Chapter 282 The Third Player

By the time Oda appeared before Dazai Osamu, everything was over.

Although he tried his best to rush over as quickly as possible, the materialization of his supernatural power created by Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's "Ryuhiko Space" caused him a lot of trouble. In addition, the thick fog that covered everything and made it difficult to see things in the distance slowed down his pace.

"Dazai!" The moment he saw Dazai Osamu, he first noticed that he was still safe and sound. He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, you are okay, right?"

Then the next moment he realized something was wrong.

Dazai Osamu was half-kneeling on the ground, with his head down, staring blankly and unable to see anything magical, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand.

"Odasaku..."

Dazai Osamu looked at him, and it seemed that he wanted to lift his lips into the shape of a "smile", but because he was too stiff, the half-raised arc remained stagnant for a long time before falling back heavily, finally forming a twisted and weird "smile" that looked uglier than crying.

"I failed..." he said. "What did I do wrong? Why...why couldn't I stop Mr. Mochizuki? Why couldn't I do it?"

He lowered his head and looked at his open palms - in one of his hands, he still held a small piece of sleeve that he had torn off by his quick swing of the knife when he was trying to stop Mochizuki Kaoru. It was probably the only thing left of Mochizuki Kaoru that he still had in his hands. A look of fragile confusion appeared in his eyes.

"Mr. Mochizuki?" Oda was startled, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "Mr. Mochizuki is here too? Dazai, what happened?"

"I thought I could do it... but it all ended up being a mess..." Dazai Osamu raised his head and said in a low voice: "Teacher Mochizuki left after all. Odasaku, I don't understand. Why?"

Why didn't he do it? Why did Mr. Mochizuki still make this choice?

The clearer he became, the more painful and confused he felt. A hint of confusion appeared on Dazai Osamu's face.

There was too little information to analyze, but Odasaku still heard an important message: Mochizuki Kaoru "left" on his own, and Dazai Osamu was unable to stop his actions.

"Calm down, Dazai!" He held Dazai's shoulders with both hands and looked at him, forcing him to calm down now - his current state was too chaotic, almost like he was on the verge of collapse. Although it seemed that something was pulling the string of his collapse tightly, Odasaku could not guarantee that the string would not break at any time. There was also an unidentified white-haired man next to him, and it was not clear whether he was an enemy or a friend. It was too dangerous.

"Mr. Mochizuki left on his own, right?" His voice was as calm and steady as ever: "You have to trust him, Dazai. He never does anything without confidence."

"He took the initiative to create a special point of supernatural power that can tear through time and space, and then took the initiative to step deep into it. Even if he is a supernatural life form, he probably can't support it for too long. The best result in the end is probably to get lost in another space. Of course, the greater possibility is that he will die. In the end, his supernatural power is exhausted and he dies in the alien space."

The one who suddenly spoke was Shibuzawa Tatsuhiko. The white-haired, red-eyed young man nodded at Odasaku and smiled calmly: "I also want to thank Dazai-kun and Mochizuki-kun for presenting me with such a wonderful and interesting drama."

Dazai Jizhi returned to the cage, stood up shakily, and turned his head slowly like a machine to look at Shibuzawa Ryuhiko. There was a dead silence in his iris-colored eyes, and the expression on his face disappeared completely: "Shut up."

"Why deceive yourself, Dazai-kun?" Shibuzawa Ryuhiko was not afraid of his appearance at all, and even smiled slowly: "You know it very well, don't you? What Mochizuki-kun said before he disappeared was nothing more than a little false comfort. In fact, there is no possibility that he can come back alive."

Dazai Osamu suddenly stepped forward and punched Shibuzawa Ryuhiko in the face. With his other hand, he tightly grasped Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's sleeve, with a grim anger on his face: "Didn't you hear me tell you to shut up? He won't die."

Although Shibuzawa Ryuhiko had been dancing in Dazai Osamu's minefield, he had never expected that he would suddenly attack him, so he was caught off guard and took a solid punch from Dazai Osamu. He couldn't help but groan, and finally stopped talking.

As expected of the Mafia... No matter how fragile they appear on the surface, their behavior is still simple and brutal at heart.

Odasaku frowned, pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Shibuzawa Ryuhiko: "Chief, is he an enemy?"

"Enemy? No, no, I have no intention of going against the Port Mafia. Besides, Dazai-kun and I are close allies, right?"

Shibuzawa Ryuhiko shook his head and retorted. Even though he had just been punched by Dazai Osamu, he still smiled at Odasaku and said, "You are the first person with special abilities who can stay safe and sound in my "Ryuhiko Room". It's a pity that you appeared too late and didn't have time to watch the end of such a grand and magnificent drama... What a pity. Mochizuki's final action was a very unexpected choice."

But I still didn't dare to say to Dazai Osamu and Oda Saku that "Mochizuki Kaoru is dead" - I have to say, the punch from Dazai Osamu was still very painful.

Although he didn't see the "book", he was satisfied to see that scene. Not many people can accept their own death. He only saw one person, Mochizuki Kaoru, who guessed the cause of his own death and even took the initiative to die. Shibuzawa Ryuhiko thought that the other party was obviously a smart person, but he couldn't guess what he was thinking... His behavior was completely beyond his expectations.

I couldn't understand what he was saying...Oda Saku remained unmoved.

"It's an enemy. Odasaku, take him back to the deepest prison in Hong Kong's underworld."

Dazai Osamu suppressed all his expressions and spoke softly.

He loosened his grip on Shigezawa Ryuhiko's collar and gave him a cold smile: "Thanks to you for reminding me, Shigezawa-kun, otherwise I would have forgotten your existence. Knowing so many secrets of the gang, how long do you think a smart person like you can live?"

The leader's words were orders, and Oda Saku tied up Shibuzawa Ryuhiko without saying a word.

Seeing that what he said was true, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, who was originally smiling, changed his expression slightly: "I am from the Special Powers Special Agent Department."

Dazai Osamu asked back: "Who would know?"

There are only three of them here. Even if he brought Shibuzawa Ryuhiko back to the Port Mafia, who would know that it was him who did it, rather than Shibuzawa Ryuhiko running away again?

Although he had already decided to take Shibuzawa Ryuhiko to Hong Kong and jail him to death after getting rid of that guy - after all, apart from anything else, the fact that he knew about the "book" was enough for him to jail Shibuzawa Ryuhiko to death. But originally, he had no intention of paying attention to Shibuzawa Ryuhiko at all, because this guy was so good at dancing in the minefield that Dazai Osamu had to pay attention to his existence again.

After getting rid of Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's existence, Dazai Osamu turned his head to look at Odasaku and whispered to him everything that had happened here before.

"I was too arrogant, which led to this result..."

Dazai Osamu blinked his eyes, his long eyelashes covering the expression in his eyes, but fortunately this time he seemed to be much calmer and more rational: "But don't believe him, Odasaku. Mr. Mochizuki told me that he would come back. He also asked me to help take care of his flowers."

Will it really come back?

Just like what Shibuzawa Ryuhiko said, he probably won't come back.

Mochizuki Kaoru's choice was right. Just as he said, the special features created by his special ability can forcibly tear apart time and space - and only he can do it. There is no better choice than this.

Perhaps that is why even Dazai Osamu could not stop his choice.

Dazai and Odasaku both knew that the possibility of him coming back safely was very slim, much slimmer than the probability of Dazai picking up the "book". But Odasaku still whispered, "Yes, he will definitely come back."

He has not had time to see the flowers he planted bloom, the books he wrote but has not had time to finish, the people he needs to take care of but have not had time to grow up, and the people who are waiting for him but have not yet arrived... All these can only be seen after he returns.

So he will come back.

So, just wait for the day when he comes back. Until then, remember to take good care of his flowers.
