Conan's Corpse Picker

However, people are unreliable, but the hypnotic gas is still spreading upwards at a leisurely pace, soon enveloping Kidd.

The gas that was inadvertently inhaled just now also began to take effect, Kidd's eyelids gradually drooped, his hand supporting the ceiling slipped, and half of his body fell down...

Then he was slapped back to the original place by a wing.

Kidd was startled by the sudden sense of falling, and was briefly sober.

He supported the ceiling again, turned his head to look sideways, and met a pair of dark golden eyes.

At night, the pitch-black ceiling, the human eyes popping out of the side... Kidd first clenched his fingers, and instinctively got goosebumps, and then suddenly reacted—foggy dog!

As expected, Brother Yokai has been waiting to be robbed... Thinking of this, Kidd was pleasantly surprised, but his mood suddenly became a little complicated.

But now, it seems that it is not the time to think about the pros and cons of being targeted by monsters - Wutiangou sat on the pendant hanging from the ceiling, silently raised a hand, put his bony index finger and thumb together, and gestured towards him A fairly standard circle.

Kidd: "..."

When most people make this gesture, they should be referring to money.

However, the words of Wutiangu...

Kidd bit the tip of his tongue, trying his best to stay awake under the hypnotic gas.

Then he propped himself up with one hand, and reached into his pocket with the other hand, took out the red gem that he had just got, before he had time to check whether there was "Pandora" in it, and handed it over with a bit of heartache.

Although he didn't want to give it very much, but if Wu Tiangou hadn't stretched out his wings just now, he should have fallen headlong into the police pile.

In addition, in the current situation, he has to use his hands and feet to support the ceiling, so he has no ability to stop possible robberies.Wu Tiangou didn't reach out to take it directly, but asked him first, it was already very polite, and he couldn't help but appreciate it...

Jiang Xia lowered her head and looked at the gemstone with red light that Kidd handed over: "..."

Robbery can be robbed at any time, and he is not in a hurry, so the gesture he made just now was actually just to let Kidd sprinkle some more ball smoke bombs, so that it would be easier to leave-the one he threw just now has been dispersed.

But now, Kidd gave it away...

Jiang Xia took the gem reservedly and threw it into the puppet's mouth.

Then while extracting the energy core inside, he flipped through Kidd's pocket, grabbed a handful of smoke bombs and threw them out.

There was a crisp smashing sound, and thick smoke billowed from bottom to top, quickly enveloping the police.

Taking advantage of their vision being blocked, Jiang Xia picked up Kidd, who was yawning one after another, and flew out towards the window he had just watched.

Then, before being seen by the police cars lurking around, it flew out half a street against the wall and fell into a dark alley on the side.

Chapter 431 The Curse From Hongzi Koizumi

After leaving the environment full of hypnotic gas, and being blown by the refreshing night wind outside, Kidd's almost closed eyes struggled to open.

He first glanced around vigilantly, but he didn't see the police who were chasing him. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, stood against the wall, and looked at Wu Tiangou.

Wu Tiangou reached into his sleeve and touched it, took out a ruby ​​with dull luster, and threw it back to him—it was the "Red Ghost" that Kidd made an offering just now, and he didn't know when he finished eating it.

Kidd deftly caught the discarded bento box-like jewel.

He looked at the stone like a broken flower and willow for a while, hesitated for a moment, then silently raised the gem, and took a look at the huge full moon in the sky.

This is the way to judge whether there is "Pandora" in the gem - according to what Kidd heard from the organization code-named animal, "Pandora" is a legendary "stone of life", which contains The secret of immortality.

"Pandora" usually hides inside other gems, and the identification method is to point the gems at the moon.If there is really "Pandora" hidden in it, then Pandora will glow red under the moon's illumination.

...theoretically it should be like this.

However, this time, Kidd looked left and right at the gemstone in his hand, but he was still unable to determine whether there was Pandora in it.

—he didn't see a strange light inside.

But considering that this is the gemstone that Wutiangou gnawed after all, maybe there was "Pandora" originally, but it was eaten by Wutiangou as a snack just now...

Kidd himself had little interest in Pandora.But the "death" of his father, Black Feather Pirates, and the mysterious organization seem to be related to this legendary gem, and Kidd really wants to know the truth.

He put down his hand holding the gem to examine it, hesitated for a moment, and planned to ask Wu Tiangou if there was any abnormal taste in the gem today, such as particularly delicious, or a bit toothache... In order to judge whether there is "Pandora" in this gem.If there is, he can trace the source of the gem.

But just when he had finished his words, before he could open his mouth to ask, Wu Tiangou suddenly turned his head slightly.

The pair of dark golden vertical pupils that were unusually conspicuous in the night zoomed slightly, and his gaze fell to a certain point in the void, as if he saw something that interested him very much.

Kidd was startled, and looked along, but saw nothing. In his eyes, Wutiangou was just staring at a piece of ordinary air.

...is there something in there invisible to humans?

Just as this thought flashed across his mind, a sharp stabbing pain suddenly penetrated his heart.The sudden pain was sharp and specific, like an invisible steel rod passing through the heart.

The severe pain made Kidd's head buzz, he let out a muffled groan, raised his hand to cover his heart, staggered and knelt down on the ground.

The hand felt hot and greasy to the touch, Kidd reluctantly opened the palm, and glanced at the palm, and saw that the white glove that was trembling slightly due to the pain had already been stained with glaring blood.

He was at a loss: ... What's going on?

Wu Tiangou also seemed to be startled by the movement of him kneeling on the ground, his eyes moved back from the void, and looked at him thoughtfully.

Jiang Xia sized up the strange thief who had been raided, and then looked at the illusory black line connecting Kidd and the distance.

After a while, he tentatively raised his hand and grabbed it.

——Just now, Jiang Xia suddenly felt an extremely attractive energy flowing along the black line.

In the space where he was tangling whether to observe cautiously or intercept it directly, the breath quickly poured into Kidd's body, and then disappeared without a trace when Kidd fell to the ground with a muffled groan.

...The energy came quickly, and it didn't come quickly, and Jiang Xia didn't have time to study it carefully.

But Jiang Xia recalled the feeling just now - in the rushing energy, it seemed that there was an extremely pure energy core breath.Although the quantity is less, the quality is not inferior to those gems stolen by Kidd.

For ghost fetuses, the energy core is an excellent tonic.

——Although ghost embryos are the pillars of puppets, Jiangxia's ghosts can't independently control the actions of puppets. This is precisely because they are still relatively weak at this stage. go do something else.

And if the energy core is enough and strengthened to a sufficient degree, Jiang Xia will not have to go into battle to activate the puppets every time, but will have some conscious and active puppets.

and so……

Why do energy cores suddenly flow over?

Jiang Xia looked down at Kidd holding the pain in his heart, opened and closed his wings behind him, and fanned the cold sweating event physique thief casually, and at the same time had a vague guess.

——This must be related to that witch classmate of Kidd.

Kidd's appearance just now seemed to have been attacked by some kind of magical means.The thing rushing along the black line just now should be the cause of the damage to Kidd, that is, the magic power of the witch.

It can be seen from this that the magic power of this world seems to be used as an energy core?

The ghosts didn't expect the food to be delivered suddenly by this ordinary and illusory black thread. After a moment of sluggishness, they swooped and hung on Kidd's body, trying to pull out the energy core that had been submerged in Kidd's body just now.

Unfortunately, that magical power disappeared silently after causing some flesh injuries to Kidd.

Looking at the illusory black thread that had returned to its original state, Jiang Xia was also a little disappointed.

But soon, he calmed down again.

…After attacking Kidd, this illusory black thread did not disappear.

That is to say, Hongzi Koizumi probably has another purpose.The attack just now was probably just a pre-dinner dessert, and there must be a main meal later.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Xia wrapped the Void Black Line twice around his hand to borrow strength, then tentatively held Kidd down and pulled hard.

There was a light bang that ordinary people could not hear.

The illusory black thread adhering to Kidd's body was forcibly ripped off.

—It turned out to be a success.

Jiang Xia's eyes lit up indistinctly, he pinched the vacant end of the imaginary black thread, pressed it on his hand, and waited expectantly for it to change hands.

However, the black line seems to have a positioning function—maybe it found that the attachment target is not right, it quickly slipped away from Jiang Xia's hand, and stretched its head towards Kidd, trying to continue to cling to him.

Jiang Xia: "..."

He stared blankly for a while, and when the black thread was about to touch Kidd, he pulled it back, wrapped it around his wrist, and tied it tightly.

The imaginary black thread paused for a moment, and the top slowly bent back, as if observing the knot in a daze.

After a few seconds, it began to squirm slowly, as if trying to untie itself, but the results were slow.

Jiang Xia looked at it silently: This method of stealing the curse seems to be really effective.

So he pulled over the thread and quickly tied countless dead knots again.

Don't worry about not being able to untie it - if the follow-up black line is useless, he can just disperse the puppet and re-condense it.

Chapter 432 Forming a Group to Find the Witch

Following Jiang Xia's successful abduction to the line of curse.Next to him, Kidd also recovered from the severe pain that pierced his heart.

He leaned on the cold building wall to get up reluctantly, seeing Wu Tiangou struggling with something he couldn't see, combined with the sudden pain he felt just now, he hesitated: "...what happened?"

Wutiangou didn't answer.He fiddled with his wrist intently, as if he was tied to it by some invisible rope that was constantly struggling.

After a while, the ancient mythical monster stopped moving, looked at his hand in the moonlight, and said calmly: "You seem to be cursed by a magician."

"...magician? Curse?"

Kidd was stunned, and suddenly remembered the recording about "magic" he heard not long ago, and his assistant Terai Konosuke reminded him to be careful about magicians-it is said that some magicians think that magic is not good on stage, And because of this, he hates magicians like Kidd.

For Kidd at present, "magician" is just a very vague concept that has just been heard.

He never expected that the moment he heard this new word on his front foot, he would be targeted by the magician on his back foot.

Thinking about it, Kidd couldn't help pressing his blood-stained chest again, and a fine layer of cold sweat emerged from his body.

He was injured at such a deadly place in his heart, but he didn't realize who moved his hands and feet, how he sat there, and he didn't know how to stop it... Fortunately, today was the day when he was robbed by the Wutian dog, and Brother Yaokai seemed to be interested in these things. I know a lot about metaphysics, otherwise...

When Kidd thought of the scene where he was almost taken away by the police just now, and the severe pain that went deep into his bone marrow, he couldn't help feeling a little scared:

"It's actually able to curse people silently... No wonder I've been out of shape tonight, and I was so careless that I ignored the hypnotic gas injection device hidden on the display case."

Wu Tiangou glanced at him: "That's your own problem, the curse was just launched."

Kidd: "..."

The air was quiet for a few seconds.

After a while, Kidd pressed the top hat on his head as if nothing happened, and switched the subject seamlessly: "Can you find the hiding place of the magician? I think I should talk to him and ask him why he wants to... ..."

Before the words fell, Kidd suddenly felt something.
