Yunyang Novelist Luanbu

The sudden sound of the fire alarm at the Seaside Resort Hotel in Tokyo is not a particularly good thing for the hotel itself.Although there are safety facilities, even if the furnishings inside are insured, the time for repairs and business closures will lose the interests of the hotel.Furthermore, the resort hotel encountered an accident less than a month after it was newly opened. If there are competitors in the same industry who fan the flames, the reputation may not be good.

Manager Sakai is currently arranging for the hotel personnel to evacuate the crowd urgently. Before the cause of the siren is found out, any passengers living in the hotel must be evacuated from the hotel.Of course, when the sound rang, the passengers themselves became alert, and then they were just cooperating with the waiters.

There has been a knock on the door of the chaotic room.

Gojo Wu and Xia Youjie walked to the door at the same time, and the one who opened the door was the Kudou couple who were ready to evacuate.Kudo Yukiko was hugging Mori Ran, while Kudo Yusaku was holding Kudo Shinichi, who was looking around because the siren sounded, and was still energetic in the middle of the night.

"Don't take your luggage. Let's leave quickly through the escape stairs."

Yusaku Kudo only brought light things such as hard drives and documents at this time.As for other money, this is not something that needs to be dealt with.But he was afraid that some teenagers would not hear any sound while wearing headphones while playing games at night, so Yusaku Kudo came to find the three teenagers to confirm the situation as soon as he left the room.

Luanbu's luggage was originally a box of snacks.

Now that box has long been a trash can in the room, and there is nothing to take.

However, this time is not the time to complain.

As soon as Yusaku Kudo finished speaking, he noticed the tense expressions of the two teenagers: "Is Ranpo-kun gone?"

As the big elder of this small group, Kudo Yusaku has mastered the whole situation.As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately said to the two people: "Let's leave from the escape ladder first. Mr. Ranbu is very smart. He won't be trapped somewhere because of this matter and cannot save himself. Maybe he has already gone out by himself. Will get in touch with the manager, try using the radio to start looking."

Kudo Yusaku didn't want to delay any chance of escape.

However, Gojo Wu and Xia Youjie still stood where they were.

In fact, their identity as conjurers cannot be publicized.

But if he didn't say anything, I'm afraid Yusaku Kudo would not let them go easily.Kudo Yusaku's sense of responsibility as an elder lies in, "No matter how strong the other party is, a minor is a minor, and they need to be protected."

So Wujo Gojo and Xia Youjie exchanged glances and said, "Mr. Kudo, we will send you out of this hotel first. There are treacherous and cunning curse spirits lurking in the hotel. We have to get rid of them before we can leave here."

Gojo Satoru felt the presence of the mantra when he arrived at the beach on the first day.It's just that the curse spirit itself doesn't show much hostility, and its harmful aura is also very weak, giving people a strange feeling that seems to be absent.Therefore, Gojo Satoru wanted to stand still and observe the situation, not wanting to startle the snake.In addition, he knew that Xia Youjie would not sit idly by, so he was also happy to joke with Xia Youjie.

But now, this curse spirit has begun to interfere with the normal life of more people. It can be seen that this curse spirit is growing. If it continues to ignore it, it may cause catastrophe.

Naturally, there is no need to explain these words to Kudo Yusaku in too much detail, and there is no need to even explain what a curse spirit is.

Some things just need more time to explain.

At this time, as long as you do it for them, they will naturally understand.

Therefore, Xia Youjie spread his right hand, and summoned the ghost manta ray that is usually used for riding.

Yusaku Kudo could feel a strange wind in the air suddenly.Before he could react, he, Yukiko and Kudo Yukiko, who were holding Mourilan, soared into the air.

This weightlessness didn't last long.

Because in the next second they were like a roller coaster, and the scenes they saw around them began to move backward at a rapid speed, and they came to the edge of the terrace in the blink of an eye.The warm light in the room has been left behind, and the dark night like dark velvet can be seen upwards.

The moon in the middle of the night sky was so bright and huge that it seemed like a bright lamp that was close at hand.

Yukiko and Mao Liran subconsciously looked up to the sky.

Gojo Wujo and Xia Youjie, who thought they were left behind, stopped at this moment like cats with no gravity, standing above the fence of the terrace.Gojo Satoru planned to stay in the hotel and carry out a blanket search. Xia Youjie, who had a perfect understanding, didn't need to say much, just squinted his eyes and smiled: "Everyone, are you ready? Don't scream, it will be bad if you are discovered. "

Even if they've chosen out-of-the-way places.

Mao Lilan subconsciously covered her mouth.

She's so cute.

Noticing this, Xia Youjie smiled, and then thought of Edogawa Ranpo, a guy who could only pretend to be obedient. With this comparison, Xia Youjie sighed in his heart, but in order not to be found Emotionally, he smiled again.

"Then we can begin preparations. Three, two,—"

Before "One", Xia Youjie jumped down from the high platform first.Kudo Yusaku and the others subconsciously wanted to say be careful, but they followed Xia Youjie's figure and fell straight down.Mao Lilan let go of her voice subconsciously, and Yuxizi couldn't help but exclaimed.This is even more thrilling than filming an adventure action scene. There are no safety measures at all, just jumping directly from the tenth-floor terrace to the ground.

This process only takes a few seconds.

It's just that Xia Youjie buffered them when they reached the ground.

Xia Youjie deliberately picked an uninhabited area to land.

Yusaku Kudo had to go back to the square in front of the hotel, because there, the hotel staff would make sure that all the passengers had been evacuated based on the list.

"Ranpo-kun also has this kind of ability?" Kudo Yusaku couldn't see any tricks in it, which was closer to a kind of ability beyond ordinary people's ability.

Xia Youjie was not sure: "I don't know either."

Ranpo's identity has not yet been confirmed.On the surface, he is well-behaved and obedient, and can be coaxed with nice words, but when it comes to his own affairs, he always talks about him.This is undoubtedly not believing them.

It was obvious that he had already started to show his favor to him, but he didn't believe himself in this alienation.Xia Youjie didn't know whether to say he was angry, disappointed, or unhappy.These emotions are more or less mixed with the arrogance of a young man who does not easily bow his head to others.So these emotions got mixed up, Xia Youjie only felt complicated.

If you want to find the most suitable word for this mood, it is probably "entangled".

(What do you want to do with this random step?)

"It's impossible for Ranbu to leave the room on the tenth floor on his own. He is lazy in nature. Regarding this point, you have to think carefully about who he met today?" Kudo Yusaku felt that Gojo Satoru and the others also had their own search way, and reminded them of one thing.

According to Kudo Yusaku's observation, Ranpo has his own ideas, and the things that can attract his attention are actually limited. It can be sweets, mystery novels, or people of the same profession.Although he is also willing to play with Shinichi and Xiaolan, it doesn't mean that if anyone gives him some reaction, he will respond to the other party.

In essence, Luanbu doesn't like to talk to people.

Edogawa Ranpo left Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie's sight was very short, barely two or three minutes, and then went to sleep in the room.If you want to leave from the main entrance, you will definitely meet Gojo Wu and Xia Youjie. The only possibility is to leave from the windowsill on the tenth floor.But if there is any movement inside, it shouldn't be impossible to hear it.

So the last time I saw Edogawa Ranpo, he was already missing.

The above is conventional reasoning.

Of course, if there is only conventional reasoning, Yusaku Kudo can obtain the truth most accurately.But now seeing the abilities of Xia Youjie and Wujo Wu, there are unpredictable unknowns in this disappearance.

If you can't think about the method, then start with his purpose.

But what's the purpose of wandering?

This is still difficult for Yusaku Kudo to understand.

Unless someone lured him out of the room, it might be with food.If this is the case, this disorderly step cannot be raised poorly.Only by being rich and improving his vision and knowledge, he will not run away just for a few pieces of cake.

That's too dangerous.

Kudo Yusaku has already started planning to go back to the United States, whether to entrust Dr. Ali to feed Edogawa Ranpo regularly, so as to prevent him from being too gluttonous and running away with the bad guys and getting into danger.Even if Luanpo has a brain and a way to solve the problem, it is good to be less dangerous.

Xia Youjie on this side seriously considered Yusaku Kudo's suggestion.

But he was not impressed.

Luanbu didn't leave their sight for a whole day, and if someone talked to him, they would definitely find out.

Xia Youjie planned to respond first, and then slowly think about this question.After all, the curse spirit in the hotel is the key point.According to Gojo Satoru's speculation, this curse spirit may have the ability of "mind manipulation" and "transfiguration".Because every time you notice it, the curse spirit has a different appearance, and at the same time, some cases will happen around it.

At this time, Yusaku Kudo suddenly realized: "Do you still remember that during dinner, when the waiter I called your attention came over, he said a word to Ranpo?"

"..."

The difficulty of this memory is like finding the first few frames in a movie.

"Well, he said 'OK, here's your juice'. "

There was nothing wrong with this sentence at first glance, but the problem was that there was a pause when the waiter said this sentence.The "good" in it is like a meaningless spoken word, similar to "ummm..." or "well" in English.

"He said "Okay" first, looked carefully at Ranbu's expression, and then said "This is your juice." "

At that time, Ranpo didn't have any big reaction, and started drinking juice directly, and Kudo Yusaku didn't take it seriously.

Although Xia Youjie didn't know how Yusaku Kudo sorted out the logic, he already knew what Yusaku Kudo meant. "I'm going to find the waiter, he might know where Luanpo is."

Yusaku Kudo nodded. Seeing that Xia Youjie was about to leave, he couldn't help saying: "I will call your teacher to help. It is not your duty to save people. Protect yourself first, and don't take it lightly."

After all, the hotel manager and the others had rescued the police, and among the people who could help Gojo Satoru and them, Yusaku Kudo only knew their teacher.

Hearing this, Xia Youjie felt an inexplicable warm current in his chest, and couldn't help laughing. This was the first time he met someone who cared about them as children from the very beginning.Most of the ordinary people I met before saw them as debt collectors——

"Help me!"

"hurry up!"

"No matter what happens, get my child out first."

"Are you worthy of the money we gave you for doing this?"

……

Therefore, Xia Youjie actually doesn't like to be in contact with ordinary people because of selfishness, especially when the curse spirit threatens their lives and interests. Having to endure it out of responsibility is like swallowing a curse, which is uncomfortable and disgusting.

"Thanks, we'll keep an eye out."

Although Xia Youjie felt that there was no particular need to ask Ye Mozheng to come and help, but it was not a bad thing to come to help.

The hotel where the fire broke out was in a double room on the seventh floor.

The reason for the fire is naturally that someone will deal with it.

The reason why Gojo Satoru approached the crime scene is simple.Because the possibility of this curse spirit appearing in the case will be relatively high.Just like the car crash at the beach before, although it left very early, it did happen.

The flames of the fire scene were overwhelming, but when they approached the seventh floor, a wave of heat came oncoming. If there were still people on this floor who hadn't left, they might already be powerless.Now it is not the kind of fire that can be solved by putting out the fire with a fire hydrant.

Gojo Satoru's light blue pupils were gazing at the fire scene without any waves at the moment, while his footsteps walked into the middle of the fire scene without hesitation.This is already a surprising scene, but at this time, if you see that the flames around Gojo Satoru seem to have a sense of life, when you encounter a capable person who is above your own ability, you will be afraid. Generally, it retreats automatically and burns in the opposite direction, which will make you feel even more surprised.

The place where the fire broke out at the beginning has been burnt black, and the air is filled with a stench of charred meat and the smell of barbecue. There is no doubt that unless there are pets in the room, Otherwise, the smell undoubtedly came from the corpses in the room.

And the wind brought by the heat wave was blowing Gojo Satoru's hair.

At this time, a small voice suddenly appeared at the door.Gojo Satoru sensed the existence of a black shadow with his six senses, broke through the wall in the inner room, and followed the curse spirit closely in the form of parallel tracking.It's just that Manu Ling seems to have the physical fitness of an ordinary person. Gojo Wu caught up with him in less than two seconds, and broke through the side wall to block him directly in front of him.

Gojo Satoru, who was looking face to face with the curse spirit, couldn't help feeling a little funny.Because the current mannequin looks like a mannequin in a shopping mall window, except that this person has a pair of big black eyes and a mouth with white teeth.But while laughing, Wujo Wu punched directly through the abdomen of the curse spirit.

The shadow-like curse spirit began to dissipate from the center of the abdomen.

But Gojo Satoru didn't stop attacking.Because the moment of hitting, there is no real feeling.The black shadow is like a fog, and realizing that Gojo Satoru has realized the problem, a cold smile rises on the corner of his mouth.Black's voice seemed to have been processed by a machine, and every pronunciation was subtle and weird.

"If you want to catch me, you must at least know who I am?"

After all, the black shadow disappeared immediately.

Gojo Satoru stared at the place where the black shadow was standing, and smiled angrily, his usually pure blue eyes looked extremely gorgeous under the firelight at this moment.

It's just a mere curse spirit, yet dare to provoke me in front of me? !

"Wu! How's the situation?"

Unlike Wujo Wujo who used spells to protect his body, Xia Youjie used a highly defensive spell to protect his body from attacks.

Gojo Satoru raised a smile and said, "Of course it succeeded."

Before he finished speaking, he continued to smile happily: "The moment I hit it, I put your sticky magic sticker inside its body, and punched it a few times, deliberately attracting its attention .It ran away immediately."

Xia Youjie nodded and said, "Then there is only one thing to do now, just track it down."

Why does this curse spirit with Edogawa Ranpo's name on it exist?

What does it have to do with him?

Maybe there will be an answer soon.

Xia Youjie took a deep breath, spread his hands, and a butterfly-shaped magic spirit flew up. If you look carefully, you can find a face with a frightened face printed on the upper butterfly wing. The face will also change.The feeding organ is not in the head, but in the abdomen.

This is the same as the "slimy curse spirit" mentioned by Wujo just now, which is a group of curse spirits related to predators and prey.

There was no hindrance when the curse spirit took off, and after passing through the fire scene, it flew slowly towards the seaside cliff.

Both Xia Youjie and Wujo Wu followed the butterfly.

(Finally, the true face of Edogawa Ranpo is about to appear.)
