Chapter 13



Shi Wu easily integrated into the Armed Detective Agency, as if he had always been a member of it.

As for Shi Wu's own attitude, everyone in the detective agency, as they said in the meeting that day, regarded Shi Wu as another Mr. Ranpo.

The detective agency gave people a really good feeling, this kind of mutual trust, everyone has their own goals, Shi Wu felt that he was quite accustomed to it.

The weather seemed to be quite good today. When the warm sun shone on his face, Shi Wu blinked blankly. He always felt that he had forgotten something -

ah... he forgot the mission.

Shi Wu sometimes felt that he was quite strange. He himself did not have any particularly strong desire for resurrection, but he didn't know why, he always felt that something was pushing him from behind, asking him to complete the mission and survive.

[I can't die yet. 】

When the mood has ups and downs, this kind of inexplicable thoughts will come to the brain. However, he rarely has excessive mood swings, so this situation is relatively rare.

So, how should the task be completed?

Tokoyomi was a little troubled. Even if his current vest made his brain extraordinarily good, he seemed more accustomed to following other people's instructions rather than using his own brain.

It would be easier if the task was a more straightforward "go where and do what" task.

It's like "Destroy 10 cannon fodder enemies at location xxx, completion status (5/10)" in the game.

This way you will also know how much you have accomplished and how much you still lack. There will also be motivation.

But in reality, the system's task is to "collect the unknown energy left at xxx location, and complete the task (???/???)."

When it comes to related matters, the system is always silent, and Shiwu never intends to press questions. So the current situation is very awkward.

"Do you want to go out and play?" Edogawa Ranpo sneaked in from the door, his voice cheerful and joyful. Shiwu

has been very regular during this period of time, so he knows that a week has passed since he came to this world.

The system was quiet throughout this mood, and even when he was obviously slacking off, it never reminded him.

The influence of the vest on him may be greater than he expected. At least when using the Dazai Osamu vest, Shiwu will naturally go in the direction of pessimism and suspicion.

At that time, because the White Death realized that his actions were actually hurting others, he felt terrible about himself. At the same time, the so-called resurrection and the self-destructiveness of Dazai's vest conflicted with each other, which made him subconsciously feel that the system was AI, not human, and he shouldn't trust the system.

But now when using Edogawa Ranpo's vest, the system's behavior made Tokiwa think in a more gentle and optimistic way.

Tokiwa always felt that... the system seemed to be quite pleased with the fact that he was slacking off and being taken care of by everyone?

If you think about the system in this way, it seems that the system's behavior can be explained in another way.

Shi Wu left each of the previous worlds so quickly, not only because it was indeed faster and easier to collect energy this way, but also because he didn't want Shi Wu to know what his actions really meant.

He didn't want Shi Wu to realize the answer and have bad emotions like he did in the last world.

If Shi Wu hadn't realized this, he would have met the resurrection requirements in the fastest time according to the system's plan, and then he would have been resurrected happily without knowing anything.

But now, Shi Wu already knows the answer, so the system no longer hides this point, and doesn't even mind letting him relax in a comfortable environment, not showing that he cares so much about collecting energy like before.

After all, Shi Wu also knew that compared with the system, his plan was really troublesome and uncalculated, and the wasted time and energy required to stay in this world might not be rewarded - but the system never said no.

But he was overthinking... After all, the system is not human.

- Not human.

This point alone is enough for Shi Wu to put the system in the most dangerous position in his heart that requires vigilance.

However, is this point alone enough to ignore the other party's care for himself?

This is also something that Shi Wu has always been conflicted about. He obviously shouldn't trust the system - but at the beginning, he agreed to the binding in a daze, and later he naturally acted according to the system's ideas.

Perhaps it was because his brain was too active. Once he started, Tokiwa, who had never cared about these things, was unconsciously drawn into it.

"What are you thinking about?" Because Tokiwa had not answered him and was obviously in a daze, Edogawa Ranpo rested his chin on the desk with some dissatisfaction, and his tone was a little longer.

"Human... right?" Tokiwa answered uncertainly.

With the contrast of Edogawa Ranpo's same voice, it was easy to detect the difference in Tokiwa's tone.

"Human?" Realizing that this conversation might be more important, Edogawa Ranpo moved a chair and sat in front of Tokiwa, and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of these?"

Because the system had no intention of blocking him, Tokiwa also felt that Edogawa Ranpo's opinion would be very important - not to mention that the system never really required him to do anything.

So Tokiwa had no idea how to balance his own performance with the behavior that the vest should do.

He could naturally use the vest of [Edogawa Ranpo] and ask [Tokiwa] his own doubts.

However, before the doubts in his heart were about to be spoken, Tokiwa suddenly figured it out.

He realized that what he was thinking was meaningless.

Because if the system wanted to hurt him, it didn't have to be bound to him at all, he was already a dead man. Shiwu thought that he didn't have anything useful, so no matter what the ultimate goal of the system was, it didn't matter to him.

Shiwu himself didn't care, but Edogawa Ranpo frowned and wanted to get an answer.

——The attitude just now was obviously wrong! The world's number one detective shouted in his heart.

Super reasoning is not mind reading. Edogawa Ranpo is not wearing glasses now. Due to self-suggestion, his reasoning ability is mostly sealed by himself.

Shiwu didn't think there was anything he couldn't say. Edogawa Ranpo asked, and he answered.

"It's not a very important thing. I was just thinking about the relationship between humans and non-humans."

Edogawa Ranpo's eyes dimmed, but Tokiwa didn't notice this at all. He said whatever came to his mind, but at least he remembered to blur the existence of the system.

"So if you think about it carefully, it actually has nothing to do with me." Tokiwa's tone became lighter, and in line with the character of the vest,

he asked with a smile: "Let's go, where are we going?" This sentence was his response to the first sentence Edogawa Ranpo said when he came in.

Edogawa Ranpo held Tokiwa's hand, and the two had the same voice, and there was no difference in the tone, "Well - the store I like has a new dessert, but it is the most delicious if you taste it as soon as it is made!"

"And each person can only buy one per day!"

"I understand, let's go!" Tokiwa said happily.

Although he is not a sweet lover, under the guidance of the taste instinct of the vest, Shi Wu perfectly felt the deliciousness of desserts and is now slowly conquered by desserts.

"Atsushi, let's go!" This time, it was still Nakajima Atsushi who helped lead the way.

Nakajima Atsushi seemed to have gotten used to it.

Edogawa Ranpo led Shi Wu, and after a week of adaptation, and the fact that the two of them are actually the same person (referring to the vest), Shi Wu could easily understand Edogawa Ranpo's thoughts, so he could find his way by following Edogawa Ranpo's rhythm and habits without having to think.

Edogawa Ranpo really did the job of "eyes", and made Shi Wu unable to easily stare in a daze while walking.

Once he fell into his own world, he inadvertently ignored the less obvious and different atmosphere of Edogawa Ranpo.

There is a saying that goes, "A bystander sees more clearly than one involved in the situation."

Coincidentally, Ranpo Edogawa not only occupies the position of a bystander, but is also the person involved in the situation.

He understands himself and can see through others - with the blessing of these two, he clearly understands that "he" would not think of those things for no reason.

Since it is "something that has nothing to do with him", why would he fall into a short-term entanglement of emotions?

Either there was a relationship before he lost his memory, or... someone related to the other party (Toki) was involved, forcing him to think about this matter.

As for it being irrelevant, of course he doesn't need to continue thinking about it, that is to say, those important and related people have already...

Ranpo Edogawa glanced at the other self who had lost his eyes, and because of the relationship that the other party could not see, he took out his mobile phone openly and sent a message to Dazai Osamu.

[Dazai, look up "non-human". Dazai

looked at his mobile phone, then at the data he had found out in a week, and the expression on his face became a little subtle and complicated.

Mr. Ranpo, are you sure you didn't delay on purpose?

Although it's called a week, it's not that long. Most of the time, Dazai was

just slacking off. It's just that someone will send the data to him.

[The Vampire Duke - Bram Stoker, a count in Northern Europe.

Because of his superpowers, his cells mutated and he became a proto-human vampire.]

This vampire count was one of the ten disasters that destroyed mankind in the past, and eight years ago, he had his head chopped off by Sakura Fukuchi.

Of course - this information is not difficult to find, and I even heard that the government is planning to make a movie about their battle.

The only trouble is that the details are not convenient to determine.

However, things that have existed can be retrieved through memories through the exploration of supernatural powers.

So in this case, Dazai only cares about one thing.

He looked at the last sentence of this extremely official information.

[Fukuchi Sakurachi took away Bram Stoker's head.]

"Bram Stoker is known as the immortal count." Dazai Osamu exclaimed,

"Immortal..."

The author has something to say:

Shiwu: Someone fell asleep and couldn't wake up.

ps: Fukuchi Sakurachi is the big boss in the later period of Bunno. Through this vampire duke, many people have become vampires. The goal is to conquer the world (such a pure and unpretentious goal)
