Chapter 37: Ming Shen Yong Eternal 13

The car was silent and the air was depressing, but Hoshino Nozomi was accustomed to such silence.

Most of the time, this is the atmosphere in the ward.

He leaned against the car door, looking at the blurry scenery outside the window, thinking about how to make it better.

After hanging up the phone with the detective agency, Hoshino Nozomi called Edogawa Ranpo but no one answered. Later, Ijichi announced a new mission, and the missing victims happened to be these two acquaintances.

So Hoshino Nozomi took on the task, and the only surprise was that this will assessment was successful.

I had to abandon the speech I had prepared and think of a new one.

The car continued to move forward.

The cool wind poured into the car through the open windows, making people feel refreshed, but Ijichi wanted to raise his hand to wipe the sweat off his face.

Raiden Ying sat beside him, looking out the window at the rapidly receding street scene. Edogawa Ranpo and Nakajima Atsushi sat in the back seat. White Tiger's calf had recovered a lot, and he didn't focus on the injury, but secretly glanced at the woman in front of him.

The purple hair on her temples fluttered in the wind like withered cherry blossoms.

Nakajima Atsushi glanced at Edogawa Ranpo again. The detective was texting the president and was not looking at him for the time being.

The carriage was as silent as an empty tomb, with only the sound of the wind howling.

No one spoke before Lei Dianying spoke.

When Gojo Satoru arrived, Raiden had already successfully controlled the cursed spirit. The thing he was worried about did not happen, but another unexpected thing happened.

"My sister... doesn't want to come out."

There was a flash of panic in Lei Dianying's eyes, but it only lasted for a moment, and he soon returned to his original calm.

She only said that one sentence, then stopped talking and turned to look in the direction of the cursed spirit. Gojo Satoru walked over, and when they passed by, he raised his hand and patted her shoulder lightly.

"Don't think about that for now."

Gojo Satoru controlled the real person and went back to find Principal Yega to seal him first. The remaining three people were naturally brought back to the high school by Ijichi.

From the moment he got in the car until now, Lei Dianying has not said a word.

Everyone present knew about the dual personality issue, and their minds became more active because of her unusual words.

After Edogawa Ranpo finished communicating with the president, he thought back to what had just happened.

Before Gojo Satoru arrived, he learned from Ijichi about a certain switching incident - after exorcising the cursed spirit, Raiden-Kage switched personalities in front of his students and him.

Combined with this incident, he has already determined the opportunity for the Thunder movie switch.

...If we can ensure that the real personality only appears after the battle, there is no need to worry about Lei Ying being hurt.

So, why was the lightning really unwilling to appear this time?

Before, when Gojo Satoru took off Rogo's head, Raiden Shin had pointed out that he and Ying were hiding something from her. She was unhappy at the time, perhaps because she was angry at Raiden Ying's concealment.

The hidden thing was probably related to the things she wanted to recycle.

Because it was dangerous, he didn't want to make his elder sister worry; because it was dangerous, he would get angry and worried about his younger sister's secret, but in the end he couldn't vent his anger.

Thinking of the ending of Wendy's death, Edogawa Ranpo's mood suddenly became heavy.

When Dazai came back that night, he talked to him about the mysterious existence that made Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's supernatural powers change, and the "demon" Fyodor behind it. Dazai didn't say much, he was not a person with rich emotions or showing emotions, only the apple on the table foreshadowed Wendy's ending.

At least so far, the purposes of Wendy and Ray's actions have not conflicted with the detective agency, not to mention that Ray just rescued them from the cursed spirit.

Edogawa Ranpo turned off his phone.

He didn't want Ray Film to end up like Wendy.

But she had hidden it from her own sister, so there was no way she could tell them.

However, even if we cannot get to know the truth, it would be good to be able to provide some assistance.

I don't know what the progress is with Dazai Osamu... Last time we talked on the phone, Dazai Osamu only said that he had a clue but didn't reveal what it was. I'll find out the situation when I have time.

Besides, there is another problem.

Edogawa Ranpo stared at the purple hair flying in the wind.

When he learned that Lei Ying had dual personality, he did not have any special thoughts. However, after several consecutive contacts, he found that Lei Ying's feelings for the other personality were far stronger than those of other patients of the same type.

In particular, Lei Denying's panic and strong sense of despair at that moment were so real, as if she had seen a similar scene before.

Edogawa Ranpo thought of a possibility.

Raiden was a real person who died a long time ago. After that, Raiden, unwilling to accept reality, imagined a second personality and brought his "sister" back again.

Diseases that others avoid are, for Ray Films, a dream come true.

But no matter how beautiful the dream is, there will always be a day when you wake up.

How can something illusory be held in the palm of one's hand forever?

Edogawa Ranpo silently looked away.

He didn't know what to say.

Ijichi drove the car to the high school quickly and got out first: "Mr. Nakajima, please follow me. I will take you to see Ms. Glass."

"Mr. Edogawa... Miss Ying, if you don't mind, please take him to the reception room."

Lei Dianying nodded and suddenly said, "I haven't met her yet."

"Ms. Glass?" Ijichi explained, "Ms. Ying has just arrived and has always been protected in the academy. She doesn't need to go on missions and rarely moves around. It's normal that you haven't seen her before."

Lei Dianying did not ask further.

Edogawa Ranpo stared at her expression and noticed her momentary daze.

Ray Movie: "Let's go."

Edogawa followed her in silence for a long time. When they reached the reception room, he sat on the sofa and suddenly said, "It's obviously a very simple matter."

Lei Dianying glanced at him, without answering, but without interrupting either.

"If everyone could speak their mind, there would definitely be fewer unnecessary arguments and misunderstandings in this world." Ranpo Edogawa said in a flat tone, as if he was just saying it casually.

Silence spread in the room, and you could hear a pin drop.

Lei Movie: "..."

Edogawa Ranpo: "..."

Answer the call.

He pressed his hat: "What do you think?"

“Maybe.”

Edogawa Ranpo wanted to hit the sofa.

He is really not suitable for this!

The detective decided to make it clear: "Your sister doesn't need your protection."

Lei Dianying's eyes flashed: "In the past..."

"In the past, I have always protected my sister, and she has always accepted my protection. Although I feel helpless when my sister gets angry, I still don't think there is anything wrong with such behavior." Edogawa Ranbu continued with a rapid-fire conversation.

Lei Dianying shut up silently.

"In your eyes, is Miss Zhen completely useless and unable to survive without you?"

"Of course not," Lei Dianying blurted out, "Sister is very talented. Even if she is not good at martial arts, she can still occupy a place with her wisdom."

Edogawa Ranpo tilted his head: "Don't you know this?"

Raiden Ying stood up suddenly, and Gojo Satoru happened to come in from the door: "Where are you going, Xiaoying?"

He put his hands on Lei Dianying's shoulders and pressed her back onto the sofa.

"Wait a minute, I have something to say."
