Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 220 Cooperation, Yokai

   However, there is a generation gap, and there is a generation gap. After this brief but huge amount of information exchange, Kidd's previous image of the horrible foggy tengu in the mind of eating humans raw and drying the meat has changed vaguely.

  ... Morality aside, at least this is a youkai with ideas and principles.

   Kidd always felt that the foggy dog ​​was only robbing gems every time because he was useful, not killing people.

   And one day, he made it clear that he would no longer provide gems, and he would be approached by the foggy dog ​​and torn into pieces of dried phantom thieves.

  Although Kidd felt that he should not be afraid of the underworld forces, the threat of life hanging over his head still caused him to accumulate enormous pressure unconsciously.

   And now, I suddenly found out that the fog tengu is a kind and good monster...

   Kidd turned his head and glanced at the appearance of Misttengu quietly nibbling on gems.

   In a trance, there is a sense of seeing the neighbors drinking juice between classes.

  The world seems to have become peaceful.

  Kid thoughtful, he looked at the gem: "These things can be restored later, right?"

   He heard that the dark star of the Suzuki family had regained some luster. This quality decline after being sucked by monsters does not seem to be permanent.

  The foggy tengu nodded: "It will grow out after a while, you can steal it later."

   Kidd: "..."

  No, he doesn't really want to steal repetitions.

While    Kidd fell into silence, Jiang Xia's attention quickly turned away.

  ——He noticed that several cars were coming in secret.

  Although it wasn't a police car, the one inside was probably a policeman who came after the signal transmitter on the jewel—he saw the Nakamori Police Department.

   Jiang Xia lowered his head and shook the sapphire in his hand, and found that there was no energy left in it, so he threw the dried gem to Kidd.

   The phantom thief knows better than him how to return the gem without leaving a trace.

After   , Jiang Xia identified the direction, flapped his wings and flew away.

  The energy core has been consumed, it's time to deal with murderous energy and subsidize the household.

  ——On the roof just now, the leading man in black really wanted to get rid of Kidd, and there was some murderous aura around him.

   And as a villain with a name, Slack's murderous aura is not thin.

  Jiang Xia did a simple calculation and found that if he drove the puppet over to smash that person for a meal, to remove the murderous aura of the puppet itself, he would still have to earn.

   So before on the rooftop, when Jiang Xia dragged Kidd and the energy core away, he also lost a ghost and let it follow Slack for easy positioning.

   I used too much murderous aura on Mermaid Island the other day. Burning the murderous aura was good for a while, but after seeing the rapidly decreasing ghost mint, it was very uncomfortable.

   is just catching up to replenish the stock.

  …

   Kidd's night vision ability, although not comparable to Jiang Xia's puppet, but he also sensed the approach of the police.

   He took the gem that Wutengu returned to him and walked away quickly. Found Terai who was nearby to meet him.

   Terai Huangnosuke was once an assistant to Kidd's father, Kuroba Rouichi.

   Now, as soon as the black feather thief was "killed", Terai became the current Kid's assistant again.

   Terai stepped on the accelerator and drove away quickly, while looking at the dull gem in Kidd's hand unsurprisingly, he sighed in his heart.

   - Now every time Kidd moves, he will let Kidd bring the locator.

  In this way, when Kidd was robbed by the foggy dog ​​and was casually thrown into a corner, he would be able to rush over to meet him as soon as possible...

   After Kidd got into the car, he took out a locator with a serious expression and showed Terai the moving coordinates: "Go here."

   Kidd was dragged from the roof by the foggy dog ​​just now, and when he flew somewhere nearby, he saw a few black vehicles lined up neatly below.

   According to Kidd's intuition, these cars may belong to the group of men in black who are trying to silence him.

So at that time, Kidd shot out a black technology locator - although the group of men in black with guns was dangerous, but they seemed to know a lot of things related to the Black Feather Pirates, Kidd didn't want to let go of this anyway. kind of information.

   Now, judging from the moving signal points on the locator, he was lucky enough to get the transmitter on the roof of the car.

   Hope this trip will be fruitful...

  …

   Terai Huang Nosuke is already an old grandfather in age, but when he gets up, the speed of the car is the same as before.

   He quickly took a detour to catch up with the car of the people in black, and secretly fell behind.

   The convoy of men in black drove towards the mountains. Finally, we stopped outside a quaint courtyard surrounded by trees and a small stream flowing on the side.

   A group of people in black got out of the car one after another, looking like they were going to enter the courtyard.

   Terai also stopped the car at a distance.

  In the night between the forests, the mountain wind is too strong, and the water flow of the stream, these noises cover up the engine sound of the vehicle very well, and they are not too far from the convoy of the men in black.

   Kidra opened the door and was about to get out of the car, when he suddenly felt a shadow pass over the sky ahead.

   One old and one young raised their heads suspiciously, just in time to see the Wutiangu flying silently over the man in black and dropping something.

   In the next second, a cloud of smoke suddenly rose up around the people in black, enveloping them all.

   Terai Huangzhisuke was stunned for a while, and when he looked at the smoke from a distance, he felt more familiar: "Master, this is..."

   Kidd was also stunned for a moment and remembered: "It was taken from my pocket when it was dragging me to fly just now. I thought..."

  ...I thought that the fog tengu was interested in the smoke bomb + anesthesia bomb that looks like a round gem, and wanted to bring some back and decorate the nest.

   This is not a big deal, plus the information about the Shanni Temple disclosed by Wutiangou later, Kidd forgot about it.

   Now it seems... the foggy dog ​​came prepared?

  …

  Jiang Xia finished throwing the smoke bomb and anesthesia bomb, and hovered over the smoke to observe.

   Then he swooped, approached the edge of the smoke from behind, and ran out of Slack holding his breath—he put a black cloth pocket on Slack's head, and flew into the woods with the struggling man in black.

   Terai Huangnosuke watched this scene from a distance, his face changed slightly.

He still remembered the "habits of foggy dogs" that he had checked before - I heard that this kind of monster likes to rob humans, and then hang them on trees as food storage... He thought about the scene of the human flesh feast, and there was a white background behind him. Sweaty, he turned his head and wanted to drive the car away.

   However, just as he put down the handbrake, Kidd suddenly pushed open the car door next to him, left a sentence "I'll go take a look!", and then quickly ran into the woods.

  …

   Kidd's face was solemn - didn't the fog tengu say that as long as there are gems, it will not eat people?

   Could that monster lie?

  ...In this world, if there is no trust between people, even monsters can't be trusted?
