John jumped from the clock tower just as the hour struck.

The crisp sound of "Dang-dang-dang-" reverberated in the night sky of Tokyo like a death knell being rung.

Edogawa Ranpo seemed to be frozen in time, his body froze on the edge of the bell tower terrace, because he kept one movement for a long time, which made his brain congested and dizzy.

Now he wants to climb back to the inside of the bell tower, but he has lost all his strength because of everything just now, so he can only maintain this position temporarily until his physical strength recovers.

With the fall of John, the live broadcast to the whole world was completely blacked out, and the invisible barrier that blocked the military police, the supernatural secret service department, and the members of the armed detective agency also disappeared.

Without needing more words, the members of the Armed Detective Agency immediately climbed to the top of the clock tower. Kunikida Doppo, who was the fastest runner, saw Ranpo Edogawa quickly stepped forward and gave him back from the edge of danger. dragged back.

Yosano Akiko checked for Edogawa Ranpo, he was only temporarily out of strength, and he would recover after a short rest.

Neither the Metropolitan Police Department nor the Supernatural Secret Service Division ever found John's body under the clock tower, probably taken away by his followers or companions. The twenty-faced weirdo has completely become a legend.

The mess left by John was bigger than everyone imagined. The twenty-faced monster did not disappear with John's death, or the forces who followed him found a way to solve it.

The eccentric with twenty faces completely hides his source code in the electronic network ocean of 1 and 0, only incidents that happen from time to time prove that he still exists.

The twenty-faced eccentric has completely become the sword of Damocles to deter the wicked, and the crime rate has dropped by 60% at one point, which is simply a miracle.

However, the creator of this miracle is not only dead, but even the miracle itself has disappeared in the ocean of the Internet, which itself is not allowed.

The task of finding out the source code of the twenty-faced face of the weirdo, and either using it for oneself or destroying it completely fell on the hands of the Supernatural Secret Service Division.

There are supernatural beings who are good at invading the network in the Supernatural Secret Service Section. However, they found that the twenty-faced monster has the ability to upgrade itself, which is completely different from the code that needs to be maintained by programmers. The intelligence of human beings is even more superior because of the particularity of its own existence.

It was impossible to destroy him, let alone take over the strange man with twenty faces for his own use, which put the Supernatural Secret Service Division into a dilemma of not knowing what to do.

The twenty-faced monster is not only in Japan, but also in North America, Europe, Central Asia and other regions. He is a program and can work day and night, but humans are not so efficient.

Now all countries have issued condemnation, and the pressure from the international community has made the Supernatural Secret Service Division even more anxious.

Under such circumstances, Fukuzawa Yukichi was able to keep Edogawa Ranpo out of contact with this case for the time being, which is enough to prove his concern and protection for the members.

However, Fukuzawa Yukichi also knows that it is the limit to be able to delay until now. Only Edogawa Ranpo can find out what password John finally set for the weird man with twenty faces.

The pillars of the detective agency seem to have grown up a lot overnight. Not only did they not eat much of their favorite snacks, they even took the initiative to ask if there were any cases, but this mature appearance made the detective agency Members are worried.

When Edogawa Ranpo proposed to buy snacks today, even Doppo Kunikida, who was the most serious in his work, was obviously relieved, and even happily watched Edogawa Ranpo go out to fish for snacks during working hours.

Sitting in the park, Edogawa Ranpo, looking at the picture book "The God of Peace" in his hand, and looking at the question on the last page, gritted his teeth, trying to prevent his weak voice from leaking out.

Even so, he still couldn't stop the choked sound from overflowing from his throat.

Moist water vapor leaked from his wide green eyes: "Woo..."

The crying that had been endured for a long time from the top of the bell tower that night finally vented at this moment.

After a long time, the crying of John's death stopped slowly.

"It's time to go back." Edogawa Ranpo muttered to himself.

Of course, he knew that the members of the detective agency were worried about him, and the depression should stop here, and he couldn't...let John affect his daily life anymore.

The door of the Armed Detective Agency was pushed open by Ranpo Edogawa, and he returned to the trustworthy mascot of the Detective Agency in the past, and sat in his seat and began to eat snacks again.

"Random steps." Fukuzawa Yukichi came in front of him and called him.

"Ah, I know, it's about twenty faces of weirdos, right?"

Edogawa Ranpo chuckled, and as usual, the reasoning was completed in an instant.

"You don't need to look it up, the password to stop the twenty-faced man and continue to run is only four words."

Edogawa Ranpo put the salt-and-vinegar-flavored potato chips into his mouth, feeling the pungent taste spreading on his tongue.

"Let the Ability Secret Service Section enter the four words 'God of Peace' in the background, and you can stop the weirdo with twenty faces."

There was no need for Edogawa Ranpo to use his reasoning ability at all, the answer was so directly in front of his eyes.

He didn't want to think about what kind of mood John was in to leave this mystery for himself. The detective leaned his body on the chair and sat upright: "Ah, by the way, let them stop holding unnecessary delusions, Once the password is entered, the Twenty Faces of the Freak will self-destruct, which is impossible for them to use."

Edogawa Ranpo was struggling with the glass marble on the wave soda, trying to remove the blue marble intact.

Seeing the marble fall into his hand, Edogawa Ranpo showed a smile, then lifted it up, looking at the sun through the blue marble.

The color of this marble is the same as the color of John's eyes.

Edogawa Ranpo, who was thinking so, continued: "Either let the weirdo with twenty faces disappear completely from now on, or let him continue to replace the current law and enforce sanctions. They can only choose these two paths."

Fukuzawa Yukichi and Yosano Akiko, who knew Edogawa Ranpo the most, were slightly taken aback, and they could hear the faint anger and coldness from his words.

"..." Fukuzawa Yukichi was silent for a while, then nodded and said lightly: "I will convey these words to the Supernatural Secret Service Division."

"Also, Luanbu, I'll give you a vacation during this time."

Edogawa Ranpo himself did not realize that he was too deeply influenced by John Libet, even though he thought he had calmed down, he would still look at the sky in a trance from time to time.

As protectors, Fukuzawa Yukichi and Yosano Akiko didn't like John who pulled Edogawa Ranpo into his plan, and even let Ranpo watch him die.

There is an inexplicable sense of anger that my child was hurt by strange people outside. If John appeared in front of them at this moment, he would probably be beaten up by Fukuzawa Yukichi, Yosano Akiko and others .

"I do not need--"

Before Edogawa Ranpo could finish his refusal, Fukuzawa Yukichi unquestionably interrupted him.

"Be obedient, go and have a good rest."

"……I see."

Edogawa pursed his lips in disorder, knowing that Fukuzawa Yukichi would not back down on this matter.

Edogawa Ranpo, who was almost kicked out for vacation, stared at the bustling street for a while, and decided to just take a walk around.

On the way, he ran into a red-haired man with a hasty expression and an exquisite picture book in his hand, but because he was absent-minded, the other party probably didn't look at the road, the two collided, and the things in the other party's hand fell on the ground. On the ground, Edogawa Ranpo himself also staggered a few steps backwards, only feeling some pain where he was hit.

"Ah, I'm sorry, are you okay?" The red-haired man apologized as if he had just recovered.

Probably because John's picture book story had too much impact on Edogawa Ranpo, he subconsciously glanced at the picture book that fell on the ground, but he frowned, and opened his mouth and said: "I'm fine, but If you hold that picture book again, you will be the one who has something to do—I suggest you, get rid of that picture book as soon as possible."

The other party was stunned for a moment, but did not reply. He just thanked him hastily, picked up the things he had left behind, took his leave and left.

This person is naturally Oda Sakunosuke, it's not like he hasn't thought about the suggestion of that kind person just now.

Oda Sakunosuke smiled wryly. If the hot potato he was holding in his arms could be solved so easily, he wouldn't be bothered until now.

He had just reached the point where no one was around, when a small figure appeared in the pocket of Oda Sakunosuke's shirt.

That villain is like the thumb princess or elf in a fairy tale book, with a sparkling appearance and an expression so delicate and cute enough to make women "kya" in a low voice.

"Are you going to drop me?"

The elf tilted his head, a pair of beautiful golden eyes were crying.

"No, of course I won't throw you away, Story." Oda Sakunosuke sighed, looking at the villain who laughed through his tears when he said he would not throw him away, he felt a headache.

This elf named Story appeared in a picture book of nursery rhymes that he bought as a birthday present for his adopted daughter Saku Le.

At that time, Sakura was asking Sakunosuke Oda to read the story in this picture book to himself. When Oda Sakunosuke opened the book, what he saw was actually a blank space, and in this blank space, he seemed to have just woken up. Here it is, the lady in the light blue robe.

"Hello, are you my new author?"

The handsome elf blinked those beautiful jewel-like eyes, and then showed a joyful and pure smile.

"Then let's get started!"

The elf snapped his fingers, and then a huge hole suddenly appeared under the chair where Oda Sakunosuke was sitting, just like the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland, and he was constantly falling down with the chair.

Oda Sakunosuke's expression was not good, because his ability was not activated to allow him to see the future five seconds later, which meant that the other party might not be a person with supernatural powers, nor did he have any malicious intentions towards him.

But this situation is indeed full of worrying unknowns. The only luck is probably that Saku Le did not fall into this rabbit hole with him.

The author has something to say: Oda Sakunosuke is going to be a writer!

Since you like raising children so much, you definitely don't mind having one more, right? 【laugh

The following is a clip written by the little angel cielo in the group, because it feels so good, I put it up for everyone to enjoy together!

"Eh? Is that true? Mr. Ranpo has been depressed for a long time? He can't even cheer up when facing snacks?" That was Atsushi's exclamation when he first learned about Mr. Ranpo from Ms. Haruno.

Atsushi who came to the detective agency to work part-time during the summer vacation was asked by Osamu Dazai to take Mr. Ranpo to eat desserts, but for the first time in the detective agency, he could not find Ranpo at all. After asking Mr. Dazai, he just got a mysterious For a secret answer, Atsushi could only go to Mr. Kunikida, but he didn't expect that Kunikida didn't know, so he had no choice but to ask Ms. Haruno.

Ms. Haruno recalled a little bit, probably because she is a delicate woman, Ms. Haruno knows a little more than Mr. Kunikida.

"Mr. Ranpo has been depressed for a long time." Miss Haruno sighed helplessly looking at Ranpo lying listlessly on the table, and once again tried to put various snacks in front of Ranpo to cheer him up , but the answer is still useless.

"At that time, everyone in the detective agency was really terrified. They never expected that Mr. Ranpo would be so listless." Miss Chunye slowly said what she had seen before, "But after that, Mr. Ranpo was reliable. Many, like a teenager who suddenly grows up overnight. Although everyone in the detective agency agrees that this kind of growth may not be good for Mr. Ranpo."
