Don't worry, Yokohama is about to end

"All in all, welcome to Lord Ranpo's thought palace—"

In the huge library where the sky cannot be seen, the little boy in the dark green police suit raised the brim of his hat, he spread his arms to both sides, and the cloak on his shoulders followed in a handsome arc in the air.

The corner of the boy's mouth was raised high, like a proud little king announcing to his subjects, "You can be honored, you are the first visitors here!"

"No, maybe it should be the first and second." When Xiao Luanbu said this, his narrowed eyes looked at the orange kitten meaningfully.

Zhongyemao stared at the black-haired boy silently without any reaction.

MindPalace, thinking palace.

Naturally, the Central Plains has heard about this.

It is a crown of thought that belongs only to the top.

Insight, migration, creativity, people who can see the truth within 30 seconds will undoubtedly have a different life.

In theory, everyone has their own thinking space.

Numbers, symbols, flavors, formulas...

The brain's perception system sorts out and screens these complex and massive data, and then stores them in categories. Over time, a unique memory space is formed.

The only difference is that some people's memory space may only be the size of a cubic box, while some people's memory space is a warehouse.

But such a large and sophisticated palace can even integrate others into it, which is absolutely rare in the Central Plains.

"Of course, because Ranpo-sama is a super genius!"

The black-haired boy seemed to see through Chuya Mao's thoughts, and said loudly, "Here, Ranpo-sama is omnipotent!"

As if to prove what he said was true, the super genius grabbed a dozen brightly colored ice cream cones out of the air.

Each cylinder is also sprinkled with finely diced chocolate, exuding a sweet chill in the air.

"That's right, Lord Ranbu is super powerful!"

A certain silver-haired girl echoed without any sense of disobedience, and rushed over to grab a cup of cone, "That... Ranpo sauce, can you give me the one with four green balls, it looks delicious .”

"Oh! You are very discerning. This was the latest flavor of mint sweet apple at that time. Only 500 pieces were sold in a limited edition!"

The little boy glanced at Mei with approval, and then took out more desserts amidst the cheers from the silver-haired girl.

Pudding, chocolate brown, macaron... Countless sweets popped out of the library floor like Phorupuro, and two sweet tooth lovers were buried in the middle, like two hamsters overwhelmed by happiness.

Take a bite here, chew a piece there, and don’t forget to exchange a few words about your aftertaste halfway through.

The only Nakahara Chuya who remembers business: "..."

Snapped.

A vein popped up on the orange kitten's forehead.

Facing the two naive ghosts who turned into hamsters, Chuya Mao took a deep breath, and finally when Mei excitedly waved to him and shouted "Chuya, come here, there is even eel-flavored cat food here", couldn't bear it. With a vertical stroke, a Maomao fist hit the silver-haired girl's forehead fiercely, "Is it time to exchange desserts now! Idiot Mei!"

"And you, an idiot, are more or less on guard. How dare you eat anything of unknown origin? Tell me to pay attention to the occasion!"

"Well...it hurts!"

It was so violent that he was hit hard, and Mei Zhishang covered her forehead in pain, screaming for pain repeatedly.

Staring at the stars, the silver-haired girl suddenly realized something, turned her head abruptly, and stared at the orange kitten with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Do, what?"

Under Mei's piercing gaze, the orange cat took a step back uncomfortably.

Then the next second, he was excitedly held by the girl with two paws, "Chuya, you can talk!"

"Huh? What kind of strange words are you using? I was originally... huh?"

Zhongyuan Zhong was also taken aback, and he was slow to react. From just now, he spoke human language again, not meow.

But why suddenly?

Zhongyuan Zhongye immediately looked at the owner of the thinking palace.

"What's so surprising, it's not a matter of course."

The black-haired boy who was eating at the side dug a big scoop of ice cream and stuffed it into his mouth, then puffed up his cheeks and mumbled, "I've said it all, Lord Ranbu is omnipotent!"

"It's amazing! It's great! Master Ranpo is the highest!" Mei Shang applauded the crazy seal, and turned into Ranpo Push on the spot.

"Ah, but then again..." The silver-haired girl who was blowing rainbow fart paused, looked at Nakahara Chuya and said, "Chuya, I didn't expect your voice to be like this, it feels a little strange."

Wonderful...what an inexplicable and wonderful description.

Chuya Mao glanced at Mei silently.

Mei Zhishang, who has successfully cultivated a tacit understanding with her cat, instantly understood the meaning of Chuya's eyes, "That's right, Chuya is only one month old now, so I thought the voice would be more tender."

For the convenience of comprehension, Mei also thoughtfully raised her finger and gave an example, "Well, it's like Ranpo-chan!"

Zhong Yuan's eyes twitched, and he said expressionlessly: "My voice is not young enough, I'm really sorry."

"Hey hey, it's okay!"

Mei didn't hear the sarcasm in the cat's words, but instead encouraged him to pat Chuya Mao on the back, "Nakaya's voice is also very good! Very energetic!"

"Uh..." Forget it, why did he discuss his voice with this idiot so seriously.

Sure enough, is childishness contagious?

Thinking of this, a certain gravitational force Nakahara Nakaya stepped back silently, keeping a distance from the two childish ghosts.

Mei scratched her head and smirked.

Instead, Luanbu glanced at the cat-shaped gravity user, and suddenly said, "No, Mr. Cat is not an ordinary cat. In fact, he has two..."

Before Ranbu finished speaking, he was interrupted loudly by Chuya Zhongyuan, "Ah! I'm a little thirsty all of a sudden. Is there any water?"

"Huh? Water? Chuya, wait a minute, I seem to be here."

Mei was taken aback for a moment, but she really turned her head to turn over the clear water.

[Tsk, clumsy technique. 】

The black-haired boy looked at the frightened cat.

【It’s rare that Master Ranbu wants to help you, so forget about being ungrateful, anyway, you will regret it later. 】

There is no telepathy in Zhongyuan, so of course he can't understand the other party's meaning, and he feels that this detective kid is a million points uneducated.

[Shut up, brat, if she finds out, do I still have face to speak of! 】

The orange cat glared at the little boy.

Well... I have to say, our adult men? The Central Plains cadres are still a bit of an idol.

After all, if you are a cat, some humiliating actions are not considered social death. If you change to a human perspective, wouldn't he lose half of his majesty caused by gravity!

Thinking of this, a certain ochre-colored cat sadly touched the top of its bald, bah, slightly short-haired head.

I don't really understand the strange baggage psychology of adults.

The little boy shrugged and let the orange cat change the subject.

Seeing that there was an exchange of ghosts, she really took Chuya Meow's excuse seriously, and Mei, who looked down for water the whole time, didn't find anything unusual.

"Here, Chuya, the water you want."

The silver-haired girl handed clear water to the orange kitten.

Considering the inconvenience of the cat's claws, Mei unscrewed the bottle cap very considerately in the middle of the journey, and asked the almighty Ranpo for a small bowl, poured the water and pushed it in front of the cat.

"Uh..." Zhongyuan Zhong also looked at Qingshui in front of him and fell silent.

Oops, good, my conscience hurts a bit.

"What's the matter? Chuya, don't you want to drink it? Ah, it's better to switch to lukewarm water?"

Mei Zhishang squatted beside Chuya Mao and asked softly.

Speaking of it...it seems that I have heard that the stomach of kittens is not good, so let's change it to warm water.

The silver-haired girl was thinking thoughtfully, just as she stretched out her hand to change a bowl, a cat's paw pressed on Mei's wrist.

"No need! That's fine, thank you, thank you." Zhong Yuan Zhong also said loudly.

He pressed his right paw hard on the girl's wrist, the cobalt blue cat pupils avoided looking at the girl's face, the whole cat wanted to dig a hole and bury itself in it in embarrassment.

Ah, to control such a little girl like this, you are really going back to the Central Plains as you live.

Zhongyuan Meow, who was introspection, also buried her head in drinking water listlessly, while Zhishang Mei held her face and looked at it with a smile.

The atmosphere was incomparably harmonious, but Luanbu on the side seemed to have noticed something, raised his eyebrows amusedly, and quietly took a bite of the watermelon.

Seeing that a solemn and serious discussion was about to turn into a tea party with a strange style of painting, in the end, Mr. Nakahara Nakaya, who was full of water, turned the tide firmly and turned the topic back to the main topic.

"So, kid, you pulled us in because you have a more important purpose, right?"

Nakahara Chuya's words made Tomogami Mei and Ranpo eat snacks at the same time, and the two put down the half-eaten cake one after the other.

The atmosphere became heavy in vain.

The smile disappeared from Ranpo's face.

From the moment they met, this willful and childish young boy looked at Mei Zhishang calmly. At this moment, the childishness faded from his eyes, revealing a sharp and mature side.

"This kind of thing, you guys should know it well." Edogawa Ranpo said to Mei.

Mei was taken aback for a moment, but she was a little unresponsive to the young boy's unexpected questioning.

At the same time, the orange kitten, who always seemed to dislike girls, stepped in front of Mei.

Zhongye Mao stared at Ranbu with a hidden warning in his eyes.

He turned his back to the silver-haired girl, like a silent cat knight.

In the silent confrontation, a hand landed on the orange cat's back, gently smoothing the cat's bristling fur.

Zhongyuan Zhong also looked back at Mei, and found that the latter seemed to have expected it, nodded and said, "Well, you are the child of that lady, right?"

"From the first moment I saw you, I noticed...you guys look alike."

The little black-haired boy didn't speak, still staring at Mei silently.

Such an undisguised stare, obviously without any words, but it is still like a kind of reproach, also like a silent questioning, like a sharp sword slashing at Mei.

Mei picked up Chuya Mao and moved him to the side, then the silver-haired girl raised her head, met the orphan's gaze without avoiding it, and said firmly, "I'm sorry, I couldn't save your mother."

"This is my responsibility, no matter what you want to do to me, I will have no complaints."

The atmosphere in the data space completely cooled down.

Xiao Ranbu stared at Mei with sharp eyes.

And Nakaya Mao, who was standing beside Mei, frowned in disapproval. He looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end he kept his mouth shut, didn't say a word, and just squatted quietly beside the girl.

Time seems to stand still

I don't know how long after that, the black-haired boy suddenly turned his eyes away, and said in a calm voice, "Don't get me wrong, that's my mother's own choice, Mr. Ranbu...you don't just dare to vent your anger on good people and unreconciled despicable people."

"I knew a long time ago that this is the necessary ending."

Ever since he voluntarily chose to become an AI, he has been waiting for this day.
