Mori Ogai smiled calmly, "Shuyi, your weakness is too obvious."

The man leaned lazily on the huge gift box, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Dun.

What would you do?

Will you escape?

Lucy looked at Dun, the excitement on her face gradually faded, and the smile on her lips became strange.

He lowered his head and smiled softly, "I heard that you are an orphan. I also grew up in an orphanage, but it was a very cold place. Wet a rag with ice-cold water and work for a day. Your fingers will ache for several days."

Her fingertips stroked Annie's chin, "Plus, my ability is like this, and everyone dislikes me."

"When you were captured by the mafia, the detective agency seemed to be desperately looking for you."

"Even Fitzgerald's target is trying hard to protect you. It's really enviable and jealous."

"That's great, it must be because of the awesome supernatural powers."

Atsushi opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Lucy.

"I was picked up by the group because I have superpowers." The girl's tone gradually dropped, with a look of embarrassed inferiority, and she seemed to be pretending something.

"But failure is not allowed in a group. If we fail in this operation, I will be thrown away like a dirty tissue. Then I will become a human being again."

Lucy suddenly turned around, the girl's expression was hideous and distorted.

"Hey, why you?"

“They are all orphans.”

"Why can't it be me?"

"Why can't I be the one who is protected and cherished?"

"It's so unfair."

"You should feel how I feel...stay in this room forever!!!"

Lucy's voice became louder and louder, like a wild animal roaring and growling ferociously.

As her voice fell, Annie opened her arms and ran quickly towards Dun.

The latter could only flee in embarrassment. Dun looked at the key floating in the air and gritted his teeth.

The only solution was to put the key in the lock of that door.

Dun stopped walking, braked suddenly among the gift boxes, and threw a few gift boxes at them. Although they did not hit Annie, the time the latter took to dodge was enough for Dun to escape from her sight briefly.

Dun rushed to the door of the small dark room as fast as he could, and the key was in his hand without him noticing.

"Great! We won!!!"

Just when Dun was about to insert the key into the keyhole, the metal key suddenly stretched infinitely like magic.

Then it smoothly turned into a soft column, turned a corner and rushed towards Dun, who was unable to dodge and scratched his right cheek.

Dun covered his face in pain, and the key was thrown far away.

The key slipped to the ground and landed at the girl's feet.

Lucy covered her mouth and laughed, "Ala, it's obviously such an important key."

She picked up the key with a smile. Atsushi growled at the door, "Didn't you say that if you use the key to open the door, you win?!"

A smile appeared on Lucy's face and she nodded, "Yes, provided it can be opened."

He held the key in his hand. It was clearly a mindless metal object, but at this moment it was grinning like a human. The entire key was twisted into a strange shape, like a joke played by hell.

"I don't understand how to use this key either~"

Dun stood there in a daze, filled with fear and terror. Although he was standing outside the door, he seemed to have sensed the loneliness and desolation in the small dark room.

There was no way to win from the beginning. The key had no way of opening the door.

Lucy laughed wildly, and Annie behind her also magnified countless times, appearing in front of people in a ghostly posture.

"From now on, the real game begins. Although you seem to be a genius at hide-and-seek, can you hold on for a few minutes in this situation?"

Facing Annie's attack, Dun could only dodge awkwardly again and again, just like Jie Shuyi before.

Although Khatun had greater strength and speed with the help of his special powers, he still had no way to open the door, nor could he hold on.

The intensive and rapid attacks again and again finally exposed Dun's weakness when he was dodging. A ribbon suddenly appeared in front of him, and Dun had no time to dodge, and his head was stuck on it.

As the ribbon broke, Dun fell into the gift box in a mess.

He lay there gasping for breath, but Lucy would not give him time to rest.

Annie was already floating right above him, with her arms open, waiting for her prey to fall into her warm embrace.

Dun was panting with exhaustion, mentally collapsed by the excitement of the chase.

"Without a countermeasure, I will be caught sooner or later. In this case, reversal of occupation is impossible for me."

His eyes shrank sharply in fear.

"Yes, Shu Yi-san also told me not to fight with her and let me escape."

"I can't even beat Jie Shuyi, so there's no way I can beat her."

He suddenly stood up, dodged Annie's attack, and ran towards the other side door quickly and fiercely.

"We can only rely on Mr. Dazai and the others."

Lucy turned back in disbelief, "Are you going to abandon your friends and run away?"

Dun was so nervous from lack of oxygen that he couldn't hear anything.

"In this situation, Mr. Dazai will definitely be able to think of a solution. But I can't... I'm sorry... I'm sorry! Xie Shuyi..."

The door for escape was within reach, and just as Dun was about to grasp the handle, a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed his collar.

"No, young man~" Mori Ogai smiled, "The enemy is there. I don't recommend you to run away in this situation."

......

Xie Shuyi couldn't describe how he felt now.

It was as if drowning in the deep sea, under the dual oppression of pressure and death, or as if already dead, the soul floated out of the body so easily, so freely, without a trace of restraint.

He could feel that he was in a dream and had fallen into a deep sleep, but he was craving for this feeling.

I am craving for the quietness in a deserted place, I am craving for the freedom of the moment, I am craving for the feeling of being close to the edge of death.

The dark scene around him suddenly changed, and a dazzling and shining light hit his face.

Xie Shuyi couldn't open his eyes for a moment. When he could vaguely see everything in front of him, he felt his heartbeat stop for a moment. The memories in his bones stung him, and he felt pain all over his body.

In the empty ward, the bed and all the equipment were there safely and soundly, working as usual day after day for more than ten years.

Behind a thin layer of isolation gauze are countless bottles and jars, all filled with organs from the same person.

Xie Shuyi turned around and wanted to escape, but the scene in front of him seemed to be forced to play and could not leave his eyes.

When he saw that scene again, a little person was sitting on the hospital bed, swinging his legs leisurely.

The moment he looked into Jie Shuyi's eyes, the child showed a nasty smile and looked at Jie Shuyi up and down with a scrutinizing look.

"Huh? Have you become so weak now?"

Xie Shuyi frowned in bewilderment, he couldn't see the child's face clearly. He could clearly see the eyes, nose and mouth, but when they were closed, he just couldn't see the child's face clearly.

"Who...Who are you?"

The child looked at him with a smile, "You can't be so weak."

He produced a black notebook from somewhere, and the child shook the notebook in his hand, and he smiled.

"Don't remember?"

"Then let me help you recall."
