Chapter 26 Ryouna's Way to Fortune Pandora's Gem
The exhibition was about to begin, and the invited guests came in one after another. Liangnai, wearing the high-ranking official uniform that identified her, stood not far from the entrance and observed.
She wore a hidden headset in her left ear to keep in touch with the bodyguards in various places in the venue at any time.
"Logically speaking, it should be here soon..."
Ryounai glanced down at her watch. "Didn't we say we were on the way?"
A cool breeze blew by, causing her to rub her arms, feeling that something bad was going to happen.
"Ryona?" Xiaolan and Sonoko greeted in surprise. They didn't expect to see Kirihara Ryona here.
"Are you here for the exhibition, too?"
The two of them looked hesitant. They didn't know much about Ryouna. So Ryouna was also interested in these things?
"Ha! I see. Ryouna must have come here to admire the heroic figure of Kidd-sama, right?"
Sonoko warmly put her arm around Ryouna's neck and said, "I have quite a few photos of Kidd-sama here. I'll send them to you when the time comes."
"Sonoko..." Xiaolan smiled awkwardly. No matter how you looked at it, Ryouna didn't seem like she would chase after Kaito Kid.
"Ah, well, not a gorgeous nympho. The bodyguards employed by the Atobe Group will not be fooled by a thief."
Still so arrogant!
Sonoko retorted bitterly, "You pretentious idiot! Please use the correct wording. Mr. Kidd is a Phantom Thief. Do you understand Phantom Thief?"
"Tsk, a thief is a thief."
Atobe Keigo remained unmoved and no matter how Sonoko defended Kid, he still insisted on his own opinion.
"...What a pretentious guy!"
"...a non-gorgeous nympho!"
“Hmph!” “Hmph!”
Xiaolan tried her best to mediate between the two, persuading one and the other.
Conan took advantage of Xiaolan's distraction and sneaked up to Ryouna.
"Mission?" he asked.
Ryona smiled but said nothing, bending down and tilting her head to let him see the small communication device in his ear canal.
Conan gave a look of understanding and didn't ask any further questions.
The sun is rising from the west? Ryona stared at it in amazement. "The great detective isn't asking any questions?"
"Will you tell me if I ask you?" Conan asked in a complicated tone.
The previous two experiences made him realize that Liangnai was not the black party, and had nothing to do with the winery.
In addition, two policemen warned him not to contact Liangnai and not to ask about Liangnai's identity. He was just trying to be a detective at the time, and only broke out in a cold sweat when he came to his senses and thought about it.
Even the Japanese police are helpless. If he continues to investigate, it will cause a lot of trouble.
"Kaito Kidd is an expert in disguise, and has countless ways to escape. If you need help..."
"unnecessary."
I thought this guy really changed his personality, but I didn't expect he was still thinking about Kaito Kidd.
Ryona grabbed Conan's face and pulled him out, "Great Detective, just take a good rest today and don't think about solving the case."
Conan covered his face in pain and no longer had the heart to solve the case.
Today is not a special show for Kaito Kidd.
Therefore, the police were not asked for support for this exhibition. Kidd's arch-enemy, Officer Nakamori, recommended himself but was declined. However, the Atobe Foundation did send him an invitation letter.
"Mr. Kidd is countless times more gorgeous than a cocky brat like you." Sonoko was panting loudly. She pointed at a staff member at random and said, "You come and judge, is Mr. Kidd the most gorgeous?"
"Hey, I'm the most gorgeous!"
Atobe Keigo also looked at that person, his eyes revealing the message of "Just try to refute me if you dare."
Fake security guard, real Kaito Kidd: Thanks for the invitation, but I don’t want to get involved in your fight.
"Hahaha! Spicy Teacher Gojo is obviously the most gorgeous!"
The white-haired man with an eyepatch who appeared out of nowhere startled everyone present.
"You bastard teacher, you're cheating!"
Maki's eyes were blazing with fire. They had agreed to start running 123, but Gojo Satoru counted directly to 3.
"tuna!"
"Huh? It's obviously you who are too weak." Gojo Satoru waved his hands indifferently.
Panda also expressed his disagreement, "Wu, you have no moral principles."
The battle between Atobe and Sonoko had just ended, and the battle at the high school began again.
Completely ignored, Ryona felt dizzy and dazed. This must be an illusion. She pinched her thigh hard with an expressionless face.
It hurts! Ryouna's eyes are full of egg, why is Gojo teacher here?!
Nanako and Mimiko! How could you do this to me!
Nanako and Mimiko: Don’t cue me.
Alas, there is a saying among flower growers: when the enemy comes, we will fight him with soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Just think of it as Teacher Gojo coming for an outing.

Maki held the small communication device in her hand, "So you called us here for a mission?"
Only the eyepatch bastard is really here to play.
Thinking of the white-haired chicken breaking the cat and running to the dessert area in a very unruly manner, the resentment of the three people deepened again.
Maki had some doubts when she asked them whether they would come to the party that day. The free lunch given by Kirihara Ryona is not so easy to get.
It turned out that she was right.
She shot a sharp look at Panda, "You know that too?"
Panda whistled guiltily and looked up at the sky. Well, who could refuse a limited edition game console?
The dog-shaped thorn squints: whoever sees it will have a share.
Panda readily agreed: No problem.
"Ah, ah, it's like having a big meal after completing the mission." Ryona tried to get away with it.
Maki pulled out a hand and made a five sign, "Dinner's on you, fifty thousand per person."
"...It's too much, thirty thousand." Ryona struggled to bargain.
"One hundred thousand."
Feeling her wallet dripping with blood, Ryona gritted her teeth and agreed, "Fifty thousand is fifty thousand."
You end up losing more than you gain. You should be frugal with the materials for the spell tools these days.
Maki, who had tricked Ryona, was in a good mood. "Tell me, what do you want us to do?"
The entire venue was in full view from the control room. Liangnai drew a line with her finger, which was the route she had anticipated for the curser's movement.
"Tatsumi Atobe and the jewel are in the room at the end of this corridor. As expected, the curse master will head straight here."
She pointed to several key locations along the route and said, "I need you to guard these locations."
Panda patted his chest and answered, "I understand. Panda will never let any curse master pass."
"Mustard." Goujuanji gave a thumbs up.
"No, I want you to be the landmark."
Ryouna couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were full of malice. "Lure them here and let them know that Atobe Tatsumi and the 'Key to Eternal Life' are here."
I have to lure her over so that I can knock her out one by one, or a pair if there are two.
At first, he mistakenly thought the gem was a 'living cursed tool' and subconsciously regarded the remaining cursed power of the mastermind as the cursed power generated by the cursed tool's own operation.
Even if you lure the snake out, it will still be very difficult to pick out the real snake among so many idiots.
But it’s different when you know that this is the product of a spell. The sorcerer’s soul aura can blend with his own magical power.
She knocked them out one by one and then tried again. She would eventually find it, right? It was a bit of a foolish method, but it was safe.
By the way, I can pick out a few curse masters with high bounties and confiscate them, Ryouna thought happily, so that I can have money to treat everyone to a meal.
However, some uncertainties need to be resolved.
Ryouna's deep gaze fell on the surveillance monitor in the room at the end of the corridor.
I told you that today is not a special show for Phantom Thieves.
——
"Actually, I'm curious what your human skin mask is made of. Isn't it stuffy?"
The leisurely voice, with a hint of coolness, slowly penetrated into the bodyguard's ears.
"Ms. Ryouna, stop joking. There's no such thing as a human skin mask."
A drop of cold sweat rolled down Kidd's face in disguise. How could anyone recognize him?
The same thing happened to the tall, white-haired man with an eyepatch at the banquet. No matter who he was disguised as, anyone could accurately guess who he was. Kid couldn't help but doubt himself. Did his makeup skills get worse overnight?
Ryona didn't have time to answer Kid's inner questions, as a snap of fingers was heard in the empty corridor.
"laugh--"
Fire emanated from Ryouna's fingertips, "Alright, this Kaito game must end now."
"Are you going to remove it yourself, or do you want me to burn it?"
Kidd pretended to be calm, he didn't expect the other party's magic skills to be so good.
“It’s not a magic trick.”
Ryouna considerately made the fire burn a little more fiercely, and it was about to catch fire on Kid's wig.
The scorching temperature was burning his skin, and Kaito Kid took off his hood on his own initiative.
"I give up."
His face turned pale. He didn't expect that the flame was really coming out of her fingertips. What kind of human lighter was this?
"I won't steal. I'll just take a look at the 'Key to Eternal Life' and then I'll return it to you."
Kidd's tone was pleading. The description of this gem was exactly the same as Pandora's gem. Maybe it was it.
The thief promised that he would only look and not steal? Ryouna was almost confused.
"That's not a gem, you don't need to look at it." Liangnai refused with a heart of stone.
Kaito Kid wanted to fight for it again, but he saw that Ryouna's attention was on the other end of the corridor.
"Since you didn't want to leave just now, then don't leave."
Kaito Kidd's eyes widened in horror. "Really? If you don't want to see it, then don't look at it. But you also want to kill people to silence them?"
"Bang——"
"Bang bang—"
Another person was thrown against the wall.
Kuroba Kaito painstakingly tied up the curse master who was knocked unconscious with a rope.
One after another, like an assembly line.
Who can tell him why it turned out like this?
Ten minutes ago——
Just when Kuroba Kaito was ready to fight to the death (him) and not break the net (Kirhara Ryona), a dart flew towards his face.
"Don't get in the way." Liang Na threw him aside without any hesitation, "Go to a corner and help tie someone up later."
To tie someone up, literally.
Kidd tied up another one and sat on the ground with sweat all over his forehead and no image at all.
"How many more do you want to tie? You've already tied hundreds, and you're not done yet?"
There was a crowd of people that stretched as far as the eye could see.
He looked up at the sky with half-moon eyes, and couldn't help but wonder in despair, is she a gorilla? Isn't Kirihara Ryona tired? She was the one fighting, why is he exhausted first?
"Should it be soon?" She wasn't sure either.
Ryouna walked around the last curser, "...It's not him either."
That's not right, there is not even one among so many?
"Can I see it?" Kidd stared at the gem in Ryouna's hand eagerly.
"Forget it, just take it and have a look." Liang Na was annoyed by being pestered and threw it away with her hand.
Kidd reached out to catch it. He held the gem towards the moonlight outside the window. Under the light of the full moon, the red cross star inside slowly lit up.
"Pandora's Gem!"
At this time, the long-haired curser who was lying on the ground was slowly hunching up, with the corners of his mouth grinning, and his smile was cruel and wild.
"Hahahahaha—all of you go to hell!"
