A distorted love

Dazai stared for a while longer before looking away, knowing that plenty of people would come and deal with him later.

"Why do you say that if a third person learns of the 'Book's' existence, the possibility of the world's destruction increases? More than three people in our world know of the Book's existence, and I'm certain our world isn't the so-called 'main world'."

Zhong also raised the question that had puzzled him before, saying that he had never heard of this claim, and 6499 also denied it.

"Because 'books' are the cornerstone of this world, when a third person learns about them, the balance between cognition and reality is disrupted, thus increasing the possibility of world destruction."

"But we have destroyed the 'book' of our world."

"Now, you haven't actually died, but it seems like there's no danger coming your way. In the end, this is just your guess, right? You weren't entirely sure, and it just happened to be your reason for suicide. It's really touching that you're willing to make sacrifices for world peace. You can just fool yourself."

The leader's face turned pale instantly, because Dazai's words were spot on. Moreover, he hadn't expected that, even though they were from a parallel world, their world's "book" had been completely destroyed, which overturned all his guesses.

In fact, when he saw them appear from the other world, the leader Dazai had already vaguely sensed something, but he was unwilling to believe it. After all, if he did, all his actions over the years would really be a joke. But Dazai directly tore off his last fig leaf.

"Then perhaps you are the exception. After all, I've searched every corner of the 'book' over the years and haven't seen a single better world; the future is always a mess."

The chief retorted calmly, while the dazai gave him a pitying look.

"We've also visited other parallel worlds, where you also obtained the 'book,' but it was a very happy world."

At this point, Chuuya couldn't help but reveal a look that could barely be described as envy, and Dazai reached out and grasped Chuuya's hand.

A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He was truly jealous that Chuuya could show such emotion. He was becoming more and more curious about that world. Although he could roughly guess what it was like, he still wanted to see it with his own eyes. It was just a pity that he was randomly teleported there.

"After all, we're taking an open-book exam with the answers, so we can't possibly get a zero, can we?"

After Dazai learned about the background of this world, he didn't know if he would make the same choice or do the same thing, after all, they were, in the end, the same entity.

After all, situations like Ash Slaughter's are rare and can't always be replicated, but that doesn't stop him from mocking him.

"Could you briefly explain? I'm a little curious."

The leader was pale, and looked like he was about to break apart.

[There's even a TV series, they're really relentlessly pursuing us!]

There's no more room for self-deception; another fight is on the way.

[He truly brought disaster upon himself.]

But don't underestimate the bond between Chunhen.

bump--! !

"Wait a minute, Central Plains cadres!"

Dazai and Chuuya turned around when they heard the noise and saw an extremely angry Chuuya kick open the door and rush in. It was clear that Nakajima Atsushi couldn't stop the executive who was in a fit of rage.

Even though he knew it wasn't his own Chuuya, seeing Chuuya so angry after so long made Dazai tense up instinctively. Dazai, on the other hand, completely changed his demeanor and became serious.

But the next second, the leader's collar was grabbed.

"You sent me away specifically so you could jump off a building? Didn't I say you could only die by my hand? Dazai!"

"Is this how you, as the top executive, treat the leader? Chuuya."

He was practically a superman. Dazai looked at the leader with the eyes of someone looking at a warrior, but what was even more incredible was that the emotions among the officers were strangely calm.

Another top-ranking official. Chuuya, who didn't have a good impression of the term, gradually turned from watching the show with a deadpan expression, wondering why he hadn't punched him.

The cadre calmed down for a moment, then a cold smile crept onto his face. He shifted his hand to the leader's neck and tightened his grip.

"Heh, Dazai, do you think I'd let you stay in this position now?"

The leader, Zai, was having trouble breathing. Clearly, he didn't have the same good health as Dazai. This was understandable, given that he had been sitting in an office for the past few years, never seeing the sunlight, and hadn't even had time to contemplate suicide.

"Cough... Chuuya is going to kill... me now? Just like Mori-san... killed the First Boss?"

The leader was still smiling, with even a hint of anticipation in his eyes. The atmosphere between the two was tense, and suddenly the officer released his grip on the leader's neck.

The leader, Zai, who was breathing fresh air again, began to cough rapidly, and his already pale face became even more unsightly.

"Cough...cough cough..."

"Killing you like this would be too easy for you, Dazai. I won't let you die so easily."

Chuuya's tone was filled with hatred, along with many other complex emotions.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Dazai keenly sensed that something was off about the atmosphere between them. Both of them were sharp like hedgehogs, neither willing to back down first, yet they were also numb, unable to do anything about each other.

However, the tone of the words spoken by the executive just now did not seem like a joke. He was about to be usurped. This really meant that Chuuya was about to become the leader. This world is truly hilarious. Dazai exclaimed in his heart, while the comments section was filled with cheers and support.

Chung also watched the cadre curiously from the side. It was the first time he had seen such a counterpart. The person was extremely tense from head to toe, like a hedgehog with its quills raised, pointing at anyone who tried to get close.

"Why doesn't Yokohama add an animal protection law, such as criminalizing dog abusers?"

Dazai, who could see through Chuuya's actions, obviously knew as well, and casually added some damage from the side.

Only then did the cadres notice the two people standing to the side. They didn't show much emotion and simply nodded in acknowledgment.

Dazai discovered that, including Nakajima Atsushi and Akutagawa, it seemed that no one in this world was particularly surprised to see them, or rather, they were all numb, finding it difficult to even feel surprise; just living was exhausting enough.

This sudden thought made Dazai realize once again that what those comments said was not an exaggeration; the leader, Dazai, had really persecuted this world beyond recognition.

"You don't have one in your world? If you like, we can add it to this world as a greeting gift, but it can only be within Yokohama. We need some worlds."

Voices rose from among the cadres, but they failed to grasp the underlying meaning. The leader, who understood, remained silent; there was no such joke among them, and they did not stop the cadres from overstepping their authority.

But the content of the words is chilling to think about. The gift directly adds a law to their laws. We know that the mafia is very powerful in this world, but this directly bypasses the government, doesn't it?

There are a million questions I want to ask, but clearly these two need a private space to have a proper talk.

[As expected, even pure love stories set in the underworld can be quite enjoyable; this is exactly the flavor.]

Despite thorough preparation, there was still a lack of preparation; the mafia in this world is truly too powerful.

[The leader is being too lenient. If I were the leader, I would never allow my subordinates to overstep their authority like that.]

I support Chuuya usurping the leadership and then starting his imprisonment.

Healthy relationships are important, but distorted love is even more fascinating.
