I'm surviving in a love game

Chapter 32 32 Mouths of Black Mud

Hoshimiya Shiori's breathing stagnates.

The moment those eyes looked at her through the cat's eyes, she quickly turned her body to one side, her back pressed against the door, and the cold touch penetrated into her skin through the clothes.

Mistake, the character icon was not called up just now.

The character icon set by the system needs to be actively called up to know the identity of the other party. In the short few seconds just now, Shiori Hoshimiya who mistook the outsider for an ordinary deliveryman did not think of such a level.

She didn't know what Osamu Dazai said to Fushimi Saruhiko during that meeting, but according to her intuition, it was probably related to memory recovery.

So, can the way of spreading the virus be assumed to be the awakening of the self-awareness of the attacked characters through words?

The truth hidden under layers of phantoms seems to reveal a hazy light, and the light leads Xinggong Shiori step by step towards the truth, and a thin silk thread that breaks at the touch of a touch connects one end with the other.

No matter how much he pretends that no one is at home, Fushimi may still stand at the door. He never does anything unplanned. Since he was able to come to her door at this time, it means that he is sure of Shiori Hoshimiya. Already at home.

"jingle--"

The doorbell rang again, like a reminder.

Hoshimiya Shiori scanned everything in the house at an extremely fast speed. In a certain branch line, she had lit up the anti-reconnaissance skills before, and she was a little dabbled in eliminating traces.

Huh, there should be nothing wrong.

Before the next doorbell rang, she opened the door one step at a time, smiling a little, "What's the matter?"

The staff dormitory where Xinggong Shiori lives has been built for some years, and all aspects of the building are inevitably aging. For example, the electric lights in the corridor have long been unable to reach their standard power. At this time, they are only half-dead. There was a faint light, and darkness occupied most of the narrow corridor.

His dark blue eyes became deeper and deeper under the erosion of darkness, and the scepter4 uniform on his body notified his position, and at the same time allowed Shiori Hoshimiya to faintly read his purpose.

but……

The momentum that should be there should still be there.

"As far as I know, Yokohama should not be under the jurisdiction of scepter4."

The door was opened a crack by Xinggong Shiori, and the warm light flowed out through the gap, casting a slender light on his side.

The man named Fushimi Saru Hiko, no, it should be a boy.

The last time Hoshimiya Shiori saw Fushimi was in the dream constructed by supernatural powers, but at that time he was almost as tall as himself.

But now, it was already a head higher.

The height difference brought a little sense of oppression. Fushimi didn't make a sound, but just raised a hand and presented a document with the government seal directly in front of Shiori Hoshimiya. Her gaze moved upwards and saw Those big characters.

——"Hunt Order"

Good guy, even the documents have been approved.

The fingertips pinching the edge of the paper were coated with a layer of warm luster by the warm light, but the cheeks hidden in the darkness still had a bit of sharp paleness, "From now on."

"Even so, I have the right to ask you to search my residence."

"Tsk," he rubbed his neck habitually, "I have an unknown supernatural power, and the last two large-scale supernatural powers were related to you. This evidence should be enough, right?"

In this regard, Xinggong Shiori really had no reason to refuse, so she had no choice but to open the door wide and let the other party in.

"Please put on disposable slippers."

She bent down and took out a pair of light gray disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet at the entrance. There was also a pair of light pink slippers piled inside. This was accidentally discovered by Shiori Hoshigong, and it should have been left by the previous owner of the dormitory. down.

Put the slippers at his feet, and she will slide from the back of the shoulders to the chest.The hair in front was brushed behind the ear, and the waist was straightened again.

"This will be our home from now on!" The girl smoothed her broken hair behind her ears, looked sideways at the boy standing at the door, and chuckled because of the bewildered look on his face, "What are you still doing in a daze? Slippers I have already placed it at the door, come in and have a look, you should like the decoration style."

In the distance from the entrance to the living room, the lights in the entrance and the living room are lit one after another, the darkness is driven out, and the light is combined to form a sea of ​​light.

Before the boy could react, the girl stepped into the ocean, her slender figure was swallowed up.

and many more--!

and many more--! !

"Are you all right?"

Different from the voice in the memory, perhaps because of the growth of age, the voice of Hoshimiya Shiori is a bit more mature.

When his thoughts came back, Fushimi realized that he had been maintaining a standing posture for some time. The few seconds just now seemed to be unconsciously distracted, but only he knew that his hands were trembling slightly, and every cell in his body was trembling. What are you clamoring for.

Strange and familiar emotions enter in waves through this memory fragment.Invade his brain.

"The memory that suddenly appeared may feel strange, but I have to admit that everything happened before."

Osamu Dazai's words mixed with the dense rain echoed again.

He forcibly restrained the trembling of his hands.

Hoshimiya Shiori was worrying about whether the cat would be found, and seemed to hear Fushimi's low chuckle in the dimness.

"Please start searching quickly, my time is also precious."

Fushimi changed into his slippers in silence, and wandered around the somewhat crowded dormitory with his slippers on.

But looking at this posture, it seems that they are not searching, but looking around as if they are in their own home.

The rustling footsteps finally stopped on the pot of newly planted ginger by the window. It was the old ginger that Shiori Xinggong had transplanted into the pot when she was buying ingredients.

His body covered a large area of ​​light, and cast a shadow on the small potted plant, even though it was covered by the shadow, the tender green already exuded the unique vitality of life.

"Fushimi, Fushimi, don't sleep! Get up and drink some ginger soup, I added a lot of sugar, the taste of ginger should be covered." The girl tugged at the corner of the quilt, and the boy in the quilt curled up into a huddle because of a bad cold. In a group, even his head was buried in the quilt, leaving only a strand or two of hair.

"Did you hear me, get up quickly."

The girl put the porcelain bowl aside, pulled away the corner of the quilt on one side with both hands, and felt that a corner of her quilt was lifted, and the boy whom the girl called Fushimi turned over in the opposite direction.

The quilt was pulled to the opposite direction, she lost her balance and fell on the outer edge of the bed.

"V-see-"

Realizing the urgency of his gaffe, the boy got out of bed, his hair messed up, and rubbed his glasses by the pillow.After searching for a while but not finding it, she simply took her ginger soup with eyes drooping.

Halfway through the drink, I couldn't help but say, "Ah... I really want to drink a juice drink with 0% fruit juice content."

"Go drink it when you have a cold."

Ginger soup, which combines sweetness and ginger's unique spicy taste, lingers on the tip of the nose through the incomplete memory fragments.

Because Fushimi's performance is really suspicious, and he cares too much about potted plants, Hoshimiya Shiori, who has a fairly good memory, recalls his memories from his memory palace.

Ah... I made ginger soup for him when he was sick.

right?

Fushimi Saru Hiko, you remember this, right?

He broke away from the memory again, and returned to the state at the beginning, the corners of his eyes were still drooping, just like when he had a cold.

After a week of inspection, perhaps the recovery of some memories made him not so aggressive, and even the search became perfunctory, and he glanced in a certain direction of the room when he finally left.

"So I should be cleared of suspicion after the search?" While talking, Xinggong Shiori was about to lock the door.

"maybe."

Fushimi dropped a sentence of unknown meaning and left.

She breathed a sigh of relief after closing the door.

She said to the system: "The transmission route of the virus has a general direction."

【"Then the meeting between Dazai Osamu and Fushimi Saru Hiko last time was a virus. A spread of the virus?"】The system asked.

"No... It should be said that all the captured characters have been infected. The transmission means that through some means, the game characters can restore more memories."

The cat who was hiding in the room and heard Fushimi's footsteps gradually receding away carefully opened the door of the room a little, revealing a pair of shiny different pupils, eyes gurgling around, and once the danger was resolved, he moved his hands together. Pull, bouncing and running to Shiori Hoshimiya's side.

"I'm scared to death! I didn't expect the people in green clothes to come after me so quickly, obviously I'm disguised very well!" The cat hugged Shiori Xinggong's arm and shook it from side to side, "Shiori, let's continue to look at the map just now. It’s the map with Xiao Hei.”

She caught another layer of meaning in the cat's words, put her hand on the back of the cat's hand, and looked directly at her translucent eyes, "Cat, tell me, did you just escape from the prison of the Blue King?"

"Ah, my generation... my generation..."

At the mention of prison, the cat lowered its head and its voice faded.

"I hope you can tell me the truth. This is related to whether you can find Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai."

"Xiaoheixiaobai... We also ran out when we were in disorder. It was still night, and suddenly the prison was destroyed with a bang."

"Is there anything else specific? Did you see who destroyed the prison at that time?" Although she had received information from Ranpo before, and knew that it was Atsushi Nakajima who destroyed the prison of the Blue King, it was just a superficial appearance , the more important thing is to see the essence through the appearance, which is the source of this attack.

The 14-year-old Atsushi Nakajima suddenly turned into a tiger and went to Tokyo to attack the prison. This is definitely not explained by a loss of control of supernatural powers.

It is very possible that who induced Atsushi Nakajima and manipulated him to destroy the prison and drive him out of the orphanage.

"I remembered! That man still had a collar around his neck."

"Black collar...? What about the others, did you see anything else?"

The cat frowned and shook its head, "I didn't see anything else. At that time, many people were running away. It was a mess."

The clues that popped up suddenly were cut off here again.

Hoshimiya Shiori asked about the details of the collar several times later, but after going back and forth, she was only sure that it was black, the collar.

This is simply looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if the scope is narrowed down to the existing character icons, only——

In the Central Plains.

Facing this result, both the system and Shiori Xinggong were stunned.

Chuya Nakahara, who can be called the bottom line of morality in any aspect, would really do such a thing as attacking a prison?

【"I think there may be something hidden in this."】

Hoshimiya Shiori touched her chin, "I think so too."

The cat pulled Xinggong Shiori and began to look at the map, pointing to the marked red dots, which were all places where Xiao Hei had been recorded through monitoring data. As for Xiao Bai...he is still on the airship, and has not yet Included in the scope of monitoring, but the flight route of the Silver King airship is fixed, she can find a chance to intercept that airship one day.

It's just that it is likely to be caught by scepter4.

"Here, here, and here are all places where Xiao Hei appeared?" The cat sat at the table, its legs dangling back and forth in the air, and its hands were pointing back and forth on the computer screen.Xiao Hei's activity location basically coincides with the current Colorless King, who usually lives in seclusion in the countryside.

Suddenly, Hoshimiya Shiori heard the cat "Hey", "Shiori, look, this is... Yokohama?"

After hearing her words, Hoshimiya Shiori leaned over and saw the red dot pointed by the cat's finger, with the word "Yokohama" marked beside it.

Because she made this map in a hurry, she just glanced at it hastily, and didn't look at the specific information.

"Maybe I made a mistake...?" Shiori Xinggong clicked on the corresponding surveillance video. The video was very short, about ten seconds long, and the time displayed in the lower right corner was two o'clock in the morning. In the darkness, Suddenly there was a burst of flames, followed by rumbling explosions from far away. At the end of the video, the monitor was also scrapped due to the explosion, and after a burst of noise, it was covered with black and white snowflakes.

After watching the video, Shiori Hoshimiya didn't know whether she should be thankful that Xiao Hei had never been to Yokohama, or whether she should be thankful that she hadn't missed this important video.

Because, as far as she knew, not far from the monitor was the area of ​​Port Mafia, and the explosion sound was likely to be that some warehouse in Port Mafia was attacked.

"What's wrong with Shiori?" Seeing Xinggong Shiori frowned slightly, and the cat poked her arm, the latter sighed, "I always feel like I've opened Pandora's box."

"Huh?" The cat tilted its head.

"It's just...the port Mafia may have been attacked by the enemy."

A group of men in black suits armed with guns.Armed men surrounded the scene after the explosion. In the distance, a thin figure approached from far to near. Even the dark night could not hide the luster of the ocher hair. The boy asked: "About the warehouse?" Has the news of the enemy attack been reported to the leader?"

"It has been reported, and there should be a response soon." One of the men in a black suit replied.

"Mr. Zhongyuan, this should be something left by the enemy."

A certain subordinate said, using a hand wearing a special white glove to lift a gun that had obviously failed.

The young man honored as Mr. Zhongyuan, that is, Zhongya Zhongyuan, glanced at □□, "Put it away first, and take it back to the laboratory for testing."

The black leather shoes stepped on the ruins, and the edge of the black windbreaker swayed as he moved forward, and then the incoming call notification from the mobile phone stopped his footsteps, and he connected the phone.

"leader."

"Presumably Mr. Chuya already has an idea. This attack was carried out by an organization called 'Claw'."

Is it "claw"?

Even though the port mafia stationed in Yokohama has already occupied a very high position in the dark world, it is inevitable that other organizations will want to subvert this situation, and "Claw" is one of them.

Port Mafia didn't take it seriously at first, but with the rapid growth of the opponent's strength, it has reached the point where even Port Mafia has to take measures to deal with it.

So, has the power of "claw" extended here?

It can kill all Mafia personnel stationed in the port in a short time.Death, this is no longer what thermal weapons can do. Indeed, this is very consistent with the "claw" with superpowers as the main body.

"Then please, Mr. Chuya, to investigate clearly."

Mori Ogai's voice came from the other end of the phone. Accompanied by the sound of electric current, it felt a little more unreal. After the call was over, a detailed map was sent to Nakahara Chuya.

Sure enough, the troublesome things are always one after another. Before there was the defection of his partner Dazai Osamu, and then there was an enemy attack.

What made him most angry was that Osamu Dazai didn't forget to squat his car before defecting!The anger came as a matter of course.

So, the other subordinates present looked at the red-haired boy clutching the phone tightly, and shouted angrily: "Tai-zai-!! I will definitely kill you when I see you!!"

The boy's roar pierced the silent night sky.

Hearing the noise from outside, the upset Hoshimiya Shiori raised her hand and closed the window.

Just now she watched all the videos again, and basically confirmed the place where Xiao Hei appeared.

"The next step is to go to the spot, but Xiao Hei may not know you by then."

Looking at the cat holding the computer and happily spinning around, Shiori Hoshimiya decided to give her a vaccination after hesitation, because the existence of the cat is too special. Although the timeline has been magical to a certain extent, every timeline The memory of people on the timeline is still normal, simply speaking, there will be no phenomenon of predicting the future.

But the cat is different. In the previous conversation, Shiori Hoshimiya can basically confirm that she has almost retained all the relevant memories.

"Why?" The cat's smile collapsed.

"Because he doesn't have the memory of getting along with you yet, it should be said...it's not time to get along with you yet."

"What time is it, but Xiaohei is Xiaohei, Xiaobai has always been Xiaobai, and Shiori has always been Shiori!" Mao put the computer on the table and held Xinggong Shiori's hand, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember the cat, as long as the cat remembers Xiaoheixiaobai and Shiori."

"Because one day, they will definitely think of the cat!" After finishing speaking, the cat felt that what he said just now was full of truth, and nodded in agreement.

——"I will always remember Shiori, even if everyone forgets you."

Eh?

Who's... the voice?

"Right, right, what I said is right!" The cat shook Hoshimiya Shiori's hands from side to side.

Xinggong Shizhi absent-mindedly replied, "Well, maybe."

There is no wind in Yokohama tonight, and it is so quiet that it seems that the time of the whole city has been frozen. At this time, only by looking at the clock can you confirm that the time is still passing.

"Tick-tick--"

It was the sound of the second hand of the clock hanging on the wall moving, full of regularity and rhythm, but at the same time it was boring and single.

"So the last mind control event was not caused by the 'well'?"

The speaker was Ranpo Edogawa who disappeared this afternoon. He was sitting in a corner of the coffee shop, which happened to be the quietest corner. Both sides were tightly sealed by off-white walls. In this environment , it is even easier to superimpose a sense of oppression.

However, this sense of oppression may be insignificant to the person in front of Ranbu. The blond man with black gloves is holding a light golden cigarette pipe, "Yes, it should be said that from the first carjacking case, we I fell into a strange circle, the more I care about the 'well', the more I tend to put everything I see on the 'well'. This is the autonomous choice of consciousness."

Ayatsuji pedestrian nodded his temples, "The human brain will choose what it wants to see."

"But this kind of thing is empty talk in front of the supernatural ability 'super reasoning'. You can get the truth of the matter just by seeing it." It is obvious that Ranpo does not agree with Ayatsuji pedestrian's theory, and quite refutes it mean.

"Your 'ultra-reasoning' only draws the truth mechanically, but it cannot be judged. The person who set up this truth deliberately let you see it, in order to lead you to the conclusion drawn by an ordinary reasoning. The wrong direction." Ayatsuji pedestrians continued, "It's like a math problem, the conclusion drawn from the first problem cannot be perfectly applied to the second problem."

Ranpo was so refuted that he was speechless, "Then you mean there are other people? It's not Kyogoku Natsuhiko, right?"

"Kyogoku Natsuhiko died long ago."

The clock on the wall was still ticking, and seeing that Ranbu's face was not looking any better, Ayatsuji pedestrian sneered and said, "You should have thought about what happened last time. "

Ben was still somewhat depressed, and suddenly the aura around him became completely different. He raised his eyes, and his green pupils exuded a sense of awe, "I can consider the matter of cooperation, but how much do you know now?" ?”

"No, what is your purpose?" Ranbu changed his words.

"My purpose is the same as yours. If you want information, you need an equivalent exchange."

Ayatsuji pedestrian placed the pipe on the table, and the metal outer layer made a dull sound when it touched the table.

"The seemingly false memories actually happened. But this is not the most important thing. The most fundamental thing is to find out who deliberately erased the past memories." Luanbu said.

A change in a person's temperament does not require a facelift, sometimes just a change in the eyes is enough to achieve an earth-shaking change, and Edogawa Ranpo is such an existence, he just sits there, stripping everything with calmness Only a rational voice was left to express his views slowly.

"And all the memories are related to the same person." Ayatsuji pedestrian added the second half of the sentence that Ranpo was about to say, "So it is very likely that she erased the memories of the past."

Luanbu blurted out: "No, it's impossible."

"This is just one of many hypotheses, assuming that she erased all our memories about her..." Ayatsuji pedestrian's voice gradually weakened, until it was so weak that the sound of the clock overshadowed his voice.

The two detectives kept silent at the same time, and spoke at the same moment——

"That pretty much erased her existence."

The hour hand points to "2", and the night in Yokohama is so quiet that all the darkness in people's hearts will be squeezed out, turning into bitter ink and covering the night with a layer of lingering gloom.

The moment the words fell, the two detectives realized the fact that, no matter what, they could not suspect her.

That trust and emotion have long been deeply engraved in the soul, even the absolute rationality has to surrender.

An undeniable fact was placed in front of the two of them.

They will never doubt Xinggong Shiori.

The night passed, and Shiori Xinggong, who didn't sleep well last night, got up early because of the biological clock, opened the door after washing, picked up the garbage that was sorted yesterday, and was about to lock the door with her head down and her ears in one hand. Atsushi Nakajima's voice came from the side.

"Miss Xinggong, good morning."

Xinggong Shizhi, who was still asleep, looked up at her house number, and then turned around to look around.

Ok……

This should still be the staff dormitory where she lived, and finally cast her eyes on Atsushi Nakajima who was smiling brightly, "Mr. Nakajima? When did you move in?"

Speaking of this, Atsushi Nakajima was a little embarrassed, and scratched his cheek, "I moved in this morning. I may have disturbed you when I was packing up. I'm sorry!" Atsushi Nakajima was about to bow to express Apologizing, seeing Xinggong Shiori hastily stretched out her hand to stop it.

"You don't need to apologize, you didn't bother me." I just stretched out my hand and found that I was holding a garbage bag, then put it back and smiled, "I didn't hear anything when I was sleeping."

Her insomnia is purely worrying, whether it is the port Mafia, the detective agency, the investigation of the Blue King, or the claws that have appeared recently to act as a demon, different forces are intertwined, making people feel headaches at a glance .Not to mention that she promised the cat to find Xiao Hei for her before, even if she found it, with San Luan's word, can Xiao Hei go with them?

Miscellaneous questions piled up and weighed heavily on Shiori Xinggong, and she complained more than once that she was definitely at a loss this time.

"Then let me throw out the trash for you." Atsushi Nakajima ordered a few other bags of trash lying at Shiori Hoshimiya's feet, "If Miss Hoshimiya Shiori throws it alone, it should be very troublesome. "

In this regard, Shiori Hoshimiya readily agrees. After all, Atsushi Nakajima has a personality similar to giving. His early experience in an orphanage made him sometimes care too much about other people's opinions, but it is precisely this sensitivity That made him extra careful.

It's the so-called gain and loss.

Atsushi Nakajima quickly picked up the garbage bag that was piled up at Shiori Hoshimiya's feet.

The two walked one after the other on the old stairs, and every time they stepped on it, they could hear a tooth-sucking creaking sound, as if the stairs would fall down in a second.

The trash can was placed on the opposite side of the road, throwing away the trash across the deserted street, Shiori Hoshimiya clapped her hands.

Finally regained consciousness, the sleepy bugs from just now had been circling around her, her whole body lacking energy, and when she turned back to the other side of the road, she asked, "So where is Nakajima-kun going...?"

Speaking of it, she still doesn't know how Fukuzawa Yukichi arranged for Atsushi Nakajima in the end. If the normal process is followed, Atsushi Nakajima should be handed over to the government, but Shiori Hoshimiya knows that Fukuzawa Yukichi is very Most likely this decision will not be made.

However, Atsushi Nakajima, who did not join the detective agency, was able to live in the staff dormitory, which also reflected Fukuzawa Yukichi's attitude from the side.

"I'm going to the detective agency later. The president said yesterday that there are still some vacancies in the detective agency, so he asked me to start doing clerical work in the future." Speaking of future life, Atsushi Nakajima showed a smile on his face. A soft smile, born of hope.

"Well, that's great, too."

"Well, I never imagined that I could have such a life before."

To be able to sleep in a room with a ceiling, to have ochazuke for every meal, and to have clean clothes that smell of laundry detergent and sunlight.

The warm and ordinary daily life is enough to make him wonder if he is in a fantasy.

"Ah, by the way, I washed the clothes you lent me last time, and I'll send them to you after they're dry." He remembered that Shiori Xinggong lent her the shirt yesterday, and immediately after receiving the change of clothes yesterday Washed the shirt, but maybe he was using the wrong kind of laundry detergent?

The shirt buried under a thick layer of foam has long lost its original fragrance.

I always feel... like I've lost something.

wait wait wait!Why are you so nostalgic for the smell of each other's clothes all of a sudden? !

Atsushi Nakajima, who suddenly realized something was wrong with him, also became unnatural. Fortunately, Shiori Hoshimiya didn't notice anything.

"What's wrong?" she asked him, turning her head.

"Ah, um, there may be some things I don't understand about work, and I'm worried that it will cause trouble for everyone." Thinking that the other party had seen through his thoughts just now, Atsushi Nakajima was nervous and said something in his heart, "I'm sorry everyone With so much care, I should at least get something in return at work."

At this time, the two had already walked to their respective doors and took out the keys. While opening the door, Hoshimiya Shiori did not forget to answer Nakajima Atsushi, "There is no need to be too nervous. Everyone is a very good person. There is something you don't understand. Just come and ask me."

The door lock was engaged with the key, and the door was opened with a snap. There was no movement inside. The cat should still be sleeping. Shiori Hoshimiya said, "Then I'll see you at the detective agency."

"Well, see you at the detective agency."

"Shiori Shiori, when are you going to find Xiao Hei?" The cat muttered about looking for Xiao Hei as soon as she woke up, and it was Hoshimiya Shiori who pushed her into the bathroom, and Hoshimiya Shiori said: "Okay , let's wash up first."

"Gurrrrrrrrrr—when are we going to find someone..." The cat still had toothpaste foam in its mouth and still kept talking about looking for someone.

In the end, Xinggong Shizhi had no choice but to put her hands on her hips, with a serious expression on her face, "I'll talk about everything after washing up."

This method worked, and the cat obediently brushed its teeth and washed its face.

After breakfast, he turned into a cat again and followed Hoshimiya Shiori to the detective agency.

Before I entered the door, I was spotted by Miss Chunye who happened to be at the door, "Miss Xinggong, ah, are cats here today?"

Ugh!Please don't pretend to meet by chance, but you have been squatting for a long time, and is it really the game's setting that your eyes light up when you see a cat in your arms? !

No, no, no, it's better not to have such a strange and ghostly setting!

"Good morning, Miss Haruno," said Hoshimiya Shiori.

Haruno Qiluozi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I happened to bring some cat snacks here today, just right for the cats to eat."

Ok……

Another coincidence...

If I remember correctly, Fukuzawa Yukichi said the same thing yesterday, and couldn't bear to expose this crude lie, Hoshimiya Shiori smiled and agreed, "Well, then thank you Miss Haruno."

The strange thing is that the cat didn't show any disgust at Miss Haruno's feeding, and even rubbed her tail with the back of her hand after eating the dried fish. sharp contrast.

So, Fukuzawa Yukichi's cat-hating physique is already confirmed, right?

The cat skillfully lay down back into the simple cat nest, wagging its tail once and for all.

The tranquility of the detective agency is broken by the arrival of a certain guest.

As an experienced civil servant, Hoshimiya Shiori was also called to help.

"Detective Ayatsuji, do you want to hand over the case in hand to the Armed Detective Agency?" Kunikida opened the documents that Ayatsuji brought. After reading it, Kunikida couldn't help feeling puzzled, "This case is only one job away, why did you hand it over to us?"

When things go wrong, there must be a demon. Kunikida immediately sensed the abnormality, but because of the presence of the other party, he carefully chose his words and tried to find out what was going on.

"Because this case should belong to the detective agency." Ayatsuji pedestrian's answer was also very ingenious, perfectly evading Kunikida's question and leaving himself clean.

"But..." Kunikida closed the document, it seemed that he already had a lot to say.

At this moment, Luanbu interrupted the conversation between the two, and said in an irrefutable and absolute gesture: "The detective agency will take over this case."

Because Fukuzawa Yukichi, the president, was absent from the detective agency today, Ranpo, the hidden second-in-command of the detective agency, became the one who decided the big things.

"However, it's better to discuss Mr. Ranpo's matter with the president before making a decision." After all, they haven't seen the other party's background and real purpose clearly, "and the things involved in this case are also extremely complicated. "

Luanbu raised his head and glanced at the clock with black hands on a white background, "This detective has already thought about it, the best choice is the Armed Detective Agency."

Now that the documents have been delivered, Ayatsuji pedestrians should leave. He squinted at the clock, his movements were different from those of Ranpo just now. Everyone else thought it was an inadvertent movement, only Hoshimiya Shiori stayed behind. Be careful.

You might as well take Ayatsuji Xingren’s ability as an entry point. His ability is called [Another]. Unexpectedly.

What forced Ayatsuji to give up the commission?

The biggest possibility of giving up the commission is that you don’t want to cause someone to die in the end, no, no, no, this definition is too broad, narrow the scope, and then specialize.

He didn't want specific people to die because they were convicted of the murder.

In that case, Shiori Xinggong was the most suspect, whether it was the Green King Bishui Liu's attempt to take her under his command in the world of supernatural powers, or other weird situations in this world of supernatural powers.

It seems that all the evidence points to Xinggong Shiori as the most likely murderer.

However, these guesses are all based on the fact that the other party is ordinary. For Ayatsuji pedestrian, it is impossible to be deceived by this illusion with his reasoning level.

Or, some secret agreement was reached between Ayatsuji pedestrians and Edogawa Rampo.

As Hoshimiya Shiori previously envisioned, some game characters have already started to cooperate.

After Ayatsuji left, Shiori Hoshimiya returned to the desk.

"Shizhi—" she seemed to hear the voice of Luanbu, "I can't seem to find the puzzle."

"Puzzle?" she repeated.

Luanbu has a habit of throwing things around, and the lost things will often appear by themselves in two days, "Let me help you look for it first, if you can't find it, it will appear by itself in two days."

"By the way, what kind of jigsaw puzzle is it?" In order to find things easier, she tied her hair up with a hair tie, and one or two strands of naturally curly hair curled up by her ears.

"It's a forest pattern."

Luanbu was squatting under the desk, looking for his own puzzle in the darkness.

After searching for a while, almost searching through the entire detective agency, she couldn't find the puzzle of the forest pattern that Ranpo said. She couldn't help but asked again, "Did you remember it wrong?"
