My vest is beautiful

Shi Wu began to like Fukuzawa Yukichi a little bit.

Although the aura and other things on his body made him feel a little uncomfortable, subconsciously he would be vigilant and defensive - but Shiwu knew very clearly that this was just an indelible trace of Fukuzawa Yukichi's practice of swordsmanship since he was a child.

What Fukuzawa Yukichi practiced was never "the way of the sword", but the "swordsmanship" of killing people.

But it's still the same old saying, whether Fukuzawa Yukichi killed someone or not, it has nothing to do with Shi Wu.

"Your relationship with the president has become better." Edogawa Ranpo was the first to notice this.

But he was the one who mentioned it in the first place, Edogawa Ranpo didn't pay much attention to this aspect, he just said instead: "By the way, regarding your commission, the president has found a way."

Entrust?Shi Wu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this commission refers to the matter of "recovering memory" that he commissioned more than a week ago.

It's just that he himself didn't pay much attention to this point. This period of time passed so peacefully and easily, and he didn't pretend to have anything in his brain, so he almost didn't think about it now.

"Ah... supernatural power?" Shi Wu subconsciously asked.

Although he hadn't thought about it much, the vest's brain was too cheating, and this level was not considered reasoning at all.

"Well, it's a special power user?" Edogawa Ranpo nodded, "The president still has a few favors with the government, so it's not a big deal to find a special power user related to memory. Difficult things."

For example, Ango Sakaguchi of the Supernatural Secret Service Division, his ability can read the memory left on the item. This ability is most suitable for collecting information.

This type of non-aggressive special ability user is a very precious resource of the government - no, to be precise, the ability user itself is already a precious and special existence.

Because of his past work relationship, Fukuzawa Yukichi himself left the title of "Silver Wolf" there.Later, he took Luanbu to solve tens of thousands of cases for the police, most of which were old unsolved and suspicious cases.Coupled with the particularity of the Armed Detective Agency, he still has a lot of face in front of those so-called "big shots".

So this time, Fukuzawa Yukichi also found a person with supernatural powers who might be able to help Shi Wu "retrieve his memory" through this relationship.

Of course, Fukuzawa Yukichi did not mention this matter until he was sure whether it could be found.Timeless and invisible, I hadn't noticed where Fukuzawa Yukichi had been before, so naturally I didn't know about it.

Now that I know it, Shi Wubian showed a cute smile: "Then I really want to thank Uncle Fuzawa."

"Well, your name is Uncle President." Edogawa Ranpo looked at this face that was exactly the same as his own, and he couldn't tell his age at all, and there seemed to be some exclamation in his tone: "Listening to you shouting like that, I feel like I have returned to the Same as ten years ago."

"I, when I first met the president, I called him that too!"

"Because it looks closer this way." Shi Wu nodded in agreement.

But the words of those with supernatural abilities... Shi Wu asked in his heart to the system that hadn't spoken for a week: [Will it matter? 】

【Don't worry. ] The system replied in this way.

——It's still a second.

After getting the answer, Shi Wu didn't care even more.

Shi Wu's sense of time is not very sensitive, and it has a lot to do with the fact that the whole day passes when he is in a daze.

When there is no time to recover, the detective agency is ready to receive guests.

I don't know if they are concerned about Shi Wu's lost memory, or simply curious about the identity of the visitor, everyone stays in the detective agency.

There was a polite knock on the door, Junichiro Tanizaki stood up and opened the door, leading a silver-haired young man (or boy?) in.

His silver hair is different from Atsushi Nakajima and Yukichi Fukuzawa. Compared with pure silver, it seems to be softer, with a warm gray tone, and the hair is soft and slightly curled.

"I'm really honored to hear that 'Mr. Silver Wolf' asked me for something." His voice was clear and light like a young man's, and the color of his eyes was similar to that of his hair, but darker. It does look a bit light brown.

"My name is Ishikawa Woodpecker, just call me Ishikawa." The man who called himself Ishikawa Woodpecker said with a smile, his eyes were not sharp at all, they were soft and innocent like rabbits.

Ishikawa Woodpecker was led by Tanizaki Junichiro to sit on the sofa, and when Tanizaki Naomi poured him a cup of black tea, he thanked him with that warm smile.

"I already got the general information from Mr. Fukuzawa." Ishikawa Woodpecker is a fairly direct person—at least that's what he is showing now, "My ability is called "Sand of One Hand", which can hold Human memory is read out in the form of photos. "

"Of course there are disadvantages. If I use it on people who have lost their memory, what memory I will read is uncertain."

Ishikawa Woodpecker's temperament is soft and gentle, completely unable to bring a sense of threat to people, but the words spoken in his mouth are not gentle, he said: "I will follow the previous agreement, and I will not tell you what I saw today. Get out. On the contrary, if something unexpected happens, please bear the consequences."

"If we can accept this, we can start now." Ishikawa Woodpecker held up the cup of black tea with a smile.

"So that's how it is." Ranpo Edogawa had already put on his glasses at some point, and those sharp green eyes were like surgical instruments, coldly seeing through what Ishikawa Takuboku's ability represented.

Such things as supernatural powers are actually extraordinarily special.Unlike those kingly comics, where the protagonist grows from weak to strong slowly, most people have supernatural powers that have reached their apex from the very beginning.

What needs to be practiced afterwards is nothing more than the method and proficiency of using the supernatural ability, and develop new ways of using the single supernatural ability in various directions.

Take Tanizaki Junichiro's "Miyuki" as an example. When he first awakened his supernatural powers, he would only turn everything around him into an illusion—but after slowly exploring the usage of "Miyuki", he could During the battle, he erased his own existence and transformed into another self to attract the attention of the enemy, and then stab the enemy in the back.

These are all exercises for the proficiency of abilities.

Similarly, different abilities have their own limitations.For example, the invalidation of Osamu Dazai requires physical contact, and the objects created by Kunikida Doppo cannot be larger than his own book-Ishikawa Takuboku's supernatural ability also has its own uncertainty.

Edogawa Ranpo judged that Ishikawa Woodpecker was telling the truth, but he just avoided the key points, and the part he didn't say was the most critical and terrifying part of his supernatural ability.

The smile on Ishikawa Woodpecker's face never disappeared: "So, should we start now?"

"Okay." Before Edogawa Ranpo or Fukuzawa Yukichi could speak, Tokimo raised his hand, "I'm quite curious about what you can read."

"Then let's start." Edogawa Ranpo sat on the other side with his arms folded, and he didn't refute. Although Ishikawa Woodpecker said in a dangerous direction, in fact, Ishikawa Woodpecker had no reason to hurt the members of the detective agency.Especially this time, it is the other party repaying the favor of others.

Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help complaining: "Is the salary of the Supernatural Secret Service Division very low? Why do you owe so much money?"

Ishikawa Woodpecker blinked and said innocently: "Haha, so after this part-time job is over, I can write off the money I borrowed from him~"

"So Mr. Fukuzawa's face is really big, it's super cost-effective!"

Edogawa ranpo snorted, but still watched Ishikawa Takuboku's movements seriously.

Ishikawa Woodpecker's expression became serious, he stood up, walked in front of Shi Wu, raised his right hand slightly, and the wind brought by the use of different abilities surrounded him and Shi Wu, he said softly: "Odd Ability - "Sand in One Hand"! "

The golden sand overflowed from the sides of the two, circled his body a few times, and slowly flew towards his hand, turning into an old photo that hadn't yet formed.

The golden fine sand fell on the photo, like a dusty photo album. Ishikawa Woodpecker shook the photo in his hand, and the golden debris fell from the air and slowly dissipated.

Under the sunlight outside the window, the silver-gray man's mouth was slightly curled up, holding an old photo in his hand, the black-haired detective in front of him raised his head slightly, his beautiful eyes like glass balls were looking at him out of focus.With the fine golden sand slowly dissipating into the air around them, it's hard to deny the beauty of the image.

When he saw the image on the photo, Ishikawa Woodpecker raised his eyebrows: "What, you have lost your memory quite thoroughly."

Following his words, Ishikawa Woodpecker turned the photo over and placed it in front of everyone.

The moment they saw the image above, everyone was stunned.

——Through Ishikawa Woodpecker's introduction to his abilities, they imagined any situation they would see in the photos. The memories inside may be happy or sad.

But the only thing they didn't expect was that they couldn't see anything.

On that old photo made of supernatural powers, there was nothing but darkness.

But even if there is only such a color, I don't know if it is a special case of Ishikawa Woodpecker's special ability-it is obviously nothing, but the black that catches the eye is full of a kind of dead silence that makes people lose their breath.

It's almost like the color of death.

He couldn't see it all the time, and he couldn't understand the quiet reaction of others, showing a kind of childlike childishness at this moment.

Ishikawa Woodpecker seemed to see something interesting, he smiled and said, "How about it again?"

The author has something to say:

Shi Wu: Okay.

ps: Ishikawa Woodpecker, the appearance refers to the appearance of "Woodpecker Detective Agency", but the personality is not.

Ishikawa Woodpecker (1886-1912), whose real name was Ishikawaichi, was called a "child prodigy" when he was young, but he suffered miserable setbacks in his later life, and died young at the age of 26.Ishikawa Woodpecker is good at writing traditional tanka, and his collection of songs ushered in a new era of Japanese tanka, mostly only three lines.His works include short song collection "Sand in One Hand" and "Sorrowful Toy", poetry collection "Whistle and Whistle", and novels "Hospital Window" and "Bird Shadow".
