Hoshino Yu hung up the phone, he leaned against the bathroom wall to relieve his trembling body from the feeling of dying.
He's not here for a vacation....... It's almost time, so let's just settle everything tonight.
Hoshino Yuu reached out and picked up the glass marbles that rolled from the pocket of his pajamas to the ground because he frequently induced vomiting earlier.A faint cobalt blue halo reflected under the bright white light of the bathroom.
Hoshino stood up panting slowly with one hand on the wall, he stuffed the marbles back into the pocket of his pajamas, which made the hem of his pajamas look bulging.
Hoshino Yuu's front was soaked in large swaths of water, and the water dripped down the hem of his clothes and landed on the ground, leaving slender and winding water stains behind him.
Time to work.
.......
.......
On the fourth floor, in the Armed Detective Agency.
When Kunikida Doppo came back, he was startled by the gloomy atmosphere in the detective agency.Kunikida Doppo originally just came back to get the materials. He thought that there should be no one in the detective agency at this time, but unexpectedly, the lights in the agency are brightly lit. Everyone in the armed detective agency is very busy with worried faces. There is no sense of getting off work. .
Glancing at Izumi Kyoka and the others who were gathering together to study materials, Kunikida Doppo decisively grabbed Atsushi Nakajima who was walking out of Yosano Akiko's medical room with an empty water glass.
"What happened, Don?"
"Mr. Kunikida, are you back?" Atsushi Nakajima looked at the medical room behind him, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Ranpo seems to have a bad stomach, Mr. Dazai and the president are inside... …”
When Kunikida heard the words, he leaned forward and took a look into the infirmary.
Edogawa Ranpo was lying on the hospital bed in the inner room, and Yosano Akiko seemed to have checked his body.
The pure white curtain was half drawn, revealing the figure of Edogawa Ranpo, who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale expression, curled up in pain.
Edogawa Ranpo hugged his lower abdomen like a cat in the rain, looking really pitiful.
And Yosano Akiko was holding the inspection report in her hand and talking to the president Osamu Dazai, and a few intermittent words floated into Kunikida's ears: "No obvious abnormalities were detected... .”
"It shouldn't be something bad to eat..."
"I don't know what's going on at the moment..."
"What's going on here?" Kunikida Doppo was very puzzled: "How can Mr. Ranpo eat his stomach when the president is here?"
Atsushi Nakajima glanced at Ranpo Edogawa who was still on the hospital bed and told Kunikida Doppo what happened after Hoshino Yu left just now.
"Wait, what is another Mr. Ranpo?"
Kunikida Doppo is currently busy with the disappearance of several exchange students in the class he teaches. He often comes and leaves in a hurry, so that when no one informs him, he He didn't even know that besides Yu Hoshino, who had been missing all day, the new neighbor downstairs was another Mr. Ranpo.
"Why didn't any of you tell me?"
.......
.......
The night is silent and the lights are on.
Yokohama, on a suburban road in the outer suburbs, a cool locomotive is driving at an unreasonable speed.
Nakahara Nakaya rode his locomotive on the deserted highway, rushing to the place where he and Edogawa Ranpo met last time.
When seeing the destination in the distance, Zhong Yuanzhong couldn't help but slow down the speed of his bicycle in surprise: the end of the road in the distance originally led to a huge barren ruin, but at this time - at a distance from the destination At a distance of several hundred meters—in the Central Plains, you can vaguely see a large building with bright lights at the end of the road, and a tall Ferris wheel stands far away from it. The Ferris wheel is dotted with colorful lights, and from time to time changing into different patterns.
The huge collapsed ruined buildings have been completely replaced and covered at this time, and the dots of lights and the bright neon lights complement each other.Although the distance is very far, Zhongyuanzhong can also imagine how noisy and lively it is.
"What's the situation...?" Nakahara Zhongya's speed gradually slowed down, and finally stopped on the side of the road.
Holding the scooter and looking at the brightly lit buildings in the distance, Nakahara Nakaka hesitated for a moment, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of Edogawa Ranpo.After a few beeps, the phone was connected.
"Hello?" Another voice belonging to Edogawa's random steps sounded, and his background sound was filled with rustling human voices and light and melodious music. It sounded like he was in some lively night The same as in the commercial street.
Zhong Yuanzhong was also surprised: "Where are you now?"
"It's the place where we met last time." Edogawa Ranpo was standing in front of the entry barrier near the door. The ticket inspector not far away gave him a curious look, and quickly looked away.
Hoshino Yu looked around while holding the phone, but he didn't find the familiar dark figure: "Haven't you arrived yet?"
The place where we met last time—?This background sound doesn't sound like the deserted ruins at all.
"Hey Edogawa, don't you think there is something strange here?"
Obviously, before today, this place was just a collapsed ruin.
Because Hoshino Yu vomited out all the things he had eaten before, his stomach is very weak now: "What's so strange?"
"Hey, are you kidding me? It was obviously not here before..." Nakahara Zhongya's energetic voice rang on the other end of the phone, but Hoshino Yuu didn't pay attention to what he was saying.
Because of the previous toss, Hoshino Yuu took a taxi and rushed over non-stop. At this moment, he only felt tired when he calmed down.
He leaned against the half-person-high railing in front of him with little strength, and when he heard Chuya Nakahara's question, he couldn't help interrupting impatiently: "This has always been an amusement park, I've already bought a ticket, are you still coming?" ?”
"Huh?" Nakahara Chuya only had time to make a short nasal sound before he heard Edogawa Ranbu on the opposite side say bluntly: "Well, forget it... if you don't come over, just let me go in by myself." .”
"Hey? I'm not unable to explain it. Wait a minute—" Before Nakahara Chuya could say anything, Edogawa Ranpo cut off his call.
Zhong Yuan was also anxious: "What do you mean this is an amusement park?!"
He remembered clearly that there was no amusement park or Ferris wheel here before, and this so-called amusement park seemed to have popped out of nowhere.
"hateful!"
But right now, Zhongyuanzhong also knows whether it is an appropriate choice to stop here or go back the same way.
Thinking of that weird Edogawa Ranpo, Nakahara Nakaya thought for a while, he gave a light 'tsk' impatiently, got back on the motorcycle and galloped towards the destination at high speed.
........
........
In the Armed Detective Agency, the conversation between Doppo Kunikida and Atsushi Nakajima continues.
Finding that Kunikida Doppo didn't know anything about the situation of the other Edogawa Ranpo, Atsushi Nakajima roughly summed it up, and told Kunikida Doppo the whole story, including a series of superficial information they knew, such as the strangeness. .
Kunikida Doppo, who was accidentally excluded by Butei, was able to understand the whole picture of the matter.
After Nakajima Atsushi finished speaking dryly, Kunikida Doppo pondered for a while, then asked, "The ruins... Atsushi, do you think the ruins are in the west of the city?"
"According to another Mr. Ranpo, those scattered weirdnesses are being gradually dealt with by the mysterious Hoshino-kun. His task is to solve the ruins in the west of the city—there is the root of all the weirdnesses."
Nakajima Atsushi didn't notice Kunikida Doppo's weird look, he nodded and answered Kunikida Doppo's question, and then added: "Ranpo first, try not to let ordinary people get close to it, so as not to cause any changes Better."
"But there... are there any ruins there?" Kunikida Doppo said, "Isn't there only a century playground?"
"A playground?" Nakajima Atsushi was also surprised: "What playground? According to the information we have collected, the hundreds of kilometers around it are deserted wastelands, and there are no residential areas at all."
"How is it possible? Haven't you heard of the Century Playground?"
Seeing Atsushi Nakajima shaking his head like a rattle, Doppo Kunikida frowned as if he could kill mosquitoes: "Century Amusement Park has been in business since it opened decades ago, isn't it already well-known all over the country?" , Is it a popular playground?"
"...I really don't know." Atsushi Nakajima said with a confused face.
Kunikida Doppo and Nakajima Atsushi looked at each other, and they realized one thing from each other's reactions: there must be something wrong...the matter may be more serious than they thought at first... ....
Atsushi Nakajima didn't even bother to put down the glass in the water, he turned his head and rushed into the infirmary: "Mr. Dazai—!"
.......
.......
In the medical room of the Armed Detective Agency, Osamu Dazai, who was discussing the situation of Ranpo Edogawa, was suddenly called out by Atsushi Nakajima in a low voice.
The rustling conversation gradually faded away in the corridor, and the conversation with Yosano Akiko and the president seemed to have come to a conclusion, and they exited the infirmary, leaving space for Edogawa Ranpo who still needs to rest.
On the hospital bed, Edogawa was huddled up in a ball, his hands were grabbing the skirt of his chest, not understanding why it would be like this.Edogawa Ranpo was like a child who mustered up the courage to act coquettishly but was suddenly slapped. He only felt that things suddenly turned into something he couldn't understand.
Edogawa Ranpo felt a kind of intense and lengthy sadness and confusion, this kind of sadness could not be confided to others, nor could he be freed from himself.
Why, what made the other self suffer like this?
Is it... sweets?
Probably not, Edogawa Ranpo can still recall Hoshino Yuu's sigh when he was eating thick dim sum. He said that he likes sweets and thick dim sum, and he has always liked them.
So... was it himself who made him suffer?
I approached repeatedly, and self-righteously shared?
What Yu Hoshino said when he answered why he didn't eat hamburgers suddenly came to Edogawa Ranpo's mind.
——'Then do you like beef burgers? '
——'I probably don't like it.It's been a long time since I ate it, so.......don't remember. '
——'A smart brain is the only thing I have, and of course I must protect it. '
From what state of mind did he sigh so sincerely?
Thinking about it now, were the words of my other self an excuse at that time?Edogawa Ranpo thought it was a lie at first, but now he thinks it is not.
At that time, the other's obedience was not the acceptance I thought...but the unbearable boredom?
After realizing this possibility, a distinct sense of guilt and panic overwhelmed Edogawa Ranpo.
He clearly felt that he was now in two diametrically opposed states. His mind was as clear and sensitive as before, but his consciousness was in a strange lethargy, which he couldn't extricate himself from.
What is the other self thinking?When he took the dessert he gave him, when he invited him to go out together tomorrow, when he took the snack box he gave him, when he left and said 'goodbye' to himself with a smile.
—What is he thinking?
Edogawa Ranpo didn't know.
In countless tiny moments, he felt the joyful and secret intimacy and joy of another self in his body - he also likes me. From the first time we met, this is Edogawa Rampo's perception And see through the unmistakable facts.
Although I don't know why the other self is so contradictory and indifferent, Edogawa Ranpo doesn't care.
Since he likes me, it doesn't matter if he takes the initiative.
This is what he has always thought, but at this time Edogawa Ranpo is not sure.
——No matter how rationally his mind tells him that his judgment is not wrong, Edogawa Ranpo can no longer be as sure as before that what his approach brings to another self is joy, not pleasure. Annoyed and bored.
Another Edogawa Ranpo...Is it because I am too annoying, so I use this way to remind him 'enough, don't get any closer? '
Just thinking about it, Edogawa Ranpo felt hot in his eye sockets and felt terrible pain. The always smart genius couldn't figure out why things turned out like this, and he even had an urge to escape from here.
Edogawa Luanbu was lying alone on a hospital bed in the infirmary.
The lights in the infirmary were turned off when the president left, and the thin moonlight slanted into the room along the undrawn curtains, and fell on Edogawa Ranpo, who covered his head with the quilt, curled up like a child When he got up, he let out a small, short breath.
.......
.......
Century Land in the outskirts of Yokohama, at the main entrance of the park.
Even at nine o'clock at night in the amusement park, scattered tourists can still be seen going out of the park.It doesn't look like a weird ruin that has been abandoned for a long time, but it looks like a serious amusement park that has been in business for many years and is still quite popular.
After Chuya Zhongya parked the car, he came to the place he and Yu Hoshino had agreed upon.
Nakahara Nakaya looked around, and just about to take out his mobile phone to call Edogawa Ranpo, he saw Hoshino Yu not far away chatting with a ticket inspector dressed as a staff member.
The mysterious Edogawa Ranpo was dressed the same as the last time they met, and he looked like he was lying on the railing at half a person's height like a baby.Edogawa Ranpo was looking up and saying something to the ticket inspector, when the staff member took out a booklet and handed it to him.
"Hey!" Nakahara Chuya couldn't help being startled when he saw this, he directly pulled Edogawa Ranpo, who was chatting with the amusement park employee who didn't know if it was a man or a ghost, and pulled away by the back of his collar. Come: "What are you doing?"
The employees of the amusement park were startled by Zhong Yuan Zhong who suddenly appeared: "You—?"
"We're together." Hoshino Yuu waved his hand at him to indicate that it's okay, and then turned to Nakahara Chuya: "What are you doing, Mr. Hat?"
what I do?I want to ask if you know what you are doing?
Seeing Hoshino Yuu's innocent face, Nakahara Chuya gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"Don't tell me you don't know that this place was a barren ruin a day ago."
Zhong Yuanzhong also pointed to the brightly lit playground behind him, from here he could see that the big pendulum in the playground was still operating normally.Every time the rotating pendulum swings from the highest point to the lowest point, sporadic and exciting screams will spread far away along with the whistling wind.
In the exit passage parallel to the ticket inspection passage, a family of three was walking out talking and laughing, and the child was still holding a red balloon in his hand.
It can be seen that these suddenly appeared, and the tourists who didn't know if it was true or not were having a lot of fun.
If he hadn't seen the deserted and abandoned appearance here, Zhongyuan Zhong would almost believe that this playground has always been
Hoshino Yu said in a natural tone: "Are you an idiot, Mr. Hat?"
"what?"
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have used interrogative sentences," Hoshino Yu said with a helpless tone, "You're an idiot."
Stupid in also.
"Isn't this something you can know at a glance?" Without waiting for Chuya Nakahara to jump, Hoshino Yu, who is familiar with his temperament, quickly changed the topic and successfully diverted Chuya Nakahara's attention: "The timing I said before, It's now."
"The sprouting weirdos have finally accumulated enough initial energy, from passive predation to active camouflage, attracting prey to throw themselves into the net..."
"...So the ruins you saw became what they are now."
Before Nakahara Chuya could ask a question, Hoshino Yu tidied up his cloak that was wrinkled by Nakahara Chuya, he took out two tickets from his pocket and handed one of them to Nakahara Chuya: "Okay, okay , Master Ranpo is going in to play, do you want to come together?"
The ticket in Edogawa Ranpo's hand was brand new, and it looked decent: on the stub of the ticket was written "Century Amusement Park" and "Welcome Parents and Children to Travel Together" and other small characters in hot gold ornate cursive characters.
On the second half page of the tear-off ticket, there is also a bright red seal that has just been buckled.
Nakahara has never seen what the tickets in the amusement park look like, but he thinks that the two tickets that Edogawa Ranpo is holding should be the same as the real ones, after all, they look quite similar. something happened.
"Ah? Aren't you coming?"
Dazed Nakahara Nakaya grabbed the ticket in Edogawa Ranpo's hand and said, "Of course I'm going."
"Then let's go." Hoshino Yu looked as if he had expected it a long time ago. Without saying anything, he turned around and led the way to the ticket gate of the park.
Nakahara was also afraid that Hoshino Yuu would be left behind, so he chased after Hoshino Yuu in three steps and walked side by side with Hoshino Yuu: "Edogawa, what did he give you just now? What were you talking about with him?" ah?"
Hoshino Yu glanced at him and said, "Brochure."
"Brochure?" Zhong Yuanzhong repeated without reacting.
Edogawa hurriedly took out the brochure he got just now from his cloak, and shook it in front of Chuya Nakahara: "It's the brochure of this amusement park, I just asked him Is there any place to recommend to visit?"
"Why are you asking this?" Edogawa Ranpo gave him an idiot-looking look, which made Nakahara realize that he had asked a stupid question: you can ask questions when you come to an amusement park What?
But soon Zhongyuanzhong also reacted, no!They didn't really come to the amusement park to play, and this amusement park is obviously not a serious amusement park?Why is this guy acting so naturally?
And——Zhongyuanzhong has been struggling with a problem......
It was already night, and only Edogawa Ranpo and him were queuing up at the ticket gate. From the gate, you could see a few scattered tourists walking slowly out of the playground.
This place is completely different from before and full of human habitation, as if it has always been such a matter of course.
However, under the calm and calm, a faint uneasiness that cannot be ignored is lingering in Zhongyuan Zhongye's heart, which makes him tense up.
The source of his nervousness is undoubtedly this gigantic amusement park that seems to be full of laughter and laughter, which seems extremely normal-this overly normal paradise is like an unknown beast dormant in the dark depths of dense bushes, weird and unpredictable. Extremely dangerous.
Nakahara Chuya secretly glanced at the ticket inspector who took the ticket and tore it off, and asked Hoshino Yuu in a low voice, "Are the employees here... are they human?"
"No." Edogawa Ranpo replied casually, and took the ticket from the ticket inspector who smiled and handed him the ticket stub.
Zhong Yuanzhong also subconsciously glanced at the ticket inspector, seeing that there was nothing unusual about the smile on his face, he was slightly relieved.
Following Edogawa's random steps out of the gate and into the amusement park, the large neon lights of Century Park fell on Hoshino Yuu's body, only then did Nakahara notice his paler face than usual, he hesitated and asked: "Your complexion doesn't look well... are you okay?"
Hoshino Yu didn't expect him to ask such a question. He stared at Nakahara Nakaya's cobalt blue eyes in a daze for a moment, then he collected himself and said, "...I'm fine."
Hoshino Yuu ignored the convulsive pain in his abdomen, spread out the brochure in his hand and pointed to the merry-go-round horse that was not circled in red on it, and showed it to Nakahara Chuya: "Shall we go here first?"
Nakahara has also partnered with Osamu Dazai countless times, and his feelings for Osamu Dazai are very complicated.But there is no doubt that Nakahara also believes in Osamu Dazai's mind and judgment.
After getting Dazai Osamu's affirmation that "he is not an enemy", Nakahara Nakaya automatically switched to the mode with an external brain follower the moment he saw Hoshino Yuu.
So although I don't know the reason why Edogawa Ranpo did this, but he who is used to Osamu Dazai's behavior pattern has long understood one thing: whatever these smart people do is full of meaning, he should not waste energy To find out why exactly...
When the other party is smart enough and trustworthy, he only needs to follow the steps step by step.
Zhongyuan Zhong also casually glanced at the map in Hoshino Yu's hand, he nodded without any objection, and said, "Yes."
Hoshino Yuu stopped in his tracks, and handed the brochure in his hand to Chuya Nakahara: "Let's go."
"Why?" Zhongyuan Zhong was also confused: "Aren't you with me?"
The corner of Hoshino Yu's mouth twitched, and it was obvious that he really wanted to say 'Are you an idiot'.
However, in the eyes of Jae Nakaya, he is just a stranger who has met twice, so Mr. Criminal Consultant curled his lips and explained with difficulty: "Master Ranpo can't find the way...you Come lead the way."
"Ah good......"
The starlight is dim, and the thin moonlight shines through the thick clouds and mist.
The cheerful and simple monotonous melody was repeated repeatedly in the speakers on the roadside of the amusement park, showing a bit of inappropriate weirdness in the gradually silent night.
The two back figures, one long and one short, fell on the ground and were stretched extremely long, appearing wobbly under the constantly changing colored lights.Hoshino Yuu and Nakahara Chuya walked along the road at the entrance of the park, one after the other, towards the interior of the park with flashing neon lights.
Seen from afar, they are drifting away, as if they are stepping into the dark mouth of an unknown monster and falling into an unknown abyss.
.......
.......
On the other side, in the Armed Detective Agency.
After Osamu Dazai learned about the Century Amusement Park, he hurriedly searched the Internet for relevant information.
All the information about the ruins in the suburbs disappeared from the search engine, replaced by the popular science introduction and some discussion posts of the Century Amusement Park: '...I didn't have time to play before, and I highly recommend it today. ...'
'Missing Person Announcement: Keiko Sugi, 11 years old, lost in Century Paradise, [picture]...'
'Refuting the rumors: Century Paradise officially refuted the rumors, there is no plan to organize a circus tour......'
"Dream collaboration is here, Century Paradise is celebrating its 13th anniversary, and will launch a limited edition co-branded doll with the popular animation..."
'......'
A series of detailed and true reports and forum discussion posts followed Dazai Zhi's scrolling of the mouse wheel, and the black and white text was reflected on his retina, reaching Dazai Zhi's eyes from top to bottom.
I'm in trouble...
Does Weird still have the ability to directly modify memory and reality?
Mr. Ranpo didn't mention this at all, and Osamu Dazai didn't believe that he didn't know, so the meaning of his behavior is worth pondering.
Overnight, a grand amusement park appeared out of thin air in the ruins that were a wasteland yesterday, and except for myself and others who had been aware of its original appearance from the beginning, everyone else seemed to take it for granted and didn't feel any strangeness.
Atsushi Nakajima moved closer to Osamu Dazai, and when he saw the content on the screen clearly, Atsushi Nakajima's pupils shrank slightly: "This—how is it possible...?"
"It seems that Mr. Edogawa Ranpo downstairs has concealed a lot of information from us..."
"Mr. Dazai? Where are you going?" Atsushi Nakajima looked up and found that Osamu Dazai had already walked to the door at some point.
"I'm going to talk to Mr. Ranpo downstairs~" Osamu Dazai dropped those words and went out.
Atsushi Nakajima looked at the computer screen, then at Izumi Kyoka and Kunikida Doppo who had already started packing their things and were about to leave, he hesitated for a moment and followed after him: "Please wait for me, Mr. Dazai."
......
......
Atsushi Nakajima grabbed the elevator door and squeezed into the elevator just before it closed, Osamu Dazai was dumbfounded when he saw it: "What are you following?"
Following Osamu Dazai all the way to the door of the bookstore on the third floor, seeing him knock on the door several times but no one responded, Atsushi Nakajima scratched his head and said, "Mr. Ranpo looks very sad...I want to see See if there's anything I can do to help..."
Of course Osamu Dazai knew that he was referring to Mr. Ranpo from the detective agency. He smiled helplessly, took out the wire from his pocket and inserted it into the lock cylinder with ease, and opened the room under the shocked eyes of Atsushi Nakajima. The door: "Hey~ I was careless, next time I should remember to ask Mr. Ranpo for his contact information..."
"T-Mr. Dazai, is this not good?"
"What's wrong?" Osamu Dazai opened the door and walked into the house, he said with a smile, "Oh, it seems that Mr. Ranpo didn't lock the door properly—"
Atsushi Nakajima stared dumbfounded at Osamu Dazai's series of movements as naturally as eating and drinking. Only then did he have a real feeling that Mr. Dazai was once one of the cadres of Mafia at the port: How did Mr. Dazai open his eyes so brightly? Are you talking nonsense? !
Just as Osamu Dazai stepped into the room, the sound of "shua" pierced through the air and hit his front door. As soon as Atsushi Nakajima, who was following Osamu Dazai, saw a blur of green, he saw Osamu Dazai. I don't know where I took out a book and blocked it in front of me.
Then the green afterimage disappeared as if it never appeared, Dazai Osamu hummed a strange song as usual, and strode into the hall of the book club.
"Just now... what was that?" Atsushi Nakajima walked into the room in a daze, looked around and saw nothing strange.
"Well——" Osamu Dazai put away Hoshino Yuu's "Disqualification in the World" again, and said briskly, "Maybe it's the little pet raised by Ranpo-san here?"
"Mr. Ranpo—are you home?" Dazai Osamu greeted refreshingly, but no one responded.
Osamu Dazai's eyes fell on the corridor with half-opened double doors next to the hall, he paused, turned around and walked straight into the corridor.
Walking to the door, Osamu Dazai stopped in his footsteps, and there was a familiar suitcase spread out not far from the door: torn snack packaging bags and scattered food residues were scattered everywhere, not far from the box There was also a small white medicine bottle rolled down.
Osamu Dazai's expression darkened, he leaned over to pick up the medicine bottle, and read the words on it clearly.
"Snacks—have they all been eaten by Mr. Ranpo?" Atsushi Nakajima couldn't help exclaiming when he saw the situation in the corridor clearly. He said uncertainly: "There are at least five or six Personal weight, right?"
"Hmm...it looks like this." Osamu Dazai stood up and let out a sigh of relief: "Bulimia nervosa."
When bulimia nervosa attacks, patients will have recurrent and irresistible desire to eat, which can be manifested as uncontrollable overeating behavior.
The cause of the disease is not yet clear, but it is mostly believed to be an eating disorder caused by environmental and psychological problems, and patients with this type of disease usually take measures such as 'fasting' and 'vomiting' under a sense of fear and guilt Relieve inner pain with self-help.
"What?" Nakajima Atsushi didn't hear what Osamu Dazai was saying, he looked at the empty suitcase with sympathy, and said in disbelief: "These things... how could one person eat them?" over."
Of course, Osamu Dazai sighed in his heart, as long as he kept vomiting, he could finish it all.
When patients with bulimia cannot restrain the desire to eat, they will repeatedly induce vomiting in large quantities to achieve the purpose of continuous eating and satisfy the desire to expand.
This disease will bring great pain to patients, and it is a double torment both mentally and physically.People with bulimia are not necessarily obese, but may be thinner than normal.Because the more they usually eat, the more they will uncontrollably induce self-abuse to vomit more.
However, every time they finish vomiting, they may continue to eat under the raging desire to overeat-repeated cycle, falling into a vicious circle from which they cannot break free.
Reminiscent of the various signs that Edogawa Ranpo showed during this period, his symptoms should have been severe to a certain extent, and he was on the verge of being unable to control himself.
Thinking of this possibility, Osamu Dazai took a look at the open room on the side—it was the kitchen: there were many empty bread bags scattered on the floor—Osamu Dazai opened the refrigerator and found rows of Sugar-free yogurt and whole grain bread.
Sure enough, Ranpo Edogawa knew about his illness, so he controlled his diet almost strictly, restrained his desires and tried to maintain a fragile balance.
However, who would make him do this...?
A flash of thought flashed in Dazai Osamu's eyes, he knew that if he continued to search, he might still find information, but obviously this is not the most important thing right now.
"Aton, please clean up here~~" Osamu Dazai walked around Atsushi Nakajima who was trying to clean up the garbage in the corridor with a smile, waved his hands briskly and ran away quickly before Atsushi Nakajima called him: "I suddenly remembered that there are some things I haven't done and I won't go back—"
"Huh? Myself?—Mr. Osamu Dazai!"
......
......
The waves beat against the rocks on the shore, and the sound of the waves can be heard from a distance from the Century Amusement Park.
"Please give me an adult ticket~"
Dazai Osamu was at the ticket office, and without blinking he took out the bank card he took from Kunikida Doppo when he got off work, and asked expectantly, "Can you use the card here?"
"Yes, sir."
"Great!" Osamu Dazai cheered, and summoned up his courage to look at the conductor lady affectionately and asked, "Then, would you like to die for love with me, miss?"
The expression on the face of the sweet-looking lady conductor froze for a moment, as if the computer froze for a second when processing abnormal data.
Immediately, the same smiling face appeared on the conductor's face as before, even with the same upward arc of the corner of her mouth: "...Yes, sir."
"Ah, forget it," Osamu Dazai, who was still in love just now, suddenly lost interest, he waved his hand and said, "Today is not a good weather to die for love, next time the weather is fine, let's go into the water together again. "
"Yes, sir."
Osamu Dazai stared at the conductor's sweet smile for a while, then looked away, and regretfully handed her the bank card in his hand.
Osamu Dazai sighed with a melancholy expression: Alas...it is rare that there is a beauty who is willing to die in love with him, but it seems that her mind is not normal...
Watching the movement of the conductor lady swiping the card, an idea appeared in Osamu Dazai's mind: This fake amusement park will not take Kunikida silver
He's not here for a vacation....... It's almost time, so let's just settle everything tonight.
Hoshino Yuu reached out and picked up the glass marbles that rolled from the pocket of his pajamas to the ground because he frequently induced vomiting earlier.A faint cobalt blue halo reflected under the bright white light of the bathroom.
Hoshino stood up panting slowly with one hand on the wall, he stuffed the marbles back into the pocket of his pajamas, which made the hem of his pajamas look bulging.
Hoshino Yuu's front was soaked in large swaths of water, and the water dripped down the hem of his clothes and landed on the ground, leaving slender and winding water stains behind him.
Time to work.
.......
.......
On the fourth floor, in the Armed Detective Agency.
When Kunikida Doppo came back, he was startled by the gloomy atmosphere in the detective agency.Kunikida Doppo originally just came back to get the materials. He thought that there should be no one in the detective agency at this time, but unexpectedly, the lights in the agency are brightly lit. Everyone in the armed detective agency is very busy with worried faces. There is no sense of getting off work. .
Glancing at Izumi Kyoka and the others who were gathering together to study materials, Kunikida Doppo decisively grabbed Atsushi Nakajima who was walking out of Yosano Akiko's medical room with an empty water glass.
"What happened, Don?"
"Mr. Kunikida, are you back?" Atsushi Nakajima looked at the medical room behind him, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Ranpo seems to have a bad stomach, Mr. Dazai and the president are inside... …”
When Kunikida heard the words, he leaned forward and took a look into the infirmary.
Edogawa Ranpo was lying on the hospital bed in the inner room, and Yosano Akiko seemed to have checked his body.
The pure white curtain was half drawn, revealing the figure of Edogawa Ranpo, who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale expression, curled up in pain.
Edogawa Ranpo hugged his lower abdomen like a cat in the rain, looking really pitiful.
And Yosano Akiko was holding the inspection report in her hand and talking to the president Osamu Dazai, and a few intermittent words floated into Kunikida's ears: "No obvious abnormalities were detected... .”
"It shouldn't be something bad to eat..."
"I don't know what's going on at the moment..."
"What's going on here?" Kunikida Doppo was very puzzled: "How can Mr. Ranpo eat his stomach when the president is here?"
Atsushi Nakajima glanced at Ranpo Edogawa who was still on the hospital bed and told Kunikida Doppo what happened after Hoshino Yu left just now.
"Wait, what is another Mr. Ranpo?"
Kunikida Doppo is currently busy with the disappearance of several exchange students in the class he teaches. He often comes and leaves in a hurry, so that when no one informs him, he He didn't even know that besides Yu Hoshino, who had been missing all day, the new neighbor downstairs was another Mr. Ranpo.
"Why didn't any of you tell me?"
.......
.......
The night is silent and the lights are on.
Yokohama, on a suburban road in the outer suburbs, a cool locomotive is driving at an unreasonable speed.
Nakahara Nakaya rode his locomotive on the deserted highway, rushing to the place where he and Edogawa Ranpo met last time.
When seeing the destination in the distance, Zhong Yuanzhong couldn't help but slow down the speed of his bicycle in surprise: the end of the road in the distance originally led to a huge barren ruin, but at this time - at a distance from the destination At a distance of several hundred meters—in the Central Plains, you can vaguely see a large building with bright lights at the end of the road, and a tall Ferris wheel stands far away from it. The Ferris wheel is dotted with colorful lights, and from time to time changing into different patterns.
The huge collapsed ruined buildings have been completely replaced and covered at this time, and the dots of lights and the bright neon lights complement each other.Although the distance is very far, Zhongyuanzhong can also imagine how noisy and lively it is.
"What's the situation...?" Nakahara Zhongya's speed gradually slowed down, and finally stopped on the side of the road.
Holding the scooter and looking at the brightly lit buildings in the distance, Nakahara Nakaka hesitated for a moment, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of Edogawa Ranpo.After a few beeps, the phone was connected.
"Hello?" Another voice belonging to Edogawa's random steps sounded, and his background sound was filled with rustling human voices and light and melodious music. It sounded like he was in some lively night The same as in the commercial street.
Zhong Yuanzhong was also surprised: "Where are you now?"
"It's the place where we met last time." Edogawa Ranpo was standing in front of the entry barrier near the door. The ticket inspector not far away gave him a curious look, and quickly looked away.
Hoshino Yu looked around while holding the phone, but he didn't find the familiar dark figure: "Haven't you arrived yet?"
The place where we met last time—?This background sound doesn't sound like the deserted ruins at all.
"Hey Edogawa, don't you think there is something strange here?"
Obviously, before today, this place was just a collapsed ruin.
Because Hoshino Yu vomited out all the things he had eaten before, his stomach is very weak now: "What's so strange?"
"Hey, are you kidding me? It was obviously not here before..." Nakahara Zhongya's energetic voice rang on the other end of the phone, but Hoshino Yuu didn't pay attention to what he was saying.
Because of the previous toss, Hoshino Yuu took a taxi and rushed over non-stop. At this moment, he only felt tired when he calmed down.
He leaned against the half-person-high railing in front of him with little strength, and when he heard Chuya Nakahara's question, he couldn't help interrupting impatiently: "This has always been an amusement park, I've already bought a ticket, are you still coming?" ?”
"Huh?" Nakahara Chuya only had time to make a short nasal sound before he heard Edogawa Ranbu on the opposite side say bluntly: "Well, forget it... if you don't come over, just let me go in by myself." .”
"Hey? I'm not unable to explain it. Wait a minute—" Before Nakahara Chuya could say anything, Edogawa Ranpo cut off his call.
Zhong Yuan was also anxious: "What do you mean this is an amusement park?!"
He remembered clearly that there was no amusement park or Ferris wheel here before, and this so-called amusement park seemed to have popped out of nowhere.
"hateful!"
But right now, Zhongyuanzhong also knows whether it is an appropriate choice to stop here or go back the same way.
Thinking of that weird Edogawa Ranpo, Nakahara Nakaya thought for a while, he gave a light 'tsk' impatiently, got back on the motorcycle and galloped towards the destination at high speed.
........
........
In the Armed Detective Agency, the conversation between Doppo Kunikida and Atsushi Nakajima continues.
Finding that Kunikida Doppo didn't know anything about the situation of the other Edogawa Ranpo, Atsushi Nakajima roughly summed it up, and told Kunikida Doppo the whole story, including a series of superficial information they knew, such as the strangeness. .
Kunikida Doppo, who was accidentally excluded by Butei, was able to understand the whole picture of the matter.
After Nakajima Atsushi finished speaking dryly, Kunikida Doppo pondered for a while, then asked, "The ruins... Atsushi, do you think the ruins are in the west of the city?"
"According to another Mr. Ranpo, those scattered weirdnesses are being gradually dealt with by the mysterious Hoshino-kun. His task is to solve the ruins in the west of the city—there is the root of all the weirdnesses."
Nakajima Atsushi didn't notice Kunikida Doppo's weird look, he nodded and answered Kunikida Doppo's question, and then added: "Ranpo first, try not to let ordinary people get close to it, so as not to cause any changes Better."
"But there... are there any ruins there?" Kunikida Doppo said, "Isn't there only a century playground?"
"A playground?" Nakajima Atsushi was also surprised: "What playground? According to the information we have collected, the hundreds of kilometers around it are deserted wastelands, and there are no residential areas at all."
"How is it possible? Haven't you heard of the Century Playground?"
Seeing Atsushi Nakajima shaking his head like a rattle, Doppo Kunikida frowned as if he could kill mosquitoes: "Century Amusement Park has been in business since it opened decades ago, isn't it already well-known all over the country?" , Is it a popular playground?"
"...I really don't know." Atsushi Nakajima said with a confused face.
Kunikida Doppo and Nakajima Atsushi looked at each other, and they realized one thing from each other's reactions: there must be something wrong...the matter may be more serious than they thought at first... ....
Atsushi Nakajima didn't even bother to put down the glass in the water, he turned his head and rushed into the infirmary: "Mr. Dazai—!"
.......
.......
In the medical room of the Armed Detective Agency, Osamu Dazai, who was discussing the situation of Ranpo Edogawa, was suddenly called out by Atsushi Nakajima in a low voice.
The rustling conversation gradually faded away in the corridor, and the conversation with Yosano Akiko and the president seemed to have come to a conclusion, and they exited the infirmary, leaving space for Edogawa Ranpo who still needs to rest.
On the hospital bed, Edogawa was huddled up in a ball, his hands were grabbing the skirt of his chest, not understanding why it would be like this.Edogawa Ranpo was like a child who mustered up the courage to act coquettishly but was suddenly slapped. He only felt that things suddenly turned into something he couldn't understand.
Edogawa Ranpo felt a kind of intense and lengthy sadness and confusion, this kind of sadness could not be confided to others, nor could he be freed from himself.
Why, what made the other self suffer like this?
Is it... sweets?
Probably not, Edogawa Ranpo can still recall Hoshino Yuu's sigh when he was eating thick dim sum. He said that he likes sweets and thick dim sum, and he has always liked them.
So... was it himself who made him suffer?
I approached repeatedly, and self-righteously shared?
What Yu Hoshino said when he answered why he didn't eat hamburgers suddenly came to Edogawa Ranpo's mind.
——'Then do you like beef burgers? '
——'I probably don't like it.It's been a long time since I ate it, so.......don't remember. '
——'A smart brain is the only thing I have, and of course I must protect it. '
From what state of mind did he sigh so sincerely?
Thinking about it now, were the words of my other self an excuse at that time?Edogawa Ranpo thought it was a lie at first, but now he thinks it is not.
At that time, the other's obedience was not the acceptance I thought...but the unbearable boredom?
After realizing this possibility, a distinct sense of guilt and panic overwhelmed Edogawa Ranpo.
He clearly felt that he was now in two diametrically opposed states. His mind was as clear and sensitive as before, but his consciousness was in a strange lethargy, which he couldn't extricate himself from.
What is the other self thinking?When he took the dessert he gave him, when he invited him to go out together tomorrow, when he took the snack box he gave him, when he left and said 'goodbye' to himself with a smile.
—What is he thinking?
Edogawa Ranpo didn't know.
In countless tiny moments, he felt the joyful and secret intimacy and joy of another self in his body - he also likes me. From the first time we met, this is Edogawa Rampo's perception And see through the unmistakable facts.
Although I don't know why the other self is so contradictory and indifferent, Edogawa Ranpo doesn't care.
Since he likes me, it doesn't matter if he takes the initiative.
This is what he has always thought, but at this time Edogawa Ranpo is not sure.
——No matter how rationally his mind tells him that his judgment is not wrong, Edogawa Ranpo can no longer be as sure as before that what his approach brings to another self is joy, not pleasure. Annoyed and bored.
Another Edogawa Ranpo...Is it because I am too annoying, so I use this way to remind him 'enough, don't get any closer? '
Just thinking about it, Edogawa Ranpo felt hot in his eye sockets and felt terrible pain. The always smart genius couldn't figure out why things turned out like this, and he even had an urge to escape from here.
Edogawa Luanbu was lying alone on a hospital bed in the infirmary.
The lights in the infirmary were turned off when the president left, and the thin moonlight slanted into the room along the undrawn curtains, and fell on Edogawa Ranpo, who covered his head with the quilt, curled up like a child When he got up, he let out a small, short breath.
.......
.......
Century Land in the outskirts of Yokohama, at the main entrance of the park.
Even at nine o'clock at night in the amusement park, scattered tourists can still be seen going out of the park.It doesn't look like a weird ruin that has been abandoned for a long time, but it looks like a serious amusement park that has been in business for many years and is still quite popular.
After Chuya Zhongya parked the car, he came to the place he and Yu Hoshino had agreed upon.
Nakahara Nakaya looked around, and just about to take out his mobile phone to call Edogawa Ranpo, he saw Hoshino Yu not far away chatting with a ticket inspector dressed as a staff member.
The mysterious Edogawa Ranpo was dressed the same as the last time they met, and he looked like he was lying on the railing at half a person's height like a baby.Edogawa Ranpo was looking up and saying something to the ticket inspector, when the staff member took out a booklet and handed it to him.
"Hey!" Nakahara Chuya couldn't help being startled when he saw this, he directly pulled Edogawa Ranpo, who was chatting with the amusement park employee who didn't know if it was a man or a ghost, and pulled away by the back of his collar. Come: "What are you doing?"
The employees of the amusement park were startled by Zhong Yuan Zhong who suddenly appeared: "You—?"
"We're together." Hoshino Yuu waved his hand at him to indicate that it's okay, and then turned to Nakahara Chuya: "What are you doing, Mr. Hat?"
what I do?I want to ask if you know what you are doing?
Seeing Hoshino Yuu's innocent face, Nakahara Chuya gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"Don't tell me you don't know that this place was a barren ruin a day ago."
Zhong Yuanzhong also pointed to the brightly lit playground behind him, from here he could see that the big pendulum in the playground was still operating normally.Every time the rotating pendulum swings from the highest point to the lowest point, sporadic and exciting screams will spread far away along with the whistling wind.
In the exit passage parallel to the ticket inspection passage, a family of three was walking out talking and laughing, and the child was still holding a red balloon in his hand.
It can be seen that these suddenly appeared, and the tourists who didn't know if it was true or not were having a lot of fun.
If he hadn't seen the deserted and abandoned appearance here, Zhongyuan Zhong would almost believe that this playground has always been
Hoshino Yu said in a natural tone: "Are you an idiot, Mr. Hat?"
"what?"
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have used interrogative sentences," Hoshino Yu said with a helpless tone, "You're an idiot."
Stupid in also.
"Isn't this something you can know at a glance?" Without waiting for Chuya Nakahara to jump, Hoshino Yu, who is familiar with his temperament, quickly changed the topic and successfully diverted Chuya Nakahara's attention: "The timing I said before, It's now."
"The sprouting weirdos have finally accumulated enough initial energy, from passive predation to active camouflage, attracting prey to throw themselves into the net..."
"...So the ruins you saw became what they are now."
Before Nakahara Chuya could ask a question, Hoshino Yu tidied up his cloak that was wrinkled by Nakahara Chuya, he took out two tickets from his pocket and handed one of them to Nakahara Chuya: "Okay, okay , Master Ranpo is going in to play, do you want to come together?"
The ticket in Edogawa Ranpo's hand was brand new, and it looked decent: on the stub of the ticket was written "Century Amusement Park" and "Welcome Parents and Children to Travel Together" and other small characters in hot gold ornate cursive characters.
On the second half page of the tear-off ticket, there is also a bright red seal that has just been buckled.
Nakahara has never seen what the tickets in the amusement park look like, but he thinks that the two tickets that Edogawa Ranpo is holding should be the same as the real ones, after all, they look quite similar. something happened.
"Ah? Aren't you coming?"
Dazed Nakahara Nakaya grabbed the ticket in Edogawa Ranpo's hand and said, "Of course I'm going."
"Then let's go." Hoshino Yu looked as if he had expected it a long time ago. Without saying anything, he turned around and led the way to the ticket gate of the park.
Nakahara was also afraid that Hoshino Yuu would be left behind, so he chased after Hoshino Yuu in three steps and walked side by side with Hoshino Yuu: "Edogawa, what did he give you just now? What were you talking about with him?" ah?"
Hoshino Yu glanced at him and said, "Brochure."
"Brochure?" Zhong Yuanzhong repeated without reacting.
Edogawa hurriedly took out the brochure he got just now from his cloak, and shook it in front of Chuya Nakahara: "It's the brochure of this amusement park, I just asked him Is there any place to recommend to visit?"
"Why are you asking this?" Edogawa Ranpo gave him an idiot-looking look, which made Nakahara realize that he had asked a stupid question: you can ask questions when you come to an amusement park What?
But soon Zhongyuanzhong also reacted, no!They didn't really come to the amusement park to play, and this amusement park is obviously not a serious amusement park?Why is this guy acting so naturally?
And——Zhongyuanzhong has been struggling with a problem......
It was already night, and only Edogawa Ranpo and him were queuing up at the ticket gate. From the gate, you could see a few scattered tourists walking slowly out of the playground.
This place is completely different from before and full of human habitation, as if it has always been such a matter of course.
However, under the calm and calm, a faint uneasiness that cannot be ignored is lingering in Zhongyuan Zhongye's heart, which makes him tense up.
The source of his nervousness is undoubtedly this gigantic amusement park that seems to be full of laughter and laughter, which seems extremely normal-this overly normal paradise is like an unknown beast dormant in the dark depths of dense bushes, weird and unpredictable. Extremely dangerous.
Nakahara Chuya secretly glanced at the ticket inspector who took the ticket and tore it off, and asked Hoshino Yuu in a low voice, "Are the employees here... are they human?"
"No." Edogawa Ranpo replied casually, and took the ticket from the ticket inspector who smiled and handed him the ticket stub.
Zhong Yuanzhong also subconsciously glanced at the ticket inspector, seeing that there was nothing unusual about the smile on his face, he was slightly relieved.
Following Edogawa's random steps out of the gate and into the amusement park, the large neon lights of Century Park fell on Hoshino Yuu's body, only then did Nakahara notice his paler face than usual, he hesitated and asked: "Your complexion doesn't look well... are you okay?"
Hoshino Yu didn't expect him to ask such a question. He stared at Nakahara Nakaya's cobalt blue eyes in a daze for a moment, then he collected himself and said, "...I'm fine."
Hoshino Yuu ignored the convulsive pain in his abdomen, spread out the brochure in his hand and pointed to the merry-go-round horse that was not circled in red on it, and showed it to Nakahara Chuya: "Shall we go here first?"
Nakahara has also partnered with Osamu Dazai countless times, and his feelings for Osamu Dazai are very complicated.But there is no doubt that Nakahara also believes in Osamu Dazai's mind and judgment.
After getting Dazai Osamu's affirmation that "he is not an enemy", Nakahara Nakaya automatically switched to the mode with an external brain follower the moment he saw Hoshino Yuu.
So although I don't know the reason why Edogawa Ranpo did this, but he who is used to Osamu Dazai's behavior pattern has long understood one thing: whatever these smart people do is full of meaning, he should not waste energy To find out why exactly...
When the other party is smart enough and trustworthy, he only needs to follow the steps step by step.
Zhongyuan Zhong also casually glanced at the map in Hoshino Yu's hand, he nodded without any objection, and said, "Yes."
Hoshino Yuu stopped in his tracks, and handed the brochure in his hand to Chuya Nakahara: "Let's go."
"Why?" Zhongyuan Zhong was also confused: "Aren't you with me?"
The corner of Hoshino Yu's mouth twitched, and it was obvious that he really wanted to say 'Are you an idiot'.
However, in the eyes of Jae Nakaya, he is just a stranger who has met twice, so Mr. Criminal Consultant curled his lips and explained with difficulty: "Master Ranpo can't find the way...you Come lead the way."
"Ah good......"
The starlight is dim, and the thin moonlight shines through the thick clouds and mist.
The cheerful and simple monotonous melody was repeated repeatedly in the speakers on the roadside of the amusement park, showing a bit of inappropriate weirdness in the gradually silent night.
The two back figures, one long and one short, fell on the ground and were stretched extremely long, appearing wobbly under the constantly changing colored lights.Hoshino Yuu and Nakahara Chuya walked along the road at the entrance of the park, one after the other, towards the interior of the park with flashing neon lights.
Seen from afar, they are drifting away, as if they are stepping into the dark mouth of an unknown monster and falling into an unknown abyss.
.......
.......
On the other side, in the Armed Detective Agency.
After Osamu Dazai learned about the Century Amusement Park, he hurriedly searched the Internet for relevant information.
All the information about the ruins in the suburbs disappeared from the search engine, replaced by the popular science introduction and some discussion posts of the Century Amusement Park: '...I didn't have time to play before, and I highly recommend it today. ...'
'Missing Person Announcement: Keiko Sugi, 11 years old, lost in Century Paradise, [picture]...'
'Refuting the rumors: Century Paradise officially refuted the rumors, there is no plan to organize a circus tour......'
"Dream collaboration is here, Century Paradise is celebrating its 13th anniversary, and will launch a limited edition co-branded doll with the popular animation..."
'......'
A series of detailed and true reports and forum discussion posts followed Dazai Zhi's scrolling of the mouse wheel, and the black and white text was reflected on his retina, reaching Dazai Zhi's eyes from top to bottom.
I'm in trouble...
Does Weird still have the ability to directly modify memory and reality?
Mr. Ranpo didn't mention this at all, and Osamu Dazai didn't believe that he didn't know, so the meaning of his behavior is worth pondering.
Overnight, a grand amusement park appeared out of thin air in the ruins that were a wasteland yesterday, and except for myself and others who had been aware of its original appearance from the beginning, everyone else seemed to take it for granted and didn't feel any strangeness.
Atsushi Nakajima moved closer to Osamu Dazai, and when he saw the content on the screen clearly, Atsushi Nakajima's pupils shrank slightly: "This—how is it possible...?"
"It seems that Mr. Edogawa Ranpo downstairs has concealed a lot of information from us..."
"Mr. Dazai? Where are you going?" Atsushi Nakajima looked up and found that Osamu Dazai had already walked to the door at some point.
"I'm going to talk to Mr. Ranpo downstairs~" Osamu Dazai dropped those words and went out.
Atsushi Nakajima looked at the computer screen, then at Izumi Kyoka and Kunikida Doppo who had already started packing their things and were about to leave, he hesitated for a moment and followed after him: "Please wait for me, Mr. Dazai."
......
......
Atsushi Nakajima grabbed the elevator door and squeezed into the elevator just before it closed, Osamu Dazai was dumbfounded when he saw it: "What are you following?"
Following Osamu Dazai all the way to the door of the bookstore on the third floor, seeing him knock on the door several times but no one responded, Atsushi Nakajima scratched his head and said, "Mr. Ranpo looks very sad...I want to see See if there's anything I can do to help..."
Of course Osamu Dazai knew that he was referring to Mr. Ranpo from the detective agency. He smiled helplessly, took out the wire from his pocket and inserted it into the lock cylinder with ease, and opened the room under the shocked eyes of Atsushi Nakajima. The door: "Hey~ I was careless, next time I should remember to ask Mr. Ranpo for his contact information..."
"T-Mr. Dazai, is this not good?"
"What's wrong?" Osamu Dazai opened the door and walked into the house, he said with a smile, "Oh, it seems that Mr. Ranpo didn't lock the door properly—"
Atsushi Nakajima stared dumbfounded at Osamu Dazai's series of movements as naturally as eating and drinking. Only then did he have a real feeling that Mr. Dazai was once one of the cadres of Mafia at the port: How did Mr. Dazai open his eyes so brightly? Are you talking nonsense? !
Just as Osamu Dazai stepped into the room, the sound of "shua" pierced through the air and hit his front door. As soon as Atsushi Nakajima, who was following Osamu Dazai, saw a blur of green, he saw Osamu Dazai. I don't know where I took out a book and blocked it in front of me.
Then the green afterimage disappeared as if it never appeared, Dazai Osamu hummed a strange song as usual, and strode into the hall of the book club.
"Just now... what was that?" Atsushi Nakajima walked into the room in a daze, looked around and saw nothing strange.
"Well——" Osamu Dazai put away Hoshino Yuu's "Disqualification in the World" again, and said briskly, "Maybe it's the little pet raised by Ranpo-san here?"
"Mr. Ranpo—are you home?" Dazai Osamu greeted refreshingly, but no one responded.
Osamu Dazai's eyes fell on the corridor with half-opened double doors next to the hall, he paused, turned around and walked straight into the corridor.
Walking to the door, Osamu Dazai stopped in his footsteps, and there was a familiar suitcase spread out not far from the door: torn snack packaging bags and scattered food residues were scattered everywhere, not far from the box There was also a small white medicine bottle rolled down.
Osamu Dazai's expression darkened, he leaned over to pick up the medicine bottle, and read the words on it clearly.
"Snacks—have they all been eaten by Mr. Ranpo?" Atsushi Nakajima couldn't help exclaiming when he saw the situation in the corridor clearly. He said uncertainly: "There are at least five or six Personal weight, right?"
"Hmm...it looks like this." Osamu Dazai stood up and let out a sigh of relief: "Bulimia nervosa."
When bulimia nervosa attacks, patients will have recurrent and irresistible desire to eat, which can be manifested as uncontrollable overeating behavior.
The cause of the disease is not yet clear, but it is mostly believed to be an eating disorder caused by environmental and psychological problems, and patients with this type of disease usually take measures such as 'fasting' and 'vomiting' under a sense of fear and guilt Relieve inner pain with self-help.
"What?" Nakajima Atsushi didn't hear what Osamu Dazai was saying, he looked at the empty suitcase with sympathy, and said in disbelief: "These things... how could one person eat them?" over."
Of course, Osamu Dazai sighed in his heart, as long as he kept vomiting, he could finish it all.
When patients with bulimia cannot restrain the desire to eat, they will repeatedly induce vomiting in large quantities to achieve the purpose of continuous eating and satisfy the desire to expand.
This disease will bring great pain to patients, and it is a double torment both mentally and physically.People with bulimia are not necessarily obese, but may be thinner than normal.Because the more they usually eat, the more they will uncontrollably induce self-abuse to vomit more.
However, every time they finish vomiting, they may continue to eat under the raging desire to overeat-repeated cycle, falling into a vicious circle from which they cannot break free.
Reminiscent of the various signs that Edogawa Ranpo showed during this period, his symptoms should have been severe to a certain extent, and he was on the verge of being unable to control himself.
Thinking of this possibility, Osamu Dazai took a look at the open room on the side—it was the kitchen: there were many empty bread bags scattered on the floor—Osamu Dazai opened the refrigerator and found rows of Sugar-free yogurt and whole grain bread.
Sure enough, Ranpo Edogawa knew about his illness, so he controlled his diet almost strictly, restrained his desires and tried to maintain a fragile balance.
However, who would make him do this...?
A flash of thought flashed in Dazai Osamu's eyes, he knew that if he continued to search, he might still find information, but obviously this is not the most important thing right now.
"Aton, please clean up here~~" Osamu Dazai walked around Atsushi Nakajima who was trying to clean up the garbage in the corridor with a smile, waved his hands briskly and ran away quickly before Atsushi Nakajima called him: "I suddenly remembered that there are some things I haven't done and I won't go back—"
"Huh? Myself?—Mr. Osamu Dazai!"
......
......
The waves beat against the rocks on the shore, and the sound of the waves can be heard from a distance from the Century Amusement Park.
"Please give me an adult ticket~"
Dazai Osamu was at the ticket office, and without blinking he took out the bank card he took from Kunikida Doppo when he got off work, and asked expectantly, "Can you use the card here?"
"Yes, sir."
"Great!" Osamu Dazai cheered, and summoned up his courage to look at the conductor lady affectionately and asked, "Then, would you like to die for love with me, miss?"
The expression on the face of the sweet-looking lady conductor froze for a moment, as if the computer froze for a second when processing abnormal data.
Immediately, the same smiling face appeared on the conductor's face as before, even with the same upward arc of the corner of her mouth: "...Yes, sir."
"Ah, forget it," Osamu Dazai, who was still in love just now, suddenly lost interest, he waved his hand and said, "Today is not a good weather to die for love, next time the weather is fine, let's go into the water together again. "
"Yes, sir."
Osamu Dazai stared at the conductor's sweet smile for a while, then looked away, and regretfully handed her the bank card in his hand.
Osamu Dazai sighed with a melancholy expression: Alas...it is rare that there is a beauty who is willing to die in love with him, but it seems that her mind is not normal...
Watching the movement of the conductor lady swiping the card, an idea appeared in Osamu Dazai's mind: This fake amusement park will not take Kunikida silver
