Yuuhito Kojo, who ran from Tokyo to Yokohama, was called back by the phone call of Nagasaki Yarose, and the Armed Detective Agency and his team brought Shiratori Natsu to the location of Edogawa Ranpo.

This tower is usually not open to the public, but now it looks like no one is managing it.

Kunikida Doppo pushed his glasses, "Let's go..."

Before the words "Zoo" fell, two people suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking them from the left and the right.

Both of them are dressed as clowns, with top hats and well-dressed tuxedos, exactly the same as the clowns that just appeared in the Armed Detective Agency.

The two clowns saluted them as a gentleman in unison, and said in an indistinguishable voice: "Welcome to Paradise."

Kunikida took two steps back alone, a page of the workbook in his hand was torn off by him, and instantly turned into a pistol.

The dark muzzle pointed at them, Kunikida Doppo frowned, "Who are you?"

"We are Calamity." The clown on the left straightened up.

"A clown too." The clown on the right continued.

The two of them didn't have any reaction that the person being pointed at should have. They didn't even take half a step back, and calmly faced the crowd, as if the gun in Kunikida Doppo's hand was just a non-lethal toy.

The clown on the left spoke first: "Sorry for blocking your way, but this time there are only two people who get tickets to the park."

The clown on the right took out two cards from his pocket, handed one to Edogawa Ranpo, and the other to Shiratori Natsu, "We only invite two of you to enter the paradise, here are your tickets."

Edogawa ranpo took the admission ticket, looked up and down, and crumpled it into a ball of paper disinterestedly.

Shiratori Xia looked at the admission ticket in his hand. The words Paradise Lost were printed on the paper, bearing his name and date in a decent manner. The workmanship was exquisite, but there was nothing special about it other than that.

Kunikida Doppo frowned, "Obviously you invited us over."

"That's right, aren't you afraid that we will force our way through?" Osamu Dazai echoed from the side.

"I'm sorry, but this is a rule. People without tickets cannot enter the park." The clown on the left bowed towards them.

"But don't worry, everyone will get tickets soon." The clown on the right said.

From the beginning to the end, the tone of the two people's speech has not changed, calm like a robot that has been programmed long ago.

Osamu Dazai looked at the two clowns secretly, stepped sideways and approached Shiratori Natsu without any trace, and said in a low voice, "Shiratori."

Shiratori Natsu looked at him, Dazai Osamu whispered something in Shiratori Natsu's ear.

Dazai Osamu and Shiratori Natsu's small actions did not attract the attention of others.

Edogawa Ranpo listened to their negotiation for a while, and waved his hands impatiently, "Okay, okay, let's go in."

"It's too dangerous for you to go in by yourself." Kunikida Doppo retorted.

Edogawa Ranpo shrugged nonchalantly, "Isn't there still Shiratori here, Shiratori will protect me, right?"

Shiratori Xia nodded, "Well, I will do my best."

Kunikida Doppo's eyebrows were so wrinkled that he could kill a fly. Even if Shiratori Natsu said so, he still didn't feel at ease. In his eyes, Shiratori Natsu with healing powers and Edogawa Ranpo with intelligence form both needed protection The presence.

"No, it's too dangerous."

"It's okay Kunikida, Shiratori is very powerful." Dazai Osamu patted Kunikida Doppo on the shoulder, "If Shiratori wants to kill me, I will die immediately."

Kunikida Doppo obviously didn't believe Dazai Osamu's words at all, "Dazai, this is not the time to be joking."

"I'm serious, don't worry Kunikida, it's fine."

Osamu Dazai put away his teasing expression, and looked directly at Kunikida Doppo.

Although Osamu Dazai usually acts like a fool, it is undeniable that he is a trustworthy person.

Since Osamu Dazai said so, he must have his own considerations.

Kunikida Doppo stared into Osamu Dazai's eyes, and he let out a sigh of relief, "I see."

"Don't worry, just leave it to a famous detective." Edogawa patted his chest in disorder, and walked towards the entrance.

The clown didn't stop them this time, Edogawa Ranpo and Shiratori Natsu walked into the tower smoothly.

The person who was also dressed as a clown was waiting inside and led them into the elevator.

The elevator door was closed, and the only forces in the enclosed space were Shiratori Natsu and Edogawa Ranbu. The elevator light kept beating, and the two moved towards the top of the tower.

Edogawa Ranpo looked at the clown below through the elevator fence, "Those guys are not human."

"Not human?" Shiratori Xia followed Edogawa Ranpo's eyes, "Why?"

"The judgment of a famous detective can't be wrong." Edogawa Ranpo retracted his gaze, "You must protect me in time, their target is me."

Hearing what Edogawa Ranpo said, Shiratori Natsu became curious, "How do you know that I can protect you well? I probably haven't shown my abilities in front of you."

"Hmph," Edogawa Ranpo nodded his head proudly, "Nothing can fool a famous detective."

As soon as the voice fell, the elevator door in front of them was opened.

There is a staircase in front of you. Go up the stairs and you will reach the spire.

On a small platform where the spire is located, Sasaki stood there alone, and Atsushi Nakajima was lying on the ground with his hands and feet tied, still unconscious.

Sasaki opened his arms towards the two, "Welcome, my first guests."

[Ding dong, task detected...mission...detecting...]

[Ding dong, a task has been detected to avoid the collapse of the plane. 】

The system notification sound appeared in Shiratori Xia's mind. The cold and rigid mechanical sound was not from Shiratori Xia's system.

[What does it mean to avoid plane collapse? 】 Shiratori Xia asked a question in her brain.

Usually the system that heard the message would reply him immediately, but Shiratori Natsu didn't get a response after a long while.

【system? 】

Shiratori Xia tried to call the system, but also failed.

The doubts in Shiratori Xia's heart became heavier.

what happens.

At the same time that Shiratori Xia was in contact with the system, Sasaki, who was opposite them, took a meaningful look at Shiratori Xia.

Edogawa looked at Sasaki in disorder.

Sasaki's appearance was too ordinary, so ordinary that he had a featureless face that would not have any impression in the crowd.

But such a face is too strange, as if it was deliberately arranged like this.

Edogawa Ranpo can be sure that this is not Sasaki's real appearance.

"Hey, are you the leader of that disaster? Is there anything you want us to do?"

Sasaki made a thinking posture, "Actually, there is nothing special, but I am looking for something, and I want you to help me find where that thing is."

"Looking for things is not difficult for a famous detective. What do you want to find?"

Sasaki looked at Edogawa Ranpo, his eyes became deep, as if there was an undercurrent flowing in them, "I'm looking for a book, a book with the power to change the world."

The smile on Edogawa Ranpo's face disappeared, and he opened his squinted eyes, looking straight at Sasaki, "That kind of thing doesn't exist."

"No, I know of his existence, but he is hidden by someone now." Sasaki spread his hands, "But it doesn't matter, this is one of the reasons why I found you, I know your ability, super reasoning , can you please lend him to me temporarily."

As Sasaki opened his mouth, the tower under their feet emitted a faint blue light, and the light moved around, forming a pattern of a five-pointed star. Five beams of light appeared at the sharp corners of the five-pointed star, enveloping their figures.

"This is my ability, Paradise Lost."

Sasaki raised his hand, his left forearm swelled and bulged, breaking the sleeve on his arm, and under the gaze of Shiratori Natsu and Edogawa Ranpo, it became the shape of a white tiger's paw.

Shiratori Xia's eyes widened. He had seen this kind of transformation in Atsushi Nakajima before. This was the ability of the moon beast.

Sasaki nodded in satisfaction, his left forearm returned to normal in an instant, and then he spread out his palm, which glowed with white light.

This radiant white bird Xia is very familiar with, it is his healing ability.

"Shiratori, can you still use your abilities?" Edogawa's random voice sounded in Shiratori Xia's ears.

Shiratori Xia raised her hand, and the same white light appeared on Shiratori Xia's hand.

Edogawa Luanpo retracted his eyes, "It can still be used, then if he guessed correctly, his ability should be to copy other people's ability."

This can also explain the weird feeling on the people dressed as clowns below.

None of them are real people, they are just abilities copied by Sasaki.

At this moment, Sasaki uttered a single voice of doubt, "Huh?"

Sasaki looked at Edogawa Ranpo, "Why can't I get your ability?"

"How do I know, maybe your ability has failed." Edogawa Ranbu laughed, his tone relaxed, as if he was choosing what kind of cone to eat.

Sasaki frowned, his abilities could not be invalidated, Shiratori Natsu and Nakajima Atsushi's abilities had already been captured by him, it was unreasonable that only Edogawa Ranpo's abilities could not be captured.

Was he circumventing his ability in some way?

Sasaki looked at Ranpo Edogawa, hyper-reasoning was what he needed most.

"Have you ever thought of another possibility?" Another voice sounded from above their heads.

Sasaki heard the sound and looked, Dazai Osamu was sitting in the helicopter with a gun in his hand, aiming the gun at Sasaki's head.

Sasaki showed no signs of fear, and calmly said, "What's possible."

"Super reasoning is not a supernatural ability." Dazai Osamu said lightly, and pressed the trigger with the corner of his mouth hooked.

The gunshot rang out, and a blood hole appeared on Sasaki's forehead, and the recoil brought Sasaki backwards.

Osamu Dazai whistled and put down the gun, "My skills haven't deteriorated after so long."

Shiratori Xia wrinkled her face and shook her body, it hurt even looking at it.

Sasaki who was lying on the ground trembled, and suddenly sat up again.

He covered his head, put his fingers into the wound on his forehead, and took out the bullet. Without the cover of foreign objects, the wound on his forehead quickly recovered.

Sasaki frowned and looked at Osamu Dazai.

Before he could speak, Osamu Dazai spoke first: "Do you want to ask me how I broke through your defense and came here? Of course, it is thanks to the tacit cooperation between the little white bird and me."
