Killing an old enemy

Chapter 19

When Atsushi Shima saw that familiar figure walking in, he was stunned for a moment.

Did he read it right... Caesar in normal clothes?

"Are you here..." Before he could finish his words, he saw Nishizawa walking past him, walking towards the direction of Osamu Dazai lying on the sofa with his eyes closed.

The expressions of everyone in the detective agency changed, and they subconsciously looked at the individual figure sitting on the table. Apart from the president, he was the most authoritative existence in the eyes of everyone, but the other party did not make a sound to stop Nishizawa. Breaking in, he just suddenly opened his emerald green eyes and looked at him without blinking.

"Mr. Ranpo..."

Atsushi subconsciously called out his name.

But he was immediately stopped by the other party's eyes, and even puffed up his cheeks, shook his head, and looked at Caesar's figure with his chin raised in his hands.

Atsushi Shima: "..."

Kunikida Doppo lowered his head and continued to struggle with the computer in his hand. There was an explosion that they needed to deal with. Although there was no death, it should not be underestimated. Ranpo had no interest, so he was fishing. Even with Xie Ye Akiko also remained silent.

Everyone present at the detective agency unanimously indulged Nishizawa to walk in the direction of Osamu Dazai who was lying on the sofa.

Osamu Dazai didn't seem to know that someone came to him, he was still humming with his earphones, holding a book with a red cover whose name couldn't be read clearly.

"Dazai."

Caesar picked up the book and took off his earphones.

Osamu Dazai opened his eyes and said dissatisfiedly, "Kunikida, what are you doing?"

But it wasn't Kunikida alone, but someone he didn't expect to come to him, and Nishizawa looked down at him expressionlessly.

"..."

Osamu Dazai began to recall whether he had done anything to tease him, and then came to the conclusion that he had really kept his own place recently - of course, he didn't find an opportunity, this is the key, he didn't want to make trouble for himself at all.

Besides, although he usually has a bad relationship with Yuan Ye, he is not the type who is very keen on finding trouble for nothing.

But why did Caesar come to him?Could it be that he found out that he already knew what happened to the king?

Um...or...

……

So, after Datong's rehearsal of various scenarios, Osamu Dazai narrowed his kite-colored eyes and stared at Nishizawa for a while, took a long breath, and adjusted his expression.

In a few seconds, a smile emerged from the corner of his mouth, and he simply used a coquettish tone: "Caesar, tell me, why?"

"Yu is sleepy." Caesar said, he is fully awake now, "but after listening to your thoughts, Yu is no longer sleepy."

Osamu Dazai suspected that he was playing with him: "..."

What is the reason for this? !

Nishizawa turned over the stolen Osamu Dazai's book and read the name on the cover: "...Complete Suicide Manual."

"What is this?" He made a suspicious voice, "Teaching people to commit suicide?"

Osamu Dazai sat up, held Nishizawa's hands, and said with great interest: "It's very interesting, come on, open my head and have a look, it will definitely be very interesting."

"..." Caesar.

He really wanted to look at Dazai Osamu's memory, but he didn't know why he said that, so he couldn't do it at all.

He opened the pages of the book, and then looked through the ten lines. It only took a few minutes to turn over all the pages.

"Have you finished reading?" Osamu Dazai asked curiously, and turned a few times by himself, trying to imitate Nishizawa's reading action.

Caesar returned the book in his hand to him, and pondered: "Did I miss some ways to die?"

Osamu Dazai opened his eyes wide, and then posted it again. A series of questioning questions came out of his mouth quickly: "...What's wrong? I only tried a few of them, because I was really afraid of pain, so I entered the water It's my favorite genre, others like—”

Kunikida finally couldn't hold it anymore: "Dazai! What are you talking about, don't go crazy, don't teach others badly!"

After all, he looked at Caesar worriedly, but in fact the latter was quite adaptable except for being stunned when his hand was held.

Caesar is not shy about talking about death-related topics with others.

"I know what it feels like to be pierced by a bow and arrow, pierced by a sharp sword, and poisoned to death..." Caesar recalled, "Being pierced by a bow and arrow is the easiest way to die, because the arrow directly Squeeze the heart, other deaths are longer..."

Strange, why does he have these memories of death?

It is because he is the conscious body of the monarch of the Hittite Empire, so as a symbol, he should have the memory and pain of the moment they died, and he must pay the price.

What he said made Osamu Dazai stunned: "...have you died many times?"

However, humans have only one chance. Even if Caesar is a heroic spirit, he should die directly when he is an ordinary person, instead of repeatedly tasting the pain caused by death... This is really unfair Oh, Osamu Dazai clearly thought that death was the end.

This is the reason why he pursued death. What Caesar said at this moment completely overturned his cognition.

"Yu is different from the human beings you imagined. Yu was not a human being when he was alive."

Even Akiko Yosano, who was on the sidelines, cast hesitant glances.

— She is sensitive to the subject of death.

Because her supernatural ability is called "Please Don't Die", which can wake up the dying people on the verge of death, and take their lives back from the ruthless god of death. Could it be that Nishizawa...

"No, she really died." Caesar said, he certainly knew what she was thinking, "It's not repeated resurrection."

That pain is real, spanning time and space, and mercilessly engraved a brand on his Heroic Throne.

He looked down at Osamu Dazai: "If you think that death is the end, you are too naive. Whether it is hell or Hades, they both exist. When you die, it is often not the end, but the beginning of being judged— - Make meritorious deeds and become a heroic spirit, if you are an ordinary human being, you will become a vassal of death."

This is the cruelest and most ruthless level, no matter how much power and money you have when you are alive, the standard of judgment will not change.

The judgment rules of this world are a dead line, if you are not qualified, you will never step through that door.

The people in the detective agency were slightly dazzled by his words.

When Caesar talked about this kind of topic that has nothing to do with reality, a kind of inviolable temperament emerged from his body, which was a sense of distance and nothingness out of touch with this world... It's hard to imagine, he looks completely It's like an existence that won't stay because of a certain human being, like a monster with no heart at all.

At this moment, they clearly realized this.

Osamu Dazai must be hiding something from them, even the Hong Kong gangsters, because Nishizawa is obviously not from the same world as them, and the words that Osamu Dazai said suddenly flashed through his mind, "I'm afraid that if I say it, it will hurt people." Scared Dunjun", so...

What kind of existence is he?

"This book is useless. If you use this to escape, it is better to live well."

Nishizawa, who was being watched by all kinds of eyes, didn't respond. He just looked directly at Osamu Dazai, and his golden pupils made his body tremble: "Death is definitely not as beautiful as you think. There is no reason why everyone avoids it." Yes, if you want to continue killing yourself, go ahead, but the afterlife is even more disgusting."

Osamu Dazai's expression changed, but he calmed down quickly.

"Is that so?" For some reason, there was a sadness in his eyes that he tried to hide.

"Why did Yu lie to you?" Nishizawa asked back, he saw straight through Dazai Osamu's heart, and suddenly said, "If you want to ask that person named Oda..."

"Cough-cough-cough-!"

Osamu Dazai interrupted his sentence with a series of rapid coughing sounds, Nishizawa immediately closed his mouth, realizing that not everyone in the detective agency knew about this matter.

No wonder they all showed puzzled expressions because of the name "Oda".

It turned out to be a secret.

"If you still want to know, you can come and ask Yu." Caesar lowered his voice and said in a volume that only the two of them could hear.

Osamu Dazai's eyes darkened, and complex emotions flashed through his heart... Is this goodwill?After seeing through his past, is he still like this?

"Nishizawa came to me for more than this, right?" After losing control, Osamu Dazai quickly revealed his casual tone, and his kite-colored eyes flashed, "Or is it that Nishizawa's proposal for me to replace him is also so heartwarming?" gone?"

In an instant, Caesar suddenly raised his hand.

Before everyone could see clearly, a barrier covered with lightning suddenly appeared in front of him, which actually enveloped the entire detective agency!

The sound is like the sound of small children playing firecrackers.

It's dull, so subtle that even under the breath you don't notice it.

A timed bomb hidden in the detective agency shouldn't be like this. It should have blown up the building, but because the thunder light flooded it - the floor of the detective agency was lifted up, bursting out volcanic debris, and it was blown up by this building again. The brilliance of a layer of lightning was completely suppressed, and the commotion was directly cut off from the heart, and the stubborn fire was extinguished after flickering.

The members of the detective agency held their breath. In the face of such power, any sense of existence would be erased.

Caesar withdrew his hand, and Lei Guang disappeared: "The lemon will explode."

"..." After the words fell, his voice of revealing the truth was also full of doubts, even a little unbelievable, "...So, why did the lemon explode?"

This was the first time Osamu Dazai saw Nishizawa showing such an expression.

Kunikida reacted belatedly and took a breath: "What's going on?!!"

"You were deceived when you went to investigate." Nishizawa said. He glanced at Kunikida's memory before he came to a conclusion. "That person is lying to you. He is the Bomber himself."

Hearing this, Kunikida showed an apologetic expression: "I...I never thought that a lemon could be a bomb."

"It's not your fault, Yu didn't expect it." Caesar was confused, and asked again, "Why did the lemon explode?"

He wasn't sure if it was a lemon, because he didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now he was a little tangled up. This performance of confusion and confusion made everyone in the detective agency feel that the distance was being drawn closer, and even felt a little funny.

Osamu Dazai, who witnessed everything, blinked, and then said relaxedly in a novel and slightly smiling voice: "Look at me, Nishizawa, I know the answer to your question."

Hearing this, Caesar looked into his eyes.

"..." After a while, his confusion dissipated, and his expression became a little strange, "So, it's a person with supernatural powers from Hong Kong."

Osamu Dazai spread his hands: "I know that there is not much information about his supernatural ability, but it is confirmed that he himself will not be injured by a lemon-shaped bomb."

"so……"

"So he's hiding somewhere in the detective agency!" Atsushi Shima immediately responded, "But where is he..."

Finally, Luanbu jumped down from the table after seeing enough drama, walked to the side of the lush potted plants with open windows, and said childishly: "Mr. Lemon, come out quickly, I saw you hiding in a few minutes ago." Here we come...! Are you here to find someone?"

Hearing this, the expressions of Atsushi Shima and Kunikida changed.

"Wait--!"

A figure flashed out from behind the potted plant. His attire was rather weird, but it was well above the edge of provoking disgust.

"Where is Caesar's cadre? I'm here to deliver a message."

Kunikida glared at him: "Did you do the bombing?! Don't try to argue!"

"What are you doing, I didn't say no, I'll talk about it later." The lemon geek who came out said, waving his hand nonchalantly, "Mr. Ye told you to go back, he has something to ask you, I just came to be a microphone So... so, Officer Nishizawa, don't you have a phone?"

"..."

"Or is it that you are having a fight? After all, I have heard that Mr. Ye recommended you, and you are very close." Lemon Stranger continued, making a funny laugh, "My guess is right, are you Looking for someone here?"

All eyes were on Dazai Osamu.

If the quarrel is real...?

No wonder Nishizawa suddenly came to the detective agency... It all makes sense.

Dazai Osamu: "..."

"Could it be the culprit of the quarrel? A third party? That's why Mr. Ye is heartbroken, hahahaha!"

"..." Everyone's eyes became more serious.

Osamu Dazai: "...don't look at me, I don't know anything, I'm innocent!"

——Your credit has gone bankrupt! !
