"Bang!" There was a harsh cracking sound, and the thick black water was returned to its original owner, and Zhongyuan Zhong also punched heavily on Roshan's body with a force far beyond what his body could erupt. body.
Central Plains also exchanged the loss of consciousness for strength beyond the limits of human beings. At this time, the body has been completely dominated by the desire to destroy: "Hahaha——!"
The thick fat meat was trembling from the beating, and Roshan, who had previously been able to handle it with ease and even had the upper hand, was beaten so helplessly at this time.
The pus was completely pressed into Roshan's body, and the heavy blows with terrifying force again and again made the shock absorption ability of Roshan's flesh useless, piercing through!Pierce!Keep piercing!
"Roar!" The monster made up of Roshan let out a scream of grief, which was no longer sharp and high-spirited before, but a painful cry.
Its repair ability is still working, but under the fierce offensive of the Central Plains, which has never stopped but has become more and more courageous, for the first time, there has been a decadent trend that the speed of repair cannot keep up with the degree of damage.
"Bang bang bang!!" Zhongye smashed through the thick ground again and again, smashing the fat monster into a puddle of mud, and the thick black swollen water was completely blown away by Zhongyuan Zhongye'噗嗤''噗嗤' The ground splashed around, sizzling and corroding deep pits one after another on the raised soil around it, which looked extremely terrifying.
As Chuya Nakahara kept moving, the pus was also spraying out in an unbelievable extent. With Chuya Nakahara's ability, he didn't care, and he faced the difficulties unabated.
On the contrary, he has been worrying that the 'Edogawa Ranpo' wandering in the distance has suffered disaster. One person and one monster fight without restraint, and the splash of pus will inevitably spread to the area where he is.
Although the brain has completely predicted the trajectory of the flying pus, the body of 'Edogawa Ranpo' who has not been trained much has not been able to avoid it in time. 'Edogawa Ranpo' only had time to roll over on the spot, a large piece of bright red flesh was corroded on the tail, and it was steaming black, but there was no serious problem in other places.
"Hiss... the external organs still feel pain..." The burning tingling sensation from the tail made 'Edogawa Ranpo' frowned fiercely: ". ...I really want to just cut it off...."
Hiding behind a paint bucket that had been corroded into a huge hollow, 'Edogawa Ranpo' carefully fished out his own tail and checked it: probably because of the corrosive liquid, only a small part of the corroded part remained. In oozing blood, most of the others showed a burnt red-black color, as if necrotic.
But fortunately, it seems that the corrosion is limited.
'Edogawa Ranpo' took a look at the bald hair, he didn't continue to deteriorate the wound, hesitated again and again, he still didn't choose the swimming pool water to wash the corrosive liquid.
I don’t know how many condiments have been added to the pool water and the mucus sprayed out by Roshan. It’s really hard to say which one is more dangerous...
'Edogawa Ranpo' blew his tail, which was missing a piece of hair, distressedly, and he reached out and took the tail that was trembling from the pain into his arms.'Edogawa Ranpo' who was hiding behind the can of paint sneaked out his head, secretly observing the battle between Nakahara Chuya and Roshan.
Hmm... As expected of Mafia's strongest 'gravity user', even the resentment collection that is on the verge of awakening is not his opponent in the 'dirty' state......
Sure enough, no matter which world it is, Lord Ranpo's partner is always so powerful!
Seeing that the monsters have been gradually suppressed by the maddened Central Plains and are at a disadvantage, 'Edogawa Ranpo' breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help letting go: "Chuya is still as reliable as ever. …”
However........'Edogawa Ranpo''s line of sight froze when it touched the blood oozing from the cracks on Nakahara Chuya's body. Although it seemed that it would be no problem to deal with this monster, but ......The situation in Zhongye, Central Plains is not very optimistic.
If this continues, when the monster dies, it will be Zhongye's turn next.
'Edogawa Ranpo' couldn't help but look a bit ugly: "Damn it, why hasn't that bastard Dazai come over yet!"
The guy who always has the most vigilant attitude towards everything around him, after he repeatedly left so many doubts and clues...
Is it possible... Osamu Dazai, who is as curious as a cat, can really bear it, why don't you come and find out?
Come on, didn't he always care about Fukuzawa Yukichi and Yokohama's safety? !
Osamu Dazai......
The scene of Dazai Osamu's belated arrival last time unexpectedly resurfaced in the mind of 'Edogawa Ranpo'.
"Edogawa Ranpo" watched Chuya Nakahara's situation getting out of control, Mr. Criminal Consultant almost bald his poor tail: You guy this time..... had better not Drop the chain again!
Besides.......'Edogawa Ranpo' thought of another high-spirited Edogawa Ranpo. If it was him....... would definitely find the problem.
Thinking about it, Mr. Criminal Consultant's heart, which was terrified by the flooding of memories, inexplicably calmed down a little.
Definitely, this time... definitely in time!
.......
.......
On the other side, ten minutes ago.
Edogawa Ranpo and Osamu Dazai saw the problem of the doll parade at a glance.Combined with the description of the rules of the doll parade in the pamphlet, the two agreed on a plan to help each other out of the illusion and take turns to find out.
In this way, the two of you, you and me for a while, swiped the doll parade like a card bug.
"I understand......"
After watching the last desperate memory of "Edogawa Ranpo", when Edogawa Ranpo was pulled out by Osamu Dazai, his eyelashes were trembling.
"Mr. Ranpo? Are you okay?" Dazai Osamu did not immediately enter the vacant seat of the doll parade, but shook his hand in front of Edogawa Ranpo with a little worry: "...you What do you see?"
"There is no time for Dazai." Edogawa Ranpo did not answer Dazai Osamu's question, as if he had thought of something extremely serious, his expression became unprecedentedly solemn.
'Edogawa Ranpo' pulled Osamu Dazai's sleeve and ran in one direction: "We must rush to the water park immediately!"
"Huh???" Osamu Dazai was staggered by Edogawa Ranpo, and was forced to follow him for two steps: "But—Mr. Ranpo...this is not the direction to go to the boutique."
"Then hurry up and lead the way," Edogawa Ranbu stopped the car suddenly, "If you don't want to see the other me in an accident, Chuya...... If your former partner dies, then act quickly a little!"
"What?" The smile on Osamu Dazai's face faded a lot.Although I didn't see the memory of the 'Edogawa Ranpo' about the Great War, but combined with Edogawa Ranpo's words, Osamu Dazai put everything together after a little thought: 'I see... . So at that time, "No Place in the World" still had this meaning?That's why I only gave the book to him and Mr. Ranpo-san at that time...'
Having figured everything out, Osamu Dazai stomped anxiously, and Edogawa Ranpo walked quickly in the direction he was running just now: "Let's go!"
Edogawa was stunned: "Didn't you say that this is not the way to the fashion store?"
"That's right," Osamu Dazai continued to lead the way, "But there is a haunted house nearby."
Dazai Osamu asked with a smile: "I think it's about this time... Even if the cabinet is a little narrower and it's a little uncomfortable to get into, Mr. Ranpo probably won't care, right?"
Edogawa puffed his cheeks in disorder: "Lead the way."
......
......
"Huh—" When he was teleported out of the narrow cabinet of the haunted house, Osamu Dazai felt that his limbs, which were squeezed a bit uncomfortable, stretched out.
However, in the next second, he was not very comfortable: the overflowing pool flooded his mouth and nose unpreparedly, and even Osamu Dazai, who was experienced in diving, choked several saliva unexpectedly.
"Wow——" Before Osamu Dazai had time to react, he felt a slightly warm hand grabbing the back of his neck, and before he could care about struggling, he was hugged by someone. Like a kitten, he grabbed the back of his neck and pulled his head out of the water: "...Mr. Ranbu?"
Water drops kept falling from Osamu Dazai's eyelashes. He blinked before he could see clearly the 'Edogawa Ranpo' dressed in black hands|party costumes in front of him: "Eh? Your ears are good——"
"No time, Dazai!"
It was the same line again, and it was Edogawa Ranpo again. Facing the pale "Edogawa Ranpo", Dazai Osamu's choking head had a rare short-circuit for a moment: " ......What?"
'Edogawa Ranpo' couldn't pull Osamu Dazai, who was heavy in the water, he grabbed his neck and forced his head to look in the direction of Chuya Nakahara. 'Edogawa Ranpo' was about to say something, but before he could speak, he heard himself 'say': "Chuya has already finished fighting the boss, if you don't go there, Mr. Cadre will suffer."
The tail behind him was touched quickly, 'Edogawa Ranpo' looked back furiously, and saw a face exactly like his own, only then did he realize that the person who spoke just now was not him, but someone else An Edogawa Ranpo.
"Hurry up, Dazai, don't let us down again."
Edogawa Ranpo was not guilty of being discovered by the other self, he even held the arm of the other self in a grandiose manner, tentatively eager to try the ear protruding from the top of the other self.
Osamu Dazai climbed to the bank and coughed up the water without wasting any more time.
"...Since Mr. Ranpo said so," Osamu Dazai walked towards Zhongyuan, who had completely crushed Roshan, and was frantically demolishing the buildings of the paradise at this time: "Then I can only save Down with that little dwarf."
'Edogawa Ranpo' looked at the back of what was once known as the 'enemy' and felt a little complicated in his heart. A long time ago, he sneered at the occasional 'bad kindness' of Fukuzawa Yukichi and Dazai Osamu.
However, at this moment, he seemed to be relieved: when he got the affirmative answer from the other party, he seemed to be completely relaxed - it was Dazai, that guy, if he promised, he would definitely do it.
Maybe it's because of the several times of cooperation between enemies and friends in the past, when seeing Osamu Dazai, 'Edogawa Ranpo' always has such thoughts inexplicably.
and so--
"I'm counting on you, Dazai." The criminal consultant who only knew how to kill before said softly.
The second time I asked for help from someone I was not used to, and the other party still came without hesitation, and 'Edogawa Ranpo' felt mixed feelings for a while.
Armed Forces...
What kind of place is that.......?
However, the complex emotions in 'Edogawa Ranpo' didn't last long, because a hand suddenly appeared on his head—his ears were pinched.
"Wow! Ranpo-sama is so handsome with furry ears!" 'Edogawa Ranpo' back was stiff, and the thoughts of another self in his ear continued: "It feels great too! It’s hot, but even if you rub it, it will become hot again?”
'Edogawa Ranpo' blushed to the base of his neck, and he couldn't bear it, and he had to "crack" another hand that was aggressive.
"Edogawa Ranpo" hugged his bald tail vigilantly, and walked towards the center of the ruins: "Ranpo! Don't go too far."
"Hey? Why?" Edogawa blinked his bright green eyes in disorder, and the non-existent tail flew up behind him. He looked at his other self and said, "If I have ears and a tail, it must be very Willing to play with you, why don't you let me touch it?"
'Edogawa Ranpo' blushed, and the overly vivid touch of the ear was still on it, he hugged his furry tail tightly, and walked fast: "Because you are too much...... "
Edogawa Ranpo's eyes lit up: "Then Ranpo-sama should be gentler..."
"..." 'Edogawa Ranpo' hesitated for a moment in silence.
"Okay!" Edogawa Ranbu immediately cheered, and he went to touch his other round ear again in a fuss.
"No! No—you get up!"
.......
.......
"Dazai......?" Nakahara Chuya's consciousness slowly recovered like a tide, he opened his eyes and saw Dazai who was looking at him, and turned his head slightly.
Nakahara Nakaya saw the two Edogawa Ranpo who were sitting next to him one after the other, and he immediately relaxed, "...has it been resolved?"
"Well," Osamu Dazai just nodded, smiling and wanting to tease Nakahara Chuya, who was in a mess, when he was interrupted by 'Edogawa Ranpo' who was fighting Edogawa Ranpo's ear and tail defense: "Dazai, can you take Ranpo to the slide first. I have something to say to Chuya."
"I do not want!"
Edogawa Ranpo, who was still pressing on the other self, suddenly became unhappy, grabbed 'Edogawa Ranpo' by the tail, and retorted, "Don't whisper behind Ranpo-sama's back!"
"——You let go," seeing Edogawa Ranpo angrily watching him not let go, 'Edogawa Ranpo' hesitated and pushed him, and said in a low voice: "You are obedient and I will let you touch it later." Touch your ears."
"Huh?" Edogawa Ranpo opened his emerald green eyes to look at his other self, and Mr. Criminal Advisor pushed him again without any guilt: "Get up quickly."
A certain feeling of uncertainty flashed in Edogawa Ranpo's heart, he hesitated for a moment and let go of his hand, and stood up reluctantly: "Okay then, Dazai, let's go."
"Ah?" Osamu Dazai, who had no right to speak, smiled helplessly, got up as he said, and walked a little further with Edogawa Ranpo: "Okay, okay."
"Ranpo..." Nakahara Chuya's consciousness was a little fuzzy. At this time, he was leaning against the paint bucket, looking at the 'Edogawa Ranpo' who was sitting cross-legged beside him. Passed out: "What's wrong?"
Mr. Consultant was silent for a moment, Nakahara Chuya almost couldn't bear it anymore and fainted before he heard 'Edogawa Ranpo' speak slowly.
"...I'm not your qualified partner, Chuya."
The always proud consultant bowed his head for the first time.He seemed to be talking to the middle and also seemed to be talking to someone else. The tone of 'Edogawa Ranpo' was a bit relieved and mixed with unwillingness: "...If Dazai was your partner, you wouldn't die at all."
What are you talking... stupid?
Zhong Yuanzhong also opened his mouth to say something, but the increasingly raging drowsiness licked his nerves, making him unable to utter a word.
Nakahara Chuya's vision gradually blurred, and the voice coming from his ear became more and more difficult to hear.
random steps.......
Mr. Criminal Consultant lowered his head and looked at Nakahara Nakahara, whose consciousness was gradually blurring, and said in a low voice: "Do you know why you sent me to deal with these things?"
......why?
Zhong Yuanzhong, who was on the verge of coma, couldn't ask this sentence, but Mr. Criminal Advisor continued to speak on his own.
"Because my world has faced such a collapse before, and then..." 'Edogawa Ranpo' lowered his eyelids: "Someone solved it with his own hands...."
"Now it's my turn."
Roshan, which had been glued into minced meat, had turned into a puddle of black pus at some point, and the pus gradually turned into a translucent black mist, which hovered and condensed again when no one was aware of it. .
What's the meaning?Isn't the matter settled? !
Zhong Yuanzhong was also shocked in his heart, he wanted to ask, but he couldn't bear the double fatigue of body and spirit, he closed his eyes uncontrollably, and passed out in a deep coma.
'Edogawa Ranpo' tidied Nakahara Chuya's messy hair, and whispered: "Goodbye, Chuya."
After thinking about it, he added another sentence.
"Thank you."
I've been very, very happy all this time, thank you for being my friend.
In also.
.......
.......
Dazai Osamu was originally talking with Edogawa Ranpo about the follow-up matters after returning to the detective agency.But watching 'Edogawa Ranpo' stand up and walk towards the ruins in the distance, a sense of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart.
Wait...something seems to have been overlooked by him.
Edogawa Ranpo beside him obviously noticed something was wrong, and suddenly wanted to rush towards another self.
Dazai Osamu remembered the words of "Edogawa Ranpo" earlier, he grabbed Edogawa Ranpo's wrist suddenly: "Don't go to Mr. Ranpo!"
"Let Dazai go!" Edogawa Ranpo suddenly turned his head and stared at him fiercely. It was a look Dazai had never seen on Edogawa Ranpo: "You—"
Osamu Dazai made a knife in his hand, and the body of Edogawa Ranpo, who was still aggressive just now, collapsed limply. He hugged the body of Edogawa Ranpo who slipped down, so that he would not fall to the ground: "I'm sorry, Ranpo gentlemen......."
Osamu Dazai sighed silently, and his eyes fell on 'Edogawa Ranpo' who was standing in the middle of the ruins: "If this is really the case, even if I let you go... it will only be a waste It's just time."
'Edogawa Ranpo' used to hate the people in the armed forces office. Apart from the standpoint, what he hated even more was that the other party was obviously a strong man with abilities beyond ordinary people, but he always compromised or even got hurt in order to protect the weak.
why?
The strong already have the right to enjoy everything, and the weak are just waste that doesn't even need to exist if they don't have the ability.
He used to firmly believe that the so-called weak...... what value is worth protecting?
They are not even qualified to be put on the chessboard by him.
'Edogawa Ranpo' didn't understand it and didn't bother to understand it before, but it's different now.
In the Central Plains, when he fought Weird again and again, how could he...not be a weakling who couldn't be more cumbersome?
There is a faint whimpering sound at the feet, and the black mist of resentment is gradually thickening. They are integrated in the Century Amusement Park-they are produced because of the existence of the Century Amusement Park, and the Century Amusement Park is 'resurrected' because of them.
Roshan was indeed eliminated in the Central Plains, but it was not a real entity formed by the gathering and condensation of resentments. As long as the resentments did not dissipate, they could continue to reunite to form new entities.
This eerie amusement park clings to them and nourishes them at the same time.
Only by resolving these lingering resentments can everything in front of me... be able to truly and completely disappear.
'Edogawa Ranpo' glanced at Dazai Osamu who had no smile on his face and Edogawa Ranpo who fainted beside him, he let out a light breath and closed his eyes.
"Warning: It is detected that the body will use the sealed ability 'Phantom Santo'. The use of this ability will continue to cause irreversible damage to 'Edogawa Ranpo'. Are you sure to use this ability?"
The prompt sound of the work system echoed in the ears of 'Edogawa Ranpo', as if he had expected it, his expression did not change at all: "Confirm. '
"Ability unlocked (disabled): Phantom City Lord, I wish you success in your work."
The system notification sound in his ears disappeared, and 'Edogawa Ranpo' obviously closed his eyes, but there seemed to be one bright spot after another in his vision, and he carefully avoided the symbols symbolizing Osamu Dazai and Edogawa Ranpo. Bu and others are the small bright spots, and he pulls all the other bright spots into the fantasy dream he weaves in one go.
[Anyway, this is just a short life in the illusory floating world, no matter what this life is pinned on, the difference is not big. ]
——[Different Ability: Phantom City Lord]
......
......
This is Kota's first time at an amusement park.
Today is his ninth birthday, and his divorced parents got together after a long absence and took him to the amusement park.
"Xingta is a little birthday star, you can play whatever you want." The father who hadn't seen him for a long time took Xingta's hand, he lifted Xingta up, and let him sit on his shoulder and look at the crowded crowd in the distance.And my mother went to buy the ice cream that Kota wanted to eat: "I, I want to see the big lion and the red-nosed clown!"
"Hahaha, okay, then Dad will take Xingta to see, okay?" Dad supported Xingta, dragging him like playing a horse riding game with him when he was a child, talking to him happily.
When Kota talks to the teacher, his parents always say that when he was a child, the teacher would usually smile and say, "Kuta, you are still a child now, how can you say it was a child?" '
Kota would always retort: 'It was when I was a child! '
He thought to himself that his parents would only be together when he was young, and now that he grew up, his parents would be separated.
"Xingta stay here obediently first, okay?" Just as he was happy, Xingta was suddenly put on the ground by his father: "Daddy?"
"Mom can't seem to find us," Dad pointed at the phone in his hand and said, "I'll pick her up, Xingtai stands here obediently and waits for Mom and Dad to come back, don't run around, okay?"
"I know, Dad!" Kota, who was already an older child, agreed loudly.
"Xingtai is the most obedient." Dad said with emotion, touched his head, gave him a few more words of advice, and then disappeared into the crowd.
The sun at noon was very hot, and Kota nestled in the shade of the trees, looking around and shaking his head, always thinking that Mom and Dad would appear from somewhere in the next second.
But no.
"Why are you here alone?" The red-nosed clown holding a balloon suddenly appeared.
Xing Tai hesitated to look at the smiling face on the clown's face: "I'm waiting for Mom and Dad."
"That's it, then I'll take you to find Mom and Dad." The clown handed the beautiful animal balloon in his hand to Xingta who was obviously very interested: "If there are too many people, they may get lost and find you of."
"But Mom and Dad say you can't walk with strangers, and—"
"I'm not someone else, Xingta." The clown smiled and said, "I'm a staff member of the park. Didn't your parents tell you? If you accidentally get lost, ask the staff to help broadcast it, so that your parents can find you easily." ah?"
Kota nodded hesitantly, and reached out to take the clown's balloon.
The moment he took the balloon, Xingta only felt a strong sadness and pain sweeping through his heart, and every cell in the brain was agitating and clamoring for him to run quickly.
However, Xingtai was led along by the clown in a daze. Why did he run?
.......
It has been three years since Mieko and her boyfriend have been in love, and the elm head who doesn't know how to have sex and is always annoying has given her a very desirable anniversary gift: a pair of tickets to Century Amusement Park.
This is the place where Mieko dated her boyfriend Jiaxiong for the first time.
She has never been as good at dressing herself as her best friend, so she asked her best friend to help her choose a dress the day before the date.
'Men always want their girlfriends to dress better, so that they will have more face when they take them out. At that time, my best friend was holding hot pants and short sleeves, and said swearingly: "Mieko, you usually dress too conservatively. If you always wear old-fashioned long skirts, boys may lose interest." '
'Really? Mieko asked nervously, but she got a firm nod from her best friend: "Trust me." '
'Then...then I will dress more stylishly in the future. '
Mieko was wearing clothes she was not used to, and came to the amusement park to have a date with Jiaxiong nervously.
"Why are you dressed like this?" Jiaxiong asked her with a frown in casual clothes, but he was not as excited and happy as Mieko imagined.
"Don't you like it?" Mieko, who mustered up the courage to change herself for her boyfriend for the first time, suddenly felt aggrieved.
"I don't like it." Jiaxiong glanced at the passers-by, as if he felt a little embarrassed: "It's just that it's inconvenient in a place like an amusement park."
"Didn't you always like to wear long skirts? Why do you suddenly wear them like this?" Although Jiaxiong said that he didn't hate it, Mieko could hear the meaning behind his words.
He didn't like Mieko dressed like this.
"Then I'll replace it." Mieko lowered her head and said with red eyes.
"How do you—?"
Mieko shook off the hand that Jiaxiong wanted to reach out to hold her, and walked straight into the fashion store next to her: "You are not allowed to follow!"
I don't know why, but the moment Mieko stepped into the fashion store, the feeling of grievance and sourness just now was suddenly overwhelmed by despair and regret that appeared without warning.
Why...why do you feel so sick all of a sudden?
.......
Faces that could not be seen in the black mist became more and more horrifying because of the awakening of painful memories. The voices of men and women, either childish or sharp, overlapped and let out meaningless howls of pain.
The bloodstains that bloomed from time to time on the face of 'Edogawa Ranpo' had turned into gaps emitting light white light at some point, and the gaps were faintly expanding. 'Edogawa Ranpo' continued to weave fantasy unmoved.
.......
"Takano Kota's parents, please come to the carousel after hearing the broadcast. Your child Kono Kota is waiting for you here." The sound of the loudspeaker suddenly sounded, and Koya Kota, who was in a daze, was shocked. He opened his eyes He found that the parents who had come to him at some point were surrounding him with concern and greeting him.
"Dad... Mom?"
"Xingta, I'm glad I found you. You scared my mother to death, you know?" The gentle woman hugged Kota Xingta who was still empty in her heart, and the tears in her eyes fell down at once.
"Rideo, don't cry, it's all right..." Xingta's father hurriedly squatted aside and handed a tissue to the mother who suddenly cried: "Don't be sad, don't scare the child again."
"What are you talking about!" Xingta's mother snatched the tissue from her father and wiped it herself: "If you really lose Xingta, don't even think about remarrying!"
"I was wrong, I was really wrong, this time I did not do well..."
"My Xingta..." Mom ignored the apologetic father and just hugged him vigorously, as if she wanted to hold Xingta in her arms forever.
Dad, Mom...
Being hugged tightly by her mother, the empty feeling in Kota's heart dissipated instantly.
He stretched out his arms cautiously to hug his mother, and rubbed against her arms affectionately.
In the black mist, a painful and distorted face suddenly closed its eyes, and disappeared like melting snow.
'Mother......'
.......
.......
When Mieko woke up from extreme anger, nausea, and trembling emotions, she opened her eyes and saw herself in the mirror in a long white dress.
She pursed her lips helplessly, hastily unplugged the plug in the fitting room, opened the door and trotted downstairs.
Before going downstairs, Mieko saw Jiaxiong sitting among the crowd like a log.
"Why did you come in?" Mieko subconsciously asked with a puffy face, "Didn't I tell you to stay outside?"
"I'm sorry," Jiaxiong apologized stiffly like every time she got angry, "Mikeko, I should have made it clearer."
"What?" Mieko asked.
"You look good in whatever you wear, but...don't force yourself for me, change your own preferences...I'm sorry, I...I like Mieko who likes to wear long skirts just as much as I did just now of you."
"You bastard!" Mieko blushed instantly, and she could feel the kind eyes from other girls in the shop.The lingering gloom in Mieko's heart dissipated instantly, and she pushed Jiaxiong who wanted to continue apologizing and explaining: "Hurry up, you idiot!"
Another face slowly dissipated in the black mist...
.......
The faces in the black mist dissipated one by one, and the stench around them seemed to be weakening accordingly.
'Edogawa Ranpo' can feel the gradual fading of resentment.
He has no ability to change the past that has happened, but...he can do his best to give these grievances who have been tortured and died in vain, a false...but sweet dream.
While the dreams were successfully woven one by one, 'Edogawa Ranpo' vaguely felt that his body was collapsing a little bit.
He suddenly felt a little relieved, because of what...he couldn't explain it at all.
Mr. Criminal Consultant, except that a small part of his life in the first part of his life grew up in love and protection, he never enjoyed such peace and happiness in his later life.
Whether he became a test subject or was picked up by Mori Ogai, but he suffered from bulimia because he was not perfect, and finally killed Nakahara Nakaya......
His life was too much failure and imperfection.
'Edogawa Ranpo' used to hate ordinary people, what did he think ordinary people deserve to protect?They may be weak and ordinary, but correspondingly, even their pain is trivial and ordinary, which no one else can have if they want to have it.
What on earth do they have to protect?
'Edogawa Ranpo' also doesn't think he'll be the one to save others one day.
He was exhausted enough to keep himself alive.
But now, he came to this world and stood here.
Since when did this mood change?
Was Zhongyuan Zhongye resolutely blocking him behind?
Was it Osamu Dazai who came forward without fear of danger when he received the call for help from his opponent?
Is it Fukuzawa Yukichi who was seriously injured but still insisted on drawing his sword, standing in front of him and Dazai, and bringing him, who was once an enemy, under the umbrella of protection?
Maybe....neither.
Consciousness gradually collapsed, 'Edogawa Ranpo' took one last look at the world he had saved, and fell into a deep sleep.
I know the world is as fleeting as dew,
however,
however.
.......
.......
In the light rain all over the sky, the bright red faded like a tide, revealing a dark and slightly bright starry sky.
The treacherous atmosphere in the water park faded away like a tide in an instant.
The surrounding scenery distorted, blurred and dissipated, leaving only a weathered ruin.
All the stories that were left here have disappeared.
The night wind by the sea blew coolly over Osamu Dazai's cheeks, and he found that the wind carried a trace of late night that was not found in the strange world.
Central Plains also exchanged the loss of consciousness for strength beyond the limits of human beings. At this time, the body has been completely dominated by the desire to destroy: "Hahaha——!"
The thick fat meat was trembling from the beating, and Roshan, who had previously been able to handle it with ease and even had the upper hand, was beaten so helplessly at this time.
The pus was completely pressed into Roshan's body, and the heavy blows with terrifying force again and again made the shock absorption ability of Roshan's flesh useless, piercing through!Pierce!Keep piercing!
"Roar!" The monster made up of Roshan let out a scream of grief, which was no longer sharp and high-spirited before, but a painful cry.
Its repair ability is still working, but under the fierce offensive of the Central Plains, which has never stopped but has become more and more courageous, for the first time, there has been a decadent trend that the speed of repair cannot keep up with the degree of damage.
"Bang bang bang!!" Zhongye smashed through the thick ground again and again, smashing the fat monster into a puddle of mud, and the thick black swollen water was completely blown away by Zhongyuan Zhongye'噗嗤''噗嗤' The ground splashed around, sizzling and corroding deep pits one after another on the raised soil around it, which looked extremely terrifying.
As Chuya Nakahara kept moving, the pus was also spraying out in an unbelievable extent. With Chuya Nakahara's ability, he didn't care, and he faced the difficulties unabated.
On the contrary, he has been worrying that the 'Edogawa Ranpo' wandering in the distance has suffered disaster. One person and one monster fight without restraint, and the splash of pus will inevitably spread to the area where he is.
Although the brain has completely predicted the trajectory of the flying pus, the body of 'Edogawa Ranpo' who has not been trained much has not been able to avoid it in time. 'Edogawa Ranpo' only had time to roll over on the spot, a large piece of bright red flesh was corroded on the tail, and it was steaming black, but there was no serious problem in other places.
"Hiss... the external organs still feel pain..." The burning tingling sensation from the tail made 'Edogawa Ranpo' frowned fiercely: ". ...I really want to just cut it off...."
Hiding behind a paint bucket that had been corroded into a huge hollow, 'Edogawa Ranpo' carefully fished out his own tail and checked it: probably because of the corrosive liquid, only a small part of the corroded part remained. In oozing blood, most of the others showed a burnt red-black color, as if necrotic.
But fortunately, it seems that the corrosion is limited.
'Edogawa Ranpo' took a look at the bald hair, he didn't continue to deteriorate the wound, hesitated again and again, he still didn't choose the swimming pool water to wash the corrosive liquid.
I don’t know how many condiments have been added to the pool water and the mucus sprayed out by Roshan. It’s really hard to say which one is more dangerous...
'Edogawa Ranpo' blew his tail, which was missing a piece of hair, distressedly, and he reached out and took the tail that was trembling from the pain into his arms.'Edogawa Ranpo' who was hiding behind the can of paint sneaked out his head, secretly observing the battle between Nakahara Chuya and Roshan.
Hmm... As expected of Mafia's strongest 'gravity user', even the resentment collection that is on the verge of awakening is not his opponent in the 'dirty' state......
Sure enough, no matter which world it is, Lord Ranpo's partner is always so powerful!
Seeing that the monsters have been gradually suppressed by the maddened Central Plains and are at a disadvantage, 'Edogawa Ranpo' breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help letting go: "Chuya is still as reliable as ever. …”
However........'Edogawa Ranpo''s line of sight froze when it touched the blood oozing from the cracks on Nakahara Chuya's body. Although it seemed that it would be no problem to deal with this monster, but ......The situation in Zhongye, Central Plains is not very optimistic.
If this continues, when the monster dies, it will be Zhongye's turn next.
'Edogawa Ranpo' couldn't help but look a bit ugly: "Damn it, why hasn't that bastard Dazai come over yet!"
The guy who always has the most vigilant attitude towards everything around him, after he repeatedly left so many doubts and clues...
Is it possible... Osamu Dazai, who is as curious as a cat, can really bear it, why don't you come and find out?
Come on, didn't he always care about Fukuzawa Yukichi and Yokohama's safety? !
Osamu Dazai......
The scene of Dazai Osamu's belated arrival last time unexpectedly resurfaced in the mind of 'Edogawa Ranpo'.
"Edogawa Ranpo" watched Chuya Nakahara's situation getting out of control, Mr. Criminal Consultant almost bald his poor tail: You guy this time..... had better not Drop the chain again!
Besides.......'Edogawa Ranpo' thought of another high-spirited Edogawa Ranpo. If it was him....... would definitely find the problem.
Thinking about it, Mr. Criminal Consultant's heart, which was terrified by the flooding of memories, inexplicably calmed down a little.
Definitely, this time... definitely in time!
.......
.......
On the other side, ten minutes ago.
Edogawa Ranpo and Osamu Dazai saw the problem of the doll parade at a glance.Combined with the description of the rules of the doll parade in the pamphlet, the two agreed on a plan to help each other out of the illusion and take turns to find out.
In this way, the two of you, you and me for a while, swiped the doll parade like a card bug.
"I understand......"
After watching the last desperate memory of "Edogawa Ranpo", when Edogawa Ranpo was pulled out by Osamu Dazai, his eyelashes were trembling.
"Mr. Ranpo? Are you okay?" Dazai Osamu did not immediately enter the vacant seat of the doll parade, but shook his hand in front of Edogawa Ranpo with a little worry: "...you What do you see?"
"There is no time for Dazai." Edogawa Ranpo did not answer Dazai Osamu's question, as if he had thought of something extremely serious, his expression became unprecedentedly solemn.
'Edogawa Ranpo' pulled Osamu Dazai's sleeve and ran in one direction: "We must rush to the water park immediately!"
"Huh???" Osamu Dazai was staggered by Edogawa Ranpo, and was forced to follow him for two steps: "But—Mr. Ranpo...this is not the direction to go to the boutique."
"Then hurry up and lead the way," Edogawa Ranbu stopped the car suddenly, "If you don't want to see the other me in an accident, Chuya...... If your former partner dies, then act quickly a little!"
"What?" The smile on Osamu Dazai's face faded a lot.Although I didn't see the memory of the 'Edogawa Ranpo' about the Great War, but combined with Edogawa Ranpo's words, Osamu Dazai put everything together after a little thought: 'I see... . So at that time, "No Place in the World" still had this meaning?That's why I only gave the book to him and Mr. Ranpo-san at that time...'
Having figured everything out, Osamu Dazai stomped anxiously, and Edogawa Ranpo walked quickly in the direction he was running just now: "Let's go!"
Edogawa was stunned: "Didn't you say that this is not the way to the fashion store?"
"That's right," Osamu Dazai continued to lead the way, "But there is a haunted house nearby."
Dazai Osamu asked with a smile: "I think it's about this time... Even if the cabinet is a little narrower and it's a little uncomfortable to get into, Mr. Ranpo probably won't care, right?"
Edogawa puffed his cheeks in disorder: "Lead the way."
......
......
"Huh—" When he was teleported out of the narrow cabinet of the haunted house, Osamu Dazai felt that his limbs, which were squeezed a bit uncomfortable, stretched out.
However, in the next second, he was not very comfortable: the overflowing pool flooded his mouth and nose unpreparedly, and even Osamu Dazai, who was experienced in diving, choked several saliva unexpectedly.
"Wow——" Before Osamu Dazai had time to react, he felt a slightly warm hand grabbing the back of his neck, and before he could care about struggling, he was hugged by someone. Like a kitten, he grabbed the back of his neck and pulled his head out of the water: "...Mr. Ranbu?"
Water drops kept falling from Osamu Dazai's eyelashes. He blinked before he could see clearly the 'Edogawa Ranpo' dressed in black hands|party costumes in front of him: "Eh? Your ears are good——"
"No time, Dazai!"
It was the same line again, and it was Edogawa Ranpo again. Facing the pale "Edogawa Ranpo", Dazai Osamu's choking head had a rare short-circuit for a moment: " ......What?"
'Edogawa Ranpo' couldn't pull Osamu Dazai, who was heavy in the water, he grabbed his neck and forced his head to look in the direction of Chuya Nakahara. 'Edogawa Ranpo' was about to say something, but before he could speak, he heard himself 'say': "Chuya has already finished fighting the boss, if you don't go there, Mr. Cadre will suffer."
The tail behind him was touched quickly, 'Edogawa Ranpo' looked back furiously, and saw a face exactly like his own, only then did he realize that the person who spoke just now was not him, but someone else An Edogawa Ranpo.
"Hurry up, Dazai, don't let us down again."
Edogawa Ranpo was not guilty of being discovered by the other self, he even held the arm of the other self in a grandiose manner, tentatively eager to try the ear protruding from the top of the other self.
Osamu Dazai climbed to the bank and coughed up the water without wasting any more time.
"...Since Mr. Ranpo said so," Osamu Dazai walked towards Zhongyuan, who had completely crushed Roshan, and was frantically demolishing the buildings of the paradise at this time: "Then I can only save Down with that little dwarf."
'Edogawa Ranpo' looked at the back of what was once known as the 'enemy' and felt a little complicated in his heart. A long time ago, he sneered at the occasional 'bad kindness' of Fukuzawa Yukichi and Dazai Osamu.
However, at this moment, he seemed to be relieved: when he got the affirmative answer from the other party, he seemed to be completely relaxed - it was Dazai, that guy, if he promised, he would definitely do it.
Maybe it's because of the several times of cooperation between enemies and friends in the past, when seeing Osamu Dazai, 'Edogawa Ranpo' always has such thoughts inexplicably.
and so--
"I'm counting on you, Dazai." The criminal consultant who only knew how to kill before said softly.
The second time I asked for help from someone I was not used to, and the other party still came without hesitation, and 'Edogawa Ranpo' felt mixed feelings for a while.
Armed Forces...
What kind of place is that.......?
However, the complex emotions in 'Edogawa Ranpo' didn't last long, because a hand suddenly appeared on his head—his ears were pinched.
"Wow! Ranpo-sama is so handsome with furry ears!" 'Edogawa Ranpo' back was stiff, and the thoughts of another self in his ear continued: "It feels great too! It’s hot, but even if you rub it, it will become hot again?”
'Edogawa Ranpo' blushed to the base of his neck, and he couldn't bear it, and he had to "crack" another hand that was aggressive.
"Edogawa Ranpo" hugged his bald tail vigilantly, and walked towards the center of the ruins: "Ranpo! Don't go too far."
"Hey? Why?" Edogawa blinked his bright green eyes in disorder, and the non-existent tail flew up behind him. He looked at his other self and said, "If I have ears and a tail, it must be very Willing to play with you, why don't you let me touch it?"
'Edogawa Ranpo' blushed, and the overly vivid touch of the ear was still on it, he hugged his furry tail tightly, and walked fast: "Because you are too much...... "
Edogawa Ranpo's eyes lit up: "Then Ranpo-sama should be gentler..."
"..." 'Edogawa Ranpo' hesitated for a moment in silence.
"Okay!" Edogawa Ranbu immediately cheered, and he went to touch his other round ear again in a fuss.
"No! No—you get up!"
.......
.......
"Dazai......?" Nakahara Chuya's consciousness slowly recovered like a tide, he opened his eyes and saw Dazai who was looking at him, and turned his head slightly.
Nakahara Nakaya saw the two Edogawa Ranpo who were sitting next to him one after the other, and he immediately relaxed, "...has it been resolved?"
"Well," Osamu Dazai just nodded, smiling and wanting to tease Nakahara Chuya, who was in a mess, when he was interrupted by 'Edogawa Ranpo' who was fighting Edogawa Ranpo's ear and tail defense: "Dazai, can you take Ranpo to the slide first. I have something to say to Chuya."
"I do not want!"
Edogawa Ranpo, who was still pressing on the other self, suddenly became unhappy, grabbed 'Edogawa Ranpo' by the tail, and retorted, "Don't whisper behind Ranpo-sama's back!"
"——You let go," seeing Edogawa Ranpo angrily watching him not let go, 'Edogawa Ranpo' hesitated and pushed him, and said in a low voice: "You are obedient and I will let you touch it later." Touch your ears."
"Huh?" Edogawa Ranpo opened his emerald green eyes to look at his other self, and Mr. Criminal Advisor pushed him again without any guilt: "Get up quickly."
A certain feeling of uncertainty flashed in Edogawa Ranpo's heart, he hesitated for a moment and let go of his hand, and stood up reluctantly: "Okay then, Dazai, let's go."
"Ah?" Osamu Dazai, who had no right to speak, smiled helplessly, got up as he said, and walked a little further with Edogawa Ranpo: "Okay, okay."
"Ranpo..." Nakahara Chuya's consciousness was a little fuzzy. At this time, he was leaning against the paint bucket, looking at the 'Edogawa Ranpo' who was sitting cross-legged beside him. Passed out: "What's wrong?"
Mr. Consultant was silent for a moment, Nakahara Chuya almost couldn't bear it anymore and fainted before he heard 'Edogawa Ranpo' speak slowly.
"...I'm not your qualified partner, Chuya."
The always proud consultant bowed his head for the first time.He seemed to be talking to the middle and also seemed to be talking to someone else. The tone of 'Edogawa Ranpo' was a bit relieved and mixed with unwillingness: "...If Dazai was your partner, you wouldn't die at all."
What are you talking... stupid?
Zhong Yuanzhong also opened his mouth to say something, but the increasingly raging drowsiness licked his nerves, making him unable to utter a word.
Nakahara Chuya's vision gradually blurred, and the voice coming from his ear became more and more difficult to hear.
random steps.......
Mr. Criminal Consultant lowered his head and looked at Nakahara Nakahara, whose consciousness was gradually blurring, and said in a low voice: "Do you know why you sent me to deal with these things?"
......why?
Zhong Yuanzhong, who was on the verge of coma, couldn't ask this sentence, but Mr. Criminal Advisor continued to speak on his own.
"Because my world has faced such a collapse before, and then..." 'Edogawa Ranpo' lowered his eyelids: "Someone solved it with his own hands...."
"Now it's my turn."
Roshan, which had been glued into minced meat, had turned into a puddle of black pus at some point, and the pus gradually turned into a translucent black mist, which hovered and condensed again when no one was aware of it. .
What's the meaning?Isn't the matter settled? !
Zhong Yuanzhong was also shocked in his heart, he wanted to ask, but he couldn't bear the double fatigue of body and spirit, he closed his eyes uncontrollably, and passed out in a deep coma.
'Edogawa Ranpo' tidied Nakahara Chuya's messy hair, and whispered: "Goodbye, Chuya."
After thinking about it, he added another sentence.
"Thank you."
I've been very, very happy all this time, thank you for being my friend.
In also.
.......
.......
Dazai Osamu was originally talking with Edogawa Ranpo about the follow-up matters after returning to the detective agency.But watching 'Edogawa Ranpo' stand up and walk towards the ruins in the distance, a sense of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart.
Wait...something seems to have been overlooked by him.
Edogawa Ranpo beside him obviously noticed something was wrong, and suddenly wanted to rush towards another self.
Dazai Osamu remembered the words of "Edogawa Ranpo" earlier, he grabbed Edogawa Ranpo's wrist suddenly: "Don't go to Mr. Ranpo!"
"Let Dazai go!" Edogawa Ranpo suddenly turned his head and stared at him fiercely. It was a look Dazai had never seen on Edogawa Ranpo: "You—"
Osamu Dazai made a knife in his hand, and the body of Edogawa Ranpo, who was still aggressive just now, collapsed limply. He hugged the body of Edogawa Ranpo who slipped down, so that he would not fall to the ground: "I'm sorry, Ranpo gentlemen......."
Osamu Dazai sighed silently, and his eyes fell on 'Edogawa Ranpo' who was standing in the middle of the ruins: "If this is really the case, even if I let you go... it will only be a waste It's just time."
'Edogawa Ranpo' used to hate the people in the armed forces office. Apart from the standpoint, what he hated even more was that the other party was obviously a strong man with abilities beyond ordinary people, but he always compromised or even got hurt in order to protect the weak.
why?
The strong already have the right to enjoy everything, and the weak are just waste that doesn't even need to exist if they don't have the ability.
He used to firmly believe that the so-called weak...... what value is worth protecting?
They are not even qualified to be put on the chessboard by him.
'Edogawa Ranpo' didn't understand it and didn't bother to understand it before, but it's different now.
In the Central Plains, when he fought Weird again and again, how could he...not be a weakling who couldn't be more cumbersome?
There is a faint whimpering sound at the feet, and the black mist of resentment is gradually thickening. They are integrated in the Century Amusement Park-they are produced because of the existence of the Century Amusement Park, and the Century Amusement Park is 'resurrected' because of them.
Roshan was indeed eliminated in the Central Plains, but it was not a real entity formed by the gathering and condensation of resentments. As long as the resentments did not dissipate, they could continue to reunite to form new entities.
This eerie amusement park clings to them and nourishes them at the same time.
Only by resolving these lingering resentments can everything in front of me... be able to truly and completely disappear.
'Edogawa Ranpo' glanced at Dazai Osamu who had no smile on his face and Edogawa Ranpo who fainted beside him, he let out a light breath and closed his eyes.
"Warning: It is detected that the body will use the sealed ability 'Phantom Santo'. The use of this ability will continue to cause irreversible damage to 'Edogawa Ranpo'. Are you sure to use this ability?"
The prompt sound of the work system echoed in the ears of 'Edogawa Ranpo', as if he had expected it, his expression did not change at all: "Confirm. '
"Ability unlocked (disabled): Phantom City Lord, I wish you success in your work."
The system notification sound in his ears disappeared, and 'Edogawa Ranpo' obviously closed his eyes, but there seemed to be one bright spot after another in his vision, and he carefully avoided the symbols symbolizing Osamu Dazai and Edogawa Ranpo. Bu and others are the small bright spots, and he pulls all the other bright spots into the fantasy dream he weaves in one go.
[Anyway, this is just a short life in the illusory floating world, no matter what this life is pinned on, the difference is not big. ]
——[Different Ability: Phantom City Lord]
......
......
This is Kota's first time at an amusement park.
Today is his ninth birthday, and his divorced parents got together after a long absence and took him to the amusement park.
"Xingta is a little birthday star, you can play whatever you want." The father who hadn't seen him for a long time took Xingta's hand, he lifted Xingta up, and let him sit on his shoulder and look at the crowded crowd in the distance.And my mother went to buy the ice cream that Kota wanted to eat: "I, I want to see the big lion and the red-nosed clown!"
"Hahaha, okay, then Dad will take Xingta to see, okay?" Dad supported Xingta, dragging him like playing a horse riding game with him when he was a child, talking to him happily.
When Kota talks to the teacher, his parents always say that when he was a child, the teacher would usually smile and say, "Kuta, you are still a child now, how can you say it was a child?" '
Kota would always retort: 'It was when I was a child! '
He thought to himself that his parents would only be together when he was young, and now that he grew up, his parents would be separated.
"Xingta stay here obediently first, okay?" Just as he was happy, Xingta was suddenly put on the ground by his father: "Daddy?"
"Mom can't seem to find us," Dad pointed at the phone in his hand and said, "I'll pick her up, Xingtai stands here obediently and waits for Mom and Dad to come back, don't run around, okay?"
"I know, Dad!" Kota, who was already an older child, agreed loudly.
"Xingtai is the most obedient." Dad said with emotion, touched his head, gave him a few more words of advice, and then disappeared into the crowd.
The sun at noon was very hot, and Kota nestled in the shade of the trees, looking around and shaking his head, always thinking that Mom and Dad would appear from somewhere in the next second.
But no.
"Why are you here alone?" The red-nosed clown holding a balloon suddenly appeared.
Xing Tai hesitated to look at the smiling face on the clown's face: "I'm waiting for Mom and Dad."
"That's it, then I'll take you to find Mom and Dad." The clown handed the beautiful animal balloon in his hand to Xingta who was obviously very interested: "If there are too many people, they may get lost and find you of."
"But Mom and Dad say you can't walk with strangers, and—"
"I'm not someone else, Xingta." The clown smiled and said, "I'm a staff member of the park. Didn't your parents tell you? If you accidentally get lost, ask the staff to help broadcast it, so that your parents can find you easily." ah?"
Kota nodded hesitantly, and reached out to take the clown's balloon.
The moment he took the balloon, Xingta only felt a strong sadness and pain sweeping through his heart, and every cell in the brain was agitating and clamoring for him to run quickly.
However, Xingtai was led along by the clown in a daze. Why did he run?
.......
It has been three years since Mieko and her boyfriend have been in love, and the elm head who doesn't know how to have sex and is always annoying has given her a very desirable anniversary gift: a pair of tickets to Century Amusement Park.
This is the place where Mieko dated her boyfriend Jiaxiong for the first time.
She has never been as good at dressing herself as her best friend, so she asked her best friend to help her choose a dress the day before the date.
'Men always want their girlfriends to dress better, so that they will have more face when they take them out. At that time, my best friend was holding hot pants and short sleeves, and said swearingly: "Mieko, you usually dress too conservatively. If you always wear old-fashioned long skirts, boys may lose interest." '
'Really? Mieko asked nervously, but she got a firm nod from her best friend: "Trust me." '
'Then...then I will dress more stylishly in the future. '
Mieko was wearing clothes she was not used to, and came to the amusement park to have a date with Jiaxiong nervously.
"Why are you dressed like this?" Jiaxiong asked her with a frown in casual clothes, but he was not as excited and happy as Mieko imagined.
"Don't you like it?" Mieko, who mustered up the courage to change herself for her boyfriend for the first time, suddenly felt aggrieved.
"I don't like it." Jiaxiong glanced at the passers-by, as if he felt a little embarrassed: "It's just that it's inconvenient in a place like an amusement park."
"Didn't you always like to wear long skirts? Why do you suddenly wear them like this?" Although Jiaxiong said that he didn't hate it, Mieko could hear the meaning behind his words.
He didn't like Mieko dressed like this.
"Then I'll replace it." Mieko lowered her head and said with red eyes.
"How do you—?"
Mieko shook off the hand that Jiaxiong wanted to reach out to hold her, and walked straight into the fashion store next to her: "You are not allowed to follow!"
I don't know why, but the moment Mieko stepped into the fashion store, the feeling of grievance and sourness just now was suddenly overwhelmed by despair and regret that appeared without warning.
Why...why do you feel so sick all of a sudden?
.......
Faces that could not be seen in the black mist became more and more horrifying because of the awakening of painful memories. The voices of men and women, either childish or sharp, overlapped and let out meaningless howls of pain.
The bloodstains that bloomed from time to time on the face of 'Edogawa Ranpo' had turned into gaps emitting light white light at some point, and the gaps were faintly expanding. 'Edogawa Ranpo' continued to weave fantasy unmoved.
.......
"Takano Kota's parents, please come to the carousel after hearing the broadcast. Your child Kono Kota is waiting for you here." The sound of the loudspeaker suddenly sounded, and Koya Kota, who was in a daze, was shocked. He opened his eyes He found that the parents who had come to him at some point were surrounding him with concern and greeting him.
"Dad... Mom?"
"Xingta, I'm glad I found you. You scared my mother to death, you know?" The gentle woman hugged Kota Xingta who was still empty in her heart, and the tears in her eyes fell down at once.
"Rideo, don't cry, it's all right..." Xingta's father hurriedly squatted aside and handed a tissue to the mother who suddenly cried: "Don't be sad, don't scare the child again."
"What are you talking about!" Xingta's mother snatched the tissue from her father and wiped it herself: "If you really lose Xingta, don't even think about remarrying!"
"I was wrong, I was really wrong, this time I did not do well..."
"My Xingta..." Mom ignored the apologetic father and just hugged him vigorously, as if she wanted to hold Xingta in her arms forever.
Dad, Mom...
Being hugged tightly by her mother, the empty feeling in Kota's heart dissipated instantly.
He stretched out his arms cautiously to hug his mother, and rubbed against her arms affectionately.
In the black mist, a painful and distorted face suddenly closed its eyes, and disappeared like melting snow.
'Mother......'
.......
.......
When Mieko woke up from extreme anger, nausea, and trembling emotions, she opened her eyes and saw herself in the mirror in a long white dress.
She pursed her lips helplessly, hastily unplugged the plug in the fitting room, opened the door and trotted downstairs.
Before going downstairs, Mieko saw Jiaxiong sitting among the crowd like a log.
"Why did you come in?" Mieko subconsciously asked with a puffy face, "Didn't I tell you to stay outside?"
"I'm sorry," Jiaxiong apologized stiffly like every time she got angry, "Mikeko, I should have made it clearer."
"What?" Mieko asked.
"You look good in whatever you wear, but...don't force yourself for me, change your own preferences...I'm sorry, I...I like Mieko who likes to wear long skirts just as much as I did just now of you."
"You bastard!" Mieko blushed instantly, and she could feel the kind eyes from other girls in the shop.The lingering gloom in Mieko's heart dissipated instantly, and she pushed Jiaxiong who wanted to continue apologizing and explaining: "Hurry up, you idiot!"
Another face slowly dissipated in the black mist...
.......
The faces in the black mist dissipated one by one, and the stench around them seemed to be weakening accordingly.
'Edogawa Ranpo' can feel the gradual fading of resentment.
He has no ability to change the past that has happened, but...he can do his best to give these grievances who have been tortured and died in vain, a false...but sweet dream.
While the dreams were successfully woven one by one, 'Edogawa Ranpo' vaguely felt that his body was collapsing a little bit.
He suddenly felt a little relieved, because of what...he couldn't explain it at all.
Mr. Criminal Consultant, except that a small part of his life in the first part of his life grew up in love and protection, he never enjoyed such peace and happiness in his later life.
Whether he became a test subject or was picked up by Mori Ogai, but he suffered from bulimia because he was not perfect, and finally killed Nakahara Nakaya......
His life was too much failure and imperfection.
'Edogawa Ranpo' used to hate ordinary people, what did he think ordinary people deserve to protect?They may be weak and ordinary, but correspondingly, even their pain is trivial and ordinary, which no one else can have if they want to have it.
What on earth do they have to protect?
'Edogawa Ranpo' also doesn't think he'll be the one to save others one day.
He was exhausted enough to keep himself alive.
But now, he came to this world and stood here.
Since when did this mood change?
Was Zhongyuan Zhongye resolutely blocking him behind?
Was it Osamu Dazai who came forward without fear of danger when he received the call for help from his opponent?
Is it Fukuzawa Yukichi who was seriously injured but still insisted on drawing his sword, standing in front of him and Dazai, and bringing him, who was once an enemy, under the umbrella of protection?
Maybe....neither.
Consciousness gradually collapsed, 'Edogawa Ranpo' took one last look at the world he had saved, and fell into a deep sleep.
I know the world is as fleeting as dew,
however,
however.
.......
.......
In the light rain all over the sky, the bright red faded like a tide, revealing a dark and slightly bright starry sky.
The treacherous atmosphere in the water park faded away like a tide in an instant.
The surrounding scenery distorted, blurred and dissipated, leaving only a weathered ruin.
All the stories that were left here have disappeared.
The night wind by the sea blew coolly over Osamu Dazai's cheeks, and he found that the wind carried a trace of late night that was not found in the strange world.
