When Edogawa Ranpo woke up, he found himself lying on a strange yet familiar bed.

The arrangement of the room is full of feminine aesthetics.Simple and full of warmth, it can be seen that the owner of this room is a girl who loves life very much.

"You're awake!"

An ordinary-looking girl was sitting next to her. She was very happy when she saw the black-haired boy wake up, and immediately approached to care about the black-haired boy.

"How are you?"

"Is there anything uncomfortable?"

"You fainted just now, I'm worried about you."

The successive greetings made Edogawa Ranbu frowned, and he didn't like people approaching him suddenly, so he moved back and didn't speak.

The girl's eyes were obviously disappointed, she blinked to hide the loss under her eyes, pretending to be happy.Change the subject.

"You must be hungry after resting for so long! I'll go and prepare something for you."

The girl got up and left, closing the door.

Edogawa Ranpo was still in a daze and did not speak, he was thinking about the reason why he fainted.

The girl just now seemed to be his girlfriend—Takako Inagawa. He went to the bar to drink too much because of his parents' death yesterday, and finally got drunk until he passed out. It was his girlfriend who went to the bar to pick him up.

Today is the third month of their relationship. Since they are freelancers and their income is not stable, they are temporarily staying at Takako Inagawa's house. Fortunately, Takako Inagawa is a pastry chef with a high salary, which can guarantee the normal economics of the two of them.And now the relationship between the two of them has passed the period of passionate love and has begun to stabilize.

"Squeak-"

Takako Inagawa opened the door and came in with a bowl of meat porridge.

"After sleeping all morning, you must be hungry. You drank so much wine last night, and now you can only eat some light food. I cooked meat porridge for you. The temperature is just right. Eat it!"

Takako Inagawa sat on the chair beside the bed, gesturing to feed him, the dark eyes told Edogawa Ranpo that this person had been guarding beside him all night, and he still hadn't had a good rest to take care of him until now.

"No need," Edogawa Ranpo refused, "Detective...I want to be alone."

A detective...how could he call himself like that?

Not right.

"Ah, I'm sorry, what happened so suddenly, you must be in a bad mood now, then I'll go to work first, and you have a good rest." Takako Inagawa didn't force her when she was rejected, and put the bowl of porridge on the bedside On the side cabinet, got up and left again.

Edogawa Ranpo got out of bed after the people left. He looked around the room and found several miniature cameras.

Staring at a group photo on the wall again - that is him and

Takako Inagawa’s first date at the amusement park took a photo of him smiling happily, hugging his girlfriend dotingly, looking like a loving couple.

The strange feeling just now came again.

too weird.

He didn't think he could smile like that at all.

But his memory and all traces in this room tell him that he and Takako Inagawa are indeed a couple who have lived together for a long time.

And Takako Inagawa told him that he was heartbroken yesterday and went to the bar to drink too much, so why now he doesn't have any mood swings about these memories, and he doesn't even have any sad expressions for his dead parents.

It's as if these memories were forced into his head by someone, replacing his original memories.

Then this may be a false world, he was pulled into this world for some reason, and his memory was assimilated by this world.

He is trapped in this world.

After some speculation, if Edogawa Ranpo wants to leave here, he still needs to unravel the suspense and find his own memory, so he still plans to go out to find his "girlfriend" first. After all, Takako Inagawa should be the key to unraveling these suspense .

He feels like he's playing an escape room right now, which is kind of fun.

Edogawa ran out excitedly and planned to find someone, but in the end——

He is lost.

"Who designed this world? This place is too big." Ranpo Edogawa randomly found a public facility and sat down, curling his lips unhappily.

and……

He has walked out of that 'home' for more than ten minutes, and he didn't see anyone on the street. Although there are shops on both sides of the street, there is no one in the shops, and the products are placed on the shelves in good condition. .

It's like a world made for someone.

"Ah? Why did you come out?"

A familiar female voice came from behind Edogawa Ranpo, it was Takako Inagawa who had just left.

"Takako Inagawa..." Ranpo Edogawa was about to speak when the girl blocked her mouth with her index finger.

"Didn't you say that? If you want to call me Takako, even though you've been dating me for so long, and you still call me so unfamiliar, I will be angry." Takako Inagawa said with an angry expression.

"Okay." In order to find clues, Edogawa Ranpo could only nod his head, but he really couldn't say that intimate name. After all, those memories are all false. If that's the case, try not to call her name. up.

"That's right!" Takako Inagawa smiled happily.

"By the way, don't you like dessert the most? Today is the first day my store opens, let's go eat something!"

Not allowing the boy to refuse, the girl took his hand and hurried forward, arriving at a newly renovated dessert shop.

Unlike the empty streets before, this dessert shop is full of people and there is a long queue.

It's just that in Edogawa Ranpo's field of vision, these 'people' have no faces, they are neatly lined up together, they don't speak quietly, it looks very weird.

On the contrary, Takako Inagawa ignored the weird atmosphere and happily dragged the boy into the shop,

The store is empty, maybe it hasn't officially opened yet, but people outside have already started to line up, which shows how popular this dessert shop is.

"You do well here, and I'll come as soon as I go." Takako Inagawa walked into the back kitchen skillfully.

After a while, the girl changed into the dessert chef's clothes, and Edogawa Ranpo suddenly said, "Don't you need to entertain customers? The people outside are still waiting!"

"Customer?" Takako Inagawa looked at him in surprise, "What nonsense are you talking about? Where are there customers, you are the only one here!"

Edogawa Luanbu looked back, and the people who had lined up in front of the store had disappeared, and the atmosphere suddenly became weird.

Takako Inagawa came over to care about him, "What's wrong with you today? Why are you always talking nonsense."

"It's nothing, maybe I didn't sleep well." Edogawa Ranpo squinted his eyes and didn't mention the weirdness just now.

"That's right, the store has been open for a month. You helped out in the store all night yesterday. It's normal that you didn't sleep well." Takako Inagawa smiled, and was about to give the other party a kiss as a reward, but the other party hid her opened.

"You're too close to me." Edogawa Ranpo frowned, he really didn't like the approach of this person, he couldn't play the role of boyfriend anymore.

Why isn't that guy here yet?

Wait, who is that guy?

Could it be that he still has a companion.

Since he can remember that guy subconsciously, what he has to do now is to delay time.

But now he just seemed to piss people off.

Takako Inagawa, who was rejected again, had dull eyes, and began to turn from confusion to madness, and began to speak on her own.

"Why are you rejecting me?"

"Why did you leave me?"

"why?"

Can't help but show your true colors?

Edogawa Ranpo watched Takako Inagawa change from a human appearance to a ghostly appearance, and then gradually become larger, and the surrounding scenes also turned into an illusory place.

"why why?"

Takako Inagawa stretched out countless tentacles and rolled Edogawa chaotically into the sky, and opened his mouth with a radius of one meter to scream at him.

"Why?"

"Why? Isn't it just tired of you? With so many voyeuristic cameras installed in the room, it's no wonder your boyfriend doesn't get tired of you." Edogawa frowned.

This monster trapped him in this world, probably because he regarded him as her 'boyfriend', and the memory in his mind now may also be the memory of her 'boyfriend' before.

As for where did the monster's real 'boyfriend' go?Maybe she is no longer in this world, or she couldn't find her when she ran abroad, so she went to find a substitute to be her boyfriend, and deceived herself over and over again.

It was really unlucky to be chosen as that substitute.

"You—nonsense—say, I treat him so well and cook delicious food every day, why did he abandon me in the end and run away with Xiaosan."

"It's obviously his fault!!!"

Takako Inagawa was irritated by the black-haired boy's rebuttal, and tightened the shackles on the boy.

Edogawa Ranpo felt that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to breathe.

When he was about to pass out with his eyes darkened, he felt the shackles on his body loosen, and someone caught him precisely.

"Hey! Little detective, am I late?" The white-haired girl hugged the boy in the arms of a princess, with a smile on her face.

The familiar voice came to Edogawa Ranbu's ears, and the locked memory door in his mind was opened, and the memory was restored, and he began to speak through gritted teeth: "You bastard, why are you here now?"

Afterwards, he absolutely wanted this guy to treat him to the most expensive dessert in a month.

absolute.
