In the Yokohama neighborhood, under a four-story old office building.

The boy in the white shirt opened the car door and led another indifferent person of the same age out of the taxi. He was a strange boy with a puppet-like temperament. His clothes were plain and poor, and he was half a head taller than the previous person.

The boy in the white shirt looked towards the fourth floor of the office building, his iris-colored left eye showed no emotion.

An Edogawa Ranpo is enough to cheer him up.

The driver collected the money and saw that they were going to the office building, so he asked a knowledgeable question: "You two young gentlemen, do you want to go to the Armed Detective Agency?"

The boy in the white shirt turned his head, and instantly had the lively mood of a young man: "Yes, I heard that it accepts all kinds of private requests for help that are not convenient to disclose. Does the driver know any inside information?"

The driver didn't notice his face-changing process, and kindly said: "Their president and members are good people, and they have solved many dangerous troubles. If you have any difficulties that are difficult to solve, there is nothing wrong with looking for them, but there are many powerful people. Too ordinary commissions may not be accepted."

The Armed Detective Agency would not even take a look at a commission like looking for a kitten or a dog. As a taxi driver, a job with a wide range of communication skills, a man is still lucky enough to send members of the agency to work here.

"Is it too common..." The boy in the white shirt raised his mouth and looked up at the fourth floor.

Edogawa was lying on the window in disorder, his detective hat was about to fall off, and squinted at the two of them.He showed an interested smile in the next second, and shouted with a horn gesture.

"Come up!"

"..."

Therefore, Osamu Dazai is not used to meeting simple and enthusiastic people, and I will add one later.

— and amazingly insightful.

Osamu Dazai in a white shirt and black trousers gave up thinking about how much he had been seen through, and Hyakkimaru, who was held by him, looked in the direction of the window on the fourth floor. The wall would block his eyes, and Hyakkimaru could only see Edogawa Luanbu's clear and clean flame of life, that is a person like "Dororo".

[Pure white flame. 】

[Is it someone you met last time?The height and size of the flame of life are a bit like...]

For those who met each other once, it is not convenient to tell the difference between Hyakkimaru.

The mind's eye is not omnipotent.

Fortunately, there are gray and white flames all over the street, and pure white is rare, which naturally attracts Hyakkimaru's attention.White represents that the other party has not done any real evil, or a person whose soul has not fallen.Furthermore, people who met yesterday will not be completely forgotten today.

"Aren't you nervous?" Osamu Dazai asked him in a low voice. He obviously found that in the downtown area, the pedestrians and vehicles passing by on the streets in the early morning made Hyakkimaru panic, and he had to rely on a taxi to drag him here.

This allowed Osamu Dazai to further understand the mental state of Hyakkimaru.

The other party is used to staying away from the crowd.

He has been lonely for too long, and his strong combat power can't make Hyakkimaru feel at ease in the crowd.

Osamu Dazai sees this boring world very clearly. It is precisely because he understands the capriciousness of human beings that he loses trust in other people. It was more than ten years before he met a simple and easy-to-understand Hyakkimaru.

"Let's go up, maybe we can see a few more interesting people."

After making a judgment, Osamu Dazai led Hyakkimaru who was walking alone in the darkness up the stairs.

Hyakkimaru was no longer surprised by the second pure and white flame of life.

He only looked at "Dororo".

If this is the journey...

Then let the journey of the plot be a little longer, and don't end too quickly.The plot is very important, but the will that supports him to live is not only for the task, but to experience the life that will eventually see the light.

On the fourth floor, inside the Armed Detective Agency.

Both formal members and informal interns came to work an hour earlier.

The reason was that President Fukuzawa had informed them yesterday that there would be special clients seeking help from social doctors today, and they were likely to arrive early.Moreover, President Fukuzawa hopes that members who have not traveled on business will come to witness this entrustment, indicating that the entrusting party is someone in the club that even Ranpo, who is a think tank, cannot fully understand.

Mr. Ranpo can't see through?

This has whetted the appetites of the members. Among them, Kunikida Doppo, who was a student of Fukuzawa Yukichi, kept writing the latest itinerary in his handbook in order to be disturbed by today's arrangements.Noticing Mr. Ranpo's actions, Kunikida Doppo said in surprise: "It's rare to see Mr. Ranpo so happy."

"It's two teenagers, they've already gone upstairs!"

Clerk Haruno Kirako glanced out the window, and immediately brought two cups of tea, ready to entertain the client.

On the seat beside them that was empty all the year round, Tian Shanhuadai, wrapped in a quilt, opened his two eyes that stayed up all night, thinking: "Why do I have to be there?"

[President's order. 】

Kunikida Doppo answered from the bottom of his heart, unavoidably surprised, Hanakou is a network intelligence expert who stays at home, and usually stays at home as long as he can, and the number of times he can come to the office building is one of the few.

Putting the receipt book in his pocket, the blond Kunikida Doppo sat upright, waiting for the visitor.

What kind of people will they be...?

"Tuk Tuk."

There were two knocks on the door politely, and a sweet and smiling boy's voice came from outside the door.

"Excuse me, is this an armed detective agency?"

"Open the door."

Edogawa ran back from the window, put on his detective hat, and took out his glasses from his pocket. This attitude undoubtedly proved that he would take this commission seriously.

The intertwined fate of the two worlds has undergone new changes at this moment.

turned in a strange direction.

When Dr. Xie Ye came out of the social doctor's room, leaning on the door frame with one hand on his hip, he was a powerful 17-year-old girl.She yawned with her black-gloved right hand and asked, "Which one needs my treatment? I'm worried that I won't be able to cheer up for work this morning."

When these words came out of her mouth, it was like asking: "Who wants to die here?"

The few members in the office looked at her suddenly, and cold sweat rolled down.

They pointed at the quiet Hyakkimaru with a swish.

"he!"

Unlike the collapsed mental state when he first joined the Armed Detective Agency, Yosano Akiko is out of the control of the military and no longer needs to treat wounded soldiers for the country.She has fully adapted to the new working environment, and her nature is exposed, which is deeply proved by the several machetes placed in the infirmary.

She looked at the treatment target with great interest, and suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"Prosthetics?"

The social doctor discovered the problem with Hyakkimaru!

Back to 10 minutes ago, Dazai Osamu and Hyakkimaru were sitting in the reception room. Dazai Osamu, who was in charge of speaking, faced Edogawa Ranpo's gaze and said nonsense without changing his face: "Hyakukimaru and I are from a poor family, and we don't have the financial resources to go to Big hospital, I heard that there is a social doctor with excellent medical skills in your company, and I have made up my mind to entrust you, please help treat Baiguiwan, the person next to me has serious physical problems."

Clerk Haruno Kirako sat opposite to record, and heard that he went to see Hyakkimaru. Hyakkimaru's appearance looked fine, but there were too many bandages wrapped around his body, which was most likely caused by trauma.

She didn't make wild guesses, and asked in fulfillment of her duty: "What kind of physical problem is it?"

Osamu Dazai's expression faded: "The organs are damaged."

Haruno Kirako nodded and recorded it.

On the seat next to her, Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help but move closer to Hyakkimaru's mask, ignoring Dazai Osamu's intentional or unintentional warning gaze.He blinked his green eyes, and said purely and objectively: "No matter how many times I watch it, I still find it horrifying..." Speaking words that the members couldn't understand, he took out his own snacks and put them in front of Hyakkimaru, "Do you want to eat?"

Hyakkimaru didn't react at all to the outside world, until Edogawa Luanbu tore open the packaging bag, put the biscuit inside into Hyakkimaru's palm, as if sharing it with a friend.

"You didn't eat breakfast, right? These are delicious biscuits, crunchy. The president bought them for me!"

"Master Ranpo will give you half of it out of mercy."

This scene surprised Kunikida Doppo, Mr. Ranpo is quite protective of food.

His common sense allowed him to say the words to stop him: "Wait a minute! Mr. Ranpo, generally, when injured patients seek treatment from Dr. Xie Ye, they need to have a physical examination. It is better to keep an empty stomach in the morning."

Edogawa ranpo turned his head and replied: "No need, this bandage gentleman will tell us the situation."

Osamu Dazai took the time to joke with Edogawa Ranpo: "This detective who met once, why do you call me Mr. Bandages? Obviously he has more bandages."

Edogawa Ranpo was satisfied with his title, and said happily: "Idiot, of course it is because he wears bandages to protect the easily injured muscle layer, and the meaning of your bandages is..."

Osamu Dazai's eyelids twitched when he was called "idiot" for the first time, and he interrupted him in time.

"Mr. Detective, please respect your client's privacy."

"Humph."

Edogawa ranpo made a nasal sound, then ignored him, a suicidal maniac, and concentrated on luring Hyakkimaru.Bewitched by the food, Hyakkimaru picked up the biscuit and put it in front of him in a daze. He squeezed the biscuit with his fingers, and some crumbs fell off. He finally understood the meaning of the food with intuition and experience.

With Edogawa Ranpo's reminder, Fukuzawa Yukichi deliberately did not come out, making Hyakkimaru willing to accept the other party's kindness when surrounded by harmless flames of life.

When Hyakkimaru was about to push away the mask to eat, Osamu Dazai, who was talking to the clerk, turned his head over and ate the bear-shaped coarse grain biscuit with a groan.

Edogawa Ranpo: "!!!"

Dazai Osamu commented while eating: "This kind of biscuit is easy to choke, it is not delicious."

Edogawa slapped the table in disorder, and quarreled with him, "It's not easy to choke at all, you are lying! I have never choked once, and I can swallow it after chewing it!"

Osamu Dazai picked up Hyakkimaru's hand that was touched by the opponent, and blew off the debris on it.

"Hyakkimaru prefers ones that can be swallowed."

"..."

Edogawa stumbled in disorder.

What the other party said is true, which further shows that Hyakkimaru has lost the ability to taste delicious food.

wrong!

Edogawa Ranpo remembered his special ability, and quickly put on the glasses given by the president.

"Let this detective take a look, supernatural power - super reasoning!"

Osamu Dazai was surprised by the sudden report of the name of the power, and the people around him were also stunned, not understanding why Mr. Ranpo was so active today.

"That's it, I understand."

Edogawa Ranpo opened his eyes and said calmly.

Dazai Osamu couldn't laugh, this kind of ability is too cheating, to reason about Hyakkimaru's past in front of his own face?You must know that even you can't get too much information!

The 1.6-meter-high five-headed detective stood up, with the brim of his hat pressing down on his curled hair. His emerald green eyes reflected a young man who was about the same height as him. He couldn't help but bent down to rub Hyakkimaru's hair: "You did a good job, better than anyone else. Everyone is good, Lord Ranbu can see clearly."

"—your will to live."

Inside the fragile human body is a tenacious soul that does not admit defeat.

to this end.

Even though this body is in hell, I still have to climb back to the world and take a look at the heaven above the sky.

Afterwards, Edogawa Ranpo said to Haruno Haruko, who is also the president's secretary, "Don't ask any more questions, just go and inform Dr. Yosano."

"Mr. Ranpo, his eyes?"

Kunikida Doppo suddenly discovered a problem, Hyakkimaru has not blinked his eyes!

"Idiot! Idiot!" Edogawa Ranpo was very dissatisfied with the reaction of him and the clerk, "Didn't you find out that he is wearing a human face mask?"

"Behind his mask, there are no facial features! All hands and feet are prosthetics!"

"..."

"..."

What kind of shocking thing is this? !

"And it was caused by the day after tomorrow, not congenital loss of these organs." Edogawa ranpo faced Dazai Osamu, and said the answer that overturned the previous diagnosis and treatment, "He was deprived of many organs after birth, the skin, ears, etc. , eyes, nose, tongue, sense of touch, limbs...very purposeful organs, full of malice, the end result is to split his body and kill him."

Osamu Dazai was thoughtful, and there was only one thing he wanted to ask: "Can it be treated?"

Edogawa Ranpo hesitated, reasoning is to draw conclusions based on reality, not imagination that appears out of thin air.Under the "sight" of Hyakkimaru who seemed to have a premonition of something, he looked back, without pity or fear, just like looking at a tragic text through a glass window, and the text constituted the person in front of him, empty All that remains is a consciousness that tightly grasps the edge of the world.

He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, closed his green eyes, and turned back to simple squinting eyes: "If he was born in this world with a healthy body, and lacks organs the day after tomorrow, he can be cured."

Even he, who is a self-proclaimed genius, felt a little guilty after he confidently asked the president to invite people over.

No, Master Luanbu is not guilty!

There must be a chance!

The premise is that the reason for the physical disability of Hyakkimaru is within the scope of "common sense".

When the president is away, Tianshan Hanadai is just lazily and deserting.He fell asleep after waiting, and was suddenly startled by the opened door of the reception room, and sat up in a dream: "Is there an enemy?!"

Kunikida Doppo said helplessly, "No."

His complexion was not very good, so he went to inform Dr. Xie Ye, but Haruno Kiroko covered her mouth, lost her mind, and left the office in a hurry, "I'll report to the president."

What the Armed Detective Agency is about to face is treating a...terrible severely disabled patient.
