Chapter 735 Witch Gathering
After bidding farewell to the Mori family, Qin Zhibo returned to Tokyo from Yokohama in his Mustang convertible.

As soon as he stepped into the office, a strong sense of exhaustion rushed into Qin Zhibo's body.

He didn't sleep much in the hospital last night, and drove for half an hour after waking up in the morning. Now Qin Zhibo just wants to have a good rest.

After watching the morning news, he ate some takeaway breakfast. After washing up, Toru Amuro came to work.

"Xiao An, I'm a little tired today, I'm going to bed first."

After exhorting, Qin Zhibo was too lazy to say a word, and went upstairs to sleep first.

"is teacher."

"Go and rest at ease, and leave the office to me."

Looking at Qin Zhibo's exhausted figure, the corners of Toru Amuro's mouth, who had been so sunny last second, slightly raised a black-bellied angle.

Toru Amuro could probably guess what Qin Zhibo did yesterday.

The night before yesterday, I quietly rescued Kinoshita Tomosei from the Tomoshen Forest. This guy must be insane, right?

The person who was organized to be silenced disappeared. Qin Zhibo, as the person directly in charge of this matter, must see the person alive and the dead body, and dig three feet to find him.

This case has alarmed the local police in Gunma County, and now the police are also looking for Kinoshita Tomonoria's whereabouts.

With the style of a black organization, although they will not openly search for people in the same forest as the police, they can monitor the police channel, wait for the police to find someone, and then snipe and kill them on the way.

Of course, this is only the imagination of the black organization.

The real situation is that people have been protected by themselves, and the search operation of the Gunma police has also been temporarily stopped under Kazami's instructions.

In this way, Qin Zhibo didn't need to sit in the town in person, and he was afraid that leaving for too long would attract suspicion, so he could only return to the office.

Everything is going in the direction Toru Amuro expected.

It's just that Toru Amuro still has a lot of things he doesn't understand about this incident.

For example: What kind of website is "Curse of the Dead"? Is it a murder commission website of a black organization?
Although the "Curse of the Dead" website has been shut down, the technical department of the public security has still intercepted some data packets and is analyzing them urgently.

According to the technical analysts of the police, the people who designed this website are by no means ordinary people.

The other party had imagined the possibility that the website might be detected by technical means in advance, and created a corresponding anti-reconnaissance mechanism, as well as an overseas server that could not track the specific address.

Secondly, what exactly Kinoshita Tomo experienced in the Toujin Forest.

Amuro Toru also read the case notice issued by the Gunma Police, but Amuro Toru is more willing to believe that it was the result of being framed by the organization.

To make Kinoshita a criminal, even if he is caught by the police, he can't justify it.

Or from the very beginning, Kinoshita Tomonoria has been caught in a certain big net carefully arranged by the organization.

What kind of "net" this is, just wait for Tomono Kinoshita to explain.

Before that, Amuro decided to give Kinoshita Tomosori a period of adaptation, let him let down his vigilance first, and then explain what he knows.

During this time, Kazami Yuya was solely responsible for taking care of Kinoshita Tomonoria's life.

It is said to take care of life, but it is actually monitoring and protection, somewhat similar to the "witness protection plan".

Since we have to be wary of organized people within the public security this time, Toru Amuro cannot send any additional manpower to Yuya Kazami.

And even after the problem is clarified, Kinoshita Tomounori's safety must be ensured.

So Toru Amuro took advantage of yesterday's break time to find a secluded high-end apartment, and asked Kazami to transfer people there first.

Apartments are not as crowded as hotels, and in the long run, they are safer.

But no matter what, Toru Amuro thought that he had achieved a staged victory against the subordinates of the organization's boss.

Sleep till noon.

When Qin Zhibo got up, the clock on the wall was already past 4 pm.

Stretching his back by the bed, Qin Zhibo came to the office on the second floor with his messy hairstyle.

Toru Amuro had left work on time, and the empty office was cleaned up.

On the desk by the window, a small stack of banknotes was neatly arranged.

This is Toru Amuro's turnover today. Qin Zhibo clicked it, and it happened to be 2 yen.

Feeling at ease, he put the banknotes in his pocket, and Qin Zhibo went to the toilet to wash his face, turn on the water, and wash his hair.

Japanese high school girls at this time have already left school without participating in club activities.

And Hongzi Koizumi happens to belong to the kind who doesn't join any clubs.

After tidying up his appearance, Qin Zhibo went downstairs and drove straight to the Witch's House in a Mustang convertible.

Strictly speaking, the Witch's House is just a villa in the forest on the outskirts of Tokyo.

Qin Zhibo unilaterally called it the "Witch's House" because there lived a proud witch lady.

Qin Zhibo drove to the Witch's House, and as soon as he parked the car at the door, the housekeeper opened the door of the villa.

"Welcome, Mr. Qin."

The butler bowed slightly, he was used to Qin Zhibo's arrival.

Qin Zhibo also nodded, and immediately went in to find Hongzi Koizumi.

As expected, Hongko Koizumi was not doing homework after school, but was studying magic in the magic chamber.

According to Koizumi Hongzi, magic is also a very profound and profound knowledge, even if you are talented, you have to study hard.

In fact, what Koizumi Hongzi said was more for Qin Zhibo, implying that Qin Zhibo didn't study magic well and ran around.

"What are you doing here again?"

Wearing a red robe, Koizumi Hongzi looked at the thousand-page magic book on the bookshelf, and added materials according to the instructions in the book.

"Actually, this time it was someone next to me who was haunted by a nightmare"

Qin Zhibo naturally came here for Mao Lilan's affairs, "You also know this person, Mao Lilan."

The thing that looked like a withered gecko tail in Koizumi Hongko's hand paused for a moment above the huge cauldron, and she answered after two seconds.

"So it's Nakamori No. [-]."

"But does it have anything to do with me?"

After Koizumi Hongzi answered, she let go and threw the gecko's tail into the cauldron, as if nothing happened.

When Koizumi Hongzi asked such a question, Qin Zhibo was also a little stunned, not knowing how to answer.

Theoretically speaking, Koizumi Hongzi really has no obligation to help this favor.

The previous help was based on the cooperative relationship between Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi, and Koizumi Hongzi helped Qin Zhibo.

But this time, the person who helped Koizumi was just a double-faced person to Koizumi Hongzi.

Especially when it involves the king in yellow, if it is not handled well, it will be more dangerous to anyone.

But now the only one who has the ability to help Mao Lilan is Koizumi Hongzi, Qin Zhibo still wants to try to persuade him.

"This time Mao Lilan's problem is very difficult, and there is nothing I can do about it."

"But if it is the heir of the Red Magic family, there must be a solution."

When Qin Zhibo said this, Koizumi Hongzi who was standing on the wooden ladder was slightly moved.

After putting the last material into the crucible, Hongzi Koizumi breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked down the ladder.

"Forget it, I can help that Nakamori No. [-]."

"But after I get rid of the nightmare on her body, you have to concentrate on learning magic with me, and you are not allowed to skip classes at will."

Koizumi Hongzi has not forgotten the plan to train Qin Zhibo into a "great magician".

It's just that after Qin Zhibo learned some basic magic spells, he never came to class again, which made Koizumi Hongzi, who was concerned about the family revival plan, very headache.

As for helping Mao Lilan, Koizumi Hongzi doesn't hate Mao Lilan, but he can't be called a friend either.

In the witch's world, friends are as undesirable as lovers, because they are all existences that can make the witch shed tears.

In addition, Koizumi Hongzi herself has to prepare for the witch's adult test.

Only by passing the exam can one officially become the head of the Red Magic Clan.

Ever since Hongzi's mother disappeared, the Red Magic Clan has been without a leader for many years.

The leaderless situation has caused the Red Magic to have the lowest right to speak in the witch gathering, even on the verge of being excluded.

So this exam is very important to Hongzi Koizumi, and she prepares with all her strength every day.

If it is not something she thinks is worthwhile, she will definitely not be distracted.

Of course, worthwhile distractions include capturing Kaitou Kid's heart.

"Okay, let's talk about the specific situation."

Under Koizumi Hongzi's questioning, Qin Zhibo told Mao Lilan that she was being troubled by a nightmare.

"This kind of nightmare is very powerful and is called the 'King in Yellow'. I suggest you not to come into contact with it lightly."

"What do you want?"

Although he wanted to save Mao Lilan, Qin Zhibo didn't want to endanger Koizumi Hongzi's safety.

So Qin Zhibo wanted to hear Koizumi Hongzi's plan first.

"Um--"

Koizumi Hongzi pondered, and said slowly: "Although I haven't heard of the 'King in Yellow', I can first use the crystal ball passed down from generation to generation by the Red Magic family for divination."

"Divination?"

Qin Zhibo was a little puzzled, "Then do we still need to bring people here?"

Koizumi Hongzi smiled slightly, and said to herself: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, as long as it is someone I have met with my own eyes, I can remotely divination the fate of the other party with a crystal ball."

"This is the strength of a witch~"

Saying that, Koizumi Hongzi came to the pedestal where the crystal ball was placed.

This crystal ball is still alive, it's all because Qin Zhibo didn't call the police to arrest Koizumi Hongzi who is an accomplice of the strange thief.

The first time Qin Zhibo caught Koizumi Hongzi's handle was because of the revenge of the crystal ball, he made up a future scene for Koizumi Hongzi.

As for the reason for the crystal ball's revenge, it was because the spirit body in the ball originally lived in a dressing mirror, which was called the "magic mirror".

A fortune-telling error, Koizumi Hongzi smashed the magic mirror in a rage, and the big villa with a swimming pool was replaced by a small dwelling.

Anyone who puts this on will be angry.

"Wise crystal ball~"

"Through your crystal surface, reveal the fate of Mao Lilan for me!"

Koizumi Hongzi covered the crystal ball with both hands, spread her slender fingers, and read out the question with a nagging expression.

After asking the question, Koizumi Hongzi, Qin Zhibo, and the butler standing silently behind were all waiting for an answer.

However, the crystal ball was silent.

silent
silent
After half a minute, Koizumi Hongzi finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Hey! What did you see!"

"say something!"

In fact, there is no need for any sense of ritual to communicate with the crystal ball, just ask.

It's just that Koizumi Hongzi will pay attention to the sense of ritual in front of outsiders, so as to show her ability.

Koizumi Hongzi's scolding sound fell, and the crystal ball suddenly made a high-pitched sound.

"Too dangerous!"

Koizumi Hongzi was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "What danger?"

The crystal ball continued to answer with a sharp voice, "The existence that troubles that girl is too dangerous!"

"Master Hongzi, for your safety, let's leave this matter alone."

"If you are not careful, even your life will be in danger!"

The warning from the crystal ball is very clear.

Although the crystal ball sometimes has a small temper and cheated its owner, but before meeting a more suitable owner, the crystal ball and the owner are a community of destiny.

A crystal ball without magic power will gradually lose its spirituality and become a mortal thing.

But being warned by the crystal ball, Hongzi Koizumi became even more curious.

"What is that 'King in Yellow'?"

The shrill voice of the crystal ball trembled a little, "Master Hongzi, you won't think clearly about his origin."

"If you insist on understanding, I can only say that it is the ruler that existed before countless suns were born."

"No familiar is as powerful as it, not even the demon Lucifer."

"If you insist, the God of the Sabbat of Witches may be able to compete with it."

"But they have no reason"

The words of the crystal ball stopped abruptly, as if touching some taboo, he suddenly stopped talking.

Koizumi Hongzi and the butler were both shocked by the words of the crystal ball, knowing the weight of it.

Lucifer is the strongest familiar that Koizumi Hongko can channel.

Of course, this Lucifer has nothing to do with the fallen angels in Western sects, it's just the same name.

But even so, Koizumi Hongzi's magic power can only channel Lucifer's voice, and the main body is even out of the question.

Not even Lucifer
Koizumi Hongzi looked a little surprised, but Qin Zhibo had already thought of this possibility.

Regardless of the messed up Lucifer, the God of the Sabbat
"What is this God of the Sabbat?"

Koizumi Hongzi didn't answer right away, but the butler standing behind replied gloomyly: "The God of the Sabbat is the god that all witches worship together, and he is also the god who bestowed magic on the first witch."

Qin Zhibo nodded, he understood.

At this moment, Hongzi Koizumi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you much this time."

"The God of the Sabbat consists of at least two hundred witches. The gods who hold a ceremony together can make them appear. I can't do it with my ability."

What Koizumi Hongzi said is true.

Others, she has only heard that there is such a god that all witches admire, but she has never seen it.

Legend has it that the God of the Sabbat imparted magical revelations to different witches.

Based on these revelations, witches established different clans of witches, black magic, white magic, blue magic, red magic and so on.

When all the witches gather together, it is called the "Witch Gathering".

Only the Witch Gathering has the ability to summon the God of the Witch Sabbat.
