The appearance of the ghost lamp made Guochang Lu Dajue a little bit stunned. You must know that it is precisely because he is a member of the Onmyoji family that he does not believe in the existence of hell—because once he admits its existence, he must admit his former self. To commit a crime, one must face the reality that one will surely fall into hell after death.

Especially now that Gao Tianyuan is far away from the human world, no one wants to believe that there is a hell in this world.

But all of this changed immediately after the ghost lamp appeared.No one can resist this ghost from hell, not only because of the terrifying strength of the other party, but more importantly, the resentment on the other party that is no longer restrained in front of them. "Wraith" is used to describe it.

Just seeing the other party, I can feel the word death turning into a substance and pressing on my heart, and even feel that if the other party gets too close, I will directly lose my life because of the resentment that is so strong that it can almost become a substance .

Ghost Lantern didn't want to intimidate them too much. He showed his side, after all, it was just to let them confirm their identities. When they found that these people confirmed their identities, Ghost Lantern no longer released that overly strong resentment. , began to discuss the business.

The King of Gold was always worried about how to deal with the slate. In the past, what he was most worried about was that if the slate suddenly disappeared or failed one day, what would the King of Blue do? You must know that scepter4 has always been They are all dealing with all the crimes committed by people with supernatural powers in the 23rd district of Tokyo. If there is no slate and the members of the Blue Clan become incapable, then the value of scepter4 as a law enforcement agency will be completely lost.And now he knows that even if the slate is taken away, the power that has been endowed will not disappear, but because there is no slate, the sword of Damocles will disappear, the power of the king will disappear, and the sanctuary belonging to the king will also disappear. disappear.However, compared to the unstable Sword of Damocles and the fact that there is always the King of Green who wants to liberate the slate in a place not too far away, but without the power of the king and the sanctuary, it can't be more cost-effective.

Especially for Zhou Fangzun, without the power of the king, which symbolizes destruction, his life would be easier.

But for other kings, it's a different story.The three kings present, not to mention Fukuzawa Yukichi who has just become a king, who basically only has an idea of ​​the power of a king, the old gold king and the blue king are all confirming that even after the slate disappears, their situation will not change. After being too affected, the decision to deal with the slate was immediately made.

As for the Green King who needs to rely on the power of the slate to survive, Munakata Reji said very cold words, "It is better for a person who has been dead for so many years to let him rest in peace as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went out to contact Zhou Fangzun. After all, he said that this thing would be sent away, and at least four kings had to be present to agree.

Dajue on Guochang Road was a little bit embarrassed. He looked at the sky, and there was an airship that had been flying for 50 years on it. If the slate was sent away and he passed away, what would Weissman do? ?

Weissman, you should go out and have a look, you can no longer stay 50 years ago.

Edogawa Ranbu looked at the old man's expression full of emotion, and couldn't help but said: "So, you obviously got him used to this, as long as Mr. Ghost Lantern goes up and beats him up, nothing will happen. Already!"

"No, only this, please don't."

"No, I will not shoot at the living at will."

Guochang Lu Dajue and Gui Deng said almost at the same time, this idea is too ghostly, although it does sound very reasonable.Guochang Lu Dajue quickly straightened his mind, he was actually a little moved by this idea.

The ghost lamp on the side snorted to the famous detective, "Didn't I say it many times? I will not attack living humans. Besides, is that guy a German? He has been the silver king for more than 50 years." , Such a soul is of great value, if he loses the power of the king, the frozen time will start to move again, and when it reaches the end, his soul will be extradited by Europa Hell immediately."

"The value of the soul?" Edogawa Ranpo was curious.

"This kind of thing is not something you need to consider as a living person. Of course, if you are really curious, I can't satisfy you." Ghost Lantern said, "You die quickly and we can start working." Startled Luanbu, he hurriedly hid behind his boss, not daring to look at the low-pressure ghosts.

"Cough, the random steps were not intentional, please forgive me." Fukuzawa Yukichi immediately bowed his head honestly and apologized.

"I think you are all very good talents." Ghost Lantern did not continue to scare the famous detective, but was really discussing with Fukuzawa Yukichi quite seriously, "So, do you really not consider coming to hell to take up a job sooner? With your ability, you can directly enjoy the treatment of high-end talents after entering the job, including food and housing and high salary."

"It's too early to go to hell to get a job now." Fukuzawa Yukichi shook his head and declined the other party's invitation, "I still have a lot of things in this world that I want to accomplish but can't, at least before I go to hell." On the other side, I hope I don’t have any regrets.”

"Really?" Ghost Lantern rubbed his chin. Now that the other party has talked about this, he stopped persuading him, but looked at the King of Gold over there, "I can go and see the legendary piece of gold. Slate?"

"Please..." Guochang Road Dajue took the initiative to make way for this ghost who was said to be the assistant officer of King Yama, one of the ten halls of hell.

The Dresden stone slab was sealed under this floor by him. When the floor was covered with his power, the floor was opaque. After he withdrew all the power, the floor would reveal the huge And the huge disc-shaped stone slab under the thick glass.

Guochang Road Dajue consciously put away his ability, then stretched out his hand and pressed a button on the side, the glass floor opened, revealing the Dresden stone slab with strange patterns on the surface inside.

"Pretty interesting stuff, tsk, unfortunately I can't take it all by myself, I can only transfer it out later when the people from Europa Hell come over." Ghost Lantern said with some regret, "I thought this stone slab has been in Japan for so many years, at least Can stay in hell in Japan."

"Because it's the cornerstone of the world?" Ranbu popped up again, raising his hand like a child and asking.It's true that he is a detective, but many things don't give him any clues, and if he can deduce it, there is a ghost.

"There are many reasons, but the one you just mentioned is one of the most important reasons." Ghost Lantern reached out and touched the huge rock disk, "Another important reason is that it doesn't want to stay in Japan, a sad place. gone."

"Huh?" When everyone heard this, their faces became a little weird, and Edogawa Ranpo immediately exclaimed, "Mr. Ghost Lantern, you mean that this stone slab is alive?"

"It can't be explained by being alive. The way of explaining it in a relatively easy-to-understand way is that this stone slab has already given birth to its own fusangshen." Ghost Lantern chose an explanation method that is very in line with the way Japanese people understand, "that is to say , even if it is sent to the other side, we must respect the wishes of the stone itself."

"By the way, in my senses, Slate is crying now, and crying very fiercely." Ghost Lantern added another one, regardless of whether the nerves of the people who heard his words were broken or not, he He stretched out his hand and made a grasping motion, as if he wanted to take out his own mace, but in the end he didn't do that, because the spirit of the stone slab cried even more when he saw him making such a motion. It could even be considered a sonic attack.

"Yes, is that so?" Fukuzawa Yukichi, who had nothing to do with such ghosts, monsters, or whatever, pulled Ranpo behind him, and looked at the stone slab over there with a face like an enemy.

Even though he is a newly promoted king, but he looked at him with such eyes, the spirit of the slate immediately burst into tears.

"It's too noisy, so please allow me to leave for a while." The ghost lamp retreated decisively. Isn't it because it has been suppressed by humans for so many years? Wasn't this stone slab buried in the ground before it was dug out?Now it's just buried in another place, why are you so excited?

Of all the people present, he was probably the only one who could say such a thing so confidently. After all, Ghost Lantern is the ultimate realist. He obviously has a keen insight that is close to mind reading, but most of the time he is more willing to be a happy person. Straight man, I have to say, things like ky really get better and better.

Dajue on Guochang Road knew that the stone slabs had spirits, but hearing the ghost lamp say that the spirits of the stone slabs were crying or something was unexpected to him. He sighed and bent down, touching the rough surface of the slate slabs with his hands. A little nostalgic expression, very faint, but very real, "I know, but the only thing I can do all the time is to prevent more uncontrollable ability users from appearing in human beings. suppressing you."

He said, standing up, "Indeed, from the point of view of something with a soul, it was my fault, but this is the only thing I will never regret."

The old man put his hands into his sleeves, "Including this time."

The Slate Spirit cried for a long time, and finally stopped.A stone slab is a stone slab, even if it has spiritual wisdom, it is still not a human being after all. It is impossible to understand why I have endowed human beings with so much power, but human beings hate themselves and only want to seal themselves.

"You actually ask such a question, are you a child?" Gui Deng found that the room was quiet, and after walking forward, he heard the broken thoughts of the spirit of the stone slab. On the slate, "If you want to know these things, go to hell and ask the residents on the other side, maybe there are some boring guys who are willing to tell you those things."

When Zhou Fangzun rushed over, what he saw was such a strange scene. The man in black was chatting with Shi Ban, as if he was talking with a child, "So this is what you want me to come and see." The thing? The guy in the green suit."

When Zhou Fangzun looked sideways at Reiji Munakata, his eyes subtly seemed to be looking at a liar.

Munakata Reisi's response to him was to draw his sword after smiling, and the two of them almost didn't fight on the imperial pillar tower.

Regarding sending away the Dresden slate, Zhou Fangzun did not have any opinion. After understanding the whole situation, he immediately nodded and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"It's nothing, it's just a sense of ritual." Ghost Lantern said, directing the four kings to stand at the four corners of the stone slab, and then muttered a few words, and the slate immediately bloomed with a soft glow. When Halo came, a strange voice sounded in the hearts of the four of them, "Goodbye..."

Before they could respond, the soft light disappeared.

"Next?" Edogawa Ranpo, who was watching from the sidelines, asked with some doubts. This scene was a bit different from what he had imagined. After all, it was the Dresden slate of such a handsome king, the farewell of the slate. It should be very reasonable, but now the whole process is only at this time to put a layer of soft light, which makes him feel incredible.

"The next step is something simpler." Ghost Lantern waved his hand, signaling the four people standing on the stone slab to get down quickly. After everyone got down, he casually stretched out his hand, as if holding a biscuit, and lifted the slate directly from the floor lifted up.

hmmmm?

This scene is really too... too subtle and very eye-catching. The five people on the side seemed to lose their voices at the same time. It's like seeing a real gnat shaking a tree, and it's a bit funny in addition to being shocked.

The ghost lamp even had time to look back at the detective, and said sharply: "I said it in the first place, just for a sense of ritual."

The famous detective felt a big blow, he could even see it, maybe the four people stood up just now, the part where the slate glowed may not really be needed, this is really for a sense of ceremony? !

"Please open the window." As Ghost Lantern said, Guochang Lu Dajue hurriedly opened the dome to reveal the sky of the exhibition, and then they saw a huge, scary cat riding on it. A very cool motorcycle with a pocket appeared on the periphery of the dome. The cat was still burning, and the motorcycle was simply a monster punk style. Such a combination is simply too cool.

Apparently, the Yuji big cat in other rooms also noticed the new guests on the roof. The big cat looked up, and his eyes were quite excited. It knew that it was Miss Train from hell. As a cat, Miss Train It is the ultimate life winner of Maosheng!

Ghost Lantern carried the huge stone plate, walked over in one stride, and put the rock plate directly into the side pocket of the motorcycle on the train. After confirming that it was put away, he even sat in it.

"Okay, then we'll take our leave." Ghost Lantern, who did not behave romantically at all, nodded to them, signaling the train to drive back.

"Are you going home so soon? I wanted to have a few words with Yuji Maomao." Although the train complained, it still twisted the handle of the motorcycle and drove this cool real "train" away. He went out, "Then we're leaving. Also, those over there don't have to worry. I won't be the one who will pick you up when you die. Don't worry."

After the big cat finished speaking, the oversized motorcycle made a strange roar, and then it carried the wonderful guests on the car, and turned back from the sky with an extremely flexible head shake.

"I can say that Mr. Ghost Lamp's behavior has completely broken my meaning of the word romance." Edogawa Ranpo said with a bitter face. He originally thought that the big scene was like this. As for the light and the like Things don't even exist anymore.

Fukuzawa Yukichi pursed his lips, and called out his sword of Damocles neatly. Just when several people were a little confused about what he wanted to do, they all saw it clearly. On the top of the colorless king's head that has not been a day, the colorless king's sword began to collapse from the hilt, and the collapsed part gradually turned into fine spots of light.

"I see." Munakata Reiji glanced at Edogawa Ranpo, who was immediately attracted to the attention, pushed his glasses and said, but he said so, but he didn't want to get involved, just so calm He looked up and watched the sword of Damocles, which symbolized the existence of the king, gradually shattered, and then turned into a stream of light and flew to the farther sky.

The picture was so beautiful that even Zhou Fangzun, who liked to argue with him the most, didn't say anything, just raised his head in the same way, watching the transparent long sword turn into streamer bit by bit.

The Yuji big cat also came up. It originally wanted to say hello to the train lady, but the other party had already carried Mr. Ghost Lantern away with something. When it came up, it miraculously didn't meet anyone. The guard, it came between the stone slabs with the open dome, and as soon as it came, it saw the sword of Damocles hanging high in the sky, constantly turning into light.

"It's so beautiful..." Edogawa, who was completely satisfied now, ran over and grabbed Yukichi the big cat, and motioned to the cat to quickly take a picture of this shocking scene in the sky.

Yuji Damao also took out his mobile phone without hesitation, and started shooting at the sky. Even if the complete beauty cannot be recorded, it is not bad to record only a small part.

Together, one person and one cat, the Sword of Damocles was filmed so slowly that it completely turned into a streamer and disappeared into the sky.

Zhou Fangzun shook his hand, and a red flame was born in his hand. He looked up, but he didn't see the red sword of Damocles he called just now, "This is really... the best news. .”

Several other people also tried, and found that indeed, the power was still there, but the sword of Damocles, which represented the king, could no longer be summoned.

"Then, as the manager of scepter4, I won't bother you at the Pillar Tower any longer." Reiji Munakata pushed down his glasses. "I'll take my leave first. There are still quite a few things that need to be dealt with urgently about scepter4's business." He said , and looked at Zhou Fangzun who was on the side, "You and I will no longer be kings in the future, I hope you can control your subordinates a little bit, otherwise, scepter4 will definitely enforce the law fairly."

"Hmph..." Zhou Fangzun's reply to this was also very simple, and he directly gave him a breathy sound from his nasal cavity.

"Then, it's time for us to say goodbye." Fukuzawa Yukichi also turned sideways, bowing slightly to Dajue Guochang Road.

"Go..." The old man shook his head, indicating that they could move freely.

At this moment, he finally saw the mobile phone that he let go of on the sofa on the other side vibrating crazily. He was stunned for a moment, and walked up to find that it was Weissman who was persistently calling him frantically. He was a little funny , raised his hand to pick up the phone, and sure enough, he immediately heard a series of unbelievable voices from the other side of the microphone.

"Lieutenant, what happened? Why did I seem to see that the sword of Damocles of the Colorless King disappeared?" The Tianguo was in the suburbs of Tokyo at this time, and it would be a bit difficult to rush back immediately. With more energy than heart, Weissman naturally could only watch Wang Jian disappearing in the distance, "What's going on here?"

"Weissman, time has begun to flow again." Guochang Lu Dajue looked up, looked at the sky where the small black spots of the airship could be faintly seen, and couldn't help laughing.

"What do you mean?" Before Weissman could react, he heard Guochang Lu Dajue say to him: "Try to call your own sword of Damocles."

After finishing speaking, Guochang Lu Dajue hung up the phone.

When Fukuzawa Yukichi walked out of the Pillar Tower with Edogawa Ranpo and Yukichi the big cat, he still couldn't believe that he was so light-hearted with nothing to do. Can't hide it, and soon everyone who should know will know.I'm really sorry for making Taneda Yamato Hibaek happy, but for Mori Ogai, I can still hide it for a few days.

He hopped and walked in front, playing a game of stepping on shadows with Big Cat Yuji, and after a while, he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, President, your power as king is what?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi suddenly fell into a suspicious pause. After a while, he reached out and touched the boy-looking detective's head, and patted it twice through the hat, but he didn't answer Ranpo's question directly, "Whether What was Wang Zhili before, it is gone now."

"President, you are treating me like a child, Mr. Yuji is so cunning." Ranbu complained a little, and the big cat Yuji who was on the side also came over and did the same move, and immediately let the detective He couldn't calm down anymore, he jumped up and wanted to touch Yuji's big cat's head, but because he was not tall enough, even if he stretched his arms, he could only touch the top of the cat's head.

Seeing the big cat Yukichi squatting down to be touched by a detective, Fukuzawa Yukichi also bent his mouth a little bit. He actually couldn't believe it, because his previous king's power was "domination".That's the only thing he doesn't want to tell anyone.
