Quanzai Cone

"Thank you, Dunjun." I took the suitcase from the white-haired boy, took out a pair of glasses from the side pocket, and put them on.

I was finally able to look directly at the other person, and I thanked Atsushi Nakajima again, who waved his hands again and again and smiled embarrassedly.

"It's just bringing your luggage from the hotel, it's not a big deal." He scratched his short hair, sat down on the chair again, and looked at my glasses curiously, "That's... like Mr. Ranpo Same, props to activate abilities?"

While waiting for him, I met a group of members of the detective agency, and I glanced at Ranpo Edogawa, who was eating snacks and was bored, and shook my head with a smile.

"I don't know much about Edogawa-kun's situation," I explained casually without any intention of hiding anything, "This pair of glasses is specially made to block the effect of my abilities."

Because it involved the private area of ​​supernatural powers, Dunjun shut up obediently, but I was still talking.

"It's not a high-tech device. Its only function is to broadcast the images within the line of sight on the lens in real time."

The famous detective who had finished eating a pack of snacks interjected: "Isn't this obvious at a glance? She hasn't looked at us directly since she entered the door, and she will immediately turn her eyes away when she glances at it occasionally—it's some kind of 'gaze' trigger. the supernatural power!"

I nodded in agreement.

"My ability is called 'Mind Reading'..." I briefly explained the effect of the ability and the conditions for its activation.

The detective agency fell into silent surprise again, Dun Jun couldn't help but whispered: "You can't just tell others about this kind of thing, right?"

I pursed my lips and smiled: "Usually I wouldn't say it, but I can 'see' that everyone is not a bad person."

Kunikida-kun, who was sitting across from me, had a serious face and warned with a headache: "Don't draw conclusions so simply, just in case!"

I just turned my eyes to look at Dazai-kun who straightened up and stared at me, and softened my tone sincerely.

"The most important thing is... Dazai-kun chose the detective agency." I said with a smile, "Although it may appear to be overly self-aware, but seeing his current state, I can't help but feel—"Great, this must be a A place to trust'."

There was a layer of ripples on that face that was so similar but different, and it disappeared quickly before I could tell what emotion was contained in it.Staring at me for a moment, Dazai-kun spoke in a subtle tone.

"You really like that guy."

I affirmed generously: "Yes, Zhijun is my chosen lover!"

Dazai-kun, whose complexion had changed a lot to the naked eye, let out a "tch", and suddenly left his position to come to me, and took my hand.

"Miss, give up on that guy who lost his girlfriend, come and die with me." Like a child who saw a new toy at the same table, he held my hand and said slowly without admitting defeat.

I smiled apologetically and opened my mouth: "I'm sorry, I..."

Kunikida-kun interrupted me with a suppressed angry voice: "Set the moral bottom line a little higher for me, Dazai! Don't say that to a lady who has a lover!"

He grabbed Dazai-kun, who was unwilling to be shaken, and went back across the table. In the background sound of "Miss kicked him to see me", "Kunikida-kun is too good", "Anyway, it's 'Dazai Osamu', he can do it and I can do it" , Steadily and reliably bring the topic back to business.

"Did anything happen before you separated from your lover?"

"I don't remember anything special..." I tried my best to ignore Dazai-kun who was chattering, and fell into deep thought.

The process of arriving by boat and checking into the hotel is normal, if I have to say...

"Before we returned to Yokohama, we did something unusual. Zhikun and I smashed down Umbrella's headquarters—" I was halfway through, but I felt the need to explain it all over again, so I automatically added, "That's A multinational corporation engaged in illegal experiments and virus development behind the scenes, the beginning of which can be traced back almost ten years ago..."

The disaster brought about by the awakening of abilities, derailed life, bloody revenge, the tug-of-war of pursuit and resistance around the world, and the headquarters building that finally collapsed in flames.

I omitted the irrelevant details, calmly summed up the story, tapped my glasses and wondered: "It's been a few months since the headquarters, and recently only Zhijun is busy with the remote control construction team to renovate the ruins and build the wedding venue .”

Quan Jinghua, who had been so quiet that she had no sense of presence, suddenly said, "Wedding?"

I looked at the little girl who leaned slightly and focused her eyes, and nodded with a smile.

"It's my wedding with Zhijun. In fact, I wanted to do it a few years ago, but it was a pity that half of the preparation was discovered by the hunting troops, and all the plans were scrapped." Thinking of the scene at that time, I couldn't help chuckling, "Zhijun Super angry, he said murderously, 'It's just right, let's smash their headquarters and build a venue on the ruins'!"

Xiao Jinghua blinked her eyes and seemed to want to see the remodeled venue. After a moment of silence, she told me in a low voice, "It's beautiful."

I accepted the compliment for Ji-kun, and turned my gaze back to Kunikida-kun.

He sorted out the information he had just recorded, and said to me: "I have a general understanding of the situation. Afterwards, the Detective Society will send people to investigate and try to complete your commission as soon as possible."

I got up to thank, pressed the tow bar of the suitcase, and was about to leave the seat, when Dazai-kun, who stopped making troubles, stopped me.

"Miss, where do you want to live until the commission is completed?"

"Look at the nearby hotels or homestays, I will choose a place that is convenient for the detective agency..." I replied.

Dazai-kun stood up, took the sand-colored windbreaker over his arms, and walked to my side.

"Don't be so troublesome, just live in the dormitory of the detective agency." He motioned for me to follow, his tone relaxed, "I will lend you my room, anyway, I don't usually live in the dormitory."

"Eh? Won't it bother you?" I subconsciously asked behind him.

"Not at all!" Dazai-kun waved his hand without turning his head, "Kunikida-kun, I'm going first~"

I dragged the suitcase across the threshold, and when I closed the door, I heard Kunikida-kun's roar from behind.

——"Dazai! Why didn't you move a single word in your report!"

... Sure enough, Dazai-kun is not the same as Zhi-kun. Zhi-kun seems to have been too busy before, and now he still has a bit of a workaholic attribute, and basically he will not let the things he has to deal with overnight.

Quietly complaining in the bottom of my heart, I followed Dazai-kun down the floor where the detective agency is located.

The moment I woke up from a light sleep, I realized something was wrong.

There is a problem with the conscious space.

The side effects of "mind reading" and the hidden worry about split personality made me rarely fall into a deep sleep after fully mastering the ability, and basically maintain a state where I can wake up at any time. My own thoughts quickly swept every corner.

[Number one, the arsenal? 】

no respond.

I sat in the dark for a few minutes, gave up waiting, threw off the bedding and turned over.

The lights illuminate the dormitory space, I put on my clothes and opened the suitcase, equipped the knives and guns one by one, staring at the white mist outside the glass window, frowning.

The mobile phone signal was cut off, I pressed the screen to put it away, and the moment I turned around, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

"Miss Xunguang!" Dun Jun's anxious voice came, "The situation is wrong, are you awake?!"

I walked over and opened the door in two or three steps, and said calmly, "It must be fog, I saw it."

Standing beside Dun Jun, Xiao Jinghua clenched the dagger in her hand, with a coldness that did not match her age.

"I can't contact anyone else, and the street is too quiet." She said decisively, looking up at me, "Let's go to the detective agency!"

I nodded slightly, raised my hand to load the shotgun, and ordered them calmly.

"I see, follow me closely—at least I'm the only adult present, I can't let you take the lead."
