The Reincarnation Room
Natural Enemies of Ryan

"So ..." Ryan looked at Sherlock and whispered, "Had Shirayuki said that Aria shouldn't have come here."

If Aria knew that the Grandpa Buyut she admired the most was actually the leader of a criminal organization, and this organization was also responsible for the imprisonment of the biological mother of Aria, Aria's mind would have been shattered.

"This is the biggest joke of my life in this world" Ryan did not hide the irony he felt. "The most famous detective in the world, has become the leader of the most powerful criminal organization in the world. Are you tired of your long life? "

Hearing Ryan's words, Sherlock smiled. This smile looks like a brat doing nosy things.

Shortly afterwards, Sherlock said meaningfully, “It looks like the fourth Lupin didn't tell me any information about me.“ 

“But I predicted it. Fourth Lupin definitely does not want Aria confused by my existence here.“

‘This person even knows that Riko has betrayed?’ Ryan was surprised by this. ‘Wait a minute, prediction?’

Sherlock Holmes spoke with his English. "What is called reasoning deduction, is the ability to think and analyze.” 

“When the reasoning deduction rate reaches 100%, then this ability will be equivalent to precognition. I call this ability Cognis.”

“In other words, I've known all this before.“ Sherlock looked straight at Ryan and smiled. “Included about your arrival to this place.”

Hearing all this, Ryan fell silent. After Jeanne brought herself here, Ryan knew that 80% of her assaults had been uncovered.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for all IU members to gather in this place right now. Moreover, all the way to this hall, Ryan did not see Jeanne contacting her friends.

“You are a talented person. Even though you are from school usually before, but you have abilities that can rival the owners of Special Abilities.” 

“This is a mystery that I have not been able to solve at all. Although I have strong reasoning deduction ability, but I still can not see the mystery that envelops you.” 

“And yet, with this ability of mine, there is no mystery in this world that I cannot solve.” Sherlock smiled and said so.

“But this is very interesting. If this world didn't have a mystery that was hard to solve, wouldn't it be too boring?"

From Sherlock's body, Ryan can feel a force that can attract others to respect and follow him unconsciously.

‘So this is Sherlock Holmes? He has a high Charisma.’ Inner Ryan.

‘Then, what should I do? If what he said was real, then Sherlock would have predicted what steps I would take after this.’

‘I have to figure out a way that I can mess up the rhythm of his predictions! And it must be related to something that is not of this world!’ Ryan knew what to do.

At that instant, Ryan's eye color changed to icy blue, signaling the activation of the Mystic Eye of Death Perception.

At the same time, the world Ryan saw was now filled with death lines. And of course, this death line is also seen in all IU members, including IU's leader, Sherlock Holmes.

However, when Ryan saw the death line on Sherlock Holmes' body, Ryan felt a slight pain in his head. This also happened when Ryan saw the death line on the body of the Fuse Colony in the Kabaneri world of The Iron Fortress.

Ryan felt a headache, as the death line on Sherlock's body was too much. In fact, this death line almost covered 95% of his body.

From here, Ryan finally understood.

In the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception origin world, the fewer the death line, the stronger the person. You could say that person is almost immortal.

On the contrary, the more death lines, the more fragile the person is. Or in other words, that person is dying.

And the whole body of Sherlock Holmes, the many death lines.

"Sherlock, are you dying?”

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere of the hall filled with these special-ability people finally changed.

On Sherlock's face, the smile he had shown since, had finally disappeared for the first time.

“Subarashii! How surprising!” Sherlock seemed to hold back his shock, and said to Ryan. "According to my reasoning deduction, during this time, you shouldn't be able to know my body's condition."

After hearing this, Ryan knew that Sherlock's rhythm had been disrupted. That means Ryan's plan has worked.

‘Now, all I need to do is one ..’

Ryan looked directly at Sherlock with a cold look. “Sherlock Holmes ..”

“I'll kill you here.”

Ryan's words this time make Sherlock Holmes really stunned. Because of this remark, it was beyond his prediction. Moreover, a Butei must not kill.

But this time Ryan wasn't lying. He really wanted to kill Sherlock.

“Without the desire to actually kill you, I will never be able to defeat you. Therefore, this time, I will be serious.”

As Ryan's spoken declaration echoed through the hall, not just Sherlock, even the people watching from the second floor were dumbfounded.

Booms

At that instant, Ryan stomped his foot to the ground and slid forward like a bullet.

In an instant, Ryan was already in front of Sherlock.

Slash

A dagger-light flame shone brightly in Ryan's hand. Quickly, the sharp dagger shot out like lightning, smashing towards Sherlock.

More precisely, Ryan was aiming for the death line that was in Sherlock's body.

Because this time Ryan seriously wanted to kill Sherlock, before attacking, Ryan had changed his title. From the original Butei (Rank S), to First Rookie.

If Ryan continues to use the title Butei (Rank S), then once Ryan violates Butei's code of conduct, this title will disappear forever and make Ryan weak for a moment. 

To prevent the loss of the Butei (Rank S) title, Ryan replaced the title he used.

But unfortunately, even though Ryan is serious, Sherlock is not an easy opponent to beat.

Under this swift slash, Sherlock suddenly stretched out his hand and clasped tightly onto Ryan's wrist.

As a result, Ryan's quick slash was unexpectedly blocked by Sherlock.

Sherlock looked at Ryan calmly. However, there was no visible light in Sherlock's eyes, as if both eyes were blind.

"Your timing isn't bad. As I was dumbfounded in a split second, you instantly launched an extremely fast attack."

"It's certainly very dangerous, if it was 60 years ago. You might even kill me then."

Sherlock then called out loudly. "Unfortunately, I am now a blind man. 60 years ago, I was poisoned and permanently blind."

"Now, I can no longer see visually. But instead, my sense of hearing, smell, and intuition improved greatly."

"When you start attacking at high speed, I can notice a change in the wind flow around you. Therefore, I can catch your wrist accurately, Ryan-kun."

Dorian

Suddenly, the sound of gunfire rang out loud. In front of Sherlock's body, a flash of light appeared.

The sound of gunfire without seeing the gun, this is a very familiar thing for Ryan. 

Especially if it's not Invisible Bullet.

Moreover, the Invisible Bullet was fired at a very close distance. As a result, Ryan could not avoid it at all.

Nodded     

Fiercely, the bullet hit Ryan's bulletproof uniform, sending him several steps back.

If it wasn't for wearing a bulletproof uniform, Ryan would have been dead by now.

Shortly thereafter, Sherlock began to speak again.

"Although somewhat unexpected, my Cognis can still predict the direction of your attack. After all, the possibility of a battle between us has been a long time since I predicted."

"Ryan-kun, you are an interesting person. It's only been a while, but you really made me feel some unexpected things. It's really very interesting."

"But it's too early for you to challenge me now."

"And also, in order to show our respect to you, my permission is to demonstrate IU's strength."

Sherlock's speech was not only addressed to Ryan, but also to all IU members who had been watching from the second floor of the hall.     

"On behalf of Leader IU, I advise you …"

"Honor your opponent, and so does …"

"Defeat Ryan!"

After which, Sherlock immediately turned around walking towards the door he had passed through earlier.

Seeing Sherlock ignoring himself, not even minding showing his unguarded back, Ryan decided not to chase after him.

Ryan then raised his head and looked towards the second floor.

There, one by one the eyes of IU members began to look at Ryan sharply. Eve kills begin to envelop the hall.    

Without a doubt, they pointed the muzzle at Ryan and pulled the trigger.    

Dor Dor Dor Dor Dor Dor Dor Dor Dor Dor

A roaring sound rang out from various directions on the second floor, causing countless bullets to glide and envelop Ryan.
