Lost Lord Ranbu

Main World Yokohama.

In the land of an autonomous port, two factions of the three major powers, the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia, battle for the lives of their respective leaders.

The rules of the game were set by the demon Fyodor, and passed to two parties through the mouth of Osamu Dazai—Fukuzawa Yukichi and Mori Ogai, who were poisoned by supernatural powers. For 48 hours, otherwise both of them will die.

The Russian has such magic power. He has made his plan clear, but people have to follow his arrangement.

Even if it is the pillar of the Armed Detective Agency, Ranpo Edogawa said after a round of chasing battle that he had no choice but to disobey the president's order and attack the port mafia with several people from the Armed Detective Agency. Headquarters.

In Edogawa Ranpo's plan, Nakahara Nakahara, a cadre of the port mafia, was the biggest obstacle, so he decided to hold him back in person.

Edogawa Rampo temporarily asked Edgar Allan Poe to use his supernatural powers to write a cumbersome mystery novel, in which more than a thousand people appeared, and half of them were murderers.He used himself as a bait to pull Zhong Yuan Zhong into the novel. They will conduct a reasoning duel without any special abilities in the novel. Only by finding out all the criminals can they escape from the novel.

As for how to deal with the enemy, there is Dazai Osamu, plus the other companions of the detective agency. According to the part predicted by Edogawa Ranpo, there is no problem. His task is to hold Nakahara Chuya.

However, there are always unexpected situations.

On a small high-rise building near the Ganghei Building, a young man with bangs covering his eyes and looking a little dull is looking at the battle downstairs. The props pulled into the novel are from his hand.

Although he wrote that mystery novel to compete with Edogawa Ranpo, he never thought that Edogawa Ranpo would take it and leave.

Edgar Allan Poe noticed that his little raccoon had successfully picked up the fallen books, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It would be bad if the books were snatched by the mafia.

Then, he couldn't help but sighed depressingly: "It's true, Luanbu-jun, because it was Luanbu-jun who said that he wanted to have a showdown, so I happily finished writing it. I thought I would be able to tell the winner this time. Thinking of it being used cleverly..."

He cheered up, "That's fine, in this novel full of killings, let alone the cadres of the port mafia, even Mr. Ranbu will need a few days to get away. Or, if they all die in the book If you win, that is our victory!"

Although I comfort myself so much, if Ranpo-kun is really dead, what should we do in the future...

Thinking of this regretfully, he turned around and planned to go downstairs.

"Yo!"

Someone by the roof gate greeted him loudly.

After Edgar Allan Poe saw the people behind him, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.Even with bangs covering half of his face, one could tell from his body language that he was flustered.

"You, you are—"

"Didn't you still miss me just now?" The young man in a black coat put his two fingers together, squinted his eyes and smiled, and made a greeting gesture to him with a happy face.

When Luanbu set foot on a new land, the first thing in his mind was not to explore the surrounding situation, but "Wow, it's really great, Holmes still has the treasure of disguise, otherwise he would have to be naked In the street."

Even if Luanbu lacks a certain amount of common sense, his parents taught him to dress neatly when he was a child. Except for perverts or performance artists, no one would go out naked on the street.

For this point, Luanbu still has a clear understanding.

Although he has no shame in himself, "whether he has clothes on" and "no clothes to wear" are completely different things.

The Holy Grail did fulfill his wish, but at the same time, the contaminated magic power in the Holy Grail, that is, the black mud substance burned his clothes—the bathrobe brought out from the hot spring hotel.

Fortunately, Sherlock Holmes' spirit foundation still has a connection with him, and the second treasure can achieve the effect of cross-dressing.Otherwise, if you want to find clothes for covering your body in a short time in the new world, you have to dig through the trash can like a homeless man, or rob a set.

The Holy Grail followed his instructions and sent him to the new world, which is the "main world" that Dazai avoided talking about. The place where he landed was naturally near the person who had the closest relationship with Ranpo—of course, this "closely related person" "Of course it's not anyone else, but Edogawa Ranpo from the parallel world.

Luanbu landed in the empty stairwell.

If it was someone else, they might not be able to understand what was going on for a while and why they suddenly switched to this place, but Luanbu was always different from other people.

He glanced around and realized the situation, and quickly grabbed the passing little raccoon and easily intercepted the book it was holding.

Then, carrying the little raccoon and the novel, he went upstairs.

"You still miss me just now, right?" Luanbu greeted the little raccoon's owner with a smile, and said the other's name with certainty, "Edgar Allan Poe...Mr. Poe."

"No, how is it possible?" Poe blurted out.

He was sure that Edogawa Ranpo and Nakahara Chu had entered the novel together, so what happened to the "Edogawa Ranpo" in front of him? !

According to his own reasoning, the Edogawa Ranpo in front of him is indeed the person himself, but it seems to be a little different.This "different" does not refer to differences in clothing, appearance, or habits, but the sense of sight that the same person has different life experiences.

what is the problem?

Could it be some kind of spiritual power?

Edgar Allan Poe couldn't help doubting his eyes.

"What, are you so surprised?" Luanbu scratched his hair, "Although he is not as powerful as Lord Luanpo, but with Mr. Po's reasoning ability, he might not be able to see it."

It is precisely because I can see it that I feel so incredible!

Poe was silent for a while.

He shifted his eyes to the little raccoon in Ranbu's arms, and then looked at the novel that was caught by Ranbu—no, the Ranbu Lord he knew is still in the novel, so he must get it back .

Sensing Edgar Allan Poe's gaze, Ranpo rejected him flatly: "No, Lord Ranpo will take care of this for the time being."

Edgar Allan Poe, who hadn't had time to say a word: "..."

No matter which Ranbu-kun it is, they are always so heartless when rejecting people, even the words they say are similar.

However, the little raccoon's actions were not restrained by Ranbu. The little thing quickly jumped out of Ranbu's arms and easily jumped onto the head of its owner.The familiar weight and temperature on the top of the head gave Poe some comfort.

Ranpo: "Let me tell you, you seem to have a good mind. Of course, you are definitely not as good as Master Ranpo..."

Poe looked at him flattered.

It’s not that Poe has never been praised for being smart. It should be said that his mind is also beyond ordinary people. He is called a “giant” in the American detective circle, otherwise he would not have been hired and appeared as the chief planner of the group.

But just like this, he lost to Edogawa Ranpo in the reasoning game six years ago. This year he ran to Yokohama to challenge with hope, but Edogawa Ranpo had already forgotten him!

Ahh, so sad.

Originally, he thought that he would not be taken seriously by Ranbu-jun after losing two consecutive games against Ranbu-jun, but he did not expect that Ranbu-jun actually praised him!

Although it is not the same person, as long as Poe said this sentence to him with this face, Poe felt inexplicably light-no, he was not happy, Mr. Luanbu was his old enemy, he must Just beat Ranpo-kun!

"Are you going to be Master Ranpo's temporary assistant?" Ranpo finished the second half of the sentence that he had just said, and then found that the other party was not listening at all, with a face full of thoughts, completely immersed in his own world up.

Ranpo felt that he should take back his foreword, this guy didn't seem very smart.But it's not a big problem. Anyway, the life assistant doesn't need to have a brain, as long as it can be a tool to provide information.

"Hey, hello—" Ranbu urged in a drawn-out tone.

"Eh... eh?"

"Hurry up and decide, I'll count to three and I'll take it as your default."

"Eh?" Edgar Allan Poe was taken aback.

"One, two, three!" Without even pausing, Ranpo counted three numbers, and made a decision for others, "Okay! From now on, you will be Lord Ranpo's assistant!"

"My, my..." Poe opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute for a long time.

Until sitting in a secluded cafe with Ranpo, Poe hadn't figured out why things turned out like this, and in the end it could only be attributed to Mr. Ranbu not following the routine.

Logically speaking, no matter which side the Ranbu Lord in front of him belongs to, and no matter whether it is because of his self-esteem as a detective, he should not be his "assistant".

But after experiencing a series of accidents along the way, such as Mr. Luanbu not knowing the way, having no money on him, and being almost hit by a car, etc., Poe felt that he could not just leave like this.

Once you leave the assistant, Ranbu-kun may really die!

Forget it, the assistant is the assistant!

Being an assistant to Mr. Ranbu is not a disadvantage.

Poe hesitated for a while, but still sat in his seat with his little raccoon Carl obediently.The table was covered with soft drinks and snacks he had bought, all for another Ranpo-kun who seemed to come from another world sitting across from him.

Ranbu is used to taking care of others. He flipped through the mystery novel in his hand, which was written by Edgar Allan Poe. It was thanks to the author's signature on the book that he was able to accurately call Edgar Allan Poe in the first place. .

Edgar Allan Poe's special ability "The Black Cat of the Rue Morgue" can drag others into his own novel world. The book he is reading now has absorbed the Edogawa Ranpo and Nakahara Nakaya in this world Go in, and the protagonist detectives displayed on the page are naturally "Edogawa Ranpo" and "Nakahara Chuya". According to the progress of their investigation, the text on the book is changing in real time.

After seeing Zhongyuan Zhongye misidentified the suspect for the eighth time in the book, Luanbu couldn't help expressing emotion: "Can Mr. Hat really come out of the book?"

Mr. Hat is obviously only a force faction. If he is held back in this way, will he be bullied a little too much?

However, as expected of him, this method really worked.
