After healing the old wounds and scars on his body for Osamu Dazai, Reo Tsushima, who had exhausted too much energy, fell into a deep sleep.

Dazai Osamu stroked his skin that had become clean again, and after thinking about it for a moment, he wrapped the bandage back again.

The snow-white bandages covered the newborn white skin round after round, and the look in Dazai Osamu's eyes became dimmed little by little.

Today's reunion with Reo Tsushima was beyond Osamu Dazai's expectation, which made him flustered and caught off guard, and even made a fatal mistake.

——exposed Tsushima Reo to Mori Ogai's eyes.

Osamu Dazai knew Mori Ogai's behavior all too well.

Indifferent, ruthless, without empathy or compassion, he looks at others as if evaluating a bunch of messy data, his heart is full of cold calculations, but his face is covered with kind and gentle With a concerned and worried tone, he tempts people into the abyss.

Mori Ogai may still retain a little bit of warmth and intolerance in his heart, but in front of the righteousness he insists on and the city he loves, he has become a redundant and worthless waste product, just waiting to be destroyed. Weigh by catties and sell at a price.

Osamu Dazai knew that Mori Ogai had been worrying about the business license for supernatural powers recently, and he also knew that he refused to help Mori Ogai get a business business license for supernatural powers because he hated politicians and didn't want to contact them anymore. Undoubtedly, Mori Ogai felt jealous.

In other words, Mori Ogai has been faintly worried that Osamu Dazai, who is not under his control, will do something beyond his control, disrupting the plan that has been advancing normally according to his wishes, and this Osamu Dazai's resolute refusal without hesitation, full of disgust, only brought to the surface the conflict that had never disappeared between the two of them.

Dazai Osamu and Mori Ogai have known each other for eight years.

But the relationship between them only stops at [knowledge].

Eight years ago, Shuji Tsushima, who "died" in the fire, changed his name and surname, and met Mori Ogai for the first time as Osamu Dazai.

At that time, Osamu Dazai lost the only relative he cared about, and his twin brother who was also connected by blood. When he died, he was rescued by Yosano Akiko, but after a brief confrontation with Mori Ogai in the hospital, he had no intention of living until the wound healed.

After the effect of the anesthetic on his body faded slightly and his hands and feet regained strength, Osamu Dazai asked the nurse to help him buy a bag of fruit, using this as an excuse to get a fruit knife, and started his second suicide attempt.

But unfortunately, because he was in the hospital and the bandages wrapped around his hands interfered with his perception, he could not find the location of the carotid artery, and was sent to the emergency room before he entered a state of shock due to excessive blood loss Li was rescued and returned.

The news was delivered to Mori Ogai as a matter of course.

Mori Ogai, who is only interested in profit, was in the battlefield and could not rush back to Tokyo, so he weighed [letting a precious supernatural person hate him extremely] and [letting a precious supernatural person die by suicide] After these two options, he only made up lies to the nurses in the hospital calmly and naturally, without any fluctuations in his heart.

"As you can see, this child has tragically inherited a familial mental illness from his father, and has a very dangerous suicidal tendency. The burns on his body were caused by stealing gasoline and setting it on fire. I can't do anything... If you can, please treat him as a mental patient and strictly control him while helping him to treat him, and I will pay for this part of the cost."

In any case, even at the request of the child's guardian, it is impossible for the hospital to treat a person casually as a mental patient without self-awareness. Mori Ogai explained their concerns, and promised that the nurse would take special care of Osamu Dazai and pay more attention to his behavior.

But Mori Ogai only thought about it for a while, and insisted on his request. He absolutely cannot allow accidents to happen where his own fingertips cannot reach.

The special thing about this hospital is that it is not an ordinary medical institution under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Health, but a special incentive facility set up under the auxiliary department of the military. It is a welfare issued by the state to soldiers fighting on the battlefield. One, that is to say, Mori Ogai, who was promoted by the councilors and took control of an entire specialized army, can actually issue administrative orders to hospitals in accordance with the rules of the army.

In this way, the hospital that followed the administrative order and treated Osamu Dazai as a mental patient for compulsory treatment was exempted from all risks and responsibilities, and naturally there was nothing wrong with it.

Unsurprisingly, according to Mori Ogai's wishes, the doctors and nurses at the hospital treated Osamu Dazai while treating him as a mental patient with signs of self-harm. In the ward, he was tied to the bed with straps.

At that time, Osamu Dazai, who had not healed his burns and lost a lot of blood, was weak and had no power to resist.

He couldn't move his hands and feet, surrounded by snow-white walls without windows, lying on a snow-white hospital bed, wearing a snow-white straitjacket, looking at the snow-white ceiling with his eyes open, all the people coming and going were all snow-white people.

He fell into the pure white hell.

three full months.

In this extremely unlucky situation, perhaps there is only one point of consolation. They did not take away the prison gate that sealed Reo Tsushima, but after noticing the special significance of the prison gate to Osamu Dazai, they distributed the prison gate to Dazai. A cube with a creepy black aura was placed beside his bed.

Three months later, the [Undead Legion] led by Mori Ogai won a big victory, and the war took a slight turning point. Mori Ogai had room to breathe, so he set aside a day to go to Tokyo , not only to report this gratifying victory to the congressmen who supported him at the beginning, but also to meet the precious child-like person who was left in the hospital by him.

The second time they met, there was no intense scene full of cursing and crying that Mori Ogai imagined, and the child who had been detained by him for three months looked at him without a trace of resentment or disgust, just calm, just numb, Just empty white nothingness.

Osamu Dazai looked at him, identified him carefully for a while, then dug out his existence from his memory, and said, "You're here."

Fortunately, I can still talk.

Mori Ogai, who was stared at by Dazai Osamu's unmoving eyes for a long time, his face froze with laughter. The moment he heard Dazai Osamu's words, the first thought came up in his heart. A comfortingly weird idea.

In fact, it is quite normal for Mori Ogai to have such thoughts. After all, as a military doctor in the army, he has seen too many soldiers who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder during the war. Aphasia and absent-mindedness appeared due to excessive stimulation, and Dazai Osamu's slow-moving and motionless appearance just now was too similar to those soldiers he had seen in the past, so he couldn't help but do something to him subconsciously. Assessment of mental status.

But in the next second Mori Ogai realized that Osamu Dazai was not his patient, and he did not come here to heal Osamu Dazai.

"Dazai-kun, I specially took the time to come and see you, how are you doing recently?" Mori Ogai asked in a gentle and friendly tone with a kind smile on his face.

"How am I doing, don't you know?"

Osamu Dazai pushed back coldly.

Mori Ogai was already prepared for not getting a good face, so he continued without changing his face, "I heard from the doctor that the burn on your body is no longer serious, but it will inevitably leave a little scar , Dazai-kun, do you care? If you hate leaving scars on your body, I will contact a medical beauty hospital to help you clean up all the burn marks on your body..."

"I heard," Osamu Dazai, who was wearing a restraint uniform and his limbs were fixed on the hospital bed, with only a pale and beautiful face upside down, didn't listen to what he said at all, but interrupted him indifferently. Unfinished words, "Beside you, is there a person with supernatural powers who has the ability to heal?"

Mori Ogai's words came to an abrupt end.

His wine-red pupils slowly half-opened, and even his tone of voice became a little dangerous, "You—how did you know?"

Yosano Akiko's existence, even in the political circle, only those congressmen who supported Mori Ogai's [Undead Legion] plan knew about it. In the army, Mori Ogai was even more stingy, even if he watched Soldiers from other branches of the army died painfully due to complications and bacterial infections after a battle, and he would never send Yosano Akiko to support those soldiers. Only soldiers who were selected into the Undead Legion are eligible Know the existence of Yosano Akiko.

Even in order to ensure that the information with Yosano Akiko would not be leaked, Mori Ogai stipulated a death order at the beginning of the establishment of the Undead Army-soldiers in the Undead Army would not be reduced, replaced, or withdrawn.

Under such a strict secrecy mechanism, although the enemy faintly noticed the existence of the undead army, they still did not know how Mori Ogai did it.

But in such a safe situation, Osamu Dazai, who was regarded as a mental patient and bound to the hospital bed, said such words in a casual way, and Mori Ogai couldn't help but think about it.

Mori Ogai thought about it carefully.

When Yosano Akiko and Yosano Akiko tried to use supernatural powers to treat Dazai Ogai, Mori Ogai could be sure that Dazai Osamu was in a severe coma and dying state, and it was absolutely impossible for him to notice the existence of Yosano Akiko at that time of.

Later, when he was in the hospital, during his probing of Osamu Dazai, Ogai Mori did not see any sign that Osamu Dazai might know the existence of Akiko Yosano. Although this hospital is a special hospital for military families, the Undead Legion The soldiers have never been in contact with the outside world since they were selected, and it is impossible for even their family members to know the news, let alone tell Dazai Osamu, who has never met them.

It is even more impossible for members of the political circles. Osamu Dazai has no qualifications or channels to contact them.

Dazai Osamu, the son of a former member of parliament, who can push his father to the position of prime minister with a single effort, can see his suspicion and scrutiny from the change in Mori Ogai's expression, and he doesn't want to wait three months for the The opportunity wasted on testing each other, so they simply pierced the delicate barrier film erected between the two.
