Ke Xue: I have a knife, and you still dare to fight me?

Kurokawa Saki once again held the knife to her neck, asking with a slight smile.

"Regarding the spider incident tonight, I would like to ask Miss Witch, did you know about it beforehand?"

"I know, I know!"

Feeling the chilling aura emanating from the blade, Koizumi Akako nodded repeatedly.

“Great, now for the third question.”

"A-any more?"

The blade slowly moved towards her neck.

The biting cold air became bone-chilling.

"Do you have a problem with this, Miss Witch?"

Koizumi Akako swallowed hard.

"No, no, please ask."

"The third question is about your entire plan for tonight's operation. Miss Witch, you'd better think about it carefully. You should know what I want to know, right?"

Koizumi Hongzi nodded.

She felt extremely frustrated.

But there was nothing they could do.

The other person had a knife to her neck.

It could even be said that this world was fabricated by the other party.

I can't fight anymore, I can't run anymore.

"A lamb to the slaughter" is not even a fitting description of her current situation.

Koizumi Akako began to explain her plan with trembling hands.

Hearing that Koizumi Akako actually wanted to sit back and watch the two tigers fight, so she could reap the benefits later.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki laughed in a rather unkind way.

This guy is really interesting.

At this moment, Koizumi Akako dared not look him in the eye.

Koizumi Akako herself now wishes she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"The witch's strategies are truly formidable, capable of defeating even the most brilliant and promising talents."

Kurokawasaki Tsuki said with a smile.

Although Koizumi Akako was completely confused by Kurokawasaki Tsuki's words, she could easily guess that Kurokawasaki Tsuki was definitely mocking her.

I just want to crawl into a hole and disappear.

Koizumi Akako gritted her teeth.

"Now, can we dispel the illusion?"

"My question has been answered, but Miss Witch, your answer is still yet to be revealed. Aren't you curious about how long my secret technique can trap you?"

Koizumi Akako almost ground her back molars to powder.

Damn that guy!

Damn, damn, damn!

Compared to Kurokawasaki Tsuki, Kaito Kid is practically a great guy now.

She had never suffered such a loss before, from childhood to adulthood.

A sense of frustration welled up inside her.

She really wants to cry out loud right now.

But her identity as a witch had already deprived her of the right to cry.

Because a witch's magic disappears when she cries.

As a result, she felt even worse.

Koizumi Akako gripped her pants tightly.

The fingers that were gripping it so tightly had lost all color.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki put away the Tsukimi Maru and draped it over his shoulder, then quietly looked at Koizumi Akako in front of him.

"Even if you're lucky tonight, even if you get the answer you want, I don't have time to keep you verifying it. After all, I have family waiting for me to come home. Take care of yourself, Miss Witch."

However, Koizumi Akako remained silent with her head down.

But Kurokawa Sakizuki doesn't have time to care about her situation right now.

He could already sense someone approaching.

And there were quite a few people there.

It's likely that the police have come looking for us.

Kurokawa Tsuki hadn't forgotten there was a spider outside, and he still had to carry it away.

He immediately dispelled the illusion.

As the surrounding white gradually disintegrated.

The familiar woods appeared before them once again.

After picking up the spider.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki turned around and glanced at Koizumi Akako again.

It turned out that the other party had already taken off on a broomstick.

"..."

They run quite fast, though.

The beams of the police officers' flashlights could already be faintly seen in the woods.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki also quickly made his escape.

Because I was carrying someone, it was difficult to get a taxi.

However, this is not a difficult task.

An illusion spell was cast.

The driver saw that there was only one large suitcase.

The kind-hearted driver even offered to help Kurokawasaki Tsuki put her suitcase in.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki politely declined.

He returned home safely, albeit with some close calls.

At Kurokawa's house.

Hearing the noise, Ai Haibara opened the door.

Then she saw something that was hard to understand.

Kurokawa Saki took a person out of the taxi driver's trunk.

She was someone who was wrapped up like a silkworm cocoon.

The driver's expression, however, was nonchalant, as if he didn't consider the person a human being at all.

She even waved to Kurokawasaki Tsuki with a smile.

This is very strange.

"What's happening here?"

"Uh, the situation is a bit complicated, but that's not important. Ai, do you think there's any hope for this?"

Kurokawasaki Tsuki lifted the spider and brought his face in front of Haibara, revealing the spider's now quite wise eyes.

Ai Haibara looked at the spider's wise eyes, then blinked.

Why does that look in her eyes seem so familiar?

correct!

Ai Haibara quickly thought of the two silly parrots at home.

If not exactly a perfect match, they are at least nine-tenths similar in appearance.

"Is he... stupid?"

“I don’t know either. He became like this after I scared him. Do you have any medicine that can restore a person’s sanity? This guy is still somewhat useful.”

Ai Haibara's lips twitched.

"I'm not a miracle doctor, where would I get so many strange and unusual medicines? Besides, there's no precedent for this in the organization, and we certainly wouldn't prepare such drugs..."

"Is that so? That's such a pity."

Hearing that there was no hope, Kurokawasaki Tsuki casually tossed the spider aside.

Then he plopped down on the sofa.

He then noticed Ai Haibara's hesitant expression, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Is that person riding a flying broom really... a witch?"

"A witch? That's probably close enough, but she is definitely a genuine magician."

Upon receiving Kurokawasaki Tsuki's affirmation, Ai Haibara's lips twitched again.

This world is truly full of hidden talents; it's not scientific at all.

However, Ai Haibara's words reminded Tsuki Kurokawa.

Yes, if science can't solve it, isn't there always metaphysics?

His gaze returned to the spider.

Perhaps Koizumi Akako has some ideas.

but……

I'm not entirely sure about Kurokawasaki Tsuki.

I just killed her several times.

I don't know if she'd be willing to help with this.

If they're not willing, wouldn't it mean we'd have to resort to knives and guns again?

Chapter 160 Retrieving Equipment

Kurokawa Saki checked the time; it was already quite late.

If I go to Douzi's house again, I won't have much time to sleep.

Besides, at this hour, Kaito Kuroba is probably already asleep.

Think of this.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki immediately decided to go see Kuroba Kaito tomorrow.

Sleeping is the most important thing right now.

Tonight's energy expenditure is quite high.

Before going to sleep, he also asked Ai Haibara for a bottle of recovery potion.

I finally got to drink the blueberry-flavored recovery potion.

The taste was surprisingly good.

It doesn't feel like a tube of medicine at all; it feels like drinking a sweet drink.
