Chapter 194 Another World
Chapter 194 Another World
"Draco is always so soft-hearted." After everyone experienced astonishment, ecstasy, hesitation, and gratitude, they couldn't help but accept Draco's kindness.
After they calmed down, they sat together and curiously discussed the functions of the other cards.
At this moment, Dazai Osamu quietly slipped over to Harry, who was watching all this quietly, and whispered to him, "I never thought Draco would be so generous."
Harry smiled slightly and responded, "Well, Draco is always like that."
There was an indescribable tenderness in his eyes, like the spring breeze in May gently blowing across his face, or as if melted ice and snow were flowing past.
For the first time, Dazai Osamu saw the expression on Harry's face so clearly. It was a calm and profound expression, as if hiding endless secrets.
At this moment, a surge of enlightenment surged in his heart, and he finally began to face the boy whom he had always ignored.
Before this, Harry had hardly left any deep impression on Dazai.
He always sat there quietly, unnoticed, and even made people subconsciously ignore his existence. Even his appearance was vague and difficult to recall.
This situation puzzled Dazai Osamu. With his keen insight and memory, this situation was unusual.
If it were Nakajima Atsushi, he might have thought this was normal, but Dazai Osamu was different. Even if he had met someone a long time ago, as long as he had seen them once, he would remember that face.
In fact, Dazai Osamu's No Longer Human is not completely ineffective. It can indeed eliminate other people's supernatural powers, but the premise is that everyone has the same ability system.
When facing a powerful opponent who is not in the same system, No Longer Human can only produce a momentary effect.
But even so, this moment was enough for Dazai Osamu to glimpse some key information.
Through his brief contact with Harry, he already had a general understanding of Harry.
He realized that there was more to Harry than meets the eye, and that he and Draco still held many unknown mysteries and potential powers.
"We're childhood sweethearts~ I'm so envious~" Dazai Osamu drew out his voice, his eyes full of teasing and mockery.
"Yeah, maybe twice as long as the four years Mr. Dazai and Mr. Nakahara took?" Harry raised an eyebrow and responded without hesitation. He had no good temper towards anyone other than Draco, except for his elders, of course.
It can be said that his venomous tongue and ability to poke people's hearts come from his elders - his and Draco's godfather, Severus Snape.
When Dazai Osamu heard this, he felt a surge of anger in his heart. This brat! Why is he talking so unpleasant?
"Mr. Dazai, that's not what you actually want to talk to me about, right?" Harry looked at Dazai, a sly look in his eyes. He seemed to have predicted Dazai's next move and successfully shut him up.
Dazai Osamu snorted coldly, a look of dissatisfaction on his face, but he did not continue to ask questions.
For some reason, he dropped some of his pretense and showed his true emotions.
"You should be going to another place, right? Let me guess, a parallel world? Our parallel world." Although his tone was questioning, he was very sure in his heart.
Books, mice, the future... these are not the keys to the fusion of the worlds. The real key lies in the small half of the core that is missing.
Draco once said that the world consciousness would recycle books, which means that there is some kind of close connection between books and the world consciousness.
While watching the anime, he paid special attention to the opening and ending credits, curious about who the person was who jumped off the mafia at the port.
But the answer is obvious - that person can never be him.
He knew very well that he was always firmly held by an invisible string, like a shaky kite.
Books have a magical power that can drive people crazy.
He guessed that the encounter between his No Longer Human and the book would inevitably trigger the outbreak of a singularity. And how would this singularity manifest itself?
The answer was already apparent through the occasional prying he felt and the deep-seated disgust he felt for his own kind.
Myself in another world.
In other words, I became the leader of the port mafia.
Harry and Draco must know something, but I don’t know if it was not broadcast in the anime or what, so this part was omitted.
Becoming the leader of the port mafia... Dazai Osamu sneered.
He knew himself and had recalled that day more than once. If another Dazai Osamu could see what happened in the parallel world, he would definitely kick Mr. Mori out and take his place before the story happened.
Maybe he would even send Odasaku to the Armed Detective Agency in the name of protection.
Then secretly spy on other people's happiness.
Should Akutagawa be treated the same way and arrange for Odasaku to take him back? Then the people he would leave behind would be Gin, Atsushi, and Chuuya.
Eh~ How disgusting, the organization's slaves and stuff...
However, if that were the case, then the me in that world might not feel as lonely as I do now.
After all, with power and status, some people will naturally gather around you.
But is this kind of life really suitable for me?
Dazai Osamu shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Perhaps, everyone has his or her own destiny and choices.
And he has made his decision.
Dazai Osamu's eyes were dark and gloomy. It was really... so disgusting that he almost vomited...
It seems his hairline in the other world is also in danger~
Harry finally looked this ridiculously intelligent black slime in the eye.
Of course he noticed that the confusion device was ineffective for a moment, but it was really amazing that Dazai could see so many things in that instant.
He didn't deny that it was unwise to be secretive around people who were smarter than you.
"Yes. After the fusion begins, we will go to another parallel world of yours to recover the remaining core." Harry suddenly became curious about what Dazai Osamu thought of his counterpart.
"We?" Dazai Osamu noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Harry's choice of words.
"Yes, we." Harry looked at Dazai Osamu suggestively.
A hint of doubt flashed across Dazai Osamu's eyes, but he quickly understood. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile: "I see. I understand. So, sir, what do you want me to do?"
Harry smiled, with a mysterious glint in his eyes: "Come with me, Dazai Osamu. Let's witness the end of all this together."
Dazai Osamu raised his eyebrows, as if thinking about something.
But as expected...
"Eh~ I don't want to. It's so disgusting. I want to vomit when I think of the cockroaches in the dark corners~" Dazai Osamu put on a cute girlish look, twisting his body slightly, with a disgusted expression on his face.
"You're scolding yourself too, Dazai." Edogawa Ranpo said vaguely while tasting the unique English pastries.
He pushed Dazai Osamu aside without any hesitation and sat down next to Harry. Dazai Osamu shrugged nonchalantly, put his hands on his knees, and smiled at Edogawa Ranpo and Harry.
After all the snacks were finished, Edogawa Ranpo said firmly, "Ranpo-sama wants to go!"
That's just how Dazai is, always acting a little awkward. But that's okay, let Ranpo-sama handle this.
The other Ranpo-sama is so smart that he will definitely find a way to solve the problem.
Edogawa Ranpo didn't even need to eavesdrop on their conversation. Just by observing Dazai Osamu's expression and movements, he could come to the same conclusion as Dazai Osamu.
He couldn't help but sigh that he had paid too much for the Armed Detective Agency, so... he decided to reward himself with a delicious snack!
"Then it's settled." Edogawa Ranpo clapped his hands and stood up from his seat. "Dazai, you'll come with us then."
Dazai Osamu still maintained a smiling expression, but inside he had already begun to scream frantically: No! He didn't want to face the other self at all! But he knew that his protest would be of no use.
Edogawa Ranpo completely ignored Dazai Osamu's obvious reluctance. He just glanced at him and then shifted his attention to others.
"Well, come on, Lord Ranpo is too good at ordering people around~" Dazai Osamu spread his hands helplessly, indicating that he accepted the arrangement.
"I'll go talk to the president!" Ranpo suddenly stood up excitedly, ran to Fukuzawa Yukichi like a little rabbit, and pulled him into the president's office.
He is so sensible and obedient, the president will definitely reward him!
At the same time, Draco had left the crowd and quietly sat down on the other side of Harry. Harry looked at him in surprise, but said nothing.
"Are you bullying Harry, Mr. Dazai?" His voice was just like him, gentle and non-aggressive. His aristocratic tone didn't make him seem pretentious, but rather complemented him perfectly.
Draco held Harry's hand, and Harry took the opportunity to move closer to Draco.
He and Draco had obviously spent much less time together during this period.
Harry is not a very quiet person. Whether it is a disguise or a natural tendency, he always appears cheerful and gentle in front of others.
But he didn't feel uncomfortable these past two days, because his observations made him better understand the world's distorted worldview and see that the corruption and darkness of the upper class were even worse than in anime.
Disgusting, just like the rotten oranges in Gojo Satoru's world.
He watched and learned. He tried to keep up with Draco, not wanting to be left behind.
His friends must have had the same idea, and it was true that something happened, but they also planned to use this time to work hard to improve themselves.
"How could that be? Draco doubts me so much, it makes me so sad~" Dazai Osamu pretended to cry a few times.
"Okay, Mr. Dazai, stop testing me. If you have any questions, why don't you just ask directly? We will answer them." Draco felt that he had shown his utmost sincerity.
But that's just how Mr. Dazai is.
Perhaps for smart people, only what they have tested themselves is true and credible.
Dazai Osamu froze slightly. He... was just used to it...
But he quickly regained his playful smile. "Well, I'm actually curious about something. What are the other two worlds that are merging with ours like?"
Just after Edogawa Ranpo pulled Fukuzawa Yukichi away, everyone's attention subconsciously focused on them.
Dazai Osamu didn't lower his voice, so everyone could hear it.
Even Kunikida Doppo was curious about this question. He said that he always felt like he had forgotten something.
I was so shocked by the future that I had revealed that I had forgotten to ask.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at Dazai Osamu. He didn't expect that this bandage-wasting device could ask some useful questions.
"The other two worlds..." Draco thought with his chin in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.
When asked this question, he realized that he had never seriously considered how to describe those two worlds to others.
After all, both worlds are completely different from the magical world he is familiar with.
"Hmm..." Draco hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke, "A technologically advanced supernatural world with seven chuunibaku kings, and an ordinary detective world where an elementary school detective dies wherever he goes."
After saying this, Draco secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he had done his best to summarize the characteristics of the two worlds.
As expected of him!
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with bewilderment. They simply couldn't imagine what such a world would be like. Seven kings...were they like the Cang King? Everyone fell into deep thought.
There is also an elementary school detective. Has the police become so lame?
Is it really not a supernatural power to kill people wherever they go? They knew there was a homicide detective named Yukito Ayatsuji.
If that were the case, this child would definitely be noticed by the Special Ability Division after the world merged, and then imprisoned or killed...
"That all sounds very interesting." Dazai Osamu laughed and said casually, "I wonder if I can find a young lady there who is willing to die with me for love."
Upon hearing this, two pairs of eyes, filled with disapproval, contempt, and condemnation, turned to Dazai Osamu. They were Yosano Akiko and Tanizaki Naomi.
Both of them looked at Dazai Osamu as if he were a scumbag.
Well, of course Dazai Osamu felt it. He broke out in a cold sweat and suddenly remembered the message he saw when he hacked into their group.
He was just talking nonsense, but he really had no other intentions. Besides, he was just talking nonsense before and never played with other people's feelings.
"I'm more curious about the world with seven kings," Nakajima Atsushi interrupted. "That seems like it would be very interesting."
"A world of superpowers..." Kunikida Doppo pondered, "I wonder how powerful the superpowers in that world are."
"I really want to go and see it." Tanizaki Junichiro said with a longing look on his face.
"Maybe." Draco said with a smile, as if he had already seen a possible scene in the future.
