Conan's Corpse Picker

He turned to Terai: "Go home first."

He has to go to school tomorrow, and he hasn't started writing that group assignment yet, so he has to go back and do it overnight.While this stuff isn't difficult, it's a waste of time.

Wait, speaking of this, Koizumi Hongko is actually in his group... I hope Koizumi Hongko still has the strength to do her homework tonight, um, taking a step back, at least I hope she still has the strength to go to school tomorrow.

……

Koizumi Hongzi's special chocolate "you will fall in love with her when you eat it" has a delicate structure, but it is also made of magic power after all-in other words, it is made of energy cores. As long as you use a little force, it tastes no different from other energy cores. the difference.

The most critical elements have been turned into materials, so naturally it can no longer play a corresponding role.

So Jiang Xia was not affected by chocolate.

Koizumi Hongzi asked him to take Kidd away just now, Jiang Xia turned to look at Kidd, also wanted to show a hesitant attitude, so that Koizumi Hongzi could continue to release the magic power during his hesitation, and control the Kidd in the formation. De, let him squeeze a little longer...

However, I don't know whether Koizumi Hongzi is too tired or she has too much confidence in chocolate and Wutiangou. Jiang Xia found that Koizumi Hongzi dissipated the magic circle directly after he controlled the puppet to eat the chocolate.

... Just now, he looked like he was going to dry people with magic power, but now he wants to get off work?

Hand over the remaining magic power first.

Anyway, she looks very energetic... Thinking of this, Jiang Xia decisively carried Koizumi Hongzi up into the sky.

——When people face life-threatening or are frightened, they will instinctively survive and defend themselves.

Koizumi Hongzi still has great potential...

……

Koizumi Hongzi was looking forward to the bright future of "men all over the world surrender at her feet" one second, and was caught off guard in the next second.

The flustered feeling of not being able to keep her feet on the ground made her nervous subconsciously.At the same time, Koizumi Hongzi instinctively exploded with magic power, trying to use magic to float herself in the air, and bounced away the Kiritengu who was holding her.

Unfortunately, neither was successful.

Jiang Xia hugged her like nothing happened, and took away the magic power she poured out one by one.

However, the good press process did not last long.

——Koizumi Hongzi often floats in the sky at ordinary times.After the initial shock, she quickly calmed down, turned her head to look at the night sky around her, and then at Wutiangu who was holding her.

She has always been gifted in magic and has a lot of confidence in her magic.

Coupled with the incident of "successfully trapping Wutengu with magic" just now, Koizumi Hongzi thought slowly, the reason for the current situation may be that he didn't make it clear just now.

She then tugged on Jiang Xia's clothes, and proudly reiterated: "When I said 'take it back', I asked you to take Kidd away, not me."

When giving an order, it is inevitable to look someone directly in the eye.

Looking at each other, Koizumi Koko was stunned for a moment, her cheeks flushed faintly.The more I looked at it, the more I felt that I had made the right choice just now—as expected of a monster that existed in legends, but it was prettier than humans.

Speaking of which, I don't know where Tengu usually lives, and he hasn't been found and reported so far... Forget it, no matter where he lives, since he has eaten her chocolate now, he is her monster.I will ask the servant to find out if this monster has a place like a temple later. If so, I will move it into her castle in the outskirts...

In addition, thinking of this, Koizumi Hongzi felt that she already understood why Wutengu didn't obey to catch Kidd, but flew over to pick her up--the effect of chocolate is not to make the person who eats it obey the creator, but rather It is to make the user fall in love with the maker.

And everyone...or monsters should have a different understanding of love.Therefore, perhaps Wu Tiangou felt that taking her for a ride was more in line with expectations than obediently catching Kidd.

Well, that's right, it's reasonable, it's probably the case.Koizumi Hongzi nodded secretly.

... I can't tell, this good-looking monster is quite romantic, maybe he is a scumbag with a lot of experience.

It's really fun to go for a ride like this, but there is still work to do now, and she is the one who is loved, Wutengu's actions must be decided by her...

"what--!!!"

Koizumi Hongzi suddenly let out a scream.

The support of her back and leg bends suddenly disappeared—at a height of several thousand meters, Wu Tengu let go of her holding hand without warning, and Koizumi Hongzi fell instantly, surrounded by a sense of weightlessness.

She plummeted nearly a hundred meters before regaining her senses in a panic. She used magic power to slow down her landing speed, allowing herself to float in mid-air.

Just stopped, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his shoulders suddenly tightened.

Koizumi Hongzi was startled, then turned her head quickly, and saw a hand that was so pale that it seemed that it had never seen the light of day—the hand of Wu Tiangu on her shoulder.

In the next second, the magic power around her that allowed her to float suddenly disappeared.

Wutiangou also stopped flapping its wings, and the two lost power at the same time, falling straight to the ground.

Koizumi Hongzi: "???"

The sense of weightlessness struck again, and there was a buzzing in her head. Her first reaction was—falling from such a high place... she would definitely fall to her death!

The desire to survive made Koizumi Hongzi grit her teeth and use her magic power with all her strength.

However, although the operation of the magic power was not hindered, for some reason, it just couldn't achieve the effect of floating in the air.

Her face was pale, looking at the rapidly approaching ground below, remembering the tragic scene of her body being slapped flat on it, she closed her eyes in despair.

But soon, Koizumi Hongzi felt that Wutiangou hugged her, and the strength supporting her gradually became heavier.

Eventually, the two stopped their descent completely before crashing to the ground.

Koizumi Hongzi opened her eyes for the rest of her life, and saw Wutiangou flapping her wings and taking her up into the sky again.

"...?"

Koizumi Hongzi was stunned for a moment, and gradually realized that "Wu Tiangou loves her just in the wrong way" is not a wonderful thing, she struggled violently: "Let me go!"

Then, as she got farther and farther away from the ground, the voice of her request became smaller and smaller, and finally closed her mouth, silently clenched Wu Tengu's sleeve.

Koizumi Hongzi couldn't understand Wutengu's behavior for a while, but she didn't dare to let go of the girl's heart like before. She was silent for a moment, and asked cautiously: "What do you want to do!?"

Could it be that this monster saw the theory of "drawing bridge effect" somewhere, and wanted to manually increase her heartbeat?

This, this is different from her ideal "falling in love with her"!Obviously should kneel at her feet and become her captive, she dare not go west when she points east...

Wu Tiangou heard her question, glanced at her, did not answer, but continued to fly upwards.

Then when you reach the high point, let go again.

"……what--!!!"

……

After throwing it three or four times in a row.

Jiang Xia lowered her head to observe, and found that Koizumi Hongzi's eyes were empty, lost the highlight, and seemed to be in the shape of a salted fish with no desire to struggle.

Chapter 440 Standalone Puppet

Flying around with Koizumi Hongzi for a few laps, Jiang Xia sighed suddenly when no magic power was squeezed out.

This witch seems to have been squeezed to the limit.

However, today's harvest is rich enough...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia took Koizumi Hongzi down, planning to find a place to put her down, and come to her later when she recovers.

In the process of falling slowly, Koizumi Hongzi's ears twitched and heard the servant's magic message.

"Master Hongzi, I just found out the relevant legend about that tengu." There was a sound of flipping newspapers from the servant's side—after Koizumi Hongzi saw Wutengu just now, he was curious about this monster that he had never seen before, so The subpoena was sent to investigate, and the result was finally found out now.

The servant obviously didn't know anything about Koizumi Hongko's current situation. He read the newspaper intently, and helped Mrs. Witch examine the feasibility and difficulty of raising Wutengu at home:

"The legend of Wutengu has always been popular in the Banmaru Mountain area, but it really became famous two years ago-two years ago, in the Shanni Temple there, a young monk 'hanged himself'; a while ago , their abbot also 'hanged himself'.

"The place where these two hanged themselves was on the roof of the extremely high confinement room. No one knows how they climbed up without leaving a trace. It looked like someone took them to fly up. In addition, when the young monk died , A huge gap was knocked open on the wall of the confinement room... These characteristics are completely consistent with the cannibalism of the local 'foggy dog'."

"……eat human?"

...and it sounds like two people have died because of this?

Koizumi Hongzi's sluggish eyes moved slightly, her heart tightened, and a layer of goosebumps instinctively appeared on her arms, and it was difficult to maintain the state of lying dead for a while—although she had already experienced the shock when she was thrown around in mid-air. Impressive fear and exhaustion, but this kind of instinctive fear of weightlessness, and some kind of fear of thinking about it, are not exactly the same thing.

The servant heard the words Koizumi Hongzi repeated in a low voice, and responded:

"That's right. It is said that Wutiangu will sneak into the village like a fog in the middle of the night, smash through the walls, take away the food they want, and then hang the carcass of the prey on a high place for food-by the way, I heard that they like young people the most. beautiful girl.

"But you don't have to worry, Hongzi, your noble and pure magic power is enough to suppress this kind of monster.

"It's just that if you want to raise it, you must prepare a cage that is hard to break, lest he run out and endanger the surrounding residents. In addition, you may have to prepare human flesh as rations, but this is against the law, so..."

"..."

Koizumi Hongzi originally wanted to secretly ask the servant for help, but was blocked by the phrase "noble and pure magic power", and it was difficult to speak for a while.

When she finally finished struggling, she gritted her teeth and wanted to save her life, but Wu Tiangou glanced at her ear knowingly.

Immediately afterwards, Koizumi Hongzi found that she could no longer hear the noisy and unpleasant voice of the servant.

Her pupils shrunk—it didn't seem to be an illusion, this monster actually seemed to have a way to block her magic power!

...Why did the ancient books at home never record that there are living monsters in the world?Why no mention of this terrible natural enemy? ?

Koizumi Hongzi thought of the news brought by the servant just now, especially the words "human flesh" and "prey" in it, and then thought about her own situation, and felt uncontrollable fear.

At the same time, she also had a new understanding of how Wu Tiangou played with her just now.

——Since Wutiangou likes to hang the corpses of its prey on high places to eat.Just now, Wu Tiangou threw her from top to bottom, perhaps trying to aim and stab her to some very tall objects.

It's just because she always instinctively floats in the air with the help of magic power, which causes the trajectory to deviate. Wu Tiangou feels that the throw is not accurate, so he brings her up again dissatisfied, and throws it again...

...In this case, even if you can't use magic to float yourself away, at least try to change the direction of your fall.You can't just wait to die so willingly!

The unknown makes people fearful and dare not resist.

But once she figured out the other party's behavior pattern, Koizumi Hongzi's remaining desire to survive was squeezed out again.

She waited with bated breath for the next time Wutiangu threw her.This time, she will no longer maintain a floating state, but will only deflect herself a little for a short time.In this way, Wutiangou, who insisted on hanging the prey on the tree to eat, would not kill her immediately... In order to delay the time, the servant may find out that something is wrong and come to save her!

After having a rough countermeasure, Hongzi Koizumi gritted her teeth, forced herself to calm down, and was ready to be thrown in the next wave.

However, different from what she thought, Wutiangou didn't take her up into the sky again, but descended all the way, and finally came to the woods and landed on a tree that was not too low.

Koizumi Hongzi looked at the eerie tree with overgrown branches, and in his mind, the servant's science popularization just now kept echoing - Wutiangou likes to hang the corpses of its prey on high places for food...

high place...

Reserve to eat...

Scenes of the bloody fresh human flesh hanging on the tree and the tragic scene of her being cut open flashed through her mind. She rolled her eyes upwards, escaped from reality exhaustedly, and fell into a coma.

"..."

Jiang Xia landed on the tree and patted Koizumi Hongzi.
