Chapter 068 Councillor Mori

The motion went smoothly, and with the cooperation of several parties, there was almost nothing that could not be accomplished.

As the person who proposed the proposal, Chidori, who had been pushing it like crazy in the early days, now has a weaker presence.

As Chidori's nominal adopted son, Dazai Osamu began to take his place in various activities that required him to appear in person, or to monitor the progress of proposals.

However, sometimes, Dazai Osamu was still unwilling, but Chidori really knew how to deal with him, and even entrusted Oda Sakunosuke who went to the detective agency to work with him.

Chidori looked at the bunch of complaints from Dazai Osamu on her phone, the smile in her eyes deepened, and she put the phone away only when she heard the familiar footsteps outside.

Alice opened the door, holding several beautifully wrapped gift boxes and some familiar dessert packages in her arms.

She seemed to be in a good mood and was not angry at being called by Chidori at short notice.

"Oh, Rintaro, this world's Chuuya is still very cute, these are all given to me by him!"

Alice smiled sweetly, put the things in her arms on the table, and hummed a song.

Few people know that she has self-awareness, but even when Nakahara Chuuya treats a superpower, he still treats her as a child.

I would bring desserts and local specialties to Alice, and sometimes if I saw beautiful hair accessories and dresses I would also bring them to her.

Chidori helped her put the boxes away and asked softly, "It looks like Chuuya is doing well."

After coming to this world, he has not yet come into contact with this world's Nakahara Chuuya, but there is actually no need for that.

The regret that belongs to Chuuya Nakahara is irreversible, and the other party has never felt regretful. Whoever he pledges allegiance to, he will devote himself to the other party wholeheartedly.

Therefore, even if they get close, the other party will not give Chidori any special treatment. He will always be a gravity user belonging to Hong Kong/Black.

This Chuuya is already a dazzling diamond and does not need any further polishing.

Alice lowered her eyes and said softly, "Yes, Nakaya in this world is very good. You don't need to get close to an idiot like Rintaro."

Chidori didn't comment. He reached out and rubbed Alice's head, but the smile in his eyes didn't reach his eyes: "Alice-chan, you know your limits, right?"

"Of course," Alice raised her head, her eyes showing an inhuman coldness, "I am much more sober than Rintaro."

Chidori chuckled and stood up, wrapped in a black coat, his aura carried a hint of gentle coldness.

"Jasmine." He called Alice like this. The called psychic stopped moving and raised its head to look at Chidori obediently.

At this moment, Alice was even more obedient than a pet, with astonishing concentration in her blue eyes.

They are now in Chidori's office, which is part of the Special Forces Division. Chidori is not very interested in reforming the Special Forces Division, but they have something they must find.

During this period of time, Chidori finally got the chance to see with his own eyes the cornerstone of this world - [books].

Legend has it that if you write a logical story, it will come true and change the world.

"Let's go," Chidori stood up, tied his hair neatly, and gave a standard business smile, "It's almost time."

Alice blinked slowly and lightly touched the ribbon of the gift box on the table with her fingers. In the end, she did nothing and decisively turned around and followed Chidori.

Due to the importance of the [Book], not many members of the Special Powers Department knew of its existence, so only Taneda Sanhuotou led him there.

On the way, he kept repeating the rules and requirements to Chidori. It was obvious that even if he agreed, he couldn't completely let go.

Chidori held Alice's hand, and the girl with an innocent smile simply ignored what the other person said.

When it comes to [books], they know the most.

————————

[The book] was sealed in an absolutely confidential location, and they had no idea how many levels of verification they had gone through before they finally saw the pages of the book, which looked like ordinary white paper.

Alice looked through the glass, and her beautiful blue eyes, as clear as glass beads, seemed to flash with an invisible light.

She held Chidori's hand a little tighter and told her that the book in front of them was indeed the one they knew.

"Thank you, Mr. Taneda. I won't go in. I'll let my Alice-chan go," Chidori turned to Taneda Sanhuotou and said in a gentle voice, "[The book] needs to be written to take effect. I think you already know this."

Zhongtian Shanhuotou was silent for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

It was obvious that the other party knew the book very well, so it was useless for them to hide it, especially since the other party had already offered an equal deal.

Alice seemed not to understand how serious this situation was. She skipped into the locked room and placed her fair and delicate hands lightly on the book.

She really did nothing. There was no light representing supernatural powers being activated, and the machine that detected supernatural power fluctuations did not change. She just gently stroked these [pages].

Alice really just touched it lightly, then continued to jump out and raised her hand to hold Chidori.

Taneda Sanhuotou stared at the two men for a while, and finally gave them a standard smile and asked them to leave.

The position of the [book] has to be changed again, but this is not something they should know.

As the master of super powers, Chidori can communicate with Alice without opening her mouth.

After coming out, Alice said to him unhappily, "I got it, Rintaro. I really hate this thing after all."

"Thank you for your hard work, Jasmine," Chidori said soothingly, quite happily, "After we pass all the responsibilities to Dazai-kun, we'll find time to go back."

Alice fell silent after hearing this. She looked up at Chidori, then grabbed the hand holding hers and replied seriously, "Okay."

————————

While Chidori was having fun playing with Alice, Dazai Osamu was smiling as he dealt with the American Monopoly man in front of him.

Fitzgerald was obviously very satisfied with this cooperation, but giving money alone was certainly not enough. He even wanted to come to Yokohama in person.

It was already chaotic enough here, and there was no need for more trouble, so Dazai Osamu smiled and said a lot before the other party gave up the idea.

After talking to the other party, he had to go to Ferris Street in person to check the progress and go to Hong Kong/Heicui Senou to pay the money quickly.

Oh my God, how did he get to this point? Dazai Osamu grabbed his hair and lay lazily on the table, not wanting to move.

Oda Sakunosuke, who had just prepared the car, came back and saw Dazai Osamu, who looked like a salted fish. A smile flashed in his eyes and he tapped the table lightly.

"Dazai, the car is ready, we can set off." He urged as if he was coaxing a child, waiting for the other party's response.

Dazai Osamu shook his head and said in a dragging voice: "Ah - I'm so tired. It turns out that work is the most troublesome thing."

"But Dazai has done a great job," Oda Sakunosuke smiled, his face showing the happiness of a comfortable life, "Dazai is happier now than before."

Dazai remained silent and did not answer. He had friends to keep him company, committed suicide occasionally, dealt with some work, and played with his dog when he had time. As a result, he had no time to think about the meaning of things.

But sure enough, sometimes he still had that familiar feeling of emptiness, as if those emotions only came for a moment and then disappeared, unable to fill his empty soul.

Oda Sakunosuke seemed to have noticed something and was about to speak, but he noticed familiar footsteps outside the door.

"Oda-kun, thank you for your help." Chidori pushed the door open naturally and spoke to Oda Sakunosuke in the manner of a host.

Alice moved closer to Dazai Osamu, not daring to touch him, but curiously looking at the young man who had fallen into gloom again.

Chidori chatted briefly with Oda Sakunosuke and then let him go back, saying that he was given a day off and his salary would remain the same.

After saying that, Chidori sat down leisurely opposite Dazai Osamu. He just supported his head and looked at Dazai Osamu, knocking on the table repeatedly, making crisp sounds.

A minute later, Dazai Osamu raised his head impatiently, his iris-colored eyes darkened at this moment, staring at Chidori like a male ghost in the black mud.

Chidori smiled instead. He seemed to have relaxed a lot recently. The domineering aura he had was almost gone. He seemed like a really gentle elder.

"Dazai, how's work going?" He still asked, looking like he wanted to have a serious talk with Dazai Osamu.

Dazai Osamu was disgusted by this posture and pulled back a distance. After a long while, he muttered and replied: "That's it. There is no difference from before."

He seems to have gained some weight compared to when he was in Hong Kong/Heilongjiang, and his overall mental state is also better. Although not much better, it is definitely getting better.

"Mr. Mori, to be honest, if I really want to accomplish what you expect, one or two years is not enough," Dazai Osamu squinted his eyes lazily, his slightly curly hair fluffy, "and I think I will soon get tired of this kind of life."

It's rare for Dazai Osamu to speak the truth. Maybe he did it now because Chidori was staring at him and he was somewhat interested in it, but he would probably feel bored and uninterested like he did in Hong Kong/Heilongjiang later.

Chidori was not surprised by this. He raised his eyebrows and said in a gentle but unyielding voice: "Even so, I won't let you go."

He never gave Dazai Osamu a second choice from the beginning to the end. After all, he created such a good environment for Dazai, so it wouldn't be too much to ask for some reward.

"Dazai, why do people live?" Chidori said with a smile, "Oda-kun should have told you this before, when he personally felt death."

Dazai was silent for a moment, frowned and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chidori again: "Everyone's answer is different, you don't need to tell me anything now."

Chidori took out a book from somewhere. On the red cover was written Dazai Osamu's familiar words: "Complete Suicide Manual"

He pushed the book to Dazai Osamu, his movements inexplicably heavy, but his expression was relaxed.

"Dazai, you may not be able to bear the weight of the world right now, but it doesn't matter. You are not the only one in the world. Live happily."

Dazai Osamu's gaze fell from Chidori's face to the book. He had a hunch that this was the thing that would make Mori Ogai willing to work for him.

With a conflicting feeling in her heart, Chidori waited patiently and even chatted with Alice. She seemed quite relaxed.

In the end, Dazai Osamu raised his hand. His feeling told him that he could not miss this opportunity.

And the person on the other side seemed to be giving him time, but he knew that once he chose to give up, the other side would definitely force himself to accept it.

He doesn't want to join hands with Sen Ouwai, it's better for him to do it himself first!

————————

When his hand touched the book, a light belonging to [No Longer Human] suddenly appeared, and Dazai Osamu's eyes went blank as if he was drowning.

Memories from countless world lines swarmed in, and he even felt that his head was about to explode at that moment. The chaotic information was infinitely absorbed by his intelligent brain.

The death of Oda Sakunosuke, the situation of the detective agency, the birth of the new double black, Fukuchi Sakurachi and Fyodor, and Dazai Osamu with different identities in different world lines.

At this moment, he obtained the memories of Dazai Osamu from countless world lines, including this world line belonging to Councilman Mori.

No, that's not right. He didn't observe it. Mori Ougai also used [the book] to influence him and let him see it.

He wished he knew why Sen Ou Wai was so determined that he would do his job obediently. How could he bear not to protect such a beautiful world, a world that had never been lost?

Dazai Osamu covered his head and clenched his teeth as he absorbed the information. He was not completely unconscious yet, after all, he still had to sort out the information.

Seeing him like this, Chidori sighed, cleared Dazai Osamu's schedule for the next two days, and lay down on the sofa with him, waiting for him to wake up.

Tsk, didn't Mr. Mori predict this?! Dazai Osamu was unhappy, as if someone had suddenly given him an expensive gift, and he didn't know what to do.

Let him see what Mr. Mori wants him to see by inserting his own world line.

How did this person come here and what was he doing when he came?

After all, he had been curious for a long time about the look of relief and sadness on Mori Ouwai's face at the end of the negotiation!
