Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 25 My father, is he a thief?
Kuroba Kaito's tone was too arrogant and casual, it didn't seem like he was saying 'I'm not Kaitou Kidd anyway', but rather like he was saying 'You are so embarrassed, how did you have the courage to pretend to be Kaitou Kidd? '.

Konosuke Terai narrowed his eyes. Hearing the somewhat familiar arrogant tone, he carefully looked at the slender figure of the white figure opposite him. As soon as he thought about it, he immediately said as if he was angry: "Really? Hehe, then you Come and see the magic!"

He pulled up the white cloak to cover most of his body, and then opened it violently.

It's just a cover-up. From a visual point of view, two-thirds of Terai Konosuke's body is suddenly lost. Only the head, two hands with white gloves and the white cloak are still there, and the body and limbs are still there. It's like they just disappeared out of thin air.

Kuroba Kaito's eyes narrowed.

It was pitch black on the rooftop, and the wind howled past, making the white cloaks of the two of them rattle.

"How about it?" Terai Konosuke moved his two remaining hands, "This magic is superb enough!"

He looked to the opposite side, and found that the figure who was also swaying the white cloak and wearing the white curved-eyed mask did not move, and he seemed to be standing there as if nothing had happened, looking at Terai Konosuke calmly.

Konosuke Terai narrowed his eyes again, he moved his wrist, and a shard of silver glass slipped out of his sleeve.

He laughed and rushed towards the white face opposite, "Aren't you too scared to move? Brat!"

The white figure still didn't move.

It wasn't until Konosuke Terai was about to pounce on him that he sighed helplessly, "Oh, there's really no way."

"It's just the most basic mirror image magic!"

With that said, he also rushed towards Terai Konosuke.

"This kind of magic trick is actually shown proudly. It's really... Even children will laugh out loud when they see it, hahahahaha!"

The two snow-white figures merged together, overlapped and stopped for a second, then quickly crossed and passed, and stopped at the original position of the other party.

'what? ! '

Terai Konosuke's hand was empty, and the glass shards disappeared. He turned his head in surprise, "You...!"

At his original position, the white figure also turned around and looked over.

It's really a 'U-turn'.

The head of the upper body of the white shadow suddenly fell back and fell, like the most classic split-action death method in horror movies.The head landed on the ground, rolled heavily a few times, and made a slight continuous 'bang' sound, like a child hitting a basketball.

During the rolling process, the white mask rolled to the ground, revealing a somewhat stiff face that would cause the uncanny valley effect.

Konosuke Terai's gaze froze for a few seconds on the tumbling head before looking at the body of the white figure in horror.

He saw another head.

The 'hands' of the 'upper part' of the white figure stand straight towards the sky, while the 'legs' of the 'lower part' show hands, with five fingers stretched across the ground, in the 'lower part' Between his 'legs', a head wearing a white top hat looked over.

……

The head that fell to the ground just now was fake, a kind of dummy magic.It is a magic trick in which a magician stands on his head, puts a dummy head between his legs, makes the legs disguise as hands, hands disguise as legs, and hides the real head.

Once the audience is convinced that the exposed fake head is real, the magician can play something like 'separate action' to scare the audience.

Konosuke Terai reacted slowly, and his frightened mood subsided a little.

"Put a mirror on your body, let the mirror surface reflect the surrounding scenes, and achieve the effect of 'visual invisibility'. It's an ancient technique," Kaito Kuroba stood on his head, and he asked curiously, "With so many Mirror action, isn't it heavy?"

"No wonder you were so out of breath just now."

Kuroba Kaito turned over from the inverted state, and pushed his right eye wearing a monocle with his hand, stabilizing the dangling triangular four-leaf clover pendant.

He looked around Konosuke Terai for a few times, like turning a pen, casually turning the extra glass shards in his hand, "Wow, do you want to scratch my mask with glass?"

"It's a pity that the action is too obvious. I can only paddle you. I'm very sorry."

It wasn't until this moment that Terai Konosuke's white mask seemed to have reacted slowly, and a crack appeared in the middle, which slammed open together with the mirror on his body.

Shards of the mirror were scattered all over the place.

Konosuke Terai kept turning his head, and he stood there in a daze.

He was not stunned because the mirror magic was seen through, nor was he stunned because his mask was scratched, nor was he stunned because the mirror was completely shattered, nor was he stunned because of the "separate action" scene in the particularly scary movie just now of.

It was because of Kuroba Kaito's face.

Kuroba Kaito only wears a monocle, his face can be seen at a glance, his black hair and blue eyes are shining, coupled with his snow-white dress, he is almost 100% similar to Kuroba Kaito.

Coupled with the arrogant, energetic, and particularly hateful tone just now, his identity is self-evident.

So, after being stunned for a few seconds, Terai Konosuke rushed up decisively, "Master!!!"

"It's really you, Master Kaito!" He hugged Kuroba Kaito tightly, "I just thought it was my own illusion, you are so old, Master!"

Kuroba Kaito: "???"

Kuroba Kaito shook his shoulders to relieve the goosebump feeling of being suddenly hugged by a stranger, "You, you are?"

He carefully looked at Terai Konosuke's face, his eyes passed over the bald head, the gray sideburns on both sides, the gray brows and beard in turn, and finally took a quick glance at the teary eyes, and immediately looked away.

...It looks like a grandfather who is about 60 or [-] years old, making a sad expression with tears in his eyes is really unacceptable.

Kuroba Kaito coughed again, looked over again, and continued to look at this somewhat familiar old face, he asked in doubt, "Are you... Grandpa Terai?"

Terai Konosuke and Kuroba Kaito knew this person and knew that he was his father's assistant, but after the magic accident eight years ago, he never saw each other again.

"Yes!" Konosuke Terai nodded quickly, "You still remember me."

He tightened his hand, grabbed Kuroba Kaito and looked him up and down, and said with relief and sadness: "I haven't seen you for eight years, and you have grown up. If the master hadn't been killed..."

Kaito Kuroba immediately grasped the point, "Killed?"

"Didn't my father disappear because of a magical accident?!"

"Don't you know?" Terai Konosuke was even more surprised. He looked at Kuroba Kaito's outfit and hesitated, "That, that..."

Then he didn't want to talk to Kuroba Kaito about it.

Since Kaito Kuroba didn't know, it means that his parents didn't tell him about it. This must have been considered, or it was a tricky plan. Terai Konosuke was afraid that he might disrupt the plan by explaining it in detail.

Kaito Kuroba, who saw through Konosuke Terai's thoughts at a glance: "..."

He thought about the 'Phantom Thief news that is in the limelight', 'the secret room that just opened', 'the radio that just happened to be damaged', 'the clean Phantom Thief suit', and 'an unexpected visitor', and fell into silence with difficulty.

Forget it, it might be a pit.

Kaito Kuroba skipped this section, and immediately, he took a deep breath and said seriously: "Before that, I want to ask one thing."

He stared closely at Terai Konosuke's eyes, his heartbeat began to beat rapidly, causing his chest to vibrate violently, "My father,"

"—Is it Phantom Thief Kid?"

Kuroba Pirates, the father whom Kuroba Kaito admires and admires, the world-renowned genius magician, is he really a thief?
