I keep peace by drawing cards

One of the most important requirements for access to 42nd Street is that of a human being.

At the checkpoint, there are soldiers in armor guarding. Everyone who enters No. 42 Street will be scanned first, and only those who are determined to be human can enter.

The residents living in No. 42 Street are either rich or noble. Except for being human, they cannot carry any weapons when entering.

There are many shops in the street, which maintain the appearance before the big collapse, which is completely different from the outside of the street.

In the chaotic city, this place was artificially painted as a "Garden of Eden".

There are many outsiders standing outside the checkpoint. Human beings come and go and hand over the things they bought from the agents in the street to their employers.

No outsider can enter 42nd Street, and people who want to buy things in the shops on 42nd Street can only purchase through human agents.

Under normal circumstances, these daigou offer high prices.

It seems that after three years, the aliens and humans have been able to live in peace, but this is only the appearance.

The chain of contempt has always existed. Human beings look down on people from other worlds, and similarly, people from other worlds also look down on humans.

There used to be riots by people from other worlds who fought for power, and it took a period of time to achieve the current balance.

But now this balance is very fragile, and a slight crack can cause the entire peaceful situation to fall apart.

Kogoro Mori passes the scanner first.

Fog spreads in HL from time to time, and the air quality outside is not good, causing him to suffer from rhinitis.

His nose kept running, and his face was blushed.

As soon as I entered 42nd Street, the blocked nostril opened.

The scenery inside and outside the street is completely different.

In the street, trees were planted on both sides of the road, the air was fresh, and Mori Kogoro could faintly smell the fragrance of flowers in the air.

He took a deep breath, and his whole body came alive.

There is a wall between heaven and hell.

Amuro looked up and saw the sun above the dome.

The sky over HL was covered with thick gray fog, and the sun could not be seen, but inside 42nd Street, there were things that could not be seen outside.

He reached out to catch the sun, but he held it so tightly that the sun flowed away from his fingertips.

The dome on 42nd Street is specially made, and the sunlight and the sun are simulated virtually.

In order to maintain the "paradise" in this "hell", it will cost a lot of maintenance fees.

Amuro Toru smiled a little indifferently, no matter where there are classes.

"Uncle Maori, Jons Mall!"

Conan pointed to the tallest building in the street and said excitedly.

Nako Asahi's new book signing event was held on the first floor of Jons Mall, and the electronic screen had already started playing advertisements in a loop.

Many cars have been parked in the parking lot outside Jons, most of them are luxury cars.

Mori Kogoro sighed: "Is Asakawa Mitsuru's family so famous? There are so many people who support him?"

Toru Amuro nodded his chin, recalling Nako Asahina's information.

Nako Asahina is a dark writer who has emerged in recent years, with sharp writing, and the book is full of large-scale plots that make people think about it and make people feel chilling.

One of the reasons why he became popular is that he dared to write too much.

He wrote everything, he was not afraid of offending people, and he was able to publish the book in a stable manner without being blocked by others, which shows that he has a strong power behind him.

Mori Kogoro had just arrived at the door, and someone greeted him, who respectfully said, "Is this Mr. Mori?"

Kogoro Mori was very satisfied with the respect of the other party. Asahina knew that this man was a little vain at the first sight when he saw him, so he specially sent someone to greet him and hold him.

Mori Kogoro straightened his shoulders, lowered his voice and pretended to be serious: "Yes, I am Mori Kogoro."

The other party bent down slightly and pointed his hand inward: "Mr. Maori, please follow me."

The decoration at the signing event was very simple, and the colors used were actually cool.

The cover of Asahina Nako's new book is a silhouette, and the decoration with the book cover is opened, which looks a little weird in the cold color.

Conan shook his body, trying to get closer to Xiaolan, but was blocked by Toru Amuro who brushed over temporarily.

He leaned slightly to look at Conan, and said with a smile, "Conan, what's the matter?"

Conan: "...The arrangement of this signing event is eerie, I'm a little scared."

Amuro still had a smile on his face, he joked: "Kenan-kun is not too scared every time he sees a corpse, but a gloomy scene makes you scared?"

But before he could speak, he heard Amuro Toru say something meaningful: "I sometimes wonder, Conan, are you a child or not?"

Conan tilted his head and looked like he didn't understand: "Brother Anshi, what are you talking about?"

Toru Amuro changed his words: "Are you a primary school student? Why didn't I see how you go to school, and you run around with Mr. Mori every day."

Think about it carefully, Conan is too leisurely as a primary school student, right?

I've never seen him do homework after school, maybe he just goes out for various trips, and runs here and there with Kogoro Mouri, as if he doesn't need to go to school at all.

Conan said contemptuously: "Brother Amuro, are you stupid, it's a holiday now."

Toru Amuro: "Why do I feel that you are on vacation every day?"

Conan: "Elementary school students, it's normal to have many holidays."

Is it normal?

Toru Amuro was skeptical. He recalled that he was not so free when he was in elementary school.

"This is a rest room specially prepared for Mr. Maori. There are refreshments in it. You can enjoy it to your heart's content."

"Haha, good - good -"

Mori Kogoro kept smiling on his face, it was the first time he felt that a famous detective was treated so well.

After not resting in the lounge for a long time, Mori Kogoro was invited to the signing event.

Asahina Kogoro was chatting on the platform, and when he saw Kogoro Mori arrived, he immediately invited him to the stage: "I specially invited a special guest for today's book signing event, welcome to the 'Sleeping Kogoro' detective Mori Kogoro Sir, come to the stage and say a few words."

Nako Asahina stepped back from the podium.

It's really boring, he has been lying with some people for a long time, and his face is stiff.

The system prompt sounded suddenly:

[The main plot characters "Osamu Dazai" and "Oda" are approaching. 】

Yes, the protagonist "Oda", who was born from Asahi Nako, is also the main plot character.

Following behind Oda, Osamu Dazai swaggered into the mall.

"Odasaku, why do you have an invitation letter for the autograph event?"

Osamu Dazai looked at the invitation card in Oda's hand inquiringly.

Entering is the new book signing event of Mitsuru Asakawa, and the limited sale event held in Jons Mall is destined to be not a simple signing event.

Entering the signing event requires a special invitation letter from the organizer, and Dazai Osamu did not get an invitation letter even though he was among the fans of Asakawa Mitsuru.

It is so difficult to get an invitation letter, and the only ones who can come to the scene are some famous people. Where did Odasaku's invitation letter come from?

"It was given by the house downstairs of the detective agency."

Osamu Dazai's eyes widened in disbelief: "The home downstairs of the detective agency?!"

Oda didn't know why Osamu Dazai was so excited, he had nothing to say but just let out a "huh".

Osamu Dazai asked: "The house downstairs is Mitsuru Asakawa? How did you know each other?"

"His name is Asahina Ko, because he knows something about me..." Oda truthfully told Osamu Dazai the whole process of their acquaintance.

Nako Asahina?

The author you're looking for has been living downstairs? !

"Odasaku, do you know which author's autograph session this is?"

Oda: "Isn't it Asahina-kun?"

Osamu Dazai pointed to a sign: "...Oda Saku, do you know that Asahina Hikaru you mentioned has a pseudonym, Asakawa Mitsuru?"

Oda shook his head slowly, with a serious expression: "I don't know."

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Really lost to him.

They improvised a spot, and the man in the blue suit kept talking.

Oda: "The one on stage is not Asahina-kun."

Osamu Dazai felt that he looked familiar, so he took a photo to read the picture: "The famous detective Mori Kogoro? I haven't heard of it."

If Luanbu knew that someone was casually named "Detective" by Guanyu, he would definitely be angry.

Oda saw Asahina Hikaru who was under the stage. He was very different from usual, wearing a suit and tall and straight. This was the first time Oda saw him in men's clothing.

It feels very different.

He covered his heart, what does it feel like?

Dazai Osamu noticed Oda's strangeness and asked, "What's wrong?"

Oda said confusedly: "I have a very special feeling for Asahina-kun. I can't help but want to get close to him. It seems that I have found my belonging by being close to him."

Osamu Dazai looked like he understood: "I know why you have such strange feelings when you see him."

Oda was puzzled: "Why?"

"Think about it, Odasaku, you are the protagonist in the novel, and Asahina Ko is the author, in other words..."

Osamu Dazai deliberately paused.

Oda: "How?"

Osamu Dazai continued: "In other words, isn't he your father? It's normal for children to have such strange emotions when they see their father, it's normal."

"Father?" Oda was a little dumbfounded.

Hee hee laughter came from the side, and Dazai Osamu held his stomach and laughed out of breath: "Hahahaha, it's so funny, Odasaku, you really believe it!!"

Oda smiled helplessly: "It's a prank."

He wasn't too angry, Osamu Dazai had such a temper, like a child.

Oda can see through his laughing and laughing appearance, he is hugging his heart that keeps crying.

He's just a brat, there's no need to argue with him.

Mori Kogoro finally finished speaking. He shared a case he had handled. He talked for almost half an hour, and he was bragging about himself for 25 minutes.

It is said to be a signing event, but it is more like a press conference.

There were many reporters sitting in the audience. After Kogoro Mori finished speaking, another man came on stage.

He looked about 50 to [-] years old, and he was leaning on a cane, and the person standing next to him should be his assistant.

The person who took the stage was the owner of the mall and one of the founders of 42nd Street - Jonce.

Asahina took advantage of Jonce's speech and quietly approached Oda.

"Mr. Oda, thank you for coming." Asahina looked at Osamu Dazai, "Who is this gentleman?"

Oda introduced: "Osamu Dazai, my colleague."

"A member of the detective agency..."

Before Asahina finished speaking, she was interrupted by the darkness after the lights went out.

"What happened?" Asahina Ko said.

The scene became chaotic, and the phone lights came on.

After 5 minutes, the lights came back on.

Assistant Jons said in horror: "Mr. Jons?!"

No one responded to him.

He dared to put his fingers under the bridge of Jon's nose, and he collapsed to the ground in fright, and tremblingly, he poked his neck again.

"Mr. Jons, he...he..."

"died!!"

The whole scene boiled like boiling water, and someone shouted: "Hurry up, call the police!"

"Yes, call the police!"

"Isn't the sleeping Kogoro here? He can solve the case."

"We're all doomed if we don't catch the murderer."

"It was Jons who died."

A young man in a peaked cap rushed onto the stage, with a bjd doll in a red dress hanging from his waist.

As soon as he got on stage, he began to examine the corpse as if no one else was there.

"There are no scars... I don't know if it was poisoned, but it doesn't look like poisoned..."

"Strange...why can't find the cause of death..."

The young man was still flipping through Jons' body.

The assistant snorted, "Who are you!"

Only then did the young man look up at him, the cool look in his eyes and the lifelessness in his body made the assistant take a step back.

The assistant trembled, it was a ghost!It's a ghost!

He screamed inwardly.

The young man opened his mouth to answer the assistant's question.

His voice was cold and clear, and the cold air that he carried made his blood freeze.

"Ayatsuji pedestrian, a detective."
