How to raise Dazai gently

Although the two didn't quarrel about who stayed here to deal with the women and who went to investigate the surrounding information, the atmosphere also inexplicably cooled down.

In the end, Osamu Dazai took a step back and said, "It's very late today, let's rest first, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Araki Kongshi didn't speak, just lying on the mattress, covering his head with the quilt.

After a night without dreams, when Araki Kongshi woke up, Dazai Osamu was no longer in the bed, he thought it was bad, got up to chase Dazai Osamu, but was stopped by Zi Ji in the corridor.

"Oh, Mr. Kongshi, are you awake? I've already made breakfast, and I'm just waiting for you to taste it!"

Araki Kongshi didn't have the time to deal with Zi Ji, he just asked, "Where's Dazai? Where did he go?"

"Mr. Dazai? Ah, he went out early in the morning. It happened that the neighbor next door was going to dig wild vegetables in the mountains. He was curious, so he went together." Come on, there is no need for them to rack their brains to find a reason to trick him.

Araki Kongshi was silent for a while, sighed lightly, then he smiled at Ziji, and after the other party showed unconcealable joy, he said: "There is no need for breakfast, I will go to my companion , dig wild vegetables with him."

Although he can taste whether the dishes are delicious or not, he doesn't pay much attention to his tongue. Besides, when Osamu Dazai took the initiative to jump into a dangerous trap without telling himself, it is impossible for Araki Kongyo to stay in safety as he thought. waiting for his return.

Zi Ji became flustered, she tried to stop Araki Kongshi, but Araki Kongshi just glanced at her coldly, the woman who didn't know how long she had lived stood there blankly, slapping Dazai Zhi told who he was with and where he went.

"...Take people to the back mountain. The terrain there is complicated. Only people in this village are familiar with it. It is very suitable for knocking him out."

Araki Kongshi's voice was cold: "What are you going to do after knocking him out?"

Perhaps because she asked a key question, Zi Ji trembled all over, her teeth chattering: "I-I want to dedicate him to the goddess, as a sacrifice when the next ceremony opens..."

"What goddess are you offering to?" Araki Kongyo frowned displeased, he was very dissatisfied with the fact that Osamu Dazai was going to be given to other gods as a sacrifice.

"Yes, it is the goddess Yanchang..."

Zi Ji whimpered and said tremblingly.

Araki Kongshi didn't have this goddess in his memory, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, and went straight to find Osamu Dazai in the direction Zi Ji pointed out.

On the other side, Dazai Osamu followed behind a young man who was said to be the neighbor next door. This young man called himself Kamisan. The mature Araki Kongshi, when he was about to investigate the surroundings, just passed by the one-story house just right.

Osamu Dazai did not miss this opportunity, he greeted Shangshan as if nothing had happened, and then logically joined his team to pick wild vegetables - of course, Shangshan is essentially an old man who has lived for an unknown amount of time, and he was so easily hooked by Osamu Dazai His behavior is also vigilant, but Osamu Dazai complained last night about "women are jealous because women are too close to their homosexuals, and the homosexuals think he is too serious and rude, so they have a cold war with themselves". said.

Dazai Osamu's acting skills are in place, and he is jealous of his lover, but he is worried that his lover will be unhappy with him because of this incident. The little temper and uneasiness are well played. Even Mori Ogai has to believe it here, let alone only in the The domineering shirt in this mountain village?

Therefore, his suspicion and vigilance only appeared for a short while, and he turned his attention to other things under the calm guidance of Osamu Dazai.

"I saw that you seem to be worshiping a shrine on the side of the road? What kind of god is enshrined in the shrine?"

While talking, Osamu Dazai clasped his palms together and made a gesture of worship.

"Can you bless my relationship with success and happiness? If I can, I will also buy some tributes and pay homage! Ah, but if there is no way to bless my relationship, I will take back the tributes!"

Osamu Dazai yelled deliberately, "A god who can't fulfill the wishes of believers is useless at all, Mr. Kaesui, what do you think?"

Facing the enthusiastic but not reverent words of the kite-haired boy in front of him, Shangshan felt angry and almost couldn't help but implement the plan ahead of schedule, so he quickly stunned this frivolous person who didn't respect ghosts and gods, and then Dedicate it to the goddess, let the goddess calm down, and don't vent her anger to their village.

"These are the shrines erected by our villagers. If you want your wish to be fulfilled quickly, you might as well go to the shrine to worship. Maybe the goddess will be able to fulfill your wish when she is happy?"

This is of course a lie, Kaesan just wanted to trick Dazai Osamu into the shrine, and then offer this impolite person as a sacrifice to the goddess.

Shangshan led Dazai Zhi to turn left and right, and soon Dazai Zhi, led by Shangshan, found a small road that they hadn't found yesterday—no wonder they searched along the main road and couldn't find any suspicious places. These houses surrounded the road leading to the back mountain. Unless the locals are familiar with the road, it is absolutely difficult for outsiders who have just arrived here to find their way.

Kaesan deliberately walked to a winding and remote place, and Osamu Dazai followed behind him as if defenseless.

When walking to a small path, because there is only one gravel road that can go up, Kaesan deliberately lags behind a few steps, letting Osamu Dazai go up first, and he is holding the props and preparing to find the opportunity to stun Osamu Dazai.

At the end of the path, there is a towering torii gate, the crimson paint color has fallen off, revealing the mottled wood pattern inside, and behind the torii gate is a shrine with its doors tightly closed .

The shrine looks very majestic. Although it can't be seen how big it is from the front, just by looking at the upturned eaves, one can imagine how lively it will be when the shrine holds festivals.

"Oh? This is the shrine of the goddess? It looks really dilapidated. Are there no priests or priestesses here? Then how can I buy amulets that can bless my love?" And Osamu Dazai was still picking and choosing, as if it was really I ran over with Kaesan to make a wish, and treated this shrine as the same as other shrines that have become attractions and buy amulets.

Naturally, Shangshan didn't notice that something was wrong with Dazai, he followed behind Dazai, and urged Dazai to make a wish in front of the sesame oil tank, saying that the goddess would receive his wish faster, and Dazai naturally followed suit.

He walked to the sesame oil box, took out a 500-yen coin, threw it in, bent down and folded his hands together, and made a wish to the shrine.

While Kamachi took advantage of Dazai's bending over, he pounced on him. He took out a towel soaked in ether from his pocket, and covered Dazai's mouth and nose vigorously until Dazai struggled. Gradually weakened, until still, he took a breath, put his arm through Dazai Osamu's armpit, and dragged the stunned sacrifice to the shrine with difficulty.

"Phew... I finally got one, and now I have a sacrifice for the goddess. I hope Zi Ji and the others can get the other one done. Our mountain village has not had a newborn for a long time, so the festival can be held again... "

After completing a major event, Shangshan was sweating again, his mood inevitably became more cheerful, and he couldn't help talking to himself.

But what Shangshan didn't know was that not long after he left the shrine, Dazai Osamu, who was supposed to be in a coma, opened his eyes, and the hemp rope that Shangshan used to help him, after a few circles in Dazai Osamu's palm , and broke free easily!

"Hiss -- it's really hard to strike." Osamu Dazai moved his wrist, rubbed the red marks on it, and then began to carefully look at the shrine.

The interior of the shrine is not very big, but all the doors and windows are closed. Osamu Dazai tried to push it. Although it looks wooden, it is very strong, and he cannot break free with his own strength. .

Since the road to the outside was blocked, Osamu Dazai chose to explore the inside. The inside is in the shape of a square. When you open a door, you will come to another space surrounded by doors.

Osamu Dazai scratched lightly on the tatami mats on the ground, and found that there was not much dust accumulated on it, which meant that there were people living here.

It seems that the people of this mountain village will stun the lost travelers and send them to the shrine, but why?Could it be that it was really for sacrifice?

Osamu Dazai's brain was thinking quickly. Although it is not impossible to stun them all in the village and then sacrifice them, it seems that this shrine seems to have a great significance here. Ziji and the others are indeed for the newborns of the village. Reception seduces them.

Osamu Dazai is not too worried about Araki Kongyo's strength. After all, as long as he is a human being with eyes, he will not be willing to do anything to Araki Kongyo, but if it is replaced by an inhuman thing, that is not necessarily the case.

Osamu Dazai looked around, trying to find a weapon in his hand, but he couldn't find it in the end. He could only open the door vigilantly, and walked into another room to check.

As soon as he walked into another space, Osamu Dazai noticed that something was wrong. The pattern of this ancient house was basically in the shape of a square, but Osamu Dazai had already opened the door in one direction. If the door was not locked, he would He should have come to the corridor—the door was indeed unlocked, but when Osamu Dazai opened the door, what he saw was exactly the same room as before.

"Is this a supernatural power?" Osamu Dazai narrowed his eyes. He walked in, put his hand on the doorknob, and opened the door while activating the ability—but behind the opened door was still the same room.

Osamu Dazai is locked in this room with no exit, and his [Disqualification in the World] has no effect on it?

It's no wonder that Shangshan threw him into this shrine after being stunned. Even if Osamu Dazai escaped by chance, it is absolutely impossible to escape from this maze-like sealed shrine.

Osamu Dazai was not discouraged, he left a mark on a paper door, and then opened a straight door.

Osamu Dazai counted in his heart, until he finished visiting all four rooms, then he rubbed his hair: "So that's the case... No wonder my supernatural ability doesn't work anymore."

Osamu Dazai is not locked in a maze that can never be separated, but this shrine is moving. When he is about to open the door, this is a signal, and the space behind the door will move, but the room The number is constant, so Osamu Dazai cannot go out no matter which direction he opens the door.

The psychic who caused this situation is hiding. If Osamu Dazai wants to crack this room that cannot be exited, then he needs to find the psychic who is hiding and activate the ability of [Disqualification in the World] on him.

But since the superhuman dared to lock Dazai here, he would naturally hide himself very deeply, or it might not be that this supernatural person is sitting outside this house at this moment, watching Dazai desperately looking for the exit.

And Osamu Dazai couldn't leave here at all, so let alone catch this supernatural person and let him eliminate the spatial supernatural ability. This method was logically unworkable from the beginning.

But if you jump out of this logical circle, the solution is actually very simple - Osamu Dazai looked up at the roof. Generally speaking, it is more than enough to build two floors—even if the shrine is indeed an ancient building, but in some places, an attic will be built for servants to live in or to store some unused items.

Osamu Dazai touched his pocket, and he put all his guns in Araki Kongshi's place. It wasn't that he didn't take them carelessly, but because Dazai thought that Araki Kongyo might have to deal with more people, so he left them with him. his.

All that remained on Osamu Dazai was a multi-function knife, a lighter, a few packets of biscuits, and a small bottle of essential oil used to repel mosquitoes.

"Since there are supernatural powers here, then the master who uses the supernatural powers is also there, right?"

Osamu Dazai tilted his head, and then said loudly: "Can you please come out? If you don't come out, I will destroy your important shrine?"

The people hiding in the dark closed their eyes and rested their minds. The people in the dark didn't take Dazai's words to heart. After all, the years they had experienced were beyond what Dazai could imagine. It was so long that the people in the dark felt that their bodies might Already integrated with this land, it is about to turn into a thicket of trees on this land.

The people in the dark have encountered many travelers, some of them possess supernatural powers and are very vigilant, but all of them were defeated in this labyrinth room. After being plagued by hunger and thirst for a long time, they either chose to commit suicide or died in Inside, he was dying of hunger and lost all ability to resist.

The people in the dark didn't care about Dazai's clamor. There were people who scolded harder than Dazai, and some were more cunning than Dazai, but they all gave up in the end, and Dazai would do the same.

Osamu Dazai hummed softly, and he opened the multi-purpose knife in his pocket. Although this knife was only used for peeling walnuts for Araki Kongyo on the road at first, it has played an unimaginable role now.

Osamu Dazai used it to dismantle the wooden board above his head, then gathered the parts that could be pulled off together, carefully poured the pungent essential oil on it, and then cut off his clothes with a multi-function knife. A small piece of cloth wrapped around his face, and finally he lit the lighter and kept the lighter lit.

Then Osamu Dazai took a deep breath, and threw the lit lighter on the wooden block he had piled up—the flame sprang up suddenly, licked and licked by the alcohol-containing essential oil. All the things that can burn, the paper doors, the tatami mats, the boards on the roof that have not been removed and the thatch on the top layer, are gradually swallowed by these flames.

This shrine is very large, and the people in the dark didn't realize that Osamu Dazai had set the shrine on fire at first—after all, he hadn't solved the maze yet, and if he ignited it, he would be buried in the flames along with himself.

But the people in the dark did not expect that Osamu Dazai was really so crazy, so unafraid of death, so reckless, in order to be able to unlock the maze room, he dared to block it with his own life!

Sparks jump, the heat rises, those dark smokes come out continuously, the air is scorched so choking, just inhaling it is almost suffocating, the poisonous smoke curls up and gathers into the sky in the daytime torch.

It was impossible for the people in the dark to watch the shrine burn down, so they quickly removed the supernatural powers imposed on the shrine, ran to the side of the shrine in a hurry, scooped up water and rushed into it, trying to extinguish the fire.

The man in the dark opened the hot door, but fortunately the door was made of hard-to-ignite wood, at least the frame of the door could be maintained.

The fire has already started to reach the roof, and the thatch on the roof is easier to ignite than the hard-to-burn wood specially found below - and Osamu Dazai even specially chose a long piece of ignited wood in order to speed up the burning speed. Then threw it on the roof.

"Is this person crazy?!" The people in the dark have been so smoked that they can't see the way forward. The idiot has already fainted from the poisonous smoke—anyway, when the person in the dark opened the door, he deliberately chose the door where no one was there. Osamu Dazai wanted to use this method to seize the opportunity and escape, yes Whimsical!

The man in the dark weighed it in his heart, and finally decided that he could not seriously argue with the lunatic, and hurried to the courtyard behind the shrine, where a very heavy copper bell was hung. When the copper bell was rung, the sound Enough for the residents of the entire mountain village to hear.

Only when a major situation occurs, or when a ceremony is held to sacrifice to the goddess Yanchang, the people in the dark will ring the bronze bell, and now that the shrine is about to be burned, all the residents of the mountain village are needed to help important situation!

The people in the dark beat the copper bell with all their strength, until the leisurely and heavy sound resounded over the mountain village, and then they breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It's too early to breathe a sigh of relief, Miss Miko."

However, just as the person in the dark put his raised heart back into his stomach, Osamu Dazai's somewhat hoarse voice sounded from behind her.

The witch's brain suddenly passed through the chill that made her uncomfortable. These chills were like sharp spikes piercing her back, and even made the maiden who had just experienced a fire and her heart beat violently almost breathless. come over.

"It's impossible!" The shrill voice of the witch broke out, "You should be burned in there!"

Osamu Dazai spread his hands: "But as you can see, I am standing here properly."

The witch's gaffe only lasted for a while, and she quickly regained her composure. A pair of black eyes looked at Osamu Dazai deeply: "I'm curious, how did you leave the shrine? I made sure you were not by the door when I entered. .”

The witch was delaying time, she was waiting for her companions who heard the sound of the bronze bell to rush over from the village.

And Osamu Dazai... He was also delaying time, so the young boy with kite hair laughed, shrugged and said: "Your supernatural power is really difficult to deal with, if it wasn't for me who was locked in, maybe other people Already desperate."

"Especially when they find out that this is not an endless room, but a labyrinth with endless loops, they will fall into deeper despair, especially when they clearly hope that they are close at hand, but they will never be within reach—Miss Miko, I have to say you The taste is really quite bad. And the people locked inside, for the sake of their own lives, would never choose this way of self-destruction."

"You also know that this is a way of self-destruction." The witch sneered and said, "I can't tell from your face, your acting skills are really good, it seems that the companion who came with you was also killed. You lied—he is so pitiful, does he know that his lover is actually a mental patient with a self-destructive heart?"

Osamu Dazai said righteously: "Ms. Miko, I reserve the right to appeal at any time in spite of your slander. I am not a mental patient."

"Besides, you are more like psychopathic murderers than me, aren't you?"

"Really, but even if you don't know what method you used to escape from there, do you think you can escape from this mountain village? Let me tell you, you will never leave here!"

The witch smiled fiercely, her face had scorching marks from the fire, but this did not detract from her pure and beautiful appearance. It can even be said that the women in the village who borrowed the Tale of Genji are no more Can't compare to the beauty and temperament of the witch.

This is a very dangerous and alluring charm, enough to make men fall at her feet like moths to a flame.

But Osamu Dazai didn't show the slightest change in her appearance or temperament, and even stared at the miko's hands and feet very vigilantly, in case the other party suddenly became violent.

"Want to know how I escaped? It's very simple, let's play a fair game. I ask you a question, you give me an answer, and I do the same in turn. Both parties must ensure that the answer is true— —How about it, do you want to play or not?"

"Why should I play with you?" The witch brushed off the ashes stained on the red and white witch clothes, her eyes were indifferent, and she looked at Osamu Dazai as if she was looking at a dead person: "You are already birds in a cage, in an urn. Grasshopper, there is no need to waste time."

"Really, even if I can free you from here?"

Osamu Dazai was unhurried, he smiled with confidence, as if everything was under control.

The witch's voice became sharp again: "What the hell do you know?! How did you know?!"
