It's great, the whole world has become more stable.
I slowly opened my eyes and instinctively grasped the hand of the person in front of me.
"It hurts!" the man yelled.
I was suddenly awakened by the familiar voice, and my eyes widened when I realized it was Miyuki.
I opened my mouth, but my voice was too hoarse.
"Where am I?" I struggled to open my mouth.
"Of course it's a bookstore," Miyuki bared her teeth, "I found you lying here when I came to the store this morning."
I shook my head and stared at the girl's fiery brows for a long time before I finally dared to relax and believe that I had finally returned to the real world.
"Excuse me, please give me a hand." I stretched out a hand, and the pocket watch hung on it, swaying slightly in the air, shining with golden light.
The girl's strength was not too strong, but fortunately I also recovered some strength, and successfully got rid of the cold ground. With Miyuki's support, I walked into the bookstore.
Maybe she saw that I was a little tired, so she chose a sofa seat in the corner for me. After seeing me sit down, she turned around and went to the kitchen to bring me a glass of warm milk.
"Thanks." I raised my hand and took the cup with blue flowers on a white background.
Miyuki smiled, stood on tiptoes and pulled a novel from the bookshelf behind me. The book was placed very high, and her snow-white skirt brushed my forearm several times, splashing the fragrance like water.
"Want to see something?" she asked.
"No," I turned my head and glanced out the window, the tips of my ears feeling slightly hot, "I will go back to rest later. As you know, I don't know how to read."
After hearing what I said, she said nothing more and just sat beside me quietly.
"Tell me what else you want to drink."
After saying this, she quickly became immersed in the book.
The morning light outside the window rose. I withdrew my gaze, closed my eyes, and stared at the colorful streams of light in the darkness.
Recalling what happened a few days ago, I was really surprised.
Because of Chao Wu's hurry and the interaction between him and Tagore's superpowers, they reached a singularity. As soon as Asagiri and I came to consciousness, we were torn in half by that incomplete worldview.
As of now, half of the two halves are the personalities set by Asagiri himself, and the other half are the people themselves.
And my body ended up in a wilderness.
I remember that at that time, the wilderness was covered with layers of white fog, and the sunset zigzag staggered past, allowing me to clearly see the alley not far away.
I could barely see clearly that it was raining on the alley, and it looked like a giant rain dragon coiled above its head, so gloomy that it made people breathless.
I looked away in confusion. Not far from the alley was a huge tower that pierced the sky, towering and glowing with brilliant golden light.
However, just when I was about to get up and go, I saw a person standing at the foot of the slope blankly, also looking at this wonderful scene.
At this time, most of the fog on the wilderness had dissipated, and I recognized the person who came at a glance—Kafka Asagiri—without having to distinguish it carefully.
Perhaps the resentment collapsed at that moment. I almost ran with all my strength and kicked him on the lower back.
I originally thought that Chaogiri would be like the previous confrontations, with a winning smile, cleverly avoiding the child's playful attacks, and then turning around to laugh.
But he didn't.
He rolled down the not-so-steep hillside like a stuffed doll that had been broken at the waist.
By the time I found him, he was out of breath.
He half-opened his eyes and curled up on the green grass, like a child who had never made a mistake.
He had been with another false soul for too long, and had been deprived of the chance to live the moment he entered this world.
What I just did was break the illusion of beauty.
But I didn't know this at the time and thought it was another successful trick on me.
So, with a sullen look on my face, I walked into the sea of fog with a sullen face, getting infinitely close to that tall tower.
After that, I also saw countless black shadows rushing towards the tower from another perspective. I also saw Kirihara's confused figure, which disappeared in an instant.
When did you truly understand that Asagiri and I were torn in half?
I think it was the moment I kicked in the tower door.
In the twisted world, I saw Asagiri's fear and Kirihara's confusion.
In fact, for a moment, out of some emotions, I also wanted to get rid of Kirihara. But the moment he asked "Who are you?" I regretted it.
I feel like he is a child waiting for me, with loose black hair, as well-behaved and alert as a little animal.
So I reached out and we became me again.
It may be that Kirihara's return disrupted the rules of this world, and it began to attack all conscious creatures in the world.
And in such a panic, the other Chao Wu's consciousness dissipated, leaving no bones.
I also returned to my original world.
"Asleep?" Miyuki spread the book on her lap and put her fair face close to my right ear.
I was so startled when I opened my eyes that I almost dropped my pocket watch to the ground.
"I'm thinking about something," I said with my eyebrows raised, and I glanced at my watch nonchalantly, "It's almost time for me to leave."
"The mission went well~" Miyukiyu sat back in her seat and waved to me.
I waved my hand and followed the familiar road back to the detective agency.
I glanced at the watch again, but this time it wasn't the dial that caught my eye, but my fingers.
The ring that Mori Ogai used to spy on me was missing somewhere.
I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I sighed deeply. Anyway, now I have one less person to monitor.
To this day, my body is still exhausted.
So when I discovered that the keys to the detective agency were missing, I was even more exhausted.
I half-leaned on the door, half-knocking on the door.
Then the door opened, and before I had time to retract my strength, I was immediately hugged into Kunikida's arms.
I raised my head and met his surprised eyes. I, a tall and dignified man, almost burst into tears at the scene.
Kunikida’s mother! Finally see you again!
Kunikida stared at my face and frowned. He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Dazai who rushed out.
"Ah ho~~~Long time no see, Kirihara-kun~~~" He shouted exaggeratedly, and pulled me out of Kunikida's arms, and held me in his arms and spun me around several times.
I was still exhausted from running around on missions. After being spun around a few times by Dazai, I had no choice but to surrender directly: "Mr. Dazai, put me down! Please!"
Dazai then reluctantly threw me on the sofa, intentionally or unintentionally blocking Kunikida's direct line of sight, and winked at me crazily.
Only then did I realize that something was wrong. I turned around to recall what had just happened, and realized that Dazai had just called me Kirihara, not Si Ye.
"Now that the mafia's gatherings are held inside the detective agency, will the headquarters be moved here next time?" Kunikida approached Dazai and me and asked.
"Hey, Kunikida-kun, don't be angry~ I just wanted to meet the lovely Kirihara, but I couldn't find a suitable place~ Don't be angry, don't be angry..." Dazai said as he picked up my hand. Hand, he looked back with a smile.
And I didn't dare to say anything at the moment. I could only follow Dazai and gradually move away from the detective agency before I had a chance to take a sip of water.
