Writer saves the world

"Would you like something to drink?" Erye Tingming followed the basic process of entertaining guests and asked, "Coke? Orange juice?"

Edogawa Ranbu raised his hand and said, "I want to drink wave soda, and I want grape flavor."

After the lingering sense of fear was dispelled, he seemed to relax a lot. He was looking at the books in the store curiously, and he sat with his legs dangling and was not very upright.

Fukuzawa Yukichi stared at Edogawa Ranpo's hasty speech. After giving his worried child a more honest look, Fukuzawa Yukichi said in a deep voice, "Orange juice and oolong tea, thank you."

Both of these are individually packaged drinks in the freezer, which are safer than brewed drinks poured from the kettle.

When Edogawa Ranpo was looking left and right, Fukuzawa Yukichi was also quietly observing the layout of the store, but one of them was new to the new vision that could not read redundant information, and the other was Thinking about how to occupy a favorable terrain in case of a fight, and how to evacuate with the child in the fastest and safest way.

Erye Tingming brought drinks for them and a bottle of oolong tea for himself, pulled out a chair and sat opposite them, forming a posture like a three-way meeting.

Before getting into the main topic, Erye Tingming still cared about Edogawa Ranpo's physical condition first, "You seem to be recovering well, do you feel any discomfort recently? Do you have any sudden pain in your eyes or confusion in your vision? "

Edogawa Ranpo first glanced at Fukuzawa Yukichi, saw the elder nodded, and then he took a breath and replied: "When I just woke up, all I saw were images of many shadows stacked together. I thought my eyes were broken."

"Hmm..." Erye Tingming pondered for a moment, then asked again, "Can you see each shadow clearly?"

Edogawa curled his lips in disorder, "How is that possible? I felt dizzy as soon as I opened my eyes, and it took three whole days to feel better."

Erye Tingming asked: "What about now, can you still see the shadow?"

Edogawa shook his head in disorder, and added: "However, if I concentrate and stare very hard, there will be a little double image."

He seriously recalled his physical state, racking his brains to think about the manifestations of his body's diseases as if he were facing a doctor's patient-in fact, Fukuzawa Yukichi used the accident he encountered while investigating the case while he was sleeping. With an excuse, he invited a doctor from "the other side" to examine him through his previous connections, but he didn't find anything unusual about him. Instead, he persuaded Fukuzawa Yukichi to keep him from staying up late and eating snacks, saying that it was because of lack of sleep Combined with debilitating coma due to malnutrition.

Including the symptoms of double images when he wakes up, the old gentleman hired by Fukuzawa Yukichi paid a lot of money to check him with various strange methods, and said with a complicated expression that he would give the child a pair of glasses Well, it's not that there are no such conditions.

Edogawa Ranpo: Quack!money back!

"It's normal for him not to see it..." Erye Tingming sighed, and said something fair to the doctor who was exposed by Edogawa Ranpo and cried and refunded the money, "If the blood of [Baimu] can be so easy It can be seen that your ancestors were about to be hunted down 800 years ago."

What's more, now is the age of mysterious decline, and the level of doctors on the mysterious side is just like that.

Edogawa pushed his glasses indiscriminately, his eyes behind the lenses were sharp, "I remember Baimu is a kind of monster? My parents are both human, although they are indeed so smart that they are not human at all..."

Recalling the past when he was easily teased by his parents when he was young, and once thought he was a little fool, Edogawa Ranpo stared at Futaba Tingming unhappily.

Erye Tingming explained to him gently: "That's why I said it was your ancestors and not your elders. Your ancestors about fifteen generations ago were not human beings, but a monster called Baimu."

"An adult Baimu can see the past, future, past, and present lives, and is considered to be a great demon who can glimpse fate and know everything."

"However, they were also hunted because of this ability, and they disappeared from the world a long time ago. Only a very small number of descendants born to humans still have their blood, but because it is too thin, basically they will not show it. What is different from ordinary people's characteristics."

"Once Baimu's blood is mixed with human beings, unless it is an adult offspring who has completely awakened the ability to return to the ancestors, it will not be detected by conventional means-this is also a manifestation of a self-protection mechanism. Returning to the ancestors is considered by many existences. They are all good things, not only the flesh and blood are nourishing and nutritious, but some parts of the body, such as the ancestral eyes of Baimu, are good raw materials for making magical instruments or refining medicine."

His tone was calm and gentle, as if it was a common thing to sell a rational life.

Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned and asked, "You mean, Ranpo is also..."

Erye Tingming affirmed his guess: "Yes, he is the ancestor of Baimu."

"I took the liberty of investigating a little bit about your family." Erye Tingming apologized to Edogawa Ranpo first, and then said, "I don't know if you know that your mother's great-great-great-grandmother was named Natsume before she got married. An offshoot of Natsume's family. Natsume is a family that inherits the blood of Hundred Eyes, and it is quite famous on the mysterious side. Basically, every generation of their family's direct line will give birth to atavistic offspring showing the characteristics of monsters."

Edogawa Ranpo puffed up his cheeks and corrected: "Ranpo-sama is a human being!"

Erye Tingming said: "Please don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming you, after all, I'm not a human being." He let out a big thunder lightly, as if he was discussing today's dinner menu, "Humans also have supernatural powers. Can you turn into an animal or something? You just take it as a part of your supernatural ability as a manifestation of atavistic talent, and you don't have to pay too much attention to it.

"Based on the frequency of intermarriage between monsters and humans, the vast majority of humans have a little bit of monster blood, it's just a question of how much."

Although the ability shown by Edogawa Ranpo is very similar to a high-level monster returning to the ancestors, but according to the information obtained from World Consciousness and Edogawa Ranpo's own situation, his ability is from the [-] eyes returning to the ancestors. The talent of fate and the innate excellent mind together constitute the power, and the two complement each other to enable him to exert an omniscient ability similar to a complete atavism.

It is roughly similar to subconsciously seeing the answer and then reversing the problem-solving process, which is different from the fully atavistic operation mechanism.

Baimu, who is truly atavistic, can see the overlapping state of the past, present and future. In their eyes, the whole world is composed of floating afterimages.

If it weren't for Gojo Satoru's six-eyed host who saw it at a glance because of same-sex repulsion, just like Edogawa Ranpo who can only see a little shadow but can't see it clearly, Erye Tingming would not be able to find it unless he looked carefully. He's not quite human.

Erye Tingming patiently gave psychological counseling to the minors who were suddenly expelled from half of the population, "Last time, it was because I didn't notice your situation. Your ability is similar to that of Wu, and you will be more sensitive to my existence, so let's take a look." You have been greatly impacted. In fact, with your level of atavism, as long as you don’t kill yourself to eat monsters and drink monster blood, you will basically maintain the status quo, and you won’t over-transform into monsters.”

As soon as these words came out, Fukuzawa Yukichi, who was originally stern and frowning, relaxed, and Edogawa Ranpo, who was tense and about to explode, was also calmed down. He immediately went to see Fukuzawa Yukichi, emphasizing that Said: "So Lord Ranpo is human! That white-haired bastard is talking nonsense!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi touched his head, "Well, he's talking nonsense."

A small smile appeared on Edogawa Ranpo's face, he finally opened the orange juice in his hand, and took a big gulp as if celebrating.

"Wu is really...causing you trouble this time." Erye Tingming omitted the middle adjective, everyone present here has seen Gojo Wu, and immediately understood how hard Gojo Wu is, even if he is very familiar with Gojo Wu. Fukuzawa Yukichi, who had objections, took the time to send a sympathetic look to Erye Tingming who raised a stinky cat.

With Gojo Satoru's comparison, how Fukuzawa Yukichi sees his own child is pleasing to the eye, he is simply a standard good baby worthy of being covered with little red flowers.

Seeing that the atmosphere was adjusted well, Erye Tingming tapped on the table and changed the topic.

"However, although the degree of atavism is not high, the blood of monsters will still affect your way of thinking and emotional cognition, and it will also hinder your normal emotion recognition ability, making you unable to understand some common-sense problems of ordinary humans. If you want to completely To live as a human, it is best to do some training to correct it and help you integrate into human society."

As soon as he said that he couldn't understand human common sense, Fukuzawa Yukichi immediately thought of the state he had just picked up Edogawa Ranpo.At that time, Ranpo Edogawa was indeed incompatible with human society. Even though it was influenced by the protective misleading of Edogawa Ranpo's parents and his own over-smart mind, his way of thinking when faced with some of the most basic human relationships ...

It's like taking an English paper in a math test and answering it in Japanese. There is something wrong in essence.

Fukuzawa Yukichi asked Futaba Tingming: "What kind of training do you need?"

During the time when Luanbu was by his side, he made a little progress compared to before, but it was impossible for him to stay by this child's side for the rest of his life.Fukuzawa Yukichi's requirements are not high, as long as he can take care of himself after he dies.

Edogawa Ranpo said angrily: "Master Ranpo is a perfect human being! You don't need to do any training!"

"There are quite a lot of ways." Erye Tingming replied, smiling and waving his long-planned golden hoe at Beet, "I personally recommend the writing method, which is relatively simple to get started and requires no equipment. The main work of this method Just reading books and writing observation notes, if you are detectives, you should encounter all kinds of people and events, and there are plenty of materials for writing.”

"Master Ranpo can see the truth at a glance!"

Edogawa Ranpo struggled like an elementary school student who didn't want to do his homework, and even slapped the table to increase his momentum.Futaba Tingming just smiled and took out a collection of Akutagawa Ryunosuke's short stories, turned to "In the Bamboo Forest" and handed it to Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Thanks to the almighty teacher Akutagawa.

"You can refer to this article for writing samples. The object you need to write is not the truth of the incident, but the people in the incident. If it is a murder case, you need to think about why the murderer killed. If there are witnesses who lie, You have to think about why he lies, you learn to put people's hearts in groups, put individuals in society, and learn to pry into the reality of the existence of 'human beings'."

"The truth of the case is something you can see at a glance, but the human heart," Erye Tingming nodded the young man's thin chest, his heart beating vigorously, "is the most complicated and difficult puzzle in the world .”

"Even your wisest and most powerful ancestors never dared to say they could read people's hearts."

Erye Tingming looked at Edogawa Ranbu's emerald eyes, and his voice was singing like a sea monster that lures sailors astray.

"The world's number one detective, do you want to accept this challenge?"
