Conan Rick's Investigator

During this time, the butler who was driving in the front would occasionally glance at Qin Zhibo who was sitting in the back through the rearview mirror with a gloomy look.

However, Qin Zhibo had already seen through this gloomy butler who wore a flashy pink suit and whose body resembled a "big sweet potato".

His name is as hard to describe as his appearance, so it’s better not to say it.

As for his occupation, it was an honest butler, not some weird occupation like "magic man".

However, since he is responsible for taking care of Koizumi Akako's food, clothing, and daily life, he must know magic.

So Qin Zhibo went straight to the point and talked to Koizumi Hongzi.

"Miss Witch, I want to learn magic."

Koizumi Hongzi was stunned for a few seconds before she replied, "Learning magic? Are you dreaming?"

"To release magic, you must use magic power, and magic power is only possessed by a very small number of humans."

"Also, the magic of our Red Magic Clan has always been passed down from daughters to daughters, not sons."

Unlike Kuroba Kaito, Koizumi Akako did not pretend to be stupid to completely deny the existence of magic. Instead, she directly stated that it was impossible for Qin Zhibo to learn magic.

However, Qin Zhibo had already prepared a response.

"As for magic power...I do have it."

"As for the rule of passing the lineage down to daughters but not sons, that rule is dead, but people are alive. As long as you..."

Qin Zhibo was speaking when Koizumi Hongzi suddenly raised her hand to interrupt him. She asked in disbelief, "You said you have magic powers? Is that true?"

"Yes."

Qin Zhibo nodded seriously, but Koizumi Hongzi still didn't believe it.

"I don't believe it unless you can show your magic."

"If you have magical powers, you can at least do some supernatural things, right?"

In Koizumi Akako's understanding, magic is such a mysterious power that no scientific instrument can measure its existence, and even witches cannot directly experience the existence of magic.

To put it simply, magic is a simple causal force.

Using this causal force as the source, and applying some formulas called "magic", we can successfully create some causal relationships that go against science.

For example, the Thunderfall Technique is actually the cause and effect relationship of raising your hand + waving your hand = thunderfall.

Therefore, even if one has not formally mastered "magic", people with magical powers can still create some "small miracles" through some intentional or unintentional actions.

Bend a spoon with your mind, light a small fire, bring bad luck to those around you... and so on.

This is also known as "The Witch's Awakening".

In the history of witches, a large number of women in medieval Europe accidentally awakened or used this power, creating "miracles" that ordinary people could not understand, and thus suffered humiliation and cruel persecution.

That period was the darkest age for witches, known as the "Witch Hunt."

Of course, people with magical powers in this world are not just women, but men as well.

However, the possibility of men awakening magic power is relatively low, and there has never been a large-scale awakening, and the number is far less than that of witches.

But once their magic power is awakened, male magicians will generally achieve higher achievements than witches.

Most of the famous magicians in history were men. Even the legendary strongest magician, Yin Boen, was a man.

It is said that the great magician Yin Boen even mastered abilities beyond the concept of magic, and was able to travel freely in dimensions beyond time and space. To this day, his soul still wanders back and forth between reality and fantasy.

The lost magic book "The Book of Yin Boen" written by him is the supreme magic book coveted by magicians all over the world.

However, this masterpiece, which contains obscure and terrifying myths, evil and profound spells, rituals and ceremonies, now only has fragments of monkey fur manuscripts left.

Even these meaningless "fragments" are strictly protected by an organization called "Miskatonic".

Chapter 134 The chocolate is quite sweet. Do you have any more?

Thinking back to the present, Koizumi Hongzi believes that there are only two reasons why Qin Zhibo cannot learn magic.

First of all, the possibility of men awakening their magic power is very low. How can we talk about magic without magic power?

Secondly, the witch's rule is that she cannot teach magic to men, because once a man learns magic, he will quickly surpass the witch herself.

As the saying goes, "Teach your apprentice and starve yourself to death." A witch who is already very jealous would never teach magic to a man.

There is also a rule passed down from generation to generation by witches: once a witch sheds tears, she will lose her magic power.

Male magicians have never heard of such a rule.

Therefore, it is destined that male magicians will achieve higher achievements than witches.

At the moment, Koizumi Hongzi wants to confirm whether Qin Zhibo has magic power.

……

Qin Zhibo did not refuse to show that he had magical powers.

It's just a supernatural ability, Qin Zhibo does have it...

For example, you will never get lost (navigation device)...

Just one look at the other person's face will reveal their basic information (investigator's perspective)...

Once a day, forcibly transmit thoughts into the opponent's brain (a flash of inspiration gun)...

Once every three days, a location within a ten-kilometer radius (guardian totem) is seen...

Which of these "super powers" should I show?

After a little thought, Qin Zhibo chose the superpower he wanted to demonstrate.

"Miss Witch, please lend me your hand."

"Hmm?" Koizumi Hongzi was a little confused.

Qin Zhibo smiled and explained, "My ability is to transmit my thoughts into the other person's brain just through physical contact."

"It's like telepathy..."

Faced with Qin Zhibo's casual fabrication, Koizumi Hongzi was skeptical, but still handed her hand to Qin Zhibo.

Koizumi Akako's hands are very beautiful, slender and smooth, and you can tell that she takes good care of them regularly.

Qin Zhibo pretended to take out a white glove from his pocket and put it on, then grabbed Koizumi Hongzi's hands with both hands.

At this moment, Koizumi Hongzi raised an objection.

"Why are you only wearing one glove?"

"Because the other glove is lost, and my magic requires skin-to-skin contact..."

"All right……"

Koizumi Akako once again accepted Qin Zhibo's statement with doubt, not knowing that Qin Zhibo actually wanted to "take two approaches at the same time."

On the one hand, Qin Zhibo needs to investigate Koizumi Hongzi's information through skin contact.

On the other hand, Qin Zhibo needs a magic extractor to try to extract Koizumi Hongzi's magic.

First, [Survey √]

-

In addition to her extremely good looks, the biggest feature of Koizumi Akako's character card is that she has a magic value that ordinary people do not have.

Not only that, special skills (magic) also appear in the skills accordingly.

It seems that this witch lady deserves the title.

Next, Qin Zhibo noticed that the numbers on the magic extractor moved.

[Magic value: 8]

The magic power in the magic extractor increased by 1 point. At the same time, Qin Zhibo noticed that Koizumi Hongzi's magic power decreased by 1 point and became 69.

Ok?

At this time, Koizumi Hongzi, whose hand had been held tightly, became a little impatient and asked with a somewhat unhappy expression, "Are you okay?"

"Just a little while, it will be fine..."

Qin Zhibo pretended to touch Koizumi Hongzi's hand for another minute.

During this minute, the magic extractor gained another 5 points of magic.

Now [Magic Points: 13]

Correspondingly, Koizumi Akako's magic power decreased by 5 points.

Koizumi Hongzi's [Magic Power: 64]

That’s about it…

Qin Zhibo quietly withdrew his left hand, put it in his pocket, and suddenly a gun appeared, aiming it at Koizumi Hongzi's feet.

At this time, Koizumi Hongzi, who was sitting opposite Qin Zhibo, was twisting her body uncomfortably.

For some reason, Koizumi Hongzi always felt that when Qin Zhibo started to touch her hand, there were several big ants crawling all over her body.

This feeling was very uncomfortable and made her feel anxious and uneasy.

Just when Koizumi Hongzi was about to stop Qin Zhibo from continuing to "cast the spell", a thought suddenly came into Koizumi Hongzi's mind.

Lock the door, turn off the gas, and check if the child is yours.

It was still the classic three-piece suit, forcing Koizumi Akako to answer.

After answering, he found that Qin Zhibo had already stretched out his hands properly and asked with a smile: "How is it? Did you feel it?"

"Those are the three questions I want to ask you."

Looking at Qin Zhibo's harmless smile, Koizumi Hongzi was so angry that she wanted to curse.

Forget about the first two questions, what does this third question mean? !

Do I look like someone who has children?

However, Qin Zhibo ignored the frown on Koizumi Hongzi's forehead and asked shamelessly, "How's that? Does this prove that I have magical powers?"

"Um……"

Koizumi Akako nodded reluctantly. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that this was indeed a kind of superpower.

The man in front of me actually possesses magic power!

As the legitimate heir of Red Magic, this was the first time that Koizumi Hongzi had seen a man with magical powers.

A man with magical powers is likely to achieve greater success than a witch...
