How to raise Dazai gently
Chapter 63 New Leader
Araki Kongyo looked at Dazai Osamu's face, lowered his eyes to avoid his gaze, and said softly, "No problem."
"Okay!" Osamu Dazai clapped his hands, "You can get money from Mr. Mori again! When the time comes, you will get the money, and you and I will share it equally!"
Zhongyuan Zhong also endured it, but did not hold back: "Wait a minute, is the port mafia so short of money?"
Dazai Osamu pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, slug, didn't you join our port mafia? Why are you so concerned about our organization's financial situation?"
"As for why..."
Osamu Dazai laughed happily, "Because seeing the expression on Mr. Mori's heartbroken but having to pay me for it is really very pleasing."
Chuya Nakahara felt chills down his spine, he felt that talking to Osamu Dazai was completely spiritual pollution, so he quickly turned his gaze to Kongshi Araki, looking at his fellow clan to heal San's soul.
Osamu Dazai stopped laughing immediately, he really hated people with Chuya Nakahara's personality type, and the subtle good looks he showed towards Karaki Araki now made Osamu Dazai unhappy.
Araki Kongshi didn't notice the turbulent relationship between Chuya Nakahara and Osamu Dazai. He walked quickly to the pile of documents that had been sorted out, scanned the text at a glance, and read all the physical reports in a short time. .
Perhaps because of habit, Aoki Sota doesn't like to use electronic data to record his experimental reports, not to mention the fact that there are many hacker intrusion incidents nowadays, which has also led to Aoki Sota's distrust of electronic equipment, but his habit is For the convenience of Araki Kongshi, after selecting the relevant materials of Chang Ruoshui, Araki Kongshi signaled the mercenaries to burn all these documents.
Aoki Sota watched his hard work turned into ashes, weeping and crying, miserable, but no one showed sympathy for him, especially Nakahara Chuya and Dazai Osamu who saw the innocent test drugs written in the experiment report After the miserable end of the veterans, he didn't even give the old man an extra look.
These two teenagers are people who have stepped into the underground world, but they are not people who kill indiscriminately except when necessary, and Aoki Sota looks polite and knowledgeable, but the things he does are better than those of the mafia. This violent organization is even more cruel and inhumane.
"That's all right, I'm going back to the mansion, are you together?"
When the mercenaries were sorting out the materials in Araki Kongshi, they had already ordered a helicopter to pick him up. Araki Kongyo accepted the offerings of the believers with a smile, and then turned around to ask Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuya.
"I won't, I have a place where I can go back." Zhong Yuanzhong also hesitated for a while, and finally refused.
Dazai Osamu ran over happily: "I can, I have no problem! Go back together, Kongshi! On the way back, we can enjoy the night view together!"
Zhongyuan Zhong also prepared to use gravity to return to the flock's stronghold, and his footsteps almost staggered. He rubbed his arm with goosebumps, and almost came up with the idea of going together and protecting Araki Kongshi's safety.
But fortunately, Zhong Yuanzhong also remembered that his companions were still being detained by the port mafia. Because he was worried that the port mafia would break the contract, he finally stamped his feet and left here first.
Osamu Dazai sat down on the helicopter next to Araki Kongyo intimately, and the person in charge of the pilot was a member of the mercenary organization. Generally speaking, members who have the skills to pilot a helicopter are quite precious.
"Are they going back to the Port Mafia together?"
Osamu Dazai glanced at the driver at the front and asked.
"Yeah, if they are all mercenaries anyway, it's not impossible to let the port mafia hire them. Besides, Mr. Sen said that he is short of money and manpower recently. He should be very happy to bring these people back."
Araki Kongshi nodded.
Osamu Dazai curled his lips in his heart. Of course Ogai Mori would be very happy. These mercenaries were originally members of the hostile organization GSS, and now most of them were brought to the port mafia by Araki Kongyo. The group of people will no longer be successful, not only have people and weapons, but also solve an organization without any effort.
"Welcome back, Kushi, Dazai." Mori Ogai was already waiting for them on the tarmac on the roof. He looked very mature and stable, and his sincerity in personally coming to greet the two subordinates was quite deep.
Osamu Dazai didn't eat this sugar-coated cannonball at all. He got off the helicopter, carefully helped Araki Kongyo down, and then pretended to be logical and pulled him towards Mori Ogai, kindly reminding: "Remember to pay the balance Mr. Yasen."
Mori Ogai was very straightforward this time: "No problem, I have asked the finance department to transfer the money to your card."
Osamu Dazai is satisfied this time. Although Ogai Mori occasionally does not do human affairs or speak human words, he is straightforward in giving money, and will fulfill the promised promises.
Osamu Dazai pulled and did not break free from his own Araki Kongshi, his heart was beating fast, although his voice was still steady, the tips of his ears hidden under the slightly long curly kite hair were already quietly burning.
"Kongshi, are you free this weekend? How about we go on a picnic together?"
"This weekend?" Araki Kongyo pondered for a while, and then said, "I already have a plan to go this weekend."
Osamu Dazai's heart sank, but his voice was still clear: "Oh? Can you tell me where I'm going?"
Although he talks about stand-in literature, in fact, although Araki Kongshi occasionally avoids Dazai Osamu's face, he is very gentle to him, almost to the point of being responsive, which makes Dazai Osamu's heart soften and he likes Araki even more At the same time as Kongshi, he became more and more afraid of "White Moonlight" who kept silent about Araki Kongshi.
Araki Kongshi is also so gentle to himself, a person who has similarities with 'White Moonlight', does it prove that he has deep roots in love for 'White Moonlight'?This is simply bad news for Osamu Dazai.
But no matter what, Araki Kongyo's attitude still gave Dazai some hope and signal. It was the first time that he was so passionate and bold, as if he was afraid that he would regret it, he put all his chips on it. All games are lost.
Generally speaking, Araki Koyo either stayed in the port mafia mansion, watched the training of Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Akutagawa Gin, or went to the bookstore in the commercial street to search for books. The date invitations proposed by Osamu Dazai were basically Can receive a response, but this time is different, did something happen?
Or... there is news about the unknown 'Bai Yueguang'?
Then Osamu Dazai couldn't give up, he squinted his eyes and smiled, gently rubbing his cheek against the back of Araki Kongshi's hand, feeling the delicacy and smoothness from his cheek, and made a coquettish voice like a cat: "I I want to spend a wonderful weekend with Kongshi, can you take me with you?"
Araki Kongshi hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "That place is very remote, and there is nothing interesting about it."
Osamu Dazai smelled suspicious, his face remained unchanged, and he insisted: "It's okay! As long as I can be with you, even the wasteland is as beautiful as a fairyland to me!"
Araki Kongyo couldn't resist Dazai Osamu's stalking, rather he had no resistance to Dazai Osamu, and finally agreed to Dazai Osamu's request to go with him.
"The place we are going to is a small town. The scientist in that laboratory mentioned this place in a hidden corner of the experiment report. I suspect that the raw materials he made those medicines should be obtained there." Araki Kongyo said softly , "I need that raw material."
As for why he needed it, Araki Kongyo didn't say, and Dazai Osamu didn't ask, it is necessary to keep a certain distance in the process of pursuing people - although Dazai Osamu was eager to know everything about Araki Kongyo, he still suppressed this idea Impulsive instinct, he changed the subject with a smile, asking what should be prepared.
Araki Kongshi pondered for a while, and replied: "I think it's better to bring more bullets."
"Oh?"
Osamu Dazai blinked, and immediately realized what Araki Kongyo meant.
"Don't you need to bring in more people? Mr. Mori should agree." Osamu Dazai asked.
"My ability should be able to solve it without injury. If I can't solve it, no matter how many people I bring there, I will just die in vain. I don't want to see Mr. Sen pretending to cry in front of me again. It really hurts the eyes."
The words Araki Kongyo said plainly, it is destined that the weekend they are about to spend will not be easy or simple.
Leaving aside whether Mori Ogai faked crying, early on Saturday morning, Araki Kongyo and Dazai Osamu set out to find the small town secretly mentioned in Aoki Sota's experimental report.
If you go from Yokohama, you need to drive for four hours, and the location is remote, located in the mountains.
The driver who sent them here was specially assigned to Araki Kongshi by the port mafia, and his ability and loyalty were obvious to all.
Osamu Dazai was chatting with Araki Kongshi full of energy, the topics were unconstrained and weird, if it were someone else, such as Mori Ogai or Nakahara Chu, who were also here, I am afraid that his words would either be ignored and a few perfunctory words, Or simply knock Dazai Osamu unconscious directly, and get rid of the topic that is constantly dripping with black mud.
But Araki Kongyo listened very carefully, and even put forward his own opinions when Osamu Dazai talked about where suicide is the most refreshing, how to commit suicide is the least troublesome, and painless.
Osamu Dazai held his heart and made a moving gesture: "Kushi, you are so gentle——"
The second half of the sentence is 'then are you willing to die for love with me? ', Osamu Dazai swallowed it back down his throat.
It's not yet time, Osamu Dazai told himself.
Although he has identified Araki Kongyo, even when he dies, he must be with him, but Dazai knows that many people don't like people full of negative emotions, because it will only bring misfortune, even if Dazai said I think death is a wonderful gift from the bottom of my heart, but it doesn't prevent other people in this world from thinking that life is the best thing.
He wanted to be equally liked by Araki Kongyo, so Osamu Dazai pretended to be himself.
Araki Kongyo seemed to have noticed something, he looked at Osamu Dazai who was sitting beside him, and said softly: "You don't need to wrong yourself, Dazai, just be yourself."
Even though he sometimes doesn't know how to face his former cub and what attitude he should use to get along with Osamu Dazai who is not his cub, but Araki Kongyo still doesn't want Osamu Dazai to wrong him.
Dazai Osamu was stunned, and then showed a faint smile: "I don't feel wronged, on the contrary, I feel very happy."
He could not have been more pleased than that the emotion he projected did not fall into an empty abyss, but had an echo.
The car was driving smoothly and quickly, and they arrived in this small town away from the main road earlier than scheduled.
Araki Kongshi did not ask the driver to follow them, but asked him to stay in a nearby town and wait for his notice before coming to pick them up.
The driver didn't have much objection, and soon drove the vehicle and disappeared at the end of the road.
The two walked along the cement road. After walking for about 15 minutes, they saw the gate of the target town—although it was called a town, it was actually only the size of a village.
The scenery here is beautiful, the trees are shady, the tall trees block the slightly dazzling sun in the afternoon, the noise of insects around makes people drowsy, and there are not many pedestrians on the street, and it is still open I can't see the owner of the few shops, I'm afraid they all went to take a nap.
Araki Kongshi frowned, he stopped and looked around, and said in a low voice, "There's something wrong here."
Osamu Dazai also put away the smile on his face, and glanced around: "Ah, something is indeed wrong."
The chirping birds and insects that were singing happily just before they entered here have disappeared unconsciously, and the surroundings are terribly quiet, even though there are still traces of human society here, but the empty scenes and excessively quiet sounds, It made the familiar things become more and more weird, and it seemed that there was some indescribable horror hidden behind these things.
If Osamu Dazai observed something wrong here with his own eyes and ears, then Araki Koyo felt it with his soul.
The space here was distorted. From the moment they stepped into the gate of this village, the existing space deviated from the original time and space.
Although Araki Kongshi was vaguely aware that his trip was not peaceful, it was something he had never thought of directly entering this different space.
If the driver who left at this moment turned back to look for them, even if they were standing on the main road of this street, the driver would not be able to find them no matter how he wandered around, and his figure would even appear to overlap them directly. Condition.
This kind of large-scale different space formed is very difficult to find the exit. This is the case of the different space [Shen Yin] distorted by the super-level magic spirit that Araki Kongshi once stayed with Mikhail. Finding the one you need from the thread ends, although it is not impossible to untie it, but it must take a lot of thought.
Araki Kongshi just thought about it for a while, and then stepped forward. Even if he found that he had entered a different space, it was useless to stay where he was, so he might as well explore around to see if there were any clues.
Just after they walked through a slightly modern street, behind the houses piled up with reinforced concrete, many wooden bungalows suddenly appeared, which seemed to have been handed down from the era of more than 100 years ago.
However, unlike the deserted concrete buildings in front, signs of human activities can be seen in the bungalows.
Osamu Dazai had already raised his vigilance. When he saw someone moving, he looked at Araki Kongyo's side face and asked with his eyes what to do next.
Araki Sora took a few steps forward and walked into the courtyard connected to the nearest one-story house, "Excuse me, is anyone there?"
"Who is it?" A woman's surprised voice came from the bungalow, and soon there was the sound of the other party putting on clogs, the wooden barrier was pushed open, and a young woman came out from behind the door.
Osamu Dazai took a few steps forward and said to the woman, "We are tourists who accidentally got lost. Is there a restaurant here?"
The young woman blinked, then smiled and said, "Oh, it's easy to get lost around here, and it's hard for you to find this place - but because our village has few people and is far away from the main road, there is no special feature, so basically There are no tourists coming, and naturally there are no restaurants open to the public. If you don’t mind, I can cook for you.”
"Then trouble you."
Dazai Osamu thanked with a smile, and he and Araki Kongyo were welcomed into the one-story house by this young woman, whether it was the thatched roof or the empty soil room, there were traces of the times.
The two sat cross-legged on the tatami, Osamu Dazai still kept a smile on his face, but his lips moved slightly, and he said something creepy: "It's strange that this young lady is older than she looks. "
Without blinking his eyes, Araki Kongshi replied calmly: "Everything here is very strange."
For example, why don't they live in a more convenient reinforced concrete house, but choose to live in an inconvenient old bungalow?
And so far, except for the woman they took the initiative to talk to, they have not seen other people, and they have not even heard human voices, as if they have entered a ghost town by mistake.
"Is it a ghost?" Although Osamu Dazai knows that there are many people with supernatural powers in this world, he has never seen a ghost. In other words, if ghosts really exist, Osamu Dazai will feel very sad. This does not mean that people will die Can't get rid of it completely?
Araki Kongshi shook his head and said softly, "It's worse than ghosts."
Osamu Dazai remained silent. Although his [Disqualification in the World] can eliminate all supernatural abilities in the world, I don't know if it can eliminate existences worse than ghosts.
"It seems that the extra bullets you want me to carry are white belts." Osamu Dazai sighed.
Araki Karashi said: "Not necessarily, although she is worse than the ghost, but it does not mean that the bullet will have no effect."
Their conversation stopped when they saw a woman coming out of the kitchen. The woman brought them a few simple stir-fried dishes. Although they were all home-cooked dishes, they were really tempting in front of hungry people.
Araki Kongyo raised his chopsticks first, picked up a piece of pumpkin and put it in his mouth, then he nodded to Dazai Osamu, and Dazai Osamu also raised his chopsticks, and started to eat.
The woman didn't notice the vigilance of the two, she just looked at them with loving eyes, and said kindly: "I think you must be very tired, I have prepared quilts for you in the guest room, and you will finish eating later." Just take a good rest!"
"Is there any better place to go shopping around here?" Osamu Dazai asked curiously, "After all, if you sleep right after eating, you will accumulate food. We want to walk around here."
"Ah, do you want to go around..." The woman's eyes rolled around, "There is really nothing to see around here, if you want to take a walk, just take a walk around here-but don't get lost, although It looks small from the outside, but it’s actually huge on the inside.”
They naturally agreed, but after leaving the bungalow, Araki Kongyo and Dazai Osamu both began to investigate the village tacitly.
As the woman said, although it looks very small, it is just a village, but it is indeed within the scope of the conscription, and the entire town is built on the mountainside, as if a gap was dug out of the mountainside Standing here, it is no wonder that there are no tourists coming. It is very difficult to find the dirt road hidden in the dense bushes.
As if their arrival gradually awakened the sleeping town, many people gradually appeared on the originally empty road, but both Dazai Osamu and Araki Koyo noticed that there were almost no middle-aged or elderly people in this town , all young and beautiful young people, regardless of gender.
But this is almost impossible. In such a remote mountain village, most capable young people would yearn for a big city with better conditions. How could they still stay in the village?Taking a step back, even if these young people came back to build their own villages, it is extremely strange that none of the people here are middle-aged or old.
Osamu Dazai was also someone who had been in contact with Sota Aoki, and he realized the problem after a little thought: "They ate the raw materials of the elixir of life, so they can stay young forever?"
This logic is not difficult to understand, how Aoki Sota knew the existence of this raw material, and how he got it, naturally there must be a source.
Osamu Dazai did not reveal the purpose of their trip, and he knew that if the two foreigners suddenly showed curiosity about their precious things, what they would receive would not be a slightly curious welcome, but a sharp hoe and kitchen knife up.
Araki Kongyo didn't confirm Dazai Osamu's conjecture, nor did he deny it. He walked around this winding town and village, and found nothing suspicious.
And Osamu Dazai quickly noticed the loopholes in this: "If it is really possible to keep people young forever, it is impossible that no one among them will try to exchange money for such a priceless thing..."
Greed always exists in people's hearts. Even if the village head strictly prohibits the distribution of medicinal materials, there will always be people who will take risks for money.
"No suspicious plants were seen in their courtyard. It seems that they can only find out the location of their shrine or ancestral hall and go there to have a look."
Araki Kongyo looked around, he didn't feel too oppressed by this different space, and it shouldn't be a problem for Osamu Dazai to stay here.
However, at present, it is still necessary to find out where the raw materials that have changed into water have been planted as soon as possible. According to Araki Kongshi's estimation, there may not be too many left.
"Okay!" Osamu Dazai clapped his hands, "You can get money from Mr. Mori again! When the time comes, you will get the money, and you and I will share it equally!"
Zhongyuan Zhong also endured it, but did not hold back: "Wait a minute, is the port mafia so short of money?"
Dazai Osamu pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, slug, didn't you join our port mafia? Why are you so concerned about our organization's financial situation?"
"As for why..."
Osamu Dazai laughed happily, "Because seeing the expression on Mr. Mori's heartbroken but having to pay me for it is really very pleasing."
Chuya Nakahara felt chills down his spine, he felt that talking to Osamu Dazai was completely spiritual pollution, so he quickly turned his gaze to Kongshi Araki, looking at his fellow clan to heal San's soul.
Osamu Dazai stopped laughing immediately, he really hated people with Chuya Nakahara's personality type, and the subtle good looks he showed towards Karaki Araki now made Osamu Dazai unhappy.
Araki Kongshi didn't notice the turbulent relationship between Chuya Nakahara and Osamu Dazai. He walked quickly to the pile of documents that had been sorted out, scanned the text at a glance, and read all the physical reports in a short time. .
Perhaps because of habit, Aoki Sota doesn't like to use electronic data to record his experimental reports, not to mention the fact that there are many hacker intrusion incidents nowadays, which has also led to Aoki Sota's distrust of electronic equipment, but his habit is For the convenience of Araki Kongshi, after selecting the relevant materials of Chang Ruoshui, Araki Kongshi signaled the mercenaries to burn all these documents.
Aoki Sota watched his hard work turned into ashes, weeping and crying, miserable, but no one showed sympathy for him, especially Nakahara Chuya and Dazai Osamu who saw the innocent test drugs written in the experiment report After the miserable end of the veterans, he didn't even give the old man an extra look.

This violent organization is even more cruel and inhumane.
"That's all right, I'm going back to the mansion, are you together?"
When the mercenaries were sorting out the materials in Araki Kongshi, they had already ordered a helicopter to pick him up. Araki Kongyo accepted the offerings of the believers with a smile, and then turned around to ask Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuya.
"I won't, I have a place where I can go back." Zhong Yuanzhong also hesitated for a while, and finally refused.

But fortunately, Zhong Yuanzhong also remembered that his companions were still being detained by the port mafia. Because he was worried that the port mafia would break the contract, he finally stamped his feet and left here first.
Osamu Dazai sat down on the helicopter next to Araki Kongyo intimately, and the person in charge of the pilot was a member of the mercenary organization. Generally speaking, members who have the skills to pilot a helicopter are quite precious.
"Are they going back to the Port Mafia together?"
Osamu Dazai glanced at the driver at the front and asked.
"Yeah, if they are all mercenaries anyway, it's not impossible to let the port mafia hire them. Besides, Mr. Sen said that he is short of money and manpower recently. He should be very happy to bring these people back."
Araki Kongshi nodded.
Osamu Dazai curled his lips in his heart. Of course Ogai Mori would be very happy. These mercenaries were originally members of the hostile organization GSS, and now most of them were brought to the port mafia by Araki Kongyo. The group of people will no longer be successful, not only have people and weapons, but also solve an organization without any effort.
"Welcome back, Kushi, Dazai." Mori Ogai was already waiting for them on the tarmac on the roof. He looked very mature and stable, and his sincerity in personally coming to greet the two subordinates was quite deep.
Osamu Dazai didn't eat this sugar-coated cannonball at all. He got off the helicopter, carefully helped Araki Kongyo down, and then pretended to be logical and pulled him towards Mori Ogai, kindly reminding: "Remember to pay the balance Mr. Yasen."
Mori Ogai was very straightforward this time: "No problem, I have asked the finance department to transfer the money to your card."

Finding the one you need from the thread ends, although it is not impossible to untie it, but it must take a lot of thought.
Araki Kongshi just thought about it for a while, and then stepped forward. Even if he found that he had entered a different space, it was useless to stay where he was, so he might as well explore around to see if there were any clues.
Just after they walked through a slightly modern street, behind the houses piled up with reinforced concrete, many wooden bungalows suddenly appeared, which seemed to have been handed down from the era of more than 100 years ago.
However, unlike the deserted concrete buildings in front, signs of human activities can be seen in the bungalows.
Osamu Dazai had already raised his vigilance. When he saw someone moving, he looked at Araki Kongyo's side face and asked with his eyes what to do next.
Araki Sora took a few steps forward and walked into the courtyard connected to the nearest one-story house, "Excuse me, is anyone there?"
"Who is it?" A woman's surprised voice came from the bungalow, and soon there was the sound of the other party putting on clogs, the wooden barrier was pushed open, and a young woman came out from behind the door.
Osamu Dazai took a few steps forward and said to the woman, "We are tourists who accidentally got lost. Is there a restaurant here?"
The young woman blinked, then smiled and said, "Oh, it's easy to get lost around here, and it's hard for you to find this place - but because our village has few people and is far away from the main road, there is no special feature, so basically There are no tourists coming, and naturally there are no restaurants open to the public. If you don’t mind, I can cook for you.”
"Then trouble you."
Dazai Osamu thanked with a smile, and he and Araki Kongyo were welcomed into the one-story house by this young woman, whether it was the thatched roof or the empty soil room, there were traces of the times.
The two sat cross-legged on the tatami, Osamu Dazai still kept a smile on his face, but his lips moved slightly, and he said something creepy: "It's strange that this young lady is older than she looks. "
Without blinking his eyes, Araki Kongshi replied calmly: "Everything here is very strange."
For example, why don't they live in a more convenient reinforced concrete house, but choose to live in an inconvenient old bungalow?
And so far, except for the woman they took the initiative to talk to, they have not seen other people, and they have not even heard human voices, as if they have entered a ghost town by mistake.
"Is it a ghost?" Although Osamu Dazai knows that there are many people with supernatural powers in this world, he has never seen a ghost. In other words, if ghosts really exist, Osamu Dazai will feel very sad. This does not mean that people will die Can't get rid of it completely?
Araki Kongshi shook his head and said softly, "It's worse than ghosts."
Osamu Dazai remained silent. Although his [Disqualification in the World] can eliminate all supernatural abilities in the world, I don't know if it can eliminate existences worse than ghosts.
"It seems that the extra bullets you want me to carry are white belts." Osamu Dazai sighed.
Araki Karashi said: "Not necessarily, although she is worse than the ghost, but it does not mean that the bullet will have no effect."
Their conversation stopped when they saw a woman coming out of the kitchen. The woman brought them a few simple stir-fried dishes. Although they were all home-cooked dishes, they were really tempting in front of hungry people.
Araki Kongyo raised his chopsticks first, picked up a piece of pumpkin and put it in his mouth, then he nodded to Dazai Osamu, and Dazai Osamu also raised his chopsticks, and started to eat.
The woman didn't notice the vigilance of the two, she just looked at them with loving eyes, and said kindly: "I think you must be very tired, I have prepared quilts for you in the guest room, and you will finish eating later." Just take a good rest!"
"Is there any better place to go shopping around here?" Osamu Dazai asked curiously, "After all, if you sleep right after eating, you will accumulate food. We want to walk around here."
"Ah, do you want to go around..." The woman's eyes rolled around, "There is really nothing to see around here, if you want to take a walk, just take a walk around here-but don't get lost, although It looks small from the outside, but it’s actually huge on the inside.”
They naturally agreed, but after leaving the bungalow, Araki Kongyo and Dazai Osamu both began to investigate the village tacitly.
As the woman said, although it looks very small, it is just a village, but it is indeed within the scope of the conscription, and the entire town is built on the mountainside, as if a gap was dug out of the mountainside Standing here, it is no wonder that there are no tourists coming. It is very difficult to find the dirt road hidden in the dense bushes.
As if their arrival gradually awakened the sleeping town, many people gradually appeared on the originally empty road, but both Dazai Osamu and Araki Koyo noticed that there were almost no middle-aged or elderly people in this town , all young and beautiful young people, regardless of gender.
But this is almost impossible. In such a remote mountain village, most capable young people would yearn for a big city with better conditions. How could they still stay in the village?Taking a step back, even if these young people came back to build their own villages, it is extremely strange that none of the people here are middle-aged or old.
Osamu Dazai was also someone who had been in contact with Sota Aoki, and he realized the problem after a little thought: "They ate the raw materials of the elixir of life, so they can stay young forever?"
This logic is not difficult to understand, how Aoki Sota knew the existence of this raw material, and how he got it, naturally there must be a source.
Osamu Dazai did not reveal the purpose of their trip, and he knew that if the two foreigners suddenly showed curiosity about their precious things, what they would receive would not be a slightly curious welcome, but a sharp hoe and kitchen knife up.
Araki Kongyo didn't confirm Dazai Osamu's conjecture, nor did he deny it. He walked around this winding town and village, and found nothing suspicious.
And Osamu Dazai quickly noticed the loopholes in this: "If it is really possible to keep people young forever, it is impossible that no one among them will try to exchange money for such a priceless thing..."
Greed always exists in people's hearts. Even if the village head strictly prohibits the distribution of medicinal materials, there will always be people who will take risks for money.
"No suspicious plants were seen in their courtyard. It seems that they can only find out the location of their shrine or ancestral hall and go there to have a look."
Araki Kongyo looked around, he didn't feel too oppressed by this different space, and it shouldn't be a problem for Osamu Dazai to stay here.
However, at present, it is still necessary to find out where the raw materials that have changed into water have been planted as soon as possible. According to Araki Kongshi's estimation, there may not be too many left.
