Seamless connection

The Armed Detective Dazai, who was multitasking, didn't miss the little drama between the two. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, the atmosphere between them that no one else could get in still made Dazai feel angry.

The design was intended to prevent him from meeting Chuuya, but instead, he found himself here, being all lovey-dovey with Chuuya. How wonderful!

With a powerful effort, Wu Zhenzai used the recoil to jump away, catching his breath. In a one-on-one fight, he indeed couldn't beat his opponent.

However, he's not like Chuuya, a muscle-bound gorilla. At times like this, he still needs to rely on his brain. For example, Francis has now been tripped up by the Armed Detective Dazai's scheme.

Before the person could react, Armed Detective Zai somehow obtained handcuffs, and with a crisp snap, the person's hands were already cuffed.

Unbound, Francis was powerless against Armed Detective Dazai, let alone now, and lay on the ground in compromise.

Armed Detective Dazai spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Dazai on the other side, whose expression still showed dissatisfaction.

"Thank you so much for the gift, I really love it!"

Armed Detective Dazai anticipated the possible response from the other party, but unexpectedly, it was the leader Chuuya who made the first move. He reached out and took Dazai's hand, beckoning to him. The next second, only the injured Armed Detective Dazai and Francis, who was lying on the ground and had given up resisting, remained. It was as if the other party had never been there.

Moreover, he always felt that the other party was hiding something, but after thinking about it over and over again, he still couldn't find anything wrong (after all, he was a blockhead who couldn't understand anything and just kept pointing fingers).

However, this infuriated Armed Detective Zai. According to reliable information from Atsushi, Zai even went to the Mafia to find Mori, but his efforts were in vain. In the end, because he eliminated Alice, he was hunted down within the Mafia circle for a while, and during that time, no one was willing to go on missions with Zai.

Dazai and Chuuya seamlessly teleported the two to the next world. Before they could even complain, they sensed the tense atmosphere in the air and heard a familiar voice from just a wall away.

"...Our world is just one of countless possible worlds within the 'Book,' I know that, because my special ability allows me to inherit the memories of those outside the 'Book.'"

Dazai and Chuuya exchanged a glance, then turned away, tacitly slowing their breathing to minimize their presence. At that moment, the two reached a consensus.

"Do you know about world line convergence? I actually hate this term. It means that no matter how hard I try to change it, I can't change the final result. I've seen too many memories of failure."

I estimate that in a while, "The Book" will be targeted by some malicious individuals, "The Rat," and other powerful supernatural combinations. I hope you can join forces to deal with them. I'm sorry to force you to work together, but... please protect Yokohama.

"Then... what about you, Chief? What about the Central Plains cadres?"

Atsushi Nakajima suppressed his emotions and spoke calmly, but Chief Zai did not answer the question.

"Here's a piece of advice for you: don't tell anyone what just happened. If a third person finds out, the possibility of the world being destroyed will greatly increase."

[Besides letting Chuuya gracefully disappear in this world, the leader Zabuza truly has a kind of beautiful, useless-for-nothing quality. He even helped Yokohama ban their strongest fighter, thus increasing Yokohama's strength.]

[Actually, if you look at all the parallel worlds, Chuuya is the most relaxed in every world. Even when Chuuya deliberately tries to die, Dazai is always there to accompany him. This is definitely a testament to his sweet, love-struck mind.]

Wow, he just ran into the boss jumping off a building! Chuuya's about to enjoy the good life of promotion, wealth, and the boss's death!

[A stunningly beautiful widow in Yokohama: a woman who gets promoted, becomes rich, and loses her husband]

[Actually, this kind of underworld relationship is quite interesting. After all, a man's love is where his money is. The Black Hand Gang left behind by Chuuya is, I dare say, the most successful one in all parallel worlds. That's the charm of the leader, Dazai, as a male ghost.]

[Actually, there's another reason: if Naka was also there, Dazai wouldn't want to die and wouldn't be able to make up his mind. You guys in Yokohama are gay.]

[Actually, there's another reason: in this world, Dazai didn't properly cultivate a relationship with Chuuya. He even had to stab himself first to get Chuuya to activate the Impurity. Compared to the world of the Destiny Brother next door, the difference is too great.]

[After all, in any world where life is even slightly better, unless someone like Dazai has a personality like that, he would probably have just hidden himself away, or he would have destroyed the "book" like in this world.]

[Their final choice of death was jumping off a building. How can such painful deaths not be considered deaths at Chuuya's hands? This kind of underworld-themed pure love makes me cry (not moved at all)]

Chuuya and Dazai listened to the conversation outside, their expressions bewildered as they read the information displayed in the live chat.

"Pfft!"

Dazai couldn't help but burst out laughing. Even if Dazai hadn't said anything, Chuuya couldn't hold back either, clenching his fist and slamming it against the wall next to him, his expression grim.

Even though they are in the same body, judging from the comments, it seems like I've been kept in the dark about this world from the beginning, and it's infuriating that I know nothing about it.

Dazai noticed Chuuya's emotions and composed himself. He just wanted to attract attention, but he didn't want to escalate the situation. If he didn't know that Chuuya definitely wouldn't want to see this scene, he would have liked to watch his counterpart jump off the building. After all, this was an idiot who got 0 points on an open-book exam.

"who?"

At the sudden commotion, Atsushi Nakajima instinctively shielded his leader, his half-tiger form warily watching the two hiding places. He felt a faint sense of relief, knowing that the conversation just now might have led to a scenario he didn't want to happen.

But with the leader's words still echoing in his ears, Nakajima Atsushi couldn't help but feel afraid again.

"Aren't you going to come out and meet me?"

To be honest, there shouldn't be anyone here right now. He had made thorough preparations for this suicide attempt.

The leader didn't hide the gloom in his eyes, but when he saw that bright orange color even in the darkness, he stopped breathing. He just didn't want Chuuya to know about this.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it in and disturbed your jump. I'm really sorry, can you continue?"

Dazai asked very sincerely, and the three people opposite him finally saw who it was. Akutagawa's pupils visibly dilated, but the other two were clearly not calm either.

Who can remain calm after realizing their world is just a parallel world and then seeing someone from that parallel world/themselves in the next second?

Even the leader, who had already given up and was ready to die, couldn't help it, especially after hearing the mockery from his counterpart.

"I didn't know my counterpart had a hobby of eavesdropping."

The leader, Zai, returned the attack with a forced smile, observing the two who had suddenly appeared without making a sound. He wasn't too surprised by the arrival of the leader, Chuuya. Their arrival might bring about new changes. There was a slight flicker of emotion in Zai's eyes, but more than anything, there was a deathly stillness in them, like an old man who had reached the end of his life and whose life force had completely disappeared.

"After all, not every world has such a great live performance."

"If you're going to jump off a building, where's my counterpart?"

As Chuuya's question resounded, his clenched fists remained clenched. It wasn't hard to imagine that if he didn't answer well, his fists might smash into the face of the leader, Dazai, in the next second.
