Hei Dun was alone, standing blankly in the middle of the crowd.
The decorative white hair on his neck was fluttered by the evening breeze, breaking the scattered lights.
All white.
I just felt like I was slowing down my drinking of milk, and I stared at this boy who shouldn't be there with my eyes wide open.
"Madam," I turned my head and tapped the kind-looking lady next to me, "What year, month and day is it now?"
The lady was stunned for a moment, and then she answered with a suppressed smile.
After hearing this normal answer, I felt even more unsure.
Since the "now" I am in is normal, is there something wrong with the "book"?
If that's what I suspected, then something's really going wrong.
We can't discuss this with Dazai, I thought to myself.
Talking to him was equivalent to admitting the fact that I had not lost my memory in disguise. What's more, my current strength is not enough. The more I know, the more dangerous it will be.
This is really not good...
After thinking about it, I still went out to have a chat with him after swallowing the last bite of the cake.
The cake was a bit greasy and I was forced to clear my throat. This store doesn't do well, it's too sweet, I won't come here next time.
"Sir," I slowed down my steps, held back my breath, and said suddenly from behind Heidun, "Hello."
He was startled, his claws flashed away, and he turned his head to pretend to be calm.
His eyes were very sharp, but he was indifferent. On the surface, he was staring at me quietly, but if I tasted it carefully, I couldn't feel this gaze.
It's him!
The sight I felt just now was from the gloomy boy in front of me!
Since he has been targeting me for a long time, there is no doubt that our encounter has been planned for a long time.
"That gentleman asked me to come to you." He said quietly, with a calm expression, but his tone was downward at the end.
"That gentleman," I asked, "who is he?"
"He," Hei Dun's face instantly added pain, "he is no longer here."
"My condolences," my heart skipped a beat, trying to maintain the indifference on my face, "Do you know who I am?"
Hei Dun nodded.
"You are an undercover agent of the detective agency, current Mafia cadre, Mr. Kirihara, Sawa Kirihara."
"Ha," I sneered to cover up my inner fear, "come with me."
Hei Dun nodded, bent his neck and buried his head deeper into his collar, staring at me with deep tiger-like pupils.
It must be an illusion, otherwise why would I feel so cold on my back?
…
"Sit down." I said.
Hei Dun nodded, slightly uneasy.
I stared at this melancholy young man for a moment, wondering what kind of persona "that gentleman" had created for me in his heart.
"What do you want to eat?" I asked, looking at him as if he still hadn't eaten for a long time.
"I'm not hungry." He shook his head, and the hand he put on the table was shaking unconsciously.
I shrugged and ignored his harsh words.
I turned around and went to the kitchen, lit the fire and poured oil, and in a short time I had two poached eggs that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
After hesitating for a moment, I still felt that it was too much to handle, so I made a small cup of coffee for him and picked out ten sugar cubes.
Oh, I almost forgot my milk.
In the rush, the milk spilled on the table, but I had no time to care.
Okay, let’s eat together! After all, I didn't expect such a troublesome guest to come suddenly, and I didn't prepare anything.
Fortunately, for Hei Dun, who was born in an orphanage, having food to eat is already pretty good.
I placed the fried eggs and drinking water in front of us and smiled weakly at him: "It's time to start."
Hei Dun stared at my face for a long time before he could pick up his chopsticks.
I thought he was putting pressure on me at the time, but later I learned that it was actually because he was too nervous and shy and didn’t know what to say.
Once he pushed aside the thick hair on his neck, the dark leather collar was exposed. I pretended not to see it, lowered my head and fought persistently with the fried egg.
Ding--
Ding--
It was the sound of sugar cubes hitting the bottom of the cup.
"Isn't it too sweet?" I asked, enjoying the aroma of milk.
"Like when I was in the orphanage, this kind of thing was considered a luxury item, so I wouldn't mind adding any amount of it." Like a dormant beast, Heidun took a sip of the overly sweet coffee.
I couldn't help but hold my pocket watch tightly, always resisting him as if it would break into pieces in the next second.
"So why are you here? Where are you going?" I swallowed the omelette hastily.
"I'm coming to find you..."
"I can see it."
"Come to you and ask him to come back."
"Hiccup - uh, wait, wait, wait!" I choked with fright and shook my head vigorously.
"You said it was 'he' who asked you to come to me, but 'he' is no longer here, right?" I raised my eyebrows to confirm.
"Yes." Hei Dun nodded.
"So, don't you think this is haunted?" I slapped my head and my eyes were probably bigger than a sugar cube.
"You...be more steady." Hei Dun finished eating his midnight snack and covered his mouth with his thick fur.
I glanced out the window depressedly, only to realize that it was already midnight.
Si...then wasn't it good that I just poured him coffee?
Forget it, never mind it. Anyway, I finished drinking it, and you still cheated me with so much sugar.
I took another sip of milk.
"I can't tell you the specific situation." He shook his head.
"If you tell me, your world will cease to exist, right?"
"How do you know?!" Hei Dun's eyes widened.
"I know everything." I pursed my lips and smiled, thinking that I was being mysterious.
But looking at Heidun's expression, he didn't seem to think I was being mysterious, but he was so shocked that he forgot to close his mouth.
"Tell me, who asked you to come to me." I asked.
"But I remember I already said it." Heidun frowned, trying to defeat me with his sharp eyes.
"I know, but that's a lie. I want to hear the truth."
I smiled and stretched out my hand. Hei Dun's body also became stiff in an instant.
I reached behind his head and accidentally touched his neck with my wrist.
when--
The tiger's white claws were extremely fast, but even so, I blocked them with my pocket watch.
The pale blue light blocked the middle of us, like filling the dark night with a beam of starlight.
"Hmph," he withdrew his murderous intent, "you took out this pocket watch from behind me, it's like you were performing a magic trick."
"I'm just doing magic. If I fail, I'll die." I said with a smile.
"Who died?"
"I don't know. After all, what we just had was just an appetizer."
After finishing speaking, there was silence in the room.
"Okay," Hei Dun took a deep breath for a long time, "I will tell you everything, but at the same time, you can also help me."
"Okay." After a second, I nodded to the printer.
After all, with my current status as a double agent, it is very simple to find a way out.
