Chapter 121: Words Are Not Sinful
Time travel means going from the real world you think of to another world. Isn't it similar to some extent that Edogawa Ranpo and his companions entered the book and Pei Zhen came to the world of science? They all enter into the "story".
Maybe the current temptation is too clumsy, maybe there are still some things I haven't figured out, but it's like the decision I made on the night I came into this world - there must always be a first step.
He could put all his doubts behind him, make friends with the people here, build friendships with them, stand out in each plot, gain strength, and then truly integrate into it and feel happiness. There is nothing wrong with this. Happiness is an important criterion for people to exist in this world. Pei Zhen is also constantly adjusting his position in this world.
Nothing is absolutely right, especially on the road of life. The differences are only due to different choices. It is right to live a happy life, and it is also right to explore the source of everything. It just depends on your personal thoughts.
Just like Pei Zhen, he decided to pursue the path to solve all the mysteries in himself.
Elliot looked into the book and saw several people running fast in the villa at night. Whatever they choose to do is irrelevant, the plot just gives them a reason to stay in there. As long as they are active, they are equivalent to some variables when the world merges. The "amnesia" of other people in the villa was not his method, but the result of some spontaneous operation in order to maintain stability in the two worlds.
So, in the reality he lives in now, people have a good acceptance of supernatural powers, spells, royal power, crime, etc. I wonder if this factor is also a factor? Elliot thought so and walked in front of the big raccoon. His figure was so small, forming a sharp contrast with the raccoon that was almost ten stories tall, but he was so eye-catching that since he came here, he immediately became the center of the world.
"Kyosuke" withdrew his gaze from the two people downstairs. He had not read the book that Ranpo mentioned, but when he saw these two people coming to this villa, he actually had a slight sense of displeasure as if he was being invaded. Is it because "Blood at Dusk" is, after all, a work written by you? Even though the final cause of all this is still due to myself, I have been prepared for it, but I am still shaken. He savored his feeling and wrote it down.
Ranpo and the others had already guessed that this change might be the result of an experiment by a Transcendent. For some unknown reason, he wanted to blend two completely different story worlds together, and those of them who were invited in...
"Haha," Shinichi rubbed his head, "After all, I have experienced the process of solving the case. I really didn't expect that a book could form a world. I don't think it's a big deal. It's better than my last near-death experience. At least, it seems that the Excellency has ensured our safety. In addition, I think," he said thoughtfully, "shouldn't the person who should be invited to this kind of thing be that person?"
A light flashed in his eyes, and under the puzzled gazes of others, he said: "Author, author, you must be very excited to see what you wrote become reality with your own eyes?" Maybe I can even see him lose his composure, I really want to see it.
Ranpo said: "If the author comes in, this story will probably have no secrets for us. From the perspective of the high-level narrator, this case is presented in full to them." He looked at the "butler", who smiled at him: "And the author is one level higher than the reader, because there are some things that are not written down, but he knows them in his heart."
"Kyosuke" aka Pei Zhen stood there as if nothing had happened, having no influence at all as before.
"The fusion of the two worlds," Ranpo said calmly, "is a crazy move. Compared to merging into one, I believe that their original fate is to be completely shattered into a pile of chaos."
"Feelings?" He whispered, "What can we feel?" He pointed at the servant Pingzi below, looked directly at the "butler" and said, "What do you think she feels and what ideas can she have?"
Some people don't deserve to know what changes have taken place in the world.
The butler immediately laughed. "I see," he blinked and said, "I know what you mean."
He looked around at the people who were left behind. "I killed the doctor," he admitted very straightforwardly, "but don't think it was entirely my idea." Feeling a gaze fixed on him, he looked over there and saw that it was Morishima Ai who was looking at him with her deep black eyes. He smiled happily and said, "Perhaps you should be thankful for this, because if that guy had stayed, it would only make everything more complicated."
"Have you heard of a dark organization named after wine?" he suddenly asked.
Shinichi's previously calm smile froze instantly, and he tried his best to hide it and act as if nothing had happened.
As if he wasn't prepared to wait for an answer, the "Butler" continued, "That guy used to be a member of this organization. At first, he was unknown and a small role in the organization that was not noticed by others. Until later," he tilted his head at Shinichi with a meaningful expression on his face, "he used this organization as a sacrifice and a stepping stone to become the most important senior staff member under the director of the FBI in the United States. It can be said to be the fastest promotion speed in history. With such scheming and means, if he stayed here, can you imagine what he would do?"
Kudo Shinichi felt dizzy for a while, he finally knew the truth about the organization's demise. The demise of the Black Organization has always been the biggest mystery in his mind. He was "saved", but such a senseless "victory" made it impossible for him to return to his life peacefully. As Shinichi Kudo, he always kept this hidden worry in his heart as long as he did not know the truth about the demise of the organization. Because it is so beautiful, it seems like a dream.
He could no longer suppress his excitement, and asked hurriedly, "You mean, he solved the entire Black Organization? How did he do it? Was it also his doing to kill Gin in the battle on that train?"
Yes, that final ending was the first appearance of "Eliot", and it would be impossible to say that there was no connection between them. He was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. "Who is he?" he asked impatiently.
"Kyosuke" glanced at the "butler" and he could feel that Shinichi had contributed a large amount of light to him again this time.
"He has already stood in the sun, well, if the secret members of the FBI can be considered in the sun," the "Butler" thought, "After knowing this, I think it should not be difficult for you to find out his identity." The "Butler" who broke the news without hesitation continued, "That guy still has a lot of work waiting for him in real life. He probably left because he didn't want to play house with you. So, the death of the 'doctor' is not my fault~"
Morishima Ai remained motionless, she felt that the guy's last words were directed at her. At this point, she didn't mind showing them that she understood everything they had revealed. As long as they don't cover up their words or confuse people's cognition, it's not difficult to understand what they are saying. She said calmly: "You mean to say that the man is not a doctor, and his death is not a real death, but he returned to your own world?"
"Yes." The "butler" nodded with a smile.
"What about the doctor at the beginning?" Morishima Ai closed her eyes. She didn't know what she was longing for. "What about Dr. Ikei, who is going to help me?"
"No," the "butler" rudely tore off the curtain and said with a nasty smile: "Your existence is just born. At the beginning, he was the doctor. Where did the so-called 'most original' doctor come from?"
He watched every move of Morishima Ai.
Morishima Ai's body shook, and everything in the past was turned into chaos in her mind. If even the doctor did not exist, then everything that had happened to her in the past, and the deep hatred that came with it... tears flowed from her eyes.
"Hey," Shinichi couldn't help but say, "You know so much about this place and the person who destroyed the Black Organization, and you like to play with people's hearts so much. Could it be that you are..."
"Hate him?" The "Butler" ignored him and gently guided him, "To the person who caused all this, to the person who set up all your tragedies, just a few words determined all the pain in your first half of life. Can he really understand you?"
"Hey!" Shinichi realized something, his brows furrowed, and he became alert. "What are you talking about?"
Morishima Ai opened her eyes and stared at her. Her eyes washed by tears looked particularly deep and profound. “If I am really in a book, then the person who wrote all the words must have created all the people.”
"But are the people who wrote the words really the ones who caused my tragedy?" Her voice was not heavy, but light and with a faint smile: "I have also written some short stories for entertainment. The fates of some people in them are also tragic, but I have no ill will towards them. On the contrary, I quite like those people who were created."
"Many people in this world like to write stories, good, bad, wonderful, depressing," she lowered her eyebrows, "Words are not guilty, because the people who write them know, and the people who read them also know, that these are all fake. Tragedy is fake, but the sadness it brings to people is real. Comedy is also fake, but the joy it brings to people is real."
"So," she turned away, and in the dim light, the lines and contours of her face revealed a hint of profound meaning: "Who made all this come true?"
The sleepy raccoon outside the book couldn't help scratching his belly. Shinichi breathed a sigh of relief, but Ranpo was a little surprised: "So... it was Edgar Allan Poe's fault?" Thinking this way, it seems there is no problem?
