I'm on the scramble

Half an hour before the screaming happened.

Saying goodbye to the excited girls, the men of the Armed Detective Agency returned to their rooms to rest.After traveling all the way for so long, and tossing back and forth in the hot spring consumed too much energy, everyone felt tired for a while.

It's just that a young man in a bandage is obviously very energetic.

He lay on his bed, thinking about the possible scenario of the pair of tormenting childhood sweethearts being alone in the same room at this moment, just thinking about it was very interesting.

In order to match this couple of elementary school students in their detective agency, everyone has spent a lot of effort.If nothing happens tonight, I'm sorry for the opportunity specially created by a group of people.

"I don't know if Miss Li and Mr. Ranpo are getting along happily now~"

The young man's flirtatious tone made people blush with shame and heartbeat for no reason. His calf was still dangling back and forth, and his bathrobe slipped off without knowing it, revealing two bandaged ankles, which were set off by the quiet night. gas.

However, his roommates are not straight steel men who would appreciate this kind of picture at all. Not only that, but if they fail, they will implement the "will of steel" every minute to punish him with an iron fist.

The others were making their own beds, and Kunikida pushed his glasses complicatedly when he heard that.

"After so many years of delay, it's time to make some progress."

Dun asked in a low voice, "Do you all know about Miss Li and Mr. Ranbu?"

Fortunately, he foolishly thought that the relationship between the two was bad before, but now he thinks it's not the case at all.

Dun couldn't help sighing a little lonely.

The flower bag tightly rolled up his beloved quilt, and he snorted in displeasure: "I'm showing my affection there every day, any fool can see it."

Dun, who is not even as good as a 'fool', was silent for a million times: "..."

I'm sorry he couldn't see it!

When this topic was mentioned, the others did not reply for some reason, allowing the strange atmosphere of silence to continue to expand between them.

Perhaps in order to change his mood, the understanding Dazai suddenly proposed on a whim: "Why don't we squat in the corner and peek at the situation of the two of them?"

Kunikida's face darkened in an instant: "Huh? Dazai, what kind of bad idea did you guys come up with here?"

Before everyone fell asleep, this guy who didn't want to stop wanted to make trouble again!

"Because I really want to know, children are naturally curious creatures, Mom Kunikida!"

Dazai shamelessly put on a cute coat for his reason, ignored the murderous intent suddenly erupted on his partner, and got his head into the bed opposite Atsushi, grabbed his feet and slapped him .

"Don't you want to take a look, Dunjun? Maybe you can hear some interesting movement from them by the door!"

"W-what interesting movement... Wait, Mr. Dazai, don't scratch my feet, it's so itchy!"

Dun immediately writhed like a caterpillar, kicking his feet to kick his senior away.Unconsciously, blushing spread across his face, and he couldn't tell whether it was the itchy spot, or the redness that was forced out by sensing some deep meaning in Dazai's words.

Touching his conscience, he stammered, "And it's very immoral to eavesdrop on other people doing, doing, doing that kind of thing!"

Dazai stuck to it persistently: "Anyway, it's not a day or two for me to be called wicked, come on, come on."

Kunikida finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Don't make me so self-aware at a time like this!"

Grab someone by the back collar with one hand, draw a parabola in mid-air and throw it back into the bed, and then press his head with a pillow to ruthlessly seal him.

After this series of operations, the world finally returned to peace.

"However, what exactly do you mean by 'that kind of thing' in what you said just now?" Xianzhi, who is the most ignorant of the world, asked naturally, those curious pupils seemed to be loaded with the cleanest purity in the world.

This question, which was not contaminated with any evil thoughts, immediately made all the filthy adults bow their heads in guilt.

She even forgot that there were still minors present!

Tanizaki replied with a blushing face as if trying to cover it up: "It's nothing, nothing! It's better not to know about Kenji at your current age!"

Kenji obediently replied 'Oh', and then gave up the idea of ​​seeking knowledge.

Everyone unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, the guilt of teaching bad children almost overwhelmed them just now.

Except, of course, for one of the guys who's not a human anymore.

Kunikida's bunk was the closest to the switch, so he was in charge of turning off the chandelier in the room.The Japanese room lost its light source and fell into darkness instantly.

Now I can finally sleep peacefully.

But just a few minutes later, a familiar voice that was on the verge of danger came from the room.

"...Are you really not going?"

Kunikida shouted angrily, "Shut up!"

"Cut~~"

Dazai reluctantly kept silent, lest he be beaten up by his partner later.

Fighting and squabbling almost constitute the daily life of this pair of partners, and it is also fortunate that Kunikida is there, otherwise no one would be able to suppress Dazai's trouble-making spirit.

Thinking about it, Dun in the bed felt a little funny.He leaned on his own pillow on his side, rubbed the quilt under his body, and planned to gradually fall asleep like this, but at this moment, he felt a cold feeling attached to his feet.

He moved his feet helplessly and said with a smile: "Mr. Dazai, I can't even talk about it. Don't make trouble with me anymore."

"Huh?" Dazai made a nasal sound.

Unexpectedly, the icy temperature climbed up his calf even more. Dun felt that he was frozen by his body temperature, so he had no choice but to remind again: "Just don't get in again, your hands are good!" It's cold, Dazai-san."

Dazai said the truth lightly: "I didn't sneak to your side again, Atsu-kun."

After he said this, Duncai belatedly realized that his voice seemed a little far away from him.

Dun's expression froze in an instant, and the smile on his face could hardly be maintained: "Eh...eh? Mr. Dazai, don't be joking! Aren't you just getting into my bed?"

——For example, if it wasn't him, then what exactly got in?

Now the other people who were staying in their bed also noticed his strangeness, Tanizaki immediately sat up and asked with a vague premonition: "Aunt, what's the matter with you?"

But at this time, in the room where the doors and windows were originally closed, a strange cold wind suddenly blew out of thin air, shaking the chandelier above the head and creaking.

Kunikida threw back the quilt and shouted, "Atsu!!"

At the same time, Dun's bed was raised higher and higher, as if something hidden inside was quietly swelling.

The silver-haired boy who was not good at dealing with this kind of scene tremblingly opened his quilt, and at that moment, he met the scarlet eyeball of the ghost with wet black hair hanging inside.

"Ahhhh-!!"

The fear that had accumulated to the size of a balloon was instantly pierced by the needle point, and Dun scrambled out of the quilt under convulsions, and crawled forward on the tatami.

Completely ignoring the proper image, he dragged his body and moved to the door, clenching his fist and slamming on the door frame above, trying to use his voice to call for help from the girl who was specially designed to deal with such situations.

"Miss Li, help me!"

At the same moment, Ali and Ranbu, who had their confession interrupted, also froze in the sound of the panicked roar from the next door.

They maintained the posture in the previous confession, looking at each other.

After finally waiting for this moment, all expectations were shattered into dregs.The girl lying under her was soaring with anger visible to the naked eye. After getting up with the bamboo horse, she quickly went to the side to take her favorite knife, and strode towards the door of the room.She was bristling with anger, as if her long tea chestnut hair was pushed into the air by the angry waves of flames without wind.

"What are you doing!! Don't give me a reasonable explanation, just wash your neck and wait for me to fix you!"

If you dare to make her feel bad, then everyone will not feel better!

The Great Demon King opened the door with a gesture of coming to meet with a knife, but the scene outside in a blink of an eye was unexpected.

The corridor outside was filled with a thin layer of bluish-gray mist at some point, and the ending sound of Dun calling for help also disappeared in this strange mist, completely disappearing from existence.

"Did this happen again?"

Not far behind came to her side in disorderly steps, staring at the turbulent blue-gray mist in front of her with her narrowed Danfeng eyes, reasoning thoughtfully.

Apparently there was an accident on Dun's side that they didn't know about. Under the current situation, Ah Li didn't dare to let Luanbu stay alone in the room.She nodded, holding the knife in one hand, and took the initiative to hold his warm fingertips with the other.

"Ranbu, hold me and don't leave my side for half a step."

Even a well-known detective who usually ignores rules and regulations will not be willful in this situation.Ranbu obediently nodded in agreement, the two held hands more tightly, and then walked out of the door together to inspect the situation.

The outside seems to be falling into some kind of situation that cannot be explained by science. The room of the boys of the Armed Detective Agency is not far from here, but since Dun yelled that sentence, there is no further information at all.

The entire corridor of the mysterious wood structure fell into a lifeless state, as if there was no living person in the entire hot spring villa.

They walked down the corridor with heavy feet, and the wooden floor made a rattling sound.

Ah Li cautiously led the people to the next room, however, as soon as they crossed the boundary of the right corner, the whole person seemed to pass through an invisible barrier, and they found that they had returned to the original place.

"Tsk, ghost hit the wall?"

Ah Li was speechless in displeasure, no wonder they couldn't hear Dun and the others' voices, probably because they were isolated by this special barrier ability.

"Probably the 'something' that Dunn came to the door when he blew out the candles before. Other than that, there is no other possibility of meeting this kind of condition." The voice of Luanbu came from beside his ears.

"No wonder I felt a little out of line at that time."

Ah Li's face darkened, there was only one effective way to break through this predicament.She pulled out the long and narrow blade in her scabbard with one hand, and signaled the young man next to her to back away in time, "Ranbu, be careful."

After being reminded, Ah Li raised his favorite knife, and that sharp and smooth movement was like the slender moonlight that could tear the darkness from its essence, chopping up the fog in front of him in an instant.

The mist surged painfully in an instant, as if hurt by her sharp edge, it swayed away a piercing frequency ripple, revealing an open space in the center.

In the dark crevice finally came the voices of Dun and the others on the other side of the corridor.

"Miss Gravel!"

Through the gap blown away by the knife wind, Ah Li was able to see clearly that the silver-haired boy who opened the door, and his companions were all safe and sound inside.

This fact made her feel relieved for the time being, and asked aloud, "Dun Dun! What's going on with you?!"

The fusion speed of the clinker mist was faster than they expected, and before she could exchange information with Dun and the others, the companion who had rarely met disappeared before her eyes.

"Dun Dun!"

Ah Li shouted in a hurry, and now she didn't care about the idea of ​​stealing him to make a tiger leather sofa.

It seems that even Dazai's ability is useless in this situation.Most of his abilities are specifically aimed at the anti-power mechanism that eliminates the situation before it gets out of control, like facing things that science can't explain accurately, even he can't do anything about it.

In an emergency, it is necessary to clarify the priorities of the matter. It is more effective for her to solve the source of the incident first.

So Ah Li turned his head, wanting to explain to Luanbu his next plan: "It seems that we can only find out the source first and defeat it... Luanbu?!"

She looked back in shock, only to find that there was no one behind her.In astonishment, he shifted his gaze to his own hand. The hand that was holding him was actually condensed by a cloud of mist at this moment. When he pinched it hard, the invisible air flow recovered its essence and completely dissipated.

Ah Li didn't even think about it, and ran quickly in the corridor in the next second, searching for the other party's trace.

"Random! Where are you!"

Not on the left, not on the right, she seems to be running tirelessly in a never-ending repeating corridor.As time passed, the space here seemed to be quietly distorted, turning into a dazzling kaleidoscope, surrounded by countless identical forked roads, like the rumored "Hachiman Ignorant Yabu", extending in all directions leading to the maze.

Standing at the intersection of all forked roads, Ah Li's face was completely silent, and danger was rolling in her eyes.

"It's you who pissed me off."

If she dares to attack her most important person, she must bear the corresponding anger, and neither a human nor a ghost can bear the flames of revenge.

She raised the knife and swung the blade towards the ceiling several times. The blades crossed and spread thin wings, completely piercing through the mortuary shroud made of blue-gray mist in front of her.In a flash, click, click, tiny cracks suddenly appeared in the void, and all the forked roads were completely shattered like a kaleidoscope in an instant, peeling off countless irregular fragments.

Immediately, a stronger wave of mist gushed out from the crack in the fragment, and the girl raised her hand without changing her face, as if her palm was the center of the vortex, setting off a storm.The moon appeared above her head again, as cold as a raging lion's eye, staring intently at everything that happened on the earth.All the weird mist and illusion turned into an hourglass and gathered in her hands, finally ushering in the fate of disappearing.

But this is a trap.

As the blue-gray mist dissipated, the river of time in the entire world seemed to be flowing backwards.The light and shadow changed frequently, the water of time washed back, and some things in her mind were also pulled out.It was at this time that Ah Li witnessed a figure that he would never forget in his memory.

It was a young couple with a temperament of Pei Ran. Seeing her standing still, they couldn't help turning their heads to wait, their smiles showed a bit of helplessness for their beloved daughter.

"What's wrong, Rubble?"

Ah Li seemed to have lost all language functions at this moment, he was almost speechless in a daze, his vocal cords were dry, like a rusty machine.

"Father, mother...?"
