But it was too late for Shui Jiangyi to realize it. As he ran as fast as he could towards the rooftop, time was passing by every second.

Shui Jiangyi used the system frequently, which was rare. The system reported Dazai Osamu's direction to his ear on time.

"He is only three minutes away from the rooftop, host..."

"Two minutes..."

"One hundred meters..."

Almost every word the system said was like a pendulum of fate, strangling Shui Jiangyi's neck. His breathing had begun to become increasingly thin, and he didn't even know how much effort he had put in just breathing. He was trying to race against death every second.

In his hand, he was tightly holding the phone, which had Dazai Osamu's number dialed.

But it's been a long time and still no one answered.

The system told Shui Jiangyi the moment he called: "He left his phone in the leader's office."

But why didn't he hang up the phone? Shui Jiangyi didn't know. He only knew that he was holding the phone as if it were a lifeline. He held it so tightly that it almost broke. For a long time, besides the sound of the wind whistling past his ears due to his running, he could only hear the sound of no one answering the call.

The mechanical sound was so long and cold that it rang in his ears, constantly reminding Shui Jiangyi, who was already having difficulty breathing, "You have to wake up."

Dazai Osamu is already walking towards the sickle of death right under your nose.

Maybe it was because he was running as fast as he could, so he couldn't see the changes in the scenery around him. The sound of the system was also getting smaller. Shui Jiangyi finally saw the door leading to the rooftop.

He opened the door forcefully, wanting to call out to Dazai Osamu, but before he knew it, he fell into a warm embrace.

The person who was hugging him was wearing gorgeous clothes. The elegant fabric on his body almost buried him completely. His nostrils were filled with luxurious fragrance, which encouraged him, instigated him, and clamored at him. This person was Dazai Osamu.

From the very first meeting, he had conspired with Dazai Osamu to deceive him.

Shui Jiangyi could hardly hold back his voice and said, "Let me go!"

Time is running out, the tragedy is about to repeat itself, and he will once again enter an endless cycle of reincarnation, watching the end of the story endlessly.

This was the first time that Shui Jiang Yi looked at Dazai Osamu like this since he met him.

Ever since he came to the world of Bungo Stray Dogs, as Nakahara Chuuya, when he inherited all of Nakahara Chuuya's emotions, naturally, he also inherited Nakahara Chuuya's inexplicable feelings for Dazai Osamu.

In all matters, when the fate of Dazai Osamu and others was on the scales, Mizue Yi always made Dazai Osamu his most certain choice without any warning. He chose Dazai Osamu, and he gave Dazai Osamu supreme sense of security.

This was the initial feeling of Nakahara Chuuya who chose Mizue Yi.

So no matter which Dazai Osamu it is, no matter what Dazai Osamu has done to Mizue Yi, Mizue Yi will not care too much. Anyway, the sun will rise as usual tomorrow, and he doesn't mind pampering Dazai Osamu for a while before this sun sets.

But……

Shui Jiangyi didn’t think about it, or rather, he didn’t even think about it.

Actually, Mizue Yi also found it strange that Dazai Osamu would lie to him. Why didn't he ever choose to doubt Dazai Osamu? In his past memories, he had already lied to Mizue Yi countless times.

But how ridiculous it is that after countless times, Shui Jiangyi still chose to believe in Dazai Osamu.

And then, I waited until this ending.

It was obvious that the scam that Dazai Osamu had planned for him was not that brilliant, and was full of flaws. Sometimes, he couldn't even connect the cause and effect of Dazai Osamu's actions. However, Mizue Yi didn't find a single flaw.

Since he came here, he has been dealing with the two Dazai Osamu. He is afraid that the two of them will meet, and he is afraid that there will be some unnecessary mistakes in this story, but...

Shui Jiangyi closed his eyes suddenly, and said to Dazai Osamu: "Let me go."

The long-haired Dazai Osamu tied his hair up today, into a low ponytail, hanging behind him, making him look gentle and intellectual. He was gentle, but he hugged Shui Jiangyi with an irresistible strength, and whispered to him softly: "No."

Shui Jiangyi listened to the familiar tone that Dazai Osamu used to use towards him, but he was no longer as gentle as before. He said coldly: "If you don't want me to do anything to you, you can choose not to let go."

Dazai looked at Mizue Yi in surprise. He said, "Before today, I had never thought about how I would react if you got angry with me. It was not until today that I understood... Chuuya, when you get angry, it really makes me feel a little uneasy. But, don't do it."

Dazai hugged Shui Jiangyi even tighter. He leaned close to Shui Jiangyi's ear and said, "You should know this. I have told you countless times that the past cannot be changed. The only thing you can change is the future."

The warm breath fell on Shui Jiangyi's ear, but Shui Jiangyi felt a chill in his heart.

Yes, Dazai Osamu had said this to him countless times, but every time he said it, it was about Dazai Osamu's future in the if line, whether he would die. Mizue Yi naturally regarded Dazai Osamu's future as the future, rather than the fixed past in the cycle of reincarnation.

Before everything was revealed by Verlaine, he still felt that Dazai Osamu could survive and that he could grab Dazai Osamu's hand when Dazai Osamu fell.

Shui Jiangyi could hardly hold back her voice and asked him, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Is it fun to play tricks on me? Is it fun to watch me panic because of you? Dazai Osamu?"

“…”

Dazai Osamu's smile froze at the corner of his lips. His eyes fell on the corner of Shui Jiangyi's lips. He said, "I didn't lie to you."

"Yeah." Shui Jiangyi suspected that he was really angry and stupid, so in the end, he couldn't help laughing out loud, and recounted the past and the present, "Yeah, you have never lied to me. When have you ever lied to me?"

"You didn't lie to me in your past. You told me the truth about the world time and time again, and told me how the story would go. You made me realize that you were a fragile person time and time again, and I had to walk towards you willingly."

"You really didn't lie to me. We have accomplished a lot of things that I would never have done in my life if it weren't for you."

"You really didn't lie to me. You just never opened your heart to me and told me everything about yourself."

Shui Jiangyi raised his eyes and looked at Dazai Osamu: "Everything is my own fault. If I didn't believe in you so much, then nothing would have happened. If I didn't feel so confident that I could carry your soul, then..."

Dazai Osamu tried to explain something, but found that when he opened his mouth, Mizue Yi directly used gravity to break free from his arms.

It fell straight into the endless abyss below, directly breaking his entire space.

Dazai Osamu used a lot of strength to control this space and prevent the things in this space from harming Nakahara Chuuya. After he broke through the space, a muffled groan escaped from the corner of his lips.

Then he wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his lips and looked in the direction where Nakahara Chuuya left.

The wind blew up the black cape behind him, making Nakahara Chuuya look like he was flying in the air.

Dazai Osamu sighed: "Even if it means risking your own life, even if it means severely injuring me, you must stop my death."

"Chuuya, although you said those words to me when you escaped from me just now, but..."

"You still haven't given up on pulling me out of the abyss of fate. How can there be such a fool as you in this world?"

After being deceived countless times, when I reached out to you, you still grabbed my hand without hesitation and wanted to take me away from here.

Mizue Yi, who had escaped from Dazai Osamu, looked at the rooftop door that was so close to him. He took a deep breath and opened the door.

The howling wind from the rooftop immediately blew in, blowing up Shui Jiangyi's semi-long orange hair on his shoulders. Where the wind was loudest, he saw Dazai Osamu standing on the edge of the railing.

Shui Jiangyi could hardly control himself and shouted loudly: "Dazai Osamu!"

In the mottled night, he saw Dazai Osamu turning his head towards him.

At this time, Dazai Osamu was no longer dressed as the leader of the port mafia. He threw his black coat on the ground casually and wore only a simple white shirt that fluttered in the wind. He turned around and smiled faintly, seeming a little helpless, as if he had already foreseen it: "Really, didn't I tell him a long time ago? I must stop you, I don't want to say goodbye to you, Chuuya."

His voice was lazy and hoarse, and even had a hint of sarcasm that he would only use when joking with Nakahara Chuuya.

Shui Jiangyi held his breath and said, "Well, then can you not say goodbye to me?"

He looked into Dazai Osamu's eyes, and he held those iris-colored eyes tightly, trying to see the slightest sign of movement in those iris-colored eyes.

But no, not even the slightest shake.

Dazai Osamu opened his arms and fell from the building of the Port Mafia.

Shui Jiangyi hurriedly ran to the edge and tried to grab Dazai Osamu's hand like he did last time.

But this time, he was restrained again by the long-haired Dazai Osamu who was standing not far away.

He could only stand on the rooftop and look at Dazai Osamu silently, like a dead butterfly.

Swallowed up by the endless darkness.

There is no tomorrow.
