Chapter 851 Can You Transform?
Kidd looked at Jiang Xia, then at Black Panther: "..."
...to attract small animals?
But why is the leopard's reaction not like that? It looks like it is actually scared...
Kidd: "..." No, that's not the point - the point is that this leopard, which is taller than a human when standing up, how on earth is it related to a "small animal"? ?
Jiang Xia also noticed the black panther's shrinking.
He paused with his hand raised in the air and glanced at the enlarged eating cat.
"!" The beast's instinct was triggered, and the black panther resumed its stagnant steps, running lightly to Jiang Xia's side, rubbing his hand tenderly, and even giving a flattering "meow~".
Jiang Xia rubbed the leopard's head a few times with satisfaction and scratched its chin.
Kidd, who was watching silently, said: "..."
This place is right between two buildings and there is not much lighting.
After the police left, Jiang Xia turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, but it was still dark around him.
Looking at the leopard in front of him, which was acting cute and almost lying on the ground with its belly turned over, Kidd gradually dispelled his previous doubts - it was late at night, and it was difficult to distinguish the expression and demeanor of a black panther.
Therefore, Kidd thought that the reason he felt the black panther was afraid just now might be because it was too dark and he was seeing things wrong. Of course, it might also be because he was near Jiangxia and the beast was hesitant about the presence of a stranger like him.
...In comparison, the image of Black Panther sticking to Jiang Xia is quite clear now.
Looking at it this way, Jiang Xia's use of the term "small animal" to describe the black panther does seem to make sense...
Just as he was thinking about it, the black panther's tail swung happily and passed by Kidd's hand.
Kidd caught a glimpse of the furry tail and subconsciously reached out to stroke it.
The black panther twitched its nose and smelled a little bit of magic in Kidd's hand.
Its eyes lit up, and it suddenly turned its head, opened its bloody mouth, and bit me.
Kidd: “!”
He quickly withdrew his hand.
The sharp white fangs hung where his hand had just stopped, and did not close.
——At the same time as the black panther was biting, Jiang Xia came back to his senses and blocked the black panther's mouth.
Ganfanmao: "..."
It opened its mouth wide and felt Jiang Xia's hand stuck in it. It froze in place, not daring to bite down.
Combined with the experience since signing the contract, it has reason to suspect that the psychic master is baiting cats to enforce the law...
Thinking of this, the black panther kept its mouth open and closed at a terrifying angle, and moved its neck horizontally and backward.
When it could no longer bite Jiang Xia's hand, it closed its mouth obediently.
After a pause, he licked Jiang Xia's hand in a flattering manner.
Jiang Xia patted the cat's head twice: "It's better to let the monster collect the magic power. When the real body is here, just stay away. Otherwise, if Kidd finds out the truth, the situation will be a little embarrassing..."
Moreover, this time, Kidd had already used up a lot of his accumulated magic power, and the remaining magic power was not worth opening two Mist Tengu to collect.
…
Kidd watched the scene silently, thinking of the time when he was almost bitten by the leopard, and silently adjusted the gloves on his hands.
"..." So ferocious. No matter how docile it looks, a beast is still a beast after all...
Come to think of it, Kidd thought, although he could have dodged it himself, Jiang Xia instinctively raised his hand to cover the leopard's mouth to prevent him from being bitten. Although this is also a trust between humans and animals, to react like this for a strange thief... This detective is really a righteous good man as the rumors say.
Just as he was thinking about it, Kidd heard the ferocious leopard that almost bit him just now making a very coquettish cry under Jiang Xia's hands.
Kidd: “…”
This leopard really likes Jiang Xia... Is there really a person in the world with such a physique that attracts so many animals?
...Indeed, he has magic. It is not impossible that his physique is a little exaggerated.
But...how did the topic turn to this? Kidd thought, just now, weren't they still talking about the issue of sheltering the Phantom Thief...
Kidd reviewed the situation with a hint of doubt.
Then he suddenly remembered the reason why Jiang Xia started rubbing the leopard.
Kidd: “…” By the way, before, they were clearly talking about Mist Tengu.
Then Jiang Xia explained that Wu Tengu gave him the information because he was liked by small animals... huh? ?
Kidd thought about the logic behind the words and showed a hint of shock in his eyes. In Jiang Xia's eyes, a dangerous monster that was suspected of eating people and making witches flee could actually be forced into the category of "small animals"? ?
...But, regardless of his strength, Mist Tengu is obviously a monster.
Jiang Xia is a detective. Shouldn't such a person be very scientific?
"..." Thinking of this, Kidd fell into deep thought for a moment:
Could it be that the monsters actually have some purely animal forms, such as Mist Tengu which can transform into a giant eagle, or a handsome crow with gold edges on its feathers, and then use that appearance to disguise themselves as animals and contact Jiang Xia?
Hmm? So this leopard...
Kidd cast a suspicious look at the Black Panther in front of him - he suddenly figured out what he had hit when he was flying between the buildings just now.
——Let’s not discuss what kind of inclusive worldview Jiang Xia, the Leopard Knight, has.
The fact that the black panther could carry the weight of a man and leap back and forth between steel buildings... no matter how you think about it, it doesn't seem like a simple animal.
...Could this actually be a monster?
Kidd pressed his forehead, feeling that his tattered worldview had been cracked again.
However, thanks to the fact that he was often forced to accept new knowledge about monsters and witches, Kidd was still able to think calmly when facing strange animals with strong jumping abilities.
He recalled his previous idea that "the monster disguised itself as an ordinary animal and got close to Jiang Xia."
Gradually I felt that this might not be the case.
This is especially not the case with Mist Tengu.
Just now Jiang Xia said that Kirito said Kidd was a good person - this means that Jiang Xia and Kirito had a precise communication. A bird disguised as an animal obviously cannot do these things.
In other words…
A more likely hypothesis emerged in Kidd's mind.
——Jiang Xia has seen the normal form of Mist Tengu, and had a friendly and harmonious exchange with him.
The moment this speculation came up, Kidd suddenly realized something.
——No wonder last time, after he disguised himself as Jiang Xia, Kiri Tengu superficially agreed to "hand Jiang Xia over to Terai", but as soon as Kidd left, Kiri Tengu turned around and sent Jiang Xia to the warm and safe toll station, and Terai, who rushed there, didn't even catch a hair...
Now that I think about it, this might be because Grandpa Terai had a little prejudice against Kiri Tengu, so Kiri Tengu also felt that Terai was unreliable and didn't want to hand over the detective he liked, so he handled it on his own...
