About the years I played the role

Chapter 9 The Literary Hero

Oda slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was the bench he had visited many times, as if this place had become some kind of fixed place.

If there were other people around, they might be startled by this person who appeared out of thin air, but this place is remote, and there is no second human being besides Oda.

He still maintains a human form, and has not changed back to a cat due to the world transformation.

"Then, let's go back to the detective agency first."

Oda whispered to himself, and walked step by step in the direction of the detective agency.

It's not far from the location of the detective agency, but it's not too close.When he was walking, the scene of Osamu Dazai falling in front of him in the parallel world was still in his mind. The red scarf was loosely wrapped around Dazai's neck. After being blown up by the wind, it looked like a hanging rope for no reason.

Boom, boom.

The regular knock on the door broke the silence of the detective agency at the moment. After two knocks, the person who knocked on the door stopped moving. He held the doorknob and turned it downward to make a soft sound, and was pushed away from the outside to the inside.

It was Oda Sakunosuke who disappeared for a day.

Osamu Dazai lay on the sofa, tidied up the scattered bandages on his arms, and wrapped them around again.

The unknown soul occupying the body of Inoue Sakurako left with Kunikida Doppo and the others, and no one present was involved in such things as "exorcism". .

"I am back."

Oda's tone was as calm as ever, as if he hadn't been transported by Inoue Sakurako to the turbulent time and space where he was almost dead, but just traveled to a certain place for a day.The detective agency is not full of people, except for Edogawa Ranpo and Dazai Osamu, no one else has been seen.

"Welcome back, Oda Tsukuru." Osamu Dazai sat up from the sofa, and he tied the last piece of bandage casually to prevent it from unraveling like before.

He saw that Oda was puzzled, and approached with a smile: "Kunikida and Atsushi went to Inoue's house to investigate."

"By the way, Odasaku knows about Ms. Inoue, right?"

"...Ah, I probably know something."

Oda didn't intend to hide this. Rather, when he received the task of "repelling the intruders", he thought clearly that he couldn't hide from the people of the detective agency. The two days of getting along were just trying to play "Oda Sakunosuke" this role.

Regarding Sakurako Inoue and her system, Oda has never concealed the information he knows.

But thinking about it this way, he couldn't just say that Yingko Inoue carried the system, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep his vest if he said it.

Oda was ready to share the information with everyone in the detective agency, but Osamu Dazai didn't continue to ask, as if he just wanted to get an answer.

Dazai suddenly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Dun-kun received a threatening text message from a rival in love."

...Rival?

The question mark above Oda's head almost materialized.

It turns out that Don already has someone he likes?

"Pfft." Dazai couldn't help laughing, and after attracting Oda's gaze, he quickly changed to seriousness, "It's true, that rival in love who doesn't know whether he is a man or a woman wrote to Atsushi that 'the farther away from Akutagawa Ryunosuke, the more Okay, everyone else in the detective agency has seen sentences like this."

"Mr. Dazai?!"

Atsushi, who is sensitive to the five senses because of his ability to transform into a tiger, heard Osamu Dazai talking to Oda before he opened the door. Atsushi Nakajima, who felt that his reputation had been seriously damaged, was blushing.

"Although Akutagawa was mentioned, he is definitely not a rival in love." Atsushi Nakajima reacted and quickly retorted, "Mr. Dazai, please don't tell Mr. Oda something weird."

Dazai spread his hands innocently: "I'm telling the truth, that sentence is indeed in the text message."

Atsushi Nakajima: "...Even so..." His tone was weak, and he couldn't find anything to deny.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke is in a very bad mood right now.

The person who sent him messages and called him would have temporarily stopped while he was doing tasks, but now he had just rushed into the enemy organization's base camp, and his phone was buzzing and vibrating non-stop.

Akutagawa couldn't help it, in order to avoid being distracted, he took out his phone and threw it out, but the humming followed his ears like a shadow.

"Tricks of supernatural beings..." Akutagawa gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words, and the black beast released a strong anger according to its master's mood, killing all the enemies around it.

This place is just the base camp of a little-known small organization, and there was no need for Akutagawa to dispatch it originally, but he was really annoyed by the person hiding in the dark, so he took the task and brought a few people to clean it up.

There was no sign of the enemy surviving as far as he could see, "Rashomon" turned into a black beast and retreated to the hem of his clothes, Akutagawa turned and left here, unexpectedly seeing a familiar person nearby.

"Human tiger?" Akutagawa stopped in his footsteps, and his subordinates who were supposed to wait nearby for him to come out were nowhere to be seen. Standing on the bank of the river, Nakajima Atsushi exuded a strange sense of disobedience.

Atsushi Nakajima stared at him, without malice, but far more disgusting than pure disgust.

This sight...

"Rashomon!" "

The black beast followed Akutagawa's command and attacked 'Nakajima Atsushi', and just a second before it was about to touch, the figure dissipated in place like a bubble.Distorted traces were faintly revealed in the space around him—a space-type supernatural being?

The space behind him suddenly shattered, and the strong suction tried to drag him into the darkness. "Rashomon" turned into an 'anchor' that he fixed on the ground, and quickly split another one to sweep around - nothing.

The suction became stronger and stronger, and the 'anchor' left deep scratches on the ground, unable to let Ryunosuke Akutagawa break free.

Coughing uncontrollably, Akutagawa immediately remembered the look in the eyes of "Atsushi Nakajima" just now - the extremely explicit obsession with love.

'It must be that guy. Akutagawa thought, it must be the psychic who hides his head and shows his tail, filling his phone with spam text messages and endless one-sided calls.

The 'anchor' disappeared completely, and Akutagawa saw nothingness fluctuating somewhere in the space, and a figure appeared there.

——"Mr. Dazai?!"

"Akutagawa is missing."

This was the first sentence Nakahara Chuya came to the detective agency. Gravity made him feel restless, and he went to the detective agency to find the detective according to the leader's instructions.However, he raised his eyes to look inside the detective agency, and was really shocked.

"Oda Sakunosuke?" Nakahara Chuya looked suspicious, he didn't know the name at first.Later, I accidentally learned that it was related to Osamu Dazai, so I kept my mind and checked all the way down, and learned the general situation.

But in any case, 'Oda Sakunosuke' should be a dead man through and through, but now he is standing in the detective agency.

Nakahara is also convinced that he has never seen this person before when he came to the detective agency, and Dazai Osamu can directly rule out the possibility that it is a disguise of a supernatural person.

He suppressed his doubts for the time being, the most important thing now is to find Akutagawa.

"I'll be fine for the time being." Ranbu's eyes were fully opened, his emerald green pupils were concealed by glasses, and he clicked his tongue.

"Extreme self-love... sure enough."

"Is it related to Akutagawa's recent harassment?" Nakahara immediately caught the point, recalling the phone that disappeared with Akutagawa, "I didn't expect this at all for a while..."

"So, Chuya is just a stupid slug." Dazai Osamu suddenly said, and Nakahara Nakaya said viciously, "Want to fight, you bastard mackerel!" Afterwards, he felt bored, and turned his head to let out a short 'tch'.

Nakahara Chuya: ...it's hard, the fist is hard.

Edogawa Ranpo suddenly looked at Oda at the side, seeming to have glanced over it unintentionally but didn't point it out directly, he took off his glasses: "It's not that I didn't expect it, it's because I was disturbed."

"How many people?"

"Mr. Hat answered wrongly. There was only one person from the beginning to the end."

"Could it be a psychic superpower... It's getting tricky."

"Okay is an ordinary person with no different abilities, but Chuya is really stupid." Dazai Osamu taunted for the second time, not forgetting to bring Oda, "Are you right, Oda Tsukuru."

"Huh?!" Nakahara Chuya clenched his fists to restrain the thought of beating Dazai into the ground on the spot, "I wanted to say just now, who is this guy? Your detective agency didn't have this guy a few days ago, right?"

Oda: "I joined not long ago."

Nakahara Chuya: "...Any questions are answered, you."

"But in terms of being able to interfere with people's thinking, it is impossible for ordinary people without supernatural powers to do it."

"Let's leave it to Sakunosuke to explain this kind of thing." Edogawa Ranpo sighed leisurely, "The famous detective has also been disturbed—although it's not the same kind."

"Ah," Oda responded subconsciously, and then began to conceive the language: "It may be troublesome to explain, and it has something to do with me coming here."

madman.

This word popped up when Akutagawa saw that the walls of this room were full of his photos, and the order of arrangement was a bit messy.There are even pictures of him when he was working in Hong Kong and Heilongjiang in the photos. From the angle of view, they seem to be right in front of him, and one after another is pasted all over the wall, which is creepy.

There is only Akutagawa alone in the room, and there are no windows or doors, giving people a sense of crampedness for no reason.He tried to break the wall with "Rashomon", and all the damage was returned to himself.

He is stuck.

The facts are obvious.Unable to find a way to leave, Akutagawa could only search for clues around the room. The place is empty and there are no tables, probably because the owner does not live there often.

Or maybe it's the space constructed by the supernatural beings.

Along with this thought came the picture of himself being dragged here without any resistance, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's eyes were fierce, determined to catch this hiding guy and kill him.

The dust that flew up from nowhere entered his nose and nose, Akutagawa couldn't hold back his cough, his cheeks flushed from coughing.

A sense of voyeurism emerges at this moment, Akutagawa is like a bird in a cage for anyone to watch.

"Disgusting."

When he commented like this, the ubiquitous sense of voyeurism was withdrawn in an instant, as if irritated by his words, a silver chain suddenly protruded from the corner of the wall, attacking flexibly like a long whip.

"Rashomon" constructed a barrier in front of him to block the menacing blow, and then the barrier receded like a tide, and the controlled chain disappeared.

Only Akutagawa and the room were silent again.
