Chapter 152 The situation in Yokohama is really strange.
"An unregistered psychic has appeared in Yokohama. Based on current intelligence, a number of people have recently been infected by his abilities."
Edogawa Ranpo put the candy into his mouth, tasted the sweetness, and squinted his eyes unconsciously.
He even handed the player a candy without any tension and asked, "Would you like some candy?"
"Thank you!" Fushimi Kyoji took it and looked at the candy in his hand. It had ordinary laser wrapping paper and no brand name was seen on it.
"Well, I got it for free anyway," he said in a slurred voice without caring.
"so?"
Players analyzed the reason why Edogawa Ranpo found her: "How can I help?"
"No!" Edogawa Ranpo shook his head like a rattle, clutching the snacks in his arms tightly. A few bits of candy fell as he moved. "Although the infection is widespread, it hasn't had any serious consequences. Why should we stop it?"
As soon as Edogawa Ranpo finished speaking, the player heard a "puff" sound, and a candy fell out of thin air in front of her eyes, and was caught by Edogawa Ranpo with his quick eyes and hands.
In contrast, Edogawa Ranpo's arms were empty, and a large bag of candies fell to the ground like fireworks.
The player bent down to pick up the candy he had dropped. Upon closer inspection, he noticed the wrappers were identical, and a guess emerged in his mind: "Is this the ability of that psychic?"
Edogawa Ranpo denied: "No."
'Snap.'
Another candy.
Edogawa Ranpo picked it up with a smile, holding it up to show the player: "That's it."
"If you tell a lie, candy will fall from you. What an amazing supernatural power!"
Oh, now I understand why Edogawa Ranpo didn't want to find the psychic.
Occasionally, players will receive daily tasks issued by Edogawa Ranpo, such as buying snacks without being discovered by Fukuzawa Yukichi, meeting a lost person on the road and sending him back to the detective agency, etc.
The reward is better than nothing.
But the other person is so cute that it can be forgiven.
Although there were a few times when Chuuya Nakahara saw the player with Edogawa Ranpo,
They will be pulled aside by the newly promoted quasi-cadres and taught a helpless lesson that the port mafia should not get too close to the people of the Armed Detective Agency.
If you encounter such a situation, you can hesitantly mention another person who also often goes to the detective agency to divert attention.
This is usually followed by Chuuya Nakahara's cry of "—Dazai!?" echoing throughout the Port Mafia building, and the player is always able to escape unscathed.
The plan works!
Edogawa Ranpo, who made his own candies anytime and anywhere, no longer needed to secretly ask players to buy snacks for him from outside without his parents' knowledge before the psychic's ability was released.
Unemployed...
The supernatural powers that continue to spread in Yokohama will not harm people's health, but the impact it causes is not only reflected in the physical body.
As the number of infected people continues to increase, more and more people are aware of the inconvenience of lying and losing candies uncontrollably.
The port mafia also suspended negotiations that required the presence of its leader.
"After all, he is a dirty adult to whom lying comes more naturally than breathing." According to Dazai Osamu, who laughed with joy at the news he had just received, this was entirely in response to Mori Ogai's existing supernatural powers.
Mori Ogai is very self-aware and frankly admits his feelings: "Even I would find it difficult to say something and a piece of candy suddenly appeared out of nowhere."
The player reached out to catch the candy that fell from Mori Ogai, and asked in surprise, "Is this also a lie?"
Mori Ogai smiled without saying anything, his attitude said it all.
Ugh!
From this perspective, Mr. Mori really cannot be allowed to see anyone.
Just think about setting a trap for someone secretly and then being exposed on the spot, and you will feel helpless.
"Well, it's better to cancel unnecessary meetings until things are resolved."
He said this, but there was no further action.
At least the players didn't feel that Moriowa was really troubled by the current inconvenience.
and.
Fushimi Kyoji subconsciously looked at the other person.
Just admit it directly.
"Hypocrisy, calculation, arrogance..."
Mori Ogai slowly recited the derogatory words one by one, a smile appearing on his face: "This is my basic character."
The player's reaction seemed to hit the mark. His eyes, which always held deep meaning, narrowed slightly, and unsurprisingly, he exclaimed, "Ah..."
"It's still the same reaction of not knowing the situation but not being surprised at all."
He chuckled insincerely, "Please continue to tolerate me this time."
"Like before."
Please open Japanese-Japanese translation communication.
There are also people who are completely unaffected.
"There has never been a single candy on Chuuya!" the player said her discovery in surprise.
Dazai Osamu answered first: "Of course the brain of a slug is small to a certain extent, so of course it won't lie!"
"You lying bastard, do you want to get beaten up?" Nakahara Chuuya threatened with a gloomy face.
"Besides, why is it that the guy who deserves to be seen for what a terrible person he is is not affected."
Nakahara Chuuya pointed at Dazai Osamu, who was feigning innocence, and said, "If the supernatural power took effect on him, he would definitely be buried by the overwhelming amount of candy."
"That's pitiful," the player said. "Dazai won't get any free candy."
Dazai Osamu blinked and immediately got into the role: "Yes, so pitiful."
"...Come and sympathize with me." He said it softly, pretending to be fragile and self-pitying, but without concealing the smile on his face as he said it.
Nakahara Chuuya let out a full-throated "Huh?" and turned his head away in disbelief: "Don't be fooled by this guy's pitiful appearance!"
Fushimi Kyoki handed the still-warm candy in his hand to Dazai Osamu: "Give it to Dazai."
Dazai Osamu curled his lips: "What? You say 'pitiful', but you don't mean it at all."
Nakahara Chuuya, who was happy to see the other party frustrated, suddenly felt refreshed: "Ha, you also say such things sometimes."
It really will appear after lying!
However, lies related to reality, such as "I got a perfect score on a certain grade in junior high school," which have nothing to do with the game content, will be displayed as [Failed].
"Hey! Over there..." The arrogant tone was instantly silenced when he saw Nakahara Chuuya standing there.
The player follows the source of the sound and sees the stiff Oguri Mushitaro.
"Your special ability can solve this annoying ability, right? Get rid of my special ability quickly." Oguri Mushitaro restrained his arrogance, but still had a clear goal.
Dodging the scattered candies that Oguri Mushitaro had dropped along the way, Ango Sakaguchi, who had caught up with him, expressed his intentions. "We've informed Chief Mori in advance and would like to borrow your No Longer Human."
Oguri Mushitaro couldn't stand the situation where a candy would pop out from nowhere from time to time, which made the Special Ability Agent Department helpless.
"You should use your brain a little bit," Dazai said dully. "If it were useful, I would have been ordered by Mr. Mori to investigate the Port Mafia from head to toe."
Sakaguchi Ango remained unmoved: "Thank you for your help."
Dazai Osamu touched Mushitaro Oguri perfunctorily, and then wiped his hands on Nakahara Chuuya's coat.
"Hello!"
"asshole……"
One simple action angered two people at the same time.
"What's with your attitude? Do you think I'm dirty?"
Oguri Mushitaro pointed at Nakahara Chuuya, who had his jacket used as a towel to wipe his hands and looked annoyed.
"And him, is this how you, the Port Mafia, let such an unstable and dangerous person be allowed here?"
He gritted his teeth and said, "Yokohama is definitely the worst city I've ever been to. Leaving is indeed the right decision!"
A candy rolled to Fushimi Kyoji's feet, and everyone stared at the candy in silence.
“…”
The player said dimly, "You say one thing and mean another."
"You must be joking!" Oguri Mushitaro reacted strongly, "Who knows what this supernatural power is?"
"Don't look at me that weird way, asshole!"
To prove he wasn't a tsundere character who said one thing and did another, he said to the player emotionlessly, "You little brat, you're actually quite pleasant sometimes."
Even the roundabout compliments seemed to be done reluctantly!
However, candy did fall after he finished speaking.
Qualifies as lying.
"You'd better solve these troubles as soon as possible."
No Longer Human has no effect on his supernatural powers. Knowing that this situation cannot be resolved in the near future, Oguri Mushitaro is unwilling to stay in the Port Mafia for a moment longer.
Ignoring Ango Sakaguchi beside him, he turned and walked away.
"Goodbye, you annoying little brat."
Looking at the back of the person who almost tripped over the sudden sugar under his feet.
The players were confused.
How strange.
Good words and bad words are all lies.
