Chapter 201

The next day, Fukuzawa Yukichi, who had been in Kansai for more than a week, finally came back with countless praises and a lot of business cards when he came back from Kansai. The reputation of the Kansai region has once again risen a lot.

Seeing the beloved president come back, Edogawa Ranpo, who was just talking about wanting to code words, really started to write. He had already brewed a story, but he didn't write it because he was lazy. Now With this writing, more than [-] characters were written at once, and the speed of the code words was astonishingly fast, which made Kunikida Doppo think that he had an illusion and saw someone else pretending to be Edogawa Ranpo.

Seeing that even Edogawa Ranpo, who was too lazy to write for thousands of years, started to write, the others suddenly felt a little bit helpless. As a result, when the editor of Iwanami Bookstore came to collect the manuscript in mid-May, some I was surprised to find that the author of my own procrastination maniac did not delay the manuscript, and several other households with difficulties in food production also submitted their manuscripts, especially Edogawa Ranpo, this great god also started It's a new pit, this is really beyond the expectation of editor Mizushima, editor Mizushima almost thought that it was going to rain red, and he was so excited that he almost didn't run out and ran around the detective agency building three times.

Even if Edogawa Ranpo is not the editor in charge, it is perfectly fine to help him bring the manuscript back. As for other issues such as insufficient pages, huh, not to mention that several magazines at Iwanami Bookstore have already worked hard. It’s a high-quality work, but every issue still has to excerpt some works that can be regarded as passable. It can barely make up the number. There are only a few teachers who can stably produce high-quality works. Otherwise, why would Editor Mizushima follow so closely? Is Oda Sakunosuke reluctant?In addition, everyone is no longer the readers of the past. The previous issue of the "Blooming Flowers Award" directly enhanced their aesthetic ability, and now they all want to see excellent works, so as long as there are their works, then It will definitely be arranged, and the big deal is to push back the publication time of other people's works.

When Editor Mizushima left, he was even bouncing around, very happy.

However, before the May issue was released, the detective agency ushered in an unexpected guest.

"Master Ghost Lamp?" Seeing the sudden appearance of Ghost Lamp, the group of people were a little dazed. A month ago, Nakahara Chuya and Dazai Osamu met the furious Ghost Lamp in Kyoto. Your Excellency Ghost Lamp beat him fiercely with the mace in his hand. Turned over a group of monsters and a group of onmyojis, beat them all to pieces, and then took them all away in a car.

Lord Ghost Lantern's actions almost shocked everyone's jaws. Afterwards, when Osamu Dazai went to submit the report to Scepter4, the Blue King Po looked at Osamu Dazai meaningfully, and casually mentioned things about Kyoto.

It's not that Osamu Dazai doesn't want to play with the Blue King. After all, if he really succeeds in teasing the Blue King, it would be a good thing.But considering his membership of the Armed Detective Agency and the fact that the other party is the leader of Scepter4, he finally admitted where the last person who appeared during the Kyoto incident came from in a joking way.

The ghost lamp should not mind that they reveal the things about hell to others. On the contrary, he really hopes that more people will know the existence of hell. In this way, more people should be in awe of the world and less To do or not to do things that can easily lead to hell?

It is a pity that the awe of hell in this world has become less and less, and even if more people know the existence of hell, they will not curb their evil deeds, leaving the ghost lamp helpless.

Ghost Lamp didn't come alone this time, he also brought Rimbaud who seemed to be drained dry by his side, and Verlaine who came with Rimbaud after seeing the two of them while visiting the flower shop.

"Mr. Ghost Lantern, what is the purpose of this visit?" Fukuzawa Yukichi put his hands in his sleeves and asked seriously while Yukichi the big cat was serving them tea.

"It's nothing special." Ghost Lantern looked at him seriously, "It just took a while for Rimbaud to find another world."

Rimbaud was sitting on the reception sofa beside him, his whole body seemed to have faded, leaving only black outlines and an unpainted body. There was still a soul floating in his mouth, and the soul was struggling with the body. Connected together, as if they could fly out at any time.

Verlaine on the side looked pitifully, and couldn't help but peeled a toffee from the candy box on the coffee table and stuffed it into Rimbaud's mouth.

"Come back to life..." After eating the sugar, Rimbaud finally swallowed the soul that spit out from his mouth. He sat up with difficulty, grasped the teacup that was just poured over, and felt the just-right temperature of the teacup— —Because he was worried that Rimbaud would immediately clink the cup with his hand, Yuji Big Cat prepared him a thermos cup with an insulating layer on the outside—Ranbo let out a long breath.

As a Frenchman, Rimbaud's talents should have been focused on strikes and the pursuit of freedom. However, his luck was not very good. When he was young, he was trained by the French government as a spy, and he traveled outside all year round. , and finally lost his memory, but he fell in Japan, a country full of social animals. When he regained his memory and went to France, he could not be reused for various reasons, but he succeeded in activating his own memory. talent points.

However, he hadn't enjoyed a few years of leisure in France before he came to Japan again, and this time it was more thorough, and he had to spend the rest of his time in Japan directly.

It would be fine if he was only a consulate staff in Japan, but he was also targeted by a terrifying ghost called Ghost Lantern.

Well, what else can be the result of being stared at by a ghost lamp?Can't they just be sent obediently and forced to squeeze?

And in order to squeeze him better, Ghost Lamp even managed to get Verlaine back from France.

Ghost Lantern wants to find another world, because Dazai and the others have been to a magical world that is said to have no reincarnation. In that world, there is also a special product called mantra. Ghost Lantern has a very vague definition of this world itself. He is very interested, and he has the coordinates and contact items given by Dazai in his hand, so as long as he finds a suitable teleportation method, it is not impossible to go there again.

It's just that the progress of this kind of research without any clues has always been slow, and the ghost lamp didn't have much hope at first. I hoped that such an incredible operation of traveling through time and space would be completed soon, so it lasted until March, which was originally in Before attending Zhongye's graduation ceremony, Rimbaud could still find a lot of time to fish.

However, last month, a very serious incident happened to the monsters in Kyoto. Because of this, many innocent people were killed and injured, and it was also implicated in a person who didn't want to be a ghost, insisted on being resurrected, and wanted to replace Seimei Abe. A strange evil ghost, and a large group of descendants that that evil ghost left in this world rely on inexplicable spells to keep alive.

This caused the workload of Ghost Lamp to skyrocket. However, it was precisely because of this group of guys who had been fooling around since the beginning of April that they gave Ghost Lamp an inspiration to break through the world wall, but because it was really just an inspiration, So in order to turn his inspiration into reality, after quickly disposing of the Gomonin clan and that Nue, he began to hold Rimbaud and do experiments crazily.

The most frustrating thing about Rimbaud is that the ghost lamp comes to him every time after get off work, and without much nonsense, catches him and runs to the experimental area built between the other world and the present world.

Even if he was fishing at work, Rimbaud, who couldn't do skipping work, learned the skill of skipping work without a teacher after being caught by a ghost lamp for several days in a row at night. Ben, Rimbaud, who has been busy for many consecutive nights, will definitely lie down unbearably the first time he goes to work. He is so tired that he almost wants to let himself go.

Verlaine also went to visit him before, and when he saw that his face seemed to be suffering from kidney deficiency, he even asked him if he was so playful that he hurt his body. In the end, Rimbaud only looked back at him. , said with difficulty, "I have been cooperating with Master Ghost Lantern for three consecutive nights in the experiment", and then he passed out as soon as he tilted his head. Verlaine almost exclaimed the doctor for help.

——Afterwards, Verlaine only felt that Rimbaud was really reliable, and he didn't say what he said about pantothenic acid at that time, otherwise what was waiting for him was probably the mace from the ghost lamp and the invitation to assist in the experiment.

Just like this, he frantically squeezed out people with spatial abilities for a month—oh, did you think he was just squeezed out of Rimbaud?Too naive, of course, Master Ghost Lantern is a mature adult who always wants everything, so there are still a large number of monsters and ghosts with space abilities who have been squeezed out—Ghost Lantern finally succeeded in combining his experimental inspiration with Rimbaud's labor results. Combined, a cross-world teleportation device was created, although it was fairly stable, but there was no way to be absolutely sure where the opposite was.

Most of the composition of this device comes from metaphysics, and the people in the maintenance class said that they are ready, and it will not be easily damaged, so the ghost lamp is still willing to try it.He was ready to go, but after thinking about it later, he felt that if he really brought something like an advertising paper as a coordinate locator, it would be better to bring a cat.

So he came to the Armed Detective Agency, and when Yujimao brought tea, he grabbed the big cat's furry pad with one hand, "Let's go, Yujimao, let's go to another world to see look!"

"Mr. Ghost Lantern intends to invite Yukichi to another world? Why didn't you invite us?" Osamu Dazai ran out quickly, and said in a serious manner.

"Tell me, what are the conditions?" Gui Deng didn't want to mess with this kid, so he asked directly.

"There are no conditions or anything. Strictly speaking, I also want to go back to that world to have a look. After all, I don't know if Gojo-kun has followed my plan to kill all the upper-level people in the magic world. The magic world reshuffled.
