The child's voice was so crisp that it was difficult for Shi Wu to be on guard.

A bad guy would never have the word "bad guy" written on his face, but he was not stupid, and he had no way of ignoring the malice emanating from this child. Shi Wu

wasn't quite sure when he had provoked the enemy, but he was still not too alert because of the childishness displayed by the child.

Although there was malice displayed, there was no murderous intent, and he could feel that this child was really serious about inviting him to play - well, what exactly this "play" meant was another matter.

Because the weather was good, most of the negative emotions in him had dissipated, and Shi Wu's temperament at this moment did not make it difficult for people to approach him. However, Shi Wu would not take the initiative to approach someone if he had ill intentions towards him, so he stopped.

Probably guessing that the other party's ability was probably related to "playing", Shi Wu shook his head: "No, I want to go back."

"Eh——" the child dragged out the last syllable, looking a little regretful and aggrieved.

Shi Wu couldn't see, so he couldn't see the appearance and dress of the child in front of him.

This child, who was probably only ten years old, had a special black and white hair, and his eyes were shining like fallen stars. He was holding a scary-looking doll, and Yumeno Hisasaku, codenamed "Q", was not very happy and pouted, and it seemed that no one had ever refused him.

In fact, people with a little kindness basically can't refuse such a child.

"Hisaku rarely comes out to play, big brother, are you really going to reject me?" Yumeno Hisaku lowered his head, his voice filled with frustration and sadness.

Tokiwa knew that this was the truth. If it was Edogawa Ranpo himself, he probably wouldn't care about other people's thoughts at all and would turn around and leave on the spot.

However, Tokiwa was in a good mood at the moment, so he didn't refuse firmly, but replied: "But I want to go back."

- It sounds like it's not that he wasn't being tough.

After all, Tokiwa was still using the pseudonym "Edogawa Ranpo", and he was a willful and self-centered person.

"What the hell - big brother is a bad guy!" Unable to understand the child's logic, Yumeno Hisaku snorted heavily, then stomped his feet and turned around, wanting to turn around and leave.

Just because of his fluctuating emotions, the child didn't seem to notice the stone on the ground, and suddenly screamed and fell forward.

Almost instinctively, Shi Wu grabbed the child who was about to fall - but the moment he touched Yumeno Hisasaku, Shi Wu immediately reacted!

Oops, I've been fooled!

Yumeno Hisasaku's arms were full of razor blades, and in an instant, Shi Wu smelled the smell of blood coming from the child in front of him.

On the back of Shi Wu's neck, which was originally clean and had nothing on it, at this moment, a black handprint appeared as if someone had grabbed it fiercely.

Yumeno Hisasaku, who was supported by Shi Wu but immediately thrown away, raised the corners of his mouth high. This time his voice was very soft, with a sweet tone and strong malice that he didn't know where he learned from.

"Brother, let's play~"

【! @#￥%……&*! ! ! 】

In an instant, Toki's consciousness was cut off.

Before the members of the detective agency got into trouble, no one would realize that the group had already started the attack - the person who realized this matter, if he pretended to be ignorant on the surface, naturally could not be counted.

According to the original future, the Armed Detective Agency would not feel the danger until the sudden disappearance of a building on the next morning, and they would begin to respond.

Even after the whole day passed, they would not realize the disappearance of Kenji Miyazawa (Kenji Miyazawa was captured when sending the group away).

Because the detective agency is so free, everyone has a very distinct personality. Miyazawa Kenji is a newcomer and has a rare offensive ability in the Armed Detective Agency. If he is ranked purely by offensive power, he ranks at the top of the detective agency.

When he has no work tasks, Miyazawa Kenji likes to go farming or something, so he disappears for a while without notifying in advance, and no one will find the problem in a short time.

But this time is different. Shi Wu is not the kind of person who disappears without notifying. In the first one or two hours, Edogawa Ranpo was not in a hurry. But when it was almost time to get off work, Shi Wu had not returned yet, and Edogawa Ranpo finally realized that something was wrong.

"How strange? Why hasn't he come back yet?" At this time, Edogawa Ranpo didn't think of any accidents. He just thought that the other party was in a bad mood at the time, so he was just a little worried.

But when Edogawa Ranpo went out, he heard Tanizaki Junichiro casually said, "I haven't seen Kenji all afternoon." The

detective suddenly raised his head: "What did you say?!"

Edogawa Ranpo, who didn't regard the group as a threat at all, finally panicked at this moment. In the confused eyes of others, he put on the glasses that "represented the use of super reasoning" - all the information and clues that he would not pay attention to due to self-suggestion appeared in front of him.

"Kenji was captured! It's a space-related supernatural power." Ranpo Edogawa stood at the door of the elevator and said this to several employees who had not yet left work.

Fukuzawa Yukichi also walked out at this time, frowning slightly. He never doubted Ranpo Edogawa's judgment, so at this moment, he just asked: "Where is Kenji now? Ranpo."

Because it was related to Shiwu, Ranpo Edogawa did not act willfully, and directly reported an address, and then almost ordered: "Dazai, Atsushi, the two of you come with me!"

Because he did not have much martial arts value, except for reasoning cases, Ranpo Edogawa mostly stood in the back. This might be the first time he took the initiative to do something.

"Everyone else, including ordinary members, please wait here for the time being!"

Ordinary people in the detective agency are more aware of the special nature of these people with special abilities than others, and the dangers these special guys will encounter. At this time, of course they will not refute Edogawa Ranpo who is obviously serious.

Just like the test of the first test of Nakajima Atsushi, Tanizaki Junichiro played the role of a bomb maniac enemy. In fact, this kind of danger has happened in the past of the detective agency.

Just like banks often encounter robbers, the Armed Detective Agency also often encounters this kind of low-class guys who are hostile to the police. Because the detective agency helped the police, it was retaliated or something.

Also, the last time they were threatened by the Port Mafia, the Armed Detective Agency was extremely cold, and the only one who was scared was the newcomer, Atsushi Nakajima.

The Detective Agency was used to this kind of thing.

But this time it was obviously different. Because it was not the end of the work day yet, the ordinary members of the detective agency had not left yet. At this moment, they obeyed Ranpo Edogawa's order and stayed where they were, waiting for further instructions.

Ranpo Edogawa took Nakajima Atsushi and Dazai Osamu out of the detective agency without hesitation.

As for choosing Nakajima Atsushi, it was because Ranpo Edogawa judged that the opponent was not an enemy with armed force, and he also saw that Dazai Osamu was training Nakajima Atsushi.

Ranpo Edogawa didn't think that with himself and Dazai Osamu there, anything unexpected would happen.

Compared to Dazai Osamu and Ranpo Edogawa who already understood what to do, Nakajima Atsushi, who was called along, seemed a little overwhelmed. Although he knew how powerful Ranpo was, he still had enough of a bird mentality towards Dazai Osamu who brought him back to the detective agency at that time, so at this moment he asked Dazai Osamu: "...Mr. Dazai, where are we going?"

"Well, to save the sleeping Sleeping Beauty?" Dazai Osamu answered in an uncertain and frivolous tone.

Now it is almost the normal time for workers to get off work. The evening sun falls on them. Compared with Edogawa Ranpo, Dazai Osamu seems more relaxed.

If it is just a combination, the other "Mr. Ranpo" will never be in danger, after all, there is a little fan of Mr. Ranpo there.

After all, even Dazai Osamu would not have thought that at this moment, Mori Ogai would actually release the terrible psychic "Q".

When they arrived at the scene, both Ranpo Edogawa and Dazai Osamu's faces changed.

Ranpo Edogawa picked up the hat that fell on the ground - it was the same beret that he had worn when he pulled Shiwu.

"Dazai." Ranpo Edogawa called Dazai Osamu's name.

In the conversation that Nakajima Atsushi could not understand at all, Dazai Osamu's face was a little gloomy: "Yeah."

"Let's go back to the detective agency immediately!" Edogawa Ranpo hugged his hat tightly and turned around, ordering: "Atsushi, call Kunikida, now everyone, absolutely do not go out!"

Nakajima Atsushi took out his mobile phone in a panic, but he did not waste too much time. However, after he made the call, he was a little overwhelmed and said to the two seniors of the detective agency who already knew the answer: "Mr. Kunikida said that Mr. Tanizaki and his sister went out to buy dinner for everyone."

"Tsk." Edogawa Ranpo did not complain about anything.

He did not explain clearly when he went out just now, not to mention that he took Dazai Osamu with him because of Dazai Osamu's ability to be ineffective. He took Nakajima Atsushi with him for his offensive power and to train Nakajima Atsushi.

Because he showed this, and because the Tanizaki siblings have the ability to protect themselves, not to mention that the detective agency has often encountered such things before, everyone's sense of crisis is not that strong.

They, including Edogawa Ranpo himself, did not take the group too seriously before.

If it was just a group, it would be fine, but what if it is related to the port mafia who knows about the Armed Detective Agency?

Edogawa Ranpo glanced at Dazai Osamu, whose face also became serious, and gave the next order to Nakajima Atsushi: "Contact Tanizaki and ask him to return to the detective agency as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Nakajima Atsushi answered Edogawa Ranpo with honorifics and dialed Tanizaki's number. As a result, Tanizaki Junichiro, who always answered the phone quickly, waited until Nakajima Atsushi dialed the third call before answering it.

Before Nakajima Atsushi could even open his mouth, he heard the familiar gentle voice from the other side, which at this moment became as terrifying as a demon.

Tanizaki Junichiro said: "... I'm not in the mood to talk to you now. No matter what urgent matter you have--"

Nakajima Atsushi was startled, but he didn't expect Edogawa Ranpo to snatch his phone directly: "Tanizaki, stay where you are, Naomi will be fine."

Edogawa Ranpo's words are obviously more credible than Nakajima Atsushi, plus the other party has the ability to make the members of the detective agency trust him.

Normally, Tanizaki Junichiro would obey orders. However, this time it was related to his sister Naomi, and his rationality disappeared in an instant.

Even if it was one minute, half a minute-even if Mr. Ranpo could rush over as quickly as possible, Tanizaki Junichiro couldn't wait even a second.

Tanizaki Junichiro watched Ranpo Edogawa go out. With Ranpo's speed, no matter how fast he ran, it would take at least ten minutes for him to come back. Tanizaki Junichiro couldn't wait that long.

He was worried that if he was a second late, Naomi would be in trouble. Therefore, Tanizaki Junichiro's breathing across the phone was still anxious. He replied to Ranpo Edogawa: "Sorry, Mr. Ranpo." Ranpo Edogawa

looked at the hung up phone, his eyes were bulging with anger - this might be the first time someone dared to hang up on him.

But he could understand Tanizaki's mood at the moment. Edogawa Ranpo grabbed his hair and didn't waste any more time: "Anyway, let's go back now!"

Tanizaki would burst out with an unprecedented momentum because of his sister. Whether it was killing people or destroying the world, as long as it was related to his sister, no matter what, Tanizaki Junichiro would do it.

Originally, he was going out alone, but there were more ordinary members who stayed behind, and it would be troublesome for him to buy dinner by himself. In addition, he could never stop his sister, so when she spoke and followed him on her own, no matter how stern Tanizaki Junichiro used, it was difficult for him to let Naomi go back.

But Tanizaki Junichiro didn't expect that he just turned around and his sister disappeared from his sight.

At this moment, Junichiro Tanizaki's ordinary face looked like a demon. He was not looking for the enemy mindlessly, but was looking at the people around him with a purpose -

who was it? It was their attack! How could it be? There was no breath!

Damn it? ! Where is it! Give Naomi back to me! !

It was the time when ordinary people were getting off work, and the roadside was full of innocent passers-by - but this also made it convenient for Junichiro Tanizaki to find the enemy.

Junichiro Tanizaki's positioning was actually quite vague. His ability was not offensive, but a true and false illusion. And this ability was the most suitable ability for assassination.

Except for Dopo Kunikida, the people in the detective agency were basically not righteous people in the conventional sense. Junichiro Tanizaki doesn't usually show this, but he is never the least dangerous.

In some ways, he is even more dangerous than the martial arts school's Kenji Miyazawa.

Because of his superpowers, his training method is also related to aura - he will erase his own existence in his superpowers, and therefore, he has a certain advantage in distinguishing other people's auras.

"——I found you!" Even with so many obstacles, Junichiro Tanizaki immediately found the enemy! He caught the enemy who made his sister disappear.

The next moment, the scene in front of his eyes changed.

"Welcome to Annie's room." The enemy who took away his sister said to him with a smile.

Edogawa Ranpo had returned to the vicinity of the detective agency at the fastest speed. He easily deduced the location of Tanizaki Junichiro in his mind, and found the enemy's traces faster than Tanizaki Junichiro.

The space system is really annoying! With this thought in mind, Edogawa Ranpo pulled Nakajima Atsushi and stepped into [Annie's room].

This special ability can bring people around into a different space, so people will disappear without a trace - no, not without a trace. Although there is no trace of Kenji Miyazawa's disappearance, the trace of the owner of the special ability, Lucy Maud Montgomery, will not disappear.

Lucy Maud Montgomery, a member of the group. She captured Kenji Miyazawa and Naomi Tanizaki, and today, she also missed picking up an unconscious "Ranpo Edogawa".

But she never expected that after missing one in the afternoon, she would see another identical figure again at dusk.

For a moment, Lucy even doubted that she was born, twins?

But the data did not show that.

Because of his relationship with the port mafia, Dazai Osamu left halfway to do other things. But even if Dazai Osamu was there, his ability might not be effective in this alien space. Because Lucy herself also entered this space.

If the deactivation is used, the effect can only be achieved before Lucy comes in. Before meeting Lucy, Ranpo Edogawa is not sure whether this spatial ability can release the people imprisoned in the space because Dazai Osamu has eliminated the supernatural power. The greater possibility is that Dazai Osamu can only prevent Lucy from using her supernatural power.

Tanizaki Junichiro was a little surprised when he saw Ranpo Edogawa and Nakajima Atsushi, but he immediately explained the situation at the moment -

but this explanation only needs to be explained to Nakajima Atsushi. The moment Ranpo Edogawa came in, he understood everything.

His eyes fell on the small room.

In addition to the captured Kenji Miyazawa and Naomi Tanizaki, a face he is most familiar with is also among them.

Without a hat, Ranpo's already messy hair was even more obvious. He was controlled by the doll's huge hand, his hands and feet were restrained and suspended in the air, his brows slightly wrinkled.

He tilted his head, and there were horrible marks on the side of his neck as if he had been scratched by something - and this was not the injury caused by Annie's room.

He couldn't wait too long. Edogawa Ranpo confirmed this and directly began to order Tanizaki Junichiro and Nakajima Atsushi to leave this supernatural space!

"Atsushi, Tanizaki!"

Shi Wu didn't know what happened outside. After being attacked by Yumeno Hisasaku, his consciousness was cut off and he fell into darkness.

It's not an adjective, it's real - it's pitch black.

But Shi Wu didn't realize this, he felt a little confused.

It's like Ishikawa Takuboku can use his special ability on Toki himself, and capture his past before he lost his memory. This kind of psychic special ability is hard to guard against, so the system can only make up for it in the last "recording" and replace it with the experience of the previous world.

Yumeno Hisasaku, codenamed "Q", has the special ability of "Brain Hell", which invades the target's mind with hallucinations.

This time, the system cut off the synchronization of body and consciousness at the fastest speed, but Toki was still affected to a certain extent.

But perhaps this is the only benefit of amnesia. Toki did not face the memories he had lost. He didn't even remember what the most desperate and painful thing was for him.

"Brain Hell" only had time to bring out the negative emotions in his heart.

Shi Wu couldn't see anything. He curled up and hid in a small corner of his consciousness. He couldn't feel anything, but he still felt so sad.

He couldn't remember anything and had no memory - but the suffocating feeling of being drowned in the depths of the sea still made Shi Wu feel unbearable.

Amnesia would give a person the protection of the subconscious, but it also made him much more fragile. It

was so uncomfortable and painful. It felt like even his breathing became uncomfortable, as if someone was strangling him and he was going to die.

In this world of consciousness that belonged only to him, Shi Wu curled himself up even tighter.

[*&…%￥%!! ]

"Dazai hasn't come back yet!" Edogawa Ranpo shouted with a frown. Ordinary members have been protected and transferred to another place. Just ten minutes ago, Junichiro Tanizaki and Atsushi Nakajima teamed up to defeat the enemy group and rescued everyone.

It was just that Naomi Tanizaki and Kenji Miyazawa were fine, but Tokimura has not woken up yet.

The mark on the side of the neck was so obvious that Ranpo Edogawa couldn't help but cover that place with his hand, trying to make it invisible.

The child lying on the bed in the infirmary had his brows wrinkled all the time. Anyone could feel his pain and despair at the moment, but no one could do anything about it.

Except for Dazai Osamu, who was still determining the location of Q.

Dazai Osamu's ability has certain limitations. For example, in this case, he cannot touch Shiwu to end the effect of the ability. Instead, he must find Q and invalidate the doll that Q carries with him.

"Why is Dazai so slow!" Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help but complain again.

Shiwu couldn't understand his sadness at the moment, but no matter how fragile he was, Shiwu was still Shiwu after all. He was never an ordinary person, and he never needed to be saved.

[*&&%￥%@#￥！ ！]

Speaking of which, he has been able to hear the garbled sound of electronic current since just now.

[————]

Hmm?

[%#￥…………Connection successful! ]

The familiar electronic sound of the system rang, and the moment he heard this sound, Shiwu immediately escaped from the original pure darkness.

[I'm back. 】

At this moment, except for the past before death, all memories after encountering the system came flooding back. The

negative emotions caused by the "brain hell" slowly dissipated from his heart.

On the one hand, his heart told him that the system was not human, it had no feelings, and could not be trusted.

But on the other hand, perhaps it was the chicks plot, perhaps it was because he had been rescued once, or perhaps it was the companionship since these worlds, Shi Wu didn't even notice that he was acting coquettishly to the inhuman system that he didn't trust and had returned to his side.

He said, "I feel a little sad."

"Can you say a word to comfort me?"

The originally mechanized system was silent for a long time, as if this command was not in his settings.

Shi Wu waited for a while and got no reply, which made him a little disappointed.

Resisting "Brain Hell" consumed Shi Wu's spirit, and his consciousness began to become blurred, but just when he had such emotions, the system's thin and cold electronic voice rang in his mind again.

He said: [Thank you for your hard work. 】

In his consciousness, Shi Wu blinked in surprise. Although this comfort was very simple and ordinary, Shi Wu still felt satisfied, and the corners of his mouth curled up and he smiled.

Therefore, he did not hear that after the system paused for a long time and made sure that he was asleep, it whispered his real name before he lost his memory as if talking to itself.

[... Muichiro. ]

Edogawa Ranpo immediately noticed that Shi Wu's mood had stabilized. He subconsciously pulled open Shi Wu's collar, but found that the black scratches on it did not disappear, and even became deeper. Edogawa Ranpo

's face turned extremely ugly in an instant.

He couldn't understand.

Why do you smile with relief when you see despair?

The author has something to say: Shi Wu: No, it's not what you think. Let me explain.
