good? No, better than before, right? I can please Lili-chan very much, she doesn't want to leave me for a day."

"She would give me her favorite marmalade for breakfast, play games with me at the Mafia office in the port to work with me, share crab meat with me when I eat takeaway, and walk home with me at night."

"There are many more, do you want to hear?" Osamu Dazai said maliciously, "For example, putting me to sleep when I have a fever, making me chocolate on Valentine's Day, jumping into the sea with me from a height of [-] meters...you can't be like Ordinary girls talk about an ordinary love? Then talk about an extraordinary one."

"In the end, you're just jealous of me." Dazai Osamu stroked his lower lip, "Well... there are quite a few people who are jealous of me to the point of killing me, and it seems that there is no need to waste words with you."

"I'm a little tired." Osamu Dazai said boredly, "Hurry up and finish work, and then I will lie obediently on the hospital bed and watch Riri-chan peel rabbit apples for me."

"You don't even have a girlfriend, so you probably can't understand what I said." Osamu Dazai pretended to be surprised, "Sorry, I didn't mean to show off."

Nat looked into Osamu Dazai's eyes without a smile on his face, he was in so much pain that he wanted to die, Osamu Dazai's words were like a saw sawing through his skull, turning out the details that he didn't want to think about before, forcing him to recollect them .

This seems to be the case... In his eyes, Riri Yamabuki has always looked like a 15-year-old, who needs his hands-on care like a baby bird. Even if she can hit him ten times with one hand, she still needs to rely on him-he has always been like this think.

Actually no, she is an Asuka who can cross the snow field alone, no matter which environment she is thrown in, she can quickly find a way of survival that suits her.What does it matter if you don't fit in with the crowd?Powerful strength makes faux pas full of personality, full of heart-wrenching personal charm.

She has always lived in the world as a powerful person, she is their leader, their banner, and their will.

...not the baby bird that was protected by his wishful thinking.

"From the beginning, it wasn't Mimic who took her in, it was she who came here after accepting our entrustment... I can almost understand Boss Andre's words."

Maybe Riri Yamabuki doesn't need Knight at all, she doesn't need Knight, she just fulfills his wish and allows him to stay by her side.

"I've screwed up a lot," Nate said suddenly, the chains that bound him rustling. "It's my fault that I upset her."

"But I don't regret shooting you." The young man in prison raised his head. He is a highly valued subordinate of Yamabuki Law Riri. He has outstanding fighting ability and excellent logical literacy, and he will not ignore any details.

"You did it on purpose." Knight said very quickly, "Revealing the news of preparing the ring, choosing an empty park suitable for sniping to propose, and getting me caught immediately after shooting—you already knew about her." You want her to cut off contact with Mimic and choose you, so you don’t hesitate to use your life to play a bitter trick!"

"Very smart." Osamu Dazai said flatly, "But this information is meaningless to me. If you want to get rid of it, just say something new."

"Ha." Knight smiled instead, "What, you said before that you were so swearing that you wanted me to be demoted to the ground, but didn't you have no confidence in being chosen by her?"

"It happened after you shot." Osamu Dazai was not provoked, "I really almost died."

Knight wondered if the bitter trick had worked against Riri Yamabuki, who was bitterly aware that he didn't know his leader well enough.

But it doesn't matter, although he did many things wrong, and fell into Dazai Osamu's trap several times.But at least one thing he did.

"Boss Andre said that the mark is an important mark that everyone can only draw once in a lifetime. We must embrace the determination and will to never regret it, and draw the mark with the gratification that the long-cherished wish is about to be fulfilled. Later friends will bless me, And I will never follow in my footsteps."

"We agreed that it was a signal to pray for blessings, and it was also a signal to leave."

She won't stand in front of your hospital bed pretending to be good and peel rabbit apples for you. No matter how loudly you sing your bitter tricks, no one will come to listen.

She is going to leave, and she will abide by the promise of the sign because of paying respect to his life. Starting today, she will completely disappear from your life.

When she comes to her senses and knows that your marriage proposal and his death are calculated by you, will she still like you?

He can't control Yamabuki's will, and no one can control her will, can you?

Nate laughed heartily.

A large mouthful of dirty blood spit out from his mouth, mixed with black blood clots and a strong smell of medicine.

The people in the interrogation room were experienced and checked his teeth early, fearing that he would commit suicide by hiding medicine.

The real poison. The medicine was actually swallowed into the stomach by Knight a long time ago, and it was covered with a degradable film. When the time came, the medicine's effect would start by itself.

Killing Osamu Dazai in disobedience without authorization should have given him death as an apology. He had planned it out long ago.

Nat kept coughing up blood, numb from neuralgia, a pair of amazingly bright eyes stared straight at Osamu Dazai's eyes.

"It's nothing special...why does she like it so much..." He muttered in a foreign language that Dazai Osamu couldn't understand, "it's just these eyes..."

"It was these eyes that bewitched my mistress."
