There's always someone who thinks about my vests and they're fighting

"This is really..." Zhui Ming was dumbfounded, before hesitating for a long time, "...provoking thought-provoking."

"In the curse, there is another test implied. Could it be that the sea witch is actually a master of the Tao? She came here to persuade the mermaids to give up killing?... No, it doesn't make sense. I have never heard of anyone who is a master of the Tao. People are so ruthless that they have brought a race to the brink of extinction. Then what is it for?" Zhui Ming sighed endlessly.

Poe hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help expressing his opinion: "I think that the sea witch may not think so much, it's just a simple curse. However, whenever you cast a curse, you must not do it too extreme, you must leave room for it, otherwise It will definitely backfire on itself. Dao 49, Tianyan [-], escape one of them. Even the curse follows this principle, leaving a glimmer of life. In fact, most of the curses contain the method of cracking, but this cracking The method is like a heavenly secret, and it cannot be captured by very human beings."

Zhui Ming choked, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Mr. Poe makes sense. In this way, Mr. Poe is indeed not very human to be able to see through the essence of the curse so easily."

"Huh?" Poe was overwhelmed by the sudden compliment, and blushed silently.

"But, how did Mr. Poe know these things?" Leng Xue, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked, and a pair of sharp eyes stabbed straight at Poe like a drawn sword.

Poe couldn't help but flinched, hugged Carl the raccoon, hid behind Zhui Ming, and muttered indistinctly: "...I, I just know."

Chasing his life and laughing, he blocked Leng Xue's sight for him as Po wished, raised his eyebrows at Leng Xue, motioned him not to be too strict, and then asked casually: "Speaking of which, I have always been curious, Mr. Po is not afraid of me. , I’m not afraid of Brother Tie, why am I afraid of you, Junior Brother?”

Before Leng Xue could reply, Po, who was hiding behind Zhui Ming, couldn't help poking his head out, and shouted loudly: "I'm not afraid of him!"

After saying that, he retracted quickly, as if he was afraid of being caught by cold blood, then lowered his voice, and added with some guilt: "... At most, there is a little bit, only a little bit."

Zhui Ming was really a little curious this time: "So why? Although the younger brother looks a little cold and doesn't talk much, he is by no means a difficult person to get along with. Why does Mr. Poe always avoid him? ?”

Poe lowered his head and complained in a low voice: "Who made Mr. Lengxue look so much like Lord Silver Wolf? Every time we see Mr. Lengxue, it's like seeing the guardian of Mr. Ranbu, even though we know Mr. Silver Wolf is a good man." , but seeing parents or something is really scary!"

Zhui Ming has known Poe for a relatively long time, and once heard Poe talk about the "Ranbu Lord" in his words.Whenever Luanbu is mentioned, Poe will definitely praise it, such as "my fateful opponent", "a reasoning genius who is two years younger than us but not inferior to us", "you can see the truth at a glance, it is worthy of Luanbu "Your Majesty" and other praises and compliments, Zhui Ming has listened to it countless times over and over again, and can almost recite it backwards.

But this "Your Excellency the Silver Wolf" was the first time Zhui Ming heard Poe mention it, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Who is the Lord Silver Wolf that Mr. Poe mentioned? What does guardian mean?"

"Your Excellency Silver Wolf is the president of the Armed Detective Agency. He is a very powerful swordsman." Poe explained, "Guardian means that His Excellency Silver Wolf is the person responsible for taking care of and protecting Ranpo-kun."

Zhui Ming rubbed his chin: "So that's the case. But, Armed Detective Agency? I remember that Mr. Poe once said that he is a detective. Could it be that Mr. Poe is also a member of the Armed Detective Agency?"

"No!" Poe waved his hands hastily, "As we all know, there is only one detective, Ranpo-kun, in the Armed Detective Agency, and the others are armed. Although we are good friends with Ranpo-kun, we did not join them. Accurate Said, I used to be a member of their hostile organization, but later..." As if accidentally slipping the tongue, Poe hurriedly stopped and kept silent.

"It's well known?" Zhui Ming squinted his eyes and finally realized something was wrong, "According to what Mr. Poe said, these people and these organizations shouldn't be unknown in the world, right?"

Poe's expression seemed hesitant, and he waited a long time to wait for Ai Ai to say: "...Yes, you guessed it yourself, I didn't take the initiative to tell you."

Zhui Ming knew that Poe was ready to confess to him, and guessed that Poe didn't say it before maybe because of some restrictions, so he nodded along the meaning of Poe's words, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I already guessed Now, Mr. Poe has something to add, but it doesn't matter."

Poe put Carl the raccoon back on the top of his head, his expression became serious, and he explained seriously: "This world is not as simple as you imagined. There is an inner world under the surface world. The surface world is where ordinary people live. In the other world, there are a group of people with special abilities, as well as some other species, including mermaids, monsters and so on."

"Generally speaking, in order to maintain balance, life forms in the inner world are not allowed to appear in the outer world."

"However, there are exceptions to everything. The mermaids yearn for the outside world. In order to leave the inner world, they searched for sea witches in exchange for a potion that would allow them to grow legs like ordinary people, and paid a huge price for it. The mermaids who administered the potion will lose all their special abilities from now on, and even if they go to the watch world, they will not be able to destroy the balance and order of the watch world. Therefore, the mermaids made an exception and obtained the privilege of going to the watch world.”

"There is another situation, that is illegal smuggling."

"There is a prison named Meursault in the inner world, which is specially used to detain those who have committed major crimes in the inner world and have special abilities.

"Meursault Prison is heavily guarded. Generally speaking, it is difficult to get out after entering."

"However, not long ago, a dangerous prisoner escaped from Meursault Prison and escaped to the outside world through the gap between the inner and outer worlds near Meursault Prison."

"In order to catch the escaped prisoner, Meursault Prison sent an enforcer to the watch world after submitting an application to the higher authorities and getting permission."

Just as he was talking, at this moment, Carl the Raccoon suddenly jumped from the top of Poe's head to his right shoulder, sitting upright with a rather solemn posture.

Poe couldn't help turning his head to stare at Carl the Raccoon, and Carl the Raccoon looked back at Poe innocently.

One person and one beast looked at each other in blank dismay, and for a moment, the scene seemed a little funny.

Poe finally took the lead, pointed at Carl the raccoon, and couldn't bear to complain: "Don't steal the show, Carl, I'm not talking about you!"

Carl the Raccoon continued to look at Poe innocently, and then decisively bit Poe's left index finger pointing at him.

"It hurts, it hurts—" Poe was caught off guard by being bitten, and shook his hands screaming in pain.

Poe, who was just now solemnly revealing the mysterious information about the inner and outer worlds, is now full of situations, and the series of developments are too ridiculous.

Zhui Ming and Leng Xue watched from the sidelines, feeling a little puzzled for a while, neither smiling nor nervous, feeling quite confused at once.

Throwing away Carl the raccoon, who was playing without permission, Poe covered his bitten left index finger with tears in his eyes, and pouted his mouth in grievance, as if he was going to cry in the next second, but in the end he just complained softly Said: "Karl is too much!"

Then, like a little pitiful, he begs the raccoon Karl and said: "...don't bite me again next time."

Immediately afterwards, Poe pushed Karl the raccoon back up again, staring at the life-seeking and cold-blooded, with a solemn expression again: "Let me introduce myself again, my name is Poe, I am a detective, and I am also from Meursault Prison in the Inner World. law enforcers."

"Mr. Poe..." Zhui Ming's expression was vacillating, and his tone was a little tranced, "Although I would like to believe that Mr. Poe's words are true, but... why do I always feel that law enforcement officers like Mr. Poe seem a bit unreliable? ?”

Leng Xue nodded his head in agreement, and added by the way: "Although Mr. Poe came here to solve countless cases, he didn't start looking for the culprit."

"Huh? This..." Poe's eyes began to falter, and his expression was obviously a little guilty.

"Before I came to Six Doors, I was actually looking for the prisoner..." Poe explained, "I once found traces of him near Xinghua Village, so I chased after him, but lost it accidentally. Being surrounded and blackmailed by people again, Zhui Mingjun is very clear about what happened after that."

"Later, didn't I join the Six Gates later? If the prisoner causes any serious crimes, the Six Gates will definitely get the news first. We just need to wait."

"Besides, although I am a detective, finding people is not what I am good at. The prisoner has been hiding, what can I do?..." As he spoke, Poe suddenly became confident. .

"Mr. Poe," Zhui Ming interrupted Poe's words, and asked with some helplessness, "Is the Meursault prison not enough staff?"

"Huh?" Poe was a little surprised, "How did the life-seeker know?" "Just look at Mr. Poe. Although Mr. Poe is very good at reasoning, and his ability to put people in books is quite miraculous, but..." Zhui Ming couldn't help but hold his forehead and sighed, "It's still a child's heart at all."

"You, you, you——" Poe's face was flushed again, and he pointed at Zhui Ming angrily and shyly, his fingers trembling slightly, and he retorted loudly, "How many times have I said it! We are not children! We have experienced Many things were recruited by Meursault Prison as law enforcers!"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, Mr. Poe is certainly not a child." Zhui Ming comforted him with a good temper, and then changed the subject with a smile, "...So, the prisoner who escaped from Meursault Prison is called What name? What are the characteristics?"

Poe snorted unhappily, and finally explained the dangerous prisoner who escaped from Meursault Prison to the watch world seriously: "His real name is Jonathan Klein, but people usually call him 'Scarecrow'." '.Because he is like a scarecrow in the wheat field, with slender hands and feet, and always wears a scarecrow hood with stitches. Few people have seen his real appearance. But we are quite familiar with him."

"He had blue-gray eyes, short dark brown curly hair, and was tall -- a little taller than me."

"'Scarecrow' mostly uses agricultural tools used in the fields as weapons, and usually prefers to use sickles and rakes. His unique kung fu combines crane kung fu, drunken boxing, and other schools that I don't know much about. self-contained."

"Although he doesn't have internal strength, the 'Scarecrow' knows everything about the meridians and acupoints of the human body, and his movements are very sensitive, and he is good at using dexterity, so he is not very easy to deal with."

"In addition, the 'Scarecrow' has amazing talents in the fields of medicine, poison, and psychology. The [Poisonous Fear] he produced can infinitely amplify the fear deep in people's hearts, making people unable to extricate themselves from deep fear. In the end, you beat yourself."

Poe finished speaking, before Zhui Ming could say anything, Leng Xue suddenly said, "I may know this person."
