Conan’s Corpse Picker

Kidd's heart was filled with turmoil.

He was sweating coldly, thinking about how to escape. At this time, after absorbing the magic power, the monster behind him tried to knock him with a few spikes.

After realizing that there seemed to be no extra magic power, Miss Spider stopped with some dissatisfaction.

"..."

Although the magic power he had accumulated for a long time was gone again, Kuroba Kaito looked at the few sharp thorns that did not continue to poke his vitals, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - at least for now, this monster seems to be just I want to gather some magic power, but I have no intention of eating a feast of human flesh.

The new monster didn't take action, but Kidd couldn't help but become more curious.

He originally wanted to turn around and take a peek at this unknown monster. But out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the spikes pressing against his body, and he suddenly felt that these things looked familiar—like eight enlarged spider legs.

Kuroba Kaito: "..." Wait a minute, the thing behind him couldn't be a scary big furry spider. When he turned around, it would stare at him with eight eyes, then open its mouth and take a big bite. The one that bites his head off.

Thinking of the spider that was enlarged to look like a human, Kuroba Kaito shuddered silently and silently stopped turning his head.

He tried to communicate: "Well, actually I am also a good friend of Jiang Xia! You see, I just rescued him from the clutches of that beautiful aunt!"

I don’t know if this passage played a role or for some other reason.

The next moment, with a slight rustling sound, those dangerous spikes were actually retracted.

Kuroba Kaito: "..." Jiang Xia's name is so useful among monsters?

Or was the big spider already full and retreating on its own?

Thinking like this, he finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and couldn't help but look back.

However, there was an empty alley behind him, and the monster left without knowing when.

Kuroba Kaito blankly adjusted the hole in his collar, and suddenly thought of something.

He turned around quickly and saw Jiang Xia on the chair opening her eyes, seeming to have woken up from her drunken state.

Kuroba Kaito: "..." What a coincidence? Jiang Xia woke up just after the spider left?

No, from a logical point of view, it is more likely to be the other way around - as soon as Jiang Xia woke up, the monster left.

Kuroba Kaito: "..." So, that scary big spider really didn't look good. Maybe it didn't want Jiang Xia to see it, so it hurried away... Fortunately, he didn't look back just now. . But thinking about it on the other hand, such a shy monster seems quite cute. Maybe I should look back just now?

He looked at Jiang Xia on the bench and had a lot of questions about monsters. But I remembered that I was still carrying the skin of Kudo Yusaku. Out of his dedication to pretending to be who he was, Kaito Kuroba reluctantly suppressed those question marks.

He pushed up the thin-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose and showed a gentle smile belonging to an elder: "Long time no see."

Jiang Xia: "..."

…

the other side.

After the brief conversation between "Usa" and Okiya Subaru ended.

Okiya Subaru sighed with mixed joy as he solved a life-long event.

No matter what impact this decision will have on his future, in short, now, he breathed a sigh of relief for a long time - without the terrible cases brought by Uzo, Okiya Subaru finally had something to live for. It feels like you don't have to worry about being involved in a murder case in the next step, and then turning into a corpse that was brutally affected, or a suspect wanted by the police.

But I left the bar and walked through several crowded night market streets on my way to a place where I could get a taxi.

Okiya Subaru's originally relaxed mood suddenly became tense due to certain information.

Okiya Subaru: "..." I always felt that some of the people walking towards him would look at a certain angle behind him, as if there was a rather eye-catching person following him there.

It's just a street, so it can be interpreted as a road trip. But now he has changed his trajectory several times, and it is like this on every street...

A terrible thought suddenly popped up, and Subaru Okiya's heart skipped a beat - he might be being followed.

Snap.

Okiya Subaru's watch seemed to have been unbuckled and fell to the ground.

He turned around to pick it up, and when he turned around, he looked behind him vaguely, but he didn't see any suspicious figures.

But this does not seem to mean safety: there are many small shops on both sides of the street. The billboards or large displays at the entrance, and even the shops themselves with poor lighting, are excellent hiding places.

If the person following you is always looking for a place to hide, and quickly hides when he shows signs of turning around, then he will indeed not see anything.

Okiya Subaru picked up his watch and put it on, turned around and continued walking. The pace was slow and leisurely, but his heart was already beating fast.

Okiya Subaru: "..." At this time, I really missed the glasses I had been wearing before.

If the glasses were still there, he could still find a way to use the reflection to see what was going on behind him. However, now, because he had disguised his identity when going abroad, he no longer wore the glasses.

Okiya Subaru had no choice but to look at everything that might reflect light in front of him, but still found nothing.

...No one seemed to be following him.

However, the experience accumulated in the past and the paranoia persecuted by Uzo made it difficult for him to feel at ease no matter what - just because he couldn't see people in the reflection didn't mean that no one was following him.

Even thinking about it from another aspect, the other party may be someone who has received special training. Therefore, when tracking, that person is not only always in a position where he can hide quickly, but also specifically avoids people who may be caught by reflected light. Angle... In short, the less someone is following you, the more vigilant you should be.

Okiya Subaru broke into a cold sweat at the thought that there might be an invisible and terrifying opponent behind him.

This familiar sense of oppression made him reach into his pocket and touch his cell phone. He instinctively wanted to blindly type a message such as "Uzo is going to kill me!" to ask Shuichi Akai for help.

However, the cool touch of the phone brought Okiya Subaru back to his senses quickly, and he sighed sadly.

——The reliable Mr. Akai is a thing of the past.

What he should be looking for now seems to be that scary new boss.

Thinking of this, Subaru Okiya took a deep breath, chose his words, and typed them carefully: [After I came out of the bar, I felt as if someone was following me. ]

After all, there was too little known information now, and he was typing blindly with his hand in his pocket. He didn't write much, just left the key information, and then pressed send.
