rambunctious lover

In the infinite city, all the ghosts gathered.

After learning the latest news about the "Blue Flower of the Other Side", they all talked a lot.

Tong Mo shook the golden fan lightly: "Speaking of absolute courage and justice..." He looked around and sighed pretentiously: "I'm afraid we don't have it here? After all, we are food..."

Before the words fell, the leader sensitively noticed a cold gaze from above.

He remembered, in front of Lord Ranpo, their ghosts don't eat people but only suck blood.

Very good, very good.

Tong Mo changed the subject nonchalantly: "If you need it, I can look for it among the believers. After all, there are 250 people, there will always be one or two who meet the requirements, right?"

His proposal was interrupted by a shaky chuckle.

Hua Kui casually fiddled with her nails: "Are you sure, Master Tongmo? It's easy for your Bliss Cult to find people with mental problems."

All the ghosts: "..."

The argument between Luo Ji and Tong Mo slipped into Wu Can's ears word by word, he frowned impatiently, but did not stop it for the first time.

He was immersed in his own thoughts, and Mei Hong's vertical pupils unconsciously turned to the sleepy Edogawa Ranpo below.

[Absolute courage and justice, isn’t this the detective you’re talking about? ]

Luanbu's words were like a clamoring tornado, entrenched in Wu Mi's mind for a long time.

The clever Tong Mo quickly discovered Wu Mi's absent-mindedness, he followed the ghost king's gaze...

"Could it be that Lord Wuyou wants to choose Lord Ranbu?"

As soon as these words came out, all the ghosts fell silent.

Except for Sayuri, whose soul was robbed indoors, everyone turned their attention to the place where Ranbu was.

thump-

Edogawa Ranpo, whose head was like a chicken pecking rice, lost his balance under the eyes of everyone, his heart beat violently, and he reluctantly woke up.

"what happened?"

It was already two o'clock in the morning, and four hours had passed since Ranbu's usual bedtime.

He yawned and blinked his green eyes covered with sleepiness, rare and ignorant.

The oiran spoke before Tong Mo said:

"Speaking of which, Ranpo Edogawa, as a famous detective who meets once in 30 years, should really meet the standard of 'absolute courage and justice'?"

Tong Mo beside her glanced at her, hesitated to speak.

Luanbu then understood, is Ganqing still discussing this matter?

He hid a smile on his lips, proudly puffed out his chest and looked towards the high platform:

"This detective also thinks so, is there any other suitable choice besides me?"

Tong Mo pursed his lips, is Lord Luanbu rushing to seek death?

Just as he was thinking, a frosty voice came from above his head:

"Edogawa Ranpo," Wu Mi looked down at him for a second, with contempt in his eyes: "You screamed in fright when you saw a bug, I don't think you have absolute courage."

Luanbu curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "My courage is reflected in other aspects. You see, I have solved so many strange cases."

Wu Mi: "...But you knew that my subordinates were ghosts, but you didn't report them. You are not absolutely righteous."

Luanbu: "There is such a disparity in strength between humans and ghosts. Only fools can do it well if you report rashly?" He took a breath: "Maybe, I am lurking here on purpose?"

The veins near Wu Mi's temples suddenly bulged: "What did you say?"

Luanbu wrinkled his nose: "Just kidding, who told you not to let me sleep at night?"

The detective's voice in the second half of his sentence was as thin as a mosquito, but all the ghosts present had good hearing.

They were dizzy and couldn't figure out how Edogawa Ranpo could still maintain a human routine when he had become a nocturnal ghost?

Ranpo didn't care about the doubts of his "colleagues", he thought for a few seconds, and looked at Gui Wu Tsuji with a smile on his face, his clear green eyes sparkled, very cute.

"Ah, Mr. Wu Mi is probably worried about my safety, and he is reluctant to let me take risks?"

Without being speechless, he stared at Luanbu for a while and looked away, with a cold tone:

"Don't be sentimental."

Luanbu let out a dejected "Oh", but a clear smile bloomed on his lips.

Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi hated to see him like this the most, and was about to sneer with fear, so he said in a chaotic way:

"Miss Sayuri." He said unhurriedly, "If these things are extracted from the body, will there be any impact?"

My heart skipped a beat, is this guy serious?

He glanced at the sleepy-looking woman in front of him, burning with anger.

Out of pity for his "sister", Spider Tired pushed her desperately.

The woman woke up like a dream: "Ah, this, I don't know very well, I have never encountered a similar situation."

Useless idiot.

Cursed inwardly.

The famous detective nodded in understanding: "That's right."

His lazy eyes flicked across the faces of the ghosts with different expressions, and when he saw Tong Mo, he burst out with a shining light of hope.

"However, the leader Tong Mo is born with a lack of emotion and lives happily, so it can be seen that even if I don't have courage and justice, I will be fine, right?"

Wu Can watched Luanbu walking towards him slowly, without any hesitation or pause.

tap tap —

With the sound of footsteps echoing in the hollow of the room, the familiar sense of powerlessness returned.

That was the taste that Onimai Tsuji had experienced every day when he was still a frail and sickly human being.

A ball of cotton blocked his throat, making it difficult for him to even breathe.

What is this disheveled, completely undetective guy insisting on?

Edogawa Ranpo stopped in front of him, grinning and showing his white teeth, and smiled at him with an innocence that didn't meet his age.

He bent down, gave a nondescript salute, and said solemnly:

"Shangxian Wu is very willing to serve Wu Mi-sama."

Onimai Tsuji was stunned. In his memory, this was the first time that Edogawa Ranpo expressed his identity as a ghost.

"..."

He licked his lips, and the waves surged in his coquettish red pupils.

Luanbu seemed to be aware of his thoughts, raised his head and flicked the broken hair on his forehead indiscriminately:

"You're not going to die anyway, are you? Ah, but how am I going to give you the justice and courage in me?"

The next day, showers

Wu Mi followed Ranbu to the warehouse that was said to be able to enter the subconscious of "human beings".

A man who called himself Baigui Funataro came up to him in three or two steps:

"Luanbu, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Chaos?

Wu Mi frowned when he heard the man's overly intimate title.

He even noticed that the moment Baigui saw Luanbu, there was joy in his eyes that was incompatible with his serious face.

Onimai Tsuji Wucan took a step forward in silence, keeping Edogawa Ranpo behind him.

As clean as he is, he took the initiative to hold Baigui's hand:

"Hello, Mr. Baigui. I'm Yueyan."

His lips are slightly pursed, polite and distant, playing a qualified gentleman.

The eyes of Wu Mi and Bai Gui met in mid-air, which was close at hand, quietly, swords were on the verge of breaking out, and gradually even the strength of the handshake turned into a contest.

"Oh, sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."

Intentionally or unintentionally, Edogawa, who was the instigator, fled in disorder.

Wu Mi let go quickly: "Hmph."

Baigui looked away indifferently.

In front of the sink

Edogawa stared at himself in the mirror, his pale and sickly face from lack of sun really looked like...

A veritable ghost.

He lowered his head and fished out the half-empty bottle of medicine that Maternity Shiki had given him from the pocket of his cloak.

In order to avoid being discovered by Wu Mi these days, Luanbu has been carefully controlling the dosage of the medicine.

In other words, he is now half-human, half-ghost.

However, it will all come to an end today, no doubt about it.

With some water on the palm of his right hand, he carefully smoothed his short, unkempt hair all year round.

The thin bangs fell on his forehead, making him look like a young man who doesn't know much about the world.

But people passing by just look at his pair of green eyes hidden behind his bangs, and they will know that there is huge energy in this man's body.

"Absolute courage and justice?"

Edogawa Luanpo laughed sarcastically, Wu Mi would actually believe what he made up.

Just like there is no green flower in the world, of course there is no thing that can be dyed by refining "justice" and "courage".

Everything is just a game of inviting you into the urn.

This is the notebook that Akutagawa put in Sayuri's apartment in advance, and the illusion of encountering a thief is like this, even Sayuri's panic is pretending.

Having said that, Sayuri is worthy of being the top 1 female publicist in Roppongi before, and her acting skills are comparable to professional.

Edogawa smugly complacent, for the sake of his precise vision of seeing people.

but……

Thinking of Oni Wu Tsuji Mumi who was waiting in the warehouse, his eyes dimmed a little more.

What will happen to the famous detective who meets once in 50 years and the supreme King of Ghosts after today?

Luanbu had no time to think, and his slender eyes were gradually covered with a layer of determination.

He raised his head and swallowed the medicine that would turn him back into a human, and after a while...

The pain of tearing flesh and bones came from every part and every cell of Luanbu's body, and the tens of thousands of nerves in the brain pulled each other frantically.

"..."

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead in streams, and the detective gritted his teeth to hold back the pain from his throat...

After a while, warehouse

Edogawa Luanbu came late, his whole body was wet, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

Seeing this, Wu Mi frowned: "Where have you been?"

Luanbu smiled nonchalantly: "Go and say goodbye to yourself."

He stood in front of Wu Mi, his eyebrows lowered, his thin shoulders shrugging constantly.

thump-

Wu Can heard the sound of his heart tightening suddenly, his expression was indifferent:

"You regret it."

When the question was uttered, even Wu Mi himself didn't know what answer to expect.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm down the anger he might have had at the random answer.

Tong Mo is right, there are so many useless human beings in the world, there are always one or two who meet the requirements.

It just takes a little longer.

Anyway, he, Guiwu Tsuji, has been waiting for hundreds of years, and there is no essential difference between one day and one month.

Wuyou stretched out his hand towards Luanbu by mistake, just when their fingertips were about to touch...

"It's okay, if we succeed, we can turn back into humans, right?"

Edogawa raised his head randomly and asked him, his drooping short hair with water droplets added a bit of innocence and innocence to him.

"...You just want to become a human?"

"That's right." Edogawa Ranpo nodded as a matter of course: "Because I want to bask in the sun with you and grow old."

What a, touching, confession.

Wu Mi couldn't believe his ears, because it was not like what the usual Edogawa Ranpo would say.

"..."

The ghost king stared at him, his Adam's apple rolled several times, as if he had a thousand words to say, but only a dry sentence remained on his lips:

"Yes, we will become human."

He hastily avoided the chaotic green eyes, those green eyes that could hide all lies.

Ranbu seemed to be wandering in a beautiful fantasy, and smiled happily.

"That's good." He said, "Oh, by the way, where's Funataro?"

If only a few minutes ago, Onimai Tsuji Muyou would have been furious because of Ranpo's address.

But now he is too busy to deal with the guilt welling up in his chest.

"Mr. Baigui said to prepare."

"Ha, prepare? Do you still need to prepare? Funataro, don't go back on your word!" The detective guessed angrily.

"Who said I've backed down? Edogawa Ranpo, I activated the warehouse privately for your request. You should be careful, right?"

Baigui Funataro walked in against time, the emotion in his eyes was not so much anger as helplessness.

"Okay, are you sure you're ready?"

He looked into Luanbu's eyes and asked word by word.

"Of course, please." The detective bowed unexpectedly.

"...Then please sit in the cockpit with Mr. Tsukihiko."

Edogawa Luanbu left without misfortune, and walked away alive and kicking alone.

No misery: "..."

Baigui's eyes were deep: "..."

Wait until Luanbu and Wucan sit down in the cabin honestly.

"Then I will send the two of you down the well now. Mr. Yueyan hopes that you can find what you want in the well according to the prompts."

[absolute courage and justice].

After 5 minutes, Luanbu and Wuyou's consciousness was thrown into the world of the well, and their bodies in reality lay powerlessly, as if they were in a coma or even dead.

Baigui Funataro walked quickly towards the solid hatch, took a deep breath, and quickly pressed his fingerprint and password.

click —

The heavy door slowly opened, and the other side appeared in the field of vision—

Yashiki Yoya and members of the Demon Slayer Squad who have been waiting for a long time.

The author has something to say: the next chapter is coming to an end!
