However, as there is a generation gap, there is a generation gap. After this short but informative exchange, Kidd's previous image of the terrifying foggy dog that eats humans alive and hangs dried meat has vaguely changed.
... Morality aside, at least this is a monster with ideas and principles.
Kidd had always felt that Kiriten Dog only grabbed gems every time because he was useful and did not kill anyone.
And once one day, he makes it clear that he will no longer provide gems, the foggy dog will come to his door and tear him into dried phantom thief strips.
Although Kidd feels that he should not be afraid of evil forces, the threat to his life that hangs above his head still unknowingly accumulates huge pressure on him.
But now, I suddenly discovered that Kiriten Dog is a fairly kind and good monster...
Kidd turned his head and glanced at the foggy dog quietly eating gems.
In a trance, I had a sense of déjà vu as I saw my neighbor sitting next to me drinking juice during class.
The world seems to have become peaceful.
Kidd was thoughtful and looked at the gems: "These things can be restored later, right?"
He heard that the luster of the Suzuki family's dark star had recovered somewhat. This decline in quality after being sucked by monsters did not seem to be permanent.
Wutian Dog nodded: "It will grow out after a while, you can steal it when the time comes."
Kidd: "..."
No, he doesn't really want to steal duplicates.
While Kidd fell silent, Jiang Xia's attention quickly moved away.
——He discovered that several cars were driving towards this direction secretly.
Although the style is not a police car, what is inside is probably the police who followed the signal transmitter on the gem to find it - he saw the Nakamori Police Department.
Jiang Xia lowered his head and shook the sapphire in his hand, and found that there was no energy left in it, so he threw the drained gem to Kidd.
The Phantom Thief knows better than him how to return the gems without leaving any trace.
Afterwards, Jiang Xia identified the direction, flapped her wings and flew away.
The energy core has been consumed, and it’s time to get some murderous energy to support the family.
——On the roof just now, the leading man in black really wanted to get rid of Kidd, and there was some murderous intent wrapped around him.
And as a small villain with a name, Slack's murderous aura is not uncommon.
Jiang Xia did some simple calculations and found that if he drove the puppet and killed that person, he could still make money by removing the murderous aura consumed by the puppet itself.
So on the rooftop before, when Jiang Xia dragged Kidd and the energy core away, he also threw a ghost away and let it follow Slack for easy positioning.
I used up too much murderous energy on Mermaid Island a few days ago. Burning the murderous energy felt great for a while, but afterwards I felt uncomfortable when I saw the ghost peppermint rapidly decreasing.
I'm just catching up now to replenish my inventory.
…
Although Kidd's night vision ability was not as good as Jiang Xia's puppet, he was also aware of the approach of the police.
He took the gem that Kiritengu had returned to him and left quickly. He found Terai who was waiting for him nearby.
Terai Kinosuke was once the assistant of Kid's father, Kuroba Toichi.
Now that Kuroba Pirates has been "murdered", Terai has become Kid's assistant again.
Terai stepped on the accelerator and drove away quickly. He looked at the dim gem in Kidd's hand without surprise and sighed inwardly.
——Now every time Kidd takes action, he will ask Kidd to wear a locator.
In this way, when Kidd is robbed by the foggy dog and thrown into a corner, he can rush over to rescue him as soon as possible...
After Kidd got in the car, he took out a locator with a serious face and showed Terai the moving coordinates on it: "Go here."
Just now, Kidd was dragged away from the roof of the building by the foggy dog. When he flew somewhere nearby, he saw several neatly arranged black vehicles below from a distance.
According to Kidd's intuition, these cars may belong to the group of men in black who are trying to kill him.
So at that time, Kidd fired a black-tech locator - although the group of men in black with guns were dangerous, they seemed to know a lot about the Black Feather Pirates, and Kidd didn't want to let them go anyway.
kind of information.
Now, judging from the moving signal points on the locator, he was lucky enough to get the transmitter on the roof of the car.
I hope this trip will be fruitful...
…
Although Terai Konosuke is already an old man in age, he still drives at the same speed as before.
He quickly caught up with the vehicle of the men in black in a roundabout way and secretly fell behind.
The convoy of men in black drove towards the mountains. Finally, it stopped outside a quaint courtyard surrounded by trees and with a stream flowing beside it.
A group of people in black got out of the car one after another and seemed ready to enter the courtyard.
Terai also stopped the car some distance away.
At night in the forest, the mountain wind was strong, and coupled with the flow of water in the creek, these noises covered up the sound of the vehicles' engines very well. They were not too far away from the convoy of the men in black.
Kidra opened the door and was about to get out of the car when he suddenly felt a shadow passing over the sky in front of him.
An old man and a young man raised their heads in confusion, just in time to see the foggy dog flying silently over the man in black and throwing something down.
The next second, a cloud of smoke suddenly rose around the people in black, wrapping them entirely in it.
Terai Huangnosuke was stunned. Looking at the smoke from a distance, he felt more and more familiar: "Master, this is..."
Kidd was also startled for a moment and remembered: "It took it from my pocket when it was dragging me to fly. I thought at the time..."
...I thought that the foggy dog was interested in the smoke bombs + tranquilizer bombs that were shaped like round gems, and wanted to take some back to decorate the lair.
This was not a big deal, and since Kiritengou later revealed information about the Shanni Temple, Kidd forgot about it.
Now it seems... The foggy dog came prepared?
…
After Jiang Xia threw away the smoke bombs and anesthetic bombs, he hovered above the smoke and observed.
Then he dived and approached the edge of the smoke from behind. Slack ran out holding his breath. He put a black cloth bag on Slack's head and flew into the woods with the struggling man in black.
Terai Huangnosuke watched this scene from a distance, his expression slightly changed.
He still remembered the "habits of foggy dogs" that he had found out before - he heard that this kind of monster likes to snatch away humans, and then hangs them on trees to store food... He thought about the scene of the human flesh feast, and everything went white behind him.
Mao Han turned around and wanted to drive away.
However, as soon as he put down the handbrake, Kidd next to him suddenly opened the door, said "I'll go take a look!", and then ran quickly into the woods.
…
Kidd looked solemn - didn't the Kiriten Dog say that as long as there are gems, it won't eat people?
Did the monster lie?
...In this world, if there is no trust between people, even monsters cannot be trusted?
