Yunyang Novelist Luanbu

For Ranpo, today is the time to make an appointment with Sakunosuke Oda at the ancient bookstore in Yokohama.

As for the matter of the Qing Xueguan New Talent Award, Ranpo felt that it was dispensable, and it meant nothing to him at all.The existence of the so-called awards, in addition to recognition is the role of encouragement, but Luanbu is no longer a newcomer who needs external recognition and encouragement.

Luanbu is currently in the laundry room waiting for his clothes to dry before going out.Next to him was Fu Heisher waiting with him, and Fu Heisher would help him iron his clothes after a while.

The reason why Fuheshier appeared here is very simple.

Because of Luanbu, he made a call to Fuhei's house, told Jin Meiji who answered the phone to turn on the speakerphone, and then began to read Fuheisher's email to Zenyuan Hui's mother, and the fluctuations every time we got along. Mental activity.After Fu Heisher unplugged the phone line expressionlessly in front of the two melon-eaters, he came to Chagao to find Ranbu, and agreed to let him do two things before Ranbu.

"The racecourse starts at ten o'clock today, and we'll go out after changing clothes." Fu Heisher still remembered that Luanbu said last night that he would win a first prize for him.

"Go to Yokohama today." Luanpo, who was thinking about the plot of "Interrogation" and turning his pen, said incredulously.

Fu Heisher thought that Luanbu probably held a grudge, and did not refute it, saying: "When are you going to let me go?"

Luanbu looked up at Fu Heisher, and said, "You said the day before yesterday and yesterday that you wanted to be friends with me."

"Don't you know I'm lying to you?" Fu Heisher completely put away his business mask.

"I know." Luanbu's spinning pen just reached a stuck point, and stopped at Luanbu's tiger's mouth, Luanbu continued, "But it's fun."

This is probably the kind of bad taste of "I like to see you and can't stand me, but I have to cooperate".

Fu Heisher really thinks that Luanbu is just a child who doesn't know how to do things. He doesn't know what he wants to do at all, or he wants to do too many things, and they are concentrated together, so it always makes people uncomfortable. It is clear whether he still remembers what he is going to do.One word sums it up is "unorganized".

Ranbu said, "I know what I'm going to do."

"..." Fu Heisher suspected that Luanbu had mind reading skills.

"I'm building my "Phantom City"*, just listen to me. "Ranbu stared at his pen, and his right thumb and index finger exerted force in different directions at the same time. The signature pen was like a bamboo dragonfly soaring. The pen regained control and was easily in the hand. "When I don't need you, it's when you lose money. "

Fu Heisher has nothing to say about him, and now he can't get rid of his chaotic steps. With his hands on his waist, he turned his head to look outside the door, as if there was someone standing outside the door, but it was not. What he saw at a glance was another representative outside the room. "world".

"Do those students also know what you are doing?"

When Fu Heisher came over, he saw Ranbu standing with the students, but from his outsider's point of view, Ranbu didn't fit in with them.But I can't tell, what's the difference between Luanbu and them.Maybe it's because they don't see Ranpo's sense of belonging to this place. Others can see that they are the students of Curse High, the pillars of the future magic world, but Ranpo, who is wearing the same school uniform, looks like a spectator.

"I know." Luanbu continued to spin his pen and said, "They know I'm writing a novel."

"So, "Phantom City" is a fictional world in your head? "Fu Heisher just thought for a moment that Luanbu really wanted to create a real world, but it turned out to be writing a novel. It felt like a force from heaven to earth. But why does the novelist keep pestering himself? ? Or do you just want to toss yourself?

"Of course it's true."

Ranpo knew what he was going to do from the very beginning when he came into this world. He likes mystery novels, detective novels, and crime novels, so he wants to let the world know this and set off a series of mystery novels, detective novels and crime novels. Fiction frenzy.

That is his "Phantom City".

Of course, he can't be the only one writing this phantom city, he has to gather a bunch of people, a bunch of writers to write together.Every brick and tile of the city wall needs to be constructed with a lot of words, and he alone cannot complete it.

Seeing that Fu Heisher didn't answer anymore, Luanbu lowered his eyes and said, "You won't understand anyway, it's useless to talk about it."

Fu Heisher felt that Luanbu had found the wrong chat partner.He is not the kind of person who will listen patiently to what he has to say, try to understand even if he doesn't understand, and then say "I understand".In other words, maybe no one in this world fully understands the idea of ​​chaos.Love never equals understanding.According to Fuheshier's observation, many people actually like to walk in disorder, but they don't necessarily understand him.

Therefore, Luanbu is lonely.

So what if he found this out, Fuheshier just watched and didn't move.Most people are like this, or in other words, the world of adults has long since lost the justice and enthusiasm of teenagers, and the temperature of emotion and humanity has long passed the "overheating period".

At this time, the sound of the dryer had already sounded, and he didn't move in disorder, but looked up at Fu Heisher.Fuheshier walked to the washing machine by himself, and from the corner of his vision, he caught a glimpse of the astral body looking around the laundry room.This is the same as other students. When they see themselves, their first reaction is "threat".

People who think that people in this world are either black or white are indeed children.

Fu Heisher didn't bother to pay attention to her, and threw the clothes directly on Luanbu's face: "Hurry up and change. The time of adults is not for spending time with children. If you have anything to say, hurry up, do it quickly, and finish quickly. Hurry up to Yokohama."

Luanbu held the clothes in his hands, and after standing up from the side of the waiting chair, he heard the sound of "da da da" footsteps running away in the corridor, followed the sound with his eyes, and Fu Heisher said: "The astral body is here to watch the fun."

"I know."

"...you know you still watch it?"

"Jie might want to take her to Yokohama." Ranpo went to Oda's place this time, and actually wanted to go with Xia Youjie, but Xia Youjie also cared about the astral body.Fearing that she would be bored, Xia Youjie proposed to let the astral body go to Yokohama, and the astral body came here to see the chaos.If the atmosphere is not in harmony or if Ranpo hates himself, the astral body probably won't go to Yokohama.That girl looks carefree, very neat and lively, but in fact she is sensitive and cautious in nature.

Ranpo actually didn't feel anything for her.

Her positioning is "the person who causes trouble for Jie".

Now that the incident is over, Ranpo doesn't care about her existence at all.

Fu Heisher found it novel: "It's only been a day since the astral body assimilation failed, can Riko Tennai come out for a stroll like this casually? Your mantras are really high-skilled and bold."

"I found a new substitute." On the day of assimilation, Luanbu knew that Jie and the others were going to let go of the astral body, so he told the uncle about the new substitute position and asked them to find it, and said, "Otherwise, she wouldn't wander around casually. The uncle now sees that she also has spell power, and asks her if she has no place to live, she can just be a student in Curse High, with food and housing included, and she will also be paid to go to school and go to work in the future."

Fu Heisher's mouth curled into an inexplicable smile: "You should be a charity. I'll find a chance to throw in the two little beanbags in the house."

"Everyone is a good person, it doesn't look like you are a bad person who doesn't even care about children." Luanbu said.

"It's so easy to be a wicked person. Whatever bad things you do, you'll be upright. It's not like a good person who has to be cautious all day long, afraid that he will tarnish his name by doing something bad. It's so tiring."

"Do you know what the worst thing for a villain is?"

"..."

"They must take it 'as it is' even when they are punished that is not theirs.Good people can be forgiven, bad people can't.Therefore, if a wicked person wants to be free, he must not be caught all his life, and he must be stronger than anyone else.It's not that easy to be a villain. Luanbu raised his eyes and said, "Compared to Lingxiaolu, you are just an ordinary person." "

Only at this time did Fu Heisher realize that Ranbu had turned his attack target on Ling Xiaolu.In fact, he has lost interest in Fuheshier, but is taking the matter of Ayanokoji seriously.

"Is the Yokohama address you gave me the place where Ayanokouji lives?"

"Yes." Luanbu said firmly.

"Do you want to lure that old writer to Ayanokouji? I went back and checked, and the old writer also attacked minors, so are you going to let Ayanokouji deal with the old writer?"

Luanbu paused, looked at Fuheshier strangely and said, "I will keep that Shanben useful, if it is destroyed, I will lose more than I gain?"

What is the purpose of Ranpo's two things of asking Fu Heisher to "pimp" and "finding Ayanokoji's house"?

"It's not time yet, I'll tell you when the time comes." When Luanbu received Fu Heisher's completely distrustful gaze, he said, "It's not dangerous. It's just running errands. If you perform well this time, you want Do you want [-] yen directly, or [-]% of my income from selling books? But I will have to wait at least a month later, and I will publish "Two Cents" in Qingxuekan today. They said that after the results of the Naoki Award come out, Get me a booklet again, and then I will have money."

Seeing Luanbu swearing by Fu Heisher, he was a little moved by the latter.

Ranpo's articles are original, and Japanese book royalties are 8~14%.That is to say, if the book of Ranpo costs 1000 yen a book, it only needs to sell more than 1 copies, and Fuheshier's revenue will be at least [-].If it wins, at least tens of thousands of copies will be printed.

"I heard that your work can be awarded some Naoki Award?"

"Ah, it shouldn't work." Luanbu said leisurely.

Fu Heisher tilted his head, not quite understanding.

The time for Naoki Prize to announce the result should not have come yet, right?

How did Edogawa Ranpo know?

Ranpo said: "The Naoki Prize submission instructions say that "one person cannot submit multiple papers". "

"Isn't this common sense? Besides, don't you only have one?" Fu Heisher felt that he had caught something, and felt that something was wrong.

"I also used the names of three people in "Mirror Hell", "Red Room" and "The Man Traveling with Stickers" to the literary agency."

The last book "Traveling with Stickers" was Xia Youjie's re-adaptation of the manuscript that Wujo Wu picked up. I have a hunch that if it is published at that time, Wujo Wu will definitely understand-that is the real story from the beach. The period at the end of a quarrel event.

"The contact numbers are uncle's, Kudo-sensei's, and yours. They will say that I wrote it. Then the matter of my multiple manuscripts will be exposed, or it will be exposed. Can’t you win an award? If you can’t follow the rules, you will be rejected, isn’t it normal?”

As soon as the voice fell, Fu Heisher took a breath, this is the guy who is testing the rules and playing with the rules!

"Why do you have to?"

Luanbu smiled and said, "Because I think it's fun."

"I hope that group of censors won't stick to the old rules..."

"I don't care. I feel like there will be a good show. I'm very happy just thinking about it."

Ranbu looked extremely happy.
