Chapter 208 Two Gachapon
"You mean, you are the Gachapon brother who came out of that Gachapon?"
The little boy sitting on the sofa was wearing a suit and shorts. He stared at the person sitting on the sofa opposite him speechlessly and made a joke: "Come on, how can a real person appear in the capsule toy? It's such a small capsule toy. Did you use Doraemon's props to make it bigger?"
The black-haired boy sitting opposite him was reading a novel he had just copied from the table. Hearing this, he answered without even looking up, "Maybe, I don't remember it anyway."
"When I closed my eyes, I found myself sitting in your bathtub. I couldn't remember what happened before, and I even forgot your name. Fortunately, your clothes were a little short and I could barely wear them. Otherwise, I would have considered robbing the next door." The other party said calmly and a little scary, "But robbing clothes sounds embarrassing, so I didn't go."
Kudo Shinichi almost fell over: "Hey, is this the reason for giving up the robbery?!"
"What else?" the boy asked. "Oh, I saw your name on the desk in your room when I was looking for clothes... I didn't expect you to have such a hobby as collecting newspaper clippings made from your own reports."
"You see... No, that's not what I did!!" Kudo Shinichi slid off the sofa in a hurry, "That was given to me by someone else."
The boy paused, finally closed the book in his hand, and pointed out: "I know, isn't it obvious? I just said you collected it, not that you did it."
"All the photos in the clippings were taken by the reporter and were decorated with delicate frames. The edges of the paper tape were hand-cut into irregular lace. Although some boys would use this method, you are not the type who is proud of your appearance. The bedroom decoration is nothing exquisite except for the dressing mirror. The dressing mirror is also covered in dust. It has not been used for at least half a month."
He suddenly seemed to be thinking about something: "No, those football models and Sherlock Holmes badges are very exquisitely collected..."
"If you made your own clipping for your own enjoyment, and spent so much effort to make it so beautiful, would you just put it on the upper left corner of your desk?" The boy shrugged. "After all, judging from the layout of your room, you are right-handed. By the way, it's nice to put a photo of a girl you like on the right side of your desk, but it's easy to break it at that angle."
As he spoke, the impatience on Kudo Shinichi's face gradually disappeared. He finally calmed down and looked at the boy who suddenly appeared at his door, wearing his casual clothes and claiming to be his brother, with a normal eye.
He inadvertently glanced at the book that the other person had been reading with great interest - it was the Sherlock Holmes collection that he had placed in the living room last night!
"Are you a detective too?" Kudo Shinichi asked, then suddenly changed the subject and said quickly, "Which case happened the day after Christmas?"
The boy glanced at him strangely and said without hesitation: "The Sapphire Case. By the way, I... can be considered a detective, but my physical memory tells me that I should have been a policeman before... no, a police academy student."
Obviously, Kudo Shinichi didn't say what case he was referring to, and there was no Sapphire Case in that detective collection, so it didn't exist. I just happened to see it, so there is only one answer.
The other party is also a Sherlock Holmes fan!
Kudo Shinichi nodded calmly: "Okay, I believe you for now... But how do you know I'm Kudo Shinichi?"
Generally speaking, no one would associate a child with a teenager who is almost an adult at first sight, right?
He thought the boy would go on to give a reasoning or something else to prove his point, but he didn't expect the boy to look confused as well.
"I don't know..." The boy who called himself the Gachapon brother crossed his legs and casually placed his hands on his knees. "My instinct urged me to find the 'brother' who twisted me out to sign the contract, so when I saw you for the first time, I knew you were the one I was looking for."
It sounds very metaphysical, just as metaphysical as this person's appearance and identity...For some reason, Kudo Shinichi immediately thought of the game city that suddenly appeared like the other person.
...game city.
Kudo Shinichi's gaze froze on the boy's face.
No, not a boy... The other party just said that he was a police academy student, which means he was definitely an adult at least. Moreover, this face was clearly the so-called "S-class brother" he saw on the poster!
The strange thing is that the brother on the poster gave him the feeling of "this person is very mature" at the first sight, so he always thought that person was over 22 years old. However, the person in front of him was still a teenager regardless of this, and did not have the dangerous feeling of the young man on the poster.
It’s not that the boy looks harmless, but it’s something else - detective intuition?
"Then what about the signing of the contract you mentioned?" Kudo Shinichi temporarily suppressed the doubts in his mind and chose to ask this question which sounded more important.
The boy who answered all the questions throughout the process also answered frankly this time: "It's common sense that has been engraved in my mind since I opened my eyes. The Gachapon brother needs to spend some time with the 'brother' or 'sister' and then the other party decides whether to sign a contract. If they finally choose to sign, then the Gachapon brother will become a real brother. I think you can understand this explanation."
"A real brother..." Kudo Shinichi stroked his chin and pondered the word, and was suddenly surprised, "You mean, in the social sense?"
He didn't say out loud the more incredible imagination, but the boy said it for him.
"Yes, that includes memory modification." The other party said seriously, "Only when everyone thinks that I am your brother, I can be considered your 'real brother'."
The mastermind behind this is also responsible for brainwashing the people around him! Isn't the guy who created this brother gashapon really planting his own spies among the people for the purpose of ruling the world...
Kudo Shinichi complained bitterly in his heart, but he actually knew it was impossible.
Dr. Agasa, who had been listening with half-belief, finally believed that the little boy talking to the boy was Kudo Shinichi, who he had watched grow up. He couldn't help but whispered in Kudo Shinichi's ear: "Shinichi, this guy looks very dangerous... Are you going to send him out?"
"How is that possible? It's safer to keep the unstable factor by my side." Kudo Shinichi waved his hands and showed his excitement frankly, "And he also likes Sherlock Holmes... No, and he also said that he has lost his memory. There is a high possibility that he is the victim, right? This case is really interesting. I will definitely solve it as soon as possible!"
They tried to lower their voices as much as possible, but Chijiang Nayue, who was sitting opposite them, still heard everything clearly.
In his mind, he silently changed the location for his little detective's extracurricular practice activities, and when he was about to go back, he informed Shinichi that he would spend his summer vacation in Yokohama.
Although he knew that people in different worlds were different, but after not seeing such a stubborn and courageous Shinichi for a long time, Akajinazuki couldn't help but stiffen his fist slightly.
Even his assistant D in the previous world was several times more cunning than the ordinary Kudo Shinichi because he lived in dangerous Tokyo.
Speaking of which, after being locked up in the main world by his friends for three days, he couldn't bear it any longer and asked [Shu] to send him out to do a mission... Those were not just three simple days. Just thinking back on it, Chijiang Nayue's expression was a little distorted.
For three days, he had nothing but breakfast, and he didn't like the food. If he tried to turn on the stove by himself, Noah would tell Fu Jingguang and he would be punished to drink three glasses of vegetable juice that night.
After deliberately turning Furuya Rei into a baby, he turned himself into a baby in order to fight the opponent openly. As a result, Dazai Osamu who happened to be at the door saw it, and with a look of reminiscence, he told Kudo Shinichi and others who came to visit him about his experience growing up in Yokohama before the age of five.
He was completely exposed by his unscrupulous teacher and guardian...
There is no place for him in that home anymore, so why not just leave?
Before entering this world, [Book] showed him more detailed information than any previous time. It is said that because this world is very unstable, it was easy for [Book] to sneak in and search for information, and he encountered no resistance throughout the process.
Chijiang Nayue was also very curious about what circumstances had caused the world to become so unstable.
Then he looked at the data.
In this world, he has always been Kaluuya. After his parents died, he was not taken back to Yokohama by Dazai, but accepted the undercover mission as well. Karasuma Renya wanted him to use his parents' undercover identities to gain the trust of the public security and go to the police academy.
What happened during that time belonged to his pseudo memory and would not be told to him in advance. He only knew that Kaluya died within half a year after he graduated from the police academy. Before his death, he blew up the organization's bases and research institutes across the country, and then took Karasuma Renya with him to self-destruct in a villa in the suburbs of Tokyo.
Chijiang Nayue was in awe: Although it was too disgusting to die together with the old man, this isotope has done many things that other isotopes have not done. It is obvious that he is crazier than the 'Chijiang Nayue' in most parallel worlds.
Yes, he likes it.
As for why he chose Gachapon Brother as the script for himself in this world... well, one reason is to facilitate resurrection, because Gachapon Brother's setting includes 'the dead returning to the human world', and after the world consciousness recognizes it, one can be resurrected directly without wasting time.
The other one is just for fun.
He is imprisoned by his own gorillas, and he is not allowed to play with gorillas from other worlds?
"In that case, there should be a name to call you." Kudo Shinichi and Dr. Agasa on the other side also ended their discussion at this time. The former looked at him seriously and said, "Why don't you give yourself a name? First use the name that you can remember the most. Maybe you can use it to find your identity later."
The black-haired, red-eyed young man pondered for a moment and slowly uttered a few words.
"Furiya Rei." He said solemnly, "My intuition tells me that I am very familiar with this name... So before I lost my memory, maybe my name was Furuya Rei."
