Heroic Spirit Transformation System 2

Chapter 25: Encounter in Dream

Next, Dazai Osamu asked Nanaya how she used to find Jekyll & Hyde.

Qiye told him honestly that he could feel it if he got close to a certain range, but this range was limited, so he usually entered the dreams of a larger range of people and looked for clues based on keywords, so he changed bookstores regularly.

Obviously the ability of the 'book' is so powerful that it can change reality, but it seems to have become much weaker after acquiring a personality - Qiye has never regarded this problem as a problem.

First of all, the fact that he is a 'book' is not something he said himself, it was Dazai Osamu's guess. Although he was indeed misleading, the blame cannot be placed on him anyway.

Secondly... there is a precedent for the personification of supernatural powers. Dazai Osamu's partner in the Port Mafia, Nakahara Chuuya, is Nanaya's current "senior".

Although Nakahara Chuuya is usually very strong, it seems that he is still in the category of powerful human superpowers, but he becomes even stronger when he loses consciousness and goes berserk. The damage he caused once reached a scale that is difficult to explain with superpowers, and there are even rumors about this.

Rumors arose of "Arab Tu", saying that God blew up the land within 2 kilometers in diameter and the people living on it.

With such an example that Osamu Dazai is very familiar with before Nanaya, Osamu Dazai will definitely feel that it is not surprising that the ability of the superpower is weakened after having a personality.

If it is a protection program itself, it is normal for it to be weakened.

As expected, Osamu Dazai didn't ask about the limits of his abilities, he just asked where he was currently investigating.

Nanaya gave Dazai Osamu his route of action for the past two days.

"I have left an imprint on the psyche of people within these ranges, and if they have new information about Jekyll and Hyde, I will know it even outside my maximum capture range."

Osamu Dazai asked: "Besides refining keywords, what else can these marks do?"

Qiye thought it didn't matter if he answered it, so he said honestly: "You can pull them into the same dream."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiye looked at Dazai Osamu's sudden smile and felt that maybe he shouldn't answer this question.

To be honest, although Nanaya's brain is indeed very useful, it is not in the same direction as Dazai Osamu's enhancement.

Osamu Dazai's understanding of people's hearts and his prediction of the overall situation are already at the level of a director. He can guide events to develop in the direction he wants.

Although Qiye is also guiding, he is very self-aware. He usually mainly relies on spoilers from his memory to guess all the things that may happen, and then arranges the script one by one. Simply put, Qiye is a person who knows that everything in the world is not always the same.

His copycat version of Batman relies on planning abcd to deal with emergencies, so as to prevent the overall situation from getting out of control.

Especially since he was guiding the development of the incident, Osamu Dazai was also guiding, but he couldn't do it too obviously, so he was at a disadvantage.

Qiye's grasp of people's hearts is actually quite bad, because he himself was not a person who grew up in a normal environment. He uses his own brain to guess other people's thoughts and is always biased. He relies entirely on a large amount of psychological knowledge to correct them.

... He doesn't even know why he can so easily improve his synchronization rate with the heroic spirit. This is not something that can be improved by just saying, "I want to improve." It's about truly understanding the heroic spirit's thoughts.

In short, Qiye's method is enough to deal with ordinary smart people, but if he encounters someone with an abnormal brain circuit like Dazai Osamu, Qiye will feel very miserable.

For example, at this moment, Qiuye's intuition told him that Dazai Osamu was thinking something bad, but he just didn't know what the other party wanted to do... This was beyond his script.

However, generally anything that goes beyond his script will not affect his plan. At most, it will be a waste of time for people to use their abilities. Qiye is used to it. Anyway, it is usually to save people, so he doesn't care about it.

But even so, dealing with Dazai Osamu is still very troublesome. He seems to be relying on the assumption that "the newly born personality with supernatural powers is not sensible yet" and frantically tests Nanye's bottom line without concealing it. In the end, Nanye has to

The matter of "learning from humans and slowly developing a personality" was brought forward a little earlier.

Seeing that the young shota, who had been answering him obediently, gradually changed from an expressionless expression to a blurry look in his eyes when he asked him, and now he turned back to the look of a book and ignored him, Dazai Osamu touched him.

Chin, I think it’s very interesting.

He no longer forced Qiye to turn into a human form, but stuffed him into his pocket again and went to the detective agency.

Kunikida Doppo thought that Dazai Osamu habitually skipped work and would not come back today. He even wrote down the call to Dazai Osamu in his schedule. Unexpectedly, the other party came back leisurely and leisurely!

"You... forget it." Kunikida Dopo adjusted his glasses that had slipped off, "Now that you're back, don't run around."

"What are you talking about, Kunikida-kun." Dazaiji said confidently, "How can we get clues without going out?"

Kunikida Doppo choked for a moment. Others might go out to look for clues. What are the consequences of going out? Do you have the nerve to say it in front of him who goes to the river all day to bring people back?!

"Dazai, you guy——"

"He is really looking for clues this time, Kunikida." Edogawa Ranpo, who put on his glasses and spread a bunch of information on the table while eating snacks, raised his head and glanced at Dazai Osamu, "Hey

, Dazai, you know you can’t hide this for long, right?”

Knowing that Edogawa Ranpo was talking about the 'book', Dazai Osamu responded happily: "They ran away, how can they blame us?"

Kunikida Doppo was confused, but he accurately grasped a key word: "What are you hiding?"

"This is something Kunikida-kun should not know." Osamu Dazai's face seemed to be full of kindness, "If you find out, you will probably never be able to sleep."

Qiye, who was listening in the audience, cursed.

Yes, if Kunikida Doppo knew about it, he would lose sleep for days and nights just wondering whether to hand it over to the country...

However, Dazai Osamu said again: "But we are partners, and it is really not good to hide this matter from you. I will tell you after you finish today's work."

Edogawa's chewing movements paused for a moment, and then he swallowed quickly, turning to ask the passerby: "Hey, do you have any earplugs?"

"...? There should be some, but I need to look for it. Does Mr. Ranpo want to use it?"

"If you find it, give it to me."

He didn't notice the movement on Edogawa Ranpo's side. Kunikida Doppo's attention was all on Dazai Osamu. He was very suspicious of Dazai Osamu's well-intentioned purpose. He always felt that it was a sign of some kind of trick, but now the detective agency is really

He was busy, and he had to entertain the visiting guests, so he could only hurriedly say "Don't be lazy and work hard" and left.

However, when Kunikida walked away alone, Dazai Osamu, who claimed that he had been working hard, lay down on the sofa, took out the book, and made a new request.

"Are there any other novels I haven't read? Here's one!"

Seven nights:"………………"

What the hell do you think of me as a reader!?

I thought so, but Dazai Osamu's request actually opened the door to a new world for Nanaya. He quickly changed several of his plans, and at the same time actually changed a novel for Dazai Osamu to read.

Dazai Osamu looked at the "Sherlock Holmes" displayed on the blank page and started reading it with great interest.

Of course Qiye would not be idle during this period. He entered the dream world and started working.

It is only evening now, and most people will not sleep at this time. However, Jekyll and Hyde always have at least one person's personality sinking in the subconscious, and the boundaries with the dream world are extremely blurred, so it is still difficult to find them at this time.

Very convenient.

Qiye once used Merlin's card. As a dream demon, Merlin is much better at controlling dreams than Nursery Rhyme. Therefore, after experiencing Merlin, Qiye used the ability of Nursery Rhyme now and found it without wasting too much time.

The most appropriate method.

When there are a lot of dreams like this at night, it would be too inefficient to go through every dream, so filter it with keywords first before talking about it.

However, there will be a loophole in this, that is, Jekyll & Hyde may not mention their names when he is screening, so Qiye is almost conscientious, screening them every time he has time to prevent fish from slipping through the net.

Regardless of whether he was really lying down and working, it was actually quite hard.

But at this time today, when there were not many people sleeping, Qiye could carefully go in and check one by one.

Excluding women first, Qiye first entered the dream of a man, and found that this guy worked too hard and passed out in the office... The social beast Qiye felt the same way, and felt that it would be too tragic to continue working in a dream after being comatose at work, so he couldn't bear to look directly into it.

A dream.

As a result, in the next dream, Qiye couldn't feel any tension or pressure in the dream. It was like a rich man who didn't have to work and took a nap in the evening, compared with a dream that was so stressful that Qiye couldn't stay there.

, Qiye is a bit sour.

If you look closely, you will see that this dream is a vast expanse of ice and snow. Even if you don't feel cold, just looking at this scene, Qiye has a vague illusion that he is freezing to death.

It's not like what he guessed based on the feeling of mental fluctuations at the beginning... The owner of this dream is a bit lonely, doesn't he even have any friends?

But no matter who the owner of this dream was, it was definitely not Jekyll & Hyde. Qiye was about to leave, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

Someone was standing behind him unknowingly.

Only the owner of the dream can do this, and only if the other party has the consciousness that he is in the dream can he seize control of the dream from Qiye.

This is a lucid dream.

Although Qiye felt it was a bit troublesome, he didn't take it seriously. Anyway, the other party would think that he was actually the person in his dream, and he would probably forget it when he woke up.

Thinking like this, Qiye regained control of the dream and turned to look at the person behind him——

"————"

Qiye maintained his facial expressions and eyes with his actor-level acting skills.

The owner of this dreamland of ice and snow looked at Qiye with a slightly surprised expression.

"...This is really interesting." A shallow, invisible smile appeared on his sickly pale face, "Did Osamu Dazai ask you to come?"

Seven nights:"…………"

The owner of the dream is Fyodor Dostoevsky, one of the famous directors who has read the script along with Osamu Dazai.

Why are you in my detection range, you idiot!? Is it because you didn’t adjust to the jet lag when you went to bed at this time, or is it just because you have a bad schedule!?

...Forget it, judging from your dark circles, it should be the latter.
