Chapter 252 The Third Player

After learning that the "Dazai Osamu" in front of him was the 22-year-old "Hong Kong underworld leader Dazai Osamu" from another world, Saikai Haruto and "Dazai Osamu" tacitly and spontaneously started chatting about "another possible world" and the differences between the two worlds.

Although in the setting of the BEAST world, there is only one world outside the book - that is the "real world", which is the world where the manga author depicts the direction of the main story; and the other infinite if worlds are all "possible worlds" folded in the book. This world is of course also a "possible world".

Of course, what is slightly different from other if worlds is that the current if world collided with this world when it was about to "die" - and then "merged" with it. Although it is still a "possible world", it is much stronger than other possible worlds in terms of strength, at least it will not be so easily destroyed.

...But of course, the players and Dazai Osamu are unaware of the above.

Through the "book", Dazai Osamu regarded this world as a "possible world" that is almost the same as other if worlds; and players who think they are in the game naturally regard this world as the "world outside the book".

The only person who knows the truth is Saikai Haruto, who has a God's perspective... Of course, this does not include "Mochizuki Kaoru". For "Mochizuki Kaoru", his knowledge of this world naturally comes from "Dazai Osamu", but if you want to fully trust what he says, you still need to "verify" it.

The player disguised as "Dazai Osamu" chose to tell the story of the leader, both true and false.

Regarding the "book", players are still a little reserved for the time being... although, they are not too reserved.

Of course, there was a reason why he told all this "frankly" to Saikai Haruto - whether it was from his own wishes or the wishes of the "leader", he did not want to die in such an unclear and unclear way at the hands of Dazai Osamu of this world.

The young man in front of him named "Mochizuki Kaoru" is a character who has never appeared in the original work but has an obvious close relationship with Dazai Osamu in this world. So no matter what, he is an important person to Dazai Osamu. Even if he may be just a false "bait" deliberately designed to lure him into the trap, this "bait" must at least have some weight.

Moreover, when the other party was only suspicious of him before, but still chose to treat him as the Dazai Osamu of this world, he even said that he would still choose to take him in even if he was being hunted by the Hong Kong mafia... That means that at least he has the confidence to deal with the port mafia.

Dazai Osamu subconsciously ruled out the possibility that the other party was lying or was self-righteous. He could see that he was definitely not that kind of person.

For such a "kind-hearted person", he would naturally choose to get close to him!

You have to know that he is now in a state of "isolation and helplessness", with enemies everywhere... The result of being an enemy of the entire port mafia is almost the same as the effect of "being surrounded by enemies on all sides".

The order from the Port Mafia to "hunt down Dazai Osamu" could only be issued by one person, Dazai Osamu, the supreme leader of the Port Mafia.

Both "Mochizuki Kaoru" and "Dazai Osamu" are well aware of this.

If he doesn't want to die at the hands of Hong Kong gangsters and the Dazai Osamu of this world, "Dazai Osamu" can only save himself. However, in the current situation where he is isolated and unable to save himself, it is reasonable to seek "external aid" to save him, right?

"I didn't expect Dazai-kun to tell me this."

Xi Haiqingdou raised his eyebrows slightly, the tear mole under his eyes was enchanting, and there was a sense of romance in his gray eyes: "I thought Dazai-kun didn't care about anything after going through so many things."

"Originally, of course, it was -- to another world."

"Dazai Osamu" wore a smile on his face that seemed like a mask that would never change. "But this world is different from all the worlds I know. Isn't it strange? At least I want to know why Dazai Osamu in this world would send people to hunt me down... It's really sad, isn't it another me? What do you think, Mochizuki-kun?"

He didn't tell Mochizuki Kaoru much about the "book", but he had some guesses in his mind - the changes in Dazai Osamu might be related to the "book". After all, if you talk about something that suddenly appears to cause trouble, it's hard not to think of the existence of "books" in the game "Bungo Isoku".

"Is it strange? It's very curious." Xi Haiqing Dou said "hmm" and blinked slightly: "So, Dazai-kun has found a living target again and wants to seek my help?"

...What straightforward words. "Dazai Osamu" was almost choked by his words and didn't react in time.

"I guess you can think of it this way... I'm asking for help from you, Mochizuki-kun."

"Dazai Osamu" also imitated Saikai Haruto and said, "Right now, I don't want to die in such an unclear way for the time being."

He had an innocent smile on his face: "I believe that Mr. Mochizuki would not just stand by and watch someone die, right?"

I don't know what he was thinking about, but a subtle expression appeared on Saikai Haruto's face.

"You are such a nuisance, Dazai-kun... As expected of you? You have the same inexplicable trust in me that comes out of nowhere."

Xi Hai Qing Dou chuckled lazily, looking very relaxed: "You believe in me more than I do myself, is that really okay?"

Eh, so Dazai Osamu in this world also said something similar? And he has a lot of trust in "Mochizuki Kaoru". It seems that he was lucky to have hit her by mistake.

"Although I was a little surprised and surprised, I trusted Mochizuki-kun so much, even though I just met him for the first time."

"Dazai Osamu" smiled bitterly: "Perhaps Mochizuki-kun has a special aura that makes people trust him involuntarily? Of course, there is no other better way for the time being, right?"

Saikai Haruto's expression became even more subtle.

"...I understand. That's what I should do." Xi Hai Qing Dou's brows relaxed slightly, as if he was helpless.

"Well, Dazai-kun, do you mind if I contact Dazai now?"

Of course, there is no objection to "Dazai Osamu".

It was obvious that "Mochizuki Kaoru's" attitude had softened. It seemed that his luck was indeed good, and the words just now hit the nail on the head.

"He will respond to anyone who asks for help"? Or is there some other hidden reason behind this that we haven't guessed yet? And he is not a completely pure and innocent person... It seems interesting.

Of course, we have to praise the brain of "Chief Zai" - otherwise, if he were alone, he would have been led astray at any time and at any step.

Saikai Haruto was also in a good mood.

Someone asked him for help, so he agreed - it was that simple. Although most of the processes would not be so simple for other people, after all, the person currently hunting the other person is also his friend, or even the "other person" in another world, so no matter how you choose, it seems very delicate. But when it comes to "Mochizuki Kaoru", it is completely reasonable - because he has always been such a person.

For example, wasn’t it exactly the same scene when Dazai Osamu was rescued from Rimbaud’s hands before?

Suddenly I felt like I was in a cycle... It's really interesting.

So after talking to Dazai about the "22-year-old Dazai Osamu from another world", when Dazai Osamu asked that question, Saikai Haruto answered truthfully like this - for "Mochizuki Kaoru", the reasons why he chose to save "Dazai Osamu" before and after were naturally exactly the same, which was very reasonable.

When she learned that the other party was now in the Hong Kong Black Building and Odasaku was also by his side, "Mochizuki Kaoru" understood even more clearly that Dazai Osamu wanted to kill another "Dazai Osamu" seriously, and it was definitely not a joke.

However, he couldn't figure out the reason.

So with the help of Dazai Osamu, he asked Dazai Osamu about the "book".

"Dazai, do you know the word 'book'?"

"Is Mr. Mochizuki's question about another person?"

Dazai Osamu said in a natural voice: "What book?"

On the other end of the phone that Saikai Haruto couldn't see, Dazai Osamu clenched his fingers.

The existence of the "book" is too special. This world is only a "possible world" rather than a "real world". Once more than three people know the existence of the "book", the instability of this world will increase... Dazai Osamu certainly would not choose to tell Mochizuki Kaoru about the existence of the "book" completely and intactly at this time, or before.

But unexpectedly, without him saying anything, "X" actually told Mochizuki Kaoru about the existence of the "book".

Dazai Osamu's anger rose a little more.

"Ah, if you don't want to tell me, then forget it."

Saikai Haruto said casually, "So Dazai, if you kill him, what effect will it have on you?"

But in response to his question, Dazai remained silent for another two seconds.

"No," he said.

After pondering for a long time, Dazai Osamu said with an indescribable dryness in his tone: "Teacher Mochizuki, don't believe anything he says. No matter what... please believe this."

"...I understand." Saikai Haruto said calmly, "Thank you for your answer, Dazai. I will seriously consider your answer."

"Mr. Mochizuki...!"

"You have things you want to hide, but I also have things I want to explore, Dazai."

Xi Haiqingdou's voice was gentle, but there was no room for maneuver: "I thought you should be able to understand - just as I will not and cannot stop you, you can't change my mind. You should be able to guess it, right?"

——His answer was contrary to the information he received from "Dazai Osamu".

The young man with purple-black medium-length hair had put on his glasses again at some point, and a hint of deep thought flashed across his eyes.

The black-haired young man currently standing beside him told him that the "book" has the ability to change reality. The person who possesses the "book" can write on the book to overwrite reality, but there is a certain price to pay, and the final result will eventually lead to some uncontrollable disaster.

The last person to own a "book" was Dazai Osamu himself.

There is also the issue of Dazai Osamu's safety.

Both are "Dazai Osamu", so how can we ensure that when one "Dazai Osamu" dies, the other Dazai Osamu can be safe and sound and live well?

And there is another world where he lives——

Mochizuki Kaoru would not choose to accept everything that "Dazai Osamu" said, but he also had to be cautious about those words.

Unfortunately, Dazai Osamu seemed to have some reservations and didn't say anything. But he shouldn't have known these things.

Therefore, he still needs to verify the conjecture by himself.

Mochizuki Kaoru made up her mind.

"..." The only response to his words was the soft breathing sound coming from the other end of the phone.

Dazai Osamu fell silent for the nth time.

Yes, of course what he said was right, and Dazai Osamu could certainly guess it and see it clearly - because "Mochizuki Kaoru" was that kind of person.

Just as he would not stop Dazai Osamu - because that was his own choice, and as a friend, he respected all his choices; but no one could stop or change him - because he would always only believe in his own judgment, and in his nature that no one could see clearly, he had always been a very selfish and arrogant guy.

More than two years was enough time for Dazai Osamu to understand some of Mochizuki Kaoru's true character hidden beneath the sea.

A friend wanted to kill himself in another world. Once he was involved in such a thing, it became a problem that Mochizuki Kaoru had to find out no matter what. He absolutely could not tolerate himself knowing nothing about everything.

Even if Dazai told him everything, he would still verify it himself to get everything clear.

Is the "Dazai Osamu" in another world necessarily "Dazai Osamu" or not "Dazai Osamu"? This does not seem to be the case for Mochizuki Kaoru.

Originally, Dazai Osamu intended to kill "Dazai Osamu" while keeping the secret from Mochizuki Kaoru as much as possible. For this reason, he also calculated that Mochizuki Kaoru's "seclusion" this time should be like the previous one, staying indoors for more than half a month...

Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, he happened to go out today—and happened to bump into "X".

It seemed as if even the world was playing a joke on him.

"I hope you and I can both gain something and get what we want, Dazai. Goodbye."

Mochizuki Kaoru hung up the phone in a calm tone.

Dazai Osamu stared at the hung up phone in a daze, and had a vague premonition in his heart - perhaps this time, the "Dazai Osamu" who would stand on the opposite side of Teacher Mochizuki would become him.
