Chapter 42: The Literary Master Who Gave Up Literature and Turned to Martial Arts 8



"Mr. Ranbu, are we back——?"

Kunikida Doppo's words came to an abrupt end. He was one step behind Dazai Osamu, and when he was almost at the door, Dazai Osamu stopped for a second and pushed him to the front. Kunikida Doppo looked at him in confusion, and felt that there seemed to be something strange about him, but he couldn't see the problem.

He kept the doubt in his heart and raised his hand to open the door.

——The door handle was freezing cold.

Kunikida Dopo was caught off guard by the freezing cold. His consciousness shrank beneath his fingertips, and in an instant, the empty space in front of his eyes was occupied by a certain existence due to the blue light of a hand stretched out from the side.

The coldness made my fingers numb, but the feeling gradually disappeared when the temperature rose.

When Kunikida Doppo's hand grasped the door handle, it touched the half-empty hand that was like a ghostly mist. He quickly withdrew his hand with a hint of horror in his eyes.

A black figure with only a simple human-like outline stood in front of the door, with two round holes in its face, probably its eyes. It turned its head and stared at Kunikida Dopo. After a moment, a thin, bright red slit appeared under its eyes, like a sly smile, or a scary little man in a stick drawing.

The door opened from the inside.

"You guys really did this on purpose."

Dazai Osamu finally helped to solve the ghost with "No Longer Human". "Edogawa Ranpo" watched the "murder" scene for a while, and Dazai Osamu finally returned to the sofa intact. He sighed and felt a little regretful.

At this point, most of the matter has actually come to an end, and what remains is the problem with "Akutagawa Ryunosuke".

"Edogawa Ranpo" successfully took the last candy, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in his mouth. There were three ghosts in this world. The one in the paper before, the second one at the door, and the last one hid.

He narrowed his eyes. The guy's disguise was related to "Akutagawa Ryunosuke". As long as he could do it, there would be no problem. Thinking of this, he felt a little headache. In the end, he decided to go and take a look himself.

I hope you can hold on to your beliefs, Ryunosuke.

The hand of "Akutagawa Ryunosuke" was bleeding. The sharp blade came unexpectedly, and "Rashomon" took it with his hand subconsciously before he could use it. The blade cut his palm, leaving a long wound.

His hand trembled unconsciously due to the pain, but Akutagawa Ryunosuke himself didn't feel anything at all. He stared at the two people in front of him and felt as if he had been thrown into a BE line by someone.

"…Silver? And——"

His vocal cords were pulled and he made a hoarse voice. He had been ordered by the port mafia recently, and it was difficult for him to squeeze out a break. It was inevitable that his physical condition was not good. "Akutagawa Ryunosukera" raised his hand to confirm that the scar was real and not an illusion.

The black beast poked out from the hem of his clothes and was ready to attack, but was stopped in an emergency. "Akutagawa Ryunosuke" vaguely felt that something was wrong, as if something was trying to confuse his cognitive ability.

A layer of white fog covered his vision, and he could only rely on hearing to identify the enemy's position. "Rashomon" split under control and swept in different directions.

Since we can't determine the location, we might as well just attack everywhere.

This is what I saw when I arrived at "Edogawa Ranpo".

The indiscriminate attack of "Rashomon" brushed past him, and the safe position he had obtained in advance was an absolute shield. He exhaled lightly and carelessly, and the dagger flashed slightly.

"It seems that Ranpo-sama has arrived at the perfect time."

"Edogawa Ranpo" raised his head and was stunned when he saw the two people in front of "Akutagawa Ryunosuke". He expected Akutagawa Gin to appear, but there was another person who was so familiar that he could not ignore him.

It's him.

In other words, this is the original appearance of 0829 who plays "Ranpo Edogawa".

This last ghost can snoop into people's memories and transform itself into the most important person to them, so the appearance of Akutagawa Gin is natural, but the fact that 0829 appears here is completely the existence in the memory of the person who plays "Akutagawa Ryunosuke" himself.

Does he know me?

The hand swinging the knife was a moment slower, and the ghost's sharp claws were already rapidly approaching and grabbing at Edogawa Ranpo's heart. If it landed on his hand, the ghost would probably crush his heart directly.

Without hesitation, he quickly turned the knife from bottom to top, and at the same time, "Rashomon" formed a sharp blade to help block it. The special dagger has a special attack against ghosts, and the smelly blood immediately splashed. It melted into a small hole on the ground.

"Edogawa Ranpo" gave up and stepped back to avoid it. However, the thin fabric was not as corrosion-resistant as the ground. Although some water slipped through, it only splashed on the sleeves and did not hurt the skin.

He glanced at "Akutagawa Ryunosuke" and knew that now was not a suitable time for conversation. If he failed, the real person would probably chase him across the world to have a heart-to-heart talk.

"This time you owe it to Ranpo-sama."

It was Ranpo Edogawa's own decision to come out and help. If he really wanted to keep it secret, few people except his peers would know what he was going to do.

"Akutagawa Ryunosuke" only saw cracks on the back of his hand, just like when porcelain is broken, and the silver light on "Edogawa Ranpo"'s dagger became stronger and stronger and continued to spread upwards.

The "superpowers" he possesses are a gift from the consciousness of that world, but they are also a curse.

“…”

“…”

0714 is sitting opposite 0829, and next to him in the air is a screen interface that is being updated.

At this moment, 0714 felt a chill on his back. His intuition warned him that he had to answer all the questions properly or he might get beaten. He was so grateful for the binding relationship between his partners that he was now terrified.

0829 seemed to have no intention of communicating with him. He turned his head to check the update progress on the screen. It was only a little bit away. Then the screen went black and slowly loaded back to the original interface like a cell phone restarting.

The basic functions have not changed much, except that the card pool has an additional function to randomly match cards with world missions - probably to make it more challenging.

This feature is currently only available in co-op mode.

So 0829 decided to skip this function for the time being, and he planned to choose a simpler task to relax. After finishing his reflection, 0714 stood on the other side and stretched out a sinful hand towards the cooperation button.

The flashing light of the cards could blind people on the spot. The golden back and the colorful light all reminded them how rare these two cards were (?)

0829 The look of death.

He has no intention of doing a cooperative mission!

But the cards have all come out, and he can only hope that the random mission will be simple, so that he can relax his overused brain a little - not everyone can match Edogawa Ranpo's talent.

He randomly picked one of the two cards, and before he turned it over, he caught a glimpse of the card in 0714's hand. It looked familiar, after all, he had just played the role of a being in a parallel world not long ago.

There is an inexplicable feeling of uncertainty lingering.

0829 turned to the front and immediately fell into deep thought about the characters.

Is this good or bad?

"SSR [King of Sheep - Nakahara Chuuya]

Introduction: He is the leader of the Sheep. In reality, he is not considered a person in power. To some Sheep, he is a shield. But whether he knows this or not is probably out in the open.

Note: Please try to reduce the use of cards related to Dazai Osamu as much as possible to avoid damaging the "Dazai Osamu" card.

0829 slowly raised a smile: "...What a coincidence, what do you think?"

0714 Holding the card of [Mafia Leader Dazai Osamu], I began to think about the possibility of not getting beaten to death during the role-playing.

Two system light balls were swaying beside him, and sympathy seemed to overflow and pierce him.

But who is more dangerous?

The author has something to say: There is no love line in 0829 (very loud), it’s actually about the brother, but I’ll save this for part 2.

I couldn't control my anxiety, and I managed to get up and type more than 2,000 words.

Next time I will save the entire text before opening it.
