Chapter 78: Is it similar? Because that is
The Kuroba family was not clear about the working environment and content of the demons, and could not determine when it would be their turn. However, since the other party said they were looking for Kuroba Kaito, it was most likely that an adult would be waiting in the Kuroba house.
But Kuroba Kaito took a few more days off, and the whole family waited for a few days but no one showed up. This waiting time was enough to change the driver's license information three times at the police station in Beika Town, which was often vacant due to excessive attendance.
At this time, the Hei Yu family suddenly realized a problem: the lord-level demon sounded very long-lived, but his concept of time might be different from that of humans. By the time she was done with her work, Hei Yu Kaito might have already died.
So Kuroba Kaito went to ask for advice from the magic professional Koizumi Hongzi.
Koizumi Akako: "...How could a lord-level demon who can move and work in the human world make such a low-level mistake? She even knows the lottery numbers and even has the contact information. Do you think she could set an alarm for herself?"
The magic side and the science side are not completely opposite and exclusive. She and her mother, as heirs of red magic, even have mobile phones.
Kuroba Kaito rubbed his head sheepishly. "Yeah, sorry. I've been dealing with personal matters and preparing the notice lately, so I might be a little overwhelmed."
Koizumi Hongzi's gaze swept across the dark circles beneath Kuroba Kaito's eyes, and she said bluntly, "You've exhausted yourself to this point without even attending school. You're truly in a mess. But you should be more cautious. Do you remember this magic crystal you left with me?"
Koizumi Hongzi took out a blue-purple crystal the size of a fingernail from her pocket. In the center of the crystal was a slowly rotating black shadow.
Kuroba Kaito: "I remember you said this magic crystal is similar to human DNA, and that it can be used to determine an opponent's strength and power attributes. Back then, you used this to determine that [Umekawa Kuko] was a lord-level demon with hidden attributes. Then you left this crystal and said it might reveal more. So, have you found any results yet?"
Koizumi Hongzi returned the crystal to Kuroba Kaito: "No, or you could say there is a result."
Kuroba Kaito noticed Koizumi Anko's unusually serious expression, and his heart sank. "What's going on?"
Koizumi Hongzi: "A lord-level demon wouldn't remain nameless, so after you left, I summoned Lucifer, the Lord of Hell, to investigate the origins of this crystal's owner..."
Kuroba Kaito: Who? Lucifer, the Lord of Hell? Oh my god, is my classmate's network so wide?
Wait...Lord of Hell???
Kuroba Kaito's expression changed drastically as he grabbed Koizumi Anko's shoulder. "Will this put you in danger? What did you pay for him to help you?"
"Of course there's no danger. Don't question my expertise with those amateurish TV dramas you watch." Koizumi Hongzi was startled by Kuroba Kaito and said, "As long as we ask Lucifer the question as soon as he comes out, and before he gets angry and tears up the summoning paper and hang up on him, there won't be any risk."
......ah?
Kuroba Kaito let go of his hand, stunned.
Is there really such a way to force a phone card bug and get Lucifer, the lord of hell, for free?
"Anyway, my inquiries yielded no results," Koizumi Hongzi said. "Lucifer said the power contained in this crystal doesn't belong to this world at all. The demon is most likely from another world."
Kuroba Kaito: "She did say she had been to many hells, but at that time I thought she was joking."
"This isn't a joke. This is a very dangerous and serious matter!" Koizumi Hongzi felt that since meeting Kuroba Kaito, her low blood pressure problem should have been completely eradicated. "If it's the magical power of this world, I can always find a way to deal with it. But from another world... Forget about how to expel it or the source of its power. You don't even know its real name."
Kuroba Kaito: "Don't worry, don't worry, Anko, didn't you say that she's an extremely powerful demon? If she had any ill intentions towards me, she would have attacked me long ago. And she gets along well with the people at Tokyo Jujutsu High School. She's certified by the Jujutsu Masters, so she should be trustworthy."
Koizumi Hongzi: "It's because she's involved with the Neon Curse World that I told you to be careful. There's not a single normal person in the Neon Curse World. They're simply unregistered fugitives from a lunatic asylum, and only the crazier the person, the longer they live."
Kuroba Kaito thought to himself that when we first met, you wanted to kill me with your scythe just because I was the only man who was not interested in you. You used magic to control Officer Nakamori to shoot me, and forced me to eat chocolate that you had drugged with magic to turn me into a servant... In terms of madness and danger, it seems that you are about the same as the sorcerer, even much higher than that lord-level demon lady.
Of course, Kuroba Kaito didn't dare say this, because if he said it, he would be gone.
Koizumi Hongzi: "Anyway, that alien demon will definitely come looking for you soon. You'd better stop your Phantom Thief activities for now and find another time."
The invitation letter was sent the day before Kuroba Kaito received the postcard. At that time, he had no way of predicting so many things would happen later. The Phantom Thief activities were also one of the reasons why Kuroba Kaito could not rest well in a short period of time.
"Running away from the battlefield isn't Kaito Kid's style. Don't worry, Hongzi, this time Kaito Kid's performance will be just as perfect as before."
Kuroba Kaito thought this was not a big problem. This time, he not only had old man Terai Konosuke behind him, but also his parents, who had more experience as phantom thieves than himself. It could be said that this was the operation with the richest rear support since Kuroba Kaito became Phantom Thief Kidd.
As for the devil lady who has been waiting for a long time, there is no problem at all. The only time the Phantom Thief activity takes is a little longer in the early preparations, but the actual process of stealing gems is mostly quick and decisive. He has been waiting for so long and there has been no movement from the other side. It is impossible that his number will come when he is playing Phantom Thief Kidd.
Kuroba Kaito is still too young and he doesn't know that there is a wonderful cosmic will in the world.
For example, if you suddenly lose something, it will suddenly appear again when you forget about it or no longer need it; for example, the express delivery definitely did not arrive when you went out, but when you returned home you received a pick-up notification from the express delivery station, and so on.
But people always grow up. When Kaito Kidd pried open the giant safe and found the female devil that his family had been waiting for these days standing inside, and the corpse lying next to her, he deeply felt the malice of the universe.
"Hey, your turn has come." The female demon glanced at the hideous corpse next to her and said, "Oh... am I here at the wrong time?"
Kaito Kidd: "This is such a bad time, Miss."
The demon looked at the corpse at his feet. "Is that why? You're such a fool! Why kill someone in this place? The blood seeps through the metal cracks and it's hard to clean up."
Kaito Kidd was anxious: "I didn't kill anyone! He was like this when I came in! Wait, don't come out yet, there are cameras outside... Well, I mean, if you are in a hurry, you can leave and go to my house. Someone will talk to you there. I have to wait until the murderer is found before I can end this."
"I'm not in a hurry, and it's going to be fun for you," the demon said with a smile. "I've just finished several hellish overtime missions and got a full week's sleep. I'm currently working the morning and afternoon shifts, and after get off work I have a long holiday. Like a worker or student, I'm full of tolerance and hope for everything in the world."
What's so interesting about a murder scene? And you didn't reply to the message before because you were catching up on sleep?
Before Kaito Kidd could say this, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
The door slammed loudly and Conan made a grand appearance!
Edogawa Conan: "I caught you, Kaito Kid! As expected, the one who lured away the other guards just now was just a decoy... What's that expression on your face... Wait, where's the curator in the safe?"
"Wait a minute..." Kaito Kidd was just thinking of stopping Conan to disguise the devil in the box, but when he turned around, he found that the devil smiled and disappeared on the spot.
Kaito Kidd gave up trying to stop him: "... Never mind, it's okay, come here."
Magic is really good at cheating.
Edogawa Conan looked at Kid in confusion, then quickly rushed to the safe and saw the curator's body inside. He sighed, "...Again? Why do you always encounter murders?"
Cheng Xiaoyu, who was floating invisible at the scene: What, is this still a TV series?
"Do you have the right to say that?" Kaito Kidd had just finished speaking when his left shoulder felt like it was poked by a finger. Following the force, he saw the door kicked open by Edogawa Conan and immediately reacted, "Let's not talk about this for now. You made such a big noise that the guards might be here soon. Hurry up and find a way to clear my name!"
Edogawa Conan: "...Are you, a thief, really 'innocent'?"
Kaito Kidd: "A thief is always more innocent than a murderer!"
"No, after tonight there will be no difference between the two, because after tonight everyone will know that Kaito Kidd is a murderer."
A group of burly men in black suits and black hats blocked the door, pointing their guns directly at Kaito Kid and Conan, and the leader sneered.
"Although someone outside the assassination plan appeared, it's because this kid was damn smart and avoided your tricks."
The overwhelming black attire and the unfriendly aura almost triggered Conan Edogawa's PTSD, but Kaito Kid's shout of "Venomous Snake" calmed him down again, and he realized that the person in front of him should be a member of another underground black organization, and the target was Kaito Kid, not himself.
"Die, Kaito Kidd!"
Viper and his men grinned and pulled the trigger at the two men in front of them. Fire burst out from the front of the barrel, and then...
All of them hit the bulletproof glass wall behind the two of them, forming an irregular circle.
Conan Edogawa was protected by Kaito Kid's cloak and behind him. When he saw the bulletproof glass had a circle made up of dots, he immediately activated his football belt and shoes, and kicked the ball with all his strength, directly breaking the bulletproof glass.
The biting cold wind from high altitude made it difficult for the gunmen to maintain their balance. Kaito Kid immediately grabbed Edogawa Conan, spread out his glider and ran away.
"That magic trick you just performed to deflect the bullet was pretty good." Edogawa Conan, who had just escaped from the sky, said in mid-air, "What's the principle? I couldn't figure it out for a moment. It was like magic."
Kaito Kid: "The principles of magic are a secret to the audience. If you want to know, rack your brains, Detective."
Isn't it amazing? Isn't it magical? Doesn't it seem like magic? Because it is magic!
"Of course I will find the truth, but not now. The most important thing for us now is to find a way to land before the land breeze blows to the middle of the sea." Edogawa Conan looked around trying to find a place to land, but suddenly he was stunned and poked Kaito Kidd's belly with his elbow: "...Hey, Kaito Kidd."
Kaito Kidd: "What?"
Conan Edogawa: "Your glider propeller is broken, but why are we still flying against the wind?"
Kaito Kidd: "......"
I said this is actually a magic trick, do you believe it?
