Leader Zai and Despair Raids the World

The front of the "book".

The main world——

——has turned into a battlefield.

Broken walls and ruins, all over the place.

The wreckage of the building collapsed on the ground, with huge vertical and horizontal cracks everywhere.

If it weren't for the dampness of the seawater that still lingers in the wind, it would be almost impossible to remember that this is Yokohama.

If it wasn't for the fact that there were no ordinary people's corpses on the street corner, and if it wasn't for the sporadic gunshots coming from this area, just looking at this tragic scene would almost give people the illusion that they had returned to a few years ago, the "leader" The Dark Ages of War".

One of the reasons why there were no large-scale casualties was that the forces participating in the war deliberately controlled the scope of the battlefield, and the other reason was——

The enemy, in any case, never thought that he would be exposed so easily.

"Hahaha, hahahahaha!!!" The older man with white hair and beard who was kneeling on the ground laughed loudly.Although he was defeated, there was still arrogance and mockery on his face.That pair of astonishing eyes did not look at others, but only stared at Fa Xiao who grew up with him, and shouted his name angrily:

"Fukuzawa Yukichi!!!"

Fukuji Sakura gritted her teeth and said bitterly.

Fukuzawa Yukichi was standing a few steps away from him, covering his left shoulder with one hand, with blood oozing from under his fingers, apparently also injured.

This injury didn't shake him in any way, but Fukuzawa Yukichi's eyes twitched slightly with Fukuzawa Yukichi's roar full of resentment, and that iron face of a warrior, who had been tempered for thousands of years, turned into a cloud of complex and unspeakable emotions. A sigh.

"Genichiro..." Fukuzawa Yukichi whispered, and then changed his words: "No. The leader of the 'Five Decays of Heaven and Man', Kamui."

This title awakened the enemy's years of inflated and distorted ambitions, and it also warned everyone who had won the battle through hardships, and made others alert at the same time.

A sarcastic expression appeared on Fukuji Sakurachi's face, and following the change of Fukuzawa Yukichi's attitude, he also glanced at everyone present.

Standing behind Fukuzawa Yukichi is a member of the Armed Detective Agency.Fukuji Sakura, who has been secretly paying attention to this force, knows these two people: Kunikida Doppo, who is scheduled to be the next president, and Miyazawa Kenji, who has the ability of the power system.

Apparently, the rest of the members were hiding in the shadows... which made him suffer this time.

In the other corner stood the Port Mafia, guarding the surroundings, forming a triangular confrontation with this place.

As for the military and police... his Fudi Yingchi's former subordinates...

Suehiro Tiechang, who was seriously injured, supported his body and looked at this place guardedly. Jono Caiju bowed his head and knelt beside him, while Okura Yeko, who had lost consciousness, was blocked by them.

Tsk.For a moment, Fukuchi Sakurachi truly felt sorry for these subordinates who could not understand his righteousness, and was also annoyed at the untimely exposure of his identity. In order to avoid the possibility of his subordinates betraying him and being attacked by the enemy, he had to abolish these people with his own hands.At the next moment, he couldn't help but think of a way out: "Five Decays of Heaven and Man", a cross-border criminal organization that exists to make Fudi Yingchi seize the real power of the human army.If Gogol, who has the ability of space system, is here, or Fyodor Dostoyevsky...

"—Don't think about it." Taneda Shantouhuo suddenly interrupted, "Good news. The 'detective' has found evidence of the crime." He put down the half-broken civilized stick, pressed the earphone with his hand, and listened for a while The subordinate's report, he breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and nodded.

'detective'?The name spit out from Taneda Santouki and the head of the Supernatural Special Affairs Section has a specific direction, making Fukuji Sakurachi's facial muscles tense.impossible.He thought, 'Detective' refers to Edogawa Ranpo who is not at the scene, right?It can't be a 'murder detective', no, it can't be that Ayatsuji pedestrian...

At this moment when even the air feels stagnant——

"Hey, hello? Hey, hey! Can you hear me?"

From someone's mobile phone, someone suddenly yelled and shouted without knowing the atmosphere at all, and even seemed noisy.

"Wait, wait, Mr. Ranpo—the equipment has just been adjusted—"

"Ah, wait, wait, ah~ don't touch it~! The steering wheel! The steering wheel is going to be crooked!!!"

"Don't worry~ Big brother, Naomi won't let anything happen to you~~(heart)"

At the same time, there were screams, screams, and subtle dialogues that I don't know how to describe.

Fukuzawa Yukichi: "..."

The president of the Armed Detective Agency was silent for a while, ignoring the various sights focused on him at this moment with the iron will of a martial arts practitioner, and took out the mobile phone remotely controlled by Tian Shan Hanabou from the long sleeve of the kimono, sinking shouted:

"Random steps."

...For some reason, there was a "quack" sound from the microphone as if the duck was being pinched by the neck.

Luanbu fished the phone back in a hurry and put it close to his ear.

"Knock him out." Luanbu said, "There is no room for any mistakes in the next thing."

Edogawa Ranpo became serious.

"And..." Luanbu paused for a moment, feeling a little awkward and nervous, and added clumsily like a child, "If, I mean if..." Luanbu said in a low voice, "The next choice must be This is not the result. Don't be sad, President."

Fukuzawa Yukichi lowered his eyes in such clumsy words of comfort.He didn't say that the Fukuji Sakurachi he knew had made a mistake, nor did he say that he was worried about the so-called "choice" in his heart, but his trust in Edogawa Ranpo remained the same as before.In a heavy silence, Fukuzawa Yukichi finally bent down, put on Fukuji Sakurachi the torture tool that restricted supernatural powers, and slashed the neck of his old childhood friend with a knife.

"...How is the situation on your side, Luanbu."

Straightening his body, Fukuzawa Yukichi asked.

Hearing the president's concern, Ranbu subconsciously glanced inside the car.

This is a van with an ordinary appearance, it is the kind of vehicle that can be afforded by the middle class, which is inconspicuous in the traffic flow.The person who was driving was Tanizaki Junichiro, a member of the detective agency who possesses the fantasy ability [Xiyuki]. However, he just escaped from the pursuit of "Five Decays of Heaven and Man", and the process was very embarrassing. His forehead hit the front window Out of a big bag, sister Naomi is warmly applying ice to her brother.

Edogawa Ranpo, the core of the entire armed detective agency, was sitting in the back of the car.

Sitting with him was Tian Shan Hanabou who rarely went out.

As for why Tianshan Hanabou with the ability to manipulate electronic products in the field of vision is needed, it is almost clear at a glance in the trunk of the car that has been modified:

The car seat was emptied and two folding beds were installed in the compartment, which was full of dense electronic equipment.

A long electrical conduit hangs from each electronic device, and the chip at the other end is attached to the human temple, carotid artery, and heart.

It was the two dubbed "Xin Shuanghei" who were bound on the hospital bed to prevent them from injuring themselves unconsciously.

——Atsushi Nakajima, Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

Judging from the expressions of the two of them clenching their teeth and showing pain even when they were in a coma, it was obvious that they had fallen into a nightmare of despair and could not wake up.

That is to say——

This time, the two who were selected by the "pure white room" and watched the world of despair were the two people who were jointly selected as "pillars" in the inner and outer worlds.

This was completely within the expectations of Dazai and Ranpo.

What Ranpo has to do is to judge the time point that the back of the "book" is experiencing by observing the brain wave activity of Atsushi and Akutagawa.

As for Dazai, he judged the ongoing plan on the front of the "book" through the fluorescent yellow vip barrage—the words shouted by Atsushi and Akutagawa.

Whether it is the inside or the outside of the "book", they are all working hard for the same happy ending.

"'If it suits me, everything is fine'. That's what I should have said," Ranpo muttered to himself, "but the fool who pushed everyone to happiness and died alone didn't even have me. What's more, if everyone is happy in the end, the president is unlikely to blame me...? Hmm! Then it's decided!"

After chattering a lot, Ranbu suddenly raised his voice without warning:

"The third week has started, prepare for the countdown!" Luanbu said loudly, "Start working, Professor Glasses!"

"Professor Glasses": "...So, can you stop calling me that?"

This voice, Luan Bu, was yelled from the external speaker of the mobile phone, which directly made all the conscious people in the audience turn their eyes away.

Stared at by everyone, "Professor Glasses", Ango Sakaguchi, had to hide his embarrassment and pushed the frame with his fingers, and staggered out from behind the ruins.

He also looked very embarrassed, with a disheveled face, all the lens on his left eyeglass was missing, and a long and narrow wound was cut near his knee by a sharp weapon.In the battle just now, the Supernatural Secret Service Division was almost completely destroyed. All this was because the "bait" prepared in advance was very effective. As expected, Fukuchi Sakurachi was attracted by the information of the "book" and was ready to fight for this book A blank universal wishing book... This book is being embraced by Ango Sakaguchi.

"..." Zhongtian Shantouhuo sensed something was wrong, immediately raised his guard, narrowed his eyes, and called out the full name of his subordinates in a deep voice:

"What are you doing, Ango Sakaguchi?"

At the same time, the three forces that are still on the scene are faintly concentrated. Excluding the military and police who have no leader and have been betrayed by the leader, the armed detective agency, the port mafia, and the supernatural secret service department have shown a three-way confrontation.

This tense situation caused thin cold sweat to ooze from the forehead of Tan Tianshan, and his fingers were placed on the emergency alarm notifying the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"..."

"..."

The leader of the armed detective agency and the port mafia looked at each other, and it was Mori Ogai who spoke first.

"In some original future, someone would say: 'There is a young man in front of me who wants to die. I want to save him, but I can't do anything'." Sen said, his tone was light, but there was a hint of gloom in his expression. "Although I'm not incompetent to this extent, I'm not necessarily happy to see that kind of scene.———That being said, you won't believe it either."

The leader of the port mafia pulled his hands out of his pockets, no deadly scalpel hidden between his fingers, he just brushed the red scarf around his neck with his white-gloved fingers: so he too was black and pale , Yinhong three colors.

"Then let's start from the perspective of the mafia. Since you have promised such a bright future, for the sake of profit, I can't take a step back." Mori Ogai finished speaking calmly, raised his hand, and The two subordinates, Nakahara Nakaya and Ozaki Koyo, who were calm and ready to go, listened to the order and backed away—at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, Fukuzawa Yukichi also spoke in a low voice.

"The Armed Detective Agency will never give up on any member."

This sentence is short, but it has a heavy weight that spans the world.

"..." Taneda Shantou frowned, and turned his gaze back to Sakaguchi Ango, a subordinate who had never made him doubt.

Sakaguchi Ango shook his head and sighed. "Don't look at me so disbelievingly, sir. You know exactly what I'm up to."

At this moment Anwu really wanted to smile wryly, he was thinking about that bastard Dazai, he must have known how much trouble he would cause him today; for another moment he was messed up thinking about another Dazai he had seen through the screen, in that gentle but extremely In the lonely world, "Sakaguchi Ango" didn't even have any interaction with Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke, and he didn't even have the chance to know what he had lost.The next moment, Ango Sakaguchi couldn't restrain himself, recalling the day he met Dazai.

The sea breeze from Yokohama blows the cliffs, and the leaves rustle softly.

The crimson sunset is about to be swallowed up by half of the sea.

The endless sea has already been dyed red by the setting sun, and with the sea breeze, the waves are shimmering.

"I leave it to you, 'Sakaguchi-san'."

With his back turned to him, Dazai deliberately poked someone's foot when he opened his mouth, and said another name Dazai called him.

Ango took a step behind Dazai, looking at the figure with his hands in his pockets, only a wry smile remained.

"You can rest assured..." Unknowingly, a bitter soliloquy slipped out of the corner of her mouth.

These words were full of regrets that could not be let go. I didn't expect that Dazai heard it, but this man replied without turning his head:

"What. Aren't you a member of the Rascals?"

"—!!"

Sakaguchi Ango's eyes widened for a moment.

It is no exaggeration to say that the first sip of nectar that a traveler who has struggled and trudged in the desert for a long time is nothing more than this.

Anwu didn't know how long he stood on the cliff that day.It wasn't until Dazai had long since disappeared, and until the setting sun had completely sunk below the sea level, and the moonlight quietly reflected the waves, that Ango lowered his head and smiled at the silent stone tablet.

"'The world where Sakunosuke Oda can write novels with peace of mind' will make it a reality."

Thinking of this, Ango Sakaguchi shook his head again and smiled.

"Sorry, Mr. Farming. There is no great reason," Ango said calmly, "I just hope..."

"In Lupine's bar, there are three friends who can sit together and have a drink."

--Time is up.

Ango Sakaguchi didn't hesitate any longer, and picked up a pen to write on the blank pages of the "book".

It is not acceptable to write stories directly on the "book".Doing that can only summon a certain parallel world to replace the real world.

If Fukuji Sakurachi is left alone, then this time Fukuji Sakurachi gets the "book" and uses the "book" to do experiments, it will affect the if world that is only the inner page of the "book", that is——

The truth that the world is gradually becoming hopeless and /will be overwritten/ in the end.

What Ango Sakaguchi has to do is to increase the possibility of that little bit of confusion.

bring it on!Choose!

bring it on!pray!

Bet on the restart world line of [if Touken Ranbu]——

Bet on the crossing timeline of [if spell return battle]——

Gamble on the [Rogue Faction]'s friendship——

Please let [if Bungou Stray Dogs] become real! ! !

——Ango Sakaguchi stopped writing.

The Japanese characters that emerged from the end of the sky quietly covered the world.

The people who stepped on the ruins looked up at this scene with faint smiles on their faces.

The whole of Yokohama fell asleep.

However, there is no need to wait long.

Those who are asleep will, in a new dawn--

wake up.

The author has something to say: "May you have a good dream, and then open your eyes to see a hopeful future."
