Chapter 1011 The deal with Mrs. Black Feather

"No, we must not let this child make the same mistake as Pirates..."

After careful consideration, Kuroba Chikage still felt that Kuroba Kaito could not get involved in this matter, even if it was to avenge his father.

That organization is ruthless and murderous, and fighting against them is not a simple magic trick.

With the dead like this, the most important thing is that the living can be safe.

Qin Zhibo expressed respect for Kuroba Qiankage's idea. After all, it was a common idea for a mother.

"But based on my experience with Kaito, this kid is quite persistent and won't give up so easily."

"Besides, some things are always a knot in my heart."

Qin Zhibo's words made Black Feather Qianying fall into thinking.

Kaito has always told himself about everything since he was a child, and he is a very obedient and good boy. Only in this matter, it was the first time that Kaito lied to himself with Terai Kinosuke.

Although it cannot be ruled out that it is due to the rebellious period of youth, it also shows that Kuroba Kaito has a very firm attitude on this matter.

But if Kaito Kuroba continues to disguise himself as Kaitou Kid and commit crimes, he will continue to face the danger of being assassinated by the Beast Brotherhood.

After thinking for a moment, Kuroyu Qianying said in a deep voice: "It seems like this is the only way..."

"What kind?" Qin Zhibo asked.

"That is, we work together to defeat Kaitou Kidd, frustrate the child's confidence, and then give up and continue pretending to be Kaitou Kidd."

Defeat Kaitou Kidd?

Qin Zhibo was thinking about the countermeasures mentioned by Kuroyu Qianying, and suddenly noticed something was wrong.

"Me, us?"

"Yes, us." Kuroba Chikage nodded with certainty, "That kid Kaito will definitely come with Mr. Terai. They are two people. If you come to help me, we will also be two people."

"2V2, this is only fair~"

Behind every successful magician is an excellent assistant.

Although Kuroba Chikage is not a magician, as the wife of a genius magician, she has already been exposed to this principle.

Moreover, her goal is not only to defeat her son's cosplayer Kaitou Kidd, but also more importantly...

"We must successfully steal the 'Black Crow in the Night' this time. This is the task assigned to me by the Nine Angels organization."

"Task?"

Although Qin Zhibo's tone was questioning, he was not surprised.

The Nine Angels organization often assigns tasks to agents, even if illegal acts may occur during the execution of the tasks.

For example, the original owner of the body once wanted to steal books from Shuyu's house.

It's just that Kuroba Chikage's task is more difficult, it is directly to steal gems.

Kuroba Qiankage took a sip of the orange juice drink on the table and continued: "I have been staying in Las Vegas for the past two months just to steal the 'Black Crow in the Night'."

"Now that I have spent tens of millions at the Star Casino and become a guest of the casino, I can close the network next time."

"Ten million...dollars?"

"Well, you can only exchange chips with U.S. dollars here."

Black Feather Qianying nodded naturally, but Qin Zhibo was shocked and dumbfounded.

This is US dollars!

I thought I was already very wealthy with 30 million yen, but I didn't expect that the rich woman from the Kuroba family didn't take it seriously even though she spent tens of millions of dollars.

With so much money, I'm afraid I can buy that gem directly!

Of course, since it is a mission provided by Nine Angels, it means that this "Black Crow in the Night" is not a mortal thing and cannot be measured simply by its monetary value.

"Is there anything special about the 'Black Crow in the Night'?" Qin Zhibo asked.

Black Feather Qianying thought about it and replied: "This gem is said to be the sacred relic of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Nevren Ka, and it contains powerful magic power..."

"But this is just a legend from the outside world, and I don't know its authenticity."

"But the people from Nine Angels told us that during the process of stealing this gem, the gem must not be placed in a place without light..."

Qin Zhibo frowned slightly, what kind of request is this?

He asked about the doubts in his heart, and Kuroyu Qianying shook his head without knowing why.

"I don't know this either, but just because of this requirement, it makes it extremely difficult for me to steal it."

"Can't put it in your pocket, can't put it in a box, can't walk with it in dark places..."

"Coupled with the fact that Star Casino's security system is really strong, with layers of security and surveillance, I have been able to stay in Las Vegas for such a long time."

Kuroba Qiankage counted the rules and restrictions in detail, feeling a little aggrieved as to why there were such troublesome restrictions on stealing a gem.

But Qin Zhibo knew that with the nature of the Nine Angels organization, the things contained must not be mortal objects.

It must be stolen without avoiding the light...

Is it because of what happens to the gem once it's in the dark?

To be in darkness is to be in the middle of the night.

Black crows in the night...

Qin Zhibo held his chin up and fell into deep thought.



Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Qianying discussed the specific details of the theft in the room.

Chikage Kuroba's original plan was to use the presence of the Phantom Thief Crow to cause panic in the entire Las Vegas casino.

When Star Casino received the notice letter, if he came out and performed at the right time, the casino would want to rely on himself, the wife of a former genius magician.

In fact, Kuroba Chikage's plan has been successful.

Kuroba Qiankage spent a lot of money to cultivate contacts in the past two months, and showed his insights and understanding of the Kaitou Crow in front of the casino owner, and he has fully gained the casino owner's trust.

Therefore, Kuroba Chikage will appear in the vault where "Black Crow in the Night" is sealed that day as a special advisor.

At that time, Kuroba Chikage took the opportunity to look at the gem, replaced it with a fake one, and stole the gem openly.

The Phantom Thief Crow does not need to appear from beginning to end, as long as he leaves a letter giving up the theft at the right time.

As for the need to expose it to light, Kuroba Chikage customized a black dress, which is the one she is wearing now.

There is a hidden grid at the waist of this dress. The hidden grid can ensure that most of the gems are hidden inside, but there is a hole that can expose the outside light source.

If most of a gemstone is wrapped in cloth and only a little bit of the middle is exposed, it looks like a smaller gemstone is embedded inside, and others won't be able to tell anything unless they look closely.

Moreover, Chikage Kuroba often wears this dress in and out of the casino these days, also to enhance the impression of the casino staff.

Since Kaitou Kidd will also join, the on-site environment will become more complicated, and this plan is considered aborted.

So, Kuroba Chikage came up with 0's plan again.

"Shall you pretend to be the Phantom Thief Crow?"

"I'm pretending?" Qin Zhibo was startled.

"Yes." Kuroba Chikage nodded with certainty and explained: "The only one who can fight against Kaitou Kidd is Kaitou Crow."

"I will provide suggestions to protect the gems, and I will tell you how to crack it when the time comes..."

"But the only question is, can you change your voice?"

Qin Zhibo: "...Yes, I can, but..."

Kuroyu Qianying clapped his hands and said happily: "Then it's no problem!"

"Stand up and let me take a look... Well, your figure is very similar to that of Tao Yi. It is enough for you without any modification."

"Also, I can teach you how to sound like Tao Yi. Actually, it doesn't have to be exactly the same. It just needs to be 80% similar."

Kuroba Chikage's purpose is to create the illusion that Kuroba Toichi is still alive to the outside world and attract people from the Beast Brotherhood, so his voice must be similar to Kuroba Toichi.

But Qin Zhibo never thought that he would need to visit the scene of the theft in person and dress up as the Phantom Thief Crow.

"But I didn't even think about it..."

Before Qin Zhibo finished speaking, Black Feather Qianying raised a finger and blocked Qin Zhibo's mouth.

"Mr. Qin, didn't you say you wanted to return the favor?"

"If you can ensure the safety of this child, it will be the greatest favor you can repay."

"And can you bear to watch me deal with that rebellious child and Mr. Terai alone?"

Kuroba Qianying's eyes gradually became blurred, and he put on a pitiful look.

It has to be said that the 39-year-old Kuroba Chikage is still a beauty. Her skin is maintained like that of a woman in her 20s, and she has a more mature femininity.

But Qin Zhibo has an iron will after all, and he can't even beep when passing the security check. He can't be tempted into agreeing so easily. This matter is risky after all.

"Well, I can help you with this, but at the same time, I also have something I want to ask you for a favor with."

"Ah? Why is this like this..."

Kuroba Qianying pursed her lips and twisted her body from side to side, pretending to be like a little woman.

But Qin Zhibo remained unmoved and directly told Kuroba Qianying of his commission.

"There is a town called Arkham near Boston. There is a university there called Miskatonic University."

"I want you to help me steal a book from the library of the University of Michigan, called the Necronomicon."

"Necronomicon?" Kuroba Qianying complained, "What a strange name..."

But if it's just a book, it's definitely easier to steal than valuable gems. This job shouldn't be a problem for me.

"No problem, Necronomicon, right? I can help you steal it."

Kuroba Qianying thought for a few seconds and then agreed.

Qin Zhibo also smiled when he saw this.

"That's OK, it's a deal."

"make a deal."



Qin Zhibo was in a good mood after reaching an agreement with Kuroba Qianying.

After walking out of the room, Qin Zhibo pressed the down button of the elevator and waited for the elevator to arrive.

In fact, Qin Zhibo stole the "Necronomicon" because he had always been curious about the ultimate grimoire that Koizumi Hongzi said.

According to Koizumi Anko, the Necronomicon is the most perfect of all the grimoires in the world.

This book was written by the Arab poet Abdullah Alhassad, and its perfection even surpasses the "Book of Ebon" written by the great magician Ebon.

It records eclectic knowledge of astrology and astronomy, as well as all-encompassing knowledge about existences much older than humans, as well as the history before the emergence of humans.

Since Abdullah Alhassad was once a magic apprentice, it contains countless incantations and magic circles.

What's even more rare is that the "Book of Ebon" has almost disappeared, and only a few fragments of pages are still circulating.

But the "Necronomicon" kept by Miskatonic University is the most complete in the world and one of the few original Latin versions that is publicly available.

As long as she has this book, Koizumi Anko should be able to learn the kinds of magic she needs to pass the seven witch formation tests.

In addition, Qin Zhibo has always had doubts in his heart.

What kind of magic circle is carved on the floor of my room on the third floor?

The original owner was once a student at Miskatonic University, and was exposed to the so-called forbidden knowledge while in school.

If this is the case, the "Necronomicon" from the University of Michigan is very questionable, and it may contain the answer I want to know.

After a while, the elevator came up and he got into the empty elevator.

Looking at the three rows of elevator buttons arranged vertically downward, Qin Zhibo suddenly remembered something he had forgotten.

Suddenly, he remembered.

Oops!

I forgot about Minase Harumu!

I looked down at my watch and saw that almost an hour had passed. No matter how big the backstage of the casino was, I should have finished exploring it by now.



When the elevator reached the first floor, Qin Zhibo hurried to the casino and looked for the ghost of Minase Yomeng in the splendor.

After searching twice in a row, he vaguely saw something floating in the pool in the middle of the casino.

He came closer and took a look, and saw a "water ghost" swimming in the pool. Through the ghost's body, he could see the gold coins under the pool.

"Ahem...why are you here?"

The "water ghost" in the pool saw Qin Zhibo's face appearing on the edge of the pool and immediately floated out excitedly.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-I thought you didn't want me anymore!"

"I want to float in the pool so that no one can see me crying... Wuwu..."

As a ghost, Minase Yomu's emotions are a little too rich.

She hugged Qin Zhibo's neck excitedly and cried until she had runny nose and tears.

Fortunately, these snot and tears were also fake, otherwise Qin Zhibo's shoulders would have gotten wet one after another out of thin air.

"Okay, how could I not want you? I just met an acquaintance just now and the conversation took a bit long."

"Let's go back to the room first..."

Qin Zhibo calmed Minase Youmeng's emotions all the way, and one person and one ghost returned to the room.

After the girl's mood stabilized, Qin Zhibo also learned about the situation behind the casino from her mouth.

Behind that door is the backstage of the casino, and the structure inside is like a maze.

There is an elevator in the center of the "maze". Through the elevator, you can go underground to the Star Casino's vault.

Minase Yomu used the ability to walk through walls at will and walked around the casino vault.

Most of the cabinets contain valuable items such as diamonds, gemstone necklaces, bonds and stocks stored by guests here, and there is also a huge vault dedicated to holding cash.

But in addition, there is a special small vault in which a single gemstone is stored.

The gem was made up of dozens of irregular faces and was placed in an exquisite gilt box.

Under the direct illumination of dozens of spotlights, the room was as bright as day, but the gem still exuded a mysterious and profound darkness.
