Humanoid self-propelled wishing machine

Osamu Dazai showed a relaxed look, and after playing around with Reo Tsushima, the fluster in his heart gradually calmed down like a needle prick.

He touched Rei Tsushima's head, and remembered that the alarm he had installed on Rei Tsushima did not give him an alarm, so he asked, "Lianyang, where is the alarm on your body?"

"Here." Reo Tsushima took off the button-shaped, toy-like bright yellow alarm hanging from his pants, and showed it to Osamu Dazai.

"But it didn't work," he said. "The man released [the tent], the signal and electromagnetic waves were blocked, and then it entered the water and it was broken."

Osamu Dazai noticed that there was indeed a wet spot on Reo Tsushima's clothes, but he didn't know whether it was in the car or was touched by the attacker later.

He picked up the corner of the clothes and wiped it with his hands. His fingertips got a little moist water vapor, but the marks on the clothes got deeper and deeper.

Fortunately, Tsushima Reo didn't suffer any injuries.

He was well protected by Oda Sakunosuke.

Osamu Dazai paid more attention to another point mentioned in Reo Tsushima's words.

account?

Osamu Dazai narrowed his eyes slightly, and had a disturbing guess in his heart, did people in the magic world discover Lian Yang?

"Dazai." Oda Sakunosuke seemed to have noticed something, and called him, "Come and have a look."

Dazai Osamu walked to Oda Sakunosuke after hearing the sound, squatted down to check the pattern printed on a small piece of cloth that Oda Sakunosuke was pulling with his hands, "Is this... the family mon?"

"If it is embroidered on the shoulders on both sides, usually there will be no mistakes." Oda Sakunosuke rubbed the dust and a little purple-black blood on it with his thumb, and made the pattern a little clearer. Said, "Take a picture with your phone."

Osamu Dazai clicked, saved a photo, and checked it when he was about to go back.

"Odasaku, did he reveal something?"

Although it can be seen from the fact that the person behind the scenes only sent a dead body, at least for now, he should not want to reveal his identity, but Osamu Dazai still asked tentatively.

"No." Oda Sakunosuke's answer did not exceed Osamu Dazai's expectations, he said in a flat tone, "He just broke my car, forced us to get out of the car, and then fought with me, thinking To snatch Lianyang over, I shot him in the limbs, and then he fell down and didn't move."

Oda Sakunosuke summed up what happened very succinctly in just a few dozen words.

He added, "He struggled a few times, probably seeing that this body was deprived of the ability to move, and felt that it could no longer be used, so he simply discarded it."

Osamu Dazai asked, "Have you seen clearly what his abilities are?"

"Probably the ability to change the state of people or objects." Oda Sakunosuke looked at the rusted and completely scrapped vehicle, "That's the new car I just applied for, and it changed in ten seconds. It’s like this, it’s like being soaked in water for decades.”

"What about the activation conditions?"

Oda Sakunosuke thought about it for a while, and said hesitantly, "Probably because of physical contact." He said honestly, "Suddenly came out...I thought it was Touch Ci."

"Pfft——" Dazai Osamu was inexplicably poked at the point of laughter by Oda Sakunosuke's sincere words, and patted Oda Sakunosuke's shoulder, laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten up, "Hahahahahahahaha, Oda Sakunosuke's thoughts are really serious It's super interesting, I didn't even think of it!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Oda Sakunosuke said, "But normal people would think that way."

Osamu Dazai checked the corpse again, and after confirming that he could not find any more information, he could only take a few more photos of him with his mobile phone and save them, then turned his head and planned to take Oda Sakunosuke and Tsushima Reo back first. First.

After getting in the car, the smile on Dazai Osamu's face gradually faded away from where Reo Tsushima couldn't see. He kept showing a relaxed appearance as if nothing had happened, playing and laughing in front of the corpse, but The delay in checking the corpse that he knew had clues was not because he was confident that he could protect Lianyang, nor was it because he underestimated this matter.

He just had... some fears that were hard to overcome.

Osamu Dazai drove the car expressionlessly, but he couldn't help but recall the day when Reo Tsushima was sealed in the prison gate.

The warm and sunny day, the freedom within reach like a dream, he still deeply remembers the unprecedented joy in his heart at that time... and the ridiculous plot that took a sharp turn for the worse after that.

The sudden loss of temperature in the hand, the terrible sound of the neck breaking in the ear, the wet touch of blood splashing on the skin, and the dizzy and blurred vision, the small body hung high above the log.

Nightmarish memories kept flashing in my mind.

His fingertips were losing heat and trembling slightly uncontrollably.

Oda Sakunosuke, who was sitting in the co-pilot, noticed Osamu Dazai's pale face, turned his head and asked with concern, "Dazai..."

But Osamu Dazai glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and signaled him not to speak.

There was deep fear hidden in his iris-colored pupils.

It was something Oda Sakunosuke had never seen before.

Oda Sakunosuke was stunned. He didn't know what Dazai Osamu was afraid of, but he understood what Dazai Osamu meant, and asked, "...are you going to the boss's house now?"

It was a boring and unnutritious question, but it was exactly what Osamu Dazai wanted.

"Yeah." Osamu Dazai only answered Oda Sakunosuke in a low voice as if squeezing out from his throat.

Reo Tsushima, who was sitting in the back seat, didn't notice anything, opened his mouth and yawned, rubbing his eyes in some sleepiness.

For a child with limited energy, the back-and-forth driving and encounters on the road have already bottomed out his physical strength. Now it's time for Reo Tsushima to rest.

Totally different from Osamu Dazai, Reo Tsushima had no special feelings about what happened today. His memory only left the handsome appearance of Oda Sakunosuke drawing a gun and shooting, and his heart was full of carefree excitement and happiness until Closing his eyes, he was still thinking about going back to tell Xingsuke and the others what happened today.

When Oda Sakunosuke turned his head again, he found that Reo Tsushima was already fast asleep in the back seat, breathing slowly and steadily.

His sleeping face is like an angel. Even in his sleep, there is a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, and there is some baby fat on his cheeks, which is squeezed to reveal a soft outline. A beautiful child who can't help but feel pity.

"Asleep." Oda Sakunosuke turned his head.

"Can you tell me, what are you afraid of, Dazai?" Oda Sakunosuke looked directly at the changing scenery of the front window, did not look at Dazai Osamu, and said politely, with a calm tone and no sense of oppression, " Of course, if it’s something you can’t tell others, just ignore me.”

No matter who looks at it, Oda Sakunosuke can be called Dazai Osamu's best friend, but even for Oda Sakunosuke, Dazai Osamu has never told him about his past.

Because that's not something worth sharing with your friends.

"...It's nothing, you don't have to worry, Oda Saku." Osamu Dazai quickly collected his mood, drove the car steadily, and gave Oda Sakunosuke his usual relaxed smile, answering him like this.

But there was a faint coldness in his face, "It's just that some bedbugs that must be trampled to death came to the door."

.

Neither tempura, grilled squid, nor crab dishes could be made, but they still enjoyed a delicious curry at the boss's house, which was a simple celebration of the complete success of this plan.

After returning home, Osamu Dazai ordered his subordinates to go to the coastal road to collect the attacker's body and place it in the cold storage in the dungeon.

Unlike Mori Ogai who didn't even dare to leave the headquarters of the port mafia for a few months after he took office, Dazai Osamu was not worried that someone would kidnap or assassinate him.

Firstly, he had a notorious reputation. As a cadre-level member of the port mafia, he was already accustomed to being attacked by people from other forces. The existing protective measures were sufficient. Secondly, he was a member of the organization this time Peaceful usurpation, whether it is the support of the members of the organization or the acquiescence of the top of the organization, he has arranged it several months in advance. Now that the most difficult Nakahara Chuya has been persuaded, he will naturally solve other thorns for Dazai Osamu. No need for Dazai to bother.

Osamu Dazai thought that after this, Reo Tsushima could be sent to school and let him live a normal life as a child.

Hidden among the carefree, normal kids, Reo Tsushima could be happy forever, happy forever, laughing forever, without being different or considered a monster.

Just like some children are shy and some are cheerful, as long as they are in such a pure environment, Tsushima Reo is just an ordinary child with an optimistic nature.

But not yet.

The nightmare many years ago haunted them again like a lingering ghost.

Osamu Dazai lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He kept thinking about the corpse he saw today, so he simply took out his mobile phone and carefully checked the photos taken today with the help of the night light.

The pixels of the photo taken with the mobile phone are very blurry. The man's hair was long and sloppy covering half of his face. Osamu Dazai took the frontal photo with his hair pushed to the sides with his hands.

Looking at it this way, he was just an ordinary-looking young man.

Not a demon, nor a monster.

Osamu Dazai stared at the gray face that seemed to have begun to rot, as if he wanted to see through this face the person behind him who wanted to destroy his hard-earned happiness.

His pupils suddenly froze and focused on one point, and he reached out and stroked the place in the photo.

"……what is this?"

In the crevice of the parted hair, a dark tattoo-like mark was revealed.

The body of this person is still in the cold storage of the Port Mafia and has not been disposed of.

Dazai Osamu didn't wait much, and got up from the bed immediately, without waking Tsushima Reo who was already asleep, went to the study, and sent an email to the person in charge of night duty in the port mafia, telling them to go to the dungeon immediately Where the body is parked, take a photo of the entire face of the person sent today and send it.

The email came very quickly, and it took less than 10 minutes for Osamu Dazai to receive the message with a ding on his cell phone.

As he had guessed, the dead attacker did have a mark on his forehead, but it wasn't the dark tattoo he had imagined.

It was a cross suture that was uneven like a scar and ran through the entire skull.
