Losing vision is not terrible, especially since Tokiwa knows that this is just a debuff of the vest and is not permanent.
Moreover, Ranpo Edogawa has the ability to analyze and reason in an instant, and he can model everything that ordinary people can see within a few seconds before he can react.
That's why he said at the beginning that the blindness setting is unnecessary - for Ranpo Edogawa, even if he is blind, it does not prevent him from "seeing" the world with other senses.
However, that is only possible outdoors, or in a room with wind.
There are no windows in Ranpo Edogawa's office, and there is a very obvious "Ranpo Edogawa" smell in the room. The sweet smell of candy can easily allow Tokiwa to determine where the other party has hidden the snacks.
But there is no wind.
After Edogawa Ranpo closed the door, Shi Wuyong's senses for determining his position suddenly lost their function.
When he was outside, even if the detective agency was unfamiliar, the sound of everyone talking, walking, and the sound of the wind blowing through the room could allow Shi Wuyong to determine his location.
But this time, everything in front of his eyes was completely "black".
Apart from Edogawa Ranpo who was holding him, he could not model the room, and naturally could not determine where he could go forward and where he needed to stop.
It can be said that at this moment, Shi Wu completely gave himself to the other person who was holding his hand.
He was a little uncomfortable. It can't be said that he was afraid, he was just not used to it.
There was almost no sound in the room except for the sound of Ranpo Edogawa rummaging around, the sound of clothes rubbing against each other, the boy's childish voice, and the breathing of the two people.
Shiwu's mind subconsciously simulated the expression of Ranpo Edogawa puffing his face to find something. The boy's actions were the only thing he could capture now.
Then, something was stuffed into his ears - no! Shiwu subconsciously rejected the detective's action.
At this time, Shiwu really realized what blindness meant. It was not the scene that a detective could see through the brain to model. There was really darkness in front of his eyes and he could not touch anything.
The world lost all its colors, and nothing existed except darkness.
In a silent world, even if you want to reach out your hand, you can't be sure whether you have really reached out your hand. Everything has lost its meaning.
"Don't worry, I'm here!" At this moment, the clear voice of a young boy seemed to break the colorless cage, and he said, "I won't leave."
In the dark world, only Edogawa Ranpo in front of him can be firmly grasped.
So this time, Tokiwa took the initiative to hold Edogawa Ranpo's hand.
Edogawa Ranpo looked at his hand that was finally held on his own initiative with satisfaction, stretched out his other arm, pulled over another stool, and sat on it with his legs crossed. Then he leaned on the desk and stared carefully at this face that was exactly the same as his own.
Maybe he was really tired. He had been using his brain non-stop. Even if he replenished his energy with snacks, he still felt tired.
The person who can pretend to sleep in front of Edogawa Ranpo has probably not been born yet. After making sure that the person in front of him was really asleep, Edogawa Ranpo stared at his hand, which was held tightly and did not relax at all, and blinked.
It was really unexpected, I never thought that such an incident would happen. Edogawa Ranpo hesitated, but still did not take out the glasses given to him by the president from his pocket.
Let's talk about it after he wakes up! The sensible detective thought so.

[Question: Do you need to unlock the plot fragments of "Edogawa Ranpo"? ]
Tokioka was not actually asleep, but he had already adjusted his breathing frequency like an instinct. He could still pretend to sleep in front of an ordinary person (referring to the fighting power).
Then at this time, he heard the familiar mechanical sound of the system.
Is this the first time? Shi Wu thought.
[Answer: Because there was no need to unlock the vest plot in the past missions.]
Does that mean that all vests can be unlocked?
[Yes.]
To what extent can they be unlocked.
[Energy redemption is required.]
In other words, as long as the energy is sufficient, you can unlock it to any extent you want. Shi Wu understood what the system meant.
He didn't know about Edogawa Ranpo's past, and he was not good at writing scripts. Even this mission was his first attempt.
No matter how you think about it, it is very necessary to unlock the past of Edogawa Ranpo's vest.
Shi Wu is not a person who hesitates and often does what he thinks of. However, at the moment of making up his mind, he somehow recalled the look of the unknown blond man.
That look...
'How many can I redeem now?' Shi Wu suddenly asked.
[One.]
Even though it is an emotionless AI, the system still understands its host. It said: [I don't recommend you to do that.]
[According to the system calculation, redeeming the life of the "Edogawa Ranpo" vest will be beneficial to your plan. However, redeeming "Morobushi Kagemitsu" will not help at all. This is not calculated.]
Perhaps the "first" is always special. As the first vest ever used, the one encountered at that time, compared to all the people who came later, occupies the most special position in Shi Wu's heart.
At least... he wanted to know the man's name.
[Are you sure? ]
[After confirmation, the past of the alias "Morobushi Kagemitsu" was successfully redeemed. ]
If the system didn't mention it, Shi Wu wouldn't even know how much extra energy he could save - after all, he was going to be resurrected, and it was impossible for him to use the energy needed to resurrect himself.
The system calculates the optimal solution, getting the most energy at the lowest cost. The longer Shi Wu stays in this world, the more power the system needs to spend. According to the system, his current behavior is completely unplanned.
If you have to use some description to explain Shi Wu's plan, it's nothing more than that he has a poison that would originally kill one person. But Shi Wu diluted the poison and distributed it to one hundred people.
So no one will be poisoned to death, at most these one hundred people may have an upset stomach. Different reactions will also occur according to each person's tolerance and the diluted poison ingredients.
At the same time, during the dilution process, there are one hundred more portions of "water used to dilute the poison", including physical strength and other things.
Although these one hundred portions of water are not as valuable as poison, they do exist. It
is indeed very uneconomical. Even Shi Wu understands.
But this is human beings-if every behavior is the best solution, wouldn't it become an AI robot?
He already has an AI, and there is no need to become an AI himself.
[...Please accept it.]
Oh. Shi Wu emptied his mind and stopped complaining about his own system.
The products of the system must be high-quality.
In a short breath, memories that do not belong to me appear in my mind. They are not random, like words in an encyclopedia, or pictures in anime comics or PPT.
But... I am really immersed in this memory.
It is as if I have really experienced the life of "Morobushi Kagemitsu". But I will not get lost in it. My brain clearly knows that I am not Morobushi Kagemitsu. I just saw every turning point in Morobushi Kagemitsu's life from a first-person perspective.
Morobushi Kagemitsu had a happy family before he was seven years old. His parents were ordinary parents that can be seen everywhere, and he had an exceptionally smart brother.
When he was seven years old, he encountered the first turning point in his life.
His parents died tragically in front of him. As he witnessed the tragedy with his own eyes, Morobushi Kagemitsu suffered from aphasia and could not speak during that time, and his memory became blurred.
Perhaps it was the influence of this memory. Tokiwa also felt the fear at the same time, his body felt cold, and he couldn't help but want to shiver.
Fortunately, his brother did not encounter this danger. Because they could not take care of themselves, the two brothers were separated and adopted by relatives.
At this time, Morobushi Kagemitsu met the other most important person in his life.
Furuya Rei, Zero...
So, his name was this. After getting the answer, Tokiwa finally got rid of the suffocating feeling of losing his parents, and continued to watch Morobushi Kagemitsu's subsequent experiences.
He met Rei Furuya, became friends with him, and entered the police academy together, becoming a police officer and a public security officer. Then, they went undercover in an organization together.
"Bang--"
With the sound of a gunshot, Morobushi Kagemitsu's short 25-year life ended in that abandoned building.
As an undercover agent, in order to protect his young friends who had not yet been exposed and his relatives who would be affected, Morobushi Kagemitsu chose to give up his life.
That strong sense of mission and responsibility, the feeling of wanting to protect even at the cost of one's own life...
>>>>>>>>>>>
Ranpo Edogawa, who was originally drowsy, suddenly froze. He felt the hand he was holding, as if it had lost its temperature in an instant.
At the same time, a strong emotion representing fear came from the sleeping person. If it was anyone else, Edogawa Ranpo would not have paid any attention.
But this feeling... maybe the connection between them is deeper than Edogawa Ranpo imagined.
Almost as if he felt the same way, Edogawa Ranpo panicked and used a greater force to hold the hand back.
"... Wake up... Already... Wake up...!" Tokiwu
suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. He was not asleep in the first place, but just got a little lost in the memories of another vest, so he did not come back to his senses in time.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he inexplicably got an overly warm hug.
In the midst of Tokiwu's dazed expression, Edogawa Ranpo hugged him and patted his back gently.
"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, Ranbu-sama will help you beat all the bad guys away!"
"You are not alone now, the world's number one detective is right beside you!"
The always willful detective, at this moment, is just like a mature and stable brother.
