Chapter 1322 Confrontation
On the grass outside Stonehenge, the two sides were confronting each other.

On one side are Qin Zhibo, Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi.

On the other side, there were a group of pagan believers led by Xia Mei, Wang Haili and Snake.

Qin Zhibo looked at his opponent in front of him, who was Wang Haili, the player who had appeared in the Wimbledon tennis final.

What she was holding at this moment was not a tennis racket, but a pair of sickles.

She gently turned her wrist, and the cold light emitted from the sickle blade flickered in Qin Zhibo's pupils.

Qin Zhibo narrowed his eyes slightly and got ready to fight the enemy.

Suddenly, Wang Haili leaned forward and rushed over quickly.

So fast!

Qin Zhibo's pupils suddenly shrank and he subconsciously dodged sideways, but the sharp sickle blade had already fallen in front of him.

With a hiss, a cut was made on the right side of his chest.

Under the torn black windbreaker, a long wound oozed bright red blood.

Qin Zhibo retreated quickly, but before he could take a look at the wound, Wang Haili rushed towards him again.

The sickle came like a violent storm.

Qin Zhibo originally wanted to take advantage of the gap between his attacks to control his hands, but facing two continuously swinging sickles, he could not find any chance to attack.

It seems that without weapons...

Qin Zhibo retreated while observing the situation on the ground.

Suddenly, he seized the opportunity and rolled to one side tactically.

While rolling, he picked up a dagger from the pagan who had been knocked unconscious on the ground.

At this time, Wang Haili also chased after him like the god of death, swinging the sickle in her hand again.

Qin Zhibo seized the opportunity, blocked the blade of one of the sickles with his dagger, and at the same time suddenly retracted his abdomen to avoid the attack of the second sickle.

This made Wang Haili's eyes change and she felt a little surprised.

She didn't expect that the man in front of her could find an opportunity to grab weapons from the ground and block her attack even when he was so oppressed by her.

You have to know that in the entire Zhangfu Society, her sickle fighting skills are among the best, on par with He Qinglan.

He Qinglan's style is more inclined towards assassination, and she is even slightly better in this kind of head-on confrontation.

Wang Haili no longer dared to underestimate the opponent in front of her. She clenched her sickle with both hands and confronted Qin Zhibo again...

Kudo Shinichi, who was standing not far away, could only stand there and stare blankly because he was not wearing foot-strengthening shoes and there was no football here.

Under his observation, he found that Michael's Kung Fu was very similar to that of an old friend...

Especially the pagans who were knocked down by Michael, their faces were distorted with pain, which was exactly the same as the result after "that person" took action.

And when he was hiding under the car just now, he was thinking about one thing.

The fact that Michael could come here means that his previous guess was correct, and Kuroba Kaito's companion is indeed Michael.

The Kaito Kid who just appeared on the Stonehenge should also be disguised as Kuroba Kaito.

The level of lifelikeness with which he portrayed Kaito Kidd made him have to make some guesses.

That is, Kuroba Kaito is the real Kaito Kid.

Kudo Shinichi has always been curious about the true identity of Kaito Kid.

Previously, Kudo Yusaku made a brief appearance on the Hokutosei train incident to Hokkaido.

At that time, Hakuba used high-tech means to identify three candidates for Kaito Kid, and firmly believed that one of the three was Kaito Kid.

Two of them were the jewelry store manager on the Beidouxing, Rinori Kagetsu.

And Qin Zhibo.

However, later his father Yusaku Kudo appeared and denied the possibility that these three people were Kaito Kid.

Yusaku Kudo believes that since 20 years ago, there are three generations of Kaito Kidd active around the world: old, middle-aged and young.

The first Kaito Kid should be a middle-aged man of about the same age as himself.

There is also an old Kaito Kidd, who plays a brief role as a successor between the middle-aged Kidd and the young Kidd.

The Kaito Kidd, who has been active in Japan recently, is a young man around 20 years old.

At this moment, Kudo Shinichi remembered his father's judgment of Kaito Kid, and became more convinced that Kuroba Kaito is Kaito Kid.

But if Kuroba Kaito is Kaito Kidd, then according to his age, Michael is...

That middle-aged Kaito Kid?

On the other side, Mao Lilan is also facing her opponent, Xia Mei.

"Ms. Kosaka, none of this is true, is it?"

"You must have been coerced by the bad guys..."

The gentle and beautiful image of "Kosaka Natsumi" was created too successfully in the previous Egg of Memories incident.

So much so that at this moment, Mao Lilan still couldn't believe that the Natsumi in front of her was the international killer, Shikabe.

In response to Mao Lilan's question, Xia Mei did not answer, but just sneered.

Seeing this, Kudo Shinichi in the back shouted: "Xiaolan! Don't be fooled by her, she is Shikaobing!"

After experiencing everything that just happened in Stonehenge, Kudo Shinichi has completely understood and accepted the fact that "Kosaka Natsumi is the real Shikaobing."

Of course, the "Pu Si Qinglan" that I had identified at the beginning was definitely not a good person, and the two of them must be in the same group.

In fact, I should have noticed it a long time ago. After all, the eye color of these two people is exactly the same, a rare gray, which means they are definitely related by blood.

After hearing what Kudo Shinichi said, Mao Li Ran also made up her mind and her eyes became determined.

But at this moment, her body trembled suddenly and her legs unconsciously knelt on the ground.

"Xiaolan!"

Kudo Shinichi thought that Mouri Ran still didn't want to face her former "friend", so he hurried over.

But just as he ran to Ran Mouri, Ran Mouri suddenly raised her hand and punched Kudo Shinichi in the side.

The tremendous force hit him, knocking him back half a meter.

Xiaolan looked at everything in front of her in surprise, "Shinichi!"

"No, it's not me!"

At this time, a dark-skinned man stood out among the believers, holding a mirror in his hand.

"Hey, it's me..." The man let out a sinister laugh.

Mao Lilan turned around and saw that it was the manager of the spice shop she had met in London's boutique flea market before, Efik Said.

There was a look of pride in Efik's eyes. Although the silver mirror in his hand was not aimed at Mao Li Ran, it was able to reflect Mao Li Ran's figure.

When the "Mouri Ran" in the mirror slowly climbed up from the grass, the real Mouri Ran also climbed up completely uncontrollably.

This is the ability of Efik's most proud treasure - the Mirror of Gale.

The Mirror of Gale can store the images of everyone who has passed in front of the mirror, and by manipulating these images, it can influence the original owner in reality.

Mao Lilan had looked at herself in the mirror in the spice shop before, and her reflection was accidentally preserved there.

As Efik's hand slowly stroked the edge of the silver mirror, Mao Lilan walked slowly to Kudo Shinichi like a puppet.

Before Kudo Shinichi could react, he punched him in the abdomen.

"Well……"

Kudo Shinichi felt pain in his abdomen, his legs went limp, and he slowly knelt on the ground.

As the champion of the National High School Karate Kanto Tournament, the power of her punch can be imagined. Even if the Gale Mirror cannot fully exert the original owner's karate strength, it is not something that ordinary people can withstand.

Kudo Shinichi knelt on the ground and was hit by two more punches.

Seeing her childhood sweetheart being injured by her hands, Mao Lilan shed tears of heartache, but it was of no use.

The invisible force controlled her body, allowing her to punch Kudo Shinichi hard one after another.

"Shinichi!"

"Leave me alone! Run!"

Mao Lilan shouted at the top of her lungs, but her fists were still raised high.

But when the punch was thrown, Kudo Shinichi not only did not dodge, but instead rushed forward and hugged Mouri Ran's waist.

"Xiaolan, I won't leave you..."

Although Kudo Shinichi's voice was weak, it felt like a warm current in Mouri Ran's ears.

But at this moment, Efik laughed again.

"Hehe, it seems like you two want to die together..."

"In that case, I will help you."

His big, dark, rough hands stroked the coin-patterned edge of the silver mirror, as if he was operating a precision instrument.

Under his control, "Ran Mouri" in the mirror world raised her right hand high and punched down.

In reality, although Mao Lilan tried her best to resist, causing her right arm to move shakily and incoherently, she was still unable to resist.

Bang!
Mao Lilan's fist hit Kudo Shinichi's back, making a heavy muffled sound.

Kudo Shinichi felt a sweet taste in his throat and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

However, this was not the end. Ran Mouri was forced to raise her left hand again and hit Kudo Shinichi's back like a drum.

But even so, Kudo Shinichi still held Mouri Ran's waist tightly and refused to let go.

This was the only way he could think of to delay Xiaolan without hurting her.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of the grassland.

Flying at a low altitude, Kuroba Kaito gradually descended until his feet landed steadily on the grass.

He folded up the foldable hang glider and looked back at the Stonehenge a hundred meters away.

Uncle, should they be able to escape?

Kuroba Kaito narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the Stonehenge for a long time, but found that no one was chasing him.

According to the plan he had made with Qin Zhibo before, he would attract most of the people away, and Qin Zhibo would then take Kudo Shinichi and Mao Li Ran and escape from the other side.

But now there is not even a single person or car chasing after them.

Could it be that the plan has been discovered? Did the uncle and the others not notice it?
Just when Kuroba Kaito was about to go back to take a look, a magnetic male voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Where are you looking?"

The hairs on Kuroba Kaito's back stood up instantly, and his body subconsciously retreated several meters in the opposite direction of the sound.

When he looked carefully, he realized that the man standing opposite him was an "acquaintance" he hadn't seen for a long time.

"It's you?"

Kuroba Kaito frowned as he recognized the man as the world's number one illusionist and international killer Spider.

Earlier in London's City Hall, it was this person who used illusion to manipulate civilians, creating an opportunity for the undercover agents who infiltrated the Hobber Thaumaturgy to steal the gems.

But what puzzled him more at the moment was how Spider caught up with him?
And I didn't see him at the ceremony just now.

Just as he was about to ask the question in his mind, Spider's aura suddenly changed.

He raised his hand leisurely, and his every gesture became arrogant, as if he was an emperor who was invincible.

On that dim face, a pair of eyes gradually turned scarlet.

Another illusion!

Kuroba Kaito thought to himself that something was wrong. He knew how powerful Spider's illusion was. He had suffered a loss in their first fight in Japan.

At that time, Spider used magic to create the thing he feared most in his heart - fish.

Thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito quickly took out his playing card pistol, ready to interrupt the spell.

But before he could pull the trigger, an invisible force suddenly hit him from the front.

Kuroba Kaito was unable to react in time and his entire body was thrown several meters away, with the playing card pistol falling to the ground.

what?
So fast!

Lying on the ground, Kuroba Kaito felt that this was not an illusion, but something really hit him.

It's just that this thing is moving too fast and I can't see it at all.

He hurriedly tried to get up from the ground, but before he could stand firm, he was pushed away by the same force again.

Then, something grabbed his shoulders and lifted him into the air.

Although he struggled hard, it was of no use because his feet were off the ground.

"Hey!"

"Put me down!"

Kuroba Kaito roared, twisting his body and suddenly threw a smoke bomb at Spider.

Bang!
At the moment the smoke exploded, Kuroba Kaito, who was hanging in the air, hurriedly looked for the rope to tie himself up.

He guessed that Spider used some kind of small flying device to tether himself in mid-air.

But when he looked up, he saw that there was no aircraft above his head.

Instead, the air on both sides of his shoulders was somewhat distorted, as distorted and blurry as the hot air above a flame.

what is this?
Is it an illusion?

Kuroba Kaito couldn't tell.

At this time, Spider also walked out from the gradually thinning smoke.

He just glanced at Kuroba Kaito indifferently, without saying a word, and his body slowly floated up and flew towards the direction of Stonehenge.

Kuroba Kaito himself was caught in mid-air by the two transparent, distorted air masses and flew towards the Stonehenge.

It was not until this moment that Kuroba Kaito looked at "Spider" in front of him with his hands behind his back and realized that something was wrong.

Not only is Spider's entire temperament very different from before, even the illusions he uses are so mysterious that he can't really tell what's real or fake.

This god-like arrogance made it difficult for him not to doubt that the reincarnation ritual had been successful.

He quickly shouted at the figure floating in front of him: "Who are you!"

However, the other party ignored him and continued to float forward, leaving only a pure white playing card pistol on the grass.

After a while, a dark figure approached and picked up the playing card pistol.

……

Bang!
In the center of the Stonehenge, as the invisible force in the sky suddenly relaxed, Kuroba Kaito fell heavily to the ground from mid-air.

Fortunately, he adjusted his posture in advance, so Kuroba Kaito was able to land in a relatively stable posture.

However, when he looked around, he found himself surrounded by several pagans.

And Spider also quietly landed on the ground from the air.
