Tokichi began to like Fukuzawa Yukichi a little.

Although his aura and other things made him feel a little uncomfortable, and his subconscious mind would produce a vigilant defense - but Tokichi knew very well that this was just an indelible mark because Fukuzawa Yukichi had practiced swordsmanship since he was a child.

Fukuzawa Yukichi never practiced "kendo" but "swordsmanship" to kill people.

But it's still the old saying, whether Fukuzawa Yukichi has killed anyone or not, it has nothing to do with Tokichi.

"Your relationship with the president has become good." Edogawa Ranpo was the first to notice this.

But it was he who brought it up in the first place, and Edogawa Ranpo didn't pay much attention to it. He just said, "By the way, the president has found a way to fulfill your commission."

Commission? Shi Wu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this commission referred to the "recovering memory" he had commissioned more than a week ago. It's

just that he himself didn't pay much attention to this. This period of time was too peaceful and easy, and there was nothing in his brain, resulting in him almost not remembering it now.

"Ah... superpowers?" Shi Wu asked subconsciously.

Although he didn't think much about it, the vest's brain was too cheating, and this level of thinking was not at all considered reasoning.

"Yes, it's a special ability user?" Edogawa Ranpo nodded, "The president still has some connections in the government. It's not difficult to find a special ability user related to memory."

For example, Ango Sakaguchi of the Special Power Division, his ability is to read the memories left on objects, and this ability is most suitable for collecting intelligence.

This type of non-offensive special ability user is a very valuable resource for the government - no, to be precise, the ability user itself is already a precious and special existence.

Fukuzawa Yukichi left the name "Silver Wolf" there because of his past work relationship. Later, he led Ranpo to solve tens of thousands of cases for the police, most of which were old unsolved cases. In addition, due to the special nature of the Armed Detective Agency, he still has a lot of face in front of those so-called "big shots".

So this time, Fukuzawa Yukichi also used this relationship to find a person with special abilities who might be able to help Tokiwa "recover his memory".

Of course, because he was not sure whether he could find the person, Fukuzawa Yukichi did not mention this matter before he was sure. Tokiwa was blind and had never noticed where Fukuzawa Yukichi had been before, so naturally he had never known about this matter.

Now that he knew, Shi Wu smiled adorably: "Then I really have to thank Uncle Fukuzawa."

"Well, you call the president uncle." Edogawa Ranpo looked at this face that looked exactly like his own and whose age was totally unrecognizable, and there seemed to be some sigh in his tone: "Hearing you call me like that, I feel like I've returned to ten years ago."

"I also called the president like that when I first met him!"

"Because it seems closer this way." Shi Wu nodded in agreement.

However, the words of the psychic... Shi Wu asked the system, which had not spoken for a week, in his heart: [Will it matter? ]

[Don't worry. ] The system replied like this.

——It was replied in seconds.

After getting the answer, Shi Wu didn't care even more.

Tokiwa's sense of time is not very sensitive, which has a lot to do with the fact that a whole day passed by when he was in a daze.

When Tokiwa came to his senses, the detective agency was already ready to receive guests.

I don't know if they were concerned about Tokiwa's lost memory, or were simply curious about the identity of the visitor, but everyone stayed in the detective agency.

There was a polite knock at the door, and Tanizaki Junichiro took the initiative to stand up and open the door, leading a silver-haired young man (or boy?) in.

His silver hair is different from that of Nakajima Atsushi and Fukuzawa Yukichi. Compared with pure silver, it seems softer, with a warm gray tone, and the hair is soft and slightly curled.

"I heard that Mr. Silver Wolf has something to ask of me. I am really honored." His voice was clear and cheerful like a teenager. The color of his eyes was similar to his hair color, but a little darker. In the room, it looked a bit like light brown

. "My name is Ishikawa Takuboku. Just call me Ishikawa." The man who called himself Ishikawa Takuboku said with a smile. There was no sharpness in his eyes. He was so soft and innocent that he looked like a rabbit.

Ishikawa Takuboku was led by Tanizaki Junichiro to sit on the sofa. When Tanizaki Naomi poured him a cup of black tea, he thanked her with a warm smile.

"I've learned the general situation from Mr. Fukuzawa." Ishikawa Takuboku is a very straightforward person - at least this is the character he is showing now. "My ability is called "A Handful of Sand", which can read people's memories in the form of photos."

"Of course there are disadvantages. If I use it on someone who has lost his memory, I'm not sure what memories I will read."

Ishikawa Takuboku's temperament is soft and gentle, and he does not bring any sense of threat to people, but the words he speaks are not gentle. He said: "I will follow the previous agreement and will not tell anyone what I saw today. On the other hand, if anything unexpected happens, you will bear the consequences yourself."

"If you can accept this, we can start now." Ishikawa Takuboku picked up the cup of black tea with a smile.

"So that's how it is. "Ranpo Edogawa had put on his glasses without knowing when. His sharp green eyes were like surgical instruments, coldly seeing through what Ishikawa Takuboku's superpowers really meant.

Superpowers are actually very special. Unlike those mainstream comics where the protagonists grow from weak to strong, most people's superpowers have already reached their peak from the beginning. What

needs to be trained afterwards is just the way to use the superpowers and how to use them . Proficiency is the development of new ways to use a single ability in various directions.

To use the "fine snow" of Tanizaki Junichiro as an example, when he first awakened his ability, he could only turn everything around him into an illusion - but after slowly figuring out how to use "fine snow", he could erase his own existence in battle, and then create another self to attract the enemy's attention, and then stab the enemy in the back.

This is all about training the proficiency of superpowers.

Similarly, superpowers have their own limitations. For example, Dazai Osamu's ineffectiveness must have physical contact, and Kunikida's unique creations cannot be larger than his own notebook - Ishikawa Takuboku's superpowers also have their own uncertainties.

Edogawa Ranpo judged that Ishikawa Takuboku was telling the truth, but just avoided the key point. The part he didn't say was the most critical and terrifying part of his ability.

The smile on Ishikawa Takuboku's face never disappeared: "So, do you want to start now?"

"Sure." Without waiting for Edogawa Ranpo or Fukuzawa Yukichi to speak, Shi Wu took the initiative to raise his hand, "I'm curious about what you can read."

"Then let's start." Edogawa Ranpo sat on the other side with his hands folded, and also did not refute - although Ishikawa Takuboku said in a dangerous direction, in fact, Ishikawa Takuboku had no reason to hurt the members of the detective agency. Especially this time, it was the other party repaying a favor.

Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help but complain: "Is the salary in the Special Powers Department very low? Why can you owe so many people money?"

Ishikawa Takuboku blinked and said innocently: "Haha, so after this part-time job is over, the money I borrowed from him can be written off~" "

So Mr. Fukuzawa is really generous, it's super reasonable!"

Edogawa Ranpo snorted, but still looked at Ishikawa Takuboku's movements very seriously.

Ishikawa Takuboku's expression became serious. He stood up and walked in front of Tokiwu. He raised his right hand slightly. The wind caused by the use of his special ability surrounded him and Tokiwu. He spoke softly: "Special ability-"A Handful of Sand"! "

Golden sand overflowed from the two people, swirled around his body several times, and slowly flew into his hands, turning into an old photo that had not yet taken shape.

The golden sand fell on the photo, like a dusty album. Ishikawa Takuboku shook the photo in his hand, and golden debris fell from the air and slowly dissipated.

Under the sunlight outside the window, the silver-gray-haired man curled his lips slightly, holding an old photo in his hand. The black-haired detective in front of him raised his head slightly, and his beautiful eyes like glass balls looked at him without focus. The golden sand surrounding them slowly dissipated in the air. It was hard to deny that this picture was beautiful enough.

When he saw the image on the photo, Ishikawa Takuboku raised his eyebrows: "What? You have lost your memory completely. "

Following his words, Ishikawa Takuboku turned the photo over and placed it in front of everyone.

The moment they saw the image on it, they were stunned.

——Through Ishikawa Takuboku’s introduction of his superpowers, they imagined any situation they would see in the photo. The memories in it might be happy or sad.

But they didn’t expect the fact that they could see nothing.

On that old photo made up of superpowers, there was nothing except darkness.

But even if there was only this one color, I don’t know if it was a special case of Ishikawa Takuboku’s superpowers—there was obviously nothing, but the black that caught the eye was filled with a kind of dead silence that made people lose their breath. It

was just like the color of death.

Shi Wu couldn’t see it, he couldn’t understand the other people’s quiet reactions, and at this moment he showed a childish innocence.

Ishikawa Takuboku seemed to have seen something interesting, he smiled and said, "How about another time? "

Author has something to say:

Shi Wu: OK.

ps: Ishikawa Takuboku, his appearance is based on the appearance of "Woodpecker Detective Club", but

his personality is not. Ishikawa Takuboku (1886-1912), whose real name is Ishikawa Ichi, was called a "child prodigy" in his childhood, but then his life was miserable and frustrated, and he died young at the age of 26. Ishikawa Takuboku is good at writing traditional tanka. His song collections ushered in a new era of Japanese tanka, most of which have only three lines. His works include tanka collections "A Handful of Sand" and "Sad Toys", poetry collections "Callers and Whistles", and novels "Hospital Window" and "Bird Shadow".
