Chapter 444: Dead, but not completely dead
Gen Hongna looked at Kidd on the ground and smiled at him with satisfaction: "You are still the most likable when you are obedient like this."
Kidd's eyes moved slightly. As he said that, he saw the scary witch stretched out her staff, put the sharp end against his heart, and gradually applied force.
The door of the room suddenly opened.
Koizumi Hongzi walked in while adjusting her clothes.
She patted the hem of her skirt, and when she looked up, she saw the "murder scene" in the corner of the room.
"..." Koizumi Hongzi was startled, "Aunt, is killing someone..."
Gen Hongna glanced at her from under the hood, without retracting her hand, and said lazily:
"Do you remember why you got into trouble with Mist Tengu a few days ago? It was because the magic mirror told you that not all men in the world are your captives."
"Yes, yes." Koizumi Hongzi was a little embarrassed. She didn't think there was anything wrong when she discussed the topic of "all the men in the world" with the magic mirror alone.
But now, when someone else suddenly said it, I inexplicably felt the embarrassment of being posed in the room like a middle school student and having the door pushed open by a parent.
Koizumi Hongzi raised her hand to smooth out the hair that was pressed down when she changed clothes just now, and said hesitantly: "...Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?"
Gen Hongna smiled softly and turned around to look at Kidd who was being held against by the tip of her staff:
"He is one of those people who can resist your temptation, right? If he dies, at least among humans, there will be no such 'exceptions' who don't love you, right?"
"That being said..." Koizumi Hongzi frowned and thought for a moment, feeling that there seemed to be nothing wrong with the logic, "But...ah!"
——Before she could finish, Gen Hongna suddenly grasped the staff and stabbed it down hard.
The sharp staff instantly stretched forward and pierced Kidd's heart.
Koizumi Hongzi was shocked.
A second later, she subconsciously grabbed the phone and dialed "110" - as someone who has lived in Tokyo for a while, it has become her instinct to dial the number first when she sees a corpse.
However, before pressing the dial button, she managed to suppress this instinct and turned off the phone screen.
Then, after a closer look, he discovered that although Gen Hongna had stabbed Kidd in the vitals, no blood flowed out from there.
Yuan Hongnai muttered a few words softly.
Then she drew out her wand, and a trace of magic power invisible to the naked eye emanated from the wand.
Immediately afterwards, in Koizumi Hongzi's field of vision, the magic wand in Gen Hongna's hand thickened, shortened, and condensed into a white top hat; the appearance of the mature witch also slightly distorted, and a cloak seemed to extend and spread behind her.
——In just a few seconds, Gen Hongna had completely transformed into the appearance of Kaito Kid.
She raised her hand to adjust the monocle on her right eye, put her hand holding the white top hat to her chest, and bowed slightly to Koizumi Hongzi.
His voice also became the same as Kidd's, serious yet with a hint of teasing: "Don't be nervous, it's just a joke. Killing is against the law - although we have outstanding abilities, we are not completely unrestricted. It's best not to kill unless it's necessary."
"——To be honest, I feel a little regretful. If I had known that he was so annoying, I should have kidnapped him in a more hidden place. Only in this way, the murderer would not be discovered..."
Gen Hongna maintained the appearance of "Kaito Kid", put the hat on her head, and spoke in a relaxed tone, making it difficult to tell whether her words were true or false.
"He" quickly smiled and said, "Fortunately, the law protecting monsters has not yet been introduced - we have to catch the monster before others know about it."
Next to him, Kidd was lying on the ground, looking at the "Phantom Thief Kidd" in front of him with blurred vision.
He disguises himself every day, but he didn't expect that he would be impersonated by someone else today... Whether in terms of ability or mentality, this witch who came out of nowhere is more dangerous than Koizumi Hongzi.
...Isn't it possible that Mist Tengu was really torn into pieces by her?
Moreover, Kidd thought slowly, if he tried to deceive Mist Tengu with his own face and succeeded, wouldn't he also be to blame?
Thinking of this, Kidd felt a pang of conscience. He turned his eyes with difficulty and looked at the magic circle below him.
All the signs just now indicate that this strange new formation is the reason why Minamoto Hongna was able to impersonate him.
While Gen Hongna and Koizumi Hongzi were talking, he moved his fingers with difficulty, trying to erase some of the complicated array patterns.
However, his fingers trembled several times but he still failed to lift them up and could not move at all - at least in terms of confinement, this formation was more powerful than the one he had been lying in before.
The "Kid" in front of him noticed his hidden actions, turned his head, raised the corners of his lips, and smiled evilly at him.
Then she walked to the door and looked at Koizumi Hongzi who was standing by the door: "Have you changed your clothes?"
"Hmm..." Koizumi Hongzi glanced at Kid on the ground, then looked at Minamoto Hongna who had turned into Kid, and quickly turned her attention back to the business.
She lifted the hem of her dress and showed it to Yuan Hongnai: "Is it right to wear it inside out?"
Underneath Koizumi Akako's casual clothes, she wore a tight lining with intricate magic circles painted on it.
Her magic power had been drained away before and has not recovered until now. She can only squeeze out a little bit.
However, if she uses the clothes given to her by Minamoto Hongna, she will be able to regain some of the power of a witch.
Yuan Hongnai looked at her for a few seconds, nodded slightly, and personally reached out to help her tidy up her clothes:
"Don't be nervous for a while, just do as we agreed before."
"..." Koizumi Hongzi thought of the plan they had discussed before, and the image of this target - Mist Tengu - flashed subconsciously in her mind.
Although Kiri Tengu looked cruel and ruthless when he threw her, when he caught her...
When she thought of the scenes that happened a few nights ago, Koizumi Hongzi's heart beat uncontrollably and her eyes became quite complicated.
She took a deep breath and calmed herself down... Never mind, it was useless to think about anything now. She should wait until she caught the monster and locked him up before making plans.
Thinking of this, she cleared her mind and nodded heavily.
Then she raised her hand and held the hand that her aunt extended to her.
The two slender hands were clasped together, and the magic power flowed. A touch of white passed from Gen Hongna to Koizumi Hongzi, causing the light in the room to change slightly.
In the blink of an eye, Gen Hongna returned to her original appearance.
And the person sitting opposite her, Koizumi Akako, looked like "Kid".
Beside them, the genuine Kidd looked up at what was happening in front of him, his expression alert and slightly puzzled, pondering the meaning of their switching identities back and forth.
But he soon couldn't hold on any longer, and he dropped his eyes again and lay flat like a salted fish.
…
At the same time.
A few kilometers away, is the Mihua Art Theater.
The audience has all entered the venue and it will soon be time for the play to begin.
