What should I do?

[Push him into the most desperate place, and then let him remember the beauty of life.] Kamiya Izuru answered uninterested.

[Denied.] Hinata Hajime quickly rejected it, [It is possible that he would become even more desperate after remembering the beauty of his daughter and then discovering that she was dead.]

The voice of the god who was wandering around did not change at all, [Boring.]

[I knew you had thought of this long ago, and you just wanted to see if I was stupid enough to follow your words.] Hinata Hajime twitched his lips, [Kamizuki, am I easier to fool than ordinary people in your eyes?]

【It’s obvious.】

very good.

Hinata Hajime couldn't help but press the blue vein on his forehead. He lowered his head to hide the change in his expression, and then continued to speak in his mind.

[Leave this matter to me for now. When the time comes, I will consider your suggestion.]

Yes, Hinata Sou is seriously considering Kamizuru's proposal.

On the one hand, it is because Kamizuru Izuru possesses the most powerful talent in the world, and on the other hand, as Hinata Hajime, he believes in himself, so he will never doubt what Kamizuru Izuru says. Of course, so far, Kamizuru Izuru has never lied to him.

Nor did it lead things in a more chaotic direction.

Because no matter which side it is, it is boring to him and not enough for him to pay attention to.

"Hinata-kun, what are you thinking about?"

"Huh?" Hinata Hajime quickly retracted his expression. He looked at Dazai Osamu and spoke only when they were staring at each other, "I'm wondering if there is any way to help Mr. Arikawa get over the despair of losing his daughter. After all, this is the only way."

Dazai Osamu stroked his chin, "Well, there are ways to make a person do evil, but it is much more difficult to make an evil person turn good again."

"Yes." Hinata Sou said in confusion, "We can't let his daughter live."

Dazai Osamu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Let his daughter live?"

"What?"

"Maybe it will work."

"Is this actually possible?" Hinata was surprised. "Could it be that Mr. Dazai has the magical power to bring people back to life?"

Dazai Osamu shook his head, smiled and put his hands in his coat pockets, "We don't have to let his daughter live. Doesn't he want a daughter? Then let's give him a daughter. Is there any child in the orphanage who has a good relationship with his daughter?"

"What does Mr. Dazai want to do?" Hinata Hajime was a little hesitant.

"Human emotions are really strange. A guy who kills for himself will often become more and more evil, but a person who kills for others can always regret it for various reasons." Dazai Osamu leaned against the wall and looked at the light coming from the teacher's office. "If he did it for his daughter, then he would wake up."

Kunikida stood alone beside Dazai Osamu, "What are the chances of success?"

"half."

"Only 50%?" Kunikida Dopo frowned slightly, "But there is no other way. Hinata-kun, can you tell us more detailed information?"

Hinata Hajime looked at the two people in front of him and complained silently in his heart.

[As expected, talented people always behave differently from ordinary people.]

【You can try it. 】

[Hmm?] Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment, [Kamiya, do you agree with their idea?]

Kamizuru stopped talking, as if what he had just said was just a casual remark.

After three seconds of silence, Hinata Hajime raised his head and said, "Okay, I understand. He is a child who has a good relationship with Mr. Arikawa's daughter, right?"

“There really is such a child.”

Of course, Hinata Hajime didn't just do whatever others told him to do. In fact, he had thought about this matter carefully. He had thought about it before Dazai Osamu and the others came. The reason was certainly not because Hinata Hajime was so great or so gifted and talented, but simply because this child's situation was so special.

Momoko Fujita, a 7-year-old girl, is the girl that Mr. Arikawa loves, the best friend of Arikawa's daughter, and the soulmate that Arikawa Ishiwa has found that is most compatible with his daughter.

Hinata Hajime noticed this child before he knew this.

She was infected with despair in an orphanage and survived the infighting, becoming the youngest survivor. She was so scared that she cried every day and had a high fever. She was also frightened and cried in her dreams every day. She was terrified and desperate to the extreme, but she never contracted despair.

It was like she was completely isolated from the whole despair virus.

"But I want to confirm one thing with you." Hinata Hajime looked at Kunikida Dopo seriously.

"What is it?"

Hinata Hajime said: "Ensure Momoko's safety. Don't let her get hurt, and don't put her life in danger."

"No problem." Kunikida Dopo nodded, "I will definitely not let her get hurt."

…

Hinata Hajime went into the inner room to pick up Fujita Momoko. Dazai Osamu and Kunikida Doppo were standing outside the door waiting. While they were waiting, Kunikida Doppo spoke.

"How's that? Have you tried it?"

"Hinata-kun is not a plague user." Dazai Osamu replied: "Although he may be an insider, he is definitely not the leader of this plague."

Kunikida Dopo nodded. The fact that Dazai Osamu dared to say such words showed that he had already tried it. Dazai Osamu's supernatural power was supernatural power invalidation, which was a passive supernatural power. As long as there was physical contact with Dazai Osamu, no matter what supernatural power it was, it would become ineffective. If Hinata Hajime was really a plague supernatural user, his supernatural power should disappear during contact.

Moreover, when he went out to investigate in the morning, what he saw was similar to what Hinata Hajime said.

So far, Hinata Hajime has not lied to them.

Could it be that he really came here by accident as he said and happened to encounter the outbreak of despair?

"However, Hinata-kun and I chatted for a few minutes before." Dazai Osamu leaned against the wall and spoke, with a smile in his iris-colored eyes. "These few minutes of conversation made me feel that Hinata-kun might be a little more kind than I thought."

"What?"

Dazai Osamu looked at Kunikida Dopo and asked, "I asked him, if he is so suspicious, why did he stay here? Isn't he worried that I will arrest him as the instigator?"

"How did he answer?"

Dazai closed his eyes, smiling, "That's a very interesting answer."

He said: "There is no evidence that I am the instigator, nor is there any evidence that Mr. Dazai would suspect me."

"So, I believe it."

"I believe that Mr. Dazai and Mr. Kunikida believe that I am not the murderer."

"Although I am an ordinary person, I feel happier if I think positively about everything."

Kunikida Dopo was stunned for a moment, "He believes us?"

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't he have defended himself? But he actually said that he believed the two people who doubted him. This frankness and lack of sarcasm made Kunikida Dopo's breath stagnate.

Although they only spent less than a day together, Hinata Hajime was able to leave a deep impression on Kunikida Dopo.

Being able to maintain the goodwill and trust of an ordinary person in such an extreme situation, acting calmly, and even choosing to stay and take the risk of being infected with the desperate disease to overcome the difficulties with the children is something that many people cannot imagine and cannot do.

"Let's cross him out as a suspect for now and reinvestigate after this matter is over." Kunikida Dopo wrote Hinata Hajime's name in the notebook.

That strange despair disease is the purpose of their investigation this time.

But at this moment, Dazai Osamu and Kunikida Doppo heard a loud noise in the room, as if a vase fell to the ground and broke, followed by a child's miserable scream.

They looked at each other, then hurriedly pushed open the door. The next moment, the scene in the room startled them both.

Hinata Sou was holding a girl, and opposite him, two children were holding broken glass fragments, the sharp points of the glass pierced their hands, but they raised their hands as if they didn't feel the pain at all. Dazai Osamu saw the desperate and painful looks in the two children's eyes.

"Why? Why is she the only one who gets preferential treatment?"

"The teacher is, the dean is, and even Hinata-nii is too. This is not fair!"

Hinata Hajime looked at the child in front of him, his expression a little sad, "This is not a privilege."

"This is preferential treatment! She is so noisy, she cries every day, and she needs someone to take care of her in this situation. She should die!"

"Don't say that." Hinata Sou raised his voice, "Everyone has the right to live. I am just trying to protect everyone's life to the greatest extent possible. It is truly unfair to demand fairness for everyone in such an extreme situation."

Dazai Osamu and Kunikida Dopo looked at each other, then they quietly separated and moved in different directions.

Fortunately, the two children who were in despair kept looking at Hinata Hajime with painful and despair in their eyes, and did not notice their movements at all.

Hinata Hajime saw their actions, but he did not show anything wrong. He just continued to guide the two children to look at him. He did not breathe a sigh of relief until Dazai Osamu and Kunikida Doppo held down the two boys. The child who was invaded by despair let out a miserable howl, and Kunikida Doppo had to let him faint temporarily.

"Why did two children suddenly become desperate?"

"Because despair is contagious." Hinata Sou walked over holding the still sobbing girl, and he looked at the unconscious child on the ground with worry, "As long as one person's despair breaks out, the despair and worry in the hearts of the rest will continue to grow. In this vicious cycle, it is easy for the despair frenzy that has been suppressed with great difficulty to break out again."

Kunikida Dopo frowned slightly upon hearing this, "Looks like we need to hurry."

"Yes." Hinata Hajime looked at the child in his arms, "This is Momoko, let's go over first."

"Mr. Dazai, what are you looking at?"

Dazai Osamu raised his head and smiled at Hinata Hajime, "No."

Hinata Hajime didn't notice anything unusual. He and Kunikida Dopo discussed what to do next. Only Dazai Osamu was left standing there looking at the unconscious child on the ground. After a moment, Dazai Osamu looked at the palm of his hand with a meaningful smile on his lips.

His ability is to nullify abilities. In theory, any ability he touches will be eliminated. Plague and psychic abilities will be in a state that he cannot eliminate unless they have a carrier.

But just now, he used his hands to control the child who was infected with despair, but the despair of the child did not disappear, there were no wounds on the child's body, and it did not look like a carrier like Q.

Perhaps, this despair is not a supernatural power.
