Lu Yuan turned around and saw Maori who had just lifted the curtain. He was shocked and then showed a happy expression.

"Mr. Maori, I know..."

"You know what's the matter." Maori interrupted Lu Yuan's words in anger, then walked in and looked at the decorations in the stall.

He seemed to not want to sit with Lu Yuan, but because the place of this kind of stall was not big, he had no choice but to sit down next to Lu Yuan.

"I was kicked out, don't think too much about it." Maori said.

"Uh..." Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Soon, the ramen was brought up, and Maori drank a bowl of noodle soup with a slightly alcoholic face.

"You said, why is it so difficult to raise a daughter... Xiaolan completely followed her mother, but I didn't inherit my strengths at all."

Lu Yuan looked empty and thought, do you really have advantages?

"May I ask, why were you driven out?" Lu Yuan asked hesitated.

"Because I don't help you, Xiaolan drove me out. I've said that helping you may have a problem. What if my dad dies outside? Then he shows off my heroic deeds when I was chasing the criminals before, saying that I didn't care about so much when I was chasing the criminals with bare hands. Alas, this can be the same."

"Emm, from my point of view, this is really no difference."

"Tsk." Maori hummed without cutting: "You should know that everyone has what they value the most. Although it is a virtue to lend a helping hand to others, if you can't even protect the most important things, what can you do with more virtues?"

Lu Yuan looked at the fog rising in front of him, and of course he understood what Maori said. After awakening to become a [human], he became increasingly aware that humans would always involuntarily develop the deepest desire to protect something, and even at the beginning, he could not avoid it.

It’s like in front of a speeding vehicle, the mother will rescue her child regardless of the consequences. Even when she reaches the child, she finds that it is completely impossible to avoid the vehicle, so she will hold it tightly in her arms, trying to use her body to slow down the impact under the steel.

This behavior is ridiculous from a rational point of view, and the mothers naturally know it, but they still go back to do it.

In the past, Lu Yuan would not understand such things, but now, if he was asked to choose one between Ali and many fellow villagers, he would choose the former without hesitation.

Improper, selfish, and even stupid, but Lu Yuan still chose this way, so... he found that in the more than a year after he awakened, he was no longer the same as before.

"You said, if I really don't help you, will my silly girl really not let me go home?" Maori's words suddenly interrupted Lu Yuan's thoughts.

"I definitely hope so." Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"But everyone knows that she will eventually criticize me and open the door for me." Maori said earnestly: "But she seems to be disappointed in me again...I remember when she was a child, every time I came home from get off work, she would stare at her shining eyes and throw herself into my arms, asking me, Dad~ Have you caught a bad guy today?"

Maori seemed to be trapped in some wonderful memory: "At that time, I must have been a very great image in his heart, but she hasn't shown that look to me for a long time."

Lu Yuan has no daughter, so he doesn't know what this feeling will be like, but if one day Ali no longer trusts himself or hates him, that feeling must be very bad.

Before Maori was driven out, he must have drunk a lot of wine, so that after a bowl of noodle soup, his face was still red, and he leaned lazily on the back of the chair.

"Do you know, since I...well... in your words, I've been very worried, worried that I would be the only awakened person in the world, so in the first few years, I kept looking for people to test it everywhere, if they woke up, but kept pretending. However, I found that... it seems that I was the only one."

"Wouldn't you be awakened?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Of course not good. How could this feeling of being watched by untouchable forces every day be good? But what I fear the most is responsibility."

"responsibility?"

"Yes, responsibility. Miss Yoko once participated in an episode of "Mask Superman". The protagonist there was a huge change in life after having the power of the mask. He didn't want to get involved in fighting monsters, but the ability brought it will definitely be responsibility, and even if he escaped, he couldn't escape. So, I'm afraid that one day, you will suddenly appear and disrupt my life, but I have nowhere to hide, because my awakening must be useful."

Maori said, looking at the rain curtain above his head, his eyes seemed to fly into the sky through the curtain: "If there is such a force that controls the direction of everything, then you will appear one day... This is my plot."

At this moment, Lu Yuan seemed to feel that the drunk uncle in front of him had changed another person.

"How long will your plan take?"

"I don't know, but in this world, it should be about a week." "Will I leave this world?"

"Yes"

"Didn't you say that if a so-called player like you leaves this world, then the flow rate of time cannot be controlled?"

"I'll keep a player here so that this dungeon won't end."

Maori frowned. He didn't understand, but he didn't seem to have the intention to ask any more questions. He sighed:

"Oh, okay, the profession of detective is just to help people solve problems. You can't always let Xiaolan look down on you, right?"

Lu Yuan had actually been ecstatic for a long time. He smiled and said, "So, you'd better promise me, right?"

"Don't let that look out. I'm just trying to support my face in front of my girl. Besides, my commission fee is not cheap." Maori muttered lazily.

"The commission from the famous detective Kogoro Mouri is definitely not cheap, but... how much is that?"

"You should tie the ramen first." Maori rubbed his stomach, then turned around and walked out of the ramen stall. In a vague way, Lu Yuan seemed to hear him complaining, would that guy Xiaolan really not let himself enter the house tonight?

The owner of the ramen shop looked at Maori who left a little blankly, and then looked at Lu Yuan with a surprise look.

"Is this gentleman the detective, Kogoro Mouri?"

Lu Yuan smiled: "Yes."

"Oh." The owner of the ramen shop nodded in admiration: "So this is the famous detective. It looks different from what he imagined."

Lu Yuan turned his head and could just look at Maori who was shaking his butt from the gap in the curtain, saying to himself:
Chapter completed!
