Yunyang Novelist Luanbu

Ancient Book Street.

Walking wildly from a distance, I saw Oda Sakunosuke and Ayanokōji Kiyotaka standing together, like quiet plants, naturally blending into the background of the crowd, no one cared about their attire.Ranpo also found that Ayanokoji was wearing the clothes that appeared for the first time again, and the answer to Ayanokoji in his heart became more and more formed.

As soon as Ranpo ran over, he saw Oda Sakunosuke holding Seigakukan's "Inference Chronicle" and handing it to Ranpo, on which Ranpo's pen name "Komatsu Ryunosuke" was written.

"Congratulations, winner of the Seigakukan Newcomer's Literature Award. Ayanokōji-kun and I have finished reading it here. It's very good."

Compared with Oda's voice which had an upward arc, Ayanokoji said "Congratulations" straight.

Luanbu took out the signature pen from his pocket, and said happily: "Tell me, where do you want to sign?"

Oda Sakunosuke directly handed the "Two Cents" on the first page of the magazine to Ranpo, but Ayanokōji didn't seem interested in signing it.His situation is special, and if he takes more things from the outside world, he needs to spend more time hiding them. It took him some time to think about how to deal with the fact that Sakunosuke Oda gave him a copy of "Inference Chronicle".

Luanbu didn't care about it, and signed for Ling Xiaolu directly: "You are not allowed to throw it away."

Ayanokōji found that Ranpo would always use imperative sentences when dealing with him, and he didn't know how much he knew about him.Anyway, Ayanokouji silently accepted.

Seeing that Ranpo was signing, Oda Sakunosuke glanced at the three boys and girls not far behind Ranpo. They were all the type with outstanding looks who would be accosted when walking on the road.But he didn't put too much doubt on it. It wasn't until the three of them walked in front of him that Oda Sakunosuke realized it, looked at Ranpo and asked, "Are they your friends?"

Ranpo is puzzled that the relationship between people is only defined within the narrow scope of "family", "friend" and "lover". There are so many relationships between people in this world, because it seems It's not like family and lovers, so it's friends?

"They are here to help find someone," Luanbu said.

"Who are you looking for?" Oda Sakunosuke asked without knowing why.

"Of course it's the author of your novel "Light and Darkness." Ranpo's Phantom City project needs a lot of writers: Yusaku Kudo has been included, Sakunosuke Oda has been included, and the new name Ren Taro is also included. , and "Natsume Soseki", the author of "Light and Darkness" mentioned by Sakunosuke Oda.

Ranpo checked some information about "Natsume Soseki" by himself, and asked Ayanokōji to collect some information.

The place where this gentleman was active before was in Yokohama. His clothes are very special, but no one has heard of him in recent years.Well, unless he deliberately appeared in front of people as a gentleman wearing a mustache and holding a civilized stick, he must have other ways to hide himself, and he appeared next to Oda Sakunosuke again and again to guide him, It shows that this gentleman is very enthusiastic. In addition, he knows that Oda Sakunosuke's method is also very special.

Oda Sakunosuke has never been exposed to any literature before, and his personality is dull and withdrawn. How can such a person attract Natsume Soseki's attention, and make Natsume Soseki spend his time helping and guiding Oda.The answer is simple, if it wasn't that Oda Sakunosuke caught Natsume Soseki's attention by accident, or Oda Sakunosuke had contacted some people, and those people were related to Natsume Soseki, so Natsume Soseki took the initiative to contact Oda Sakunosuke.

"I want to meet him." Luanbu said with a smile.

Ranbu's wish is as straightforward as a child's, but it also faintly reveals the power of "it will definitely come true".

"There are six of us, and we can be divided into three groups." Ranpo was ready, and said, "I guess there are two directions to his hiding place. First, he has "supernatural power", which can It allows him to easily hide in certain places and observe the changes in the entire city without interfering with the city.Then he may have turned into a bird flying in the sky, or he may have turned into a cat running on the ground.This requires two groups of people to walk separately, one walks in the most chaotic neighborhoods in the city, and the other walks in places where the city's literary district is richer. "

If you walk randomly, there is too much information in it.

First, "supernatural power" is a term that only a few people will come into contact with, just like a magician, only a few people know its existence.Second, although the direction of what Luanpo said is very clear, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack after careful consideration.

So just after finishing a paragraph, Gojo Satoru interrupted Ranpo's words: ""Different abilities"?You mean superpowers? "Actually, Gojo Satoshi wanted to ask if it was some kind of spell, but he felt that he would expose himself, so he asked uncertainly.

"It's not a spell, it's a supernatural power possessed by an extraordinary person." Ranpo said confidently, "I know it, and Oda knows it too."

Gojo Satoru found that he always guessed what he wanted to say easily when talking in random steps recently, and continued to speak. He didn't know if it was accidental, or he had that special spirituality as a novelist. When talking to others, he could predict the other's behavior idea.But this kind of mysterious thing can't be explained.So Gojo Satoru looked at the red-haired Sakunosuke Oda just like everyone else.

When Oda saw Cue, he didn't know whether he should say it or not. There is indeed a group of people with unnatural powers, that is to say, supernatural powers.He is one of them. He possesses the ability to predict the danger that he will encounter at the moment of life and death. Even if it is only five seconds, as the former killer of Oda, this is enough to be invincible.Regarding the supernatural beings, Oda only knows that the number of these people is relatively small, and the government has established relevant organizations to manage them.

Oda hesitated for a while, and then said openly: "There are indeed people with supernatural powers. In my organization, there is a foreigner named Lan Tang who has supernatural powers. There is also a veteran member, Hirotsu Liulang It’s also a supernatural being.”

"Foreigners?"

When Ranbu heard this word, he subconsciously paid attention to it.

Although Yokohama is Japan's first commercial port city that opened up to the outside world, it retains more foreigners, but a local black force will absorb foreigners, or what is the reason why foreigners enter the local power, which makes Luanbu very curious.

"So, it's the ability to turn into a cat or a bird, or an animal that can move around the city flexibly?" Xia Youjie saw that Oda Sakunosuke didn't seem to want to say it too clearly, and thought of this supernatural person and them Conjurers are almost the same, they are equivalent to characters in urban legends, so it is not suitable to discuss too much.

Luanpo did not have their own sense of protection in their own field, and continued: "The second direction, I found out that Natsume Soseki used to have a student, and now he opened an armed detective agency in Yokohama that cooperates with the military and police. They went to inquire about the situation." This is a very targeted location, unlike the previous one that had to be searched blindly.

Clapping at random steps cheered up everyone again, and said: "Jie and I are in a group, Shiromao is in a group with Astral Body, and Oda is in a group with Ayanokōji."

"Call your name." Xia Youjie corrected.

Luanbu's cheeks puffed up a bit, and then he reluctantly said: "Wu, Wutiao is in a group with girls." As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately said to Xia Youjie: "Then... that Wutiao is not allowed to call me "short" again. legs cat". "

Gojo Satoru felt that Luanbu was so funny, and said, "Then I don't know. Just obediently call my name first, and I'll work harder."

"Look!" Ranbu was very dissatisfied with Gojo Wu's words.

Xia Youjie was tired of the fighting spirit of the two of them, and rubbed Luanbu's head casually.Ranbu stood next to Xia Youjie, exposed the matter, and continued: "Ling Xiaolu and I can both identify people with supernatural powers, so let the rest go to the Armed Detective Agency."

As soon as the words were said, Ling Xiaolu subconsciously glanced at Ranbu, then scanned around and found that no one had a special reaction to Ranbu's words.So he stood silently.

Gojo Satoru responded, and said, "Just ask if you know where Natsume Soseki is, right? Give me the address of the Armed Detective Agency."

"I didn't." Luanbu patted his pocket, "You have to ask yourself."

"..."

Shouldn't this basic point be investigated as well?

Gojo Satoru suspects that Ranpo did it on purpose.

The soldiers are divided into three groups.

I went to the Armed Detective Agency for information.

Find a suitable target object in the ancient book street.

And to the slums of Yokohama.

The random step group went to the slums in Yokohama - Leibo Street.

It is said that this Leibo Street collapsed due to a certain accident a few years ago, and the entire ground was in a hemispherical depression. However, because the government did not manage and repair it, it became a gathering area for refugees, and the infrastructure was very poor. Even the steps are steep and narrow.

Luanbu just looked at the nearly vertical stairs that kept going down, as if he was watching rock climbing, unable to get off.Xia Youjie took a look around. It was the first time he came here, and he didn't know which way would be easier to walk, so he grabbed Luanbu's arm and walked up the stairs step by step, like helping an old man who is walking unsteadily.Luanbu simply put his hands on Xia Youjie's arm and asked him to take it away.In case of an accident, Xia Youjie can lift him up at any time to prevent falling.

Xia Youjie found that if he became familiar with Ranbu, he would find him a bit clingy.This ordinary boy would not take it for granted to hold the arms of his peers of the same sex.But this kind of stickiness is also just right, and he won't cling to people regardless of the time.Moreover, Xia Youjie benefited from the fact that Luanbu was only more obedient to himself.

"It looks quite big here. We may not have finished walking around yet, and it's time to assemble."

"There are the most rumors here. There should be some people hiding. There is no harm in walking around."

"Not just looking for cats or birds, did you come here to collect materials?"

Xia Youjie felt that this was the only thing that could motivate Luanbu to walk outside.

Luanbu "hehehe" laughed straight: "It's almost there."

Xia Youjie tilted his head, and didn't care too much, and said, "What if I can't find that writer?"

"No, either I was found, or I found him." Ranbu said seriously, "That person must still be around Oda. Since he can find Oda several times to show him, I think he should It’s not enough to completely free Oda, Natsume Soseki is still paying attention to him. If he knows that someone is looking for him, he will definitely react.”

"That is to say, do you think he will come to you, or directly to Oda? Is it necessary for Satoru to go to the Armed Detective Agency?"

"The more information, the better." Luanbu raised his chin and said.

Not long after they descended the steps, a group of strange teenagers surrounded the two of them with "hula la" like hunters waiting for their prey to enter the net.

"It's rare to come to our Leibo Street, why don't you two leave something behind?"

Ranbu saw the leader, the silver-haired boy standing in front of him, with a blue leather ring on his hand like the other boys—it should belong to an organization.

Xia Youjie is now 1.9 meters tall among teenagers, and he can see all the mountains at a glance. He said to Luanbu: "To be honest, this is the first time I have been robbed when I grow up. I have no experience, and I am not sure about my method." Is it suitable, but you may see blood, please close your eyes first."

Ranbu immediately obediently covered his eyes with both hands, and then heard screams of pain one after another.

The one who screamed the most was the silver-haired boy who was about to rob: "We are members of the "Sheep", don't you think that, our leaders will easily let you go? "

"Why won't you let me go?" Luanbu let go of his hands covering his eyes, tilted his head and said, "All of you will be my hostages."

The silver-haired boy who was beaten by Xia Youjie and lying on the ground looked up at Luanbu and squatted down, facing himself with a pure and innocent expression: "If he takes revenge on us once, I'll take off one of your arms, take revenge twice, we Just get rid of two people. I think there are nine people here, and he can probably get revenge 36 times. It depends on his ability to resist pressure, or is his vitality stronger than yours?"

Xia Youjie didn't know how Luanbu learned these scary words, so he folded his arms and laughed.

At this time, Luanbu heard the sound of "da da da" footsteps running away, Xia Youjie also looked vigilantly in the direction of the child running away.

"Chasing?" Xia Youjie saw that the child was only about ten years old.He would not hit hard on the young ones, as long as they showed timidity and hid aside, Xia Youjie didn't care.As a result, one ran now.

Luanbu didn't raise his head: "Don't chase."

The silver-haired boy smiled slantingly: "Then you all wait to die. He came to find Zhongye."

Luanbu found that this person was completely ignorant of the situation, his life was in his own hands, and he was able to provoke others like this, he was really used to being domineering, thinking that no one would hurt him, right?

Luanbu tilted his head.

To be honest, the fact that these people can call the leader by name directly means that they have a good relationship with the leader of their organization, and they can also know that the core of their organization lies in "giri".As long as there are hostages, the man named Zhong Ye will definitely not move them in the slightest.

"I knew he would run away, just waiting for your leader to come over. I just need someone to lead the way here." Luan Bu looked at Xia Youjie, who was suppressing other people with a spell, and asked, "Is it?"

"Ah."

Xia Youjie squinted his eyes and smiled at Luanbu, walked up to the silver-haired boy, and said condescendingly: "This person is not only rude, but also likes to stir up people's hearts. When their leader comes over, he will definitely shout Let’s make him shut up first.”

Although Xia Youjie was speaking in a consulting tone, when he finished speaking, he kicked the other party unconscious.

Luanbu only saw his eyes turn white, and he fainted in an instant, and said in surprise, "You are so amazing."

This force did not kill anyone, just passed out.That shows that the grasp is extremely precise, either it is talent, or it means that he has done similar things many times.

"a piece of cake."
