Chapter 584: Ke Xue Anticorrosion Added to the Leader [Drummer]
The thief who had set his eyes on someone else's wings thought about it and felt too embarrassed to ask for a free ride.
So I tactfully found a new topic: "Is the detective okay now?"
Jiang Xia drove the puppet of Mist Tengu, thought for a moment, and nodded - although he did not hand over the main body to Terai Huangnosuke as Kidd thought, but it would definitely be fine in his hands.
Kidd couldn't detect anything wrong from Mist Tengu's calm expression.
He pointed at the bridge that was still sparking with fire from afar and said, "Call the mastermind behind our incident. He just blew up the bridge. Although if the detectives haven't returned for a while, their friends or assistants will probably call the police for help... but you know, I often take away gems and artworks from the police, so they are not very friendly to me. If I am surrounded by them at that time..."
As he said this, he glanced at the flying Mist Tengu and gave a secret hint.
"..." Jiang Xia accepted his hint and moved his wings reluctantly, "If you can't run away by yourself, I can take you out."
Kidd was relieved.
At the same time, I couldn't help but raise my hand and pinch the hard skeleton of the wing with envy: Oh, so cool. After all, hang gliders can't compare with real wings.
Jiang Xia glanced at him, ruthlessly pulled the wings out of his hand, and said casually: "If you want, you can grow them too."
Kidd was startled, and a little excited: "You mean using magic?"
"No, magic can't make you grow wings." Jiang Xia said, skillfully forming a pair of vampire-like fangs, slightly opening his mouth, letting the tips of his fangs flash a frightening cold light, "But you can turn into a monster, and then you will naturally have wings."
Kidd: “?!”
He instinctively covered his neck and took a few steps back.
But I couldn't suppress my curiosity: "Is your system like vampires? If you bite, you will turn into the same kind..." Huh? Wait.
Kidd suddenly remembered something serious: "...you just bit that detective!"
Jiang Xia: “…”
It was just a joke, but Kidd was surprisingly serious... Did he think Mist Tengu wouldn't lie?
So he also became more serious and said calmly: "Not all people who have been bitten can become the same kind. We have to distinguish them according to the situation."
"...Is that so?" Kidd actually believed it, and seemed to be seriously considering whether to become a monster and grow wings that are more majestic and flexible than gliders.
On the opposite side, Jiang Xia silently studied his expression.
I was a little shocked to find that he was serious: "..."
...Kid is already a sophomore in high school, but his chuunibyou syndrome hasn’t been cured yet.
Or was it that the previous encounter with the witch caused a crack in Kidd's worldview, so now he is in a state where he can cram any messy worldview into his brain?
...The wings are not that good actually. They are convenient when flying and can be held and rubbed a few times by the wives' cats when they are free. They are very troublesome and difficult to fold at other times, which is why it is difficult to get a job in the winery.
Speaking of which, what if Kidd really nods later?
"..." Well, let's just say that he failed the assessment. Not everyone can be a youkai. And Kiri Tengu has a Z-shaped mark on his body, so he is considered a member of the Anonymous Organization. It's normal that the threshold is a bit higher...
Jiang Xia looked out at the dark forest as if nothing had happened and suppressed his occasional conscience.
…
Fortunately, although the Phantom Thief sometimes behaves a little immature, he still has his sanity and is aware of the inconveniences of monsters.
Although he was very tempted by the invitation of "turning into a monster and growing a pair of wings", which he would only hear a few times in his life, he decided to refuse it in the end.
——Gide thought about it and realized that he was stealing gems with a purpose, not just stealing randomly. At present, it seems that the collection he got is difficult to provide for a monster named Mist Tengu, and if he is included, wouldn’t it be even more difficult? What if the two monsters go out to hunt humans arm in arm in arm...
"..." Kidd felt that this was not possible.
And judging from Mist Tengu's past behavior, it seems that the wings cannot be completely hidden. In other words, if he also becomes a monster and grows wings, he may not be able to blend in naturally with human society in the future...
Kidd finally shook his head regretfully.
Then he calculated the time and said goodbye to Kiri Tengu in a gloomy tone, "I have to go back. Be careful when you act. Those detectives are very observant. There is also a gun hidden under my pillow in my room... People like me who are staying here temporarily can get guns, and other people may have guns in their rooms too. Tsk, the owner of this villa is really sinister."
Jiang Xia nodded, indicating that he understood.
After confirming that Kidd would not wander around and disrupt the situation in the annex, he watched the thief leave, then lit a ghost mint that he had plucked from the original body to replenish his energy.
Then he let the puppet slowly dissipate. His consciousness also returned to the puppet where Matsuda Jinpei was.
…
Jiang Xia opened his eyes in the living room and looked around.
It turned out that Jinpei Matsuda did not just stand there in a daze, but started playing billiards.
The opponent was the not-so-serious Toru Amuro - this boss who liked to use his imagination to solve problems seemed to be secretly letting the game go. He naturally hit the ball off target, as if he wanted to let Jinpei Matsuda move more and observe his condition.
"…" The opponent is letting the ball go, so the game becomes boring... Jiang Xia picked up the golf cue propped on the ground, and was about to finish this game and then play something else.
At this moment, on the other side of the card table, Qingtian Yumi suddenly said "Huh?" in confusion.
She flipped through the cards in her hand, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with emotion: "It seems to be really restored."
Although the detectives in the living room were playing their own games, they were not really immersed in these casual games. Instead, they were concentrating on thinking about the things happening in this villa.
At this time, after hearing what Qiangtian Yumei said, a group of people realized that this seemed to be related to tonight's puzzle, and they all gathered over to check it out.
I saw two playing cards in Gunda Ikumi's hand - the Spade J and the Club 4 were stuck together. After separating them, you can see a dark stain in the middle of the cards, which looks like blood at first glance.
"There's even blood splattered in the living room... Whether it's real blood or a replica, the scene back then seemed to be very tragic." The cowboy detective took the playing cards and looked at them, "I'm really getting more and more curious about Kidd's purpose in asking us to come here."
Jiang Xia glanced at him: Kidd himself also wants to know about this question...
Just as I was thinking about it, there were several knocks on the living room door.
A group of detectives gathered around the card table turned their heads.
The maid gently opened the door and bowed: "Sorry for the long wait. Dinner is ready and the master is waiting for you in the dining room."
