Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 448 Kidd, who was brutally captured (monthly ticket plus more)

  The ugly servant is not liked by witches because of his appearance, but he is very reliable in his work.

   In the afternoon, Yuan Hongna got into the servant's car and came to the castle where Koizumi Hongko was.

When    was on the phone before, she had listened to Koizumi Koizumi briefly about what happened before.

   Now, Yuan Hongnai has inquired about the details again in detail, especially the matter of Koizumi Hongzi being carried to the sky by the foggy dog ​​and thrown down, trying to float but failing to float.

Then she rationally denied Koizumi Koizumi's guess: "It has been passed down from generation to generation to the present, our magic has become perfect, there will be no failure, and there will be no creatures that can feed on magic power - otherwise, how could he be killed before? You've been stuck for so long."

   "But..." Koizumi Hongko didn't have time to think about it at the time, but after she came back, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

   She even suspected that Wutengu's weak and entangled appearance in the magic circle was actually faked by him - perhaps it was simply the measures taken by the cunning monster to trick her into maintaining the magic circle, so as to take away her magic power.

   Yuan Hongna gently interrupted the niece:

   "Mental state has a great influence on magic, you were too nervous and too excited.

"And it was a full moon that night. For us, the full moon is a double-edged sword—it does give us strength, it makes the magic skyrocket, but it also brings some magic that doesn't belong to us, makes the power not more stable.

   "Magic requires precision operation. Whether it's mixed in impurities, or the wrong amount, it will affect the final result...Alas, if I were here, I would prevent you from choosing that day to plan."

After    finished speaking, Yuan Hongnai thought for a while, and then corrected himself:

   "No, not even if it wasn't that day—

   "Love chocolate is a forbidden technique for us... After this matter is resolved, remember to write a 10,000-word review and submit it to the Wizards Association."

   Koizumi Hongzi: "..."

   She had still piled up her homework for the past few days, but now she has another review, and a blue vein suddenly popped out of her forehead.

   She defended unconvincingly: "Those magics with great power that can easily take people's lives are not forbidden arts. Why should a piece of chocolate be forbidden? It just changes the user's thinking in a certain way."

Yuan Hongnai shook her head, revealing a meaningful smile, her delicate face was half-bright under the gloomy lights of the castle: "Silly child, the destructive power of dividing the forbidden technique is not aimed at others, but at ourselves— —”

   "Magic with great power can hurt others, but it can protect ourselves, so it is not a forbidden art.

"But love chocolate is different—you've probably already experienced it. Everyone, um...every creature thinks differently and expresses it in a variety of ways, and not everyone will fall in love the way you'd expect. After you, I will do my best and bow down to you.

   "On the contrary, that kind of chocolate may raise a group of lunatic people who are crazy to get close to us.

   "Even if it's just a weak ordinary person without magic, when they want to do something and get something by unscrupulous means, they may cause huge trouble... In short, similar magic, don't use it again in the future."

   Koizumi Hongko nodded hesitantly.

  ... What Aunt Hongnai said seems to make sense.

Before Yuan Hongnai came here, Koizumi Hongko was still thinking that Wutengu might have eaten the magic power while eating chocolate, which caused the magic to fail. Wutengu not only ignored her orders easily, but also She took it to the sky and tossed it around.

   But now it seems…

  Perhaps it was just like what she thought at first—love magic did indeed take effect on Wutengou, and she became a tragic parabola, just because Wutiangu had a different understanding of love than ordinary people.

  ...how "different from ordinary people"?

   Wouldn’t be so different that you want to eat your lover in your stomach…

   Koizumi Hongko shivered silently when she remembered the legend of the foggy dog ​​eating people.

   The "love" she wants is to make the monster kneel at her feet and obey her, instead of opening her up and turning her into a snack...

  Yuan Hongnai noticed her subtle fear and smiled gracefully:

   "Don't worry. I'll help you with this matter - I'm just curious about that monster too."

  “…”

   Koizumi Koriko fell silent.

  ... I was afraid, but maybe there was a drawbridge effect. When she heard that Aunt Hongnai was going to catch the Wutiangu, her first reaction was "I want to come and raise it".

  … Forget it, it’s too early to think about this now.

   Let's wait until we catch that monster. For some reason, she always felt that things might not be so smooth...

  Thinking like this, Koizumi Koriko stood aside and watched Yuan Kuna raised her wand and started divination.

  …

In Yuan Hongnai's view, since the niece had contact with the monster and was thrown around for a while by the other party, perhaps through these connections, from Koizumi Hongzi, the location of the fog tengu can be divination. .

   However, after she finished a long series of spells, all that was waiting was a wand that was aimless and slammed to the ground.

   - Under the best circumstances, this wand can even fly all the way to the target.

   However, this time, when it comes to looking for the fog tengu, it didn't even leave a hint.

  Yuan Hongna frowned at the wand and raised her hand to call it back.

   After thinking for a moment, she changed her way.

   "Let's go find that classmate of yours - it seems to be called Kuroba Kaito?"

  Yuan Hongnai's long nails dyed bright red rubbed her wand and pondered:

   "It's not a coincidence that you can use his handkerchief to attract the foggy tengu. It's impossible for them to be unrelated - even, maybe that classmate of yours is actually a person who turned from a monster."

  …

   After school, Kidd plans to go to Terai Huangnosuke to sit for a while, and then go home.

   As a result, we walked halfway and met Koizumi Hongko in the alley.

  ——The eyes of this witch who had been absent from class for a few days were condensed, and she was holding a strange ball in her hand, which was full of bad intentions.

   It seems that the current magic power is not enough for her to maintain her witch form. What Koizumi Hongko was wearing was just an ordinary dress.

   As soon as the two sides looked at each other, Koizumi Koriko didn't say a word, and suddenly threw the thing in her hand.

  The ball instantly swelled into a big sticky net, and it was caged towards Kidd.

   Kidd was already secretly alert when the witch appeared.

   At this time, Koizumi Hongko suddenly had a change. He immediately pulled the fishing line that was arranged in advance and pulled himself to the branch next to him.

The    fishing line took him diagonally upwards, avoiding the strange big net. Kidd stretched out his hand to prop up the tree trunk and flipped to the ground.

  ...and was stepping into a magic circle full of magic power.
