Special investigation report from Yokohama

Return the perfect jade to Zhao, to whom can it be returned?

Ango Sakaguchi saw with his own eyes that Fukuji Sakurachi was twisted into blood foam, and it would definitely not be able to return to Fukuji Sakurachi.Even if Fukuchi Sakurachi hadn't died, he wouldn't be able to give him such a sharp weapon as Yu Yuqian—this must be the same for Hongyao.

Which "Zhao" can Yu Yuqian return to?Send it back to the old shrine?Ango Sakaguchi looked at the unsheathed sword in his hand with a question mark on his face, and said to himself.Although it seemed that there was only one answer, he felt that it should not be right.That shrine is not a famous shrine, or even famous only because of this sword.Although he knew the power of the red medicine, he didn't feel that the unknown shrine had attracted her attention.

But... a shrine?

Sakaguchi Ango paused, and suddenly understood something.Speaking of shrines, isn’t that the one they talk about most these days?

The vermilion torii gate remains the same, and the main gate of the shrine is wide open, allowing a clear view of the empty courtyard.Hong Yao has only been missing for a while, and looking at this shrine again, it makes people feel inexplicably that things are right and wrong.

"Oh, distinguished guest, rare guest." A dark blue figure turned around from behind the torii gate, Mikazuki Zongjin and Sakaguchi Ango looked at each other across the torii gate.Then, Taidao's gaze turned to the sword in his hand, and he didn't seem surprised at all when he saw the vibration sword.

"Grandpa thought that the Dazai Hall would come first. Sakaguchi-kun, please come in."

Mikazuki Zongjin got out of the way, but Ango Sakaguchi cautiously did not step forward.Obviously the other party was Hong Yao's retainer, but he felt that Sanri Yue Zong's attitude towards Hong Yao's disappearance...was a little too calm.

According to Ango Sakaguchi's understanding, Hongyao's current situation is actually quite critical. The successive loss of control of "Book Page" and "Huang Ba Tu" has already shown her whereabouts - if she is really at the intersection of the world at this moment, if she uses her own description, it is in the endless turbulence of time and space, then the situation is undoubtedly is quite critical.A reinvented person like Fukuchi Sakurachi can't escape from the strangulation of only two pages, not to mention that Hong Yao has to face the energy aftermath of countless worlds.

But Sanri Yue Zongjin didn't seem to worry about his master's safety at all.Just like at this moment, he can still face his visit with the elegant attitude of a peaceful nobleman, there is no trace of anxiety in his brows, only calm and smiling as always.

Ango Sakaguchi suddenly wondered whether he should accept the invitation.

"You don't look surprised at all." He probed.

"If you tell me where she's going, it's true, I've already prepared for it," Mikazuki said, and then raised his hand to invite Ango Sakaguchi to enter, "Sakaguchi-kun wants to know the whole story of the plan, please come in and discuss it in detail."

That can be explained.Ango Sakaguchi let go of his guard a little bit, and was about to enter, but stopped by the torii gate.

"I still find it strange," Sakaguchi Ango frowned in the face of Mikazuki's slightly puzzled expression, "If Miss Hongyao trusts you the most, then why didn't you just ask Nakajima-kun to hand over Yugozen to you? If she said so, Nakajima would definitely follow through."

And he probably won't pay attention to the whereabouts of such a knife—there are enough things, the red medicine man has not been found yet, Fukuchi Sakurachi's death is still waiting for him to explain, and the port mafia is about to usher in another attack... There is turmoil, and the upper-level factions are also facing a major reshuffle... He has a lot of things to do, what does he care about a knife?

So besides so many retainers who can be trusted absolutely, why did Hong Yao choose herself?Does this mean that even if you bring Amae Gozen to the shrine, you must never hand it over to these...

"Oh," Mikazuki Zong seemed to be a little surprised by Sakaguchi Ango's reaction speed, "Then, what do you think is the master's consideration for this?"

When he said this, it was almost equivalent to admitting his guess.Sure enough, he couldn't give him the knife.Ango Sakaguchi took a step back subconsciously, but heard rustling footsteps behind him.He turned his head and saw Little Fox Maru wearing a fur collar kimono stepping out from behind the tree, his blood-red eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Ango Sakaguchi like a hunting fox: "This road is dead."

The moment Kohomaru stared at him, Ango Sakaguchi's hair stood on end like being stared at by a wild beast.He had no doubt that if he tried to resist, the Taidao hanging on Xiaohumaru's waist would use him as a frame in a second.

"No matter what, everyone has contributed a lot to Yokohama, and the Secret Service and I hope to help you all." Ango Sakaguchi quickly expressed his position and stabilized the two of them, "But we are also worried about the safety of Miss Hongyao. If possible, Can you two tell me what happened first?"

"No one cares more about the master's safety than we do. You just need to leave Yu Yuqian behind."

"If your Excellency Sakaguchi wants to hear, Grandpa will be more than happy to tell you."

Xiaohumaru and Sankai Yuezong spoke at the same time.Xiaohumaru obviously didn't expect Sankayue to give such an answer, and his expression sank: "Your Excellency Sankaiyue!"

"Well, there is no need to worry too much now. The master can handle it for a while, and there is still time to explain the matter to Mr. Sakaguchi."

Ango Sakaguchi saw them playing riddles, and secretly analyzed them in his heart.From the looks of it, they didn't ignore the red medicine, even the guy named Xiaohuwan was very urgent to bring back the red medicine, and the "Yu Yuqian" in his hand was the key to find her.But for some reason, Hong Yao didn't hand over Yu Yuqian to a subordinate who was more loyal and had a better understanding of time and space... Could it be that she didn't want to come back?

How can it be.Ango Sakaguchi immediately denied his outrageous guess.That is, there was a reason why she couldn't come back immediately - and this reason was something he would definitely agree with, but her subordinates might not accept it.

If it was her own fault, these people might have thought more comprehensively than her, so they wouldn't be so urgent.That could only have to do with what she did.As soon as he thought of this conclusion, Ango Sakaguchi's heart sank.

But don't let it be a big event that concerns the whole world!

However, Sanri Yue Zongjin couldn't hear the secret cry in his heart. Seeing the change in his face, he nodded slowly: "It seems that Your Excellency Sakaguchi has already thought of it."

Wait, what did he think of?The premonition came true, and Ango Sakaguchi could hardly keep his composure.Anyway, this is too outrageous, right?The existence of one person can threaten the safety of the whole world. Is the world where he has lived for more than twenty years so fragile?

"I still don't quite understand..." he asked with difficulty.At this moment, he suddenly felt that the knife in his hand was heavy.

But at this time, another question suddenly broke into his mind: If the red medicine can't come back, what will Dazai do?Can he afford to lose again?

Ango Sakaguchi didn't even have to think about the answer to this question.It is not important whether Osamu Dazai can bear the blow of losing the red medicine, what is important is that the red medicine is gone, how should Dazai face his future life?

His resume, his job, and even his new life after leaving the port mafia, everything is closely related to red medicine.If she doesn't come back in the end, then living in this city they saved side by side, living in this world they saved side by side - how will Dazai face the new sun every day?

From an emotional point of view, he certainly hopes that Hong Yao can come back safely more than anyone else.He had already witnessed the "death" of a friend because of his duties, and he didn't want to witness the pain of another friend.But because of his duties, he couldn't easily hand over Yu Yuqian.

"...That's it." Xiaohumaru made a footnote for Mikami Tsukimune's explanation, "Now the world's changes have just begun, and finding the owner may make this process less than perfect. But when all the dust settles, no one will I can relocate the master who was engulfed by the turbulence of time and space."

And Yu Yuqian, who has the power of time and space, is the key to break through the limitations of this world and find the red medicine in the turbulent flow of time and space.Presumably, Koyao specifically asked Atsushi Nakajima to hand over Yugozen to Ango Sakaguchi because her subordinates might act impulsively.

Because he is Dazai Osamu's friend, he will definitely choose to rescue her to the maximum extent; because his camp will definitely give top priority to the safety of the entire world--Hongyao, it really posed a problem for him. .

Despite the slim hope, Ango Sakaguchi tried to negotiate with the two of them: "Since you can freely travel through time and space in history, there must be a way to send ordinary people out of the world, right? I'd like to go there, but I can't find Miss Hongyao How about not coming back?"

"If the master doesn't come back, everything will be empty. With all due respect, the promise made by Your Excellency Sakaguchi is useless." Kohomaru said, taking a step closer to Ango Sakaguchi, "This world will not collapse because of the master's coming and going. , As for the problems that arise later, you should solve them yourself. Hand over Amame, Your Excellency Sakaguchi."

From their standpoint, of course it can be said.As a complete outsider, she has done enough for this world, there is no need to take her life.But as a member of the officialdom, Ango Sakaguchi asked himself: Are they able to deal with these challenges beyond their understanding now?

The answer is no.Don't hesitate, modern science, which has almost no scientific and technological achievements in space and time, can't deal with problems that don't know where they come from.Therefore, if there is a choice-Sakaguchi Ango will of course choose to let the red medicine solve all problems once and for all.

Unfortunately, that option now also happens to be in his hands.

"I'm sorry, but..."

"Give it to me, Ango." A familiar voice sounded from behind Ango Sakaguchi.Sakaguchi Ango turned his head in surprise and looked at the person coming.

"Give it to me, I'll go. Miss Hongyao once left a contract on me... If I go, the possibility of finding her is greater than anyone else."

"Oh, there are really many guests today."

"There's no need to talk about these scenes, you just explained it to Ango so carefully, didn't you just want me to come out?" Osamu Dazai looked at Tsukimune Mikaka.Even he couldn't see what this Shindachi was thinking.For example, at this moment, he didn't know why Sanri Yue Zongjin used this method to stimulate himself to come out - obviously he had already discovered him. At this time, is it interesting to play this kind of probing game where you advance and retreat?

San Riyue found out his dissatisfaction, but laughed it off.Sakaguchi Ango faced the hand extended by Osamu Dazai, hesitating for a moment: "Dazai-kun, you should have heard, now..."

"I've taken care of it." Osamu Dazai replied in a particularly flat tone, "'No Longer in the World' is still somewhat useful in this regard."

That's why he didn't rush to the shrine immediately.If it wasn't for similar reasons, it would be impossible for Hong Yao to hide the whole plan from him.But even though he guessed the right direction, Osamu Dazai didn't feel happy at all.He just finds it difficult to understand - is that more important than him?

Of course he knew that such thinking was "wrong". How could a person and a world be equal?But once this kind of thinking arises, it is really difficult to get rid of it.He even wondered if he had no weight in Hong Yao's heart, otherwise, why could she leave so gracefully every time?

"Where is she?" Osamu Dazai asked, taking Amamegozen from Ango Sakaguchi's hand.

Mikazuki Zongjin looked at him quietly for a moment, then turned and walked towards Honmaru: "Follow me."

Honmaru.

The cherry blossom trees in the back mountain are still blooming out of season.Koyaku told him that it was Manyozakura, the symbol of Honmaru's core.Wanyezakura is connected to the God-inspector by its roots, and its state can reflect the state of the God-inspector.

Judging from the luxuriant cherry blossoms, Hongyao is probably in good condition.Osamu Dazai judged calmly.He knew that his state at the moment was not quite right, but he had no intention of adjusting it.Ever since the whole plan of Hongyao was deduced, it was difficult for the news of Hongyao to arouse any ripples in his heart.Maybe even if the Myriad Leaf Sakura suddenly withered in front of him, he wouldn't think it was a big deal.

It's probably emotional overstress, but it's not quite like that, it's more akin to the coldness and boredom of a relationship coming to an end.

Maybe that's it?He judged almost harshly in his heart.She didn't look like she cared much about him anyway.

Mikazuki Zongjin's footsteps stopped.There are not many people under Wanye Sakura, most of them are "elders" in the main pill, it seems that even if they see through Hongyao's plan, they still choose to hide it from others.

"How?" he asked.

"Give your hand to Father." Karasuma stepped forward and held out her hand to him.Dazai Osamu put on it indifferently, and in an instant, the gemstone on his tie and Manyozakura shone golden at the same time.The golden spiritual power used Karasuma as a medium to connect to one place, and Karasuma took his hand to hold Yu Yuqian and swung it down vigorously.

Under Wanye Sakura, a black hole suddenly appeared out of thin air.Osamu Dazai only felt a slight push from behind, and he walked into the cave involuntarily.

Time and space flew past him.

Even for Osamu Dazai, this was a completely new experience.What he sees is not a continuous and smooth fast forward of each day and year, but incomplete fragments.Maybe one moment it was an old-fashioned ship at the end of the Bakumura, and the next moment it became the bullock cart of the nobles in the Heian period; in the successive conquests of the Warring States period, there might be the familiar phantom of Yokohama passing by, and the occasional flash of ancient and The modern strange splicing does not seem strange, only the horror caused by the strange splicing of the familiar and the unfamiliar.

"This is a place abandoned by history. The history has been changed, and thus the fragments of the world that died in being abandoned and forgotten." Xiao Karasuma explained lightly.Noticing Osamu Dazai's subconscious search, he reminded: "Pay attention. What you hear is not my voice 'now', but my existence in history."

"Is this the power of the gods?" Osamu Dazai sighed, "It's amazing."

"This is the strength given by history."

"Is there a difference?"

"When I was Emperor Huanmu, the sword carried by the eight-footed crow was the ancestor of the Japanese sword, the oldest one in Honmaru." Karasuma did not answer, but opened another topic, "In other words, I have experienced The longest history, so it can guide you a farther distance. But the distance is only more than 1000 years until the Heian Dynasty."

There is no need to explain anymore, the change in the scene in front of him has already made Osamu Dazai understand what he meant.Since Osamu Dazai stepped here, the farthest scene he has seen is the Heian Dynasty.Thinking about it now, probably because it was the history that Karasuma had experienced, so it could be visualized under his guidance.

What about that?

"A mere world, and its parallel worlds can be counted in trillions. The vast worlds mentioned by Buddhism are not false. I can't guide you to those worlds that I haven't seen and don't exist. At that time, what you have What I saw was nothing but emptiness. Under such circumstances, it is not easy to stick to one’s heart, let alone find someone.” Even when he was talking about such an alarming topic, Karasuma’s voice was as steady as ever.

"That is to say..." Osamu Dazai stopped walking as he watched the scene that suddenly darkened in front of him.

"That is to say, this is the farthest distance I can protect you, Dazai-den." Outside of this extremely lively and extremely lonely time and space, Karasuma changed the name of Dazai Osamu for the first time, and also for the first time. Once, there was a dignified voice in front of him, "In the boundless world beyond this, you will be walking on thin ice, and there will be no chance of turning back. The only way for you to come back is to find our master, use yourself as an anchor, Follow her power back to your world."

"What if you can't find it?"

"Among the tomes in the government's collection, it is not uncommon for the inquisitor to be unable to return, and to be completely lost in the boundless time and space."

This is the case for a god judge who has been dealing with time and space all year round, let alone an ordinary person.

"If you look back now, you can return safely without any loss."

Dazai looked around.The scene in front of me can be said to be wonderful.What Osamu Dazai saw was just an empty void, but following Karasuma's narration, he could clearly feel that time and space were divided into two distinct parts with his own toes as the boundary.Behind is the "known", which is the safe way home; ahead is the "unknown", which is the real emptiness, emptiness and nothingness.

At this juncture, why did you suddenly ask him this?

If it was face-to-face, Osamu Dazai could guess the answer without asking.But now that Karasuma didn't speak, he had no way of judging his emotions, nor could he deduce his purpose.So, he asked truthfully: "From the incident of 'Community', Karasuma asked me to help... No, when the other 'Dazai' came, Karasuma had expected this scene. You have been working so hard until now, isn't it just to let me find her?"

What the hell is he trying to do?Even Dazai Osamu couldn't guess why Karasuma chose him.They did meet a few times, but he seemed to be just to observe his reaction, but until now, what did he see from his reaction, what conclusion did he draw, and what decision did he make? do not know either.

Because all actions are not in the hands of this great patriarch.Mikazuki is difficult to read, but Osamu Dazai knows his purpose; Tsurumaru Kuninaga is unpredictable, but Osamu Dazai can guess his train of thought.Only Karasuma, he seemed to know nothing, and seemed to be everywhere, which made him feel unspeakable constraints everywhere.

The depression brought about by this calculation combined with today's various shocks made him feel a little impulsive for a long time.Why—just because of his feelings for Hong Yao, just because of their special relationship, should he endure their riddles all the time, and give in to these people's concealment again and again?

"What if I quit?" He asked sharply.

"Then come back." Karasuma's answer was as calm as ever.

At that moment, Osamu Dazai really had the intention of putting down the pick.

"It's almost enough to deceive children. Do you think I will be the kind of person who will be so blinded by so-called love that I will be desperate?" Osamu Dazai put his hands in his pockets and asked coldly.Perhaps that kind of taste can indeed deceive people's minds, but since the moment he heard the busy message belonging to red medicine from Sakunosuke Oda's mobile phone in the port mafia building today-Osamu Dazai thought, there is nothing in his life that compares to that. It's time to wake up.

No matter what kind of beautiful words she said, no matter how single-minded she was, she was always the first one to withdraw when encountering such things.He may be a very important lover in her heart, but that's all.When encountering difficulties, the first thing she thinks of is Honmaru's sword. When choosing a partner, she would rather hand Yu Yuzen to Ango.Even to carry out such a dangerous mission, she did not leave a word for her after all.

Perhaps in her heart, he has never been an equal and trustworthy object.

The author has something to say:

I can't express it due to the limitation of skill, let me explain, if you think you can understand Zai's behavior, don't read it:

Zai now thinks that his feelings for Hongyao have ebbed, probably because he was dominated by hormones in the past, but now he is sober.I think it's normal for him to feel this way now. One is the reasons he thinks at the end. From Hongyao's point of view, Dazai is a factor with great uncertainty in the plan. It is too cruel for Dazai to make a choice, so she will hide it from him, so that even if the result is bad, Dazai is more inclined to blame her distrust instead of blaming himself for being slow and incompetent.

Of course, from Dazai's point of view, this is pure mistrust. His own feeling is probably that most of the things have been resolved, and he was going to live a happy life of dating and fishing at the same time, but Hongyao suddenly notified him The solution you thought was just the beginning, I'll take care of the rest here, and you don't have to worry about anything else.He must be very angry and disappointed to pour a basin of cold water on his head with such enthusiasm.At this time, he went to this kind of place to save people again, so it's really not surprising that he said in a fit of anger that he would quit the job.

Of course, Zai in a normal state would not be so angry. The sudden loss of contact with Hong Yao actually irritated him.On the one hand, he knew very well that he could do nothing about time and space; on the other hand, only Hong Yao could do this matter, and Dazai couldn't think of any good solution.Subconsciously, he also knew that it was difficult for him to make a decision between the absolute safety of red medicine and the absolute safety of the world.The combination of these two stimuli made it difficult for him to calmly face the disappearance of the red medicine.So he subconsciously chose a relatively naive coping method, denying the importance of the red medicine to himself, and considering her as a "not important but must live" person to consider the solution.

大概算是……一种比较特殊的退行现象？感谢在2022-01-0203:36:18~2022-01-0320:03:35期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~
