Canary of the gods

"Since the person who made the wish is the one who pointed at you and said the wish..."

"Then the second question, if I write down my wish on paper and let Tanizaki read it unconsciously, or in other words, I exchange a certain condition and let Tanizaki sincerely make a wish to you for me, but the beneficiary of the wish It's still me, so in this case, will the backlash of the supernatural ability act on the wisher or the beneficiary?"

This question is also easy to answer for a monk, because no one has done it before. "Usually in such cases, after the wish-maker has had some bad luck, it's the beneficiary's turn."

Kunikida Doppo: "Wait a minute, does this mean that the side effects of supernatural abilities actually have an effective order?"

A temple repair nodded.

Edogawa Ranpo let out a "hiss", and asked a very frightening question: "Then if Dazai dies due to other accidents, will the beneficiary be backlashed by the wish he once made to you?" ?”

A temple thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know."

It was the first time he met someone who was completely immune to his supernatural ability, so naturally there was no reference for him to figure it out.

"I don't know" is a tricky answer.

If not then that's fine, and if so...

Everyone in the detective agency suddenly looked at Osamu Dazai in unison.

"Uh-huh?!"

Osamu Dazai, who just raised his head while covering his face, shrank back abruptly, covering his chest with an exaggerated expression, "What are you looking at me for?"

Everyone looked at the miserable look on his face, and silently looked away.

"So the key is to rely on the supernatural power of the president."

"That's right, maybe Mr. Dazai will die at some point?"

"Yes."

Everyone in the detective agency discussed this issue as if Osamu Dazai did not exist.

It seems that this guy's unreliability has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Ji Yiji silently glanced at Osamu Dazai, who was grinning in pain.

After Edogawa Ranpo's questions were over, they began the formal test.

The tester was Doppo Kunikida who volunteered.

The level of wishing is of course starting from the minimum level.

"Xiu, pass me the pen."

A temple repair to do so.

Everyone stared nervously at Kunikida Doppo and the pen in his hand.

After a while, a priest said, "Huh? Didn't you get sprayed all over your face? Yes, it worked."

"..." It seems that this is not the first time you have done this thing of handing someone a pen?

The test continues.

"Xiu, sort the garbage and throw it into the trash can below."

The garbage in their office began to be sorted automatically. In less than ten seconds, the two garbage bags had been packed, and then disappeared with a whoosh.

Kenji Miyazawa leaned over the window and took a look, "Ah, it's in the trash can, I saw it!"

The wish came true, and everyone waited for 2 minutes, but there was still no problem.

At this time, Tanizaki Junichiro couldn't help asking: "So is it true that making a wish has no side effects, or does it take time for the supernatural ability to backfire?"

Kenji Miyazawa speculated: "It may also be because Mr. Kunikida has been standing here and there is no opportunity for accidents to happen."

Akiko Yosano held a different opinion on this, "You have never seen a scene where a light bulb suddenly exploded."

Wasn't that the case with Mr. Fujikawa who bought a painting by Terasho back then?Even if he is lying on the hospital bed and can't move at all, the light tube above his head will suddenly explode, the bed will collapse inexplicably, and even the equipment connected to him will short-circuit and leak electricity... All kinds of weird things can happen. Happened, does not mean that the parties can escape without doing anything.

After listening to Yosano Akiko's description, Tanizaki Junichiro and others subconsciously glanced at the light bulb in the office.

Hmm... everything is fine for now.

Kunikida Doppo pushed his glasses and said to Shuichi Ichijo, "Then let's continue."

A temple repair nodded.

Then Kunikida Doppo made several more wishes, and each request was more difficult than the previous one.

However, after making wishes nine times in a row, nothing unexpected happened.

Just as Kunikida Doppo was about to make his tenth wish, Osamu Dazai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stopped.

"Wait a minute, Kunikida-kun."

Everyone's attention was diverted.

Osamu Dazai held his chin with one hand in a thoughtful pose, against that bruised and swollen face, he looked a little funny.

"What's wrong?" Kunikida looked at him with folded arms, almost writing "What kind of monster are you going to be again" on his face.

"This time you try to make a wish of the lowest level."

"what?"

Kunikida Doppo frowned, looking puzzled.

After hearing this, Edogawa Doppo let out a "huh", and then, as if thinking of something, he said to Kunikida Doppo, "Kunikida, do it."

Other than Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo, the others were confused, but they didn't intend to explain for the time being, "Let's talk about this after the results come out."

"...Since Mr. Ranpo has said so, then fine."

Kunikida Doppo turned his head and said to Shuichi Yiichi, "Xiu, pass me a glass of water."

One temple repair handed over the water, just like the previous nine times, fulfilling Kunikida Doppo's "wish".

But unlike before, this time, the accident happened unexpectedly.

Kunikida Doppo had just received the water glass, and without using much force, he heard a "click", and a good glass was instantly shattered, and the sharp fragments scratched his hand, leaving bloodstains on the inside of the palm.

Everyone's heart trembled.

This is... a side effect of a temple cultivator's ability has taken effect?

They couldn't help thinking, if Kunikida Doppo's wish just now hadn't lowered the difficulty level, then at this moment...

Everyone in the detective agency couldn't continue to make up their minds.

Kunikida Doppo treated the wound briefly, and, like everyone else, looked at Dazai Osamu suspiciously: "How do you know that there will be an accident the tenth time?"

Even Sixiu Yiyi himself didn't understand this question.

Osamu Dazai put his hands in his pockets, "Actually, I'm not too sure, it's just a guess."

In fact, Osamu Dazai would feel that "the tenth time may have some different results", and there is not much basis. If he really said the reason, it might make people feel a little nonsensical.

One temple priest once told him that Kusuo went back in time ten times in order to save their kindergarten teacher.In the first nine times, everything was as usual, but when it came to the tenth time, the attitude of Yiyi Temple changed, so this time the kindergarten teacher survived successfully.

At that time, Osamu Dazai didn't think anything was wrong. Until this experiment, he suddenly thought that the number of times that a temple repaired the self-igniting bus back in time was exactly ten times.After ten times, there is still no turning point, and one temple repair will kill the thoughts of redemption.

These two incidents are actually unrelated, but for some reason, Osamu Dazai suddenly remembered and connected them together.

He vaguely felt that the number "ten" was an extremely special existence for a temple that he was not aware of.

So when Kunikida was conducting the tenth experiment alone, Osamu Dazai had a whim and directly proposed it.

If his hunch is right, an accident is avoided; if his hunch is wrong, nothing is lost, just keep testing.

"So, in fact, you have no specific reason, just a flash of inspiration, or pure intuition?"

Kunikida Doppo is obviously not satisfied with this reason.

Osamu Dazai shrugged, "It won't hurt if you try it, and...the result is obvious."

"...

Kunikida Doppo fell silent.

He glanced at his hands.Although he was scratched, it was just the price he paid for handing over the water cup. If it was based on the standard he had prepared, the tenth wish... I guess it would be half-disabled if he didn't die now, right?

The ten wishes have been completed. Based on the information collected so far, Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo started a discussion.

Dazai Osamu: "Then we now know that before the tenth time, Kunikida-kun's wish did not cause any accidents, and just at the tenth time, the backlash of the wish appeared."

Edogawa Ranpo: "In addition, the tenth counterattack effect of the supernatural ability is only related to the tenth wish, not the superposition of the ten wishes."

Osamu Dazai: "Then the next step is to watch..."

Edogawa Ranpo: "Is 'ten' a limit, or a reincarnation."

Osamu Dazai: "The wisher..."

Edogawa Ranpo: "Change."

Osamu Dazai: "In order..."

Edogawa Ranpo: "It doesn't matter, right? Just play big."

Osamu Dazai: "Well... I think the same as Ranpo-san. So let's do it!"

Everyone in the detective agency, including Jiyi Jixiu: "..." How is this?

This time, Dazai Osamu directly said to Kunikida Doppo: "No. 11 wishes, just to be on the safe side, first grant the one with the smallest degree."

Kunikida Doppo nodded, and asked Jiichiji to pass him a glass of water.

This time the water glass was received steadily, without any accidents, and everyone who was nervous was relieved in unison.

Next, Osamu Dazai asked Kunikida Doppo to make the wish in reverse order, changing the difficulty level from high to low.

Until the end of the No.19 wish, there was still no accident.

At this time, everyone more or less understood what Edogawa Ranpo said just now, "Is ten a limit, or a cycle of reincarnation"?

Without Osamu Dazai saying it, Doppo Kunikida understood what the No. 20 wish should be.

"Xiu, pass me a pen."

A priest handed over the pen.

"呲"

Kunikida Doppo's face was sprayed with black ink.

"..."

Why were they not surprised?Is it because of the consequences that a monk said before?

"From this point of view, making a wish is indeed a cycle of ten times."

Dazai came to a conclusion.

"Then the next step is the substitution test..."

This time, Osamu Dazai called out the names of two people, "Tanizaki, Kenji, try to make a wish alternately."

The two whose names were called nodded and started the test.

Through the tests of the two of them, everyone in the detective agency has grasped another important piece of information.That is, the ten wishes in "Ten wishes are one reincarnation" are based on the calculation of the person who made the wish, not one temple practice.

For example, Tanizaki Junichiro and Miyazawa Kenji make wishes alternately, Tanizaki Junichiro makes the first wish, Miyazaki Kenji makes the second wish...and so on.

When Kenji Miyazawa made his tenth wish, both he and Junichiro Tanizaki made five wishes respectively.

And at this time, when the fifth wish he made was also their tenth wish fulfilled by a temple cultivator, nothing unexpected happened.It wasn't until the two of them made their tenth wish that an accident happened.

The test is over.

Dazai Osamu handed Yosano Akiko the note he had prepared long ago, and asked her to make a wish according to the above content.

"what?"

Yosano Akiko took the note and looked at it, her eyes widened in surprise, then she frowned and looked at Osamu Dazai, "Are you sure?"

Dazai nodded.

"What's the matter?" Kunikida Doppo, who had just washed his face, walked over while wearing glasses.

Yosano Akiko shook her head, pulled the note into her hand, and turned to look at a temple.

At this time, Dazai Osamu also walked behind Yijiu Xiu, stretched out his hand, ready to trigger Disqualification in the World at any time.

On the other hand, Edogawa Ranpo directly hugged his thick snacks and got under the table, and even blocked the gap in front of him with an office chair.

"???"

Everyone noticed something was wrong.

After all, Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo had never been so prepared before when they were conducting the wishing test.

So they became even more curious, what kind of wish did Osamu Dazai plan to make with Akiko Yosano?

"build."

Yosano Akiko spoke.

She first glanced at the bright and bright sun outside the window, then retracted her gaze, and made a wish.

"Turn day and night upside down."

Everyone: "?!!"

A priest blinked, and instead of silently cooperating with them in the test as before, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure?"

From his attitude alone, they could also sense that making a wish this time must not be that simple.

If those things before were still humanly possible, then the desire to turn day and night upside down this time is not humanly capable or common sense at all.

Yosano Akiko: "I'm sure, can it be done? The scope is the whole world."

A temple cultivator twitched the corner of his mouth indifferently, as if to say "what nonsense are you talking about".

He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers with a "snap".

This sound was like a switch, switching from the scorching day to the dark night in an instant!

Outside the window, the sound of vehicles crashing and pedestrians screaming one after another, fear and panic spread rapidly in the sudden darkness.

Except for Dazai Osamu, this is the first time that everyone in the Armed Detective Agency has truly felt how domineering, powerful, and unreasonable the supernatural power of Yi Yijiu is.Even the few people whose memories he had tampered with before were no exception.

Before he had time to think about it, he heard a "boom", and all the glass in the detective agency's office exploded.Countless fragments rushed towards Yosano Akiko like metal attracted by a magnet!

"With Dr. Yosano!"

"Danger!"

"Quickly open!"

At the critical moment, Osamu Dazai stretched out his hand and touched a priest, and the human disqualification was launched.

The fragments in mid-air suddenly stagnated and fell to the ground with a splash, and the night outside the window returned to day, as if everything before was their illusion.

But the broken windows, light bulbs, and glassware in the office, as well as the noisy crowds and vehicles outside the windows, are telling them that that is what really happened.

A temple cultivator rested his chin, looked over very calmly, and said lightly: "It seems that this level of wishing is not allowed."

"..."

Everyone was speechless.

Rao, they have experienced strong winds and waves, after they can turn black and white day and night with a snap of their fingers, now when they are swept by those pale golden eyes without any emotion, they can't help tensing up their nerves and bodies.

That feeling is like standing on a cliff and suddenly seeing a huge and terrifying beast under the abyss. I am afraid that if he sneezes, he will be blown off the edge of the cliff and fall into the endless abyss from then on, beyond redemption.

Even though the other party just fell asleep and turned over, raised his eyelids, and showed no signs of waking up, it still made them tremble with fear and send chills down their spines.

When everyone was in a trance, "Abyss Behemoth" suddenly said: "The test is over, can I continue to play with my phone? I seem to have seen that the second part of "Wind Chime House" has found a new sponsor and is about to start filming again." ..."

Everyone who was pulled back to the world in an instant: "..."

A "behemoth" who likes to surf the Internet and watch TV dramas... is it cute?
