Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 453 Witches Are Liars
As the performance drew near, the theater lights went out and music streamed.

When the actors step onto the stage, the presence of the audience is minimized.Next to Jiang Xia, Suzuki Sonoko, who had been excitedly pulling him to talk before, also calmed down, and sat down to watch.

Jiang Xia looked around, leaving behind two clever ghosts, and briefly instructed some precautions.

Then he leaned back slightly, leaning against the soft back of the chair.

Shikigami invisible to ordinary people surged into the sky, squirmed out of the ceiling, and gathered on the roof.

Soon, on the pitch-black roof, an equally pitch-black figure appeared, spreading its wings.

Jiang Xia's consciousness also moved into the puppet constructed by Wu Tiangou.

He recalled the direction announced in Kidd's notice letter, and flew away with wings.

……

Almost 10 minutes later.

The time of the announcement, the location of the announcement.

Jiang Xia silently fell into the shadow on top of a building.

Then he looked at the person standing on top of another building, lost in thought.

...Before, Jiang Xia passed by the police.

Judging from the police's shouting, in the eyes of others, the arrogant figure on the top of the opposite building is indeed Kidd.

But in Jiang Xia's eyes, the "Kidd" on the top of the building at this time is a woman surrounded by a circle of dense magic power.

——The magic power protrudes on the top of the woman's head, and there is also a soft extension on the back. It looks like she is wearing a tall hat and a cloak.Her whole body was wrapped in pure and delicious magic power, she couldn't see her face clearly, only a little bit of her figure could be vaguely seen.

In addition, behind the figure, there is a faintly invisible illusory line extending out and spreading into the distance.

Jiang Xia glanced at the line where the magic power was sparse and hard to see, and then his eyes fell back on the "Kidd" covered in magic power. A series of images of "breadcrumbs and fried until golden" appeared in his mind.

In the next second, he shook his head secretly, shaking the strange picture out of his mind.

Then he threw out the ghost fetuses that were ready to move.

After that, Jiang Xia estimated the amount of magic power to be eaten and the distance between the two sides, and silently weakened the strength of the puppet.

Puppets are made of puppet clay, and the material of puppet clay is shikigami.

Once weakened at this time, a lot of free shikigami were saved immediately.

Jiang Xia released these extra shikigami together with the remaining shikigami in the tattoo, and let them float quietly to "Kid" who was standing on the top of the opposite building and imitating Kidd's pose.

——The number of shikigami is large, and the efficiency of picking up energy cores is as high as locusts crossing the border.

When the good food delivery guy on the opposite side is surrounded by shikigami, she can no longer easily use magic power to float away.

At that time, Jiang Xia can easily fly over to catch people, use familiar methods to squeeze out the magic power, and in the process, ask where his stable energy nuclear supplier, Kidd, is now.

——According to Kidd's habit of knocking that person out and tying him up before disguising himself as someone, other people who pretend to be Kidd may also take similar actions.

……

While waiting for Shikigami to float over to outflank, Jiang Xia secretly looked at the figure standing upstairs who seemed to be pretending to be Kidd.

Although the line of sight was blocked by magic, he couldn't see the woman's face clearly.

But when the two key words "magic power" and "gender woman" are mentioned, it is impossible not to think of Hongzi Koizumi.

After guessing the specific identity of the witch, Jiang Xia looked at her from a distance, her eyes moved slightly.

It shouldn't be too long since the last time the magic power was squeezed out.

Hongzi Koizumi's magical power grew back so quickly?

This is also very useful...

Just as he was thinking, "Kidd" in the distance suddenly pressed the earphones and listened to something.

Immediately afterwards, she turned around suddenly and glanced at the direction Jiang Xia was in, then turned around and ran away.

……

Her running speed is much faster than the fluttering shikigami.

Jiang Xia was startled, glanced to the side thoughtfully, then temporarily put away the shikigami, flapped his wings and took off, and chased after him.

"Kidd" heard the abnormal wind behind him, and looked back.

The person posing as Kidd was indeed Akiko Koizumi.

The clothes Minamoto gave her before can help accumulate magic power, so that she, a witch who lacks magic power at this stage, can also maintain this "Kid" form for a long time.

——"If Wutiangu can't see through the transformation magic and mistook us for 'Kid', he should follow up to check the situation. Of course it's good, it doesn't matter who plays it."

"However, considering that it is an unknown monster after all. In case he can see through our magic, then it is best for you to be the bait."

"The piece of love chocolate you used may have already worked on Wutiangou—you see, he just took you flying for a while that day, and didn't hurt you, did he?"

"That's why I think that only if you play in person, can you lead him into that magic circle without fail."

...Recalling Minamoto Kona's words before, Koizumi Hongko looked back at Kiritengu who had caught up with him, exhaled a little with a complicated mood, and continued to run.

……

While thinking about chasing, Jiang Xia observed the direction of "Kidd"'s escape, and felt that Koizumi Hongzi's goal was very clear—it seemed that he wanted to lead him somewhere.

... After the past, can it be attacked by magic power?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia secretly looked forward to it, and chased after "Kidd" steadily to ensure that he could step into the magic trap smoothly.

Anyway, what is here is not the main body. If the puppet is injured, just adjust the distribution of the puppet clay, and it can be repaired again.

And if the magic power will attack the soul... that's even less of a concern.

……

After chasing the fast-running "Kidd" for a while, Jiang Xia vaguely saw her passing a very inconspicuous rain cloth of the same color as the roof.

Jiang Xia took a glance and flew straight away.

Sure enough, when flying to the sky, the "rain cloth" suddenly lit up, and the magic circle hidden below took effect, and a strange red light shot up into the sky, covering him.

Jiang Xia's eyes brightened vaguely, thinking about "unfortunately being attacked by surprise and falling into the magic circle".

However, just as he folded his wings, there was a slight tendency to fall, and his whole body was suddenly empty.

——The magic power in that magic circle was sucked up and consumed in just a few seconds.

Jiang Xia: "...?"

He was dazed by this sense of dislocation, as if he was hungry and saw a large table of delicacies from mountains and seas, only to poke with his chopsticks, only to find that there was only a thin piece of advertising paper in front of him.

...Compared to this empty shell-like magical power, the magical power entangled in "Kidd" in front is more substantial and more refined.

And at the moment Jiang Xia was deceived by the "advertising paper", "Kidd" had already run a long distance.

Jiang Xia glanced at her back quietly, feeling a little uncomfortable being cheated, speeded up and swooped down.He grabbed the shoulder of the magic block and pressed him against the side wall of the roof tower.
