Chapter 618 The Headless Horseman of Ikebukuro
They came to meet with Heiwajima Shizuo today. In addition to Mashu wanting to let Fujimaru Ritsuka and Heiwajima Shizuo get to know each other, they also wanted to ask each other some questions.
So after understanding the general situation of the other party, we finally got to the point.
Fujimaru Ritsuka asked Heiwajima Shizuo:
"Mr. Heiwajima, do you know about the rumored Headless Horseman operating near Ikebukuro?"
"The Headless Horseman...?"
Heiwajima Shizuo's tone paused slightly and asked with some confusion:
"What's wrong with her?"
she?
Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu looked at each other, feeling that the other party seemed to know more information than they expected.
Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and confessed their purpose: "That's it. In fact, Mr. Heping and Mr. Shima's situation is similar. We found that each other's figure is being noticed by more and more people, and even filmed it on the Internet. "
"If this continues, as more and more people notice her, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble for the whole society and herself."
"So to prevent that from happening, we wanted to talk to her."
If the other party is not a bad person like Shizuo Heiwajima, and the situation is caused by unavoidable reasons, they will also try their best to help.
But if the other party is an evil person, then there is nothing left to say.
"I see."
Shizuo Heiwajima nodded, but his expression was still hesitant.
Because Master Mashu once told him that the business of their Chaldean Mystery Firm is to deal with various incidents related to mysterious phenomena.
However, things like what Fujimaru Ritsuka said are generally more appropriate to be managed by government agencies, right?
Or rather...
Thinking of this, Shizuo Heiwajima leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice slightly: "Can I ask, Miss Ritsuka, are you an official organization?"
"If this is the case..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka was about to deny it, but at this moment, Gaia's voice suddenly came out and said:
‘What an official institution! Mom is my agent, and she has the final say in all mysterious-related events around the world! ’
‘…You say it so nicely, but in fact you just want me to work for free, right? ’
'Hey, hey, how could it be possible...'
Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed helplessly and looked at Heiwajima Shizuo who was a little confused. She thought for a while and replied: "We are not an official organization. But in this regard, are there any troublesome questions? You can come to me."
Not official?
But if you have any questions, you can go to her?
Although it sounded a little strange, Heiwajima Shizuo didn't know what he thought of. He solemnly nodded and said:
"...I understand."
So the topic returned to the issue of the Headless Horseman. Heiwajima Shizuo said:
"Don't worry, Selti is definitely not a bad person. Regarding the conversation, I will first ask her if she is free."
"Celty...?"
Under the unexpected looks of several girls, he took out his mobile phone and started sending a message. After a while, he raised his head and said to Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Okay, she is rushing here, please wait a moment."
It is obvious that Shizuo Heiwajima not only knows about the Headless Horseman, but they even know each other and have each other's contact information.
For Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, this was indeed an unexpected surprise. They did not expect that the second goal would be achieved so easily.
but……
"If the other party is really the Headless Horseman, this kind of place may not be suitable for conversation."
Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at the people in the store and the busy streets outside the store, and smiled at Heiwajima Shizuo:
"Otherwise, you should go to our office. The address is..."
——
After the other party agreed to change the meeting address, everyone returned to the Chaldean Mystery Office in Yoneka Town as a contact The human Heiwajima Shizuo naturally followed.
Arriving downstairs of the office, when he saw the signboard of Chaldea Mysterious Office, Shizuo Heiwajima also noticed the Mori Detective Agency opposite and murmured:
"Detective Mori..."
He remembered that it seemed to be a very famous detective... Fujimaru Ritsuka naturally also saw the Mori Detective Agency, and thought that after the matter was over, he would go over to see Xiaolan.
I just don’t know if the other party is at home. After all, Mouri Kogoro still has a lot of business nowadays.
Everyone went upstairs and entered the office. Shizuo Heiwajima couldn't help but marvel at the luxury of the interior decoration of the office. At the same time, he also noticed all kinds of strange and mysterious materials in the display cabinets.
He couldn't quite understand those things, he just found them a bit strange.
After a while, the phone vibrated. Shizuo Heiwajima opened it and looked at it, saying to everyone:
"She said she was almost there."
At the same time, as if sensing something, Fujimaru Ritsuka turned to look out the window. After a while, a black figure appeared at the end of the street——
The other party was driving a pure black motorcycle and wearing a tight black motorcycle jacket. The pure black combination made the yellow helmet with cat ears on her head particularly conspicuous.
In order to show courtesy, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu and Shima Shizuo came downstairs to greet each other.
"Celty, here!"
Hearing their friend's call, the other party came to a stop in front of the three of them. Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu instantly felt the [inhuman] nature of the other party.
Not only the other party, but also the motorcycle beneath her seemed to give people a feeling of being alive.
Celty nodded to Shizuo Heiwajima, but did not speak. Instead, he took out his handheld computer and started typing on the keyboard, and then showed it to them——
"Who are you?
What do you want from me? "
Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:
"We will explain it slowly, but let's talk about it first."
When everyone returned to the office, they saw two little girls, Pest and Haihara Ai. Celty was stunned for a moment, wondering what kind of battle this was.
On the other side, Matthew subconsciously wanted to make tea to entertain the guests, but suddenly realized that the guest this time was the Headless Horseman, and hesitantly asked Sel: "Well, Miss Selti, can you Want to drink tea?”
Celty typed on the PDA (handheld computer) and replied:
"Thank you, I don't need it."
Fujimaru Ritsuka sat opposite Celty and asked with a smile: "First of all, I want to confirm, Miss Celty, you are the headless horseman who is rumored on the Internet to be active near Ikebukuro, right?"
Celty did not answer, but first looked at Heiwajima Shizuo, then at Pest and Haibara Ai beside him, and typed:
"There are children here."
"Is it okay to let them know?"
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:
"They are not ordinary children, but our companions."
Not an ordinary child?
Celty glanced at them curiously again, hesitated for a moment, and then typed:
"……All right."
"I am the Headless Horseman."
"Do you need proof?"
"If you can, of course."
Celty nodded in affirmation, then put down the PDA, put his hands on the motorcycle helmet, and slowly took off the helmet, revealing its true face——
There was an empty space under the helmet, with no head at all. At the connection between the exposed head and neck, there was a faint black smoke of an unknown substance.
This is the Headless Horseman of Ikebukuro - Celty Strülson.
