Chapter 104
The black-haired young man standing on the street was handsome, with the breeze blowing his soft, messy hair. I didn't know how long I had been looking at him.
What no one noticed was that standing next to the other person was Nakajima Atsushi, who was hugging a pole and shivering.
Ten minutes ago, they and Mr. Kunikida were working on the politician's side.
Nakajima Atsushi noticed that Mr. Dazai suddenly left the hall without any warning, as if he had discovered something, so he secretly followed him out and sneaked all the way here.
Now, he regrets it a little.
"Mr. Dazai, the person next to me is..."
"See the flow?"
Geto Xiayou's magnetic, deep voice interrupted the white-haired boy's explanation.
There was no doubt that Shen Du Jian Liu suddenly answered the phone right after he ended his embrace. While Xia Youjie was taking back his cassock, he took the opportunity to glance at the note on the other party's screen -
The best and most important friend in the world.
“…”
A false smile appeared on his handsome face beneath his strange bangs.
"Did someone suspicious call you?"
"Don't be fooled, see the flow."
"Come back with me first, I'll take you to take a hot bath."
These gentle words were clearly heard through the microphone.
Xia Youjie smiled and stretched out his right hand towards the white-haired boy holding the phone, indicating him to hang up.
…
The call was hung up on its own initiative.
Shen Du Jianliu lowered his eyes and looked at his phone. The only note in the contact list was lying alone on the screen.
The note was entered by Dazai Osamu when he accompanied her to buy a mobile phone yesterday. Shen Du saw that Ru didn't care about it, so he naturally let Dazai Osamu do whatever he wanted.
He can do whatever he likes.
But Geto Suguru didn't seem very happy.
"Jay, Mr. Dazai is not a dishonest person."
"He's the one I told you about before—"
Shen Du Jian Liu explained righteously: "The first friend I made."
"What?"
Xia Yujie was stunned.
He was originally still thinking, who was the person who left the note in Shen Du Jian Liu's phone...
Enlightenment?
Could it be that those two people had already met in advance and exchanged phone numbers?
However, the white-haired boy standing in front of him gave an unexpected answer.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Youjie noticed that Kamado Kenryu waved towards the intersection behind him, which was opposite the traffic light.
Xia Youjie turned around and followed the other person's gaze, and immediately noticed a white-haired boy with strange bangs.
The other person was hiding behind a telephone pole, wearing a white shirt and black uniform shorts, with the extra belt hanging behind his butt like a tail.
He cautiously stuck his head out and looked over here, seeming a little afraid to come over.
Next to the other person stood a handsome young man with his head down and his hands in his pockets.
Xia Youjie judged the direction and felt that Kamado Miru was not looking at the handsome, young and tall passerby.
"...Jianliu, who is he?"
The black-haired young man in a cassock narrowed his eyes and turned around to look at the ugly white-haired kid.
"He is the friend who called me just now."
Shen Du Jianliu generously introduced the identity of the other party.
Dazai Osamu and Geto Suguru were both desperate people to whom he needed to spread hope, and he actually never thought of letting these two people meet.
But there is no problem in meeting each other, and it is not a shameful relationship.
Just like himself and Oda Sakunosuke were both friends of Dazai Osamu, and they got along very well.
Kamado Miryu was certain that there was no foul play between himself, Oda Sakunosuke, and Mr. Sakaguchi Ango.
Similarly, he and Gojo Satoru are also friends of Geto Suguru, although Gojo doesn't seem to like him very much...
But the three of them are still friends, and Gojo Satoru did not refute his identity as the third friend in the end.
The only thing that worries Shen Du Jianliu is that the meeting of two desperate people may trigger an unnecessary chemical reaction and cause a cross infection.
But as long as I'm watching over it myself, there shouldn't be any problems.
While the pale-skinned, white-haired boy was introducing himself, Dazai Osamu had already put away his phone and walked over here with a brisk pace, following the passers-by crossing the road.
Nakajima Atsushi didn't dare to follow.
He had a hunch that it would be better for him not to get involved in such matters.
"Jianliu, why don't you call your little friend over here?"
Xia Youjie took the initiative to extend the invitation in a warm voice.
However.
A pair of slender hands wrapped in bandages suddenly reached out and placed their arms around Shen Du Jianliu's shoulders from behind in a very intimate manner.
Dazai Osamu smiled and tilted his head, looking at the opposite side with a cheerful tone:
"Oh, what's the matter with you?"
Xia Youjie: “…”
The air suddenly became quiet for a few seconds.
【What kind of scene is this? Stunned.jpg】
[I don’t know, but I think we should bring a Gojo Satoru]
[Hahahahahaha, Jie seemed dumbfounded. Zai: What are you doing? I am Jianliu's friend! 】
[I feel like Jie and Zai have similar personalities, they both smile and speak in a gentle tone]
[In front, Jie Ke can’t beat Zai! 】
Noticing that Kamado Kenryu did not deny it, Xia Youjie immediately narrowed his eyes again and looked down at the black-haired young man who looked like a pretty boy, was very literary and had no advantages at all.
The other person looks like a college student or a recent college graduate, who is at the age of being idle and careless.
Xia Youjie had never seen such an indecent person.
His slender eyes looked at Jianliu's shoulders that were being embraced, and he was on par with Wu.
Before the young man in the cassock could open his mouth to speak, Dazai Osamu's voice rang out again: "This monk——"
"You seem to be very familiar with our family's Jianliu, but don't worry."
“He has a place to live.”
"Does your family see the stream?"
A still smile also appeared on Geto Suguru's face.
"Yes." Dazai Osamu said in a serious tone, "He lives in my house."
"Well..."
He quickly scanned the man standing opposite with his kite-colored eyes: "It's much safer than places like temples or churches."
"At least I won't encounter any troublesome things."
“…”
The air fell into a silence that was even more stagnant than before.
【ah? Troublesome things? 】
[Oh my god, they are not talking about the cursed spirit, how did Zai find out? 】
[Can Zai see the cursed spirit?] ? But there is no curse spirit on Geto Suguru right now.]
[As expected of the script team, you guessed it? 】
"Mr. Dazai, this is Geto Suguru."
Shen Du Jianliu took the initiative to break the strange silence between the few people.
He explained to Dazai Osamu calmly: "Jie is very good, he is my second friend."
"After parting with you, I left the base and met the other party."
It is self-evident what event is being referred to.
Dazai Osamu's originally cheerful tone, which showed a smile in his eyes, suddenly became silent.
In the end, the meeting between the three people came to nothing.
Because Kunikida Doppo came over and angrily started roaring at a black-haired young man who neglected his duties.
It was not until he saw Kamado Kenryu standing next to him that his roar suddenly choked in his throat as if it was stuck.
Shen Du Jianliu politely nodded his chin at the other party.
He withdrew his gaze from Kunikida Doppo and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Geto Suguru's current mood, at least he could not be called desperate. The white-haired boy thought about it and decided to follow Dazai Osamu and leave here for the time being.
He went to Panxing Sect today to check on Geto Suguru's condition and whether he was dead or possessed by someone else as the comments said.
Fortunately, Jay seems to be fine.
But we can't just leave him alone now.
Because he is not sure whether the other party's despair is still there or has been eradicated, any attitude of his may cause Geto Suguru's despair to resurface.
After earnestly asking the black-haired young man in a cassock for his phone number, confirming his mood again and again and making an appointment to talk in detail later, Kamado Miru followed the people from the Armed Detective Agency and completely left the area.
I don't know why, but the way back was very quiet.
Let’s not talk about Nakajima Atsushi and Mr. Dazai for now…
The blond young man with glasses kept glancing over as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. When he saw Shen Du keenly catch his gaze and look at him puzzledly, he looked away in a very strange way.
It seems to have nothing to do with despair.
Can be ignored.
However, just in case, Shen Du Jianliu still reached out his hand, restrained his strength and gently pulled the sleeve of the black-haired young man: "Mr. Dazai."
"What happened to Mr. Kunikida?"
"Hmm? Ah, maybe the boy's heart is broken."
"It still bothers me now."
Dazai Osamu glanced at a certain man with glasses and waved his other hand, which was not being held, nonchalantly: "Kunikida-kun is just like that, let him be."
"Um."
Kamado Kenryu accepted the suggestion without any expression.
"Hey!! You bastard Dazai, I can hear you!"
The sound of Kunikida Doppo exploding was heard again.
He subconsciously looked at Shen Du Jianliu, as if he remembered something, and his hands holding the notebook wanted to grab his hair.
Through the recent cannibalism incident, Kunikida Doppo already knew that Dazai Osamu and the boy who was accidentally discovered as an experimental subject might know each other.
The other party saved them before the explosion. Judging from this action, Kamado Miru also recognized Dazai Osamu at that time.
but……
But yesterday's women's clothing...
"By the way, has Kunikida-kun solved the problem with that politician?"
Dazai Osamu interrupted his thoughts with a smile.
"How dare you ask!"
Kunikida Doppo was immediately drawn back to his attention by the black-haired young man. Thinking back to the work he had just done, his tone became even more unhappy: "Not yet."
"But I already know almost everything. Now all I have to do is investigate and confirm it. I came here because I found out that both of you were not around."
"Then let's just investigate now! Don't worry about these little details."
Dazai Osamu put his arm around Kunikida Doppo's shoulders and took him a little further away from a certain frail young man.
…
Kamado Kenru took out his cell phone to check the current time and planned to go and see it with Dazai Osamu.
In the end, it was already past 4 p.m. when they finished handling the entire incident.
It was almost time to get off work, and Dazai Osamu had no intention of returning to the detective agency. He stayed with Kamado Miru.
Avoiding Kunikida Doppo's reminder to go back and write a work report, the handsome black-haired young man glanced sideways at the white-haired boy with whom he had not communicated alone since noon. He did not mention the so-called second friend for the time being.
"See the flow."
"I just happened to be in Tokyo. Do you want to go to Lupin with me?"
"I haven't been here for a long time."
Lupin is a very quiet little bar located in Ginza, Tokyo.
That was a place Dazai Osamu often went to during his mafia days.
Of course, Kamado Miru couldn't refuse the invitation. He didn't forget that Oda Sakunosuke and Sakaguchi Ango would occasionally go there.
"OK."
I took a car to the Ginza area in Tokyo, pushed open the door of the familiar bar, and soft light immediately poured in.
The sound of the door hinge turning is particularly clear in this quiet space. The faint wood fragrance and the smell of alcohol are mixed together, and the soothing music adds a touch of elegance to the entire quiet bar.
The layout is almost the same as I remembered.
Unfortunately, maybe it was too early, there was no one in the bar.
Dazai Osamu walked over quickly without caring much, and sat down at the bar in a familiar tone: "Boss, give me a beer with detergent!"
"There is no such wine."
Lupin's boss looked very old, with gray hair, but the way he wiped the table showed no sign of old age or weakness.
He was not angry at the request made by the black-haired young man. He just closed his eyes and calmly rejected the order.
“Eh——”
"Halloween is coming soon, let's have a deadly pumpkin bar with death-defying poison!"
"There is no such wine."
The boss's good-tempered voice answered as usual.
"Really?"
"Well, there's really nothing I can do. Let's have a glass of ordinary whiskey."
Dazai Osamu just gave two examples and then stopped. It was obvious that he had no intention of making things difficult for the other party.
He propped his arms on the bar and looked back thoughtfully at the white-haired boy who followed him.
"Um……"
Unlike the temptation hidden in the light eyes in his memory, the black-haired young man took the initiative to pull out the stool beside him and directly made the decision for Shen Du Jianliu.
"When you see a stream, drink tomato juice!"
"Ango has drunk it before, it should taste pretty good."
"Mr. Dazai, I can drink..."
"no."
Dazai Osamu suddenly spoke, smiled, raised his slender index finger, and placed it in front of the pale boy's lips from a distance of a few centimeters.
"What if I hurt my stomach?"
"Ah, come to think of it, Jianliu hasn't taken any painkillers today..."
"OK."
Shen Du Jianliu sat next to the other person very obediently and said honestly: "I will listen to Mr. Dazai."
He glanced at the chaotic comments and added calmly:
"It's so kind of you."
The air became completely quiet, with only the melodious music lingering overhead.
The two people stopped talking.
In this quiet and peaceful atmosphere, Dazai Osamu took the wine glass handed to him by the boss, lowered his eyes to look at the huge ice ball in the glass, his brown eyes were obscured by the shadow cast by his bangs.
"See the flow..."
His voice was a soft whisper, like chewing words.
"Besides me, there are other friends I don't know."
Shen Du Jian Liu: "..."
Recalling what happened on the street at noon, he put down the cup of tomato juice that his boss had just handed him and turned to look at the black-haired young man sitting next to him.
"What do you mean by troublesome things, Mr. Dazai?"
"Can you see that kind of thing?"
"Well, I can't do that."
"I guess I cheated him."
Dazai Osamu extended his slender palm expressionlessly and poked the ice ball with his index finger, saying, "Because it's easy to guess."
"Wearing a monk's robe means that he lives in a temple, but as far as I know, there is no temple nearby."
“There just happened to be a shell company on that stretch of road that was running a fairly large church.”
"That means the other party can only be from that church."
"Also, he had muscles and calluses from intense training. A normal person definitely wouldn't have that much muscle mass, and he didn't carry any weapons like guns."
"Considering the nature of the church, they look a lot like people from the world of spells, don't they?"
"But I don't know much about the world of magic either. I was just lying."
Judging from the other party's silence, I might have guessed right.
Dazai Osamu finally put away the fingers that were poking at the ice and looked sideways at the boy sitting next to him.
His voice was very light and his tone was somewhat meaningful as he said, "It seems that Jianliu knows the rules over there very well."
"Can you see the so-called cursed spirit?"
"Besides, Jianliu hasn't told me yet."
The black-haired young man withdrew his gaze, continued to lower his eyes and stroke the rim of the cup in his hand, with the corners of his mouth raised without any trace of a gentle smile.
"How did you meet your second friend?"
Dazai Osamu did not forget Kamado Miru's previous answer.
[They met after they separated and left the base], which means that Kamado Miru did not stay in the experimental chamber all the time.
In other words, he may not have been "resurrected" in recent time.
If I were to make a bold guess, perhaps before his death four years ago... or even before his death, a backup body of Kamado Miryu already existed.
He narrowed his colored eyes, and there was a bit of scrutiny in his gaze as he looked at the white-haired boy.
"I……"
Just as Shen Du Jianliu was about to explain, a familiar mechanical voice suddenly popped up in his mind.
[System: It’s broken, anchor! ]
[System: Someone wants to subdue your spirit! ]
What?
Interrupted by this sudden voice, Shen Du Jianliu frowned slightly.
[System: Although I really don’t want to disturb you at this time, I must remind you now that someone is summoning the host’s soul. ]
[System: We are only responsible for protecting the host's soul. If someone wants to transfer it away, we cannot intervene...]
[System: This means that your current soul will be extracted from this body. ]
[System: Of course, the host is a living person after all. This withdrawal is only temporary. You can come back when the time is up or the spell is lifted over there. ]
Procedure.
Kamado Miru noticed this word, but he did not ask the system because Dazai Osamu was sitting next to him waiting for his answer.
Time was a bit urgent, so he had to explain to the other party first.
"Mr. Dazai, I..."
Before he could finish his words, the technique that the system had reminded him of had already been fully activated.
Shen Du Jian Liu's voice stopped in mid-air, and he immediately lost the strength to control this body -
He fell directly onto the cold bar counter in front of the black-haired young man.
