My vest is beautiful

Ishikawa Woodpecker pulled his friend and talked a lot, not only what happened today, the order of the words was reversed, but also the commissions he had solved in the past.

He knew that Kyosuke Kindaichi couldn't understand, and even he himself didn't know what he said under the hypnosis of alcohol.

Kyosuke Kindaichi was a very serious and serious person, even if he couldn't understand, he still understood his friend's mood at the moment, so he sat on the side very considerately and never stopped Ishikawa Woodpecker.

Even if Ishikawa Woodpecker took him to do some random and out-of-the-ordinary things, Kyosuke Kindaichi never really refused.

"Actually, I don't quite understand what you mean, but I seem to understand a little bit." Kyosuke Kaneda Kazu poured a glass of sake for Ishikawa Woodpecker, his voice was very soft, even so, the drunk man in front of him still struggled to focus on him body.

Kyosuke Kindaichi just acted as a middleman, and he didn't know more specific things.So he just followed Ishikawa Woodpecker's words to understand: "Although you are liar and naughty, pretentious, talkative and a little vain..."

Ishikawa Woodpecker: "..."

I'm just drunk, not amnesia!So you are so dissatisfied with me!

Probably because Ishikawa Woodpecker's eyes of condemnation were too obvious, Kindaichi Kyosuke coughed lightly, and changed the tone: "However, you are also a genius detective with foresight."

Maybe this is unbelievable, but Ishikawa Woodpecker is indeed a detective, and he once pulled him to set up a club called "Woodpecker Detective Agency"-well, from then to now, there are only the two of them as members.

"Your worries have never been unfounded. But your powers really don't have any lethal power." Kyosuke Kindaichi knew of the danger of Ishikawa Takuboku's powers, but there was no need to talk about things that didn't happen at this time.The essence of Ishikawa Woodpecker's ability is memory after all.

"So you said you killed the client again, I can only think of two possibilities."

"One is like an allusion, once the dead people recall the fact that they are dead, then they will disappear into the world."

Kyosuke Kindaichi didn't know that he was almost a prophecy at this moment.In the future, there will indeed be a person who forgets death and reappears in the world with different abilities. After realizing the fact that he is actually dead, he will be killed by the same person again.

There is another possibility, "Your client is not happy before he loses his memory?"

Ishikawa Woodpecker was silent.

Although he didn't go through the memory of that "Mr. Ranpo" completely, none of the few copies he extracted by himself was a good memory.

His abilities are said to be random, but they all have their own regularity, basically representing the most important (or unforgettable) turning points of the read.

For example, he can guess that if he reads another Edogawa Ranpo himself, it will definitely include what happened when the other party met Fukuzawa Yukichi.

And if you read Yosano Akiko, it must also include the collapse in the previous war, as well as the memory of being rescued by Edogawa Ranpo and Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"Oh, I think I can understand." Kyosuke Kindaichi was also silent for a while, "If the memory is restored, it means that he will experience (recall) what happened when he died again."

That's the absolute worst case scenario.

Ishikawa Woodpecker's ability cannot allow him to fully feel another person's emotions, but it does have a certain impact.Kyosuke Kindaichi knew this.

In the past, Mr. Ishikawa would say "It's terrible" after completing the commission, and then pull him to drink - but never once, Mr. Ishikawa really showed such a helpless and dazed state in front of him.

and so……

Kyosuke Kindaichi said gently: "Are you willing to tell me about what emotions you feel."

"Of course, if this is not suitable for me to know..."

"Death." Ishikawa Woodpecker spoke directly.

If it weren't for the flush on his face, he wouldn't even be able to see that he was actually a drunk alcoholic at the moment.

"At that moment, I really thought I was going to die." Ishikawa Woodpecker lay on the wine table, "But what I perceived was only one tenth of that child—one hundredth?"

"Even if he will die, he is sure that he will die sooner or later. He can't hold on for too long. But there is only one thought in that child's mind."

"He wants to protect his companions."

"[Not good... I'm about to die...

In the end, I was of no help at all...]"

"【No! I absolutely can't let the two of them fall here too!!】"

Ishikawa Woodpecker can express what he reads in the form of words, but he himself can perceive more than words.

It's just the situation at that time, Ishikawa Woodpecker didn't know how to speak these words.

"But you know what, Kyousuke, what surprised me the most was not what happened before I died. It was what happened after..."

"I'm sure he was out of breath at that point, but his brain was still active and had this memory."

"He may have seen his family on the other side of death, but it is more likely that it is just his own imagination."

"Mr. Ishikawa..." Kyosuke Kindaichi opened his mouth, not knowing how to comfort his friend.But before the next sentence was spoken, his expression was stunned.

"Please don't move around, Mr. Ishikawa." Kyosuke Kindaichi frowned as he said this, stretched out his hand, and took out a small monitor from Ishikawa Woodpecker's clothes.

Thinking that the conversation between them would be monitored by unknown people, Kyosuke Kindaichi's expression was a little ugly, and he immediately became vigilant.

Unexpectedly, Ishikawa Takuboku didn't have any doubts at all, reached out to take the monitor from Kyosuke Kindaichi's hand, and broke it off so quietly.

"Mr. Ishikawa?!"

"Kyosuke, my friend, you have to be tactful, sometimes it's better to pretend you don't know." Ishikawa Woodpecker lay on the table, closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.

—At the same time, the Office of the Armed Detective Agency.

Osamu Dazai heard the creaking sound coming from his ears, he didn't take off the camouflaged earphones, but fell on the sofa. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the direction of his eyes just happened to be aimed at the time when he was still in a daze on the rooftop. none.

Shiwu is talking to the system at this time (referring to the communication between consciousnesses).

He said in a daze, "Just now, I suddenly remembered something from the last world..."

With Edogawa Ranpo's brain, how could Shi Wu not know that they were deliberately avoiding him.

It's just that Luanbu said he believed him, so Shiwu obediently went upstairs.He even knew why Ranpo chose Tanizaki Naomi to accompany him - because compared to others, the Tanizaki brothers and sisters have always been like conjoined twins, and they are rarely separated.

And Tanizaki Junichiro will definitely tell his sister what happened now without saying a word.In addition, Tanizaki Naomi is not a person with supernatural powers...

As for his inexplicable thought of things in the previous world...

"That stone,"

[Ishikawa Woodpecker. 】

"Oh, Ishikawa Woodpecker." Shi Wu naturally continued, "His ability is related to memory, right?"

【Yes. 】

"So, you are throwing out the things of the last world as a smoke bomb?"

【……Yes. 】

"Is that so..." Shi Wu felt the damp cool wind blowing over his cheeks, and this time he really spoke.He said softly: "It feels like it's going to rain..."

I don't know if it's a side effect of Ishikawa's woodpecker ability, but at this moment, Shi Wu unconsciously recalled what happened in the last world.

Shi Wu thought he would be the same as before, and he forgot all about it when he turned around.

Probably because the time has not passed too long, and the emotions at that time made his memory deep enough, coupled with the blessing of Edogawa Ranpo's brain, Shi Wu found that he could even remember every word of it quite clearly.

At the beginning of the memory, Shi Wu's attitude was the same as before, quite casual.

At that time, he had just confirmed his identity.

— Osamu Dazai.

As always, everything is unclear except for one name.

He didn't know where he was teleported, but according to previous experience, it should be not far from the target.

Shi Wu played with the wheelchair under his body curiously. He seemed to have never touched this kind of thing before, so he spent half a minute researching what the buttons on the wheelchair meant.

Then, he heard the voice of a husky boy.

It's the goal.Shi Wu raised his head with this indifferent and casual attitude, and saw a boy with strange bangs.

The expression of the silver-haired boy was full of disbelief and sadness—this look should be considered familiar to Shi Wu, and every vest has a similar expression when meeting others.

At this time, Shi Wu has not yet realized what this represents.

All he knew was that it meant—

[Energy collection is complete, task...]

But the sound of the system was suddenly interrupted.

The silver-haired boy rushed to Shi Wu at a speed that was difficult for humans to catch up with, and he didn't even dare to reach out to touch it, but his voice was filled with gratitude, and he said tremblingly: "Great, Mr. Dazai, you are not dead... "

Shi Wu was stunned.

【mission completed.Start transferring...]

"I want to stay." Shi Wu abruptly interrupted the system's words, and he realized something from the silver-haired boy.

I don't know if it's because the vest's instinctive emotions surged up, and Shi Wu, who has always shown that he doesn't care about anything, has a gloomy atmosphere on his body.

The system was silent for a while, and then responded: [I understand. 】

[The time you can stay after the task is completed, the countdown is 23:58:46]
