Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 218

Yes, Kidd now knows:

The one who snatched the "Dark Star" from him that day was not some "bodyguard equipped with Suzuki's high-tech artificial wings", but probably a real monster.

——After that incident, Kidd and his assistants went to inquire about the situation.

Then I learned that Suzuki's family didn't have that kind of strange flying device, let alone hired that kind of bodyguard.

Instead, after careful investigation, they found out reports about the "Fog Sky Dog"—this monster seemed to be related to the two deaths.

The location is Shanni Temple in the deep mountains. There has been a legend of Wutiangu around there, and two monks were hanged to death on the very high eaves. The traces on the scene look like flying tengus committing crimes. Same.

Kidd is different from Conan, his world view is not so materialistic.

So after getting this news, Kidd's impression of Kiritengu in his mind gradually changed from "Suzuki's bodyguard" to "a man-eating monster", which made Kidd very afraid of Kiritengu.

Now, although Wutiangou has not expressed his intention to eat him for the time being, but every time, this monster will snatch the treasure he got, and then suck up the treasure in front of him, and then throw it back like eating a dried fruit and throwing the shell ...

Kidd tried many ways to get rid of Wutiangu, but with little success—in order to avoid police pursuit, many of his escape actions were carried out in the air.But how can a pair of man-made hang glider compare to other people's natural wings.

So Kidd escaped repeatedly and was robbed, and he was still robbed... Now, this kind of "taking treasures from the police siege" is almost no fun for Kidd.

Because the removal was only temporary, and soon, he would be robbed again.

But for the sake of his "dead" father, Kidd still couldn't stop his act of stealing treasure...

Thinking of this, he sighed faintly, put down the binoculars haggardly, picked up tools, and prepared to sneak into the venue.

……

This time, Kidd found that his theft process was very easy-the police easily got into the trap he set.

Kidd was a little puzzled, but soon he discovered the reason - there was a transmitter secretly hidden on the gem, and the police seemed to be planning to use this to find his lair.

Kidd stared at the transmitter dully, and put the gem away casually.

It would be great if you could use the transmitter to track down Wutiangu's old lair, but it's a pity that the monster only has the desire to eat the treasure, and he just throws the gem away after eating. useless...

……

Although the police were secretly releasing water, the downstairs was still heavily guarded, and Kidd fled to the top of the building as planned, preparing to retreat.

As soon as the hang glider was opened, there was a sudden gunshot from behind, and the bullet broke the support rod of the hang glider.

Kidd staggered and almost fell off the roof.

He was startled, turned his head quickly, and saw a row of men in black standing on the roof of the building in suits and top hats behind him at some point.

Slack, the leader, pointed his gun at Kidd, and let out a cold snort: "I seem to have warned you—don't continue to attack gems."

This voice made Kidd frown slightly. A while ago, he received a threatening phone call. The other party mistook him for his father Kuroba Pirates and warned that if he continued to aim at the gem, he would die.

... Now it seems that the person in black is calling.

Kidd felt that the secret of his father's "death" was beckoning to him, and Black Feather Pirate One might have provoked this group of people before he was brutally killed.

But now that the hang glider is broken, don't talk about finding out the truth, Kidd can't protect himself now.

He turned around, facing the cold muzzle of the gun, while calmly thinking about ways to get out, while trying to fight back.

Just when Kidd took out the imitation "sapphire" according to the other party's request, and was about to throw this over to delay the time, a very unnatural wind suddenly blew up on the edge of the roof.

Kidd vaguely felt something was wrong, and before he could turn around, the cloak on his back suddenly sank—someone pulled him from below.

Kidd was dragged by the cloak and lost his balance. He stepped on the ground and fell to the roof.

Slack, who was holding a gun on the opposite side, was stunned. From his perspective, he could only see a hand reaching out from under the roof, and Kidra went downstairs.

The gem was still on Kidd, and Slack's face changed drastically. He rushed to the side of the building with a group of men in black and looked down.

However, there was only an empty night downstairs, and there was no sign of Kidd at all, nor the owner of the hand that was stretched out in the dark.

……

The Kidds were in the air, looking at the dark city below with a blank expression.

Suddenly a hand stretched out beside his face.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar sentence came from behind: "Give it to me."

Kidd: "..."

A few times ago, Wutiangou would say what it wanted, such as "give me a dark star", "give me a bloody full moon" and so on, but now it seems...it seems to be too lazy to say it.

Kidd even suspects that Wutiangou is simply too lazy to remember the name of the gem, and only remembers "this strange thief in white is easy to snatch".

Kidd looked at the hands on the side of his face, glanced at the height of more than [-] meters below him, felt the parachute bag hidden behind his back, and turned his head away with backbone, pretending not to hear.

There were some scattered policemen nearby, and Kidd was very conspicuous in his white clothes.

Jiang Xia thought for a while, and didn't continue to ask for gems for the time being, but carried Kidd around the building for a few laps.

After throwing off possible stalkers, he landed in a hidden place.

Kidd glanced at Wutiangou who was observing the environment, took the opportunity to break free from the not-so-firm grip, and retreated vigilantly.

He suddenly remembered the news about the two corpses in the Shanni Temple that were hung from a high place, suspected to be "dogs storing food in the fog".

Kidd pressed the tranquilizer gun, feeling that his career as a phantom thief had cast a shadow: "You don't eat me, do you want me to steal something for you?"

Jiang Xia: "...?"

He looked at Kidd suspiciously, and after a while, he vaguely guessed where his idea of ​​"dogs eating people in the fog" came from.

Jiang Xia thought of Kidd's sense of justice, and then looked at the energy core in his pocket, feeling that this strange blame cannot be blamed.

He raised his chin slightly, and his tone was flat with a touch of disgust: "Human beings are not delicious food."

...is this a euphemism for "don't eat people"?

Kidd's eyes narrowed slightly: "The two monks in Shanni Temple..."

"The old monk died by himself." Wu Tiangou folded his wings impatiently, and said casually, "I went to the monastery, and when he saw me, he clutched his heart and fell down. I just obeyed his advice before he died. Wish, hang him to a high place - he said that he hopes to have a similar thing happen again, to help the temple attract guests."

Kidd: "...Zohua?"

... No matter how it sounds like a sudden death!
