"…The setting of 'blindness' has no meaning at all."

Shi Wu adjusted his bangs a little. The hair of this vest seemed to be difficult to manage. No matter how he smoothed it, it always felt messy.

He used a different perspective from usual to look at the "shadows" all over the street, and complained in his heart.

Although he couldn't see the faces of the people clearly, even with his eyes closed, the height, weight, identity, speed and direction of the steps of these people passing by, and the location they were heading to would appear in his brain in an instant, and naturally turned into a picture like thermal imaging.

What's more, Shi Wu himself can easily perceive even the slightest movement - ah, but after changing the vest, I don't know if the reaction ability of this body is as good as my original one.

Shi Wu pinched his thin and skinny arms, which currently had no muscle at all, and came to the answer with some regret.

This vest man is as the name suggests, a petite and soft detective.

However, AI without human emotions will not understand the casual self-talk of humans. A mechanical voice appeared in his mind, answering Shi Wu's complaints that did not need an answer at all.

[Answer: Because the IQ of "Edogawa Ranpo" is far higher than 99.99% of humans, blindness does not reduce his reasoning ability. Through other non-visual perceptions, he can still maintain his normal daily life, including reasoning cases.

The "thermal imaging" you are currently seeing is just a picture formed after the brain automatically makes on-site reasoning. 】

Yes, that's right, the name of Shi Wu's current detective vest is Edogawa Ranpo.

"Oh." Shi Wu responded indifferently, and then as if he remembered something, he asked again: "By the way, is this world different from my last world?"

[Answer: The last world comes from the "possible world of if" in "Bungo Stray Dogs", and the world you are currently in is the "main world." ]

"I see." Shi Wu closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. After all, the breathing method of a petite detective is quite different from that of a professional with special training.

At first, Shi Wu was still a little uncomfortable, but as he drew more and more types of vests, he became more and more proficient in fine-tuning the details.

Shi Wu, male, was possessed by the system after his death a year ago. After removing those technical terms, a simple translation is -

"Young man, do you want to be resurrected? The chance to be resurrected is right in front of you. It doesn't cost three or four thousand, nor one or two thousand. It only costs 998. It really only costs 998. If you don't agree today, you won't be able to find it tomorrow! You can't buy a loss or be cheated with 998!"

Shi Wu didn't know whether he had a brain seizure or what, but he agreed inexplicably... He agreed, anyway, he was already dead, and he could be resurrected if he succeeded. For him, it was a no-cost business that made steady profits.

As for the so-called vest, it is an identity that can be drawn once every time a task is completed.

Is it similar to the card drawing mechanism in some games?

It's a pity that I don't know whether Toki is a lucky guy or a bad guy. He always happens to draw the discarded version of the SSR in the card pool.

Yes, that's right, the discarded version. Some are missing arms and legs or blind and deaf. In short, basically none of them are normal and intact.

But, even if it is a discarded version of SSR, it is still SSR after all. Except for this minor problem, the other attributes are far beyond those of R and SR cards. So Toki, who is used to high efficiency, naturally chooses this part of the card.

This time, Toki still chose the incomplete version of SSR [Blind. Edogawa Ranpo].

This card is a high-level account with max IQ. The only minor flaw is invisible. Because of the extremely high IQ and analytical reasoning ability, it is easy to model similar scene data in the brain through the movements around him.

Just like now, five meters away from him, there is a person running towards him, and the target is...

eh? The target is me? Shi Wu was stunned.

"Mr. Ranpo! How did you get here?" Nakajima Atsushi panted twice. The tiger transformation ability made his physical strength far beyond that of ordinary people. Within two seconds, his breathing stabilized and he said anxiously: "Mr. Kunikida is still waiting for you!"

This voice... ah, it's that white death god. The argument of the parallel world is really interesting. Is the white death god in this world actually the one standing in the sun?

"...Work? That kind of thing is too boring." Using the character's personality, Shiwu casually said: "At that level, just leave it to Kunikida."

"But--" Nakajima Atsushi obviously wanted to say something.

Shiwu naturally interrupted him: "Don't you trust my judgment?"

"...I understand." Nakajima Atsushi sighed, took out his phone and contacted Kunikida Doppo who had been waiting on the other side: "Mr. Kunikida, I found Mr. Ranpo, but Mr. Ranpo said..."

"Give me the phone." Shiwu squinted and stretched out his hand.

I don't know if he was used to being ordered, but with just one sentence, Nakajima Atsushi's body was faster than his brain, and he directly handed the phone to Shiwu's hand.

The voice on the other side was that of a very calm and mature man. He obviously heard what was happening here, so he asked in confusion: "Mr. Ranpo?"

"Oh, yes, it's me. This time, I remember the job was..."

The man on the other side naturally continued the conversation and answered: "It's a murder case that the police can't handle. The victim was killed by the river..."

Kunikida Doppo told Tokino all the clues he knew so far without any preparation.

It is obvious that Edogawa Ranpo has a very high status in their hearts.

After getting this information, Tokino analyzed the case at the same time. After saying a few key clues, he said in a natural tone: "Just pay attention to these things. Kunikida, you can solve it alone. There is no need for me to go over there!"

"I understand." Kunikida Doppo answered, without any doubt or denial.

"Then, I'll ask this guy to take me back - oh, by the way, where is that store I liked before? Let's go there."

"Okay, please return the phone to Atsushi, I'll tell him the address."

"Ok, Atsushi! Kunikida wants to see you!" Tokiwa handed the phone over with a smile.

Because of his tiger transformation ability, Atsushi Nakajima has very sensitive ears in his daily life. Even if it was not intentional, the conversation between the two people on the phone was heard by him.

So there was no need for Kunikida Dopo to repeat himself, Nakajima Atsushi understood what he was going to do next.

After the call was hung up, Nakajima Atsushi began to lead the way for the only real detective in the detective agency as usual, "Mr. Ranpo, let's go."

"Okay." Shi Wu smiled with his eyes narrowed, but he was sighing in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would have changed his vest - this vest loves to smile too much, and it is a bit tiring to keep such a smile.

After Nakajima Atsushi paid for a bunch of snacks, on the way back to the detective agency, Nakajima Atsushi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Um, Mr. Ranpo?"

"What? Do you have any questions for me? Atsushi."

"It's just... um, is Mr. Ranpo playing shadow-stepping?" Nakajima Atsushi turned his head and looked at the detective who had been following him instead of walking in front of him as usual even if he got lost.

"That's right." Shi Wu stepped on the place where Nakajima Atsushi had just walked, and said with a smile: "If it was on the beach, you would find that there would only be your footprints along the way, Atsushi?"

"Huh?" Nakajima Atsushi was stunned at first, then smiled and said: "As expected of Mr. Ranpo!"

- But the fact is that even he would get tired if he kept analyzing and modeling scenes in his mind. Therefore, following Nakajima Atsushi, walking where he has walked, and emptying your mind is the best choice.

He probably understood why this alias liked desserts so much. With Edogawa Ranpo's IQ, the energy consumed by the brain when reasoning, thinking and analyzing is not what ordinary people can imagine. And sweets can replenish this part of physical strength to the greatest extent - well, there is another reason, desserts are really delicious.

Shiwu himself does not hate it, but he is not as addicted to sweets as Edogawa Ranpo.

"We are back!" After returning to the detective agency, Nakajima Atsushi did not notice that there was something wrong with Mr. Ranpo behind him.

Shiwu naturally took the position of the real detective, holding the snacks bought by Nakajima Atsushi, observing the situation around him.

In the last world, he was on the side of the Hong Kong underworld and left very quickly, so he didn't know the settings of the detective agency... Moreover, the White Death has come here, and the basic situation in the last world can only be used as a reference, and cannot be fully trusted.

However, at present, except for Nakajima Atsushi, he didn't "see" anyone familiar. Did they go out on field work?

"Huh? Has Mr. Ranpo returned?" After a while, a voice as elegant and magnetic as a cello came from the door.

Shi Wu, who didn't care much about the visitor, froze after hearing this voice.

"Ah, Mr. Dazai!" Nakajima Atsushi blinked and said obediently, "Speaking of which, Mr. Kunikida was looking for you before he left."

"What, Kunikida-kun..."

As for what they said afterwards, Shi Wu didn't pay attention to it. With the appearance of this voice, the psychological shadow that had not been completely eliminated in the last world reappeared in Shi Wu's mind.

——It's really you! My last vest! Dazai Osamu in a wheelchair! !
