The long and thin scratches on the ground are particularly conspicuous.

Holding the rims of his glasses gently in his hand, Edogawa squatted on the ground, his eyes moving along and stopping at a point not far away, where the trace disappeared.

Behind him, Nakahara Chuuya was angered by Dazai Osamu's words, but he still had the ability to think clearly. Knowing that his supernatural powers were useless against this guy, Nakahara Chuuya easily clenched his fist and knocked him down.

"Ouch! That hurts! The slug is so fierce--!"

"You, the mackerel, are always trying to provoke me!"

"It's you, Chuuya, who has a bad temper. If you get angry all the time, you won't grow taller... ah, I forgot, Chuuya, you're not growing taller anymore."

Nakahara Chuuya was caught by Dazai Osamu's accurate trap and gnashed his teeth: "...You bastard--!!"

Kunikida Doppo, who was only three or four steps away from the two men, was used to this scene.

At first, he was a little worried that Dazai Osamu's small body would not be able to withstand the beating, but after seeing that every time the two quarreled, Dazai Osamu was beaten unilaterally, he was able to ignore the quarreling as much as possible and concentrate on his own affairs.

Slightly changing the search location to avoid distracting his attention, Kunikida put away his notebook and carefully searched for clues that might have been left nearby.

Although he had seen the other side before, Nakajima Atsushi, who could not get used to it no matter how many times, quietly moved away, stood together with the girl in kimono, and started searching from the other direction.

The result was that they ended up meeting Kunikida by different paths, and the two groups of people communicated with each other but could not come to any conclusion.

"Nothing." Izumi Kyoka shook her head. They had been following Ryunosuke Akutagawa's route to find this organization's base that was obviously destroyed by "Rashomon", but they couldn't find even a single obvious clue.

Oda walked closer to Ranpo, trying to speak softly so as not to disturb Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning. He slowly retreated to the end of the mark, always feeling that there was an indescribable sense of disharmony somewhere.

"Ranpo-sama knows."

Edogawa Ranpo stood up straight, raised his hand to adjust the position of the detective hat on his head, his emerald green eyes were like a cunning cat, and he raised a confident smile, successfully diverting everyone's attention.

"Akutagawa Ryunosuke is right here."

"Here?"

Black-framed glasses rested firmly on his nose, and Ranpo brushed off the nonexistent dust on his knees. "The room was hidden by a strange concealment method. The "intruder" that Oda mentioned... almost fooled Ranpo-sama with the things that were attached to him."

Edogawa Ranbu puffed up his cheeks and looked unhappy: "You have to pay a price for things that don't belong to you, right, unknown "invader"?"

“I was discovered.”

A strange voice took over the words of the detective, who was standing not far away, but no one noticed that there was always someone there - a person with psychic abilities.

Whether intentionally or not, the "invader" was standing opposite to the Oda Line.

"What about a price?" he sneered. "I never pay a price."

Edogawa Ranpo narrowed his eyes, put his glasses in his pocket, and said with long, chewed syllables: "Liar."

"I'm afraid the existence that resides in you has begun to backfire."

There is nothing good in this world that can be gained for free.

The "invaders" and the violating systems are both collaborators and unilateral reserve feeders.

In this situation, some "invaders" who have persisted through dozens of worlds discovered the truth and chose to steal a small amount of energy and look for system "bugs" when the opportunity arose.

Fujino, the "invader" in front of everyone's eyes, is one of them. He is not smart, otherwise he would not stay in this world because of the characters in it.

What Edogawa Ranpo deduced was indeed Fujino's current situation.

He asked the system for too many abilities and talents, and the result was that the system wanted to seize and devour his soul due to insufficient energy.

First, the Hong Kong black technical personnel were unable to find out the real location at first, and even the text messages and phone calls were only possible after he exchanged the relevant capabilities with the system.

Later on, he gained the psychic ability to interfere with the thinking of a designated person, and the spatial ability to construct space and drag Akutagawa in.

Fujino overdrew the system's energy storage time and time again, but he never worried about dying - he was lucky enough to find a loophole in the system.

A dark red light symbolizing the activation of supernatural powers surrounded Nakahara Chuuya. When he learned that the culprit was in front of him, he felt extremely bad.

Dazai Osamu stood beside him, raised his hand to put on Nakahara Chuuya's shoulder, lowered his head slightly and sighed, looking helpless: "Chuya, all you can think about is fighting, what a vicious person."

With a glare at him, Nakahara Chuuya stood still for a moment, raised his elbow and hit the man next to him hard on the waist, successfully making Dazai Osamu tremble.

"Where is Akutagawa?" Nakahara Chuuya ignored Dazai and looked unfriendly.

Fujino smiled slowly when he heard this: "Of course it's in my secret room."

He glanced at the people present and said thoughtfully, "It seems that you have already dealt with the other one."

The other one, of course, refers to Inoue Sakurako, who was sent away by Oda after he got the information.

The word "send away" is indeed just a literal meaning.

The magazines of the double-guns that Oda carried were empty, and the bullets were all condensed with energy after the detection system verified that the person was indeed an "intruder".

Firing a gun will directly clear the illegal system, and the energy consumed by other worlds will be returned to the original world. The souls of other worlds will be sent back to the world they came from, and everything that happened here will be forgotten.

Inoue Sakura's situation was special. After the illegal system and the "invaders" were dealt with, her already dying body immediately fell down.

Fortunately, with Akiko Xie Ye by his side, the conditions for the supernatural power "Please Don't Die" were met, and the person was restored to a healthy state.

The real Inoue Sakurako returned to her body again, and cried together with the Inoue couple who had rushed over after hearing the news.

Oda put his hand on the gun and did not fire directly.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa is still trapped somewhere by Fujino. He is not sure whether Fujino has any backup plan. If he shoots rashly, it may cause unnecessary harm to Akutagawa.

"You are a 'pure' person, right?" Fujino caught Oda's action and looked thoughtful. "If that's the case, you must not stay here."

As he spoke, several thin chains rose from the ground and attacked Oda. The chains gathered together and intertwined to form a tight net, trapping Oda from top to bottom.

The bullets flew towards the tightest part of the net as the gunshots sounded. Oda Sora reached out and picked up Ranpo Edogawa who was caught in the net and took two or three long strides to escape from the attack range.

Oda remained expressionless as he handed the detective in his arms to Nakajima Atsushi and quickly approached Fujino. His magazine was empty with only two bullets left, and he had to finish him off within two shots.

Nakahara Chuuya moved at the same time, and his supernatural power was added to the gravel on the ground, and he kicked them away one by one, which made people feel more oppressive than the gun.

The rubble blocked Fujino's vision. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nakahara Chuuya rushed over, raised his foot and kicked Fujino, who immediately flew backwards.

The daily use of those abilities would deduct energy, and Fujino ended up overdrawing on them. The illegal system in his body seemed to realize that it could not escape, and pretended to be dead when Fujino was about to redeem his new abilities.

Without the blessing of the ability to exchange, Fujino is just an ordinary person. Nakahara Chuuya's kick increased the force, and he fell to the ground with a wolf-like roll. The severe pain in his abdomen almost made him lose the ability to think.

The bloody smell rose up, and Fujino spat out a mouthful of blood, taking him a long time to recover.

The space created by the supernatural power appeared without the control of its owner. It was a square, box-like room with no doors or windows.

When Fujino saw the small house, he reacted and stretched out his hand to activate his special ability to hide it - Nakahara Chuuya reacted faster than him and added a hundred times the gravity to a piece of rubble.

Instantly, a big hole was smashed in the originally sealed wall. The moment the stone entered the house, the gravity was canceled and it rolled to the ground.

A pale hand walked out of the room, holding onto the wall. Akutagawa Ryunosuke's face was filled with gloom. In his other hand, he tightly grasped a few photos that were so wrinkled that the contents could not be seen clearly. He summoned "Rashomon" and tore them into pieces.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked straight at Fujino, who was lying on the ground in a panic, and his words seemed to imply that he would chop him into seven or eight pieces in the next moment.

"You are the one who has been harassing me in recent days." He said this with certainty, and he was even more certain of it from the frightened look in her eyes after she heard it.

The black beast was ready to move under the clothes. Nakajima Atsushi received Dazai's silent instructions and stammered to stop him: "Um, Akutagawa..."

"Renhu, what do you want to say?" Akutagawa said with a bad expression, "If you try to stop me, I will chop you into pieces too."

Nakajima Atsushi: ...

He drew a big word "sadness" for himself in his heart.

"Akutagawa." Nakahara Chuuya stepped on Fujino to prevent him from moving, interrupting the atmosphere that was about to start a one-sided fight between the two of them. He turned to the detective agency and said, "Do you have any idea how to deal with this guy?"

Edogawa Ranpo pulled a candy from his pocket and put it in his mouth. The hard candy made his cheeks puff up. "Just let Sakunosuke shoot, but that body is his own."

The implication is that firing the gun will only make the illegal system disappear, and Fujino himself will be left here.

This result can be said to be a welcome one, at least for Akutagawa, after all, he still has a chance to deal with this person.

Oda raised the gun and pointed it at Fujino's forehead. After the gunshot, the illegal system in Fujino's body disappeared completely, leaving Fujino with a dead heart.

The gun in his hand turned into a point of light and dissipated. Oda hesitated for a few seconds, and both tasks in the task list were marked as completed, which also meant that he should leave this world.

Although the other members of the detective agency were surprised by this, they soon came to their senses and expressed their understanding.

Oda was about to say goodbye when he was stopped by Dazai Osamu, who had expected this. Oda saw her own equally ethereal body in his eyes.

Oda paused, somehow understanding Dazai's expression, and then smiled helplessly: "I will definitely see you again, Dazai."

——In the distant future, the big dark red cat will appear on the window sill of the detective agency again, taking a nap with its tail wagging lazily, waiting for the members to come back.
