Has Mr. Shenshang submitted the manuscript today?

Chapter 18

monster?

Shen Shangshuo looked past the overly round figure and looked behind the woman.It was a narrower and longer street, and the dark corners of the street looked deeper and darker against the backdrop of the lights on both sides. It was so blurry that it was impossible to see any ferocious beasts that would choose to devour people.

Shenshang Shuo looked at the black shadow in confusion, and he couldn't see anything unusual when he looked left and right, "Mr. Ranpo..."

"I seem to have encountered something interesting." At some point, the young man opened his eyes, and the green colors overlapped with the flickering lights, which was amazingly beautiful. "Come on, little god, let's go and have a look."

"Ah? Wait, wait, Mr. Ranpo, in case there is any danger--" This is Kamisaku Sakuya, Akira.

"It's okay, nothing will happen, nothing will happen. Go and have a look!" This is Mr. Ranpo who showed amazing strength and dragged Shen Shangshuo away.

Walking straight towards the collapsed figure, he opened his mouth and said, "Auntie, what did you see?"

"What kind of aunt... Where did the brat come from?" The woman on the ground, who was still in shock, retorted subconsciously when she heard these words.

"Obviously she's an aunt, why don't people call you old at such a young age?" Luanbu curled his lips a little aggrieved, and looked at the embarrassed woman more carefully, "Oh, it turns out that it's because she's so old..." You can't be called aunt if you can't get married?

Yet the words were not taught to the woman to hear.

Luanbu opened his round cat pupils, and looked at Shenshang Shuo in disbelief—the hand covering his mouth, perhaps because the owner just took the dessert, the fingers smelled sweet and sweet, with a hint of sweetness. It smells like honey.

"Hmm, um, um, um, um, eh?" Edogawa Ranpo made a series of voices that were comparable to garbled characters.

God, why are you covering my mouth?

Although Shenshang Shuo couldn't hear what Ranbu said clearly at this time, it didn't prevent him from understanding the meaning of the sentence. He pursed his lips, "Mr. Ranbu, I always feel that you are going to say something terrible. Subconsciously..." He paused, felt the warm touch from the palm of his hand, and his palm trembled suspiciously, "I did it."

His voice is getting softer in this sentence, the last syllable is almost dissipated in the air.After realizing what he had just done, the numb sense of shame trembled all the way up from the tailbone, making him tremble all over, the rosy color fainted from the snow-white fingertips, and they rubbed intimately under the eyes.

"me……"

"Hurry up and put your hands down, that's the right thing to do!" After waiting for a long time, the person in front of him consciously put down his hands, struggled away angrily, and walked forward on his own.

At this time, the crowd had rushed up in a swarm, and they even spun around with Shen Shangshuo. Someone recognized the identity of the woman sitting on the road, and shouted loudly,

"Isn't this the proprietress of the izakaya?"

"What's going on here?"

Only then did the woman wake up from a big dream, and muttered in a state of panic when she was fished out of the water, "Just now, a cat just spoke!"

She repeated ramblingly, her tone could not stop being suspicious, "It seems to be saying something, 'Bring the wine, Natsume, I want to drink something', and 'I don't understand, why don't you drink, Natsume. 'some type of."

"What, don't you drink too much and have hallucinations."

"I didn't!" She turned her lower body violently, concentrating on recalling in horror, "It seems to be a very fat three-colored cat... No, is there really such a fat three-colored cat?"

"The more you talk about it, the more bizarre it becomes, Madam Boss."

"No, no, no," the middle-aged woman shook her dough-like head, "I remembered—that cat has its owner! Beside it is a tender-looking young man, who is not very old, about Teenage?"

"Look, you're talking nonsense after drinking too much, why did you make up a child?"

The crowd laughed and didn't believe what she said at all. They all agreed that the proprietress drank too much alcohol today and became unconscious.He casually hugged and went forward to clean up the filth around the woman, and said a few words of relief from time to time, shaking his head.In the end, even the proprietress couldn't believe what she saw, and went home feeling her head.

The god who witnessed all this turned his head hesitantly, "Mr. Ranpo..."

Is Mr. Ranpo still angry?

"Although I'm very unhappy now, since you're asking the question so earnestly, I'd better answer you." Luanbu held his bulging cheek, "What the aunt said was true, and it turned out In the end, I didn’t believe it anymore, what?”

"Is the cat that speaks the truth?" Shen Shangshuo frowned slightly, and looked at Ranpo worriedly, "Is it a supernatural person? Could it be related to the case we are investigating? Do you want to..."

"Forget it," Luanbu bit the two of them hard on purpose, and dragged on, "I can't even catch up now, and the pursuit work is not within the scope of a detective's work."

"Then I... go after it?"

"What are you chasing, my god! That's not a prisoner! Come back to the hotel with me to sleep, it's already too late."

"Listen to you." Since he is not a prisoner, there is no need to chase him.It might be a prank by a supernatural being.No matter, it's getting late, and it's time for Mr. Ranpo to go to bed.

The two walked back to the hotel.The hotel booked in advance is a relatively simple wooden structure, low and hidden in the night, the bushes behind are whispering intimately, and the insects can be faintly heard through the screen window.

"The night sky tonight is quite beautiful." Shen Shangshuo heaved a sigh of relief as if he had been saved, and raised Ranbu's hand above his head, "Mr. Ranbu, look, it's a night of stars."

Yingying's shallow light melted into the deep pool little by little, and a cold light scattered around him, showing a dreamlike color.

Shenshang raised his head and murmured softly, "The stars... are they singing?"

His tone was gentle, like a child just born with his head sticking out, there was a kind of pure joy, the tips of his hair brushed against the breeze, and the stars in his eyes emerged clearly.

Edogawa's footsteps were chaotic.

Looks much happier, my God.Luanbu sighed, and rarely refuted this naive fallacy, "Yes, very beautiful stars."

"Is this the first time Xiao Shenshang has seen such a beautiful starry sky?"

"It doesn't seem right to say that." Shen Shangshuo rubbed his forehead, "I've seen a beautiful starry sky before, and they are shining there, far, far away from me." He opened his palm childishly and held The arm hits the longest gesture.

"But the stars here, although they are also very beautiful, feel very close to me, as if I can grasp them with my hand." He moved his fingers, as if he wanted to touch the stars in the sky, "It is a kind of kind beauty. "

"Well... little God." Luanbu lay down on the ground, lying side by side with God to look at the stars.

Let me watch with you for a while.

Just a moment.

……

early the next day.The two got up early in the morning, took care of themselves, and headed for the distant mountains and forests.

The mountains and forests in Kumamoto Prefecture are in a good time when the business is flourishing, the vegetation is deep, and the fragrant smell is crowded and rushing from every corner, which is refreshing.

"Mr. Luanbu, be careful where you step." Shen Shangshuo brushed aside the low-hanging green branches in front of him. The soil under his feet was slightly damp and tended to be wet and slippery. Occasionally, a few bluestones would pop out of his round head abruptly.

"Well, my God, do you feel anything unusual?"

"An unusual place?" Shen Shangshuo looked back suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

"I..." Just as Luanbu spoke, there was a sudden "boom" [-] meters to the southwest.

"!" The two looked at each other and ran forward in unison.

Following the falling track of grass clippings and gravel, Shenshang Shuo landed lightly on a piece of grass, his left hand holding Chaobu's wrist, the latter was panting unevenly, bending his waist below the horizontal line,

"Huh...huh, God, please slow down a little bit." Like a kitten sticking out its tongue, Luanbu complained half-truthfully, "Really, Master Luanbu can't keep up gone."

"Feel sorry……"

"Hiss, I'm not blaming you!" Xu Xu added, squinting his eyes as he raised his face with a handkerchief to wipe away the fine sweat from his cheekbones to his chin.

"Well, I understand." The God replied softly, coaxing the unruly hair of a child to smooth out the knots after strenuous exercise.

"I always feel that the little god was absent-minded just now." Luanbu muttered in a low voice.

"I..." Shenshang Shuo was about to explain something when a clear voice cut off the conversation between the two of them.

"Wow, this really scared me, why did Mr. Moon Moon appear here!" The voice of the young man running over was clear and bright, which made people think of some birds flying in the sky for no reason.

"Miss Yue Yue?" Another male voice sounded at the right time, and the voice that was originally a bit gentle now seemed a little low because of anger, "Humans over there, are you an accomplice with this guy who wants to hurt you?"

What fell together with his words were the vines that broke out from the ground around Shen Shangshuo's body.

"I told you that it was an accident that I fell on that tree, and I didn't know there was a little girl on that tree." The young men in white clothes Shengxue turned around and stood in front of Shenshang Shuo, with a clear expression. The light of the knife flickered a few times, and cut off the winding vines, "Besides, it's also very interesting to have such a good scare, isn't it, the little girl in the back."

Shenshang Shuo, who was barely able to react, subconsciously looked behind the young man who was confronting them. It was a young girl who seemed to be in her prime.Wearing a pink and white long dress, the crimson laces are crossed on her lotus arms. The skirt looks like a flower bud and has a taste of just blooming. From the waist to the end, it changes from pure white to pink in a beautiful color. When spinning, it looks like a flower petal in full bloom.

At this moment, the little girl still had some fear on her pretty face, "This is so interesting, I was sitting upright, and suddenly a knife fell from the sky, what kind of fright is this! Anyone can be frightened!"

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I've caused you so much trouble." The young man apologized perfunctorily, then turned around, closed his clothes like some kind of white crane folded his wings, and turned his head to meet Shangshen Shangshuo's eyes, "Bi From this point of view, Mr. Yue Yue is more important."

The young man's eyes were full of unfeigned joy, and the joy of reuniting after a long absence made his golden eyes shine, "Why are you here?"

"This is really, a big shock, ah, isn't it a surprise."
