Chapter 426 You are so slow
The magician would not target the identity of "Kaito Kid" for the stolen treasure, and "Kaito Kuroba" is just an ordinary high school student and would not make enemies with anyone.
In that case...
Kidd suddenly had a new guess, and his expression gradually became serious: "For those who study the mysteries, monsters should be very precious materials, or even ingredients... Maybe when I appeared before, someone discovered that Mist Tengu would appear around me, so they wanted to find Mist Tengu through me?"
After all, Kidd thought, in his entire life, he had only seen one monster, Mist Tengu, and Mist Tengu itself rarely appeared in human society... Compared to "Phantom Thief Kidd" who seemed to be only interested in worldly property, the targets of those mysterious magicians were more likely to be Mist Tengu.
"...Drive faster!" While ruthlessly exploiting the old grandfather who was over 60 years old, Kidd took out a piece of equipment like a mechanical cannon from the prop box, and fiddled with it, preparing to use technology to strike at any unscrupulous black magicians that might exist.
…
Shinagawa District, nearly 100 meters above the city.
Crows gather together, and an ancient throne floats among them.
Koizumi Hongzi sat on the throne holding the cursed doll in her hand. The intricately patterned gold ornaments on her body sparkled in the moonlight, and her posture was elegant and arrogant, like a queen who had everything under control.
But if you look closely, you can see that there is a hint of doubt in her eyes when she looks at the cursed doll, as if she has encountered some unsolvable problems.
...According to Koizumi Akako's script, Kid should have been dragged in front of her and was struggling to be freed.
However, in practice, Koizumi Akako was surprised to find that her dragging progress was abnormally slow.
Just now, she even increased her magic power several times, intending to speed up. However, for some reason, the magic power was lost, and the dragging progress was even slower, giving people an inexplicable feeling of dawdling and wanting more.
...Something went wrong with the magic power?
...She regressed?
Today was a full moon, so logically, the magic should have worked more smoothly than she expected.
But now...
Koizumi Hongzi frowned slightly and thought over and over again, but still could not come to a conclusion.
Therefore, after trying several times, although she did not understand the principle, she did not dare to rashly input magic power to accelerate. She had to carefully maintain the most basic magic output, be patient, and wait for the target to appear in front of her.
Time passes incredibly slowly.
Koizumi Akako went from being an imposing figure dominating the city to secretly slumping down on the throne with her back limp. Finally, she was so sleepy that she yawned several times with her hands covering her lips.
Just as she was boredly counting the crows under her feet and began to secretly regret setting the trap so far away, a figure finally appeared in the distant night sky.
Koizumi Hongzi saw this with her sharp eyes and became cheerful.
She calmly straightened her slumped back and assumed a queen-like posture again.
Then he lowered his eyes and secretly looked at the city below.
Directly below her, at an intersection nearly a hundred meters in the air, there was a sophisticated and concealed magic circle.
That was the core arrangement of Koizumi Hongzi today.
——Those who step into it will be burned by a large amount of magic power and experience the excruciating pain of being burned by flames. The body will not be injured, but the spirit will be like being pressed against a red-hot iron and rubbed repeatedly.
Koizumi Hongzi planned to pull the target ten meters away, then relax the control, let the other party actively approach her in order to seek relief, and finally step into the magic circle... There was no special meaning to it, but she just liked the feeling of the prey walking into the hunting net by itself.
Just as I was thinking about it, the prey in front was already approaching.
Koizumi Hongzi raised her chin slightly with pride and looked at the person floating in front of her: "You are here, Ji..."
……Um?
The man in front of her was not the white-robed thief she had imagined, but a strange man she had never seen before. He was wearing a simple kimono with a mythical atmosphere, with huge but not heavy wings waving behind him. His eyes were also different from those of ordinary people. Not only was the color a rare dark gold, but upon closer inspection, they were also vertical pupils.
Is this... a monster?
And judging from the shape, the pair of crow-like black wings look a bit like the legendary Tengu...
The word "Kid" that Koizumi Akako said was stuck in her throat, and she was stunned for a moment.
She looked at Jiang Xia who was flying closer, then subconsciously lowered her head and looked at the mini Kid doll in her hand: ...With the positioning of Kuroba Kaito's handkerchief, I shouldn't pull the wrong person.
Koizumi Akako's eyes moved calmly back and forth between the doll and the Mist Tengu, with a mysterious and charming smile on her face, while her usual reasoning began to unfold in her mind.
...According to her previous divination, it is known that Kidd = Kuroba Kaito. This is the conclusion she came to before, and it should be correct.
In addition, when Lachid came over, she used the handkerchief she got from Kuroba Kaito during the day to locate him.
In other words, the monster in front of him that looks like a Tengu is also equivalent to Kuroba Kaito.
So Kiri Tengu = Kuroba Kaito = Kidd?
Thinking of this, Koizumi Hongzi's eyes moved, and she suddenly had a bold guess.
...Could it be that the true identity of Kuroba Kaito and Kid is actually a monster? Normally, Kid can disappear from the sight of many police officers by just turning around. Is it because he can instantly transform from a striking white thief into a black Tengu and then successfully escape into the night?
Koizumi Hongzi touched her small chin and felt a flash of lightning across her mind, with a feeling of "so that's it" in her heart.
…
Jiang Xia flew in the direction of the magic power for a while and saw a large group of crows gathered in front of him. In the center of the crows was a throne, on which sat a beautiful girl in strange clothes.
...This should be the source of the energy core, Koizumi Hongzi.
Jiang Xia looked at her carefully. He felt that although Koizumi Hongzi's expression did not change, her eyes seemed to be blank for a moment after seeing him, and then she fell into thought...
In short, she just looked a little confused, but she didn't have any reaction like "pulling the wrong person" or anger.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia glanced at the ethereal black line that he had tied into countless knots, tied forcibly around his wrist, and was still struggling unwillingly.
When it was connected to Kidd just now, the joint was very smooth.
Unlike now, it looks unnatural no matter how you look at it.
However, as the person who made it, Koizumi Hongzi never looked at the black line from beginning to end. Instead, her eyes stayed more on the wings and eyes of the Mist Tengu puppet.
Considering that the black line was struggling so hard, it didn't seem like Koizumi Hongzi was deliberately ignoring it, but rather that she really couldn't see that illusory black line.
…can be made, but cannot be seen?
Jiang Xia's heart moved, and he remembered something, and secretly poked the mermaid who was clinging to his hand.
