Ranpo Edogawa is a very self-centered guy. According to what Atsushi Nakajima said at the time, he separated from Kunikida and Atsushi Nakajima because he saw something interesting on the way and then left without saying a word to the two of them.

Otherwise, even if Ranpo Edogawa didn't know the way, it would be impossible for him to get lost even when walking with someone -

this is the answer based on his character and Atsushi Nakajima's reaction at the time. Obviously, this famous detective is not the first time to do such a thing.

It will take some time for Ranpo Edogawa to come back. During this time, the room is so quiet that it makes people feel uneasy.

At least Nakajima Atsushi, who didn't pay much attention to this place, seems to have noticed the unusual atmosphere and silence. He glanced over here frequently, thinking that no one noticed him.

This kind of innocent and cute reaction... is really different from that White Death. Shi Wu thought so with his mind empty.

In the last world, the psychological shadow brought to him by the White Death was second only to that of Dazai Osamu, the pseudonym himself.

As for what happened in the last world, it can actually be explained in one sentence.

After the leader Dazai jumped to his death, he appeared in front of the White Death in a wheelchair wearing the pseudonym of the leader Dazai.

...Did he break his leg because he didn't die from the jump?

The moment he realized this fact, Shi Wu, who originally had no desire to complain, unknowingly lit up the technology tree of complaints.

Of course, this is just a joke. For Shi Wu, suicide is something that requires a lot of courage.

At least, he will never give up his life easily.

At first, he hadn't recovered from his own death, so he didn't care much about the chance of resurrection.

After witnessing death once again through the eyes of the vests, Shi Wucai recalled how precious life is.

[I just don't want... you to die...]

He needs to live. He must live.

But even if he wants to be resurrected, he shouldn't hurt others so much.

The AI ​​system is not human, it doesn't understand human emotions, it will only make the most of everything it can use. Including humans themselves.

It wasn't until the last world that Shi Wucai really realized this. He also realized how many people he had hurt when he first didn't react, based on the system's calculations.

The White Death looked at him with admiration and sorrow, and pulled his clothes to ask him to live carefully. Then when he chose to leave, his eyes were almost broken...

This heavy emotion made Shi Wu feel a little sad. Because he knew that the White Death was not the first person he hurt, nor would he be the last.

As long as he wanted to be resurrected, he would need to continue to use their emotions.

It was just that he saw and perceived it directly through the beautiful eyes of the White Death, so he cared about the White Death to the greatest extent.

His mission - or the price of living, not to mention the complicated twists and turns in it, for easy understanding, is to collect the so-called "wishes".

Let those who are important to the world (the main characters) "hope you live." The more important the role, the stronger the emotion, the more power the system needs.

At least that's how Shi Wu understood it.

At first, Shi Wu didn't know anything. The system told him to do something, so he did it.

After the system calculated, it would recommend the vests he had drawn, which was similar to the "recommended cards" in the game mechanism.

So his first vest was a black-haired, cat-eyed young man named [Morobushi Kagemitsu]. Just like in the previous world, [Morobushi Kagemitsu] was also carelessly placed in front of a blond, wheat-skinned man according to the system.

To this day, Shi Wu still doesn't know what the man's name is.

He only knew that the moment the blond man saw him, his gray-blue eyes seemed to be stung by something, and the blond man grabbed him as if he had touched an illusory bubble.

Shi Wu just followed the instinct of the vest and showed a gentle smile. So the blond man immediately confirmed his identity without any reason, and showed his pain and vulnerability in front of him.

In the end, the illusory bubble still disappeared in front of the blond man's eyes - because the strong emotion of the blond man alone, who wanted him to live, was enough to satisfy the emotions required by the system.

There was no need for him to stay any longer.

The system calculated this point and used it to complete Shi Wu's novice task perfectly within 24 hours at the most efficient speed.

Most of the missions that followed were calculated by the system. Shi Wu was like a transparent barrier, and he continued to be a cruel executioner by relying on the instinct of his vests.

Shi Wu had no reason to blame the system, because he was essentially using these people.

Even though in reality, he did not realize that his original vests were actually the identities of dead people.

The system never made it clear what the so-called wish represented -

until the last world, he suddenly realized what the so-called wish meant from the words "It's great that Mr. Dazai is not dead..." from the mouth of the white god of death .

The emotion that "wish" is equal to "hope that he lives" is just Shi Wu's guess as of the last world.

But this is not an excuse. He may have realized it a long time ago, but his selfish choice ignored it.

So now... he just starts to reject the aliases recommended by the system, and tries to use another alias identity that is certain to be alive.

- For example, this time, before he appeared in this world, the alias recommended by the system was called [Oda Sakunosuke].

According to the system's habit, this Oda Sakunosuke should have died.

It is also unknown whose relative or friend this Oda Sakunosuke is. No matter who it is, it is better for him not to mention it.

Even if the process of completing the task will be much more troublesome than before, Shiwu can only do this.

[Answer: Using the identity of "Oda Sakunosuke", you can reach the required energy in the shortest time. I don't understand why you chose "Edogawa Ranpo". 】

Because there is already a Ranpo Edogawa in this world, to them, I will just be an outsider, another person.

Even if they transfer their emotions to me out of love for the whole family, no matter how strong the emotions are, it will not cause much harm to them as long as Edogawa Ranpo is still around.

[Answer: The energy obtained in the end is the same. Our different choices essentially lead to the same results. I don't understand.]

I know what you mean. Although the nature is the same, at least I can use this as an excuse to relax myself.

[……]

The system didn't say anything, so Shi Wu didn't think about it anymore.

Shi Wu knew what he was doing. He agreed to the things he did at the beginning, and the system didn't force him.

So he accepted it very calmly. Shi

Wu didn't care about Dazai Osamu's thoughts. He squinted his eyes and walked towards the window in the direction of the wind. Then he leaned on the windowsill and looked at the sky lazily.

Although he can't see, it doesn't prevent him from feeling the wind and recalling what the sky looks like.

He likes to watch the white clouds floating in the blue sky, likes to observe the subtle changes of each cloud, likes to feel the wind blowing past him, likes the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the grass and trees, and he likes that comfortable and relaxed feeling.

Shi Wu's acting skills are not very good. All previous tasks were basically based on the instinct of the vest, so he has to work hard to study his acting skills from now on, but in this process, he should not deliberately act for the sake of acting, which is easy to detect.

This copy can be said to be difficult max. Whether it is Edogawa Ranpo himself or Dazai Osamu, they are all very smart. They can tell at a glance whether he is deliberately acting.

So now that he wants to see the sky, Shi Wu did so.

Edogawa Ranpo is too important in the detective agency. No matter what he does, it is natural and no one will stop him. Tokioka,

who was lying on the windowsill, could not feel Dazai Osamu's gaze on his back, but after clearing his mind, he easily ignored it.

The weather is very good today. The cool breeze from the coastal areas carries the smell of the ocean, but the dampness of the sea water, along with the sunlight falling on Tokioka's body, becomes less obvious. It's

warm and comfortable...

The detective with a boy's appearance and an unknown identity easily shows a comfortable expression in the detective agency.

The black-haired young man's eyebrows are relaxed, and the pair of eyes like glass beads under the curtains also reflect beautiful brilliance in the sun. This person's presence is like a breeze blowing by, and will not bring any threat.

"Click."

The sound of a door opening came from not far away, and a clear voice like a boy came from the door. "I'm back!"

Edogawa Ranpo raised his chin and set his eyes on the back of the person standing at the window sill. He didn't pay attention to Kunikida Doppo standing behind him with a defensive look on his face, nor did he pay attention to the other clerks in the room and the shocked expressions of Nakajima Atsushi.

"It's you, right? The guy that even Dazai finds difficult!" Edogawa Ranpo stretched out his hand and shouted, but found that the guy didn't notice his presence at all, and couldn't help feeling unhappy: "- You are still in a daze! I've already come back! Lord Ranpo will be angry, what's so good about the sky outside!"

The next complaint, which had not yet been spoken, disappeared in his mouth the moment the face that looked exactly like his own turned around.

Edogawa Ranpo met those lifeless eyes and pursed his lips.

The author has something to say:

Shi Wu: Simply put, I changed from "using the original sword alone" to "using the script sword for a group of people."
