Chapter 441 Monster, Witch, and Phantom Thief Food Chain
Kidd stared at the magic circle under his feet: "..."
He tried to pull the fishing line which he had not yet been able to reel in.
However, his entire body was stuck in the magic circle, and the power provided by the mechanism was completely unable to move him or escape.
After several attempts in just a few seconds, Kidd was ultimately at his wits' end.
He silently looked at Koizumi Hongzi in front of him, and then looked at the mature and charming unfamiliar woman wearing a crimson hood who came out from the other side, and a desperate curse rose in his heart.
...Why are there so many unscientific cheats everywhere?
The life of ordinary male high school students is becoming increasingly difficult.
…
Kuroba Kaito was stuffed into the car by the witches and then driven all the way to the castle in the suburbs.
On the way, he tried to escape several times, but was defeated every time and failed to escape the witch's clutches.
After catching someone for the last time, Gen Hongnai pointed her finger at her chin and looked at Kidd thinking:
"My magic power has not been lost abnormally. I have given you so many chances, but you have never turned into a monster and increased your chances of escape. It seems that you are not that monster. Are you Kidd?"
“…”
Kidd didn't say anything, but was secretly alert in his heart. It sounded like this newly appeared witch was actually coming for Mist Tengu.
...With the previous experience of Koizumi Hongzi, they should have discovered that Mist Tengu was cheating on magic power. Why did they specially come to deliver food, and look so confident?
Could it be that he has found a way to deal with the monster and wants to come and settle accounts with Mist Tengu this time? Speaking of which, this new face does look more powerful than the underage Koizumi Hongzi...
Thinking of this, Kidd's originally relaxed heart sank slightly - this is not impossible. After all, Grandpa Terai said that magicians all have corresponding inheritance. Not only have they honed exquisite magic power in the long inheritance, but they have also accumulated rich knowledge.
...Among them, it would be very reasonable if one or two of them could restrain monsters.
Moreover, the little witch deliberately brought the big witch to find Mist Tengu, probably not just for revenge.
Kidd thought of the habits of the witches in the legend, and several bottles and jars emerged in his mind - one was labeled "Mist Tengu Meat", one was labeled "Mist Tengu Bones", in addition there were also Mist Tengu branded hearts, livers, spleens, stomachs, lungs, eyeballs, wings... In this world, even parts of ordinary animals and plants can become precious materials, not to mention the Mist Tengu which is rare and precious in itself.
Thinking of the bloody scene he had imagined in his mind, Kidd looked at Minamoto Hongna who started asking questions, and his mouth suddenly closed even tighter.
…
Yuan Hongnai asked a few questions, but got no response, so she simply sat up straight and ignored him.
When they arrived at the place, she dragged Kidd, who was surrounded by magic, into the castle and threw him into the magic circle that had been drawn in advance.
This magic circle is exactly the same as the one set up by Koizumi Hongzi a few days ago.
Kidd looked familiar and thought it was another sticky glue array.
However, the moment he fell in, he couldn't help but let out a suppressed scream.
——Kid had stayed in the same formation for so long before, and apart from feeling his movements were restricted, he didn’t feel any discomfort.
But now, with the Mist Tengu who loved magic missing beside him, he was shocked to realize that humans and monsters were indeed different. He also belatedly realized what the magic circle set up by the witches was.
——This is not just a net to catch prey, but more like a crematorium that curses the roasted person with immortality. The moment you fall into the magic circle, from skin to muscles, all the way to the bone marrow, every cell seems to be torn and burned by flames, and the pain is worse than being dragged by a horse in a needle blanket full of steel spikes.
Gen Hongna gathered her robes, stood elegantly beside the magic circle, and asked softly, "Where does that monster usually live? Where can I find him?"
Kidd's forehead was covered with cold sweat from the pain, but he was still very stubborn: "What kind of monster... Can you respect science... Read more and be less superstitious."
"Talking about science while lying in a magic circle..."
Gen Hongna snorted, bent down, and pulled out a strand of Kid's hair.
She raised her hand and snapped her fingers. Red flames rose up and silently engulfed her hair.
Gen Hongna stared at the flame in his palm for a while, then stretched out his hand and brought the gradually dissipating flames to the crystal ball.
The originally clear and transparent crystal suddenly became turbid, as if covered by a layer of hazy smoke.
Immediately afterwards, the scene inside changed, and several blurry images flashed by -
The scenes shown in the picture are all late at night.
The protagonists of the night are the Phantom Thief wearing a striking white cloak, and the Mist Tengu who extends his hand towards the Phantom Thief as if handing him something.
…This is the intersection between Kidd and Mist Tengu.
Gen Hongna looked back at these scenes and felt that Kiri Tengu was handing tools to Kid. At the same time, she secretly wondered: Could it be that Kid, as an ordinary person, was able to steal treasures repeatedly and ignore the countless police officers who were surrounding him, because he actually had a mysterious monster helper?
Following this line of thought, Gen Hongna nodded secretly - Kidd wore a striking white outfit, perhaps to attract attention to himself, so that the monster who helped him steal would be more concealed and easier to act in secret...
And now, compared to the cooperation between the phantom thieves and the monsters to steal treasures, Minamoto Hongna is more concerned about another piece of information -
Judging from the divination results, the high school student they captured was indeed Kidd.
And he does have dealings with Mist Tengu.
"You two really know each other." Gen Hongna put down the crystal ball and returned to the magic circle dragging his robe.
She looked down at Kidd, who was curled up in pain and burned by magic, and smoothed the hair that fell from the hood, and asked slowly:
"How do you usually keep in touch? Letters? Phone calls? Advance letters?
"As long as you help me find him, I can immediately disperse the magic circle. It must be uncomfortable to be burned by invisible flames."
“…”
Kidd looked at the red edge of Gen Hongna's robe, listened to her words with wonderful rhythm, and fell into deep thought.
People have human rights, and even a witch should not kill people easily.
But monsters should not be protected by law...
The row of materials named "Mist Tengu xx" reappeared in his mind, and he shuddered silently, half in pain and half because he was shocked by the dismemberment scene he imagined.
Seeing that Kidd had returned to his deaf and dumb attitude, Gen Hongna frowned slightly.
She impatiently stomped her foot on the ground, and the magic power was visibly rising. The pain that was like grinding the bone marrow became clearer and more intense in an instant.
Kidd's eyes went dark for a moment.
He felt the magic circle gradually gaining power. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "...Usually...of course we contact each other by phone..."
