Chapter 429 The correct way to remove the vest

As soon as Kidd was mentioned, Jiang Xia immediately thought of what she had heard about the Suzuki Art Museum when she ran into Ma Lilan on the Big Dipper train a few days ago.

However, considering the seasons, there is still some time before the opening of the museum.

So this time, Kidd did not go to Osaka for activities, but issued a notice to Tokyo for a gem called "Red Ghost".

Jiang Xia carefully recalled the key words, but did not have much impression, so he realized with a little regret that in this incident, I am afraid there are no ghosts to pick up.

However, in any case, having an energy core is not a loss. It just so happens that he has nothing to do at night, so he can take time to check the situation...

In the evening, Jiang Xia finished sending cats, locked the door of the office, and returned home.

The location that Kidd announced was not far from his home. The puppet framed by the fog tengu hurried quickly again.

Jiang Xia then finished dinner, washed up, and as usual, fell on the bed and covered the quilt.

Then he skillfully left the body at home, letting the shikigami and ghosts pour out of the house.

Metaphysical materials are piled up in hidden corners and condensed into the appearance of a fog tengu.

Jiang Xia first looked around to find the usual puppet kit, put it in his wide sleeve, and then took off in the dark and went straight to the target.

Today is a full moon.

On the top of the Ben Thanh Museum, Kidd put away the cable and clinged to the outer edge of the window sill of the building like a piece of light dust.

Kidd's house hides a secret room of phantom thieves, which contains various equipment left by his father, Kuroba, and some teaching recordings.

Today, Kidd suddenly learned through the recording that in addition to magic, there are unscientific magic in this world.

...The world view was suddenly broken, and he thought he would be surprised.

But not.

Later, when he saw the white suit in the secret room that symbolized the identity of the phantom thief, Kidd was silent for a moment, and suddenly understood why he was so indifferent.

- What is magic? He has even seen real monsters, and he has even been robbed by Wutiangu many times face to face. Now his acceptance of the world view has long since broken the limitations of science...

Kidd quickly forgot about magic and the like, and concentrated on preparing for today's theft plan.

But now, after arriving at the building where the target gem is located.

For some reason, Kidd suddenly became restless again.

He looked left and right at the empty building, thinking that his uneasiness might be due to the abnormality of the police - the Nakamori police department did not bring a bunch of people to block him outside the building today... Could it be that the main trap was set in the exhibition hall inside?

Kidd supported the brim of his hat, carefully pried open the window, fell into the building, and followed the quiet corridor to the exhibition hall.

His figure disappeared behind the corner.

Another figure hovered and descended from the sky, hovering beside the window that Kidd had pried open.

Jiang Xia observed for a moment in the foggy vest, folded his wings, and landed on the windowsill.

He looked through the window to where Kidd disappeared, then looked back at the empty night, slightly puzzled.

A wispy black line spread from a very far distance, one end was tied to Kidd, and the other end extended far away, with no end in sight.

Jiang Xia stared at this strange black line passing by the window for a while, carefully avoiding it, pushed open the window, and fell into the building.

After stood firm, he walked a few steps along the black line in the direction of Kidd, and couldn't help but turned his head to look at the smoke-like line.

It looks like a lengthened murderous aura.

But apart from the appearance, from the point of view of taste and contained energy, this is different from murderous aura.

hesitated for a moment, Jiang Xia was still curious, and tentatively raised his hand and touched it.

...It's cooler, it feels soft, and it's tough when it's tightened -- it also feels like murderous aura.

After a short pause, Jiang Xia tried to take out a sealed ghost mint, took it apart, and shook it beside the black wire.

The illusory black line still flows quietly between Kidd and the unknown target, and there is no sign of being absorbed by the ghost mint at all.

...It doesn't seem to be really murderous.

So what is this?

Jiang Xia studied for a while, but did not understand it. So I gave up temporarily, and decided to wait for Kidd to get the gem, and then follow the line to take a look depending on the situation.

...Speaking of which, although there is no detailed information about Kidd in his spoiler memory bank, he vaguely remembers that Kidd has a female classmate who can know magic.

This line may be made by the witch.

I don't know what her purpose is... But for now, let's concentrate on grabbing Kidd's energy core. At least that's what you can see right now.

Jiang Xia put away the ghost mint again, and followed the murderous black line to the place where Kidd was.

"Dragon whiskers, fish tears, Kappa's eyes, and Kuroba Kaito's handkerchief... With such simple materials, the last man who refuses to bow down under my skirt will disappear completely."

In the gloomy castle, Koizumi Hongko was wearing a soft robe, her red eyes reflected the palm-sized Kid doll and a piece of heart-shaped chocolate in front of her, and her tone was lazy: "Although the result is satisfactory, it doesn't help. Difficult obedience is boring."

The burly servant who was over one meter held her wand and stood behind him respectfully: "You are just getting back what you should have. It's really hard to have fun in this process."

Koizumi Koriko raised her chin slightly, reluctantly agreeing with the first half of the servant's sentence.

She put the magic chocolate next to her, played with the miniature Kid doll in her hand, and prepared to wait for the dark clouds to dissipate.

Koizumi Koriko is the orthodox heir of Red Magic.

A while ago, she had nothing to do with a magic mirror for divination, and asked a question: Who is the most beautiful person in this world.

The magic mirror said respectfully: The most beautiful person in the world is Miss Hongzi, and all men will become her captives...except the phantom thief Kidd.

Koizumi Koizumi listened with a smile on her lips, and then smashed the mirror with a click - she was very dissatisfied with the last "except".

After , Koizumi Koizumi came to school on Valentine's Day, and unexpectedly found that among the group of boys who wanted chocolate around her, there was a special person - Kuroba Kaito.

After Koizumi Hongko was surprised, she made a simple inference in her mind:

It is known that all men in the world will become her captives except for the thief Kidd;

Knowing that Kuroba Kaito could say "don't want her chocolate"...

... There is only one truth, Kuroba Kaito is Kaito Kid!

After neatly taking off Kidd's vest, Koizumi Hongko decided to erase this unique exception.
