What is death?
As a suicide addict, he is always pursuing death.
He wanted to be liberated, but this world had no meaning for him to live in and no value at all.
Living like a zombie in the world, all alone, isn't this kind of life very painful?
He was never afraid of death, he longed for it so much.
...But why?
He has not yet had the eternal sleep he had always dreamed of. Why hasn't he, a suicide addict, died yet? His friend who dreamed of becoming a novelist, waiting until his children could support themselves, quitting the port mafia, living in a house with a view of the sea, and writing his own novels with pen and paper, why did he just leave like that?
That's too much, if Mr. God really exists.
Let those who want to live die, and let those who want to die live.
...What is death?
It is the blood that can never be stopped and keeps flowing, the body that can never be warmed up and gradually becomes cold and stiff, and the life that can never be retained and is passing away.
Although I had closed my eyes, everything I had seen before still appeared clearly in my mind.
Stained glass shattered and fell from the ceiling after being shot by the mecha warehouse, bullet holes like a honeycomb on the floor, and the bodies of soldiers lying in the dance hall.
And ever since he pushed open the oak door, he couldn't take his eyes off the bright red liquid flowing down the red-haired man lying on the ground and then slowly seeping into the cracks in the floor.
It was as if Oda Sakunosuke had transferred all the vitality in his red hair into that bright red, and the beautiful red hair of the past became like dead grass, lifeless, withered and listless.
The words Oda Sakunosuke spoke under his breath made Dazai realize for the first time that his understanding of himself had exceeded his own imagination [1]. Oda Sakunosuke was already standing in front of the closed door of his heart, just a door away. If he pushed it open gently, he would be able to see [all of him].
But this healing man, Oda Sakunosuke, who could do this, has passed away.
He showed him a way and left.
I don't want him to die, but no matter how powerful my supernatural powers are, I can't snatch that person back from the god of death.
That's enough.
141.
It's another rainy day.
Yokohama is a beautiful but dangerous city. It has a charming blue harbor, sparkling sea views, and chaos caused by frequent fights between various forces. Ordinary people living here have lived in this city where people with special abilities fight all the time for a long time, so their psychological quality must be higher than that of people in other cities.
The sky in Yokohama is often a pure blue, as blue as a mirror. But despite such a pure sky, when watching it from the Mafia site in the port, I always feel an inexplicable sense of depression.
Not to mention the heavy rain and dark clouds that are shrouding the sky now.
Oda Sakunosuke walked back to his residence along the port road, carrying the food he bought from the supermarket in one hand and holding an umbrella in the other.
As the lowest-ranking member of the Port Mafia, Oda Sakunosuke also went to do some odd jobs today, but it was on days like these that he could catch his breath.
If he was like his friend Dazai, he would have a headache.
He was already familiar with the scenery along the way, but he would occasionally stop and look at it quietly for a few seconds.
Because he wanted to be a novelist, and one of the professional qualities of a novelist is to be good at observation. Even in ordinary scenery, he can see something different and write his own words based on it.
Therefore, he found that the bushes on the side of the road were different from before. They were not formed by heavy rain. It seemed that something had hit them directly, crushing some branches.
Oda Sakunosuke did not hesitate and followed the traces of destruction, and then he found a boy in a coma behind the bushes.
The boy looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, a little younger than Dazai, and he was wearing a military uniform that a normal person could hardly tell was an erotic uniform, but someone familiar with the operations of some underground black areas could tell at a glance that it was an erotic military uniform, and there were some untreated wounds on his body.
He was sleeping unconsciously, his wet black hair sticking to his face, his mouth was pursed and his brows were wrinkled. Even in a coma, he seemed unable to get rid of the disturbance of his worries.
The boy was exposed to the heavy rain because he had no protection. He was soaking wet and his clothes were sticking to his body.
Showing up at the port Mafia's site in this state... can't help but make one's mind wander.
However, Oda Sakunosuke seemed to have seen nothing and thought of nothing. He just stared blankly, then moved the shopping bag to the hand holding the umbrella, hooked the bag with his elbow, still holding the umbrella in one hand, and used his free other hand to help the fallen boy up.
In the rain, the two figures walked farther and farther away until they disappeared.
When Yao Yan woke up from his daze, he felt dizzy and painful, as if he had a hangover, and his throat was dry and painful.
He found himself being taken home by a kind person again, and woke up in a house again. Maybe he would be a little surprised at first, but now the overly familiar process has made him numb.
Which world am I in now? Where are Xiaotui and Luan? I remember they followed me here too.
If Gokotai and Randoshiro had landed here at the same time as him, the kind-hearted person who saved him would most likely have placed them both by his side.
If they are not awake, you can see them on the other bed. If they are awake, according to their personalities, they will also stay by your side.
But when Yaoyan stood up and looked around, he didn't see the two familiar figures.
As if seeing through his thoughts, the system prompt sounded at this moment.
“Sizzle—sizzle—”
"The jump to another world has been completed. The sword dance game system is at your service. The current time and space is "That sinful man - oh~ If I'm alone, I can't die for love~"
...What's wrong? Does every world have its own voice? But why does this line of lyrics seem familiar? Is it from an anime he has watched?
But now is not the time to dwell on this. Yao Yan silently said in his heart: "System, where are Xiaotai and Luan? I remember they followed us before the jump to the other world."
Yaoyan didn't know whether the system would reply or not, so he just gave it a try. But the system unexpectedly replied to him.
"The player "Goku·Yakuken Toushirou" is in the timeline "four years ago" before the main plot of this world begins to advance. Teammates "Gokotai" and "Ran Toushirou" are in the timeline when the main plot begins. They need to complete the tasks in this time period before they can return to the normal plot line time and space."
"What about their safety during this period? Can it be guaranteed?" Although the sword master is very powerful, Yaken is still worried. He is not sure which world they will travel to. What if it is a fight between gods and magic? How can the two children withstand such a level of battle?
"There is no blade threat from "Guokotsu" and "Randōshiro" for the time being, and the area they are in is also within the protection range of the Children of the World in this world, so please rest assured."
Yao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
To him, the swordsmen of Honmaru are like his relatives and friends, especially the Awataguchi family, who are cherished in his heart. If Gokotai and Rantoshiro had any accidents because of following him through time, he would never forgive himself.
But the current system... seems to have a bit more popularity than before? It no longer feels like a simple intelligent system.
Before he could think any more, the specific mission content appeared on the game panel.
"【World Deviation】Due to the invasion and conspiracy of the Time Travel Army on the history of this time and space, it is predicted that the plot line and the if line of the parallel world will be seriously deviated. The anchor point of history has been found to be the time period of "four years ago", and the player "Goku Yaken Toushirou" has been dispatched to arrive.
In order to avoid certain world pillars with the innate buffs of "Truth Dialysis" or "Eye of Humanity", so as not to expose the existence of the system and the true identity of the player (including the role of "player"), we will no longer provide clues directly, but there are still clue keywords. Players are requested to correct the deviated plot line and get it back on track.
The mission difficulty is five stars.
Note: After completing this task, the player will jump directly to the normal timeline after one minute. Energy mutation may occur when jumping between time and space, but it is just a minor problem.
Known clue keywords: [Gray Ghost], [Decisive Battle]."
"The mission scope of [World Pillar's Wish] overlaps with the previous mission. The strong wish of one of the children of the world has been detected. The world will has agreed to his request for help. The fate of non-world pillars can be changed, but it must be completed on the basis of maintaining the destined direction.
The mission difficulty is four stars.
Note: After completing this task, you will receive 1 mysterious treasure chest, and the system will also send you compensation for this emergency task.
Known clue keywords: [human detritus], [spicy curry].
This time the mission was longer than the last one in the world of science, and everywhere it showed how difficult the mission was. There might even be some tricks, such as the weird tilde. Whether it was the mission description or the clue keywords, they all gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember what they were.
Regardless, the pharmaceutical research team analyzed these two tasks carefully.
If the scope of the two missions overlaps, it means that he has to maintain important historical anchors on the one hand - according to the past style of the Time Travel Army and the clues revealed in the first mission, this is either the time when characters such as the pillars of the world are the most vulnerable, or when some key figures die. According to the supplement of the second mission, it can be proved that it is the moment of death of a key character who is [not a pillar of the world] but is extremely important and may be a turning point in the plot line.
He also had to act as an "alternative time traveler" and save the character who was supposed to die in the first mission.
It is worthy of being labeled a five-star emergency mission, allowing him to do two jobs at the same time. God, really God.
At this moment, a pharmaceutical researcher has lost his passion for work.
No, Xiao Tui and Luan are still waiting for me. Yao Yan patted his cheeks with both hands. His hands were not cool, but his face felt strangely hot when he touched it.
My head became more and more dizzy.
Before he could figure it out, he heard the doorknob being opened with a click, and a young man with burgundy hair walked out.
He held a cup of warm water and a row of pills in his hand. "You're awake. You have a fever. Take the medicine quickly."
"……Who are you?"
"Ah, don't worry about the danger. I'm safe here." The man sat down beside the bed and reached out to touch his forehead like he was checking the temperature of a child. "My name is Oda Sakunosuke. I saw you fainted on the side of the road and brought you back."
Oh, it's Oda Sakunosuke.
Wait, Oda... Sakunosuke???
When ordinary people hear this name, they may think that the man in front of them is a famous Japanese writer in the three-dimensional world, but as a fan of the two-dimensional world, Yaken immediately thought that he was a character in a popular anime.
It's not because he is addicted to the two-dimensional world, but because he is knowledgeable and knows that Mr. Oda in the three-dimensional world is not a man with killer hair.
No wonder he said the system's description of the world was so familiar.
Isn't he the knife-like character in "Bungo Stray Dogs" who was recommended to him by his gay friend in his previous life, and he refused indifferently at first, but then he became more and more addicted to it because he was bored, and then he started to read the comics and novels.
Very good, after knowing what kind of anime world this was, he also understood what his mission was to do.
The original hell-level difficulty dropped a lot in an instant...bullshit.
Thinking about what happened in the original work, Yakuin found life more and more difficult.
He was not good at dealing with the black mud spirits at all, but since he was picked up and taken home by Oda Sakunosuke, it was impossible for him not to meet Dazai Osamu. In addition, there was something strange about him, which would most likely attract the other party's attention and bad taste. It would only take a few minutes for him to reveal his identity, not to mention hiding the mission.
No matter what, he had to be prepared to battle wits with Dazai Osamu.
Although a lot of information flashed through his mind, in reality it was only three or four seconds. In Oda Sakunosuke's eyes, after hearing what he said, the other party was not as alert as when he saw him enter the door before.
Maybe it’s because he is not famous and is just an ordinary kind-hearted person.
The author has something to say: ① The flashback technique + foreshadowing at the beginning is the anchor point where the deviation occurs. Pay attention: Oda Sakunosuke is not dead, and he is not resurrected. The 141 plots are [always] happening, not limited to after Yakuin arrives.
②［1］The sentence is from Bungo Stray Dogs 2: Dazai Osamu and the Dark Ages, translated by Taiwan Publishing House.
③ Wenye World's imagination about Yaken is based on the fact that after hiding his real identity, he revealed the alias of "Swordsman: The God of Death". In addition to Yaken's own operation, there is also a little help from the system (erasing the traces of crossing this broken dimensional wall), so it is not that the IQ of those men has dropped.
