Conan's Corpse Picker

He was holding the tray, picked up the tongs, and planned to pick up a lobster.

At this time, someone suddenly grabbed her shoulders from behind.

Hui Yuanai was startled, and turned her head quickly.

Seeing the people behind, she breathed a sigh of relief: "What's wrong?"

"I'm not feeling well, accompany me to the lounge next to me for a while." Jiang Xia is very skillful in asking for sick leave, and this kind of excuse is always handy.

Time was running out, he didn't give Hui Yuanai time to hesitate, he reached out and took the plate and clips from the dummy child's hands, wiped off his fingerprints, and handed them to the passing waiter.

Hui Yuanai vaguely sensed something was wrong.

She followed Jiang Xia and walked quickly to the lounge.At the same time, he secretly looked around nervously.

——She knew that Jiang Xia had connections with the organization, and sometimes even participated in some missions.

In the past, Jiang Xia also reminded her many times that "there are organized members around".

But this time, even though Jiang Xia didn't say it clearly, the reason for calling her away suddenly might be the same.

……

Sure enough, the two of them entered the corridor.

Hui Yuanai heard Jiang Xia ask: "You brought the quick-acting hair dye that Dr. has, please dye it first."

——Since Hui Yuan Ai had exposed her whereabouts at Gin because of her special wine-red hair.Blaming herself, she tried many remedies.

This also includes changing hairstyles and hair colors.

But often when I wake up from sleep, the hairstyle is what it was at first, and it is still the same after waking up, and it has no effect.

……

Fortunately, later, the miraculous Dr. Li developed a quick-acting hair dye.It can change the hair color in a short time, and the effect is better when combined with the hood.

When Hui Yuanai heard Jiang Xia mention the hair dye, she became more nervous, and even felt that she smelled the terrible smell of gin.

Fortunately, this corridor is relatively closed, and there are no suspicious people on either side.There was Jiang Xia standing beside him, which made Hui Yuanai calm down a little.

"Bring it." She rummaged through her pockets in a hurry, found a small spray bottle, and sprayed it on her hair.

Jiang Xia seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, and whispered when she was busy pretending: "Don't be nervous, if there is no accident, no one will come in. It's just that they happen to be nearby."

"Yeah." Hui Yuanai, while carefully tossing her hair, followed Jiang Xia into the most remote resting room.

……

As soon as he entered, Jiang Xia locked the door with a click.

Then he went to the window, which was also locked.

Hui Yuanai had finished dyeing her hair at this time, she walked to Jiang Xia's side with small steps, and helped him close the curtains.

Jiang Xia: "..." Really conscious.

He fumbled in his pocket, and handed what he took out to Hui Yuanai.

Hui Yuanai took it in a daze, and after a closer look, he found that it was five packs of cigarettes that had not been opened.

Holding those exquisitely packaged small boxes, she was a little puzzled: "...?"

Why do you have to carry so many cigarettes with you?

Jiang Xia is so addicted to smoking?

not like...

……

"Come here."

Jiang Xia walked to the door of the bedroom.

This lounge is a suite.

In addition to the living room where they are now, there is a small bedroom inside.

After Hui Yuanai approached, Jiang Xia put the ashtray beside her.

Then he took out a pack of cigarettes that had already been opened, knocked out one of them and lit it.

He put the lit cigarette on the ashtray.

The rest is still handed over to Hui Yuanai:

"You will wait at the door of the bedroom later, and when the cigarette is out, light another cigarette, keep on going, don't stop... well, but don't smoke too much, save a little. I'll go in and sleep for a while.

"—By the way, if there is a sudden power failure or other abnormalities, remember to stay where you are and don't move around."

……

According to Jiang Xia's estimation, if all goes well, he can get his ghost out without murderous intent.

However, thinking of those vaguely sensed "jellyfish skin fragments"...

He felt that to be on the safe side, it was best to leave an artificial murderous energy supply machine outside.

Hui Yuan Ai should be able to do such a simple job well - after all, she is also the only sister of the victim, and her IQ is above the line.

Moreover, judging from the situation just now, it is safer to leave a real person in charge of lighting the Ghost Mint than to leave a ghost puppet.

——If the ghosts left alone are taken away, not only will one ghost be missing, but it may also cause a fire because of cigarette butts falling on the carpet.

In addition, the murderous aura that has entered the tattoo space has the aura of a psychic.

Unless the psychic medium consciously uses it to feed the wild ghosts outside, the ignited murderous mist can only be absorbed by the psychic medium and the ghosts he signs.

Will not suddenly suck the enemy indiscriminately.

And without the bonus of murderous aura, it is difficult for the soul to shake the real world—even for a ghost as gifted as a mermaid, when he grabbed a person with all his claws, it seemed at best to be scratching an itch.

Those jellyfish skins just now can't even blow away his non-original soul.It is impossible to shake an original real person like Hui Yuanai...

Human helpers are still useful, after all.The anonymous peripheral members who were randomly collected were actually used for purposes other than "cooking"...

Chapter 922 Noah: Grab Jiang Xia to suppress the shock

Hui Yuan mourned the cigarettes and lighters that Jiang Xia gave, and nervously stacked them on the ground while listening to Jiang Xia's words seriously.

Relying on the intelligence of a top scientist, she memorized those instructions verbatim.

In addition, Hui Yuan Ai keenly discovered that Jiang Xia spoke faster than usual.So she immediately realized—although she couldn't tell from Jiang Xia's expression, the matter might be more urgent... Although she didn't quite understand the purpose and intention of Jiang Xia's actions, Hui Yuanai suppressed her doubts and decided to do it first Let's talk.

……

After listening to it again, when you recover and digest it.

Just trying to ask a question.

The bedroom door slammed shut in front of her. .

——Jiang Xia entered the house and left her in the living room of the lounge.Hearing the sound, the door was locked.

Hui Yuanai held the lighter: "...?"

It took a few seconds for her to recover from the closed door, and belatedly remembered the excuse of "being unwell" that Jiang Xia used to ask her to come over just now.

"..." It was unclear whether this was a real excuse or something real.

Huihara Ai looked down at the burning smoke on the ashtray, and picked it up.

Then he couldn't help but lean close to the cold bedroom door, and asked in a low voice, "Is it true that you don't need to go to the hospital?"

No one answered.

"..." Huiyuan sighed.

Although not at ease.But thinking of Jiang Xia's instructions just now, and Jiang Xia's reliability in the past, she didn't say anything more.

……

Hui Yuanai sat down next to the ashtray with his knees folded, holding the lighted cigarette, guarding it like a bonfire.

At the same time watching its smoke flow through the crack of the door and into the bedroom

After watching for a while, the question that was barely suppressed just now came up silently.

"..." What exactly is this "smoke" and why is it always lit?

In the past, when Jiang Xia was sucking ghost mint, Hui Yuanai accidentally followed her to smoke second-hand ones.Did not feel any addiction.

Now hold it in your hand and sniff it up close.She still felt that this cool but soft breath was not like some dangerous drugs.

After smelling it for a while, it seemed to be a little more awake than usual, and I don't know if it was an illusion.Seems to have some mental benefits.

In addition...

Haibara looked suspiciously at the bright cigarette butt.

——At first, she thought that she needed to take a puff from time to time so that the smoke could burn steadily and not go out.

But now it seems that even without artificial wind to support the combustion, Jiangxia's magical "smoke" is still burning steadily.

Hui Yuanai: "..." This really isn't tobacco.But other more flammable materials.

Healthier than tobacco in terms of smoke, smell, and all…

"……"Um?

Hui Yuanai suddenly thought: Could it be that a year ago, after Jiang Xia was discharged from the hospital, her mental state has been so stable, and she has been refusing to accept her supplements, in fact, it is not because she hates her medicines, but because of this better "smoke" to help ease?

Thinking of this, Hui Yuanai stared at the cigarette in his hand, feeling a little complicated.

...there is a sense of encountering a competitor.

What is even more worrisome is that he turned out to be the loser of a mere cigarette.

……

Hui Yuanai continued to work on Ghost Mint diligently.

in the bedroom.

Jiang Xia summoned some shikigami, and used the fastest speed to solidify them from ethereal shikigami into solid puppet clay.
