People are in Yokohama, the vest is fully open

......

......

Outside the mirror maze.

"Congratulations, you have successfully cleared the mirror maze. You have three and 10 minutes to rest and explore. I wish you a pleasant experience."

Ignoring the gloating sound, Edogawa staggered out of the exit of the maze with unsteady breathing.

Wrapped in layers of black shadows, the suffocating feeling of submerging nose picking still lingered in his heart, Edogawa Ranpo's chest heaved violently, breathing in and out like a broken bellows.

The brain seemed to be a little sluggish and dizzy due to lack of oxygen and extremely tense nerves. Edogawa ranbu glanced at the logo on the back of his hand, and when he saw that the 'battery' was full, he completely let go of his strength and fell down on the side of the road. on the flower bed.

He was almost replaced by the 'self' in the mirror: Before Edogawa Ranbu escaped from the mirror maze, the black shadow in the mirror seemed to be unwilling to clung to his ankles and spread to his mouth and nose, trying to swallow him He swallows and stays.

When being entangled by the other party, every cell in Edogawa Ranpo's body was clamoring for danger. It was definitely not the fear that simple death could bring, it was the intuitive fear from the depths of the soul—— If it is swallowed, 'he' will be completely wiped out and replaced by the dove occupying the magpie's nest.

He will disappear and die, but 'Detective Edogawa Ranpo' will still live in the world.

Edogawa Ranpo's body was still trembling slightly because of the lingering panic at this moment, he tried his best not to recall the despair that was about to be completely submerged just now, trying to clear his mind, trying to calm his mind.

Calm down, Lord Ranpo is safe...Calm down quickly!I have to find another Ranpo-sama as soon as possible...

"Ohayo~~Mr. Ranpo——"

The refreshing greeting made Ranpo Edogawa, who was in a trance, raised his head, and he immediately saw Osamu Dazai walking towards him with his hands in his windbreaker pockets, and the weird clown following him.

How should I put it... Although I didn't expect to see this kind of scene, but... it is really inexplicable and not surprising at all.

"Dazai..." As soon as Edogawa Ranpo spoke, he felt a little pain in his throat where the shadow was entangled, and he gasped uncomfortably.

Edogawa Ranpo's squinted eyes widened slightly in surprise, and his eyes fell on the clown who was close behind Osamu Dazai.

Sensing Edogawa Ranpo's eyes, the clown who had a big problem at first glance smiled at him grimly.

"Don't tell me...this is an amusement park souvenir you brought me..."

Mr. Detective's arm seemed to be seriously injured, Dazai Osamu did not answer Edogawa Ranpo's question immediately, he looked up and down Edogawa Ranpo: Mr. Detective who has no dressing experience just bulged his cloak on his arm indiscriminately Wrapped into a ball, let alone the hemostatic effect, the visual effect alone is very cumbersome.

Mr. Detective Xu's complexion looked very bad because of excessive blood loss.Hmm... The current Mr. Edogawa Ranpo looks pale and haggard and indifferent... actually has a bit of overlap with another 'Edogawa Ranpo'.

But it seems that the problem should not be big.

Osamu Dazai first looked at the situation of Edogawa Ranpo with concern, and seeing that he seemed to be in no serious condition, he smiled and looked away, and said briskly: "Ah... this is just a case of worry. I am too scared to walk alone at night, so kind people who kindly help me accompany me~~"

"Oh..." Edogawa stood up from the corner propped up against the wall in disorder, he was not affected by Osamu Dazai's obvious nonsense.Edogawa Luanpo looked at the clown who was smiling at him in front of him: "This is the one who made those people disappear—the clown, right?"

"Bingo~! You can't hide anything from Ranpo-san!"

""Joker-chan seems to be following you, Ranpo-san, but don't worry......"

Dazai Osamu didn't have to worry about the danger of the clown, he took out the brochure from his pocket, shook it, and handed it to Edogawa Ranpo: "Ranpo-san, you just need to look at the kid when he smiles at you." Just put a smile on your face.

"Well, it's like this—"

Osamu Dazai blocked the clown who wanted to float in front of Ranpo Edogawa, and said with a bright smile: "You are too serious about your work, clown-chan~~"

The clown has been following Dazai since just now, with an extremely stiff smile on his face, no matter how hard Dazai can shake it off.

However, according to 'Edogawa Ranpo', Weird seems to have to obey certain rules in exchange for power, and this clown: it seems that as long as he obeys the rules and responds to his smile from time to time, he can't do direct damage, It can only be tortured mentally by pressing on every step of the way.

Therefore, after Osamu Dazai figured out the weakness of the clown in front of him, he became unscrupulous - no matter what angle the pendant behind him tried to smile at him with his bloody mouth open, Osamu Dazai could return his bright and bright smile in time : "You are really dedicated—"

"Occasionally you have to learn to be lazy~~~"

Osamu Dazai said that with a bright smile, but what he got in return was a clown who didn't know the joy of fishing at all, and an even more ferocious smile.

Edogawa tilted his head in disorder, his eyes paused for a moment on Dazai Osamu's face.

After confirming that Osamu Dazai was not lying, Edogawa Ranpo raised his eyelids and smiled perfunctorily at the clown with fluttering facial features, then lowered his head to check the pamphlet that Osamu Dazai gave him.

"..."

"7 The clown in the amusement park has a good temper. When you see him, ask (crossed out by someone and scribbled) There are no clowns in the amusement park..."

Edogawa Ranpo's gaze paused for a moment on the mottled handwriting behind the line about clown rules.

After staring at the handwriting that had been scratched out forcefully, Edogawa Ranpo could vaguely see incoherent words like 'Response....smile...'.

Edogawa Ranpo had a clear understanding in his heart, he flipped through the brochure, and briefly browsed the messy but inexplicably weird amusement park guide.

'28. Don't disperse with your companions... Once dispersed, please complete the play plan alone...'

'29. If you see a 'human' who is exactly like him after being separated from your companion, please be vigilant and confirm whether he is really your lost companion...and not other humanoids.... ...'

Thinking of the ominous premonition when he was entangled by the black eagle in the mirror maze, Edogawa Ranpo's guess became more and more certain: "If he was eaten at that time... he would be completely replaced. ? '

In just a few glances, Edogawa Ranpo has already memorized all the precautions that he does not know whether it is credible or not.

"what have you found?"

Edogawa Ranpo has been on his way since he entered the paradise, and finally found another self, but they only hugged each other tightly for a moment, and they were forced to part.Afterwards, all of Edogawa Ranpo's energy was concentrated on cracking the wriggling mirror maze and escaping with the shadow in the mirror, without carefully observing the details of the inner and outer worlds at all.

Another 'Edogawa Ranpo' once said that even the weirdness of the domain kind of scope will have the main core at the beginning of everything.

The core is the origin of the weirdness, the fulcrum of the domain, the source of everything, the weakness and the end.

If you want to leave and destroy Century Amusement Park, finding the core that weaves this tragic nightmare and destroying it is obviously the only way.

But having said that, Ranpo Edogawa already had a rough idea in his mind after reading the "Century Amusement Park Play Guide" handed over by Osamu Dazai.

"Mr. Ranpo, did you inquire about the information of Century Amusement Park before you came in?" Although he used interrogative sentences, Osamu Dazai used the tone of stating the facts.

"Of course."

Unexpectedly, after being affirmed by Edogawa Ranpo, Osamu Dazai nodded, he did not continue the topic, but said: "It's not just clowns, time is limited, I only went to see the haunted house mentioned in the guidebook An anomaly was indeed found."

Beast trainers, circuses, amusement parks, haunted houses, fashion stores, parades, and the one that was first announced on the admission broadcast to remind the maintenance to be closed, but there is no trace on the map or any information in the guide water park.......

Combining these special locations with the previous reports that Edogawa Ranpo and Osamu Dazai inquired before entering the amusement park, then what is the core is...obviously ready to come out.

"So the answer is already obvious~~" As if knowing what Edogawa Ranpo was thinking, Dazai Osamu's voice sounded almost at the same time, and he asked for Edogawa Ranpo's opinion with a smile: "So next. ...is it a haunted house?"

"No," Edogawa Ranpo recalled the rules about ghost talk about the cabinet of the haunted house, and simply rejected his proposal: "It's a fashion store."

"Ah..." After thinking for a while, Osamu Dazai clenched his right fist and tapped on the open palm of his left hand: "Sure enough, it's better to be more comfortable."

Edogawa Ranpo ignored Dazai Osamu's exclamation, his eyes fell on Dazai Osamu's overturned palm: "How many minutes do you have?"

Osamu Dazai turned his hand over and looked at the 'battery' icon that was halfway through, smiled and said: "Well... If I counted correctly, it should have been 17 minutes and 57 seconds since I left the last scene , floating up and down for no more than 12 seconds."

"Barely in time..."

Counting heartbeats is a skill that Osamu Dazai is very sure of. Edogawa Ranpo nodded without questioning, his body has relaxed, and he is no longer tense and trembling like before: "Let's go, let's go directly to fashion shop."

"Huh? Is it in time?" Osamu Dazai was surprised. He barely had enough time to arrive at the fashion store, but the fashion store was a special scene rather than a play item, which was why he would give priority to choosing a haunted house at the beginning.

After all, the haunted house is an excellent place that just integrates 'passage' and amusement projects.
