Chapter 859 Black Cat and Misfortune
Kidd: “……?” Did he hear it wrong? Cats can actually sigh? Is this really just a cat?
Think about the black cat that cut the alloy chain with one easy claw. Think about the black panther that carried Jiang Xia back and forth between the buildings...
Kidd was lost in thought for a moment.
...Have today's cats evolved to this extent secretly without humans' knowledge?
Or was my previous guess correct, and this was not an animal at all, but a monster similar to Mist Tengu?
Many guesses flashed through Kidd's mind, and he even wanted to take a closer look at the cat above his head.
However, this was obviously not the time to dwell on these matters. The retreat equipment he had prepared in advance had been cut off by the cunning detective. He had to come up with another way to evacuate as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Kidd's eyes couldn't help but twitch. He always felt that everything was not going well today... He was not superstitious at first, and always sneered when he heard others say that "encountering a black cat represents bad luck."
But now...
Kidd thought of the cat above his head that looked like an overseer for some reason, and the oversized black "cat" that he had bumped into before, carrying Jiang Xia on its back. Suddenly, he thought, maybe the superstitious experience of the ancients was not without reason?
Of course, if we have to explain it scientifically, we can also explain that Kidd has been fighting wits and courage with Inspector Nakamori for too long, and suddenly he was replaced by Hakuba Detective, and he couldn't adapt temporarily...
…
Kidd thought of his mistakes tonight and the cat's disgusted expression, and pressed his forehead.
——There are many things worth reflecting on in this operation.
But now is obviously not the right time to stop and reflect.
——Police officers who noticed something was wrong poured in from the corridor. Now that the gem was in their hands, they had to leave quickly.
Kidd forced himself to suppress his complicated thoughts, maintaining a poker face like a magician, and raised his hand to lift the cloak behind him.
The soft and silky black-tech cloak instantly stretches and hardens, transforming into a pair of hang gliders.
When the cat hit me on the forehead just now, my hat tilted a little.
Kidd straightened his hat calmly, maintaining the dignity of an internationally renowned thief. He looked at Hakuba and sneered, "The magician's preparations in advance are so complicated that a middle school kid can't see through them."
After dropping this handsome line, and before the police surrounded him.
Kidd stepped on the windowsill and leaped out of the window, intending to exit gracefully from mid-air like he did every time he succeeded.
This is not the top of the building, but in the middle, surrounded by many other buildings. The helicopters in the sky cannot land and track him, so it is difficult to catch him.
...That should be the case in theory.
but……
In the exhibition hall, Bai Ma ran to the window, holding his hands on the windowsill. Large snowflakes were blown in by the wind, fell on his face, and quickly turned into water. He looked at the figure flying in the night and was silent for a while.
After a moment, Bai Matan raised his hand expressionlessly and wiped the water stains off his face.
He looked down at Watson, who was leaning weakly beside him, with his feathers messed up by the cat, and smoothed its fur. At the same time, he said softly to himself, "It's northwest windy tonight, force seven. At this height and position, flying at night with a hang glider... Tsk, the cat won't be dragged down by that stupid thief and fall to death. It's rare to meet an animal as smart as you."... In fact, Bai Ma Tan felt that the cat seemed to be smarter. However, in front of Watson, he really had to save some face for the eagle...
…
Outside the building.
Kidd's face turned pale as he tried to maintain the balance of his hang glider in the face of strong winds and heavy snow.
He also knew that it was windy today, but there were too many policemen and security guards in the building, and they could provide rotational support.
Compared to staying inside and fighting with a group of people, the world outside is freer. Even if you fall a little bit, no one will see it - thieves also have to save face.
In addition, there is actually another reason to go this way.
——According to Kidd's experience, Mist Tengu also seems to read newspapers, and then this monster will suddenly appear on his retreat path after he succeeds and eat the gems.
Based on this premise, Kidd thought that if he flew into the sky, he might encounter a robbing Mist Tengu—even if he was robbed, at least he would be safe. After all, the Mist Tengu's flexible wings were more reliable than his rigid glider.
However, Kidd held on to the crooked glider and fought against the wind and snow for a long time, but he did not see any creature that looked like Mist Tengu appear.
"..." Kidd's hands were frozen and numb, and he fell into deep thought: This weather is indeed not suitable for flying. He rarely encountered such a situation in the past... Could it be that Mist Tengu also felt that the weather was bad, so he didn't want to go out today?
Kidd's mind slowly emerged the scene of Mist Tengu staying in his lair, comfortably roasting a fire, and leisurely watching the live broadcast of the theft on the mobile phone he gave him.
As I thought about it, I suddenly felt a little regretful.
——If I had known this, I might not have been so casual when I left the exhibition hall just now.
If Kiri Tengu saw the live broadcast just now, he would think that Kidd had made sufficient preparations to escape and gave up the original plan of "coming over to help"...
While thinking, he had already flown out from between the two buildings.
The helicopter overhead loomed down, and the beam of light hit him. The environment suddenly became bright, interrupting Kidd's thoughts.
Kidd: “…” In such a strong wind, they still dare to fly a helicopter out to catch the thief. These policemen are so dedicated!
He pressed the glider's joystick hard and barely avoided a capture net that was coming head-on.
But he finally lost his balance and was blown away like a piece of paper caught in a turbulent flow.
It eventually crashed into a nearby ice rink and hit the tower in the middle of the rink.
…
The high-tech cloak and hang glider provide some protection.
In addition, Kidd himself was very skilled, so he didn't fall to the ground and was finally able to land safely.
Unfortunately, however, the police also saw the direction in which Kidd fell.
——The police, who had embarrassed themselves in the live broadcast tonight, stepped on the accelerator of their police car and rushed here angrily.
Kidd heard the noise getting closer, hissed, stood up and tried to leave.
But as soon as he stepped on the slippery ice, he stumbled and almost fell.
Kidd never attended a training class in Hawaii, but he has mastered many skills. Unfortunately, these skills do not include "skating".
Now, it happened to fall in the middle of the ice rink...
Kidd felt more and more that he was plagued by bad luck.
But now is obviously not the time to lament my bad luck.
He rummaged around in his prop bag and pulled out a substitute ball - when this ball was cracked, it would inflate into a life-size doll of "Kaito Kid" with a white cape and white suit.
