I don't want to be an elf!

Bandage Three, who was originally hiding in the shadows and didn't want to show his face, jumped out eagerly after hearing his words: "Could it be that you have lost your mind? A deal with Nightmare can never be a win-win situation, she will only win twice! "

"In that case, it's the best judgment I can make."

"Ranpo, no matter what deal you make, never abandoning your companions is the bottom line of the Armed Detective Agency, and even you can't cross the bottom line."

"Don't worry, when did I say that I abandoned the newcomer."

Faced with everyone's confusion, Edogawa Ranpo explained what had just happened and the details of the transaction with Kurumi Tokisaki.

After knowing his plan, Fukuzawa Yukichi's heavy expression looked a little better.

After that, Osamu Dazai told the members of the Left Behind Detective Agency the information he had just obtained from Bandage Three, and the two sides exchanged information.

"Interesting, could it be that the reason why Nightmare and the group are fighting has something to do with her past?"

Edogawa ran in thought, looked at Tokisaki aside: "Hey, do you know anything?"

"I have never had any contact with the group."

"It's really useless, no wonder the main body doesn't see you as a threat at all." Edogawa Ranpo said with a sigh, "It seems that the Nightmare guy really thinks that leaving you here won't have much impact on her plan. "

"Nonsense! I am the worst enemy of Nightmare!"

"You call yourself one, right?"

"How dare you say that!"

The two began to bicker, arguing like elementary school students.

But the tension gradually disappeared.

At least, it didn't fall into the worst situation.

At least, they still had a chance to get Atsushi Nakajima back, and none of the members lost their lives protecting him.

Although it is a risky move to temporarily hand over Atsushi Nakajima to Tokisaki Kurumi and the combination, it is indeed the best one among the choices.

Next, they only need to wait for the information of which transport ship and transport line Atsushi Nakajima is from from Tokisaki Kuangsan, and they can start the task of rescuing Atsushi Nakajima.

Until then, they can only wait patiently.

At the same time, two figures stood on the building opposite the armed detective agency, witnessing everything that happened in the open-air detective agency.

Looking at Bandage Three wrestling with Edogawa, one of them, a girl with a rose headdress and a black hair shawl, couldn't help sighing, "Fortunately, I was the second one to be summoned, so I don't have to suffer. "

"I heard from Clone One that Bandage Three was insane. I thought she was just exaggerating, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Another girl who was dressed in pure white Lolita and looked pure and elegant said with a sigh on her face: "Fortunately, I was the third one to be summoned, so I don't have to suffer any sins."

If Ango Sakaguchi was here, he would be able to tell at a glance that the first girl was the Nightmare clone, Blindfold Three, who had talked with him.

Standing next to Eyepatch Three is another Four Heavenly Kings, Loli Three, who was accidentally summoned when the main body was preparing for the future battle with the combination in the shadow space a few days ago and summoned more clones.

However, Loli San was obviously lucky.

The first Bandage Three that was summoned is still living in hell, and the second Blindfold Three that was summoned, although the work difficulty is not as high as Bandage Three, is more than other ordinary clones.

And Loli San has no job.

These days, just like other ordinary clones who have no tasks, she is either playing cards with others in the shadow space, or traveling and sightseeing in Yokohama or surrounding cities.

Compared to Bandage Three, who is unhinged under pressure, it's living in paradise.

It was also because of this that she was so sad seeing Bandage Three's current state.

After all, if she was the first to be summoned, then she would take Bandage Three's place.

Thinking that she might be the one pretending to be crazy among these detectives, Luoli San couldn't help but shudder.

"Well, although there is no way to tell Bandage Three directly, the good news is that we should be able to complete the main quest soon, and when the main quest is completed, she won't need to play it anymore." Blindfold Three said, "Next, just We need to wait for the detective agency to stop Atsushi Nakajima, who has been shipped out to sea, and wait for the group's reaction."

"But this guy doesn't seem to be fully trusted by the Armed Detective Agency." Luo Lisan said hesitantly, "So far, no one has regarded her as a member of the Detective Agency, right?"

"That's true... After all, her task is indeed hell-level difficulty, give her more time."

"How about you go and help her?"

"Me? How can I help?" Blindfold Three asked suspiciously.

"Hmph, although we are all alone, it's still clear to the bystanders."

Loli San showed a fox-like smile.

"For example, you can do this..."

Chapter 77 There is no kinder elf than me.

the next day.

After Tokisaki Kurumi brought the bounty target back to the Port Mafia, Mori Ogai immediately contacted the group.

The port mafia made a phone call with the combination, saying that Atsushi Nakajima had arrived and could deliver the goods at any time, and the combination immediately notified the ocean-going cargo ship that was docked at the Yokohama wharf early in the morning to prepare to set sail.

After some documents were signed and the right to leave the port was obtained, the port mafia handed over Atsushi Nakajima to the person in charge of the group here.

After confirming that the target of the bounty was correct, the leader of the combination handed over half of the bounty amount, which is 35 billion U.S. dollars, to Mori Ogai.

As for the other half, it will be handed over to Mori Ogai after the group actually receives Atsushi Nakajima.

But in Tokisaki Kurumi's view, the deal between the two organizations is over.

Because Mori Ogai will never get the remaining 35 billion.

At this moment, in the cargo compartment of the ocean-going ship bound for North America, Atsushi Nakajima, whose hands and feet should have been bound, was moving freely.

Although the space is small and stuffy, even if you can move around, there is not much space, but it is much better than being tied up.

"Nightmare, you will keep your promise, right?"

Through the sunlight coming in from the window, Atsushi Nakajima stared at Tokisaki Kurumi, who was sitting calmly on the wooden box and neatly manicuring his nails with a nail file, feeling anxious.

Although Edogawa Ranpo made a deal with her, in Atsushi Nakajima's heart, Tokisaki Kurumi is the chaotic evil among the chaotic evils, and it is not surprising when he unilaterally breaks the contract.

What's more, the initiative is now in the hands of Tokisaki Kurumi, if she really wants to break the contract, no one can stop her.

Tokisaki Kurumi glanced at him casually, then continued to trim his nails.

"Mr. Nakajima, you can think I'm cunning, but please don't think I'm dishonest, okay?"

"Have you notified the Armed Detective Agency?"

"of course."

"But you've been here all the time! You haven't even made a phone call!"

"Hey, have you forgotten that I have a clone?"

"Oh... oh oh."

Atsushi Nakajima lowered his head in embarrassment.

Because he was caught by the port mafia, he spent a night in the dungeon, and was dragged to this ship early in the morning. The tossing all the way made his spirit a little sensitive.

But even with Tokisaki Kurumi's affirmation, his hanging heart still didn't let go.

As time passed, Atsushi Nakajima felt more and more uneasy.

The mobile phone was taken away, and there was no clock in the storage room. In this situation where there is no concept of time, every second feels like a year.

The narrow space and isolated atmosphere made Atsushi Nakajima pacing restlessly, sometimes mumbling something, sometimes squatting on the ground with a pale face, sometimes closing his eyes and holding his head tightly.

From the moment he left the Armed Detective Agency, he had lost his sense of security.

Although Atsushi Nakajima did believe that his companions would come to rescue him, what if they got lost?What if you don't catch up?What if someone stops you?

If that kind of thing really happened, and he continued to sail all the way to North America, what kind of treatment would be waiting for him?

Thinking of this, his body couldn't help shivering.

"Simply, it's like a puppy that was discarded."

Tokisaki Kurumi sighed, threw the nail file into the shadow, put his hand on his cheek and said with a half-smile: "But I'm a cat pie, if you want to pretend to be pitiful to get my pity, it's probably impossible. "

"I don't have such a plan..." Atsushi Nakajima looked at Tokisaki Kurumi resentfully, "What's more, I don't think you are kind enough to have the feeling of pity."

"This is really a big misunderstanding. I didn't expect Mr. Nakajima to have such hostility towards me even though I haven't met a few times."

Tokisaki Kurumi clasped his hands in front of his chest as if praying, blinked his big shiny eyes, and looked like an innocent girl: "Actually, when I see an injured cat on the side of the road, I will give it to you." The kind of people it treats."

"Hmm...do you think I believe it?"

"I'm very kind. There is no kinder supernatural being than me in this world."

"Kind people generally don't say they are kind!"

Atsushi Nakajima resisted the urge to roll his eyes and complained.

If I hadn't been caught by her, looking at this innocent look, maybe I would really believe it.

But under the influence of Osamu Dazai and the others every day, the image of Tokisaki Kurumi in Atsushi Nakajima's heart is not much better than that of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and to some extent it is even more frightening.

However, seeing the girl in front of him put on such an expression, Atsushi Nakajima's eyes widened slightly.

In his mind, the face of the second-year girl who had been in contact with him several times, the face of Bandage San and Tokisaki Kurumi gradually overlapped.

Edogawa Ranpo is really right.

Bandage Three is just Tokisaki Kurumi's past self.

"A little more relaxed?"

No more innocence, Tokisaki Kurumi's expression quickly returned to the elegant indifference he was familiar with: "That's good, I don't want to see a mentally disturbed Nakajima when the people from the Armed Detective Agency come to pick you up Dun, otherwise my reputation will be lowered again."

The two faces that overlapped in Atsushi Nakajima's mind no longer matched in an instant.

Maybe it was because he wanted to relieve the panic and anxiety of being in the sea, or because he was curious about the other party's past, Atsushi Nakajima cheered up and took the initiative to talk to Tokisaki Kurumi.

"That girl... I mean, the girl you chased and killed before, is your clone?"

"So you already know it? Well, yes. If you can't even deduce this, the Armed Detective Agency is too unworthy of its name."

"She's your old self, right?"

"Hehe, although I don't really want to admit it."

"So, why do you want her to stay in our club?" Atsushi Nakajima asked puzzled, and couldn't help asking this question that even Edogawa Ranpo couldn't answer.

"Because she was sent by me, and she stayed in your company to prepare to defeat you with internal and external cooperation." Tokisaki Kurumi replied casually.

"No, that's not the case." Atsushi Nakajima shook his head and said, "Mr. Ranpo said, with your strength, there is no need to send clones to the armed detective agency as spies, and you can defeat us directly by strength. Originally, I thought Mr. Ranpo is a bit exaggerated, but after seeing those twenty clones yesterday, everyone is sure that Mr. Ranpo is right."

The curiosity in his eyes became more and more intense, and he even temporarily put his restlessness and anxiety behind him.

"Miss Nightmare, can you tell me the reason?"

Chapter 78 Is Nightmare a good guy...?

Nakajima Atsushi's heart was pounding, and he nervously swallowed his excessive saliva.

He behaved so naturally that even Tokisaki Kurumi didn't realize that he was actually pretending to be calm.

Yes, although it seemed like he had nothing to say to pass the time, the question just now was decided by Atsushi Nakajima after careful consideration.

The seniors of the Armed Detective Agency have been worrying about not having any information about Nightmare.

But now, he had the opportunity to be alone with Nightmare. If he couldn't grasp the opportunity and let time pass in vain, it would be too wasteful.

Although in his bones, he is still the timid, cowardly and introverted child of the orphanage, but he has also worked in the armed detective agency for nearly two months. If there is really no Zhang Jin at all, wouldn't it mean Dazai Is there a problem with your eyesight?

He couldn't live up to Osamu Dazai's kindness in recommending him to join the club.

Nor can he live up to the time and energy invested by the seniors of the Armed Detective Agency.

Therefore, even if his heart was flustered, his legs were shaking, and every word he said to the heinous nightmare seemed to be one step closer to death, he still had to act.

"According to Mr. Ranpo and Mr. Dazai's reasoning, it seems that when we 'ran into' Miss Nightmare chasing and killing that girl, it was not a simple encounter, but a scene where Miss Nightmare deliberately asked us to save her. Let us take her in."

"Yes, that's true. My purpose is to lurk her into the Armed Detective Agency."
