Chapter 814: Disguise Problem
Vermouth did not continue the topic.
Considering Uzo's current mission of "maintaining a good detective image", she did not reach out again.
In the end, the two of them really did as Jiang Xia said, like an ordinary client and detective, walking side by side towards the bar that Vermouth had mentioned before.
On the way, Jiang Xia chatted casually: "What new products have they launched?"
Although the bar prohibits people under the age of 20 from entering, Jiang Xia has actually tried many signature dishes in various bars.
——After all, now he has an adult vest that looks like a normal person. He can enter the bar openly from time to time, take away whatever he likes, and even pay extra to get luxury packaging, so as to ensure that the food is as original as possible when it is delivered to the original person.
...It's a pity that when I bought some wine to drink at home, I always felt that something was missing and the atmosphere was missing.
And if you go directly to the bar... driving Jinpei Matsuda's puppet, you can indeed sneak into various adult places without any hindrance.
Those places for fun are really nice. But the bars...
I don't have much of a sense of taste, so I can only hold a colorful glass and feel the atmosphere like drinking water. Without the most important wine, the atmosphere is of course difficult to achieve.
As for the main body sneaking in directly... Although there are some bars where the verification is very lax.
But just because an ordinary minor can sneak in doesn’t mean a famous high school detective can also sneak in.
——Many bars don’t have such strict management. But when the receptionist takes a closer look and finds out that the visitor is a high school detective, he will worry whether this is an undercover investigation, whether it will be exposed later, whether there will be police following behind... Then Jiang Xia will be politely rejected. He will not be allowed in even if he uses the excuse of "having a commission". As for covering his face... being sneaky will make him more likely to be rejected by the alert receptionist.
And now, with Vermouth here, everything is very convenient.
——Ask her for a face-changing treatment. Even with just a few simple strokes on the face, you can make yourself any age you want and still look nothing like Jiang Xia himself...
…
On the way to the bar.
Vermouth seemed to be looking for topics casually, but she was still a little nervous.
However, after a while, she gradually realized that based on Uzo's subtle reactions to various topics...
He seemed to be more interested in the "bar" itself. Other topics seemed a bit perfunctory.
Vermouth: "..."
…Although it cannot be ruled out that this is Wuzo acting with her. But Vermouth is a real veteran actor, and at this moment, based on her experience and observation, she always feels that today, Wuzo does not seem to be acting deliberately.
“……”So the temptation of the bar is so great?
However, if we put ourselves in Jiang Xia's shoes and think about how difficult it was for him to sneak into the bar...it seems understandable.
…
The square where the two had just met was not far from the bar that Vermouth mentioned.
Vermouth chatted with Jiang Xia in a random manner all the way.
When she was almost there, she finally remembered her business, took out a small bottle from her pocket and unscrewed the cap.
Jiang Xia watched her dip her fingertips into the paint and remembered the disguise she had painted on herself the last time she went to the bar with Vermouth.
After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but clear his throat and asked casually, pretending not to care: "Is there a disguise that doesn't look too ugly?"
Vermouth soon remembered the same thing.
"The painting you made last time wasn't ugly, it's just a little worse than your usual style, you're just not used to it." She smiled slyly, "If you really mind, remember to come to me more often when you have time so that I can observe and practice with you - practice makes perfect, skills need to be constantly honed to improve, and the same is true for any technique."
After a pause, she suddenly felt that this request seemed unrealistic, and changed her words: "...or when you are free, I will remind you to come find me - of course, I will choose a date when those annoying FBI are not around."
...In fact, as the apprentice of Kuroba Toichi, Vermouth's camouflage skills certainly do not require "more observation". As long as she looks at Jiang Xia a few more times, the corresponding three-dimensional model will automatically emerge in her mind, and combined with the knowledge of disguise, she will know where to apply.
However, it's rare that Uzo cares about this...
Vermouth touched her chin, thinking that this would be a good opportunity to trick him into coming over more often - although Gin always felt that she was not a competent "psychologist", Vermouth actually had not forgotten Jiang Xia's psychological problems.
It was just that based on her observations during the previous few encounters, she always felt that Wu Zuo had some problems... but they didn't seem to be that serious. At least he didn't have any so-called self-destructive tendencies, but he did have a lot of tendencies to destroy others. She didn't know if Wu Zuo was too good at hiding it, or if it was all their illusion.
In short, Vermouth felt that since it was difficult to judge, it would definitely be a good idea to increase the opportunities for them to spend time together.
After all, only when we meet more often and have a closer relationship will it be easier to observe from all angles and discover more hidden things.
…
While Vermouth was planning her future "psychological treatment".
Next to him, Jiang Xia heard her proposal and hesitated.
...In fact, before, when he drove the Mist Tengu's vest to pay a courtesy visit to Kidd's house and collect magic power by the way, he also asked Kidd about the disguise.
But maybe his scientific physique is not that good, or maybe the skin of the Kirito vest is different from that of humans - the same disguise materials, the same steps, Kidd's is easier to make, and he can barely hang it on the vest's face for a few minutes. But the fake skin he made himself, can't be put on at all, and it falls off as soon as it touches.
Using Terai Huangzhisuke as the model, Jiang Xia's ability to learn and imitate the disguise step by step did not have much effect. After his disguise, Terai's face looked like a melted potato.
At that time, Kidd and Terai Huang Zhisuke were silent for a moment in front of the finished product. They first praised Kiri Tengu's precise movements in applying the materials, and then tactfully changed the subject. They all said that if Kiri Tengu wanted to change his appearance, he'd better think about how to solve the problem of wings instead of his face. According to the observations of the Phantom Thief and his butler, Kiri Tengu's wings seemed unable to disappear freely, just like human limbs.
And now...
Jiang Xia: “…” Although he had experienced painful failure.
But the main body is different from the vest. The main body is a person, and the skin is also human skin.
So... maybe the original body can learn some of the essence by learning disguise from Vermouth?
Thinking of this, he nodded in front of Vermouth's slightly surprised gaze: "I'll try my best."
Then he looked at her small bottle of paint.
The bar was very close. Jiang Xia said, "Let's draw it first."
...Don't leave it to dry for a while, or the painting will be uglier, and it will be difficult to erase once it's mixed in.
