Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 449 Monster, Witch, Monster Thief Food Chain

   Kidd stared at the magic circle under his feet: "..."

   He tried to tug on the line that he had not had time to retrieve.

   However, his whole body was stuck by the magic circle, and the power brought by the mechanism was completely unable to move him and get him out of trouble.

   made several attempts in just a few seconds, and in the end, Kidd could do nothing.

   He silently looked at Koizumi Hongko in front of him. Looking at the mature and charming woman who came out from the other side, wearing a crimson hood, there was a desperate scolding in my heart.

  ...Why are there unscientific comparisons everywhere.

   The life of an ordinary high school boy is getting harder and harder.

  …

   Kuroba Kaito was just stuffed into the car by the witches and went all the way to the castle on the outskirts.

   On the way, he tried to escape several times, but after repeated battles, he failed to escape the witch's poisonous claws.

   After catching someone for the last time, Yuan Hongna pointed her chin with her fingertips, looking at Kidd and thinking:

   "My magic power has not passed away abnormally. I have given you so many opportunities, and you have never turned into a monster and increased the probability of escape-it seems that you are not the monster, you are Kid?"

  “…”

   Kidd didn't speak, and was secretly vigilant. It sounded that this newly appeared witch was actually aimed at the foggy dog.

  ... With Koizumi Hongko's foreshadowing, they should have discovered Wutengu's behavior of cheating and eating magic. Why do you want to come here to deliver food, and you look so confident?

   Could it be that you have already found a way to deal with the monsters, this time you want to come over and settle accounts with Wutiangou? Speaking of which, this new face does look better than the underage Koizumi Koizumi...

Thinking of this, Kidd's originally relaxed heart sank a little - this is not impossible, after all, according to Grandpa Terai, magicians have a corresponding inheritance, and they have not only honed their exquisite magic power in the long inheritance, Also accumulated a wealth of knowledge.

  ... Among them, if there is one or two things that can restrain youkai, it is also very reasonable.

   Moreover, the little witch deliberately moved out the big witch to find the foggy dog, probably not just for revenge.

Kidd remembered the habits of the legendary witches, and several bottles and jars could not help but come to his mind - one with the label of "Misty Dog Meat", one with "Misten Dog Skeleton", and there are also Mistten Dogs The heart, liver, spleen, stomach, lungs, eyeballs, wings of the brand... In this world, even the parts of ordinary animals and plants can become precious materials, not to mention the foggy tengu, which is very rare and precious in itself.

   Thinking of the **** scene that the brain made up, Kidd looked at Yuan Hongna who started to ask questions, and his mouth closed even tighter.

  …

  Yuan Hongnai asked a few questions, but got no response, so she just sat upright again and ignored it.

   When she got there, she dragged Kid, surrounded by magic, into the castle and threw it into the magic circle drawn in advance.

  This magic circle is exactly the same as the one Koizumi Koizumi set up a few days ago.

   Kidd looked familiar and thought it was another sticky glue array.

   However, the moment he fell in, he couldn't help but let out a suppressed scream.

   - Kidd stayed in the same formation for so long before, except that he felt that his movements were blocked, and there was no discomfort.

   But now, there is a misty tengu who likes to eat magic power next to him, and he realizes that people and monsters are really different, and he also realizes with hindsight what the magic circles arranged by the witches are.

  ——This is not just a net for catching prey, but more like a crematorium that endows the roasted with the curse of immortality. The moment he fell into the magic circle, from the skin to the muscles, all the way to the bone marrow, every cell seemed to be torn and burned by flames, and the pain was worse than being dragged by a horse in a needle blanket full of steel thorns.

  Yuan Hongnai closed her robes, stood gracefully beside the magic circle, and asked softly, "Where does that monster usually live? Where can I find him?"

   Kidd's forehead was full of cold sweat, but his mouth was still stubborn: "What monster... Can you respect science... Read more and less superstition."

   "Lying in a magic circle and talking about science..."

  Yuan Hongnai snorted softly, bent down, and plucked one of Kidd's hair.

   She raised her hand and snapped her fingers crisply, and the crimson flames rose, engulfing her hair silently.

  Yuan Hongnai stared at the flame in her palm for a while, then stretched out her hand and placed the gradually dissipating flame on the crystal ball.

   The crystal that was originally transparent suddenly became cloudy, like a hazy layer of smoke.

   followed closely, the scene inside changed, and several blurry pictures flashed——

   The scene presented in the picture is all late at night.

   The protagonists of the night are the phantom thief wearing a striking white cape, and the misty dog ​​who reached out to the phantom thief as if he was delivering something.

  … This is the intersection of Kidd and Misttengu.

Looking back at these scenes, Yuan Hongnai felt that the foggy dog ​​seemed to be handing tools to Kidd. At the same time, she secretly guessed: Could Kidd, as an ordinary person, be able to steal treasures many times and ignore the countless police who rounded him up? Because he actually has an elusive monster helper?

Thinking along this line of thought, Yuan Hongnai suddenly nodded secretly - Kidd wore a striking white suit, perhaps to attract his attention to himself, so that the monster who helped him steal was more concealed, and it was convenient for him to move in secret... …

   And now, compared to the way the phantom thief and the monster cooperate to steal treasure, Yuan Hongna cares more about another piece of information——

   Judging from the divination results, the high school student they captured was indeed Kid.

   And he did have a relationship with the fog tengu.

   "You really know each other." Yuan Hongnai put down the crystal ball and dragged her robe back to the magic circle.

   She looked down at Kidd, who was scorched by magic and curled up in pain. She obeyed the sideburns that fell from her hood, and asked slowly:

   "How do you usually communicate? Letters? Phone calls? Announcements?

   "As long as you help me find him, I can immediately disperse the magic circle - the taste of being scorched by invisible flames, isn't it bad."

  “…”

   Kidd looked at the edge of Yuan Hongna's crimson robe, and fell into deep thought after listening to her wonderful rhythm.

  People have human rights, even witches should not kill people easily.

   But youkai should not be protected by law...

   The row of materials named "Fog Tiangou xx" appeared in his mind again, and shivered silently. Half of it hurts, and half is shocked by the dismemberment picture of my brain supplement.

   Seeing that Kidd had resumed his deaf and dumb look, Yuan Hongnai frowned slightly.

   She impatiently raised her foot and stomped the ground, and the visible magic power rose. The stinging pain that rubbed the bone marrow instantly became clearer and more intense.

   Kidd's eyes darkened.

   He felt the magic formation whose power was gradually increasing. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "...Usually... contact by phone..."
