However, this does not make his situation much better. At least for now, the situation he is facing may be worse than that of Central Plains.

When the mutation happened, he had just finished a round of jumping off a building, and had just bombarded a wayward famous detective with the phone to no avail.

"Hey—?" He made several calls in succession, but was not connected by Edogawa Ranpo. Osamu Dazai glanced at the screen of the mobile phone that was automatically hung up again because no one answered: "It seems that Mr. Ranpo should be I found someone..."

The color of blood slowly infiltrated the sky, and the fuselage of the towering jumping machine was painted with colorful paint, pretending to be harmless.

Bright white lights adorn the fuselage of the jumping machine, outlining a rough outline in the slightly reddish night.The dark red color spreading across the sky fills the air with an ominous atmosphere, and the uneasiness rises strangely.

Putting away the phone, Osamu Dazai glanced at the sky that seemed to be slowly drenched in blood: "It seems that we may have to 'clear the level' alone..."

"Then let's play again while there is just a little time left!"

Osamu Dazai pondered for a moment, happily decided to experience a happy jumping machine before being involved in night shift work.

Osamu Dazai hopped onto the seat. He had already used the jumping machine twice, and he fastened the safety buckle skillfully without the help of the staff.

After completing the safety measures, Osamu Dazai smiled brightly at the staff: "Please! Beautiful lady~ Please let me play again before you get off work!"

The staff in the amusement park were flexible and almost indistinguishable from real people before, and they would only show inhuman stagnation when they touched on certain tricky issues.However, at this moment, the face of the amusement park employee in front of him had faint traces of cracks, with blood seeping out.

The beautiful staff member nodded mechanically, pressed the control button on the console, and started the machine.

Amidst a dull roar, the lifting arm started to operate, and only Osamu Dazai sat in the middle of the entire row of seats, who was as happy as a baby seal patting his belly.

After an initial slow ascent, the seat climbs up and up at a very rapid pace.The field of vision suddenly expands infinitely: everything can be seen, and everything within sight becomes extremely small in an instant.

Speed ​​up, speed up, speed up without stopping!

"Yeah, yeah~~! It's such a great feeling——"

Osamu Dazai's back was pressed against the back of the chair due to the huge push back feeling, and the menacing overweight feeling increased steadily with the increase in height, and the blood surged and increased the blood pressure in an instant.

But at the next moment, this upward momentum was suddenly interrupted and stopped—he was ejected to the very top.

The feeling of weightlessness that was almost thrown away in an instant and the oppressive feeling that the safety buckle was firmly stuck would make anyone in the current situation stand up and scream, but Osamu Dazai fell silent in an instant .

Adrenaline hormones are secreted crazily, and the survival instinct of the brain releases the fear signal that it should escape.But Osamu Dazai felt a light, unprecedented sense of ease at this moment.

There are dots of street lights winding along the irregular coastline, and the lights in the central city of Yokohama in the distance are dotted with lights, which complement each other with scattered and shining neon lights, and finally—the horizon that blends with the black deep sea under the reddish sky .

At this moment, it was as if the clock had stopped, and the world fell into an extremely quiet silence.

-

"Ding dong~"

"Good evening, dear tourists, welcome to the Century Playground..." A soft male voice came from the small speaker embedded behind the seat, but Osamu Dazai couldn't hear anything.

because.......

The next moment, it fell.

The heart beats like a drum, and the beating sound of 'dongdongdong' seems to be the only sound in the world.The sudden increase in blood pressure, from overweight to weightlessness, at the same time, gives people a strong sense of physical discomfort.

Fall, fall, keep falling.

At this moment, the sky completely turned into a dark color of weeping blood. Osamu Dazai witnessed the transformation as if the world was divided: the real world was blocked and excluded by the thick blood red, and he seemed to be in a wrapped world. The giant cocoon is excluded from reality.

at the same time.

The seat platform fell to the ground at a speed that was almost out of control. It was different from the sudden braking when it reached the braking point a few times before. At the moment when the thoughts were unresponsive, it continued to sprint down and fell straight to the ground.

Dazai Osamu was so calm that it was not appropriate for the time, and there was an extremely clear and shallow smile.

All the past flashed through Osamu Dazai's mind like a revolving lantern, and he couldn't help but be amazed at the sudden and complete reappearance.Osamu Dazai has chased and approached death countless times, but he has never had such an experience.

Death came so unexpectedly and seemed to have been foreshadowed, Osamu Dazai said softly: "...Goodbye, world."

In the next second, the seat platform detached from the track, smashed heavily into the ground, and shattered into pieces.

The pain spread in every cell of Dazai Osamu, and the sensory nerves exploded toward the limbs. His consciousness was on the verge of collapse under the extreme pain—it hurts, it hurts!It hurts! !

As if falling into the vast ocean, the bones were squeezed and crushed a little bit, and it seemed to be floating in the air, unable to find a safe place to stay.

"...After checking that your play time is less than 10 minutes, we will continue to take you to experience the thrill of falling."

Osamu Dazai's body miraculously recovered from the shattered and broken body, and his body was completely out of strength.When the pain exceeds the limit of a person's tolerance, it will disappear for a moment, but when the pain is relieved, the painful pain will come back again.

Under the action of pain-sensing nerves, the unabated pain made Osamu Dazai's body tremble uncontrollably.

Osamu Dazai murmured, "It's really...unexpected."

The gentle male voice seemed to come from the distant sky, pulling Osamu Dazai's stagnant thoughts out of the white chaos: "...please stay rational before the game, otherwise you will get' A permanent experience coupon for 'Repeatedly Falling to Death'."

Although he had already guessed that Weird followed certain rules and was not strong enough to directly deprive him of his life, but when he heard the broadcast at this time, his face rarely showed a look of surprise, as if he was frightened Like children.

Dazai Osamu was not given the right to choose at all, and the moment the words of the strange male voice disappeared, he felt a certain dizziness of restriction.

Immediately afterwards, the feeling of confinement disappeared.

Osamu Dazai opened his eyes in a daze, and saw the safety buckle in front of him without a problem.

——he 'refreshed' on the seat again, and heard the roar of the machine starting up again.

"The above, I wish you...have a good time."

"What are you kidding?" The smile on Dazai Osamu's face disappeared, and as the height rose a little bit, his expression gradually turned cold: "The reason why death makes people yearn for... .. because it is one and only once."

The reason why countless people flock to death is that it is the only thing that cannot be repeated and can bring about eternal sleep and get rid of everything without waking up.

Death without the premise of eternal sleep is worthless.

"And—" Osamu Dazai's eyes fell on the brightly lit tall buildings in the distance without focus, and he said softly, "I'm super... afraid of pain."

In any case, Osamu Dazai could not enjoy the repeated 'death' with peace of mind.

So...he must hold out until the end of the...'game'.

Falling high is really the most painful way to die.

When reaching the apex again, Osamu Dazai thought from the bottom of his heart: Even if he lived to be a hundred years old, it doesn't sound as terrible as committing suicide by jumping off a building.

From this moment on, Osamu Dazai completely lost interest in this way of dying.

The seat platform stayed at the highest point for a very short moment, then ignored Osamu Dazai's distress, and rushed straight to the solid ground with his indomitable momentum.

Looking at the concrete ground getting closer and closer, before the pain struck again, Osamu Dazai had only one thought left in his mind: In this world, no one is so reckless that he would choose to commit suicide by jumping off a building, right?

.......

.......

On the other side, although the weak Hoshino caught Edogawa Ranpo before disappearing, when he regained his figure again, he was directly pressed to the ground by Edogawa Ranpo in his arms: "You Guy—!” Get up—

"I'm sorry!" Before Hoshino Yuu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Edogawa Ranpo's "I'm sorry" suddenly.

He paused for a second as if he was stuck, and then continued to slowly push Mr. Detective, who was as heavy as a stone: "Get up."

Hoshino Yuu's lower abdomen hurt a little from being pressed by another rib of his own. Why was Edogawa Ranpo so heavy, he was a little out of breath.

Edogawa Ranpo opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Are you still angry with me? Why don't you forgive me?"

Although Hoshino Yu didn't understand the relationship between letting him get up and not forgiving him, and he didn't know why he was angry.

But this does not prevent Hoshino Yuu from following the words of his other self as a matter of course, asking: "Why should I forgive you?"

"Because you didn't apologize before, Ranpo-sama will forgive you!" Edogawa Ranpo confidently and Hoshino Yuu's tone was exactly the same: "So I apologized, and you will forgive me."

"Oh." His waist was about to break, Hoshino Yu absent-mindedly pushed Edogawa Ranpo but did not push.On the contrary, when the other party noticed his movements, he pulled tighter like a kitten, Hoshino Yu could only say: "I forgive you, you get up first."

"Ranpo-sama——" Edogawa Ranpo laughed immediately, he completely ignored the second half of Hoshino Yuu's words in his heart, and only listened to the first half.

At this moment, the voice prompt, which was slow to respond because the two tourists were refreshed at the same time, suddenly sounded belatedly, interrupting what Edogawa Ranpo hadn't said yet.

"叮咚~~" After the crisp ringtone echoed, there was a gentle and gentle male voice: "It is detected that one of the two tourists on the scene has played the game for 30 minutes, please enjoy your relaxation time freely... ...."

Edogawa Ranpo immediately tightened Hoshino Yuu's arm, and the joy on his face was swept away: "I have never played a game before, and you happened to have more than 30 minutes of playing experience, and the duration of a round of games It's 30 minutes..."

Hoshino Yuu grasped Edogawa Ranpo's hand knowingly, telling him not to pinch himself so painfully: "We may have to separate."

"......I know."

"Visitors who have played the game for less than 30 minutes... enter the game experience area as soon as possible, and the nearest game items have been automatically assigned to you..."

"The name of the project is: 'Mirror Maze'. For your play experience, the park has specially added new play levels and interactive games on the basis of the maze... You have 30 minutes to visit and play, please Get out of the maze within 30nin..."

"Otherwise, you will remain in the mirror forever."
