Chapter 16821690 [The End of the Phantom Thief]
Jiang Xia threw a ghost onto Curacao, telling the ghost to hurry up and continue to pull. I don't know when we'll meet again, so I'll collect more this time.
While thinking, Jiang Xia glanced in the direction of Curacao and Ireland across countless cars: It just so happens that since talking to him, Curacao seems to have entered a cadre state, with a surge in production, and now the murderous aura around it is no less than that of the permanent cadres.
And as she met Ireland, Ireland's murderous intent, which had been somewhat flagging, suddenly grew again like bamboo shoots after rain - they were all senior members of the organization, and Ireland knew very well that the colleague who rushed to his vicinity at this critical juncture could not be a pure friendly force, but might be killed at any time depending on the situation.
"It's great." Jiang Xia counted the harvest happily, "It's a pity that the landing point is Hokkaido. If it was in Tokyo, there would be more cadres rushing to join in the fun."
Come to think of it, I wonder what Akai Shuichi’s ever-changing murderous aura would look like if he encountered a large number of cadres at the same time.
Sometimes in Jiang Xia's mind there would appear a murderous aura that changed its flavor like flickering colored lights, and sometimes there would flash by a murderous aura with a strange flavor.
"It's a pity that the cadres are all a group of lone rangers. It's a bit difficult to get them together. After all, the organization doesn't have activities like team building." Jiang Xia thought, "Try to find an opportunity to try. If you really can't get a complete set, you can first get two or three together to see the effect."
Jiang Xia thought of the buy-one-get-one-free FBI subordinates he was about to get, and briefly imagined the more colorful life in Tokyo in the future.
Then I suddenly remembered something.
Jiang Xia looked at his watch: "Three minutes have passed long ago, Kidd should have successfully reached the shore."
…
A few minutes ago, in the sea.
Kidd was flapping his newly acquired wings, swimming freely in the sea breeze. After flying happily for a while, he suddenly felt something was wrong behind him.
Kidd: "..." Why do the wings seem to have become lighter? They fly more erratically, not as steady as before.
He turned his head in confusion and took a look at the situation behind him. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat - the pair of black wings that looked extremely reliable had begun to dissipate from the tips and were about to disappear completely.
Kidd was shocked: "...What's going on?! Is the shelf life of this thing so short? I only used it for less than three minutes!"
After saying that, he suddenly remembered that last night in London, the pair of wings behind Jiang Xia also flew for a while and then disappeared on their own.
...less than three minutes.
This key word sounded familiar to Kidd, and his good memory allowed him to quickly understand where he had heard this sentence before - just a while ago, in the cockpit, when Jiang Xia secretly stuffed the smoke into his sleeves, he said, "Okay, I'll give you three minutes at most."
Kidd's face turned pale, and he realized something fatal belatedly: "Could it be that this is not referring to the plane at all, but a hint given to me by the detective, meaning that the wings can only last for three minutes? Indeed, there is not only a recording in the cockpit, but also two other suspicious individuals. It is understandable that Jiang Xia refused to directly say the effect of this thing... But the hint given by that guy was too natural. If you don't know the answer in advance, who can hear it!"
Kidd never expected that one day he would fall for Jiang Xia's smooth acting skills.
"Maybe Jiang Xia thought that a hang glider might not be reliable for a fall from such a high altitude, so he gave me this pair of wings as an emergency?" Kidd looked haggard. "It's rare for a detective to have a conscience, but I didn't catch it..."
He turned his head and looked towards the shore. The plane had just stopped and the vehicles following it had turned on their lights one after another. The area was as bright as a mirror and it didn't seem to be too far away.
The visual distance may be beyond his reach. Besides, this is not a spacious runway, but a surging sea.
"Hold on, Wings! You are a magical creation of the monster, don't lose to the time limit set by the detective!"
While Kidd was babbling gibberish to cheer for his wings, he tried his best to fly back with his broken wings.
However, the pair of wings did not give him any face. After flying only a few meters, the wings could no longer hold on and fell apart.
Kidd instantly turned into an ordinary person suspended in mid-air.
“…”
“Aaaaaaaah——!!”
…
Fortunately, the thief had a high-tech parachute on him, which was very small and hidden on his body. At this moment, the parachute instantly expanded. Although it could not take him back to the coast, it at least prevented him from falling flat on the sea and dying.
However, Kidd's condition was still not optimistic. Even in summer, the cold sea water at night made people shiver.
Kidd struggled out of the parachute cover and looked up at the sky with a glimmer of hope.
The night sky was a little gloomy, but it was still obvious that there were no flapping-winged Mist Tengu or flapping-winged detectives in the sky.
Kidd: “…”
I'm not going to die here.
Suicide note…I haven’t written a suicide note yet!
By the way, Jiang Xia is so smart, would he be able to guess this possibility now?
A series of thoughts flashed through Kidd's mind, and he suddenly remembered that he had written down Jiang Xia's phone number. His eyes lit up and he took out his cell phone.
...and then he found that the screen was black - during this long journey, he had been concentrating on playing Xin Zhuang Gong and had not charged his mobile phone.
Kidd made a creaking sound and almost squeezed the phone to make a crack: "..." It seems that he can't take the initiative to contact Jiang Xia.
"Forget it, a mature thief doesn't need to rely on others." Kidd put away his phone as if nothing had happened, then scooped up some sea water to wipe his face.
No matter how difficult the situation is, waiting for death is not his style: "It's just a few kilometers, I can swim back in the middle of the night."...The Phantom Thief will never admit defeat!
Kidd looked determined, aimed in the right direction and swam back.
He hadn't swum a few hundred meters when his kicking suddenly froze. He fully experienced what it felt like to be unlucky. Even drinking cold water would cause a toothache.
——He has cramps.
Kidd: “…”
During this time, he rushed to England for the gemstone, and flew back in a hurry before he could even adjust to the time difference. And on the way back, for various reasons, Kidd didn't dare to close his eyes on the plane the whole time, for fear that someone with a nagging hand would come and pinch his face when he fell asleep... Once the disguise was exposed, he might have an extra pair of steel bracelets when he got off the plane, and he certainly didn't want to see this result.
The quality of his sleep was extremely poor, and the popular food in the UK did not suit his taste. He had no time to find his favorite food, so he went hungry for a few days. No matter how good his physique was, he could not stand this accumulation.
Finally, bubbles appeared in the sea water and Kidd sank down with a gurgling sound.
