Chapter 69: Growing up
"I have this plan, but I don't have any inspiration now, and I'm not sure I can write it well. Now I have to find a job that can make a living. And the most important thing is... I haven't got it yet Qualifications to write."
Oda Sakunosuke lowered his eyes and said calmly.
"Oh?" Araki Kūyo opened his eyes slightly in surprise, "Forget about other things, writing does not require qualifications, right?" "
Although there is indeed a threshold for literature, as long as you feel something in your heart and want to leave something behind, , If you want to tell something through words, you don’t need qualifications."
The black-haired boy shook his head in disapproval.
Oda Sakunosuke smiled. He didn't originally plan to talk about himself with strangers, but somehow, he unexpectedly had a good impression of Araki Kuyo. Unknowingly, he also buried the reason why he originally planned to keep it deep in his heart. He said it out: "I have done some very bad things. Before the atonement is completed, I am not qualified to write."
"Atonement? Who judged you? And according to what rules?" Araki asked road.
"I made this decision myself."
"Really... Since it is you who is judging yourself, there is nothing you can do about it."
Araki sighed regretfully, "I quite want to read the novel you wrote. Yeah."
"Hahahaha... If I write it out, I will definitely remember to send you a copy."
Oda Sakunosuke smiled.
"You just said you haven't found a job yet, right?" Araki Kūyo blinked and suddenly thought of something and said.
"That's right." Oda Sakunosuke nodded.
"Then let me introduce you to one. The work is easy, and there is enough time for you to collect materials and come up with plots." Araki Kuyo pulled up Oda Sakunosuke without any doubt.
It wasn't until he got into the car belonging to the Port Mafia that Oda Sakunosuke seemed to react slowly.
Outside of working hours, he was always a bit dazed, but now he didn't realize until he was abducted by Araki Kūyo that he seemed to be from the port mafia.
"What is your relationship with the port mafia?" Oda Sakunosuke looked at Araki Kuyo with his cobalt blue eyes.
When he was a killer, a unified consensus in the underground world was that people in the Port Mafia could not be provoked. No matter it was the crazy ancestor leader or the mysterious current one, once he provoked this behemoth, he would be killed by the Port Mafia who cares about face. Keeping an eye on him is really not worth the gain.
However, Oda Sakunosuke has long since stopped working as a killer. Although recently, job hunting requires academic qualifications and only recruits the best. As a result, Oda Sakunosuke, who has no academic qualifications and only has the ability to kill, has been wandering around for several months without finding a job. , now already short of money.
Of course, Oda Sakunosuke received a lot of remuneration when he was a killer, but for a killer who is precarious and has no expectations for the future, money is something you can spend as much as you earn. Who knows whether he will be betrayed in the next moment? Kill and sleep forever?
But after he made up his mind not to be a killer, Oda Sanosuke realized that he was already short of money. If a kind-hearted curry buyer hadn't taken him in, Oda Sanosuke might have become the first person in history to freeze to death and starve. Dead killer.
If he hadn't met Araki Kuyo today, Oda Sakunosuke, who had few options, would probably have chosen to find a job in the port mafia. At least there were still quite a lot of low-level coolies like corpse pickers.
"Well..." Araki Kūyo tilted his head and thought for a while, and found out from his memory the position Ogai Mori gave when he attracted him, "I am one of the cadres." "Are
you a cadre?"
Oda Sakunosuke asked. When he heard this sentence, his body leaned forward slightly in surprise.
Although Mori Ogai seems to give it to the cadres easily, in Yokohama, the Port Mafia, the oldest underground organization, is a local snake that even the government pinches its nose to seek cooperation, and the cadres are second only to the leader. Big shots and even the next leader will be selected from these five cadres - this is why so many people opposed Mori Ogai's rise to power as a small private doctor, because he did not have cadres. The rationality and legitimacy of the succession.
If Ogai Mori had not used his outstanding skills to win over the colonel cadres, cadre candidates Ozaki Momiji and Rando, as well as Araki Kuyo, who had many supporters, there might have been more twists and turns in his succession.
Oda Sakunosuke rubbed his hair and sighed: "I didn't expect that I would meet a cadre of the Port Mafia... It's really strange." It was not only surprising
that he would meet a cadre, but also the cadre he met He is actually so interested in books.
The job that Araki Kuyo entrusted to Oda Sakunosuke was actually very simple, yes, that was to teach the children - Akutagawa Gin, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and five other children.
Although Araki Kūyo took them in, he was not a human being after all, and he did not know how to teach children. Moreover, these children's dreams were really colorful and needed a foundation to realize them. In this case, it was better to find a tutor to take charge.
When Oda Sakunosuke learned that his job was to take care of children, he was not dissatisfied at all. Rather, he actually liked this job.
Although Oda Sakunosuke still has to take classes from these students, such as culture, but when it comes to knowledge about combat, the vital points of the human body, judging murderous intent, and how to sneak into a place without alerting anyone, no one can compare with Oda Sakunosuke. More familiar.
After all, these things are the basis of his diet. If he does not remember them firmly and put them into practice, then Oda Sakunosuke will not be able to survive the day when he becomes a gold medal killer.
If his previous job was to take the lives of others, then teaching these children is to give them more opportunities for the future - Oda Sakunosuke can feel his soul that was originally immersed in darkness rising upwards. Go, maybe not long after, I can make up my mind to pick up a pen and write the continuation of my life story.
However, not all the children he teaches are so well-behaved and obedient. There are also several thorns among them, but the most difficult one is of course Akutagawa Ryunosuke.
Perhaps due to the influence of wandering, Ryunosuke Akutagawa showed an astonishing possessiveness towards his belongings. His companions, sister, and Araki Kūyo were all included in the scope of his belongings. Therefore, for Oda Sakunosuke and Akutagawa Ryunosuke suddenly appeared around him, showing considerable hostility.
Deliberately playing devil's advocate is already quite a mild method. When it goes too far, Ryunosuke Akutagawa will use his immature but already extremely destructive superpower to attack Oda Sakunosuke's vitals.
Of course, these attacks were blocked by Oda Sakunosuke. After all, he has the ability to predict the future in 5 seconds [seamless], and Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who has just escaped from malnutrition, will naturally not be his opponent.
So what the children saw was the appearance of the troubled dog Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who had always protected them in their wandering life and was feared by many adults, returning without success countless times in front of Oda Sakunosuke.
If it were an ordinary teacher, he would have either been scared away or collapsed under this long-term and unremitting attack, but Oda Sakunosuke's naturally stupid character did not take this seriously at all. As time went by, this group of people in the wandering life The children who had carved Mu Qiang into the grain also accepted Oda Sakunosuke's teachings.
Even Akutagawa Gin, who would pull Ryunosuke Akutagawa in the beginning, was used to it. After his brother bowed politely to Oda Sakunosuke, he suddenly activated his supernatural power to attack Oda Sakunosuke, aiming directly at the aorta in his neck, and Oda Sakunosuke would calmly pick up the pen on the table, stop the soft cloth attached to the supernatural power, and then calmly say to Ryunosuke Akutagawa: "You remember the vital points of the human body very well, but the vital points like the neck Although it looks fragile, it is also the most sensitive part. Your murderous intention has aroused my vigilance before taking action, so this is an unsuccessful experiment."
Only Oda Sakunosuke can explain an attack against himself. It must be an experiment, and after hearing these words, Akutagawa Ryunosuke had a solemn face and said dullly: "...Thank you for your teaching, I will work harder next time."
He said with his black pair His eyes were staring at Oda Sanunosuke fiercely. Although he said words of respect, his expression looked more like he wanted to bite Oda Sanunosuke's throat.
For the first time, Oda Sakunosuke discovered that the knowledge he had learned was also useful. Not to mention other knowledge about killing, the knowledge about the human body and related medical knowledge had benefited the children a lot. After all, in addition to having decided to Except for Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who joined the port mafia, some of the other children have not yet decided on their dreams, while others are yearning for more respectable jobs such as doctors and lawyers.
"Well, keep working hard." Oda Sakunosuke nodded happily and continued to teach these children.
His class time is not very long, and he is specifically responsible for recuperating the bodies of these children who are malnourished and have not exercised much. After him, there is the teacher of the cultural class. It is said that he invited a teacher who once taught a class. A teacher who teaches at a famous aristocratic school. As for why this teacher was reduced to teaching in a violent organization like the Port Mafia, we will not go into details here.
However, children such as Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Oda Sakunosuke all learned a lot from this teacher.
"Will Master Kusai come over today?" Akutagawa Gin asked his brother in a low voice.
Akutagawa Ryunosuke is already working towards the goal of being Araki's future assistant and cadre candidate, so he is also the one among this group of children who knows the most about Araki's schedule.
"Mr. Kuyo won't be here today."
Ryunosuke Akutagawa was also disappointed when he said these words. He also wanted to show Araki Kuyo his progress.
Ever since Dazai Osamu visited Changsheng Village, he seemed to always dream at night, but when he woke up, he could not remember the specific content of the dream. And several times when he woke up, he found that his body was extremely tired and completely out of control. It's like sleeping all night.
However, this situation disappeared without a trace after he stayed with Araki Kuusei for a few days. Dazaiji didn't pay much attention to it - before he met Mori Ogai, he often couldn't sleep. I could only stare at the ceiling with my eyes wide open, counting the circles of the wooden plank pattern on it, until the sunlight on the horizon turned fish-belly white.
Dazai Osamu didn't know that the other guest in his body had gradually awakened from his long sleep with the passage of time and the healing of the Tai Sui fragment.
Let’s call this soul guest the leader Osamu Dazai. He spent countless efforts to create a port mafia leader Dazai Osamu who can allow his friends to write about the world with peace of mind. And he summoned a complete book through the book. The lover who is in line with his own feelings even has the idea of continuing to live for him.
But it is a pity that even if the leader Osamu Dazai had such a plan, those future enemies disrupted his thoughts. His lover was injured by the enemy and disappeared, leaving no trace except the tomb. The leader Osamu Dazai also completely Giving up on living in this world, he completed the plan he had been planning for many years, and then jumped off the roof of the Port Mafia with relief and joy.
The leader, Dazai Osamu, originally thought that death should be the end of everything, meaning that he would no longer have to think, that he would no longer be tortured by his own emotions, and that he would finally have eternal freedom. However, he was vaguely floating in a white light, originally light and airy. His body floated with the current until he seemed to hit something. As soon as his body (or soul?) sank, even this last bit of feeling completely disappeared.
Before sinking completely, the leader Dazai Osamu struggled to open his eyes and tried to distinguish something, but he only had time to take a quick glance, and then he was forced into the boundless darkness.
But from that quick glance, the leader Dazai Osamu clearly saw that the scene before him was familiar yet unfamiliar. It was a scenery that he had not seen for at least ten years and belonged to the Tsushima mansion in his hometown, Aomori Prefecture.
The leader, Dazai Osamu, fell into a long slumber, but occasionally he would wake up from his slumber and hear voices coming from the outside world. The voices were so familiar that he couldn't help but think about them.
Until the young Osamu Dazai wandered to Yokohama and was picked up by Ogai Mori and brought to the Port Mafia. When the young Osamu Dazai saw Araki Kuyo appear, he felt the existence of Araki Kuyo in the form of his soul. Leader Dazai Osamu once again Wake up from that dark ocean of consciousness.
This time he was not only able to hear sounds from the outside world, he was also able to share vision with the young Osamu Dazai without him noticing. Although other senses, such as taste, smell and touch, were still insensible, hearing and Vision can also allow the leader Osamu Dazai to determine many things.
At this time, it was time for me to follow Mori Ogai and be taught and monitored in the name of a student.
Nothing has happened yet, Oda Sakunosuke is not dead yet, and Mori Ogai has not yet taken control of the Port Mafia.
The leader Osamu Dazai felt despairing and exhausted for a moment. Did the world he finally built just disappear?
But soon, when he realized that he could not control his body and could only passively follow the owner of the body to see and listen, the leader Dazai Osamu quickly realized that there were two 'Dazai Osamu' in this world.
One is the true self who can freely control this body, and the other is himself who somehow exists in this body as soul ideology.
This is indeed a ridiculous and horrifying thing to think about, because the leader Dazai Osamu can be sure that he is not the second personality of 'Dazai Osamu' due to delusions.
This situation is very similar to the rebirth and time travel described in some novels, except that after the leader Dazai Osamu was reborn, he inhabited his past self in the ghost state of his second personality.
What on earth is this? Could it be that God allowed him to live again just to watch his past self walk that unchangeable destiny route again?
The leader Osamu Dazai was almost in despair and depression. He just wanted to sink into the dark sea of consciousness and never wake up again.
But soon, the leader Dazai Osamu suddenly realized something, that is, his lover Araki Kuyo appeared at this time, and he was still an outside consultant.
This was different from the two world lines he knew. This difference gave the leader Dazai Osamu new hope.
Perhaps God allowed him to come back again in order to make up for his exhaustion and allow him to see a world in which everyone can be happy in the true sense.
——This is what the leader Osamu Dazai originally thought until the young boy Dazai Osamu inhabited his body fell in love with Araki Kuyo at first sight and started a passionate pursuit.
etc? ! Is this going too fast? !
The soul of the leader Dazai Osamu bounced violently in the sea of consciousness of the body. If a psychic, medium, or onmyoji who is good at detecting souls sees it, he will find that Dazai Osamu's soul is in a ball, as round and transparent as a jellyfish. The shape, the surface flashes with radiance as bright as a star, and when he wakes up from sleep, the radiance of consciousness will become brighter and brighter.
Dazai Osamu had to admit that Araki Kūyo was a person who excelled in his own aesthetics. He also knew that his young self would probably have a great fondness for Araki Kūyo, but no matter what, this boy had just met Araki Kūyo. Noodles? How can you make up your mind to pursue someone? This is so frivolous! Araki Kuyo will never agree!
Because of the irresistible drowsiness that appeared from time to time, the leader Dazai Osamu missed a lot of information, such as the real face-to-face meeting between the young Dazai Osamu and Araki Kūyo, the complex light revealed by the black-haired boy when he looked at the young Dazai Osamu, and The young Dazai Osamu had made great ambitions to completely drive away the "white moonlight" in Araki Kusai's heart and occupy the best position for himself.
The leader Dazai Osamu only stayed awake for a short period of time, but for some reason, it seemed that since the young Dazai Osamu and Araki Kūyo visited the Immortality Village, the leader Dazai Osamu could stay awake for more and more time, and even When the body's consciousness fell into sleep at night, he was able to bring his own consciousness to the surface and control the body.
But no matter what, even if it was an existence named 'Osama Dazai', when the leader Dazai Osamu brought his consciousness to the surface, he quickly realized that he was indeed dead, because of the heaviness he felt when controlling his body. It was several times heavier than I remembered, and even the movement of my fingers was extremely stiff and very slow.
It is precisely for this reason that when the leader Osamu Dazai was able to control his body, his first action was to practice the proficiency in controlling his body. And because of this, the young Osamu Dazai felt that the quality of his sleep was not good.
After all, the leader Osamu Dazai has experienced more than the young Osamu Dazai, and has seen more scenes and characters. For some unknown reason, he did not inform the other owner of his body of his existence, but quietly During the night, he contacted and controlled the body while searching for memory information that had not been grasped during the day.
The memories of the leader Dazai Osamu and the boy Dazai Osamu cannot be connected, so what the boy Dazai Osamu did during the day when he was sleeping, the leader Dazai Osamu also has no idea. He can only use some fragments of time at night to follow his own instructions 'Has a habit of rummaging through things on the table and then infers his actions during the day.
Such as the newly purchased microscope, which must be to laugh at the dark dwarf, making him look like an ultra-thin slug that can only be found with a microscope, and the documents piled in the corner, which must have been given by Ogai Mori. The homework and tasks he assigned - it seems that Mori Ogai in this world has indeed followed the same old path, maximizing interests and seeking the optimal solution.
The leader Dazai Osamu's eyes fell on the ledger carefully hidden by the young Dazai Osamu - this ledger was not big and was very secretive. If the leader Dazai Osamu was not 'Dazai Osamu', maybe he would not know it at all. I discovered that there is such a thing.
He opened the ledger and felt no guilt at all about prying into other people's privacy - the leader Dazai Osamu was also 'Dazai Osamu', so what's the problem with looking at his own ledger?
There are not many things in the ledger. After flipping through a few pages, I only saw the handwriting of the young Dazai Osamu, which said, "Today Kusai gave me a ledger as a return gift. In order not to waste his kindness, I Decide to write something."
Young Dazai Osamu also kept his promise. Although he only wrote a few lines every day, three lines at most and one line at least, he still persisted.
What was written in it did not involve Osamu Dazai's life experience and family secrets. This was a secret that Osamu Dazai never wanted to leak.
Of course, the Port Mafia is not that rigorous. The leader Osamu Dazai also saw that he complained about the personalities and weaknesses of various cadres in his handbook, and I don’t know how he discovered it.
The most written one was about Araki Kūyo. The love words written in it made the leader Dazai Osamu feel his teeth sore when he saw them. However, the enthusiasm and love bursting out from the handwriting also made him flinch and feel slightly sad. .
The leader, Dazai Osamu, asked himself, can he completely dedicate a complete and passionate heart to Araki Kūyo like his young self?
Even if he wanted to, he probably wouldn't be able to do it.
He was already bruised and exhausted, so he could only sit by the fire, not daring to get close to the too warm flame.
Chapter 70:
This feeling of growing up may be more appropriately described as feeling ashamed of oneself.
Because when he was young, he still had unlimited hopes and possibilities, and dedicated his love and enthusiasm to his sweetheart. However, the leader, Dazai Osamu, had long been vicissitudes of life and tired, and might not be able to give Araki the passionate love he wanted.
Moreover, this body originally belonged to the young Dazai Osamu, and the leader Dazai Osamu was just an outsider, a sojourner that no one knew about.
Such thoughts made the leader Dazai Osamu hide in the sea of consciousness of the young Dazai Osamu, immersed in the boundless lethargy.
Until the leader Osamu Dazai discovered that his young self was investigating the origins of Araki Kuyo.
It doesn’t seem strange that any character appears in Yokohama. Even Dazai Osamu himself hides a bunch of secrets that he doesn’t want others to know. Maybe others won’t think anything of it when the secrets are exposed, but for Dazai Osamu, It's a secret that no one wants to know.
The leader Dazai Osamu's heart sank, but he had to admit that he was indeed curious. If the Araki Kuyo of his world was summoned through the artifact of 'book', then this one is obviously larger than 'Dazai Osamu' What could be the origin of the cadre Araki Kūse?
Could it be that the 'Araki Kuyo' that he summoned was summoned from this world?
The leader Dazai Osamu is just a resident of this body. He cannot stop what he wants to do for the time being. However, during the period of Dazai Osamu's investigation, the leader Dazai Osamu has been working hard to maintain his consciousness.
After all, Dazai Osamu is Mori Ogai's most favored disciple, and he is also a witness to Mori Ogai's ascendance to the position of leader of the Port Mafia. Although his status has not been promoted, in the eyes of some members, he can be described as a blazing man. Hot, there are countless people who fawn over him. If it weren't for Dazai Osamu's character being too weird and awkward, which makes people intimidating, there would probably be even more people around him.
And if Dazai Osamu himself transfers some information from the intelligence department, as long as it does not involve confidentiality, no one will stop him.
After Osamu Dazai and Kuyo Araki experienced what happened in Changsheng Village, they were vaguely aware of the weirdness of Kuyo Araki.
How did he escape from that Tai Sui's mouth, and how did he make that Tai Sui die completely?
Not only that, because he had been watching Araki Kuyo, Osamu Dazai suddenly found that the black-haired cadre was even more attractive than before. If his original beauty seemed to be shrouded in a hazy veil, then his charm at this moment is Even that layer of gauze can't cover it up.
However, this did not stop Araki Kuyo from going out. Even if there were more eyes on him, it would not make much difference to him.
Dazai Osamu was fascinated by the astonishing but bewitching beauty and charm. While he noticed the strange beating of his heart, he also vaguely realized that the black-haired cadre he fell in love with at first sight may have an unknown origin.
Out of curiosity, he wanted to get closer. Dazai Osamu followed the traces of Araki Kūyo's appearance. He knew that Araki Kūyo had once served as the "New God" in Leibo Street, and he also knew that Araki Kūyo was tired of being served in On the throne of God, he took the initiative to leave.
He is like a star in the night sky, attracting attention and admiration wherever he goes.
But what about moving forward?
Before Araki Kūyo 'occupied' Leibo Street, it was a mystery where he lived, where his hometown was, and who his relatives and friends were.
Osamu Dazai wanted to know everything about Araki Kūyo, especially who Araki Kūyo was looking at through him.
This may be the feeling called jealousy. When he realized that the black water of bitterness was surging in his heart, Dazai Osamu himself was shocked. After all, he has never been interested in human beings, especially the love that human beings sing about. , justice and nobility, Dazai Osamu believes that this is just a huge lie told by human beings to deceive.
Osamu Dazai has never seen the love that only cares about one another, the justice that makes everyone satisfied and happy, and the nobility of self-sacrifice for others, so he doesn't believe in their existence.
How would you describe the sun to someone deep in darkness? It's the same thing.
But even if people in the darkness see the sun, they will probably only be burned by it.
Dazai Osamu stood at the edge of Raibo Street. This place was no longer the dilapidated and depressed ruins before. It was a huge circular hole sunk deeply into the ground. There were already many unique buildings standing there, and there were many more that could be seen. Tourists wander curiously inside.
Leibo Street was once a paradise for sects and idlers. If a robber or thief committed a crime and escaped into Leibo Street, even the police would not dare to enter at will.
Now it has become a paradise in the literal sense, and you can even encounter some New Theistic believers who still have not given up, preaching to passing tourists, and selling some exceptionally beautifully drawn peripherals, such as badges, fans, and notes. Ben and stuff like that.
Dazai Osamu counted them on the side and found that they were still selling well, probably because these peripheral products were indeed very designed.
Not only that, as you go deeper inside, you can see many artists excitedly splashing paint on their drawing boards on the open-air balcony, looking extremely excited, and from time to time they will let out hoarse and eerie cheers: " Ah! I can't stop being inspired!"
Leibo Street, which once caused headaches for the government and people, has completely transformed into a must-visit attraction and a unique town full of artistic atmosphere.
Although this was not Araki Kuyo's original intention, it was indeed him who brought all this.
Although all the money earned has been saved by believers, they still have the idea that the new god will appear again and do not allow anyone to use this part of the money. However, it is said that the amount of this part of the money after being converted into gold is quite considerable. , For this reason, it has also attracted the covetousness of many Yokohama underground organizations, religious groups and private mercenaries.
However, the current believers who are former residents of Leibo Street are not efficient. In addition, because of the major changes in Leibo Street, the government also plans to share the results, so there are more police forces around. If Araki is empty If Sai Zai doesn't appear, in a few years, the government will be able to smoothly take over Raibo Street, turn it into a must-see tourist attraction in Yokohama, and then earn taxes.
Dazai Osamu could not find the origin of Araki Kūyo here. The believers here are quite fanatical. Although there are no problems with their conversation and etiquette, once they met Araki Kūyo, they became so fanatical that Dazai Osamu even retreated.
However, this did not trouble Dazai Osamu. Since the information could not be found in Leibo Street, then searching the official internal files might be able to find some interesting things.
Dazai Osamu looked at the new Leibo Street, which was illuminated like gold and silver under the clear sky, and quietly walked into the shadow of the alley.
In Yokohama, everything is flourishing. Not only the Port Mafia needs to attract new blood, but also the official organization's Special Agents Division. However, after all, the Special Agents Division is just a too young department. If it weren't for the tough tactics of Farming Mountain Head Fire, there are still hidden secrets behind it. With unknown backers, I am afraid that these superpowers who join the superpower special agent department will eventually end up working as bodyguards for leaders of other departments.
As for the government, it’s even simpler. Even after the war was defeated and a group of politicians were replaced, the power was actually still in the hands of these big names. They just changed a spokesperson on the surface. Dazai Osamu felt from the bottom of his heart that as long as As long as these politicians control votes and power, the country will not get better.
But it is undeniable that the power they possess is more powerful. Even Dazai Osamu sometimes browses official information files to obtain information.
Dazai Osamu mentally wandered around the two more powerful official organizations, and finally decided to investigate behind the scenes of the government.
Osamu Dazai's intelligence search was not so smooth at first. After all, the entire population of Yokohama was stored in the file. To find a specific person among hundreds of thousands of people would not only take effort, but also patience.
Dazai Osamu browsed for a while and felt that the efficiency was too low. He changed his mind and searched for keywords - perhaps someone as eye-catching as Araki Kūyo should be looked for from another aspect, and in the same way The charm of Kūyo Araki is probably often associated with some rare supernatural cases.
The case that Kudo Yusaku asked an acquaintance to suppress was just revealed by Osamu Dazai.
"Huh? The gangster kidnapping incident?" Osamu Dazai clicked on the page and read it carefully.
There is nothing more written on it, it simply records that the gangsters kidnapped a child and prepared to sacrifice it to the evil god. Fortunately, the police arrived in time and saved the poor child from the gangsters' persecution. out.
Dazai Osamu, who has been dealing with the police under Mori Ogai for a long time, does not believe that the police can be so responsible and timely. Whether it is intuition or experience, Dazai Osamu tells him that there is something wrong with this case.
Even the written narrative is full of the desire to put this case in the dusty bottom of the box as soon as possible without anyone knowing about it.
It's easy to know the truth. Dazai Osamu wrote down the name of the person who wrote the transcript on the file and prepared to search for it according to the picture.
Even though Kudo Yusaku does have a wide network of contacts, and many people are willing to give him a favor, the Port Mafia is the local snake in Yokohama. Dazai Osamu just revealed his identity, and kindly and gently stated that he just wanted to understand this case. Details, holding a thick brown envelope in one hand and putting the other hand in his pocket - the police who came to the door for questioning knew that this was Dazai Osamu's threat and advice.
If he tells the truth, he will be able to gain the 'friendship' and 'sympathy' of the members of the Port Mafia, but if he is disobedient and insists on going against the Port Mafia, then all he will get is a cold shot. .
This was not a difficult choice, especially when Dazai Osamu accidentally shook the brown envelope bag in his hand, revealing the banknotes still smelling of ink. The not-so-rich policeman became dejected. The ground gave up its resistance.
How could he resist? Sometimes the government and the police even use the power of the Port Mafia to drive away the foreign organizations entrenched in Yokohama. Even though they all know that this is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, even if they know that this will only increase the arrogance of the Port Mafia, they still Nothing can be done.
"...That was the most bizarre and terrifying scene I have ever seen."
It was easy to continue after the words started.
The policeman looked shocked as he recalled the scene he saw.
"In the abandoned church, the child was lying on the altar circle painted with blood. Light fell from the dusty stained glass on the dome, but except for this child, we did not find anyone else." He paused
. After a pause, he hesitantly modified his statement: "No, maybe there are, but they are no longer in this world." "
There are some fallen clothes and dust on the ground, which are neatly visited, as if they were The owner was still standing there not long ago..."
"This is nothing. When we untied the child's ropes and restraints, do you know, what was the first thing he said?"
This policeman actually did not Needing a reply from Osamu Dazai, he was just taking this opportunity to express his fears and confusion: "The kid said, 'Give me a pen and paper! I want to draw!'" "
But we didn't take his words to heart. Instead, the ambulance sent him to the hospital for examination. Looking back now, we don’t know what he saw that made him want to draw that scene. The senior who took me before said that maybe it was some kind of extraordinary Beautiful creatures, in such a scene, the altar of blood and the fear of imminent death, so that the child was shocked by the overly beautiful creatures, causing him to become mentally unstable." "
-But, on the altar of the criminals , in front of a child who is about to be sacrificed, what could be an overly beautiful creature that could turn so many criminals into ashes in an instant?" The
policeman said with a voice like As if he was swallowed by fear, he became smaller and smaller. It was obvious that the horror and weirdness he experienced at the scene he saw at that time made him remember it until today, and it was only today that he had the opportunity to express his feelings at that time. .
They all knew very well that the gangster's magic circle was successful, and they summoned something that no one knew about, but no one proposed to find the summoned unknown object.
After finishing speaking, he looked very tired, his body was covered with cold sweat, and he had aged many years: "Sir, I have told you everything I know. We all know that something comes through the altar. In this world, Yokohama has not heard of any large-scale deaths - except for gang fights. Maybe He has already gone back, so we don't have to worry too much." He laughed twice as he said that
. Osamu Dazai did not smile, he looked thoughtful.
"Are evil gods the only option summoned by criminals?"
"If it's not evil gods, it can't be those good gods, right?"
The policeman blurted out these words.
Dazai Osamu had no more questions to ask. He pushed the brown leather envelope bag over and said politely with a smile: "Thank you for your hospitality today. This is a small gesture. Please accept it."
After saying this, , Dazai Osamu ignored the policeman who hurriedly opened the envelope and counted the bills inside, and strode out of the house.
Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Shinichi, Osamu Dazai chewed the names of these two parties in his heart.
However, Kudo Shinichi and Kudo Yusaku have already returned to Tokyo. Moreover, Kudo Yusaku has a good relationship with people in the police and political circles, and is not someone who can be easily moved. Even if Dazai Osamu is bold, after he learns that Kudo Yusaku has brought After his wife and children went to Hawaii for vacation, they also knew that this piece of information might not be available immediately.
In a nutshell, the Port Mafia is really poor now.
Some people may say, isn’t the Port Mafia the biggest local gangster in Yokohama? How could you still be poor?
But guns and weapons require money, hiring people requires money, wooing cadres also requires money, and injured lower-level members also need medicine and food. However, there is a famine in the country, and rice prices have doubled. There are also many unscrupulous businessmen taking advantage of the rising rice prices to manipulate the grain market - as for why the government doesn't care? The chaebols hiding behind the government are the masterminds behind manipulating food prices.
Of course, when they have made enough money, they may touch their conscience, which is so small that they are almost invisible, recalling the people who could not afford to eat and were laid off in large numbers, and try to lower the prices a little bit like a charity to avoid these things. If the leeks are really starved to death, then they will not be able to cut them for the second, third, or even more times.
For the port mafia to maintain its operations now, some money is essential. Even Mori Ogai sometimes has to collect a little money from public accounts to maintain his livelihood. Dazai Osamu cannot spend a large amount of money for his own private affairs. Qian Qian ran to Hawaii to find Kudo and his son who didn't know where they were.
But fortunately, even if the person involved could not be found, Dazai Osamu had other clues.
After all, Kudo Yusaku is an internationally renowned writer, and many people in his country are proud of him and regard him as an idol who brought glory to the country. Therefore, no matter how careful Kudo Yusaku is, he still leaves behind when he goes to sea in the early morning. traces.
People in the city were indeed asleep at that time, but there were no fishing boats ready to go out to sea for fishing. Especially recently, fishing boats are equipped with telescopes, which can easily see fish schools dozens of nautical miles away. So when you see someone coming from It is easy to throw something off the yacht.
But so much time has passed, it is impossible for the things to remain where they are. Perhaps they have been washed away by the waves and currents. Just when Dazai Osamu sighed, scratched his hair, and planned to look for clues again. At this time, the fisherman he was questioning rubbed his hands and came up, and whispered: "Actually, after seeing Mr. Kudo, we also sailed over to have a look, and then fished up the things he threw down."
Dazai Osamu raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "Oh? What did you catch?"
The fishermen took Dazai Osamu to the cabin. There was a rusty safe sitting inside, with a cushion on it. It seems to be a convenient place for the crew to sit when they go out to sea.
"Here, that's it. We tried many ways but couldn't pry it open, but we managed to fish it out. We just threw it back and couldn't bear to part with it. In the end, we had to use it as a seat."
The fisherman said sheepishly. He smiled, put his thumb and index finger together and made a rubbing motion: "I think you are a discerning person. Maybe there is some treasure map or secret hidden in it. Please give me a price." Right? Don't worry! I won't ask for too much, as long as this amount is enough!"
"This is not a treasure map." Osamu Dazai spread his hands and said lazily: "The ones here are probably some paintings. Right."
"Some paintings?" The fisherman who spent a lot of effort to pull out the safe from the sunken sand at the bottom of the sea looked at Dazai Osamu suspiciously, "It's just some paintings, then why did Mr. Kudo sneak out to sea in the early morning and put it out? Throw things away?"
"Because he is eager to get rid of the terrible monster locked in this safe."
Osamu Dazai stroked the expensive safe with his fingers and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"He was quite hesitant, but he forced himself to remain calm. The situation was too urgent. Kudo Yusaku subconsciously chose this safe so that no one would have the chance to open it again - in order to allow himself Only by restraining this desire did Kudo Yusaku choose to throw the safe into the sea."
The fisherman swallowed his saliva and laughed dryly: "Oh, this gentleman really knows how to joke. Is it possible that there is a monster in the safe?"
Although he said so, his feet still quietly stepped back.
"This style of safe is specially designed. Except for the owner who knows the password, no one else can open it. If you try to use a tool to force it open, the contents inside and the safe will be destroyed together." And
no matter what, Both the exterior and the paint materials are very luxurious, and the cost alone is worth millions.
However, Osamu Dazai did not inform the fishermen of the price of the safe, lest the other party would transfer their greed from the contents of the safe to the safe itself - although he brought his own black card and the stolen Nakahara Chuuya's It’s a black card, but there are tricks to buying things.
But Osamu Dazai was not stingy enough to not pay a penny. When he heard that the safe would be damaged if he used tools to force it open, the fisherman showed a guilty expression. I am afraid that before Dazai Osamu came to find him, he had already tried it with the tools. , but the tool he used was not strong enough and hard enough, so it probably did not trigger the internal protection device of the safe.
Dazai Osamu successfully took the safe from the fisherman - of course, he used Nakahara Chuuya's card.
But even if you get the safe, it still takes a lot of effort to get the contents inside.
Dazai Osamu moved his wrist and showed an eager expression on the safe - although he had opened the lock, he rarely opened the safe.
Kudo Yusaku is not the kind of person who uses the birthdays of his wife and children as passwords. If he throws away things in this way, he will definitely set a password that ordinary people can't think of. In this way, even if someone accidentally takes the safe came out and couldn't open it.
If Osamu Dazai is familiar with the Kudo family, there may be clues to guess it, but Osamu Dazai also has his own method - he presses his ear tightly against the door of the safe, gently turns the handle on it with his hand, and holds his breath. Listening to the sound of gears turning inside, he slowly tried out the passwords one by one.
