Normally speaking, prisons are not just entered by chance.Regardless of the severity of the crime, the suspect must at least go through a trial before he can become a "prisoner" and be sent to prison to serve his sentence.This process takes at least a few years and nearly a month. In short, for the rapidly changing situation in front of you, it is enough time for the day lily to cool down several times.

Therefore, the time taken by Osamu Dazai from being arrested to being imprisoned, including the journey, was only two short days.

This time was not as expected by Osamu Dazai, and Majin was imprisoned sooner than him—thinking about it now, it was not only his monitoring, but also his protection.I don't know what kind of psychology, his prison cell is opposite the devil.Seeing him being thrown in, Dostoevsky raised his hand, and Shi Shiran greeted him.

Osamu Dazai returned a polite smirk.

In the monitoring room, Tiaoye Caiju listened to the nonsense greetings of the two with a blank face, feeling a little anxious inside.

This former port mafia cadre is too tight.

He is clear about whether the procedures he follows are in compliance with the regulations. Although the hound does not follow the rules very much, this is not the country after all.The reputation of the captain can indeed temporarily detain Osamu Dazai in this heavily guarded prison for superhumans, but after all, he still has to cherish his feathers.

If you want to bring him to justice, you must find evidence of his crime.Tiaoye Caiju was quite confident about this, but after some investigation, he found that the evidence he could grasp was pitifully small.

This was quite unreasonable at first—the Armed Detective Agency would not do things to help the evildoers, and the port mafia had no interest in helping the traitors cover up their criminal traces; Anwu tried his best to cover it up. As an official, the authority of the hound is much greater than that of a mere official.

"Is there any progress?" The door of the monitoring room was pushed open, and Fukuchi Sakurachi's voice was as hearty as ever.

"No, captain." After all, outside, Tiaoye Caiju bowed his head respectfully.

Fukuji Sakurachi didn't speak, just walked to the monitor screen.Tiaoye Caiju also looked at the screen, and he could not hear the worry in his heart: "These two people are cunning enough-but no matter how cunning the prey is, they can't jump the nose of the hound."

He acted full of confidence, and Fukuchi Sakurachi had no doubts about this subordinate he had cultivated, proudly patted him on the shoulder: "Let me show the most sensitive nose of 'Hound Dog', Jono."

Joye Caiju pushed away Fukuchi Sakurachi's hand expressionlessly.

"Although it's called 'Hound Dog', you don't really need to use a dog to describe me."

That being said, he's clearly up to the challenge.Seeing that there was nothing to be seen from the mutual testing between Dazai Osamu and Dostoevsky, Jono Caiju turned around and left the monitoring room first.

Since the local forces in Yokohama do not have this ability, the only people who can help Osamu Dazai bury the past so cleanly are the group of weirdos with swords in a certain shrine.

Coincidentally, this city and this country do not need a group of outsiders to act recklessly in the name of "guardian".

At this moment, before Hong Yao knew it, she had just made a small move with the hounds here, and another team of hounds had already set their sights on her hometown.

She had already bid farewell to Kunikida alone, and brought Atsushi Nakajima back to the port mafia building as if nothing had happened.

Although he knew she was angry, Osamu Dazai would definitely not come up to her and make trouble for her, but after disappearing under his nose for two days, Hong Yao didn't expect Osamu Dazai to be ignorant.

Maybe by now the matter of her meeting Kunikida Doppo was already on his desk. In Yokohama, it was quite difficult to do something without the knowledge of the port mafia.Koyaku was imagining the possible reaction of Osamu Dazai when he heard someone knock on the door of the conference room.

Boom, boom, three very polite taps, lighter and slower than Miss Secretary's habit.

Then, without waiting for the people in the room to open their mouths, the person who came pushed open the door.

The young leader of the port mafia stood outside the door. This time, he didn't wear the black windbreaker and red scarf that he often wore in the office. His white shirt and black trousers washed away some of the coercion of being in a high position. It's rare to show a little boyishness.

It's just that his face was gloomy, and he didn't have a smile—in contrast, Hong Yao showed a happy smile, not hiding his good mood.

There was a book spread out on the table in front of her, the pages were empty, with not a single word missing.Dazai Osamu's gaze was heavily glued to the book, Hong Yao laughed out loud when he saw this, "This trick is really good, but it seems that we are better than us. Accepted, Dazai-kun. "

I don't know what he thought, but he actually put the book in the shrine of this world.If it weren't for the remote reminder from another world, she really couldn't think of it.

Hearing this, Osamu Dazai finally turned his eyes away from the book.

"I want to talk to you alone, Miss Hongyao."

He would make this request, and Hong Yao was not surprised.She glanced at the other people in the room, Akutagawa Gin led Nakajima Atsushi and Izumi Kyoka out with a wink, and closed the door intimately.

The room was instantly so quiet that a pindrop could be heard.

It was Osamu Dazai who took the initiative to talk to her, but now, it was Osamu Dazai who was silent.Hong Yao was silent for a while, seeing that he still had no intention of speaking, she had to point to the seat opposite, and broke the silence first: "Sit."

Osamu Dazai walked up to her and sat down, reaching out his hand to touch the blank book.

Hong Yao stretched out a hand and lightly pressed the other corner of the book.

"It's come to this point," Osamu Dazai smiled helplessly when he saw this, "I won't change my mind again."

"I'm very glad that Dazai-kun is a little self-aware of his reputation." Hong Yao took the book away from him, closed it and put it aside, "Let's talk about it first, what you say is up to you, and what you do is up to me."

Osamu Dazai lowered his eyes, not knowing what to think.When she spoke again, her tone was much more normal: "I believe Miss Hongyao has also discovered the abnormality of 'it'."

This is true.Hong Yao couldn't help but cast a glance in the direction of the book.

Osamu Dazai noticed her small movements.

"Even so, Miss Hongyao doesn't intend to change her mind?"

Hong Yao slowly played charades with him: "I think this might be a good thing."

Almost immediately, Osamu Dazai understood what the red medicine meant.His face changed, and the air pressure on his body almost pulled the whole room into the cold winter.

Fortunately, he quickly controlled his emotions.

"Oaths are the most unreliable things in this world. Any oath must give way in front of interests, let alone interests related to one's own life and death. Needless to say, Miss Hongyao should understand this truth. Get along for a long time The accumulated feelings may be betrayed, and the covenant made only by words will be destroyed at any time-by then, I am afraid that even you will be powerless, right?"

"Of course I know this. So when I was still at the shrine, I left a little mechanism on it." Hong Yao held up the book and shook it at him with a smile, "I'm also a god judge. The little tricks are still quite familiar.”

Of course, the purpose of this is partly to prevent "book" from accidents, and partly to prevent Dazai Osamu from messing with her, so it's not enough for outsiders to understand.

Osamu Dazai is of course not in the mood to think about this stuff right now, Hongyao's attitude is firm, he had to change his way to show his affection: "Even if you don't consider the difference in success rate, Miss Hongyao must always cherish the feelings of those close to you You have so many subordinates, not all of them are willing to watch you take risks, and, even that 'Dazai Osamu'..."

Even at this time, he was still very reluctant to mention his peers, and his voice was lowered a lot: "Even that Dazai Osamu was willing to tell you the location of the 'book' after repeated persuasion. He is from Miss Hongyao has to admit that I won't leave you, right?"

This time it was Hong Yao's turn to have nothing to say.

As Osamu Dazai said, the difference in the success rate of the two methods of liberating the world is not so great that the young man in front of her will stop her desperately—if the success rate is too low, she will look for other methods from the very beginning. method.

For her, the hardest part is the part after success.The world that was originally neatly compiled into a volume is scattered, and the powerful energy will tear the passages between the worlds to pieces. Even if the government of time is far superior to the current technology, it cannot pass through the entangled energy of thousands of worlds. .At that time, how to go through the turbulent flow of time and space and return to the human world again - this is the problem she will face.

As for the question...

"I've got a little clue," Hong Yao's lips flashed a barely detectable smile, "Although Chen Power has yet to be verified, it's worth a try."

What she said didn't make Dazai Osamu's expression much better, he knew Hong Yao's nature too well.There is an adventurous spirit in her character that is not afraid of anything, and as long as the success rate of this method is [-]%, she dares to say that it is [-]% sure.

Let her say "worth a try", and the estimated success rate is not even [-]%.

It's a pity that Red Medicine doesn't think so.Seeing that Osamu Dazai didn't speak, she unilaterally thought that she had convinced him.So she picked up the book, got up and walked out: "I'm glad that we have reached a consensus. I need the cooperation of Mr. Zhongye for the next action. He is now—"

Hong Yao's voice stopped abruptly.

"Dazai-kun," she turned her back to Dazai Osamu. After a moment of silence, she reminded in a calm tone, "You should know that this trick won't work for me."

They were well aware of this, so they couldn't deflect Dazai Osamu's gun.

"Just treat it as if I'm threatening you, Miss Hongyao. You know that I still have this ability." Dazai Osamu's voice was equally calm, "I'm threatening you to act according to my instructions to gain more benefits for me. After the task is over, I will let you go, and I will bear all the consequences, and I voluntarily accept the trial of my behavior. No matter what happens, it has nothing to do with Miss Hongyao."

Hong Yao never expected Osamu Dazai to say such a thing.She was stunned for a while, and then she asked half funny and half helplessly: "Dazai-kun thinks that the reason why I insist on it is because of the persecution of morality and conscience, or because I am afraid of taking responsibility for causing the world to collapse?"

"……Do not."

After a long time, Osamu Dazai replied softly: "Of course I don't think so."

But he couldn't do anything else.

If Hong Yao had a hint of reluctance—even if she didn't realize it herself—he would of course stop her by all means.But what a person does completely out of his heart, even if he is going to die, no one else can stop him.

Osamu Dazai has understood this truth countless times.

In the silence, Hong Yao also understood what Osamu Dazai meant.But for this kindness, she once again tasted the feeling of being timid and timid again.

He is the counterpart of the "Osamu Dazai" she is familiar with, and he is another completely different stranger.They have nothing to do with each other. The memories held by Chief Dazai belong to the past forever. After all, he is walking on his own life track, and this track has nothing to do with her.

Among the countless memories of "Osamu Dazai" he received, there was only one "red medicine" - it was only a few months insignificant in countless lives.It would be quite arrogant and ridiculous if she interfered with his plan because of these few months.

Moreover, the spider silk that was so slender could not hold his heavy soul.

But he went so far as to rewrite his own ending for these few illusory memories.

Maybe it was a bigger mistake to turn around now.Since their positions are doomed to be incompatible, then perhaps her brief hand reaching out to him only hastened his self-destruction.

but……

But she really couldn't pretend not to see it.

"Thank you, Dazai-kun."

Hong Yao turned around, and hung a small garrison on the muzzle of the gun on his back: "I bought it when I went to the shrine, let's keep it as a souvenir."

Without waiting for Osamu Dazai to answer, she waved her hand, turned and walked out.
