Yunyang Novelist Luanbu

This is Edogawa Ranpo's first day in this world.

If you ask him why he specifically emphasized "this world", he will probably say very irritatedly, "Don't ask me about such a simple matter."But in fact, it has nothing to do with whether he got lost again, he just came to the new world in a flash.

There was still pain in Edogawa's neck at the moment.

In the present world, there is no so-called "hunter", no "psychic ability", no "meteor street", and even the "nuns" on your body can't be used.

The words of the new world made Edogawa Ranpo feel familiar, and Ranpo's memory suddenly returned to the days when he was studying and reading in the police academy after his parents' funeral.At that time, Luanbu was thrown out of the school because he couldn't stand the rigid rules there, and told the dormitory supervisor's unbearable love history.Helpless, Edogawa Ranpo, who can only live on social pensions, fell to a place called Meteor Street.

The people on Meteor Street are more violent, vulgar, and unreasonable than the people in the police academy.

Once you don't have the strength to protect what you own, you will only be bullied even more for granted.For the first time, Edogawa Ranpo, who has not yet fully matured, feels the urgent pressure to live.When people are pushed to the limit, they will either collapse to the point of madness or want to die, or a strong desire to survive will burst out in their heads.

Edogawa Ranpo belongs to the latter.

If he doesn't want to be treated as waste, or be beheaded, or dismembered, or forced to sell his body parts, he must have a skill that can find him alive.After living on Meteor Street for one day, Luanbu immediately figured out the cruel rules of survival inside. Under the vultures circling in the sky trying to find food, he resolutely wanted to be a novelist.

All his stories are contained in his own head, and he will not bring them with him when he is born, and he will not take them with him when he dies.There's no way anyone can take that talent away, and if they want their own story, they certainly can't let Ranpo Edogawa die.

Furthermore, the residents of Meteor Street lack knowledge and books.

This Meteor Street is a waste accumulation area on the entire continent, but there have never been any discarded books or notebooks, not even religious pamphlets.It seems that people who are afraid of being abandoned here have a little education, or that people born here are not worthy of any knowledge.

Perhaps, the answer may also be to confirm the official record "Meteor Street is a no-man's belt", this is a place completely abandoned and forgotten by the world.

The most important thing is that he loses his arms and legs when he walks randomly, and even runs 800 meters in the police academy without vomiting. He can't even compare with the five-year-old on Meteor Street.Luanbu, who can't fight his physical strength, can only fight his own brain power.

It took Edogawa Ranpo two years to walk out of Meteor Street, and one year to become a guest of high society in Youkexin City. The series of novels named "Komatsu Ryunosuke" are highly sought after by book fans all over the world. .

At a signing event, Edogawa Ranpo met a handsome young man with a bandage on his forehead.This self-proclaimed "Kuroro" is a fan of his books, and he is very aware of Ranpo's hobby. At the end of the signing session, Kuroro invited Edogawa Ranpo to participate in the dessert buffet.

At the buffet, Kuroro asked a lot of questions about Edogawa Ranpo's writing, about the materials and inspiration of his writing, how he expresses the psychology of the murderer so vividly, and so on.Ranpo has never thought about these issues. He just likes to write stories about thieves and murderers, but he has no interest in real cases.

"The most important reason why a real case is scary is that it is "real" and will cause people to feel fear and chills.But the fictional stories I wrote are all false.It is obviously false and illusory, but it makes people feel frightened and shuddering, isn't it better? "

Ranpo said while biting the spoon that scooped up the pudding.

"Besides, the real cases are very simple.

I usually know the truth at a glance.Wouldn't that rough technique make people feel boring?On the contrary, I am thinking about how to create bizarre and thrilling cases every day. I am thinking about the perfect crime bit by bit, and I am competing with the invisible reader to see if he can see my tricks.These all make me feel stimulated and excited. "

Edogawa ran in front of Kuroro in a leisurely manner, full of pride, as if the noble Persian cat raised its body not to let the owner touch it, but to say, "Seeing how beautiful I am! No more fur."

Kuroro raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "So, don't you read the newspaper for inspiration? Even if you don't use it, don't you read it?"

"I'm not interested in real crime at all. I don't like to see blood, and I don't like to see all kinds of physical evidence, photos, and traces at the crime scene. These will become moving images in my mind. When I saw them, they seemed to rush to me and tell me how this happened, making a noise like cicadas in summer."

"So, to Ranpo-san, what exactly is a novel?"

For Ranpo Edogawa three years ago, novels were his capital and confidence to survive.But as he continued to write down, Edogawa Ranpo discovered that it was not just that.

""For me, the world in the daytime is like an unreal space, and the dream world at night is my reality. There is my real life."*"

Edogawa ranpo took a sip from the water glass, as if to clear his mouth for a bite of dessert, or to organize his thoughts, he paused, as if a halo from the apocalypse shone on him at this moment, let him suddenly see the light.

"Fiction is what my life is all about! The one who writes the book is me who is truly invincible!"

In Kuroro's sight, a chocolate-colored substance slowly appeared in the water cup held by Edogawa Ranpo, and at the same time, Edogawa Ranpo was instantly scalded by the cup in his hand.

"Eh - did I get hot chocolate?"

Edogawa Ranpo burst out with countless inspirations in a trance just now, surging, almost swallowing him, but his reason was immediately brought back by the hot cocoa in his hand.

Just as Kuroro was about to explain, Ranpo suddenly activated the ability of the trait system just now.

In this "mind ability" world, trait mind ability is extremely rare and cannot be cultivated from outside affairs. Generally, those who have this kind of trait mind ability either have special blood inheritance or have special experience. Very few people can pass the extreme Faith arises.

The easiest way to judge the difference in mindfulness ability is through the "water view style".

When the person with the ability to increase or decrease the amount of water, this type is called "strengthening system".

When the person with the ability to read changes the taste of the water, this type is "change system".

When different substances appear in the water, this type is "realization system".

When the color of the water changes, this is the "release system".

The leaves placed on the water move, this is the "operating system".

If the above five situations are different, this is called "trait system".

Edogawa Ranpo is obviously a trait type.

In addition, people with the ability to remember traits are generally very unique in character.

Kuroro originally thought that Edogawa Ranpo was a person with the ability to read, but he didn't expect that he only activated the ability now.But Luanbu's sentence "Then why doesn't my hot cocoa have marshmallows?" completely interrupted Kuroro's conversation.

Edogawa Ranpo immediately went to the dining area to get a small plate of cloud-shaped cotton candy.

Kuroro clasped his hands together, his telekinetic ability is "Cheats of Thieves".This ability can steal anyone's mind ability, but four conditions must be met.His ability to think about whether to steal Chaos Step wavered a bit.In fact, Ranpo's reading ability is obviously only related to "writing books", and Kuroro himself just likes books.The reason why he wavers is because Kuroro also has a habit of collecting good things.

Edogawa Ranpo's mind ability is very special and interesting.

Seeing Luanbu come back, Kuroro had already prepared paper and pens and said: "Just now before you left the table, you heard your inspiration burst out, so I asked the waiter to prepare it. I hope it can help you."

Edogawa Ranpo still had a chocolate-colored mustache on his lips, it was obvious that he just took a big sip of that hot cocoa.He opened his blue eyes, met Kuroro's dark eyes, and said, "Are you the head of the Phantom Troupe?"

Kuroro kept an innocent smile on his face: "Maybe I don't understand what you're talking about?"

"When I first met you, I knew that you were the leader of the Phantom Brigade. Your ability is to steal other people's thoughts. But no one else knows what the conditions are. Your purpose of approaching me is very simple .You think I might have the ability to read, for a group leader who is obsessed with collecting, it is natural to just steal what he wants."

Edogawa Ranpo pointed to his forehead and said, "You should have a cross tattoo here, right?"

After Kuroro was exposed, not only did he not become angry from embarrassment, but he smiled more naturally and relaxedly.He leaned back on the back of the chair, adjusted his sitting position more comfortably, and said: "Mr. Ranbu found out my identity and still followed me here, shouldn't he be trying to help himself with this dessert?"

“The dessert buffet is a thing.”

Edogawa ranpo smiled and narrowed his eyes, and said to Kuroro.

"I love talking to bad guys. I really like villain characters like you, 'I don't know what wonderful, unimaginable, pinnacle crime novel I could write with half your evil talents.'*"

……

Edogawa rubbed his neck in disorder, thinking about what happened after his meeting with Kuroro.He only remembered that he was going home to write a book, and suddenly his memory was interrupted, just like drinking fake wine.Of course, if you don't drink in disorder, it will be terrible.

Now he is like three years ago, he came to the new world in the blink of an eye.At the same time, he didn't know why he still had a large piece of hemostatic tape on his neck.

Luanbu felt uncomfortable being stuck, and subconsciously wanted to grab, but the place where he was caught was more painful.So he decided to divert his attention by doing something else.Seeing a nearby hardware store selling gold, silver, pearls and jade, he took his gold coins and went to the boss to exchange for a new notebook and pen.

The boss said that if there are many gold coins that can be exchanged with him, he will use [-] yen and Ranpo to buy all the gold coins on his body.

Luanbu refused, he had to hurry up and write down the inspiration.He has now begun to forget what inspiration is.He eagerly even sat down on the stairs next to the street and brought up a pen and paper.

"It is said that the monster's whole body was painted with ink, as if it had been smeared with ink, it was frighteningly black—"*

Not far away are a few young bastards who just peeped at the heavy gold coins in Edogawa Ranpo's pocket.Seeing Edogawa sitting on the ground in random steps, several people looked at each other and strode towards the direction of chaos.

It's eleven o'clock at night in Tokyo.

Two students at Tokyo Juga High were knocked out of the dormitory bed by their homeroom teacher at the same time.Yemo Zhengdao raised his voice and said: "Urgent mission, a super magic spirit has appeared in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and has killed seven people. Now some magicians have gone to set up "tents", and rescue is still needed. "

"...Teacher, staying up too late is one of the important reasons for the sudden death of young people." Gojo Satoru didn't want to move at all, and even started to pretend to be dead. "I need a good sleep."

"Don't think that I didn't see you playing with your phone just now." Ye Mozheng urged.

So, Xia Youjie was in charge of dragging Wutiao Wu off the bed, and Wutiao Wu's head hit the floor with a "boom".Xia Youjie suddenly burst out laughing.

Seeing that the two of them were going to fight like usual, Noctua moth said solemnly: "That curse spirit is still holding a person as its hostage, hurry up! Stop making trouble!"

"This curse spirit is quite smart."

The author has something to say:

This Edogawa Ranpo is a mixture of Wenhao/Buno, and the idea of ​​writing a book will be the same as Wenhao, but the other settings are basically Wenye.

"The famous murderers Eugene Allan, Wainwright, Dr. Webbers, Landru, these people are all objects of my admiration. If I can have half of their evil talents, I don't know how wonderful I can write Detective novels and crime novels. I think so from the bottom of my heart.”——Ranpo Edogawa (Hakubunkan’s “My Wicked Volunteer”)

In addition, when it comes to not liking blood, some references are made to Edogawa Ranpo's "My Wicked Volunteer" in terms of conception.

"It is said that the monster's whole body was painted with black ink, as if it had been smeared with ink. It was so black that it was frightening——" *by Edogawa Ranpo "Youth Detective Team"
