Chapter 2714 2726 [Leave it to him]
in addition……
Thinking of the "detective" who sank into the swamp, the Hell Puppet Master's heart was in turmoil: although he couldn't see too many details in the dim light, when he stood on the treetop, he saw the general movements of the fake detective.
"As long as it's a puppet, there must be something unnatural. These flaws cannot be hidden from the eyes of a professional like me. But the 'detective' just now acted exactly like a real person, so I didn't realize that the 'Jiang Xia' who followed me had been replaced... The person in the dark is far better at controlling the puppet than I am. Who is he?"
"Could it be that high school detective..."
Thinking of Jiang Xia's face again, the "Hell Puppet Master" felt a chill in his heart. But soon, his reason made him feel that something was wrong: Jiang Xia's voice just now was too far away, and at that distance, he couldn't control the puppet so finely.
To put it another way, even if Jiang Xia's voice was recorded...
“I’ve seen their hands before, and Jiang Xia’s fingers don’t have the marks of years of manipulating silk threads, nor do they have calluses from practicing magic.
"Besides the 'detective', there was also the sudden gunshot. The gunman probably mistook the puppet of 'Mouri Ran' for me. Although this guy has poor eyesight, he was able to shoot me in the head in that light..."
He can control puppets and is good at using guns. Why did such a guy suddenly appear in this ordinary grove?
"Forget it, I'll kill the detective next time I have a chance." "Hell Puppet Master" sighed, "I didn't expect that such a small hotel could be so deep... If I want the performance to go smoothly, I have to speed up the process."
…
Deep in the woods.
Gin stepped on the grass and walked to the shore.
Seeing the headless puppet slowly sinking into the mud, he frowned silently.
Let someone run away.
Just now he was doing chores in his room when he heard some strange noises outside. He walked to the window and saw Wu Zuo jumping down from the upstairs and happily chasing after him in the woods.
...When this kid is happy, something bad must be happening. After hesitating for a moment, Gin followed him cautiously, wanting to see what this guy was doing.
Jiang Xia and the thing he was chasing ran very fast. By the time Gin avoided the hidden swamps and entered the woods, he was already some distance away from the two people in front.
I followed the general direction and just as I arrived, I heard a guy in a tree making some arrogant remarks like "Please disappear", and there was a vague figure struggling in the mud.
From the noise, it turned out to be a stranger in the tree. Gin generously shot him, as he didn't notice him... but it was a wrong shot.
The gunshot alerted the target, and the person in the shadow of the tree canopy evacuated decisively. It was obvious that the person was very familiar with this forest, so Gin did not risk chasing him, but stopped and looked at the swamp ahead.
There were two people running into the woods, one of whom was hanging on a tree. He originally thought that the person in the mud might be the young cadre who had not been beaten by society, but just now he seemed to have heard Wuzo's voice somewhere else.
——Uzo is not in the swamp, and the person he is chasing is not there either. So what on earth is that thing floundering in the mud?
Before Gin could figure out what was going on with the bubbling mud, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
He immediately pulled the trigger calmly, took a step back behind a tree, and pointed the gun in the direction of the sound.
A few seconds later, a figure walked out of the woods in a good mood and waved hello to him.
"..." Gin looked at this familiar guy, "What happened just now?"
Jiang Xia raised one hand and snapped his fingers in front of his eyes. With the crisp sound, a pure white rose appeared out of thin air in his palm.
"That's it." Jiang Xia took back his hand and looked at the flower he had just conjured. "He wanted to invite me to watch a magic show, and I reciprocated the favor by showing him one - how was it? Not bad, right?"
As he spoke, he threw the white rose into the bubbling area of the swamp.
The white flower fell to the ground, and the soil beneath it suddenly collapsed, and large white roses emerged like a gusher, as if the soil had been transformed into flowers by some magic. Soon, the blooming white flowers shattered in the air bit by bit, and the hollows in the swamp were quickly filled up by the mud pouring in from all around.
Gin: “…”
He was so close, but he couldn't see how the magic was performed.
But remembering that Uzo had a former circus member under his command who he had snatched from another troupe leader... everything suddenly seemed to make sense.
Gin: “…” This kid is really an expert at what he does. He has learned magic to this level... Putting such a person in the organization can be considered a small contribution made by Jiang Xia Longping.
Across from him, Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze from the swamp and started talking about the "Puppet Master of Hell" again. He pointed to the distance and said in amazement: "Did you see that? This time is different from before - he actually knew how to kill the detective in advance."
"..." Gin didn't even need to look at his expression to hear the strong interest in this guy's words.
This made him hesitate in his decision to "find the Hell Puppet Master and shoot him to completely resolve the hidden danger."
——Now that the nearby roads have collapsed, the people trapped in this "Snowstorm Villa" are extremely bored. It's rare for Wuzo to have something to kill off his extra enthusiasm...
And judging from what happened just now, Uzo seemed to be able to handle that opponent with ease.
Thinking of this, Gin was too lazy to bother with it: Silencing someone is a troublesome matter, especially silencing a smart person who is already alert. Rather than wasting time running around and then attracting complaints from Uzo, it would be better to let this kid solve those boring troubles by himself, so that he can save two things at once.
Thinking of this, he heard the voices of people in the distance shouting "Jiang Xia" and searching around in the woods. Gin put away his thoughts, said "clean it up", and turned and walked into the woods.
Jiang Xia waved at his back and watched him walk away. Then he put away the two balls of murderous aura that he had just pulled out in a good mood.
"Jiang Xia!"
Just as he finished cleaning up, a few people came running over from a distance - it was Hashimoto Maya and the team he knocked out of the room.
Jiang Xia suppressed the happiness on his face, maintained the seriousness and composure that a detective should have at this moment, and walked quickly towards him.
…
The brightly lit hotel lobby.
"Did the 'Hell Puppet Master' lead you into the woods just now?"
The ones who raised the question were the magicians who had come over at some point. The magic troupe members' room was not far from the high school students. Hashimoto Maya's shouting had also called them out of the room.
