People can do many things, including create pictures in their minds through one of the five senses, such as hearing.
Osamu Dazai pressed two fingers on the smooth shell of the sound transmission tool on his ear. Listening to the fine sounds transmitted from the other end, he felt that his fingers were slightly numb from the subtle vibrations, which gradually faded away from the fingertips.
body temperature.
…
"I didn't expect... we met so soon, Mr. Special Envoy of the Holy See." Van Helsing said this, and then you could hear him quickly jumping back a few steps, realizing that he had not left the attack range of the believer and then made a decisive decision.
used skills similar to teleportation.
Then there was the sound of a sharp blade scraping the radio earphone into the soil. Along with the light object falling to the ground, the earphone made a noise as if it had been slightly impacted. Maybe the fixed place was chipped away. Dazai Osamu heard it instantly
The elongated sound of wind and the harsh sound of headphones hitting the ground.
The man with the silver ponytail whom he once pushed into the alley said "Oh" without emotion, and started chatting with Van Helsing indifferently not far from where he dropped his earphones:
"I didn't expect to meet you in such a peripheral place just after infiltrating."
Just infiltrated? As for the word Van Helsing used, it actually refers to the "periphery" of the away game? Dazai Osamu noticed something was wrong almost instantly.
Van Helsing didn't make a sound. He probably stood there motionless, staring at the believers with eyes that showed no attitude. Maybe he was biting the grass stem in his mouth?
"I thought you would protect that person..." He didn't say who that person was, but even the vague conversation was enough to guess who "that person" was -
"-What surprises me is that you stayed in this 'target'. No matter how I think about it, I can only come up with one reason."
The believer said in a cold tone:
"You want to wait to kill me, the 'betrayer', right?"
Dazai Osamu's fingertips were cold, and he took a gentle breath.
"...It's not good."
Both the conclusion he drew and the information Mr. Mori obtained pointed to the identity of this believer being closely related to Dostoyevsky. This was indeed the case. He was indeed on the same side as the devil——
But only if he doesn't rebel.
Enemies of enemies can be called friends who are temporarily allied, but they should not be enemies who take the initiative to provoke on the battlefield, nor should they treat teammates as important enemies to block, and the only ones sent to block are the enemies!
A person with cold fingertips needs something warm to transfer warmth to him. This thing can be a scalding coffee cup, a bulging hot water bottle, or a girl's warm and soft palm, but Dazai Osamu has none of them at this time.
, he could only press the headphones without temperature to continue listening to the conversation that would make his fingertips even colder.
"You don't need to ask, I'll tell you directly." The cultist raised his weapon on the ground and struck it with a "thud" sound. This sound seemed to ring in Dazai Osamu's heart, Dazai Osamu thought.
It was reversed, everything was reversed, and Fyodor set it up.
The two people now have no intention of fighting. From the earphones, only the deep voice of the cultist can be heard, "There is no unspeakable reason for the rebellion. It is just that I have confirmed who is the vampire, so I quit."
Then there's Van Helsing's voice.
The distance seems to be the same as that of the believers. The two of them may have been having a harmonious conversation face to face just now. Whoever wanted to delay the time must have achieved their goal at this time, and they started chatting calmly.
"'People have to have a reason to live,' that's what you said. So I watched you chase the so-called vampire from one place to another. We changed from partners to enemies, and then to partners.
Become an enemy again - now it will finally be over." Van Helsing said:
"-Am I a vampire now?"
"yes."
"You once thought I was a vampire hunter."
"Now you've become a vampire too."
"..."
There was silence in the earphones, and there was no need to listen to what would happen next. Osamu Dazai thought, and switched the channel amidst the futile sounds of fighting.
Next, they will fight each other, and then one of them will survive. No matter who he is, the one who survives will not appear again, unless he can catch Fyodor... Osamu Dazai was thinking about how to save the situation, and then he discovered
, even if the identity of the enemy and the enemy is mistaken, the result will not change much.
Even if there was no mistake, judging from the information he received, the two men would choose to duel.
Who should we expect to survive now? This can no longer be controlled or guessed. There is no basis for guessing the outcome of the battle between Van Helsing and the cultists. Probably only Fyodor can come up with the outcome.
…
In a coffee shop that is still far away.
Fyodor closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep amid the gentle music, but tapping his fingertips on the table revealed the fact that he was deep in thought.
He seemed to have closed his eyes for a while, then opened his eyes again and stared at the coffee that was no longer steaming.
"The believers left with the curse on the vampires, and the vampires were not taken to hell."
So vampires will be sent to hell by him. As for him who is also classified as a vampire? He never thinks of himself as a vampire.
"I'm just a sinful human being."
――――
When I switched back to the channel of the "ex-partners" who had a complicated relationship, I could no longer hear anything. Maybe the radio earphones were damaged during the fight, Dazai Osamu calmly speculated.
"Mr. Dazai, there are three vehicles leaving the north entrance of the abandoned mine. I will contact the military police on the ground right now-"
"Don't worry, this is a trap to weaken our military strength." So who will survive? Whether it is the cultist or Van Helsing, they both seem to be the ones who will take away the body of the losing party and disappear.
"There is a truck leaving from the west entrance of the abandoned mine. This time it must be -"
"No, don't worry about it." But if Van Helsing still has a mission - I can't imagine how Fyodor will deliver the news at this time, but if he intervenes, the chance of survival is most likely to be entrusted with trust.
Identity of Van Helsing.
"There are also several armed mercenaries escorting a man in a cloak to leave, heading towards--"
"Don't worry, keep watching."
"No, that's not right, Mr. Dazai, under the cloak... is a man with a silver ponytail."
"What?"
Dazai Osamu was stunned for a moment.
The one who survived... turned out to be a believer?
Wait, didn’t the believers rebel? Why did they join Fyodor’s team to confuse his eyes?
