City of Yokohama

Information like a puzzle game and a prank appeared on everyone's terminal.

【It is a piece of paper that can realize any wish - as long as the content you write on the paper is logical and has a complete chain of cause and effect, the things on it can be realized.

This piece of paper is invisible and only appears in special cases.

And the only clue to find the paper is the golden sun that rose three days ago. 】

Someone ignores it.

"Spam?"

The next moment, the delete key is pressed.

Some people don't believe it and are skeptical.

"Who...so bad taste."

He actually hacked the entire communication system, and getting caught must be a big deal.

Someone had a secret sense of excitement, ready to move.

"Could it be true?"

What a tempting bait to get that piece of paper to make up a story and make it happen.

Some people are excited and enjoy it as a game.

"A puzzle game? I like it!"

It's a puzzle game that everyone can participate in. I really feel excited just thinking about it.

The boundary between reality and fantasy gradually blurred.

Armed Detective Agency

Kunikida Doppo lightly held up his glasses, holding the entrustment letter he had just printed out.

"Received the entrustment of the police, let us assist in the investigation of this incident"

Looking up, Junichiro Tanizaki asked, "Is it about the golden sun?"

"Yes."

"Where's Mr. Ranpo?"

For such a commission, Ranpo Edogawa is the first choice.However, the famous detective is not in the detective agency at the moment.

"Mr. Ranpo will be back soon." Osamu Dazai walked in with a smile on his face.

His hair was messy, with a few green leaves embedded in it, and there were even a few cuts in his clothes.

Frowning, Kunikida looked at his inappropriate companion and asked a question.

"where did you go?"

"Just tried a new method of suicide, but obviously - failed."

The black-haired young man spread his hands helplessly, but there was an expression of indifference on his face.

Looking at him, Kunikida squeezed and loosened the hand holding the pen. His tolerance range seemed to be widened a lot after meeting Osamu Dazai, and the poor pen escaped unharmed.

Just as he was struggling with the inappropriate behavior of his incomprehensible colleagues, another voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"I am back."

The young man's speech was vague, and there was still a small bread in his mouth.

He held many freshly baked handmade foods wrapped in oiled paper in his hand.

A new bakery opened near the Armed Detective Agency. As a snack lover, Edogawa Ranpo went to clean it early this morning.

Putting down the greased paper bag, the young man with squinting eyes took the bun in his hand and swallowed the food in his mouth.

"What's the matter, Kunikida, do you need a detective for any commission?"

"Yes, Mr. Ranpo. 26 minutes ago, everyone in Yokohama received the same message on their terminals. Now there are many people on the Internet who are eager to find the golden sun."

"Information..."

Taking out the terminal, Edogawa Ranpo clicked on the mailbox.

"I didn't receive it."

His mailbox was as empty as ever.

"How come..." Kunikida Doppo stepped forward in surprise.

A detective handed him the terminal to show, "No, look, there is no."

Seeing this, Osamu Dazai stroked his chin with his knuckles, thoughtfully.

"The other party doesn't want Mr. Ranpo to know..."

No, such a flaw is too big, and everyone else in the detective agency has received the information.

so...

The purpose of the sender is - time difference.

26 minutes is enough for things to ferment.He deliberately sent this message when the famous detective left the detective agency and had no one to accompany him.

The people behind the scenes wanted to pull the entire Yokohama people into this carnival.When people are in a state of excitement, reason will basically lose its function.

Even if the answer to the mystery is announced now, the upsurge has already occurred, and it cannot be retreated quickly.

Thinking about this, Osamu Dazai expressed his guess.

"Even if the answer to the mystery is solved, we should immediately receive the next clue of the puzzle game, and start the second round of carnival for the whole people."

This is not a movie, but a series.

Dazai's words made the expressions of almost everyone present dignified.

After pondering for a moment, Ranpo Edogawa took out his glasses, put them on, and took Kunikida Doppo's terminal.

"Extraordinary power - super reasoning!"

All eyes were on the famous detective.

Countless clues are entangled in Edogawa Ranpo's mind, and the figure of the person behind the scenes is still vague, but his purpose and next move are fully exposed.

"I know the answer to the mystery."

"The sun rises in the east, and Yokohama TV stands in the due east."

"The TV station has established a special magazine, and there is a section called Chaoyang-a collection of personal photos of famous new models."

"The golden sun refers to one of the people invited in this issue."

The detective's words confirmed Osamu Dazai's guess. He asked, "Mr. Ranpo, when is the new issue published?"

"Monday, the day after tomorrow."

The smile on Dazai's face disappeared, and his expression showed some indifference that was inadvertently revealed when he was deep in thought, showing a condescending attitude.Even though no one knew about all the past experiences, they still left indelible marks on his body.

"This mystery is not difficult to solve, and the clues inside are very clear. By Monday, many people will know the answer."

"But . . . the man who is the answer—is in a bad place."

He can be sure of this.

The people caught up in the carnival, adhering to the crime diversion mentality that the law does not blame the public, will make extreme behaviors that completely break away from the moral and legal constraints of human society.

"We need to find that person and protect him as soon as possible." Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Kunikida Doppo's expression was very serious, "Moreover, we need to delay the time when the mystery is solved by everyone as much as possible."

"It's too late." Tanizaki Junichiro, who is always paying attention to the network dynamics, spoke with a little impatience unconsciously, and even he was infected by the carnival atmosphere.

"Someone guessed the Eastern TV station."

The information on the forum increases by an astonishing amount every time it is refreshed.

And the scarier thing is - the existence of that page is real.

This is a game that contains no lies.

saturday morning

Yokohama Teachers' Dormitory

Bai followed behind the teacher, looking rather tangled and dissatisfied.

'Is the teacher going to have dinner with that golden retriever again? '

In the past few days, that human has come to harass his teacher almost every day, which greatly shortens the time he could enjoy dessert with the teacher.

The information that popped up on the terminal made Aiyuanqing a little dumbfounded.

"Ryota has finished filming and will leave soon."

'Oh'

He was a little angry, the kind that was hard to coax.

Aiyuan Qing couldn't help chuckling at the too short one-word answer.Getting along with his students always makes him feel a lot of fun—although Bai is a curse spirit, he is more straightforward and simple than humans.

Simple love, simple dislike, there will be no overly complicated feelings.

His students have become his anchor in this other world that doesn't belong to him, allowing him to truly feel alive—living as himself, not playing someone else.

He finally has a place where he can reveal his true self.

On the terminal, a message popped out suddenly—it was a puzzle game.

Flipping through the short content, the college teacher's expression gradually became dignified, and he clicked on the discussion area of ​​the social platform.

He asked, "Bai, did you also receive this message?"

'Got it, sir. '

The young teacher's hand holding the terminal gradually tightened, and then loosened after a while.

He probably knew—the golden sun should refer to Kise Ryota.In fact, Aihara Kiyoshi was already suspicious the moment Kise appeared.

The timing of the boy's appearance in Yokohama was really a coincidence.

After contemplating for a moment, the young man had already made up his mind.

"Bai, remember what I said? Bring in human behavior to cooperate with me."

The white-haired mantra was a little puzzled.

'Teacher, what do you want me to perform? '

"Jealousy, the desperate feeling of jealousy that erupts after all emotions are suppressed and ignored. Then..."

Aihara Kiyoshi stared straight ahead, his gaze seemed to penetrate all obstacles and land on that person, the corners of his mouth curled up inappropriately.

His heart beat faster, hot and warm blood flowed through his body, and black flames were ignited in his eyes.

"Let's go and find the demon Feiya."

The right time has come.
