Kidd is usually chased by the police, detectives, and fans... He is very familiar with various ways of evading.
But like now, chasing others on the other hand is not very skillful.
Moreover, to his surprise: Jiang Xia looked like a quiet person who was not good at martial arts, but he didn't expect that he could not only hide and fight, but also run very fast. Using the cover of the trees to move quickly like this, Kidd couldn't wait for a while.
It turned out that he couldn't catch up at all, and it was difficult to aim the tranquilizer gun.
"..." If this continues, Jiang Xia's companion who went to buy tires may come back...
Thinking of this, Kidd raised the muzzle of the gun and adjusted the button on it, preparing to use the steel wire to speed up the movement at the risk of hanging on the branch.
But the moment he raised his head, a shadow suddenly crossed diagonally above him.
...It seems like some giant bird has fallen into the woods.
Just as this thought flashed across his mind, Kidd's eyes suddenly froze.
Ahead, on the path Jiang Xia must pass, a dark shadow suddenly appeared.
——A huge wing suddenly stretched out from behind the tree, curled up like a Venus flytrap that had been lying in wait for a long time, and accurately captured the detective who was running fast and had no time to change direction.
Jiang Xia seemed to be unprepared for this kind of ambush. He ran headlong into the wing, and then he was swept away by the closed wings and disappeared from Kidd's sight.
Kidd was startled.
"..." Wutian Dog?
...The foggy dog!
Although from Kidd's perspective, the body of the wing owner, as well as Jiang Xia who was later swept away, were all blocked by the closed wings and tree trunks.
But he would never mistake the shape and color of those wings. More importantly... there was probably no other creature with such huge wings in this world.
After subconsciously coming to this conclusion, Kidd quickly ran closer, walked around the tree trunk, and looked back.
They saw that the wrapped wings of the foggy dog had been loosened at this time, revealing the very difficult to catch detective.
Jiang Xia's body swayed, and she fell to the ground with her eyes closed, and then was caught by the foggy dog like a snack.
Immediately afterwards, the pair of dark golden eyes unique to monsters raised and looked in the direction of Kidd.
"..." It's really him.
Kidd was instinctively surprised at first: "I haven't seen you for a while, and I thought you were being troubled by the witch again."
Then he suddenly remembered the business and ran quickly to Jiang Xia, who was wearing a foggy dog vest, and looked at the motionless body in his hand: "...Is he okay?"
Jiang Xia drove the foggy dog, so he didn't want to talk to him at first.
But after glancing at the anesthesia gun in Kidd's hand, he was worried that the thief would replenish the body. So after hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xia used puppet clay to secretly make a pair of fangs, opened his mouth a little, and gave Kidd a look.
He added concisely and concisely: "Anesthetic. Enough to sleep for half a day."
Kidd was startled.
...Although he had seen the foggy dog's fangs before, before, he thought they were just parts used to bite human flesh.
I didn’t expect that I could also inject anesthetics... Could it have evolved when humans were hunted in the past?
Kidd carefully looked at the pair of sharp and terrifying fangs, which looked a bit like the legendary vampire's fangs, and then at Jiang Xia's body. After hesitating for a moment, he put away the anesthetic gun: "Then I'd better not stab him, the dose is too high.
It's easy to damage the brain - you may not know it, but this detective is very famous in our human world and has a very good mind. He can't afford to pay for it if it's damaged... Well, your anesthetic should have no side effects."
As he said that, he wanted to poke Jiang Xia's head with his fingertips as if inspecting a work of art.
He stretched out his hand, but before he could find it, Wutian Gou moved slightly and moved the "anaesthetized" Jiang Xia to the side, as if he didn't want him to touch him.
"?"
Kidd was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became alarmed - Wutian Dog wouldn't count the captured Jiang Xia as prey.
...Fortunately, he was prepared.
Kidd sighed inwardly, flipped his wrist, and skillfully took out a necklace inlaid with large gems.
——This time it was not stolen from somewhere else, but pried out from the safe left by his father.
According to legend, foggy dogs like to snatch away humans and hang them on trees to dry and eat.
But in fact, according to Kidd's observation, the rather civilized-looking foggy dog in front of him seemed to prefer various treasures to humans.
Every time the gems or other collections are bitten by foggy dogs, their color will become dim, as if they have been hollowed out. After a period of time, they will slowly recover as time goes by.
At the beginning, Kidd meditated on the principle of this change, but could not figure out the mystery.
It was not until later that he met two strange witches and opened the door to a new world that Kidd completely gave up studying - it was normal not to understand things in the magical world.
...In short, since I don’t want the Kiriten Dog to eat people, I also don’t want to feed it to the Kiriten Dog with my body.
In addition to diligently committing crimes, Kidd also rummaged through all the valuable things in his home and picked one or two items to carry with him every time he went out, so that when the foggy dog came out to hunt, he could peacefully dissuade him from eating dried human meat strips.
Of course it will be the same this time.
"This is the Heart of La Mer that my dad took in France before. It's no worse than the ones I usually steal..."
Kidd glanced at the gem, then at Jiang Xia, who was being hugged by the foggy dog, and negotiated in a low voice: "How about an exchange? Compared to bloody human flesh, I think eating gems is more in line with your elegant image."
Jiang Xia: "..."
He glanced at the gem.
Kidd seems to have some misunderstandings about the ghost recipes.
In fact, ordinary treasures do not have the energy core he wants.
In this world, things that contain energy cores and can strengthen ghost fetuses and shikigami are actually stolen goods.
In addition to Kidd, the items stolen by other thieves and thieves also had some scattered items, but they were much less than those stolen by Kidd. Maybe this is also some kind of world rule, just like when Jiang Xia first came to this world, Kudo
When his classmate showed no signs of turning into Conan, he was completely unable to pick up ghosts...
In short, now, the gem that Kidd handed over looks good, but there is no energy core in it.
It seems that when a son steals something from his father, it is not considered stealing...
But fortunately, Kidd has other things that can be exchanged.
——Jiang Xia remembered that since the last time, the phantom thief was dragged to the castle by the witches for an indescribable day, there were some signs of awakening magic power. And magic power is equivalent to energy core...
…
Kidd was stretching out his hands, praying with a slight pain in his conscience that his father would not care about this gem. After all, the foggy dog would usually return it after eating it.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Kiritengu's hand missing the gem and placing it accurately on his wrist.
