Corpse collector in Conan

Kidd slowly thought of Koizumi Hongzi, who was tragically kidnapped by Kiriten Dog a few nights ago, and the magic circle in the castle that disappeared quickly after Kiriten Dog fell.

...Suddenly he saw through Wutian Dog's true intention of persuading him to learn magic.

Kidd looked down at his miserable self, and then looked at Wutian Dog: "I'm already like this, and you still want to squeeze the magic power? You're still not a human being..."

After instinctively condemning, he thought of something again and silently closed his mouth: Well, he really isn't...

The foggy dog ​​looked up at the sky, ignored the second half of Kidd's sentence, and only answered the previous question:

"I don't know magic, but I have heard about this kind of thing. This 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 had - —You can ask your father and ask him to come over and teach you."

"..." He actually said the word "output" directly. In the eyes of Wutiangu, the terrible magician is just like a candy factory...

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 was performing escape magic, hostile forces tampered with the props and he was killed by a bomb."

Jiang Xia was also silent for a moment: "...there is no harm in the smoke."

Kidd didn't understand: "?"

"If you haven't seen someone die with your own eyes, there is a good chance that that person is still alive..." Jiang Xia thought for a while, "Even if he is really gone, there should be other ways to learn magic. You can't always learn magic." Hiding from the witch, living alone in seclusion.”

Kidd sighed as he thought about how he went home from school yesterday, but was targeted and kidnapped by a witch on the way home.

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

He thought for a moment: "I'll ask my mother. Since magicians rely on inheritance, it's possible that my talent was passed down from her side."

After saying that, Kidd thought about the strange new term for foggy dog ​​just now, and his heart moved slightly.

...Speaking of which, when my father was "killed in a bombing", my mother's sadness did not last long and dissipated quickly.

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

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

Furthermore, as a qualified magician, you should not put all your eggs in one basket.

In addition to his mother's side, Kidd thought of other things——

"Grandpa Terai seems to know something about magicians. I will ask him about it later."

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

"Koizumi Anko's aunt?" Kiritengou's ears twitched slightly, seeming to be very interested in certain keywords, "Magician Association?"

"..."

Kidd always felt that although he and Wu Tiangu were talking about the same thing, they seemed to be talking about different topics.

There is an inexplicable sense of dislocation between a goat and a tiger talking about how to become stronger - one is concerned about his own health, the other is concerned about firmness of meat...

But after all, he was still riding the coattails of Kiritengu. Kidd glanced at the distant ground below and forced himself to continue the conversation:

"Koizumi Hongzi's aunt is also a witch, and she arranged today's magic circle. As for the association... the existence of the association is just a speculation, and it may not really exist. In addition, even if there is, the magicians seem to I'm also very interested in monsters. If there are too many of them, don't force yourself on them. After all, technology is the power now..."

Jiang Xia looked down at him.

As expected, Koizumi Hongzi moved in as reinforcements. Her aunt...since it relies on inheritance, and according to the traditional art skills of beating the little ones to the big ones, after squeezing her aunt dry, will there be another grandma with more mellow magic power?

...This is good news.

However, other than that, Kidd didn't seem to be able to overhear much from the witch. Forget it, I’ll ask it myself later.

…

Kidd was always worried that Wu Tiangu planned to eat up the entire association with one demon, get carried away by the magic, break into their headquarters, and then fall into high technology.

He was trying his best to popularize human science and technology.

But suddenly he felt that the foggy dog's flying speed had slowed down: "We're here."

"...Oh, thank you, thank you." Kidd habitually thanked the ride-hailing driver, and then suddenly remembered that he had never told Wu Tiangu about his home address.

...Did Wutian Dog really follow him all the way to his home for the gem?

Kidd felt complicated for a moment.

But after taking a closer look, I realized that the bottom was not my home, but a hospital.

The scenery on the ground quickly came closer - the foggy dog ​​took advantage of the night to fall and placed him outside the window of the duty room, then stood up, patted the window, and flew away quickly.

"wait……"

Kidd was blown by the wind brought by the huge wings and closed his eyes for a moment.

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

Crunch——

There was a soft sound, and the window of the duty room opened. The beautiful female doctor looked around suspiciously, and suddenly found someone lying outside.

She flinched slightly, showing a slightly frightened expression.

"...Haha, good evening."

Kidd was lying on the ground and said hello to her shamelessly, wanting to cover his face.

It's too shameful to lay a corpse in the street... I was too focused on the conversation just now and didn't notice what was going on below. Otherwise, it would be better to let the foggy dog ​​drop him off at home, so that he wouldn't have to embarrass himself in front of his beautiful sister...

…

In the distance, Mihua Art Theater.

Jiang Xia opened her eyes in her true body.

With a physical body carrying memories, he quickly "saw" what had happened before.

"..."

Jiang Xia glanced at the curtain railing that fell to the ground in the distance and smashed the stage into a deep pit. She thought that leaving Miyano Akemi to look after the house was indeed the right thing - this world, no matter how safe it seems, seems to be There will also be many fatal factors. Miyano Akemi's one-second invincible skill is most secure when bound to the main body.

But this time, it was of no use. There are many cheating teammates around, which saves a lot of murderous energy...

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