For the two directors, the existence of Sigma has a very special meaning.

After successfully usurping the origin of the lower world, they, as incarnations of "books", inevitably carried the life created by the two of them.No matter how much they deny it, they cannot take off the title of so-called parents.

But it wasn't enough for them to accept Sigma hastily and tell the truth.

Only Ango Sakaguchi and Sakunosuke Oda have the honor of knowing all the truth.The reason is also very simple, because they are friends recognized by Osamu Dazai in the original book, and Shuji Tsushima also regards them as irreplaceable friends.

This is beyond the reach of Sigma, who had no contact with Osamu Dazai in the original work.

In the script, as early as Pandora's Actor and Mikhail went to the Middle East to find Sigma, a harmless deception began.

If the scripts in the hands of the directors are in the shape of an onion, then what they reveal to the "son" is the core of the onion.

What Sigma can see is the story hidden under countless heart-wrenching and heart-wrenching scripts, and the reality in the script after throwing away countless layers of skin.

Heavy snow fell outside the house, and gusts of cold wind poured into the wooden house along the gaps in the window sills.Except for the slightly slowed down sound of the wind, only the "cracking" sound of fully burning firewood resounded in the house, making the atmosphere even more anxious.

The young man in dark yellow military uniform took off his pitch black military cap, completely revealing his too young face.He is obviously in his early 20s, but those soft eyes are even more vicissitudes than the weather-beaten old man.

It seems that he has already seen through all kinds of situations in the world, and because of a certain obsession in his heart, he has experienced all kinds of suffering, and he has not been able to let go until his old age.

"He has been gone for a long time, no matter how I try to keep him, I can't keep his consciousness."

Pandora's Actor slowly raised her arms, loosening the braid on her bangs to distinguish her from her past self.It seems that as long as you do this, you can change back to your former self.

He stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar reflection on the window, and laughed at himself: "And now, even I don't want to continue."

Sigma, who had just left the terrorist's lair and lacked normal social interaction, didn't know how to react for a while.

He thought he had found two family members, but in fact there was only one.The man in the black robe who didn't know whether to be called Fyodor or Mikhail was actually Pandora's Actor in disguise.

And Sigma, based on this brief conversation, understood.The only remaining family member of his is also bent on death, full of burnout for this world.

"Then why did you find me..." the young man said awkwardly, he was powerless in the face of the cruel reality, and he couldn't even question him.

Why did he ruthlessly deprive him of all this after letting him see hope?

That being the case, it would be better not to let the light shine on him from the beginning.

Even though she was not good at raising children, Pandora could still sense the change in Sigma's mood at this moment.He straightened his bangs that were too curly due to braiding, and let his hair return to the previous hairstyle, explaining with a slightly sad expression.

"I don't really want to say such irresponsible words because you are my child." The young man in military uniform leaned against the window frame, staring closely at Sigma at the dining table, telling some too cruel truths .

"There is someone else who really made you appear in this world. I just received this part of the request and used my own power to conceive you."

If we say, Pandora consciously assumed his responsibility as a parent as early as the beginning of Sigma's birth.Then he would definitely not let his children wander in the desert, and then be captured by criminal organizations, living a life of precarity.

Because he didn't care at all before, it would be too ridiculous to pretend to be a parent now.

"But didn't you say...you and Mr. Fyodor...could have born me together?" The young man with half-colored hair inadvertently clenched his palms, but he couldn't stop his increasingly confused mood.

He could fully understand the hidden meaning in Pandora's Actor's words, and he also understood that he didn't have much weight in the other party's heart, so he didn't intend to delve into this issue that would only cause him trouble.

"At that time, his consciousness still remained, and you are indeed a life that was successfully born with half of our strength." Pandora's expression also revealed a little complicated, as if he had only chosen to accept the existence of Sigma until now .

"That's why I decided to take you away." The man whispered to himself in a soft voice.

He had lost the one he truly loved, not even the remains of that person.The last plank of the ship of Theseus has been replaced, and what was broken in the past has long been lost in the long river of time.

Sigma, in a sense, is indeed the child left behind by his Fyodor, an existence conceived by the two together...

"It's because this world is about to be destroyed..." The young man stared at the gloomy Pandora with those pale gray eyes. Combining the words revealed by the other party before, it was easy to draw a certain conclusion.

"If a god dies easily, the world will also perish. This is what you told me not long ago."

He understood that the reason why Pandora's Actor found him was because he finally remembered that he still had a "child" conceived with the one he loved.

And that child who has never been in his favor is now the only remnant between him and his lover.That's why he seemed to cherish himself, and was taken back by his family who had abandoned him for a long time.

The world is about to be destroyed, and Pandora's Actor doesn't want the only remaining Sigma to leave with the ringing of the doomsday bell.

The young man in military uniform didn't make any answer, and even his expression turned into a palpitating emptiness.The darkness surging in the depths of those iris-colored eyes seems to be able to swallow up the human soul.

He just turned his head slightly, staring at the whiteness without other colors outside the window, stretched out his hand without warning before his eyes felt stinging, and pushed open the closed glass window.

The howling cold wind rushed into the room with goose feathers and heavy snow, instantly dispelling the warmth that was finally raised by the fireplace in the wooden house.Sigma, who was suddenly hit by the cold, turned pale, and wrapped his coat tightly around his body, trying to block the cold wind from his neck from taking away his body temperature.

But all this is in vain.

This is the world constructed in the "book", which cannot be judged by common sense at all.No matter how thick the young man's clothes are, under someone's control, he is still standing naked in the ice and snow, unable to prevent the low temperature from swallowing his name.

Pandora's Actor raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and the smile he showed contained no malice.

He raised his arms and snapped his fingers, and the old wooden house that was originally a shelter from the wind disappeared immediately.The overwhelming snow and ice swept the whole world, making it impossible for the young man who had just left the desert to open his eyes, and even his brows and eyes were soon covered with hoarfrost.

Sigma's lips were so cold that they turned purple, and he couldn't express anything in words.

"Today's weather is really bad, and I don't know how many tourists will freeze to death before returning home. Is there any place you want to go? If this continues, you will die in a short time, Mr. Sigma."

The young man who was the culprit smiled strangely, and there was even gloating in his tone.In this way, stepping on the knee-deep snow, he gradually walked towards Sigma who was about to lose consciousness.

In a trance, the surrounding scene seemed to be distorted by some indescribable force, and even the invasion of the wind and snow stopped for a moment.

In the next second, the icy and snowy land was replaced by birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, and even the temperature returned to a comfortable level.

This is a hanging garden suspended in the sky, and countless flowers that should bloom in different seasons are dotted everywhere.The flowers are fragrant, and several ornamental birds with flapping wings pass through the flowers, adding a bit of vitality to the scene.

The youth in military uniform ignored Sigma, who hadn't recovered yet, and walked to the edge of the greenhouse with crisp steps.The outer glass curtain wall is clear and transparent. When you lower your head, you can see the small city under the clouds.

He murmured thoughtfully, turned around and looked at the young man who was stunned, and said with a light smile, "Look, it's a beautiful scene, isn't it?"

Although the teaching process was a bit extreme, the result was good, allowing Sigma to learn how to manipulate the enchantment in the "book" in the shortest possible time.

Sigma was still staring at his fingertips tightly, and curled up twice in disbelief. Not long ago, there was still a bluish-purple color on the verge of necrosis.

The poor physical condition returned to normal, without any discomfort after returning from the extreme cold.After confirming that he didn't feel any sting of frostbite, he had time to look around at the scene around him. "It's so beautiful..." He murmured and sighed after seeing the whole area of ​​the glass greenhouse.

The environment here is even more elegant than he had imagined just now.

"The authority to control this part of the space is left to you." Seeing that her child has adapted well, Pandora's Actor nodded in satisfaction, and made a gesture to leave, without any intention of explaining too much.

Anyway, his goal has been achieved, let Sigma hide in the "book" and not be affected by the destruction of the world half a year later.

After that is the next step...

However, upon hearing the man's words, Sigma's expression became extremely stiff.Even though he could sense that the other party had no malicious intentions and that the move was to keep him alive, the young man couldn't help but asked, "Am I about to be abandoned again..."

As before, don't give him any more eyes.

Pandora, who originally planned to leave, sighed slightly. He hesitated for a while, and finally just shook his head, denying Sigma's statement, "No, this is just a short separation."

"Will it be destroyed, this world?"

"Just temporarily."

He summoned the silver roulette on his left wrist, pointed the purple gemstone side at Sigma, and manipulated the middle gear to rotate, but did not actually activate the ability.

"My ability can reverse time and bring everything back to how it was before."

Pandora's Actor tapped the purple gem filled with the sand of time with her fingertips, explaining her own flaws seriously, without any secrets, "It's just that wanting to reverse the torrent of time is not without cost, the cause and effect of the whole world The thread will be carried on my body... In this way, as the number of reincarnations increases, the strength of my body will become stronger and stronger, and I will be one step closer to death."

"But as long as the origin of this world is passed on."

He paused slightly, as if organizing the language in his brain, and explained it in a more easy-to-understand way.

"According to common sayings, the 'book' can be compared to a priesthood. As long as there is no vacancy in this position, the world can continue to operate stably. As for who is sitting in this position...it doesn't really matter."

In other words, he only needs a suitable successor before he can completely relinquish his duties.

The god wants to meet death, but the consequence of doing so is that the world will follow him.Unwilling to see this kind of future, he can only try his best to create a new god. As long as the new god can be a perfect substitute, he can continue to maintain the operation of this world.

In this way he can usher in eternal sleep.

Sigma, who inadvertently bit her lip, could no longer hide the shock on her expression.

He was not a calm person, in order to survive during the captivity, no matter how flustered he was, he didn't dare to show it on the surface.I was afraid that the gun against the back of his head would easily take his life like this.

He is just an ordinary person. Isn't it normal to show a side of shock when he hears this kind of news?

"Don't put on such an expression. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to take over this responsibility. It's like a replacement of a god. The only one who can take over this responsibility is another me reborn from the ashes." It seems to be an expression towards Sigma Helpless, the young man in military uniform stepped forward and patted the other person's shoulder reassuringly, "Essentially speaking, that child will be your new family."

"What do you mean?" The young man who couldn't understand the words asked with a trembling voice.

new family?

"Although it is cumbersome to operate, I have created a suitable successor. The child is essentially me, but with a completely different experience."

Pandora's Actor had an overly gentle smile on his face, obviously looking forward to the future he said, "I will pass on the memory to him at the right time, and then I can leave without any worries .”

And Osamu Dazai, who has all the new memories, will continue his duty as a "book".

Sigma suddenly raised his voice, his tone was extremely anxious, "This is different!"

"what's the difference?"

Pandora tilted her head pretending to be blank, and the darkness in the depths of her eyes became deeper and deeper, "He will have all my memories, including everything I told you now, and he will remember it in the future."

"He will embrace my surviving memories, embrace my deepest feelings, but don't need to taste the despair I feel... After experiencing suffering, he will walk down with the person he loves deeply. Even if he welcomes him It will be eternity, and you will never feel alone again."

The man's expression was quite serene, and even his tone of voice was relieved that he was about to let go of a heavy burden.

"This is already the best choice." He muttered to himself.

He himself is facing death, and the substitute he created, Osamu Dazai, can also live with the same substitute Fyodor.Even if it will have eternal life, as long as he can have company, such a future will not be scary.

That Osamu Dazai will not die with endless loneliness like himself.

Realizing that Pandora's Actor had made up his mind, no matter how much he tried to dissuade him, he was too weak, and he didn't even have a position.Sigma could only wear a sad expression, unable to conceal the sadness in his emotions.

"But you will die..." He carefully grabbed the man's cuff, trying to express his retention.

Even the newborn family members are completely different from the original him.

Pandora frowned slightly, he shook his head, slowly but firmly pulled out his sleeve from the other party's hand, and clarified certain facts in a serious tone, "This is the first day we have known each other, Sigma."

"..."

He has made it very clear.

There is no need to regret anything, as a family member, he has never even reached the passing line.In this way, he let his "children" toss in pain, struggling hard to survive.

He is not worth being kept like this.

The young man in the dark yellow military uniform straightened Sigma's slightly messy long hair, sighed slightly and comforted him: "In the future, you will spend more time with that child, and you will have him and the brand new Fior Treat Dole as your family, they will be my replacements for my dead...lovers."

As early as the very beginning, he planned to send Sigma to Dazai Osamu, even at the expense of hundreds of reincarnations in advance.

This can protect the child from speaking, and also prevent him from losing his way in the most difficult time.For Sigma, it also allows him to no longer feel lonely and find a place called home.

This seemingly perfect arrangement really makes people feel chest tight.

This is the perfect ending for everyone except Pandora's Actor.

Sigma struggled to reveal an overly bitter smile, and said with a choked tone: "I don't know why, I seem to have felt that this would be the result."

The home that was finally found, the destination that was finally found... It was completely broken in such a short period of time, without even giving him a chance to react, everything disappeared.

"According to the original trajectory, you in the future will say similar things." Pandora's Actor blinked, and resumed his slightly relaxed tone in the past, as if he didn't care about his overly heavy arrangements. There is still half a year left before the world is destroyed, and for you, this is also a necessary settling time."

He needs Sigma to stay in the world in the "book" for half a year, and then he will be allowed to meet the newborn Dazai Osamu for the next step.

"Do you want me to... protect him?" The young man hesitated as he struggled to keep up with Pandora's train of thought.

The man in military uniform turned around and walked towards the glass curtain wall of the hanging garden again, facing Sigma who had finally calmed down with his back.

He lightly touched the cold glass with his fingertips, felt the cold temperature spread, and said with his lips and teeth open: "You who have returned to the 'book' will not be dragged by this world, and you will be able to avoid the coming destruction in the near future. When everything is fully prepared, that child... my successor will give birth to you again, allowing you to return to the real world again."

As long as it is in the "book", it can cause time inequalities in other worlds.Even if the outside world has experienced hundreds of reincarnations and thousands of years, Sigma staying in the "book" will only pass through a short half a year.

Originally, he could compress time to an instant, but due to some force majeure, he needed Sigma, who was familiar with the power of the "book", to appease Osamu Dazai, who had just obtained this power.

Half a year is already the shortest time limit he needs to complete the plan.

"I don't understand why you have to make such a choice?"

Sigma, who didn't know all this, struggled to suppress the sourness coming from his chest.Under the too harsh sunlight, the figure of the man's back became blurred.

"Eternal life is the greatest punishment for a person. What's even more cruel is that you can only watch the candle in the wind carefully guarded in your palm slowly burn out. The moment it goes out, you fall into the boundless darkness .”

Pandora's Actor chuckled lightly, looking down at the land from the too wide sky, his smile showed unconcealable exhaustion and the relief of finally finding relief.

"I'm already very tired..."

Countless times of persuasion, countless times of restarting time, but no matter what, he couldn't keep the last trace of warmth from the person he loved deeply.

He once possessed light for a short time, and he also found a reason for him to live for it.That light wasn't dazzling, it could even be said to belong to the darkness completely, but it was bright and soft, so that he didn't have to continue wandering in the abyss.

He tried to dodge, but was firmly held by the other party, and finally hugged into his arms, making each other the only one to rely on.

So he chose to accept and decided to use the other party as the reason for his survival.Thoroughly open your overly soft heart, carefully restrain the love revealed by the other party, and return the same feeling.

However, as Osamu Dazai once said, from the moment something is obtained, the future is doomed to be lost.

It's like the moment when a sweet dream finally wakes up, and the soap bubble that carries the happy future of the two of them bursts at the touch of a button.

He could only watch helplessly as his lover fell.

There is nothing more cruel than ruthlessly destroying hope in front of you after you have gained hope.

Pandora's Actor is Osamu Dazai who was crushed by despair and went mad after experiencing countless reincarnations.

Now he just wants to get back his right to sleep peacefully.

That's it.
