Mr. Choo and Hei Shijae

After that not-so-pleasant conversation, Dazai hadn't seen Shu for several days.I don't know if it's because of his sudden turn of events, or because Qiu has other things to be busy with.

Emotionally, he would rather be the former, so that he doesn't have to think about what Mr. Qiu's purpose is, but reason tells him that the latter is more likely.

During this time he did not try to call Mr. Qiu, nor threatened him with suicide.

The reason is simple, he is also busy: the investigation of the black explosion, the investigation of "Araba Spit", the investigation of the former leader, and the battle with the GSS occupy Dazai's idle time.

What's more, Zhongya that explodes at one point is really a good toy, and making Zhongye deflated has become his recent hobby.

Dazai deliberately wiped the name "Aki" and his gentle gaze out of his head, although the effect was not satisfactory - the supernatural power of "Nothingness" is too foul, especially its owner is Mr. Aki!

It wasn't long before I got along with Mr. Qiu, and I had the illusion that he would be by my side at any time.Is there really anyone in the world who can resist this feeling?

Dazai was quite skeptical.

Regardless, it's more practical to find a way to toss the annoying Zhong, anyway, Mr. Mori's errands are almost over.

So, when Aki Takeshita finished his business with Mori Ogai, what he saw was Dazai busy in a building.

An abandoned reception room, with a deep red carpet on the floor, ribbons and gorgeous decorations on the walls, a huge multi-layered cake on the dining table, banquet lights from the top, and various colors switching back and forth.

"The perfect 'Chuya-kun, congratulations on being released, thank you for your hard work' party! If he knew that we held such a grand party to celebrate his freedom, he would be moved to tears."

Dazai said this to Randou who was setting up the venue together.

Lan Tang, a quasi-cadre of the port mafia, looks reserved and honest.

The corner of his mouth twitched: "That... after ordinary people are welcomed like this, I think he will say 'kill you'..."

In fact, the front of the so-called big cake is a trap.If you step on it, you will fall downstairs, and your body will be entangled in a pool of mud. While struggling, more than [-] kilograms of wheat flour will fall on your head. The wheat flour is too small to be stopped by gravity-completely aimed at the Central Plains In the design of the gravity ability, he will end up having to open his mouth awkwardly in the mud to prevent himself from suffocating.

Takeshita Akira: Mr. Dazai, as expected of you.

Because Dazai had too many coquettish operations, he forgot about this one.He thought about it, did Mr. Zhongyuan get the trick in the end?Does he want a forewarning?

Akira Takeshita was still thinking about it, but the next development was beyond his expectation.

Dazai revealed Lantang's identity—the culprit of the incident they were investigating, the behind-the-scenes driving force behind the three incidents of the black explosion, Huang Batu, and the former leader of Hong Kong black.

Dazai smiled and analyzed Rantang's mistakes.

This scene rose from Takeshita Aki's mind, overlapping with a scene deep in his memory.

Years ago, he had indeed witnessed this conversation take place in the void.

Then next...

fighting.

Dazai's well-prepared trap for Zhongya was useless, and they fell into a bitter battle with Lan Tang.

When Osamu Dazai and Chuya Nakahara joined forces to fight, Aki Takeshita quietly hid in nothingness.

Even if he can predict what will happen next, he can't kill Lan Tang in advance to prevent this battle.

He has many reasons for not intervening:

Because this is the first real joint battle of the "Double Blacks", and they will fight side by side on the verge of life and death countless times in the future;

Because Lantang is the awakener of "Huang Ba Tu" and the direct cause of Zhongye's awakening as the carrier of Huang Ba Tu, and he will confide this secret to the two teenagers before he dies;

Because it was this battle that made Osamu Dazai decide to allow Mori Ogai to join the Mafia so that he could observe "death" as part of "life";

because……

They don't need him at all.

The trajectory of the world should be like this. Aki Takeshita is not a willful person, he dare not interfere with all this at will.

However, when the blood splashed out from the boy's deep wound, Aki Takeshita strongly regretted it, and the pain gripped his heart hard.

Go fuck Lantang, go fuck the leader of the first generation.

It should have been killed long ago!

Osamu Dazai was too smart, he thought of a way to deal with it the moment he was injured, and predicted all Lantang's actions in his whisper to Chuya Nakahara.

Naturally, they defeated Lan Tang in an old-fashioned counterattack.

Lying in a pool of blood, Lan Tang uttered his last words weakly and intermittently: "Mr. Zhongye, can I ask you one thing?"

"what?"

"Live on. Who you are and where you came from is no longer known. However, even if it is just a decoration on the surface of power, you are you, and nothing will change... After all, all human beings and all lives are It's the brain and the flesh-body, it's the decoration of the material world that includes both...it's just, that beautiful decoration..."

Even if you were born as a barrier of power, your personality is not a vassal of power, you are a unique human being, and you are Chuya of the Central Plains.

Central Plains Zhong also stood still, silent for a long time.

After Lan Tang died, the teenagers stared at his corpse, speechless for a while.

Both of them were seriously injured in this battle.

Dazai's wound ran through his chest horizontally, and the incision reached his upper arm, and his chest was dark red; not to mention Nakahara Chu, who was the main force in the battle, was covered in injuries.

Dazai felt dizzy due to excessive blood loss, turned around and found a young man standing quietly behind them.

The young man had no expression on his face, and his expression was extremely ugly.The hand hanging by his side was clenched into a fist, and even trembled slightly due to excessive force, as if he was enduring something.

"Yo, Mr. Qiu."

Dazai greeted lightly, "I thought you weren't here."

Aki Takeshita didn't answer, didn't say that he was there all the time.

"Mr. Qiu?"

Nakahara also greeted him with a heavy breath.

"Yeah." Aki Takeshita was silent for a moment, and finally found what he should say, "You two did a great job. Wonderful battle."

"It's just so-so."

"Thanks."

Both voices answered simultaneously.

No one asked Takeshita Qiu why he didn't make a move just now, even though they all knew how powerful he was.

And Dazai swayed under the eyes of Akira Takeshita.He wasn't hurt as badly as Zhongyuan Zhongye, but he looked weak.

The clothes and flesh on his chest were torn by the knife point, and the blood that flowed out from there fell to the ground and hit Takeshita Qiu's heart.

Takeshita Qiu couldn't help reaching out to help him.

When Aki Takeshita touched him with his fingertips, Dazai rolled his eyes and passed out.Takeshita Aki took his fallen body into his arms and hugged him horizontally.

He moved very lightly, and the pain in his eyes almost overflowed.

Ever since he saw Dazai's body shaking, Nakahara felt something was wrong.

It's just a mere knife, as for it?

And when his partner, who was alive and well just now, lay peacefully in the arms of the young man, Zhong Yuanzhong's expression became even more distorted.

...... I really have you, Dazai.
