Messy Stray Dogs

VII

"Okay can you please focus here?" Ango said sighing. Ryutaro's sudden appearance seems to make everyone distracted

"KAPAYIN ÇENENİZİ" Halide screamed making everyone look at her "Just shut up and continue"

Her outburst managed to make everyone go back to their seats. Ryutaro grabbed a chair before pulling it next to Fadeyka. Everyone looked at Alexis again

"Let's get this over with" she started with a growl "Okay so, Ranpo-san and I were working on a case. Well mostly I was tagging along while he solved it in a second" you could see her eyes sparkle. She was a fan of him wasn't she? "It was a series of murder. Random people, all ability user. They seemed to be get killed by their own ability- Deyka send my cup over here" she motioned Fadeyka for her water cup. After getting it she drank all of it "Better. Thanks"

"We of course thought about Shibusawa Tatsuhiko first but after brainstorming for half an hour or so we decided it was impossible. Two more hours went on like that. It was so weird to see Ranpo-san solve a case like that. I mean we are talking about the smartest man and the best detective in the world!" she shook her head in disbelief "After two hours he finally found something. And told me about the basics of the ability. But before he could finish we got attacked and he umm..." she stopped talking probably not planning to finish that sentence

"Well what we were after was the missing information. We assumed it was X's identity but it turns out it wasn't"

"Wait what?" Fadeyka turned to her "But didn't you and Ryutaro said it was that?"

"Yes but it seems we were wrong. Ranpo-san found out how to cancel the ability"

...

"WHAT?!"

"REALLY?!"

"That's Ranpo-san for you!"

"What would we do without him?"

"Quiet!"

"Stopping without killing or using Dazai's ability?" Kunikida asked to the girl, which she nodded "But that part is for Ryutaro-san to explain" she said sitting back to her place

"Ah it's my turn already? Here kid hold my chips" Ryutaro got up and tossed his snacks to Alexis. She didn't ask before getting one, earning a glare from the older boy

"Sooooo! In these files there is the murder reason. It clearly shows my father was killed because of that. The best part is The Warden is an idiot! He hacked these from the agent who was in charge of 'Edogawa Ranpo' case. Thanks to that we know how to stop the ability" he went back to the computer to change the pictures. The picture showed a crystal shaped like a triangular prism. It looked like glass, transparent

"Looks pretty isn't it? Well these crystals are used for trapping. X is not controlling ability users, X is trapping their consciousness into these, making ability users attack us!" he smiled

"So if we destroy these crystals, does that mean we can save all the ability users?" Natsuko asked

"I think so! Hey Alex what do you think?" Ryutaro happily asked to the girl

"I think... it's fascinating! An ability this strong and complex!" she said basically shining from excitement. She took out something looked like a recorder "X case day 113 no 112? No no 113! Things are getting way more interesting than I've imagined! Of course I have seen abilities controlling the mind such as Dogra Magra and Vampires but this! And not to mention it is nearly impossible for an outside effect stop the ability aside from killing. This proves my theories correct! #c9いこ
Гшçあ"

"Wait wait rewind! What did you said in the last part?" Tachiara looked confused

"Hmm. Oh my apologies but my theories are classified. I don't want anyone learn them" the Russian said giving her signature Cheshire grin
