Heroic Spirit Transformation System 2

Chapter 22: This book will write a novel

The book moved?

Qiye immediately didn't dare to move.

Who is this person! Why can his subtle movements be detected?!

Listening to this description that was like a horror story, Nakajima Atsushi felt uncomfortable all over: "Mr. Dazai, did you read it wrong?"

"Hmm...probably." Dazai Osamu put down the lighter in his hand, responded absently, turned around and took out the computer, and quickly started to operate something on it with both hands.

Atsushi Nakajima felt like he couldn't ask anything from Osamu Dazai. When he turned around and saw Edogawa walking around very leisurely and eating snacks, he couldn't help but ask someone else - after all, he bought the book himself, so he did it like this

It’s mysterious and scary!

"Mr. Ranpo, do you know what this book is about?"

"I don't know." Edogawa Ranpo replied casually.

Atsushi Nakajima: "...Huh?! I don't know?!"

Even Yosano Akiko, who was just listening casually because she had nothing else to do, was surprised: "Mr. Ranpo, can't even you see anything?"

"I can't see it, I can't see it." Edogawa Ranpo sat on the swivel chair and spun around, "My [Super Reasoning] can only make inferences based on what has happened, but this book has not left a mark in this world.

Leave no trace."

Nakajima Atsushi felt uneasy: "Really, is there really no problem with this book? Wouldn't it be better to get rid of it..."

"Ah, but the fact that 'no trace was left behind' has actually explained something." Edogawa stretched his body and impatiently interrupted Nakajima Atsushi's questioning, "But to explain

It’s too troublesome, you go ask Dazai.”

Atsuka Nakajima was very interested in this matter and looked at Osamu Dazai together with Akiko Yosano.

Osamu Dazai was relatively cooperative: "This means that either this book was not in this world before, or it existed in a special form, and maybe it has some special abilities - I have heard nothing about this."

"What?" Atsushi Nakajima asked.

"A blank book, what is written on it will become reality... something like this."

Nakajima Atsushi suddenly remembered: "Could it be the one that the leader of the [Group] said he was looking for...but isn't it a blank book?"

Osamu Dazai laughed: "If that kind of book could be obtained so easily, wouldn't the Special Agent Division be extremely busy?"

"Really..." Atsushi Nakajima breathed a sigh of relief. It's not necessarily a good thing to get something that is fought for all day long. He didn't want to be rewarded again, "Mr. Dazai is scaring people again."

Osamu Dazai stood up: "But even if it's not that book, this book is quite interesting. Let me study it for a few days, Atsushi!"

"Of course." Atsushi Nakajima agreed, "But where are you going? Mr. Kunikida told you not to go out today..."

Dazai Osamu waved his hand: "I'll go downstairs to drink coffee——"

However, the person who said this turned back to the rooftop and dialed a number on his mobile phone.

After the call was dialed, the person on the other side was silent for a few seconds before speaking.

"It's rare that you take the initiative to contact me... tell me, what do you want to do, Dazai?"

Dazai Osamu smiled and said: "What you said is so ugly, Ango, can't I just have a chat with you?"

The man named Sakaguchi Ango naturally did not believe a word of this: "Although you are fine, I am very busy——"

"Hey? What are you busy with? Could it be that... something happened to the 'book'?"

"..." There was another period of silence on the phone. When Ango Sakaguchi spoke again, his tone was much lower, "What do you know? Could you have invaded the Special Agents Division..."

"Of course not." Osamu Dazai said confidently, "I'm just asking casually, and you don't need to answer. You can just listen - have your supernatural agents department ever obtained a 'book'?"

Sakaguchi Ango said nothing.

"But according to the character of the farming chief, he probably just tore off a page and studied it, and sealed the rest..."

"That's enough!" Sakaguchi Ango's tone sounded a little anxious, "This matter has nothing to do with you!"

Sakaguchi Ango hung up the phone.

But this is enough for Osamu Dazai to make a judgment.

He looked at the book in his hand with a very subtle expression.

After listening to the whole story and looking directly at Dazai Osamu's eyes, Nanaya said: "..."

He probably knew what Dazai Osamu had guessed.

To be honest, it is not a coincidence that the 'book' disappeared at this time, because——

The person who stole the ‘book’ is Qiye!

Of course, Qiye was not bored and stealing books to play with, but because the fragment of the Holy Grail of this world was on the 'book'.

If you think about it carefully, the saying "whatever is written on it will come true" sounds a lot like the all-powerful wishing cup "Holy Grail", so it is not surprising that it became the carrier of the Holy Grail fragments.

After he came to this world, he immediately noticed that the fragments of the Holy Grail were very close to the place where he landed, and he made a prompt decision to recover the fragments of the Holy Grail first.

Otherwise, if the Holy Grail fragments were left outside, it would be no surprise that anything would happen to them. They might constantly cause trouble for him, so its recycling priority is the highest.

Although there are supernatural powers in this world, Qiye, who has the system, can use much higher means than the supernatural powers. With mental arithmetic and no care, he successfully recovered the fragments of the Holy Grail, and the 'book' as a carrier also disappeared with it.

.

After getting the Holy Grail fragment, Qiye can relax half of his mind and concentrate on finding the heroic spirits he needs to kill in this world.

During this period, Qiye discovered a problem.

The currency he obtained in other worlds cannot be used in this world!

When he was in the previous world, even though he didn't have the money of Japan's Taisho period, the Demon Slayers came to him very quickly and proactively provided all kinds of needs, so he didn't have any financial worries for the time being.

He does have a lot of U.S. dollars on his hands. He got them when he was doing a mission in the United States in another world. Generally, U.S. dollars are universal around the world. Although there may be U.S. dollars with the same number, he does not count them as counterfeit coins, and the amount of money in circulation is

If it's less, it won't have any impact on the world at all, and it'll just stay like this.

But this world...

It’s no longer a matter of big names in the literary world not being writers. The history of this world is in a mess, which makes great people somewhat different from other worlds. The person chosen as the face on the banknotes is naturally different from the banknotes in his hands.

The money in his hand, if placed in this world, would be a counterfeit currency, or a counterfeit currency that was so fake that it looked like a joke...

The system was not responsible for sending him money, and Qiye didn't want to go out of his way to find a card with a prime rate just to make money, thus wasting a quota. In the end, in order to avoid having no place to live, Qiye came up with an idea——

It turned into a book and went on the bookshelf of the bookstore, so that I didn’t have to think about hotel expenses.

——He is so witty!

Qiye praised himself from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, Qiye didn't just use [Nursery Rhyme] just to save money. This Heroic Spirit Card can be turned into a book... Although this is indeed one of the main reasons... But in short! He has thought it over carefully!

Among the hostile spirits he is looking for in this world, one is the protagonist Jekyll and Hyde in the nineteenth-century novel "Dr. Jekyll".

Although they sound like two people, they are actually just the same heroic spirit with two personalities.

This novel is the first work in history to create a dual personality image. The protagonist's name, Jekyll and Hyde, was even a pronoun for "dual personality".

Dr. Jekyll is a just and kind man. He is troubled by the occasional not-so-kind thoughts in his heart and wants to separate the bad parts, so he prepares a medicine. Hyde, after taking the medicine he prepared,

The "evil" personality elicited is a cruel murderer.

No matter which personality is controlling the body at this moment, there is always a personality sleeping in the subconscious, and this is the entry point for Qiye to find someone this time.

Because the Heroic Spirit Card [Nursery Rhyme] has outstanding advantages in the dream world, it once brought many children into the dream world in the world of Super Heroes and refused to let them go. It took Qiye a lot of effort to recover the [Nursery Rhyme]

].

And as a nursery rhyme that embodies the concept of "children's heroes", although its form is not fixed and it has the skill of [Change A], it can change into many forms, but the main body is still a picture book for children...

Would anyone charge an overnight fee for a book!?

Of course it’s impossible!

Therefore, if it is transformed into a nursery rhyme, as long as Qiye maintains the form of a picture book, then he does not have to pay to stay in a hotel, and can also lie down and work, searching the dreams of people nearby to find Jekyll and Hyde.

This is simply a good strategy that kills two birds with one stone! Qiye doesn't know how his little brain came up with such a magical method! He wants to blow himself up!

Then I got my retribution after spending seven nights licking the bookshelves of the bookstore.

He fell into the hands of two of the most intelligent people in the world.

Although Nanaya likes smart people very much, because smart people will not miss his cues and automatically complete the script, but he is so smart that Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo are so smart that he feels that it is not possible...

Because it would take a lot of brain cells for him to write the script, and once his true origin is exposed, part of his combat effectiveness will be abolished, which is what he wants to avoid at all costs.

But now that it has fallen into the hands of the Armed Detective Agency, there is no other choice but to look at the situation... mainly based on Dazai Osamu and Ranpo's guesses, re-write the characters and scripts, and find a way to get by without exposing themselves.

…

Nanaya, who continued to pretend that she was a book, was taken back downstairs by Osamu Dazai.

As soon as Osamu Dazai entered the door, he saw Atsushi Nakajima heaving a sigh of relief: "Mr. Dazai! You came back just in time. Mr. Kunikida was about to call you..."

"Didn't you go to drink coffee?! Why didn't I find you... Forget it! Let's forget about it for now." Kunikida Doppo pushed up his glasses, "A new case, since you are so free, I will hand it over to you first.

.”

Dazai Osamu said "Hey": "I'm very busy..."

Kunikida Doppo ignored Dazai Osamu's excuse and directly recounted the details of the case: "It's about the recent murderer. Suddenly there are new clues. According to witnesses, a 'Jekyll' appeared in the mouth of the murderer.

The name of the person..."

Dazai Osamu suddenly felt the book in his hand shaking.

This time it was so obvious that Osamu Dazai couldn't even pretend not to notice it, so he opened the book out of curiosity——

He was surprised to find that the picture book, which was originally filled with childlike pictures and words, was now completely blank... No, it couldn't be said to be blank, because new words were emerging line by line.

"..."Dr. Jekyll"?"
