Heroic Spirit Transformation System 2

Chapter 31 You’ll know everything at just one glance

"Good evening~ I didn't expect to see the target being solved. I'm lucky."

With this greeting, the young man who had applauded before walked from the darkness into the dim light.

Holmes's spotlight had long since been turned off, and now the light source came from nearby residents who had been awakened by the sound of fighting.

But probably because the mafia is rampant, the Hong Kong and Mafia Building is even a landmark building, and the folk customs in Yokohama are relatively simple. During this period, no one poked their head out to check the situation. They all took a look through the glass window in a disciplined manner, and found that they were suspected of being aliens.

Ability fights - or people who don't know the existence of superpowers are confused as to why someone carries so many spotlights - in short, although the level of the fight between Qiye and Hyde just now can only be regarded as a novice pecking among heroic spirits, but

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is already very cruel, and everyone just wants to wait quietly for the end.

Now, the alley has returned to quietness, so much so that when Qiye bent down to pick up the windbreaker that had been thrown aside because it got in the way during the fight, the sound of the fabric rubbing against it could be heard clearly.

Qiye put the windbreaker on his left arm, then touched the pocket of the windbreaker with his right hand, looking for something while talking and walking towards the young man.

"No, we both know it's not luck."

He walked up to the other party, spread the locator in the palm of his hand and showed it to the other party: "If I guess correctly, this should be yours, right? Give it back to you."

Because one of Holmes' skills is the ability to change his body, Qiye adjusted his appearance to look like he was in his mid-twenties so that when using other Heroic Spirit Cards, he would not be suspected because his age was too close.

Dazai Osamu, the guy who came in a hurry and only watched the tail end of the battle, took the locator without changing his expression, and even shamelessly questioned: "Thank you, but if I remember correctly, this thing is mine."

To another, Mr. Holmes."

"Oh?" Qiye raised his eyebrows pretendingly, "You know me."

Osamu Dazai said seriously: "I have read Dr. Watson's records."

Look at this person's contemporary clothes, and the phrase "this is just basic reasoning" he heard just now... combined with the locator he originally placed on the 'book' appears in this place, and Jekyll & Hyde are

It was too easy for him to come to the conclusion that "this young man is Sherlock Holmes who came out of the book" based on the incident that he came out of the 'book', as well as other trivial clues.

As for the trivial matter of why the novel was written about British people, but the other party was speaking Japanese, Dazai Osamu understood just by looking at the other party's mouth shape that it didn't match the Japanese he heard, and there was no need to ask anything.

"There's no need to be so tactful." Qiye shook off the dust from his windbreaker and put it on again to hide his embarrassed look, "I know I'm just a character in the book."

The description of the characters in the "book" can be understood as either a novel character or a "person" created by the "book" in Yokohama that can make anything he writes come true.

Although Sherlock Holmes in the Xingyue world does exist, it does not affect Qiye's character creation in this world.

Otherwise, what kind of "Sherlock Holmes" did he read to Osamu Dazai before? Wasn't it just to prevent this moment from happening! Facts have proved that leaving more escape routes for yourself really works!

"...As expected of Mr. Holmes." Dazai Osamu showed a rare expression of surprise, but he quickly thought of a possibility, so he immediately tried, "That person just now was Jekyll... No, Hyde...

Right? Has he returned to the 'book'?"

When he came, the battle was coming to an end, but Osamu Dazai did see the scene of Jekyll & Hyde turning into golden particles and disappearing, and some of the golden particles flew towards the surviving side, and Mr. Holmes was still concerned about the gathering.

What did the golden particles in his palm say...

"Of course." Qiye followed Dazai Osamu's guess very well, "I just showed up to deal with him. I hope to solve it quickly."

Dazai Osamu understood that this "nursery rhyme" refers to "book", because when he saw "book" for the first time, the cover did look like a nursery rhyme, and it was indeed incomplete to refer to it as "book".

It turns out that nursery rhymes can also summon the people in the book to come out, but it turns out that as mentioned before, it doesn't work anymore. It means that only the ones written now are useless. Can the ones written before still be used?

Also... it won't work if the protection agency is too weak after being personified. It's normal for the once-so-powerful 'Book' to be personified and not only have the ability to enter dreams.

Dazai Osamu didn't ask where the 'book' was now, because he knew that Holmes would never tell him. It was purely a coincidence that he found the 'book' before. No wonder the group offered a heavy reward to Nakajima Atsushi. That guy might be particularly easy to encounter.

to 'book'...

But if the 'book' is gone...

Dazai Osamu's mind was slightly moved, and he waited for Qiye to put on his windbreaker, and then asked: "The detective agency originally gave me the task of finding Jekyll and Hyde, but I didn't expect that Mr. Holmes solved it. I'm really grateful to you, but

It’s hard for me to explain the situation now when there’s not even a body…”

In fact, with the qualifications of an armed detective agency, the police will generally not pursue this matter if it is reported. After all, for a person with superpowers, anything can happen. He just wants to find a reason to keep the other party.

Qiye knew the elegant meaning of the song after hearing it. It was better to say that it suited him, so he quickly replied: "No problem, I will go to the detective agency with you to testify."

"Thank you very much." Dazai Osamu smiled brightly, "But it's already very late now, and there's no one in the detective agency. If you don't have a place to stay, you can stay in my dormitory first."

This is what Qiuye has been waiting for! He can finally sleep on the bed! He even considered that if Osamu Dazai didn't arrive in time, he would go out and have fun...

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

***

The next day, everyone in the Armed Detective Agency saw that the table belonging to Osamu Dazai was still empty, and when they thought he was going to be lazy again, Osamu Dazai came to the door with his guests.

"Mr. Dazai!" Atsushi Nakajima was overjoyed. "Mr. Kunikida was just asking about the progress of the serial murder case! I couldn't get through to your cell phone..."

Osamu Dazai said in a relaxed tone: "That matter has been resolved."

Atsushi Nakajima was shocked: "What?! It's been solved? So fast?"

Obviously Mr. Dazai only went to the witness's house at noon yesterday to inquire, spent a long time reading novels at the detective agency in the afternoon, and went out in the evening, but he actually solved it today! As expected of Mr. Dazai!

The detective agency was very busy yesterday, but it was much less busy today. So much so that Kunikida Doppo, who had his head down writing accounts, clearly heard the conversation at the door. He raised his head with a stern face and looked at Dazai Osamu who was walking over suspiciously:

"Is it really solved?"

"Of course, when have I ever joked about this kind of thing?"

Kunikida Doppo felt the same way. Although the efficiency this time was incredibly high, for such a serious case involving human life, Dazai Osamu would not be too perfunctory, otherwise it would be simply crazy.

"It wasn't Dazai who solved it." Edogawa, who was eating snacks, said vaguely, "He went to do other things yesterday, and the person he brought with him was the one who solved the case."

Compared with Dazai Osamu's credibility, Kunikida Doppo immediately chose to trust Edogawa Ranpo. Dissatisfied veins burst out on his forehead: "Dazai, you guy-"

Dazai Osamu waved his hands ruthlessly: "I only said that the matter was resolved. I didn't say that I solved it in the first place, right?"

Kunikida recalled it alone, it was true!

"Then this is no reason for you to take credit from others!"

As Kunikida Doppo spoke, he looked at the person Dazai Osamu brought and found that the other person was still talking to Nakajima Atsushi at the door.

He was a foreign young man with a handsome appearance and a somewhat British elegance. When Kunikida Doppo was observing him, he turned his head and smiled at him from a distance. But for some reason, Kunikida Doppo always felt that the other person was looking at him.

Somewhat familiar.

"I'm not taking any credit." Dazai Osamu here said innocently, "I'll tell you when I introduce you later."

Kunikida ignored Dazai Osamu's words, quickly finished writing the account, and stood up to receive the people Dazai Osamu brought.

"Sorry for the long wait, I am Kunikida Doppo from the Armed Detective Agency." Kunikida Doppo adjusted his glasses, "I wonder what you want to entrust?"

Qiuye said in a gentle tone: "I am Sherlock Holmes, I am just here to give evidence to Mr. Dazai."

Kunikida was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know the specific situation, he still invited Nanaya to sit down first before talking.

For some reason, Edogawa Ranpo, who usually had no interest in customers at all, actually followed him and sat next to Kunikida Doppo with a lollipop in his mouth. When member Tanizaki Naomi was serving tea to the guests, he looked

Everyone looked surprised at this scene.

Kunikida Doppo was also puzzled for a moment, but he didn't pay much attention. His focus now was only on whether it was true that Dazai said that the serial murder case was over.

"it is true."

Of course, Nanaya will not play haphazardly in this kind of thing. Opposite him is Edogawa Ranpo, who clearly has no supernatural powers, but his observation ability can be called a bug!

Therefore, every word Qiye said was extremely sincere: "I was also entrusted by (the system) to handle this matter, so I waited for him yesterday on his only way."

"...Hyde?" Kunikida Doppo, who still didn't know that Jekyll and Hyde were the same person, or even the murderer himself, was stunned, "Is he the criminal? Then Jekyll..."

"Dr. Jekyll has a split personality." Qiye said, "Hyde is his evil personality and has control of the body. During my fight with Hyde, Dr. Jekyll has been working hard to help me. He is an upright person.

people."

"Ah..." Unexpectedly, there was such an inside story in the case. Kunikida Doppo's expression became very regretful, "Then is it still Hyde who controls the body now?"

Speaking of this, Qiye also showed a look of regret: "No, actually... he is already dead."

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Kunikida calmed down and said, "So Mr. Holmes, did you kill the doctor?"

Although he was a murderer, he still had a life. He was killed by a foreigner. The police don’t know what to say. But depending on the specific situation, they can use the name of the Armed Detective Agency to help. After all, you can’t let a good person be cold.

Heart.

"It's not killing." Edogawa Ranpo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Is that Jekyll or something like a supernatural being?"

Qiye said with a smile: "Exactly."

Osamu Dazai said with emotion: "As expected of Mr. Ranpo, you guessed it right at once!"

"Ah, is that so?" Kunikida Dupo adjusted his glasses and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "But if it is a superpower, there should be a source. The one who made Jekyll and Hyde appear in this world..."

Qiye's quick answer: "(After being recycled by me) he is no longer in this world."

It’s not that there are powers that can continue to exist after death if certain conditions are met. Although it’s amazing that powers can also split personalities, Kunikida Doppo didn’t continue to question this point, but nodded, indicating that he understood: "

I understand, then let’s continue back to the event record... You were entrusted to deal with Hyde, and then you ambush him on his only way..."

Kunikida Doppo hesitated for a moment: "Is there something omitted? How do you know where Hyde will pass by?"

Qiye looked calm.

"Don't you know everything about this kind of thing just by looking at it?"
