Chapter 98 Chapter 98 (Inverted V)



Edogawa Ranpo puffed out his cheeks and slowly turned his head.

"Ah...it's Mr. Spider." The black-haired detective greeted calmly.

Yes, standing in front of him was a giant black spider that was two meters tall and one meter eighty wide, with one black leg that was almost as thick as Ranpo Edogawa's thigh.

Mr. Spider paused, and all his densely packed red eyes looked towards Ranpo Edogawa.

The Detective's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little regretful that he had to show off his ability today and face this inexplicable monster alone - it's not that he suddenly discovered the crisis, with Edogawa Ranpo's ability, he could get himself out of it safely, at least in the current situation.

So now the question is.....LOTS OF EYES!!!

"Let me guess, Mr. Ranpo, why did Mr. Spider come here?" Edogawa Ranpo stood up and took two steps, then turned his back to Mr. Spider and touched his chin with his left hand as if he was thinking.

It wasn't that he didn't want to look at those pairs of red eyes.

"Is it the president? No, no, if it were the president, you wouldn't be standing here quietly now." Edogawa Ranpo glanced at Fukuzawa Yoshikichi lying on the bed, shook his head and denied it.

"The target is not the Armed Detective Agency...so...your target is me?" Ranpo Edogawa was a little surprised to come to this conclusion.

The huge spider moved its limbs and changed from a two-meter-tall spider into a 1.65-meter-tall short man.

What does this man look like... I'm not going to describe Edogawa Ranpo, but in short, his appearance will probably be blurred out and put in social news.

"You're really smart." The short man looked at Edogawa Ranpo with his blood-red eyes that reminded people of some reptiles. He spoke fluently and didn't look like an animal spirit.

Of course, it is not ruled out that he has been a spirit for a long time, but Edogawa Ranpo is more inclined to believe that he was originally a human being - and turning into a spider is his special ability.

"Have you ever thought that if you have the ability, you don't have to stay here waiting for others to save him?" The man pointed with his chin at Fukuzawa Noriyoshi lying on the hospital bed.

"What you mean is..." Edogawa Ranpo looked at the man who appeared out of nowhere, frowned and said.

"Jesus was once stabbed in the back by his disciples." The man uttered these words with an ambiguous tone.

The meaning is to tell Edogawa Ranpo that others will eventually betray you.

The implication is that if you rely on others now, how can you guarantee that they will not have other plans? What if their plans threaten you?

"Power is safest when it's in your own hands, isn't it?"

Edogawa Ranpo gradually approached him, "You mean, I can also get supernatural powers?"

The man remained silent. His blood-red eyes looked at Edogawa Ranpo who was gradually approaching him, and he said, "Yes, you will get a unique ability that belongs to you."

"But if I remember correctly, supernatural powers are innate." Edogawa Ranpo stopped three meters away from him, "What qualifications do you have to let me gain supernatural powers?"

"Perhaps you have heard of the name 'Chance'?"

"Oh?" Edogawa Ranpo asked curiously, "Sir Ranpo has never heard of this name. What is it?"

"..." The man looked at him with a little surprise, but still explained, "It's a virus from Leibo Street that can turn 'incapable people' into 'capable people', but there will be some side effects."
