After saying goodbye to the Maori family, Qin Zhibo drove his Mustang convertible back to Tokyo from Yokohama.
As soon as he stepped into the office, a strong sense of exhaustion suddenly poured into Qin Zhibo's body.
He didn't get much sleep in the hospital last night and drove for half an hour when he woke up in the morning. Now Qin Zhibo just wanted to have a good rest.
After watching the morning news and eating some takeaway breakfast, Toru Amuro went to work after washing up.
"Xiao An, I'm a little tired today. I'm going to bed first."
After giving the instructions, Qin Zhibo was too lazy to say another word and went upstairs to sleep.
"is teacher."
"You can go and rest in peace, and leave the office to me."
Looking at Qin Zhibo's tired figure, the corner of Amuro Toru's mouth, which had been extremely sunny just a second ago, slightly raised in a sinister angle.
Toru Amuro can probably guess what Qin Zhibo did yesterday.
The night before yesterday, I quietly rescued Kinoshita Tomonori from the Forest of Head Gods. This guy must have gone crazy with anxiety, right?
The person the organization wanted to silence disappeared. Qin Zhibo, as the person directly responsible for the matter, would definitely want to see the person alive and dead, and he would dig deep into the ground to find the person.
This case has alarmed the local police in Gunma County, and now the police are also looking for the whereabouts of Kinoshita Tomonori.
According to the style of the black organization, although they will not openly search for people in the same forest as the police, they can monitor the police's channel and wait for the police to find the person before sniping them halfway.
Of course, this is only the idea of the black organization.
The real situation is that people have been protected by themselves, and the search operations of the Gunma police have been temporarily stopped under the instructions of Kazami.
In this way, Qin Zhibo had no need to be in charge personally, and he was afraid that leaving for too long would arouse suspicion, so he had no choice but to return to the office.
Everything went in the direction Amuro Tohru expected.
It's just that there are still many things Toru Amuro doesn't understand about this incident.
For example: What kind of website is "Curse of the Dead"? Is it a murder commission website for the black organization?
Although the "Curse of the Dead" website has been shut down, the technical department of the public security department has intercepted some data packets and is currently analyzing them.
According to technical analysts from the police, the person who designed this website is by no means an idle person.
The other party had anticipated in advance the possibility that the website might be detected by technical means, and created corresponding anti-detection mechanisms, as well as overseas servers that could not track specific addresses.
Secondly, what exactly did Kinoshita Tomonori experience in the Tougami Forest?
Toru Amuro also read the case notice issued by the Gunma police, but Toru Amuro was more willing to believe that it was the result of a frame-up by the organization.
Making Kinoshita Tomonori a criminal, even if he is caught by the police, he will not be able to defend himself.
Perhaps from the very beginning, Kinoshita Tomonori had been caught in a large network carefully orchestrated by the organization.
Exactly what kind of "net" this is is waiting for Kinoshita Tomonori himself to explain.
Before that, Toru Amuro decided to give Kinoshita Tomonori an adaptation period, letting him let down his guard first and then tell him what he knew.
During this period, Kazami Yuya was solely responsible for taking care of Kinoshita Tomonori's life.
It is said to take care of life, but in fact it is surveillance and protection, somewhat similar to the "witness protection plan".
Since we have to be wary of organized people within the public security this time, Toru Amuro cannot send any additional manpower to Yuya Kazami.
And even after the problem is clearly explained, Kinoshita Tomonori's safety must be ensured.
So Toru Amuro had taken advantage of yesterday's break to find a secluded high-end apartment and asked Kazami to move people there first.
Apartments are not as crowded as hotels and are safer in the long run.
But no matter what, Toru Amuro believed that he had achieved a staged victory against the subordinates of the organization's boss.
I slept until late afternoon.
When Qin Zhibo got up, the clock on the wall had already reached 4 p.m.
Stretching out his waist by the bedside, Qin Zhibo came to the office on the second floor with his messy hair style.
Toru Amuro has left work on time, and the empty office has been cleaned.
On the desk by the window, a small stack of banknotes was neatly placed.
This is Toru Amuro's sales today. Qin Zhibo clicked on it and found it was exactly 20,000 yen.
Feeling at ease and putting the money in his pocket, Qin Zhibo went to the toilet to wash his face, put some water in, and wash his hair.
At this time, Japanese high school girls have already finished school without participating in club activities.
And Koizumi Hongzi happens to be the kind of person who doesn't join any clubs.
After tidying up, Qin Zhibo went out, went downstairs, and drove the Mustang convertible straight to the Witch's House.
The Witch's House is technically just a villa located in the forest on the outskirts of Tokyo.
Because there lived a proud witch lady, it was unilaterally called "Witch's House" by Qin Zhibo.
Qin Zhibo drove to the Witch's House. As soon as he parked the car at the door, the housekeeper opened the door of the villa.
"Welcome, Mr. Qin."
The housekeeper bowed slightly, already accustomed to Qin Zhibo's arrival.
Qin Zhibo also nodded and immediately went in to find Koizumi Hongzi.
As expected, Koizumi Anko was not doing homework after school, but studying magic in the magic chamber.
According to Koizumi Anko, magic is also a very profound and profound knowledge, and no matter how talented you are, you still have to study hard.
In fact, Koizumi Hongzi's words were meant more for Qin Zhibo, implying that Qin Zhibo didn't study magic well and was running around blindly.
"What are you doing here again this time?"
Koizumi Anko was wearing a red robe, looking at the thousands of pages of magic books on the bookshelf, and adding materials according to the instructions in the book.
"Actually, this time it was someone around me who was troubled by nightmares."
Qin Zhibo naturally came here because of Mao Lilan's affairs, "You also know this person, he is Mao Lilan."
Koizumi Anko paused for a moment with something like a dried gecko tail in her hand above the huge crucible, and then answered after two seconds.
"It turns out to be Zhongsen No. 2."
"But does this have anything to do with me?"
After Koizumi Hongzi answered, she let go and threw the gecko's tail into the crucible, pretending that nothing happened.
When asked by Koizumi Hongzi, Qin Zhibo was a little stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Theoretically speaking, Koizumi Hongzi really has no obligation to help with this.
The previous help was based on the cooperative relationship between Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi. It was Qin Zhibo who was helped by Koizumi Hongzi.
But this time, the person who helped Koizumi was just a person she had met twice.
Especially this involves the King in Yellow. Once it is not handled well, it will be more dangerous for everyone.
But now the only one who has the ability to help Mao Lilan is Koizumi Hongzi, and Qin Zhibo still wants to try to persuade her.
"The problem with Mao Lilan this time is very difficult, and I can't do anything about it."
"But if you are the heir to the Red Magic clan, there will definitely be a way to solve it."
When Qin Zhibo said this, Koizumi Hongzi, who was standing on the wooden ladder, was slightly moved.
After putting the last ingredients into the crucible, Koizumi Anko breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked down the ladder.
"Forget it, I can help that Zhongsen No. 2."
"But after I remove the nightmare from her body, you must also concentrate on learning magic with me, and you are not allowed to skip school at will."
Koizumi Hongzi has not forgotten her plan to train Qin Zhibo into a "great magician".
It's just that after Qin Zhi learned some basic magic spells, he stopped coming to class, which caused a headache for Koizumi Hongzi, who was concerned about the family's revival.
As for helping Mao Lilan, Koizumi Hongzi doesn't hate Mao Lilan, but she can't be called a friend.
In the world of witches, friends and lovers are equally undesirable, because they are both existences that can make witches shed tears.
In addition, Koizumi Anko herself also has to prepare for the witch's adult exam.
Only by passing the exam can one officially become the leader of the Red Magic Clan.
Ever since Hongzi's mother disappeared, the Red Magic clan has been without a leader for many years.
The leaderless situation has resulted in Red Magic's right to speak in the witch gathering being reduced to a minimum, and it is even on the verge of being excluded.
Therefore, this exam is very important to Koizumi Anko, and she is preparing with all her strength every day.
If it's not something she thinks is worthwhile, she won't be distracted.
Of course, worthy distractions include capturing Kaitou Kid's heart.
"Okay, let's talk about the specific situation."
Under the inquiry of Koizumi Hongzi, Qin Zhibo informed Mao Lilan that she was being troubled by a nightmare.
"This kind of nightmare is very powerful and is called the 'King in Yellow'. I suggest you not to come into contact with it easily."
"What do you want?"
Although he wanted to save Mao Lilan, Qin Zhibo did not want to endanger Koizumi Hongzi's safety.
So Qin Zhibo wanted to hear Koizumi Hongzi's plan first.
"Um--"
Koizumi Hongzi pondered and said slowly: "Although I have never heard of the 'King in Yellow', I can first use the crystal ball passed down from generation to generation by the Red Magic family to do some divination."
"Divination?"
Qin Zhibo was a little confused, "Do we still need to bring people here?"
Koizumi Hongzi smiled slightly and said confidently: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome. As long as it's someone I've met with my own eyes, I can use a crystal ball to divine the other person's fate remotely."
"This is the strength of the witch~"
Saying that, Koizumi Anko came to the base where the crystal ball was placed.
This crystal ball is still alive entirely because Qin Zhibo did not call the police to catch Koizumi Hongzi, who was an accomplice of the Phantom Thief.
The first time Qin Zhibo caught Koizumi Hongzi's hand, it was because of the revenge of the crystal ball that he made up a future scene for Koizumi Hongzi.
As for the reason for the crystal ball's revenge, it is because the spirit body in the ball originally lived in a dressing mirror, which is called the "magic mirror".
After a divination error, Koizumi Hongzi smashed the magic mirror in anger and replaced the large villa with a swimming pool with a small residence.
Anyone would be angry if this happened to them.
"Wise crystal ball~"
"Through your crystal surface, reveal Mao Lilan's fate to me!"
Koizumi Anko placed her hands above the crystal ball, spread her slender fingers, and read out the question with a nagging expression.
After asking the question, Koizumi Hongzi, Qin Zhibo, and the housekeeper standing silently behind were all waiting for the answer.
However, the crystal ball was silent.
silence ing
silence ing
After half a minute, Koizumi Hongzi finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Hey! What did you see?"
"say something!"
Communication with the crystal ball actually does not require any sense of ritual, just ask.
It's just that Koizumi Hongzi will pay attention to the sense of ritual in front of outsiders to show off her abilities.
Koizumi Hongzi's scolding ended, and the crystal ball suddenly made a high-pitched sound.
"Too dangerous!"
Koizumi Hongzi was startled for a moment and asked doubtfully: "What danger?"
The crystal ball continued to answer in a sharp voice, "The existence that troubles that girl is too dangerous!"
"Lord Hongzi, for the sake of your safety, please leave this matter alone."
"If you are not careful, even your life will be in danger!"
Crystal Ball's warnings are clear.
Although the crystal ball sometimes loses its temper and tries to trick its owner, until it meets a more suitable owner, the crystal ball and its owner are a community of destiny.
A crystal ball without magical nourishment will gradually lose its spirituality and become a mortal thing.
However, after being warned by the crystal ball, Koizumi Hongzi became even more curious.
"What exactly is the 'King in Yellow'?"
The crystal ball's high-pitched voice was a little trembling, "Lord Hongzi, you won't think clearly about His origin."
"If you insist on understanding, I can only say that it was a ruler who existed before countless suns were born."
"No familiar is as powerful as him, not even the evil Lucifer."
"If I have to say it, the God of the Witch Sabbat may be able to compete with it."
"But they have no reason"
Crystal Ball's words stopped abruptly, as if he had touched some taboo, and he suddenly stopped talking.
Koizumi Hongzi and the housekeeper were both shocked by the crystal ball's words and knew the weight of it.
Lucifer is the strongest familiar that Koizumi Anko can channel.
Of course, this Lucifer has nothing to do with the fallen angels in Western sects, it just has the same name.
But even so, with Koizumi Hongzi's magic power, she can only channel Lucifer's voice, and the real body can't even think about it.
Not even Lucifer
Koizumi Hongzi looked a little surprised, but Qin Zhibo had already thought of this possibility.
Forget about all the messy Lucifer, the god of the witch sabbat
"What is this God of the Sabbat?"
Koizumi Anko did not answer immediately, and the butler standing behind replied gloomily: "The God of Witches and Sabbat is the god that all witches admire, and he is also the god who bestowed magic on the first witch."
Qin Zhibo nodded, understanding.
At this time, Koizumi Hongzi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much this time."
"The God of the Witches' Sabbat is a god who must perform a ritual together with at least two hundred witches to make him appear. I can't do that with my ability."
What Koizumi Hongzi said is true.
She had only heard of such a god that all witches respected, but she had never seen it before.
According to legend, the God of the Sabbat imparts magical revelations to different witches.
Based on these revelations, the witch established different witch clans, including black magic, white magic, green magic, red magic, etc.
When all the witch clans gather together, they are called a "witch assembly".
Only the witch coven has the ability to summon the witch god of the Sabbat.
