How I was forced to be the villain

[It's really not in the character of a candidate to say such a thing. ]

"That said, it's still very handsome."

"Super handsome." Dazai Osamu cheered.

[No, too secondary. ]

But it's enough to keep those guys in check.

Sure enough, there seemed to be something more in the eyes of the group of officials looking at Jing Yeyan's back blankly.

It was getting late and the days here were much shorter than normal.

They plan to go to Luanbu's current home first.

Standing at the gate of 221B Baker Street, Jing Yeyan felt as if he had been in another world.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly?" Luanbu propped the door, looking at the person staring at the door plate in a daze.

"It's nothing."

Kyono Yan stepped through the threshold of 221B, as if something remained in the past and fell silent with time.

There is a fireplace in the living room of 221B, which is exuding warm light at the moment, dispelling the frightening darkness that seems to hide a monster that is about to move behind.

However, on the silent street filled with heavy fog, the light source emitted from 221B is like a small boat on the sea, crumbling in the storm.

After Osamu Dazai also went in, Kyono Yan took a deep look at the depths of the fog for the last time and then closed the door, blocking all fear.

"Are you scared?"

Turning around, he saw Osamu Dazai standing behind him.

"It is human instinct to be afraid of the dark, so we must pursue the light." Kyono said righteously.

Of course he is not afraid.

Locking the door and spreading the curtains around the window completely cut off the outside world.

"So what you said at that time was true." Osamu Dazai suddenly remembered what happened in Snowstorm City before.

"what?"

"You came to me and said that you are afraid of sleeping alone and want to sleep with me," Osamu Dazai teased, "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?"

"I can't sleep tonight." Jing Yeyan's eyes wandered, and he said flatly.

"Eh?"

"The purpose of lowering the curtains is to prevent people from spying in the dark. I should understand that Luanbu," Jing Yeyan picked up a biscuit from the coffee table in front of the fireplace, "We are not here for vacation."

Edogawa Ranpo: "If we want to find out the truth, we can't do it alone. Something must happen to make us grasp the thread, and it is very dangerous."

Luanbu really understood.

"In other words, there will be monsters attacking us tonight." Osamu Dazai, who had been attacked by a giant mouse, immediately deduced.

"No one knows what will happen outside if you die here. It's better to be careful."

One thing Kyono didn't say was that Fyodor, who had come in with him, had disappeared.

I don't know what that guy can do. In this "room", Fyodor is the biggest danger.

Kyono Yan sat down beside Ranpo, and Dazai Osamu sat next to him.

The three of them neatly held a cup of hot milk and stared at the fire in the fireplace in a daze.

"Speaking of which, what should we do with the corpse?" Kyanoyan suddenly remembered that they still had a victim's body at the fountain.

"The police from Scotland Yard will come and deal with it. It's not our job." Edogawa Ranbu struggled with the milk for a while before drinking it in one gulp, "It's so hot!"

"Be careful."

Edogawa Ranpo put the cup on the table and said, "It is said that I have a military doctor roommate and an interesting landlady, but I haven't seen them yet. Well, whether they exist or not is still the same thing."

"Eh——, you already know so much about yourself, Dazai and I don't even know our identity here," Kyono tugged at the corner of his clothes, "I seem to be very rich."

"You should be a member of the royal family, well, your status should not be low," Edogawa Ranpo glanced at Kyono Yan's ring, "That is the royal family's coat of arms."

Jing Yeyan looked carefully, and sure enough, he saw a blooming rose in the gem.

"In my case, it should be a poor and down-and-out painter." Dazai sniffed his clothes, and there was no strange smell to make him feel relieved. There was a little paint accidentally stained on his shirt.

He fumbled in his clothes and took out a ruby, "However, I have this on me."

A precious item that obviously didn't fit his design.

It would be strange to say that there is no problem here.

Sitting here is not the case, Jing Yeyan stood up, "I'll take a look around."

"Oh." Edogawa stared at the biscuit in his hand randomly, and under the reflection of the fire, the expression on his face became blurred.

After saying hello, Kyono Yan went up to the second floor alone.

The old wooden stairs made creaking noises. Because there were no lights, the surroundings were pitch black. Only a little light from the stairs could barely prevent people from stepping on the stairs.

The second floor is a corridor that can be seen at a glance. Kerosene lamps are hung on the walls on both sides. The windows at the end have been locked, and the wind outside the windows is rattling.

There are three rooms on each side, plus the one behind, are tightly closed at the moment.

Jing Yeyan looked back at the steep stairs, because of the corner, he could not see the situation on the first floor at all, and he couldn't even hear the sound, as if this place and the first floor were two worlds.

Kyonoyan withdrew his gaze and didn't think about what was there or what wasn't.

Push open the door on the left, and inside is a messy study room.

All kinds of papers were scattered all over the place, but they were all cases, nothing special.

Of note is a newspaper lying on the table.

【...The patient has symptoms of itching all over the body and will scratch non-stop. It only takes seven days to get back to normal. 】

[Some patients began to become manic after recovery...]

Jing Yeyan whirled the word "manic" softly, and a dilapidated laboratory suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Please be sure...my...min..."

Kyono Yan tried to hear what he said to the man with his back turned, but he couldn't hear it at all, and then it popped out of his memory.

"Is it information about this character?" Because it seemed to be Kyono Yan's own perspective.

According to the picture he saw in a flash, Kyono Yan had to start to suspect that what happened in the city had something to do with him.

After folding the newspaper, he carefully carried it in his arms, and left the room.

There is nothing special in the other rooms, and the last one is a bedroom.

The bedroom is even simpler, with nothing but a bed and a wardrobe.

However, when looking through the closet, a notebook fell out.

He picked up the notebook and flipped through it.

It seems to be an experiment record inside, an experiment about a strange disease recorded in a newspaper, signed by... Sherlock Holmes.

Kyono Yan tightened his grip on the notebook.

"Random walk..."

He didn't believe that Ranbu didn't know this key information, but he didn't say anything.

Is Ranpo the one who created all this chaos?

Keeping these in mind, Kyono put the notebook back in its original place.

It's too early to draw a conclusion, but he can be sure that there are some problems with Luanpo.

Jing Yeyan came out of the bedroom and went straight to the window at the end. Looking out through the window, the whole of London was dark, and the outline of the building could be vaguely seen in the darkness.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Then, he lowered his head, and when his gaze fell below, Kyono Yan's hairs suddenly stood on end.

A strange figure stood at the door, staring straight at the door of 221B, and I don't know how long it has been there.

When Jing Yeyan noticed his legs bent into a strange arc, he immediately reacted.

"It's not a human, with pointed ears, a long face, a wolf?...No, it's a wild dog." Jing Yeyan turned his head and ran downstairs without any hesitation.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on the back immediately.

"Wild dog hurts people", is it this wild dog?

After propping himself up on the wall of the stairs, Kyonoyan jumped straight down.

"Ah Yan?" Such a big movement made the two people sitting on the sofa look over at the same time.

The two people sitting on the sofa turned around and saw two furry animal faces.

Jing Yeyan took a big step back in shock from the sudden shock, shook his head, and opened his eyes only to find that the faces of the two men hadn't changed much.

He frowned and pressed his forehead.

hallucinations?

Osamu Dazai saw his bad face, thought something happened, so he asked, "What happened?"

Jing Yeyan shook his head, motioning for the two to keep quiet, and then walked slowly to the window.

He pinched the edge of the curtain with his hand, paused for a moment, and pulled it open without hesitation.

However, the monsters you were prepared to meet were not there, and there was nothing out there.

"What's wrong?" Osamu Dazai walked over.

"Just now I saw a figure standing here upstairs, looking inside."

Hearing what he said, Osamu Dazai glanced outside again, and there was nothing strange outside except for the shaking tree shadows.

"Maybe he has already left." Jing Yeyan wondered if what he saw before was his own illusion, after all, he just saw the faces of the two people in other ways.

"It seems to be still there." Edogawa, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at the shadow of the stairs.

A gasp mixed with bloody smell gradually became heavy.

Kyono turned his head abruptly, and a foot belonging to an animal stepped down the stairs.

tick-

A drop of water fell on the floor.

No, not drops, it's... drool.

The eyes of the upright monster were shining with green light.

The two sides glanced at each other, and Jing Yeyan shouted: "Run!"

At the same time as he yelled, the upright wild dog pounced on the ground with its front feet.

A cool wind brushed his cheeks, and gunshots sounded in his ears. The gun in Osamu Dazai's hand briefly blocked the monster's footsteps.

"Come on."

The three turned around and ran away, but there was definitely more than one monster hidden in the dark.

"Tsk." Jing Yeyan clicked his tongue impatiently, always wondering if Mercury is retrograde recently, why everything is hindering him.

After running to a place surrounded by dilapidated houses, Jing Yeyan stopped.

"Ah Yan!" Edogawa Ranpo was startled by Kyono Yan's actions.

Kyonoyan turned his head and took out a scalpel.

Facing the monsters rushing from all directions, Jing Yeyan felt that he was now very much like the cannon fodder in the game that rushed to die.

He gently tossed the scalpel up, and held it with his backhand when it fell.

Close your eyes, focus on the dialysis chart on the light screen, and quickly remember every inch of muscle fiber and every blood vessel of these monsters in your mind.

"With this amount, there is no other way but to escape." Even so, Edogawa Ranpo had no intention of running away by himself.

Edogawa Ranpo heard this person's cold voice.

"It's okay, I won't die."

A monster in the shape of a wolf jumped down from mid-air, and smashed hard at Jing Yeyan with its thick claws.

Osamu Dazai's heart tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to go there, but was stopped by Ranpo Edogawa.

Ranbu seemed much calmer, but Shi Chang's eyes, which were squinted together, opened slightly, and he became serious.

With a bang, the ground was cracked, and countless gravel and soil were stirred up, temporarily blocking the line of sight.

As if sensing something, Edogawa raised his head in a random step, "Over there!"

Unlike the chaos above the ground, the night sky appears calm and cold.

The voice in the ear was cleared in an instant.

A top hat hit the ground and twirled.

The corner of the brown clothes drew an arc in the air, and the young man who propped the monster up from the top of his head opened his eyes, and his long black hair brushed across his forehead.

It was a pair of red and black eyes.

It was the red color that Osamu Dazai was very familiar with.
