Chapter 140 Viewing Experience (Part 4): When Those Past Events Are Bringed to the Screen
After a brief exchange, the alternate personality Fyodor put his hands together and asked his newly acquainted fellow inmate, Oda Sakunosuke, to teach him Japanese.
Meanwhile, Edogawa Ranpo, who was resolving the [Angel Murder] incident, also ran into trouble, forcing the Silver Wolf Swordsman who was looking after him to seek help from Oda Sakunosuke.
In return, the silver wolf swordsman promised to use his resources to release them, and at Oda Sakunosuke's behest, agreed to also help the alternate personality, Fyodor, obtain legal identification.
It was at this time that Fyodor, the penniless and wandering man, became friends with Oda Sakunosuke, the silent, reserved, and solitary assassin.
The three adult Dazai Osamu present were all dumbfounded by this scene, their eyes wide open.
"The Siberian rat actually managed to take advantage of the situation," Dazai Armed Detective muttered. "That wretched little rat actually used its ultimate weapon, 'Please, please, please,' on Odasaku..."
"Ugh! How could I have to witness such a nightmare scene! Odasaku, Odasaku, you're so easily fooled..."
If it weren't for the invisible wall blocking the way, Dazai, the executive who happened to be watching the movie with Oda Sakunosuke, would have already wanted to go up and shake his airheaded friend's shoulders.
But he couldn't do it, so he could only clench his fists against the invisible wall between him and Oda Sakunosuke, like a cat scratching at a window or door with its front paws, his expression filled with resentment and disappointment towards Oda Sakunosuke.
Oda Sakunosuke sincerely explained to him, "No... I really didn't know him before."
"So what's being shown on the screen is actually a possibility from another world?"
The most experienced leader, Dazai, let out a barely audible chuckle. "This is a world that has never been recorded in the books. I'm starting to get interested."
What kind of future will Oda Sakunosuke in this world lead to?
but……
"Isn't this alternate personality, Fyodor, a bit pitiful? Because the skills between the two personalities aren't interchangeable, he wakes up in Russia and is forced to learn Russian, and wakes up in Japan and is forced to learn Japanese..."
"You're really working hard to learn the language..."
"What does it mean that he called that Oda-kun '[Curry Sage]'? Is he a god who governs the deliciousness of curry?"
"I get the feeling that he's a god who only eats curry..."
"Unexpectedly, Natsume-sensei, who is usually so shrewd and resourceful, actually went out of his way to contact Fyodor, who was learning Japanese, and was so surprised that he was on high alert."
Mori Ou crossed his legs, leaned forward, and watched with great interest.
"They were probably wary of the danger from the [demon] and never expected that the other party was actually unable to understand the language... Haha, even the teacher can be fooled one day."
This segment of Oda Sakunosuke and Fyodor's life, shown on screen, presents a gentle, harmonious flow—except for the calico cat, who is startled twice in a row.
And that novel that Oda Sakunosuke handed to his alternate personality, Fyodor, and used as a Japanese language learning textbook...
“Ah, that’s a novel I read before,” Oda Sakunosuke, now a low-ranking member of the Port Mafia, exclaimed suddenly, “and it was also the key moment that made me give up being an assassin…”
In the end, the character on screen focused on taking on missions and making money, never read the novel, and even gave it directly to Fyodor?
In this way, he might continue to be an assassin and never have the chance to have the idea of [trying to write a novel].
Oda Sakunosuke felt a little uneasy, but he didn't find it hard to accept—perhaps because his heart had already been satisfied before he even got the novel.
That alone was enough to entice him to keep reading.
The alternate personality Fyodor encounters Edogawa Ranpo passing by in a teahouse and is alerted to the remnants of the [V] organization, but it is too late.
When Fyodor, the alter ego who was drugged and rendered unconscious, wakes up, he will face five vicious criminals.
There were also five dishes.
On screen, the alternate personality Fyodor's physical skills are unparalleled. His beatings are both fluid and pleasing to the eye. He takes down five [V] organization remnants who are much stronger than him in no time, and still has the leisure to sit in a chair and make a call to the police.
And everyone off-screen, from the moment Fyodor used his newly learned skill to secretly unlock the door, brace himself against the back of the chair to flip himself up, and completely turn the tide of the attack, maintained an expression of disbelief throughout.
"…………"
Pushkin was particularly impressed by "The House of the Dead," his mouth agape in amazement.
Is this still the same weak and anemic BOSS he used to be?
Pushkin maintained his shocked expression, turned his head to look at the silent BOSS, then turned his head back to look at the alternate personality Fyodor on the screen.
They all look like the same face... but the difference is just too big!?
[Just as Fyodor was calling the police, his personality switched, and the dominant personality regained control of his body.]
However, the master, Griffith, faced with the five men who had already been subdued, chose to incite them to commit suicide in extreme fear with just a few words.
Furthermore, he invited Oda Sakunosuke, who arrived late, to join [The House of the Dead]—which was unsurprisingly rejected.
Oda Sakunosuke clearly distinguished between the two personalities, thus providing the main personality, Fyodor, who was originally only testing the waters, with concrete information.
Then, the camera pans between light and shadow, turning towards France.
This time, the alternate personality Fyodor awakens during a bank robbery, and through this encounter, he meets Granny Bernhardt, who rescued him. Once again, penniless and stranded in a foreign land, he is taken in by her.
And in that apartment, there was a special guest.
Ango Sakaguchi pushed up his glasses with an expression of admiration. "To be honest, I admire his fighting skills, his perseverance in learning several foreign languages, and his ability to make friends wherever he goes."
With those social skills and physical abilities, she'd be more than qualified to be an intelligence agent or special agent in the Special Abilities Department...
"It's a good thing you didn't agree to join the 'House of the Dead', Oda Sakunosuke."
The executive, Dazai, stared intently at Oda Sakunosuke beside him—Oda Sakunosuke was certain that even if he were to defuse a dud bomb that could explode at any moment, he probably wouldn't have such a serious expression.
"You must be very careful of the [demon's] traps; that [demon] is cunning and treacherous."
"Hmm... Dazai, it's no use emphasizing it to me..." Oda Sakunosuke sat on the sofa and silently looked up at the ceiling.
"I'm not the one who knows that Fyodor."
Moreover, the alternate personality Fyodor on screen looks quite good, so if it were him...
If the audience members in the front were only concerned about Oda Sakunosuke, then the "Port Mafia" members in the back had much more serious expressions.
Especially the one on the far right, who had remained silent until now but sat up straight, was one of the five key officials, Paul Verlaine.
“I don’t remember ever meeting him, let alone teaching him French.”
Verlaine spoke slowly and deliberately, revealing a calm that suggested he was already quite old: "It's unbelievable that I in the film was fooled by such a little trick."
“It seems…that is indeed the case,” Mori Ougai replied silently.
Verlaine: "…………"
"Do you remember this incident?" Mori Ougai asked.
“Yes,” Verlaine began, “I successfully killed the Bernhardt family.”
The moment they heard Sartre Bernhardt utter the name [Mimic], not only Mori Ōgai, but also Boss Dazai and Armed Detective Dazai reacted simultaneously.
What happened next was even more unexpected.
Following the tactical plan of his alternate personality, Fyodor, Ivan successfully stalled Verlaine, who wanted to assassinate Bernhardt, and offered him a deal.
But this was followed by the awakening of the main personality, Fyodor, who became fully aware of the existence of the alternate personality.
Then, in order to force the emergence of the alternate personality, the main personality, Fyodor, returned to the apartment and shot Bernhard.
He succeeded.
"[I've found you]"—this line of Russian, accompanied by sharp pain and spilled blood, appears on the camera's lens, on the left forearm of the forcibly awakened alternate personality.
"………………"
Both on and off screen were silent.
All eyes, whether overt or covert, were drawn toward Fyodor, the unspoken thoughts likely being, "You actually hurt yourself so badly!?" and "As expected of you..."
Fyodor: "…………"
In the dimly lit studio, he slowly touched his left forearm.
That spot was perfectly smooth, and he had never had any contact with Verlaine—in the film's content, everything was a result of the variables brought about by that alternate personality.
Immediately afterwards, the alternate personality Fyodor asked Sartre Bernhardt to clear the name of the falsely accused [Mimic] and, in order to obtain the [Secret of the Gentle Forest] that Verlaine needed, went to England to find clues.
He diligently studied English and successfully made contact with Mary Shelley, who was developing Project [Adam], and engaged in a subtle confrontation with Agatha Christie in order to apply for a job as her assistant.
From Mary Shelley, he did not uncover the secret of the Gentle Forest, but he learned of an even greater secret.
With Mary Shelley's help, he returned to Japan as a researcher, ostensibly for academic exchange, but in reality to gather intelligence.
"What!?"
When the word "mother" was uttered, 80% of the people present were so shocked that they blurted it out.
"!!"
Verlaine instinctively tried to get up and leave, but was forced back onto the sofa by a gentle, restraining force.
"If we follow this logic, then Chuuya, you..."
Both Dazai the executive and Dazai the armed detective subtly glanced at Chuuya the executive.
The cadres were instantly enraged by the gazes of the two Dazai.
What are you looking at me for!
"Oh... since you're calling Verlaine 'brother,' it wouldn't be wrong to call Miss Shelley 'mommy' too."
"I am innocent," said the cadre, Dazai.
Even though he and this executive were actually a few years apart in age, he could still effortlessly flirt with the other person until they were blushing and jumping up and down.
"Who's shouting like that?!"
"But look, they've already gone all the way back to Japan from England to interrogate Researcher N and get the data out of him."
Dazai, the executive who had experienced the [Assassination King] incident, shook his index finger. "Tsk tsk, that N researcher was shot pretty badly by Oda Sakunosuke, all to avenge you."
Cadre Nakaya: "…………"
Presumably to prevent misuse by malicious individuals, the information regarding Verlaine and Chuuya's singularity release in this confession section has been censored.
However, this handling is insignificant and does not affect everyone's enjoyment of this exceptionally dramatic ethical drama.
"So it turns out that Zhong is also Huangba Tu. Phew, the incident is already 90% resolved before it even started."
Even fifteen-year-old Dazai, who had not yet joined the Port Mafia, couldn't resist teasing Chuuya, the "King of Sheep," who was standing next to him.
"After we get out of here, how about we take you to find your brother and mother?"
This [King of Sheep] hasn't experienced many events yet, but suddenly he hears the truth he's been searching for so long, and someone even seeks revenge for him.
At this moment, his emotions were far more complex and volatile than those of his other self.
However, there is one point of consensus between China and Yemen that will not change.
"...What I do is none of your business, you bandaged bastard!"
————————
I highly recommend my friend Liu Chu's novel, "I Was Beaten at 5:20 and Called Daddy at 13:14," the pairing is so sweet!
The text is as follows:
Five-year-old Nakahara Chiri transmigrates and immediately faces a terrifying cursed spirit.
System: [You've been bound to the 'Daddy' system! Encounter difficulties? Immediately summon your daddy to help you slay an enemy! After defeating the King of Curses, you can go home!]
Chiri Nakahara's father is an ordinary office worker, burdened with many responsibilities and a tough life, working overtime every day;
Another father is said to have passed away early, and the grass on his grave is already three meters high.
A hardworking father, a father who died young, a young boy, and a broken home.
Haha, it's over.
...
At the critical moment—
His overworked father made a grand entrance, blasting a top-tier cursed spirit to pieces with a single punch, sending sand and stones flying everywhere in 0.01 seconds.
The hem of her black trench coat billowed in an arc as she turned and left.
Nakahara Chiri was stunned.
The sorcerers who rushed to the rescue were also stunned by the child sitting there in a daze and the remnants of a top-grade cursed spirit scattered all over the ground.
Sorcerers: This child's talent is extraordinary and terrifying!
Chirei Nakahara: Although I don't quite understand the situation either, that's actually my dad...
Sorcerers: Still so humble!
Nakahara Qianli:......
-
During another chase, Chire Nakahara unexpectedly summoned another father she had never met.
The boss of an evil organization, the ruler of the underworld.
The rumored man is terrifying, almost demonic in his intelligence, and manipulating people's hearts is easier for him than breathing.
The two faced a super-level cursed spirit, a catastrophe-level threat.
If it's him, surely he can find a way? Nakahara Chiri's eyes gleamed with hope.
Then, the cheap old man, dressed in a black trench coat and a red scarf, lay down slowly with a smile on his face, offering no resistance.
Dazai: "Dying in a different way is quite novel, so let's do it this way."
Nakahara Qianli:? ? ? !
This father actually brought this upon himself!
-
Chire Nakahara's two fathers are mortal enemies, and their appearances are completely different when they are summoned.
Chuuya: Don't panic, your dad's here!
Dazai: Don't panic, it looks like your father!
When they appear at the same time, they will inevitably start hurling insults and engaging in a physical fight.
When facing formidable adversaries, they displayed an uncanny tacit understanding, delivering a fatal blow with a single strike.
This pair of arch-rivals, once they join forces, become the strongest combination of superpowered individuals in the underworld: the Port 'Double Black'.
No danger could truly trap them, except—
Dazai: "Wait, say it again, who are your parents?"
Chire Nakahara blinked: "It's you and Chuuya."
Dazai:......
Silence is the sound of the harbor bridge tonight.
-
Long afterward, a legend circulated in the world of sorcery.
Renowned prodigy Zhongyuan Qianli, a formidable player in the national server, whose battle record is verifiable, reached his peak upon debut.
From a level 4 cursed spirit to a special-grade cursed spirit, and then to the King of Curses, I fought my way through countless battles, experiencing tears and exhaustion, but never losing.
Q: What's your secret to winning the game?
A: If you can't beat them, call your dad.
#They all laugh at you, but your dad is the best fighter#
-
*A lighthearted and silly story; those who haven't read the original can understand. The pairings are too strong. There are rumors about my product. It ends once you've had your fill of enjoyment.
