[Taizhong] Pick a flower that blooms in my heart and give it to you

Chapter 5

05.

"I never liked Mori-san."

"I like you."

——Zhong Yuanzhong also opened his eyes suddenly, gasping for breath, turned over and sat up suddenly.

The familiar morning, the familiar ceiling, the familiar [-]:[-].There was no port incident that directly ruined their New Year's holiday, and there was no Dazai Osamu who always looked him back and forth with creepy eyes. Death brought him back to December [-]th again, and reloaded the file.

Zhong Yuanzhong also sat on the bed panting heavily, wondering if it was his illusion, he always felt that his hands and feet were still cold after "archiving and rebirth", and his fingertips were slightly numb, as if he still had the feeling of the cold winter before his death last week. The severe cold experienced by the port late at night.However, it turned out that he was thinking too much. A few seconds later, he finally came back to his senses, squeezed his fingertips, and found that the temperature was normal, without the numbness and itching caused by the low temperature, which proved that he was only affected by memory. It's just the impact of the previous week, the body has completely returned to the state it was on Wednesday - the tattoo flower on the chest is no exception, closed again and returned to the bud. He looked away distractedly, and stretched out his hands impatiently to brush the somewhat messy hair after a night of sleep. He always felt that if he continued like this, he might have an allergic reaction to everything related to flowers.

The experience of "death" is really unsatisfactory. The cold and darkness invaded together, bringing boundless loneliness and loneliness. The moment before the consciousness disappeared, I couldn't care about the pain. That kind of body and consciousness section The horrible experience of slowly breaking away from the knot was even more unbearable for him.

It's fine if I die directly... I really don't want to die again.

It sucks.

The smart temperature control system of the apartment keeps the indoor temperature at a constant temperature of 27 degrees, which is a slightly hot temperature that would make people feel so comfortable and lazy after being tortured by the cold wind outside that even their bones are crispy.But right now, Zhongyuanzhong no longer has the mind to lie in bed leisurely, and the problem is not solved smoothly, the attack is complicated and chaotic, he died twice, plus the Dazai who made him feel bad...everything in this is taken out separately It was enough to make him pinch the bridge of his nose and roll his eyes a few times, not to mention that everything collided with each other, which made him upset and angry, and brought up a whole head of unclear lawsuits.

Zhongyuan Zhong also picked up the remote control to lower the temperature in the house angrily, and simply started to let the central air conditioner start to blow cold air in this deep winter.The cold wind blowing on his head calmed him down somewhat, and Zhongyuan Zhong also sat on the bed in a quilt indiscriminately, silently listening to the heartbeat that was beating extremely fast because of his sudden awakening, and waited. With this sound like a drum beating, it subsided by itself.The muscles on his naked upper body are clean and neat, the abdominal muscles are neatly arranged, and the arms are slender and full of explosive beauty. If you ignore the weird and evil tattoo flower on his chest, this man should be able to capture all meaningless men, women and children. A good body for the human gaze.

It is not difficult to want to sleep with Osamu Dazai.Zhong Yuanzhong also suddenly thought of this in a mess of thoughts.

If you want to just go to bed, with his understanding of that bastard's preferences, he doesn't need to resort to any scheming, pick a suitable day and atmosphere, stand in front of that bastard, and unbutton his shirt one by one while poking him straight Just an invitation, Osamu Dazai will not refuse.

It's just a pity that his desire for Dazai is not limited to this. It would be better to say that if he really wants to bite down on that bit of meat but can't have more, it will only bring more hunger. For the sake of Dazai's life For the sake of thinking, and in order to avoid getting involved in such bloody news about love killings in the future, it is better not to reach out from the beginning.

Wait...it sounds like I'm some kind of nice guy saying that.

...disgusting.

Zhong Yuanzhong also waited for himself for 5 minutes, and then managed to wrinkle his brows into a small pimple during these 5 minutes; after 5 minutes, he shook his head, cleaned up his emotions well-trained, his back The cold sweat on the bed and the violent heartbeat have calmed down together, he got up from the bed and went into the bathroom, turned on the shower head and took a comfortable hot shower.

Another 15 minutes passed, and Nakahara Nakaya coolly turned off the shower head after taking a shower. The smallest cadre of the port mafia finally got rid of the short-term and chaotic influence brought about by "the second death", and jumped out of the bathroom alive and kicking. Tata walks all the way, dripping water from the ends of his hair to the floor, while thinking about how he will start the game now that the third week has just started, this time he must clear the level once.

Walking into the kitchen, the toaster started humming. Nakahara Nakahara opened the refrigerator door and took out salad dressing, vegetable leaves and ham slices, then leaned against the closed refrigerator door and waited for his own breakfast.While waiting for the toast to be baked, he grabbed a stack of sticky notes the size of a palm, took out a pen and unscrewed the cap to write down some clues—just like the games he wrote down with his tongue when he couldn’t get past the game level. Raiders.

Nakahara Chuya held the plastic pen cap in his mouth, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then wrote roughly on the note: First.

First of all, finding a doctor is not the main line.

This is his inference in exchange for two deaths.He discovered that no matter whether it was Dr. Mori or Xie Ye, as long as he wanted to go to any of them, there would be various situations that hindered him, either he could not be contacted, or the flight took off, or he would be blocked. Being involved in an accident, nothing can be solved, it’s mainly a waste of time—maybe there is a way to meet them at the beginning, but in addition to catching up with time, there are other hidden conditions that need to be fulfilled... But He didn't know where to go, and he didn't want to use the clumsy and painful method of dying again and again to explore.After all, no one knows whether he can really file an infinite number of deaths. If there is a limit on the number of times, if he closes his eyes without knowing it, he will never be able to wake up again?

This is something no one can guarantee.

So he decided to start with another obvious clue.

Zhong Yuanzhong also slowly wrote down the second point on the paper.

Second, it is necessary to go to the port.

This is what he cares most about. It is something that did not happen in the first week, and it directly led to his embarrassing end in the second week, leaving such a big mess.But which one or which actions of his caused the chaos, Zhongyuan Zhongye has been deliberating over and over again after receiving the call, and finally believes that the most suspicious thing is "I didn't go to the port, but changed the way." Detective Agency" matter.

But he doesn't know what the difference is. Could it be that the other party saw him at the scene and thought he would interfere with the plan, so they didn't launch the attack?But the problem is that even if he is not there, Akutagawa is still there leading the elite of the black lizard. If he is worried about the interference of powerful mafia people with supernatural powers, there is no reason why Akutagawa would dare to attack so readily when he sees Akutagawa.

To be honest, in recent years, because of his status as a cadre, he has seldom acted in person, and he is in charge of his family's overseas forces. He often travels abroad more often in a year. Now it is Akutagawa's murderous spirit, which makes everyone worry about it. The boy in Yokohama is more deterrent to the outside world. The underworld forces are fighting and killing all day long, and the people who are more taboo against him are often those old people who have several years of experience in various organizations.

So what is the problem?Zhongyuan Zhong was also puzzled, he put a question mark next to the word "port", and then wrote the word "inner ghost".

This is also an existence that did not appear in the first play, but suddenly appeared in the second play when he was about to continue busy with work.Judging from his tone, it seemed that he was the reason why he got this damn flower-spitting disease.The insider, who was wearing the uniform of the lowest-ranking member of the mafia and didn't let himself see his face clearly, used... yes, he used the word "virus flower", probably the other party's ability, and from Dazai Judging from the fact that the nullification didn't work on him, it was either because the opponent's ability was directly placed on his heart, or because the opponent's ability was simply planting the virus——

The conditions for releasing abilities for a certain organ are mostly harsh, and at the very least, physical contact is required.Zhong Yuanzhong is also sure that he has not been so careless recently, so there is a great probability that it is the latter possibility.

As for why the special ability should be targeted at him, it is the best thing to figure out, anyway, there are only a few reasons left and right.Since he was not the top cadre of the mafia, a lot of people have been caught thinking about his death. There are countless similar targets. After being promoted to the top cadre, it is even worse. There is nothing to say about this. Just kill the enemy right away.What is more urgent now is to solve this attack... so that he can solve his own problems smoothly.

Zhongyuanzhong also wrote out the most important clues, and went through them one by one in his heart to make sure that there were no omissions.So the current situation is that a group of unknown forces have prepared a conspiracy to deal with them, and they know the powers and types of powers of the inner ghosts.But what kind of power it is, the details of the conspiracy, the relationship between that attack and his presence... But there is still room for investigation.

“…………”

Zhong Yuanzhong was biting the plastic pen cap restlessly, biting back and forth, almost leaving several tooth marks full of question marks on it.

The toast was baked, and the Mafia cadre who was about to have a cerebral hemorrhage threw down the pen and notes together, planning to add some sugar and nutrition first.The breakfast skills forced out by the long-term single life, Zhongyuan Zhong also fired hot oil, fried an egg for himself quickly, and mixed it with ham slices and vegetable leaf salad dressing, and made himself a ham and egg sandwich in just a few minutes Breakfast with hot coffee comes out.

However, just as he was holding a sandwich in one hand and coffee in the other, and sipping his head on the porcelain cup, he suddenly thought of the cup of coffee Ozaki Koye gave him in the late night harbor in the second week, and the unspeakable love he had before he died. A brief meeting with Osamu Dazai within half a minute.

If one moment before death he just wanted to tell Osamu Dazai what he wanted to say quickly, and the next moment he returned to the original point—that is, just now—still immersed in the suffocating loneliness and coldness brought about by death, then At this moment, Nakahara swallowed the coffee thoughtfully, and finally began to recall the state of Osamu Dazai in those 30 seconds.

The bandaged bastard only seemed to have said one useful thing, like...

Seems to be……

"Osamu Dazai grabbed Chuya's clothes firmly: "Did you meet the ghost?!""

Zhong Yuan suddenly stopped drinking coffee and frowned.

Although at that time he ignored such details because of the extreme pain, but looking back now, he can find that Dazai knew it!At that time, Osamu Dazai already knew about the ghost!

Found it while messing around in the port for fun?Also, if something was wrong, the guy, who was one of the best in the world of scheming and intrigue, would find it perfectly normal.Maybe he even figured out the cause and effect of this incident clearly and clearly during those few hours.

Zhong Yuanzhong also thought of this, and slowly drank the miserable coffee in his mouth expressionlessly.

He discovered a fact.

That is, if he wants to solve the Mafia incident and end his death cycle at one time in this round, it has nothing to do with him except for the two points he started to sum up: "don't go to the doctor first" and "you must go to the port". Willingness, the way to increase his success rate the most is to join hands with Osamu Dazai.Because no one is better at dealing with these twists and turns than Osamu Dazai, and no one understands the "maliciousness" in human nature better than Osamu Dazai.

Even though he has successfully planted flower vomit disease on his heart, so that he has fallen into such a dilemma, if there are ten points in this "credit", then Dazai Osamu can get seven or eight points even if he is modest.

The problem is now obvious.

Should he die, or should he bite the bullet and ask Osamu Dazai for help?

Zhong Yuanzhong was also choked up by the multiple-choice question so much that his breakfast was stuck in his throat and he couldn't swallow it. He put the sandwich aside and lay face down on the dining table worriedly, thinking that this was not a multiple-choice question at all, let alone a sub-question, but a proposition .

Why do you like him?For the umpteenth time, he asked himself a question that all crushes would ask themselves.

But speaking of which...

Zhong Yuanzhong also lay on the table, recalling in a daze.

Because of his conversation with Hongye sister at the last moment, he blurted out something he shouldn't have said to Osamu Dazai regardless.At that time, his consciousness was actually very blurred, as if he couldn't say it completely, and Dazai Osamu would not remember that part, so he didn't have any psychological burden on the part of "I have confessed"...

But after he finished speaking, what expression did Dazai show?

It seemed to be very shocked... and it seemed that after a moment of shock, an even uglier expression appeared.

Was it because his ex-partner died in front of his eyes beyond his expectation?

I don't understand.But thinking about it, it doesn't seem so strange. In all fairness, if Dazai died unexpectedly in front of his eyes, he would have an ugly face.

Zhong Yuanzhong also frowned, there are too many things he can't figure out now, his mind is in a mess, like a heavy metal band started an underground live in his mind.

After a while, he sat down again, sighed and forced himself to eat his breakfast.

In the end, I made a decision not to [die directly].

Nakahara Chuya left the apartment at [-]:[-]. He didn't wait for Guangjin to come over. He had a new plan and needed to leave the house earlier.

There are not many people on the streets of Yokohama in the early morning. Today is Wednesday, and office workers and student parties can be seen everywhere at this time. Everyone is rushing to work or school, looking in a hurry. Judging from the reactions of passers-by, today is not unusual On a Wednesday, there is nothing special, nothing special happens.

Chuya Nakahara drove directly to the other end of the city and knocked on the door of one of the old apartments.

It took a full 10 minutes to knock the person out of the bed.

"...Who is it so early in the morning..." The sleepy Osamu Dazai appeared behind the door, and after seeing the knocker, he blinked slowly, without much reaction. Waking up from sleep, "Hey... what? Why did Zhong appear at the door of my apartment so early?... Are you drunk? Is it a hangover?"

Nakahara Chuya had two throbbing veins on his forehead, and he couldn't help but push the person into the room and closed the door with his backhand. Osamu Dazai staggered when he pushed him, staggered a few steps back to the living room, and fell back on the sofa, wrapping the blanket tightly. At the same time, he raised his voice, closed his eyes and called for help in a very perfunctory manner: "Come here—help—the burglary of the little mafia—"

After shouting a few words without hearing a rebuttal, Osamu Dazai, who has been dazed since he was woken up by the knock on the door, finally realized something was wrong with hindsight.He opened his eyelids a little, and looked at Chuya Nakahara, who sat down on the sofa opposite and opened a can of Coke for himself, and said sleepily and puzzledly: "Chuya is so quiet today...why? Normally, he would jump up and refute immediately." 'It's not too young'..."

Hmm, it looks like I have no memory.Nakahara Chu also made an assessment in his heart, completely relieved, and suddenly realized that this might be the only bright spot in this series of unlucky things. If he was willing to endure the pain a few more times, he could have put on his face and had an incident with Osamu Dazai All sorts of things—everything cleared up in two days anyway.

"Chuya?" Osamu Dazai wrinkled his nose.

Nakahara also came back to his senses, realized that he was thinking about something dangerous just now, and quickly drank half a can of Coke in one breath to suppress the obscene and perverted thoughts, and complained in his heart about the bastard Dazai Unreasonable and without any psychological pressure, he pushed the blame on Dazai Osamu.

"I said, did Zhong also come to my house to drink Coke?... That's my last can of Coke, and you have to pay me." It seemed that he was keenly aware that his ex-partner came back after four years. It doesn't look like he was drunk or whim to blame Xing Shi who decisively abandoned him after a long absence from the team some time ago.Osamu Dazai rubbed his hair, sat up under a blanket, yawned and asked casually: "Or what's wrong? Did you accidentally catch someone else's ability, so you can't make a sound?"

Zhong Yuanzhong was also silent for a moment, then nodded.

Osamu Dazai was unmoved. It seemed that he didn't even bother to laugh because he got up too early, and said dryly: "Wow——bad luck. So what are you doing here? Do you want me to help you remove the ability?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also thought about it and shook his head.

"I think so. It's too weak if you can't solve it with ordinary abilities. Although Chuya is usually stupid, this type of stupid thing is not like Chuya's style." Osamu Dazai shrugged, "I want to help Let’s just talk about it, what happened to the Mafia? Anyway, besides the Mafia, I won’t ask you to come directly to my door.”

Nakahara also always felt that these words were weird, but when he thought about what Dazai said, it was not unreasonable. Indeed, if there was no such thing as flower vomiting disease, unless it was a major matter of survival with the Mafia, he was desperate and needed Dazai's help. , probably other circumstances would not make him take the initiative to knock on Osamu Dazai's door again after four years.

So he spoke, not trying to make a sound but just silently lip-syncing, so no petals fell: "Two things. There's a plot against the Mafia, and now there's an insider in the minions. Time." It's very tight, I hope you will go to the port with me in the afternoon and find out about this matter."

Osamu Dazai is skilled in distinguishing lip language, and he can easily understand the meaning of Chuya Nakahara.It's just that he frowned, apparently having doubts about his sudden visit to ask to solve the port mafia together.

And Nakahara also met his probing eyes calmly and calmly—this was the result of his entanglement all morning, how to get Dazai Osamu who had already left to help, and at the same time prevent him from discovering the inside story of his flower vomit.Anyway, he can't be cheated. He never thought that he could cheat Osamu Dazai about anything. In the last week, he didn't know what kind of shit luck he had. It may be that the lie of "I like the leader" is too powerful. Bar?However, even if the deception failed, he didn't want Osamu Dazai to know anything about his mood. Thinking that there was nothing good to do in the end, he had no choice but to take a very "Nakahara Chuya" action: directly visit the door, explain his intention, and at the same time use He did not make a sound or drop the flowers to conceal the flower vomiting disease. Anyway, since the beginning of this week, no one has known about his illness.

But Osamu Dazai must be able to see that he has concealed some things, but if he insists on not saying anything, those things will be taken one step at a time.

This plan is simple and rude, bachelor and willful, really very Chuya Nakahara's style.

Osamu Dazai obviously thought so too, because in the past few years, no one knew the little mafia in front of him better than him.He sank deep in the sofa and blanket, tilted his head and said to himself: "Conspiracy and inner ghost... sounds interesting, but it's nothing unusual, right? Even if you get hit, you can't make a sound." This kind of condition will not make you come to me directly. So the problem lies in 'time is tight'."

The declarative sentence he used, of course, did not have any doubts about his inference, but asked directly: "How much time?"

"Tomorrow at six o'clock in the evening." Nakahara Chuya said, "Depending on the situation, it may only be tonight."

"Wow, it's true or not. It's so pitiful, I will help." Osamu Dazai was politely surprised without sincerity, then hugged his knees without interest, pressed his chin on the curled up knees, and started talking Turn, "—what, of course it's a lie, so I don't want it. Why do I have to help Chuya? I'm not a member of the Mafia anymore."

This kind of answer was expected, and Nakahara was not surprised at all. It would be better to say that Dazai Osamu directly agreed, but it would make him squint his eyes and wonder if this person took some medicine indiscriminately and became confused.

So he said straightforwardly: "I can promise you a condition without reason. The old rule, 'two about' don't do it, and you can choose the rest."

Osamu Dazai narrowed his eyes: "The memorable words... Of course, this sentence is also a lie. But it's true that I haven't heard it for a long time. Even before I left a few years ago, Zhongzhong would not easily agree to my 'condition', Now I'm a little curious about what happened. I guess it has something to do with what Chuya is hiding."

Nakahara Chu also rolled his eyes helplessly—well, under normal circumstances, you really don’t want to hide anything from Osamu Dazai, he once again verified this iron rule with his own lessons.

"It looks like you won't tell me, something to hide." Osamu Dazai said lazily, holding his chin, "Then change the question—how serious is the matter? It's better than the murderous school you and I met when we were 17 years old." Is the incident of people becoming demons still serious?"

The negotiation process was much easier than imagined, probably because Osamu Dazai was not awake, lacked energy and was not willing to toss.Nakahara Zhong also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and then thought about the murderer Xuemo he mentioned just now. It was a big incident that happened to the two of them when they were 17 years old. Two months of torture and killing of mafia members at the school, before Osamu Dazai set a trap to catch him, 110 three people died in the hands of that supernatural person, including not all the supernatural persons in the management and the mafia, and even one It was the top five cadres at that time.It can be said that the resolution of that incident was the direct reason for being able to be promoted from a quasi-cadre to a cadre so quickly.

Central Plains also compared it, and hesitated to think that it should not be more serious than that time. After all, he was the only one who died so far. The port incident is quite troublesome, but the death and injury list looks like that in terms of numbers, so I just shook my head seriously.

Osamu Dazai let out a long "Oh—" and said, "Then we're going after Verlaine at the age of 16?"

Verlaine?Did they suffer any losses other than half a month in Europe?Zhongyuan Zhong also thought to himself, then shook his head.

Osamu Dazai continued to ask: "Then and 15-year-old Rimbaud?"

... Isn't that a personal grievance!What does it have to do with the mafia!Nakahara couldn't understand Osamu Dazai's judgment criteria, suspected that he was amusing himself, and had no intention of agreeing at all, and stared at Osamu Dazai vigilantly with his distrustful eyes.

Dazai Osamu laughed, he didn't know what he could see from Nakahara Chuya's reaction, in short, he seemed to understand, which made Nakahara Chuya very angry.If it weren't for asking Dazai Osamu for help, he couldn't bear it long ago, and even the floor and others overturned this dilapidated small apartment together, and he wouldn't have left him for a second.

"Okay, okay." Osamu Dazai made a gesture to indicate that he had understood the situation, he seemed a little more interested than before, but he was still lazy and unable to raise his spirits, "But I'm still very curious...the things that Chuya is hiding. Since you are willing to go all out to find me, but even so, what is it that you don’t want to tell me? I really want to know—"

Zhongyuan Zhong also had no expression on his face, rejection was written all over from the strands of his hair to the tips of his leather shoes.

"I don't want to say this and I don't want to say that. Zhong is also very self-willed. Is this an attitude of asking for help?" Osamu Dazai said, "Okay, then what else can you tell me?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also thought about it and felt that it seemed to be too much, but it is true that he didn't want to say it.

So in the end, he had no choice but to speak slowly: "...Because I trust you?"

Osamu Dazai was stunned for a moment, and quickly raised his eyelids, just in time to see him touching the tip of his nose awkwardly and embarrassingly, pursing his lips as if he had said something shameful.

After being silent for a while, Osamu Dazai suddenly lowered the corner of his eyes, as if he had discovered something interesting.

"I understand." Osamu Dazai stretched his waist, and Shi Shiran got up to change his clothes, "I guess the sentence you asked me to follow you should mean 'hide your identity and follow you', so there should be something in it. A suit that fits my size? The old me has long been thrown away. And the identity I want to play—tell me the details later on the way.”

Zhong Yuanzhong also sat on the sofa in a daze and didn't recover.Seeing that Osamu Dazai just agreed without any unreasonable actions... He was very uncomfortable. He had already done "How to Firmly Resist Osamu Dazai and One Thousand Ways to Pursue Your Secret" and "A Thousand Excessive Ways of How to Reject Osamu Dazai" Prepared for the required in-depth study.

Could it be because of that trust?No way... Is he as sincere as he said?

As soon as he thought of this, Osamu Dazai poked his head out from the room. He had already taken off his home clothes to reveal the snow-white bandages on his upper body. He reminded with a smile, "It's for the sake of 'conditions'. I owe it first. I'll think about it later."

...that's right.Zhongyuan Zhong also picked up the Coke while thinking, and was about to finish the rest.

"What's going on, that expression. A look of suspicion." Osamu Dazai put on his shirt and came out of the room, "Chuya seems to be very sorry that I didn't find out what you were hiding. Now you have to confess It’s okay if you do.”

He agreed to all the answers, and Zhongyuan Zhong also immediately became confident, and gave him a middle finger confidently while drinking Coke.

"Ah...how about this? On the way there, you can also confess a little secret to me. If I am happy, I will try my best to solve the matter, and if I am unhappy, I will be lazy?" Osamu Dazai searched for dark socks. , and said casually while searching, "As for the content of the confession... I'll think about it, and just pick the ones I'm interested in and talk about it."

"for example……"

Originally, he just said this casually, but he suddenly flashed a question that flashed past. It was a bit of an inexplicable idea, and he didn't know how he thought of it... But in combination with what he said just now, the effect of the question may be It will be very interesting: "For example, the office romance that can be seen everywhere on the Internet now, has Zhong also considered it...Have you ever considered it? Falling in love with a superior?"

Nakahara Chuya: "?"

Thanks to last week's goal, Nakahara was already allergic to the word "office love" before he was allergic to flowers, so he didn't notice the word "once" at all, and just spit out a mouthful of Coke.

TBC.

"Two about" refers to "not about the interests of the mafia" and "not about Dazai Osamu's own life" (of course it is privately set (??
