The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Ekoda High School.

Free time between classes.

The students formed groups and talked about interesting things that happened recently. They laughed from time to time and then moved on to the next interesting topic.

Nakamori Aoko looked at Kuroba Kaito, who was burying his head in his desk, staring intently at a complicated textbook, and for some reason she always felt something was wrong.

Although Kaito had good grades, he usually didn't study very seriously. He was usually either thinking about his fancy magic skills or thinking about how to tease her.

He was unusually quiet today.

She walked to the seat in front of Kuroba Kaito and sat down, turned around to face him, folded her hands on the back of the chair, rested her chin on it, and looked at him with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Kuroba Kaito raised his head stiffly, his mouth opening and closing unnaturally: "Shiro, Shiro..."

"white?"

Nakamori Aoko tilted her head in confusion.

"White!"

With a strange cry, Kuroba Kaito's head suddenly shot out, and when it separated from his neck, it brought out a bunch of colorful ribbons, like firecrackers to celebrate a festival.

Aoko Nakamori was startled by the noise, but when she thought of the inexplicable word "white" just now, she suddenly realized something, her face quickly turned red, and her fists hardened as she felt embarrassed and angry.

"Hurry- Fight!!"

Kuroba Kaito somersaulted to restore his originally upside-down posture to normal. He nimbly dodged Nakamori Aoko's fist, jumped a few times on the desk, and picked up the dummy head that was ejected.

"You are still so easily fooled, Qingzi. White is the purest color and it suits you very well!" He made a face with a smile.

Nakamori Aoko's face turned red and she was so angry that she couldn't speak. She grabbed the mop in the corner of the classroom and chased after him.

The classroom is in chaos again.

Koizumi Hongzi looked at the two guys quarreling as usual and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

It seems that this kid Kuroba Kaito has not realized what is about to happen.

She did a divination for him a few days ago and found that there was a "spider" secretly watching Kaito Kid.

Judging from the reward for summoning Satan, the crisis is not small.

Although it is not a life-or-death crisis, it is still troublesome.

Because what is really difficult to deal with is the pair of extremely dark and cold eyes behind the "spider".

Unlike the spider, it was staring at her with greedy, eager eyes that did not conceal its pure malice.

Yes, the spider was targeting Kaito Kid, but those eyes were seeing her.

Moreover, for some reason, the magic power in her body would boil over from time to time these days, making it inconvenient for her to make some convenient alchemical products.

This is a very unusual sign.

It is a warning from the magic instinct.

In the end, she was the one who was worried. Kuroba Kaito didn't take it seriously at all and still looked nonchalant, as if he was not worried at all.

Tired...

Taking out a magic mirror from her bag, Koizumi Hongzi planned to do another dream divination to see if she could get some new insights.

He chanted two spells silently, and all the magic power in his body was mobilized, causing the magic mirror to resonate. After a wave like water ripples on the mirror surface, several pictures appeared.

A round white moon like jade hangs high in the clouds.

In the dark woods, a huge mechanical spider was hanging upside down. The slender and hidden silver threads intertwined with each other, weaving a web with no blind spots in the woods.

The white horse lay on the ground, and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead.

Kaito Kid covered his eyes with a painful expression, and it seemed that he had lost the ability to move.

There was no her in the picture, but there was a broken mirror on the ground, which was the magic mirror in her hand at that moment.

The magic mirror's consciousness was conveying a message to her: it had predicted its own future of destruction.

In addition, it also told Koizumi Hongzi that there should actually be another picture in the divination result, but it did not dare to show that picture, which might cause it to be shattered now.

Koizumi Hongzi fell into deep thought.

Kaito Kidd is in great danger, but he is not worried about his life or death...

The magic mirror shattered at the scene, but she did not show up.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly remembered something and her expression suddenly became much uglier.

Oh no, it’s coming for her!

Because she had considered that Kuroba Kaito would be in danger, and planned to replace him and go to the scene as Kaito Kid, but her figure was not seen in the future of the Magic Mirror Evolution, which means that she had an accident!

Realizing that she was in danger, Koizumi Hongzi immediately calmed down and thought about countermeasures.

The simplest way is to not get involved in this mess and stay at home honestly, but Kuroba Kaito will definitely not accept it. Every time I use divination results to persuade him not to go, it is useless.

How about considering forcibly taking him home and locking him up?

No, she couldn't beat him...

So annoying!

Koizumi Hongzi ruffled her long burgundy hair, which felt a little numb.

Why can't Kuroba Kaito just listen to his instructions? !

Forget it, if he was really that honest, he wouldn’t be Kaito Kidd.

Let's think about engraving some magic to deal with the danger.

Just as she sighed and was about to put away the magic mirror, the mirror surface suddenly rippled violently, and the silver-white image slowly faded into a psychedelic purple.

Gradually, an image appeared on the mirror.

Unlike the previous unchanging pictures, this time the pictures that appeared were dynamic, just like a video.

A beautiful face that was hard to tell whether it was indifferent or calm appeared in the mirror. She had long, mysterious purple hair, and a violet seemed to be blooming in her pupils.

"Lilith, what is this?"

Suddenly, another blue-haired girl came over and looked over curiously, asking.

"I just found someone peeking at my concept of possibility, so I grabbed it. It looks like an alchemical product of the Red Magic lineage."

Lilith also became interested. She had been traveling around the world with Xiaoyu these days, but she hadn't seen anything related to magic. She only witnessed all kinds of human deceptions. Although they were also very exciting, Xiaoyu was still a little disappointed.

Unexpectedly, he met one by chance at this moment, which made Xiaoyu very excited.

Although they are now in the Vatican, half a world away from the caster, it is not a big problem.

Lilith also took this opportunity to teach Xiaoyu some knowledge about magic.

"Red magic is one of the orthodox magics classified by humans. It is mainly inherited through a family hereditary system. It originally came from the same source, a family called Fister. Around the Renaissance, the power of the Church began to slowly lose its control, and the capitalist class, which was mainly composed of ordinary people, gradually took over Western society. The Fister family was keenly aware that conflicts between wizards and ordinary people were likely to break out in the future, so they resolutely split up the huge family roots and dispersed the clan members all over the world, leaving behind a seed of fire."

"However, the Fister family was large and powerful. Even after it dismembered itself, it still left behind a large part of its legacy. The two branches that digested it best have developed well and are gradually becoming known. One of them is the Steve family, which is mainly inherited by men. They call themselves the Red Magicians and are mainly active around Italy. The other is the Koizumi family, which is inherited by a single female. They call themselves the Red Magicians and are dormant on a small island in the east."

"About a century later, the church that believed in white magic declared war on wizards who mostly studied black magic. The first round of 'witch hunts' began, and the brutal fighting lasted for decades."

"In this first round of witch hunting, the Church and the wizards did not win or lose. Both sides suffered losses. In order not to irritate the two sides who were at a sensitive stage, the Red Wizards and Red Witches of the Red Magic Faction chose to remain neutral and hide from human society, not participating in the fight between the two sides."

"The Church has the support of divine authority and many believers, while the wizards have strange methods and can easily attract the interest of capitalist nobles. Both sides quickly recovered and started the second round of confrontation."

"In their confrontation, the mage group gradually declined, but the church's faith and the bourgeoisie gradually expanded and became unimaginable behemoths. Soon, these groups of ordinary people were beyond the control of the mages and devoured them in turn."

"They couldn't imagine why ordinary people without power could be so dangerous, but in the end they were suppressed by these ordinary people, lost their power and status, and became rats in the sewer. Although they had magic power, they were unable to make an effective fight back."

Xiaoyu interrupted in confusion, "Why? If they master magic, ordinary people shouldn't be their opponents, right?"

Lilith shook her head: "It is not as convenient for humans to use magic as it is for magical creatures."

"This has to start with the nature of magic. Magic itself is a natural energy. From the grass you see everywhere on the roadside to the clouds floating in the sky, they all contain magic."

"But possessing magic power does not mean being able to use it. We call all creatures that have an affinity for magic, that can sense and control magic, magical creatures. For example, Xiaoyu, you are undoubtedly a magical creature, but that does not mean that all whales are. Magical creatures refer to individuals with special talents, not entire species."

"In other words, magical creatures are a type of creature that is independent of all species."

"Magical creatures have no reproductive isolation from other species. Just like the story I told you about the love between a mermaid and a human, they can produce offspring. You may even see hybrid creatures like griffins or dragon turtles in the future."

"But the absence of reproductive isolation does not mean that the bloodline can continue at will. As I said, controlling magic power is a special talent. Humans who possess this talent are called wizards. They are essentially magical creatures and have nothing to do with humans."

"But humans have a strong sense of society. Even though mages have great power, most of them cannot live without society. They have families and friends."

"This means that the birth of their offspring will definitely weaken this bloodline."

"If two pure-blood wizards fall in love, then there is nothing wrong with that. The child born will also be a pure-blood wizard. But love is a strange thing. There are countless examples of wizards falling in love with ordinary people. The offspring born in this case will be mixed-blood. The hybridization gives them purer magic than ordinary people, but their ability to control magic is weakened from generation to generation, making it difficult for them to use magic."

"Most pure-blood wizards can mobilize magic power naturally and build a magical structure, just like this."

Lilith waved her hand casually, and a gorgeous and complex blue magic circle rose into the void. Then water vapor condensed, dark clouds gathered, and it began to rain in the Vatican.

Xiaoyu nodded, not quite understanding.

She was transformed by Lilith's aura and is essentially a mixed-blood, which is why she is not as adept at using magic as Lilith.

But it is definitely much stronger than humans.

"Over time, the blood of a mixed-blood wizard drops below a certain threshold, and it becomes difficult for the magic to obey their command, let alone use magic as they wish."

"But they have more magic power than ordinary people who can't use magic, so they came up with a good idea."

"Humans have always been a smart race. They thought, since it is difficult for them to mobilize magic power, they should ask external forces to assist them. Thus, the greatest discovery in human history was born - alchemy."

"They studied the works and experiences of their pure-blood predecessors and summarized the laws of the reaction of magic power structures, that is, the essence of why magic power can activate magic. Then, just like they studied mathematics, they invented corresponding formulas one by one."

"They searched for suitable magical carriers in nature, and combined them in specific steps like a puzzle. This special method replaced the original process of constructing a magic circle. In other words, they created a long-lasting magic circle, and only injected magic power into it when it was needed."

"This does not require any magical talent at all. It is simply a manifestation of human wisdom. But I have to say that they did take a different path, a better path."

"Once there is one, there will be two. Once there is two, there will be three. After humans took the first step of alchemy, they could not stop. Their magic began to develop rapidly and became a prosperous and magnificent great cause. Summoning, words, curses... emerged one after another."

"Maybe they are not the best magical creatures, but they are definitely the best magic users. I have always believed that the true meaning of magic is not whether it is convenient or powerful, but its unparalleled imagination."

"Humans have infinite imagination, and this imagination is the root of their strength. They have achieved what magic has not allowed them to do, with their wisdom."

But Lilith did not forget that the topic just now was why such a powerful magician was driven off the stage of history by ordinary people.

"Whether it's the orthodox red magic, white magic, or the black magic they reject, they are essentially using magic with the help of external forces. The reason they were defeated by ordinary people was not because ordinary people had some powerful inventions at that time. In fact, the first industrial revolution was still long before that time."

"The real reason for their defeat is poverty."
