what's wrong with my vest

The red light in Sakurai's eyes was not very obvious, it was just a halo-like circle around the iris, which was not conspicuous under the sunlight, but it was still not ignored by Edogawa Ranpo and others.

This red light is obviously different from the colored contact lenses worn by some middle and second graders. It looks like a setting sun or a burning flame, with a magical power that seems to suck people's souls in.

Osamu Dazai raised his eyebrows... It was unexpected to meet someone who looked exactly like Mr. Ranpo, and what was even more surprising was that this "Edogawa Ranpo" actually possessed special abilities?

Judging by the actions of that little police officer, it is extremely possible that the other party's powers belong to the spiritual type... Even if the fact that mental powers are difficult to control is not mentioned, just because "Edogawa Ranpo" has powers, this The fact that the ability is not "super reasoning" can bring up a lot of questions.

First of all, although people in the outside world think that Edogawa Ranpo has the supernatural ability "super reasoning" - after all, Mr. Ranpo himself thinks so. Since Mr. Ranpo often assists the police in solving cases, it is not a secret at all. You can find out with a little inquiring.

But Osamu Dazai, who was still curious about doing experiments, knew in his heart that all the results were deduced by Mr. Ranpo himself, and had nothing to do with supernatural abilities.

After all, Mr. Ranpo is not a person with supernatural powers at all, but apart from Osamu Dazai, few people know this.

Therefore, according to common sense, if the purpose of "Edogawa Ranpo" is to pretend to be Mr. Ranpo, then the other party must have the most basic understanding of Mr. Ranpo. Habitual actions, as well as "power effects".

Under this premise, if "Edogawa Ranpo" is a fake created by an unknown organization or individual using Mr. Ranpo as a template to confuse the public, then the "setting" on him is inevitable. There are too many deviations from the public impression... Ordinary people who don't know supernatural powers are fine. For other people who are familiar with Mr. Ranpo, they can tell the truth from the fake at a glance. The payment and income are completely out of proportion, idiot competence.

There are two explanations for the current situation:

The first one is that the "Edogawa Ranpo" in front of me was created to deceive ordinary people, so the details of his abilities are not important, and he doesn't even bother to pretend... After all, the other party has the ability of the mind control system Under the circumstances, this is just a small matter of knowledge, and it does not prevent "Edogawa Ranpo" and the organizations behind it from accomplishing their goals;

Second, this "Edogawa Ranpo" is Mr. Ranpo himself because he has a version with supernatural powers.

In the first case, there is probably some kind of conspiracy against the armed detective agency behind it, so it is also a good choice to keep the other party firmly under the nose when you have already had contact with the other party.

As for the second case, there are many possibilities that can be extended, and it cannot be confirmed for the time being, and further observation and contact are needed.

To get more information.

Just as Osamu Dazai's brain was spinning rapidly, Mr. Ranpo on their side broke the stalemate first.

"An unexpected development has appeared." Edogawa Ranpo opened his eyes, staring at Sakurai Yo with a look as if he had discovered a new toy.

Sakurai Yo didn't avoid the other party's staring eyes, and stared at him silently.

Sakurai felt a little unbelievable.

The novice world has passed, out of the novice protection.

When it was released into the new world, Sakurai was prepared for the fact that the story line behind "Contractor Ranpo" would not be simple, but the current part of the mission still exceeded Sakurai's expectations.

First of all, after he was released into this world, he actually had 25% progress in the initial state.

This proves that in this world, some people already have a sense of identity with Sakurai Masaru.

——In other words, in this world, there are likely to be people who know "Contractor Ranpo".

Another point is that last time, when the progress reached 25%, Sakurai could already feel the more hazy feelings, but now, whether it is facing another "self" or a partner of the armed detective agency Osamu Dazai and Atsushi Nakajima couldn't even cause even a little bit of turmoil in Sakurai's heart.

This cognition made Sakurai Masaru feel an ominous premonition in his heart.

The judging rules of the system generally do not change. Under this premise, there is only one answer that can explain this——

"Contractor Ranpo" really has no emotional fluctuations so far, whether it is seeing a dead body, seeming to be annoyed by Yamada, or being caught by Osamu Dazai and others including "another self" and brainwashing Yamada .

Whether it's fear, boredom, impatience, or guilt... none of it.

At this point, Sakurai has to admit that there is a problem with the emotional perception of "Contractor Ranpo", and at present, the problem is not small.

……

Due to Sakurai's silence, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense again. It was obviously a busy and serious crime scene, but subconsciously no one interrupted the two people who were suspected of being confrontational, not even the police who were still cleaning up the scene. The agency staff didn't know when to put down the work in hand, and their eyes kept wandering between the two people who were extremely similar.

No one knows what the two of them, like twins, wanted to understand in those few seconds. After another few seconds, Sakurai Yoshi chuckled twice, as if talking to himself, and said softly: "Come on!" It's just right."

The current progress is not very high, maybe there will be a turning point in the future, Sakurai quickly adjusted his mentality, and simply prepared the next plan.

——No matter what kind of story line the "Contractor Ranpo" has, in short, you can never go wrong by following the key characters.

Thinking of this, the red light in Sakurai Yao's eyes faded, and he narrowed his eyes again, with a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth, waving his hand and saying hello: "I was still going to find you guys."

Edogawa Ranpo didn't seem to care about Sakurai's undisguised abnormality, and shouted from the air in a strange manner, as if he had been with the other party for a long time: "Thank you, do you want to buy something to eat on the way back to the detective agency?" ? Just recently opened a nice dessert shop."

Edogawa Ranpo can tell at a glance that there is something wrong with Sakurai, and he has only just met. He is not a god. In the case of insufficient information, even he cannot directly get the truth behind the incident from the fog .

But at the same time, Edogawa Ranpo didn't feel that the problems on Sakurai Hato would bring trouble to him and everyone in the detective agency. Bringing it back to the Armed Detective Agency will cause big problems.

The other party has no malice towards himself and the people he cherishes, and at the same time wants to meet the people he cherishes.

Edogawa Ranpo, who deduced these two points, decided to pick up Sakurai and go home without the slightest hesitation.

……

Looking at the two friendly exchanges, Atsushi Nakajima belatedly exclaimed: "Two Mr. Ranpo? Eh???"

On the side, Osamu Dazai showed no surprise on his face, and his tone was as lazy as ever: "Atsushi, it's too loud and noisy, please calm down a little."

Atsushi Nakajima shouted silently: I also want to calm down, but this situation does not allow it! !

Sakurai didn't care about Atsushi Nakajima's collapse and Osamu Dazai's thoughtful expression, he directly ignored Yamada who was still in a daze, walked across the entire crime scene, and walked towards Edogawa Ranpo and the others.

Seeing the young man approaching, for some reason, Atsushi Nakajima suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry, and his Adam's apple couldn't help rolling twice.

"Edogawa Ranpo" was dressed exactly the same as the one he knew, detective uniform and deerstalker hat, but he seemed a little thinner than Edogawa Ranpo on their side.

Although he looked too thin to be vulnerable, as the opponent approached a little bit, Atsushi Nakajima smelled a dangerous smell, and resisted the urge to retreat.

Atsushi Nakajima felt in a trance that there seemed to be only "Edogawa Ranpo" and him left in the world. The sound of crisp footsteps came regularly and entered his ears uncontrollably. The sound became louder and louder. As he got closer, a sense of oppression followed, and a sudden panic enveloped him, making Atsushi Nakajima a little out of breath.

This, this is Mr. Ranpo?

Could Mr. Ranpo have such a strong sense of oppression?

Just a second before Atsushi Nakajima fell into the abyss, a hand with strong knuckles pressed his shoulder, causing him to fall back into the world.

"Breathe." Osamu Dazai said, exerting a little force in his hands.

It was only then that Atsushi Nakajima realized that he had been holding his breath. He inhaled violently as if he was about to suffocate, his chest made a sound like a bellows breaking, his back was wet with cold sweat, and his shirt was stuck to his chest. On his thin back, he couldn't help shivering when the breeze blew, Dazai Osamu patted his shoulder again, this time with greater strength.

"Don't panic, nothing will happen."

Seeing Atsushi Nakajima's miserable situation, Ranpo Edogawa wrinkled his face, and complained to Sakurai with some dissatisfaction: "What are you doing!"

"I'm sorry, I'm still not used to it, I won't do it next time." Kazuki Sakurai admitted his mistake straightforwardly, but his tone was still brisk, which made people doubt whether the apology was sincere.

Although it doesn't look like it, Sakurai Hato didn't do it on purpose... Edogawa Ranpo himself doesn't have supernatural powers, so Sakurai Hato was secretly surprised when he subconsciously used it, because he came to this place The whole world has not been more than 10 minutes now, so the ability of the vest and the control of some subconscious actions brought about by the growth of the progress bar are indeed not skilled enough.

The first time I accidentally used the ability and was bumped into by two of the script trio, this luck is a bit outrageous, but things have developed to this point, compared to hesitating about the past that cannot be changed, Sakura Jing Yu is more inclined to reap some benefits for himself on the current basis.

For example, let's see if these script team members have any ideas about his identity, and if there is anything they can learn from.

The first is the ability of "Contractor Ranpo". Sakurai's only clue now is the "Contractor" in the name of the vest... There are several types of contractors in Sakurai's impression, and all of them have to pay a certain amount. Ability can only be acquired at a price.

After learning that the emotional perception of "Edogawa Ranpo" is different, Sakurai further locked the target in one of the options... For some reasons, Sakurai didn't want the thing to really be him As expected.

Now Sakurai needs to figure out three things: first, what is his ability, second, what did he pay for this ability, third, and the most important point——

What is the reason for the "contractor's random steps", and he would rather pay the price to gain the ability.

These points can actually be figured out by Sakurai alone, but there is a ready-made labor force (referring to the script team) here, and he definitely has no reason to refuse.

Besides, in the current situation, even if Sakurai doesn't say anything, Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo will take the initiative to dig out the truth... So Sakurai actually only needs to be a little bit when the other party's guess deviates too much Just pull it once, and just sit back and enjoy the rest of the time.

Well, first of all, you need to gain the trust of the other party...

Anyway, Osamu Dazai is probably also looking for an opportunity to test whether Sakurai Yo is a disguise with supernatural powers, and he himself offered to show his sincerity.

Thinking of this, Sakurai took the initiative to reach out to Osamu Dazai.

This is not a handshake gesture. The palms are spread upwards. Generally speaking, it is not asking for something from others, or inviting others to put their hands on.

This move seemed a bit inexplicable, but because of his understanding of Mr. Ranpo, Osamu Dazai understood in an instant that this was the other party's desire to prove that he was not disguised by a different ability.

If it was someone else, Osamu Dazai would pretend to trust and skip this matter first, to get a wave of the other party's favorability, and then inadvertently touch the other party when getting along further, to complete the purpose of the temptation... But looking at the black hair in front of him Young man, Osamu Dazai felt that there was no need for him to do so.

Osamu Dazai shook Sakurai's hand in an awkward posture, and then shook it, saying hello as if he was really happy to meet Sakurai.

Of course, Sakurai's appearance has not changed in any way, and there is no trace of plastic surgery or makeup on his face, so Osamu Dazai judges that the appearance of the person in front of him can at least be real.

In addition, there is another piece of information that increases the possibility that the opposite person is "Edogawa Ranpo".

Osamu Dazai's supernatural ability - "Disqualification in the World" can eliminate the effects of all supernatural abilities. This ability is extremely rare, allowing him to become a trump card that can change the direction of war for people with supernatural abilities. Therefore, Osamu Dazai's information is extremely secret... knowing his supernatural ability As far as he knows, there is no organization that spends such a lot of energy in falsification, and directly makes people appear in front of the Lord without defense.

In addition to the topic, there is another point worth noting that at the moment when Osamu Dazai shook Sakurai's hand, Yamada, who had already walked in front of the fiancé on the other side, suddenly woke up, and quickly glanced around, as if not It's like understanding why I "teleported".

After Osamu Dazai discovered this, he wanted to dig further, but it was obviously inappropriate in front of Sakurai, he secretly wrote down the information on Yamada's badge, and let go of Sakura as if nothing had happened. Izuku's hand.

Edogawa Ranpo who was on the side was very satisfied when he saw this, clapped his hands, and attracted the attention of other people present: "Then the incident is also resolved, let's go eat!"

This was a declaration rather than a proposal, and Edogawa Ranpo did not intend to give the option of rejection at all.

The newcomer Yamada, who was relieved, stopped him at the exit: "Wait, the case has not yet..."

Although it looks a little reckless, he really cares about the case and wants to bring the real murderer to justice... That's why he was very angry at Sakurai's indifference before.

It's a pity that Edogawa Ranpo is not a person who understands the world, and he can be said to be comparable to Sakurai in terms of damage to Yamada.

Osamu Dazai was about to explain the current situation in a more tactful tone for the sake of the reputation of the detective agency, but the somewhat impatient Edogawa Ranpo interrupted first: "It's all on the surface, why can't you see it? What? As I said just now, that fiancé is the murderer."

He put his hands on his hips and pointed at the man who wanted to sneak away. The fiancé paused after being discovered, but he didn't lose his composure. He straightened his tie in a dignified manner, and said that I have the right to refuse before my lawyer arrives. In his speech, he also tried to warn Edogawa Ranpo not to accuse him blindly, he is rich and powerful, if you continue to slander me, the problem will be very serious.

Edogawa ran at the man and made a face, pulled Sakurai who was looking at something beside him, squeezed away the people around him, and pretended to leave.

"Anyway, that's the way it is. I don't want to worry about you anymore. I'll take care of the transcripts and the like. Ranpo-sama has more important things to do now." Edogawa Ranpo said before leaving.

……

Edogawa dragged Sakurai Kasumi to the front, Dazai Osamu and Nakajima Atsushi followed behind them like bodyguards, murmuring what they were talking about.

"Contractor Ranpo" doesn't have any force enhancement, so Sakurai can't hear what the two are talking about at all. Although he can figure it out at a glance, he is not interested in it. Sakurai's current attention Most of them focus on Edogawa Ranpo's character and habits.

Edogawa Ranpo has shown his inhuman wisdom since he was very young.

After his parents discovered Edogawa Ranpo's super reasoning ability to see through the truth behind things in an instant, the parents who worried that he would go astray, said that he was an ordinary child, and the things he saw It's all taken for granted.

This also caused Edogawa Ranpo to have a characteristic.

Because he sees too clearly, he doesn't understand what the world looks like in the eyes of ordinary people at all. He doesn't know what he should know and what he shouldn't know at all. Don't worry, say what comes to mind.

Thinking of this, Sakurai suddenly realized that he and the mission target had multiple things in common.

A large part of Sakurai Hato's characteristics overlaps with that of Edogawa Ranpo, so to some extent, Sakurai Hato can be himself once in a while?

After finishing the simple self-analysis, Edogawa asked abruptly in Sakurai's ears, "Have you figured it out?"

Sakurai Makoto nodded without hesitation: "I figured it out."

No one could understand what they were saying except the person involved.

……

"Well, is it okay to let Mr. Ranpo stay with Mr. Ranpo who doesn't know where he came from?"

Atsushi Nakajima said worriedly: "That Mr. Ranpo looks so dangerous. If he suddenly attacks, what if our Mr. Ranpo is injured?"

"It's a pity, but what you imagined won't happen... In the final analysis, Mr. Ranpo is not a martial artist." Osamu Dazai shook his head, expressing his disagreement, "His sense of oppression does not come from Force value is so superficial and superficial."

Having said this, Osamu Dazai swallowed the part that was not suitable for explaining to Atsushi Nakajima, his eyes darkened.

Atsushi Nakajima fell into panic before, which was related to the supernatural ability of "Edogawa Ranpo", but the relationship was not as great as imagined.

"His every move carries strong psychological hints, and this is the most important source of the sense of oppression you feel." Osamu Dazai murmured.

The role of psychological hints is generally not as strong as people think, but the psychological hints mastered by "Edogawa Ranpo" can not be regarded as "normal circumstances" after seeing Atsushi Nakajima's experience just now.

And such a proficient skill must go through a lot of contact...

When Osamu Dazai lowered his voice, it seemed that one of the famous "double blacks" in the world had returned. For a moment, Atsushi Nakajima felt the familiar sense of oppression a few minutes ago.

Fortunately, this heavy atmosphere didn't last long. In the next second, Osamu Dazai returned to the heartless look that Atsushi Nakajima was more familiar with, with his hands behind his back, speaking in a brisk tone like that of a high school girl Comforting Atsushi Nakajima:

"Well, but he doesn't seem to have any malice towards us now, and Mr. Ranpo must be aware of it himself. Don't scare yourself here, he will be bald after a long time."

Seeing Osamu Dazai as usual, Atsushi Nakajima felt as if he had found support for a moment, calmed down temporarily, and raised another very meaningful topic: "Speaking of which, where is Mr. Ranpo going? This is the second time we have met."

The author has something to say:
