See you at the old place

Most of the houses on Leibo Street are dilapidated, so the roofs start to sway when you stand on them.

A black and white cat was trying hard to keep its balance on the roof, then it sped up to catch up with the person in front of it.

〖Hey, why are we running?〗

Shika Ninja did not answer 005's puzzled question. He needed to get rid of them, but it was a bit difficult.

The terrain of Leibo Street is complex, which is very suitable for shaking off pursuers, but the prerequisite is that you have the strength to do so.

With a loud bang, a big hole appeared in the already thin roof, and then the entire roof collapsed.

Before he lost his footing, Luan Bu took a deep breath and leaped higher. The infinitely extended blade had a clear purpose, heading straight for his back.

However, with the interference of Fukuzawa Yukichi and the reminder of 005, it was successfully avoided.

Like a cat catching a mouse, several people started circling around Leibo Street.

Fukuzawa Yukichi didn't dare to fall too far behind, as he was afraid that the people in front of him would not be able to deal with him seriously. But he also didn't understand why Ranbu chose to run away instead of trusting that they could handle the matter.

But if you think about it carefully, it would certainly not be easy for a person who has just gained freedom to trust them.

"Alice - wait for me."

Mori Owl, who was carrying a lot of things, was chasing Alice in front of him. On the surface, he was chasing someone, but in fact, he was moving towards Ranbu.

Panting, Edogawa took a shortcut. He accurately guessed his other self's thoughts and caught up with him at the fastest speed.

The sound of falling could be heard from time to time. There was a road running across the middle of the house, which was the intersection of two uneven areas.

The road is three or four meters wide, so it is impossible to jump over it directly. If you want to go down first, there is a sunken staircase below, which is estimated to be about four or five meters high.

Random steps stopped at the edge, 005 rushed forward and almost fell. The flying blade extended infinitely, and then twisted and attacked.

"Wait!" Fukuzawa Yukichi, who was a few steps behind, shouted, "Don't move."

The knife was not meant to kill, so Luan Bu naturally did not dodge. The sharp tip of the knife passed by his face, as if it was a warning.

"I hope you can come back with me." Suehiro swung his sword and turned his wrist. "Currently, we judge that subject 005 is a threat. We allow the use of force to suppress him."

Ranbu raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. Suehiro Tetsuji slowly approached, sword still in hand.

Although the person in front of me looked weak, his eyes kept darting around as if he was looking for a chance to escape.

Suehiro Tetsuji did not let his guard down, but another identical voice came from below.

"Right now!" Edogawa Ranpo ran out from the path, making a trumpet with his hand and shouting, "Mr. Fukuzawa——"

Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned as the shout echoed back. He subconsciously thought that he was being called, so when he saw Ranbu stepping back and looking back, he quickly stretched out his hand and shouted, "Don't jump!"

Because of my understanding of "Luanbu", I guessed his thoughts when I saw that little movement. But from this height, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to get up after falling.

This reminded Fukuzawa Yukichi of Mori Ogai's words, who said in a nonchalant tone: "It seems that for this Ranpo-kun, freedom is more important than life."

If he had finally escaped from the laboratory, he naturally didn't want to be taken back. But Fukuzawa Yukichi didn't have time to explain because he hadn't gained Ranbu's trust yet.

Tetsuta Suehiro realized the intention of the person in front of him, so he rushed over quickly.

But falling in a straight line is faster, or in other words, before preparing to jump down, Luanbu has already calculated the distance.

005 was stunned, but at the critical moment, his mind finally came to him. He stood closest, and while he jumped down in a hurry, he grabbed the latter's clothes tightly with his two claws.

〖Wow!〗

The reaction to falling from a height should be to curl up as much as possible. Several plans to reduce the impact occurred to him, but Shika Ninja still opened his hands and jumped down without hesitation.

Although he was confident that he could land safely, he couldn't do that now. His current physical strength couldn't support him to make a difficult reaction.

Edogawa Ranpo heard footsteps behind him, and Moriowa, who for once played the role of a good guy, ran over at the critical moment.

Time was running out, so Mori Ogai controlled Alice to move forward. Alice, who was originally like a normal person, was now emitting purple light.

She quickly flew into the air and approached the figure. But when she was close, a sharp knife came towards her and cut her body in half.

Mori Ogai's eyes widened unexpectedly, and as Alice disappeared, he sensed a familiar breath.

The knife split the psychic body in several places, and the falling person was caught along with it. Then the figure in mid-air inserted the knife into the wall as a buffer, and then landed smoothly.

But it seemed that he rushed over too hastily, and when he landed, he brought up a cloud of dust. The ground cracked into fine cracks, catching the person who was walking around slowly and standing up.

Suehiro Tetsuji swooped down from the sky, slashing down with the sword in his hand. He felt the breath of the strong man, and the sense of crisis made him make the most appropriate choice.

But before the dust had completely dispersed, a knife with murderous aura rushed forward to catch the falling sword. The sharp sound was a bit harsh, and the huge force made both parties retreat and avoid it.

Ranbu opened his eyes and found it interesting to see 005, who was still shaking and curled around his neck. But his feet had already touched the ground and he was put down.

He met a pair of familiar eyes, which were filled with anger and frowns. Then, the silver-haired man clenched his fist and hit the man in front of him on the head.

"It hurts!" Luanbu covered his head and pretended to be pitiful.

"Ranbu!" Fukuzawa said sharply, with some trembling in his voice, "Do you know what will happen if you jump from such a high place?!"

Angry, very angry.

Ranpo had never seen Fukuzawa so angry before, and although he had no memory of it happening before, he still felt uneasy subconsciously.

"I know I was wrong." Ranpo covered his head and apologized obediently, "I won't do it again next time. Mr. Fukuzawa, please don't be angry. And I knew you would come."

Fukuzawa hit the head again, hoping to wake Luanbu up. But seeing the man in front of him pursing his lips pitifully, he felt helpless.

Tetsuji Suehiro looked back and, after confirming that the silver-haired samurai in kimono was not an illusion, he immediately became alert again.

The second subject appeared.

After landing safely, Fukuzawa Yukichi was also very surprised when looking at the current scene.

Standing next to Ranbu is another him.

Edogawa Ranpo was an insider. He grumbled and then walked forward without hesitation: "That's right, it's too chaotic."

Looking at the other Ranpo, Fukuzawa's expression softened slightly. He nodded to Edogawa Ranpo as a greeting.

Alice reappeared, and she walked forward angrily, but kept a certain distance: "Damn it! This is too much, I hate you the most!"

"Alice-chan just wanted to complain for help. Mr. Fukuzawa is so ruthless." Mori Ogai wiped his eyes hypocritically and squinted at the other Fukuzawa Yukichi.

It's a familiar feeling, but compared to Fukuzawa Yukichi, the two are different.

The person standing in front of him, judging from experience, was probably Ranpo's "experimental subject". But Fukuzawa was definitely not that. He was more like...

Fukuzawa Yukichi from another world.

The silver-haired man's weapon is also a sword, but he is not wearing a kimono. Instead, he is wearing a neat silver-gray suit with a jacket of the same color draped over his shoulders to hide the scabbard behind his waist.

Morigu felt a strong "bloody" aura from that person. It didn't mean that Fukuzawa had any injuries, but that he had been in contact with life and death for many years and had been mixed in the battlefield.

Fukuzawa didn't have to show up, but Ranbu changed his mind at the last minute. He didn't want to do too many things by himself, and some things would be much easier if Mr. Fukuzawa was there.

Moreover, Leibo Street is not very big, so it is understandable that he couldn't find anyone right away, but if he searched too hard, Fu Ze would be exposed sooner or later.

After coming to this world, Fukuzawa probably understood the difference between the two worlds very quickly. Why did he understand it? He probably had to thank that blind organization.

The organization is not big, but it has been fighting against the Port Mafia for many years. As the leader, Fuze would not pay too much attention to these small organizations.

However, due to their familiarity with the terrain of Leibo Street, the organization accidentally intercepted the port mafia's business.

That's why Ranpo took Nakajima Atsushi with him to deal with the matter, which led to the organization's demise in exchange for the loss of an arm.

Of course, it was the leader Fukuzawa who did it himself. There are many capable people in the Port Mafia, but the one with the strongest military power is the leader of the Port Mafia.

So when he saw that the organization that he should have destroyed was alive and well again, Fukuzawa took action to clean it up again.

This movement attracted the attention of other forces and made Fukuzawa realize that things were different.

Although he is still unclear about the current situation, Fukuzawa senses Ranpo's presence in this world, so out of trust in him and in order not to cause trouble, he has been hiding.

But now he had to come forward because of Luanbu's plan.

Fukuzawa didn't explain too much. He realized that he had misunderstood Alice, so he bowed his head and said, "Sorry."

Ranpo stood behind Fukuzawa, and Edogawa Ranpo, who was standing opposite him, had already put on his glasses. Fukuzawa Yukichi also subconsciously cast a questioning look at him, as the situation was unclear and someone needed to step forward to explain it.

"It's a test subject," said Ranpo Edogawa. "It's probably from the same laboratory."

Ranbu narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, and he knew that his other self would definitely understand his thoughts.

But after Ranpo Edogawa finished speaking, Fukuzawa's expression became serious. Fukuzawa didn't want anyone to mention this matter, but judging from Ranpo's expression, it seemed that he was the one who caused it.

"So that's how it is." Mori Ouwai's words hinted at something, but it was obvious that he didn't believe it.

It was understandable to believe that the chaos came from the laboratory, but now that two accidents have occurred, even Fukuzawa Yukichi has begun to doubt.

At this time, another voice joined in: "It's really hard for me to find it. You can't even complete such a simple task? I really trusted you wrongly."

Another person in a red military uniform appeared. Tiaoye Caiju closed her eyes and spread her hands with a disappointed expression: "You two are the captain's distinguished guests. Tiechang, you are too rude."

"This is different from what we discussed." Tetsuji Suehiro put away his sword and said expressionlessly.

This is indeed different from what he said. Tiaoye Caiju rubbed his chin with one hand, thinking about countermeasures.

He knew the specialness of Ranbu, but he didn't expect that there would be a second Fukuzawa Yukichi. But as a hunting dog, how could he not have the ability to adapt to circumstances?

So Tiaoye Caiju stretched out his hand and asked politely, "You two, the captain wants to see you."

He doesn't have that much face, but the captain does.

Fukuzawa tilted his head and looked at Ranpo questioningly. After thinking for a while, Ranpo nodded.

The destination was casually decided, and Shikanin breathed a sigh of relief. Edogawa Ranpo did not take off his glasses, but stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder vigorously: "See you at the old place."
