Chapter 447: Mist Tengu Capture Plan
However, the place where Jiangxia was currently located was, after all, a fairly prosperous commercial district. Outside the area blocked by the police, there was a large crowd of people. Without magic and murderous aura positioning, it was not easy to find a sneaky sniper among them.
Jiang Xia took a look from a hidden corner of the building, but he didn't see the legendary "crackling" reflection, nor did he see any suspicious figures, so he had no clue.
He quickly thought of another thing, so he temporarily gave up looking for the person who shot him from behind, and instead flew in a certain direction with a clear target.
——When Koizumi Akako pretended to be Kid, there was a vague line behind her that stretched into the distance.
And after the layer of magic power used for camouflage that wrapped her was sucked dry by Jiang Xia's Shikigami, the line disappeared.
At this moment, rather than looking for a person who had no murderous intent and no magic power among a large group of people, Jiang Xia felt that the magic line was more valuable.
After all, he remembered that the last time, when Koizumi Akako cursed Kidd, a similar black line appeared between Koizumi Akako and Kidd.
In other words, by following the direction of that line, perhaps we can find someone hiding in the dark who provides magic power to Koizumi Akako - for example, we can find Kidd who is suspected to have been kidnapped and used as a magic battery.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia no longer stayed in the place where there were too many policemen and ordinary citizens.
He repaired the puppet that had just been hit by the sniper rifle, and quickly left in the direction of the magic line.
…
In the crowd, a woman wearing a peaked cap and a plain coat looked up at the blurry dots disappearing into the distance on the horizon and let out a silent breath.
Gen Hongna carefully suppressed her magic power, touched the telescope in her bag, and frowned slightly when she thought of the scene she had just seen.
That monster really has a lot of secrets.
Fortunately, she was more cautious this time...
She left the crowd, walked easily outside the blocked area, and finally stopped at a busy square.
This was the meeting place she and Koizumi Akako had agreed upon in advance.
——Before coming here, Gen Hongna looked up some information, but couldn't find any images of Mist Tengu anywhere. Only in the Sanni Temple suicide incident a while ago, a traveler passed by the jungle late at night and took a photo of what seemed to be a "Mist Tengu". But that photo was also very blurry, and it was difficult to tell whether it was a person or a bird.
In short, this made Gen Hongna feel that Kiri Tengu would consciously avoid leaving any traces in front of the public.
So she and Koizumi Hongzi made an appointment to meet at the square. It was safer because there were ordinary people passing by to provide cover for them.
Gen Hongna leaned back on the bench and waited.
After a while, a female high school student brushed the dust off her body and ran over in a slightly embarrassed manner under the surreptitious gazes of many male passers-by.
Koizumi Hongzi came to Minamoto Hongna and asked in a low voice: "You lied to me?!"
Gen Hongnai sat up slowly and looked up at her: "Don't talk to me in that tone of scolding a servant."
The aura is compelling.
However, as a witch, Koizumi Hongzi is very familiar with this way of putting on airs.
She ignored him and continued to ask in a low voice: "What's the matter with that inferior magic circle? And the sniper rifle at the back, you arranged it, right? What if it really hits you?!"
Yuan Hongnai sneered: "The clothes I gave you can not only rely on magic power, but also block a certain degree of physical damage - and that ugly thing is very accurate with the gun, you don't have to worry about being accidentally injured."
As she spoke, she crossed her arms over her chest, leaned back on the bench, and said calmly, "I didn't tell you about the plan in advance because I thought it would be easier to implement this way."
"?" Koizumi Hongzi didn't expect that her aunt could cheat people so confidently. She stared at her for a while and was speechless.
"That magic circle is indeed not used to trap the Mist Tengu. It is just a simple accumulation of magic power."
Yuan Hongnai raised her fingertips and gestured: "You can think of it as a ball of gas filled with stable magic. This magic is useless and of low quality. The only advantage is that it is extremely stable. It is actually a teaching aid commonly used by magicians in the past. It can be combined with dyeing magic to demonstrate the operation of magic to some magicians with poor talent. After it is made, it will not go bad even if it is kept for several years...
"——But just now, when the monster fell into the formation, the magic power disappeared immediately."
“…”
Koizumi Hongzi understood what her aunt said and felt as if her girlish heart was stabbed by an arrow.
——The magic power that was stable to that extent suddenly disappeared... Considering the current situation, there is only one truth: Mist Tengu can really absorb magic power in some way.
...So he really is just here to cheat for magic power?
The piece of chocolate that she spent a lot of time making was just eaten as "food" in the ordinary sense?
Koizumi Hongzi stared blankly for a while.
Then she suddenly remembered what Yuan Hongnai had said yesterday, and looked at her aunt again: "...Didn't you say that our magic is close to perfection and it is impossible for us to be easily eaten by monsters?"
Gen Hongnai raised her hand to support her chin and said as a matter of course: "Magic power is our greatest reliance - if I told you in advance that Mist Tengu can devour magic power, would you still have the courage to lure him out so naturally and confirm his diet?"
“…”
Koizumi Hongzi clenched her knuckles with a crisp sound and her fist hardened.
However, feeling the admiring gazes from afar, she felt burdened and couldn't continue punching.
...Hand-to-hand combat is totally inconsistent with the image of an elegant and mysterious witch.
But she can't use magic now.
...Bastard monster, cheating her of her magic power.
What's even worse is that he just left after deceiving people without leaving even a feather behind...
Gen Hongnai didn't care about Koizumi Hongzi's complicated feelings, and pondered to herself:
"Now we can be sure that he can really absorb magic power, and at a fast speed. I'm afraid your magic had no effect on him before...
“Fortunately, it seems that the firearms are still effective at the moment.
"It's just that he moves very fast. After he becomes alert, it's not easy to attack him secretly. And if we damage him, the research value will plummet... Tsk, this physical capture method is better put last. Let's try other methods first."
As she spoke, she glanced to the side.
On one side of the bench, in the shadow cast by the branches, a servant who was almost as tall as the bench but muscular appeared.
The servant wore a tailored suit and his hair was neatly combed back.
However, he is carrying a heavy gun bag on his back, and the overall style of the picture is a bit weird.
Gen Hongna glanced at the servant and frowned at his ugly appearance. She then looked away and looked at Koizumi Hongzi in front of her.
The words were still directed to the servant: "Did you get it?"
