Conan: The Second Personality of Kaitou Kidd

Chapter 56

Under the spotlight, the aged magician smiled. He waved his assistant up and made another gesture of pressing his right hand to his chest to salute.

He said politely: "It's a pity that Mr. Kidd, the strange thief, seemed a little timid and didn't show up."

He swayed behind him again, and pulled out a snow-white rabbit, giving a vivid example, "It's like a rabbit, isn't it? Wow, the colors are the same!"

The rabbit was all white, only its eyes were red. It hung its legs obediently, moved its three-petal mouth innocently, and its color was almost the opposite of the black suit worn by the old magician.

Mao Lilan: "!"

She looked at the rabbit that suddenly appeared, her eyes lit up.

Princess Anna also straightened her back in amazement, her eyes turned back and forth on the old magician several times.

The method is old-fashioned, but the effect clearly attracted the attention of the audience in the front row. The old magician smiled and put the rabbit on the ground, "Whether it is Kaitou Kidd or the rabbit, they will surrender to the real master tonight." !"

After landing, the rabbit moved, and it ran straight to Princess Anna's feet.

Princess Anna lowered her head in surprise, looked hesitantly at Belmode in her arms, and finally only touched the rabbit.

After simply flattering the protagonist, the old magician smiled and clapped his hands, "In order to celebrate the princess successfully guarding [Paris is sunny], I specially prepared a magic trick."

He started introducing the boxes.

The cold white light cast down and shrouded the old magician and the coffin-like box. Inexplicably, Mao Lilan was a little uneasy.

She turned her head involuntarily and looked at Saburo Inoue. Before she could speak, she felt someone approaching from behind.

The other party lowered his voice and muttered, "It's such an old-fashioned magic trick. I thought you weren't interested in this trick a year ago."

It's Kudo Shinichi.

Mao Lilan immediately turned around in surprise, and also lowered her voice, "Xinyi."

Immediately, he became angry from embarrassment, "Xinyi!"

She gestured to Saburo Inoue next to her with her eyes: there is a magician next to him, be careful what you say!

Kudo Shinichi rested his arm on the back of Mao Lilan's chair. He glanced at the distance between himself and Mao Lilan from the corner of his eye, and said nonchalantly, "The Kaitou Kidd is about to appear."

Mao Lilan immediately shifted his attention, "The Kaitou Kidd is about to appear? What did you find?"

"I didn't find anything," Kudo Shinichi shrugged. "But I guess, he will never allow anyone to be more dazzling than him. It's just a provocation. That guy can't stand it."

He listened to the introduction of the item box in front of him, and muttered: "Why is it still the same exaggerated introduction as before? What kind of box can only hold one person, what kind of knife is very heavy and sharp, and the mobilization of emotions is not as good as that of the magician a year ago. good."

In front.

After the old magician finished showing the prop box, he smiled and clapped his hands.

The college student magician immediately put the box on the ground. He bowed to the audience and said nervously, "I am your assistant this time. I will be in charge of 'cutting the box'."

"This is different from the usual 'big change to a living person'," the old magician said with a reserved smile. "Later, after my assistant finishes cutting, I will add a spare knife and invite the audience to cut."

"At that time, please don't panic, I am a magician, there will be no accidents, everyone should cut hard!"

He cheerfully added, "Of course, I'm a bad old man. I'm fine if I encounter an accident. Please rest assured that I have already purchased insurance. Even if something happens, my family will not have any major changes."

Nearly half of the people present were magicians, and most of them remained calm.Those viewers who are not magicians were a little disturbed when they heard the message of "may be in danger, I might die" faintly revealed by the old magician.

The old magician ignored those unmoved colleagues and focused on observing the normal audience. He waved cheerfully, turned around and lay down in the prop box.

College student magician covers the case.

He held the metal knife stuck on top of the box, looked up at the audience, and pressed down hard without hesitation.

The metal knife jammed only a third of the way in.

The next moment, a scream sounded, "Ah!"

Red liquid rose from the box, splashing the college student magician's face.

He was stunned, and looked down at the box in astonishment, "Uh, this..."

Some weak gasps of human beings could be heard from inside the box.

The audience was also taken aback, even the magicians were startled, and the surrounding police officers looked at the Duolun policeman, asking for instructions with uncertain eyes.

"Uh," the college student magician said dryly before Duolun policeman could speak, "I was taken aback."

He managed to stabilize his mind, and jokingly enlivened the suddenly tense atmosphere, "Teacher, you only said that it would be very 'realistic'. Don't tell me not to be so scared that I would resign on the spot. You never said that you would splatter my face with blood!"

This sentence is the truth.

The college student magician didn't know many things about this magic trick, and the old magician didn't tell him all the tricks, but only told him 'it will be very realistic' and 'don't stop no matter what happens'.

The splash and panting must have been part of the plan, right?
He tentatively licked the liquid around his mouth, licking a bit of fishy sweetness, then bit the bullet and continued to press down on the metal knife while continuing to enliven the atmosphere, "Will you splash my face again? Then Be sure to ask me to step down and change my clothes."

No more blood splatters.

Because the knife didn't penetrate much at all, it seemed as if it had cut some hard bone, and it couldn't go any further, only the low and weak screams from the box continued on and on.

In the auditorium, someone suddenly asked in a low voice: "Is there blood on the ground?"

A red liquid is seeping from the bottom of the box.

The college student magician subconsciously lowered his head when he heard the sound, only to belatedly realize that a small pool of blood had gathered under his feet.

His facial muscles twitched, his hands became numb, and he whispered unconsciously: "Old, teacher?"

There was a murmured response from inside the box, "Trash!"

call.

Hearing this scolding, the college student magician immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, okay."

He raised his voice again, and according to the plan, he 'talked to himself' to intimidate the audience, "It seems to be stuck to the bone, let's change to a knife."

As he spoke, he let go of the first metal knife, held the second metal knife, and pressed it down violently again.

Another stream of liquid splashed out, and a strong fishy smell spread around. The college student magician turned his head away in time, letting the liquid splash on his shoulders.

He pretended to press, and once again felt the very real "knife stuck in the bone" feeling, the feeling was so real that he hesitated to speak out.

"teacher?"

A voice came from the box, "Trash!"

"Sorry," the college student magician immediately apologized, and he slashed hard for the third time, "The third knife!"

Panting, he looked up at the auditorium.

The auditorium was shrouded in darkness, and faces with no specific expressions were looking at him.

"Old, teacher," the college student magician looked at the darkness, felt the touch of his hand, he swallowed, "this, this feeling, why is it so real, it feels like that of Inoue..."

A voice came from the box, interrupting his words, exactly the same as the previous two times, even the ups and downs of the tone, "Trash!"

The college magician froze.

He trembled and said, "Teacher?"

A few seconds later, a voice came from the box as always, "Trash!"
