[Dororo...]
[Where is this place, there are so many white flames of life. 】
Baiguimaru lived in the era of war and famine. How could he have seen so many souls who were not numb and depraved in their hearts.
People generally don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes. As long as you give them a little money, you can release the devil who is repressed in your heart and become a wicked person no less than evil. In the impression of Hyakkimaru walking alone, the white flame of life usually looks at him from a distance and does not approach easily, and gentle and kind people are usually weak and timid.
So, why are these people willing to surround themselves and illuminate the darkness?
[They...are trying to help me? 】
Hakukimaru, who has a clear mind, crossed the logic of thinking and captured their kindness.
Through this time, he has been separated from the world of "Dororo" by a dark barrier, relying solely on the sparse knowledge in his cognition, and the only thing he can trust is the "Dororo" he holds in his hand. It's not that he doesn't want to go home to see his adoptive father, but the inertia of the plot reminds him that if he wants to crusade the devil and retrieve his organs, he must follow the destiny set by God.
Just wait, he'll be back.
After getting what fate gave him back, he would definitely go to see his adoptive father and thank the man.
Baiguimaru sensed that "Dorolo"'s hand was holding tightly, but instead he calmed down, sketched the other person's slender finger lines in his mind, held the other person back, and responded to his desire to save himself.
【I have never resented the world. ]
[Please don't be sad, I will try my best to save myself and seize any hope. 】
A look of surprise flashed across Dazai Osamu's eyes.
Hyakkimaru... Can you understand what he meant by bringing him here?
Immediately afterwards, Osamu Dazai, who had discussed it properly, raised the corners of his mouth, drew out his hand, and knocked on the head of Hakukimaru.
"Don't be cranky, the doctor will be here soon!"
The boy wearing a face mask to appease Dazai Osamu did not escape the eyes of others. Even though the mask behind the mask may be extremely ugly, the light of never compromising on suffering and adhering to humanity in the dark has passed through the seemingly normal skin, giving people an indescribable spiritual touch.
It seemed that even the gods had pity on him.
He was reluctant to die, gave him a chance to live, and gave him hope for treatment.
Every member of the Armed Detective Agency has been tested and has a common belief. Naturally, they are very sympathetic to what happened to Baiguimaru, and they are willing to save this person without negotiating conditions.
"Not bound by justice, not bound by human feelings, not bound by shame."
This is the code of conduct for the Butcher!
The kindness of the members and interns towards the two clients reached a height when they judged the prosthesis with Dr. Yosano, frowned, and walked over on high heels.
They still don't know what kind of scene Fukuzawa Yukichi wants them to see.
With Akiko Yosano, they walked quickly to Baiguimaru to examine the injured person from a close distance. Then, she glanced at the somewhat hypocritical Dazai Osamu and asked, "Are you his friend?"
Dazai Osamu said vaguely, "Almost."
Friends?
What is that... Is there a definition of "friend" between him and Hyakkimaru?
He rolled his eyes with Akiko Yosano: "Is it more like a friend? You can bring him to find me, I am afraid that I have gone through many inquiries. The news of my armed detective agency has not been circulated to the outside world.
" Angel of death, the current social doctor turned to Baigui Wan to be gentle.
"How did you become like this?"
Baiguimaru looked at "Dororo" on the left, and looked at the white flame in front of it on the right. The newly appeared white flame had a soft feeling, and the edge of the flame burned into a flocculent shape. If the flame of "Dororo" is like a dark The pure white of a scribble, the flames of strangers like fluffy white cotton.
[I recalled something from my previous life...]
Hyakkimaru, who couldn't answer anyone, faced strangers with an indifferent puppet attitude.
In autism... The
daily life is high and cold, and there is a chance to follow the ancient dragon style in the future.
"This lady, he can't hear." Osamu Dazai replied with a smile instead of Baiguimaru, "His name is Baiguimaru, he is about 14 or 15 years old, he is missing many vital organs, and he relies on prosthetic limbs to maintain the ability to walk. It's better for you to judge the situation yourself, we are all laymen compared to you."
Admitting one's own shortcomings in front of the doctor will undoubtedly restore a little goodwill with Yosano Akiko.
Yosano Akiko asked Edogawa Ranpo with their eyes, Edogawa Ranpo stopped eating cookies, chewed bear cookies, and said, "The president will not appear in the office, and the decision is left to you. He took the
initiative to turn the chair and turned his back to the others: "I'll be fine."
Dazai Osamu: "..."
This scene is a bit familiar, isn't it something he did?
With a sigh, Osamu Dazai took a step back and also came behind Hyakkimaru. In order to prevent Baiguimaru from turning around with him, he did not let go of the left hand he was holding, and pressed the opponent's shoulder.
Reduce risk.
OK, so it is convenient for the doctor to check without being stimulated.
"Doctor, please."
After a series of procedures, Osamu Dazai said seriously to Akiko Yosano who met for the first time.
Please be sure to finish the examination calmly like Mr. Mori!
"Check here?" Yosano Akiko was not very happy, but Edogawa Ranpo said: "Well, I suggested it, let them take a look, this is what our armed detective agency will face sooner or later. Things." The famous detective looked at Osamu Dazai out of the corner of his eye, and there were some things that didn't need to be said.
- This is the price of treatment.
Dazai Osamu agreed: "Don't worry, Baiguimaru won't care about your evaluation."
Whether you like it or hate it, it means nothing to Baiguimaru, and only trusted people can accompany him.
He raised the arc of the corner of his mouth, even though he didn't know how long he would stay with Baiguimaru, but he found something interesting in life, which was much better than numbly searching.
[Hakukimaru, I want you to see this world that is neither black nor white. ]
[For me...]
[Go and feel it. ]
In the office space of the Armed Detective Agency, Hyakkimaru's face mask was carefully removed by Akiko Yosano, and she was caught off guard and faced the face with its missing organs and skin. Her hands trembled, she didn't hold the edge of the mask, and was grabbed by Osamu Dazai before she accidentally fell.
"Be careful, doctor."
His voice was clear and harsh in the silent office.
Kunikida was horrified, the blood suddenly disappeared from his face, Tian Shan Huabao's dozing eyes suddenly widened, he wrapped the quilt, his head was hidden in the quilt, and his whole body trembled.
"This, this is Mr. Baigui?!"
Haruno Kirako, who came back from the president's office, screamed and stepped back, leaning against the wall in fear.
She was sluggish with Akiko Yosano, and her five fingers touched the face of Hyakukimaru who lost everything. Compared with the horror that Haruno Kirako felt, she was truly brought back to the memory of being on the battlefield.
A dark memory rose from her mind, the exhaustion and despair of the soldiers, the blood in the war-torn land, as if the war had no end... Just like this faceless face, deprived of beauty and exposed the cruel inner, Aroused a strong sense of sadness in her heart.
Why...humans always hurt each other like this.
"He can see you."
Osamu Dazai's tone sounded brisk, like the most indifferent narration.
"Forgot to tell you one thing, his spine is also fake, remember to take it out during treatment."
But he avoided looking at the face of Baiguimaru, avoided looking at the reflection in Yoshino Akiko's eyes, and lowered his eyes , to feel the calmness of Hyakkimaru when the mask was removed.
Is this doctor a good man?
Just as you believe in good people, you believe in people who haven't killed anyone.
Akiko Yosano couldn't believe it at all: "Unless it's a supernatural ability, he can't see me!"
Osamu Dazai said, "The doctor might as well give it a try."
Akiko Yosano was ruthless, and touched this face, in her The moment he was about to do so, his hand was caught by Hyakkimaru. Baiguimaru slowly put down the stranger's hand, the two holes in the eyes are not as quiet as those on the mask, let alone the raised eye end and the face of a beautiful boy.
He is the misfortune of misfortune, the ugliness of ugliness, and he will lose everything from birth!
Baiguimaru cried.
In the only moment when he was born, he cried aloud.
The mother in the delivery room, the maid, the nurse, these people have all heard it, but after the thunder and lightning, he was deprived of twelve important organs by the devil, and the bones that lost the skin did not have a complete muscle layer, and blood was flowing. , The man with no limbs was naked, scaring everyone, and the sharp cry of the baby became the only sound of Baiguiwan to survive in the world.
The statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva was placed on the side of the delivery room, facing Baigui Wan. After the baby was born, the statue was decapitated by an invisible force, and it was only too late to protect his life.
He has been like this ever since.
Akiko Yosano did not know about the past of Baiguimaru, and she was in a trance, especially when she heard Osamu Dazai inserting a knife deep into his heart: "Haiguimaru's mind's eye can distinguish between good and evil, and others can't easily approach him. He seems... the doctor is a good person."
A simple sentence brought tears to the corners of Yosano Akiko's eyes.
"Am I a good person..."
The angel of death who forced the soldiers to be unable to die, kept recovering, and finally committed suicide in the collapse of the battlefield, was considered a good person by a boy without eyes after many years.
She didn't kill a single person, and countless soldiers were desperate because of her and hated her.
She... didn't save the people she wanted to save.
Edogawa Ranpo answered unexpectedly: "Yes, you are a doctor who saves and heals the wounded and the most important member of our armed detective agency. He will think that you are a good person and see your heart."
Yosano Akiko Shocked.
Dazai Osamu smiled, "Inside?"
Edogawa refused to look back, sitting on a chair with his legs bent and looking at the scenery, like a mysterious man in a poster.
He spoke with certainty with an analytical power that surpassed Dazai's.
"None of us have killed anyone or committed crimes for selfish desires. The president cannot be a good person in Baiguimaru's eyes due to his past professional reasons, but the members of our armed detective agency are all people who stand on a righteous standpoint. What kind of people are we, what kind of people are the president!" At the
end, Edogawa Ranpo worked hard to clean up Fukuzawa Yukichi, and inspired the members.
Wipe off excess fragile feelings with Akiko Yosano, and face Hyakkimaru.
"The first time I met, I was with Akiko Yosano, the social doctor of the Armed Detective Agency. I don't know if you can feel me talking, thank you for your recognition of me, my ability is 'Please don't die', can It can perfectly restore the dying person to a healthy state."
This is an extraordinary ability that will be swarmed by people in the outside world.
"Don't worry..." The
seventeen-year-old girl who had experienced war went to disassemble his prosthetic limb. With the help of Osamu Dazai, he put the missing limbs on the seat, and Osamu Dazai blocked it with his body. With missing limbs, only Akiko Yosano, who is a doctor, is allowed to see clearly.
"I will restore you to a normal person." The
power of "please don't die" is the spiritual portrayal of Yosano Akiko: Please don't die.
After making up his mind, Akiko Yosano's hand that touched Baikimaru's shoulders radiated light with supernatural abilities, and rose-red light spots floated out, as if tiny butterflies were flying. The supernatural power shrouded Baiguiwan, without a trace of evil, just like the revival power of life, there is no need to cut the opponent into a serious injury state first!
because! This man has always been on the brink of death!
Dazai released his hand.
Hakukimaru was overwhelmed by the dazzling rays of light that erupted in the darkness, and instinctively turned his head to Osamu Dazai, his lost hands recovered little by little under the power of the healing power. The forearm part of his left hand really grew bones and muscles, and it became a little bit to form a palm!
The skin of his face was recovering, and the eyes, nose, and lips appeared accordingly. Half of the unsightly muscle layer covered the face of a human teenager—a face that was even better than a mask.
There is nothing more miraculous than this!
From the extreme ugliness breeds the beauty that human beings should have.
Baiguimaru was suddenly freed from the darkness, and his pupils couldn't see anything clearly under the dazzling white light. He instinctively went to find the "Dorolo" behind him, panicking.
Whenever and wherever, "Dororo" is the direction of his sight.
Dazai Osamu let out a dry smile.
"Haiguimaru..."
His heart was actually nervous, his face was stiff, and he wanted to show his good side.
What kind of smile is it, can such a smile be accepted by Baiguimaru?
However.
Dazai Osamu found that the "growth" of Hakukiwan had stopped, and only half of the facial skin had recovered, while the other half was still peeled off. His gray-brown pupils are still empty, and there is no trace of focus in them, just overflowing with precious tears.
"What's going on?!" Osamu Dazai shouted angrily.
With Yosano Akiko's breath stagnant, there is no way that there is a problem with the omnipotent supernatural ability!
"Hakukimaru!"
Osamu Dazai wanted to touch him, but he didn't dare to let "disqualification in the world" take effect on the opponent.
After the miracle on Baiguimaru paused, he instantly entered the rewind, his skin disappeared, and the growing limbs first lost their muscles, then lost their bones, and returned to the appearance of broken hands and feet.
The step where Akiko Yosano and Yosano were about to use a scalpel to remove the false spine also stopped.
She turned pale in shock.
"..."
The supernatural ability applied to Baiguimaru failed.
From darkness to seeing light, and then sinking into darkness from the dazzling white light, it took only a few tens of seconds. Baiguimaru couldn't experience the complete feeling, but the real feeling at the moment of tears was realized.
【I...have you recovered just now? 】
【Why is it still dark, or the world you see with your heart? ! ! 】
Hakukimaru's stable spirit began to be chaotic and was hit.
Edogawa Ranbu jumped off his chair, rushed over, and looked at the terrifying face. He first covered the impacted eyes, and then said with difficulty.
"It's a power similar to a curse."
"Impossible!"
Osamu Dazai had put his hand on Baikimaru's body, and he didn't care to see his face, trying to expel the negative power that took away his organs from Baikimaru: "My strength can Eliminate all supernatural powers!"
"But——" Edogawa Ranbu raised his head and said, "If it weren't for supernormal powers."
Dazai Osamu lost his voice and his eyes darkened.
This unwilling to face fact was finally revealed, cruel and merciless, which made Baiguimaru become such a person after birth, not a person with supernatural abilities, but an unknown existence.
The power like a "curse" was imprinted on Baiguimaru's body, full of malice.
- Your body cannot be complete.
Baiguimaru felt that his face was being wiped, and he didn't put on the mask. He always stood in front of him avoiding the people who looked directly at his entire face, illuminating the front with the white flame of life.
Such light is not dazzling, soft and harmless.
[Dororo...]
His pupils disappeared from his eye sockets, and the tears he shed proved that his eyes had existed.
[I still can't see you clearly...]
The fractures of the limbs are smooth and flat, and the lost skin is due to the tearing of the muscle layer, and the blood stains the bandages.
The whole body of Baiguiwan was oozing with the hot blood of human beings, trembling quietly and slightly, and it was horribly mutilated. At the same time, it proved how terrible the limit of human endurance is.
Dazai Osamu hugged him and said with his earless hair.
"Don't cry."
"It just didn't work out once."
The boy who remembered the true face of Baiguiwan and saw the ugly face clearly smelled blood, and the white shirt on his upper body was also stained with the other party's blood, which became dirty together. There was no fake face on his face. Smile, flat and indifferent, said in a relaxed way to those who cannot hear.
"Look, the darkness has been blocked by me, and the world can't see it if you can't see it."
In the world of Xinyan.
The youth's flame of life truly blocked the darkness for him.
The boiling demonic power was suppressed, and the crimson light spread all over Baiguimaru's soul, eroding his spirit, and could never pollute the pure white flame of life.
Humans are sometimes fragile, and sometimes they can survive with just a little warmth.
The same is true for Hakugimaru.
He lost the world and got his own "Dororo".
