Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 461 Learning method to ask for a monthly pass (〃)

   Kidd slowly remembered Koizumi Koizumi who was tragically kidnapped by the mist tengu a few nights ago, and the magic circle in the castle that disappeared quickly after the mist tengu fell.

  ...Suddenly, he saw through the true intention of the fog tengu to persuade him to learn magic.

   Kidd looked down at his miserable self, and then looked at Wutiangu: "I'm already like this, you still want to squeeze magic power? Or are you not a human..."

   After instinctively condemning, he remembered something and silently shut his mouth: Well, he really isn’t…

  Fog Tengu looked up at the sky, ignoring Kidd's second half sentence, and only answered the previous question:

"I don't know magic, but I have heard of this kind of thing. It seems to be some kind of thaumaturgy passed down from generation to generation. You also produced magic power just now. Since you have this talent, it means that your previous generation also has- You can ask your father and ask him to come and teach you."

  "..." actually said the word "output" directly, is the terrible magician just like a candy factory in the eyes of Wutiangou...

   Kidd was thinking secretly when he suddenly heard Jiang Xia's last words.

   He was silent for a moment: "My dad is gone. Eight years ago, when he performed escape magic together, the hostile forces manipulated the props and he was killed by bombing."

   Jiang Xia was also silent for a while: "...There is smoke and no injuries."

   Kidd didn't understand: "?"

"If you haven't seen someone die, there's a good chance that person will still be alive..." Jiang Xia thought for a while, "Even if he's really gone, there should be other ways to learn magic, you can't keep hiding. Possessed by a witch, living alone in the world."

   Kidd sighed when he remembered that he was going home from school as usual yesterday, but was caught by the witch on his way home.

  ... This really affects his daily life too much, and at the same time, it will inevitably affect his activities as "Phantom Thief Kid".

   He thought for a while: "I'll ask my mother. Since magicians rely on inheritance, my talent may also be passed down from her side."

   After saying that, Kidd remembered the strange new term of the fog tengu just now, and his heart moved slightly.

  ...Speaking of which, when my father was "bombed to death", my mother's sadness didn't last long and soon dissipated.

  Although this can be explained as she has a big heart or is good at hiding her emotions, but... maybe there is something else hidden - for example, his father is not dead at all?

   Thinking of this possibility, Kidd's mood improved a lot.

   In addition, as a qualified magician, you should not put your eggs in the same basket.

   Apart from the mother's side, Kidd thought of other things—

   "Grandpa Terai also seems to know something about magicians, so I'll ask him later."

"And the power of magicians is so strong, and the things they can do are incredible, but I have never heard news about them. In addition, I remember Koizumi Koizumi's aunt said that although they have outstanding abilities, they are not completely immune. Restrictions'... So I think there may be some organizations such as associations that have unified jurisdiction over them. If they find the address of the organization and write a report letter, their aunts and nephews may be more restrained. "

   "Koizumi Koizumi's aunt?" Wutengu's ears moved slightly and seemed to be very interested in certain keywords, "Magician Association?"

  “…”

   Kidd always felt that although he and Wutengu were talking about the same thing, they didn't seem to be talking about the same topic.

  There is an inexplicable sense of dislocation between goats and tigers talking about how to become more robust - one is concerned about their own health, the other is concerned about the firmness of meat...

   But after all, he was still riding a ride with the foggy tengu. Kidd glanced at the ground far below, and bit his head to talk about the topic:

"Koizumi Koizumi's aunt is also a witch, and she arranged the magic circles today. As for the association... the existence of an association is just a speculation, not necessarily true. In addition, even if there is, the magicians seem to be the same. I'm very interested in monsters, if there are too many of them, don't be **** them, after all, technology is power now..."

   Jiang Xia glanced down at him.

   Koizumi Hongko really moved in to help. Her aunt... Since it is based on inheritance, according to the traditional skills of playing small and big, after draining aunt, will there be another grandma with more mellow magic power?

  ...that's good news.

   However, aside from that, Kidd didn't seem to be able to overhear much from the witch. Forget it, ask yourself later.

  …

   Kidd is always worried that Wutiangou intends to eat the entire association with one demon, be carried away by magic, rush into the headquarters of others, and then fall into high-tech.

   He was trying his best to learn about human technology.

   However, he suddenly felt that the flying speed of the foggy tengu slowed down: "It's here."

   "...Oh, thank you very much." Kidd first habitually thanked the driver of the hitchhiker, and then suddenly remembered that he had never told Wutiangou his home address.

  ...Could it be that the foggy dog ​​really followed him all the way to his house for the gem?

   Kidd's mood was complicated for a moment.

   But after a closer look, I realized that the lower part is not my home, but a hospital.

  The scene on the ground quickly approached—Fog Tengu took advantage of the night to fall, and placed him outside the window of the duty room, then got up and patted the window, and flew away quickly.

"Wait…"

   Kidd closed his eyes with the wind carried by the huge wings.

   When he came back to his senses, there were no monsters in front of him.

   crunch—

With a soft sound, the window of the duty room opened, and the beautiful female doctor looked around suspiciously, and suddenly found a person lying outside.

   She shrank slightly, showing a slightly frightened expression.

   "...Haha, good evening."

   Kidd lay on the ground and greeted her shamelessly, wanting to cover his face a little.

   Lying on the street with a corpse is too bad... I was too focused on chatting just now and didn't pay attention to the situation below, otherwise it would be better to let Wutiango put him at home, so that he doesn't have to be embarrassed in front of the beautiful sister...

  …

   In the distance, Rice Flower Art Theater.

   Jiang Xia opened his eyes in the main body.

   has a physical carrying memory, and he quickly "sees" what happened before.

  “…”

Jiang Xia glanced at the curtain railings that fell to the ground in the distance and smashed the stage into a deep hole, thinking that it was right to leave Akemi Miyano to watch the house - this world, no matter how safe a place seems, it seems that There will be many fatal factors. Miyano Akemi's one-second invincible skill is still the most secure way to bind it next to the main body.

   But this time, it didn't work. There are a lot of teammates hanging around, saving a fortune...

   Jiang Xia straightened up slightly from the back of the chair and glanced at the crime scene in front of him.
