“Hello, nice to meet you. I’m Kei Huihara, and I’m with the Yokohama Second Police Station.” The young woman in a blue police uniform stood in front of Edogawa Ranpo and said, “Captain Huihara of the Special Ability Division wants me to hand over this confidential document to you and to cooperate with you unconditionally.”

She secretly looked at the overly young boy. He should be no more than thirteen years old, wearing a police uniform that Huiyuan was familiar with, and the clothes near his hands were all wet.

She looked down and saw the bird with feathers clinging to her body from her backpack.

To save the birds?

The young man casually shook his hands, which were half dry and half wet. Under Huiyuan Qi’s accusing gaze, he took the so-called confidential documents with his wet hands.

Grayhara?

I do not know.

He quickly scanned the pages in the folder and understood exactly what had happened – the 24-year-old Gojo Satoru did not develop according to what was written on the pages, he neither committed suicide nor died at the age of 25.

So there is no Edogawa Satoru in this world, and his parents also died due to other reasons.

“Didn’t Huiyuan Ye say anything?”

Like why the world didn’t come to him like before.

Qi Huiyuan shook her head: “Chief Huiyuan is running for mayor.”

Ranpo understood: before the pages of the book were refreshed, Huihara Ye had already received some memories of the superimposed world, and entered the political arena according to the plan of the previous world, attempting to connect the world of magic, psychics and the government to achieve the goal of peaceful coexistence.

Therefore, Huiyuan Ye, whose focus was not on the Special Ability Agent Department, did not receive the news of the sudden appearance of the book pages in time, and it was delayed for a while before the pages were given to him.

Then who was the first to discover the pages during this period?

The first page is “Beginning”…

Although Edogawa Ranpo has always avoided making proofs in this regard, for fear of irreversible consequences – the cycle of the world will stop and all previous efforts will be wasted.

But if someone other than the three of them touched the pages of the book—

“Oh, by the way, Commander Huihara said that only the first page is passive.” Huihara Qi added.

A flash of inspiration.

Edogawa Ranpo closed the book and said, “As expected.”

It’s okay if the first page is seen by more than three people.

Because seeing the pages of a book doesn’t make you a “person” at all.

Huiyuan Qi was puzzled: “What?”

“Don’t tell you.”

Edogawa Ranpo looked up at the sky. The sky was as quiet as water, with a few lonely clouds floating in the distance.

Is this the world you see, Xiaowu?
It’s so fake.

Edogawa Ranpo waved his coat and walked with the wind: “Let’s go find someone.”

Find Gojo Satoru.

After going through these worlds, Edogawa Ranpo had become very familiar with Gojo Satoru, and soon he met Gojo Satoru himself in a dessert shop that Gojo Satoru liked very much.

Gojo Satoru felt like he had bumped into someone, but he looked around and saw no one.

Edogawa Ranpo: …

I’m used to it and I’m too lazy to even get angry.

“Down there.” A cold voice sounded.

Gojo Satoru lowered his head, and the petite Edogawa Ranpo patted Gojo Satoru’s elbow with his hand: “I want to talk to you.”

Ranpo explained the plan of the rope to Gojo Satoru, without mentioning the book. “My brother was killed by him. I told you all this just to make sure he died.”

He saw Edogawa Satoru die in front of him.

Edogawa Ranpo holds a grudge.

Gojo Satoru slowly squatted down: “This is unexpected information.”

“I will investigate and verify it. If you lie,” the white-haired man pressed Ranpo’s shoulders, “I will kill you. Wasting the strongest person’s time is–“

“Disrespectful to dessert.” Ranpo smiled.

Gojo Satoru paused, then stood up. He stroked his chin and smiled, revealing his big white teeth: “How many times have we had this kind of conversation?”

Ranpo smiled but said nothing.

“Ah, you can’t say that, right?” Gojo Satoru clapped his hands. “What do you want from me?”

Edogawa Ranpo asked, “Why didn’t you die when you were 24?”

I also learned that he thought about suicide when he was 24. Gojo Satoru smiled even more brightly: “Although I did it once, but I didn’t go through with it.”

what……

The description of the first one is “Gojo Satoru chose to commit suicide at the age of 25 when he was fighting against the traitor Geto Suguru due to psychological problems.”

The seventh one reads “At the age of 24, Gojo Satoru chose to commit suicide when fighting against the defected Geto Suguru.”

Fewer psychological problems?

wrong.

People who commit suicide must have mental problems.

Is “psychological problems” a prerequisite? Is it related to Xiaowu’s state after the separation?
The thought only flashed through his mind for a second, and after Gojo Satoru finished speaking, Edogawa Ranpo immediately said, “Please explain it in detail.”

“Okay. Where do you want to go to talk?”

“Panxing Religion.”

Gojo Satoru laughed: “You want me to go find that traitor?”

There was no death or split, so Gojo Satoru didn’t defect? ​​Edogawa Ranpo nodded calmly.

Qi Huiyuan:?

What riddle are these two telling?
Then she saw Edogawa Ranpo pointing at her and shaking his head, and then the tall white-haired man waved his hand, and a man with the Gojo family crest printed on his clothes came out. Huiyuan Qi’s pupils shrank, this man was very tall and majestic, she stared at him, and Gojo Satoru reached out and grabbed Edogawa Ranpo’s head and disappeared in the next second.

Qi Huiyuan: “Fuck!”

She immediately turned around and shouted, “Did you see that?! They disappeared in a flash!”

The servant of the Gojo family looked down at her, his expression healthy and his tone gentle: “Hello, would you like to wait for a moment?”

Huiyuan Qi blushed.

“Hmm… yeah! Do you want to have a cup of coffee together?” Just as Gojo Satoru put down his Ranpo, his hands were slapped away and he was kicked.

“I unexpectedly feel very familiar with you…” Gojo Satoru didn’t care at all. No matter how low he went, no one could kick him.

He did attempt suicide at the age of 24. Perhaps his illness was not that serious and he was not in the right mood to commit suicide, so he stopped at the last second and was stopped by Geto Suguru.

Xia Youjie pushed the door open and was stunned when he saw Gojo Satoru: “Why are you here?” He turned around and glanced at Edogawa Ranpo, “Who is this?”

Although Gojo Satoru did not defect in this world, his relationship with Geto Suguru has improved again in private.

“A dubious good Samaritan offering a plan.”

–

“Flash marriage?!”

Huiyuan Ye was howling in the phone: “I just lent you my niece for a while, why did you marry her off?!”

“As an uncle, I have never been in love!”

Edogawa Ranpo hung up the phone indifferently.

This time, Gojo Satoru did not defect, and the memories obtained by Nozomi were biased.

After getting in touch with the political world, the Gojo family spent almost all of their money to install surveillance cameras throughout Japan. I have to say here that the money is far from enough, but the Gojo family’s sincerity touched the senior officials in the political world and promoted the law to gradually add surveillance.

Noose, times have changed, now is the era of technology.

Edogawa Ranpo looked at the collected reports on Nose’s whereabouts with satisfaction.

“Where else can you hide?” he sneered.

The world is not enough.

The next page, and the next, and countless more after that, until the world stops.

Edogawa Ranpo wanted to make Nozomi watch his plans fail at the very moment they were about to succeed.

This is Ranpo’s childish little revenge.

In order to chase her husband, Huiyuan Qi, who changed her job from a police officer to a “window”, knocked on the door and reported: “Gojo Satoru decided to stage the pursuit of Mr. Geto Suguru in advance.”

“Really.”

That’s great.

Edogawa Ranpo is currently being protected in Tokyo Juuko High School, supplementing Gojo Satoru’s information in the library.

“Six Eyes”, information is collected automatically.

It must be a big pressure on the brain. Xiao Wu never cries or makes a fuss, and I don’t talk to him about it. He is so sensible, it really makes me feel distressed.

His poor brother…

There is a mist wrapped around Gojo Satoru, and although I can see the whole picture, there are some details that only I know.

“Sixteen years old, astral plasma incident.” Edogawa Ranpo closed the document.

Noso died in 2016.

2018 10 Month 31 Day.

Every time, Edogawa Ranpo tries his best to stay until the last second of this world.

Even though he had nothing to do in this world. The memories he inherited were the biggest spoilers of the reasoning cases, and those that originally interested him would only become more and more boring in the reincarnation. He was getting closer and closer to the world of spells, at least he could still walk into the long and boring history and pick out the information he wanted to know.

But he still insisted on staying until the end of this world.

Even a cadaver teacher soaked in formalin will receive sincere gratitude from medical students.

He waited until the end, respectfully waiting for the arrival of another world or tomorrow.

11: 59.

Don’t let anything unexpected happen this time.

Edogawa Ranpo closed his eyes.

The world without Xiaowu is so boring.

The eighth page: “…During the Astral Plasma Incident, Gojo Satoru was chopped off the left brain connected to his left eye by Fushiguro Jin’s Amagaki Hoko…Edogawa’s parents had a premonition that they had two children…”

There are more and more words on the pages.

–

The seventh card does not have Wu’s memory, so he never existed.

The eighth page was a waste page. Edogawa Satoru picked up the eighth page and waited for a long time, but no memory appeared.

He looked at Edogawa Ranpo in confusion.

“Because the description was too detailed, Fushiguro Shinobu added two more strikes and killed Gojo Satoru.” Ranpo said helplessly.

From the eighth page onwards, there are several waste pages.

“I’ve tried it on every age group. It doesn’t work before the age of sixteen, because Gojo Satoru hasn’t awakened the reversal technique. Between the ages of sixteen to twenty-five and between the ages of twenty-six to twenty-eight, using psychological problems to commit suicide doesn’t work. Gojo Satoru has a high tolerance, and his collapse is only short-lived, and he can adjust himself quickly. He will only commit suicide if he has read the first page.”

But committing suicide at the age of twenty-five cannot solve the problem that the world has no future.

“As for sending someone to kill Gojo Satoru, you can’t do it before the age of sixteen, because he can’t awaken the reversal technique; you can’t do it after the age of sixteen, because Fushiguro Shiro, who can kill Gojo Satoru, is already dead. At the age of sixteen, the only person you can choose is Fushiguro Shiro.”

“The biggest problem is choosing Fushiguro Shijiro.”

“He does whatever he wants and always makes unexpected decisions within the rules of the book.” For example, making a few unexpected finishing blows in unexpected places.

and so.

Edogawa Satoru was thinking, what would he do if it were him? Would he keep trying until Fushiguro Shiori could cut and split Gojo Satoru perfectly?

No.

He will –

“Anyway, books can’t affect this world, so I can use them to go to the next world.”

Edogawa Satoru lowered his eyes.

That’s right, my brother won’t sit still and wait for death.

I am not the mountain, I am the mountain.
