Chapter 263
Chapter 263
What was strange at first was the sudden large-scale explosion in Yokohama.
Although the port mafia is the dark side of Yokohama, it controls the night full of blood and violence.But for this city with a special political status, it is an irreplaceable maintainer of order in the dark world.
The occurrence of the five declines of heaven and man caused unknown malice and conspiracy to secretly surge in Yokohama.However, the information deliberately sent by Osamu Dazai forced Mori Ogai, the leader of the port mafia, to give up his original plan.
The hound's undercover stance is not firm, and there is a possibility of turning him on his side. He promised to provide asylum to the detective agency in order to obtain a powerful person with different abilities and so on.Everything Mori Ogai does is focused on the organization, trying to get as much benefit as possible for the port mafia. This is also the shackles that he can never get rid of after he becomes the leader.
It may be too early to say forever, after all, according to the message sent by Osamu Dazai, the end of this world is coming.
In light of Osamu Dazai’s reminder, there was no cash and banknotes stored in the headquarters of the port mafia, which avoided the impact of the first round of explosions, and there were no casualties in the headquarters, which was incompatible with the chaos of the entire city.
The middle-aged man with a serious expression stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the chief's room with his hands behind his back. His pupils reflected the doomsday scene dyed red, which was very close to the color of the pupils themselves.
The industries of the port mafia are also spread in every corner of the city, presumably it won't be long before urgent reports of damage to those industries will be sent to him.
If it was the former Mori Ogai, he would have had a headache in the face of such a disaster, but at this moment, there is no need for him to continue to work hard.
There will be no future in this world.
Akutagawa Ryunosuke's behavior is also under his supervision. As Dazai Osamu's former direct subordinate, he will inevitably obey the other party's arrangements in times of crisis.Coupled with the many incidents not long ago, he and Renhu from the detective agency were finally resolved together, and they guarded Yokohama many times.Mori Ogai simply turned a blind eye, and let him go as long as it didn't affect the interests of the organization.
However, what really surprised Mori Ogai was the information that Akutagawa Ryunosuke brought back a few days ago.
He and Renhu from the detective agency learned the true face of Shenwei, and they planned to cooperate to defeat each other, but they were blocked by the last person of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man on the way.
Pandora's Actor, Osamu Dazai from the future.
Not to mention the relationship between Dazai Osamu and the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, just the fact that Kamui's true face is the hound captain Fukuji Sakurachi is enough to cause turmoil in the world.
It seems that because Osamu Dazai, who was wearing the identity of Pandora's Actor, said something at the time, after faking the death of the two in front of Kamui, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's original hostility towards Atsushi Nakajima dissipated most of it inexplicably. .
During the period, Mori Ogai contacted Fukuzawa Yukichi again, and also learned more information from the detective agency, confirmed the fact that the world is about to be destroyed, and had a general idea of the reasons why Osamu Dazai did not want to meet with the detective agency. guess.
It's just that when the world was shrouded in blood and gunpowder smoke, Mori Ogai still couldn't help feeling that Osamu Dazai's behavior this time was crazier than any previous one.
The banknote bombs disseminated by Melles killed tens of thousands of people in an instant.Not only Yokohama, but every corner of the world is covered with a shadow called death because of him.
The man who suddenly appeared on the screens of all electronic devices attracted Mori Ogai's attention.He waved away the guard in front of the door, and sat silently on the seat in front of the window. Alice, who was always playful on weekdays, was no longer self-willed. She hugged her knees and wondered about something. mood.
It was Pandora's Actor who, at the end of the world's imminent destruction, cleared the stigma of the detective agency with an extremely crazy gesture.
He is giggling in the picture, his tone is exaggerated and weird, but for those who are familiar with Osamu Dazai, it is not difficult to hear the original timbre from the opera.He regards the world as ants, without concealing his contempt, his words are like poisoned daggers, and he can easily defeat something called hope.
Since then, something unknown has changed.
The chaos that spread from Yokohama lasted only a short time, and before Mori Ogai even received the damage reports from individual areas, everything seemed to be back on track.
People no longer feel panic, even if they are surrounded by wreckage caused by explosions and cars burning with raging flames that may explode at any time, people walking on the streets will not avoid it at all.
Like a marionette being pulled, there is no sense of self at all.
At this point, the port mafia is no longer immune.
Mori Ogai soon found that the people who stayed in the headquarters kept repeating the behavior of the previous day, and no one could respond to him.The souls of the people in the whole city seemed to be taken away, and strange things were filled in the empty skins, maintaining the absurd and ridiculous peace on the surface.
Knowing that there is a sea of flames ahead, passers-by still behave unaware until they are burned to ashes.No one paid any attention to the issue of the Armed Detective Agency, and the hounds also shifted their targets. The members of the agency who were not deprived of their self-awareness were able to walk in the sun again, but there was no easy way to clear their stigma.
Because they know that this piece of purgatory on earth was forged by Osamu Dazai himself.
That's why he didn't want to meet with the detective agency, and took the initiative to commit the crime of the five declines of heaven and man, hoping to preserve the last trace of precarious affection.
No one can stop this disaster. The rapidly spreading singularity has taken away the consciousness of too many people, allowing human beings to usher in their own sunset without realizing it.
Mori Ogai was still dressed as a serious leader. The guard who was supposed to be waiting in front of the gate left at some point, and he might have lost his life in the disaster.The number of people who can come to the headquarters alive every day is less and less, but in less than three days, desolation has become the main tone of this once prosperous port city.
Dull footsteps sounded behind him, and the young man who suddenly appeared in the leader's room was holding a bottle of red wine in his arms, and the hem of his black clothes fluttered as he walked.He came to the silent Mori Ogai, and gracefully pulled out the cork from the bottle mouth. The mellow aroma of wine spread, breaking the unchanging daily routine in this house for several days.
Shuji Tsushima put the wine glass next to Mori Ogai, and slowly sat down on the other side, staring at the still slightly dazzling sunset outside the window together, and started the topic first.
"Wouldn't it be sad to witness the death of a city you loved so much?"
"This is also a helpless thing." The man didn't react too much, but just smiled wryly, "You deliberately left me at the end to get revenge on me, Dazai-kun?"
His eyes fell on the young man sitting on the other side of the seat, and he saw familiar and unfamiliar clothes.
That was Osamu Dazai's appearance before he defected. His right eye was covered with a bandage for many years, and he was wearing a fine black suit with the overcoat he gave him back then.It's just that the cold aura that should have been lingering around him has disappeared, and it no longer makes people feel unfathomable. Instead, it looks like a student in a stage play, who has never had the cold-blooded cruelty that belongs to the mafia.
The coat Dazai Osamu said not long ago had been burned long ago, but now it appeared on him in the future, and it finally fit when he was 22 years old.
Mori Ogai, who never thought he would have the opportunity to see this picture, felt an unknown emotion in his heart.
Shuji Tsushima, who could roughly guess what the other party was thinking, closed his eyes slightly while playing with his wine glass, and drank the red wine in the glass without any tasting ability.
He tilted his head so that his only left eye that can see things could look at Mori Ogai, and whispered: "There is nothing more cruel than this, but if it is you, Mr. Mori, it is understandable."
It was indeed his revenge. Oda Tsukuru in the main world had already been rescued by himself. It stands to reason that Shuji Tsushima no longer had any reason to resent him.It's just that the root world is the place where he existed in the past after all, and it will completely disappear from then on. He still doesn't want to waste this one-time opportunity.
The new world will be reborn from the ruins. Mr. Mori, who has known the "insider story", must be able to understand what he did.
Just as he can understand what the leader did in the mimic event.
Mori Ogai didn't feel annoyed. In the current situation, it would be better to say that he would feel ridiculous for Shuji Tsushima's little thought, the kind of parent who sees their children making trouble.
The corner of the man's mouth curled up, and he pretended to complain: "Understandable, it's just that it's too much for a leader to end like this."
Seeing the destruction of Yokohama with my own eyes, even knowing that it was not for this city alone, but for the entire world.As the leader of the port mafia, his emotions are still too delicate.
"I don't hate you." The curly-haired youth said without warning.
"Mr. Sen just did what a leader should do, and taught me a lesson in the end. I have no reason to resent. After all, if I were to handle this matter at that time, it would be exactly the same choose."
"Ha." Mori Ogai chuckled, "It's not your style to be so straightforward, Dazai-kun."
Over the years of getting along and teaching, Mori Ogai knew the character of this child very well. These words were impossible to happen between the two of them, but now they can confess at the last moment.
He has changed a lot.
"I don't have the memory of Osamu Dazai in the past. Even after getting the 'book', I can only watch everything that happened from the perspective of God, without any sense of substitution."
Shuji Tsushima leaned back in the chair, his voice was so soft that it could not be heard, and he put his hands on his knees.
"In the world restarted in the future, I have already saved Odasaku, so now I can chat with Mr. Mori calmly."
The man raised his glass, not knowing whether his words were sarcasm or something, "Thank you, Dazai-kun, for leaving me at the end."
"Because the sunset is so beautiful." Shuji Tsushima replied with a rambling answer, perfunctorily raising the empty wine glass in his hand.
This is a sunset that belongs to human beings. It is no different from the past, but it is so dazzling that it is impossible to look directly at it.
Thinking of something, the curly-haired youth suddenly grinned, and said in a disgusted tone, "I hate that red scarf."
Mori Ogai lowered his head thoughtfully, his eyes fell on the scarf hanging on his chest, "If you want it, I can give it to you now."
In the past, it was impossible for him to make such a joke.After all, this involves his status as the leader of the port mafia, and the other party is one of the five major cadres whom he has been jealous of for a long time. Too obvious temptations may cause the precarious balance to break. Mafia civil unrest.
But now it's no longer necessary.
Two days ago, he could still learn about the panic of people in other parts of the world, but as time passed, the toy box of the gods finally closed.It is unknown whether there are more people who retain consciousness in this world, and there are only a few walking dead left.
Shuji Tsushima narrowed his eyes, glared fiercely at the middle-aged man beside him, and said in a serious tone, "Mr. Mori, until I find the meaning of living, I will not take the initiative to put the shackles on myself."
"Have you found it now?" Mori Ogai asked without warning.
"..."
"Is it weird that I would ask that?"
Hearing the words, Shuji Tsushima nodded emphatically.
"After all, I have always treated you like a humanoid computer. It would be strange to ask such a question. This kind of weird concern makes people creepy."
He scratched the back of his head, as if he was not used to the bandage for too long, and his fingertips flinched slightly when he touched the wrapped bandage.
The young man spread his hands out of frustration, acting like a student whose parents accidentally revealed a little secret, pouted and said in a muffled voice: "I found it, this time I really found it. So it is true to say that it is true to fall in love and save the world." .”
"Is it with that devil?" The middle-aged man confirmed it himself after having fully obtained the information from the Armed Detective Agency.
The demon Fyodor was the man behind the chaos in Yokohama several times, but Osamu Dazai chose to instigate him in the most impossible way in order to solve the five evils of heaven and man from the root.
Feeling inexplicably uncomfortable, the young man closed his eyes, pondered for a while and decided to answer truthfully, "That's right, the one who killed one of your cadres, stole A's privately collected information on the supernatural powers of members of the port mafia, and then stabbed you." A demon who even made someone shoot me with a knife."
Mori Ogai stopped breathing for a moment, and the young man's words brought a lot of information, but now there is no need for anything, and he does not intend to ask questions about the ability information collected by A.
The man just kept silent, even after many days of preparation, after confirming from his own mouth that Osamu Dazai was really with that demon, he still had uncontrollable absurd emotions.
"Because they are of the same kind?" Mori Ogai looked complicated, and the seemingly endless questions revealed what he cared most about.
"Because they are of the same kind."
The young man replied like this, with a gentle expression that had never been shown in front of the other party.
It's like having already tasted what happiness is.
Seeing the seriousness in Tsushima Shuji's eyes, Mori Ogai smiled lightly, with a relieved expression, "That's good."
At least at the end of the world, I can send the most sincere blessings from the elders to this child who I have taught, feared, and broken.
Bless his soul finally not to wander in the dark.
