There are still 10 minutes before twelve o'clock noon, Jiku at the foot of Yanshan Mountain.

"I already know, Edogawa, the truth about the murder you committed with your own hands." Ayatsuji pedestrian said.

With these words, the air seemed to freeze.

Noctua Moth, who didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, looked at Edogawa Ranpo suspiciously, but in his eyes, this young man with a good wrist at a young age stood under the shadow of the curse spirit, with an expression as indifferent as if he was on his face. Covered with a layer of black veil.

The phantom thief Osamu Dazai who was sitting on the roof of the forbidden warehouse behind him curled up his lips, as if he was in high spirits.

He really should be in high spirits, after all, this is the attitude this game should have.No one is sure of winning until the last moment.

"I lost in an unexpected place, Mr. Ranpo." The strange thief said, as if he was on fire, "Why did the bodyguard who protected you want to kill you instead? No, the strange thing should be—Mr. Ranpo , You didn't notice it."

He smiled, and said on behalf of Edogawa: "Because that is the bodyguard that Eicura Masaki selected for you, right?"

"Obviously just to use the object, but always do some unnecessary things, because there is no harm to me, so I let him arrange it." Edogawa Ranpo said.

Senator Eikura never regarded Ranpo Edogawa as an outlier because of his monster-like brain, but regarded him as an ordinary young junior.That's why Mr. Eicang always felt that Edogawa Ranpo was not safe around him, especially before Edogawa Ranpo was offered a reward by a cursed master.

It is not once or twice to order the bodyguards to follow.The bodyguards chosen by Mr. Rongcang shouldn't have made such a mistake, but their opponent was that devil.

This place was taken advantage of by the devil.

There is trust to Ranpo Edogawa, and Ranpo Edogawa has murder fact.And now, Ayatsuji pedestrians have deduced the truth.

[Another] activation conditions have been collected.

Edogawa Ranpo looked at Ayatsuji pedestrian calmly, as if the one whose life was threatened was not himself.

"It's okay, you can say it, Ayatsuji. Detectives just want to tell the truth, don't they?" said the criminal who was not a detective.There was complete calm in his green pupils, there was no expression on his face and there was no hysteria.

"I can see that you are a criminal at the first sight of you, your eyes, your feelings towards human beings, all of which point to a result - you don't care about life, you only care about yourself." Ayatsuji pedestrian Looking at Ranpo Edogawa calmly, "How dare you say something like 'the job of a detective is to tell the truth' to me, who is like air to you."

"Even if you don't admit it, I'm still a detective." Edogawa Ranpo, the current head of the detective agency and the only detective, emphasized.

Ayatsuji Xingren snorted coldly: "You just think that if I say it, it won't affect your victory, criminal."

Willing to bring Ayatsuji pedestrians with him, how could Edogawa Ranpo have no way to deal with it.

Edogawa Ranpo stated: "It has been locked by [Another], so it doesn't matter if the next action will kill anyone. The best solution is to let the felt uncle next to me help me control Dazai, and use [Renjian Disqualification] Temporarily restrain [Another], and then kill you during this time, the problem will be solved."

Even if [Another] can continue to activate after the death of Ayatsuji Xingren, he still has a 'book'.

"It's just like this, the devil will have no checks and balances, and it will be very troublesome." He added with some annoyance.

The bewildered 'Uncle Felt' Noctua Masadao was stunned. He looked at Osamu Dazai who was sitting on the roof of the treasury, and then at Ranpo Edogawa who was standing in the shadow of the curse spirit.He didn't know why these reformers suddenly started fighting among themselves, but he could still understand the simple superficial information.

What Edogawa Ranpo means is that he wants to help him, borrow Dazai Osamu's [Disqualification in the World] to resist the spell of the yellow-haired detective named [Another], and then kill the detective.What Edogawa Ranpo said was right, for the sake of Edogawa Ranpo's status over there, if he spoke the Noctuma Righteous Path, he would definitely assist him.

Among the people present, Edogawa Ranpo had the highest status. If Edogawa Ranpo died in the treasury, they would definitely be held accountable.

Night Moth Zhengdao is not alone, he has the entire high school behind him, he cannot be willful.

The Phantom Thief who watched the excitement clapped his hands and said, "Hey, Mr. 'Murder Detective' Ayatsuji, so what is the truth you deduced?"

He didn't care about Edogawa Ranpo's plan at all, and waited for the drama to continue with a smile.

It seems that he doesn't care who will die at all.

Ayatsuji pedestrian raised his hand to take a puff of cigarette, but then found that because he was carrying Fyodor's materials along the way, he didn't bring out the pipe, but put it in the office.The moment he realized it, he paused for raising his hand, then put it down again.

He talked about his reasoning: "As you said, the world is reincarnated."

"Edogawa who holds the 'book' keeps restarting the world and going back in time for some reason." Ayatsuji pedestrians learned this fact from the conversation between Edogawa Ranpo and Osamu Dazai just now.

"The criminals only provide methods and never do it yourself, but Sakaguchi did see you kill 'many people' with your own hands." Ayatsuji pedestrian said slowly, "If that happened before the start of this reincarnation, then 【Another】 There is a chance that there is nothing you can do about it.”

After all, the time of the whole world has been traced back. The events of the last reincarnation may not necessarily be counted as events that have already happened, and may also be judged by [Another] as a future that has not happened.

Ayatsuji pedestrians originally thought that this was Edogawa Ranpo's confidence in dealing with [Another], but he quickly overturned this speculation.

"The curse spirit behind you exposed you, criminal master, you can't see it, right?" said Ayatsuji pedestrian.

The curse spirit that has lost its stimulus source no longer cries, it makes strange murmurs from time to time behind Edogawa Ranpo.

【Save, save me...】

[Can you help me? 】

But Edogawa Ranpo, who was closest to it, was an ordinary person, he could neither see nor hear.

"I can't see it." Edogawa Ranpo admitted.

This is a barrier that he cannot break as an ordinary person.

Behind the curse spirit, the strange thief rested his chin, quietly listening to the detective's reasoning.

Ayatsuji pedestrian seemed to laugh ironically, and continued: "It was very quiet before, and it would only appear when you were in danger. For example, murderous, such as Mu Cangkou. Among them, it reacted most strongly to Mu Cangkou. "

The first time witnessed by Ayatsuji pedestrians was murderous, but just now was the second and most critical time, the murder weapon was Mu Cang.

"And when you did it yourself, you used Mucang." Ayatsuji pedestrian said, "'Curse Spirit' is the person you killed, very simple reasoning."

But this is not reasonable.

Ango Sakaguchi saw that Edogawa Ranpo killed many people. It happened before he came to this world, not in this world where magic spirits can be produced.But the curse spirit was born.

This is the biggest contradiction in this reasoning, and it is also the only breakthrough in the case.

His voice cooled down: "This curse spirit has super potential, and it has its own feelings. Edogawa, you have no way to control the actions of this curse spirit."

And the most important point is that these curse spirits were obviously killed by Edogawa Ranpo, but they are protecting Edogawa Ranpo with practical actions.

Everything he does comes from the heart, but assuming that the curse spirit curses Edogawa Ranpo to become a super curse spirit because of hatred for the person who killed him, then it should not protect Edogawa Ranpo.

Ayatsuji pedestrian repeated the words of the magic spirit in his own tone.

"'Please save me', this is what the magic spirit behind you keeps repeating. It wants to survive, so it appears when 'self' is threatened with life, and protects 'myself'. That's how it is, look protected by it People, the truth has come to light."

Perhaps among the few people present, the only one who didn't know the truth was the principal of the high school who was an outsider, but the detective still used his somewhat indifferent tone to tell the truth he deduced in front of everyone. .

It was a truth that was beyond his expectations, similar to the grandmother's paradox.

"The person you kill is yourself."

Holding the 'book', he killed his past self, made himself a singularity, and lived forever.

Such a paradox-like singularity followed him to another world, and mutated from the characteristics of the other world into a curse spirit.And the number of dead 'self' keeps accumulating in reincarnation, and this superimposed causality directly leads to the curse spirit possessing special abilities from the moment it is born.

And the reason for its birth was not that the cursed spirit cursed to kill its 'self', but that the cursed spirit cursed everything that hurt the 'self'.

The curse spirit and Edogawa Ranpo were originally one.

Ayatsuji pedestrian's eyes hidden under the yellow lenses were sharp and clear.

"The deceased is——Edogawa Ranpo."

...

Osamu Dazai who has [Disqualification in the World] can be an exception in reincarnation, and so can Edogawa Ranpo who has a 'book'.

But there's one difference, and that's a crucial difference.

It is impossible for a second identical person to appear in the world. This is a law that cannot be changed even by 'books'.Maybe Dazai Osamu can use [Disqualification in the World] to circumvent this uniqueness, but Edogawa Luanpo can't.

Edogawa, who is just an ordinary person, can't do anything.

...

"Why did I do something wrong? Why is the world of adults so difficult to understand?" The child who couldn't integrate into society hugged his knees, and poured out his troubles to the air in front of him alone.

The sun shone on him, but it was not warm at all.

This city called Yokohama is too cold for children.

At this time, a mature adult came over and stood five steps away from the child, which happened to be in the shadow of the fence.

The adult's eyes were the same blue color as the child's. Looking down at the child, he rationally pointed out the root of the problem: "It's very simple, they are lying."

The unexpected answer made the child turn his head to look in surprise.

He saw a man with the same face as his.They were all dressed in black, but one was a police academy uniform and the other was an expensive suit.They are all not very tall, with slender limbs and straight black hair.

But they are so different.

The adults in the shadows are like an extremely rich dark green in the dark, while the children in the sun are just green shoots on the branches.

It is a bud that is about to wither early.

"Obviously the reason has been deduced, hasn't it?" The adult said calmly, as if talking about other people's affairs, "'My parents lied to me', such a simple fact, why have you not admitted it?"

This sentence angered the child. He moved his hands from his knees, put them on the ground, and raised his voice to refute the adults' words.

"Father and mother will not lie to me—" said the child, stopping suddenly.There was some tremor in that voice: "Wu Cang?!"

The cold wooden cang was aimed at him, and the adult holding the wooden cang stared at the child indifferently.

Watching, the former him.

At the age of 14, he just walked out of the greenhouse called family, wandering in an unfamiliar street, he was confused, puzzled, and didn't understand why the world of adults was so different from what he imagined.

He stubbornly believed the lies given by his parents, and kept asking himself if he was too clumsy.

But the truth is clearly in front of us.

He didn't understand, and he asked the same question, asking the same adult Edogawa Ranpo: "You are obviously me, why did you hold up the wooden barn to me?! Do you want, kill me?"

But the adults just looked at him with that indifferent expression.

"Because there is only one Edogawa Ranpo in this world, and I only need one Edogawa Ranpo." The adult said.

"Then why am I the one who died?" the child asked.

This question was so naive as to be ridiculous, but the adults still answered it.

This is answering himself.

"Because no one will save you."

It's like the night when he was 14 years old and cried until he passed out in a cardboard box and no one found him.

No one will save him, no one in this world will save Edogawa Ranpo.

In the parallel world, there is no one who would take him away and take him to eat red bean rice cakes.

The lord raised the wooden barn, and there was neither sadness nor joy in his dark eyes.He aimed Mu Cangkou at his former self.

"boom--"

He pulled the trigger.

He killed himself.

past self.

He fell into the sun, and he remained in the darkness forever.

...

At this time, there are still 5 minutes at twelve o'clock at noon.
