Chapter 24 The Personification of Books

Dazai Osamu did not follow Nakajima Atsushi back to the detective agency, but left Nakajima Atsushi and returned to his staff dormitory alone.

He had long been accustomed to Dazai Osamu sneaking around, and Nakajima Atsushi accepted it well. In addition, Dazai Osamu seemed to be taking the case very seriously today. Nakajima Atsushi thought that maybe he left early to do some serious work, and even didn't do it after he returned.

Report on Osamu Dazai.

However, Kunikida Doppo is not that easy to deceive. Even if Nakajima Atsushi didn't tell him, he immediately understood when he saw that it was Nakajima Atsushi who came back: "Where did that guy go to be lazy again?!"

"No, I think Mr. Dazai should be very serious today..." Nakajima Atsushi quickly stopped the furious Kunikida Doppo and told him not to go to the dormitory to arrest people.

Unfortunately, despite Nakajima Atsushi's hard and sincere persuasion, Kunikida Doppo still did not believe that Dazai Osamu was really working seriously.

However, this time it was Kunikida Doppo who misunderstood Dazai Osamu. He was really doing business now and did not commit suicide or flirt with a young lady to die for his love.

After returning to his dormitory, Osamu Dazai put Nanaya... This is strange to say, but in short, he spread the book on the table, took out a pen, and planned to write something on the blank page.

Of course Qiye would not allow this to happen.

Not to mention the fact that the book is actually his body and is the same as his senses. It is very uncomfortable when the pen is scratched back and forth on his body.

The body of the nursery rhyme is a picture book. He can turn the inner pages into blank pages and fill them with the content of the novel. This is the effect caused by the infinity stones he obtained in the superhero world.

In a universe where the Infinity Stones are not native, the functions that the Reality Stone can use are limited. Changing the inner pages in the eyes of others is already the limit, and this is only the appearance.

If Osamu Dazai really finds out that the content written on the blank page has not become reality, then won’t he reveal his secret?!

So Nanaya closed the book page without hesitation with a "snap" sound, and clamped Osamu Dazai's hand.

Osamu Dazai shook his hand, and Qiye was also shaken.

"Um... I don't know what to call you, but can you let me go?" Osamu Dazai asked in a cheerful voice. At first glance, he seemed to be a good man without any scheming. "I didn't want to do anything. Isn't this right?"

It’s so comfortable.”

Although Qiuye didn't believe Dazai Osamu's lies, he cooperated and let go, dropped it on the table, and continued to pretend that he was a book without the ability to think.

However, after experiencing the book page jamming incident, both parties actually already knew certain things.

Dazai Osamu closed the book and said as if talking to himself: "It's really inconvenient to communicate like this... You can actually become a human, right?"

Ever since he learned that Nakahara Chuuya was actually the personification of superpowers, Dazai Osamu could calmly open his mind to all similar things.

Although he felt that if this was really the legendary 'book', it would be safer for an object with such powerful power not to have a personality, but after hearing Kunikida Doppo's words from the 'book', he took the initiative to give him the information.

Look, the matter of self-awareness is basically a certainty.

I just don’t know how strong this ‘book’’s personality and self-awareness is, so I hope it won’t create a very troublesome character.

Nanaya also knew that he could not hide this aspect. He had already thought of this step when he sent the "Dr. Jekyll" novel to Osamu Dazai.

Although Dazai Osamu could still track down Jekyll & Hyde without giving it to Dazai Osamu, Nanaya could continue to pretend to be dead for a while, but then he would have lost an opportunity to rewrite the script on his own initiative, and with Dazai Osamu's mind, sooner or later,

He will find a way to make him speak... Even if he doesn't find it, people in this world can't deal with the heroic spirits, and he will still be exposed in the end even if he doesn't have to take action.

But after posting it, Osamu Dazai will be inclined to believe that Jekyll & Hyde was written by a 'book' and that people who did not exist in this world before will naturally increase the number of people who believe that Nanaya is a 'book'.

Somewhat credible.

After all, there are not many 'books' in this world that can casually write about living people.

Therefore, becoming a human being is not a problem, the problem is who we become.

The level of Nursery Rhyme's skill [Transformation] is [a]. Generally speaking, it will transform into the appearance of the master who summoned it, or the inner reflection of the master.

For Nanaya, of course, it is not limited to this scope. In fact, anyone can become anyone, but in that case, who knows what Osamu Dazai will think about or check based on what he becomes...

Nanaya is also planning to use the reason "I can become the hero in the story written in the book" in the future to explain the change in her image after switching the Heroic Spirit Card. Dazai Osamu must not be suspicious from the beginning.

Therefore, Nanaya, who knew early on that there would be a time when she would transform into a human form, thought carefully about it for a long time.

Let's choose from the people Dazai Osamu knows, but Dazai Osamu... the only important person is the dead Oda Sakunosuke, right? As for the person who will appear in his dream, no matter what, this is the only one.

But if he becomes like Oda Sakunosuke, I feel like there is no need to think about any follow-up script. Dazai Osamu will probably laugh and think of ways to destroy him humanely. What about cooperation and trust, it is simply overthinking.

Therefore, minefields cannot be stepped on.

In that case...

Because Nanaya had already clearly analyzed the pros and cons of who to turn into, so when Dazai Osamu asked, he made some preparations and started to transform.

Dazai Osamu leaned back a little and watched the book emit a soft but not dazzling light, and could clearly see the shadow in the center of the light. From the shape of the book, it gradually turned into a human shape, and then hair and the like.

detail……

The light dissipated.

Osamu Dazai looked at the humanoid 'book' sitting on the table and fell silent.

After a few seconds, Dazai Osamu smiled and said: "Oh, this is really interesting... I really want to take you to see Kunikida-kun right away. I think I can see a very interesting expression."

Sitting on the table was young Shota, who was only seven or eight years old. His face was exactly what Dazai Osamu looked like when he was a child.

Qiye tilted his head with a young look on his face: "What do you want from me?"

Although Nanaya has passed Shota's age many years ago, now that his synchronization rate with nursery rhymes has increased to a certain extent, his mental age has dropped rapidly, and he can act like a cute person without any hindrance in his heart. The most important thing is his IQ.

It is not affected, otherwise Qiye would never dare to use the nursery rhyme card.

That's right, after careful consideration, Nanaya believes that using Dazai Osamu's face will have the least problems!

Osamu Dazai definitely doesn't mind this!

But it’s not good to look like an adult. On the one hand, if you are around the same age as Osamu Dazai, you may have other troubles. On the other hand, it would be too inconsistent with the picture book image... Although I thought he was blank'

The person who wrote the book doesn't care about this, but the part that belongs to the "nursery rhyme" is a bit unhappy. It is a hero for children, and turning into an adult goes against its original intention of becoming a heroic spirit.

So Nanaya decided to use Dazai Osamu's childhood appearance. Of course, in addition to the above reasons, there was another important reason that prompted him to make up his mind, and that was——

Human beings will always be softer towards beings who look like children, and their initial level of trust will be higher than when they meet adults for the first time.

Even if there is only a little bit of soft-heartedness, it will be a help to Qiye.

The Heroic Spirit Cards he used to use in the past were all out of the age that could be called children when he became famous. Qiye really couldn't use this trick. Now that there is no such restriction, of course he can use all the available conditions.

On!

Dazai Osamu can now face his face as a child without changing his expression. After all, the current look is only similar in appearance. If the personality is the same as him, it will be over. He is still very self-aware in this regard.

I guess I happened to be in front of the 'book' and was used as a reference. In this case, it means that the 'book' has not had much experience, which is a good thing.

"Why do you want to show me "Dr. Jekyll"?" Osamu Dazai asked.

Qiye replied: "I want to catch Jekyll and Hyde."

When facing smart people, the best way to deceive is to only tell the truth, and then conceal part of the truth and let them figure it out on their own, so Qiye didn't say anything like wanting to help Dazai Osamu, which was not reliable at first glance, and

It can be seen that you have small thoughts...it is obviously something you want to do, and you still say it is to help others. It is no different from human beings who have many thoughts.

The effect Qiye wants to achieve is to let people see him as different from humans. He has no conflict of interest with humans, and does not have complex thoughts of humans. He is a simple, newly born personification of the protection program of the 'book'.

In order to achieve this effect, the more straightforward you speak, the better. There is no need to be clever.

If I really want to play, I can wait until my character is firmly established, and then use the excuse of "I learned a lot while getting along with you, and my personality will gradually become more and more like human beings" to slowly change it.

The difference between exposing one's human side from the beginning and slowly changing it later is that people will feel wary in the former, while people will feel relieved in the latter.

Watching beings who don't understand people's hearts gradually become more like humans has always been an enduring cute theme in human literary and artistic works. Senior screenwriter Qiye said that he understands it very well!

Facing the frank Nanaya, Dazai Osamu showed no sign of letting down his guard. He just raised his eyebrows and continued to ask: "Why should we arrest him?"

"That is my responsibility." Qiye showed a serious look, "They should not appear in this world, I need to recycle them."

"Recycle...?" Dazai Osamu chewed on the word, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, "I know, it's very interesting, I will help you."

As if he had just learned it from a book of common sense, Qiye thanked him sternly, with no trace of gratitude at all. All this fell into Dazai Osamu's eyes, his eyes flashed, and his smile widened a little.

"Speaking of which, why don't you let me write something in the book?" Dazai Osamu said in a coquettish tone, "Others have already written about the murderer, so why can't I write it?"

Regarding this issue, Qiye, of course, had already found an explanation long ago: "It's no longer possible, and there's no point in writing it."

The strange thing is that Dazai Osamu did not ask "Why not?", but asked: "When will it not work?"

Qiye blinked: "It will start when I show up."

This is certainly not a lie. From the time he appeared in this world, the 'book' has indeed not shown any examples of the story becoming reality. Qiye vowed to stop the Holy Grail fragments from causing trouble, and he did succeed. As for other than the 'book'

There is only a little bit of residual energy left in some parts, such as pages of a book, and it doesn't matter if it is not recycled, then it is out of his control.

"Is there no way to change reality through writing?" Osamu Dazai asked.

Qiye said: "A page was torn out before, but it can still be used now."

"Who asked you to show up?"

Qiye answered simply: "I don't know."

That's right, if you can't think of a perfect answer, just answer "I don't know". Smart people will figure out the answer on their own!

Osamu Dazai said thoughtfully: "I understand."

So this personality is a protection program created by someone unknown. It is really troublesome to have no restrictions. But if a protection program appears, there is a way to cancel it, but I don’t know what the conditions for cancellation are.

Qiye Xin said.

You finally understand! I’m so tired of making it up! It’s so hard to fool smart people! You can figure out the rest by yourself!

Thank you so much for co-writing with me!
