Forced by Butei's gravity

205

Edogawa Ranpo looked up at the police station, and then pulled me in directly, and then we were stopped for questioning.

"Don't you know why you invited a detective here?" the black-haired detective casually unwrapped the candy and said confidently.

The blocking police officer frowned and showed an unhappy expression, but still contacted other personnel, and then suddenly realized, and took us straight to another area.

Obviously, the police pay special attention to missing cases. They set up a special case team. Almost everyone came and went in a hurry, and the work was complicated.

One of the heads of the special case team is a middle-aged man. After his self-introduction, his surname is Zhongtian.

Officer Nakata seemed to be very familiar with the famous detective, so he consciously prepared all the materials, and then handed them directly to Edogawa Ranpo.

"Give me a map." Edogawa Ranpo had already started to read the report, and I followed Officer Nakata to push the map and the glass plate over.

Edogawa ran through the report at a very fast speed. He read some contents carefully, and flipped through others without even reading them.

Officer Nakata had a sullen face, but he could still see his anxiety. He walked around the glass plate a few times, then quickly suppressed his emotions, and began to stare at the marks on the map and think carefully.

The map on the glass board has a lot of markers with colored pens. The red dots are where the children disappeared, and the blue lines are the routes from the children's homes and schools to the missing places.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, Edogawa Ranbu closed the thick stack of documents in his hand. He also walked to the glass plate, followed the route while looking at the map, and finally took the red marker pen, Draw a circle on a road near the Fuyuki Bridge.

"Impossible here!" Officer Zhongtian blurted out subconsciously, and then he added, "We have searched here five times, from house to house."

"I didn't say that the murderer is a resident of this area. He is underground." Edogawa Ranpo put his pen on the table, then straightened his expression, and said solemnly to Officer Nakata, "Next Just leave it to me and Miss Hat, the murderer has special abilities. You are just wasting police force and causing a lot of casualties."

I didn't have a chance to speak, so I just nodded along.

The perpetrators are the caster group.

The prototype of Blue Beard, the marshal of the art class - Gilles de Ray, and his aster - Ryunosuke Yusheng.

This pair of masters and slaves are both bloodthirsty crooked ways, but anyone who knows the Fourth World War knows the murderous caster group.

Edogawa Ranpo's stop is very necessary. Human beings are as fragile as babies compared to heroic spirits. Heroic spirits can cause ordinary people to die tragically with just a wave of their hands.

Officer Nakata seemed to want to argue something, he opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Ranpo Edogawa before he could make a sound.

"Most of those children may not be saved." The detective who opened his eyes took off his hat, lowered his head, and said as if apologetic, "They were tortured so much that their lives would be worse than death, and they were forced to die. Take a breath, but when we catch or kill the prisoners, they will die."

"How could this happen!" The expression on Officer Zhongtian's face became distorted. He took a sharp step back and knocked down the glass panel. The noisy and busy office suddenly fell silent when the glass shattered. Only Zhongtian was in the room. The voice of the police officer alone, "Those kids...?"

"Miss Hat and I will set off immediately, and we will rescue the children who are okay as soon as possible."

Officer Nakata seemed to have lost the power to speak, his lips trembled, and finally he could only say "Please."

206

"Miss Hat already knows who it is." Edogawa Ranpo put the hat back on his head, and stared at me with his eyes open, "Can it be solved?"

"This is just the beginning. If there are no accidents, I alone will be enough." I clenched my teeth and emphasized bitterly, "It may be a little dangerous if you follow in, and I may not be able to take care of you."

"If I don't follow, they will easily run away."

"Call Dazai and Chuya over here?"

"No, they have their plans."

"With my ability, I can avoid most dangers in advance."

"This……"

"When you hesitate, you miss the opportunity."

The blue eyes of the famous detective looked straight at me, he stood straight in front of me, all the childishness in his body restrained.

"Okay." I met his eyes, and then I was persuaded by him, "Excuse me."

207

I hugged Edogawa in my arms, and with the help of gravity, I drove directly in the air. Although he didn't recognize the way, fortunately, I memorized the map.After arriving at the target area as quickly as possible, a detective led me directly into an alley, and then pointed to the manhole cover of the sewer as a signal.

I lifted the manhole cover and jumped in with him.

The chaotic underground waterway exuded a strange smell. A detective covered his mouth and nose with the cloak on his shoulders, and then directed how to walk in a muffled voice until we reached a wall.

"Small it open, the destination is here." Edogawa Ranpo said with a frown.

So I told him that he put it aside and hit the wall with his right fist. The wall trembled and there were cracks, but it didn't shatter as expected.

"Tsk." I clicked my tongue in displeasure, then decisively raised my foot and kicked again quickly, "The caster should have arranged a magic trick here, the first kick has already touched it, we have to hurry up."

"Actually, you don't have to be so anxious." Edogawa Ranpo took a few steps back, avoiding the splashing gravel, "They are far more crazy than you think, and they will be happy to show you their 'masterpiece' of."

"Caster has a book." When he kicked up for the third time, the wall was completely kicked open, and the barrier like the isolation barrier outside was shattered, "It's different from "book", but his book You can summon tentacle sea monsters... This is just the beginning!"

However, before the gravel and dust that rose up fell, the strong smell of blood and hoarse cries had already reached my nose and ears. I waved my hand to press down the dust that obstructed my vision, and all that caught my eyes was bloody red, Edo Chuan Ranbu stood behind me, facing the blood-splattered wall in silence for a while.

"The detective was very angry," he said.

"It just so happens that I'm going crazy too." I twitched the corners of my lips and replied to him.

To describe this area full of flesh and blood, hell on earth is not accurate enough.

208

We have found those missing children, but only a few are alive.

Those children who couldn't cry and couldn't make a sound, their eyelashes trembled slightly, and a gleam of light rarely appeared in their empty eyes, but they begged for relief with their eyes and chapped lips.

The blood seemed to have flowed out of their mutilated bodies, but they were still lingering, stepping into the other shore, but being held tightly by the villains, unable to rest or be relieved.

I could feel my heart beating wildly faster with anger, and every breath was burning with anger, and my whole body was on fire.

Edogawa Ranpo's chest rose and fell, he let go of his hand covering his mouth and nose, and squeezed out every word from between his teeth.

"What must be done to let them rest in peace."

"Kill them, or kill the caster."

"That bastard—"

"Shh, he's coming back soon." I felt strange energy fluctuations nearby.

"These children?" Edogawa walked around in a circle at a loss.

"I'll find a place to put them first, and you stay here too. When the time comes, I will guide the caster in the opposite direction and protect yourself."

209

I cleared the field and removed all the children. At this time, the caster group came late.

"What a rude guest—it's not a good habit to come uninvited." The orange-haired young man said complainingly, "But it seems that we have the same hair color, beautiful lady, you want to feel my feelings with me Art?"

"Ahhh, forgot to introduce myself, my name is Ryunosuke Ubu - a small but happy artist."

"Now is not a good time to strike up a conversation, my dear aster." Caster and his aster arrived one after the other, and after turning their protruding eyes around, they said in surprise, "I see, You are a berserker."

"Eh? Is it the same existence as Dana? Can that make me feel more closely the art (death) I dream of—"

There was longing in Ryunosuke Usei's expression, and childish longing in his rather handsome face.But in this bloody sight, this childishness and longing, on the contrary, is even more sinister.

"I'm not interested in your art—" After the last treasure was unfolded, I became more comfortable using gravity. When the treasure was unfolded, the long wooden warehouse was compressed by gravity. can appear in my hand, "but I am very interested in your death."

The long wooden bins are in my hands, and I don't forget that gravity crushes them.

It was easy, yes, it was too easy, killing him was as simple as it could be - the point of my spear went right through his throat.

Seeing him holding the gun body with his hands, as if he wanted to lick the tip of the gun, and as if he wanted to stab it deeper, a little light lit up in his dark eyes, and then went out quickly, and finally he died completely .

"It's you now, Gilles de Ray."

“唔啊啊啊啊啊啊——这份光辉！这副模样！何其相似啊——我的圣少女——呜啊啊啊啊呜呜——”

Suddenly, the atmosphere became subtle.

Caster, who was nearly two meters tall and seemed to be weeping bitterly, bent down.

"Divinity—even this piety is so similar—"

"Jene suis a su celled'orléans" comes out without thinking, in the French I've studied for years.

"My saint—"

I was startled by caster's mournful and viscous creepy tone, so I was so shocked that I subconsciously poked Mu Cang's eyeballs.

Ah this...

I can explain it. After all, Caster's eyeballs are too protruding, so I attacked subconsciously.

But to be honest, even if it is a heroic spirit, it is very easy for me to kill him-gravity forcefully crushes him, and then shatters his spirit core.

It's as easy as hitting an egg with a stone.

All in all, I just killed the master and slave of the caster group.

"The matter is over?" Edogawa Ranpo poked his head out from his hiding place, followed by two little heads who were still in good spirits.

"Ah, you can call the police to deal with the aftermath."

"Then let's go back."

"Ah."

210

Caster was killed.

But when Nakahara Nakaya and Edogawa Ranpo were about to leave with the only remaining victims, the books left on the table suddenly became haloed.

"Caster, Osamu Dazai."

Under the unexpected gaze of Edogawa Ranpo, for some reason, the suddenly triggered magic circle emits a strong light—the black-haired young man came unexpectedly summoned.

There was still a slight smile on the corner of his lips, but his expression was icy cold.

But when his gaze caught the orange-haired girl, he restrained his boredom and coldness, and changed into a coquettish tone.

"Draw me back to this oxidized world again, what a cruel aster."
