Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Jiang Xia looked at the cat that flew over and hit the smoke: "..."

   He lifted the fluttering cat ghost away and glanced down at the cigarette in his hand.

   After being hit by the foggy dog ​​just now, the paper roll of the cigarette changed from white to black, and there was a circle of wings on the cigarette butt.

   And now, after hitting the cat, the paper roll also turned from white to black, and the extra on the cigarette **** became a simple cat paw print.

   Jiang Xia looked at the smoke, then at the humanoid ghost beside him, and sighed.

Before   , he was worried that something strange would be synthesized. Now it seems that he just thinks too much--a ghost in human form doesn't seem to be able to combine with this strange new smoke.

   Although not in line with the intended experimental purpose. However, it's all done...

   Jiang Xia stared at the burning smoke, observed for a moment, cautiously approached, and took a sip.

  The paper shikigami flew out, and his body changed immediately—the sounds around him suddenly became clear, and he even heard the crawling sound of insects on the wall outside.

  …

  Jiangxia briefly adapts to the new senses.

   Then he remembered something, raised his hand and touched the top of his head, and found, unsurprisingly, that there were a pair of furry ears there.

  "..." He lowered his hand and touched his face again, touching normal human skin.

   Looking down, his body is still a normal human body. The only thing that's wrong is probably the extra cat ears.

   Jiang Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's not a human head and a cat body, or a cat head body..."

   In the past, he used to drive the cat vest to patrol the streets, and he accepts the changes well. And this time, he was already prepared, and he was no longer as shocked as when he suddenly discovered a pair of wings behind him.

   However, some ghosts do not seem to accept this.

  The mermaid swung its tail, swam to Jiang Xia's side, and looked at his head in a circle.

   After a while, she showed a look of disgust at the pair of cat ears, turned around and floated away.

   But just after it floated out not too far, a long tail brush curled up, passing a phantom in the air. With a hook on the tip of the tail, the mermaid was wrapped around the waist and pulled back to Jiang Xia.

  "!!" The mermaid was startled, and after regaining her senses, she flapped her tail angrily and protested.

   "Increase the sense of hearing and smell, plus a tail for catching fish..." Jiang Xia muttered, and the tip of the tail suddenly went numb. Looking back, I saw the mermaid baring its teeth, holding the tip of its tail and biting hard.

  "..." Really a fiery fish, Jiang Xia changed his words perfunctorily, "Okay, a tail that is convenient for maintaining balance."

  ... Besides, there seems to be something else.

  …

  Jiang Xia didn't care about the fluttering fish anymore, he looked down at his hand before the effect of "Cat Brand Cigarette" dissipated.

   is still a pair of normal hands, and it looks no different from usual.

   Jiang Xia stared at his fingers, studied for a moment, and flicked his wrist according to his intuition.

   A flower suddenly appeared in front of him, and a few sharp phantoms flashed.

When    stopped, he saw five more sharp claws on the fingertips—transparent, slightly curved sharp blades, sticking to the fingers like an exoskeleton, extending from the knuckles.

   Twisted his fingers slightly, the light of the bedside lamp slid on the blade edge, the cold light was piercing, and the hair was blown and broken.

   Jiang Xia: "!"

   He admired this strange new weapon at the light, and immediately pulled out a hair with his other hand, placed it across the claw blade, and blew it hard.

The    hair was bent by the wind, slipped between the two claw blades, and fell to the ground faintly.

  “…”

   Jiang Xia was silent for a while.

   Then, in the curious onlookers of the ghosts, he calmly said: "...Normal, the cat's claws actually only have sharp tips, so they can't be used as knives."

  The ghosts seem to understand but not understand. But they looked up and glanced at Jiang Xia's expression at this time, and nodded their heads with a strong desire to survive. Gu Hong

  …

   Jiang Xia finished fooling the ghost, and looked down at the cool claw knife in his hand.

   After hesitating for a moment, I felt that what I just said was actually quite reasonable—the paw looks so powerful, it couldn’t be really just decoration.

   After thinking for a while, he got up without giving up, went down to the kitchen, rummaged through the deserted kitchen, and took out a pressing stone.

This is when I went to the flower and bird market to buy potted plants, and I saw the stone that I brought back along the way. I originally planned to use it to press the pot when picking pickles, but because he could go to the next door to eat rice, he was too lazy to make his own pickles. Useless.

   But now, this stone has other uses.

  Jiang Xia flicked his wrist and re-launched the claw knife he had just put away, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his hand and stabbed it.

   There was a muffled sound, and the five sharp claws, like piercing tofu, easily stabbed into the stone.

When    retracted his hand, there were several transparent holes in the hard bluestone.

  "..." Wonderful.

   Jiang Xia weighed the stone, felt its hardness, and estimated the power of the new weapon, and felt comfortable.

   It happened that the effect of that puff of cigarette disappeared, and the part of the body that did not belong to the human body re-turned into a shikigami and flew back to the tattoo space.

  Jiang Xia glanced at the burnt out cigarette in his hand admiringly, put away the mist that it burned, and stored it in the tattoo space. The ash is shaken into the trash can.

   Finally, he disposed of the stone, washed his hands, and returned to the bedroom.

  …

  Originally, it was time for healthy people to go to bed.

   But Jiang Xia remembered the wonderful new equipment, and after thinking about it, he couldn't fall asleep. He finally lifted the quilt and caught Noah, who was trapped in a pool.

   He lit an ordinary ghost mint, trying to create that peculiar "white mist".

   However, after researching for a long time, it was unsuccessful in the end - this kind of "mist" made of murderous aura seems to be able to be successfully separated through a complex operation of running the consciousness space. It was just ordinary feeding, which failed to achieve the effect Jiang Xia wanted. After a whole cigarette was fed, Noah was still a crystal ball with no impurities inside.

   "Forget it, try again later..."

   After tossing for a long time to no avail, Jiang Xia finally gave up.

   He carefully put away the remaining two "white fog" cigarettes, temporarily gave up research, and turned off the lights to sleep.

  …

  The high school students who finished playing the game soon fell into a deep sleep.

   But on the other side of the bustling city, someone could not sleep at all.

  …

   Residential area near Toto University.

  In a pitch-dark apartment, Subaru Okiya walked around silently, occasionally peering out through the gap in the curtains, waiting with bated breath for something.

   After a while, there was a sudden noise on the balcony.

  "!" Okiya Subaru held a gun unfamiliarly and looked over vigilantly.

   Seeing who was coming, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he silently waved over there: Mr. Akai!

  …

  Akai Shuichi avoided the surveillance of the apartment and the surrounding area and entered the house of his accomplice.

   He quickly checked the room and found no eavesdropping equipment, so he stopped and turned to Subaru Okiya.
