[Conan] I just want to be a magician quietly.

He looked at the box in his hand and suddenly sneered.

To put it bluntly, magic power is just a form of energy. Similarly, vitality is actually the same.

Although the magic power absorbed by the box is not much compared to the total amount of his current magic power, but if it is converted into other energy...

About as much as sucking dry an able-bodied adult.

In other words, if any ordinary person comes here, it is impossible to take this box away. On the contrary, he will be sucked to death by this box/or the contents of the box.

The water of the organization seems to be a little deeper than he imagined.

The phone vibrated, and a boss who played for less than half an hour sent him a message again.

[Safe House No. 1, Gin will be waiting for you there. 】

Ruo Muliang raised his eyebrows. The hour spent in the villa was not simply used to lament how glorious and luxurious the Karasuma house was, but to check whether there is anything in the Twilight Annex, which obviously looks wrong. Monitoring equipment.

Since there is no monitoring method, how can the boss pinch the point so accurately, knowing that he has got this thing?Chinese website

Things seem to get complicated.

He looked at the box in his hand again. The surface of the box made of pure gold was also engraved with complicated patterns. Apart from that, he didn't see anything like a lock, as if it could be opened easily.

Anyway, the boss didn't say he couldn't see what's inside, right?

Ruo Muliang opened the box, looked at the ruby ​​lying on the pure black velvet cushion inside the box, and fell into deep thought again.

The combination of ruby ​​and magic power, this déjà vu is so strong that it wants to jump on his face.

He tentatively condensed a trace of magic power and touched the ruby, then sighed softly.He took out his phone and took a photo, then cut the account number.

Little Pigeon: [? ? ? 】

Little Pigeon: [Where are people?Playing dead again? 】

Ruo Muliang: Go find Hongzi and see if this gem is the one she was looking for.

Little Pigeon: [? ? ? ? ?did you find itAre you sure this is it?Just wait for me, I'll go find Hongzi right away. 】

Ruo Muliang took back the phone, although Kuroba Kaito has not sent back any news, but he is basically certain in his heart that the ruby ​​in his hand is the one that Koizumi Koko once entrusted Kuroba Kaito to look for. The "Red Magic Stone" that disappeared with her aunt Ayako Koizumi.

Because after thinking of Koizumi Hongzi, he finally remembered why he always felt that the combination of the base station sites on the map before and the pattern engraved on the bottom of the box just now were vaguely familiar.

This is somewhat similar to the magic circle that Koizumi Koko described in Jiang Gutian, used to capture the Kaitou Kidd, and then turned around to deal with him under -80's backstab.

Wow, when Ke Xue, the biggest boss in the world, stopped playing Ke Xue and playing magic, the famous detective with an absolutely materialistic view of the world seemed to have no chance of winning.

Ruo Muliang closed the box, turned around and left this amazingly valuable annex.

It's also time to meet our dear boss.

Safe House 1

The entire safe house was extremely quiet, except for the gin, even Curacao, who was resident here, had temporarily disappeared.

Qin Jiu raised his eyelids and glanced at Ruo Muliang, got up without saying a word, took Ruo Muliang to an underground secret room of the safe house, and then left the room silently.

The screen in the center of the secret room lit up, and Renye Karasuma's old voice sounded.But this time, there was no weird feeling of being brainwashed along with his voice.

It seems that the boss really thinks that two brainwashings are enough.

"My dear Sangria, you are doing well, I know you have enough talent, you will not let me down."

Enough talent?

Does the boss know that he can do magic?This is getting more and more interesting.

When did he know about it?Is it... after the mask?It seems that after that time, Qin Jiu almost never sent him any missions.

He was thinking desperately in his mind, but Ruo Muliang didn't show it on his face, he just looked at the electronic screen with a smile, looking like he had been successfully brainwashed into a mentally disabled person.

"Of course, I am willing to do anything for the boss!"

"Good boy, Gin should have told you that the Twilight Annex is a reward for you. I heard that you have a small renovation plan for this Annex?"

Ruo Muliang nodded: "Yes, if the boss doesn't like me starting construction on the annex, I can do nothing, anyway, safe house No. [-] is not bad~"

Renye Karasuma's old voice seemed to choke a little, and then continued as if nothing had happened: "No, I like your small renovation plan, but since the Twilight Annex has started construction, by the way How about having a little guest?

Although the IQ of a certain tenant is a bit low, the game plan he came up with is still good. "

Ruo Muliang:?

This is implying that I will follow Da Shanzhu's plan, invite other people to the Twilight Annex, and even encourage me to let them kill each other, right?

Is it the same as the tragedy that happened to the Karasuma Group 40 years ago?

"Okay, I will follow your wishes, dear boss."

Chapter 291 Conspiracy with the Phantom Thief

Leaving the underground secret room, Ruo Muliang glanced at Gin Jiu, who was still guarding alone in the No. 1 safe house, turned his head and walked out the door of the safe house.

After driving the mini-map around twice and finding no suspicious persons following him, he found a small corner and switched the professor's account, and came to Jiang Gutian, the billiard bar of Mr. Terai.

No, no, no, a certain talkative little pigeon is trying to burst his phone's memory with messages.

Ruo Muliang pushed open the door of the bar, and saw two underage high school students at the edge of the bar without any surprise.

Kuroba Kaito was better, but Koizumi Hongko's expression was obviously a little anxious.

"Red Magic Stone..."

Ruo Muliang lowered his head, "I didn't take it back, I just asked you to confirm if it belongs to your family."

Koizumi Hongzi:? ? ?

You seem to be kidding me?

"Is there something you can't get back?"

Kaito Kuroba seemed to have discovered some new continent, and was amazed for a while.

Ruo Muliang hooked the corner of his mouth, opened his mouth and said, "No matter how powerful I am, I can't take the nuclear bomb."

Koizumi Hongzi:? !

Kuroba Kaito:? !

"No, wait, the amount of information in your sentence seems to be a bit large." Kaito Kuroba felt his head buzzing, and silently stroked his thoughts.

Ruo Muliang took out his mobile phone, found the pattern of the magic circle that he had taken in the Twilight Villa, and handed it to Koizumi Hongzi.

"This magic circle seems to be a bit similar to the magic circle you used to catch the phantom thief before. Would you mind explaining it?"

Koizumi Hongzi gave him a strange look, and silently took a sip of pomegranate juice.

"I now believe that you are truly innocent."

Ruo Muliang:?

Feelings, this girl screamed and killed him the second time she saw him. Is there any additional reason?

Koizumi Hongzi closed her eyes, "Neon magic has been handed down to the present and is divided into four factions, namely black, white, red, and green. However, except for the red magic, the others have gradually been lost over a long period of time. In addition to inheritance, magic has become a concept that only appears in anime or light novels.”

Kaito Kuroba also sat next to the two of them at this time, took a goblet very naturally, and then poured a glass of Coke.

"Speaking of which, can ordinary people become a member of your magicians through acquired learning?"

After cooperating with the professor so many times, it has not been a day or two since he has been envious of certain skills of the exclusive special effects artist.

"Heh, it is naturally possible for ordinary people to master the power of magic."

Koizumi Hongzi sneered, "Find a magician who is still alive, then kill him, and dig out the magic core in his body before his consciousness completely dissipates.

Not only can you become a magician immediately, but you can even learn most of the knowledge of magic inheritance directly through the magic core. It is a shortcut to overtaking on a curve. Do you want to try it? "

Kuroba Kaito:! ! !

"Are you... serious?"

Koizumi Hongzi snorted, turned her head and did not continue to answer.

Of course she was serious, otherwise, no matter how arrogant the witch's temper was, there would be no reason to kill a stranger who had only met once.

When she saw the extremely ominous magical power on the professor, she really thought that he became a magician through this quick method, and the phrase "bring disaster to the world" in the prophecy seemed to confirm her conjecture .

After all, Miss Witch, whose roots are red, would never have imagined that there would be an unlucky person on the side of magic from outside, because she was targeted by the Dao of Heaven, and even her breath was in the shape of -80.

However, after being cast by the professor to have inexplicable nightmares for a month, she gradually realized that this kind of magic method did not seem to be any kind of magic method she knew, that is to say, the other party was probably just someone who didn't appear in front of people very often. It's just the successor of the hidden genre.

That's right, it was because Miss Witch found out that she had misunderstood the professor, so there was no follow-up entanglement.

It's, it's not because I'm scared by the nightmare!

After watching Koizumi Hongzi's series of operations, Ruo Muliang felt like wanting to applaud on the spot.

Good guy, textbook tsundere, right?

"Then your aunt..."

Hongko Koizumi shook her head, "I haven't seen her, and I don't know where she went after she disappeared with the red magic stone. I only know that on February 40, 2 years ago, my mother suddenly inherited the inheritance that belonged to Aunt Ayako. The magic core became the new Scarlet Witch.

So Aunt Ayako must have died on that day. "

Ruo Muliang tapped the wooden table top of the bar with one hand. According to the original plot, 40 years ago, on the way to the small auction held in the Twilight Annex, two men who were soaked in the rain entered the room in the name of hiding from the rain. Went to the Twilight Annex.

Afterwards, the two men distributed suspected cigarettes to all the people who participated in the auction, and the people who participated in the auction, after smoking the cigarettes brought by the two men, all lost their minds and started killing each other. Turned the entire annex into a purgatory on earth.

But the question is, can it cause such an effect just by killing it?

"Let me make a bold guess. Is the purpose of this magic circle a sacrifice?"

It is known that 40 years ago, an inexplicable tragedy occurred in the Twilight Villa. Also 40 years ago, the previous generation of Scarlet Witch died suddenly.And in the Twilight Annex, the red magic stone that disappeared with Koizumi Ayako's death happened to be found, and there is also a red magic circle engraved inside the Annex.

In this way, the answer is obvious.

Koizumi Hongzi: "Well, although I have never used this magic circle, but if I read it correctly, the main function of this magic circle is to collect the soul and flesh and blood of the sacrificial victim, and there is a certain degree of out-of-control frenzy that comes with it. effect."

Ruo Muliang nodded, and after getting the information from Koizumi Hongzi for nothing, he immediately planned to get up and leave.

Koizumi Hongzi:? !

"Hey you……"

Ruo Muliang turned around and smiled gracefully.

"Miss Witch, you were entrusted by Phantom Thief Kidd to help you find the family heirloom gem. What does it have to do with me, a wild magician?"

Phantom Thief Kidd who was listening to the story happily:? !

No way, this can also drive me, professor, you really feel uncomfortable every time you don’t lie to me every time you play, don’t you?

The resentful Douzi met Koizumi Hongzi who had an even more resentful expression, and touched his nose with a guilty conscience.

"Well, Professor..."

Ruo Muliang patted Douzi's forehead: "Don't worry, although I can't resist the nuclear bomb temporarily, I can still find a way to get rid of the person holding the nuclear bomb.

Give me some time, Miss Witch, within a year, I will bring this gem back. "

Only then did Koizumi Hongzi heave a sigh of relief. Anyway, the Red Magic Stone has been missing for 40 years, so it's okay to wait another year.Consciously relieved, the witch left the bar with the empty check given by the professor.

Ruo Muliang looked at Koizumi Hongzi's back and smiled, there is nothing wrong with it, one year in Ke Xue's world is rounded up to [-] million years, right?

"Okay, let's send a notice."

Kuroba Kaito:?

"You don't want me to send an announcement letter to Hongzi's family, a gem that I don't know where it is yet?" Z.br>

Ruo Muliang stretched out his index finger and shook it slowly.

"I want you to issue a letter of challenge to famous detectives across the country and ask them to gather in the Twilight Annex."

Douzi: ...

I can't bear to think about challenging the famous detectives in the country. A lingering white horse detective and the elementary school students who refresh from time to time next door are enough!

"Although I can also post in your name, but I'm too lazy to think about puzzles."

Douzi: ...

Okay, it's the familiar professor's style of "choice without choice" again.
