Chapter 443: Asking for Everything (Monthly Tickets Plus)
In the back row of Jiang Xia's seats, there were two people who looked like father and daughter, who were having a small argument.
An elderly father complained: "We've already bought the tickets and warmed up the seats, and now you say you want to go see Kidd? What's so good about a thief?"
Then a young female voice angrily retorted: "It's not easy to come to Tokyo. Mr. Kidd is much rarer than a play. You can watch a play anywhere!"
Jiang Xia in the front row: “…”
Kidd's fan club is really everywhere.
By the way, judging from what he said, Kidd has activities tonight?
Why didn’t he send out any notice?
Jiang Xia looked back and his eyes fell on the morning paper waving in the young woman's hand.
At the same time, the word "Kid" obviously attracted a lot of people's attention.
At the same time Jiang Xia turned around, Suzuki Sonoko, who cared equally for all the handsome guys, and Conan, who paid close attention to all the puzzles, also turned their heads at the same time.
The three people's eyes fell on the newspaper at the same time - Kidd's photo was very conspicuous.
The first to take action was Kudo, who always used a child's identity and was not afraid of embarrassment.
Conan skillfully dragged out the voice of an innocent child and turned to the woman in the back row: "Big sister, can I see your newspaper?"
The young woman who was struggling over whether to watch the play or Kidd was startled.
She looked at Conan, who looked cute, and then at Jiang Xia beside him. Her expression softened and she handed the newspaper to the front row in a friendly manner:
"Here. Actually, this isn't my newspaper. It must have been left in my pocket by a guest from the previous game. I happened to see Mr. Kidd's photo, so I couldn't help but take it out and take a look at it..."
"Thanks!"
Conan was not interested in the source of the newspaper, he was only curious about its content.
After unfolding it and finding the most interesting part and taking a look at it, Conan's eyes changed from excitement to tiredness.
He sighed and said in disappointment, "They actually wrote down the time and place directly... I thought this time it would be a preview letter in the form of a riddle."
Suzuki Sonoko also came over to take a look.
After discovering that the photo published in the newspaper was not a new one but an old one that had been used before, she and Conan sighed at the same time and moved back to their stools in disappointment.
"Let me see."
Jiang Xia took the newspaper from Conan and unfolded it to take a look.
This is a morning newspaper, dated to-day.
Jiang Xia actually subscribed to this newspaper, and it was delivered on time. But early this morning, he was busy going out with Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko to pick up... ahem, go shopping together, so he didn't have time to take a closer look.
Opening the newspaper, Jiang Xia's eyes habitually fell on the line about date and place.
This time, Kidd really didn't set a complicated puzzle, but simply wrote the time and place... This situation is not too abnormal. Although Kidd is diligent in setting puzzles most of the time, he does occasionally slack off on the notice letter.
What Jiang Xia cares more about is another matter.
——The action time announced above is actually tonight.
The notice was released on the same day, and the theft was carried out on the same day... Is it so hasty?
In my impression, Kidd has always been quite a martial artist in this regard. He would issue a notice in advance to facilitate the people who received the notice to arrange defensive measures. But today's behavior was no different from a surprise attack, which was a bit embarrassing...
Also, why does the target gem this time look so familiar?
Jiang Xia stared at the photo for a while, took out his cell phone, and searched for the name of the gem published in the newspaper.
Then it was discovered that this was a gem that Slack had once handled.
——"Slack" is a cadre in the mysterious organization that is hostile to Kidd. The organization often uses animals as code names and also aims to find "Pandora" among the gems.
Jiang Xia remembered that a while ago, he passed by and saw Slake stealing a gem, so he borrowed the gem from the unconscious Slake and used up the energy core inside.
Kidd also went around stealing treasures for the sake of Pandora. This treasure had been stolen once by Slack, so it was impossible for Pandora to be inside it, so it should not be Kidd's target.
...something is wrong. Something is wrong.
…
Jiang Xia handed the newspaper to the back thoughtfully, returning it to the father and daughter who were still arguing about "whether to watch Kidd or the drama", with a similar dilemma in his heart.
He looked at the staff who occasionally passed by on the stage, and his eyes quickly stopped on one person.
——There was a murderous aura around that person. Combined with the unique environment of the "theater", it is not difficult to imagine that if you stay here, you will definitely be able to pick up something.
On the other hand, Kidd's strange actions are also of concern. As we all know, in this world, all kinds of "wrong" places are always accompanied by rich opportunities...
Jiang Xia hesitated for a few seconds, then decided to take them all.
——According to the brochure, the play here will last for a full three hours.
And getting the energy core from Kidd only takes less than an hour on the road.
As long as you manage your time properly, it is not difficult to achieve all the options.
And now it is different from before. Now, with the nourishment of Koizumi Hongzi's magic power, the ghost fetuses are much stronger than before.
Even if Jiang Xia is too busy, the ghost fetuses can drive their puppets and try their best. And conversely, the strengthened and strong ghost fetuses can take over his body for a short time. Turning a single-choice question into a double-choice question is much simpler than before.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia leaned against the soft back of the chair and glanced at the ceiling lights in the theater's audience area.
Now, there is still more than half an hour until the time Kidd announced.
He calculated that when the lights dimmed and the play began, he would be able to condense the puppet and rush to Kidd to see what was going on.
…
At the same time.
In a gloomy castle in the suburbs.
Yuan Hongnai inserted the tail end of the staff into the pottery jar, dipped it in the sticky red liquid inside, and drew a magic circle with a diameter of two meters and an extremely complex pattern on the ground.
At the end of the painting, the strange mucus flowed out of her staff without a trace left, forming the final stroke of the magic circle.
Yuan Hongnai looked at this scene and nodded slightly with satisfaction. Her control over magic power was still so good that even her niece, who was recognized as a genius, was still far behind her.
After finishing the drawing, Gen Hongna raised his chin to the servant who was standing respectfully beside him, and asked him to drag Kidd, who was still being tortured by the magic circle in the other corner of the room, out and throw him into the new circle.
The servants quickly arranged the people.
Gen Hongna dragged her robe and held her staff as she walked to the new magic circle.
She looked down and found that Kidd was no longer as lively as he was yesterday. This high school student who would play tricks whenever he got the chance had his eyes half-opened, looking very similar to Koizumi Hongzi who had been forced to sit on the bungee jumping machine all night. The light in his eyes had disappeared.
