Chapter 1241 1249 [So You Are a Monster]
Through headphones hidden under the wig, the "corpse" could hear messages from other employees.
And the employee in front had just told him that it was difficult to scare the new pair of young high school students - rather than visiting a haunted house, they seemed to be there to give instructions, especially the boy.
"Corpse" believed in the strength of his companions, so on the one hand he was shocked by the strong minds of this pair of high school students, and on the other hand he was determined to give it a try.
He took a deep breath and was about to show his power.
At this moment, the girl opposite looked at him blankly, then suddenly let out a scream and ran away as fast as a frightened rabbit.
"Corpse": "..." Huh?
Is this the end?
He hasn't started yet...
He couldn't help but touch his face, wondering if he looked that scary? Just as he was thinking, the employee suddenly remembered something.
“…”Come to think of it, didn’t the colleagues in front say that there were two people coming?
So now…
Where is the legendary talkative high school boy?
The "corpse" suddenly realized something and turned to look in the direction where Nakamori Aoko came from.
Not sure if it was an illusion, he suddenly shuddered, as if he saw a pair of strange eyes flash by.
“……”There seemed to be something extremely terrifying hidden in that corridor.
…
The other side.
A talkative high school boy who still talks a lot even when he is "missing".
——Just now, when Aoko Nakamori and Kaito Kuroba pushed the back door of the church and found that the scene was reproduced, their reactions were different.
Kuroba Kaito did not close his eyes in fear. Instead, he immediately looked at the group of flying "bats".
Then it was confirmed once again that the giant crow mixed in with the artificial bats was actually Mist Tengu.
Before Kidd could finish his shock, he was skillfully picked up by Mist Tengu and landed on the side beam in the blink of an eye.
Kuroba Kaito: "..." With such skillful leading skills, it's no wonder that he doubted the legend of "Mist Tengu hanging people".
However, compared to the vague legends, it is obviously more concerning what is happening right in front of us.
Kuroba Kaito looked at his fellow monster in surprise: "Is it really you? What are you doing in the haunted house?"
Jiang Xia, wearing the vest of Mist Tengu, glanced at him, then thought of Nakamori Aoko who was screaming in fear just now, and muttered in his heart: I just come to join in the fun, the expert's speech is really boring.
Of course, it is definitely not convenient to say such things.
Thinking about the way that a middle school boy like Kidd likes to talk, Jiang Xia said seriously: "I heard that you are in trouble. I am here to help you. Don't you humans value helping each other?"
Kidd: "..." Heard? Where did he hear that? Could it be that Kirito wanted to come to his place to steal his magic power again this morning, but he saw the Nakamori father and daughter there, so he didn't come in?
Anyway, Mist Tengu actually offered to help, and Kid couldn't help but feel a little touched when he heard it.
But after being moved, he was still cautious and asked a few more questions: "You said help...how do you want to help specifically?"
...He doesn't want Nakamori Aoko, he doesn't want Inspector Feng, and he doesn't want any Oyakodon.
Kiri Tengu glanced at him and said, "Although your face was seen last night, you should have already found a way to deal with this. For example, when you go to get the Angel's Crown tonight, disguise yourself as another acquaintance of Inspector Nakamori, so that he will think that you often disguise yourself as people around him, but just happened to choose to dress up as Kuroba Kaito yesterday. After all, for a thief like you who is good at disguise, it sounds strange to steal without disguise.
“In addition, Nakamori Aoko’s test of you today is also very important, so at 8 o’clock tonight, you must appear in two places at the same time to clear your suspicion.
"Of course, considering that you don't know how to clone yourself, one of you needs to be impersonated by someone else. It's more difficult to play Kidd, but it's not that difficult to play Kuroba Kaito and go shopping with a girl, as long as the activities are complicated enough so that she can't spare the energy to observe and has no chance to confirm."
Kidd was stunned for a moment.
These words sound very pertinent, and he actually thinks so too.
...But the problem is, no matter how you look at it, this doesn't sound like something Mist Tengu would say.
Kuroba Kaito: “…” Come to think of it, I don’t know why, but this tone seems a little familiar, a lot like those annoying detectives… Wait, detective?
This key word flashed through his mind, and he vaguely felt that he had grasped something.
But before he could think about it, Kiri Tengu said, "I can find someone to help you play the role of 'Kuroba Kaito'."
"Huh?" Kidd's previous analysis was disrupted when he heard this.
There was only one thought in his mind: the helper that Mist Tengu found might also be a monster. Since it can transform, could it be... a raccoon cat spirit?
Or a vixen?
When Kidd thought that there were other monsters in the world, he was surprised, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation of "let me see".
"Well..." Although he was worried that the monsters were unreliable, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to visit other monsters.
So in the end, like an unscrupulous interviewer who only wanted to see people but not to recruit, Kuroba Kaito whispered, "Can I take a look first?"
Kirito nodded.
After a pause, he added: "Actually, you don't need to look. I heard that you have met before - you know Jiang Xia, right?"
Kidd: “……?”
He was startled and looked at Kiri Tengu, wanting to confirm that he had heard correctly: "The helper you mentioned, are you referring to Jiang Xia? The detective?!"
Jiang Xia is actually a raccoon spirit! No wonder he can reason so quickly and convince the leopard to ride on him. Maybe he uses some magic...
...No, no, no, that's not right.
Kuroba Kaito's thoughts went astray for a moment, but were quickly brought back on track.
——Jiang Xia looks different from a monster no matter how you look at him.
And if you think about it carefully, Kiri Tengu didn’t actually say anything about the “helper” he found, so it must also be a monster.
Kidd: “…” Speaking of this, the last time he and Jiang Xia met by chance, Jiang Xia did say “I heard about Kidd from Mist Tengu.”
...How did these two people, no, this detective and this demon, know each other?
But in this way, Kidd suddenly understood the sense of déjà vu when Mist Tengu said that long string of words just now.
That must be what Jiang Xia once said, and Kiri Tengu was just repeating it.
Thinking of this, Kidd looked at Mist Tengu opposite him and was silent for a moment: "Do you know that the 'helper' you mentioned is actually a detective?" - The lifelong enemy of the Phantom Thief!
Kiri Tengu glanced at him and said, "Didn't I tell you that? He thinks the thief is not as interesting as the murderer, so he won't catch you."
Kidd: "..." Tsk, they really didn't catch him? It sounds like he was underestimated.
