Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 156 The Demon of Light (Three in One)

Hongzi Koizumi, did you drop out of school?

Or is it the same as when it came, coming and going suddenly, without bringing half maturity when it comes, and not taking half a cloud when it leaves?

He squatted every day, staring at the teacher with twinkling eyes, watching the teacher's briefings to Kaito Kuroba, who was sincerely puzzled by this matter.

He shook his voice: "Did you scare her away!"

He condemned, "How can you scare girls, it's too much, look, let them run away!"

He scratched the table and wailed, "Damn it, aren't you in a hurry, if she runs away, our mirror will be gone!"

Thousands of words merged into one sentence: hateful witch!

Witches are indeed evil beings, why don't you just walk by the mirror beside you if you have nothing to do, isn't the name of [Kuroba Kaito] written on it as a stamp, so you can just do whatever you want?

Bai Shui: "..."

Koizumi Hongzi is not here, but today's magic sound is still in my ears, which is gratifying.

congratulations.

He pressed the pause button to stop the magic sound for a short time, "The witch is a teammate of 'Kidd the Phantom Thief', and it is impossible for her to leave."

... of it?
Nothing terrible happened that day, did it?You won't be changing schools, will you?
Baishui didn't seriously threaten the witch, and put his finger on Koizumi Hongzi's neck in the middle of it calmly, but finally moved away.

"Really?" Kaito Kuroba was suspicious, "Your tone seems a little uncertain?"

After hoping for the stars, looking forward to the moon, and looking forward to grabbing the witch by the collar and forcing her to hand over the mirror, Koizumi Hongzi finally appeared.

She walked up to Kaito Kuroba from the crowd.

The corridor after class was bustling with students in uniform, most of them were walking with their companions, talking, laughing or fighting with each other, but no one noticed her.

Important point: no one noticed Hongzi Koizumi.

She lowered her head halfway, her long black and red hair drooped like wine, and half of her white nose was exposed. She stopped in front of Kaito Kuroba, "Hello."

Miss Witch is beautiful.

Pretty enough to easily amaze the eyes of a group of high school students, she raised her head, raised her chin again, and pressed her lips tightly, "Are you looking for me?"

Still no one around looked at her.

Even the way she stubbornly raised her chin was beautiful.

Kaito Kuroba's first reaction was: The guy who stole the mirror finally appeared!
The second reaction is: how come there are no crowds flocking here?
The third reaction was: "Are you Koizumi Hongzi?"

He carefully identified Koizumi Hongzi's appearance, and confirmed that it was indeed Koizumi Hongzi, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

There is just one problem, there seems to be something wrong with Koizumi Hongzi's eyes, as if she hasn't slept well for a few days, there is a touch of black under her eyes, and the end of her eyes is also a little red.

And: "Hey, why didn't everyone respond, don't you know magic..."

"Hey!" Koizumi Koiko pursed her lips, interrupting Kuroba Kaito, "You are looking for me."

In the past, when she was proud, this lady witch would stare into the eyes of the person she was talking to. Even if she was shorter than the person she was talking to, it still had a kind of arrogance that looked down on the person she was talking to.

But now, her gaze is not on Kuroba Kaito's eyes, but on Kuroba Kaito's neckline.

From the moment she appeared, Koizumi Koko kept looking at Kuroba Kaito's neckline.

Her eyelashes drooped obliquely, like reddish crow feathers, leaving patchy shadows when they fluttered nervously.

Kuroba Kaito: "?"

Kuroba Kaito squatted down puzzled, and took the initiative to meet Koizumi Koko's eyes, "Yes, I'm looking for you, I want to ask you..."

Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by Hongzi Koizumi.

After staring at each other off guard, Koizumi Hongko's first reaction was to stare at Kuroba Kaito fiercely, then looked away in embarrassment as if she had been bitten, and said in a muffled voice, "I see!"

"You want to know if the prophecy is correct?"

Kuroba Kaito: "?"

"She's afraid of me?" He corrected Bai Shui, "No, she's afraid of you."

Bai Shui seems to have a good temper, but it only 'looks' when he first met and was not familiar with. He is not a person who is indifferent to a big scar when someone peeps at him.

However, he was indifferent.

Probably because there was a revenge on the spot, Kuroba Kaito pretended not to know anything happened, and happily passed by with his eyes closed.

Being revenged, Koizumi Hongzi's reaction is normal.

...Now that you don't even dare to look at each other, is your reaction too big? !
Kaito Kuroba was full of question marks, "How did you scare him?"

Bai Shui: "..."

How can this be.

During the few seconds of their short conversation, Koizumi Hongko was waiting quietly, she glanced over quietly, guessing that Kaito Kuroba must be talking to Bai Shui about her abnormality, she ground her teeth, snorted, and continued to wait.

Wait for them to finish talking.

Kuroba Kaito remained tactically silent for more than ten seconds, pretending to be talking and looking at Koizumi Hongko, and found that she was really waiting for them to finish their answer.

"What prophecy?" He looked around, "I didn't expect that you, who have always been the focus of vision, would enter the invisible state of vision."

Koizumi Hongzi glared at him again.

This response is wrong.

Kuroba paused for a moment, "Didn't you do it voluntarily?"

That's right, how could a witch with a flamboyant personality voluntarily remain silent.

He blurted out, "Your magic..."

Koizumi Hongzi stared wildly, and interrupted loudly: "I am voluntary!"

"My magic didn't fail!"

She seemed to be a fire-breathing dragon, spewing lava and flames like a volcanic eruption, "I didn't shed tears!!!"

"How could you lose your magic!"

Every sentence is embellished with a heavy exclamation point.

Kuroba Kaito: "..."

Kuroba Kaito looked up at the angry fire-breathing dragon, "Why, why is everyone angry like this?"

The same is true when Aoko Nakamori is angry, but it is even more terrifying, a fire-breathing dragon that will breathe fire while waving a broom.

And, "Will the witch lose her magic when she sheds tears?"

He got the point.

And I began to recall Hongzi Koizumi on the tower: her eyes were red, and there were crystal clear teardrops swirling in the eye sockets, which might flow down at any time.

He was also pecked by the crow and turned his head and ran away.

Koizumi Hongzi: "Yes!"

She emphasized, "But I didn't cry, no!"

"I don't use magic, I just, just don't want to!"

Using heart-beating magic will remind her of Fu Jiang.

Fu Jiang is just a boring character conceived by a boring writer. He is a character created by human beings. As a witch, Koizumi Hongzi dismisses it.

……

Until she closed her eyes, she unconsciously fantasized that she was surrounded by people who wanted to be with her forever, that she was bitten off of flesh and blood, and that she worked hard to grow and interweave dense black hair and beautiful hair in each warm belly. good cheeks.

Every minute and every second, there will be a Koizumi Hongzi who is accepting love, tasting the crazy fermented madness, falling apart in love, and using the only pieces of meat on the chopping board, in the pot, and in the meat grinder. With a smile, in the rapid intertwining of flesh and blood, she grew back into a witch with long wine red hair.

This is Fu Jiang's treatment.

Every time she closed her eyes, Koizumi Hongzi screamed and opened her eyes, and quickly checked whether her body was intact, and then quickly uttered a dirty word that she knew nothing about herself.

Not only that, even when she was not asleep, but lying on the soft bed in the dark, she felt a little restless.

The soft mattress and the quilt covering her neck always reminded her of the feeling of being trapped by white water in the cabinet, and the hand that seemed to be placed on her neck inadvertently.

Witches are extremely perceptive.

They are born with heavenly favor, can miraculously intuit things, and can smell danger.

Koizumi Hongzi was sure that at that moment, she smelled the smell of death.

"Really?" Kuroba Kaito placed the question, "I came to you to ask you something, you are a new generation of witches, right?"

"How is the previous generation of witches doing now?"

The previous generation of witches?
Koizumi Koko felt a little baffled, she turned her face slightly and gave Kuroba Kaito a look, "Of course he's not here anymore."

Kuroba Kaito asked without pause, "Then her relic should be with you?"

"There are not many relics of the witch," Koizumi Hongzi became vigilant. "Humans can't play their full role, and maybe they will be backlashed. Only the witch can fully control it."

She gritted her teeth as if glaring at a burglar, "Don't even think about it!"

A few seconds later, he quickly added another question in a low voice, "Well, you, what do you want?"

A thief who breaks into a house is abominable and deserves to be beaten, but the thief is holding a knife, what can she, a weak and pitiful witch, do?

He could only stare at the thief reluctantly.

Kuroba Kaito paused speechlessly, "I'm not interested in the witch's treasure."

He cut the mess quickly, "Among the relics, is there a mirror?"

"A mirror topped with a ruby?"

Mirror?

Koizumi Hongzi was surprised, "Yes."

"But there is no ruby ​​set on the top."

Her expression became weird, "The function is also very single. At most, I will praise that I am beautiful. I am the most beautiful woman in the world. All men will fall in love with me."

The tone also became cautious, "You, you want to be praised too?"

Really unbelievable.

"But, that mirror," Koizumi Koko looked up at Kaito Kuroba, she met the eyes that didn't frighten her now, then moved away immediately, with a lower voice, "broken."

Her voice continued to decrease, and gradually became like a mosquito screaming, "It said that all men will fall in love with me, except Kaitou Kidd, when I get angry, I just..."

Just dropped the mirror.

Even if he hadn't slammed the mirror in anger at that time, Hongzi Koizumi would have slammed it again after having Fu Jiang's dream for several nights in a row.

Just like many human beings who know that there are no supernatural events in the world, but still fear supernatural events at certain moments.

Koizumi Hongzi knows that there is no Fu Jiang in the world, and she will never become Fu Jiang, let alone be dismembered by humans who are obsessed with her, but she still obeys her heart and involuntarily breaks the magic of love at first sight on her body.

This is called following your heart.

Kaito Kuroba also followed his heart, and a string of ellipsis popped up above his head, "..."

"Broken?!"

"Yes," Koizumi Hongzi replied, "and there is no ruby ​​inlaid on it at all, it's just a boastful mirror. What do you want a mirror for?"

Don't have ruby ​​yet? !
"Wait, are we talking about the same mirror?" Kaito Kuroba sped up his speech, "Eight or nine years ago, the previous generation of witches took a mirror from the depths of Peace Forest Park. It is half a person tall, with a ruby ​​inlaid on the top, which has magical functions, like a channel that can connect to other worlds."

Koizumi Hongzi captured the key words: eight or nine years ago, Peace Forest Park.

The mirror she shattered was indeed taken from the Forest of Peace Park by the previous generation of witches, and it was exactly eight or nine years ago.

However, there is no ruby ​​inlaid on the mirror, which is different from what Kuroba Kaito said?

"The time and place match, we're talking about the same mirror," she turned around, "but I've never seen a ruby, and there's nothing but an argyle at the top of the mirror,"

And, "Able to connect to other worlds? How is it possible!"

"How can there be items that can be connected to other worlds, even the most powerful witch can't do it!"

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Hongzi Koizumi widened her eyes, "To connect the world, homologous objects must be used as a medium. Homologous objects must be things that exist in both worlds and have the same essence. It also depends on the right time, place and people."

"The most important thing is that there must be precious treasures that can bear the power of two worlds in the eyes of the array."

"It is written in the "Book of Witches" that more than a dozen witches tried to connect to the world, but all of them failed without exception!"

The witches have failed, how can mere humans do it, impossible!

Kuroba Kaito's heart moved slightly, "The same source,"

"Can it be human?" he asked.

can.

Koizumi Hongzi stopped abruptly.

She reacted, her face turned blue and black, with mixed flavors like an overturned palette, "You, you are not mentally ill."

"That scary guy is not your sub-personality, it's 'you'."

It is the 'Kuroba Kaito' of another world, the 'homologue'.

how is this possible……

She was so shocked that she lost her voice, she reacted again, and quickly denied, "Impossible, that mirror is not a precious treasure, it can't be a 'bridge' connecting the world, and you mean it was reunited eight years ago?"

"The two worlds have overlapped for at least eight years, and they will definitely merge slowly."

There will be problems in the communication between the two worlds.

It was okay at first, it was just a small-scale coincidence, and at the coincidence point, someone might see another world.

After that, the coincidence increases, and you don't just see another world, but you can enter it.

Of course, only very few people with high spiritual sense can see and enter.

In the next step, normal people with ordinary spiritual sense can also enter.

After eight years of overlap, the two worlds will stick together and slowly merge into one world. At the point of overlap, the scene of another world will appear, and it will be squeezed together with the current world, and will never disappear again.

but! Yes!
Koizumi Hongzi has never seen the scene of the fusion of the world, nor has she had an intuition.

"So," Kaito Kuroba quickly grasped the point, "Witches can sense?"

... No wonder there is a witch passing by and walking by that mirror.

Of course the mirror is not a precious treasure, the precious treasure is Pandora, why Pandora disappeared!
Koizumi Hongzi also realized this:
Witches are not garbage pickers, and they don't take other people's mirrors casually. Based on the information disclosed by Kaito Kuroba, it is likely that the witches of the previous generation had an intuition and stole the mirror.

When the mirror leaves, the magic circle loses its eyes, and its operation is also suspended. The communication between the two worlds is interrupted, and there is no overlap.

She and Kuroba Kaito looked at each other.

"There is no such thing as a witch helping humans open a magic circle in the "Book of Witches." Koizumi Hongzi's face changed color like a palette again, "You two are just ordinary fragile humans, without the help of a witch , how could it be possible to really connect the two worlds?"

"The requirements for a world-class magic circle are very strict, not only for precision, but also for 'timing'."

Not just the weather, but luck.

For a world-class magic array, the material of the array map is of course not the material of an ordinary magic array, but a part of the world, such as trees, hillsides, and heavy snow.

These are all materials that can form a magic circle.

Therefore, to arrange a world-class magic formation, luck is very important. Once luck is not so good, it is very likely that there will be a bloody thing like "the heavy snow fell 1 minute late, and the formation failed."

"The Witch's Book" records the blood spewed out by many witches. Even witches are so difficult to deploy world-class magic. How can ordinary humans do it?

Moreover, how old was Kaito Kuroba eight years ago?How could it be possible to arrange a world-class magic circle.

...Could it be a natural magic circle?

Koizumi Hongzi: "Impossible!"

She glared at Heiyu Kaito, and immediately looked away, "Don't think that I will turn pale with fright if you say something, and doubt life and your talent as a witch."

"I'm the most talented witch in all ages, I can't even do it, let alone you two ordinary weak humans!"

Oops, the map cannon hit that scary guy.

Koizumi Hongzi immediately diverted her attention, she stretched out her hand and scratched in the air a few times, drawing light marks, and pulled out a magic book from the light marks with great effort.

Because of too much force, he staggered back a few steps.

Kaito Kuroba immediately turned his head to observe the others.

The other students didn't respond as if they didn't see it, they were chatting and laughing on their own, ignoring Kuroba Kaito and Koizumi Hongko, and even ignoring the gleaming magic book.

Koizumi Hongzi flipped through the book casually, and she said clearly: "World magic that can communicate with another world!"

The magic book in mid-air flipped automatically without wind.

Ten seconds later, the flipping stopped abruptly, and the half-open magic book rolled up in the air, revealing the page it just turned.

That page was very much like a note, a whole page divided into three paragraphs, each with a different handwriting and written by a different person.

But the format is the same.

They all start with a string of red numbers, followed by black time and place, and the names of some forests and mountains. At the end, there is a blank line, and red appears again: [Failure].

Koizumi Hongzi took a hasty glance, then continued to reach out and turn back, through more than a dozen pages in a row, and found the last page of relevant records amidst a sea of ​​black and red.

The last page is left by the previous witch.

The format of the previous witch was very special. The red number was written at the beginning to indicate which generation she was, but the writing below was blue.

Kaito Kuroba saw a place: [Peace Forest Park].

Koizumi Hongzi's finger was on the page, it skimmed over countless handwriting, and moved to the last line of red writing: [Failure].

"Failed?" Kaito Kuroba stared at the red writing, "Did it fail like the other examples?"

How could it be a failure?

The second after he opened his mouth to speak, the red [failure] flickered a few times, and silently melted into a puddle of red.

Red filled the blank space at the bottom of the page, and new handwriting was outlined: [This is the witch's failure! ! ! 】

[How can there be a human being who can complete world-class magic!How can it be! 】

【blablabla】

The angry red writing densely filled the blank part of the page, Kuroba Kaitogen heard the roar.

he:"……"

Koizumi Hongzi: "..."

The air was silent.

Koizumi Hongzi stared at the first line of red writing for a long time: 【This is the failure of the witch! ! ! 】

He moved his gaze down again, and looked at the last line: [Those two children are the natural enemies of the witch! 】

Without thinking, Koizumi Koko understood that he was referring to Kuroba Kaito and Shirazumi.

Her hand, pressing the pages of the book, trembled slightly.

God, natural enemies.

One witch certification 'You are the witch's natural enemy' is proof that the witch in question was almost crying in fright, and her professional ability is a bit weak, but two witch certifications 'You are the witch's natural enemy', what does this mean?
It means that this guy is indeed the natural enemy of the witch!
It shows that being almost driven crazy and being scared to cry is not just Koizumi Hongzi's problem!
She closed her eyes, retracted her finger tremblingly, reached out to grab the magic book again, and closed it, "Kuroba Kaito, Baishui."

"No, it's 'Phantom Thief Kidd'."

Acknowledge your fate, yes, she is the natural enemy of the witch, isn't it normal for me as a witch to be helpless? 'After that, everything suddenly became clear.

It wasn't the witch who was wrong, who made the witch have natural enemies, failure does not mean that she is a waste, it is normal.

Once accepting this setting, Koizumi Hongzi quickly forgave herself for being embarrassed, and she said: "Next Monday, you have to act, right?"

"do not go."

She still didn't look at Kaito Kuroba, but looked at the window.

The sun shines on her face through the window, like the brilliant light of fireworks after fading. She rolled her eyes, reached out and touched the light of firework on her face, the memory seemed to freeze for a moment, and slowly put down.

"dangerous."

"Before I take revenge, I don't want you two nasty guys to die."

Koizumi Hongzi lowered her eyelashes, and she sang in a low voice, which belonged to a witch who spoke a prophecy. Her mysterious and charming voice echoed in the corridor, and she felt a sense of destiny coming from afar.

"When the ancient tower that tells the time rings for the [-]th time, the Demon of Light will descend from the eastern sky to destroy the white sinners."
