Supernatural Reasoning
The harsh sound of glass colliding with each other was very obvious in the quiet room.
The sudden sound woke the sleeping person.
The person leaning against the back of the chair suddenly straightened his upper body, and with a sudden pull, the chair legs slid across the smooth porcelain plate, making a more obvious sound.
After sitting up, the chair was pushed back, and the legs that were originally curled up lost their support point, so the whole person lost balance and fell down. After realizing that his face was getting closer and closer to the ground, Lu Ninja quickly reached out to support himself.
But the left arm in plaster was very stiff. If he hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed the table with his other hand, it would have come into direct contact with the ground.
"Did I scare you?" another person in the room said, "If you are tired, go back to your room and stop walking around."
Shika Ninja stood up while holding onto the table. He lifted up his left hand which was tightly bound with plaster. From the elbow to the back of his hand, it was fixed with plaster, and only a few fingers could move.
The wet towel slid down the side of his face. His right hand, which was still able to move, took the still warm wet towel and placed it on the table.
This is a room full of things. It is large but full of clutter. On one side of the room are several beds and many medical instruments placed in a mess.
This looks like a hospital ward, but there are no waist-high saws or sharp machetes in a ward.
With the help of the reflection from the electric saw, Lu Ninja could see his face clearly.
Her cheeks were slightly round, her eyes were half-closed in a comfortable manner, her short black hair was very fluffy, and all the loose hair on her forehead was combed back, revealing a large purple mark on her forehead.
That wet towel must be used on the forehead.
The arms are thin and have no obvious muscles, which shows that they don't exercise often. But there are thin threads on the base of the thumb and fingertips, which seems to indicate that they are familiar with guns and cold weapons.
This body is not capable of high-intensity combat, but it has no problem using common weapons.
Judging from the thickness of the wrist skeleton, although he is not tall, he is already an adult.
A lot of information entered his mind in detail at a glance. Lu Shinobi rubbed his forehead with one hand, looked at the scenery outside the window, and shouted in his heart: "005."
No one answered him. The room was located on a higher floor of a tall building, so the clouds could be seen clearly.
The half-closed green eyes slowly opened, looking at the clutter on the table, Luanbu quickly understood the current situation.
This world is not the imagined Warring States world. The technology in this world is more advanced and similar to the previous world.
There were a lot of miscellaneous items on the table, including unfinished snacks, messy documents that looked like draft papers, and a familiar black-covered book.
Ranbu did not open the script, but spread out the things on the table with one hand. Through those words, he understood his identity and this world.
In this world, there are people with special abilities, and they are called psychics.
The abilities of psychics are not the same, and the reason why he can see those details and discover the truth of things at a glance is because of his psychic ability - "Super Reasoning".
In Yokohama, where many people with special abilities gather, apart from the apparent national ruling power, they are mainly divided into three factions.
These three forces are the Special Forces Department under the country, the Mori Office which has a special power license, and the organization he is in, the Port Mafia.
The Port Mafia is a well-known large company in Yokohama on the surface, but it is actually a mafia operating in the "dark zone".
This organization is a local tyrant in Yokohama, and other organizations, big and small, have almost no capital to compete.
Because in Yokohama, where espers are highly valued, not only the leader of the Port Mafia is a powerful esper, but also several major cadres and main personnel are espers who cannot be underestimated.
The most important thing is that the leader of the port mafia has a strong background and seems to have the support of some big shot, so no matter how you find fault with him, it will be like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.
The bits and pieces of the story "settings" were connected together, and Lu Ninja stared at one place distractedly, but soon he sorted out the general main line.
But because I was distracted for too long, another person in the room came over after finishing his work.
"Are you still angry and wandering?"
"No." Luanbu sat down, shaking his hand in a plaster cast hanging around his neck, "It's so troublesome, Jingzi——"
The woman in front of me, wearing a white shirt and a black skirt, is one of the leaders of the Port Mafia, along with Akiko Yono. Her special ability is [Don't Die for Me], which can heal wounds.
With just one glance, Ranpo got all the information he wanted to know. Even though he had no memories of Akiko, he still felt very familiar with her.
The pair of green eyes opened, as if silently asking her for help. As Yosano Akiko shook her head helplessly, she took a half-dry hot towel and put it on the head of the person in front of her.
"No." Yoseno Akiko said seriously, "This is the leader's order. He said you should learn a lesson. Such risky behavior is too dangerous."
"Dun has already been punished for his mistake. The leader was worried about you and said a few words to you in a hurry, so don't be angry."
Ranbu closed his eyes and raised his head, reiterating: "I'm not angry! I'm not angry at Mr. Fukuzawa. It was clearly the most appropriate choice at the time. I don't think we did anything wrong."
Although he said that he was not angry, looking at the things piled on the table, Yosano Akiko knew that Ranpo probably had not reflected on his thoughts yet.
"I know that Ranbu's choice is the best solution." After softening his tone, he and Yosano Akiko showed a helpless smile, "But if you will get hurt, the leader and I also hope that you will choose to give up this mission."
Luanbu raised his plastered hand and said, "It's a good deal to complete the mission with only one arm."
"Yes... it is true, but you should save your explanations for those of the leader himself."
"I don't want to."
In order to teach Luanbu a lesson, the leader canceled his mission. After being tied with a plaster cast, Luanbu did behave himself.
After applying the hot towel, the bruise on the forehead faded a little. Yosano Akiko put down the things in her hands, looked at Ranpo who was still sulking, and suggested: "I'm going to the leader's office. Ranpo, do you want to come with me?"
In the chief's office, nearly half of the room belongs to the person in front of him.
One of the five major officers, Edogawa Ranpo, is the one with the lowest military power among the officers, but he is the one with the most say. Even the leader's thoughts will change because of his words.
The things piled on the table were all moved out from the chief's office. After replying to the chief's message with Akiko Yono, they started to prepare to move the things back.
With wet hair sticking to her forehead, she walked at the front in a hurry, occasionally turning back to say, "I won't take the initiative to explain. I should be the one to be praised for the success of this mission."
"Yes, yes." Yosano Akiko said, "The leader needs Ranbu very much. Please go back quickly, Lord Ranbu."
Otherwise, if she stayed in her office, her work would be delayed.
"Lord Ranpo and Lord Xie Ye." The guard at the door bowed his head respectfully.
The tightly closed door was pushed open and Luanbu walked in first.
The spacious office is located on the top floor of this tall building. The large floor-to-ceiling windows allow for a clear view of the entire Yokohama area. The floor is covered with a carpet with exquisite patterns, and the overall decoration is dark in color, which is a bit depressing.
But this is just the first impression. If you look closely, you can see a beautifully packaged snack box on the table on the right. On the solid wooden desk are not any confidential documents, but some slightly childish doodles.
But at this moment, Ranbu did not see the packaged snack as an apology at first sight. His originally squinted eyes gradually widened after he saw the cat stretching its waist in the middle of the room and looking cute.
"Meow."
The silver-haired man in a grey suit was half-crouching, pinching a small dried fish between two fingers of his gloved hand. He approached cautiously, and when he found that the black and white cow cat was not repulsed by him, there was a hint of surprise on his serious face.
The black and white cow cat has yellow eyes, clean fur, and is very well-behaved. It does not look like a stray cat.
However, stray cats will not appear in the leader's office.
"Ahem." Yosano Akiko coughed, "Mr. Fukuzawa."
The silver-haired man carefully rubbed the cat's back, and the little guy purred obediently. Fukuzawa Yukichi came back to his senses when he heard the repeated coughing.
He turned his head and saw another furious "cat".
"Wandering around? The snacks I brought you are on the table." Fukuzawa Yukichi stood up, and the cat stayed obediently in his arms.
Fukuzawa Yukichi was very surprised, because he had been involved in the battlefield in his early years, and the bloody smell on his body made animals afraid to approach him. This cat that came from nowhere was not afraid of him.
[Meow...?] 005 felt a little guilty. He shook his ears and tried to be as cute as possible. [Hello again, host.]
"Liar!" Luanbu said with his head down, then he pursed his lips and looked up, "You'd better have an explanation."
For some reason, Fukuzawa Yukichi suddenly felt guilty. But before he could explain, the cat in his arms became anxious, jumped down, and grabbed Ranbu's calf in a flattering manner.
"Meow~"
"Ahem." Fukuzawa Yuji tugged at his sleeves and regained his serious expression. "Did you bring this cat back? Is it a stray cat?"
"This is the cat I raised." Luanbu raised his head and said, "Don't even think about trying to please him. Just follow me obediently."
It is obvious that Fukuzawa Yukichi likes cats. I don't know if 005 did it on purpose or intentionally, but he wanted to get close to him.
Now that his thoughts were seen through, 005 naturally felt guilty: "How could that be? Of course I am your cat."
"You got into the role pretty quickly." Lu Ren replied coldly.
After knowing that his ability can see through everything, Lu Shinobu tried to see through the hidden things of 005. But the more he tried to see clearly, the more blurry everything became, like a fog.
"It's okay to keep a cat, but do I need to buy something?" Fukuzawa Yuji began to think, and then thought of another question, "Have you given it a name? If you are planning to keep a cat, a name is probably necessary."
As Yosano Akiko sighed and shook her head, anyone with eyes could see that she wanted to keep this cat more than Ranpo and Fukuzawa. But it was strange that there was such a friendly cat.
Ranbu lowered his head and used his free hand to squeeze 005's paw hard: "Let's call him 005."
After that, the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence. The smile on Yosano Akiko's face disappeared, and she said in a serious expression: "Ranbu..."
Lian Fuze Yuji's expression also became serious. He frowned and asked with a little worry: "Did those guys show up again?"
He looked at the two people's strange expressions and moved his hand bound in plaster. He squinted his eyes and understood why the two people had such expressions.
His name is Ranbu, and his surname is not important except for his first name. He has never seen his parents because he grew up in a laboratory.
In the laboratory, the protected but widely studied experimental subject has no name. People only record his number - "005".
It was a disaster that killed tens of thousands of people. In just one night, people in the area died one after another. After investigation, a special research team found the source of the powerful energy.
It was a child wrapped in a blanket, only a few months old, but this child was the only survivor among tens of thousands of people.
In order to study the real cause of the accident and to master this unknown energy, the child has met various researchers since he can remember.
Those people discovered the difference of this child, that is, his brain is enough to be described as genius. Not only does he have a photographic memory, but his powerful brain even gives him the ability to see through the truth at a glance.
But this secret laboratory disappeared quietly 15 years later. After an explosion, all the data was lost in the fire.
After figuring this out, Ranpo also knew about his relationship with Fukuzawa Yukichi. He muttered something in a low voice, and then began to question: "That disaster was also because of you."
The culprit 005 pretended to be dumb: "Meow."
"Let's call it 005." Ranpo said again, "It's just a name, Mr. Fukuzawa doesn't like it."
Fukuzawa Yukichi was silent for a moment, then sighed. He stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Ranbu's shoulder: "Since it is your choice, then let's call it 005. Ranbu, I was wrong to kill you yesterday."
"What? It's obviously Mr. Fukuzawa's fault!" The childish black-haired young man complained angrily, "This was the best choice at the time. I certainly wouldn't make a mistake."
She stepped forward at the right time with Yosano Akiko: "Okay, okay, this mission really can't be done without Ranpo, so would Ranpo-sama want a piece of cake?"
"Of course, these are all mine, right?"
"Yes." Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded and gave a helpless smile, "But you have to save one piece for after dinner."
"Well, then Ranpo-sama will reluctantly agree to this."
After sitting down at the dedicated seat, Luanbu started planning the cake with great interest. 005 watched eagerly, but in the end he could only watch.
The cake was very sweet, and the cream melted in my mouth. The sweetness provided energy to my brain, which was working at high speed, and the headache symptoms were alleviated.
It seems that because of the experimental research in those years, although this ability is very convenient, the side effect is that it will put a burden on the brain. Long-term and high-intensity thinking will cause headaches.
But for Ranbu, all it takes is one glance to see the truth.
