Osamu Dazai doesn't usually read much.

But when Osamu Dazai was not called Osamu Dazai, he did read a lot in Tsugaru's old house.Either to pass the time, or homework assigned by parents, in short, he read a lot of feudal dross and classical essence.

When he came to Yokohama and was picked up by Mori Ogai, Osamu Dazai was pressured by an unscrupulous black doctor to read a lot of tomes on strategy and games. As a result, he officially joined the port mafia and started working. A kind of rebellious psychology, has always been lukewarm about reading.

Of course he has heard about the speculative confrontation between Edgar Allan Poe and Edogawa Ranpo. After all, one side is the treasure of the armed detective agency with a special status in Yokohama, and the other side is not to be underestimated as a well-known detective in the United States. watch for.But Dazai realized that this was just an intellectual game between the two sides, and he stopped paying more attention. It was not until he discovered that "Dante" was related to Edogawa Ranpo that he refocused his attention. At the same time, he still did not read the duel. work.

As a result, in Lupine, even Ango, who is extremely busy at work, can have an in-depth discussion with Oda, but he can't get in the way.Osamu Dazai could never bear this kind of thing.

He asked his subordinates to buy back two novels the next day, and finished reading them directly during working hours.

After quickly finishing the novel, Dazai's unhappiness doubled.

Half of it is "cut, isn't it just a mystery novel, I can write it too", and the other half is "that Edogawa Ranpo wrote something messy, and the reading experience is too bad".

The young and frivolous Dazai-kun has not yet established respect for Edogawa's seniors.

Osamu Dazai put the finished novel in the pile of documents on his desk, regardless of whether it would cause trouble to the receiver of the document.

He has no preference for mystery novels, but it is not impossible for him to understand why his friends are enthusiastic about these two works.

The puzzles in Poe's and Ranpo Edogawa's mysteries are so difficult that even he couldn't see through them at a glance.I am afraid that it is in this aspect that Ango's preferences have been poked out, and Oda Saku is also quite interested in importing different works.

Do you want to subscribe to a few reasoning magazines for talking?The young Mafia executives were lost in thought.

"Dante", who had subscribed to several mystery magazines after the mystery showdown, opened the latest issue after breakfast and started a pleasant reading time every day.

His eyes stopped on page 26 of the magazine because of a name.

"Hirai Taro".

Ah, that's... nothing wrong, Edogawa Ranpo's pen name can of course be "Hirai Taro".

"Dante" returned to the title of this novel and read it word by word again.

As I read it, a bad premonition arose spontaneously.

What's up with this slimy, creepy temperament?

This work by "Hirai Taro" has a sense of sight, very close to the style of the three-dimensional Edogawa Rampo, and it can be summed up in one word as "Yin Beast".

This is not the style of the novel written by Sakunosuke Oda, who is close to the three-dimensional temperament, but the one that does not look like a famous detective at all.

Akaeda recalled what "Dante" and Edogawa Ranpo said that day, and couldn't help feeling complicated.

Edogawa Ranpo is indeed a genius, and he knows everything about writing.But now the problem is, he passed the head!

The dark, malicious atmosphere in the article seems to have been formed by the author himself who transferred his evil fantasies to the paper.Looking at this point alone, no one would believe that this was written by Ranpo, who had cracked the case tens of thousands and was still pure as before.

Chizhi dared to bet that Ranpo never let anyone in the Armed Detective Agency read this novel, otherwise the version he could read would definitely not be like this.

I really don’t know whether to feel that the other party can write, submit, and then publish the article in order to submit an article without being seen by others, or feel that you also know that such a novel will definitely cause trouble if the president sees it.

Even so, Chizhi still felt that Edogawa Ranpo's vest was not well approved.Of course, Ranbu has already learned about the plot, but the writing style is still not good, but the atmosphere combined with his article is a bit stylized, and it is no longer a major flaw.And this style, if you take a closer look, you will find that it is very similar to the works published by Ranbu's real name before. The time between the two is not long, and it is estimated that anyone who knows the inside story can't hide it.

Akaeda went back to the beginning of the novel "Taro Hirai" and read it again. The more I read it, the more I felt heartbroken. I felt that the day Edogawa Ranpo's vest was stripped was probably "Dante" who was punished for teaching a certain older child. The eve of Sawa Yukichi's sanctions.

no.How could he sit and wait for the evil fruit to ripen?

His goal is never to roll over.I have to find a guy who is behind the scenes to spread the firepower.

The human brain really works the fastest only at this time.After a while, Chizhi came up with a brilliant idea.

Speaking of Fumino's instigator, and he is mainly active in Japan, it is naturally Natsuhiko Kyogoku.

I'm sorry, Ayatsuji Xingren-sensei, let me borrow your old enemy.

Mystery works and folklore produced in Japan seem to be often entangled, whether as imagery, the background of the story, or the specific reality in the Neo-Honge School, monsters and ghosts are frequent visitors to Japanese-style reasoning works.

In the real world, Kyogoku Natsuhiko is famous for his monster-type reasoning.In Bungou Stray Dog's novel, it is mentioned that the supernatural power of the "magician" Kyogoku Natsuhiko is a "substance drop" that can create possessed demons.

And in the world that Chizhi is currently in, where Bungou Stray Dogs, Magic Return Battle and some other works are integrated, the ability of "falling with objects" is likely to be related to the magic spirit. Thinking about it this way, Kyogoku Natsuhiko thought The difficulty of wishing to become a monster has been reduced a lot.

Kyogoku Natsuhiko's method as an instigator is to screen out the "villain" and then give him the method of committing the crime. Generally speaking, it is to "sell" the criminal plan like selling a pistol.The "test" prepared by Kyogoku Natsuhiko in advance is enough to ensure that the person who has reached the final step is someone who has enough intelligence and perseverance and must commit crimes, and at the same time, the reputation of praying to the evil "ancestral hall" can be spread indistinctly. Come.

The difficulty of the test he prepared and the speed at which the 'evil' spreads are all carefully calculated and tested best solutions.

It should be like this.

However, the number of people who have obtained the code and successfully cracked it has suddenly increased recently. It does not mean that the standard of 'villains' has dropped. It is strange that the level of these pre-criminals is the same as before, but the number has increased, which led to a strange phenomenon across the country for a while. Unsolved murders also increased.

The reputation of the 'Evil Shrine' also rose accordingly.

At this time, it is far from the time when Kyogoku Natsuhiko plans to spread the "evil" memes on a large scale, and being "detonated" in advance will only lead to troublesome detectives when the plan is not yet complete.But he couldn't immediately eliminate the traces of many arrangements across the country, and he couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed for a while.

As an expert in manipulating others, Kyogoku Natsuhiko can naturally find that there are human traces behind this.

It's not because the number of "villains" who passed the test increased, and the increase in murders eventually led to the fame of "Sanctuary of Evil", but just the opposite.

Someone deliberately spread the reputation of the "Sanctuary of Evil", and then the number of people who heard the news and prayed for evil increased.

And the person who intervened to cause all this behind the scenes, he didn't even spread the method of passing the test, he just promoted the urban legend of 'Evil Shrine' very evenly throughout Japan.

Kyogoku Natsuhiko, who was originally manipulating the case on Jail Island and trying to bring Ayatsuji pedestrians into the game, had to concentrate on controlling the overall situation first.

After he was forced to manually stop some of the previous arrangements, the murders committed by him gradually returned to the original frequency.

When Kyogoku Xiayan finally freed up his hand to investigate who stabbed him in the back, the other party disappeared completely as if throwing a stone into a pond and running away, and he had to face the fact that he was attracted by the "wave" before. Here came the attention of perhaps the most troublesome detective in the world——Edogawa Ranpo.

This trouble was so great that Kyogoku Xia Yan didn't even care about the original layout, and only wanted to temporarily shrink to protect himself. As a result, after a few days, not only Edogawa did not leave in disorder, but even Ayatsuji's pedestrians arrived.

Even the "magician" who has always been calm and calm can't help but want to know who is plotting against him!
