"That's not necessarily true, Atsushi~~" Osamu Dazai patted Atsushi Nakajima on the shoulder: "If you're so curious, why don't we find out when we go and have a look?"

"Go in, go in—?!" Atsushi Nakajima asked in a broken voice.

"Yes~~" Dazai Osamu said with a smile, "The Supernatural Secret Service Division entrusted us to investigate the source of the monster—it's not something that can be investigated just by standing here."

"Monster—?!" Atsushi Nakajima immediately thought of the ghost-like patient he saw in the corridor just now: "So the thing I saw just now is what we are going to investigate tonight?"

"I don't think it should be." Osamu Dazai took out his mobile phone and found out the photos taken by the Supernatural Secret Service before, and showed one of the clearer frontal pictures of the monster to Atsushi Nakajima: "I think what you saw just now Shouldn't it be like this?"

Atsushi Nakajima was taken aback by the face of the monster displayed on the dimly lit phone screen, and he took a step back in fear: "Mr. Dazai! Don't release this kind of photo suddenly! "

"Guoba Nasai~~"

Osamu Dazai put away his mobile phone, he smiled and apologized without sincerity: "I didn't expect Atsushi to be so timid..."

"Hoo......Mr. Dazai......" Atsushi Nakajima breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, and said helplessly: "Whoever suddenly sees this kind of - uh...... deformity All the monsters should be shocked."

"Really?" Osamu Dazai tilted his head, and he showed a smiling face as if he had succeeded in a prank and said, "Relax a little, Aunt, if you are so scared at this level of navigation, you may not be able to get in when you go in later." You'll be scared to cry."

"...I'm not useless to that extent, Dazai-san......"

Atsushi Nakajima was taken aback by the photo that Osamu Dazai suddenly displayed close to his face only because he was unprepared. He soon stopped worrying about this issue.Atsushi Nakajima adjusted his mentality. He pointed to the broken window not far away and said, "Then are we going to climb in from here now?"

"That's not necessary," said Osamu Dazai, "Although it may restrict our abilities to a certain extent, if it's just to break the chain, Kenji will be fine."

It was only then that Atsushi Nakajima discovered that during the time he was talking with Osamu Dazai, Kenji Miyazawa walked from the dirt slope just now to the main entrance that was tightly bound by chains.

"Can you? Miyazawa-kun?" Atsushi Nakajima looked hesitantly at Kenji Miyazawa who was looking up and down the main entrance. If he remembered correctly, Kenji Miyazawa ate a lot of beef ramen tonight.

Miyazawa Kenji's supernatural ability: [Not afraid of wind and rain] is a strange power and defense that can only be used when hungry.

"It's time for supper..." Edogawa Ranpo who was on the side had just finished the last bite of the delicious bar, and he took out another lemon drop from his pocket and threw it into his mouth This made Kenji Miyazawa, who was already a little hungry, feel like his stomach started to growl.

"The chain is not a problem." Miyazawa Kenji replied with a bright smile, but soon he looked a little uncertainly at Edogawa Ranpo, who was crunching hard candy beside him: "It's just. ...the door looks flimsy, and if I accidentally break it...it won't be a problem, Mr. Ranpo?"

"Don't worry, don't worry," Edogawa Ranpo replied vaguely while chewing the hard candy, "The people who can claim compensation from us have already died..."

"Is this the point? Mr. Ranpo?!" Atsushi Nakajima was dumbfounded: "Shouldn't the point be that we should worry about whether the monsters in the hospital will come out of it?"

"Relax~~ Atsushi——" Osamu Dazai smiled and patted him hard on the back, slapping the unprepared Atsushi Nakajima staggeringly: "With you and Kenji here, those monsters will be fine. It doesn't matter if you really run out, right?"

Osamu Dazai winked, and said, "Mr. Ranpo and I will be completely protected by Atsushi and Kenji—"

Mr. Edogawa Ranpo, who has always been unwilling to work, even took the initiative to come to work overtime with them in the middle of the night without the encouragement of the president and snacks.

——Even Mr. Dazai, who has always been keen on skipping work, volunteered to help them with tasks!

Looking at Edogawa Ranpo who was squinting his eyes and yawning with tears in his eyes, Atsushi Nakajima felt a sense of responsibility in his heart: "Don't worry, Mr. Dazai, I will definitely take Mr. Ranpo and you into good care." Back to the detective agency!"

"That's good." Kenji Miyazawa breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and stretched out his hand to catch the iron chain at the door, which was as thick as a man's forearm. With his feet shoulder-width apart, his hands were strong: "Wow-la!"

The rusty heavy iron chain looked like a fragile straw in the hands of Miyazawa Kenji, and he twisted it and was about to break soon. However, the one that failed earlier than the iron chain was that the door didn't look very strong. double doors.

Under the action of Miyazawa Kenji's strange force, the rusted iron gate quickly broke away from its original position, and twisted and deformed from the rusted door frame and fell out.

There was a loud bang of "bang!", which was extraordinarily loud and piercing in the silent night.

The iron door, which was overwhelmed by the weight, fell straight to the ground, and the large piece of glass inlaid on the door frame crackled and fell into pieces with a splash.

Miyazawa Kenji and Edogawa Ranpo, who had already moved away slowly, avoided the splashing glass shards in time.

Atsushi Nakajima stared at the dark end of the stairs in the door opening, always on guard for any monsters rushing out of it suddenly.

But obviously, his worries were unnecessary.

Nothing changed until the dust that swung up fell to the ground.

"Okay," Osamu Dazai slapped his hands in front of his eyes, as if he wanted to shake off the floating ash: "Let's go in—"

.......

.......

It was only after he actually walked into this weird hospital that Atsushi Nakajima felt much more uneasy than when he was looking at it from a distance.

The layout of this dilapidated hospital is very strange. The entrance of the main entrance corresponds to a horizontal corridor. The corridor is extremely narrow, and only two people can pass side by side.

Both ends of the corridor were sunk in thick darkness, only the middle doorway facing the corner of the stairs was illuminated by dim yellow lights, and the tungsten filaments of the lights were smudged black like mildew or oxidation.

At both ends of the corridor, as far as Atsume Nakajima could see were some vacant offices with half-closed doors, which looked empty as if there was nothing there.

Atsushi Nakajima looked left and right, Edogawa Ranpo had already led Dazai Osamu and Miyazawa Kenji to the bottom of the dark stairs, it seemed that he wanted to go directly downstairs The basement or the first floor.

"Huh? Mr. Ranpo?" Atsushi Nakajima hurriedly followed after a while, and he asked strangely while going down the steps: "Shouldn't we go to the office on the first floor or upstairs like the second floor? ?”

"That..." Edogawa Ranpo and Osamu Dazai looked at each other, and while continuing to walk down the steps, he said lazily, "It doesn't matter if you don't go."

It was Osamu Dazai who stopped, and looked back at Atsushi Nakajima with a smile: "Although that's what I said, but if you are curious, Atsushi, you can go and have a look..."

Osamu Dazai said: "Just to verify our guess..."

Edogawa Ranpo stopped immediately, and he hung his head and yawned: "Na Atsushi, you have to move faster, I'm so sleepy that I can hardly walk."

"Hey? I, am I alone—?" Nakajima Atsushi asked, pointing to his nose.

"If you're afraid, I can go with you!" Miyazawa Kenji volunteered to raise his hand and said, but before his words fell, Miyazawa Kenji's stomach let out a loud 'cuckoo' sound.

"This..." Atsushi Nakajima looked at Osamu Dazai, who was covered in bandages, and then at Edogawa, who was so sleepy that he was about to fall down the stairs and could hardly keep his eyes open. Luanbu, he still chose to refuse and said: "Forget it, let me go and see for myself first, Mr. Xianzhi, please stay here and wait for me to come back."

"Yeah!" Osamu Dazai leaned back on the handrail of the stairs, the smile on his face deepened, and he clenched his right fist to cheer for Atsushi Nakajima: "Then I'll leave it to you, Atsushi-kun~~"

Atsushi Nakajima looked at the dark upstairs and hesitated for a while, and decided to start with a few empty rooms in the corridor.

The facts did not go beyond the judgment of Edogawa Ranpo and Dazai Osamu. There was nothing useful in the first few rooms except thick floating ash, discarded utensils and iron frame beds.

However, Atsushi Nakajima found a filing cabinet left behind in the last room.

The doors of the filing cabinets were nearly all locked.Nakajima Atsushi hesitated for a moment, he remembered what Edogawa Ranpo said to Miyazawa Kenji just now, he gritted his teeth and said it all.

To Atsushi Nakajima's disappointment, there was nothing useful in the locked cabinet, mostly empty portfolios and one or two vaguely printed drug receipts, without any special information.

Just when Atsushi Nakajima was about to leave, he suddenly noticed with sharp eyes that there was a piece of paper at the bottom of the cabinet that seemed to be torn from a medical record, and it seemed that someone had scrawled something on it with a marker.

Atsushi Nakajima could only make out a few sporadic words such as "cabinets...cannibalize" and "chasing and killing...hiding". Li is going to take a piece back to show Edogawa Ranpo and Dazai Osamu.

As soon as he returned to the stairs, Atsushi Nakajima was surprised to find Osamu Dazai walking down the stairs slowly: "Mr. Dazai, did you go up by yourself?"

"Well," Osamu Dazai nodded, spread his hands and said, "But I didn't find anything, the upper floor is also on the first floor."

"Above is also the first floor?" Atsushi Nakajima asked confusedly.

"Yes," Osamu Dazai said, "not only the upper floor, but no matter how many floors you climb up, it's the first floor..."

"After all I—just climbed up."
