I, Zhongli, wander the world

The date on the invitation was thoughtfully set one month later, so there was no rush in terms of time.Seeing that Edogawa Ranpo was so excited, Zhong Li, who was always going wherever he wanted, would naturally not reject the boy on the grounds of the situation.

It's just that although Zhongli is not in a hurry, the various forces who learned about this from hidden channels have blown up the pot one after another.The attendants of the clock tower in England urgently contacted Adam, who had been in contact with Zhongli, and someone from Japan's Supernatural Secret Service came to him.

Of course, considering that Zhong Li is only a few words away from acknowledging his true identity, the Supernatural Agents Class will naturally not only invite conversations in the car like it treats ordinary people.Formal invitations and reservations are essential, and even the interviewees are directors of the Secret Service Division who have enough weight and know Zhongli well.

The two talked for a full two hours in the most expensive restaurant in Chinatown, and no one knew what they talked about.It was only the next day after that that Zhongli got the visa that he got the green light all the way to expedite.

As for the United States, Fitzgerald, who is not short of money, has already managed it from top to bottom, and the customs are smooth all the way, so naturally there will be no additional problems.

A month passed quickly.

In the brightly lit airport, the air-conditioning was turned on at a suitable temperature, and a group of people sat in the waiting hall and waited for the boarding announcement.Zhong Li was reading a magazine that he took from the newspaper section to pass the time, while Osamu Dazai curled up next to him, soundly asleep.Edogawa Ranbo, who was holding a bag of snacks, looked left and right, and stretched out his hand to poke the side, closing his eyes and resting his mind in Zhongyuan Zhongya.

"Mr. Tangerine, why don't you accompany me to buy soda, I'm thirsty after eating a lot of snacks." Edogawa said while shaking the bag in his hand.

"Didn't you tell me not to eat so fast?" Zhong Yuan Zhong also opened his eyes helplessly, looked at the unashamed Edogawa Ranpo, and then turned to Zhong Li who was reading a magazine: "Sir, you have to Control your indiscriminate junk food intake."

My husband is good at everything, but he is too lenient in some matters, so lenient that he has to shoulder the burden of education at a young age.

"It's still a while before the plane takes off, and it's understandable to fill your stomach with snacks." Zhong Li turned over a page of the magazine, "Just remember not to eat too much, and don't continue after this bag is finished .”

Edogawa Ranpo, who had already eaten enough, responded obediently: "Okay——"

Seeing that the little friend really agreed sincerely, Nakahara Nakaya stood up, "Forget it, let's not take this as an example, I'll go and buy it, what do you want, Ranbu?"

"Okay! The old-fashioned cherry-flavored sparkling water, please Mr. Tangerine!"

"I'd like coffee, the decaffeinated kind, thank you." Osamu Dazai raised his hand suddenly while sleeping, and said weakly.

"You who know the way, let me go!"

Zhong Yuanzhong also glared at him, and said angrily.

Although he did not refuse in the end, he even agreed to bring back a cup of tea for his husband.

The nearby vending machine had coffee and tea, but was out of sparkling water.Zhong Yuanzhong also walked a little further according to his impression, and found a new vending machine in front of the glass wall near the entrance.

"Public relations officer, I heard that you have made a big deal on this mission! It's super cool!"

"Haha, it's not that exaggerated, the main credit is all cold-blooded..."

Voices could be heard faintly from beyond the glass wall.Zhong Yuanzhong also subconsciously followed the voice, only to see that the temperament around him was not like ordinary people, a group of people were talking and walking along the wall.Although a few of them were wearing short-sleeved clothes, they had coats on their arms that were obviously not suitable for this season, and they were still dragging heavy suitcases in their hands.

Are you the member from the other world who came to pick you up?

Zhong Yuanzhong also thought curiously, maybe he had been staring for a long time, and the person with a gentler temperament than others suddenly turned his head and looked straight at him.

After realizing that it was just an ordinary boy looking at them, the man was obviously taken aback, and then nodded politely at Zhong Yuanzhong.

Zhong Yuanzhong also politely returned the gift, picked up the cherry-flavored soda that had popped out of the vending machine outlet, and walked towards the terminal where he came.

Two groups of people walked across the glass wall.

Then pass by.

To Nakahara, this incident was just a minor episode, not even enough to leave a mark in his heart.After he brought the soda to Ranbu, he quickly boarded the plane to the United States with everyone.

It takes more than half a day to fly from Japan to the United States. When the plane docked at the terminal, Osamu Dazai, who has never been too lazy to exercise, was already so weak from sitting.

Zhong Li supported the young man who was stuck to him like noodles, and said, "After this matter, you have to exercise hard."

"But it's really tiring!" Osamu Dazai blinked pitifully, hoping to get Zhongli's sympathy by being cute.

Nakahara, who was following behind, couldn't bear to look directly and turned his head away, suddenly noticing the thoughtful expression of Edogawa Ranbu beside him.

Zhong Yuanzhong also blinked, "What's wrong, Luanbu?"

"It's so strange..." Edogawa rubbed his chin and said to himself, "This airport is an international airport, why are there so few people?"

Zhong Yuan was also startled, frowning and scanning the airport without any trace.

Their flight was specially selected, and the arrival time happened to be in the afternoon in the United States, which should be the time when the airport has the most passenger traffic.But the crowds we saw were sparse, obviously not up to the standard of an international airport.

Zhong Yuanzhong also subconsciously became vigilant.

"Huh? You don't need to be particularly vigilant, I was just thinking..."

Before Edogawa Ranpo finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden exaggerated laughter.

"As expected of a detective specially invited by the staff team." The blond-haired, blue-eyed man greeted him with a hearty smile, "That's right, the flight here has been adjusted by me, all I need is some small money tricks .”

"...I was wondering why someone would spend money on such a place." Edogawa Ranpo said firmly.

The blond man who was complained about was not angry, and still said very generously: "That's not what I said, little detective. Of course money is spent, as long as I spend it in the right place, I can always reap more rewards." The original money is more profitable. For example, welcome the arrival of Mr. Zhongli."

"Ah, I just learned Chinese, please forgive me if my pronunciation is not standard."

Yes, the blond man has been speaking in Chinese since the first sentence he met.

And the pronunciation is surprisingly smooth.

Fortunately, all the people present had learned some Chinese, so they could still understand what he was talking about.Zhong Li shook his head, and said disapprovingly: "You don't need to be courteous to me in this matter, just communicate normally."

The sentence was in English, with Old English vocabulary and an elegant accent.

The blond man, who was not persistent, switched his language seamlessly to show how much he valued Zhongli: "Oh, I was reckless. Your pronunciation is really beautiful, and your erudition also shocked me."

"—Is this the height that God can reach?"

The air suddenly froze because of these words.

On the other hand, Zhongli, who was the topic, remained calm. He looked at the blond man in front of him and said, "No one has ever spoken so bluntly in front of me, Mr. Fitzgerald."

"Haha, that's probably because none of them are me." Fitzgerald laughed and waved his hands, "It's my honor to be evaluated by Mr. Zhongli like that."

With the arrogance of personal style in details, but with a subtle generosity in dealing with others, this is Fitzgerald.

The enthusiastic man led them out of the airport, and drove them to their residence in a brand new luxury car.

"In addition to the detective competition, you can also play in the United States without worry, and all expenses will be charged to my account." In the car, Fitzgerald promised solemnly, "Please rest assured, I am different from other organizations. The combination does not lack strength and influence, this time I invite you to come to the United States, only in my own name."

"On the contrary, I have a request, Mr. Zhongli, please allow me to follow the record."

Zhong Yuanzhong, who was listening, also blinked, not understanding why this person was so eager to take advantage of him.

Zhong Li was not too surprised, "It must be that during this period of time, Mr. Fitzgerald has already gained a lot of benefits from other forces by inviting me."

Fitzgerald, who had been pointed out of his purpose, was not embarrassed, and said generously: "Ordinary businessmen have a pair of eyes to find business opportunities, but successful businessmen know how to create business opportunities by themselves. I have gained wealth, and Mr. Zhongli has a wonderful life. Holidays, it’s a mutual benefit thing.”

"In terms of universal rationality, it is indeed so." Zhong Li said with a smile.

He thought of the condensed light far away on the Tivat continent.That kid is also good at creating business opportunities, and took advantage of them as a matter of course, and only then did he step by step reach the current position of heavenly authority.

Fitzgerald has the same quality.

On the premise of a fair deal, he doesn't mind helping out.

Meanwhile, the airport.

With Fitzgerald's departure, the airport's flights increased again, and passenger traffic gradually normalized.

Another plane landed, and the passengers got off the plane one after another. Old men dressed in folk customs mixed with the tourists and walked out of the terminal building at a leisurely pace.

"Well, all the monsters nearby have been cleaned up." He pulled down his sunglasses, looked at the open space in front of the exit and said to himself, "But it's no wonder, after all, it's a god that has never really appeared. , it is only natural for the monsters to retreat..."

The old man dressed strangely was talking to himself in the middle of the road, with a strange smile on his face, all the passing passengers cast inexplicable stares, then shrugged and walked away.

The old man, who didn't care about the gazes around him at all, took out an old notebook from his pocket, and murmured while writing: "Well, the dinner won't be served until a week later, let's check it out before then. I remember that there is an Indian tribe in the nearby mountains? The elves in their religious concept are very interesting..."

As the old man spoke, his figure gradually merged into the crowd, leaving only one sentence in place.

"...Maybe it can breed quite good monsters."
