I'm on the scramble

There is no doubt that the people in the group are launching an operation against the organization in Yokohama.

If they want to take down the entire city, they must plan a rigorous plan and use wisdom and force to do so.I heard that in just a few days, several sites under the name of the port mafia were picked up, and the enemy's step-by-step capture was like meteorites that fell from the sky, trying to stir up the anger that enveloped the night sky in Yokohama.

As for their armed detective agency, they are always blocked by soldiers.

The injured Dun was quickly healed by Xie Ye. As for the retrieved Hong Kong black cadre, he was healed, but he received the same treatment as Lemon, and was tied to the operating bed with a restraint belt and could not move.The task of interrogating the hostages was handed over to Dazai. Atsushi blamed himself for losing Kyoka, and wanted to run out to find her as soon as he woke up.

Ah Li understood his mood very well, after thinking about it, he let him do what he wanted to do, only let Tanizaki act with him, and told them to pay attention to safety.But she knew that things were not that simple behind the scenes, and she needed to explain some things to Dazai.

"I'll leave it to you to negotiate with the government's agent, Dazai, I don't get along well with the people from the Supernatural Secret Service Division." After Ah Li caught Dazai, he said something like this.

In this "invasion of alien species" situation, the best way is to drag down the Supernatural Secret Service Division, which is also a "Three-Quarter Concept", if there is a "Supernatural Secret Service Division" as the government's highest independent control supernatural department Among them, dealing with it can be expected to have a great impact on the situation.

Regardless of whether it works or not, you should try it.

Now that the whole of Yokohama is in dire straits and is in a critical situation, Dazai naturally can't slack off as before, and has to do some practical things.

Dazai did not refuse, otherwise he would be sanctioned by Iron Fist.But he is more curious about one thing.

"It's not easy to deal with... Is it the reason why you were forcibly taken into custody by people from the Supernatural Secret Service many years ago?"

Being spied on, Ali raised his eyelids and glanced at Dazai, then raised his fist and threatened, "Don't ask me anything, believe it or not, I will stuff all the bandages in your mouth, and let you taste what 'choking to death' is." taste?"

Unexpectedly, Dazai's eyes glowed, and he was interested in this novel way of death: "Is there such a way of death? I want to try!"

Ah Li narrowed his eyes dangerously: "I changed my mind, it's better to use your 'favorite' dirty fat stuffing."

Dazai: "...No, I don't like it at all."

The suicide lover who changed his mood in seconds raised his hands in surrender, and automatically changed the topic to avoid such a miserable death: "I will do the negotiation. But what do you want to do next, Miss Li?"

"It's an invitation to participate in a 'game' with Ranbu." A Li waved his hand and smiled mysteriously, "It's from the group."

Although it can't be seen, Poe is actually the 'chief planning officer' of the group, which shows that his mind is beyond doubt.Inviting them to participate in the so-called reasoning game was the purpose of his trip, and for this reason he even threw out a bait that the status quo was very useful to them.

That is, as long as they can win this reasoning game, they will be able to obtain information about the stronghold of the 'combination' - the blind spot of the huge sky fortress "White Dick" and how to capture it.

On the contrary, this game is also a game.If he can't win the reasoning game, then he will take away the most important lady beside Ranpo.

And this is the manifesto he sketched in ink at the end of his letterhead.

Whether it is the bait of victory or the provocation of failure, Yu Ranbu is an excellent strategy that hits his point.

It was a psychological offensive aimed at him personally and could not be ignored.

No wonder Ranpo was so angry at that time, Ah Li, who had read the contents of the letter, couldn't help but think so.

After a little preparation, she and Ranpo followed the address provided in the letter, and they came to a retro apartment.The vines climbing up the outer wall of the building draw a wonderful pattern for the whole apartment, and the old and lonely scene is rendered with a sense of history.

It seems that Poe has spent a lot of thought in arranging the venue.

"Hey, there is actually an entrance test."

Upstairs, the two came to one of the doors, and Ah Li found a piece of crossword puzzle paper pasted on the door.You need to fill in the answers above to enter the room.

"Hmph, let me see what kind of fun you have found for me~"

Ranbu was not at all frightened by the test in front of him, he happily took out the black-rimmed glasses from his pocket and put them on.

The cheap and somewhat dull glasses, which were obviously a product of many years ago, but when they hung on the bridge of his nose, they lit up the detective's entire face and raised a vigorous smile.

"What, a question at the elementary school level."

The famous detective spread his hand outwards, and Ah Li tacitly handed him the pen he was carrying with him, stared at him and wrote without hesitation, and finished filling it out.

The crossword cards were pasted a little high, and Ah Li leaned over and took a look on tiptoe while grabbing Ranbu's sleeves. The handwriting written by Ranbu was crooked and full of childishness.

Ah Li immediately complained without losing face: "Your handwriting is also at the level of elementary school students."

The detective who tore off the answer sheet puffed up his mouth in dissatisfaction, thinking that she was turning her elbows outward: "How dare you despise Mr. Ranbu's words! You asked me to do your homework for you before, why didn't you do it back then?" Dislike my words!"

Ah Li: "State the facts, my handwriting is prettier than yours!"

"Then I will also state the facts, I will always be taller than you, Ali!"

"I am more diligent than you, the lazy Luanbu!"

No one knew why the two elementary school students at the door started to compare inexplicably on the spot.

After arguing for a long time, the topic terminator Ranpo finally gave a critical attack unconvinced: "I'm smarter than you!"

Ah Li was almost suffocated by these words, and decided to break off friendship with him for one minute.

Pushing open the door angrily, there is a slightly empty room inside, the ceiling is high and empty from the ground, and the walls are collaged with pieces of iron sheet dyed lead color, bringing a gray and gloomy feeling to the whole room. color.

The decoration and furniture displayed in the interior are pitiful, it can be said that there is almost no.Only a row of round stools, a gold-tufted carpet, and a carved desk with books are located in the center.

The black-haired young man who had been waiting for them for a long time sat on the seat, holding a quill and writing elegant handwriting on the open pages of the book. The naive little raccoon was wrapped around his shoulders like a scarf.

Ranbu went straight to Poe, and asked bluntly, "Are you that formidable guy who has the guts to challenge Mr. Ranbu?"

"You're here, Mr. Ranpo." The young man on the seat raised his head, a smile appeared on his pale face, "Long time no see, it must have been 6 years..."

Meeting old friends again and meeting his old enemy in his mind, Poe's heart is not without excitement.

But in order to hold back the airs of the inviter, he tried his best to maintain the appearance of dignity, and raised his hand forward, wanting to introduce himself first.

"I am the Chief Planning Officer of the group who invited you here, Ellen..."

Before he could speak, he suddenly heard a sweet voice calling out in surprise: "Carl—"

As soon as his shoulders were lightened, Poe felt that the little raccoon who was with him abandoned him in a serious manner and threw himself towards the girl, who bent down and took him into her arms.

"Wait, Karl..." Poe, who lost his friend's company, panicked a little.

At this moment, Luanbu went to his desk with fuel added to the fire, flipping through the neatly stacked books on his desk and throwing them away one by one, as if trying to find out what he called 'reasoning games' in it.

"Carl, where is your deduction game? Where is it?"

"No, I'm not Carl, Carl is my friend over there, and my name is Poe!" Poe explained in a panic, all plans were disrupted, "I invited you here to avenge my shame Yes, Mr. Ranpo, you beat us in the reasoning competition six years ago..."

"Ah, let's not talk about such drowsy things, so let's talk about reasoning games, reasoning games!" Ranpo interrupted him mercilessly.

Poe couldn't help feeling sad from it: "Why, why is this... This matter has maintained the important karma between us and you!"

Luanbu opened his mouth and directly pierced his heart: "I'm not interested!"

Poe's heart was tied into pieces by the invited fateful opponent, and he couldn't help squatting down and hugging himself aggrieved.

He should have known earlier that the character that Ranbu showed was as bizarre as his own IQ. It was a kind of childlike eccentricity that could be seen at a glance, and he only acted for his own happiness, leaving everything else aside.

He falls into that 'stand aside' category.

At this time, not only was there no one to comfort his grief, Ali even looked around curiously: "Poe, didn't you say you want to play a reasoning game? Don't you have snacks and afternoon tea here? How can you play like this—"

"This, this, this, I didn't prepare for this..." Poe was caught off guard by her words, and whispered in a super soft voice: "I didn't intend to play games peacefully..."

Ah Li's face immediately collapsed when he heard the words: "Hey, isn't that super boring..."

Died before leaving the school, Poe suddenly fell to his knees because of the repeated blows, unable to bear it anymore: "...no, boring, even said that the preparation I worked so hard to arrange is boring..."

But Luanbu had already lost all his books, and found that he hadn't found anything he was interested in, so he urged him arrogantly: "Hey, where is the reasoning game, hand it over quickly."

Ah Li: "You have to reflect on yourself, you can't invite guests without preparing refreshments."

Ranpo: "Deduction game!"

Poe, who was dominated by the pair of childhood sweethearts, finally broke out in silence: "Why can you treat this place as your own home like no one else!!"

Poe was about to be cried out by the two, so he didn't say anything, and just smashed out the mystery novel he had written all night.

"This is the reasoning novel that we have spent six years tailor-made for you! The content of the reasoning game is - after reading this novel, finding out the truth of the serial murders in it is considered a victory."

Hearing that the content of the game turned out to be reading mystery novels, Ranpo's interest level plummeted, and he exaggeratedly sighed: "Boring, detectives are applied in practice, if you can solve a case just by reading mystery novels, then what kind of detective is—— "

"My generation knew you would say such a thing, but unfortunately this is the rule of the game. Unlike the group of people who are used to solving things with money and violence, my generation only cares about the outcome of you and me, regardless of the situation in the world. The most important thing based on this is the [Super Reasoning] you showed, Mr. Ranpo, isn’t it?”

With the thought of going all out, Poe regained his composure, and began to provoke calmly: "Or, Mr. Ranpo, are you afraid?"

Luanbu stared at Po for a long time, then raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Barely counting as three points for you. Low-level provocations are harmless to the world's No.1 detective."

"But I can't pretend that I didn't hear anything when I said such things to me in front of my important people."

He said so, and immediately snatched the novel from Poe's hand, showing a confident and dazzling smile at this moment.

"Master Ranpo will let you see the gap between you and me, and want to take away my Ali? You are still far away."

Hearing what the bamboo horse said, Ah Li couldn't help being startled, and followed the figure of the young man wrapped in a small cloak who moved to one side, watching him sit down on the stool with the novel and open it.

(What, to say such a thing in person... No, I can't panic at this step.)

Ah Li couldn't help but bowed his head and twisted the hair around his ears. After a while, I also have the right to compete? "

When Poe faced her, he no longer seemed to be eloquent, shrugged his shoulders inexplicably, and replied: "Of course, I wish you a happy game."

His eyes hidden behind his hair dodged for some unknown reason.

After all, it was a wonderful story specially prepared for the two of them.

"Ranbo, bring the book over here..."

"Just post it here."

So Ah Li suppressed the restless girlish heart, moved her small steps and sat down next to Ranbu, with her head next to him, as if sharing the same picture book when she was a child, and read the novel together.The beginning of the story is a young master of a rich family, at a party held in a mansion at home, he came to the hall with everyone according to the appointed time...

As I was reading, I didn't expect that the words in the book suddenly overflowed the real space in an instant. In the gap of the white light, I could only hear the laughter of Poe from the outside world spreading uncontrollably.

"Hahahaha, this is exactly my ability - "the ability to lead readers into novel situations". "

The price of failure is the loss of the most precious and loved ones.If you can't get rid of the novel, it undoubtedly corresponds to this ending.

"I've been tricked—" Ah Li reacted, and immediately grasped Luanbu's hand in the torrent of words.

"A Li!" Luan Bu turned back and shouted at her, and opened his eyes in an instant.

The girl's callused fingertips and the young man's thinner fingers intertwined at this moment, and then they interlocked tightly and forcefully.

But in just one breath, she found that the two of them were separated by an irresistible force, followed by a darkness that was deeper than darkness, and all the senses including the body fell rapidly as if falling into hell .Eyes closed and opened again, Ah Li found himself in a brand new scene.

It is a magnificent bedroom.

She turned into a woman in a luxurious dress.

Ah Li didn't even want to push the door open, wanting to find the location of Luanbu.

This is like a large-scale script killing game. Since entering the world of this book, the identity, personality and habits of the character she replaced will be actively instilled into her mind.

In the process of anxiously looking for Chaos, Ah Li finally bypassed the repeated corridors and pushed open the heavy French door of the ballroom.

"Random!"

But when his eyes touched the unharmed black-haired young man in kimono standing in the middle of the noisy crowd, Ah Li, who understood who he was, froze for a moment.

"Ali, I found something very important." Realizing that it was her, he walked over with a gloomy expression and grabbed her sleeve, in order to gain the much-needed sense of security.

But Ah Li didn't reply for a while, because she was about to explode with anger at this moment.

Ah Li, who finally got the relationship between herself and Ranpo in the novel, finally understood why Poe's eyes were evasive when he looked at her.

Feeling as if the water bottle had been kicked over, Ah Li was furious immediately, and wanted to say something to the people outside.

"I beat Edgar Allan Poe!!"
