Chapter 136 Indigo Flame! About Dazai Osamu...
Regarding Dazai Osamu's ability to ignite the Death Flame, the players never had any doubts. After all, they suspected Verlaine and Mori Ogai, but they never doubted that Dazai Osamu would be unable to ignite the flame!
This is the first high-IQ NPC the player has encountered since entering the game! Do you understand the value of a high-IQ NPC?
"Hey, Mackerel, are you kidding me?" Nakahara Chuuya, who had already put out the fire, crossed his hands on his chest and asked curiously, looking at Dazai Osamu who had a strange expression on his face.
Dazai Osamu undoubtedly possessed this kind of flame. He had been with Dazai Osamu before the explosion on Radium Street, and besides the robot Adam, he was the only one who clearly saw the indigo flame. Therefore, Nakahara Chuuya was absolutely certain of Dazai Osamu's presence.
but……
This guy who's so into every major event the leader is involved in can't even light the ring? Are you kidding me?
Zhongyuan Zhongye is more inclined to believe that this bluefin tuna, who always likes to do bad things, is playing tricks on everyone.
"If you succeed, please tell us quickly. Everyone is busy dealing with other official business," said Nakahara Chuuya.
“Although I’m happy to let you handle the official business, after all, there’s a document of mine in Chuuya’s office…”
Dazai Osamu ignored Nakahara Chuuya's roars of "What? You actually stuffed documents into my desk again?" and showed off his ring, which hadn't changed at all. "Look, it really hasn't changed at all."
"After all, I shouldn't have realized that kind of thing... mmm!" Dazai Osamu was covered in the mouth by the player.
"Someone's talking nonsense here," the player said, smiling as he covered the chattering Bandage Spirit's mouth. "You two should discuss the other matters of the meeting first. I need to talk to this guy."
After saying that, the player dragged Dazai Osamu into another meeting room, leaving the others sitting there staring at each other.
"Since the leader and Dazai-kun have important matters to discuss, let's move on to the next item of the meeting." Mori Ogai spoke first.
"Before that, I have a small question to ask you—" The black-haired and purple-eyed man kept smiling, but his cold eyes made the still young Uni feel a little uncomfortable.
"Please speak, Mr. Mori Ogai." Yuni nervously pinched the corner of the blue sleeveless dress given to her by her sister Chiyo.
"I want to ask, what is your relationship with our leader?" Mori Ogai asked, "Miss Uni, are you and our leader really sisters?"
——————
The players and Dazai Osamu who came to the other side of the conference room sat on chairs and started staring at each other.
Finally, Dazai Osamu couldn't help but blink.
"Yeah! I win!" The player cheered with a fist pump and said to Dazai Osamu, "Then, let the Great Sensei speak first."
"Chiyo-chan, I didn't promise you this at all..." Dazai Osamu puffed his lips and muttered softly.
But under the player's expressionless threat, he still said a few words to show his respect. "Out of nothing comes something, out of something comes nothing, just like a real illusion, a false existence... The effect of the fog-attributed Death Flame is just like what Chiyo-chan's mask can do."
"That's right. That's why this Death Flame that can cast illusions is incredibly powerful. It can be used for cover, escape, and even trapping enemies..." The player effortlessly spun Dazai Osamu's chair around and said, "I think it's perfect for someone like you who's not very active."
After the player finished speaking, he nodded affirmatively, "You're still too thin. How about I sign you up for a class?"
"What do you think? Taekwondo? Or boxing? Otherwise, it would be nice to find a teacher in the Port Mafia. We in the Port Mafia are full of talented people!"
"No, no, no! Please allow me to solemnly refuse this!" Dazai Osamu's face instantly looked more uncomfortable than if he had eaten a perverted spicy curry. Fearing that the leader would act first and then ask for permission, he shook his head faster than a rattle. "I have a healthy body and don't need any other exercise!"
"Really?" She glanced at Dazai Osamu from head to toe and found that the player sitting down with black curly hair and bandage, who was much taller than her, looked at him with envy and jealousy. She was even more determined to give Dazai Osamu more training.
It’s simple, players like it!
"Is it possible that I can't ignite the flame of death myself, Chiyo-chan?" Dazai Osamu waved his hand and said to the leader, "You haven't forgotten my special ability..."
"What kind of existence is No Longer Human?"
"I know. Isn't he the only person with anti-superpowers? I've heard of your nickname outside." The player also waved his hand, imitating Dazai Osamu's gesture, and said, "But what does this have to do with your inability to ignite the Death Flame?"
"Didn't I just say that? Because my special ability is..."
"No." The player interrupted Dazai's explanation and repeated it again, "No."
"Your abilities are indeed somewhat unique, but you definitely possess the Death Flame." The player looked at the silent Dazai Osamu and continued, "All six of you are indispensable. Without you, I wouldn't be able to use this power to break through the pacifier curse and return to who I am now."
"What...?" Dazai Osamu raised his head suddenly when he heard this.
"Hey, that's it." The player raised his right hand, where he wore a glittering ring that was emitting golden light - that was the color of the player's Great Sky Death Flame.
"Red, green, blue, yellow, purple, and indigo flames connected with my ring, and the interwoven white light enveloped my entire body, allowing me to lift the curse under Yuni's guidance."
"If it weren't for you, Great Teacher, I don't know how long I would have remained a child." The player's sparkling eyes obviously made the NPC feel uncomfortable, and he moved back a little bit, thinking that no one was noticing.
"Hehe, and I also have a lucky bonus. After all, little Uni is a holder of the Great Sky Flame like me~~"
Anyone else might not be able to do it." The player even pulled out the golden pacifier and showed it to Dazai. "But now that I've regained my strength, I can harness the power of the mask and cast an illusion that can even deceive machines."
One thing leads to another. Now that I think about it, luck is really important!
So this is how the leader lifted the curse... Who is that girl who looks almost exactly like the woman in the photo?
Calling the Mafia a family is indeed the style of the Italian Mafia, but he had never found any trace of the people in the photo when he went to Italy before...
Leader... Player...
Could it be... another world...?
Dazai Osamu glanced at the player who was still chattering away, completely unaware, with an ambiguous look.
"So, every ring owner is indispensable..." The player shook the silent curly-haired bandage spirit in front of him violently and howled loudly, "Dazai? Dazai? Are you listening?"
"Sorry, chief, I was a little distracted. What did you say just now?" Dazai Osamu blinked, his expression unchanged.
"I say, have you been in a bad mood recently?" asked the player.
"Why are you asking that all of a sudden?" Dazai Osamu placed his hand on the table, supporting his chin. "Shouldn't you be asking me about something I haven't realized, like whether I have any ulterior motives towards the Port Mafia?"
Based on the secrets he knew openly and secretly during this period, if he really escaped from the Port Mafia, the Port Mafia, which was still on the rise, would probably be in fear for four or five years - and this was when the leader lady was personally hunting him down and he was unable to do anything to the Port Mafia.
The player couldn't see what was going on in Dazai's mind. He just looked at him in shock for a few seconds, then silently took out a crab meat lunch and handed it to him, saying, "Eat something. It's good for your brain. It seems you're really in a bad mood."
Dazai Osamu, who was implied to be stupid, said: "..."
Never mind, it’s not the crab’s fault!
"Would you like to talk about it? Is there something wrong with the Port Mafia?" The player quickly changed the name to "The Daredevil", which can increase courage by 20%, reduce pain by 20%, and increase persuasiveness by 20%, and began to conduct various inspections on the map of the Port Mafia.
"No..." Perhaps it was the changed name that changed Dazai Osamu's attitude.
The boy who was originally acting good suddenly changed his expression and looked a little gloomy, a bit like the adjective that Princess Xiaoye used to describe Dazai Osamu - a dark man.
"I just feel that the word 'enlightenment' has nothing to do with me, and extreme anger seems very far away from me, so..."
"The reason enlightenment is so abstract is because it's so broad," the player said, reaching out to interrupt Dazai's objection. "I'm going to ask you a few questions. If you answer them truthfully, I'll show you whether you've achieved enlightenment or not."
"How about it?"
"Can."
"How do you think your time with the Port Mafia compares to your previous life?"
"Although it was a little unexpected to me, it was actually not beyond my expectations." Dazai Osamu answered the first question in such an abstract way.
"Would you like to go on missions with me?"
"Chiyo-chan's tools are all very interesting."
"How many words are there in Odasaku's novel?"
“298!”
…
…
The players asked questions faster and faster, and Dazai answered faster and faster! In the end, he was very careful.
My brain couldn't withstand the players' bombardment anymore, and my eyes became a little misty.
Great, the player thought to himself, now's a good time to ask one last question!
"So do you want to keep it this way?" the player asked.
"I want to... uh." The sudden addition of other multiple-choice questions caught Dazai off guard and he spoke out his inner thoughts.
"Isn't that it?" The player who finally caught the loophole in the Bandage Spirit's psychological defense laughed out loud and grabbed Dazai Osamu's arms, thus controlling the Bandage Spirit who was trying to escape. "Don't run, I won't do anything to you."
The most terrifying thing is to completely analyze a person's inner world!
Dazai Osamu, who was pressed on the table, looked terrified and didn't know why he said it so obviously.
"Master," the player suddenly sighed deeply and said, "Using this method to make you speak your truth, I know this is a very scary thing for a timid person like you."
Dazai Osamu's struggling movements gradually became smaller.
"But, keeping it in your heart won't do you any good, and of course, it won't do me any good either." The player looked at the motionless NPC, loosened his hand, and ruffled his hair into a mess.
"The reason I want you to master this power is not only because of the imminent danger in Yokohama, but also because I am truly worried about you."
"Worried... about me?" With his head slightly lowered, Dazai Osamu looked at the leader's worried look through countless strands of hair, his expression a little complicated.
For someone like him, this level of friendship is really... too intimate.
This behavior of invading the other person's life in the name of concern and trying to change the other person's mind... really makes him want to run away.
Dazai Osamu, who tried to slip away, glanced at the door of the conference room - good, the door was locked by the leader. In order to prevent his "instant lock picking technique", she even moved a few chairs to block it.
"You only like to eat crab meat, jump into the river, and study various suicide techniques... These are all your hobbies." The player's tone was unusually low. This was the only high-level NPC in the Port Mafia that she had not been able to maintain in good health!
"...Your safety must be guaranteed! You clearly promised me that you would take good care of your life!"
Damn it! Why can't intelligent NPCs learn this illusion skill, perfect for escaping, confusing opponents, and significantly enhancing the survivability of otherwise powerless NPCs? Players are seriously trying to figure it out!
"Anyway, you have to learn it for me!" After saying this, the player, who really didn't know how to make the NPC successful, decided to look for a shortcut in the mall.
If you are not a talent chosen by God, then be a talent created by man!
Dazai Osamu, who was suddenly left out, said: "..."
After a long silence, the young man with black curly hair and one eye often bandaged suddenly laughed. He laughed loudly and heartily.
"Really, Chiyo-chan, how can you only convince someone halfway?" Dazai Osamu looked at the leader who had originally intended to persuade him, but suddenly became angry about his past actions, and replied with a smile.
But it doesn't matter anymore. After all, he had made the decision long ago and was just hesitating.
Dazai Osamu walked up to the leader's daughter, squatted down, stretched out his hand with the ring, and gently touched the girl's ring, as if asking for fire.
Indigo flames appeared in two pairs of focused eyes.
Dazai Osamu, under the leader's persuasion, whether successful or not, successfully ignited his indigo flame as the Guardian of the Mist.
"That's awesome! Dazai! I knew you could do it!" Whose voice was this joyful cheer? The player said she had no idea!
