Chapter 428 Ending Until the weapon flew out of the box...
It was not until the ravens and pandas that flew out of the weapon box on their own and lingered around the girl for a long time, unwilling to leave, fell into a deep sleep again due to the exhaustion of the flame of death, that the venue, which was almost collapsed due to the battle, began to have a few more rustling sounds.
At this time, Dazai Osamu was silent to the point that it aroused people's vigilance, and every movement he made could attract the attention of others.
Because... even though the energy in this black-haired and kite-eyed boy was so chaotic that it was about to explode, his face remained expressionless, causing some guys with small animal senses to subconsciously shake their bodies.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Dazai..." Sawada Tsunayoshi stretched out his hand, but hesitated.
"Why, Sawada-kun, are you sure you want to stop me at this time?" Dazai Osamu said with an indifferent expression, but with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, "You're disturbing our leader's last rest."
"...No, that's not what I meant. It's Uni." Sawada Tsunayoshi's honey-colored eyes were filled with sadness, but he managed to conceal it well. He pulled himself together and said, "Ununi has something to tell you."
Just now, Yuni asked him to block Dazai Osamu's way. Although he didn't understand why she asked him to do such a thing, his intuition told him that this might not be a bad thing.
"Nothing's worth my attention right now." Dazai Osamu pondered the orange ring in his hand for a moment, then slowly tightened his grip. "The only thing I need to do is get her out of here."
There have long been rumors in Yokohama about a book that is suspected to be able to fulfill all the wishes of its holder. Due to the characteristics of the book itself, whenever there is news about it, it will attract a group of jackals, tigers and leopards, triggering a fight for it.
Although it is unknown why the "book" that was originally supposed to be kept by the Special Ability Department ended up in Kamikami Chiyo's hands, based on the personalities of that group of people, there must be some remaining pages of the "book" in the Special Ability Department.
What he had to do now was to find those fragments, and then... A deep chill flashed in Dazai Osamu's eyes, which made people shudder.
"Please believe me, Mr. Dazai." At this tense moment, Yuni suddenly said, "Now is not the time to feel despair."
Yuni stood in the middle of Dazai Osamu's path, blocking his way with her hand. Under his suddenly sharp gaze, she repeated, "Now is not the time to feel despair."
"Please believe that Sister Aurora... there are other possibilities." The eyes of the girl with long blue hair were still a little empty, but her tone was unquestionable and firm. "In the endless darkness, I saw a faint light in the sky."
Dazai Osamu raised his head suddenly.
"What? Uni, you mean..."
"Really?!"
"Could Aurora..."
"Could it be..."
…
…
Uni: "I just have a vague feeling that this is the case, so I still have hope, and..."
Dazai Osamu said hurriedly: "And what?!"
Uni: "Besides, whether this matter will succeed or not also depends on Mr. Dazai Osamu."
"The secret shared between Mr. Dazai and Sister Aurora..." The girl with long blue hair clasped her hands together in front of her chest and said slowly with a sincere wish, "It will become the most important opportunity for this matter."
"A common secret... a common secret..."

After asking Yuni to take good care of Kamikami Chiyo, Dazai Osamu returned to Yokohama as quickly as possible and came to the chief's office - the decoration and furnishings here, every plant and tree were no different from the last time he saw it. Occasionally, when he was free, Dazai Osamu habitually lay down on the sofa, watching the black-haired girl not far away, who was correcting documents with a wrinkled face and complaining madly to her stupid subordinates.
This is very interesting, thought Dazai Osamu, who once thought that his subordinates were also so stupid.
But now, his mood was completely different from before. He had no intention of paying attention to those old things at all. After quietly looking at the furnishings in the chief's office for a while, he sat down on the sofa and assumed a familiar posture.
Click——
As Dazai Osamu's movements continued to change, a secret compartment popped out from the ground - a seemingly ordinary wooden box with no password.
Just as Dazai Osamu was about to open the wooden box, he heard a teeth-grinding creaking sound from the door of the leader's office, followed by a familiar voice.
"Hey, you bastard Bluefish, what did you just say on the phone?!" Nakahara Chuuya flung the door open. "What do you mean the leader is in trouble? How can you be so calm when the leader is in trouble?"
"Also, why did you ask me to come here? Are you planning to rebel?!"
Does this guy want this to be known to everyone? Dazai Osamu glared at him darkly.
If it weren't for the ring of special significance entrusted to him by Kamijou Chiyo, Dazai Osamu would have wanted him to make a bigger fuss, but now...
"A slug's tiny brain is incapable of understanding human behavior." Dazai Osamu fiddled with the wooden box left by the leader and said nonchalantly, "Just like a dwarf will never understand what I want to do."
"Are you kidding me? Are you still considered human? You damned bluefin tuna!" Nakahara Chuuya took a deep breath, a red glow emanating from his body. He then grabbed Dazai Osamu's collar viciously and whispered a threat, "Also, is there something else you haven't explained to me?"
"Like...why didn't the chief come back with you?"
"Tell the truth quickly, or I'll make you pay!"
Suddenly, a hint of joy flashed in Dazai Osamu's eyes: "It's open!"
Nakahara Chuuya, baffled, responded: "Huh?"
"I didn't expect that it would take the Death Flame shared by the dwarf and me to open this box... No... Ugh... I feel so sick just thinking about this." Dazai Osamu looked grim, and he ignored Nakahara Chuuya's dissatisfied roar and opened the wooden box directly.
Inside was a peculiarly shaped three-color key, with a note with clear handwriting attached to it.
"What is this?" Nakahara Chuuya came over and asked with some confusion.
Dazai Osamu: “I don’t know.”
Nakahara Chuuya: "Huh? Is there something you, Dazai Osamu, don't know?"
"Oh, so a slug is a slug." Dazai sneered, "This is something Chiyo left behind. How could I have known this in advance?"
There is no trace of this wooden box even in those vaguely overlapping memories.
Is it because he is not the same as usual that the hidden mechanism is not triggered?
No, even on those roughly similar days, he would still come to the chief's office to observe the chief's movements and her private plans.
The only thing that has changed is...
Dazai Osamu glanced at Nakahara Chuuya, who was still confused about the situation, and said abruptly, "You finally did a good thing, shorty."
Before the still-out-of-control Chuuya Nakahara could get angry, Dazai Osamu shook the key in his hand and said seriously, "In that case, then you'll just have to be a slug to the end. Chuuya, I need to unravel this secret between Chiyo and I, then find the Special Ability Division, get the remaining pages of the 'book'... and rescue our leader!"
Dazai Osamu: "I'll leave this matter... to you, Chuuya."
"Bluefin Fish, you... I understand." Nakahara Chuuya, who rarely saw his partner look so serious, was stunned at first, then nodded sternly. "I don't know what you're hiding, but for the sake of the leader, I'm willing to believe you."
"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
"Then the first thing is...wait." Dazai Osamu pinched the only piece of paper in the wooden box between his fingers and shook it, "Wait for the arrival of the guy I hate seeing the most in the world of curse."
"Perhaps... only in this way can we know what is hidden behind this key."
"The guy you dislike the most... isn't that him?" Nakahara Chuuya said with a somewhat strange expression. "Putting everything else aside, that guy's personality is truly unpleasant, just like you."
"With that kind of erratic personality, if he wasn't incredibly strong, he would have been beaten to death long ago." Nakahara Chuuya was puzzled. "But why did you call him over? Is there another Curse Spirit mission coming soon?"
Dazai Osamu: "No, it's not a cursed spirit's mission."
Nakahara Chuuya: "Are you also going to test the feasibility of using cursed spirit ingredients?"
"Don't forget, we still have to rob the Special Ability Division." Dazai Osamu knocked on the corner of the table, regaining his usual strategic demeanor. "If we don't muddy the waters even more, how can we buy enough time?"
What they lack most now is time.
Nakahara Chuuya: "Aren't you worried that he won't come?"
Dazai Osamu: "Don't worry, they will come, and... maybe even come together."
——————————
Densely covered with stars, lush greenery.
Under a tree so tall that you can't see the treetops at a glance, a round, mixed-color ball is happily playing among the vegetation.
Sometimes she slid down along the graceful curve of the leaves, imitating herself as dewdrops about to fall to the ground; sometimes she lay down comfortably on the ground, pretending that she had fallen into a deep sleep; sometimes she quickly circled around the big tree many times, attracting the twinkling lights and filling her belly, and finally, she threw herself into the arms of her mother, Daqiuqiu, and began to live a happy and intimate life.
"Aurora..."
"Chiyo..."
"Fool……"
"Has this day finally come?" When the happy little ball heard his mother's sigh, he couldn't help but shook his head vigorously, then raised his head and asked in confusion.
"It's okay, my child... don't worry." The big ball touched the little ball's head and whispered soothingly, "It's humans who are calling you. Go to the edge of the Green Plains. There you will find the answers you want to know."
"You don't belong to me after all. Go to the people you cherish. I will always watch over you until..."
Although it didn't understand, the little ball still rubbed its mother's arms affectionately, and then took advantage of the sudden spring breeze to come to the edge of the green field. After hesitating for a moment, it finally took the first step bravely under the never-ending call of the green field.
The moment the action took place, the little ball felt that its entire body was out of control and was floating up and down. This galaxy, which seemed to have its own consciousness, was like a baby's cradle, making people drowsy. The ball was no exception, and it closed its eyes happily following this gentle movement.
But... the sweet dreams never seem to last too long. The little ball that sleeps peacefully always makes some small movements, occasionally turning over, occasionally jumping its body - the calling sound in the ear becomes clearer and more frequent.
"Wake up..."
Who is...
"Aurora..."
Such a familiar name...
"Chiyo..."
This one is also familiar...
"You've slept long enough..."
Yes, it’s time to wake up…
Thousands of words of calls converge into a pair of invisible big hands, holding up the little ball sleeping in the galaxy. The colorful beams of light are like long lines, tightly pulling the only kite.
After an unknown amount of time, Qiuqiu gradually changed her shape and turned into a girl with snow-white skin, long black hair, and a pair of eyes as bright as stars as she woke up.
"Resurrection with full health!"
