People are in Yokohama, the vest is fully open

Edogawa Ranpo took the ticket from Osamu Dazai and said, "How could I just let him go and let you come to him alone."

"Why not?" Osamu Dazai said jokingly, "Mr. Ranpo from Mafia at the port seems to like me quite a bit."

Edogawa Ranpo unexpectedly didn't refute Osamu Dazai's words: Although he didn't want to admit it, the other self's attitude towards the members of the Armed Detective Agency—especially Osamu Dazai and Yukichi Fukuzawa was really too strange.

If there are any words that can describe Edogawa Ranpo's character, then pride and ego should be regarded as two more appropriate words.With his character, not only is it difficult to deliver trust and care, but also his disgust and resistance.

At least the current Edogawa Ranpo has never had strong resistance or rejection of anyone.

For a detective whose brains are genius enough to ignore the rules, disdain is the norm, and hate is an emotion that is more difficult to give than appreciation.

Even if Edogawa Ranpo put himself in another's position, he still couldn't figure out the reason at all.

Even if Edogawa Ranpo became one of the cadres of the port Mafia, for him, even in the face of hostile forces, indifference and ignorance are the norm.

The overly clear emotional fluctuations towards Osamu Dazai, appearing in another Edogawa Ranpo itself means contradictions, and even the impersonal Edogawa Ranpo can see the subtleties.

For example: with Edogawa Ranpo's mind, he doesn't think that the other person will be troubled by tens of thousands of yen, so the "book rental fee" he charged against Osamu Dazai, which can be called superfluous, is means something different.

Following behind Osamu Dazai step by step, Edogawa checked the ticket and entered the park smoothly.When he was frowning and thinking about what happened between his other self and Osamu Dazai, he suddenly heard Osamu Dazai on the side turn to another topic: "I tried it just now, and you guessed it, it really works. .”

"Ability?" Edogawa Ranpo asked.

"No..." Dazai Osamu pondered for a moment, "It's more like a key."

"A key...?"

Edogawa suddenly realized that it was so.

Hoshino Yuu gave them the two books for another purpose - this is something that Edogawa Ranpo and Dazai Osamu can confirm early on, but because of the lack of information, they have never figured out why Hoshino Yuu did this .

——Definitely not just to make them believe that he came from a parallel world.

At the beginning, Edogawa Ranpo and Osamu Dazai also guessed that the book with the same name as the supernatural power was a supernatural prop with a modified version.

In this way, Hoshino Yuu's act of "donating" books has an explanation: the book he gave Dazai Osamu is a "disqualification in the world" that can take effect against weirdness, and the book he gave him is an inexplicably extra strange ability with Edogawa Ranpo related.

Ever since they learned that Osamu Dazai's disqualification in the world was invalid for the two suspected weird potted plants in the book club, they have been waiting for an opportunity to try the 'props'.

But Osamu Dazai had already obtained the answer in previous attempts: the weird potted plant did not disappear when it touched the book, but flinched back as if seeing some kind of pass.

So compared to props, the books Hoshino Yuu gave them are more like a key to travel.

But if it's the key... Edogawa turned his head and stopped in a hurry, staring at Osamu Dazai who was walking towards the park with a smile on his face: "Where's the thing?"

It is impossible for the other self not to guess the reaction of him and Osamu Dazai after getting the book, so his giving the 'key' itself represents one thing: he left something inconvenient for them in the book club .

"Ah—that, time is running out," Osamu Dazai said casually, "I let Aton stay."

"Are you sure Atsushi can find it?" Edogawa paused for a moment, as if he had seen through Dazai Osamu's intentional arrangement at a glance, and asked, "Or, does he know that he still needs to find something?"

Entering from the gate of Century Amusement Park, there is a wide and flat road, with dim street lamps standing on both sides of the road, the dark bushes show luxuriant tree shadows under the dim street lamps, and the hanging sound beside the street lamps, The entrance reminder is broadcasting in a gentle female voice: "...the park will be closed in three to 10 minutes. Please leave the park within the specified time... The water park is currently under maintenance , please go to other areas to play, I wish you a pleasant stay..."

Dazai Osamu looked at the environment in the park, he smiled and waved his hands, "Don't worry~ Since the other Ranpo-san chose this way, it means it's not something we urgently need."

Therefore, no matter how bad it is, it is the same to wait for them to go back and search again.

"And," Dazai Osamu said with a refreshing smile, "Atsu-kun is serious about his work, even if it's just cleaning."

Speaking of which, Osamu Dazai saw the roadside sign out of the corner of his eye, and he walked in with great interest to observe the layout of the amusement park above.

"Oh." Edogawa Ranpo glanced at the map on the sign and said, "Did you give him the 'key'?"

Osamu Dazai said confidently: "Of course, when I left, I put "No Place in the World" on the table in the entrance, and Aden will definitely find out."

"And then?" Edogawa asked slowly, "Are you sure he won't think that you put it there on purpose?"

With Little Tiger's brain capacity, it's hard not to doubt that he will completely misunderstand, and be careful not to change the location of "No Place in the World"—let alone bring it back.

The smile on Dazai Osamu's face froze for a moment, and soon returned to normal: "You think too much, Ranpo-san, that kind of thing won't happen."

Edogawa Ranpo memorized the layout of the amusement park in his mind noncommittally, and looked away from the map: "I hope he can last until we go back."

"Ah~ Mr. Ranpo, at least you have to have some confidence in Atsushi~" Osamu Dazai took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the distribution map as a record. He straightened up and said with a smile, "Tigers don't die so easily."

When you say confidence—do you mean this? !

If the person standing here is the reliable lord Kunikida, he should have started to grab Dazai Osamu by the neck and roar angrily: "So you are a completely unreliable bastard!"

But standing here is Edogawa Ranpo, so he didn't respond to Dazai Osamu's words at all, but pointed to the merry-go-round some distance away and said: "Master Ranpo is going here, you take me go."

"Huh?" Osamu Dazai opened his eyes wide. He pointed to the opposite position on the carousel map and said, "But I want to play the jumping machine."

Osamu Dazai seemed to know what he was thinking, and said encouragingly: "Mr. Ranpo, even if you pass by now, you can't catch up with them. Would you like to experience the thrill of falling with me?"

"No," Edogawa Ranpo was unmoved: "Then Ranpo-sama is going to play on the merry-go-round too!"

Osamu Dazai·Maomao Universe Sublimation.

He pondered for a moment in embarrassment, and suddenly suggested: "That's good! Let's split up first, and we will make up when we get together in the end!"

Edogawa Ranpo silently looked at Osamu Dazai without saying a word.

Edogawa Ranpo: Stare——

"Ah, but this jumping machine is super interesting at first glance!" Facing Edogawa Ranpo's urging eyes, Osamu Dazai clasped his hands together: "Please, please, Mr. Ranpo. We only have 10 minutes, and the merry-go-round will be finished soon." Just turn left at the intersection ahead! You won’t get lost.”

Edogawa Ranpo called Osamu Dazai's name: "Dazai."

Osamu Dazai pleaded innocently: "Please, Mr. Ranpo~ This is my lifelong request!"

As he spoke, he also took out his mobile phone and shook it, and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, as long as we are in the 'amusement park', we will not lose contact."

"Whatever you want, a famous detective is absolutely fine even if he is alone." Edogawa Ranpo glared at him angrily, then turned around and went straight past Osamu Dazai who wanted to go jumping off a building: "Ranpo The adults will not wait for you forever."

"Hey hey hey~!" Dazai Osamu happily walked towards the fork in the road opposite to Edogawa Ranpo: "Have fun, Mr. Ranpo."

......

......

On the other side, Atsushi Nakajima, who was left in the White Crow Book Club, did not know the conversation between Osamu Dazai and Ranpo Edogawa.

Facing the empty room, Atsushi Nakajima hesitated for a while, but he still tidied up carefully according to Osamu Dazai's instructions.

After sorting out the scattered snacks and packaging bags on the bright side, Atsushi Nakajima didn't dare to wander around at all.He stared at the books and papers scattered on the carpet somewhere in the rows of bookshelves, wondering if he should help tidy up.

Atsushi Nakajima hesitated, but as soon as he thought of Mr. Dazai's skillful lockpicking action, he made a decision: it's fine to take out the trash, and he still doesn't want to move other people without the consent of another Mr. Ranpo. something.

Mr. Dazai was the only one who could behave as if he had the master's permission, and Shi Shiran pried into the house to hang out... Thinking of this, Atsushi Nakajima was in awe.

——As expected of Mr. Dazai!

Atsushi Nakajima withdrew his gaze, picked up the bag and wanted to leave.

Nakajima Atsushi looked around the room and found nothing wrong.

As soon as he was about to leave, Atsushi Nakajima's eyes touched the "Disqualification in the World" that was placed in the entrance at some point.

--Huh?Isn't this the book Mr. Dazai took back from the detective agency?

Atsushi Nakajima's eyes only stayed on the book for a moment and then looked away. No matter why it was here, it had nothing to do with him.

——Mr. Dazai must have his intentions in doing this, he just needs to do what Mr. Dazai ordered!

Thinking of this, Atsushi Nakajima was about to open the door and leave with a garbage bag in his hand.

However, as soon as he took a step and put his hand on the doorknob, the potted plants at the door roared and opened their teeth and claws, and the green vines waving wildly like octopus tentacles came straight towards Atsushi Nakajima's face. !

Little Tiger: Pupil earthquake!

What is this? !

......

In Century Amusement Park, at the carousel.

Colorful lights are dotted on the slowly rotating carousel, emitting brilliant light under the night sky.

Hoshino Yuu and Nakahara Chuya are sitting on the merry-go-round, one behind the other, and the merry-go-round they are riding on is slowly rising with the light and childlike piano music.

As the sound reminding that the park is about to close continues to sound, the melodious piano music in the daytime also sounds a little strange in the tense Central Plains at this time.

Like a frightened bird, he firmly grasped the neck of the sunshine rainbow little white horse.Zhong Yuanzhong also observed the surrounding plants and trees vigilantly, as if they would suddenly come alive and attack him in the next second.

But the merry-go-round went round and round, and the kid in the black cloak in front dangled his legs and played the merry-go-round again and again, and the Central Plains did not find anything unusual.

Watching the last crying child being taken back by his parents, Zhongyuan Zhong finally couldn't help it: "Hey! How long are we going to sit here? Watanabe—where are those missing people? where?"

Thinking of the words of the missing cadre A and Mori Ogai, Nakahara couldn't help becoming irritable: "I didn't ask you to come here for fun. Even if you don't want to take me directly, you can tell me how to get there."

"Alas." Hoshino Yuu, who was sitting on the unicorn, let out a heavy sigh, and just when Zhongyuan Zhong also nervously thought that he was about to say something important, he just shook his head and said, "Hello, Mr. Hat." Impatient."

"what--"

"Of course Ranpo-sama knows what you want to do," Hoshino Yuu said eloquently, "But even if Mafia asks others to do things, you have to pay, right?"

"So, play with me for a while, isn't this what Mr. Hat should do?"

Zhongyuan Zhong was also unable to refute, he looked away uncomfortably, and said: "Then... I have played with you for several rounds, so it's almost the same."

"Okay." Seeing that the time was almost up, Hoshino Yuu turned his head to look at Nakahara Nakaya and asked, "Mr. Hat, do you know what the inner world is?"

Zhong Yuanzhong had never heard of this term before, so he couldn't help frowning: "What is that?"

"The people you want to find are all in the other world." Hoshino Yu said, "They are here, but you can't find them no matter what you look for now."

"Everything has two sides, and the world we live in is also like this." Hoshino Yuu looked over Zhong Yuanzhong and landed behind him, and the dark sky began to fill with a faint crimson at some point , and the silver moon in the night sky seemed to be weeping blood, with dark red veins flowing on its surface.

The road in the distance was faintly illuminated by the red moon, and it seemed that a young man was trotting all the way here.

"Everywhere we see is just the surface of this world," Hoshino Yu said, his eyes falling on a familiar figure from far to near, "and when a certain opportunity arises, we can Witness the real inner world that emerges after the surface of the world fades away."

The faint chirping of insects in the summer night did not know when it disappeared, and the warm reminder sound that had been playing on the hanging speaker on the street lamp also made intermittent noises like poor signal reception.

As Hoshino Yuu's voice fell, Zhongyuan Zhong also keenly sensed the strangeness, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the sky: "This——?!"

I saw that the dark night sky was being swallowed by the spreading blood red at an extremely fast speed.

The flat asphalt pavement in the amusement park cracked and sunken without warning and became extremely old. The rusty iron red was blooming on the brand-new equipment before, and the strong mechanical arm of the big pendulum broke with a 'crack'.

The tone of the soft piano music playing in the carousel has also become harsh and monotonous.

Zhong Yuanzhong was also shocked to find that even the little rainbow horse he was riding on had undergone a mutation: the colorful paint oxidized and peeled off instantly under his gaze, becoming old, dirty and dusty—even giving out an overwhelmed sound. The 'crunch' sound.

"This—is the inner world."

Welcome to the real world.
