Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 477 The Exit of Magic Power

The servant immediately stepped forward respectfully and handed over a jar the size of a palm.

This is a pot of potion that burns tens of millions into it, and it can stimulate a lot of magic power in a short period of time.

Putting it on the current occasion, it can support the extremely complicated magic circle for Minamoto Honga, making the peeking scene clear.

But right now, it's not the best time to use it...

Minamoto bent her fingers and lifted the lid of the potion, while holding her breath to adjust the angle of peeping.

The chaotic picture, which was already extremely shaking, turned around, revealing a nauseating feeling of dizziness.Yuan Hongnai frowned and held back, let the screen facing the back slowly adjust until it was aligned with the front of the "evil wizard".

……It's now.

As soon as she raised her hand, she splashed the whole jar of viscous liquid onto her feet.The crimson magic power gushing out of her rose like a flame, swelled, and then subsided in an instant, pouring into the magic circle.

The picture I peeped was originally like a piece of glass covered with frost and mist.At this time, the impurities were wiped clean, and the field of vision suddenly became clear.

Yuan Hongnai's winning ticket is in sight and looking around.

When she saw the scene in front of her clearly, her eyes filled with anticipation showed a little bit of astonishment.

——Through the illusory "one-way glass", the "evil wizard" who shouldn't have noticed them suddenly raised his head and looked straight in her direction.As if separated by tens of kilometers from the screen of divination, Minamoto met her gaze.

Different from the clear face expected by Yuan Hongna, the young man wore a pure white mask without decoration, his face was completely covered, and the only exposed eyes were also hidden in the thick shadow cast by the mask... No, Not only the face, but the "evil wizard" also had a pale clay-like shell on his body.The unlucky "sacrifice" on the ground was also wrapped up, making it difficult to peek.

...was discovered?
... The hidden pattern and the weak to almost non-existent magic power fluctuation that she spent several days studying were discovered? !

Minamoto gritted her teeth, and suddenly pushed the observation distance forward, trying to penetrate the clay-like thing and see something clearly.

But at this moment, the screen suddenly went dark.

——A tentacle stained with pitch-black mucus protruded out of nowhere, clung to the "one-way glass" from the other side, and squirmed upwards, blocking most of the screen.

Immediately afterwards, one after another of the same disgusting tentacles stretched and piled up until they completely covered the "one-way glass" that should have been extremely secretive and incorporeal.

The moment the figure of the "evil wizard" was completely blocked, a red eye suddenly opened in the center of the tentacles, where it was close to the "glass"—an extremely beautiful eye that seemed to belong to a human being. .

When that eye is placed on anyone, it can instantly become the focus of admiration.

But installed in this kind of place, it only makes people feel frightened and faintly nauseous, like being alone at home in the middle of the night, after hearing something strange and looking out through the cat's eye, but through the thin glass, there is a cat peeping into the room eyes full of malice.

Yuan Hongnai had never seen such a scene before, she subconsciously looked at that eye, and clearly saw the layers of resentment, resentment, jealousy, and complacency inside... A wave of emotions poured out of her eyes and washed into her mind.Under Yuan Hongnai's gradually horrified stare, there was a broken "click" sound in front of the constantly flapping tentacles.

She just felt something was wrong, but in the next second, the tentacle followed the extremely weak connection, crossed the barrier of tens of kilometers, and suddenly stretched forward. It pierced into Yuan Hongna's left eye.

"what--!!!"

The adult witch tightly covered her eyes and let out a painful roar.Yuan Hongnai's mind went blank, and she only felt that her eyes were pierced by countless steel needles.The severe pain made her lose her ability to think for a moment. She covered her face and fell to her knees.Before she completely lost consciousness, apart from astonishment and the most instinctive fear, she could no longer accommodate other emotions.

The magic circle and crystal ball shattered instantly.The servant and Hongko Koizumi finally came back to their senses, and when tremblingly stepped forward, there was only Minamoto who had fallen to the ground, and a blank floor in front of her—the magic circle was gone, and the crystal ball was also obliterated, collapsing into a A powder that is finer than sand.

The servant supported Yuan Hongna, remembering the scene just now, and carefully pulled her hood back while making an emergency call.

He thought he would see a blur of flesh and blood.

But it didn't.

—— Minamoto Kona looked intact, her face and eyes were distorted by the pain, everything else was the same.

He looked at this scene suspiciously, suspecting that the few tentacles he saw just now were just an illusion caused by some kind of wizard.

He couldn't help turning his head to look at the place where the magic circle was, but he only saw Koizumi Hongzi's astonished face.

"...The source of her magic power is gone." Koizumi Hongko stretched out a hand, covering Yuan Hongnai's eyes blankly.

The source of magic power is something that every magician is born with, and it is passed down from generation to generation.When the previous generation dies or loses the qualification to possess magic power, it will be automatically passed on to the next generation.

Minamoto Hongna's magic power source was already transferring to Koizumi Hongko at an extremely slow speed.That is the foundation of a magician's foothold.

But now, Koizumi Hongzi can no longer feel the source of magic power belonging to their family.

She thought of the tentacle that pierced into her aunt's eye just now, and the way it retracted while curling up with something, and she shuddered silently: "...What the hell is that?!"

……

tens of kilometers away.In the abandoned warehouse of Kubado-cho [-]-chome.

1 minutes ago.

Jiang Xia was hiding in the warehouse, beating Shikano Shuji evenly, making the stubborn murderous look fluffy.

But at this moment, the ghosts suddenly became agitated, looked at the side blankly, and vaguely felt that something invisible was approaching.

After Jiang Xia was stunned, he immediately slapped Lu Yexiu on the back of Lu Yexiu's neck with a knife, knocking out any possible witnesses.

Then he carefully felt the changes around him. After savoring it for a while, he always felt that there was a faint breath of magic power.

I remembered the magic knowledge I learned from Terai Konosuke when I visited the house before, and the advice of my grandfather "be careful that they use divination to find your lair, and then lay heavy fire in ambush there".To be on the safe side, Jiang Xia immediately put on the hood, and took the time to paste a layer of clay on his face and body.

——Although a body is not a permanent necessity for a psychic.But Jiang Xia is very satisfied with this body with the same name as her own, and she doesn't want to be disturbed by witches to her peaceful life yet.

Just as he wrapped his body in clay, he suddenly sensed a much stronger magical power than before, and the source seemed to be in the air in front of him.

...Although it is not clear what happened, there is no doubt about the fact that "there is a burst of magic power in front of me".

Jiang Xia was trying to politely tease her a little bit.

But before he could release his shikigami, his expression was suddenly in a trance.There was a "buzz" in his head like tinnitus, and the depths of his pupils turned red instantly.
