The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Hearing Koizumi Hongzi's words, the dwarf housekeeper was a little surprised, "Is there something dirty?"

"Lord Hongzi, the house has been completely cleaned this morning..."

Koizumi Hongzi frowned, looked around carefully, and slowly shook her head, "No, the dirty things just appeared in the house."

Qin Zhibo, who was standing aside, glanced at Minase Yomeng who was floating in the air without leaving any trace.

dirty stuff……

At this time, Minase Youmu also turned his attention to Koizumi Anko, and finally understood what Koizumi Anko was talking about her.

"dirty stuff?!"

"This beautiful girl is not dirty! You are the dirty one!"

"Your whole family is filthy!"

Minase Harumu floated on Koizumi Anko's head and waved his fist angrily.

But the most she could do with her fists was to make gestures in the air, and could not cause any real harm to Koizumi Hongzi.

"Forget it, maybe it's because I consumed too much magic power just now. In fact, I felt the same way when I was in the park just now..."

Koizumi Anko turned her gaze back and did not see Minase Youmeng who was practicing boxing above her head. She turned to look at the "mummy" brought by Qin Zhibo.

"What is this you are bringing?"

"It's the body of a friend. I want you to help resurrect him."

"resurrection?"

Koizumi Hongzi was shocked, "You can't make a mistake, right? You want me to resurrect him?"

"Who do you think I am? I'm not the legendary magician Ebon. How can I have the ability to resurrect the dead?"

"And even the great magician has no record that he mastered powerful magic that can bring the dead back to life!"

Koizumi Hongzi's reaction was somewhat strong, which was also expected by Qin Zhibo.

After all, "bringing back the dead" is a time-reversal technique that far exceeds common sense. If magic could even do this, the world would probably belong to magicians long ago.

However, precisely because it exceeded common sense, Qin Zhibo could only ask Koizumi Hongzi, a witch, to help him give it a try.

"But you are the future heir of the Red Magic Clan, a beautiful and powerful witch. If even you can't do it, who else can help me?"

Qin Zhibo, with a strong drama accent, flattered the witch.

When Koizumi Anko heard this, she covered her mouth with the back of her hand like a lady and let out her signature laugh.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh——"

Seeing that Koizumi Hongzi was really useful, Qin Zhibo continued: "I remember that there is a witchcraft in Voodoo called 'Resurrection Corpse', which can make the body of the deceased continue to exist in a 'living' way."

"I wonder if there is something similar in the witch's magic..."

Koizumi Anko immediately shook her head, "I have heard of the resurrected corpse, but it is different from the voodoo doll. It is not a witchcraft that can be used by laymen."

"The dead who are 'resurrected' using the Resurrection Spell are not truly resurrected, but the living dead between life and death. Their souls are not in their own bodies, but in the caster's place."

"But for a mere human to dare to drive the spirits of the dead is an extremely stupid and dangerous thing in itself."

As a witch, Koizumi Hongzi has a good understanding of voodoo witchcraft and can even use low-level witchcraft such as voodoo dolls.

In the previous operation in Abeido Park, Koizumi Anko used a voodoo doll to "curse" Gin.

Two key elements need to be achieved to use a voodoo doll. One is to make a voodoo doll exclusive to the cursed person, and the other is to pay the "price".

If you want to curse a specific person, you need to make a voodoo doll exclusive to that person, and two conditions need to be met.

First, a voodoo doll with a similar appearance must be made based on the target's appearance.

Secondly, the voodoo doll must have a "double" of the target in its body, something that the cursed person once possessed.

That voodoo doll was a voodoo doll made by Koizumi Anko through the special vision of the crystal ball and based on the appearance of Gin, which satisfied the first condition.

The "clone" is the embers of the photo brought by "Qin Zhibo". That photo can also be regarded as Ginjiu's "clone" because it was Ginjiu who gave it to Qin Zhibo.

To make a voodoo doll, if you want the curse to have actual effects, you have to pay a corresponding price.

For example, the price Koizumi Anko pays is her own magic power. Every time she stabs Gin's voodoo doll, she needs to pay her own magic power.

If a non-magic Muggle uses a voodoo doll, his luck will be paid accordingly.

Those who curse others will also be cursed themselves. For example, if a voodoo doll is discovered, it will lead to ruin and so on. In fact, this is the "price" demanded by the doll.

All witchcraft in Voodoo basically follows the logic of "cost", just like the ex-boyfriend who once wanted to curse and kill Okino Yoko. If he wanted to kill someone, he had to commit suicide first.

Even if the "price" of using witchcraft is compensated with magic power, it will not be completely offset. Koizumi Anko herself will still be affected to some extent in the future.

Therefore, she rarely uses voodoo dolls. The last time she used them, and the first time she used them, was against Kaito Kidd.

This also led to her being tricked by her own magic during the school Christmas ski competition, causing a series of embarrassing things.

As for what the embarrassing incident was, Koizumi Hongzi didn't want to say it, and Qin Zhibo didn't ask in detail.

"If you come into contact with the resurrected corpse easily, the price will probably be something that no living person can repay..."

Koizumi Hongzi's tone was deep and serious. She was seriously admonishing Qin Zhibo not to have such evil thoughts.

But in fact, Qin Zhibo had come into contact with resurrected corpses and the voodoo believers who made them before, and learned some details about "resurrected corpses".

To create a resurrected corpse, someone must be killed by tetrodotoxin.

Secondly, Qin Zhibo speculated that some witchcraft related to Baron Samedi, the "Lord of the Dead Tombs", would be needed to resurrect the person.

Baron Samedi is the god of death believed in voodoo and one of the clones of Chaos.

And I once narrowly escaped death from Baron Samedi, but because of this, I also "made a grudge" with him, and I need to be wary of his other thousand forms.

Therefore, due to various constraints, Qin Zhibo did not really think that the resurrected corpse was a good way to resurrect Akai Shuichi.

But if he didn't put forward the idea, he wouldn't be able to arouse Koizumi Hongzi's desire to think, and he would reject it completely.

Qin Zhibo continued: "Actually, I am using a special container to protect his soul."

"Is it possible to resurrect the body alone without dissipating the soul? Would that be simpler?"

Qin Zhibo lowered the difficulty for Koizumi Hongzi, although the hope is still slim.

But Koizumi Hongzi's eyes changed slightly, as if she had thought of something.

"If that's the case, maybe there really is a way..."

The excitement in Qin Zhibo's eyes was undisguised, "Really?"

Koizumi Anko turned her head and said seriously: "Actually, in addition to our red magic, there are six other colors of magic among the witches."

"All witches correspond to the seven colors of the rainbow, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple."

"Correspondingly, witches with different colors of magic are good at using different magics."

"For example, our red magic clan's best magic is controlling flames!"

As she spoke, Koizumi Anko raised a finger, and a little flame lit up her delicate fingertips, and she waved her hand towards the extinguished white candle by the window.

Suddenly, the candle head was lit by the flame, giving off a dim light.

"Wow!" Minase Youmu screamed in admiration, shouting, "One more! One more!"

However, Koizumi Hongzi ignored her and continued the introduction.

"Among the seven colors of magic, the green magic family is best at the magic of bringing the dead back to life."

"But strictly speaking, that kind of magic cannot be called 'resurrection', but a kind of life restoration."

"Their magic must be based on the condition that the body of the deceased is intact, the death time is not long, and the soul has not left the body."

Koizumi Hongzi's words brought hope to Qin Zhibo, but he didn't expect that there was magic that could bring people back to life.

He is simply Conan’s nemesis!

"So where can I find a witch of the green magic family?"

At this time, the butler who had been standing nearby spoke, with his gloomy voice.

"This is almost impossible. Given the tragic history of witch hunting in the Middle Ages, witches today are very focused on hiding their identities. It is almost impossible for outsiders to distinguish the existence of witches."

"Lord Hongzi behaves in such a high-profile manner, yet he actually uses magic in public..."

The butler's tone was somewhat dissatisfied, and there was something in his words.

Koizumi Anko closed her eyes and reached out to stop the housekeeper from continuing.

Qin Zhibo knew that he was not satisfied with Koizumi Hongzi's use of voodoo dolls to help him outside. This was not in line with the witch's usual low-key code of conduct.

For this, Qin Zhibo is also very grateful. The two of them now not only have the unified goal of "going to Enkai", but they also feel like comrades-in-arms.

Koizumi Anko continued to add: "Even if you find a witch from the green magic family, she will not use that kind of magic for you."

"Because the essence of that kind of magic is the balance of energy between two lives. If you want to restore one party, you must consume the life energy of the other party. As a result, the witch will age or even die."

"No witch would use this kind of magic on a stranger..."

Qin Zhibo's face was shocked, and he realized that the topic seemed to have returned to "cost".

For things like life recovery, even magic power cannot be used as the price of recovery, but can only be used as a means to pay the price.

"unless……"

Koizumi Hongzi suddenly changed the topic, "Becoming the Supreme Witch is a different matter..."

"Supreme Witch?" The title is a good one, but it is named before "Witch". Qin Zhibo feels that it is somewhat reasonable, "What does this mean?"

The butler next to him came forward again and explained.

"The Supreme Witch is the most powerful witch who combines seven colors of magic. Since the seven colors together are black, she is also called the 'Black Witch'."

"The emergence of the Supreme Witch needs to be established through a gathering of witches. It must not only pass the assessment of the 'Seven Formations', but also be crowned by the 'God of the Witch Sabbat'."

"After becoming the Supreme Witch, you can command the entire witch assembly..."

Koizumi Anko nodded and added, "When the time comes, just order a witch from the green magic family to resurrect your friend. You must agree even if you pay the price of your life."

Qin Zhibo looked a little surprised when he heard that there was such a clearly stated inheritance system among witches.

"It's a pity that the Supreme Witch has disappeared for hundreds of years. The seven witches now are scattered. I'm afraid there will be no Supreme Witch in the future..."

The butler poured a basin of cold water on them at the right time to make them give up the idea.

But Qin Zhibo had a new idea.

"Since there is no Supreme Witch now, how about letting Koizumi Hongzi become the Supreme Witch?"

"You mean me?" Koizumi Hongzi was a little surprised and speechless.

The butler man also said slightly: "Although Lord Hongzi is very talented in magic, unfortunately, he is still far from being able to become the supreme witch."

"The Supreme Witch must pass the 'seven formations' assessment in front of all the witches, that is..."

"The Purple Magic Clan's teleportation..."

"The mind control of the Yellow Magic Clan..."

"The blue magic family's teleportation..."

"The divination prophecy of the Blue Magic Clan..."

"The resurrection of the green magic clan..."

"The soul of the orange magic clan left the body..."

"The last one is the flame control of our Red Magic clan."

"Right now, Hongzi-sama, in addition to controlling flames, which is best at red magic, the only thing he can also use is divination and prophecy. As for mind control, he can barely get by with the help of magic props and magic arrays."

"It's still very early to pass the Seven Formation Assessment at this level."

This time the housekeeper rarely flattered him, but told the truth.

But Qin Zhibo still did not give up his idea and calmly analyzed: "Although her current level is not enough, don't forget where we are going next."

Koizumi Hongzi was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"Enkai..."

Enkai, the ultimate magic abyss located in the underground world of Kunyang, is also a holy place in the eyes of magicians.

If you can reach Enkai safely, you may gain something from it, just like the legendary great magician Ebon.

According to legend, Yibon obtained powerful magic that transcended time and space in Enkai, and there were even rumors that he used this magic to settle on Saturn.

Such a powerful magician has surpassed the so-called Supreme Witch.

If you can obtain the "profound knowledge" hidden deep in Enkai, you will naturally be able to pass the test of the Supreme Witch.

As it happened, Qin Zhibo had just received his "ticket" to Enkai, and now he only needed a plane ticket.

Koizumi Hongzi originally wanted to go to Enkai in order to find her mother who disappeared many years ago.

14 years ago, Koizumi Hongzi's mother, like many magicians who pursue powerful magic, went deep into the underground world and never came back.

"Lord Hongzi! Do you really want to go to that place?"

Seeing that the trip to Enkai seemed to be a foregone conclusion, the usually gloomy housekeeper suddenly asked excitedly.
