Chapter 9



Shi Wu was somewhat regretful that SSR cards could only be incomplete versions.

Of course, he also asked the system if it could be fixed, and the system's answer was that there was a certain probability and it would require a lot of energy.

Shi Wu understood that the system meant to pay for the cards. The problem was that Shi Wu didn't even have enough basic funds (referring to resurrection), so how could he have extra money to recharge the cards.

- Even in the past when he unlocked the vest, he used the excess energy that could not be used for resurrection.

In the end, he could only unlock one.

Poor, he was too poor. In every sense.

Lamenting this in his heart, Shi Wu noticed that Edogawa Ranpo was quietly a little bit abnormal, and he immediately realized that he was too certain about his eyes not being able to be cured. Obviously, his setting is amnesia -

but it doesn't matter if he is exposed in a place like this.

Because Shi Wu remembered the mission that he had wasted so much time on and completely forgot about.

From his understanding, the mission is to make these people feel that they want to survive.

Originally, he would fleece one person and make him bald every time. Now he has changed to fleece everyone a little, and everyone will feel the harmless part.

But the premise of completing the mission is that he has to show that he is dead.

The previous mission was that the vests themselves were dead people, and they didn't even have to act. Just showing their faces could make the relatives and friends of the vests have strong emotions.

Oh, by the way, doing the mission in a systematic way is not always completely successful. He remembered that he failed once before?

Maybe he really didn't take it seriously. Apart from the first time being special and the last time when Dazai Osamu made him realize the answer and left a deep impression on him, Shiwu himself didn't know every task clearly.

After all, you can't ask Shiwu to show his face in front of a complete stranger without knowing anything after putting on a vest. At most, he would say a few words according to the system's requirements and then leave. In this case, what other impressions can he have?

So it was the system that was silent for a while and helped him recall.

[It was my mistake. I miscalculated the adaptability of the ninja world to illusions, and misjudged the complex relationship between the Uchiha brothers.]

The system said the key words, and Shiwu remembered them.

"By the way, the vest is called Itachi, Uchiha Itachi, right?" Shi Wu asked in his mind.

[Yes.]

The mission experience that time was also quite strange.

Shi Wu showed his face as the system said, and appeared in front of another Uchiha with a head of frizzy hair - according to the name of another golden-haired partner beside him, the Uchiha youth should be called Sasuke. Shi

Wu didn't know what big family it was, but it sounded like a surname, and Uchiha Sasuke and the vest had similar faces, so he decisively judged them to be brothers. In fact, they are indeed brothers.

At that time, Uchiha Sasuke had a complicated expression, and the next second he rushed over with lightning in his hand and a murderous look on his face -

Tokiwa didn't understand how to use ninjutsu at all, nor did he understand the complicated relationship between them. He didn't even recognize the person, and the system teleported him away, and also said that the mission failed.

The system later explained a few sentences, and explained something specific... Sorry, Tokiwa didn't listen carefully at the time, and now I can't remember it.

It was also because of this mistake that most of the worlds that the system teleported to were not the kind of Warring States background where people were on guard against each other and could encounter enemies at any time.

It seems that the recollection is a bit biased.

In short, Tokiwa finally remembered that the most important thing he should do now is to prove that he is dead - or in the process of wanting to die, so that he can receive the idea of ​​"not wanting him to die" from others.

"I don't quite understand people who choose to commit suicide, and I can't act out that feeling. The vest itself is lively and cheerful, and it feels even more impossible..." Shi Wu thought with a purpose.

He sighed to the system: "I seem to have dug a hole for myself."

[...So I can't understand your thoughts. ]

Shi Wu always felt that the system sighed, as if looking at a good-for-nothing son.

"But it doesn't matter, this is just an attempt." Shi Wu was quite optimistic: "And I'm dead anyway, this is a fact, there is no need to act deliberately. I just need to show this point."

Thanks to Edogawa Ranpo's brain, although so many things flashed through his consciousness, and he communicated with the system for a while, in reality only a few seconds had passed.

Shi Wu naturally continued the previous conversation, and said to Edogawa Ranpo with a smile: "But it doesn't matter if you give it a try!"

If there really is some special ability that can cure the vest, it would be a good thing for him.

Hearing what Shi Wu said, Edogawa Ranpo did not show any other expression on his face, and he still seemed to be a little too quiet.

"What's wrong?" The disadvantages of blindness are quite obvious at this moment. In the quiet and windless sealed space, Shi Wu can only perceive by hearing and smell.

So Edogawa Ranpo was only quiet for a short while, and Shi Wu couldn't stand it.

He does like quietness, but the premise is that he is not blind-and he has always liked the outdoors more than indoors.

Tokiwa couldn't see Ranpo Edogawa's expression, he could only hear the usually cheerful voice rising again at this moment, and said: "Dr. Yoseno's medical skills are the best!"

"I can definitely cure your eyes!"

Tokiwa couldn't see, so he had no idea how serious Ranpo Edogawa's expression was when he said this.

Holding Ranpo Edogawa's hand as usual, Tokiwa finally returned to the reception room that had been modeled in his mind.

——Well, it turns out that being able to "see" makes people more relaxed.

Ranpo Edogawa looked a little dissatisfied, but didn't say anything. After all, he knew that when Tokiwa had not yet fully accepted him, only by letting Tokiwa calculate and think for himself could he feel safe.

This sense of security that comes from relying on oneself cannot be solved by Edogawa Ranpo's words.

Even if Edogawa Ranpo really proposed to lend himself to Tokiwa's eyes.

When the two opened the door, the outside looked the same as before they entered the office, everyone was busy with their own work.

But without thinking, Ranpo knew that these colleagues must have returned to their offices in an instant after hearing the sound.

The answer is Nakajima Atsushi, who has not reacted yet and is standing there blankly with a confused look on his face!

"Atsushi - just put the snacks you bought in my office!"

"Ranpo, the snacks you have eaten this month have exceeded the standard." Fukuzawa Yukichi said while sitting on the sofa, giving the feeling that he was sitting in a tea room.

Edogawa Ranpo smiled and shook the hand that was holding Tokino: "But I'm not alone now!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi was choked by this remark.

Snacks are not the point now. Fukuzawa Yukichi used his eyes to signal Ranpo, wanting to know more about Tokiwu.

Edogawa Ranpo did not hide it, but dragged Tokiwu to the infirmary openly, saying as he walked: "I will let Dr. Yosano check his eyes first."

Fukuzawa Yukichi breathed a sigh of relief. It is always good to be willing to see a doctor. Yosano Akiko's ability is called [Please Don't Die]. As long as there is still breath, broken limbs can be regenerated.

——Although there are certain disadvantages.

Even as a detective, he wouldn't boss the doctor around. Standing at the door of the infirmary, Ranpo Edogawa confirmed for the last time, "You really don't need me to accompany you?" Shi Wu

nodded obediently, "It's okay."

"Be sure to call me if you need anything?" Ranpo Edogawa said this, just like watching a child go out for the first time.

Leaning against the doorrail of the infirmary with Akiko Yosano, he looked extremely helpless: "Mr. Ranpo, don't you trust me?"

And this is the inside of the detective agency, not the clinic of some black-hearted doctor, right?

Ranpo Edogawa turned his head every few steps, and after watching the door of the infirmary closed, he sat cross-legged opposite Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"Don't worry, President. He's not afraid of you." Ranpo Edogawa saw at a glance what his president was concerned about.

After all, that guy doesn't even know you, the president!

Fukuzawa Yukichi, who didn't hear Edogawa Ranpo's inner criticism, still had a blank expression on his face, but the tension in his body was obviously reduced by half.

They were communicating outside and inside the infirmary.

Yosano Akiko tried to soften her tone and asked some questions about the eyes and the body in the gentlest way.

Shiwu also answered honestly. If he didn't know, he would just say he didn't know - and then he perfectly achieved the goal of not knowing three things.

Yosano Akiko: "..."

"I roughly know what you want to ask." Without Edogawa Ranpo by his side, Shiwu's attitude was a little colder. He stretched out his hand and knocked on his eyes in the surprised eyes of Yosano Akiko.

Unlike ordinary people's eyeballs, the black-haired young man's green eyes look like beautiful glass balls. When knocked, they really make a crisp sound like glass!

"This is a prosthetic eye. It's okay if you need to take it out for your examination." Shi Wu said with his head tilted.

This vest of [Edogawa Ranpo] is really defective in the literal sense.

There are no so-called eyeballs in the eyes of the vest - it's really just a pair of black blood holes.

When he drew this vest, in order to not look like a horror movie, Shi Wu asked the system to wrap some bandages around the eyes of the vest. He didn't expect that he would choose this vest to register later, so he asked the system to exchange for a pair of fake eyes that were no different from bandages. Anyway, you

can't see it, no matter what, it can't scare people, right? Shi Wu thought so.

The author has something to say:

Shi Wu: I am very well behaved.
