Ishikawa Takuboku talked to his friend about a lot of things, not only about what happened today, but also about the commissions he had solved in the past.
He knew that Kindaichi Kyousuke couldn't understand, and even he himself didn't know what he said under the hypnosis of alcohol.
Kindaichi Kyousuke was a very serious and serious person. Even if he didn't understand, he understood his friend's mood at the moment, so he sat aside very considerately and never stopped Ishikawa Takuboku.
Even if Ishikawa Takuboku took him to do some messy and unconventional things, Kindaichi Kyousuke never really refused.
"Actually, I don't quite understand what you mean, but it seems to be somewhat understood." Kindaichi Kyousuke poured a glass of sake for Ishikawa Takuboku, and his voice was very light. Even so, the drunk man in front of him still had difficulty focusing on him.
Kindaichi Kyousuke was just a middleman, and he didn't know more specific things. So he just followed Ishikawa Takuboku's words and understood it for himself: "Although you are a liar and naughty, conceited, talkative and a little vain..."
Ishikawa Takuboku: "…………"
I was just drunk, not amnesiac! So you are so dissatisfied with me!
Perhaps Ishikawa Takuboku's condemning look was too obvious, Kindaichi Kyosuke coughed lightly and changed the subject: "But, you are also a genius detective with foresight."
Maybe this is a little hard to believe, but Ishikawa Takuboku is indeed a detective. He once pulled him to set up a club called "Woodpecker Detective Club" - well, from then until now, there are only two of them as members.
"Your worries are never groundless. But your ability does not have any killing power." Kindaichi Kyousuke certainly knew the danger of Ishikawa Takuboku's ability, but there was no need to talk about things that had not happened at this time. The essence of Ishikawa Takuboku's ability is memory after all. "
So when you mentioned killing the client again, I can only think of two possibilities."
"One is that as the allusion says, once the dead remember the fact that they are dead, they will disappear from the world."
Kindaichi Kyousuke didn't know that his words were almost a prophecy at this moment. In the future, there will indeed be a person who forgets his death and reappears in the world with a supernatural power. When he realizes that he is actually dead, he will be killed by the same person again.
There is another possibility, "Your client was not happy before he lost his memory, right?"
Ishikawa Takuboku was silent.
Although he did not read through all the memories of "Mr. Ranpo", none of the memories extracted by his ability were good memories.
His ability can be said to be random, but in fact it has its own regularity, and basically represents the most important (or unforgettable) turning points of the person being read.
For example, he could guess that if he read the memory of another Edogawa Ranpo, it would definitely include what happened when the other party met Fukuzawa Yukichi.
And if he read the memory with Yosano Akiko, it would also inevitably include the collapse in that battle, and the memory of being saved by Edogawa Ranpo and Fukuzawa Yukichi.
"Well, I think I can understand." Kindaichi Kyousuke was also silent for a while, "If his memory is restored, it means that he will experience (remember) what happened at the time of death again."
That would definitely be the worst case scenario.
Ishikawa Takuboku's ability cannot allow him to fully feel another person's emotions, but it will indeed have a certain impact. Kindaichi Kyousuke knows this.
In the past, Mr. Ishikawa would also say "That's terrible" after completing the commission, and then drag him to drink - but there was no time that Mr. Ishikawa really showed such a helpless and confused state in front of him.
So...
Kindaichi Kyousuke said gently: "Are you willing to tell me what emotions you actually sensed."
"Of course, if this is not suitable for me to know..."
"Death." Ishikawa Takuboku spoke directly.
If it weren't for the blush on his face, you wouldn't even know from his expression that he was actually a drunkard.
"At that moment, I really thought I was going to die." Ishikawa Takuboku lay on the table, "But I only sensed one tenth of that child's - one hundredth?" "
Even if he was going to die, he was sure that he would die sooner or later, and he couldn't hold on for too long. But there was only one thought in that child's mind."
"He wanted to protect his companions."
"[No... I'm dying...
In the end, I didn't help at all...]" "
[No! I absolutely can't let the two of them fall here too!]"
Ishikawa Takuboku can present what he reads in the form of text, but he can also sense more than words.
But given the situation at the time, Ishikawa Takuboku didn't know how to open his mouth to say these words.
"But you know, Kyousuke, what surprised me the most was not everything he experienced before his death. It was what happened after his death..."
"I'm sure he had stopped breathing at that time, but his brain was still active, leaving behind such memories."
"Maybe he saw his family on the other side of death, but it's more likely that it's just his own imagination."
"Mr. Ishikawa..." Kindaichi Kyousuke opened his mouth, not knowing how to comfort his friend. But before he said the next sentence, his expression was stunned.
"Please don't move, Mr. Ishikawa." Kindaichi Kyousuke said this, frowned, stretched out his hand, and took out a small listening device from the seam of Ishikawa Takuboku's clothes.
Thinking that their conversation would be monitored by unknown people, Kindaichi Kyousuke's expression became a little ugly, and he immediately became alert and defensive.
Unexpectedly, Ishikawa Takuboku had no doubts at all. He reached out and took the monitor from Kindaichi Kyousuke's hand, and then quietly broke it.
"Mr. Ishikawa?!"
"Kyousuke, my friend, you have to be more tactful. Sometimes it's better to pretend you don't know." Ishikawa Takuboku lay on the table and closed his eyes, just like he was asleep.
- At the same time, in the office of the Armed Detective Agency.
Dazai Osamu listened to the snapping sound coming from his ears, and did not take off the headphones as a disguise, but fell on the sofa. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the direction of his sight was just right for Tokiwa who was still in a daze on the rooftop.
At this time, Tokiwa was talking to the system (referring to the communication between consciousness).
He said somewhat dazedly: "Just now, I suddenly remembered the things in the previous world..."
With the same brain as Edogawa Ranpo, how could Tokiwu not know that they were deliberately avoiding him.
It's just that Ranpo said that he believed him, so Tokiwu went upstairs obediently. He even knew why Ranpo chose Tanizaki Naomi to accompany him-because compared to other people, the Tanizaki siblings have always been like conjoined twins and are rarely separated.
And Tanizaki Junichiro will definitely tell his sister everything that happened, word for word. In addition, Tanizaki Naomi is not a psychic...
As for why he inexplicably thought of the things in the previous world...
"That Ishi,"
[Ishikawa Takuboku. ] "
Oh, Ishikawa Takuboku." Tokiwu naturally continued, "His ability is related to memory, right?"
[Yes. 】
"So, you threw out the things in the previous world as a smoke bomb?"
[...Yes. ]
"Is that so..." Shi Wu felt the damp breeze blowing across his cheeks, and this time he really spoke. He said softly: "It feels like it's going to rain..."
Not sure if it was a side effect of Ishikawa Takuboku's ability, but at this moment, Shi Wu unconsciously recalled what happened in the previous world.
Shi Wu thought he would be the same as before, forgetting everything in a moment.
Perhaps it was because not too much time had passed, and the emotions at the time made his memory deep enough, plus the blessing of Edogawa Ranpo's brain, Shi Wu found that he could remember every word of it quite clearly.
At the beginning of the memory, Shi Wu's attitude was no different from before, and was quite casual.
At that time, he had just confirmed his identity.
- Dazai Osamu.
As usual, except for the name, Shi Wu didn't know anything else.
He didn't know where he was teleported to, but according to previous experience, it should be not far from the target. Shi
Wu was playing with the wheelchair under his body with some curiosity. He seemed to have never touched this kind of thing before, so he spent half a minute studying what the buttons on the wheelchair meant.
Then, he heard the voice of a hoarse boy.
It's the target. Shi Wu raised his head with this cold and casual attitude, and saw a boy with a strange bangs.
The expression of the silver-haired boy was full of disbelief and sadness - this look, Shi Wu should actually be familiar with it. Every vest has a similar expression when he meets someone else.
At this time, Shi Wu had not realized what this meant.
He only knew that this meant -
[Energy collection completed, mission...]
But the system's voice was suddenly interrupted.
The silver-haired boy rushed to Shi Wu at a speed that humans could hardly catch up with. He didn't even dare to reach out and touch him. He just had a voice full of relief. He trembled and said, "That's great, Mr. Dazai, you are not dead..."
Shi Wu was stunned.
[Mission completed. Start transferring...]
"I want to stay." Shi Wu suddenly interrupted the system's words. He realized one thing from the mouth of the silver-haired boy.
I don't know if it was the vest's instinctive emotional surge, but Shi Wu, who had always acted like he didn't care about anything, was tainted with a gloomy aura.
The system was silent for a while, and then responded: [I understand. 】
【After the task is completed, you can stay for a period of time, countdown 23:58:46】
The author has something to say:
Time:...
