Another World Bookstore in Yokohama

Chapter 83

"Beep beep—the number you dialed is not answered, please try again later..."

Kunikida Doppo hung up the phone, frowning tightly.

"Why is Mr. Ranpo at this time... I hope nothing happened." The man sighed.

"Is it not connected?" Osamu Dazai asked.

"Yes."

"Then it's going to be difficult. The two of us probably won't be able to deal with this person."

"Tsk."

Kunikida Doppo rubbed his temples. "Think about it again, there must be other ways, it's just that we haven't found it yet."

"But that Paul..." Osamu Dazai turned his head to look at the man standing in the smoking area not far away.

"Yes, smoking at this time should be prioritized."

"I'm not saying that, Kunikida-kun, you seem to have forgotten something."

"what?"

"Extraordinary power." Osamu Dazai said.

And then realized something, Kunikida Doppo opened his eyes wide.

Osamu Dazai smiled: "Although there is no basis, I'm sure that he definitely has supernatural powers."

"And very powerful."

"In that case," Kunikida Doppo turned sideways to look at Paul who was not far away, "I'll ask."

"Oh, what a bold move."

"Yes, but this is not a gamble, we have no risk." So he decided to ask.

Just as the man over there pinched off his cigarette butt, he trotted towards Osamu Dazai.

Standing in front of Kunikida Doppo and the others, Paul smiled and said, "They seemed to be looking at me just now, were they talking about me? Sorry for wasting time."

"It is true that we are discussing you, but not this side." Osamu Dazai said.

"That?"

Kunikida Doppo asked directly: "We are curious about what your supernatural power is. Dazai said that you should have supernatural powers, so he is more concerned. If you have any, can you tell us? But if you don't, just treat us as bothering us. ..”

Paul's eyelashes trembled slightly, but they were inconspicuous: "Of course I have, or that guy would probably laugh at me."

Seeing the strange looks of the two people opposite, the man quickly explained: "We are not that kind of, uh, plastic friendship, but if the organization we belong to has no special abilities, it will be very difficult to handle the work. If there is no If you have different abilities, it will definitely cause a mess. So."

"Understood, can you tell me about Mr. Paul's supernatural power? You can just tell me his name, so as to facilitate future action arrangements."

"It's [Parallel], a special ability in space." Speaking of these, he suddenly stopped talking, and the man showed an embarrassed smile: "Sorry, I can't explain my special ability in detail to the public. This is the confidential content of the organization."

"Oh..." Is it the organization directly?

As if seeing Kunikida Doppo's confusion, Paul smiled: "Don't worry, our organization has a relatively good secrecy mechanism, and I'm also a person who doesn't go out very much."

"But if you check carefully, you will find out, right?"

"Of course, but that's okay in Europe, and they have set up strong shielding and interference measures for Asia. You probably won't find anything."

"Tackling Asia?"

"Well, the power of the Hua Kingdom has been very strong these years. Although it has always been self-enclosed, it still needs to be guarded a little bit, but I don't know if it will work."

Paul spoke casually, as if these things he said were very commonplace things, as if these were just things he and his friends said in their spare time.

And it is indeed a very common thing, at least for Paul, he is only an outsider in these defense measures of his own country against foreign countries, so he is not very sensitive to intelligence or information in this regard.

There is actually no harm in speaking out, and of course there is no benefit either.

There is nothing wrong with making this a topic of idle chatter.

"By the way, have you found a way?" The way to find Verlaine.

This is actually the reason for calling Edogawa Ranpo before, but obviously this method is not very good, and the phone has not been connected.

They have been to that place, and indeed found some information.

But there was no sign of the person. In the empty church, the desertedness made people even feel a little chilly in the bottom of their hearts.

However, in the center of the front, a glazed stone reflects beautiful light and catches people's eyes.

Although the light is not very warm.

Kunikida shook his head alone.

"Do you have any thoughts?" Osamu Dazai asked, looking at Paul.

"Me? What can I do? But it seems that this person is still alive and kicking, why don't you come back tomorrow? I'm already hungry."

"This is really what my friend thinks—" Kunikida Doppo murmured with emotion in a low voice.

Are you afraid that this is a bad friend?

"I'm going to find something to eat! Goodbye~" Paul waved away.

"Goodbye."

After watching the other party leave from his sight, Kunikida Doppo looked sideways at Osamu Dazai, and was about to say something.

"I'm leaving too, Kunikida-kun, bye~" After saying this, Osamu Dazai ran away, and finally a sentence floated in the air, "Remember to go back to the detective agency~"

Kunikida Doppo: ... (expletive)

------

Armed Detective Agency.

Kunikida pushed the door open and entered alone.

After looking around for a while, a confused question mark appeared above his head.

Is there no one here?

Why did Osamu Dazai ask him to come back?

The man walked towards the office area and was walking briskly when he suddenly saw a small brown dome on the table not far away.

Isn't that Mr. Ranpo's hat?

Why didn't you take it away?

Kunikida Doppo took out a notebook from his pen holder, and walked straight to the desk where Edogawa Ranpo was.

However, the further he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Why is there something behind, no, it's a person!

It is already past six o'clock.

Already walked in front of that person.

"Mr. Ranpo?" Kunikida Doppo called hesitantly.

There was no response, the man yelled again, and poked the man's body with his hand.

"...um...what are you doing~~" A sticky □□□ sound came from between the buried arms, Edogawa raised his head in disorder, and blinked his sleepy eyes.

Then he rubbed his sore eyes and yawned long.

"sleepy--"

**

Fyodor was lying on the not-so-soft bed, reading a book engrossed.

Suddenly the communication machine beside him vibrated.

The man blinked his eyes and picked it up skillfully.

“…”

"..."

"..I don't know the situation over there, so please ask yourself to be blessed."

The man laughed.

"Click" Fyodor manually shut down the machine, and randomly removed a part on it.

Then take the hand that was on the page of the book, and turn over a page.

What he is watching now is "Crime and Punishment". Although he has read it in general before, he still wants to reread it again.

"A new cadre?"

"It feels like it's going to be interesting."

"'Despicable', 'Despicable'"

The man whispered the words in the book, his eyes gradually drooping.With his eyes closed, he couldn't help humming a piece of poetry in Russian that he had recently received when he was out on a lookout.

【

"...The mud on the soles of our feet can't explain anything, just let us start..."

"...The beautiful flowers and plants passing by on the road, I didn't ignore you on purpose. It's just that under the brighter sky, I turned into a horse galloping for wind and birds..."

"...The dawn is approaching, and the warm morning light is blooming between the sky and the earth. The dewdrops hang on the tip of the stamen grass, and the cold wind can't blow it off..."

"...For the comfort of my soul, I followed the thin river to the lake in the mountains. This mirror-like thing illuminated my face and emotions..."

......

"Is it because of that ridiculous heart?"

"Is it because of that ugly appearance?"

"Is it because of that despicable act?"

"—what am I crying about?"

"...It is because of me that I saw the radiant sunrise, and because of me I came to a world of peace and self-touch..."

"...It is because I bid farewell to the dim and dilapidated old sunset, and because I temporarily left the chaotic and selfless swamp world..."

"...so I ran, and the birds in the trees rejoiced for me, and sang to me the bright song of the brighter day...."

......

...

】

After humming a few words, Fyodor sighed and lay down on the bed.

Already a little sleepy, of course this is understandable, after all, it is about ten o'clock now, and the last time he woke up was six o'clock in the morning.

Put the book on the bedside, and put the communicator in a small hidden compartment above the head.

Looking at the ceiling, the air fell into silence, but the storm in the man's mind continued, and he closed his eyes tiredly.

The work during the previous period really broke his body. He has stayed in this place for more than a year, and of course he has been out for a short or long time in the middle.

Although it was originally for missions and plans, after that great change——

It's of no value.

Under the frame of his own pursuit during that period of extreme work and rest, working with his side, and hostility, his body was already very broken.Now, in order to perfectly pursue the beautiful world in his mind, it is better to take good care of this ruined body first.

So he stayed in this place, after all, he had a place to sleep, and every day if he was obedient, he would be given hearty meals.And a mental player like him doesn't need to perform the hard work.

The Five Decays of Heaven and Man have basically been fully exposed to some public view, but because of Fukuchi Sakurachi's weight all the time, only a few supernatural beings in charge of guarding were placed by the Supernatural Secret Service in the name of supervision.

For this reason, the captain of the hound has changed, but it is just a puppet to cover up the eyes and ears. The original team members of the hound only obeyed Fukuji Sakurachi's message and the government's orders.

Alas, thinking about these things at this time is really hard to make people happy.

But this place is really good for the elderly.

During these days, he slept normally here every day, and the bruises in his eyes were also considered to be a little less.

"The recent port mafia is really lively." Fyodor said with a sigh, his eyes closed tightly.

Really, it's going to be so lively——

The author has something to say: I tried my best to write some poems (I gave up, I tried my best)

woohoo

Pushkin has many epic poems.It also pays more attention to depicting the scenery.

I don't like to spray each other.

This chapter talks about some settings, in terms of time, the current time is two or three years later.A lot of things have happened and changed, so there will be a lot of privacy.

So tired, so tired, code words, so tired——
