Edogawa Satoru who wanted to be a detective is not a good sorcerer

Haibara used her connections to obtain a permit to go to Tokyo for an investigation, and checked the surveillance footage at the Sukiyaki restaurant where Edogawa Satoru had made a consumption record on July 7.

The computer reflects a blue arc, giving the face a dim, faint light.

Fast forwarding at twice the speed, she carefully looked for the white-haired person. The tall white-haired man on the screen was accompanied by three young men. This was not the person she was looking for, but when Edogawa Satoru appeared, he walked straight towards that person and sat next to him.

Then, she saw the "murderer" she was looking for suddenly burst into tears and was comforted by a group of people around him.

...Ah this.

Fast forward, fast forward, sliding the mouse, she wanted to know what Edogawa Satoru did afterwards and where he went after July 7.

Then on the screen, the white-haired man stood up, picked up the boy, and walked towards the door. Huihara Qi cut the screen, but the two people who should have appeared in another surveillance video disappeared.

After looking through it several times and finding nothing new, she couldn't help but throw the mouse away: "Damn it!"

She copied the surveillance footage and took it back to check, and her colleagues in the technical department told her that there was nothing wrong with the surveillance footage.

no problem?
No problem. Two people can disappear out of thin air?
Maybe it's a supernatural power. She pondered for a while, pointed at the three young men who were eating with the tall man in the surveillance video, and asked if it was possible to analyze their faces.

She still didn't give up and went to Tokyo again, but the surveillance cameras in front of the store and on the street were seriously damaged. It would be better to wait for the technical department than to spend time and energy on them.

She also went to the place where Wu had lived before, but unfortunately found nothing.

However, she soon got a new clue. The three teenagers who were traveling with her quickly found out the identity of one of them through facial recognition.

The boy's name is Yuji Itadori, and he is very famous in Sendai. He started his investigation and found that the three people were students of a religious college.

Then the tall guy should also be a student or a teacher?

Tokyo Metropolitan School of Jutsu.
This school has no publicity, no website, and no admissions information.

Most importantly, it is a closed four-year system.

Huiyuan Qi first reported the pyramid scheme, and then went to study the relationship between the white-haired man and Edogawa Satoru. According to the clerk, the two men should not know each other.

...Wait, Edogawa's parents are dead and his brother is missing, so could it be that Edogawa Satoru came to Tokyo to look for his relatives?

The more I look at them, the more I think they look alike, even though one of them is wearing a weird eye patch.

A blind person, or a supernatural power related to the eyes?
The hardworking Huiyuan Qi spread his hands and slowly exhaled. On his left hand was a thick stack of information he had found in the past few days, and on his right hand was a collection of Yokohama ghost stories.

"Why do you think people die?"
"Let's put it another way. How do people live?"
"One last question. Do you know the secret of Yokohama?"

Is this a hint from Ranpo?
Why give it to her?
She opened the document on the right, took a big gulp of coffee, regrouped, and continued to study.

[There is a piano on the corner that plays its own keys. If you disturb it while playing, your fingers will be cut off. Comment: It seems to be true. Last time, my neighbor's child reached out to touch the piano keys, and I saw his hand was gone yesterday.]

Huiyuan: ...

What the hell are these?

……

He had a vague feeling that he was actually supposed to protect someone, but he forgot.

He stared blankly at the sky.

Is there anything worth looking at in this world?
When he was five years old, he started going out after getting better. But apart from Edogawa Ranpo, no other children would approach Edogawa Satoru, and even some adults were afraid of him.

"horrible."
"His eyes are cold and icy."
"Is your hair white? Is it a sign of illness?"
"That face doesn't look like a human..."
"He doesn't say anything and wants his brother to follow him around all day."
"Isn't it a bit silly, staring at the sky all the time, like a sculpture?"

The world is chattering, in the obscure corners that adults don't pay attention to, outside the fairy tale world created by adults, a look that seems to be both evil and good is drawn one foot in front of him. One foot in front of him is Ranpo, who is a little taller than him, blocking all the filth.

He walked with Ranpo, and the shadow behind him walked up to him, took his hand, and pulled him towards those people.

"Apologize to my brother."

[No need for that.]
"Hahaha, we were just talking casually, joking." Adults and children are all joking.

Ranpo pointed at the person opposite him angrily: "No, you must apologize to my brother!"

Only a few people would apologize and walk away immediately. Most would be unable to shirk their responsibilities and become furious. They would curse at the children and receive indifferent looks.

The white-haired child was forced to break away from his own world and turn his gaze from gazing at the sky to humans.

[I don't care.]
He didn't say anything, but he knew Ranpo could hear him.

Ranpo would not care even if he heard it, and his stubbornness was hard for Wu to understand.

Ranpo said that even though those people wouldn't hear it, he said those people would pay the price for "joking".

The white-haired boy was thinking whether to cry to express his emotions.
He felt light and airy, as if a cloud was supporting him. A quiet warmth surrounded him.

Another tree root emerged from the ground, wrapped around his ankles, and firmly grabbed Edogawa Satoru, whose soul was about to fly away.

[I don't care.]
Stop following me.
Don't touch me.

Otherwise he would lower his head, no longer looking at the sky, but looking at the person behind him.

【I care.】

Being pulled into the human world.

……

After leaving Yokohama, Edogawa Satoru began to come into contact with cursed power and sorcery.

It is no exaggeration to say that he got the hang of it very quickly. The nature of his eyes allowed him to passively know everything, but also allowed him to actively learn about the things he wanted.

However, there is a big difference between knowing and applying. Like him and his brother, he can often notice the details of things earlier than his brother, but he cannot connect the unrelated details from beginning to end and work out the causes and processes of things like his brother.

That's why he called himself waste.

If you can’t use your talent, it’s a waste. If this isn’t waste, then who is?
However, he was still somewhat confident in his control over cursed energy. Unfortunately, this confidence was short-lived, and as time went on, he gradually felt the power of the curse decreasing.

The power of spells is related to physique and soul, and is an ability that depends entirely on talent.

He gradually reduced the use of his cursed energy and began to investigate the orphanage mentioned in the household register.

does not exist.

There is no such orphanage at all, which means it is fake.

Except for the clue involving himself and Gojo Satoru, all other avenues were blocked.

And Gojo Satoru doesn't seem to be aware of his own existence?
Outrageous.

At that time, he gradually couldn't control too many cursed spirits and met the real person.

So for his own safety, he directly enrolled himself in the technical high school; if Gojo Satoru wanted to kill him, one of his escape routes would be his uncontrolled cursed pets.

just now.

"Moshi Moshi--" He called Yuji Itadori.

He suddenly had an idea: what would happen if the real person and Ryomen Sukuna met?

The real person said: "There is a wonderful heritage in the human soul, which can always survive and grow in adversity."

From what he learned about Sukuna during his time with Yuji, he thought that Sukuna was a cursed spirit with a strong sense of territoriality.

Can a master like Masamune, who uses techniques that invade territories, get along well with Ryomen Sukuna?

I really hope that real people who claim to be human beings also have wonderful inheritances in their souls.

……

"Edogawa Satoru? Your brother? You want me to protect him?" The man clapped his legs and laughed as if he had heard a huge joke.
"He has no blood relationship with you, so why bother with him?"

Edogawa Ranpo nodded and shook his head seriously.

"I'm going to kill him."

"what?"

"At the same time, I have to save him."
