Rampo receives an invitation to a detective game from none other than E. A. Poe. He's indifferent at first, until Poe reveals what the reward would be should he win.
We were here, pitting our 
minds against each other's.
.لقد كنّا هنا، نتصارع بعقلنا
Hier haben wir uns einst
mit unserem Verstand duelliert.
Aquí enfrentamos nuestros intelectos.
Aquí enfrentamos nuestros intelectos.
C’est ici qu’on s’est confrontés
intellectuellement.
Eravamo qui,
a mettere a confronto le nostre menti.
de que estávamos aqui batendo
 de cabeça um com o outro.
Как мы соревновались разумом.
