After I divorced from chaos step

This is a glass bead that looks ordinary but is actually not ordinary.

What is ordinary is the material, what is extraordinary is that Mr. Jin dug it out from the bones on the top of Yueying Mountain.

On my ninth birthday, I went to Moon Ying Mountain alone, and when I woke up, I had supernatural powers, but I don't remember what happened that day at all.

There is no one to ask.

My fate was rewritten by Banran from that day on.The ordinary life that could see the end at a glance has been turned into twists and turns—until now, it has not turned any corner smoothly.

Because of my uncontrollable and amazingly destructive supernatural power, I was forced to separate from my friends and I couldn’t tell them the reason. I could only accept all the arrangements of Mr. Jin obediently. Whenever I had any objections, he only said "Do you want Are you being supervised by the government and completely losing your freedom?" It lightly made me swallow all my worries and grievances back into my stomach.

In hindsight, having done that, I never had real freedom either.

I often think, if I didn't have cheap legs that day, and I didn't have to climb Yueying Mountain on a whim, would I just be an ordinary happy housewife now instead of a housewife with a lot of worries?

My husband may not be a famous detective who fights against darkness and evil to the end, but just a small shop owner who opens at [-]:[-] in the morning and closes at [-]:[-] in the evening.

why me?

Why is it me?

Why would I be the one picked on by such a terrifying and uncontrollable superpower?

Even if you have to pick, you should pick a good person.

I am not smart, my physical fitness is not the best, and I do not have the courage to sink the boat and the determination to persevere for ten years.I am an ordinary person.

—I want to know what happened that day.

Ango Sakaguchi opened his eyes, and his expression became more serious against the background of the gold-rimmed glasses.

I asked nervously, "Mr. Sakaguchi, have you found anything out of your investigation?"

Rosalie, who was eating a popsicle, also said excitedly: "Yeah, what did An Wu-chan see? How did Qingxi-chan's best friend die?"

"Best friend?" Ango Sakaguchi repeated, his eyes fell on me, "Perhaps I should let you see for yourself the message that this glass bead conveys to me."

I guessed: "Do you have the ability to communicate with all objects?"

Liu Renji, who is very knowledgeable, could not find anything from this glass bead, but he trusted Ango Sakaguchi very much, saying that he would definitely be able to help me.

Ango Sakaguchi did not use a magnifying glass or other tools, but simply touched the glass bead, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, and then came to the result of the investigation.So I guess he has the ability to communicate with items.

"This is an industry secret." Ango Sakaguchi politely declined my question, and patted Rosalie next to her on the shoulder, "Rosalie-chan, can I do you a favor?"

"It's a great honor to be able to share the worries of An Wu-chan." Rosalie shook his arm and continued to act coquettishly, the corners of her lips were still stained with cream stains, "You think about getting back together." .”

I don't know what happened between the two of them, but it looks like they were boyfriend and girlfriend before they broke up and now Rosalie is asking to get back together.

Ango Sakaguchi refused without thinking: "I'm too busy with work, so I don't think about it at this stage."

Rosalie lowered her eyebrows and said dejectedly, "Can't I apologize?"

"Well, no."

"Where am I being coquettish?"

"It's against the law to be coquettish, and it's not allowed." Ango Sakaguchi spread his palm towards her, "Since you promised to help, please do what you say this time."

"Oh." Rosalie pouted at me again, "Qingxi sauce, give me your hand."

I obediently held out my hand.

Her palm was as soft and warm as Luanbu's.It seems that sunny and lively people have higher body temperature.

"Close your eyes."

I obediently closed my eyes.

It was pitch black before my eyes, and then a white mist like light smoke rose gradually.

Slowly, the fog lifted, and the surrounding scene became brighter.

I saw a boy carrying a backpack, about 11 years old, with short arms and short legs, and a big yellow duck was printed on the backpack.

It should be in summer, because the leaves on the branches were still emerald green, and the sun almost melted the boy, so he slumped on the ground angrily.

"I'm not going anymore, I can't walk anymore, uncle will carry me on my back." He said half playfully and half coquettishly.

I heard a gentle male voice say: "Okay, then come here."

"Hey, uncle is the best."

Then a middle-aged woman with short hair next to him immediately began to criticize him: "You made a fuss about going on an expedition with your uncle's expedition team, why can't you go up just halfway up the mountain? Are you still a man? "

"I don't care, I can't walk anymore." The boy blinked, "Otherwise, mom will carry me, mom, you have great strength."

The middle-aged lady snapped her fingers vigorously and made a clicking sound: "Do you believe that I can kick you off the cliff with one kick?"

"Sister Wen Dai, don't be so cruel to him." The gentle male voice persuaded, "I promised my brother-in-law that I will take good care of him. Come here, kid, uncle will carry you."

"okay!"

The corner of the boy's mouth is wide open, and his posture of climbing on other people's backs is particularly skillful. It seems that he often makes a fuss about demanding people's backs.

Such a child has been carefully protected since childhood and grew up in happiness.

When I saw his smile, I felt a lot more relaxed.

Although everyone's faces are blurred here, I can feel the relaxed and happy atmosphere among them.

But even so, this is not destined to be a simple mountain climbing, because what they are looking for is a treasure called Pandora'sbox.

The scene changed, they pitched a tent on the mountain and stayed temporarily.

The scene I saw the most was the boy holding a glass bead and sitting on a rock looking at the sky.

The gentle male voice said again: "If you are obedient and don't come to fight, uncle will give you a glass bead every day."

"Okay."

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, swinging his legs, carefree.

The camera zoomed out suddenly, and when they arrived at the excavation site on the other side, someone came over and asked, "Captain, there seems to be no Pandora'sbox found here, do you want to continue digging?"

"Keep digging. I found this with the ability of Mr. Naoko's search. It should be here." The man said slowly, "This dangerous thing must be found as soon as possible and handed over to the Supervision and Special Affairs Section for supervision."

"Yes! But Captain, is this box really that powerful?"

"It's called Pandora'sbox, of course it won't be a good thing." The male voice paused, and then said, "But it depends on who it is for."

……

"who are you?"

"It's so strange, this mountain didn't reach the top, why is there an extra section?"

Suddenly a girl appeared, wearing a pink skirt and holding a cake box in her hand.

—that's me!

It turned out that I climbed to the top of Yueying Mountain that had been hidden by fireflies that day.

Probably this group of people also has the ability to nullify supernatural powers like Dazai, so they broke through many obstacles and revealed the original appearance of this mountain.

I saw nine-year-old Yuan Qingxi standing beside the boy with a smile.

——When I saw her, I also wanted to call her Qingxi sauce.

Carefree Qingxi sauce, today is her last day of carefree.

"My name is Yuan Qingxi, and I am nine years old today." She compared the boy's height, "I am taller than you."

The boy stood on the rock in a hurry: "This way I will be taller than you."

"Cheat, I will too." She nimbly stood on the rock, "Look, I am still taller than you."

The boy was upset, and sat down cross-legged and began to eat snacks, stuffing his mouth full of potato chips, chewing them.

"What's your name?" she asked.

"I won't tell you." The boy turned his head while holding the potato chips, pretending to ignore her.

She was happy, and reached out to scratch the boy's creaking nest. The boy was very ticklish, choked on the potato chips while struggling, and coughed desperately.

"You are annoying." After a long time, he finally calmed down, "Go away."

"Brat, why are you talking to girls?" The middle-aged lady Wen Dai walked over, touched Qingxi's head, forcibly pulled out a pack of snacks from the boy's backpack, and handed it to her, "Excuse me Ah, he doesn't really have any playmates, would you like to make friends with him?"

"Yes, yes." She nodded like a rattle, "Today Yukimura went to Tokyo for a competition, and no one played with me. I'm so bored."

"Who is Yukimura?" The boy raised his face, "Is it very good? What competition did you participate in?"

"Yukimura, he will be the most handsome, cutest and smartest man in Japan in the future," she showed undisguised pride, "I'll tell you quietly, he will marry me in the future."

"I don't think that's possible." The boy curled his lips in distaste, "Why should you be so good?"

"What do you mean?" She rolled up her sleeves and continued to scratch him without saying a word.

"Stop it." He was extremely ticklish, and finally gave up, "Okay, he's married to you, don't scratch me."

"That's right." She waved her hand and took out half a piece of birthday cake from the bag she brought, "Do you want to eat it?"

A typical slap to a red date.

But the boy loves it.

The cake was battered and mushy from being bumped in the bag, but the sweet and greasy aroma still attracted the boy.

"Eat slowly, don't choke, I've never seen you so greedy, even more greedy than Marui, really greedy." She patted the boy's back lightly, and her voice became gentle, "I will All the birthday cakes are ready for you."

The boy's mouth was covered with cream, but his expression was very serious: "You must mean what you say."

The person next to him was overjoyed and said jokingly, "Yo yo yo, it's a private appointment for life."

"Freeze said."

"Little girl, don't you want to marry the most handsome, cutest and smartest man in Japan in the future? Do you want to give this kid a chance. He is a potential stock."

He and her said in unison: "No way!"

The two took a step back each in disgust.

She snorted: "he's not as tall as me, at least he should be as tall as me."

He also snorted: "She is so fierce, even more fierce than my mother, so I don't want it!" After speaking, he was slapped on the head, and Wen Dai cursed softly: "Stinky brat, what are you talking about?"

Seeing his aggrieved look, she took out a handful of candies from her pocket and gave him: "Here, don't be angry."

He was still angry, but took the candy and ate it happily.

She patted him on the shoulder: "It's impossible for the two of us, because I like smart, handsome, upright and kind people."

"Although I don't want you," he swallowed the strawberry candy in his mouth, "but what point do I not meet? You have never seen my smart, handsome, upright and kind-hearted! Don't jump to conclusions!"

His aggressive look made her speechless for a moment, she thought for a while and said, "Here, you are not as tall as me."

He wrinkled his nose: "Then as long as it's taller than you, it's fine?"

"Theoretically, it's okay. But I'm going home today, bye~" She was about to leave when he grabbed her hand, and then he leaned over and dug out a bottle of bozi soda from his schoolbag and handed it to her. "It seems that you said it was your birthday just now, take it." He tilted his head and whispered, "Happy birthday to the vicious Yuan Qingxi."

"Don't call me by my first name. By the way, I don't know your name yet?"

"I won't tell you." He stuck out his tongue at her, "Slightly slightly, I won't tell you."

"This is not fair!"

"It's fair, you can guess! The fierce Yuan Qingxi!"

……

"What is this?" The boy looked at the box in front of him and asked, "You know the fierce Yuan Qingxi?"

She shook her head: "I don't know, there may be food in it."

"This is not something to eat." The gentle male voice explained, "This is something that children can't touch."

The box was only the size of a palm, and it was golden in color. After washing off the mud on it, they put it away and prepared to leave Yueying Mountain.

She was also saying goodbye to them, and waved to them from a distance: "Uncles, aunts, and the little guy whose name I don't know, I'll go home first, will you come tomorrow? Little guy, I'll take my grandma to do it for you." Beef Burger! If it tastes good, tell me your name."

Ms. Wen Dai asked the boy: "Why don't you tell people your name? We won't come here tomorrow. Your uncle's work is over, and your father is coming back from the police station for vacation."

"I won't tell her." He was stubborn. "I'll tell her when I grow taller than her."

Very strange, it should have been a normal evening.

I felt full of malice.

Where is the problem?

——The girl's last smiling face.

——The moment the boy secretly opened the box.

——Golden light flying out of the box.

——That angry and remorseful "quick stop"!

—Captain, run!The ability was released by him!It's looking for a host!But it is impossible to have a host!

—We're all going to die here!

—Help!

I can't see clearly, because my vision is blurred and it's all bloody.

There were shouts, shouts, and wailing.

I don't know how long it took, but the chaos in front of me finally calmed down.

The blood color settled down and flowed on the ground, scattered corpses with missing arms and legs.

Then there is the scene of the young Yuan Qingxi falling from the edge of the cliff.

The boy fell down on the edge of the cliff, staring blankly at his hands. The lady Wen Dai who was next to him rushed over and hugged him, saying over and over again: "Huanbu, it's all right, it's all right now."

... Random steps.

I finally got a good look at his face.

He is exactly the same as those pictures of my husband when he was a child in the storage room on the second floor of our house.

Because this is himself, Edogawa Ranpo.

At the end of his line of sight was his remorseful expression. My mother-in-law, whom I had never met, gently put her hands on his eyes, covering his sight.

"Lanbu, don't look at it, it will pass."

……

The story ends here.

I have never met the man with the gentle male voice.I guess what Ango Sakaguchi was looking at was his memory.

I covered my heart, I can't express my feelings at this moment.

When I was nine years old, Edogawa Ranpo opened the treasure box called Pandora'sbox, releasing a devastating superpower, which changed my fate ever since.

16 years later, Ranpo Edogawa held up an umbrella for me in the rain. He held down my hand, prevented me from using supernatural powers, and helped me find my wallet.

"My name is Edogawa Ranpo, remember this name."

That day, he compared his height to me under the umbrella and smiled as brightly as he did when he was young.
