(61) Don't Resist

I have observed the children in the laboratory, most of them have robotic hands to help take care of the children, and I have never been hugged as a child in my memory.It feels really weird to feel the other person's chest, bones, muscles and body temperature through the limbs of the body.

"I can go by myself."

He said he would only take me for a walk, but Otoko Yuta took me directly to the office building where the Armed Detective Agency is located.

I was going to jump out of Otoko Yuta's arms.It's just more than one meter above the ground, which is not a challenge for me.The only thing I'm worried about is that the thigh muscles are now stiff and tight from maintaining one body movement for a long time.Jumping directly on the flagstone floor may injure the bones and muscles.However, after I finished saying this, I waited for Otoko Yuta to let go of my clothes, but he bent his knees and squatted down, and put me on the ground in a stable manner.

…oh.

There are such.

"Thank you."

Yi Guyoutai smiled brightly and said, "It's just a trivial matter."

I didn't know how to respond to this sentence, so I went straight into the elevator with my schoolbag on my back, but I found that the elevator button was out of reach of my hands, and I had to jump up to press it.

"..."

Thinking about it carefully, since I became a child last night, Gojo Satoru, who was walking in front, opened all the elevator buttons, including the door of the room. After opening, I just walked in.And Gojo Satoru was in charge of closing the door, so I didn't notice that my height was by far the biggest flaw.

Yiguyouta didn't embarrass me for too long, he quickly pressed the elevator button.After I walked into the elevator room, I stood at the back against the wall and said, "Let's go to the fourth floor."

The button on the fourth floor required me to jump on the armrest and press it.

Rather than making such a fuss, it's better to let Yi Guyoutai do it for him.

The same is true for the next door, the ball lock makes me have no focus.Although I can still do it alone, I always feel like a clown when I spend time and effort on these small things in front of acquaintances.

This child's body really has too many disadvantages.

While I was thinking, I looked at Otoko Yuta who was guarding the door.

"Open the door."

However, Otoko Yuta didn't seem to be able to read my expression, looked at me and continued, "Who do you want to find, senior?"

The ideal situation is to find Osamu Dazai now, and first relieve my current state of being in the way.Then move on to the next step, but according to my prediction, he may not be here.If he is not here, it is enough to explain the attitude of the Supernatural Secret Service towards me, and it also shows that the government is not worthy of my trust.

I thought that the death of Sakunosuke Oda four years ago had an impact on him. Even if there was a conflict between organizational orders and personal conscience and morality, he might think about how to balance the two and try to get the best of both worlds.But it may be different now. If Osamu Dazai is picked up, it means that someone from the Supernatural Secret Service Division exchanged information with the Hound-"Ayanokōji has become smaller, and it may be necessary for a person with a dispelled ability to come and ".

They may not know that I already know Osamu Dazai has the ability to nullify abilities, but they will separate me from Osamu Dazai first.When I met Ango Sakaguchi on the third day, my short figure was not only easy to recognize in the crowd, it was not easy to disguise, and it would be more difficult to escape.Sure enough, in terms of mobility, "children" have a weaker advantage than "old people".

"Open the door."

"... Oh oh." Yi Gu Youtai hastily opened the door for me.

As soon as the office door was opened, there was a desk separated by several tables, a sofa for meeting guests, and decorative evergreen potted plants everywhere. The room was well ventilated and had a clean and refreshing smell.Although it is not the kind of high-end and high-grade furnishings, you can feel the orderliness of the office.

"Hello, do you need any help?"

The first person who noticed us was a boy with silver hair and yellow eyes.

After he glanced at Yi Guyoutai, seeing me staring at him, he quickly showed a puzzled smile.

I know him.

He is a boy from the same orphanage as me, about the same age as me, and his name is Atsushi Nakajima.Because he is often punished, the dean is very strict with him, and the children in the orphanage are very good at winking and do not interact with him, so he is in a marginalized position in the orphanage.And because I only wanted to leave the orphanage, I took the exam for a prestigious high school by myself in less than a month in the orphanage. After I was admitted to Didan Middle School, I never had any interaction with him again.

Although he still looks very thin, he is in a very good state of mind.

A person who is quite content with the status quo.

"I'm looking for Mr. Dazai."

Nakajima Atsushi said: "Mr. Dazai, he hasn't come here today." As soon as he said this, there was the sound of a pen breaking from the desk next to him, and there was a growl of gritted teeth, "Osamu Dazai disappeared again! I can't get in touch yet. "

But others were in no rush and seemed to be used to the situation.

Atsushi Nakajima quickly raised his hand to attract the attention of Yi Gu and me: "Mr. Dazai may arrive later, do you have to find Mr. Dazai? Can anyone else?"

Yi Gu's eyes fell on me, waiting for my reply.

This is also within my thoughts.

"Is Yosano Akiko here?"

Atsushi Nakajima tilted his head and said hesitantly, "She is here."

"Okay. I want to meet her." I walked to the edge of the sofa and found that the sofa was still a bit high. I sat on the sofa with my hands together and said, "Mr. Nakajima, please make arrangements."

"You know who I am?"

"Is it hard to know who you are?" I asked.

"...I don't know if it's difficult or not."

Atsushi Nakajima scratched his face with his hands, he glanced at the people around him, and walked towards the infirmary.

Otoko Yuta didn't intend to sit down, but stood behind me.

What a strange combination.

I read it on other people's faces.

But if they knew what was going to happen, they would regret that standing here, they didn't stop me from walking in the door, I didn't stop me from talking to Atsushi Nakajima, I didn't know who I was immediately, and I just stood there thinking about me. What is the identity in the end, but casually watching the fun.

I have never met Yosano Akiko, but from Orihara Rinya's description, I can guess what she looks like—a young woman with sharp eyes.As soon as I came out of the infirmary, I noticed her gaze.

After I jumped off my seat, I greeted her directly: "Hello."

Yosano Akiko raised his eyebrows and looked at me: "Little friend, what are you doing here?"

"Looking for you."

"It seems that you really know who I am. Then kid, what do you want me for?" Yosano Akiko smiled and said, "I didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but seeing such a cute child, It's okay if I squeeze a little time for you."

I don't like this explanation as a pretext.

What does "cute" mean?

"My name is Ayanokōji Kiyotaka. Due to the attack of a person with supernatural powers, my age should have shrunk by more than ten years."

Since I have short hands, I don't need to shake hands redundantly.

My name should have appeared here more than once, so after hearing my introduction, other people more or less began to listen to our conversation.

"If you are looking for me to restore your body, I may not be able to help you," Yosano Akiko said.

"No, I want to ask you if you want to rehabilitate yourself and your comrades-in-arms before the 14-year war? As far as I know, you were an important member of one of the original talent training programs."

As soon as I said this, I could clearly feel that the leisurely attitude of Yosano Akiko in front of me disappeared, her face darkened instantly, and her expression was gloomy and cold. "Where did you hear about this?"

I asked back, "Who do you think knows your business best?"

"..." Yosano Akiko must have had an idea, because she uttered an indistinct sound, but just as she opened her mouth, she saw that some people had slowly gathered around, all of whom seemed to be moved by Ayanokoji's words Just to attract attention.

"What do you mean before the war? Talent cultivation plan?"

Many people present here are in their early 20s. When the training program stopped, they were still ignorant children, or they were far away from the war, and they were not familiar with it.

Although the voice was small, it was a great stimulus to Yosano Akiko.

I continued to calmly say: "That's right, it was Mori Ogai. It was he who told me about your existence."

She stood up straight away, drove away the colleagues who were watching the excitement with her eyes, then turned around, pointed in my direction and said, "You are not welcome here, you can go."

Although Tachihara Michizao doesn't have anything related to Yosano Akiko in his memory, there is only a description of the so-called "angel of death".But Ayanokōji knew that Mori Ogai was the officer who put forward the "Undead Legion" paper at the beginning, and the people involved in his plan at that time were listed in detail.

All confidential information, like ordinary information, has a ten-year archiving period, and will not be destroyed naturally after the end.I have original copies of these materials.However, people from the Supernatural Secret Service Division should have started to notice that these documents were missing, probably when I became an advisor to the ruling party.

"The Armed Detective Agency knows your identity and knows that the government is investigating you. Maybe you are also a victim of the plan, but I don't care if you brought up the incident more than ten years ago because you wanted to win sympathy and pretend to be pitiful. Other people's attention. We will not accept your entrustment here, and go through this muddy water."

"Did Edogawa-san say that too?"

No wonder I didn't see him sitting in the office.

"This is the attitude of the entire detective agency."

Yosano Akiko walked to the door and made a "please" gesture.

I sat motionless in my original position, looking through the window on the table in the center, the outside was as quiet as every ordinary day.

"I just didn't expect that Ms. Xie Ye would be so indifferent to comrades who were deprived of the basic right to live or die like a tool man."

"Boy, if you hadn't put on a child's face, I would beat you right now."

Clenched fists with Yosano Akiko and spoke harshly.

"What do you know?"

"Just tell me, as one of the former victims, do you want to get justice for them? You don't need to do anything, just say a word."

"Even if I say "yes", what can change?Can they be brought back to life? "

"Do you know why I joined the Black Organization?"

"........."

""We can be both of God and the Devil. Since wear increasing the death against the stream of time".I need your strength, as long as you lend me your strength, I can reverse time for you. "

My eyes followed and looked up to her golden and copper-colored butterfly.

Perhaps within a minute, Otoko Yuta and I were invited out of the Armed Detective Agency.Yi Gu Youtai stared at the door for a while, then pointed in the direction of the door with his finger.

"Do you want to go in again? This time in a different way?"

While speaking with a simple expression, Otoko Yuta drew out his long sword-shaped magic tool neatly from the back.

Obviously, the deal between me and Akiko Yosano didn't work out.

She didn't want to bring up those things before the war.

Now she just wants to live a peaceful life.

what a luxury...

I glanced upstairs.

The fifth floor is Orihara Rinya's office.

According to the situation of his phone call with me yesterday, he has already been controlled by a certain force.

Now when I come to the door to search for items that are in my hand, I will only encounter some traps waiting for me to enter the net, so there is no need for me to go inside to check.

I said: "It doesn't matter, I also gained something today." I recorded her voice when I was talking with Yosano Akiko just now. Although the amount of words was not much, it was enough to distinguish her voiceprint.

"What about recovering your body?" Otoko Yuta still remembered what I said at the Armed Detective Agency just now.I am more concerned about whether I can recover my body immediately.

In fact, I don't mind myself becoming a younger child.Although there are a lot of hindrances due to height, it is not difficult as long as you adapt.In fact, people are super adaptable and good at adjusting their lives according to the environment.Of course, it is inevitable that this terrible adaptability of man is the easiest to wear down the willpower of man to fight.

I said, "Let's make a post here while we're here."

On "Kyos", each mobile device can only be bound to one account, which recognizes the code of the mobile device.In my backpack and I have more than a dozen mobile phones that have just been bought from the black market.These mobile phones are not bound with personal information, and because the equipment is outdated, some positioning software cannot be found on it.

"Then let me share the hotspot." Yi Gu Youtai took out his mobile phone.

"No need. I know the network password of the Armed Detective Agency." The last time we met, Orihara Lin also shamelessly said that he had been using the network downstairs all the time.I don't know if no one has noticed this trivial matter, so Orihara Linya has not received any complaints for more than two years.

"How did you know that?"

Yigu Youtai sat next to me and helped me enter the password of the mobile phone network.Because I did this on the escape ladder, there was an echo when I spoke, so Yi Gu Youtai deliberately lowered his voice next to me.Seeing that he really boarded in, he let out a small exclamation.

"Will we be discovered like this?"

"It's ok."

"It feels like we're doing something bad." Yi Guyou still thought it was quite funny, so the corners of his mouth couldn't be suppressed.

If rubbing against other people's Internet is a very bad thing, then what is it after that?

Heinous sin?

I can't think of it.

After I finished typing the text, I turned to Yi Gu Youta and said, "Do you want to see what I wrote?" Because Yi Gu Youta never asked questions, even if he asked, he didn't insist on an answer.I'm not sure if it's just his personality, not being curious about things, or if asking questions makes it harder for me.

Yi Gu Youtai smiled and said: "I feel that if I read it, I may not understand it, but there will be more problems."

"I can explain it to you."

I handed the mobile phone to Yi Guyouta.

"After I know, will I help you more?"

I thought about it carefully and said, "That's not going to happen."

"Then I won't watch it." Yigu Youtai said, "I see that there are some supernatural beings around, if anyone among them can read minds, and I accidentally leak all your secrets, it would be bad ?"

This guy really just doesn't care.

After I sent the last text message, I glanced at the comment on the forum that received a lot of responses because of "let's call the police", and started to pack my phone and said, "Speaking of which, you will listen to everything I say, right?"

"of course."

"If you get caught, tell me everything you know, and say that you were threatened by me." I bowed my head and said as I closed the zipper. "Save yourself first."

"and then?"

I looked back at Otoko Yuta, he seemed to be thinking about my plan, just like when I told him to kill me, although he showed a surprised expression, he quickly adjusted his state and didn't ask at all. Condition.It should be that his doubts are accumulating to the point of overflowing.

I stood up and said, "Let's go, if you can't meet Mr. Dazai, bring him here while Edogawa is still outside."

"Are you sure he's not hiding?"

"The relationship between me and him is not to be in conflict with the detective agency. I need to hide and not meet me. I am not his. He doesn't owe me anything." I said, "So, he should still be outside .”

"Really? When I was at the hot spring hotel, I thought you had a good relationship. Didn't you take good care of him?"

Now that I think about it, when we were in the hot spring hotel, I didn't know Otoko Yuta at all.

I explained: "He is the type who needs to be taken care of. If he is not taken care of well, he will cause trouble for others."

After Yi Gu Youtai responded with "Oh oh oh", he said quickly: "Then bring it here?"

"He's going to act with us these days."

If Osamu Dazai cannot be caught, Ranpo Edogawa will have to be imprisoned.

The whereabouts of Edogawa Ranpo is easy to guess.

Either at the scene of the crime, or in the recently opened dessert shop.But he usually has no way to go back and forth by himself, because he is a person who doesn't remember the way, so if he goes back and forth, he must either be accompanied by someone, or he can directly call a taxi to go back and forth.

If you are alone, it will be easy to solve; if you have a companion, we can just lure his companion away

Sure enough, on the road, we saw a man jumping forward with a paper bag in his arms, humming Edogawa Ranpo of unknown tune, and his cape hopped along.If there are still bells hanging on the body, it is estimated that the crisp sound of "jingling" can be heard from a long distance.

……

With such a defenseless look, I really don't know what to say about him.

"Drag him into the alley."

Otoko Yuta's action was faster than I imagined. After taking a shortcut and walking to the small road in front of Edogawa Ranpo, before the other passers-by could see the phantom clearly and before Edogawa exclaimed, Otoko Yuta Tai dragged him directly into the alley.When I arrived, Luanbu leaned against the wall and squatted on the ground, while Yigu Yuta covered his mouth with his hand, and made a booing motion with his index finger.

It is really difficult for them to realize such a threat with so many flaws so smoothly.

"Mr. Edogawa, hello, long time no see."

Luanbu looked in my direction, and looked at me with sleepy eyes: "You have become like this!" His hand directly bypassed Otoko Yuta, and stretched out in my direction.

"..."

Therefore, this kind of "uniform" that allows people to move freely is not a threat at all.

I saw that his thumb and index finger moved very obviously, so I slapped his hand away with a "snap".

Edogawa Ranpo, who was in pain, covered the back of his hand and stared at me dissatisfied.

I continued to watch my nose and nose, and said, "I give you two choices: one, follow us happily; two, take you away after being knocked unconscious by us."

"I want a third option."

"There is no third option."

"I know where Osamu Dazai has gone, can this be changed to a third choice?"

"I'm sorry, but I also know where Mr. Dazai has gone."

The places he can go are really limited.

Either he committed suicide again, lost contact for a day or two, and no one could find him;

"Well."

Edogawa Luanpo lowered his head.

Yi Gu Youtai looked back at me and told me with his eyes, "It seems to be done".

However, before Otoko Yuta and I could react, Edogawa Ranpo jumped up from the spot like a rabbit: "No, no, no, no! You can't do this to me! I want to resist!"

Seeing Edogawa's random steps out of his control, Yi Guyouta froze for a moment.

I sighed: "Snacks are provided three times a day, morning tea, afternoon tea and supper, all you can eat."

"..." Luanbu immediately stopped his berserk state, and his hands were still raised in the air stiffly, as if he was still hesitating whether he should continue to resist and strive for more benefits.

"Don't you like reasoning and investigating cases? I know the popular mystery novelist Jin Tianyi, and I also know that someone can make the stories they write come true. If you stay in the room, you won't be too bored."

"……………………"

"how?"

It is completely customized for Edogawa Ranpo.

As long as he doesn't move anything during this time, it will be fine.

"I, I refuse!" Edogawa Ranpo roared loudly, "Even if it knocks me out, I will resist."

I waved my hand blankly, and said, "It seems that I am too polite. Yi Gu, take away his snacks."

"Don't, don't, don't! Ayanokouji, you are not allowed to grab my snacks."

Edogawa Ranpo clutched the snack bag tightly.

Because of my attitude, although Edogawa Ranpo followed me in the end, he didn't bother to find a marker pen to draw a mustache on my face in the middle of the night.While he was happy and sleeping contentedly, I also wrote "idiot" on his face with a marker.

This is something.

After I caught Edogawa Ranpo, I started calling Mori Ogai.

He is a key figure.

After the phone call——

"Hello, Mr. Sen, I'm here to ask you for an account."

The author has something to say:

Mori Ogai = Ayanokoji's doll self-propelled ATM in the full text.

Mori Ogai: Do I owe you money?

Ayanokoji: No, you don't have to.

Mori Ogai: ...how much?
