Yunyang Novelist Luanbu

67 - I won't lose again

Ranbu found that Xia Youjie didn't like the mafia leader very much.

When he first entered the door, the mafia leader had just shot a man who was begging for mercy on the ground, and the blood splashed from the eyes, as if the world had turned into a red and viscous world.Even if it's just for a moment, it's enough to leave an indelible impression.Although Xia Youjie didn't speak, Ranbu found that he was not happy.

The mafia leader saw Xia Youjie at first glance, and naturally noticed his cold expression, and deliberately wanted to talk to Xia Youjie, perhaps out of the intention of teasing him.

"I've seen a similar expression on the policeman." The leader looked at Xia Youjie with cloudy eyes, and said to Luanbu, "Couldn't Luanbu bring the real police here? The party is taboo."

Xia Youjie looked around coldly at the people with guns around him, but didn't respond. It doesn't make any sense to provoke them now.He can guarantee that he will escape unscathed, but it will inevitably cause trouble to Chaobu.

When Luanbu saw the leader's eyes, he knew that the leader had bad intentions for Xia Youjie.For the first time, Luanbu felt that the leader was really troublesome and annoying. He put his hands into his sleeves and said, "Old man, do you often have trembling hands and feet recently, and irregular heartbeat? Look at your fingernails are turning black. "

The leader's mind was suddenly seized by Ranbu's words, and he subconsciously raised his hands to watch.He who used to dominate Yokohama couldn't stand his old and weak appearance, so he never got used to looking at his wrinkled and spotted hands.Looking down now, the leader realized that each of his fingernails were purple-black in color, and his expression suddenly became disgusted.

"Am I poisoned?" A stern light flashed in the leader's eyes, as if he was about to drag Mori Ogai out and kill him now.

"You have a bad heart."

Luanbu has a characteristic that everyone envies - he is never afraid of vicious and vicious leaders, no matter what the leader does, Luanbu will not be moved, and he can still talk and laugh with the leader.Even Mori Ogai, who is closer to the leader, will sometimes restrain his hands in front of him.

In the eyes of others, they are easy to step on the leader's minefield. If they do it at random, it will make the leader find it novel and interesting.

"You should ask Uncle Meitou to give you diet therapy, and then prescribe some medicines that are good for the heart."

Anyone with a discerning eye knew that Luanbu was just diverting the leader's attention, so he specifically said such nonsense.However, the leader still insists on this trick.Therefore, the members of the port mafia are both admiring and worried about Luanpo. Of course, admiration goes without saying, and the worry is that he will accidentally capsize one day.

"Have you heard of Elizabeth Bathory, Countess of Hungary?" Ranbu searched his head for 100 short stories provided by Ayanokōji that could attract the attention of the leader, "Killed [-] girls in a few years, and used human blood to Eternal youth."

It is said that old people are like children, and the story of Ranbu once again aroused the curiosity of the leader.But Ranpo won't really tell hundreds of years old stories.And the leader is not interested in this gorgeous and weird story of the countess killing a young girl.

"We're going to tell a true story about the same as this countess."

What Ranpo told him this time was a true story from decades ago.

"The key character involved in the story is nicknamed "Urado".The reason for not naming names is mainly because it involves the secret stories of the families of some big figures in Tokyo. If the protagonist's surname and first name are mentioned, it would be too easy to guess. "

This story was told by Ayanokōji to Edogawa Ranpo.His father is a person in the political field, and he knows some details about that.

"About a few months ago, someone disappeared again in the old house under the name of Mr. Urado, so the housekeeper sent people to invite three well-known psionicist units, and at least ten people came. This problem comes Why, why did someone go missing and not go to the police, but to a psionicist?"

"Naturally because of the haunting. The disappearance of the person is related to the haunting."

Ranpo likes to play tricks, but the leader also likes to play tricks.

"That's right." Luanbu couldn't snap his fingers, he clapped his hands habitually, as a wake-up call.

He walked around behind the leader, and the leader's eyes naturally followed him. He took advantage of the spare time and waved Xia Youjie to leave the room first.Xia Youjie hesitated for a moment, and knew that it would be meaningless to argue with the leader here.

When he came out, Xia Youjie suddenly thought of Gojo Satoru saying that except for meeting the leader for the first time, Luanbu led people in and out, and Luanbu faced that weird old man alone the rest of the time.

Xia Youjie stood in front of the glass window, looking down at the ant-like crowd downstairs, lost in thought.Not only Gojo Satoru, but also the distance between Lian and Ranpo.

"The more we get along, the more I realize that Mr. Luanbu is an unexpected person."

When Xia Youjie turned his head, he saw a doctor in a white coat smiling at him.At that moment just now, Xia Youjie thought it was his own voice that was spoken out by him, but it turned out that the person came to strike up a conversation with him.

"Are you the Uncle Little Sister that Ranbu said?"

Xia Youjie stared at Mori Ogai's hairstyle, and the corner of Mori Ogai's mouth twitched immediately, but he quickly managed his expression and said, "Ranbu really likes to joke."

Xia Youjie felt that Luanbu was serious, not joking at all.

Mori Ogai continued the topic just now, and said: "Ranbu-kun is a rare person who is stable. He seems to be out of character, but he is surprisingly resilient in writing. He is not the number one sales in Japan this season. Novelist? But Ranpo-kun was not affected at all, instead actively looking for material to find inspiration, and even built a mystery novelist club."

"Ranbu is a person with ideals."

Xia Youjie found that he could understand Wutiao Wu's envy of Chaos.

When I have no ideals, but I am walking forward step by step, I will envy his fearless character of moving forward, and also envy his process of realizing his wishes through hard work.At that time, Wutiao Wu said that he would help him realize his ideals in disorder, and Xia Youjie wondered if Wutiao Wu was delayed by chaotic steps.

However, if I choose to be a conjurer, can I really devote myself to it like Ranpo?

"It sounds like you envy him." Mori Ogai looked at Xia Youjie's fox-like eyes and said with a smile, "Or, are you confused about your future now? Are you still a student?"

Seeing Sen Ogai walking in front of him, Xia Youjie consciously kept his distance, without too much change in his expression, and said, "Are you inquiring about me? Or do you want to inquire about Luanbu?"

Mori Ogai smiled and said, "Is it so obvious?"

Xia Youjie was noncommittal and said, "You hate the leader here, don't you?"

He saw the curse spirit on the leader just now.The curse spirit loomed on his chest. This kind of curse spirit was also called "heart-eating worm" because it resembled the insects that grow in the fruit.The curse spirit hatches as an adult on the host's heart. It is difficult to exorcise this kind of curse spirit, because it is difficult to find it, and secondly, it is also difficult to catch it from the body. Forcibly expelling it in the host's body, I am afraid it will hurt If the host's heart is dangerous, it may make the host unable to survive.

"If you ask the whole port mafia this question, I'm afraid no one can answer it." Mori Ogai shrugged and said, "And "like" is not so superficial.If you like someone, no matter how many unreasonable things the other person has done, you will like it too.vice versa.If you don't like it, no matter how many reasons you give, you still don't like it.Furthermore, it seems narrow to only use "like" to evaluate the feelings for a person. "

Ogai Mori said with a smile: "You remind me of one thing, the feeling that people learn at the beginning is probably "like".Because parents will say "do you like this thing", "do you like this teacher", "do you like father or mother" when their children are young, and children are instilled with the idea of ​​"like" when they are very young. kind of concept.So, when they grow up, the child has another idea, which is "dislike". "

"So, you're saying, am I like a kid asking that kind of question?"

It's the first time I've seen someone who used a long speech to turn a corner and say that he is childish.

"It's not the question you ask, but your behavior. What to say in what environment, this is the basic common sense to have. Although Luanbu is very nonsense most of the time, he knows how to measure better than you think. Did you find out about this?"

Xia Youjie was able to find out that if this person wanted to scold others, he could turn eighteen corners. It felt like he was praising others, but in fact he continued to say that he had no sense of proportion.If such a person walks on the street, he will think that he is a reserved and polite person, but this kind of person is indeed in the mafia, and I am afraid that he is not just a gentle scum.

Xia Youjie originally wanted to retort, but felt that he would be said to be "indiscreet and common sense" again, so he couldn't open his mouth for no reason.So, Xia Youjie changed the question: "I heard that Luanbu came to the port mafia for you to write? How much have you written?"

This sentence successfully made Mori Ogai stop talking.

Recently, Ranpo has fascinated the leader so much that he asked Mori Ogai to start writing some stories.Mori Ogai doesn't have to do anything right now, he just writes when he gets in front of the leader, because it would take too much inspiration to write a short story, so Mori Ogai simply wrote the novel "Dancing Girl".

Osamu Dazai relayed the conversation between Xia Youjie and Ranpo to Mori Ogai, and Mori Ogai got some inspiration from their words about "growth thoughts/judgments", and also had some new ideas, so he came here to talk with Xia alone. You Jie had a dialogue, wanting to take these ideas into shape.

Thinking about it now, did he put too much thought into writing the book?

"..."

Seeing that the eloquent person suddenly had nothing to say, Xia Youjie felt inexplicably refreshed.

When Mori Ogai paused, he knew that Xia Youjie was holding his life, and if he continued, Xia Youjie would continue to step on his painful feet, and maybe he would make himself very embarrassed instead.

So Mori Ogai put on the steady air of an adult and said: "Young man, I still have something to do, so let me give you a word." Regarding my own advances and retreats, or other people's affairs that have nothing to do with myself, I think I have the decisiveness. I am proud of it; in fact, this kind of decisiveness is manifested in good times, not in adversity." "

"You should have seen Ranpo's "Interrogation", the policeman A in it thinks he decides the life and death of others according to his own wishes, and does things based on his own ideas regardless of the consequences. This is not a wise approach." Mori Ogai Having made it obvious, said, "I don't think you're stupid, you know what I'm trying to say, don't you?"

They were talking about "writing a book" just now, so the meaning in Mori Ogai's words is to let Edogawa refrain from his behavior, don't always force himself to write a book, if he is not coerced by the leader, he will not Will spend time writing books.Afterwards, if he becomes the leader of the port mafia, Luanpo, an ignorant child, will be kicked out sooner or later.

However, Xia Youjie felt that it was Mori Ogai who warned the younger generation, so he nodded.Indeed, if he hadn't experienced the adversity of the "Astral Body Incident", Xia Youjie probably wouldn't have known that he was so insignificant, that he couldn't even save a person in the face of danger.

After seeing Mori Ogai leave, Xia Youjie turned his eyes to the distance again.

adversity.

Only by being strong can there be no adversity.

Now even Luanbu knew that he was weak, so he even made a deal with that magician killer, and asked for the ugly treasure of the magic spirit that belonged to the space system, so that he could store more magic tools.However, Xia Youjie intends to let Choubao accept more curse spirits.

won't lose.

I won't lose again.

No matter how much it costs, you will never lose again.

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Youjie saw Luanbu coming from behind the door.Before Xia Youjie's thoughtful expression was completely put away, he met Ranbu.Luanbu tilted his head, smiled, his face was full of sunshine.

"Why are you always smiling?" Xia Youjie didn't know why Luanbu was always so happy. "Are you that happy now?"

"Seeing you makes me happy."

He jumped past Xia Youjie with random steps.

"Oh oh oh, let me tell you, I just received good news - editor Morishita said that I found the new teacher Ren Taro I was interested in before! I can share it with you! Are you happy?"

"Mystery Fiction Club Member No.008."

"Who are your members?"

I won't talk about Luanbu, the smile on the corner of his mouth is both mischievous and full of childishness: "I won't tell you."

"It's a mystery again."

"Because I am the mystery itself."

The two red sleeves of Luanbu also flicked back and forth, like the wagging tail of a koi carp in a pond, both triumphant and proud.

Xia Youjie smiled helplessly.

An hour later, Luanpo and Xia Youjie arrived under the rented house of Mr. Xinming Ren Tailang. The first floor of the house was a second-hand bookstore, and the second floor was their rented house.This house was originally given by Xinming Rentaro's parents, but because Xinming Rentaro wrote books and couldn't make ends meet, in order to maintain his life, he mortgaged the house, and now the house is only for them to live in.

As soon as Xia Youjie opened the door, he saw a black figure in an old bookstore like a snake that was afraid of light.

Xia Youjie's eyes sank for an instant.

It's Xiao Hei...
