Chapter 427 I Should Have Met You Earlier
After being poked a few times, the mermaid reluctantly let go of the ethereal black line, climbed down from Jiang Xia's body, and swam a long circle beside him.
Koizumi Hongzi still looked straight ahead and showed no reaction to the mermaid's actions.
Jiang Xia vaguely understood: ...She can’t even see ghosts?
I can't see where the magic power is flowing, and I can't see ghosts...
Doesn't this mean that even if a ghost were to grab her and pull out her energy core right in front of Koizumi Akako, she wouldn't be able to notice anything was wrong?
...It's really tempting to commit a crime.
…
As Koizumi Hongzi fell into deep thought, the magic power she emitted temporarily solidified and she no longer continued to drag Jiang Xia in her direction.
In order to avoid scaring away Koizumi Hongzi, who had rich magical powers, Jiang Xia had to hold back and not take the initiative to go over.
He just quietly dispersed the ghosts and let them take some energy cores from the surroundings first - the crows controlled by Koizumi Hongzi, the floating throne, and even the air here, all had some magic. As a master of metaphysics, it would be awkward not to bring some magic back home.
While the ghosts were busy, Jiang Xia hovered in the air, looking down inquiringly.
Passing through the flocks of crows in the sky, one could vaguely sense an extremely large source of magical power on the street nearly a hundred meters below.
The energy even projected through the sky, spanning a hundred meters vertically, and rose from the ground to in front of him.
As long as he takes one more step forward, he will enter the range of magic power and be surrounded by the energy core...
When Jiang Xia was secretly looking at the magic circle.
On the opposite side, Koizumi Hongzi leaned against the backrest of the throne, shifting her crossed legs left and right, gradually coming back to her senses from the shock of "there really are monsters in the world" and "there are monsters next to me".
At the same time, she was somewhat confused about the magic mirror's prediction.
The magic mirror seemed to say "All men in the world will be prisoners of Lady Hongzi", but the "Kid" she pulled in front of her looked a little different from a human being.
...Could it be that the "person" the magic mirror was talking about was just some kind of general pronoun? After all, when the magic mirror told her that "there is an exception", it deliberately placed a projection of that "exceptional person" on the mirror, and that was indeed the appearance of Kaito Kidd.
The magic mirror didn't even explain it clearly... Tsk, I'll go back and settle the score with it.
As for now, of course, she had to concentrate on taking down this "exception" in front of her who refused to bow down to her.
Well... according to her previous curse, now Ki... Kiri Tengu should still be suffering from the pain of nails being hammered into his body, and now, she is the only one who can relieve that pain.
After Mist Tengu understands this, he will take the initiative to walk towards her → fall into the trap she sets right below → be burned by the large amount of magic power in the trap and endure this painful torture → in order to get rid of the pain, he can't wait to eat the magic chocolate she prepared → become her captive...
Thinking about the way Kuroba Kaito refused her chocolate in the afternoon, and then thinking about the wonderful scene that was about to happen, Koizumi Hongzi covered her lips and let out a happy laugh.
She stood up, walked down from the throne with her skirt fluttering, raised the mini doll in her hand, looked at Jiang Xia, and whispered seductively: "Do you want to get rid of that endless pain? Just come to me..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mist Tengu flapped its wings, flew forward two meters silently, and stepped accurately into the range of her magic circle.
The carefully drawn magic circle captures the "prey" and is triggered automatically.
Jiang Xia was instantly enveloped by a gushing magical power and fell into the magic circle at the intersection below, disappearing from the sight of Koizumi Hongzi.
On the opposite side, Koizumi Akako had just opened her arms and had just begun to speak some charming lines, but in the blink of an eye, she was gone.
She looked at the sky in front of her that was suddenly empty, then looked at the Mist Tengu that was falling towards the magic circle. Her bright red lips moved, then closed silently. She swallowed back the words she hadn't finished saying, and fell into deep thought.
…Though so far, the script has gone exactly as she planned, and it’s going very smoothly.
But I always feel that...
A little too smooth?
Could it be that the curse wasn't controlled well enough and the pain was too strong?
Koizumi Hongzi was confused for a moment, then her body floated down and fell into the magic circle.
…
There seemed to be some sophisticated isolation measures set up near the magic circle.
The street, which should have been bustling with people, was now deserted.
Jiang Xia secretly glanced around and didn't look any further - as soon as he landed, he immediately felt a huge amount of magic power surging from the surroundings, as if he had fallen into a huge hot spring pool.
He squinted his eyes comfortably and was briefly lost in thought for a moment.
After coming to his senses, Jiang Xia immediately released all the ghosts and threw out the Shikigami to help pick up the items.
The moment the Leg-Pickling Shikigami was created, it was already a ghost with only the obsession of revenge left in it.
When the enemies are punished and their obsessions dissipate, it basically becomes a blank sheet of paper without any emotion.
However, although they have no thoughts or emotions, the Shikigami still retain certain instincts - when they are thrown next to energy cores, they will instinctively absorb these useful energies.
At that time, as long as the Shikigami that has absorbed enough energy is put back into the seal on the heart with one click, the energy core can also be recovered along with it, which can greatly improve the efficiency of picking up energy cores.
The energy core strengthens the ghosts more evenly - they will eventually return to the medium's seal and then equally nourish all the ghosts owned by the medium, including the shikigami.
Therefore, the energy core will not be eaten up by the leg-stealing shikigami, and there is no need to worry that if this continues, the ghost fetuses will become weak one by one, and instead a few overly strong shikigami will be raised...
…
Although the speed and quality of the leg-grabbing gods in absorbing energy cores cannot catch up with the ghost fetuses, they are numerous.
Koizumi Hongzi's magic circle perfectly separates Jiang Xia from the surrounding environment. The shikigami cannot crawl out even if they crawl around, and they will not run far away and waste their killing power. It is a perfect place to let the ghosts wander around.
Experiencing the energy core rapidly flowing into the mark, and then looking up to see Koizumi Hongzi slowly falling, Jiang Xia suddenly felt a little regretful.
If I had guessed earlier that magic power could be used as an energy core, I would have gone to find Koizumi Hongzi earlier and collected more waves of magic power.
Now, his puppet brothers might be able to run around and help out, and he wouldn't have to hang up every time he used a puppet like he does now...
…
Koizumi Hongzi's hair was flying, and she was wrapped in magic power and slowly fell to the other end of the magic circle.
She saw Kiri Tengu frowning slightly, as if he was a little regretful, and nodded secretly in her heart.
The curse really worked. Now, Mist Tengu shouldn't reject her anymore...
Thinking of this, Koizumi Akako took out the finale props she had carefully made.
It was a palm-sized heart-shaped chocolate, covered with red strawberry paint. She followed the tutorial she asked the servant to look up and tried several times before she succeeded.
