Battle of Virtual Divas

"Leave everything to Lord Ranpo."

Regarding this point, Edogawa Ranpo was particularly fearless.

"What Gakupo is worried about is still considering the comparison of our combat effectiveness?"

【...Probably so, but I have also considered other things. After all, the reality cannot be 100% speculated, and there are countless possibilities that may change the direction of things. 】

Edogawa Ranpo breathed out through his nostrils, then raised his index finger triumphantly and shook: "Master Ranpo would not choose the most stupid way of coping, if Gakupo really thinks that way, it is really It's so stupid, when Lord Ranpo was invited to the press conference, he specially brought this kind of thing!"

The big detective with black hair and green eyes reached into the inner side of his clothes and touched it, and then took it out from the inner pocket of the brown denim detective suit like a treasure...

A thin brown paper book.

The outer cover is made of thin cowhide, and the inner pages are made of bamboo fiber paper. It is an ordinary book, which can even be called "roughly made". It is probably a common wholesale B-type product deliberately purchased for use as a practice draft. Or to put it more bluntly, the buyer has been scammed.

"This is the stuff of a guy who overreached himself and wanted to challenge Lord Ranpo's title of 'Detective'. Although he looked pitiful after losing decisively, he still admired Lord Ranpo's wisdom and gave it away on purpose." Ranpo-sama, although the truth is so simple that it can be seen at a glance, it is more than enough to trap ordinary intelligent people."

Edogawa Ranpo hugged the book and nodded:

"Master Ranpo still prefers cream puffs... But now that there is this thing, Master Ranpo insists until Gakupo completes 'Forcing', it will definitely be no problem, even if the 'beating enemy' is more used to speaking with well-developed limbs, It is also absolutely impossible to miss the topic of 'E' being brought up."

[...Only need to rely on a book? 】

Shenwei Lebu blinked.

[That book does have subtle fluctuations of supernatural powers, but the magnitude and scope are still very weak... Just such a book, can it really stop the strong man who beats the enemy family? 】

"Don't question Ranpo-sama's decision!"

As if he noticed the hesitant gaze of the purple-haired samurai, Edogawa Ranpo immediately opened his teeth and claws like a cat with a blown fur: "This is not something like you communicate with fists, it has the wisdom of Master Ranpo. Now, you can even chase after those guys to find Gakupo!"

【...If Edogawa Ranpo thinks so, then trust him. 】

Shenwei Lebu's suspicion only stayed in his heart for a short time, and soon disappeared.

【As he said, for a famous detective with such wisdom, you can give him all the trust. 】

"Ok."

So Shenwei Lebu nodded obediently, and then spoke:

"Since this is the case, let's start to act."

[From the end of the second obsession, "Ai" has been waiting for me to go, and now, it should be time to complete the third obsession. 】

……

"So what so?"

Osamu Dazai asked enthusiastically:

"Hatsune-chan, what's next, what is the third 'force'?"

[To sum it up realistically, among all the combinations in this "game", only the two members of the Armed Detective Agency and Fyodor were able to help. No trouble, and Osamu Dazai...]

Hatsune Miku glanced at Osamu Dazai with a bit of disgust.

[He seems to have a very accurate positioning of himself. His initial cognition was that "he has nothing to do", as long as he is responsible for bearing the consequences after Shenwei Lebu fails, or he doesn't care about anything if he succeeds, so Had a lot of fun, exploring and we also had a lot of fun exploring. 】

Hatsune Miku doesn't know how much Osamu Dazai has discovered, but now that the matter is about to be completed, it doesn't matter even if Osamu Dazai discovers all of them. After all, Osamu Dazai is not Fyodor, so there is no need to worry about him suddenly If Qi wants to destroy all "artificial humans", if it is just a harmless prank or trouble, it can still be tolerated.

"The third item 'force' is the 'highest possibility' proposed by Edogawa Ranpo at the beginning."

Hatsune Miku said flatly:

"Ranpo Edogawa said everything, including that he was able to use the book to pull the guy who beat the enemy to stop him into the inside page, and that he was able to hold the owner and the former owner of the enemy with just words. The Dai Patriarch can even follow him to the place where 'Ai' is held—"

[Then, he took down the "third requirement" requested by "Ai" with his own hands. 】

-

Among the four cards that Edogawa Ranpo asked to bring out from the "Island of Greed", except for the "virtual restaurant" that he was interested in, the other three cards were all useful for achieving the "third requirement" or The props that work indirectly, "Scissors of Broken Edge" are used for previous preparations, "Risk Dice" deducts part of the value, and the next "Lost and Found Express" that he asked for, which seems useless, is used for After paying the "forced" price.

[And his so-called "recovering the lost property" is based on the fact that everything he infers is accurate-in fact, it is true, Edogawa Ranpo said everything. 】

Including the "good luck" luck that "risk dice" can pay, and "the scissors of broken fate", which is the most prone to change, the last forced success of "Ai" is limited to Shenwei Lebu, just like It's the same as what Edogawa Ranpo said before.

[When the remaining price that needs to be returned is reduced, the "E" who is not very judgmental will give priority to collecting the price from the "wisher" himself, and according to the previous price arrangement of the wisher, the most likely thing to happen is the person whose body was forced part. 】

"It could be the fingers, it could be the hair, this is the part with the lowest possibility and the lowest cost."

At that time, Edogawa Ranpo's expression was rarely serious, and he said in a heavy voice:

"The ones with a slightly higher feasibility are similar to 'give me your spleen', or 'give me your lungs', etc. Since the price charged depends on the previous wish, then the most likely one, It's 'give me your energy core'."

["Risk dice" will play a role at this time, with a considerable degree of "luck" to deduct, then after successfully deducting part of the "price" with luck, the "force" that "E" will propose will be yes……】

The black-haired toddler's eyes are full of black holes, barely outlining a pair of rough facial features, he raised his face, and looked like an ordinary child if he didn't look at the front face.

Ranpo Edogawa felt that the voice of "Ai" sounded a bit uneasy. It may be that the owner of this voice is an extraordinarily weird creature, or it may be that he feels repulsion in his heart for this kind of "force". Hear "E" say to the purple-haired warrior:

"Give me your head."

The author has something to say: Don’t panic, it’s just a head, and it can be recreated!

The energy core is kept!
