Conan's grammatical investigator

Hearing what Koizumi Hongzi said, the dwarf butler was a little surprised, "Is there something dirty?"

"Master Hongzi, the house has been cleaned this morning..."

Koizumi Hongzi frowned, looked around carefully, then slowly shook her head, "No, the dirty things just appeared in the house."

Qin Zhibo, who was standing aside, glanced at Harumi Minase who was floating in the air without leaving a trace.

dirty stuff……

At this time, Minase Harumi also turned his attention to Koizumi Hongko, and finally understood that Koizumi Hongko was talking about her.

"dirty stuff?!"

"This beautiful girl is not dirty! You are the dirty thing!"

"Your whole family is dirty!"

Minase Harumen floated onto Koizumi Hongko's head, angrily waving his fist.

But her fists are at most just gesticulating and gesticulating the air, and they can't cause any substantial damage to Koizumi Hongzi at all.

"Forget it, maybe it's because I consumed too much mana just now. In fact, when I was in the park just now, I also felt the same way..."

Koizumi Hongko turned her gaze back, but did not see Minase Harumi who was practicing boxing above her head, and turned to look at the "mummy" brought by Qin Zhibo.

"What is this you brought?"

"It's the corpse of a friend. I want you to help revive him."

"resurrection?"

Koizumi Hongzi turned pale with shock, "Don't make a mistake, right? You want me to revive him?"

"Who do you think I am? I'm not the legendary great magician Eibon, how could I have the ability to resurrect the dead?"

"And even that great magician, there is no record that he has mastered a powerful magic that can bring the dead back to life!"

Koizumi Hongzi's reaction was a bit strong, which was also expected by Qin Zhibo.

After all, such things as "returning the dead to life" can be called the technique of reversing time far beyond common sense. If magic could do this, the world would have belonged to magicians long ago.

However, because of going beyond common sense, Qin Zhibo could only ask Hongzi Koizumi, who is a witch, to try it out.

"But you are the future heir of the Red Magic Clan, a beautiful and powerful witch, if even you can't do it, who else can help me?"

With a strong dramatic accent, Qin Zhibo flattered the witch.

When Hongzi Koizumi heard this, she covered her mouth with the back of her hand and let out a signature laugh.

"Oh, ho, ho, ho—"

Qin Zhibo saw that Koizumi Hongzi was really useful, and continued: "I remember that there is a witchcraft in voodoo called 'resurrected corpse', which can make the body of the dead continue to exist in the form of 'alive'."

"I don't know if there is something similar in the witch's magic..."

Koizumi Hongzi immediately shook her head, "I've heard of the reanimated corpse, but it's not the same as a voodoo doll, it's not a witchcraft that laymen can use."

"The dead who are 'resurrected' by the resurrection technique are not real resurrections, but living dead people between living and dead. Their souls are not in their own bodies, but in the caster's place."

"However, it is an extremely stupid and dangerous thing for a mere human to dare to drive the undead of the dead."

As a witch, Koizumi Hongzi has a better understanding of voodoo witchcraft, and even uses voodoo dolls, a low-level witchcraft.

In the previous operation in Kubado Park, Koizumi Koko used the voodoo doll to "curse" the gin.

The use of voodoo dolls needs to achieve two key elements, one is to make voodoo dolls exclusive to the cursed, and the other is to pay the "price".

If you want to curse a specific person, you need to make a voodoo doll exclusive to that person, and you need to meet two conditions.

First of all, it must be based on the target's own appearance to make a voodoo doll that looks similar.

Second, the voodoo doll must have a "double" of the target in its body, something that the cursed person once had.

That voodoo doll is a voodoo doll made by Hongko Koizumi through the special vision of the crystal ball, referring to the appearance of gin, which meets the first condition.

The "clone" is the ashes of the photo brought by "Qin Zhibo", and that photo can also be regarded as the "clone" of Qin Jiu, because Qin Jiu gave it to Qin Zhibo.

To make a voodoo doll, if you want the curse to have actual effects, you have to pay a corresponding price.

For example, the price Koizumi Hongzi pays is her own magic power. Every time she pricks Gin's voodoo doll, she needs to pay her own magic power.

If a non-magic Muggle uses a voodoo doll, he will pay his luck accordingly.

Those who curse others must also be cursed themselves. For example, if a voodoo doll is discovered and ruined, this is actually the "price" demanded by the doll.

All the witchcraft of voodoo basically follow the logic of "cost", just like the ex-boyfriend who once wanted to curse and kill Yoko Okino, if he wants to kill someone, he must commit suicide first.

Even if the "price" of using witchcraft is compensated by magic power, it is not completely offset, and Hongzi Koizumi will still be affected in the future.

So she rarely used voodoo dolls. The last time she used it was also the first time she used it to deal with Kaitou Kidd.

This also led to a series of embarrassing incidents where she was tricked by her own magic at the school's Christmas skiing competition.

As for the embarrassment, Koizumi Hongzi didn't want to say, and Qin Zhibo didn't ask in detail.

"If you come into contact with the reanimated corpse easily, the price may not be repaid by the living..."

Koizumi Hongzi's tone was deep and serious, she was seriously admonishing Qin Zhibo not to have such crooked thoughts.

But in fact, Qin Zhibo had come into contact with revenant corpses and the voodoo believers who made them before, and learned some details about "resurrection corpses".

To create a resurrected corpse, one must be killed by tetrodotoxin.

Secondly, Qin Zhibo guessed that some witchcraft related to Baron Samedi, the "Lord of the Dead Tomb", would be needed to resurrect people.

Baron Samedi is the god of death believed in voodoo, and one of the clones of crouching chaos.

And I once escaped from the hands of Baron Samedi, but because of this, I have "grudges" with him, and I need to be alert to his other thousand forms.

Therefore, due to various constraints, Qin Zhibo didn't really think that the reanimated corpse was a good way to revive Akai Shuichi.

But if you don't come up with ideas yourself, you won't be able to arouse Koizumi Hongzi's desire to think, so you just reject them completely.

Qin Zhibo continued: "Actually, I use a special container to protect his soul."

"Wouldn't it be easier to resurrect the body alone without the soul dissipating?"

Qin Zhibo lowered the difficulty for Koizumi Hongzi, although the hope is still very slim.

But Hongzi Koizumi's eyes changed slightly, as if she had thought of something.

"If this is the case, maybe there is really a way..."

The excitement in Qin Zhibo's eyes was undisguised, "Really?"

Koizumi Hongzi turned her head and said seriously: "Actually, apart from our red magic, there are six other magics among the witches."

"All the witches correspond to the seven colors of the rainbow, red orange yellow green blue blue purple."

"Correspondingly, witches with different colors of magic have different spells they are good at using."

"For example, our Red Magic Clan, the magic we are best at is manipulating flames!"

Saying that, Koizumi Hongzi raised a finger, a little flame ignited on the delicate fingertips, and flung it towards the extinguished white candle by the window with a wave of her hand.

Immediately, the candle head was ignited by the flame, emitting a dim light.

"Wow!" Minase Harumen let out a ghostly cry of admiration, shouting "One more! One more!"

However, Hongzi Koizumi ignored her and continued to introduce.

"Among the seven colors of magic, what the green magic family is best at is the magic of bringing the dead back to life."

"However, strictly speaking, that kind of magic cannot be called 'returning the dead', but a kind of life recovery."

"Their magic must be based on the fact that the body of the deceased is complete, and the time of death is not long, and the soul has not left the body."

Koizumi Hongzi's words brought hope to Qin Zhibo, but he didn't expect that there is magic that can bring people back to life.

It's Conan's nemesis!

"Then where can I find the witches of the Green Magic clan?"

At this time, the housekeeper who had been standing by and listening respectfully spoke up in his gloomy voice.

"This is almost impossible. With the tragic history of witch hunting in the Middle Ages, witches now pay great attention to hiding their identities. It is almost impossible for outsiders to distinguish the existence of witches."

"It's already considered very high-profile to act like Master Hongzi, yet he's still using magic in public..."

The butler's tone was a little dissatisfied, and there was something in his words.

Koizumi Hongzi closed her eyes, and reached out her hand to stop the housekeeper from continuing.

Qin Zhibo knew that he was dissatisfied with Koizumi Hongzi's use of voodoo dolls to help him outside, which did not conform to the witch's usual low-key code of conduct.

For this, Qin Zhibo is also very grateful. The two now not only have the unified goal of "going to Enkai", but also have the taste of comrades-in-arms.

Koizumi Hongzi continued to add: "Even if you find a witch from the green magic family, the other party will not use that kind of magic for you."

"Because the essence of that kind of magic is the balance of energy between two lives, if you want to restore one, you must consume the life energy of the other, and the witch will age and even die."

"No witch would use this kind of magic for a stranger..."

Qin Zhibo's face was shocked, and he noticed that the topic seemed to return to "price".

For things like life recovery, even magic power cannot be used as the price for recovery, but only as a means of paying the price.

"unless……"

Koizumi Hongzi suddenly changed the topic, "Becoming the Supreme Witch is another matter..."

"Supreme Witch?" It's a good title, but it's in front of "Witch", Qin Zhibo thinks it's reasonable, "What does this mean?"

The butler next to him stepped forward again and explained.

"The Supreme Witch is the strongest witch who combines the magic of seven colors. Since the combination of the seven colors is black, she is also called the 'Black Witch'."

"The emergence of the Supreme Witch needs to be established through the Witch's Gathering. Not only does it have to pass the assessment of the 'Seven Arrays', but it also needs to be crowned by the 'God of the Witch's Banquet'."

"After becoming the Supreme Witch, you can command the entire Witch Assembly..."

Koizumi Hongzi nodded, and added, "At that time, you only need to order a witch from the green magic family to resurrect your friend, and you must agree even if you pay the price of your life."

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised when he heard this. There is such a clearly stipulated inheritance system among the witches.

"It's a pity that the Supreme Witch has disappeared for hundreds of years. The current seven clans of witches are scattered, and I'm afraid there will be no more Supreme Witches in the future..."

The housekeeper poured a basin of cold water at the right time to make the two of them give up this idea.

But Qin Zhibo had a new idea.

"Since there is no Supreme Witch now, how about letting Koizumi Hongko become the Supreme Witch?"

"You mean me?" Koizumi Hongzi was a little surprised and speechless.

The housekeeper also said slightly: "Although Master Hongzi has a high talent for magic, unfortunately, he is still far from reaching the point of becoming a supreme witch."

"The Supreme Witch must pass the 'Seven Arrays' test in front of all the witches, that is..."

"The telekinesis of the purple magic family..."

"The mind control of the Yellow Magic Clan..."

"The teleportation of the blue magic family..."

"The divination and prophecy of the Blue Magic Clan..."

"The resurrection of the green magic family..."

"The primordial spirit of the orange magic family has gone out of the body..."

"The last is the control flame of our Red Magic family."

"Master Hongzi, besides manipulating flames, which Red Magic is best at, can only use divination and prophecy. For mind control, it can be regarded as barely passing the test with the help of magic props and magic circles."

"At this level, it's still too early to pass the examination of the seven formations."

It was rare for the butler man not to flatter him this time, but to tell the truth.

But Qin Zhibo still didn't give up his thoughts, and calmly analyzed: "Although her current level is not enough, don't forget where we are going next."

Koizumi Hongzi froze for a moment, "You mean?"

"Enkai..."

Enkai, the ultimate magic abyss located in the underground world of Kunyang, is also a holy place in the eyes of magicians.

If you can reach Enkai safely, you may gain something in it, just like the legendary great magician Eibon.

Legend has it that Eibon obtained a powerful magic that transcends time and space in Enkai, and there are even rumors that he used this magic to settle on Saturn.

Such a powerful magician has surpassed the so-called Supreme Witch.

If one could obtain the "profound knowledge" hidden in the depths of Enkai, he would naturally be able to pass the examination of the Supreme Witch.

It just so happened that Qin Zhibo had just gotten his "ticket" to Enkai, and now he was short of a plane ticket.

And Koizumi Hongzi originally wanted to go to Enkai, in order to find her mother who disappeared many years ago.

14 years ago, Koizumi Hongzi's mother, like many magicians chasing powerful magic, went deep into the underground world and never came back.

"Master Hongzi! Are you really going to that place?"

Seeing that the matter of going to Enkai seemed to be a foregone conclusion, the usually gloomy housekeeper suddenly asked excitedly.
