Yunyang Novelist Luanbu

"Ranbu-kun, come on!"

"Goodbye, it's fun!"

"Don't get lost!!"

At this moment, it was at the gate of Tokyo Curse High School, before the torii gate, students who had nothing to do stopped by in small groups to send Luanbu off.And now Ranpo is about to be sent to Yokohama Seigakukan Publishing House by Noctua Masodo.It was originally discussed that Ranpo should live in Yokohama for a period of time, but after all Yokohama is not far from Tokyo, about an hour's drive away.Therefore, the moth Zhengdao still intends to let Ranbu return the curse at night to avoid "his young and innocent heart being polluted by the colorful world of Yokohama".

This is the original sentence of Night Moth Zhengdao.

The reason for saying this is that Morishita Yumori said that he would take Ranbu to get to know the seniors of the Seigakukan, which naturally includes the old writer Sajiro Yamamoto who ranks first in their publishing house.

This Yamamoto Zuojiro has a gorgeous writing style, flamboyant rhetoric, and is very good at describing the beauty of characters. The boys and girls in his works are all beautiful things in the world. In addition, the stories are weird, confusing, and thought-provoking. "The emotions and beauty of boys and girls" and "the cruelty of the world" Fit tightly together.To this day, it is still a bestseller.

However, he himself is a well-known lecherous old man, who is not taboo about men and women, and has been featured in news magazines several times.Yamamoto Zuojiro still took pleasure in this, and because there was no conclusive evidence, he also let it go.

Ye Mozheng knew that there was such a person, so how could he dare to let Luanbu spend the night alone, for fear that the other party would use his status as a senior to overwhelm him, or that Luanbu's character was pure and innocent, and he didn't know he was being taken advantage of, so he let the other party manipulate him.Thinking about it, Noctuma Zhengdao's slender heart couldn't bear it at first.

Of course, it is naturally impossible for Senxia Yusen to let Luanbu accompany the dinner at night.

It's just that Ye Mo Zhengdao insisted on being willing to pick up and drop off back and forth, so Mori Xia Yusen was not reluctant.

Then again, why is Ranbu so popular.

In fact, after Ranpo returned to Mangao from the hotel, he lost much of the limelight for a while.As soon as he returned to school, the students who only knew his name came to watch him one after another, asking him what new books he could read recently.

There is a reason for this. Under the Amway of Haibara Yuu, everyone in the small Jugao School has read Edogawa Ranpo's book "Two Cents".The book is good-looking on the one hand, and on the other hand, these conjurers also found that there is a small amount of magic power in the book of Luanbu (*1).

And the most important thing is that these spells can be absorbed.

In fact, the spell power of a conjurer actually has an upper limit, but it is extremely rare to be able to convert the spell power into the reader's own energy through words.Not much, but better than nothing.Of course, Gojo Wu and Xia Youjie also knew about this, but they were not interested in the power of the spell, and they didn't tell Ranbu about this shocking thing that shocked the whole school.

On the same day, as soon as Luanbu arrived at the school, he met the conjurer students who had a copy of "Two Cents", and they asked them to sign.

Therefore, Xia Youjie, who originally wanted to create more opportunities for Ranpo and Gojo Satoru to reconcile, often just watched Ranpo being brought away with delicacies by teachers and students of all grades.And the plan to use delicious food to capture Ranpo's heart also ran aground.

The only one who came to send Luanbu was Jiarui Nizi.

Gojo Wu and Xia Youjie took the task of protecting the "star plasma body" from the Noctua moth, which was the order of "Master Tianyuan", the ceiling of the magic world.He left very early this morning, and only Jiarui Nizi, on behalf of the second grade, came to send Luanbu off.

After saying goodbye to Luanbu, Jiarui Nitzi still stood where he was, with his head tilted slightly, lost in thought.In fact, she saw the subtle atmosphere between Ranpo, Wujo Wu and Xia Youjie.

Before Ranpo came to school, Wujo Wu and Xia Youjie were always fighting each other.But ever since Ranpo began to come among them, Jiarui Nitzi would often see that in the presence of these three people, it would always be Ranpo and Gojo Satoru who were arguing over trivial matters, while the next to him Xia Youjie is always in charge of making peace and mediating.

But this time after the three of them cursed back, as long as there were three of them, it would be extremely quiet.Either when Luanpo was talking to Xia Youjie, Wutiaowu appeared, and Luanbu shut his mouth; or Xia Youjie was talking with Wutiaowu, and Wutiaowu immediately fell silent when Luanbu came over.

There are not many occasions where Gojo Satoru can shut up his mouth, and Kazuko suspects that this will be recorded in the school history.Therefore, with the enthusiasm to help them solve problems, resolve conflicts, and deal with disputes, Jia Ruozi learned that Gojo Wu and Ranpo had a quarrel, and made Ranbu cry.

Although she finds it unbelievable, after all, in the two years that she has known Gojo Satoru, only Gojo Satoru is still righteous after scolding the other party to tears, scaring the other party so that he dare not see his face again, how can there be such a behavior that Gojo Satoru will take the initiative to retreat .But Jia Ruozi said: "Isn't this a matter that can be solved by saying sorry?" After all, Gojo Satoru probably scolded very badly.

At that time, there were only Jiarui Nitzi and Wujo Wu in the classroom. Otherwise, Jiarui Nitzi would have heard Xia Youjie's complaint "He just wants to save face", and would imitate Wujou's words "I don't have any in Wujou's dictionary. The words "sorry" "sorry" "sorry"".Wujo Wu's long legs rested on the desk, with a disdainful expression on his face, he said, "He ignores me, and I ignore him."

If you hadn't heard about Gojo Satoru queuing up to buy limited-time and limited-edition Japanese-style sweets for Ranpo, you would have to express your belief in the family.

In addition to this change, Jiarui also discovered that——

Luanbu generally doesn't call people by their names, and rarely calls them. When necessary, they always use "you" and "that" instead of calling names.After a long time, Jiarui Nitzi felt that Luanbu didn't know what everyone's name was.But Xia Youjie's name is always called well.After Luanbu came back from the hotel, when Jiaruizi heard Luanbu call Xia Youjie "Jie", he realized that this was the first time he heard Luanbu calling someone by his name.

I feel that there is an inexplicable pattern of mutual domestication in the relationship between these three people, which makes Jia Ruzi feel particularly interesting.

As soon as Ranpo arrived at the agreed address in Yokohama, he met Morishita Yumori who was holding a gift pack of snacks.Ranpo happily ran up to him right then, and swore that Yusen Mori would be the editor-in-chief in the future, which made Yusen Mori laugh out loud.

The night moth Zhengdao next to him still had his eyes glued to Luanbu: "Mr. Luanbu."

Only then did Luanbu turn around, and said to Noctua Zhengdao: "Uncle, your task is completed, you can go."

"..."

Why is there such a sense of déjà vu that you use it and throw it away?

Noctua's slender heart faltered for a moment.Then he said to Senxia Yusen: "At six o'clock in the afternoon, I will meet you here and come to pick up Luanbu and go back."

"I know, I'll make sure he's okay."

Morishia Yusen was infected by Ranbu's excitement, and the corner of his mouth had been smiling ever since he saw Ranbu.A few days ago, I saw Ranpo wearing a Hawaiian shirt and beach pants. He looked very refreshing. Now he is wearing his usual kimono, showing the arrogance of a well-loved young master from a wealthy family.

Seeing the two people walking away without looking back, Ye Mo Zhengdao suddenly felt empty in his heart.After sighing, Ye Mo Zhengdao's gaze became clear and firm again.He quickly found a parking space in the Yokohama parking lot, then changed into a black suit, dressed up as a nine-to-five white-collar worker, and secretly followed Ranpo and Morishata Yumori.

Today's plan is simple.

Morishita Yumori proceeded completely according to Ranpo's intentions, and then added important things when Ranpo was in a good mood-"Their editor-in-chief Ninomiya would like to see Ranpo himself."

To be honest, the current Qing Xueguan is facing a very embarrassing situation.

Their book sales have dropped sharply by more than ten percent again compared to last year, they have been running deficits, and have accumulated debts for more than four years.In order to avoid the eventual collapse of Qing Xue Guan and the layoffs of old and new employees, the board of directors has faintly spread the news that it intends to carry out corporate restructuring of "Qing Xue Guan Publishing House".Not surprisingly, the merger party should be "Fuchuan Publishing House", which was recently established to target young readers.The other party put forward the condition of "willing to bear all the debts and debts of Qingxueguan, and keep all employees of Qingxueguan to have jobs", which has shown the greatest sincerity.

However, this also means that Qingxueguan, which mainly pursues cultural quality and diverse literary markets, also needs to cooperate with Bucheon Publishing House to operate a business policy centered on fast-food literature.For many loyal readers of Qingxueguan, especially old readers, it is a very regrettable thing.

In fact, the reason for the postponement of the corporate restructuring plan is that there is still a Yamamoto Sajiro in Seigakukan.His existence represents sales, and represents the opportunity to bring the dead back to life.However, Sajiro Yamamoto has not had a new book for two years. It is said that he has no inspiration and is traveling around to collect materials.

But it was not until recently that the editor-in-chief of Ninomiya heard that the first writer Sajiro Yamamoto planned to terminate the contract with the Seigakukan and no longer accept invitations from the Seigakukan.

According to Morishita Yusen's industry friends, Yamamoto Sajiro seems to have contacts with the editor of Jirong Society. He has seen the editor there invite Yamamoto Zuojiro to dinner several times, and seems to be discussing the matter of the new book.In other words, Sajiro Yamamoto probably heard about the corporate reorganization of Seigakukan Publishing House and planned to use it to find another job.The editor of Jirong Club had the intention in the first place, and the two hit it off immediately.

Even though the editor-in-chief of Ninomiya thinks that Zuojiro Yamamoto should also talk about human feelings, he has to accept the fact that people go to high places.What's more, they signed a work agreement, and Sajiro Yamamoto was unwilling to continue publishing works in Seigakukan, so that did not violate the terms and conditions of the contract.

Now, the editor-in-chief is hoping that the young author Luanbu who has signed a contract can give the publishing house a shot in the arm and break the deadlock at the moment.If Edogawa Ranpo can bring up sales, maybe the publishing house can slow down a little longer.

These words were naturally between the editor-in-chief of Ninomiya and Amori Morishita, it was impossible to tell Ranpo such an important matter directly.How many are just praying for miracles and looking forward to hope.

Then why did Morishita Yumori want to introduce Ranpo to him knowing that Sajiro Yamamoto had already separated from Seigakukan?The reason is simple, Sajiro Yamamoto is one of the judges for this Naoki Award.

At the moment, Ranpo is eating the most famous Margherita pizza in Yokohama in the pizzeria in the red brick warehouse, still chewing on one piece, and still grabbing an extra piece in his hand.It seemed that he was quite concentrating on eating, but Morishita Yusen noticed that Ranbu had been looking at the red-haired boy on the booth not far away.

Following the line of sight, Morishita Yusen could see a tall red-haired boy who was about the same age as Ranbu, with both hands clenched on his knees, and his eyes were fixed on the other side of the booth.Judging from the situation, he should be talking about something important with someone.

"What's the matter?" Morishita Yusen asked curiously.

"He's in trouble." Luanbu said vaguely, chewing on pizza.

Morishita Yusen subconsciously looked back at the boy again, it could be seen that he was in a state of tension, and he didn't even drink water.The amount of water in the transparent cup is enough to make a point.It is indeed reasonable to say that you are "in trouble", but it may be because you are discussing something embarrassing, so your spirit is tense.

Morishita Yusen didn't care, it was just because Ranpo had been observing the other party, so he picked up the topic for a while, and continued: "What trouble do you encounter?"

Edogawa Ranpo said nonchalantly: "The trouble of 'need to call the police', but you can't call the police.I'll just take a look. "

"What's a 'need to call the police' trouble?What is "can't call the police"? "

"Then you promise me 'don't worry about it', and I'll tell you. "Walking about with his calves, he said, "I still want to know what will happen. "A more detailed statement is that Ranbu can know what the other party might do, but he wants to know the expression changes on the red-haired boy's face.

Morishia Yusen was aroused by Ranpo's mysterious attitude, so he said, "Okay, I don't care. Tell me about it."

"That red hair should follow the other person in the deck to the hotel within 5 minutes."

As an adult, Morishita Yusen was brought to an indescribable scene by Ranpo's words, but Ranpo's serious and immature face gave him a very sharp contrast.Morishita Yusen subconsciously judged that he should be wrong.

"The people in the booth are luring/abducting Hongmao." Ranbu didn't care about the expression on Senxia Yusen's face, and said with great interest, "It took about 10 minutes for us to enter the store, Hongmao arrived before us, but we kept on With the same posture and emotion, it means that he is in a state of "waiting". "

""wait"? "

"There is not much change in one's emotional state between 'nothing happened' and 'waiting for something to happen'.Because he has not received other external stimuli to make new reactions. "Ranbu said, "But if nothing happens, he doesn't need to be nervous, it can only be "waiting for something" to happen. "

Morishita Yusen nodded immediately.

"Then why do you need to wait? That's a lot. So at this time, it depends on the direction of Hongmao's gaze, and he keeps his gaze down all the time, which means that he is waiting for the other party to give him a response. That's very simple, he is just waiting. Others read your manuscript."

According to Ranpo, the boy's state is indeed like that of a newcomer writer who is waiting for the editor to reply when he submits a manuscript.

"The other party should be a well-known writer, so when Hongmao showed him his work, he was very nervous."

"Why a famous writer? Not an editor?"

"Would it take 10 minutes for the editor to read the manuscript?"

Editors and writers have different reading habits. After a brief reading of the text, the editor will re-read it carefully if it leaves a deep impression, and continue to consider issues such as writing and wording.They have many brilliant writers, but their goal is to have new creative ideas and a stable style of writing.

"Ordinary people don't choose writers they haven't heard of to submit. In addition, they choose to read manuscripts in tourist attractions instead of office streets, which shows that the writer has money and leisure, and he is accompanied by people to travel here. At that time, I met this Hongmao by chance. But Hongmao probably knew that he would come here, so he brought the manuscript to stop people. So the writer drove away the people who came with him, and brought him here alone. At least 20 minutes."

"This is a little bit of killing the other party's self-esteem and positive emotions. Looking at Hongmao's attitude, he must respect this person, which also means that he will feel that he is causing trouble for the other party. Especially when the other party spends so long giving it to him. Reading the article by himself, occupying his private time, and his own article has no bright spots at all, so he must be nervous and guilty now. If at this time, the other party reads the article, there are still bright spots in the article, and there are some things that can be improved place, but this environment is too noisy, how about going to the place where he lives now."

He stopped walking in disorder, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said, "Tell me, will he go?"

"He'll go." Morishia Yusen said, "It's a desperate move to stop someone from delivering the manuscript. If he is denied once first, and then given another chance, he will definitely be more willing to obey the other party's arrangement. What's more, He already has the guilt and lack of self-confidence you mentioned, so he has naturally been dominated by authority."

Generally, authors with a bit of moral conscience will not spend so long in front of a reader, deliberately letting the other party dry for 10 or [-] minutes.If it really doesn't work, just point it out; if you can't say it, you won't make the other party wait so long.It is obviously selfish to put pressure on the other party in this way and put the other party in a psychologically weak position.

Morishita Yusen felt more and more that this red-haired young man might be deceived, no matter whether the matter would really develop like that, it was the most appropriate way to intervene in this matter.With his wrist, no matter how big the writer is, he can solve this matter without tearing each other's faces.However, he was grabbed by the sleeve by Ranpo.Ranpo said, "You said 'leave it alone'. "

"..."

Luanbu guessed his own reaction from the beginning and said to leave it alone.But Senxia Yusen can't sit still now.

"It's really nothing to worry about."

At a glance, Luanbu could tell that although the person sitting in front of the other party was an introverted and gentle person, there was no doubt that the other party was a killer.So there is no need for them to interfere at all, and Luanbu really wants to know, if the other party knows that the writer is trying to cheat, what kind of expression will be shown on that slightly dull and quiet face, this is what Luanbu wants most. have witnessed.

However, there is no way for Luanbu to install a camera for the other party. In fact, the most he can do is follow the other party to the next room.It's a pity to think about it.So, in fact, we have to look into it carefully. Since eating pizza just now, staring at the red-haired boy in disorder is more of a regret.

If he can grasp the opponent's weakness and use his mind ability, everything he has experienced can be displayed in front of Ranpo.But Luanbu remembered Xia Youjie's warning again, so he had no choice but to put this thought behind him.

At this time, Morishita Yusen asked again: "Then you said that you can't tell the police, is it because the red-haired boy is voluntary?" Just as Morishita Yusen finished speaking, an imaginable picture appeared in his head, and he was so innocent in his heart youth feel uncomfortable. "It will only embarrass the boy in the end, right?"

"Oh, that's not true." Ranbu didn't expect Senxia Yusen to think so biasedly, and said, "He is a mafia, and if he meets the police, he may have to be arrested. If he encounters trouble, he will run away first Understand."

"Huh?" Yusen Mori didn't expect that there could be so many reversals in the event of a teenager submitting an article to a well-known writer, "How do you know he is a mafia?"

"I saw calluses on his hands. Although he didn't drink water, he stroked the cup to relieve his emotions a few times. Doesn't the water act as a lens in the cup? That's where I saw it."

"Is this what you read from the book?!"

How much professional knowledge reserve does this have?

"That's not true." Luanbu replied.

Morishita Yusen felt that if he kept asking, he might find that Ranpo was very good at speaking amazingly.Morishita Yusen felt that Ranpo might say "I've seen it before."

Luanbu paused and said: "My father is a very powerful policeman, he is good at using guns, and the position of his hand has a similar callus." The fingertip of one hand scratched to indicate the location of the cocoon.

When Senxia Yusen heard what Luanbu said, his heart softened inexplicably.

He had heard that Ranpo's parents had died very early.

"So, there is no need to worry." After Luanbu finished speaking, his head and shoulders shook together, very comfortable.

Senxia Yusen saw that Ranbu was so carefree, he laughed and said, "According to what you said, there is really nothing to worry about."

However, Ranbu didn't say anything at first, and he didn't want to talk, but after chatting with Yusen Mori, he felt that he couldn't close his chat box.

"However, after this incident is over, this red-haired man may not write and submit articles so easily."

That is true.

Originally, I came here with a nervous mood, but when I encountered this, I must have been disheartened.In addition, I have a special status, and the other party is a bigwig in the industry. In fact, the circle of the literary world is very small. If you look up and look down, if you are recognized by the other party, it will not be so easy to get along in the literary world.This confusion may not only be blocked by industry leaders, but also the society's colored glasses for special identities.

Although this is an equal society, it is not so simple to want everyone not to wear colored glasses.

It is estimated that the red-haired boy will not think about submitting articles for the time being.

Morishia Yusen sighed subconsciously, feeling a little powerless.Not only because of this person, but also because of all kinds of thinking caused by this person.But at this time, Ranbu stood up.

"?"

Next, Morishita Yusen's eyes caught Ranpo's movement of holding the water glass on the table, and his mind was full of "what is he going to do" swiping the screen.Could it be that he suddenly went over there and poured a glass of water on the other side?

Before Morishia Yusen could stop Ranbu, he saw that Ranbu went straight to the next table next to the booth of the red-haired boy and sat down.On the opposite side, a brown-haired boy between the age of a junior high school student and a high school student slowly raised his dark golden pupils, and stared at Ranbu expressionlessly.

Luanbu tapped on the table.

The young man stared at Luanbu's movements before looking up at Luanbu. His reaction was a little slow, like a page being loaded when the internet speed was not good—although there was a reaction, it just took longer than usual.

"Help me." Ranpo said naturally.

"who are you?"

The brown-haired boy asked calmly.Although he didn't show any unnecessary emotions, he was clearly repelling people thousands of miles away.

Senxia Yusen didn't get close, and he could feel the trouble that Luanbu caused the other party because of his abruptness, so he subconsciously held his forehead.

What the hell is Ranbu doing?

Just as he was about to walk over to carry Luanbu away, Senxia Yusen saw that Luanbu picked up a water glass and poured it towards the writer's seat.A familiar voice suddenly sounded.

"You brat, what the hell are you doing? Do you know who you are splashing on?"

When the other party was angry and stood up shaking the water on his body, Morishita Yumori saw his appearance - how could this just happen to be the senior Yamamoto Zuojiro?

Sure enough, he should come forward in time.

"In fact, he is the one I want to splash on." Ranbu pointed at the brown-haired boy.

Morishia Yusen suddenly wanted to pretend that he didn't know Ranpo, he had never seen such a clumsy lie.

Seeing that Sajiro Yamamoto's entire face was flushed with anger, Amori Morishita couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

Avoiding the eyes and ears of the supervisor, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who was wandering around, stared at Ranpo's fingers and fell silent: "..."

In the life of learning many skills, Ayanokouji also did not study many courses.

And acting is one of them.

After a long time, Ling Xiaolu said dryly: "Yes."

Morishita Yusen: "..."

This young man is too serious.

This kind of lie also cooperates.

As the saying goes, a mountain is higher than a mountain.At this time, a more real person also appeared.Oda Sakunosuke was confused by the chaotic situation. Hearing the voice of Ayanokōji coming down, he handed a tissue to Yamamoto, and said, "Sensei, please wipe it first. They didn't mean it." Then, it was serious Facing Luanbu and the others calmly, he said, "Please separate the occasions when you quarrel, it's easy to accidentally hurt others."

Sajiro Yamamoto: "..."

Morishita Yusen: "..."

The red-haired boy believed it.
