Edogawa Satoru who wanted to be a detective is not a good sorcerer

Chapter 48 [47] If it suits my taste

He should not have been exposed to the supernatural.

Edogawa Ranpo turned his eyes away from the victim.

The victim was a high-ranking official. His neck was torn off, and blood spurted out in the direction of the door. However, the blood flow was not normal.

He touched the cold flesh with gloves on. The body was mummy-like, which should not have formed in the dank basement. There was no blood left, as if it had been sucked dry.

Although he had never been exposed to the supernatural, a word suddenly appeared in his mind: “curse”.

Just because there is no curse on Yokohama doesn’t mean there are no curse legends in the mystery world.

A famous detective looked up a lot of information and found that the victim was just unlucky enough to encounter a cursed spirit. After wasting his efforts, he even wrote a book to curse the cursed spirit, believing that this creature destroyed the sanctity of reasoning.

This book was soon banned by the government. But Ranpo happened to have read it. My father liked these miscellaneous books and filled a whole bookcase with them.

He also wondered why he was so convinced that it was the curse, just as he had always wondered about his “premonition” since childhood.

He stayed in Tokyo and took curses as his research direction.

When the senior official’s family heard him say the cause of death was a “curse,” they quickly accepted it.

It turned out that in the past few months, the family of the high-ranking official had been constantly harassed by curses. They paid a large sum of money to the sorcerer, but unexpectedly, the sorcerer died a few days ago.

They had anticipated then that death was inevitable.

Ranpo and Kei Haibara followed the high-ranking official’s family to contact the supervisory department of the curse world.

It was here that he met Gojo Satoru, who was threatening the Supervisory Department.

A man who looks exactly like his brother.

It was as if he had walked out of Yokohama just to meet this person.

But he did not approach rashly, but secretly investigated the information. He found the information very quickly, and the details were so detailed that he was dumbfounded.

What surprised him most was that the person who provided the information was named “若与我意”.

It was Edogawa Ranpo himself.

“I give myself information?”

Time and space change? Traveling through the world?
He began to recall the strange things that had happened to him since he was a child, but he really had no clue.

At that time, he had already enrolled in the police academy, and Xiao Wu was sent to an orphanage. Their house was vacant and no one lived there.

He went home first to see if his father’s police number had been cancelled and whether he could log into the police intranet to check other information. After solving the puzzle “If it suits my taste”, he got a string of zip codes and letter numbers, and he had to go back to Yokohama to investigate these letters.

Haibara Qi has been following him, and no one knows why. Ranpo can see that she respects him as a “genius detective”, but after going to the Supervision Department, Haibara Qi suddenly bursts out with several times more enthusiasm, not only arranging Ranpo’s schedule, but also busying herself investigating the world of sorcery.

I got a letter through the zip code, which contained information about various cursed objects in the world of curse and a piece of paper with the words “time capsule” written on it.

Why send these to him?

Gojo Satoru, Edogawa Satoru…

Just one clue and he could have put the whole thing together.

Fukuzawa knocked on the door: “Ranpo, did you finish the ice cream in the refrigerator again?!”

Yes, when he was not back at the school dormitory or the Edogawa family’s house, Ranpo-sama lived in the apartment with his assistant.

Ranpo jumped down from the stool and opened the door with a clatter of his slippers: “I have a question for you, about-“

Fukuzawa Yukichi spread his hands and said, “There is something I want to confess to you.”

Books have a table of contents. Even if there are no pages, you can still get an overview of the pages based on the table of contents.

His good friend Huihara Ye was once the head of the Special Powers Department. He told Fukuzawa that there was a problem with Yokohama’s pages and the key point was Ranpo, so he asked him to monitor Edogawa Ranpo.

Fukuzawa began to silently protect Ranpo when he was twelve years old, and became the assistant of the famous detective Ranpo when he was fourteen years old.

Ranpo had long realized that his assistant was hiding something from him, but he had never exposed it.

“Idiot!” Ranpo was a little angry.

Fukuzawa continued, “Graybara told me that you were in pain.” He knelt on one knee and raised his hand to touch Ranpo’s head, “You just don’t realize it.”

“I will be in pain if I miss this opportunity.” Ranpo blurted out.

He froze.

what chance?
Book pages?

Fukuzawa frowned and apologized earnestly: “I’m sorry, I was too self-righteous. I didn’t consider your perspective.”

Ranpo couldn’t get angry.

Compared to being angry, there are more important puzzles waiting for him to solve.

The Secret of Yokohama – The Book of Wishes.

It turned out to be in the time capsule of him and his brother. It turned out that this was not a capsule sent from the present to the future, but from the past to the present.

He picked up the book.

Fates intersected here. The gears began to turn.

Memories resurfaced.

Edogawa Ranpo understood. Huiyuan Ye was indeed influenced by the superimposed world and had completely entered the political world; and he was the same, he was also influenced by something he was not aware of. In order to avoid deviating from the result he wanted, he did not completely rely on Huiyuan to get the memory, but held the pages in his own hands.

The reason why we are familiar with the number 3 is that the page numbers of books are all 37.

He rushed to Tokyo and stood in front of Gojo Satoru again: “Hello, can I talk to you for a moment?”

Gojo Satoru looked down at Edogawa Ranpo and said, “Great. You and I hit it off right away~”

The two of them went to an open area, and Ranpo took out his phone and flipped through the photos to show Gojo Satoru: “I was surprised when I saw you last time. Because I have a younger brother.”

“He also has six eyes.”

Gojo Satoru’s expression was hidden behind his eye mask. He stroked his chin and asked tentatively, “How many times has this happened?”

Edogawa Ranpo answered irrelevantly: “You and Satoru each have a six-eye. If you meet, you may merge into one, which I don’t want to see.”

“You really like this unrelated brother?”

“Yes. I want to entrust him to you.”

Is this surprisingly honest?
The tall man then asked, “Since you’ve entrusted him to me, I can do whatever I want, right?”

“Don’t go too far, please feel free to do as you please.” Ranpo said.

This time, he’d be alone.

Fushiguro Shige accepted his commission, but he got too excited about beating Gojo Satoru, so he smashed half of Gojo’s brain to the ground and continued to look for Geto Suguru to fight.

When Edogawa Ranpo learned about this, his fists clenched.

The only people who knew about this, besides Gojo Satoru and Fushiguro Shinobu himself, was the curse master Nozomi who had been paying attention and adding fuel to the fire.

Edogawa Ranpo has already fallen several times because of the noose, and the struggle between them has become a situation where I predict your prediction and I predict your prediction.

Fukuzawa and Haibara chose not to tell Ranpo, and accidentally allowed Ranpo to escape from the chessboard of the battle formation, making all of Nozomi’s predictions become fantasies.

He still has time, there are still many days until October 10st.

So Ranpo decided to approach the noose.

Based on the several worlds in which he had dealt with noose, he roughly knew where to encounter noose.

The story developed more smoothly than he expected. He got what he wanted to know, and Noso also “supplemented” his plan.

Then, on April 4, he was not in Yokohama, had no sorcerer with him, and moved into an apartment with an ordinary person.

Nose released the cursed spirit to kill Edogawa Ranpo, just like he did in the previous world.

The ordinary person, Qi Huiyuan, was actually a death witness prepared by Edogawa Ranpo for himself. He wanted to make Nosobo think that he was dead and let Nosobo let down his guard.

At that time, Qi Haibara had already infiltrated the organization “Window” in the world of spells and had a certain understanding of spells. She knew what curse spirits and seeing curse spirits meant to ordinary people.

Means “about to die”.

Restraints can generally only be imposed on oneself, and if outsiders intervene, the strength of the restraint will be reduced. But it also depends on who is imposing the restraint.

Taking Yuji as an example, if he and Ryomen Sukuna form a bond, the bond will be more beneficial to Ryomen Sukuna.

At that time, the cursed spirit was in front of Haibara, and all of Haibara’s actions were spontaneous emergency avoidance, that is, “binding oneself”; Fushiguro Shiro, who was pulled from another world by the pages of the book, was naturally also a strong man. He instructed Haibara to “stay alive” in exchange for “losing part of her memory”, and the result of the bondage naturally favored Fushiguro Shiro.

And Haibara will investigate the follow-up of her lost memories and meet Xiaowu.

April 1st is April Fool’s Day. I hope the curse master will think more. The more he thinks, the slower he will act.

At that time, Edogawa Ranpo had already become a general.

He sent Fushiguro Shigeu to investigate the peculiarities of Yokohama. Gojo Satoru once told him, “The Gojo family doesn’t know what’s going on with Yokohama either.”

But he discovered that the cursed object that maintained the barrier had the Gojo family crest on it.

The conclusion is obvious.
Similarly, Gojo used the barrier to exchange for the first page of the book, starting this cycle.

Next, let’s deal with Xiao Wu’s matter.

Edogawa Ranpo needs to modify the first page of the book so that time will start flowing after November 11st.

The only one who can do this is Edogawa Satoru.

Edogawa Satoru was created by the book, but he is also separated from the book. His uniqueness can only be seen when compared with Gojo Satoru.

“If it suits my taste, everything will be fine.” Edogawa Ranpo said softly.

He spoke these words confidently for the first time since he was caught in the loop.
