I was the fourth disaster in Yokohama and was loved by everyone.

She had already located Dazai's location by following the prompts on the system panel.

Push open the container door—

Darkness then poured out densely.

The moonlight was easily swallowed up by the door.

"Dazai."

Zhu Yu called out, but there was no response.

She frowned slightly.

The green name frame floating in the field of vision already indicates that Dazai is indeed here, so why not answer?

I can't just fall asleep.

Thinking this, she blinked her eyes, which could still see in the dark, and walked straight to the bed in the corner—the blankets formed a blurry outline, but the edges were eerily still, without the rise and fall of breath.

I poked the raised part.

The blanket remained completely still.

Zhu Yu: ???

Suddenly, I pulled back a corner of the blanket and was caught off guard by a pair of open, iris-colored eyes—

Dazai was curled up in his blankets, his black hair sticking up in a mess, and his cheeks were flushed from being cooped up for so long.

Seeing Zhu Yu stunned, he blinked innocently and complained first, "[Kuzi]-chan is finally here. I've been waiting for so long."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu swallowed the question she had originally intended to ask him why he hadn't spoken.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Zhu Yu pinched her chin and suddenly realized, "No wonder you fell asleep."

"Dazai sleeps with his eyes open, that's amazing."

Zhu Yu cast a curious glance at him.

Chapter 164 Interesting

Dazai was stunned, his eyes widened slightly, and then he suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard that his whole body was in a mess on the bed, his black hair smeared on the pillow, and his shoulders trembling.

He laughed while wiping away tears: "Oh yeah, didn't expect that, did you?"

"This is something that others can't do."

Dazai sat up lazily and said, "But this is a secret, you can't tell anyone~"

Zhu Yu applauded at just the right moment, and after Dazai had finished laughing, she stretched out her hands and began to wait for him to hand over the gift.

"Dazai, a gift."

With your palm facing up, you hope the other person will place the gift in your hand.

"Eh~ What gift? Is [Kuko]-chan going to give me a gift?" Dazai Osamu leaned forward slowly, lightly tapping her empty palm with his fingertip, and said playfully, "But why is there nothing here?"

Is this a lie?

Zhu Yu's eyes widened, and only four words kept repeating in his mind: Rebel against the Heavenly Gang!

But what if this is part of the programmed procedure?

Players need to submit certain items to receive corresponding gifts from NPCs.

Okay, it's a familiar routine.

Glancing at his nearly depleted stamina, Zhu Yu decided to finish the battle quickly.

She rummaged through her backpack and found an item among her many collections that the Dazai NPC showed a liking for—[Advanced Bandage: Extremely tough, fireproof and waterproof, the perfect choice for home and travel, giving it to a specific person will likely increase their favorability by 1 point].

She had given it to him once, and afterwards Dazai kept pestering her for bandages. Unfortunately, this item only spawns in trash cans in a few fixed locations such as hospitals and convenience stores, so the drop rate is quite low, and players don't have any left over.

I hoarded some items while searching through trash cans on the previous map, but haven't used them yet. I can give them to Dazai now.

Zhu Yu took out a [High-Grade Bandage] and placed it in Dazai's hand: "A gift for you."

Dazai stared at the roll of bandage that had suddenly appeared in his hand, blinked, as if he hadn't realized he was actually receiving a gift, and his fingers curled slightly.

For a moment, no one spoke inside the container; only the sound of slow breathing could be heard.

"Oh my, is this the gift?" After a long silence, Dazai chuckled softly. "I can't refuse at all."

"So......"

A hand suddenly covered Zhu Yu's eyes, the palm warm and carrying the faint scent of detergent from the blanket.

Suddenly plunged into darkness, Zhu Yu blinked instinctively.

The eyelashes brushed across the lines of Dazai's palm like tiny brushes, the touch slightly ticklish.

"Don't move, it'll be over in a minute."

One sentence was enough to make Zhu Yu give up her plan to remove the hand.

Without sight, her other senses seemed to become more acute; she felt Dazai's other hand rise, followed by a soft "click"—

The warm yellow light instantly seeped through my fingers, casting a hazy amber hue over the world before me.

Then, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and turned it so that her palm was facing upwards, and a cold, blocky piece of metal was gently placed in her outstretched palm.

"All right."

The hand covering her eyes was slowly removed. Because she had already adjusted to the light leaking through her fingers, Zhu Yu blinked and immediately adjusted to the bright environment.

Look down at your palm—

A brand new cell phone lay there quietly, its body pure black.

[An "ordinary" mobile phone: a specially customized model unavailable on the market, with powerful functions, capable of maintaining signal strength and real-time location tracking in every corner of the world.]

What caught her attention most was the pendant on the phone—a tiny, Q-version cotton doll, quirkily attached to the neck as a tie point, making it look like it was hanging from the phone.

The little cotton figure has black hair and is wrapped in bandages.

Looks so familiar...

Zhu Yu held the pendant up to Taizai, her gaze shifting back and forth between the two...

Isn't this just the chibi version of Dazai's character from the mobile app?!

Zhu Yu suddenly realized: "Two Grand Tutors."

Dazai smiled and pointed at the little figure: "You guessed right, it looks just like it, doesn't it?"

Then, he suddenly pulled another little figure out of his pocket—a figure with beady eyes, an expressionless face, long black hair, and a hole in the back of its collar with a rope tied to it.

Dazai held the pendant by the rope, as if he were flying around by the back of a little man's collar.

Wait, this looks familiar too...

Isn't this just a chibi version of the player's character?

The players were shocked.

"That's right, this is [Kuzi]."

Dazai confirmed her guess, and poked the little man's cheek with his fingertip, causing the little man to swing back and forth in the air.

They're rather pitiful.

I don't know why, but even though it wasn't the person being pokes, it still feels a bit strange...

Zhu Yu thought for a moment, then raised her hand and reached for the little figure in the Grand Tutor's hand—

"No way~" Dazai saw through her intention and immediately put away the little figure, protecting it behind his back like a precious treasure. "This one is mine."

"See, isn't it interesting?"

As he spoke, Dazai slowly moved horizontally through the air, carrying the pendant, and the little figure moved along with it. Then it accelerated and spun...

Her chibi-style figurine was wantonly trampled in Dazai's hands, while Dazai laughed triumphantly.

Zhu Yu: ......

I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, but something just feels off.

But with her stamina depleted, and needing to rush home to rest, she didn't have time to dwell on it. So she squeezed the pendant on her phone and nodded in affirmation: "It's very interesting."

"Thank you, Dazai. I like it very much."

Birthday gifts from NPCs only happen once a year, making them extremely rare, and players naturally cherish them greatly.

"I will protect this 'Dazai' well."

This is a limited-edition birthday item; if it's gone, it might never be available again!

Zhu Yu carefully examined the pendant in her palm before replacing it with her old phone.

She was using an old phone that she got from a thug at the beginning of the game, but now she finally has a new one, so she's switching to it.

Dazai's action of playing with the figurine froze, stuck at a certain subtle angle, his eyes flashing.

"what......"

The barely audible syllables floated out of his throat.

Dazai unconsciously stroked the little figure in his hand, lowered his head, and remained silent.

"Goodbye, Dazai."

Thinking she had successfully ended the conversation, Zhu Yu hastily ended it as well.

Upon noticing that her stamina was glowing red and about to reach zero, she immediately took out a stamina-restoring potion from her backpack, intending to replenish it a little to last until she got home.

Items that replenish stamina are not very common, so save them if you can.

She took out the medicine and was about to put it in her mouth when Dazai grabbed her wrist, and the medicine stopped in mid-air.

Zhu Yu: "???"

not good!

"[Kuzi]-chan, are you tired? Actually, you can rest here too~"

A kind-hearted bandage man suggested with a smile.

"Then..." Please help me.

Zhu Yu's eyes lit up, but before she could finish the last few words—

[Stamina depleted, player falls unconscious and unable to move...]

hateful!

Her vision went black, and her body began to fall forward uncontrollably—

In the last part of her memory, she was caught steadily by a pair of hands.

—“@%%￥......”

Chapter 165 Unlocking Old Missions

The girl's body slumped forward, but was caught firmly by a pair of strong arms just before she hit the ground. Dazai, anticipating this, tightened his arms, shielding her completely in his embrace.

Her fair cheek rested against his shoulder, her breathing even, she slept soundly, as if nothing could wake her.

Dazai's eyelashes trembled, his lips curved slightly, and he leaned close to her ear and spoke slowly.

—"Happy birthday... I hope it's not too late."

A breathy blessing, mingled with warm breath, brushed against the other person's ear.

The person being blessed closed their eyes quietly, showing no reaction.

Dazai chuckled softly, settled the person on the bed, and then walked to a chair, leaned back, and slowly closed his eyes.

Turn off the lights.

The container was plunged into a quiet darkness once again.
