In the early morning, the moon completely fell into the coastline, the sky was pitch black, and the fishing boats had already set sail before the sun rose.

"...?"

The fisherman heard the sound of something breaking, and when he was puzzled, the hull suddenly shook, and something transparent wrapped around the hull, and the iron sheet twisted and shattered under the pressure. The fisherman who fell to the ground was terrified. He looked at the transparent tentacles in front of him.

clack clack-

The hull was overwhelmed and torn in two.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

There was a scream, and the blue water was dyed deep red.

As if full, the huge creature left the wreckage of the fishing boat aside, dived, and slowly swam towards the distant land.

"Another victim has appeared."

Yosano Akiko had a serious expression: "At [-]:[-] this morning, the wreckage of a fishing boat was salvaged. In the cabin, the remains of the corpse were found."

"This is already the fifth one." Kunikida Doppo frowned, "There are no rules, coming and going without a trace..."

How can this person find it? !

Edogawa Ranpo asked: "What happened to the Port Mafia?"

"There has been an order to prohibit going to sea." Oda Sakunosuke replied, "The government has also issued the same order."

"It was released after the fifth victim appeared... Tsk." Yosano Akiko frowned.

"The kings are coming here." Fukuzawa Yukichi put the phone back, with a serious expression, "News from the Shishiin Temple, the monster will land in Yokohama in three days."

All of a sudden, the conference room was silent.

"We can't let it land." Edogawa Ranpo opened his emerald eyes. "It feeds on humans. Once it lands on land, the consequences will be disastrous."

"咚咚-"

Haruno Qiluozi's voice sounded outside the door: "President, someone is looking for Mr. Ranpo."

"...Looking for me?" Edogawa ranpo blinked.

"Yeah... wait, you can't go in..."

"excuse me."

The familiar voice came to Edogawa Ranpo's ears, and the detective stood up suddenly, looking at the boy who pushed the door and entered.

The black-haired boy was wearing casual clothes and a beige short coat, holding a document bag in his hand.

"What's wrong with your eyes?!" Edogawa blurted out, rolled up his sleeves and was ready to go out.

"Wait, wait, Mr. Ranpo!" Naturally, it was obvious that Edogawa Ranpo wanted to beat someone—as for who to beat, Shuji Tsushima hurriedly stopped him, "It doesn't matter now! And I It's not invisible anymore!"

Just in case, he now has [Range Perception] turned on all day, so it's really not invisible!

"Tsushima...?" Fukuzawa Yukichi was taken aback.

"I am Shuji Tsushima, who was ordered by the second king, the fifth king, and the sixth king to explain the situation." Shuji Tsushima explained why he appeared here, "Everyone who is king will meet tomorrow Arrive in Yokohama. At [-] o'clock this afternoon, Mr. Fukuzawa Yukichi will lead the core members of the Armed Detective Agency to the central meeting place. The Port Mafia and the Ability Secret Service Division will also participate, and we will explain the current situation at that time."

The boy handed the document bag in his hand to Fukuzawa Yukichi: "This is the meeting material."

"...When did you have anything to do with the king?" Edogawa groaned, feeling a little more relaxed.

Several kings have come, and it should be no problem to deal with a sea monster.

"..." Shuji Tsushima's expression was tangled for a moment, not intending to hide his good friend, he whispered in Edogawa Ranpo's ear.

"My mother is the granddaughter of the King of Gold."

Edogawa Ranpo: Σ(°△°|||)︴

"...I only found out about it recently." Shuji Tsushima twitched the corners of his mouth, "I used to be so big backstage."

Edogawa Ranpo first gasped, and then gloated.

Hmph, bastard Nakahara Chuya, Xiuzhi is loved by someone!Not bad for you at all!

"The materials have been delivered, so I'll go first." Shuji Tsushima said to Edogawa Ranbu, "I still have to go to the beach."

"Okay." Edogawa waved his hands in disorder, "Be careful."

"Well, don't worry."

Shuji Tsushima smiled.

At least for now, he won't let himself have trouble.

After lunch, she was escorted by Sister Mary to the central meeting place. The brown-haired woman was wearing a nun's attire, but she was carrying a huge ax behind her back. She glanced at the other people sitting at the conference table.

Sitting on the left are Mori Ogai, Ozaki Momiji, and Nakahara Chuya from the port mafia; and Taneda Santou and Sakaguchi Yasugo who are separated by a seat;

Sitting on the right are Fukuzawa Yukichi, Edogawa Ranpo, Kunikida Doppo, Yosano Akiko from the Armed Detective Agency, and Oda Sakunosuke.

Shuji Tsushima walked to the front of the conference table, and Mary stood behind him.

"It's the first time I've met...Although it's not the first time I've met some people," Shuji Tsushima smiled, "I'm Shuji Tsushima, and I'm now the spokesperson for the Sixth King."

Mori Owai's eyes darkened slightly.

"Then without further delay," Shuji Tsushima nodded slightly at Mary, who opened the slideshow, "Let's talk about the monster that will land in Yokohama in three days' time."

"What kind of creature is that? I think everyone has doubts in their hearts." Shuji Tsushima went straight to the point, "That is any species that does not exist on the earth. We call it-[extraterrestrial life]."

"They have strong resilience. They will regenerate without breaking the core. They feed on humans. Once they are allowed to eat, they can recover from the injuries on their bodies."

"That is to say, it cannot be allowed to land." Edogawa Ranpo continued.

"Yes."

The slides changed pages.

"They can be invisible, and they can be entrenched on human beings—that is, parasitic. At that time, it will be even more difficult to find their traces."

"The weakness is the core..." Taneda Shantouhuo frowned, "Can you know the location of the core?"

However, Shuji Tsushima shook his head: "The core position of each one is different, and the one we met may be the strongest one."

On the small map that only Shuji Tsushima could see, two golden spots of light overlapped.

Kunikida Doppo raised his hand.

"You say."

"Since we can be invisible, and we have to fight at sea," Kunikida Doppo frowned, "how can we make it invisible? How can we fight at sea?"

Among the people present, only Nakahara Chuya of the port mafia has the ability to fight in the air, and most of the rest are auxiliary abilities. Apart from Nakahara, the only ones with frontal combat capabilities are Koyo Ozaki and Yukichi Fukuzawa. , and the former killer Oda Sakunosuke.

"I know a little bit of magic," Shuji Tsushima explained, "I will make a temporary foothold on the sea...don't worry, I won't let you fall into the sea."

"And I have to ask Dr. Xie Ye to do something."

Akiko Yosano understood: "It's treatment."

"Yes, the casualties will be uncertain once the battle starts." Shuji Tsushima affirmed her answer, "I hope you can lead a medical team, and Miss Mary will give you the list of members."

Sister Marie nodded to Yosano Akiko.

Yosano Akiko did not refuse: "I understand."

"As for the frontline command," Shuji Tsushima turned his gaze to Mori Ogai, "Mr. Mori will be in charge."

"You really trust me, Mr. Xiuzhi." Mori Ou pretended to sigh.

Shuji Tsushima smiled: "For Yokohama, Mr. Mori is as good as anyone present."

"As for me, there is also Mr. Ranpo, who is the commander of the large army in the rear."

"Okay~ I'm fine~" Edogawa Ranpo gave an OK gesture to Shuji Tsushima.

"Then, the remaining matters and precautions are written in the document. If there are no other questions, the meeting will come to an end."

After deliberately waiting for a while, the young man standing on the main seat continued to speak when no one spoke.

"Then, disband."

The author has something to say:

Mengmengzai: (Looking at the strategy manual given by my mother)...Anyway, it’s over without saying anything!
