I frowned, watching the white feathers flying in front of me, and clenched my fists involuntarily.
I don't know why I felt a sudden panic in my heart, but it was definitely not because of the scene in front of me.
So, I turned around and ran back to the detective agency, even though it was already past seven o'clock and it was time to get off work.
…
After worrying all the way, I finally ran to the detective agency, opened the door violently, and looked around anxiously. Later, I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I discovered that everything in the detective agency was fine and there was nothing unusual.
"Good evening, Si Ye-kun~ I'm worried about how to contact you." Osamu Dazai suddenly spoke up next to the sofa, making me jump.
However, just as I was about to say hello, I found Osamu Dazai sitting on a man. I saw him strangling the man's neck with one hand, and shaking his other hand to greet me.
I observed the man carefully again, and suddenly I felt that his face and attire were so familiar.
"Who is this person?" I looked at Dazai Osamu with questioning eyes.
"The one who attacked the detective agency that day," Osamu Dazai said, looking at the man under his butt. "It seems that this gentleman was planning to come here to find something, but he just happened to be caught by me."
"no."
"Can't you even ask Mr. Dazai?" I was a little surprised. After all, I admire Dazai's ability to interrogate people.
"Ah, no, no, I'm just lazy~" Dazai Osamu waved his hand, still smiling in an annoying manner.
"Then what did Mr. Dazai ask me to do?" After hearing this, I crossed my arms and sounded helpless.
"Ah, just turn this man's time back about twenty years." Dazai Osamu said lightly.
After hearing this, I finally understood. Precisely because it is easier to talk to children, and children themselves are easy to control, Dazai Osamu would be "lazy" and let me deal with it first.
But I always feel that my idea is to excuse Osamu Dazai!
Forget it, let’s do things first! With this thought in mind, I walked forward and sat down on the man like Dazai Osamu had done before.
And because he was worried that his superpower would affect me, Osamu Dazai stood up and stood not far away, guarding against the man suddenly rising up and running away.
But it was obvious that both of our worries were unnecessary. The man was obviously tortured and exhausted: he didn't try to break free at all, but remained motionless and at my mercy.
"Superpower - flowing time!" I whispered after placing the pocket watch on his skin.
Not long after I activated my superpower, I saw the man in front of me shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a small ball wrapped in clothes.
At this point, the word "man" is no longer accurate to describe him. Because, he has now gone back in time and become an eight or nine-year-old child.
I slowly stood up and glanced at Dazai Osamu from the corner of my eye to observe his next movements.
I found that Osamu Dazai was just looking at the small ball in front of him squirming in his clothes with a cold look, and had no intention of stepping forward to help.
Seeing my senior like this, I naturally didn't dare to make any big moves.
After a while, probably sensing the silence of the outside world, the lumps of flesh inside the clothes began to crawl out. From the furry head to the bare little feet.
After his face was fully revealed in front of Dazai Osamu and me, I found that he still maintained the same weird smile as that day.
It's just that the smile at that time was full of pride, and today's smile reveals some traces of weakness and struggle.
"It seems that only the body has shrunk," Dazai Osamu sighed helplessly, "but it doesn't matter."
However, what Dazai Osamu said next made me feel ashamed. I saw him squatting in front of the boy, holding up the snacks newly bought by Edogawa Ranpo, and said with a sly smile:
"Come, tell uncle, what is your name and who sent you here? Tell uncle, this bag of candy is yours~"
"Do you think I will really agree like a child?" The corner of the boy's mouth twitched as hard as mine.
"Hey~ That's it, then I have to give it to Siye-kun!" Dazai Osamu sighed, and without my consent, he stuffed a lollipop into my mouth.
"Uh-huh!" I was startled and made a few unclear sounds.
"Si Ye-kun, is it delicious?" Dazai looked at me with a half-hearted smile.
"Good... delicious!" I sighed sadly in my heart, and then pretended to be extremely happy.
"It's so delicious, it's a pity that someone can't eat it~" Osamu Dazai reminded the boy with his peripheral vision.
How despicable, I complained to myself.
But to be honest, Dazai Osamu's move is as despicable as it is despicable, and it does work well.
Not long after I was pretending to hold the lollipop in my mouth, the boy's saliva was about to come down.
"What's your name?" Seeing this, I asked again.
"Han Fei, Han Fei, can you do it?" Han Fei shouted, tears flowing from his mouth and turning into something called saliva.
It's actually Han Fei...
I was stunned, and I grabbed another great god. Really, scared, scared!
"Chinese?" Dazai asked.
"The name sounds like it." I said vaguely.
But since it was Han Fei, I thought to myself, then the superpower used to attack me that day wouldn't be called "He's Bi", right?
After all, the rocks that attacked me that day were all made of jade. If it weren't for supernatural powers, who would have so much money to use jade as a weapon?
France Scott Key Fitzgerald of the combination probably couldn't do this.
"Who sent you? Tell uncle." Dazai Osamu also asked, and added "uncle" in an awkward tone.
Han Fei fell silent and kept glancing at the candy in Dazai Osamu's hand.
Dazai Osamu smiled and handed Han Fei a lollipop.
After Han Fei took the lollipop, he opened the package and sucked it with satisfaction.
It seems that the body has become smaller and the mind has not grown up, I thought.
"Who sent you?" Seeing that the time was almost up, Osamu Dazai asked again.
When Han Fei heard this, his face was obviously embarrassed and hesitant. But after thinking for a moment, I answered Osamu Dazai’s question under my earnest gaze: “Homing pigeon.”
"Is this the novel company?" I asked.
"Please," Han Fei rolled his eyes, "you don't think Homing Pigeon is really a novel company, do you?"
"Then what does it do?"
"..."
However, just when I wanted to ask further, Han Fei suddenly became silent and his expression turned ugly.
Seeing his reaction like this, Dazai Osamu and I both understood, and we couldn't find anything further to ask. So, we simply stopped asking.
But his reaction firmly confirmed what Dazai Osamu and I thought: there must be a big secret in the carrier pigeon.
"Si Yejun."
"Um?"
"Let Han Fei stay at your place before you reply to him." Osamu Dazai said with a smile and clasped his hands.
"What?"
"why!"
Han Fei and I shouted in surprise at almost the same moment.
"Because my room only temporarily accommodates beautiful ladies, Si Yejun, if you work hard, please treat it as if it is for the sake of seniors."
"But, Mr. Dazai, Dazai..."
"Ah, I'm so sleepy! I'm going to bed. Good night, Mr. Si Ye!"
Dazai interrupted me and walked out of the door very quickly, leaving Han Fei and I looking at each other in embarrassment.
