Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 456 Asking for a Monthly Ticket for the Kidd Battery (づど)
The servant was the sniper who shot secretly just now.

The master wants to give priority to catching the living Wutiangou, so when he shoots, he naturally has no killing intent.

As for the magic power, he himself has low magic power, and he was privately ordered by Yuan Hongna before, consciously avoiding releasing magic power.Therefore, he successfully avoided Jiang Xia's hasty search.

Minamoto recalled that when he communicated with the radio just now, the servant said that although the shot he fired did not cause fatal damage to Kiritengu, it did graze the monster's leg.

Regardless of whether it is clothing fragments or blood, they are all excellent materials for divination or cursing.Yuan Hongnai specially asked him to keep it and take it back.

however……

"Sorry, I couldn't find it." The servant bowed humbly, and his already short height became even lower:
"After Miss Hongzi left, I immediately went to the roof to search, but I couldn't find any pieces of clothes that he dropped, nor did I see any blood or minced meat."

Yuan Hongnai was startled, suddenly thought of something, her face changed suddenly, she stood up abruptly: "...you really searched carefully?!"

……

A deep forest on the outskirts of Tokyo.

An ancient castle stands quietly.

In the corner room, Kidd was lying on the cold floor, still trying to destroy the magic circle below him, trying to add obstacles to the two witches who were trapping the foggy dog.

In the beginning, he couldn't move an inch except for opening his eyes once in a while.

But being idle is idle anyway, so Kidd would try to move his fingers as soon as he recovered from extreme exhaustion.

After an unknown period of time, he vaguely felt that an indescribable force gradually emerged from his body.

That force is very weak, but like water in a closed pool, it keeps dripping and slowly increasing.

Kidd felt the changes in his body suspiciously.

After watching for a while, he tried to use his mind to concentrate the weak force on his fingertips.

The originally cold fingers slowly recovered a little temperature.The frozen joints also showed signs of relaxation.

With a clear goal, the light in Kidd's eyes came back a little.

He stared intently at his hand, and moved it to the nearest magic circle pattern with great effort.

As soon as I touched it, there was a sudden bang sound of the window opening behind me.A shadow followed from the window, and under the projection of the wall lamp, it enveloped most of the room.

——The window was broken, someone flew in with a strong wind, and landed directly next to him with a clear target.

The magic circle pressing on Kidd loosened instantly, and the invisible restraint seemed to be pulled away by something quickly and weakened rapidly.

Kidd was startled, and when he raised his eyes to see the familiar hem, he was a little surprised.

... Wutiangou actually came to the door.

He was about to ask how Wutiangou found the place, and how the two witches are now.

But before he could make a sound, he suddenly saw Wu Tiangou squatting halfway in front of him, staring at his fingers with great concern.

Then he couldn't resist reaching out to touch it.

Kidd: "..."

The power that has been accumulated for a long time is quickly withdrawn.The attention he used to maintain his sobriety just now became difficult to concentrate.In addition, the magic power imprisoning him in the magic circle completely disappeared.Kidd's body lightened, and he was suddenly overwhelmed with irresistible exhaustion. His vision gradually blurred and swayed, and finally returned to darkness.

Jiang Xia looked at the strange thief who suddenly lay dead: "...?"

……what happened?

Is that little bit of magic on Kidd's finger so small that you can't even taste it, is it actually very important?
Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Xia stretched out his hand and pushed Kidd with a slight conscience—he just suddenly discovered that Kidd had magic power, and that kind of magic power seemed to be different from Koizumi Hongzi's. Curious, I sucked energy into the tattoo and observed it...

The people on the ground didn't move, they couldn't wake up at all, and they were as dizzy as Koizumi Hongzi a few nights ago.

Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand to press the pulse, and found that the beating was quite stable, and it seemed that there was no problem, so he was relieved immediately.

He stood up and looked around.

Jiang Xia was able to find this place, all thanks to the illusory line that appeared on Koizumi Hongzi's body to guide the way.

What happened a few days ago made him discover that Koizumi Hongzi seemed unable to see this kind of magical dotted line that represented a certain connection, and had very little control over it—it was difficult to grasp even existence, so naturally he would not be too involved in this aspect. Make a disguise.

So after leaving the building, Jiang Xia followed his impression and flew straight over.

Then in the deep forest, I found a castle with eerie and eerie painting style, which seemed suspicious no matter how you looked at it.

As they fell towards the castle, the ghosts who brought them gradually let out excited murmurs.

——There seems to be a lot of magical reactions in the castle.Although it wasn't violent, the bits and pieces added up were almost comparable to a Koizumi Hongzi who was in full condition.

Jiang Xia immediately separated the ghosts, and each ghost led a few shikigami to move the magic power that could be moved.

He himself flew to a room where the magic power was most active.

After that, he broke open the window and saw Kidd lying dead on the magic circle.

……

After knocking on the magic circle hidden in this room, Jiang Xia glanced down at the fainted Kidd, looked forward to the magic power of the new flavor, and then moved him to the sofa next to him kindly.

Afterwards, he pushed the door and went out, ready to take the shikigami to personally search for this amazing castle.

Although it's not very kind to break into a house to grab magic power.

But judging from what happened just now, the purpose of the witches sending out the notice letter was to let him show up.

Now that he showed up as promised, and left without any reward, how could he make it through...

In addition, judging from Kidd's situation just now, it seems that Koizumi Hongzi has not turned him into a magic battery - the line connecting him and Koizumi Hongzi should only be helping Koizumi Hongzi maintain the "basic energy". Germany" appearance.

So now, Jiang Xia suspects that there is more than one magician here.

——In addition to Koizumi Hongko, there must be someone who provides her with magic power.

Koizumi Hongzi should have gone to move the rescuer, but the rescuer who was full of magic power was cautious and refused to probe.

... In this case, if you spend more time in the castle, you may have the opportunity to sit on the sidelines and wait for the new mysterious magician.

……

When Jiang Xia was beating the magic weapons of the witches everywhere.

Mihua Art Theater.

On the stage, the male and female protagonists sit together at an ivory white round table, with the night sky full of artificial stars above their heads, the spotlights hit them, and the soothing and sad music flows.

The play is already in the middle.

Now, according to the script, the two protagonists have done everything they wanted to do, and they are about to meet and die in love.But they got the fake poison by accident. After resurrection, they will face social death and a series of other problems.

The style of painting behind is quite peculiar, but that is already a story.

And now, the vibe on stage is just plain sad.
