"So that's why you summoned me, Master?"

The gentleman standing in front of Ryosuke Araki showed a slightly helpless expression. He watched him, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

He acted like he knew him...

But Ryosuke Araki was sure this was the first time they met, so he frowned, thinking it was just an illusion.

"Don't you think it's interesting? Come to the real world and compete with a group of detectives, great detectives." Araki Ryosuke said, this was completely from his heart, and he praised him without hesitation, "To be honest, I can't think of the first Two Heroic Spirits who are more suitable to appear here."

Heroic spirit called as a detective, he has a tall and thin figure, sharp and sharp face, wearing a long trench coat with a shawl, holding a pipe in his hand - it is the heroic spirit named Sherlock Holmes, he is the world's most famous The world's most first-class, perhaps unparalleled consultant detective, the well-deserved uncrowned king of the detective world.

This detective from Great Britain has deciphered the scarlet research and seen through the Hound of Baskervilles. No matter whether it is ghosts, curses, monsters, or power struggles, they cannot escape his reasoning. If Ryosuke Araki needs a detective, No one is more qualified to be called than him.

Holmes' tone was full of good-natured British sarcasm, which did not make people feel offensive: "Then, Master, what is the purpose of calling me in the red telephone booth?"

Ryosuke Araki: "...I think this is the most British place in Japan."

His impression of Britain is the red telephone booths that can be seen everywhere.

Holmes laughed softly: "Yes, I will wait and see for the detective competition."

The heroic spirit transformed into a spirit body and disappeared into the phone booth.

The cave king's voice immediately sounded in his mind. He seemed to be very concerned about Holmes' appearance. This was the first time he heard the other party express his views on the fellow Heroic Spirit.

"I'm so curious. Is this guy a character created in the book, or is it just recorded and actually existed?"

As we all know, Sherlock Holmes comes from a novel, but the story is described by the detective assistant Dr. Watson, and it outlines a Victorian detective with dazzling light from the perspective of an onlooker.

This is different from many books that are clearly fiction. The narratives are so real that one can't help but wonder if there is such a detective.

Does Dr. Watson really exist?Is Sherlock Holmes really just a fictional character?

The answers to these questions may only be answered by himself.

And the Cave King is also a character in the world-renowned masterpiece "The Count of Monte Cristo", perhaps at this moment he suddenly resonated with his own identity, right?

The Cave King obviously didn't have the idea of ​​getting an answer from him. After he said this sentence in his mind to himself, he disappeared again, as if he was just following the Master, just like a real shadow. But do not intervene in any way against his behaviour.

"Have you calmed down yet?" he asked.

Ryosuke Araki exited the phone booth, walked slowly along the way he came, and walked towards Xiongying High School again. At this time, only a few students could be seen. They were fighting with each other and talking about some boring everyday words .

"Oh." The cave king said, "There is nothing to be angry about, because everyone in the world is like this. But your current thoughts make me feel that you are not completely hopeless."

It seems that he is no longer angry, and it is good that he is not angry, because he will be asked for help later.

He can not only find Merlin and Arthur, but also by his side. The Cave King can also do this, so he doesn't need to think too much.

"Cave King, can you help me hide my whereabouts?" Ryosuke Araki asked.

"You are really useless now! ——Let me help you with trivial matters. It's not worth mentioning."

After his voice fell, Ryosuke Araki happened to walk to the gate of Xiongying Security. It stands to reason that as long as anyone who has not been entered into the Xiongying system tries to pass through this gate, it will trigger an alarm from Xiongying Security, but when he walks through this gate, A barrier invisible to the naked eye unfolded, and the entire security system seemed to have failed, without making any sound.

He walked through the door and walked directly into the campus.

"Thank you." Araki Ryosuke said.

The Cave King didn't respond to him, presumably he didn't bother to claim credit for such a trivial matter.

He walked towards the teaching building, squinted his eyes and looked up at the sunlight. At the other end of the general science building was the exclusive teaching building for the heroic department. It's figure... this is where the next generation of great heroes is raised.

hero?It's a word I never thought of.

A few students passed by him, Araki Ryosuke paused, he quickly sorted out his mood, swept away those complicated emotions, and walked towards the teaching building.

Passing through the silent hall, he walked steadily towards the stairs, step by step, the entire teaching building was already empty, so his footsteps could be counted clearly, I believe that if the detective named Edgar Allan Poe was indeed there If he waits for someone, he should notice his visit.

But when he was going up to the corner on the second floor, he suddenly saw a small and cute raccoon squatting on the handrail of the stairs, flicking its tail back and forth, staring at him with round eyes.

...wait, raccoons? !

Does Xiongying still allow pets? ...

Noticing his slightly surprised gaze, it was like a specially arranged response person. The little raccoon, which was only the length of a human forearm, shook its ears tactfully, went down the handrail of the stairs, and hopped to the deserted woodland a few times. Then it stood up like a human being, grabbed his cuff with its front paws, and stared at him with watery eyes.

Ryosuke Araki: "..."

Fuck, so cute! !

He was directly attracted by the cuteness, and he didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he stretched out his finger and pointed at himself: "Do you mean to let me go with you?"

The little raccoon nodded, then leaped suddenly, landed on Araki Ryosuke's shoulder, and hooked his tail around his neck. He instantly felt that his shoulder was several grades heavier, and this one that should lose weight The tip of the cute little raccoon's tail points to the stairs, like a living guide sign.

Araki Ryosuke stretched out his hand to support it, for fear that the other party would slip down, and then climbed the stairs with a heavy load, until he reached the top of the building, the little raccoon let down the tip of its tail.

Roof?

He looked at the locked roof door, and before he stretched out his hand, a puff of black smoke came out quickly, helping him unlock it directly, as if he had noticed his sight, and then the black air condensed Formed into a small whip, he twitched his fingers arrogantly before disappearing from his sight.

Araki Ryosuke: "..." Why does this scene look familiar?

So it was the cave king who helped him unlock the lock that time, right? !

Well, it is really a first-class lockpicking Heroic Spirit...

As soon as the door lock was released, a gust of wind from the roof pushed the door open. Amidst the creaking sound, the cute little raccoon fell from his shoulder to the ground and quickly got into the door.

Araki Ryosuke also opened the door and walked out.

Standing on the top of the hero science teaching building and looking down, you can see the layout of the whole school clearly, and Yingying High School is worthy of being a first-class university in Japan. Judging from Ryosuke Araki's experience, the Japanese government will only invest a lot more in it. Because the facilities are quite complete.

He retracted his gaze and began to look for Edgar Allan Poe.

Since the little raccoon brought him here, judging from its appearance, it has smooth fur and human nature. It is obviously a well-kept pet, which means that Poe must be its owner... just don't know Where is the detective who came all the way from America?

He took the lead in sweeping the rooftop.

Abandoned lockers, messy sloping chairs, some lost books... nowhere for people.

And the little raccoon that left his shoulder was squatting on the waste locker, tilting his head to look at Ryosuke Araki, in his eyes, scratching the drawer of the locker with his small paws hintingly, seeing With his suspicious gaze, the little raccoon even stretched out its tail and circled on the locker.

"..." Ryosuke Araki.

no?Can people hide in lockers?

Although, judging from the size, it's not impossible... But no matter how you look at it, it's too weird, right? !

Is it a dead body? !

"Stop making trouble, Karl..." There was a muffled sound from the locker, waking up Ryosuke Araki, who was in deep thought, "—that, is, is Ranpo-kun here?"

"..." Damn it.

Ryosuke Araki: "Are you Edgar Allan Poe?"

"Hmm..." Although the voice of the other party sounded vigilant, it was obviously a little inexplicably shy, "I, my generation, I am a little embarrassed, please allow us to talk like this, I sincerely challenge you, because I can't find a match anymore. I heard that you and Ayatsuji-kun are the strongest detectives in Japan, so I invited you."

What a maverick, shy detective... All the same, there is nothing modest about Poe's meaning when he speaks.

It seems that the other party is very confident in his ability in investigation, but Poe, as the strongest detective in the United States, also has the capital to challenge the strongest as soon as he comes.

"...Okay, Poe." Araki Ryosuke took a few steps towards the locker, "I'm not Edogawa Ranpo, but I'm his assistant, called Araki Ryosuke."

After his words fell, the drawer of the locker was pulled open from inside, revealing a pair of clear gray eyes with surprise.

"Why! Why didn't Ranbu-kun come to accept the invitation in person! Is it because you don't think it's necessary to compete with us?..."

Not really, Ranpo himself was quite interested in the detective competition, he was just lazy.

It was only then that Ryosuke Araki saw Edgar Allan Poe's staring eyes. He looked no different from his little raccoon pet, both cute and alert. It was entirely possible to imagine the outstanding appearance of the other party after showing his entire face—— In a sense, pets follow their owners.

"No, as a great detective, he still needs his assistant to act as an agent for getting the invitation letter."

Poe pondered for a while.

"Well, you're right, I have Carl as my agent, and it's easy for him to understand with his assistant."

It seems that Carl is the name of the little raccoon, and Edgar Allan Poe actually gave his pet a decent human name.However, how shy and socially afraid this guy is, he actually hired a little raccoon as his agent.

"Can you give me the invitation letter?" Araki Ryosuke asked.

"...Yes, yes."

Noticing Ryosuke Araki's gaze, Poe shuddered all over, like a mimosa, he quickly closed the drawer of the locker, covered himself completely again, and turned back into a locker.

Under Ryosuke Araki's silent gaze, there was a crack in the lower edge of the locker, and then slowly, slowly, and carefully spit out a piece of bronzing paper.

"..."

"Here you are." Ellen Ramp said, his voice paused, and then he tentatively said in a low voice, "If my guess is correct, you, have you met Ayatsuji-kun? ... Well, that can help us too. Leave it to him? Come on, I don't want to be in the crowd, neither me nor Karl."

As if responding to the words of his master with social phobia, the little raccoon Karl also yelled, his round eyes pleadingly looked at Ryosuke Araki, his tail tremblingly wrapped around himself.

Omg.

Both master and servant are too cute.

Ryosuke Araki: "No problem, Poe."

He walked forward with his lovable heart in his arms, opened the door of the locker without hesitation, and brutally dragged out the person hiding inside: "I think it's totally okay, but you have to see me." A detective from England is recommended to you, hope you have fun."

Edgar Allan Poe who was suddenly pulled out: "...!?"

...choke.

Ahhhhhh help!He's going back into the closet! QQ
