Chapter 422: The History of the Phantom Thief's Failure
Valentine's Day night - that is tonight, is exactly the time Kidd announced to appear.
Plus, tonight is a rare full moon, so Koizumi Akako's magic will reach its peak.
She then used magic to create a piece of chocolate that would make people fall in love with her after eating it, and planned to use it on Kidd.
But now, when the plan is about to be implemented, Koizumi Hongzi always feels vaguely uneasy.
——The witch's intuition told her that something seemed to be wrong with her divination. But due to the lack of basic information, even if she wanted to confirm it through divination, she didn't know where to start.
Koizumi Hongzi squeezed the cursed doll in her hand, turned around and looked at the magic mirror standing among the skull candles, dragged her robe and walked towards it, staring at it: "Hey, mirror, you really didn't hide anything from me?"
The magic mirror that was cracked by Koizumi Hongzi spoke in a low and respectful voice, repeating the conclusion he had said before: "You are the most beautiful person in the world. All men in the world will be your captives, except for one person..."
Click——
Koizumi Hongzi threw the thing in her hand over again, interrupting the mirror. She only liked the first part and didn't want to hear the "exceptions" at the end again.
She covered her lips and let out a low laugh: "After tonight, I'll come back to hear your answer."
…By then, the second half of the sentence that she doesn’t like to hear will disappear.
Thinking of this, Koizumi Hongzi looked at the magic chocolate in her hand, and a light of determination flashed in her beautiful red eyes.
…
In the exhibition hall.
Perhaps Kidd had a premonition that he was being targeted, and he was out of form the entire day.
He followed the ventilation vents into the exhibition hall and peered out from the interface. The wide exhibition hall was empty, with no one inside. Only various exhibits were displayed as usual, and in the middle was his target today, the "Red Ghost".
There were no policemen standing guard around the gemstones as before. Kidd adjusted his monocle and found that the anti-theft facilities in the hall were also very ordinary.
This made Kidd a little confused. For a moment, he suspected that his notice letter had not been sent out successfully, or that he had written the wrong date, which resulted in no one waiting for him today...
Kidd thought as he walked to the display case of "Red Ghost" with some boredom.
He reached out to open the protective shield, and then with a hiss, he was hit in the face by the hypnotic gas.
The next second, a group of policemen wearing gas masks lifted up the cabinets, emerged from the surrounding "display cases", and excitedly rushed towards Kidd.
At the same time, several "hissing" sounds were heard in the hall - a large amount of hypnotic gas was sprayed out from the nozzles set up by the police, and the gas instantly spread throughout the hall.
An inconspicuous corner of the hall.
Jiang Xia was hiding next to a vent.
Hypnotic gas suddenly spurted out from his side, and he instinctively raised his hand to cover his nose and hold his breath. Then he remembered that puppets were not afraid of anesthetics and seemed to not need to breathe... So he put his hand down as if nothing had happened, turned around and silently began to pry open the window behind him, preparing to rescue him.
——He just saw Kidd inhale a few mouthfuls of hypnotic gas.
This Phantom Thief seems to be out of shape today. And if Kidd falls for the hypnotic gas and is caught and thrown into a juvenile detention center, according to the time schedule of this world, it is unknown how long it will take for him to come out and continue to shine... In any case, we cannot watch Kidd being taken away by the police.
Center of the exhibition hall.
Kidd quickly realized his mistake.
He pulled up his cloak to cover his face, covering his mouth and nose, then raised his hand and threw a smoke bomb.
The rising smoke blocked the police's view. Kidd picked up the "Red Ghost" next to him and took the opportunity to use a special steel wire to bounce himself towards the ceiling where no one was paying attention.
After rising to the top, he spread his arms and legs and held on to the grid ceiling to keep himself there.
The police in the hall below played steady - confused by the smoke, no one thought to look up, but just looked around in a panic, and no one noticed Kidd for a while.
However, people are unreliable, and the hypnotic gas is still slowly spreading upwards, soon covering Kidd.
The gas that he accidentally inhaled just now began to take effect. Kidd's eyelids gradually drooped, and his hand that was supporting the ceiling slipped, and half of his body suddenly fell downwards...
Then he was blown back to his original position by a wing coming from the front.
The sudden stop of falling startled Kidd and he woke up briefly.
He held up the ceiling again, suddenly turned his head to look to the side, and met a pair of dark golden eyes.
Late at night, with a pitch-black ceiling and a human eye suddenly popping up next to it... Kidd's fingers tightened first, and he instinctively got goose bumps, and then he suddenly reacted - Mist Tengu!
It turned out that the monster brother had been waiting nearby to rob... Thinking of this, Kidd was surprised, but his mood suddenly became a little complicated.
But now didn't seem to be the time to think about the pros and cons of being targeted by a monster - Mist Tengu sat on a pendant hanging from the ceiling, silently raised one hand, put his bony index finger and thumb together, and made a fairly standard circle towards him.
Kidd: “…”
When most people make this gesture, they are probably referring to money.
However, as for Mist Tengu...
Kidd bit the tip of his tongue and tried his best to stay awake under the influence of the hypnotic gas.
Then he supported himself with one hand, reached into his pocket with the other hand, took out the red gem of "Pandora" that he had just received but had not had time to check whether it was inside, and handed it over with a little heartache.
Although he didn't really want to give it, if Kiri Tengu hadn't extended his help just now, he would have fallen headfirst into the crowd of police.
Besides, in this situation, he had to use his hands and feet to support the ceiling, and he had no ability to stop possible robbery. Mist Tengu did not reach out to take it directly, but asked him first, which was very polite, and he should not be ungrateful...
Jiang Xia lowered his head and looked at the gem that Kidd handed over with a red glow: "..."
Robbery can be done at any time, there is no rush, so when he made that gesture just now, he actually just wanted Kidd to throw some more round smoke bombs to facilitate their departure - the one he just threw had already dispersed.
But now, Kidd has given it away...
Jiang Xia took the gem with dignity and threw it into the puppet's mouth.
Then, while extracting the energy core inside, he rummaged through Kidd's pockets and grabbed a handful of smoke bombs and threw them out.
Crisp sounds of smashing were heard, and thick smoke rolled up from the bottom, quickly enveloping the police.
While their vision was blocked, Jiang Xia picked up the Kidds who were yawning beside him and flew out towards the window he had just been eyeing.
Then, before being seen by the police cars lurking nearby, he flew half the street along the wall and landed in a dark alley on the side.
