Because I'm too afraid of pain, it's worth all the looks

Before Ming Qiu was about to pull his hair, Tanizaki Junichiro called for the rescuer, who was still holding a paper bag in his arms, which was filled with all kinds of snacks and snacks, which was extremely rich.

so familiar...

Ming Qiu quickly remembered the other party, and said, "It's the one I met last time..."

Junichiro Tanizaki was taken aback, "Does Ms. Aki know Mr. Ranpo?"

"I also met at the dim sum shop."

The detective who squinted his eyes seemed to recall something, pointed at Ming Qiu and said, "Ah, it's Miss Key who was entangled by misfortune."

Ming Qiu's body immediately became unbearably stiff, perhaps because he was so frightened that his pupils shrank.

Why is this word again, the other person might just be joking casually, but she already has an unnatural sense of fear.

Hearing this special address, Naomi approached curiously and said, "What is 'Miss Key'?"

"Isn't that what you call her?" Mr. Detective shook the paper bag in his hand, and said, "Akey, akey's, isn't it the key? Don't you think so, Miss Key?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Qiu, Mr. Ranpo prefers to joke..." Junichiro Tanizaki hurriedly smoothed things over, turned around and looked at Ming Qiu, only to find that she was just sitting there blankly, as if her soul had been sucked out. "Miss Qiu?"

Zhimei held Ming Qiu's hand with some concern, and asked, "What's wrong with Miss Qiu? Her hand suddenly became very cold..."

Edogawa Ranbu sat in front of her, staring directly at Ming Qiu with emerald green eyes, and said, "It shouldn't be a simple consultation, right? If you want to seek help from the Armed Detective Agency, tell all the truth. Concealment is required. Armed Detective Agency will not help if it is concealed."

Ming Qiu lowered his head, clenched his clothes tightly with both hands, and finally said: "As you said, I am the 'key'."

The Tanizaki brothers and sisters were taken aback, and they made surprised voices at the same time: "Huh?"

"That's why Port Mafia wants to take you under its command."

Tanizaki Junichiro asked cautiously: "The thing about the white tiger..."

Ming Qiu raised his hand, pointed to his eyes, and said, "The premise of the contract is to keep it secret."

Those beautiful eyes seemed to have swirls, making people involuntarily attracted to her.

A unanimous answer came from the opposite side:

"Observe the contract."

Naomi covered her mouth in surprise, "Hey, what happened just now... what did I just say..."

Edogawa Ranpo said solemnly: "Is it your ability just now?"

Ming Qiu sighed, and said: "I just learned that if you violate the contract, you will lose all your ability to act." She said very sincerely: "I'm sorry, this matter is really important to me, including that Take the child's safety as a promise to me."

This is what she asked Weber on the phone overnight, because ordinary people don't have magic seals, and if they want the other party not to break the contract, they must use hypnosis and suggestion magic.

The so-called "losing all mobility" is nothing more than being unable to move under the influence of hypnosis and suggestion, and it does not cause any harm to the human body.

"Miss Qiu..."

Although it is a mandatory contract, looking at the helpless and slender Miss Oda in front of me, there is no way to make people hate her.

"About me, as the detective said just now, I am the 'key', and the corresponding 'lock' is the person who has the ability of the white tiger. One of the common meanings of our existence is to protect the book and the special ability. An omnipotent 'wish letter' that can be closely related, which exists as a kind of double insurance."

Edogawa leaned on the sofa in disorder, and made a voice of interest: "Oh——"

"'Wishing Letter'?" Zhimei looked at her elder brother and asked, "Does my brother know?"

Tanizaki Junichiro shook his head and said: "I was just a loose supernatural power user before, and supernatural powers have been treated as a secret thing until now. I have never heard of the existence of this kind of 'wish book'."

Ming Qiu sat upright, and said solemnly: "The following is my commission to the Armed Detective Agency, please help me control the power of the white tiger, and don't let too many people discover this secret."

Edogawa looked at the ceiling in disorder, and said, "If someone finds out, the 'key' and 'lock' will end badly."

"Yes..." Ming Qiu sighed, and said, "I don't mean to hide it now, but I think Mr. Detective, you should also know about me and mimic."

"Is it that supernatural organization that fled to foreign countries? They were not given by the port Mafia..." Junichiro Tanizaki stopped talking, and then showed an expression of disbelief, and said: "Could it be Ms. Qiu... ?”

"That's right..." Ming Qiu lowered his head and said, "Afterwards, I met Mr. Natsume, and thought that the Special Agents Division had entered the port of Mafia... You should understand that the Special Agents Division can't be dispatched. The man who can protect me and my family all the time, the same goes for the Armed Detective Agency, the opposite is the port Mafia, if I enter there temporarily, my family and I can be protected, as long as the five years are up, my family and I will be safe completely freed."

Although her expression didn't change much, just sitting there could already make people feel the great pain hidden in it.

They used to be companions, but she carried more things on her body than others.

"Miss Qiu..." Zhimei took her hand and said, "Is it really okay?"

Ming Qiu showed a smile, pointing to Edogawa Ranpo: "Mr. Detective's prophecy is right—I was chosen by misfortune."

Edogawa Ranbo opened his eyes and said, "So is this okay? Leave your fate to others?"

"Of course I have my own ideas. This is the cunning of the 'book'. People who become the 'keys' and 'locks' will desperately try to survive." Ming Qiu sighed softly: "More than anyone else People want to live in this world... so they don't want to be obliterated."

Seeing the somewhat heavy expressions of the Tanizaki brothers and sisters, Ming Qiu just asked again: "Then can the Armed Detective Agency accept my commission?"

"There are ways to help you, but we can't decide." Edogawa Ranbu looked at her, and said, "It depends on the president's decision."

"I understand... I'll come back later."

"Well, but there is no need to come again, after all, the president should be back."

As soon as Edogawa Ranpo finished speaking, the sound of the door being pushed open came from outside, Ming Qiu blinked, poked his head out curiously, and saw the silver-haired president of the Armed Detective Agency at first sight.

Coupled with traditional costumes, at first glance, it looks like a tall and strong samurai.

Although it is completely different from Mori Ogai's type, it looks a little stressful at first glance.

"Hi, my name is Aki Oda."

Mr. President looked at her seriously, and said: "I have long admired your name, Miss Oda."

The two sat in the living room and looked at each other. After a while, Edogawa Ranpo said, "You should understand, because you just used that contract for us, so we didn't explain it."

Ming Qiu clasped his hands together, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Luanbu waved the biscuit in his hand and said, "You should be able to trust the reputation of the president, right? That kind of contract cannot be used against the president."

"Okay okay..."

Naomi couldn't help but whispered: "I always feel that Ms. Qiu is very imposing towards Mr. Ranbu, she just looked very powerful..."

Junichiro Tanizaki replied to his sister in a low voice, "Mr. Ranpo may have exposed Ms. Aki, and Ms. Aki is afraid of him..."

After she roughly explained the matter, the president was silent for a while, and said, "Mafia at the port..."

Ming Qiu sat obediently, and said: "Well... Although my current position should not be convincing, I still ask you to find a way to help that child. Mr. Detective just said that Mr. President, you have a way to help him... "

The other party thought about it for a while, and then said: "Does Miss Oda have her own solution to this matter?"

"So far, I really don't know how to use the 'lock' and 'key' to get the 'book', otherwise I would have already figured out a way to take it out and hand it over to the Ability Secret Service for protection, so that I can relax a bit "Ming Qiu spread his hands and said: "Dun's situation is also very special, his ability is out of control now, sooner or later there will be a day when he can't keep it secret, if he is brought under the protection of the Armed Detective Agency, don't worry The ambition of Port Mafia."

"May I ask Ms. Oda, how is that boy doing?"

It was rare not to hear such words as "lock" and "key" again. Ming Qiu felt much more comfortable, and then briefly introduced: "Dun is a child from an orphanage in Yokohama. He has a very good personality. He concealed this matter, and I also accidentally ran into Dun's ability to fail when I accompanied my children to the summer practice, so I discovered his specialness."

The president was silent for a while, and said: "My ability is called 'Superior People Don't Create', which can be used to restrain the ability of the person with the ability, so that the ability will not be superior to the person who uses it. I can help Nakajima boy."

Ming Qiu was a little surprised and said, "It's so special, it's like a special ability born to become a leader."

Osamu Dazai's ability to invalidate other people's abilities is of course very special, but it has also become a representative of "treating the symptoms but not the root cause". Under the circumstances, this kind of ability that can bind the ability is much more precious. It can be eradicated at one time, and adverse reactions are rejected.

"But there is a restrictive condition, that is, the object of use must be my subordinate."

Ming Qiu blinked and said: "That is to say, if you want to work hard to change Dun's current situation, you must make him your subordinate."

"That's true." The president said solemnly, "But the world of supernatural beings is very dangerous. I believe Ms. Qiu is also very clear about this, so let's discuss about the boy Nakajima later—"

"Find a job for Dun in advance—" Ming Qiu nodded his cheek with his index finger, and then said, "I don't think the problem is that big, Dun really hopes that he can help others, or that he hopes to become a useful person. The meaning of survival, if it is in the Armed Detective Agency, I believe that everyone can not only help him, but also guide him."

After finishing speaking, she raised her mobile phone and said, "Of course, we still have to respect Dun's opinion."

The answer given by Atsushi Nakajima is of course yes.

He wanted to prove to the dean that he could live hard and even help others.

After the president arranged to start preparations for Atsushi Nakajima's entrance test, Junichiro Tanizaki couldn't help sighing: "Miss Qiu is really a gentle and enthusiastic person..."

Ming Qiu was a little surprised, "Huh?"

"If it's someone else with supernatural powers, they might consider getting rid of Ton-kun directly, so that it will be done once and for all." Tanizaki Junichiro spread his hands and said, "But Ms. Qiu is still thinking about helping Ton-kun."

Ming Qiu looked up at the sky, and said: "Because I want to make the best solution, and I want...he to see the correct way to really help others."

"Miss Qiu must have a very important person."

Ming Qiu reluctantly admitted: "It's kind of... right..."

"Sure enough." Tanizaki Junichiro affirmed: "It's as important as Naomi to me! It's a warm feeling!"

Ming Qiu: "..." It's actually different...

Should it be said that they are two brothers and sisters? They both have the same thinking and are inexplicably convincing...
