Kidd's heart was filled with turmoil.
He was sweating coldly, thinking about how to escape. At this moment, after absorbing the magic power, the monster behind him tried to knock him with those sharp thorns.
Finding that there seemed to be no extra magic power, Miss Spider stopped her movements with some dissatisfaction.
"..."
Although the magic power he had accumulated for a long time was gone again, Kuroba Kaito looked at the few sharp thorns that did not continue to poke his vital parts, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - at least for now, this monster seems to be just
I want to gather some magic power, but I have no intention of eating a feast of human flesh.
The newly appeared monster did not take action, but Kidd's curiosity couldn't help but become more intense.
He originally wanted to turn around and take a peek at this monster he had never seen before. But out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the spikes pressing against his body, and he suddenly felt that these things looked familiar - they were like eight enlarged spider legs.
Kuroba Kaito: "..." Wait a minute, the thing behind him must be a scary big furry spider. When he turns around, it will stare at him with eight eyes, and then open its bloody mouth and take a bite.
The kind that bites his head off.
Thinking of the spider that was enlarged to look like a human, Kuroba Kaito shuddered silently and silently stopped turning his head.
He tried to communicate: "Well, actually I am also a good friend of Jiang Xia! You see, I just rescued him from the clutches of that beautiful aunt!"
I don’t know if this passage played a role, or if it was for some other reason.
The next moment, with a slight rustling sound, those dangerous spikes were actually retracted.
Kuroba Kaito: "..." Jiang Xia's name is so useful among monsters?
Or was the big spider already full and retreating on its own?
Thinking like this, he finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and couldn't help but look back.
However, there was an empty alley behind him, and the monster left without knowing when.
Kuroba Kaito blankly adjusted the hole in his collar, and suddenly thought of something.
He turned around quickly and saw Jiang Xia on the chair opening her eyes, seeming to have woken up from her drunken state.
Kuroba Kaito: "..." What a coincidence? Jiang Xia woke up just after the spider left?
No, from a logical point of view, it is more likely to be the other way around - as soon as Jiang Xia woke up, the monster left.
Kuroba Kaito: "..." So, that scary big spider really didn't look good. Maybe it didn't want Jiang Xia to see it, so it hurried away... Fortunately, he didn't look back just now.
.But thinking about it on the other hand, such a shy monster seems quite cute. Maybe I should look back just now?
He looked at Jiang Xia on the bench and had a lot of questions about monsters. But remembering that he was still wearing Kudo Yusaku's skin. Out of dedication to pretending to be who he was, Kuroba Kaito reluctantly suppressed it.
Those question marks.
He pushed up the thin-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose and showed a gentle smile belonging to an elder: "Long time no see."
Jiang Xia: "..."
…
the other side.
After the brief conversation between "Usa" and Okiya Subaru ended.
Okiya Subaru solved a life-long event and sighed with mixed feelings.
No matter what impact this decision will have on his future, in short, now, he breathed a sigh of relief for a long time - without the terrible cases brought by Uzo, Okiya Subaru now really has something to live for.
It feels like you don’t have to worry about being involved in a murder case in the next step, and then turning into a corpse that has been brutally affected, or a suspect wanted by the police.
But after leaving the bar, I walked through several crowded night market streets on my way to a place where I could get a taxi.
Okiya Subaru's originally relaxed mood suddenly became tense due to certain information.
Okiya Subaru: "..." I always felt that some of the people walking towards him would look at a certain angle behind him, as if there was an eye-catching person following him there.
It's just like this on one street, so it can still be interpreted as a convenient way. But now he has changed his trajectory several times, and it's like this on every street...
A terrible thought suddenly popped up, and Subaru Okiya's heart skipped a beat - maybe he was being followed.
Snap.
Okiya Subaru's watch seemed to have been unbuckled and fell to the ground.
He turned around to pick it up, and when he turned around, he looked behind him vaguely, but he didn't see any suspicious figures.
But this does not seem to mean safety: there are many small shops on both sides of this street. The billboards or large displays at the entrance, and even the shops themselves with poor lighting, are excellent hiding places.
If the person following you is always looking for a place to hide, and quickly hides when he shows signs of turning around, then he will indeed not see anything.
Subaru Okiya picked up his watch and put it on, turned around and continued walking. His pace was not hurried, but his heart was already beating fast.
Okiya Subaru: "..." At this time, I really missed the glasses I had been wearing before.
If the glasses were still there, he could still find a way to use the reflection to see what was going on behind him. However, now, because he had disguised his identity when going abroad, he no longer wore the glasses.
Subaru Okiya had no choice but to look at everything that might reflect light in front of him, but still found nothing.
...No one seemed to be following him.
However, the experience accumulated in the past and the paranoia persecuted by Uzo made it difficult for him to feel at ease no matter what - just because he couldn't see people in the reflection didn't mean that no one was following him.
Even thinking about it from another aspect, the other person may be someone who has received special training, so when tracking that person, not only is he always in a position where he can hide quickly, but he also specifically avoids people who may be caught by reflected light.
Angle... In short, the less you notice someone following you, the more vigilant you should be.
Subaru Okiya broke into a cold sweat at the thought that there might be an invisible and terrifying opponent behind him.
This familiar sense of oppression made him reach into his pocket and touch his cell phone. He instinctively wanted to blindly type a message such as "Uzo is going to kill me!" to ask Shuichi Akai for help.
However, the slightly cool touch of the phone brought Okiya Subaru back to his senses quickly, and he sighed sadly.
——The reliable Mr. Akai is a thing of the past.
What he should be looking for now seems to be that scary new boss.
Thinking of this, Subaru Okiya took a deep breath, chose his words, and typed them carefully: [After I came out of the bar, I felt as if someone was following me.]
After all, there was too little known information now, and he was typing blindly with his hands in his pockets. He didn't write much, just left the key information, and then pressed send.
