People are in Yokohama, the vest is fully open

Tens of meters away, Edogawa Ranbo saw from afar the sight that was looking at him from a distance, and he was running to get closer to his other self.

The dark night quietly disappeared, and the faint red moon gradually replaced it.

The phone in his pocket buzzed and vibrated, and Osamu Dazai's name flashed on the screen over and over again.However, Edogawa Ranpo was running with all his strength without even looking at him, and he had no time to worry about it.

20 meters, 11 meters, seven meters, five meters... getting closer.

As the distance kept getting closer, Edogawa Ranpo gradually saw the surprised look on his other face.

"What are you doing here?"

Edogawa Ranpo, who was dressed in black, was sitting on the merry-go-round and opened his eyes slightly, looking back at Edogawa Ranpo who suddenly appeared.

—He obviously didn't expect him to appear here.

Nakahara Nakahara, who was bitten by a snake, suddenly jumped off the Rainbow Little White Horse and looked back subconsciously: "Another one——Edogawa Ranpo?"

Famous detectives seldom run so exhaustingly. When they saw Edogawa Ranpo, they subconsciously wanted to show a smug smile.

He opened his mouth panting and wanted to say something, but his face suddenly became extremely bad: "Wait a minute......!"

——I saw Nakahara Nakaya, who was standing next to Hoshino Yuu, gradually disappeared as if his figure had been erased by an eraser.

And Hoshino Yuu's body gradually disappeared after him.

Even Edogawa Ranpo himself was like this: his thoughts became sluggish and gradually solidified, and his hands and feet gradually became stiff and uncontrollable.

Edogawa Ranpo struggled and took the last step forward, struggling to get into Hoshino Yuu's arms at the last moment when everything was frozen.

Hoshino Yu subconsciously opened his arms, grabbed the frizzy detective with one hand, and caught the beret that he almost dropped with the other hand in time.

Edogawa Ranpo looked up at his other dazed self with sparkling eyes, just like when he knocked on the downstairs door recklessly and broke into the opponent's barrier: "This time——"

'—it is your turn to forgive me. '

Edogawa Ranpo's unfinished ending sound dissipated in the air.

Two young men with similar faces, one black and one brown, looked at each other and embraced each other.Their overlapping figures were wiped off from top to bottom by an eraser bit by bit, and disappeared in the same place in an instant.

next moment.

In an instant, it was as if the night had drowned the day, and the sky had been soaked in blood—the sky and the earth had changed.

Edogawa Ranpo finally caught up.

Even though Osamu Dazai once said that they would not be able to catch up with Yu Hoshino and the others, even if a famous detective would not be able to find his way without someone to guide him, he still caught up.

——Before the world is flooded with blood and the clock stops completely.

The famous detective who has never lost his way can hold his other self and fall into the silent darkness together with him.

Just leave behind to decay.

The merry-go-round is still spinning and shaking.The colorful lights flickered a few times and then went out like a bad connection.

......

......

The mutation is over.

After the short-circuited sound made a loud electromagnetic sound, it played light music again.

In the empty amusement park, countless speakers hidden in the corner resounded with the same monotonous and brisk music, quiet and eerie.

After the light music was played, there was an extremely crisp sound from the speaker: "Ding Dong~"

Immediately afterwards, a gentle and cheerful male voice announced on the loudspeaker, "Good evening, dear tourists, welcome to the Century Playground..."

"Century Paradise is the largest amusement park in my country. This park is equipped with various amusement facilities and visiting items that you are interested in, and has been committed to providing you with the best play experience..."

"Therefore, the appropriate play time is specially customized for you: after each 30-minute play, you can get an equal rest time for recuperation. In addition, in order to better ensure your personal safety, please be sure to abide by the rules and regulations of each amusement facility. game rules."

"Otherwise, you will be at your own risk." The gentle and hoarse male voice paused for a moment before saying softly, "... the above, I wish you a pleasant stay."

......

......

where is he?

Zhong Yuanzhong also woke up in the darkness. When his eyes were blurred and focused to see the dim surroundings, he almost thought he hadn't opened his eyes.

Nakahara Chuya’s back was aching, and out of the corner of his eye he could vaguely see the outlines of objects of different heights around him: most of them looked like boxes, and occasionally there were some miscellaneous ones whose outlines could barely be seen. Things are crammed together haphazardly.

Messy and everything.

In the Central Plains, there are unicycles, black-painted birdcages, deflated patterned leather balls, and large steel rings of unknown purpose that can be vaguely identified with the help of blurred outlines.

By the way, where is Edogawa...and another Edogawa Ranpo now?

Zhong Yuanzhong also looked around as if he remembered something, looking for their figures but found nothing.

With the dim light cast from nowhere, Zhongyuan Zhong could barely see his environment clearly.

It looked like a warehouse for storing sundries, with rough ground underneath and an old sloping cloth roof above his head: it looked like he was in a huge yurt.

The air is filled with a stale and stale atmosphere that has not been ventilated for a long time, and the dust in the air can be slightly swayed between breaths.

The situation is unknown, and the enemy is also of a completely unknown type... Nakahara Nakahara hesitated for a while and did not take out his mobile phone. He was worried that the light of the mobile phone would reveal his position in the dim environment.

After hesitating for a moment, Nakahara Chuya decided to find out the surrounding situation first, and after figuring out what the situation is now, he would find a way to join Edogawa Ranpo and the others.

Zhong Yuanzhong also followed the light source carefully and walked through the pile of debris that was almost stacked to the top of the tent. The tent was so full of things that even walking could not find a gap for walking.

This extremely large tent was separated by many door curtains and thick cloth. Judging from the slanted curvature of the ceiling, Zhongyuan Zhongye should be located at the outermost edge of this large tent.

Zhongyuan Zhong also carefully bent down to sneak through the gap under a protruding balance beam, and finally saw clearly where the light source came from: the front was the doorway leading to another room, and the faint light was falling from the The light from the gap where the door curtain was not closed.

It was an orange lantern placed in a corner.

Zhong Yuanzhong also held his breath and observed for a while, but he didn't hear other breathing or footsteps - it seems that there should be no one else here for the time being.

After confirming that the environment he was in was safe for the time being, Nakahara Nakaya breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to take out his mobile phone from his pocket to send a text message to Edogawa Ranpo, a stack of booklets folded by him came out of Nakahara. Also fell out of the pocket.

Zhongyuan Zhong also picked up the booklet from the ground, but his eyes suddenly stopped when he glanced over the words on it.

The "Instructions for Entering the Park" originally written in yellow Q-type fonts has now turned blood red, and the content has also become something completely different from the content he had roughly scanned before: "1 The lion in the circus is ...animal with four legs, a tail and a long mane...please make sure you are seeing a real lion and not...."

"2 The circus in the amusement park cannot perform for some reason, and there is currently no animal trainer..."

"3 If you see an amusement park employee wearing a beast tamer costume... stay away immediately... don't... find you..."

"4......"

The lights of the horse lanterns are extremely dim, and the red characters are even more difficult to read in the dark.

Only then did Zhong Yuanzhong roughly see some of the extra things in the manual, and he suddenly felt an unspeakable chill hit his heart.

His nerves were tense to the extreme: it was a kind of awareness and vigilance similar to biological instinct.

'Who - who is looking at me? '

Zhong Yuanzhong also raised his head suddenly and stuck face to face with a man who floated in front of him at some point and was staring at him.

The man has an extremely long horse face, and his pupils are so black that the whites of his eyes are almost invisible. At first glance, he looks very scary.

What made Zhongyuan Zhongye most nervous was: the weird man in front of him was dressed like a beast tamer.

Zhong Yuanzhong also felt his heart skip a beat, he retreated abruptly, raised his leg and wanted to swing at the strange man in front of him: "Who are you?!"

......

......

Osamu Dazai likes jumping machines very much. There is nothing more relaxing than a sudden weightless fall from a high altitude.

At least, half an hour ago, he had thought so cheerfully.

But unfortunately, the current Osamu Dazai firmly believes that the jumping machine is the most shitty invention in the world, and its level is almost as bad as that of artificial Aragami.

Osamu Dazai was a little luckier than Nakahara, only a little.

He heard the rules before the disaster came.
