Chapter 11



After knowing the existence of supernatural powers, Shi Wu did imagine the existence of healing supernatural powers.

But compared with Xie Ye Akiko's supernatural power, it still exceeded his expectations - this ability to completely heal as long as the person is on the verge of death, and the ability to regenerate broken limbs...

Ma Jia's eyes are an exception, and this point cannot be compared at all.

Shi Wu touched his neck, which became intact in an instant. Because he could not see, Shi Wu, who had excellent perception ability, became more sensitive to the changes in his body.

He did not feel any pain, and a warmth that could not be described in words spread from the wound to his heart.

This powerful healing ability... is really too gentle. Shi Wu thought.

Under the light, the glass ball in the eye seemed a little dim because the owner lowered his head. Shi Wu couldn't help but think again, if he also had this ability, then wouldn't it be...

But this is simply - it doesn't seem impossible? As long as he is lucky enough to draw the card with Xie Ye Akiko!

Speaking of which!

Shi Wu recalled the time when he had just cut with Xie Ye Akiko's scalpel, but he didn't feel any pain at all. Because the vest had not been injured before, Shi Wu was not sure if this time was an exception or the vest simply couldn't feel pain.

But it could also be that the system did it?

He thought so, and the system replied to him in the same way.

After getting the answer, Shi Wu's mouth corners curled up a little, and his originally cold expression became much gentler at this moment.

No one likes pain, at least Shi Wu doesn't like it - but next time you do this, tell him in advance.

Shi Wu almost didn't react just now.

Then he realized that even if he was told in advance, he couldn't act out that feeling.

Shi Wu, who was quite aware of his acting skills, was very open-minded. Anyway, it was already like this, so he might as well not think too much about it.

His origins were quite strange, and Shi Wu was not surprised that they needed some time to study his identity - to be honest, he himself couldn't figure out the identity of this vest.

His thoughts were interrupted because there was a sudden knock on the door.

Through the door, the voice of the boy outside seemed a little dull: "It's me, Nakajima Atsushi, um...can I come in?"

Because he didn't know the name, Nakajima Atsushi could only use awkward syllables instead.

Tokiwa narrowed his eyes, buttoned up his shirt, and said cheerfully, "Of course you can, Atsushi!"

Nakajima Atsushi breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door, and saw the blood-stained bed and "Mr. Ranpo" sitting on it with his legs swinging. Nakajima Atsushi,

who was already extremely timid, gasped. He didn't know how to express his feelings at this moment -

this was not the first time he had tried the treatment method with Dr. Yosano, and he certainly knew what the infirmary would look like after the "treatment". Last time, Dr. Yosano treated him several times with an electric saw. Compared to that time, the infirmary now can be considered clean and tidy.

But, but...

Unlike everyone else, Nakajima Atsushi is a newcomer who has just joined the detective agency not long ago. He cannot easily separate Tokiwa and Ranpo Edogawa. So subconsciously, his attitude towards Tokiwa is the same as his usual attitude towards Edogawa Ranpo.

At this moment, the man sitting on the blood-stained white bed had a cute smile on his face, but he didn't notice that there was still blood on his cheek that had not been wiped clean.

No, it's not that this picture looks like a bloody doll in a horror movie. The temperament of "Mr. Ranpo" is no different from what you usually feel, and there is no fear that makes people want to retreat.

It's just... I inexplicably feel that this picture shouldn't be like this. Nakajima Atsushi thought, "Mr. Ranpo" shouldn't be injured, and shouldn't be placed in the same space with blood that represents wounds and pain.

"Mr. Ranpo" is best suited to lazily sitting on the sofa, holding his favorite snacks and pastries, and doing whatever he wants to do.

Shi Wu was not surprised by the quiet atmosphere. In the previous world, the White Death was not a very talkative type.

So Shi Wu was the one who took the initiative to break the silence, and said in a curious tone: "How did Atun get into the detective agency?"

By the way, let him confirm the difference between this world and the previous world, where it started.

Nakajima Atsushi was stunned for a moment, and after the awkward atmosphere was broken, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly with some embarrassment: "It's not an interesting story..."

Although he said so, Nakajima Atsushi still briefly told the story that happened to him while tidying up the room.

He was kicked out of the orphanage, and then was picked up by Dazai Osamu, so he joined the detective agency -

so the problem is indeed with Dazai Osamu. Tokiwa analyzed the answer instantly.

Both Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo's alias are very smart people. Even though Tokiwa is not good at this, the instinct of his brain still helps him get the answer.

If he is willing to think about it, he can easily guess the answer at the beginning. It's just that he didn't care much at first, so he didn't analyze these things together.

First of all, the system's habit is to use a dead person to appear in front of close relatives and friends, and then complete the task through a moment of raised emotions.

At the beginning of this mission, the system recommended [Oda Sakunosuke] to him.

At that time, Shiwu was still unsure of who Oda Sakunosuke was related to, but now, through Nakajima Atsushi's words, he was sure.

As expected, he was a relative of Dazai Osamu, and a very close one.

In the previous world, the White Death had had such a conversation with him.

【“I don’t know who the person you see is…” The young man in a black windbreaker, his golden eyes filled with broken sorrow, “Mr. Dazai, your plan has never failed. I thought I would never have the chance to see you again—”

“But, but…” The white-haired boy’s voice was trembling uncontrollably, and there was an imperceptible glimmer of hope: “You protected this fragile world for that person. You said your regret was that you had never read the novel written by that person…! Even if it was for him or for that novel…!”

“If it’s because of the ‘book’—I’m willing to exchange the opportunity you left behind!”

However, after looking at the black-haired young man sitting in the wheelchair, the boy couldn’t continue talking. Perhaps from the beginning, he knew that his fantasy would never come true.

The boy's originally clear voice became hoarse, almost squeezed out word by word from his throat. He closed his eyes and lowered his head: "...That novel must be very exciting."

"Are you willing to stay a little longer...? Even if it's just for that novel that you have been looking forward to for a long time and have not yet read..."

The answer is of course no. Because the system kept urging him to leave at that time.

He didn't pay attention at the time, but now thinking about it carefully, the system's reaction at that time was not right, as if if he didn't leave quickly, it would lead to some uncontrollable consequences.

The "book" and "novel" in the mouth of the White Death are not the same thing.

The abnormality of the system, the White Death exchanged himself for his staying - it was enough to make up a whole story.

This world is so complicated. How could there be a world where knowing something beyond a certain number of people would lead to destruction?

Shi Wu emptied his mind again. Because of the vest, all these thoughts were not enough to burn his brain, nor did he feel tired. The sheer amount of information in it made Shi Wu feel helpless.

"Fortunately, I didn't choose the vest of [Oda Sakunosuke]." Shi Wu said to the system: "That's the person that Dazai Osamu was willing to protect in the entire world, but in this world, he is in a state of death."

"With the self-destructive mentality of the above vest, I can't imagine the scene where Dazai Osamu sees Oda Sakunosuke, but because of his ability to invalidate, he disappears the moment he touches him."

Dazai Osamu is too smart.

If Tokiwa had chosen [Oda Sakunosuke] and stayed for a while longer, then Dazai Osamu would have doubted his identity, the possibility that he was an enemy, and the purpose of appearing in front of him.

However, the system's habit is to make quick decisions, and he will only show up for a while.

So with Dazai Osamu's suspicious but pessimistic personality, in a moment of emotional excitement, and Tokiwa appeared and disappeared, he became suspicious and vigilant, but no related enemy appeared.

He would definitely not be able to help but think - what if, the person he met at that time was really Oda Sakunosuke... Especially the personality of the vest is enough to make Tokiwa's personality exactly the same as his own.

Even if there is only a one in a billion possibility, even if Oda Sakunosuke himself has no desire to live, Dazai Osamu can't help but imagine in the most pessimistic direction.

Even if the possibility is extremely small, it means that he personally prevented Oda Sakunosuke from surviving.

——Because of his ineffective ability.

The author has something to say:

Shi Wu: To be honest, everyone is miserable, no one should say anything about anyone else.
