I don't want to be an elf!

After being kicked out of the orphanage, I finally found a warm shelter, but why am I being targeted again?

"Don, don't think too much."

Kunikida's strong hand pressed on Nakajima Atsushi's shoulder: "You are a member of the Armed Detective Agency, and we will never abandon you."

"However, Mr. Kunikida, how can we resist so many clones and the main body of the nightmare." Atsushi Nakajima asked in a trembling voice, "If all the members of the detective agency are here, maybe we still have hope of victory, but Dazai Sir, President Fukuzawa, Mr. Tanizaki and brother Miyazawa are not present, how can we resist them."

Kunikida Doppo opened his mouth, but couldn't give any answer.

Even he is helpless in the face of this situation.

Tokisaki Kurumi picked an excellent opportunity to attack the armed detective agency. In this case, they were unable to resist at all.

"Mr. Ranbu, what can you do?"

Unable to find a solution to the situation, Kunikida Doppo could only look at the trump card of the Armed Detective Agency with his last hope.

At this moment, thoughts were spinning rapidly in Edogawa Ranpo's mind.

Countless possibilities are intertwined, and in front of his powerful reasoning ability, relying on the one-sided information he knows, they finally converge into a plan.

Head-on confrontation is definitely not possible.

Even if everyone's ability is used to the maximum, it still cannot overcome the desperate suppression of numbers.

Then, there is only one choice left for him.

"You guys, are you willing to believe me?" Edogawa Ranpo opened his eyes, solemnly looking at the people around him.

"Of course, Mr. Ranpo is the trump card of the detective agency, and we will never doubt any of your decisions." Kunikida Doppo replied.

"I'm just a doctor, and I'll leave it to you to think about it. We'll do whatever you say." Yosano Akiko, who was holding a machete, said.

"Everyone believes in Mr. Ranpo, and I naturally believe in Mr. Ranpo." Atsushi Nakajima nodded with difficulty.

"Very well, I will take you through the deadlock... eventually."

Feeling the trust from his partners, Edogawa Ranpo took a deep breath.

He took the loudspeaker from Kunikida Doppo's hand and came to the window.

Countless pairs of eyes stared at him, and under tremendous pressure, he shouted: "Nightmare! Let's talk!"

"There's nothing to talk about, I just want Atsushi Nakajima."

"I know, that's why we want to talk." Edogawa Luanpo licked his dry lips, gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, "As long as you agree to our request, the detective agency can give up resistance and send the I will leave it to you."

"Oh? How interesting."

An inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of Tokisaki Kurumi's lips.

"Then, let's talk."

Chapter 75 Deal with the Detective Agency

After receiving the formal invitation, Kurumi Tokisaki got into the window of the Armed Detective Agency from the outside.

In fact, she didn't expect that the members of the Armed Detective Agency would have the guts to invite her into the office.

For them, in the face of such a numerical disadvantage, isn't what they need to do is to hold on to their position and wait for support?

As long as they can wait until the outgoing club members return, or reinforcements from the special agent agency arrive, their winning rate can be improved.

But... even if you add some more to the winning rate of zero, it is almost equal to zero.

It seems that Edogawa Ranpo also saw this, so he decided to negotiate with Tokisaki Kurumi.

She didn't mind giving Edogawa Ranpo a chance to speak.

After all, she didn't want to capture Atsushi Nakajima at first, the reason why she had to take the initiative today was because Mori Ogai gave her a deadline, in order not to get into trouble with this cheap boss, she came reluctantly here we go.

In the beginning, her plan was to wait until the group came to Yokohama in person, so that she could complete side mission two.

In addition, if the combination can come to Yokohama as she planned, it will also be of great help to her in completing the main task.

If you want to complete the main task and become Yokohama's nightmare, the fastest way is to use the influence of the combination.

But the current situation does not allow her to continue fishing. In desperation, she can only give up the first plan and switch to the second plan.

To capture Atsushi Nakajima, first put Mori Ogai in a perfunctory manner, and then apply to be the escort to escort Atsushi Nakajima to North America, and then beat up all the members of the group after going to North America.

Since the group can't come, then she will go.

Although it is a bit more troublesome and the risk is much higher, and you will be attacked by people with unknown powers in a strange country, it is still better than not being able to complete the mission.

As for the main task, she can only find other ways.

Therefore, Tokisaki Kurumi really had no intention of showing mercy when he attacked the Armed Detective Agency today.

But Edogawa Ranpo didn't know what way out he thought of in such a desperate situation. If he could propose a deal that was beneficial to Tokisaki Kurumi, then she would not be unable to agree.

"So, Mr. Edogawa, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Tokisaki Kurumi sat gracefully in front of the Armed Detective Agency group, ignoring the weapons in their hands, and asked calmly.

At the same time, this time, she was already ready to swap with her clone.

If this was a plan by the armed detective agency to catch the enemy, she would tell these detectives through actions that tricks are useless.

When he heard Edogawa Ranpo's proposal, Tokisaki Kurumi was going to send a clone in, which was safer. Even if the clone was wiped out, it only took a little more time to summon it again.

After all, if it was her body that died, then it would really be GG.

But then she thought about it, the Armed Detective Agency is not an evil force like the Port Mafia that uses killing as a daily activity. In the plot, it has never killed anyone, even the bad guys. There is no danger for the main body to go to the appointment. , so she came in person.

"Nightmare, I'll get straight to the point."

Edogawa Ranpo's face no longer had the fun smile of the past, replaced by the solemn expression of shouldering the life and death of his companions: "Your target is the North American supernatural organization, a combination, right?"

Hearing this, the corners of Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes twitched slightly.

Why does everyone know that my goal is to form a group?

Mori Ogai guessed it, and you also reasoned it out.

I thought I didn't leak much information to you. Mori Ogai guessed it. After all, we have been together for so long, and I have never met you. How did you reason it out?

Tokisaki was speechless. Although he knew Edogawa Ranpo's ability, he didn't expect him to be able to do it to this extent.

Edogawa Ranpo's ability, or the ability in the eyes of others, is called super reasoning.

However, what the outside world doesn't know is that Edogawa Ranpo actually has no special powers.

In this armed detective agency full of superpowers, he is the only ordinary person who can be said to have no power.

Super reasoning exists, but does not exist.

Because the so-called super reasoning is not his ability, but just a simple ability.

The reason why Edogawa Rampo is known as the greatest detective of this century is not because of his excellent abilities, but because of his reasoning and observation.

In this detective agency full of abnormalities, Edogawa Rampo is the one that is more abnormal than all abnormalities.

"It's really a bug-like deduction ability. Now I can only hope that one day he won't deduce that I am a time traveler."

Prayed in his heart, but Kami Tokisaki Kurumi nodded, agreeing with his words: "Yes, my goal is indeed a combination."

"Ever since Mori Ogai handed over the task of capturing Atsushi Nakajima to you, you haven't carried out the task once, which makes me feel strange. Today's sudden attack is because Mori Ogai gave you a deadline ,Right?"

"As you said."

"You originally planned to drag the group to Yokohama to catch people in person, but now you have to change your plan and plan to capture Atsushi Nakajima and use him as bait to lure the people from the group?"

"Basically, nothing wrong."

"In that case, I have a better proposal."

"Appreciate further details."

"Our Armed Detective Agency wants to know the reason why the combination offered a reward to Dunjun. I can make an arbitrarily claim to hand over Dunjun to you, but you must tell us which transport ship and route Dunjun will depart from. We will Intercept midway and rescue Dun Jun again."

"Hmm... a good plan. In this way, I completed the mission, Mori Ogai got the bounty, you rescued the human tiger, and only the combined injured world was completed."

Tokisaki Kyouzo nodded slightly and took over his words: "The group who got the news that Atsushi Nakajima was kidnapped will become angry after losing both people and money, and immediately rush to Yokohama. In this way, my goal has been achieved. .”

Reached an agreement with Edogawa Rampo, not only will the group come to Yokohama as in the original book, but the plan started by Tokisaki Kusan can also continue.

For her, it was a deal that was done without any harm.

The only thing worth worrying about is whether the group sent the final payment of the bounty to Mori Ogai when Atsushi Nakajima was robbed.

But this is not something Tokisaki Kurumi should worry about.

"When the group comes to Yokohama, we can even join forces to defeat the group. We just need to learn from them the reason for the reward for Atsushi." Edogawa Ranpo added, "And what you want to do has nothing to do with us. From now on, how about not disturbing the river if water enters?"

"I have to say that while you have extraordinary reasoning ability, you also have excellent eloquence." Tokisaki Kurumi said approvingly, "You have successfully aroused my interest, Mr. Detective, I can promise you Require."

Hearing Tokisaki Kurumi's words, everyone couldn't help showing a look of relaxation on their faces.

Finally, this deadlock was solved.

Of course, this transaction is still very risky for the Armed Detective Agency. After all, whether Atsushi Nakajima can be rescued depends entirely on whether Tokisaki Kurumi abides by the agreement.

However, even so, it is much better than the complete annihilation of the detective agency.

"Then, everyone, let us finish today's battle."

Tokisaki Kurumi took out two flintlock guns, and the clones outside were also suspended in the air: "Are you ready?"

"Why?" Nakajima Atsushi asked, "Didn't we already reach a deal?"

"Because Nightmare is going back to do business. The situation here must be monitored remotely by Mori Ogai. If you don't even fight, why don't you tell him clearly that Nightmare has reached a deal with us in private?" Edogawa Ranpo replied .

"Oh, that's it." Atsushi Nakajima put his mind back, "That means you have to act in a play, right?"

"Although it's just acting, I have to pretend to do it for real."

"Eh... what do you mean?"

"Dr. Yosano's ability is to restore half-dead people to their full state, right?"

Tokisaki Kurumi smiled gracefully, but the words that came out of his mouth made everyone present feel a chill behind their backs.

"Then, in order to prevent Dr. Yosano from being too exhausted later and beat everyone to death, let me do it for you."

Chapter 76 Doppelganger Four Heavenly Kings, Adding Another Great General

"Everyone! Are you okay?"

By the time Osamu Dazai and his party rushed back to the Armed Detective Agency, the battle was over.

Looking at the entire building that had been destroyed in front of them, the three of them ran up quickly, with more or less worried expressions on their faces.

They had tried their best to come here, and in order to arrive in the shortest time, they even asked Bandage Three to borrow their shadows to send them to the detective agency.

It's a pity that even if they arrived here in just 5 minutes, the overly one-sided battle ended in a shorter time.

When they arrived at the office, which had become an open-air ruin, they saw the members sitting on the ground with tattered clothes.

"Are you...all right?"

Osamu Dazai looked at his companions half in shock and half in doubt.

Although they all looked miserable, nothing seemed to be wrong with them.

Kunikida Doppo and Yosano Akiko were fine, but Edogawa Ranpo just lay on the ground like a salted fish. If he wasn't still breathing, Dazai Osamu would have thought something happened to him.

"Almost died, but I cured him."

Yosano Akiko disregarded her almost half-naked body, and said calmly: "That guy Mengmai is really ruthless in his attacks, if he says he won't show mercy, he really doesn't show mercy at all."

"This is the first time I have been beaten so badly."

Edogawa was lying in the ruins with a "big" character in his hand, and said in a bleak tone: "Obviously even my father has never beaten me."

"Sorry, President, Dun was taken away."

Kunikida Doppo stood up and bowed apologetically: "Facing the overwhelming number of people, we have no way of resisting, so we can only make such compromises."

"Kunikida, do you mean that in order to save everyone's lives, you handed Atsushi over to Nightmare?" Fukuzawa Yukichi's tone was questioning, and his expression became stern.

"Don't be so cruel to him, President." Edogawa Ranpo also sat up with support, "This is my idea, and I have reached a win-win deal with my nightmare."

"Deal? With that devil?!"
