People are in Yokohama, the vest is fully open

What happened here, 'Edogawa Ranpo' and Nakahara Chuya didn't know.

After identifying the direction, Nakahara took 'Edogawa Ranpo' all the way to the fashion store unimpeded without spending too much time.

The boutique is a small European-style bungalow. From the window outside, you can see the beautiful dresses and all kinds of fashionable fashion inside, as well as the beautiful swimsuits on the wall that can be vaguely glimpsed.

Although the fashion house at this time seems a bit eerie because of its staleness and dilapidation, it is not difficult to imagine its exquisite and gorgeous former times.

"Ranbu, we're here." Zhongyuan Zhong also carefully chose to stop at a place some distance from the boutique, and stopped.

Nakahara Chu also turned his face and whispered the name of 'Edogawa Ranpo'.

'Edogawa Ranpo''s furry ears moved slightly, he slowly opened his eyes, and let go of the hand around Nakahara Nakaya's neck.

Nakahara Nakaya stared at the open wound on the cheek of 'Edogawa Ranpo' which quickly healed, and restrained himself from speaking.

'Edogawa Ranpo' slipped from Nakahara Chuya's back to the ground, grabbed his elbow to stabilize his balance: "...so fast, Chuya."

"Next, shall we go in?"

"Ah."

'Edogawa Ranpo' let go, he pushed open the glass door of the fashion store, turned his head and urged Nakahara Nakaya to follow his footsteps: "If my guess is right, this place should also be a special place for one person and one person. For the scene, as long as the two of us stay together, we should not be judged successful by the rules, and we will be in a special scene alone..."

The moment the glass door was opened, light and repetitive light music like a music box was coming from the dim fashion store.

'Edogawa Ranpo' continued: "...But once we are separated, there is no certainty."

"I understand." Nakahara Nakaya grabbed the hand of 'Edogawa Ranpo' with his backhand, and walked into the fashion store side by side with him. 'Edogawa Ranpo' glanced at Nakahara Chuya, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and followed behind Nakahara Chuya quietly.

The interior space of the fashion store is larger than what they saw from the outside. In addition to the sweet dresses and children's clothing displayed in the window on the first floor, the spacious hall is lined up with rows of neatly arranged daily casual clothes. Clothing, mainly women's clothing and a small amount of children's clothing.

There is a row of single rooms with pink curtains directly opposite the door, which looks like a fitting room, and there are as many as seven or eight at a rough glance.

The door curtains were somewhat faded, and even some of the door curtains had been damaged and fell off, leaving a thin layer of dust hanging on the ground.

A long row of simple seats is thoughtfully placed next to the fitting room, which looks like a waiting area for men who are shopping with their girlfriends or wives.

Next to the fitting room are large mirrors and a staircase with a spiral handrail, the luscious paint on the stairs is also showing a dull gray from oxidation.

He obviously didn't feel much night breeze in the air, but standing in the old fashion store at this time, Zhong Yuanzhong seemed to feel the cool breeze seeping in from the broken window.

The door curtain of the fitting room was blown by the cool wind, revealing the dark inside, which could not be seen clearly under the dark red moonlight but showed a bit of unknown weirdness.

'Edogawa Ranpo' glanced at the hall on the first floor and made a judgment: "Let's go to the second floor."

Nakahara was stunned for a moment and then agreed. After browsing some of the memories of 'Edogawa Ranpo', at this time he heard 'Edogawa Ranpo' commanding in such a familiar tone, he felt inexplicably There was a throbbing and familiarity: "...Huh? Okay."

The entire fashion store revealed an atmosphere of being abandoned for a long time, and it was full of exquisite clothes, but they all looked a bit old and decayed.

The shelves are covered with thick dust, even if you just walk by, it seems to be able to shake the floating dust on the surface.Nakahara Chuya and Edogawa Ranpo walked among rows of silent shelves, and they could smell the moldy dust in the air.

Nakahara Nakaya carefully led 'Edogawa Ranpo' around a display stand.

When passing the stand, Nakahara Chuya saw a lice crawling from the model's neck at the neckline of the model's slightly yellowed lapel shirt from the corner of his eyes and into the buttonless front.

Going all the way up the escalator, Nakahara Chuya and Edogawa came to the second floor in random steps.

Compared with the dazzling array of things downstairs, the emptiness here is more like a warehouse for storing goods: waste cardboard boxes are piled up on the open ground, and the floating ash on the boxes is very thick.

The second floor also has several fitting rooms in the same position as the first floor, but it is slightly different from the first floor.

——The number of fitting rooms is not only much smaller, but the door has also been replaced by a simple door curtain with a bolted wooden door painted in dark pink.

And for some unknown reason, the space upstairs is nearly half smaller than downstairs—this caused the location of this row of fitting rooms to move forward a lot.

"Huh?" Nakahara Chuya's eyes fell on the wooden door of the fitting room, and he asked inexplicably, "There are few people coming upstairs, so why is the fitting room here made of more solid wood than downstairs?" wooden door?"

"Because it's more convenient."

"What's convenient?" Zhong Yuan Zhong also seemed even more confused.

'Edogawa Ranpo' glanced at the roof next to the fitting room. He didn't explain why it was more convenient. He dragged Zhong Yuanzhong, who was still thinking hard, to the closest fitting room. room.

"It's so big..." As soon as he entered the fitting room, Zhong Yuanzhong realized something was wrong: from the outside, this fitting room was only slightly larger than the fitting room on the first floor, but when he entered the Only then will you find that the interior space is very narrow and long.

Zhong Yuanzhong also noticed that the sound of the music did not decrease even after entering the fitting room, and he didn't even know if it was because of the closed space, but the sound increased slightly.It seemed that the fitting room hadn't been opened for a long time, and the air was not circulating. When I walked in, there was a faint feeling of stagnation due to lack of oxygen.

The melodious "Fur Elise" flows tightly in the fitting room, and there is a musty and decaying smell in the air, which subtly makes people a little drowsy and drowsy.

'Edogawa Ranpo' under the light of the crimson moon, reached out and groped on the wall, then turned on the light with a "snap": "Close the door."

The lighting lamp is a small tungsten electric light bulb, the lampshade is somewhat black, and the small light bulb is fixed by the door, which can only illuminate a part of the area near the door.Although the fitting room was too spacious, it didn't look particularly empty because the space inside was covered with posters of fashion magazines and some sundries were piled up.

Zhongyuan Zhong also only glanced at the messy interior and then withdrew his gaze. He looked at the moldy wooden ceiling with the help of the light.

Although he was puzzled, Zhongyuan Zhong also closed the door according to his words. The moment the door was closed, the space in front of him seemed to be distorted for a moment, and there seemed to be a rustling sound coming from the corner.

However, the sense of incongruity at that moment dissipated quickly, and Zhong Yuanzhong was sure that it was not his hallucination. He looked around in surprise and found no obvious abnormalities.

Chuya Nakahara turned around and found that 'Edogawa Ranpo' had touched the wall covered with posters at some point: "Ranpo? What did you find?"

The posters on the wall looked like they were old. Not only did the color look a little dull and yellowish, but even the corners were slightly curled up.

A promotional curtain of the Century Amusement Park Circus was hung above the poster. The curtain was so large that it fell close to the ground. On it was a clown riding a unicycle with a bright smile on his face and catching the ball.

'Century Amusement Park's latest launch - Circus World, is waiting for you to come. '

Under the hanging picture were piled up some cardboard boxes that seemed to contain some wrapping paper, blocking the lower edge of the hanging picture.

Stopping in front of the dusty hanging picture, 'Edogawa Ranpo' was a bit embarrassed.Although 'Edogawa Ranpo' doesn't have a cleanliness fetish, it's still a bit embarrassing for him to sweep away the posters and posters covered in dust and cobwebs.

"Let me do it..." Nakahara Nakaya walked up to Edogawa Ranpo and pulled the gloves on his hand and asked, "Are you going to tear these off?"

"Well," 'Edogawa Ranpo' nodded unexpectedly, and happily gave way to Nakahara Chuya: "It should be enough to just lift up the hanging painting...but it can also be torn off. "

"Okay." Zhong Yuanzhong also had a guess in his mind. In the women's fitting room... there must be a camera for peeping or sneaking pictures installed behind the hanging picture.

Zhongyuan Zhong also looked closely at the hanging painting, and found no damage or holes. He glanced at the 'Edogawa Ranpo' who was standing anxiously behind him and said: "Stay away, the dust should be bigger in a while."

"Oh." 'Edogawa Ranpo' moved his ears, and obediently stepped back a few steps.After thinking for a while, 'Edogawa Ranpo' stepped back a little bit, and he directly squeezed his nose and retreated to the door—I don't know if it was the illusion of 'Edogawa Ranpo', he always felt that his nose now It seems to be a little more sensitive than before, it's better to be careful...... He doesn't want to keep sneezing.

Seeing 'Edogawa Ranpo' backing away, Nakahara Naka also held his breath, and tore down the hanging picture on the wall with a 'shua'.

"Cough cough, cough cough..." Although he had been prepared for a long time, "Edogawa Ranpo" was still coughed by the sudden increase of dust in the air, but fortunately it was not serious, he pinched it for a while The nose is smooth.

Nakahara also threw the hanging picture in his hand aside, he took a look at 'Edogawa Ranpo' and found that there was something wrong with him, so he continued to tear up the poster.

"It's ok." Just as half of the poster under his hand was torn off, Nakahara heard the sound of 'Edogawa Ranpo' approaching, and he hurriedly let go of his hand and stood aside.

'Edogawa Ranpo' was choked by the shaken dust and his eyes were stinging. He closed his eyes forcefully, and then stood in the position that Nakahara Nakaya gave up just now.

'Edogawa Ranpo' took a closer look at the wall, and as expected, found a tiny gap. 'Edogawa Ranpo' tentatively pushed the hidden door panel in front of him, with a 'squeak' sound, it almost merged with the wall. The integrated wooden door was pushed open so easily.

"This is........"

Zhong Yuanzhong also widened his eyes in astonishment, he had no idea that there was a secret door hidden here.

I have to say that the designer's design is very ingenious. Layers of posters of various colors are already distracting, and a layer of hanging curtains that can completely cover the door is superimposed on it, so that even if someone gets close to check it, it is rare You'll notice the secret door hidden below.

What's more, the designer deliberately only dealt with the lighting at the door, making the place that has accumulated a lot of debris look even more dim and inconspicuous.

If it is just because the downstairs is too crowded, women who choose to come up to try on clothes alone will only change clothes at the door with clothes hooks.

Originally, there were not many people on the second floor, which might make the women who came up to change their clothes alone a little uneasy, but when they fastened the bolt on the wooden door, the uneasiness caused by the lack of people would be transformed into "safe here" The signal is released by the brain to make them relax their vigilance.

And the danger will come quietly just at this time.

It is more convenient to plug the wooden door than the door curtain. Where is the convenience?

It forms a nearly airtight airtight space in the fitting room, with much poorer air permeability and air circulation.

It made leaving much more complicated than opening the curtain. Even if a single woman with sore hands and feet vaguely noticed something was wrong, it would be difficult to open the plug and escape before she fell unconscious.

It makes moving and disappearing more stealthy and silent.

Just when 'Edogawa Ranpo' pushed open the door, the tone of "To Alice" reverberating in the fitting room suddenly rose, which made the originally gentle melody a bit weird for no reason.

"Let's go." 'Edogawa Ranpo' breathed out lightly, and stepped into the darkness in front of him.

The music in the stereo stopped abruptly, and turned into a soft male voice that had been heard several times in the loudspeaker before "Edogawa Ranpo"——but, unlike the male voice's schadenfreude and joy in the previous few times, this time The male voice at the time showed a kind of inorganic stagnation and weirdness.

"Shusha...Congratulations...you...Congratulations on triggering...Shusha...'Water Park', I wish you a fun...enjoyment...Please-as soon as possible leave."

Stepping out, the familiar darkness struck again, invading every sense of 'Edogawa Ranpo'.He closed his eyes unsurprisingly, waiting for the expected teleportation.

The slightly cool touch licked the exposed skin of 'Edogawa Ranpo', and a sense of pulling followed, but at the last moment when the darkness of 'Edogawa Ranpo' engulfed the senses, 'Edogawa Ranpo' Bu''s wrist suddenly felt a burst of warmth.

——Chuya.......?

........

........

"Welcome to the 'Water Park'. The water park is a special preparation project for the Century Amusement Park... All the amusement facilities and water purification equipment in this park are imported from abroad with a lot of money, whether it is safety performance or water purification capacity. They are all first-class in the industry, please rest assured to play..."

"...the pool water in the 'Water Park' is diluted...rustle...blood—"

There was a "rustling" sound like a tape cassette in the stereo. After a mechanical sound of gears spinning and rewinding, a gentle and moving female voice sounded again in the stereo. She continued to introduce "Water Paradise' everything.

"The pool water in the 'Water Park' adopts a brand-new Chinese herbal medicine formula. When you play and take a shower, you will also enjoy the nourishment of Chinese herbal medicine...If the pool water has a peculiar smell and is light red, it is normal, please rest assured that it is normal Just play and use..."

"For safety reasons, children under 1 meters are not recommended to play in this park. The above are all precautions for visiting this park. I wish you... have a good time~~"

The gentle female voice disappeared, and the water amusement park returned to silence.

......

......

A water park, in a swimming pool filled with water.

Nakahara saw the moment 'Edogawa Ranpo' disappear, subconsciously took a few steps forward and grabbed his wrist.He still remembers 'Edogawa Ranpo' once said that once two people separate, they are likely to be judged successful by the rules and dragged into a special scene.

Zhong Yuanzhong also didn't know that the change at this time was in the 'Edogawa Ranpo', he only thought that his own negligence caused 'Edogawa Ranpo' to fall into a strange and special scene.

That's why he panicked and wanted to hold back the 'Edogawa Ranpo' whose body had begun to disappear-Ranpo's current situation looked very bad, and it would be bad to let him be pulled into the weird scene alone.

'This is where.......? '

Zhong Yuanzhong also woke up from the darkness, a choking feeling of suffocation surged and he opened his eyes suddenly.

Water, water everywhere.

'Gulu Gulu' Zhong Yuanzhong also choked a few mouthfuls of water unpreparedly, he flustered a few times in the pool water, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Zhongyuan Zhong also waved his hands and feet indiscriminately. When he was flustered, his toes were lucky to touch the bottom of the pool. "Wow--!"

Zhong Yuanzhong also quickly adjusted his figure, stepped on the bottom of the pool, and supported the wall of the pool to stand up from the waist-high water.
