Woke up and I became Da Jae's bandage

He said that he wanted to see "Feather".

I know I've found the right person.

I recognized those big watery eyes—exactly the same as Ms. Mu Chuanxia described that day.I have repeatedly modified these eyes on the drawing board many times, and I will never admit that I am wrong.

The child in front of him has been specially trained to find out the most valuable key points in the memory while quickly reading other people's memories.Just by saying "Yu", you can already see how good he is at digging up other people's memories.

The boy's eyes were clear, as if filled with waves, he looked fragile and innocent, and his face was extremely cute.

What a "pick up beads" orphanage.

I knelt down and patted his head.

"What's your name?"

"Ayan." He said to me with a smile.

"That's good, Ayan." I looked into his eyes and smiled slightly, "No need to go to the police station, I'll take you back to the orphanage directly."

Ayan's smile disappeared suddenly, and he waved my hand away: "It's not an orphanage! That's my home!" His reaction was so intense, it was beyond my expectation, and I wanted to try to make him say more About the content of the orphanage, so I didn't provoke him further.

"Okay, then I'll take you home." I said slowly, "It's so late, did your adults bring you out?"

Maybe because I mentioned the orphanage, Ayan's answer became a lot more cautious: "No, no one took me out. I lost my way. I came to find my younger siblings."

younger siblings?

I frowned.

At this moment, light footsteps came from the direction of the intersection.I followed the sound, and under the dim streetlights, two small figures appeared at the fork in the road. They both held dolls in their hands, one was a cat and the other was a little bear.

The moment Ayan saw them, he showed a smile and waved to them: "Xiaomei, Xiaoye, come here quickly, this big brother said he wants to take us home."

The two children walked towards me step by step with the dolls in their arms. Their shadows were stretched very long under the light. They were obviously young children, but somehow they gave off a sense of suffocation and oppression.

I took two steps back.

A gust of wind blew gently, and a cold object fell on the eyebrows and shoulders, and then the touch became more and more delicate.A Yan obviously noticed it too, he stretched out his hand and looked at the palm of his hand in a daze: "Is it snowing?"

Of course he would be surprised, after all it was only September.

Immediately, he immediately noticed something, and shouted at the other two children: "Xiaomei, go!"

Ayan's reaction was already very fast. When he found that he could not read the memory of the people around him, he immediately realized that the "I" he was holding was not the real me—indeed, the body of the "I" next to him had already Dissipated with the falling snow.

The two children didn't hesitate at all when they heard the words, and immediately ran in the opposite direction, which seemed to be a crisis handling method that had been trained many times.

Ayan watched the other two children run away, he didn't move - because he couldn't move, Tanizaki Junichiro was pulling his shoulders, and Edogawa Ranpo was standing not far behind us.

"Xiyuki", Tanizaki Junichiro's supernatural ability, separated me from Ayan, and created another "I" to stand beside Ayan.

Soon after I came out of the painting club, I edited the news about the new discovery of this incident.When I met Ahiko, I sent the message to Edogawa Ranpo.I deliberately led Ayan to the direction of the Armed Detective Agency, because I believed that Mr. Ranpo would make a correct judgment the moment he saw the text message—for example, come to me immediately.

Edogawa pulled his hat at random, approached me and patted me on the back: "Good job, Che, I'll ask the president to give you a bonus later."

While the snow was still falling, Edogawa walked past me in random steps and walked up to Ayan. He squatted down and took Ayan's little hand.

For some reason, I saw that Ayan seemed to be shaking.

"You...you..." Ayan couldn't continue, because Edogawa ran his hand towards the rabbit doll.

Ayan immediately hugged the doll tightly, and looked at Edogawa Ranpo with a fearful and resentful expression.

Edogawa Ranpo showed a smile on his face: "Is it really related to this thing?"

Ayan didn't speak.

Edogawa Ranpo stood up and said to Tanizaki Junichiro: "Okay, next, let's invite our little guest to sit at the detective agency for a while."

There are still people in the Armed Detective Agency who have not left. Except for Mr. Ranpo and Junichiro Tanizaki, the only person staying in the agency is Atsushi Nakajima.It seems that because he was born in an orphanage, Nakajima Atsushi was particularly concerned about this "pick up beads" incident.

Seeing our group coming back from outside, Atsushi Nakajima stood up from the sofa and looked at Ayan.

Ayan was a little depressed. He hugged the rabbit doll and walked straight to the sofa without saying a word.Atsushi Nakajima made room for him, so Ayan sat there, staring at the corner of the room.

Just then, my phone rang again, I took it out to check, it was still Osamu Dazai.

Hmm... just because I had to deal with A Yan, I hung up his phone, will I be scolded to death when I answer it now?

I answered the phone nervously.

"Hello? Dazai."

"Ache, are you in the detective agency now?"

Dazai Osamu's voice was very calm, and he didn't mean to question the teacher at all.

I breathed a sigh of relief—Osamu Dazai is so smart, he must be able to figure out the reason, and know that I didn't hang up on him on purpose.Look, don't you guess that I'm in a detective agency?

"Yes, I am." I replied.

"Alright then, give the phone to Mr. Ranpo."

His voice was still calm.

I followed what he said and handed the phone to Edogawa Ranpo.

Mr. Ranpo answered the phone: "Ah, Dazai, tell me. Um... um, yes, that's right. Um... sure enough... just as I expected."

Here Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo started chatting, I listened for a while, and realized something later - wouldn't it be good for Dazai Osamu to find Mr. Ranpo, just call the landline of the detective agency?Why are you calling my cell phone?

A terrifying guess came to my mind - Osamu Dazai is probably trying to hit me and tell me that he will settle accounts with me when he comes back, right?

I'm guessing wildly here, and the conversation over there is over.

Edogawa Luanpo hung up the phone and handed it back to me. His eyes stayed in front—Atsushi Nakajima was sitting next to Ayan, trying to talk to him, but Ayan seemed to be unable to hear anything. Said, there is no feedback of expression.

Atsushi Nakajima was very frustrated. He moved back slightly and accidentally touched the rabbit doll in Ayan's hand. Ayan quickly hugged the doll into his arms as if he had been stimulated by something, and looked at the detective with a vigilant expression. The people of the society.

Edogawa Ranpo pointed to the doll in his arms: "Did your father give you this?"

Atsushi Nakajima and I looked at Ranpo Edogawa at the same time—this question is wrong, don’t the children in the orphanage... have no parents?

But Ayan's reaction surprised us even more - he responded to Edogawa Ranpo's question and nodded.

Edogawa Ranpo smiled: "Very beautiful."

After Mr. Ranpo said this compliment, Ayan's eyes gradually shone, and his sitting posture relaxed a little.He seems to be very proud of the doll in his hands, and he is happy to show it off to us.Edogawa Ranpo then asked: "Does your brothers and sisters each have a doll from your father?"

Ayan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and added: "Father treats us equally well, we are a family that loves each other."

"Such a beautiful doll, does your father want you to keep it safe?"

"Yes." Ayan hugged the rabbit doll tightly and said, "This is more important than our lives."

I saw the corners of Edogawa Ranpo's mouth drooping slightly, he seemed to be suppressing his emotions.

But he still faced Ayan with a smiling face, and said in gentle and comforting words: "Don't worry, we didn't intend to hurt you. You can go to the room inside to rest first, okay?"

Seeing that we had no further plans to attack him, Ayan breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Atsushi Nakajima into the inner room.

The second after Ayan disappeared at the door, Edogawa Ranpo took off his beret and slammed it on the table slightly.

"That bastard..." he said.

I finally got the chance to ask Edogawa Ranpo a question. I didn't understand a series of his operations.I simply sat down opposite him and said, "Mr. Ranpo, did you just mention Ayan's father?"

Edogawa Ranpo said "Yes", he put his hand on his forehead, and seemed to be suppressing his anger: "The dean of that orphanage is called Sensuju, and his real identity Dazai is still being investigated. He was 'Daddy' to all the children in the orphanage."

I was taken aback: "Why would he do that?"

Edogawa Ranpo didn't answer me directly, but asked me a question: "Ache, what do you think the children in the orphanage lack the most?"

I thought about it and said, "It's family affection."

Edogawa Ranpo nodded, and he continued: "These children are brothers and sisters to each other, and with 'family affection' as the glue, they form a united and solid whole, and Qiansu is the core of this whole. The glass house is not It was built for outsiders, but for this group of children. They seem to be able to see the outside world through the glass, but in fact they cannot hear the sound of the outside world, nor can they contact the people outside. What they understand Yes, it's just the world Qiansu talked about."

I understand a little bit.

Isn't this mind control?

"Did you see the doll in his hand?" Edogawa Ranpo asked.

I answered.

"Dazai and I speculate that the supernatural ability of the dean Qiansu is a kind of boarding ability, which is divided into three branches, namely 'spying', 'seizing' and 'tampering'. These three cannot be used at the same time , so he came up with an ingenious idea—substituting quantity for quality used.”

I thought of the three little children I met today with different dolls in their hands.

"That is to say, Qiansu boarded his own supernatural powers on the dolls, and then handed them over to different children?" To my memory. If the other two children come closer..."

"Your memory will be captured and tampered with." Ranpo Edogawa concluded, "Just like Ms. Mu Kawashita's agent list."

"Is Chiju's purpose in doing this... information?" Junichiro Tanizaki who was standing aside interrupted and asked.

Edogawa Ranpo said "Yes": "Selling information is huge profits. How many people want to get a foot in it but can't find the way. Qiansu uses the innocence of these children to work for him under the sign of an orphanage. You You can see how well-trained these kids are."

Yes, I believe that in the eyes of these children, their "father" is the one and only God, and they will obey all his instructions.

"But there is one thing I don't understand." I questioned Mr. Ranpo, "Dazai once told me that the number of children in orphanages has not increased significantly according to the public data. Why is this? Isn't it children? The more there are, the more convenient it is for him to collect information?"

"There are two possibilities." Edogawa Ranpo stretched out two fingers.

"First, his boarding ability is limited, that is, the number of dolls is limited, and there are not enough places for distribution."

"Secondly, the use of this ability consumes a lot of mental power. After all, the prying and capture of memory is not free, and children's mental power is not enough."

Edogawa Ranpo paused slightly, and he opened his eyes.

"Children who consume too much energy will die."

The author has something to say: Please don’t dislike the fact that this part of the plot is not sweet. In the future, their baby will still be brought from here QVQ
