Chief Oda won't complain

Like a gust of wind and a rainstorm, or like a rabbit rising and falling, under the condition of early arrangements and sufficient manpower, it only took about an hour to solve the mimic, and during this period, the innocent citizens were avoided as much as possible.

Until the end of the operation and the dust settled, most ordinary people were still unaware, immersed in the ordinary wasted life that was no different from the past.

Gide was captured alive.

Originally, the plan that the Supernatural Secret Service Division wanted to implement was to directly obliterate them.After all, this person is the most dangerous mimic leader, and no one is so conceited that he can control Gide with full confidence.

After knowing the effect of Gide's ability in advance, it is the safest and most responsible to arrange a killer move and kill him directly.

But in the end, Gide was still captured alive. There was some element of luck in it, mainly due to the efforts of the Colonel.

Although he was extremely disappointed with Gide's actions, Da Zuo still subconsciously protected his former subordinates deep in his heart.

I don't know what kind of complicated mood it is, but even though he knows that Gide has degenerated to the point of wantonly hurting innocent people, the Colonel is still willing to admit that Gide is a soldier.

I didn't see the scene at that time, but heard Ango's report afterwards, and learned that Gide was strongly shaken as soon as the Colonel appeared.

At that time, the Colonel was blocking Gide's way to break through, so Gide had to stop and say: "Life has thousands of forms, and everyone can only experience one. I am already walking on the dead road of disillusionment. You It can't save me."

The Dazuo replied: "Your ideal life is not like this, so you insist that your life has been ruined. But I want to tell you that life is secular and has nothing to do with ideals and morals. People can completely abandon their ideals. Then live immorally."

"Then tell me, does the glory of soldiers really exist?"

"Of course it exists. I never doubt it. You are my proud subordinate. Your glory has always been burning like a candle in your body. Even if life blows it every day, it can never be blown out."

"That's right, you think so..." Gide lowered his head, "I'm sorry, but I don't expect anything, and I don't want to expect anything anymore."

The Colonel threw away all his weapons and protection, and bravely stepped forward to embrace Gide alone, and said: "Then you hold on to all your beliefs and doubts, and then honestly wait for the future we give you."

After hearing Ango's retelling, I couldn't help sighing: "Gide is really a person full of conflicts in his heart."

Ango glanced at me: "Mr. Odasaku is very interested in him? That's right, he strongly asked to see you before leaving Japan."

It turned out that Gide knew me earlier than I thought.

Mori-san was so efficient, he used my name as bait to lure Gide long before I started.

Now I can completely refuse to meet and never touch Gide from beginning to end, which should be the safest choice for everyone.But I thought about it and went anyway.

Because he would be deported soon, Gide was not imprisoned in any deep and dark supernatural prison, but was tightly tied up and pressed on the pier, and the captain stood aside to watch him closely.

The rest of the mimics had already boarded the ship, and only Gide was stubbornly waiting on the pier to see me.

As soon as I appeared, he found me exactly and stared at me firmly.

The Colonel explained that there was 10 minutes of talking time, and then stepped aside, saying that he would not eavesdrop.

I first observed Gide's appearance: his silver-gray hair was as lifeless as soot, but he had a straight face suitable for a soldier.He looked at me with empty, deadly calm eyes.

"I heard that the Colonel will take you back to France for trial, and I heard that France has abolished the death penalty."

Gide's voice was strangely calm: "Maybe, the bell tower attendants wish all the Mimics would die in a foreign country, and their attitude is enough to represent the attitude of most people. Maybe I won't live to go to court, and I will die before the ship docks .”

I said: "But very few people know that you were wronged in the first place. The Colonel intends to announce the truth of the past, so that many people will forgive you."

Gide shook his head, without the slightest optimism: "No one will be happy to dig out the scars that have grown long ago and bleed again. There is actually only one suitable time to solve many things. Once it is over, it is a mistake."

Gide's thinking was objective and rational, but Colonel was a little wishful thinking and naive in this matter.

I had a very brief exchange with the Colonel, and learned that he spent a lot of effort and money in persuading the Japanese side to agree to send Gide back to France.

In fact, holding Gide all the time is not beneficial to Japan.It's just that Da Zuo acted too urgently, so he gave others the opportunity to speak loudly.

But things on this level are not what I care about, and I will not pretend to criticize the actions of the Colonel.

I compared the Gide in front of me with the death seeker in the "story" horizontally, and I was sincerely happy for this Gide.

There was no sense of the urgency of death in him.Although there is no longing for being born in this life, it is peaceful enough.

When I observe Gide, Gide also observes me.

He said: "Actually, I am very curious about you, and I have also investigated you. At first I thought you could understand me, so I wanted you to save me, but now... Maybe I can't understand you."

"What's the reason?"

"I heard that you initiated the plan to capture me, and it was your proposal to have the armed detective agency call for the Colonel. You seem to have expected that I would come, and you just stayed in Yokohama all the time.

Just like a seasoned spider staying in the web he wove, he successfully waited for me to throw himself into the net. In front of you, I am just a dazed bug. "

He actually knew what I had done, the Colonel was really relieved of him, and told him almost everything.

Gide expressed his curiosity towards me frankly: "Can you tell me about the real you? Anything is fine. I was completely defeated. Before you came, I had been replaying the game, and found that I couldn't find a winning one. Possibility. I want to understand as much as possible who you are, and I want to know what kind of person defeated me without any suspense."

I shook my head: "I didn't defeat you without any suspense. This kind of statement is too exaggerated."

Gide frowned, and turned his head to look in the direction of the Colonel: "You should know that the ropes, cloth strips and handcuffs on my body can't really trap me. But I haven't broken free, because I'm waiting for you to come .”

"I see. You're trying to say that if I tell you about me, you won't break free, but obediently follow the chief on board and leave. Is that so?"

"That's it..."

"Okay..." I sighed.

Because of the disappointing development in the "story", after time-traveling, I actually gave up communicating with Gide on my own, but now I get this opportunity passively. The fate is really unpredictable and full of irony.

Where do I start?In short, it is definitely not starting with the name to introduce yourself.

I looked at the blue sea in the port: "I, and many ordinary people like me, are all downcast wild dogs crushed by a ruthless life, trapped in a mediocre life and all kinds of troubles in life, trying to live my life well." Life."

That's all, that's all.I am not an extraordinary person, nor am I living an extraordinary life.

Gide stared at me silently.

What kind of look is that?

Different from the weak calm at the beginning, a strong desire to explore has burst out, like a cluster of flames that are hard to feel but can easily burn people.

The obsession that was too frightening was covered up in Gide's body by various appearances, and I suddenly realized that he would not easily seek death anymore.

He is a stubborn person, his doubts are so strong that he will not give up thinking until he gets an answer.

In Gide's eyes, my position is no longer his "understander", neither "similar" nor "equal" to him, and I can no longer bring him any redemptive experience of death.

Accordingly, I injected Gide with something else.

Will those things help Gide to survive and achieve self-salvation?I have no idea.

Will it affect me in some way in the future?I don't know either.

I'm just an ordinary man who can only live the life in front of him and look forward to the future with hope.

……

Deep in the mountains, an abandoned single-family house, and a spacious ballroom.

Dazai ordered his subordinates to clean up the place, clean the windows, connect the lights, put tables and chairs, tea and exquisite desserts, and transform the ballroom into a very sincere meeting place.

I waited there until the sun went down, and finally Mr. Mori arrived.

Mr. Mori wore a suit suitable for a banquet and brand new shiny leather shoes.The long red scarf was draped over his shoulders, like a brave man's cape, swaying and fluttering with his steps.

He led the blond-haired Alice, and made the petite girl wear a rococo-style sweet dress, a wide-brimmed hat, and a small lace umbrella, as if she was going to an afternoon tea party for girls.

I quietly watched them approaching, thinking whether it would be too casual for me to just wear a shirt and a windbreaker, and would it not be respectful enough for this occasion?

And I just ate a curry rice, although I wiped the corners of my mouth carefully, will there still be an inappropriate smell left?

I'm such a careless and useless man.

"Oh, I made Oda-kun laugh, because I heard that the meeting place was in a ballroom. So I changed my clothes and came here without authorization, thinking that I would be greeted by a decent ball."

Mr. Mori took the seat opposite me and smiled at me calmly.

Alice obediently sat next to Mr. Sen, lowered her eyes and began to quietly choose the desserts on the table.

I'm suddenly thankful that there are these exquisite desserts here, at least this part is in harmony with my guests' style, saving some of my self-loathing for poor hospitality.

Mr. Mori smiled at me, as if he was very happy to see me: "Thank you for inviting me here today, but this place is really empty and deserted. I saw Dazai-kun and Ango-kun on the way here, and they were very kind. Show me the way, won't you let them in as a witness?"

I said, "There is no need for them to witness what happened between the two of us."

"Really, I thought I had guessed your mind right." Mr. Mori shook his head, as if deeply regretting his mistake in guessing.

His purple eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at me: "Fortunately, at least I didn't misunderstand your invitation, and I came to the appointment as you hoped."

"Thank you for coming." I said dryly.

The author has something to say: There are thousands of forms of life, and each person can only experience one - André Gide.

At the beginning of this chapter, the conversations between Gide and Dazuo all refer to some of the words written by Jide of the Third Yuan.

I feel like it's more expressive to write this way.Well, just my own feeling.chin rest...

Seriously, ordinary man Odasaku, how can he still believe that he is ordinary even after he has come to this point?Puzzling i.
