Chapter 91: Dead Tree Revived 10

The fighting downstairs was fierce, with the sounds of fighting coming one after another; upstairs was dead silent, with the battle about to break out.

How to save?

Facing the powerful Nakahara Chuuya, Hoshino Nozomi hurriedly stood in front of Dazai Osamu, fearing that if he was not careful, Nakahara Chuuya would knock Dazai Osamu away.

He tried to comfort her: "Listen to me, these are all misunderstandings."

"Misunderstanding?" Nakahara Chuuya asked back, "You voluntarily left the unconscious Akutagawa behind and came to the detective agency?"

Hoshino Nozomi was silent for a moment.

If the answer is yes, the system will judge it as ooc; if the answer is no, it will confirm his previous lie.

Nakahara Chuuya sneered.

He held out his hand, motioning Narcida to come over.

The girl hesitated for a moment, and with Dazai Osamu's eyes saying "Don't leave me——", she resolutely walked to Nakahara Chuuya's side.

She hinted with her eyes: "Don't worry, I have my own way."

Dazai Osamu was not relieved.

Because Nakahara Chuuya picked up Nashida and kicked him in the face without saying a word.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone in the face, let alone such a handsome face, a slug can actually do it! Dazai Osamu covered his face, and it was reasonable to suspect that he had a personal grudge and was taking revenge.

Nakahara Chuuya: "Even if this is a misunderstanding, what about the last time and the time before that? You deserve a beating!"

See, slugs are so petty, Dazai Osamu thought to himself. Even a magnanimous person like him has already forgotten what happened last time and the time before that.

Avoiding the gap, he quickly glanced at Nashida, trying to find the "solution" she mentioned from her face.

As soon as Nashida met his eyes, Zhongyuan Zhongya pressed her head back into his neck.

Nakahara Chuuya narrowed his eyes dangerously: "What evil ideas are you planning again?"

Dazai Osamu: “…”

When did slugs become so smart? Narcida, say something! Narcida!

After a long commotion, Dazai Osamu still couldn't guess what Nashida's solution was. While he was wondering how he had offended the Little Grass King, he was also trying to find ways to make peace with the members downstairs.

The goal of the Port Mafia is to bring back King Xiaocao, not to start a formal war with the Armed Detective Agency. There is still room for the situation to turn around. Perhaps, he can find a reason to send Chuuya Nakahara away.

It's time to test your acting skills.

Dazai Osamu suddenly laughed: "The Port Mafia hasn't changed at all, it's still the same as always..."

He deliberately concealed the rest of the words, with a sly gleam in his eyes, waiting for the other party to take the bait.

Nakahara Chuuya suddenly stopped and his expression changed.

What is the same as always? Reckless, violent, or... deceptive?

Dazai Osamu once caused the Port Mafia a lot of trouble. He loved to play tricks on people behind the scenes. After a long time, everyone was a little nervous.

Nakahara Chuuya hesitated for a moment, then kicked the desk against the door to block Dazai Osamu's escape, then took out his cell phone to confirm the situation with the leader.

While he was distracted, Dazai Osamu winked at Nashida, who understood and used a green vine as thin as a hair to quickly drill into the hole of the phone, destroying the internal structure.

The whole process took only a few seconds, and Dazai Osamu almost cried over the tacit understanding between him and Narcida.

"You——" Nakahara Chuuya glared, "Dazai! When did you do this?!"

"Think about it yourself, you brainless slug~"

Nakahara Chuuya's face darkened.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, to Nakahara Chuuya, who had been cheated many times, Dazai Osamu was indeed so smart that he could do anything.

They were unable to contact headquarters at the moment, and now that they had successfully rescued their target, it was time for them to retreat.

"I won't let you off so easily next time!" Nakahara Chuuya said harshly, activated his supernatural powers, and with a few leaps, he took Nashida and disappeared between the high-rise buildings.

The sounds of fighting downstairs also died down. Dazai heaved a sigh of relief, and with great effort he moved the heavy desk at the door. He opened the door, and the sunlight poured in.

Dazai Osamu suddenly opened his eyes.

There was a soft sofa beneath me, the clock was ticking, and an hour had passed since the Mafia broke into the port.

He... fell asleep? When? No... impossible, he had no recollection of it at all...

Dazai Osamu stood up suddenly and looked around.

The windows were wide open, with glass scattered all over the floor like broken snow, indicating that Nakahara Chuuya had indeed been there; but other than that, the layout of the detective agency was no different from usual, and the door leading to the first floor showed no signs of being damaged.

Most importantly…

Dazai Osamu touched his face and found it was very smooth, without any redness or swelling.

He was not beaten.

Dazai Osamu had a bad feeling in his heart, he got off the bed and hurried to the first floor.

"Atsushi-kun, Kunikida—"

The rest of the words were stuck in my throat.

The cafe downstairs was in a mess, with traces of fighting everywhere, but the shop owner, employees, and detectives were all sleeping peacefully on the sofas that were still intact, breathing slowly, sleeping peacefully, and some even had a faint smile on their lips. The port Mafia was nowhere to be seen.

A very bizarre scene.

For the first time, Dazai Osamu felt his scalp tingling, as if a thin electric current was running through his brain, causing a hidden but real shudder.

——Don't worry, you can trust me.

So, this is Nashida’s plan: let everyone fall into a silent sleep and weave a grand "dream".

I'm afraid that the moment Zhongyuan Zhongye broke in, the "dream-making" had already begun, and he had just been fighting wits and courage with the air - no, was he really himself in the dream? Were his thoughts really his thoughts, and not guided or even forcibly implanted?

Dazai Osamu thought of Narcida's gentle eyes and smile, like peach blossoms clustered into pink balls in spring, swaying with a sweet and harmless fragrance. But such a gentle existence could do something horrible without hesitation, which made him shudder.

Mind control has always been the most feared ability.

As a psychic, Q, who has many restrictions when activated, is so feared that he is locked in a confinement room all the time. How much fear will a god that cannot be restrained bring to people?

Hunters who have walked in the forest for a long time know that the most dangerous are often not tigers, leopards, jackals, or wolves, but insects hidden in the branches and grass. They look fragile, but they are actually deadly. From this point of view, Nashida is much more dangerous than the previous gods.

After the initial shudder, Dazai Osamu suddenly smiled.

The "rat" probably doesn't know what kind of opponent he will face... Thinking of this, even Fyodor's cunning and evil face became much funnier.

Dazai Osamu was in a good mood and found an empty seat to sit down. He was thinking about how to fulfill the contract with the God of Grass and send himself to prison, while waiting for the members to wake up.

The first person to wake up was Kunikida Doppo.

The young man suddenly jumped up and bumped into Dazai Osamu, who had no time to dodge.

"You want to hurt me as soon as you wake up. You have such a cruel heart, Kunikida-kun!"

"What? Dazai?" Kunikida Dopo was dazed for a moment, "Why are you here?"

"Shouldn't I be here?"

"After you beat the Mafia at the port, didn't you hold my legs and cry bitterly, swear to God that you would turn over a new leaf and work to pay off your debts?"

Dazai Osamu: “?”

Nashida, what kind of dream did you give Kunikida?

Kunikida Dobu reacted belatedly. He was shocked like Dazai Osamu at first, then he looked Dazai Osamu up and down with a look of regret, and finally sighed heavily.

Dazai Osamu smiled wryly: "If you miss that 'me', you can continue to sleep, maybe you can dream about it."

Kunikida Dopo sighed again and said, "Beautiful dreams are hard to come by."

Dazai Osamu: “…”

After a while, Nakajima Atsushi slowly opened his eyes, and Dazai Osamu's face first appeared in front of him: "Are you awake? Welcome to the real world."

"Ah, ah? What real world?"

"Atsushi-kun, what happened just now?"

Although he didn't understand why, Nakajima Atsushi still answered obediently: "I seem to have beaten Akutagawa... No, not seem, I really beat him up... Although I was very happy just now, but now I think about it, it seems a bit strange? After all, I'm not strong enough to pin Akutagawa to the ground and beat him..."

Dazai Osamu stroked the boy's white hair and could almost imagine what Akutagawa dreamed.

It must be...

"Human-Tiger! Your doom has come!"

At the same time, Port Mafia.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke growled fiercely, and just as he finished speaking, there were several coughs from all around, as if someone was trying to hold back laughter.

Narcida smiled the happiest: "Are you awake?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke: “?”

Why is he here? Wasn't he beating up a tiger in the detective agency?
