If I don't quit, I will be forced to usurp the throne.

"leader."

"Come in."

I pushed the door open, and the first thing I noticed was the different light in the chief's office.

The closed floor-to-ceiling windows are now open, and the natural light coming in illuminates the room, and this atmosphere makes me feel like I have returned to the period of Hong Kong and Heilongjiang.But the black-haired young man standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows brought me back to my senses—this is not my world.

I stood there and stopped at a certain distance.

Looking at it from this angle, I can still see the comics and half-eaten snacks I put on the leader's desk before.

"Mr. Dazai... No, leader." I didn't intend to make jokes, and directly expressed my guess, "Did you deliberately let me and Akutagawa confront each other?"

The black-haired young man had a smile on his face: "Huh? Xiaoqian, why do you say that?"

"...Isn't this obvious?" My expression became serious, "If you let me go to the detective agency, I will definitely meet Akutagawa, and if you send Xiaoyin's photo there, the other party will know where Xiaoyin is... In addition to the shoot-to-kill order you issued, Xiaoyin is your personal secretary, inquire about her... Seeing the photo of the sister I have been looking for, I will definitely inquire... But you sent me there What is the intention, is it to prevent the conflict from intensifying?"

"Because of Xiaoqian's words, no matter how dissatisfied Akutagawa is, he will definitely save his life." The black-haired young man returned to the attitude I saw him at the beginning. Although he had a smile on his face, it was cold and full of The majestic attitude of the superior, "This way my plan can proceed as usual."

"...Sure enough, it's your fault that I appeared in this world?"

The other party nodded, and his tone actually revealed a little bit of comfort: "Xiao Qian is really smart."

"...I don't want to be so smart." I sighed, and continued to stare at him with a serious expression, "So... you mislead me into thinking that you are [Mr. Dazai] also..."

"Ah, this is not it, I am also a little surprised by this, Xiaoqian, you would think of going there."

"..." Does the subtext mean that my brain is too big? !Pooh!My reasoning is sound and reasonable!

"Actually, I'm also very curious. According to your observation acumen, Xiaoqian, you should be able to observe the difference in body size between me and Osamu Dazai in that world, right? Why do you think that?" The black-haired young man said with a smile on his face Curious look.

"Ah, this..." I scratched my head embarrassingly, and said, "Well, didn't I think it was a soul wear..."

"..." After a few seconds of silence, the black-haired young man suddenly laughed, "Xiao Qian can always surprise me."

"Don't think that you can write off the past by praising me." I restrained my expression and said in a serious tone, "How do you know me? How do you know what happened in that world?"

"Little Qian, you really dare to ask..." The black-haired young man turned around and faced me, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"Uh..." I hesitated, "Although I also know that I should be a little nervous at this time, but I always feel that since you made me come to this world, then you can't wait until you complete the layout you want. Will kill me... I don't think your layout is complete now."

"...Why does Xiaoqian make such judgments?"

"Because I am more willing to believe what I think than what is in front of my eyes." I replied seriously, "But the only confusion I have now is...how do you know?"

"This..." The black-haired young man tilted his head slightly, as if he was thinking about it, and then suddenly said ah, walked up to me, and put one hand on my shoulder.

I felt a bit of vigilance in my heart, and secretly judged—well, the footsteps are vain, and the person who has been in the office for four years is not a big threat. If you want to plot against me, I can easily put him...

"...Huh?" Feeling the warm touch on my forehead belatedly, my mind went blank, I subconsciously took two steps back, and after realizing it, I showed an expression of disbelief, "...ha——!? "

Instead, the other party showed a curious expression: "Why did you show that expression? Don't you know Xiaoqian?"

I "...what do I know?!" Why don't I know? !You might as well plot against me, you fucking!

……Ah, wait!A new type of conspiracy? !

The black-haired young man smiled happily: "Didn't you say it yourself, Xiaoqian? I have a crush on..."

"Wait--! I'm sorry! I'm sorry, leader, I was so shameless before! Please forgive me!" I almost cried, what kind of revenge is this?Is this what everyone looks like after becoming a leader?Does my apology help? !

Although the saying goes that if an apology is useful, what are the police and the mafia doing, but I am both a policeman and a mafia, so it is still useful!

"Xiao Qian, don't you believe it?"

"...No, this is not a question of whether to believe it or not? Leader, please be sober, different worlds are different people, I am not..."

The other party interrupted me directly: "I know."

"...Huh?" My expression became hesitant, although I felt that I thought this was a bit like feeling too good about myself, and if I made a mistake, it would be embarrassing to be self-indulgent...but...

I frowned, and my tone was a bit dignified: "Then, that... I have someone I like..."

The other party laughed out loud as if he couldn't help it: "I know."

Me: "..." Well, it's confirmed, you really are playing tricks on me, right?Phew, rubbish!

"...Wait a minute, leader, don't try to fool around like that, what are you hiding, and what are you planning..."

There was a knock at the door, it was Dun's voice.

"Boss, someone has invaded."

"...It's the detective agency." I frowned, and looked at the black-haired young man standing there, because the natural light hit him, rendering him without the gloom at the beginning, "You ...What the hell is..."

"That's for you, Xiaoqian...won't you go and have a look?"

"...I will go." I stared at him closely, and after a while, I turned around, "After I finish dealing with the intruders, I will ask you, the leader, to really clarify my doubts for me."

After I finished speaking, I added a sentence: "I don't read much, so don't lie to me."

……

After the person left, the young leader of Hong Kong gangsters closed the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the leader's office was once again shrouded in an oppressive and dark atmosphere, looking dead silent.

"Yin, you go too, it's time to see your brother."

The slim black-haired girl who came out of the cubicle did not speak, and her footsteps hesitated a bit.

"Xiaoqian should face off against your brother... Maybe he will get hurt."

Hearing this, the girl immediately shook off the hesitation, said yes, and left in a hurry.

I don't know which of the two people in that sentence I'm worried about.Or... worried about two people.

After the sound of footsteps completely disappeared, the black-haired young man stood up from the leader's position, walked forward slowly, and walked into the depths of the room step by step with apparently light but heavy steps, opening a dark door. Door.

Behind the secret door is a pure white device that is completely opposite to the surrounding black.It looks like a pretty sophisticated instrument.

And under the transparent glass cover of the instrument, there is a brown-haired girl with her eyes closed, who seems to be asleep.

"It's really difficult to expand the sphere of influence under the premise of concealing that Hong Kong gangsters have a license to operate with special abilities... But in this way, when you are in power, you can show enough achievements to suppress the people below... Things that have not been done, such as obtaining a special ability opening license]..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't trust me and guard against me, [yourself] will definitely believe it."

"After all... you are more willing to believe what you think about than what is in front of your eyes... right?"

The black-haired young man murmured, lowered his head as if being attacked by exhaustion, pressed his heart, closed his eyes, as if he was listening to the frequency of his heartbeat carefully.

"Soon... it will end soon..."
