Chapter 43



Shi Wu didn't think too much about the "I understand" that the system said.

Until the next day, the system announced a new task.

[The task interface has been updated.

Task 1: Contact the cornerstone of the world "Book". (Uncompleted)

Task 2: Capture Fukuchi Sakurachi who will destroy the balance of the world. (Uncompleted)

Task 3: Kill Bram Stoker. (Uncompleted)

The above tasks are not limited to any method or means. Within the time limit of ten days, if the task is still not completed at the end of the countdown, it will be considered a mission failure.

Countdown 239:59:56]

Shi Wu woke up with question marks all over his head.

Probably guessing Shi Wu's doubts at the moment, the system didn't even ask, and explained in his mechanical and stiff tone.

[My only job is to resurrect your body, including after-sales service for resurrection.]

[Based on what you said yesterday, after calculation, there is more than a 50% chance that after successfully resurrecting you, you will fall into death again within 24 hours.]

Shi Wu: "..." Ah, he didn't seem that surprised.

[Therefore, the system automatically updates to provide you with better service.]

Shi Wu blinked. Compared to the amount of information in the system's message, his first reaction was: "You started using honorifics to me again?"

A long time ago, Shi Wu himself couldn't remember when it started, and the system's address to him had long changed from "you" to "you".

[…………This is not the point.]

Shi Wu tilted his head innocently: "You use honorifics to me, which makes me very uncomfortable."

Even though Shi Wu had never played any games, he felt that this system was super unreliable. It felt like a company boss who had never been involved in such affairs was being a GM (game manager).

There was no mention of what the mission was before. He even had reason to suspect that there was actually no mission for him to complete, and the system could not compile a normal mission.

As a result, there is now a serious mission. Shi Wu was a little surprised.

The system was silent for a long, long time - so long that Shi Wu started to yawn again. The other side said stiffly [Countdown 239:57:23] Shi Wu

couldn't help laughing, but it was a pity that the system didn't even give him an ellipsis this time.

Within ten days, come into contact with the book, arrest Fukuchi Sakurachi, kill Bram Stoker...

As for the "book", he had basically got some information in the if world, and then in this world, a lot of information was clarified.

"The Book" is like an urban legend. No one knows where it will appear. And the previously wanted Atsushi is the indicator that leads the way.

Let's not talk about where the whole book is, but there will definitely be a small number of residual pages in the Special Powers Division. If you really want to get in touch with it, in fact, for "Edogawa Ranpo", as long as it is handled properly, there is really nothing he can't do.

Once the world's number one detective wants to get something, is there really anything that can avoid his reasoning?

Fukuchi Sakura is even more stupid, needless to say, it is mentioned in the file.

He basically knows the first two tasks, but, Bram Stoker...who is he?

Tokiwa fell into confusion.

The file of Edogawa Ranpo's vest only stopped at the time when he was almost hurt by Fukuchi Sakurachi, and then entered a book. That book was the supernatural power of a member of the group.

The file only wrote about Ranpo himself, and did not mention what happened to other people at all - although it can be speculated, it's a pity that Toki has too few known items.

Toki has roughly speculated that Fukuchi Sakurachi's purpose has a lot to do with the survival of the world, but he really doesn't know how he plans to do it.

It can't be that Fukuchi Sakurachi kills all the humans in the world and then there will be "world peace", right?

I had no idea that the future would be related to "vampires" - after all, such a turn is really illogical and can't be easily guessed.

So Toki's mentality is really stable. This is also the reason why Toki was able to calmly warn Edogawa Ranpo about Fukuchi Sakura before. Edogawa Ranpo

has never had any special abilities, so he must get intelligence first.

In fact, reasoning ability is not something that can be achieved with just brain intelligence, but also requires a better understanding of the world than ordinary people - Edogawa Ranpo must have been led by his parents to absorb countless knowledge when he was young, so that he can easily transform it into his own known conditions.

If Toki had read the reports and newspapers related to Fukuchi Sakura a few years ago, he might have been able to guess it. But unfortunately, he didn't even go out of his way to learn about the job of "collecting intelligence" because he had always stayed in the detective agency.

This led to his understanding of this world, but in fact he was still in a strange state.

So Shiwu thought so in his mind, and sat cross-legged on the sofa of the detective agency.

Now, if he wants to do something alone, Ranpo will definitely find out - therefore, there is no need to hide from Ranpo, especially since this crisis belongs to Ranpo's world.

Shiwu is not the kind of superhero who silently protects humanity, and he is not doing this job. What he wants to protect is always everything in front of him.

Edogawa Ranpo happened to be lying lazily beside him.

Whether it is Shiwu himself or Ranpo's vest, they are not euphemistic characters, so Shiwu asked directly after he figured it out.

"Ranpo, do you know who Bram Stoker is?"

Ranpo Edogawa was stunned. He suddenly opened his eyes and met Tokiwa who seemed to be completely unaware of what terrible words he said.

Only when the two pairs of eyes are in the same field of vision can you find out how big the difference is between their green eyes.

Ranpo Edogawa's gaze is as sharp as a scalpel, as if it can dissect a person. And Tokiwa's glass prosthetic eye is clear and clean, with nothing in it.

Even Tokiwa's eyes, which were a little red due to the injury, seemed a little bullied at this moment.

"You remember?" Ranpo Edogawa asked.

Tokiwa: "?"

Understanding his expression, Ranpo Edogawa frowned: "Then how did you know..."

"Forget it, it's not a very important thing."

"What do you want to do?" Edogawa Ranpo asked bluntly.

"Because I think I need to kill him?" Shiwu was a little unsure.

Shiwu would not kill people for no reason. On the contrary, he has always been protecting humans.

However, Shiwu has a subtle self-confidence. He thinks the system understands him, so it will tell the task of killing who and who. Then the target set to be killed must not be a human.

This is also because Shiwu has never asked the system. And for things like tasks, isn't it up to him to decide whether to complete them? Anyway, the system will not force him. If he doesn't want to kill, no one can force him.

And in fact - Shiwu guessed right.

Bram Stoker, before the group came, Dazai Osamu had specially investigated the relevant intelligence - in the process of investigating Fukuchi Sakurachi.

No one thought that a few years ago, after defeating the vampire duke, Fukuchi Sakurachi would take his body away. In view of the other party's special ability that can be said to be highly contagious, Dazai Osamu had to doubt Fukuchi Sakurachi's purpose.

In short, after such an investigation, Dazai Osamu checked everyone around him thoroughly.

And this vampire duke can no longer be considered human. Because of his supernatural powers, his cells mutated and he became a vampire.

He is afraid of the sun, and as the name suggests, his food is human blood. Anyone bitten by him will become his follower (vampire).

At the same time, Wu would directly tell Edogawa Ranpo that the detective had no intention of hiding anything. Just like he told Dazai Osamu before, he would say whatever he wanted to say about the memory problem, and he would not have any opinion.

"If you are talking about that guy, he is a vampire, not a human." Edogawa Ranpo looked at Shi Wu and said these words in a calm tone.

As expected, he saw another self in front of him. His originally relaxed expression turned blank in an instant, and even the pair of translucent glass prosthetic eyes were not so bright because of the light.

After solving the problem of the combination, he mentioned the enemy who was not a creature with supernatural powers - the inhuman sanity that was solved by Dazai Osamu of their detective agency and Nakahara Chuuya of the neighboring port mafia. He had already determined the answer from Tokiwu's face.

It was not hatred either. Edogawa Ranpo rarely saw negative emotions on Tokiwu's face. Only that time did he see pure disgust and defensiveness, as well as strong aggression. Therefore

, he was not surprised at Tokiwu's subsequent reaction.

The world is rich and colorful, and it is not very strange to have a purely non-human being. However, if it can be called a ghost...

Tokiwu lowered his head slightly, and his bangs fell down, casting a shadow that slightly obscured his face. The memory seemed to have opened a small hole, and Tokiwu asked in a low voice - no, his tone was not a question, but a reaffirmation after already knowing the answer.

"...His weakness, is it the sun?" Tokiwu spoke softly.

Edogawa Ranpo nodded: "Yes."

Toki: "Will he also transform other people into... vampires?"

Edogawa Ranpo: "Yes." Toki

: "His food is humans."

Edogawa Ranpo: "Although it's just blood... but it's almost like that." Toki

asked three questions, and Edogawa Ranpo gave affirmative answers to all of them.

Toki was silent for a long time, probably because the infection of yesterday's wound had not healed, and he had untied the bandage in advance. His eyes felt a little sore at this moment.

Whether it was the book or Fukuchi Sakurachi, whether mission one or two was completed, it didn't seem to be that important at this moment.

He didn't notice that his fists were clenched, and his knuckles began to turn white at this moment because he used too much force, nor did he notice that Edogawa Ranpo gently covered his fist with his palm as if to soothe him.

At this moment, Shi Wu realized what he should do. Even though his memory has not been restored, Shi Wu will never forget what his duty is.

Just like the four words he engraved on the blade, it is his mission in this life.

That is -

"Demon Slayer"!

The author has something to say: System: I thought I only needed to revive this one, but he wanted to save everyone (support), okay, you can save them if you want, it's just that the short-term journey will become a long one, and the mission will become a little more difficult

. Shi Wu: Thank you.

System: ...
