Chapter 220 Cooperation, Brother Monster
However, although there is a generation gap, after this brief but informative exchange, the image of the terrifying Mist Tengu who eats humans raw and dries meat in the sun in Kidd's mind has subtly changed.
...Leaving aside the issue of morality, at least this is a monster with ideas and principles.
Kidd had always thought that Mist Tengu only stole gems and never killed people because he was useful.
And if one day he makes it clear that he will no longer provide gems, Mist Tengu will come to his door and tear him into dried-up thieves.
Although Kidd felt that he should not be afraid of evil forces, the threat to his life hanging over his head still made him accumulate tremendous pressure unknowingly.
And now, I suddenly discovered that Mist Tengu is a pretty kind monster...
Kidd turned his head and glanced at Mist Tengu who was quietly chewing gems.
In a trance, I had a sense of déjà vu as if I saw the classmate sitting next to me drinking juice during break.
The world seemed to have become peaceful.
Kidd was thoughtful. He looked at the gemstone: "These things can be restored later, right?"
He heard that the dark star of the Suzuki family had regained some of its luster. This decline in quality after being sucked by the monster did not seem to be permanent.
Mist Tengu nodded: "It will grow out after a while, you can steal it then."
Kidd: “…”
No, he wasn't really interested in stealing duplicates.
As Kidd fell silent, Jiang Xia's attention quickly shifted away.
——He found that several cars were driving towards this side in secret.
Although it was not a police car in style, the people inside were probably the police who had come here following the signal transmitter on the gem - he saw Inspector Nakamori.
Jiang Xia lowered his head and shook the sapphire in his hand, and found that there was no energy left in it, so he threw the drained gem to Kidd.
The Phantom Thief knew better than him how to return the gem without leaving any trace.
Afterwards, Jiang Xia identified the direction, flapped his wings and flew away.
The energy cores have been consumed, and it’s time to get some killing power to supplement the family income.
——Just now on the rooftop, the leading man in black really wanted to get rid of Kidd, and there was some murderous aura around him.
Moreover, as a villain leader with a name, Slack's murderous aura is not rare.
Jiang Xia did a simple calculation and found that if he drove the puppet over to beat that person up, he could still make some money after removing the murderous aura that the puppet itself had lost.
So before on the rooftop, when Jiang Xia dragged away Kidd and the energy core, he also threw a ghost and let it follow Slake to facilitate positioning.
I used up too much killing energy on Mermaid Island a few days ago. It was fun to burn the killing energy, but it was hard to watch the ghost mint dwindle quickly afterwards.
Now is a good time to catch up and replenish the stock.
…
Although Kidd's night vision ability is not as good as Jiang Xia's puppet, he also noticed the approach of the police.
He took the gem that Kiri Tengu returned to him and left quickly, and found Terai who was waiting for him nearby.
Terai Yosuke was once the assistant of Kid's father, Kuroba Toichi.
Now that Kuroba Toichi has been "murdered", Terai has become Kidd's assistant again.
Terai stepped on the accelerator and drove away quickly. He looked at the dull gem in Kidd's hand without surprise and sighed in his heart.
——Now every time Kidd takes action, he will let Kidd wear a locator.
In this way, when Kidd was robbed by Mist Tengu and thrown into a corner, he would be able to rush over to rescue him immediately...
After Kidd got in the car, he took out a locator with a serious face and showed Terai the moving coordinates on it: "Go here."
Just now, when Kidd was dragged away from the roof by Mist Tengu and flew over somewhere nearby, he saw several neatly lined up black vehicles from afar below.
According to Kidd's intuition, these cars might belong to the group of men in black who intended to silence him.
So at that time, Kidd fired a black-tech locator - although the group of black-clad men with guns were dangerous, they seemed to know a lot about Hei Yu Daoyi, and Kidd didn't want to miss this information at all.
Now, judging by the moving signal dot on the locator, he was actually lucky enough to get the transmitter on the roof of the car.
I hope this trip will be fruitful...
…
Although Terai Yosuke is already an old grandfather, his driving speed is still as fast as it was in his youth.
He quickly caught up with the black-clad men's vehicle and secretly followed behind.
The convoy of men in black drove into the mountains and finally stopped outside an ancient courtyard surrounded by trees and with a stream flowing beside it.
A group of people in black got off the car one after another, seemingly preparing to enter the courtyard.
Terai also stopped the car at a distance.
It was a night in the woods, the mountain wind was strong, and coupled with the noise of the stream, the sound of the vehicle engines was well covered up. They were not too far away from the convoy of the men in black.
Kidra opened the car door and was about to get out, but suddenly he felt a shadow passing over the sky in front of him.
The old man and the young man looked up in confusion, just in time to see Mist Tengu flying silently over the man in black and throwing something down.
The next second, a cloud of smoke suddenly rose around the men in black, wrapping them completely in it.
Terai Huang Zhisuke was stunned. He looked at the smoke from a distance and felt that it looked familiar: "Master, this is..."
Kidd was also stunned for a moment, then he remembered: "It took it out of my pocket when it was dragging me to fly just now. I thought at the time..."
...I thought Mist Tengu was interested in the smoke bombs + anesthetic bombs that looked like round gemstones, and wanted to bring some back to decorate his nest.
This was not a big deal, and after Kiri Tengu revealed information about Sanni Temple, Kidd forgot about it.
Now it seems... Mist Tengu actually came prepared?
…
After Jiang Xia threw the smoke bombs and anesthetic bombs, he hovered above the smoke and observed for a while.
Then he swooped down and approached the edge of the smoke from behind, where Slack ran out holding his breath. He put a black cloth bag over Slack's head and flew into the woods carrying the struggling man in black.
Terai Huang Zhisuke watched this scene from afar and his expression changed slightly.
He still remembered the "habits of the Mist Tengu" that he had looked up before - he heard that this monster liked to kidnap humans and then hang them on trees as food... He thought about the scene of the human flesh banquet, and his back was covered with white sweat. He turned around and wanted to drive away.
However, just as he released the handbrake, Kidd next to him suddenly opened the car door, said "I'll go and take a look!", and then ran quickly into the woods.
…
Kidd's face was solemn - didn't Mist Tengu say that it would not eat people as long as there were gems?
Could it be that the monster lied?
...In this world, not only is there no trust between people, but even monsters can't be trusted?
