Odasaku stood behind Jie Shuyi and patted the child's shoulder soothingly. "What's wrong? Did they disappear because of their supernatural powers?"

Xie Shuyi sighed and drooped. He pulled the uncle to a corner, lifted the hem of his sweatshirt, and then sat down on the steps.

Odasaku looked at him in confusion, "Not worried?"

Xie Shuyi looked up, "Ranpo will not put himself in danger."

He paused, "I don't know when it started, but Ranpo and Poe are unexpectedly on the same page."

Odasaku stared at his child, "Are you jealous?"

The person who was still talking to himself a second ago suddenly choked. Jie Shuyi stood up quickly and asked, "Are you kidding me?"

Odasaku continued, "I heard from Dazai that you like him the most, and now..."

“I still like it now!”

"Oh~"

Odasaku smiled, "You really like Dazai."

Xie Shuyi looked up to the sky and shouted, "You're teasing me again!"

Odasaku didn't say anything, but just patted the boy's head soothingly, with a little more tenderness in his eyes.

He knew better than anyone that such peaceful days would not last long.

The multinational intelligence organization received the news earlier than anyone else that a huge change was about to happen in Yokohama.

The purpose of Odasaku's return to Yokohama this time was not only to celebrate Jie Shuyi's birthday, but he also planned to take the child away.

But when you witness with your own eyes how Xie Shuyi interacts with the members of the detective agency, and see their relationship and friendship clearly, you realize that for Xie Shuyi now, his world is no longer just about the name "Odasaku".

Maybe staying is not the best choice. Maybe one day in the future Odasaku will regret his decision.

But now Odasaku chooses to release Shuyi right here.

Instead of helping him avoid future dangers, it is better to let him accompany the companions he identifies with and shoulder their future together.

Odasaku had already thought of his farewell words, and just as he was about to say them, he suddenly felt a furry touch at his feet.

He looked down and saw that the little raccoon on his shoe had been picked up by Jie Shuyi.

"Hey, little one, have you been left behind like me?"

The little raccoon couldn't speak and could only move its limbs around with its teeth and claws bared. Xie Shuyi could see a pitiful and helpless look on its face.

He stretched out his finger and scratched the raccoon's chin. "What's the matter? Did your master ask you to give me a message?"

Upon hearing this, the raccoon seemed to understand human nature and actually nodded.

Xie Shuyi nodded to indicate that he understood. There was only one possibility for Poe to ask the raccoon to find him.

Ranpo originally wanted to take him with him, but he went in too hastily just now, and now he should want to use the raccoon to pull Jie Shuyi into the world of superpowers.

Xie Shuyi held his chin and thought seriously. With Po around, nothing serious would happen to Ranpo in the world he created. What's more, he also believed that with Ranpo's ability, he would be able to bring the murderer to justice.

There seemed little point in his entering it.

Xie Shuyi lifted the raccoon higher, and as he raised his head slightly, he saw the uncle's smiling face.

He couldn't help but shudder.

Uncle, how are you today...

So strange...

Xie Shuyi held the raccoon's paws with tears in his eyes and said, "Take me away."

Who knows what shocking words the uncle will say if I stay any longer!

The character is ruined!

The moment Jie Shuyi finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot. Odasaku was still leaning on the railing, looking down at the empty steps.

Both the man and the raccoon had left, and it seemed that the only thing left was a lonely cell phone.

And he was all alone.

Odasaku lowered his head and took out a cigarette from the pocket inside his coat.

ignite.

Breathe in.

Spit it out faintly.

It is truly the calm before the storm.

After taking a few puffs, Odasaku put out the cigarette butt with his hand.

Xie Shuyi never liked him smoking, although he knew the child had no chance to smell it, but by the time he got to Odasaku, he had unknowingly developed the habit of taking only three puffs of each cigarette.

He took out his cell phone, typed the text message and clicked send.

And then a person walked away in the opposite direction.

Officer Jipu noticed his actions and asked, "Officer, where are you going?"

Odasaku didn't turn around, but just raised his hand and waved.

He threw the remaining cigarette butt on the ground, put his hands in his pockets, and left silently.

For Odasaku, this time when he returned to Yokohama, he had done everything he should do.

Now it's time for him to return to China and take care of those troublesome children.

Xie Shuyi only felt dizzy, and his body seemed to have changed from sitting to lying down.

Before he even opened his eyelids, he heard a muffled groan coming from his side.

Xie Shuyi turned his head and opened his eyes.

Oh, it’s an acquaintance.

Oguri Mushitaro was grabbed by the neck, his yellow eyes shrank, and his face was full of fear and disbelief.

Jie Shuyi's gaze moved upwards. He saw a man with an afro sitting astride Oguri Mushitaro. He couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he could hear his voice filled with resentment and despair.

"How dare you kill me!"

Jie Shuyi glanced around. It was an ordinary little hotel with no special features. The only slightly strange thing was that the floor was filled with written papers. The mixed smell of mold and ink was really unpleasant.

Xie Shuyi pursed his lips. This scene looked exactly like the place where a famous novelist was killed.

So, this guy with the afro is the unlucky writer who was killed?

Xie Shuyi is looking forward to the next development.

But surprisingly, Oguri Mushitaro did not struggle. Instead, his eyes showed more surprise and disbelief than fear of death.

Oguri Mushitaro seemed to be in disbelief that the person in front of him would kill him.

Xie Shuyi turned his body sideways, supported his head with his hands, and found a more comfortable position to observe the two people.

The murderer didn't believe that the victim would ever think of killing him.

It's a relationship that's even more unspeakable than that between lovers...

The afro put more and more force on his hands, roaring, "I hate it so much, I hate it so much!!"

Finally, under the threat of death, Oguri Mushitaro took action.

He placed his hands on the wrists of the afro-haired man. There was no guilt in his eyes for killing the deceased. Those emotions were too complicated for Jie Shuyi to understand.

Oguri Mushitaro's hoarse voice escaped from his throat, "No... This is not right, Yokomizo."

It's a really anxious situation...

I don't sense any murderous intent.

Jie Shuyi had no desire to read on. He patted the non-existent dust on his legs and stood up quietly.

Ranpo suddenly appeared beside him, and Xie Shuyi immediately put on an aggrieved expression, as if questioning why he was just left outside.

Ranpo took out a candy from his pocket as if he was comforting a puppy. After watching Jie Shuyi accept it with satisfaction, he turned around and looked at the scene in front of him.

The air in Oguri Mushitaro's throat was becoming increasingly scarce, but with Ranpo's low murmur, the figure on his body instantly relaxed its strength, and then the afro turned into a wave of supernatural power in front of Oguri Mushitaro's eyes and disappeared completely.

"That's right, this is not reality." Ranbu said, "Reality is like this."

He snapped his fingers.

Then, as if projected, beside them appeared Oguri Mushitaro and Afro, whose situation was completely opposite to before.

At this time, Oguri Mushitaro was kneeling on the guy with the Afro, and the one who was suffocated to death by the throat was also the guy with the Afro.

Oguri Mushitaro regained his composure a little, "I see, this is the space of Poe's novel, the psychic of that group."

Xie Shuyi smiled and replied, "You guessed it right, but it's a no-prize contest."

Ranpo took two steps forward and stood in front of Oguri Mushitaro. "I will send a message via email and ask him to recreate the crime scene."

As he unravels the secret, the virtual scene around him slowly dissipates.

Jie Shuyi stretched out his hand to touch the virtual edge, but no matter how he waved his hand, he could not catch the golden line.

The walls of the hotel have disappeared, leaving only papers on the floor, densely covered with documents written in afro style.

He tilted his head, "Why?"

Oguri Mushitaro looked up at Jie Shuyi, "What?"

Xie Shuyi pursed his lips and said, "'This is not right, Henggou', this is what you just said. It seems that you have a very close relationship with the Afro. Can you tell me why you are so surprised?"
