Chapter 442: Suzuki Sonoko's Fan Cultivation
"Good boy."
With a smug smile on her face, Yuan Hongnai lowered her hand and touched Kid's face, wiping away the fine layer of cold sweat on his skin.
Then she took out her cell phone and coaxed softly:
"Hold on a little longer. Once I get in touch with him, I'll let you out right away. I'll also prepare your favorite refreshments and a place for a relaxing bath... Come on, tell me his number."
"110." Kidd breathed hard, and finished his words with all his strength:
"The code is 'I've been kidnapped by Koizumi Akako from Tokyo Ekoda High School and the weird old lady she hired. Rescue me immediately.'"
Gen Hongnai actually pressed "1" on the dial button: "..."
Standing silently aside, Koizumi Hongzi was shocked that Mist Tengu could actually use a mobile phone and was planning to save the monster's contact information while the chaos was going on: "..."
The air in the castle was silent for a few seconds.
After a moment, Yuan Hongna's forehead twitched slightly. The corners of her mouth, covered by a red robe, curled up into a smile with a hint of anger, raised her staff, and slammed it heavily to the ground.
The red magic power gushed out like a spring, like a meat grinder targeting the soul, crushing and tearing every cell. Kidd had not yet finished his taunting, but his throat suddenly became hoarse, and the words he wanted to say turned into a painful groan.
Gen Hongna also snorted.
She stood up, straightened the wrinkles on her robe, and turned to the servant at the door, no longer looking at Kidd, and ordered:
"Go find some of Kidd's previous notices, make a copy, and publish it in the newspaper as soon as possible."
...Without knowing the contact information between Kid and Mist Tengu, rashly using a warning letter to attract Mist Tengu might cause the other party to become suspicious.
However, even if it becomes suspicious, the monster will probably go to the nearby area to check out the situation, or send someone it knows.
At that time, as long as they see Kidd present, they will definitely find a way to contact Kidd.
Judging from the scene in the crystal ball, this was not the first time Kidd and the monster had met at the scene of a theft. If this hook and bait were put down, it would not be difficult to catch the Mist Tengu.
…
The next afternoon.
Central commercial street.
Jiang Xia was carrying a bunch of different bags and watching Mao Lilan draw the lottery.
——In two months, it will be time for Teitan High School to hold its school festival.
As a fairly grand event in Rice Flower City, various programs have now entered the preparation stage.
Jiang Xia and his classmates in Class 2B also have a play to perform.
Mao Lilan was nominated to play the leading role of the princess in the play. Although the class prepared a princess costume, Suzuki Sonoko was not satisfied with it.
In the end, Mao Lilan couldn't stand Suzuki Sonoko's devilish whispers that she disliked the skirts in the class, so she decided to add some decorations to the skirt by hand.
So the three of them went out early in the morning, planning to buy some suitable white gauze and decorations.
——At the beginning, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were worried that Jiang Xia would find it boring to go shopping with girls.
Unexpectedly, when this matter was mentioned, Jiang Xia took the initiative to want to come along without their invitation.
The two girls were stunned for a moment, but soon they felt that they understood - the stage play was related to the class honor and was a grand collective activity. Jiang Xia really listened to their usual silent guidance and decided to try his best to integrate into the group... Take him to buy it, he must go!
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko originally wanted to go shopping in the afternoon.
But suddenly Jiang Xia showed up, so they changed their plans - they decided to go out earlier and finish their shopping in the morning when there were fewer people around, so as to prevent Jiang Xia from having a psychological trauma about "accompanying them shopping" and never being able to invite them out again.
However, after walking around for a while, I found that Jiang Xia didn't seem reluctant at all, and was even quite interested in the surroundings...
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko immediately relaxed and accidentally started shopping.
...Then time passed quickly and it was evening.
Jiang Xia silently glanced at the pile of bags he was helping to carry.
He didn't know whether the decorative materials were purchased or not.
There were all kinds of clothes and bags, and even two pairs of shoes...
Before, when Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran were shopping, Jiang Xia had been paying attention to his surroundings, trying to listen for any screams or sirens nearby... but there were none.
The commercial street was very quiet today. Even the bag snatcher and other classic characters did not appear.
Jiang Xia finally looked at the setting sun in silence in the distance, and then looked at the lottery box in front of him that gave away free lottery draws when buying clothes.
——If you want to pick up something today, this is your last hope.
...Mori-san’s good luck won’t disappoint us.
Just as I was thinking about it, a surprised cry came from the front. It was Mao Lilan's voice: "I won!"
Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief silently, and moved his hands, which were a little sore from carrying bags all day, and felt relaxed.
…
Mao Lilan won a set of VIP theater family tickets, which allows her to bring four people in.
The name of the drama is "Bloody Garden", which sounds like a suspense drama, but it is actually a tortuous love story that reflects the dark side of human nature.
"I've read the novel of the same name for this drama before..." Suzuki Sonoko casually flipped open the brochure that came with the ticket, which contained the list of leading actors in the drama.
As she was flipping through the pages, her round almond-shaped eyes curved with laughter: "Rice Flower Art Theater—it's right next door. We can stop by after dinner. Let's go take a look."
Conan followed him out in the morning and spent the whole day with him shopping. He was so bored that he deeply regretted the decision he made this morning.
Hearing Suzuki Sonoko's words, he yawned sleepily: "I've seen it too, it's a very boring drama... Why don't you go home early? Aren't you tired after walking around for so long?"
Suzuki Sonoko was very interested: "What does a little brat know? The play is indeed boring, but the lead actor is handsome! This is played by Yuichi Uda..."
As she spoke, Suzuki Sonoko's voice lowered.
She suddenly remembered that the present was different from usual - now there was not only her best friend but also Jiang Xia beside her.
So he restrained his infatuated smile and said reservedly:
"Ahem, it can mainly be used as a reference - you see, you're going to perform in a play soon, so watch a few more plays and learn from professional actors so that you don't appear too stiff!"
"Indeed." Jiang Xia was the first to agree. The three heard him say seriously, "I seldom watch plays, so I lack experience in this area. It's a rare opportunity to win a ticket, so why not go and watch it."
…
Three votes in favor.
The remaining child, who looked reluctant, had no human rights in the voting process and could only be counted as a pendant. This was equivalent to a unanimous vote.
So in the end, after dinner, the three of them dragged a lazy elementary school student to the Mihua Art Theater.
Jiang Xia found a seat and sat down, looking around to see if there was anyone nearby with murderous intent.
But suddenly I heard a familiar name behind me.
