My Bungo system is a little different

"It's too late to tell me that."

After saying these words with a smile, Osamu Dazai left in front of Dostoevsky.

Osamu Dazai couldn't have been more aware of how different a person's image can be from different perspectives, and he also understood the truth of the matter in general - that no one sees the whole truth.

However, as for the final destination that "Bradbury" wants to achieve, he has no intention of delving into it.Perhaps he was vaguely aware of the other party's answer from the very beginning.

——It's different, something that might make people laugh if you say it out loud.

Isn't this approach similar to that guy who is still taking care of minors in Yokohama?

"Mr. Dazai, is this enough?"

Otoko Yuta's question interrupted Osamu Dazai's thoughts.

Osamu Dazai looked distractedly at the conjurer who was his half subordinate.

Otoko Yuta is sitting on the ground with Lixiang watching the snow.

When not in a combat state, this super magician looks very gentle, and his exclusive magic spirit seems to be immersed in tranquility.

"My business is almost over, wait another 10 minutes at most." Dazai said, "I hope I didn't delay your business too much."

The so-called "your matter" naturally does not refer to exorcising the curse spirit or releasing Rilke Tsvetayeva's domain, but the matter of Yi Gu and Li Xiang.

It can really be revived in the field.

Yi Gu got such assurance from Dazai.In other words, Lixiang, who was forced to stay beside him in an inhuman manner, could become a living person again.

However, unlike other people who are directly immersed in the field and have no choice at all, the situation of Yi Gu Youtai is slightly different.

As long as he doesn't take the initiative to let go of his spell defense, he will not enter the 'second chance'.

And what he hesitated about was——

"Rika, what do you think?"

Although it was Otoko Yuta's curse that made Lika a curse spirit, he knew Lixiang's possessiveness towards him was there from the beginning.

Li Xiang, who turns back into a human, will no longer have the terrifying power she had as a curse spirit, and she may not even have spell power.

Oto himself doesn't care about that, but what would Rika think?

The two people who had no objection to the previous abnormal coexistence undoubtedly had a big gap with the common sense of society at some levels.

The little girl turned around and held Otoko Yuta's palm, then raised——

She is looking at the ring that Yi Gu has been wearing on his hand.

"Although this is not bad." Lixiang said slowly, her face was full of real happiness, "but I still want to marry Yuta."

Are you married?I see.

Otoko Yuta agreed with Li Xiang's decision without any objection.He held Lixiang's tiny palm back and said, "Then let's wait a little longer."

Wait another 10 minutes.

Waiting for you to grow up again.

It doesn't matter, it's been waiting for so long anyway, hasn't it?

-------------------------------------

【…

The supernatural power used by Rilke before his death and Tsvetaeva itself are "ghosts" composed of self-contradictory singularities and then constitute a new and larger singularity.This singularity completely covers and isolates the town.

In this new singularity, anyone who has ever summoned a 'ghost' will enter a fictional world like a dream together with the 'ghost' he summoned.There, he will go back to the day he lost his 'ghost', as long as he doesn't repeat the same mistakes, then he and the people he wants to save will wake up as living people together.In that fictitious dream-like world, the original dead can retain their memories, but they cannot directly disclose information to the living who only have memory fragments, unless the latter remember it by themselves.There was a reason why the conditions were so simple—Rilke and Tsvetaeva died utterly together.As the owner of the domain, he chose the other side to achieve a balance of life and death.

No one who came to this small town is stupid, and everyone has obsessions.Therefore, it is very reasonable that all the 'ghosts' were successfully resurrected except the earliest 'ghost' in the end.At this point, the confusion between life and death is completely over, and the domain is lifted.

...]

-------------------------------------

"Did Rilke and Tsvetaeva die just like that?" Yosano Akiko asked.

The others either went to Osamu Dazai to help imprison Dostoevsky, or comforted the revived people who were gradually waking up on the street. Among the people who knew what happened just now, only she and "Bradbury" Sitting in Tsvetaeva's house doing nothing.

There are no conflicts and struggles in the current town, so her supernatural powers are useless.

"Bradbury" didn't change the clothes that were stained with 'blood stains', but just put on another thick coat --- the fireplace here in "Tsvetaeva" is far from the one in her own stronghold The fire is warm.

"Bradbury" was not surprised after hearing the question with Akiko Yosano.

"Rilke died of illness, and so did Tsvetaeva." She folded her hands on her stomach. "And most importantly, neither of them wanted a second chance."

Yosano Akiko couldn't help staring into those calm steel blue eyes.

"How did you understand the thoughts of the two of them?" Yosano swallowed 'until the last moment'.

"Bradbury" lowered her eyes, and after a while, she replied, "Whenever the song starts, that's him, once for all. He comes and goes.*"

"This is Rilke's poem. I am not surprised that he made this choice. Rilke had thought enough about death a long time ago. It is love, not death, that limits him. In the end His conclusion was that obedience should not be overdue."

"Bradbury" did not answer how she knew the hearts of the lovers.But Yosano Akiko heard some implication from her words.

The female doctor suddenly remembered the key that "Rilke" gave her downstairs in "Tsvetaeva" the day she first arrived in this town.

While looking directly at the red-haired woman sitting opposite, she took out the key from her pocket.

"Then you must know why "Rilke" gave me this." Yosano said.

The silver key lay in her palm with a reflection.

"Bradbury" picked up the key and looked at it, but did not return it to Akiko Yosano.

"This is the key to the door of the house I stayed in before." She raised her eyebrows and said clearly, "It seems that since then, he has decided that he will end up here. As for why for you--"

What "Rilke" did after giving up the opportunity to regret it was naturally not a 'resistance'.

"I think this is a kind of consolation for you." "Bradbury" said, "He probably thought that you might care a little bit about this ending, and he was going to let me talk to you. At the same time, he also told you that his choice Not the result of manipulation."

Really... isn't it manipulation?

-------------------------------------

【…

Such a large-scale resurrection of the dead will naturally cause an international uproar, not to mention that there will even be a resurrection of a transcendent.However, there were actually two, because Verlaine had 'died' before.

How far can a person with supernatural powers do?The events that took place in the small town near Yelabuga had an international impact similar to that of the 'Seven Betrayers'.It has become a new consensus to handle matters related to people with supernatural powers more carefully.However, 'resurrection' and 'betrayal' are different after all, so although the public opinion this time also has ethical doubts and doubts about the manipulator behind the scenes, most of them are relatively mild.

In addition, this large-scale resurrection has unexpectedly alleviated many contradictions.In short, the entire world has entered a stalemate of relaxation, and the forces of all parties are very cautious about every step, and there may be no serious conflicts for a long time in the future.

On the Japanese side, since the incident was caused by the theft of the "book pages", it has further increased its emphasis on and care for the "book". Facing the eyes of foreign forces, it has to rely more deeply on the local forces in Yokohama for the time being.

With the doubled prudence of all parties and the reduction of actual conflicts, people with supernatural abilities have gradually seen another way, that is, the non-force aspect.What can be done to increase influence peacefully?

Options seem to be given from their souls.Some people thus went to the road of writing.

-------------------------------------

"Why do I still have to meet with you?" "Bradbury" said with some dissatisfaction.

Knowing that he was disgusted on the surface but actually wanted to avoid suspicion, Osamu Dazai just pretended not to hear what Bradbury said.

"After the domain is released, the devil's ability becomes dangerous, Miss Bradbury." He said, "If you want to talk to him, please bear with me for a while."

"This excuse doesn't work, Dazai-kun. Fyodor's ability doesn't work on me." "Bradbury" casually revealed the secret.

In the end, Osamu Dazai stayed at the farthest diagonal in the room, while "Bradbury" and Dostoyevsky talked very close.

"...Do you want to congratulate you?" The Russian spoke first.

There was no anger on his face.

"Bradbury" blinked.

"Actually... I still have a long way to go." Her tone was very frank, "I'm still far from your congratulations."

When "Bradbury" met Dosi in the past, she always looked very empty, or so perfect that she was false.

There has never been an atmosphere of casual talk like this before.

"You got the 'book'." Tosi said.

"Bradbury" shrugged noncommittally.

"Even though you got the 'book', didn't you get what you wanted to do?"

This question somewhat deviates from Tosi's usual image.

"Maybe what I want to do is the kind of thing that would be meaningless if you directly use the 'book' to achieve it." "Bradbury" said calmly.

The Russian who heard this evoked a smile, and he said: "Then, the 'burning' you said at that time is actually the complete opposite."

"Bradbury" nodded.

"'Burn' is the furthest thing from my wish," she said. "Also, my personality may be a bit problematic, but the dominant part has never deviated."

This is tantamount to admitting that he has made friends with bad intentions from the beginning.

Given the current state of the two, it seems miraculous that they can still talk so peacefully.

"Did you write anything about me in the 'book'?" asked the trapped man after a while.

This is obviously a question that can only be asked with a steely will after careful consideration.

"Bradbury" showed a slightly evil smile, and tilted his head pretendingly.

"Fyodor, I probably wrote it. But I have forgotten." She looked very proud. "I think it will be difficult for you to guess what I wrote."

"Oh?"

"However—it's not impossible to give some hints." Suddenly, Bradbury's expression softened.

She pointed at Osamu Dazai who pretended not to be listening behind her with her finger, and said, "I chose him for a reason."

Osamu Dazai raised his hand by the way, and responded with a smile: "I know the answer to this question. Because I am a genius novelist! Mr. Fyodor, if you write a novel of 100 million words in Meursault, it will probably be as short as [-] million words. No more backstabbing by Miss Bradbury."

Whether Dostoevsky took the joking words of these two men seriously, no one knows yet.

-------------------------------------

【…

Raina Bradbury is the mastermind behind this resurrection.It took about two months for this news to reach the ears of every decent faction after the whole thing was over.How she did it, no one can give a definite statement.It is recognized that the most credible version is that she used 'book pages', but the Japanese side insisted that there was no writing on the 'book pages' they retrieved, and they were still blank.Bradbury's unknown ability also brings more possibilities to speculation.

Her means and purpose are suspicious, but because her actions have brought back many people's loved ones, international attitudes toward her are divided—she can find people willing to help her wherever she goes, and she always Can meet people who try to explore her secrets.The latter don't seem to bother Bradbury, as she takes advantage of them mercilessly.

The biggest help she received came from her old club 'The Combination'. The current leader of the 'combination', Francis Fitzgerald, once thought of finding the 'book' at all costs and resurrecting his dead daughter.After Fitzgerald successfully revived his daughter Scott in the small town, his wife's mental problems also improved greatly and began to show signs of recovery.For that reason, he was willing to accommodate any request Bradbury made that didn't involve his family, and what Bradbury made, proved to be no problem for Fitzgerald.

...]

-------------------------------------

"Are you going back to the group?" Fitzgerald asked.

He and Bradbury were flying back to Minnesota from Kazan in a private jet that he owned.

Fitzgerald had little impression of the name Lena Bradbury in the past. When he mentioned it, he could barely remember that he was a former member of the 'Group', who quit after the internal forces of the 'Group' were handed over.Although he retained Melville, it was for the sake of 'Moby Dick', and he didn't value the other members.

But this time...he secretly compared "Bradbury" with his other two brains, Edgar Allan Poe and Louisa Alcott, and felt that the former intelligence agent was better at making troubles .

"Bradbury" was staring at the sea of ​​clouds outside through the small window, but when she heard Fitzgerald's question, she turned her head back.

"This is still not enough, I have something I want to do."

Fitzgerald could see the determination in those steel-blue eyes.So he changed the question.

"So, what do you want? In a common sense, there should be nothing I can't do for you."

As he spoke, there was a bit of self-mockery in his tone.In a common sense...ha.

"Bradbury" looked towards the sea of ​​clouds again from the small window.

After a long time, she said, "Your Excellency, what if I ask you to return the white whale to Herman?"

Before Fitzgerald agreed, "Bradbury" continued: "Sorry, I was joking just now." Although her tone did not sound like a joke.

"Maybe I need money." She sighed, saying something that Fitzgerald hadn't expected.

Money is probably the last thing he lacks.

However, he still asked the amount cautiously: "How much do you need?"

"Bradbury" said seriously: "Actually, I don't know, because I'm not good at doing business. Mr. Fitzgerald, if I want to start a company that can print and sell books all over the world, and publish books more freely and the magazine company, how much money should I need?"

a lot of.But it means little to him.The problem is in another part entirely.

"Can I know where the books are going?" Fitzgerald asked indirectly about some of the tendencies of the seemingly up-and-coming man, and his businessman part kicked into high gear.

"Basically pure literature. There may be some 'controversial' content attached. I'm personally not biased." "Bradbury" replied.

That is, basically not ready to make a profit.but--

Fitzgerald calculated the required manpower and the relationship between countries to be dredged, and found that if anyone in the world dared to say that he could complete it, it could only be him. "Bradbury" obviously thought about it before making this request with him.

Although it is a predictable loss item, the added value may be very large, and if it is agreed, even if "Bradbury" does not return to the 'combination', it is no different from returning.

"Okay." Fitzgerald said, "I don't think you are good at these things. How about I cooperate with you and let me handle business matters?"

As expected, "Bradbury" agreed without hesitation.

"Speaking of which, Poe often writes novels. He didn't come to Russia this time because he had an appointment with a detective or writer friend in Japan. Do you want to chat with him?" After finishing the brief business decision, Fitzgerald De turned to something closer to small talk.

Of course, this is part of the draw.

"Bradbury" laughed, and she replied, "I'd love to. To be honest, it's nice to have a chat with Mr. Poe. I'm his reader."

After all, it was "Bradbury" who wrote a letter to Edgar Allan Poe and suggested that he and Edogawa Rampo have a mystery showdown.

-------------------------------------

【…

Bradbury has always wanted to see more and better literature.This is the fundamental purpose of everything she does.With Fitzgerald's help, her wish was greatly advanced.The power of money is formidable, and at the same time, there are many people who invest their energy and time in the books and magazines she helped to publish because they try to understand Bradbury's true purpose-they don't believe in such outrageous answers as literature. , pushing her wish in disguise.

During Bradbury's lifetime, the company she and Fitzgerald founded turned out to be profitable, because by then the literary renaissance was complete. 】

-------------------------------------

Chizhi wrote enough words on himself, that is, the 'book', before the props expired.

The content in it is enough to smooth out the loss of not being able to use the two vests of "Rilke" and "Tsvetaeva".

In fact, after he wrote 'Resurrection', his progress had reached 50%, and when he finished talking with Fitzgerald, his progress on the main quest jumped to over 70%.

After that it's just a matter of time.

As long as you wait patiently, the main mission will definitely be completed.

After all, this ending has already been written in the 'book'.

Who will be familiar and unfamiliar to him to write familiar and unfamiliar works?Hasn't this task completely become a benefit?

With such a mood, Chizhi opened a new book.
