He should have never been in contact with the supernatural side.
Edogawa Ranpo looked away from the victim.
The victim was a high-ranking official. The neck was torn off, and blood splattered in the direction of the door. But it still cannot reach normal blood flow.
Wearing gloves, he touched the cold flesh. The body is mummified and should not be found in a dank basement. And there was no blood left at all, as if it had been sucked dry.
Although he had never come into contact with the supernatural side, a word suddenly appeared in his mind, "curse".
Just because there is no curse in Yokohama does not mean that there are no legends of curses in the reasoning world.
A famous detective checked a lot of information and found that the victim was unfortunate enough to encounter a cursed spirit. After his efforts were in vain, he wrote a book specifically to curse the cursed spirit, believing that this kind of creature destroyed the sanctity of reasoning.
The book was quickly banned by the country. But Ranpo happened to have seen it. Dad likes these miscellaneous books and has a bookcase full of them.
He also wondered why he believed so firmly that it was caused by a curse, just like he had always wondered about his "premonition" since childhood.
He stayed in Tokyo and took curses as his research direction.
The senior official's family heard him say the cause of death was a "curse" and quickly accepted it.
It turns out that in the past few months, the senior official's family has been cursed and harassed. They paid the conjurer a large sum of money, but they didn't expect that the conjurer also died a few days ago.
At that time, they had expected that death would be inevitable.
Ranpo and Haihara Qi followed the senior official's family to contact the supervision department of the magic world.
It was here that he met Gojo Satoru, who threatened the Supervision Department.
A man who looked exactly like his brother.
It was as if he walked out of Yokohama just to meet this man.
But he did not approach rashly, but secretly investigated the information. The information was found very quickly, and the details were jaw-dropping to him.
What surprised him the most was that the provider of the information was named "If it suits me".
It was Edogawa Ranpo himself.
"Do I give myself information?"
Time and space change? Travel across the world?
He began to recall the strange things he had experienced since childhood, but he really had no clue.
At that time, he had already entered the police academy, and Xiao Wu was sent to an orphanage. Their house is empty and no one lives in it.
He went home first to see if his father's police number had been cancelled, and if he could log on to the police station's intranet to check for other information; after solving the "If it suits me" puzzle, he got a string of postal code letters. , he also wants to return to Yokohama to investigate these letters.
Haiyuan Qi has been following him, and she doesn't know why. Ranpo could tell that she respected herself as a "genius detective", but after going to the Supervision Department, Haibara suddenly became more enthusiastic. She not only arranged Ranpo's schedule, but also hurriedly investigated the curse. The academic world.
I got the letter through the postal code, which contained information about various spells in the magic world and a piece of paper with the words "time capsule" written on it.
Why send these to him?
Gojo Satoru, Edogawa Satoru...
Almost a clue. He can string the whole thing together.
Fukuzawa knocked on the door: "Ranbu, have you finished eating the ice cream in the refrigerator again?!"
Yes, during the days when he was not back in the school dormitory and the Edogawa family, Ranpo-sama lived in the apartment with his little assistant.
Ranbu jumped down from the stool, stepped on his slippers and opened the door: "I have a question to ask you, about-"
Fukuzawa Yukichi spread his hands: "There is something I want to confess to you."
Books have a table of contents. Even if there are no pages, you can still get an overview of the pages based on the table of contents.
His friend Haibara Ye was once the chief of the Special Agents Division. He told Fukuzawa that there was something wrong with Yokohama's book pages, and the key point was Ranpo, and asked him to monitor Edogawa Ranpo.
Fukuzawa began to protect Ranpo silently when he was twelve years old, and became the assistant of the famous detective Ranpo when Ranpo was fourteen years old.
Ranpo had long seen that his assistant was hiding something from him, but he never revealed it.
"Idiot!" Ranbu was a little angry.
Fukuzawa continued: "Haihara told me that you are in pain." He knelt down on one knee and raised his hand to touch Ranpo's head, "It's just that you didn't realize it."
"I will only suffer if I miss this opportunity." Ranbu blurted out.
He froze.
What opportunity?
Book pages?
Fuze frowned and apologized seriously: "Sorry, I was self-righteous. I didn't consider it from your perspective."
Ranpo couldn't get angry.
There are more important puzzles waiting for him to solve than being angry.
Yokohama's Secret - The Book of Wishes.
It was actually in his and his brother's time capsule. It turns out that this is not a capsule sent from the present to the future, but from the past to the present.
He picked up the book.
Destinies intersect here. The gears start turning.
Memories resurface.
Edogawa Ranpo understood. Huiyuan Ye has indeed been affected by the superimposed world and has completely entered the political world; and he is also affected by influences that he is not even aware of. In order to avoid deviating from the results he wants, he does not remember the matter of memory. The matter was completely pinned on Haiyuan, but he held the pages of the book in his hands.
The number 3 is familiar because the pages in the book are all 37.
He rushed to Tokyo and stood in front of Gojo Satoru again: "Hello, can I talk to you?"
Gojo Satoru looked down at Edogawa Ranpo: "Okay. You and I hit it off right away~"
The two of them went to an open place, randomly took out their mobile phones and showed the photos to Gojo Satoru: "I was surprised when I saw you last time. Because I have a younger brother."
"He also has six eyes."
Gojo Satoru's expression was hidden under the eye mask. He touched his chin and asked tentatively: "How many times has this happened?"
Edogawa Ranpo answered the question incorrectly: "You and Satoru each have six eyes. If you meet, you may merge into one, which I don't want to see."
"You really like this unrelated brother?"
"Yes. I want to entrust him to you."
Is this surprisingly honest?
The tall man then asked: "Since you have entrusted him to me, can I do whatever I want?"
"If you don't want to go too far, please feel free to do so." Ranpo said.
This time, he was fine alone.
——
Fuhei Shiji accepted his request, but he hit Wu Jiao Satoru, smashed half of Xiao Wu's brain to the ground, and continued to fight Xia Youjie.
When Edogawa Ranpo learned about this, his fists became hardened.
The only people who knew about this, apart from Gojo Satoru and Fushiguro himself, were the curse master Kensuo who had been paying attention and supporting the fire.
Edogawa Ranpo has already stumbled several times on Kensuo, and the struggle between them has become I predict you, I predict your prediction.
Fukuze and Haiyuan chose not to tell Ranbu, and an accidental collision caused Ranbu to escape from the chessboard of the fighting formation, making all of Kensuo's predictions a fantasy.
He still has time, there are still many days left until October 31st.
So Ranbu decided to approach Kensuo.
Based on the few worlds in which he had dealt with Kensuo, he probably knew where to meet Kensuo.
The story developed more smoothly than expected. He got what he wanted to know, and Kensuo also "supplemented" his plan.
Then, on April 1, he was not in Yokohama, there was no magician around, and he moved into an apartment with an ordinary person.
Kensuo released the curse spirit to kill Edogawa Ranpo, just like he did in the previous world.
And that ordinary person, Kei Haihara, was actually the death witness that Edogawa Ranpo prepared for himself. He wanted to make Kensuo think that he was dead and let Kensuo put down his guard.
At that time, Haibara Qi had already sneaked into the "window" of the organization in the magic world and had a certain understanding of magic. She knew the curse spirit and what seeing the curse spirit meant to ordinary people.
It means "to die".
Generally, restraints can only be imposed on oneself. If the outside world intervenes, the strength of the restraints will be reduced. But it also depends on who is bound to it.
Taking Polygonum cuspidatum as an example, if he sets a bond with Liang Mian Su Nuo, the bond will be more conducive to Liang Mian Su Nuo.
At that time, the curse spirit was in front of Haiyuan, and all of Haiyuan's actions were spontaneous emergency escapes, that is, "establishing a bond with oneself"; Fuheishier, who was pulled from another world by the page of the book, was naturally also a strong person, He instructed Huiyuan to "trade life" in exchange for "losing part of his memory", and the result of the bondage naturally favored Fuheisher.
And Haiyuan will investigate the follow-up for his lost memory and meet Xiao Wu.
April 1st is April Fool's Day. I hope the Curse Master will think more. The more he thinks, the slower he will act.
At that time, Edogawa Ranpo had already generalized.
He sent Fushikiji to investigate the special features of Yokohama. Gojo Satoru once told him, "The Gojo family doesn't know what happened to Yokohama's account."
But he discovered that the enchantment that maintained the barrier had the crest of the Gojo family.
The conclusion is obvious.
Similarly, Gojo replaced the first book page with a barrier, starting this cycle.
Next, deal with Xiao Wu’s affairs.
Edogawa Ranpo needs to modify the first page of the book to allow time after November 1st to start flowing.
The only one who can do this is Edogawa Satoru.
Edogawa Satoru was created by books and separated from them. His uniqueness needs to be compared with Gojo Satoru to see how different Edogawa Satoru is.
"If it suits me, everything is fine." Edogawa Ranpo said softly.
After falling into a loop, he said this sentence confidently for the first time.
