magician under the moon

Conan walked forward slowly, and looked at Kidd who had fallen asleep in the corner with a complicated expression.The reason and firmness of being a detective dissipated at this moment.A little surprised, a little overwhelmed, because he found that he couldn't bear it in his heart.Is that really the end?The strongest opponent of all time, the man who appears like a white elf whenever night falls, just like that...

He shook his head fiercely, "Don't think so much, I'm a detective, and it's my duty to arrest criminals, no matter what, I must notify the police to arrest them now"

Conan took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a series of numbers, "Hey, Officer Nakamori......Ah! What!"

Before Conan could react, the phone had already fallen to the ground, and what was even more incomprehensible was that what knocked it down was nothing but a playing card that had been stuck into the marble floor.

"Impossible!" Conan, who realized something, turned his head in shock, only to find that Kidd, who was sitting on the ground, still maintained his original posture, but at some point there was a raised white pistol in his hand .

"You, aren't you...?"

"Little detective, I also give you a piece of advice." Kidd stood up slowly in an extremely graceful posture, staring directly at his opponent with clear eyes, "The phantom thief Kidd you are talking about is... a thief!"

"You!" Conan, who saw clearly what was on Kidd's wrist, had no time to dodge. The next second, accompanied by a slight stabbing pain, Conan fell into a coma.

Before the head touched the ground, a warm hand gently held Conan's head.Kidd picked up the child on the ground effortlessly and placed it on a chair beside him.

"Sorry, I don't want to go to the police station to report for now, there are more important things waiting for me tonight."

Ignoring the stunned eyes around him, Kidd walked towards the subway exit, but after three steps, he stopped and glanced at the boy who was wandering with Zhou Gong behind him.

After hesitating for a moment, he still couldn't help sighing, walked to the corner, and picked up the phone that he had just knocked down.He called up the address book and cleared his throat.

"Hey, sister Xiaolan? It's me, Conan." Kidd imitated the immature childish voice, "Brother Xinyi said to send me home, but he didn't know where he went. Sister Xiaolan, I'm here now." Jiangtian Station on Line [-], can you come and pick me up?......Mmmm...Okay, hurry up, I'll wait for you!"

Glancing at Conan who was sleeping soundly beside him, Kidd thought angrily, "Really, it's none of my business, I don't know what's wrong with me, and I even found you a warm place to sleep." , Kudo Shinichi, you owe me twice today. '

Kidd put down his phone and was about to leave again, but found that he couldn't move.for he is surrounded.

"My God, you are really Lord Kidd! I thought you were joking with that child just now!"

"No way, I actually met a real person here, Master Kidd, I am your loyal fan!"

"Master Kidd, please sign for me!"

In the originally silent waiting hall, all kinds of sounds erupted in an instant, making people's ears numb. Facing the crowd that suddenly surrounded him, Kidd couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. Forget this is....public! ! ! '

"Master Kidd, what are you going to steal tonight!"

"What do you mean by your notice letter? I've been thinking about it all night!"

"Master Kidd..."

There was buzzing in my ears, and I couldn't hear what I was saying.The crowd that was getting closer and closer was almost out of breath.

"Everyone!"

Kidd's voice successfully stopped the scene that was almost out of control, and everyone quieted down, ready to listen to his next words.

Because of the mask, people couldn't see Kidd's facial expression clearly, but the voice was still clearly transmitted.

"I'm really sorry for delaying everyone's return home. I really want to continue to communicate with you here, but unfortunately, I have important things to do tonight, so please forgive my rudeness and leave first."

After snapping their fingers, everyone was surprised to find that there was no one among them. The people who looked at each other only heard a charming voice in the air, which became the last indelible memory of this special night.

"I look forward to meeting you next time under the moonlight."

'Thanks to you, it's still early, why don't we go have dinner first, should we eat noodles or rice? Kidd mixed into the crowd, thinking happily. 'For the sake of the time you left for me for dinner, let's say you owe me a favor, Kudo Shinichi. '

====================================================================== ================

At 7:40, the moment of night really comes. People who are unwilling to endure the darkness try to imitate the day with shiny neon lights, but finally ironically decorate the city, as it is now, grotesque.In fact, the original intention of the inventors of neon lights was to use the faint light to dispel the inherent fear of darkness and the evils that occur in the darkness.But the cruel fact is that artificial light can only make people see clearly all the evils that happen at night.Because at the beginning of human birth, evil spirits have been hidden in people's nature.

At 7:40 tonight, evil, like the indelible nightmare of thousands of human beings, will reappear in the Qingtian Exhibition Hall.

"What? That nasty Kaitou Kidd, dare to release our police pigeons!"

"That's not true, he just treated us like children, but this Kidd is really capable, I have never met a criminal as bold as him."

"I heard that the thief is quite popular. I really don't understand what people think nowadays."

The police officers left their posts aggrieved and prepared to go home to rest.It's okay to guard for a day, and I have to work overtime at night, but I still get nothing. Hey, it's not easy to be a policeman.

'I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long.However, this can't be entirely blamed on me, Mr. Kidd, it's because you didn't decipher my notice letter yourself! '

A figure in the corner quietly sneaked into the originally heavily guarded exhibition hall after everyone left.

The transparent glass reflected the cold moonlight, and the neon lights cast uneven hues on the marble floor.In the quiet night, the empty exhibition hall presents a different style from the daytime.Especially the disturbing smell flowing in the air, which disturbed people to some extent.

But for a person looking for the truth, calm analysis, excellent psychological quality, and insightful judgment are all indispensable weapons.The Kaitou Kidd already owns these, let alone throw them away at this time.

He walked lightly to the showcase in the center of the hall, and glanced at the azure diamond sleeping in it.

'hope'?What an ironic name, it is obviously a diamond that brought disaster to its owner, maybe it also brought bad luck to his father and himself, yet it was endowed with the most beautiful word that human beings can think of, hope.Is it just a coincidence, or is the god implying human beings in the dark, hope, just like the explanation in ancient myths, is just hopeless waiting.So, can the hope in my heart become an exception?

The sound of slight footsteps and breathing, just at this moment, came unexpectedly from far and near.Kidd smiled slightly, turned around gracefully, and greeted like a gentleman of high society, "Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Kaitou Kidd, may I ask you, your name."

"Are you asking me?" The deep voice, with a sense of vicissitudes, but childlike cunning, after reaching the ear, it seemed to carry a hint of mockery, "Unfortunately, I like Equivalent exchange, since you are not going to reveal your real name, then, it is difficult to tell me my name."

Kidd, who was not going to entangle himself in unnecessary questions, continued to ask, "Then may I ask why you are here at this time."

"It's very simple, the diamond behind you belongs to me."

Only then did Kidd see the appearance of this person clearly with a little light.A very ordinary face shape, neither square nor round, with a few wrinkles around the corners of his eyes, revealing his age.Like many middle-aged men, there was nothing memorable about this man.There are only two slight differences. One is that this person's tall and well-proportioned figure, especially the looming muscles under the not too thick clothes, shows that he may have received good training.The second is that when you stare into his eyes, you will find a chilling, gloomy feeling.

"I've been waiting for a long time." The casual question is actually a kind of temptation.

Hearing the implication, he answered calmly without any pretense, "I just arrived, but you were the one who arrived 10 minutes earlier. Mr. Magician under the moon."

Just a few short words of dialogue have already made some things so simple as to be self-evident.Apparently, the owner of this 'Hope', who did not want to be named, is by no means an ordinary person.

"I'm a little curious, Mr. Strange Thief Kidd, why did you seize this diamond again after ten years. After all, in people's legends, this is a gemstone that will bring bad luck to people."

"I'm also quite curious, this unknown gentleman, where did you get this diamond?"

"Don't you know?" The middle-aged man spread his hands exaggeratedly, "That's really strange, you should know better than anyone else!"

"..." Kidd raised his eyebrows slightly, some tricky questions had to be answered carefully so as not to show his feet.

The other party seemed to be worried that Kidd would not understand, and teasingly added a sentence at this time, "...at least, eight years ago!"

At this second, the heart almost stopped beating. It was hesitant just now, but now it was really surprised and unable to answer.

"What did you say just now?" With a trembling tone, even Kidd, who is known for being good at changing his voice, had moments when he couldn't control his voice.

As if deliberately teasing Kidd, the middle-aged man smiled slightly, "You know, Pandora?"

"You!" His eyes widened in surprise, "Who the hell are you?"

"Hehe, such a big reaction? Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about Pandora in Greek mythology!"

His head was dizzy, and his ever-changing thoughts ran in it, so that Kidd, who was always wise, didn't even hear the weirdness in the other party's words at this time.

"Did you know that in the Pandora's box that Zeus gave to mankind, the only good thing is 'hope'. Now, you want to take away this last gift, are you not afraid that from now on, there will only be despair in the world?" ?”

Wei Wei stabilized his mind, and Kidd resumed his usual tone, a strong self-confidence emerged from his words, "You misunderstood, it is because it is the only beautiful gift from the gods, so I want Open the magic box and take away my hope."

The middle-aged man sighed slightly, "If you find out that the last hope that was taken away after going through hardships is just a deceitful scam, you will not get any comfort because of it, but will tear open your scars and will Don't you care if the bloody truth is revealed and you get deeper despair?"

"Since what's there is the truth, even if it's really bloody, I still have to use my own eyes to investigate." The moonlight shines gracefully, outlining a white, psychedelic silhouette, young and determined The voice echoed in the empty hall, "Even if the hope bestowed by God is just a hoax, I will still take it and use my own hands to turn it into real hope!"

"It's not easy to change what the gods have set." The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback, and looked at Kidd in front of him with rather complicated eyes, "However, since you really have such determination, I will return this 'hope' to its original owner."

Without hesitation, the middle-aged man simply turned around and left.

"Huh?" The theft was so smooth that it made people feel overwhelmed. "Please wait a minute, sir, the purpose of my coming here today is not this...!"

Before he finished speaking, the man in front of him disappeared like a miracle with a puff of white smoke.

There is only one piece of advice that is half-understood, "But please remember, from now on, your destiny will be rewritten accordingly."
