magician under the moon

The cold halo of the moon lightly scattered to the ground, and the colorful neon lights floating on the water formed a poignant and fascinating picture. This is the most common night at Repulse Bay Wharf today. As an important Navigable port, it was once known as the lifeblood of Tokyo shipping. But now, with the completion and opening of the new sea-crossing bridge, the prosperity of the past has long been ruthlessly covered up by the traces of the years. Silence has replaced the noise, and it has become this forgotten In the corner, the only color. And tonight, when the clock strikes 12:00 midnight, this seemingly doomed color was quietly torn open by a pure white pigeon .

"Thank you." The figure who had been waiting for a long time in the corner gently stroked his beloved white dove with his left hand, and gently took off the gemstone on it with his right hand---the legendary Pandora that can give people eternal life.

"Next, just wait for the protagonists to arrive..."

"Are you waiting for me?" A woman in black in the distance approached with a smile.

"You seem to be early."

"You too," Kaito said with a smile. At this time, he was not wearing a white dress like usual. However, a dark school uniform could not conceal the aura that belonged to Kaitou Kidd.

"I can't wait to meet the legendary monster thief again." Belmode also smiled, but behind the seemingly friendly tone, there was a strong sense of oppression. "Now, please take the Pandora in your hand." give it to me."

Before the words fell, following a graceful arc, the gem had already arrived in Belmode's hands.

"It's so straightforward that I'm a little flattered."

"Phantom Thief Kidd has always been a person who keeps his promises. And I don't want to be accidentally injured by those bullets hiding in the dark."

"So you discovered it a long time ago." Accompanied by an elegant gesture, seven or eight people dressed in black suddenly appeared in the darkness, because the abandoned pier no longer needs lights.Kaito couldn't see their faces clearly, but the gun in his hand was very clear under the reflection of the moonlight.

"Hey... If you just retrieve the gems, this kind of battle seems to be a bit bigger." Kaito's voice was a little helpless

"It's indeed a pleasure to deal with a smart person like you, but it's a pity that in this world, there are only two kinds of people who have seen my true face." Belmore looked carefully at the Pandora in his hand, and then revealed A strange expression "My companions and... people who are about to die."

"So that's what I expected. From the very beginning, you planned to kill people after you got the gem." Kaito smiled and shrugged. "I'm right. The popular American actress Chris Wynyard."

"So you already recognized me."

"It's normal, you are a Hollywood star after all. To be honest, when I saw your face in the theater that time, I almost thought it was another silly joke. It wasn't until I observed carefully that you were indeed You are showing your true colors. I was thinking at the time why you were so bold and didn’t use the Disguise Technique, but now the answer seems obvious. Who in the world cares what a dying person sees. "

"Since you have such an awareness, then" after Belmore made a not-so-obvious gesture, the men in black around him raised their guns one after another. "Don't worry, for the sake of finding Pandora, I won't make your death too painful."

"I am very grateful for your kindness. I just don't know how your two guests who are visiting the police station will feel when they hear this. You know, I am the only one who can prove their innocence."

"...I don't quite understand your words."

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just saw how hard they worked with me for three days, so I decided to give them a vacation. Beautiful lady, you don't mind, do you?"

"Impossible, TREEOU, where are you, answer..." Belmore's anxious voice didn't last long.Because she had clearly heard Kaito's voice coming from the intercom belonging to her subordinates.

"When they sneaked out of the backstage to report my whereabouts to you, I quietly followed them out and gave them a little anesthetic." Kaito's tone at this time was as relaxed and humorous as usual in school

"Then, following their voices, I reported my whereabouts to you. Moreover, because I was worried that they would catch a cold, I specially dressed them in my performance costumes for that night. So, I guess they must be regarded as bases now." The suspect in Germany was taken to the police station."

"..."

"I'm thinking, how should they explain to the police why they are wearing Kidd's clothes. Why are they carrying pistols and a lot of high-tech equipment."

"Looks like you're ready."

"Do you really think that I will come to die unprepared?"

"Haha, interesting, really interesting. But there is one thing, don't forget, I know your real identity well, if I tell the police about this information... have you thought about the consequences?"

"That's not a big deal. Because the police won't believe a word you say."

"Oh?"

"Don't you think it's strange? Why did I deliberately participate in the school play on the same night that I stole Pandora."

"Wait a minute, don't you?"

"It seems that you have already understood." Kaito showed a mocking smile on his face, "That's right, the person who stole Pandora on the Crown train was not me at all, but my assistant who was ambushing there beforehand." .He used the transmitter in his pocket to send me Morse code. In this way, I can keep abreast of the situation outside the train and guide him how to steal the gems smoothly. In fact, I have been to 10; Walked with friends for 10 points. Thanks to you, I really had a wonderful night."

"It seems that I really underestimated your strength. Really, I originally wanted to persuade you to join the organization. After all, you are a rare talent. But now, since I have lost the reason to threaten you, I am sorry , it seems that you really have only a dead end tonight."

"Are you really disregarding the safety of your own subordinates?"

"That kind of incompetent guy will only become a stumbling block to the organization." There was an evil breath in Belmode's smile, "Don't worry, I will let them accompany you on Huangquan Road."

'What, is this woman serious? Kaito quickly glanced at the well-trained man in black who was carrying a weapon in front of him again, but he didn't find anyone showing any surprise. 'Is this woman feinting, or is she really planning to sacrifice the lives of her men? '

"Sorry, I don't have time to chat with you anymore, although you are indeed an interesting opponent."

After a simple gesture, the raised pistols were facing the front.Kaito looked at the black muzzle of the gun calmly, without any panic in his eyes

"You guys are so impatient, the show is just about to begin!" The right hand was slowly raised, followed by an elegant snap of the fingers.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Accompanied by three loud bangs, brilliant fireworks lit up the night sky and broke the tranquility of this long-abandoned pier at night.

"You bastard...what are you playing again!" There was no half figure in front of Belmode's eyes.

"Damn it, he escaped."

"In the dictionary of Phantom Thief Kidd, there is never the word escape." I don't know when Kaito was standing behind Belmode.The white muzzle pressed against the back of the head.

"......"

"Have your men lay down their weapons."

"I'm tired of such threats, Kidd will never kill, will he?" There was no panic in his calm tone.

"I really didn't intend to kill you, I just wanted you to go to the police station to accompany your subordinates."

"Oh? I don't know when the thief started to cooperate with the police. Do you think you can catch me without a fight?"

Answer "10,9,8" with a simple smile

"I've said it before, your threat won't work." Even though he said so, he was controlled by others after all, even Belmode would never dare to act rashly.

"6,5,4," No one put down their weapons, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

"3,2,1"

"Beep, beep, beep"

"what sound?"

"It looks like a police car and it's getting closer."

"How could such a place be?"

"Oh, by the way, there is something I forgot to tell you." Kaito's tone was completely like a naughty child. "I found out yesterday when I was investigating Pandora that its owner seemed to have installed an interesting positioning device on it. I Seeing how delicate it is, I didn’t have the heart to take it down. We chatted so happily here, and there were fireworks to add to the fun, I believe that the police who have been busy all day should be willing to join us.”

"You actually...?" Belmode, who was the first to react, was surprised for the first time in his tone, "Don't forget, you are also a wanted criminal by the police, so you are not afraid of being arrested yourself?".

Ai Ai's tone was soft and innocent, like a wronged little fox, "Uncle policeman, I'm so scared? I walked well on the way to school, but was kidnapped here by the bad guys." It must be because I am too cute and pink, so I want to sell me to eat meat, woo woo woo, uncle policeman, you must punish them well, and you must make decisions for me."

In the next second, the expression on his face changed rapidly again, revealing a bright smile, "With my acting skills and your weapons that obviously shouldn't appear in Japan, I believe that even a policeman like an idiot will do something like that." Correct judgment."

"..." If Kaito was facing Belmode, if a person's eyes could kill, Kaito would have died a thousand times already.

"Boss, what should we do, we must retreat immediately."

"Yeah, if this goes on, wouldn't the organization exist?" At this moment, the approaching sirens no longer allowed any extra thinking. Can't help oozing cold sweat, "I really underestimated this kid, if this continues..."

"I advise you to turn yourself in, and I will intercede for you if it doesn't matter."

"Hahaha, Kaito Kidd, what a pity." Belmode's voice was like a bottomless pond. "Actually, I only wanted to kill you alone, but it seems that I was too merciful."

"What do you want to say?" A hint of ominous premonition suddenly enveloped my heart.

"It's so naive, do you really think I only sent two people to follow you?"

The hand holding the gun trembled uncontrollably.

"Do you think you can fool me with such a lie?"

"Believe it or not, Mr. Kidd. In fact, I have known for a long time that you will not hand over the gems obediently. I have seen through your schemes since you decided to act in the school play. So I will follow the scheme and make you feel responsible The subordinates who watched you have all been subdued, and they played a show with you very cooperatively. The only thing I didn't expect was that you would try to use the power of the police. It's a pity that this time, even if you did such a thorough Arrangement, and finally lost to me. Unless, you are willing to watch the girl walking with you..."

"Nonsense!" His face changed instantly, 'Impossible, if there are other people following, wouldn't it be? ...'

After Kaito had to take a deep breath, he managed to stabilize his emotions, "Do you think you can escape by saying that?"

"It seems that you still don't believe me, then I can't help it." Belmode turned his face to the man in black

"In that case, I'm sorry," the tone changed suddenly, "Order, kill that girl named Aoko Nakamori immediately."

The man in black froze for a moment, then showed a clear expression, "It's the boss!"

Soon, a black walkie-talkie appeared in his hand, "Listen, the boss ordered, take the hostage..."
