Chapter 257 The Third Player
Mori Ouwai remained calm: "Mr. Wangyue, you are joking. I am just the director of a small orphanage. What big deal does the port mafia have to do with me?"
"What if there are two almost identical leaders of the Port Mafia, and the leader orders a hunt for me?"
Saikai Haruto opened his mouth and lied: "If this continues, it will not only be the port mafia that will be in chaos, I'm afraid the whole of Yokohama will be dragged into it next."
"Two leaders of the Hong Kong gang have appeared. Mochizuki-kun, are you talking about Dazai-kun?"
Mori Ou's aura suddenly became extremely powerful for a moment. Although it disappeared again in a short moment, people could still see that his past as the "Hong Kong underworld leader" was real.
——As expected, it is absolutely impossible to say that Mori Ogai can be completely at ease and not care about the Hong Kong underworld or the affairs of Yokohama.
Steady control.
Xihai Qingdou gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
"Oh, that's scary. Mr. Mori, please don't look at me like that. I didn't give that order." "Dazai Osamu" narrowed his eyes.
Xihai Qingdou nodded slightly.
"Regarding this... Dazai-kun from another world, I think it would be better for Dazai-kun and Mr. Mori to explain it himself."
"That's really too much, Mr. Mochizuki. Did you bring me to Mr. Mori's place just to leave me here alone?"
"Dazai Osamu" complained sincerely: "So Mr. Mochizuki has long considered me a burden and has decided to throw me away?"
As expected, all men are big liars... Ah, it seems that he accidentally brought himself in? As expected, all the NPCs in "Bungo Isoku" are liars. On the surface, they are more sincere and reliable than each other, but in fact, they can sell people out in a blink of an eye. Even a passerby NPC who did not appear in the original work is a liar without blinking an eye.
Did she not want to bring him with her? Was she going to do something that he couldn't go with? Or, she couldn't let him know... Sure enough, there were a few idiots hanging out with Dazai Osamu. He originally thought that Mochizuki Kaoru believed his words, if not 80% or 90%, at least 60% or 70%... Now it seems that maybe she only believed 20% or 30%, or even 30% or 40%.
As expected, it was too unrealistic for him to expect the other party to be as easy to deceive as Nakahara Chuuya. "Dazai Osamu" sighed in his heart and suppressed his little disappointment. As expected, he thought too much. Nakahara Chuuya would not be the only one who was easy to deceive, right?
"…That's so untrue, Dazai-kun."
Seeing through his tricks completely, Xi Haiqing Dou's face was full of "I want to see how you can act" and he said, "I just have other things to do. If you want to be safe, there is no better choice than here, right? Aren't you still worried that something might happen to Mr. Mori here?"
"I'm afraid Mr. Mori may not welcome me."
"How could that be? Mr. Mori is not such a petty person." Xi Haiqingdou added smoothly.
Mori Ogai, who remained silent, said: …
"Mr. Mochizuki is really good at talking. You really think too highly of me." The two of them started to act out in front of him. Mori Oo sighed: "If Mr. Mochizuki says what he wants to say, wouldn't it be too stingy for me to disagree?"
"Well, please trouble this... Dazai-kun to stay in this small room for a while. I, Mori, also want to know what the details are of the things you two just talked about." Mori Osamu hid the curiosity in his eyes and smiled calmly at "Dazai Osamu".
"Dazai Osamu": ...I suddenly felt a chill on my back. Is he getting goosebumps?
Dazai Osamu blinked his eyes and said, "So no one really asks for my opinion anymore?"
Alice kept her distance from him just like she always did to Dazai Osamu. She put one hand on her waist and made a childish face at him in dissatisfaction: "Yes, Alice hates you and wants to throw you out!"
Saikai Haruto: "I know Dazai-kun will make the best choice."
Mori Ogai: "I never thought that Mochizuki-kun would trust me so much. I am really flattered."
Xi Haiqing Dou and he looked at each other, and there seemed to be some kind of silent understanding. He nodded gently: "Then I will trouble Mr. Mori."
No one cares about "Dazai Osamu".
"Dazai Osamu" chuckled, the sound so light that it seemed like an illusion.
"The right choice"? Whether it was him or the "leader", did they look like someone who would entrust their safety to someone else? He didn't believe that Mochizuki Kaoru had any good intentions in sending him to Morioga.
The opponent is Mori Ogai - in terms of intelligence, even Dazai Osamu could be considered his student. If there is anyone who can be said to be able to restrain him, Mori Ogai is indeed a very good choice.
Sending him to Senouwai was a very smart move. Are they not afraid that he will run away, or are they not worried that he will run away, or are they completely indifferent to him running away?
...But he is definitely going to run away. I hope Mochizuki Kaoru and Mori Ougai can be mentally prepared for this...I think they should be, right?
Mori Ogai only sent Mochizuki Kaoru to the door...as if it was just a symbolic gesture.
"Mochizuki-kun, I wonder how the Hong Kong-bashing Dazai-kun is doing now?"
Mori Ogai asked, "Have Mochizuki-kun and Dazai-kun always had a good relationship?"
"Mr. Mori, don't worry. Dazai...he always knows when to act."
A hint of embarrassment and helplessness flashed across Saikai Haruto's face, as if he felt that what he said was a little untenable - after all, the major things that Dazai Osamu had done did not make people see the appearance of being "proper" at all.
But he quickly calmed down and smiled casually as if nothing had happened: "This time will be no exception. No matter whether it is the Ganghei or Dazai-kun, nothing will happen."
——Well, no matter whether he is sure of himself or not, he must at least be confident. He must give his child face in public and must not let others see that he is feeling guilty.
There was something subtle about Mori Ougai's expression, as if he was saying "Do you think he believes it?"
After all, he was a half-teacher who had taught Dazai Osamu for a year, so he had some understanding of Dazai Osamu's gruesome personality.
I just never thought that one day Mochizuki Kaoru would tell lies with her eyes closed that no one would believe?
"Dazai and I have always been friends." In response to Moriou's second question, Saikai Haruto simply said.
Mori Ogai: I can see that.
"Since you, Mochizuki-kun, who has never been willing to join the Hong Kong underworld or get involved in matters related to the Hong Kong underworld, took the initiative to come to me and say these words, it seems that the relationship between Mochizuki-kun and Dazai-kun is really very good." Mori Ogai smiled.
He would not admit that he felt a little sour in his heart for just two seconds - he had only checked the information of Mochizuki Kaoru before, and just had a slight thought about whether to bring her to the Hong Kong underworld - it is normal for such a psychic with powerful superpowers and strong intelligence gathering capabilities to want to bring people closer to his blueprint, right?
Then, Kaoru Mochizuki almost pulled his underwear off, almost making him question his life: Is his part-time job as an intelligence dealer really that bad? Or is it just the difference between a famous European intelligence dealer and an unknown underground black doctor in Yokohama?
Coupled with the fact that Mochizuki Kaoru herself strongly refused to be dragged into anything related to the mafia, Mori Ougai gave up the idea from then on.
Unexpectedly, one day, Mochizuki Kaoru took the initiative to wade into the muddy water?
In response to Mori Ougai's words, Xi Haiqing Dou also responded with a faint smile, as if he tacitly agreed with his words.
"Mr. Mori knows that I have very few friends. I can't let a minor who is younger than me deal with so many problems alone. It's not just about him, but also about me."
Saikai Haruto said, "Otherwise, as a friend who has grown up for many years, it would be too unqualified."
Mori Ou is in a subtle mood: Do you feel like you have been dissed?
Sure enough, he knew that the only reason that could make Mochizuki Kaoru come to him for help was for Dazai Osamu.
If there is a possibility that it is for Yokohama or for the port mafia...Mori Ogai sneered: If there is such a possibility, then it must be because he is not "Mochizuki Kaoru".
Unlike him, Natsume Soseki, or Fukuzawa Yukichi, Mochizuki Kaoru doesn't care about Yokohama... It's not like that, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to leave Europe and return to the city of Yokohama.
Is it the same as other people with special abilities who chose Yokohama because of the chaos in Yokohama, or who had to stay in Yokohama because their identities as special abilities were discovered? That's not the case - he neither uses his special abilities nor creates chaos in Yokohama, nor does he get involved in various disputes. It seems that he is just concentrating on being a "novelist" in anonymity... In his situation, it would be much better to choose other safe cities without so much chaos and disputes than to choose Yokohama, but he just stays in Yokohama, as if it is just because Yokohama is his "hometown".
But if you say that Mochizuki Kaoru cares about Yokohama... from outside Moriou's point of view, it's not that she really cares that much. That kind of care is like floating foam or feathers.
Whether it's the Port Mafia, the Armed Detective Agency, or the Special Powers Division, the other party doesn't care about any of them; Mori Ogai doesn't believe that Natsume-sensei has no thoughts about the existence of Mochizuki Kaoru, but the fact that he is still just "a mysterious novelist" for so many years is enough to prove something.
Mochizuki Kaoru is just like what he said - he just writes his novels and doesn't care about anything else. Oh, and occasionally saves people.
No matter what happened to the city of Yokohama, he didn't care. He even suspected that even if Yokohama was about to be destroyed one day... maybe he would just stand aside and sigh.
But, he actually came to him one day... Sen Ougai felt really complicated.
"Does Mochizuki-kun have anything else to say about that 'Dazai-kun'?" he asked.
"Mr. Lawson, keep him safe for now."
Saikai Haruto thought for a moment and said, "However, Dazai once told me not to believe anything that person said, no matter what. Regarding this, I hope Mr. Mori can make his own decision."
Mori Ogai nodded slowly.
"It is a blessing for Dazai-kun to have a friend like you, Mochizuki-kun."
"Maybe. But maybe it's my luck to be friends with Dazai."
Saikai Haruto said, "Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave now. Goodbye, Mr. Mori."
The phone vibrated slightly, Xi Haiqing Dou turned around and opened a message, then deleted them one by one without saying a word and turned off the phone screen again.
If someone had been able to see the completely deleted content on his phone before, they would have been able to see a few short conversations:
Yesterday.
Mochizuki: "Director Tsujimura, do you know the book?"
Tsujimura: "Where did Mr. Mochizuki know this?"
Mochizuki: "It seems that the Special Forces Department also knows about this. (Smile)"
Mochizuki: "Would you like to find time to meet?"
Tsujimura: “.”
Mochizuki: "Don't worry, I don't have any thoughts about the book itself."
Tsujimura: "Is it related to the Hong Kong gang leader who was suddenly hunted down?"
Tsujimura: "Mr. Mochizuki, are you free to go out for a cup of coffee tomorrow?"
Mochizuki: “Of course.”
just now.
Tsujimura: “(Address)”
Mochizuki: "See you in ten minutes."
