"I'm sorry, I was too strong!" Atsushi Nakajima saw me lying on the ground, trying to get up several times without success, so he stretched out his hand to try to help me up.
"Don't help him." Osamu Dazai stopped him.
At this time, he seemed to be a different person, with a cold and serious expression. Suddenly, I thought he was Dazai, a former mafia cadre.
When I saw this, I realized that no one would help me.
I gritted my teeth and stood up with all my strength. When I got up, I could even hear the squeaking sound of bones rubbing together.
"Continue." Osamu Dazai said, his voice calm and low.
Atsushi Nakajima was hesitant, but after all, it was Osamu Dazai’s order, so he rushed away from me.
This time I was well prepared and ran to the side, barely dodging Nakajima Atsushi's attack.
Atsushi Nakajima didn't seem to want to chase me. He rushed to the tree and took off a large piece of bark.
Taking advantage of this free break, I wrapped the pocket watch around my forearm, with the dial facing the same direction as the palm of my hand.
Because I had witnessed it withstand the attack of Ryunosuke Akutagawa before, I had high hopes this time that it could alleviate some of the pressure from Atsushi Nakajima.
Nakajima Atsushi rushed towards me again, and I jumped out of the way.
After going back and forth a few times, I suddenly felt a little monotonous. Nakajima Atsushi did not dare to attack me with force, and I did not have the strength to attack Nakajima Atsushi on his own initiative.
boom--
Finally, in an infinitely repeated round, a loud gunshot rang out.
I looked at Osamu Dazai in disbelief, and it was actually him who raised his gun to attack me.
It is always puzzling to talk about the body's instinctive reaction when a person is in crisis.
I didn't run away, trying to avoid the bullet. Instead, he raised the hand wrapped around the pocket watch and pointed his palm in the direction of the bullet.
On the other hand, after hitting my pocket watch, the bullet went in the opposite direction and retreated a certain distance.
I also took advantage of this period of time to regain control of my body despite my shock. I took a quick step and rushed to the side, letting the bullets rush to the ground and splash a layer of soil.
Bang bang bang——
Just when I thought everything was over, Osamu Dazai fired another round of bullets.
Although I still didn't expect this operation, I finally had an emergency plan. I raised my hand wrapped around my pocket watch to resist the bullets coming from not far away.
This time, as the number of bullets increased, a small blue barrier grew with my pocket watch as the center.
Seeing this, I was shocked. It turned out that I was the one who resisted the black beast of Akutagawa Ryunosuke!
In fact, if I observe carefully, I will find that the bullet is constantly traveling back and forth next to the blue screen, following the previous trajectory.
It's just that the range of movement is too small and I can't see it.
Please, move the bullet back a little more so I can break free.
I thought so.
As my thoughts became more and more intense, I was surprised to find that the bullet gradually went back.
Go back a little further!
Suddenly, the bullet was shot back to Dazai Osamu with lightning speed.
"Mr. Dazai!" Atsushi Nakajima and I shouted at the same time.
But who would have thought that Osamu Dazai didn't want to hide, but he still couldn't react. He actually stood there motionless.
In the end, the bullet actually returned into the barrel of the gun backwards, without harming Dazai Osamu at all.
"I understand..." Osamu Dazai whispered.
After a moment, he shot Atsushi Nakajima hard on the collarbone. Immediately, blood started to flow from Nakajima Atsushi's body.
"Ah!" Atsushi Nakajima was in pain and knelt on the ground, covering his wound.
"Watanabe Tsubasa," Dazai Osamu shouted, "use your special ability to make Nakajima Atsushi's gunshot wound disappear."
I was stunned at first, looking at Atsushi Nakajima's trembling body, my head was full of noises buzzing.
Then, I finally pulled myself out of the shock and walked closer to Atsushi Nakajima step by step.
Standing next to him, I put the pocket watch on the wound on his collarbone with the attitude of giving it a try. Suddenly, a thin blue light burst out from the surface of the pocket watch.
Not long after, Atsushi Nakajima stopped moaning and shaking in pain.
I separated the pocket watch from Nakajima Atsushi and found that not only his wounds had healed, but even the torn clothes had disappeared.
Nakajima Atsushi's whole body was intact as before.
"Wow!" Atsushi Nakajima exclaimed in surprise.
I didn't say anything, but I was also so surprised that I couldn't speak.
"Changing the time of an object through contact is probably your ability, Si Yejun."
Osamu Dazai stepped forward, put the gun back on his waist, and said.
"Yes." I replied dryly, looking at Osamu Dazai with a more complicated look.
I remember watching the anime at the time, and I was very shocked when I saw Dazai Osamu shooting Akutagawa Ryunosuke in order to train him.
I thought that Osamu Dazai spent two years in the underground to clear his name, but after arriving at the detective agency, he was still able to shoot me and Atsushi Nakajima with guns.
Although I knew he was trying to train me, I still felt weird inside.
"Si Ye-kun," Osamu Dazai said after sighing as if he had read my mind, "If you die by my gun today, will you blame me?"
I didn't say anything. After all, I still don't know how to reply to Osamu Dazai.
"You know, if you are lucky enough to survive my gun today, you will die under someone else's gun tomorrow. I don't want anyone in the detective agency to be seriously injured or even die. Likewise, I don't want anyone in the detective agency to be in vain. Raise a piece of trash.”
Dazai Osamu continued, his tone was heavy, but his voice was dull and penetrated my heart.
finally, I understand.
I raised my head, my eyes clear. I looked directly into Osamu Dazai's brown eyes filled with vicissitudes of life and smiled.
Osamu Dazai also returned a short smile, turned around, and the belt of his windbreaker touched my face.
"You two go back and rest. Training will continue tomorrow." After saying that, Dazai Osamu walked out of my sight without looking back.
"Okay, Dazai-sensei." I replied, my voice very low.
"Si Ye, are your injuries okay?" Atsushi Nakajima asked with concern.
"It's okay, I'll just go back and bandage it myself."
Atsushi Nakajima is right. At this moment, my body is covered with scars, large and small, some deep and some shallow.
But it would be a bit of a loss if he relied on such force to find Yosano Akiko without risking his life.
There should be a lot of bandages at Dazai Osamu's place. I'll just ask him for some directly later.
"Adun." I called tentatively.
"What's wrong?" Atsushi Nakajima asked.
Apparently, he wasn't annoyed by my calling his name in a normal way.
"Let's go eat omelette rice together!" I said with a smile, and there must be stars and sea in my eyes.
"Okay, I've wanted to eat it for a long time!" Atsushi Nakajima clenched his fists and said excitedly. The starlight overflowing from his amber pupils intersected with the river of my heart.
Maybe, in Wenye, I can still make one or two friends.
I smiled and walked out of the forest with Nakajima Atsushi.
At some point, the boy began to change. His timeline is also quietly intertwined with others.
"The omelette rice is so delicious." The boy's satisfied smile overflowed and lingered for a long time.
