Atsushi Nakajima sat cautiously on the sofa in the living room, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand to warm his hands, feeling that this party would silently sigh "so spacious" every time he came here, the space is so depressing and suffocating today .He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Akutagawa, only to find that the latter looked as usual, sitting with his back straight and holding a teacup drinking tea, as usual on the floor: the shoulders were in a line and the curvature of the spine was standard, it was really hard to pick out even Just a little niggle.

Putting down the teacup, Ryunosuke Akutagawa turned his head, his eyes smoothly turned to Renhu, and asked silently with his eyes: What are you looking at?

All in all, based on the relationship between the detective agency and the mafia that "there is no contact between old age and death, but they can hold hands successfully at critical moments". They have been partners for five or six years, and even though they have never lost a single fight, they can still do small things like eye signals.

Atsushi Nakajima looked at him hard: What's the situation now?By the way, why are you so calm?What was that shocked expression just now, just kidding me? ?

Akutagawa: "..."

Dun is a cat's eye, although the years of experience in the detective agency have made him more mature, the childishness of the youth in his brows and eyes has faded a lot, and the once small tiger has become a big tiger - but the cat's eyes are still It is big and bright, and it is very convenient to convey the eyes, full of vigor, lively and lively.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke gave his partner a warning look, then turned his eyes back, expressing his intention to refuse to communicate with him again.

At this time, footsteps sounded, and Nakahara Nakaya came down the stairs, holding a document in his hand-this is the purpose of Akutagawa's visit to seniors here today.Seeing the reappearance of this mafia in a loose yukata, Nakajima and Akutagawa changed from sitting to standing one after another. The two who had almost exchanged glances just now restrained themselves a lot in front of their seniors and became more honest.

Nakahara also came over, handed Akutagawa the documents collected in a brown paper bag, sat down on the sofa in front of them, and slightly raised his jaw at the two of them: "Sit down, you don't have to be so polite at home—how do I feel?" Are you a little nervous?"

The latter sentence is to say to Dun, thanks to a certain gentleman, the chances of their contact in recent years are no less than when they worked with Akutagawa when they were working in Zhongyuan.Zhong Yuanzhong also touched his face: "Am I serious?"

"No, it's just..." Atsushi Nakajima and Akutagawa sat down again, blinked and asked the main concern first, "...Mr. Nakahara, is your body really okay?"

"Ah, it's okay." Zhongyuan Zhong also casually picked up the lemon tea he had brewed earlier, "It only hurt for a while, but it's completely fine now."

"Oh..." Atsushi Nakajima nodded, and wanted to ask "what happened just now", but he was afraid of the source of the suffocating atmosphere standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows with a blank face, so he had to carefully look at it. Looking over there, the doubts of "I don't understand what's going on with that person" are as strong as "I don't understand what happened to Mr. Zhongyuan just now".

Zhong Yuanzhong also noticed the little tiger's eyes (in the eyes of the seniors, even if the younger generation grows into a big monster, he is still the same little tiger), and said "uh" lightly: "You don't care about him... You came here today for Let’s talk about the work that Kunikida said earlier? Maybe we can’t do the work of the detective agency for the time being... It’s not too bad to keep him busy with Akutagawa’s work now.”

Akutagawa, who had been calm and silent all this time, straightened his back in a standard sitting posture: "So, sure enough..."

"He deliberately wanted to see your reaction, so it was quite obvious." Zhong Yuan nodded, "You should be familiar with Akutagawa."

"...Yes." Even though he had predicted it long ago, when the conjecture was confirmed, Akutagawa's eyes could not help revealing the inner shock.He paused, and then said in a low voice: "The strong sense of déjà vu, and now... is something I'm used to."

Even if you stand there without doing or saying anything, even if you don't even look at you...but it will still make the people around you shudder, and the cold sweat will break out uncontrollably.

Mr. Dazai, who was still working as a mafia cadre at the time... was such a man.

The two mafia here are saying code words that anyone who is a mafia member will feel deeply, but there is an innocent young man with a clean background beside him.After listening to their vague conversation, Atsushi Nakajima suddenly felt isolated and lonely: "What is the sense of sight?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Akutagawa Ryunosuke quickly regained his composure after a brief shock, and uttered his usual cold snort at Atsushi Nakajima, "At that time, you still didn't know where to play with mud."

"????" Being ridiculed daily, Atsushi Nakajima has already honed his conditioned reflex to deal with it, "If you say this, I don't need to remind you of the fact that you are only two years older than me, Akutagawa? I If you play with mud, you're building a sandcastle, half a catty, okay?"

Akutagawa retorted: "I have never built a sandcastle."

Zhong Yuan Zhong, who had a premonition that a big war was about to break out, had to intervene: "Okay, none of you were old enough to play mud and sand castles ten years ago, so don't talk about it..."

Atsushi Nakajima was not to be outdone: "Then I haven't played with mud either???"

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

Zhong Yuanzhong also sighed, stood up simply, and left the living room to the two young people who had just started to quarrel, and now they were finally ready to quarrel. Some little wolfhound over there.

The sharp pain that came from my heart just now came without warning, and went away without a sound. I can't tell if it lasted for a minute.However, Nakahara, who has endured this pain, and Osamu Dazai, whose soul comes from the past, are both keenly aware of some "truth" about this wonderful experience from this point—or, in other words, some inferences that are close to the truth.The content of those inferences was obviously not very pleasant, which made the young Mafia directly sink his face. After seeing that he was fine, he stood by the French window with a blank expression, his iris eyes were spotlessly wiped. glass looking out.

There was a tinge of gloom in his eyes, the end was not the bare grassland due to the wrong season, but looking at... another time and space that he could not intervene for the time being.

It reminds me that acting like a baby and being cute for some unspeakable purpose... These methods, which resemble those little boys who are very popular with girls in school, are not the real side of this young man.

During the period from when the new leader took office to when the organization's status was reconsolidated, nearly half of the lists established by darkness and blood, and the unimaginable amount of huge profits were all due to this "youngest cadre in history"; A cute junior who is handsome and a little mean, but will wear a black suit without a trace of wrinkles, sit in the bar of the most luxurious hotel in the city on a weekday afternoon, and talk casually with an opponent who came to negotiate with a dozen machine guns A mafia that involves the movement of millions of dollars.

——Of course, these presented dangers are enough to keep Nakajima Atsushi and Akutagawa Ryunosuke quiet and honest, but for Nakahara Chuya who grew up with him since he was a child, the biggest The only effect is to make him distracted, recalling last night inappropriately... Well, although I suspect that the word "temperance" may be swallowed whole, but occasionally I have a little bit of a fierce and impatient young man. Version Dazai did this once, it still feels very exciting.

Hearing the sound behind him, Osamu Dazai paused and turned his head, silently looking at his partner ten years later.

However, because of the reason why he wandered into the Midnight Theater just now, Zhong Yuanzhong was also looked at by him. When he came back to his senses, he forgot what he wanted to say before, and was silent for two seconds with a little embarrassment. Suddenly, he remembered a wind horse Niu irrelevant question: "I asked you to take your son for an injection yesterday, but you ran back first—what about your son?"

"..." Osamu Dazai sighed, and seemed to be very nervous at all times in disgust, but because of the sigh, his cold face warmed up a little, "... Qian Lah. I gave the administrator some money, and asked him to take that silly dog ​​for vaccinations, anyway, he probably fed it a lot.”

Zhong Yuanzhong also nodded—Mr. Administrator is indeed very familiar with them—and then calmly returned to the purpose of coming here: "Why were you so angry just now? You scared the children."

Osamu Dazai narrowed his eyes slightly, the floor-to-ceiling windows were full of sunlight, and the man with a mature appearance looked extremely handsome under the light: "Why am I angry... I don't believe you can't guess it, Chuya."

Zhong Yuanzhong also looked at him.

The strange and short-lived sharp pain in his heart will not be without reason. Assuming it is related to this wonderful experience that is happening right now, then what makes him suffer so much, he can only think of it as the past in the Central Plains. A sign of something.

This "thing" may involve many results, but no matter which one is definitely not what the mature version of Zhongyuanzhong would like to see.

Then, assuming that the result of this matter is serious enough to have a great impact on the Central Plains China ten years later, then this is considered a bug in the running of time.Regardless of what caused the bug, if there is a time to run the law, it will definitely correct this problem so that it will not be linked to each other because of the change of this node. Wei Lai was changed beyond recognition - equivalent to the self-check function of the system.

If the first two bold and even somewhat whimsical hypotheses are true, then what happened to Dazai Osamu can barely be explained: he is also the closest to Nakahara, and if he goes back to the past for a short time, maybe he will Prevent that "accident" from happening that shouldn't happen.

Although it is just an inference without evidence, but now that there is no other explanation, this seems to be the closest to the truth... At the same time, it has also become a place that annoys Osamu Dazai.

The mafia cadre with a sullen face: "My own partner, even Zhong Ye, is really annoying, but I wouldn't do such a thing as watching him die - can I avoid the risk by going to someone else? Chick."

"Anyone else, isn't that yourself? In the end, it's just a guess. It's impossible to tell whether more than one day has passed here, and the same time is passing at the same speed over there." The 28-year-old Zhong Yuanzhong also felt this. There is no way to complain, "In addition, I want to make a point, even without you, you or the older one, I will definitely be safe in the past."

"Then can you explain the current situation?" Dazai Osamu gave him a nasty smile, "If it's the current Chuya, even if I just contacted you, I can confirm that you are safe and sound even if you are alone... ...But Chuya himself told the truth, can you really be as perfect as you are now, ten years ago?"

Dirtyness is a hidden bomb, a monster that will indiscriminately devour the enemy and itself along with it even if it just uses the wrong timing once.

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

He could not refute.But right now, he did show the stability of an adult with ten years of life experience.

"That's what you said..." He didn't look very anxious, he didn't seem to worry about whether he would "disappear" in the next moment, but he was more interested in Dazai's reaction, "But now, we also We can only wait and see how things develop for the time being.”

Dazai looked away, then looked at the gray lawn outside the window, and suddenly said: "Perhaps, there was really something I couldn't notice at that time."

"But I promise..."

"It's not going to end like this," he whispered.

..............................

………………

Young dark-haired man sitting on the bed and meditating.

Zhong Yuanzhong also guessed right, there was indeed a slight discrepancy between ten years ago and ten years later.A day and a half had passed there, while the sun had just risen here.

The appearance is very tender, but the soul in the shell clearly remembers that he is 28 years old. Osamu Dazai was woken up by the alarm clock.After waking up, I didn't feel the familiar temperature in my arms. After reluctantly opening my eyes, the silence replaced the unhappiness, and then I found that the single bed under me was so familiar... as if I had returned to before liberation.

As if pinched, after the alarm clock rang, a phone call came in, Osamu Dazai answered it with a blank expression, and it was Mr. Hirotsu.

"Mr. Dazai, the car will be downstairs in four or 10 minutes." The old man who just had a minor operation the day before yesterday and planned to visit the nursing home after waking up with Zhongya said on the phone, "Today the leader will receive the Mr. Koizumi, both you and Hongye-sama need to attend."

Osamu Dazai: "..."

After hanging up the phone, Osamu Dazai got out of bed, walked out of the familiar bedroom and came to the full-length mirror.He looked at the blood oozing faintly under some bandages on his body, then looked around the familiar high-end apartment he was in, and finally checked the time with his mobile phone.

"..."

After sighing, Osamu Dazai rubbed his forehead with a headache.

From the state of a winner in life who is still lazy at home all day while a beauty is in his arms, he suddenly returns to the period of a social person who is working hard.

Why did my life suddenly go back to gear after I just fell asleep?

TBC.
