Chapter 59

When Dazai Osamu and Sakaguchi Ango were leaving, they happened to run into Nakajima Atsushi and Akutagawa Ryunosuke who were returning with some cookies.

"Mr. Dazai, are you leaving?" asked Nakajima Atsushi.

"After all, I am the leader of the Mafia now, and I can't keep disturbing the detective agency." Dazai Osamu said with a smile, and asked Nakajima Atsushi to give the cookies to Edogawa Ranpo, and then he couldn't wait to bring his people to the port mafia here.

Everyone in the Black Hand Gang couldn't help but be surprised when they saw their leader's new outfit, but no one stood up to ask questions. Dazai Osamu walked through unhindered and arrived at the door of the leader's office, but found that it was locked.

He was stunned outside the door for a moment, then remembered that he didn't have a key. However, unlocking the door was not difficult for him. When he was about to use a special method to open the door, a guard at the door of the next room said in surprise: "Chief, do you want to come in?"

"Hmm?" Dazai looked at the person who was speaking, noticed where he was standing, and glanced at the room in front of him. Suddenly realizing something, he smiled and said, "Just checking if the door is locked."

After saying that, Dazai Osamu walked to the door of the room guarded by the guard very naturally, pushed it open and walked in. This time the guard did not say anything. Dazai Osamu looked at the brand new leader's office in front of him with a playful expression, but he did not continue to explore it. Instead, he sat down at the table, took out the book "The World of Osamu", and solemnly and reverently opened the first page.

"The World of Governance"

"Foreword"

"He was a very smart kid, so he was always alone. Ango and I were able to stay by his side because we understood the loneliness surrounding him, but we just stood there and never got involved. *But because of this, I felt a little regretful, so this time, I wanted to get closer to him, so I started with a simple name.

What would a world ruled by the rulers of the world be like? Although I have already pictured what it will be like in my mind, I cannot describe the past with any accuracy because I have never been there.

But I think that should be a place where "meaning" is a little lacking, because Zhi is always trying to find the existence of such a thing as "meaning".

And what is the meaning of survival rather than destruction for a person? I think the answer is not in the external world, but in the subtle inner self.

Therefore, the meaning of Zhi’s existence is also very simple, just because he is Zhi, a unique person in this world, this is the meaning of his existence.

Maybe in Zhi's eyes, the outside world is different from ours, but it doesn't matter, because what we are looking for is not there. We don't need to be influenced by the outside world, we don't need to doubt ourselves because of a setback in the outside world, and we don't need to force ourselves to change ourselves to meet the expectations of people around us. I just hope that when Zhi sees through the outside world, he can look inward again.

Our eyes receive light from the outside and form images in our minds, so we have always been accustomed to looking outward. When we suddenly turn inward, we may not be used to it. If you can only see darkness at first, don't be discouraged. Look carefully again. I think that in that darkness, there must be a unique treasure hidden in the world.

If there is still only darkness like black mud, then don’t give up, please reach out and explore again. Under the black mud, the seeds of treasure are still sleeping. In front of the stubborn seeds, the gloomy black mud can also become nutrients. When the seeds sprout, when you look inside inadvertently, you will see the most beautiful flowers in the world... "

...

After Dazai Osamu returned to the Port Black Hand Gang, Sakaguchi Ango did not follow him immediately. He first went back to the Special Powers Division. The building of the Special Powers Division was still there, but it was empty.

Ango Sakaguchi walked alone in the empty building. Apart from the sound of his footsteps, there was no other sound. On his way to the Armed Detective Agency, he had already discovered that most of the people in Yokohama were missing. He couldn't be sure whether these disappearances were due to the end of the world or something else. In the face of such a disaster, he realized how insignificant he was. All he could do was probably to find out the truth of this world as the game said, and then hope that the power behind the scenes who planned the game would give an explanation to this world.

Ango Sakaguchi came all the way to the main office of the Special Powers Division. The items in the office were in a mess. Looking at the mess in front of him, he seemed to see the panic and helplessness of the people here when facing an irresistible disaster.

Sakaguchi Ango reads the memories on the items while sorting out the items in his office:

[In addition to Yokohama, unknown cracks appeared in the sky in other places! ]

[What are those things? Is the world really going to end? ]

[Could it be that a superpower had created this? ]

[Are there really people with superpowers who have such abilities? ]

[Oh my god! The cracks are starting to spread. Is this world going to be torn apart? ]

[What about psychics? There are many psychics in Yokohama. Can't they fix those cracks? ]

[Captain Farmer, we have already found out that the areas where the cracks first appeared are cities with a large number of psychics.]

[This must be the world's punishment for those with special abilities! ]

[Those cracks are beginning to expand again...]

[This world is beyond salvation...]

When Sakaguchi Ango came out of the building of the Special Powers Division, it was almost dusk outside. The sky dyed by the setting sun should have been a very beautiful sight, but at this moment, several abyssal-like gullies crisscrossed the sky, making people feel a kind of terrifying fear.

The city's power system was unmaintained, and the whole world sank into darkness as night fell. When Ango Sakaguchi returned to the port black party building, it was already completely dark.

There were lights on in the Black Hand's building, which should be equipped with a power generation device. Sakaguchi Ango stood at the door of the building for a while before walking in. Unlike the Special Powers Department, the Black Hand had some popularity, but it was much less popular than before. At least he didn't encounter anyone who tried to stop him as he walked along. It was not until he reached the floor where the leader's office was located that he saw anyone.

"Who did you bring back?" Nakahara Nakagawa knocked on the door of the leader's office without any hesitation. Behind him were the two Nakajima Atsushi who were looking at each other, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke who had a cold face.

There was no answer, so Nakahara Chuuya asked the guard next to him: "How long has he been in there?"

"Most of the day," the guard replied.

"Hey, are you planning to starve yourself to death in there?" Nakahara Chuuya knocked on the door again.

This time, there was finally movement inside the door. A young man with black hair and iris eyes opened the door. He looked at the angry Nakahara Chuuya outside the door and asked in confusion, "Officer Nakahara, are you talking to the leader?"

Seeing the attire of the man, Nakahara Chuuya was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and spoke in a still unfriendly tone: "Don't you know how you got the position of leader? Mr. President of the Armed Detective Agency!"

"How did you get it?" Dazai Osamu asked sincerely.

Nakahara Chuuya was stunned for a moment, and his expression became more and more angry: "How dare you say that the death of the previous leader has nothing to do with you?!"

"Is Mr. Mori no longer here?" Dazai Osamu asked regretfully.

"Huh?" Nakahara Chuuya seemed to have heard something unbelievable and absurd, "Don't tell me you lost your memory?"

"Is there any problem?" Dazai Osamu also noticed something unusual. He looked past Nakahara Chuuya and looked at [Nakajima Atsushi] who was a member of the Black Hand Gang.

[Nakajima Atsushi] looked at the two sides in the standoff, and finally spoke up to help Dazai Osamu: "The previous leader was not Mr. Mori."

"Hmm? If it's not Mr. Mori, could it be Alice?" Dazai said subconsciously, and at the same time he was thinking in his mind, besides Mori Gu, who else could have become the leader of the Black Hand Gang before him...

"It's Mr. Oda." Akutagawa Ryunosuke said. This was the information he collected in the afternoon.

[??? Did I hear correctly, Oda Saku is the leader? ]

[Oda Saku is the leader of the mafia, and Dazai is the president of the detective agency. What kind of development is this? ]

[This relationship is so confusing, is there a class representative who can come out and explain it?]

[I think there must be some misunderstanding, Oda Saku wrote

That book is for Dazai. From this point, we can see that the two of them cannot be enemies. It is even more impossible for Dazai to plot against Odasaku for the position of leader.】

[The key to the question is how did one of them become the leader of the mafia and the other the president of the detective agency? ]

[There was a photo on Ranpo's desk before, showing that Dazai in this world was not taken away by Mori, but followed President Fukuzawa]

[From the photo, Ranpo and Dazai are both young. Ranpo should have met President Fukuzawa when he was 14, and Dazai was 10 at that time. So Dazai here grew up with President Fukuzawa, and there was also Ranpo by his side. Both of them were children who were out of tune with the world, so they should have a common language, so this should be the beginning of the change.]

[Dazai becoming the president can explain it, but how did Odasaku become the leader? 】

Oda Sakunosuke is the leader of the port mafia. This news is far more shocking than Dazai Osamu becoming the president of the Armed Detective Agency. Sakaguchi Ango looked at Dazai Osamu, who was unusually silent after hearing the news. He pulled away Nakahara Chuuya who was still trying to speak.

Nakahara Chuuya frowned and looked at another outsider and asked, "How did you all get in?"

"We have obtained the leader's approval, and now we are all members of the Black Hand Gang." Sakaguchi Ango explained seriously.

"Huh?" Nakahara Chuuya looked at Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who was also a player, and said, "Do you, the Armed Detective Agency, want to take advantage of the world crisis to completely infiltrate the Black Hand Party?"
