Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 216: Change it for me! Asking for monthly tic

 Chapter 216 Change it for me! Asking for monthly ticket()

On the cliff, Hattori Heiji looked at the rope in his hand warily, and then looked at the relatively strong tree trunk under him.

 After hesitating for a moment, he said: "I'll go up first."

Judging from Anonymous’ previous deeds, she doesn’t look like a bad person, but it seems difficult to classify her as a simple good person.

 And the way Kuroe Nao escaped in terror just now was really impressive, so Hattori Heiji felt that it was best to be on guard.

Lest they work hard to climb to the top of the cliff, and when they look out, they find Anonymous hiding on the top of the cliff with a stick, come up and knock one by one...or simply cut the rope when they are halfway up. This kind of silencing efficiency is slightly higher than throwing stones at people.

 …

 Hattori Heiji carefully pulled the rope and climbed to the top of the cliff.

Then I discovered somewhat unexpectedly that there was no one around, and Anonymous was no longer there.

This surprised Hattori Heiji, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief—it was really a scary thing to encounter a mysterious enemy in such a remote mountain, with two out-of-state teammates.

 Fortunately, now it seems that Anonymous really just wants to save them and has no other purpose.

The person who scared Kuroe Nao and ran around just now was probably someone else.

Maybe that person is Anonymous, but the reason for Kuroe Nao's escape is that she saw it wrong - think about it carefully, the tattoo under Anonymous's eyes, in the dim light now, can really be seen as scales...

 Hattori Heiji made some useless guesses, but there were still many unknown puzzles.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously turned back and glanced at the reference book leaning on the tree trunk below.

However, the reference book seems to be closed to itself and has no intention of showing him the answer.

 Hattori Heiji can only suppress his desire for the truth for the time being - after dragging Jiang Xia and Kazuye up and returning to the residence, he can reason with Kudo. Maybe they got some useful evidence...

With this thought, Hattori Heiji shouted down: "Come up, I'll pull you up."

 Yuan Shan and Ye glanced at Jiang Xia, who had recovered from his thoughts, and said decisively: "You go up first."

Although Jiang Xia seems to have woken up a little, in such a dangerous place, if Jiang Xia slips in a daze while climbing, she can still hold people down...

 Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuki had the same idea, and secretly made a gesture to her.

 Yuanshan and Ye Miao understand.

She took the rope and secretly wrapped it around Jiang Xia's waist twice and tied a knot to prevent Jiang Xia from getting distracted while climbing the mountain. In addition, if Jiang Xia is halfway up the climb and looks back to see Kuroe Nao's body below, and then lets go because she feels too guilty and loses the desire to live because she failed to save anyone... it would be terrible and must be avoided.

Jiang Xia looked at her knotting inexplicably.

 Does the idle state look so scary? Next time I hang up, it seems that I have to choose a suitable expression in advance.

Jiang Xia didn't care about Yuan Shan and Ye's small movements, nor did he make any mistakes during the climb - he also wanted to end it as soon as possible so that the reinforced clay with murderous intent could be dispersed.

Yuan Shan and Ye watched with relief as Jiang Xia climbed to the top of the cliff and breathed a sigh of relief.

 Then she also grabbed the rope thrown down by Jiang Xia and climbed up neatly. She had been practicing Aikido and would not lose the chain at this time.

It was getting dark. The three of them walked out of the back mountain and returned to an inhabited place, following the impressions they had when they came.

After meeting up with three other companions, Hattori Heiji quickly called the police and told the villagers that Kuroe Nao fell to death.

However, due to the continued rough seas, the police were still unable to arrive immediately.

The villagers tried to go into the mountain to find the body, but almost no one went to the place where Kuroe Nao fell. They couldn't remember how to get to the bottom of the cliff for a while, so they could only decide to wait until dawn the next day. Check.

Although the high school students were anxious, they could only go back to the hotel first. Of course, although everyone is anxious, people’s joys and sorrows are not the same, and the reasons for being anxious are certainly different...

Jiang Xia returned to the room calmly, then locked the doors and windows neatly, and pulled out the mermaid in anticipation.

 —He has done what he agreed to do before, and the fish is now officially his.

The mermaid took a peek at Jiang Xia's luggage, looked away, and wiped the corners of her mouth reservedly, without any objection.

 One person and one ghost reached a consensus and signed a contract.

Jiang Xia pierced his own tattoo, stained a drop of blood, and dripped it on the mermaid.

The moment the two came into contact, the blood dispersed like boiling water, swimming along the mermaid's body, and finally slowly stopped on the mermaid's lower back, forming a strange floral "z" pattern.

This time, the reaction in the pattern space was much greater than before, like a huge drop of water hitting a bowl. The energy churned for a long time before gradually stopping.

 Not only the mermaids, but other ghosts have also changed.

—Fundamentally speaking, the ghosts of the psychics all receive roughly the same amount of resources.

All the other ghosts currently owned by Jiangxia are not strong enough to support the puppet's actions independently. They can only be thrown into the puppet clay and serve as a hanger or template.

The mermaid is the only ghost who can drive a puppet and act alone.

 It's a pity that now that she has been signed, her energy has become even, and the mermaid has also lost the ability to act independently.

 Fortunately, the other ghosts have been strengthened a little - now, in a short period of time, they can also support the puppets to make some minor moves.

 Although it cannot last for too long, it can somewhat alleviate the "autistic" state of the body.

Jiang Xia looked at the life-size ghost in front of him with his own mark on it, and rushed towards him to give him a hug and try his hand.

However, as soon as he closed his hands, the mermaid immediately shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally became the size of an ordinary ghost fetus.

She crossed Jiang Xia and floated next to Ghost Mint expectantly. She looked at the smoke that looked extra huge because she had become smaller. She squinted and rubbed it against it.

 Jiangxia: “…”

 He turned around and poked the mermaid: "Change back."

Holding a stick of ghost mint, the mermaid turned around slowly, and at the same time moved the tail that was poked by Jiang Xia to the other side, refusing.

 Jiangxia: “…”

 …The new ghost doesn’t seem to be easy to get along with.

If you force her to change, it's probably not impossible, but she definitely can't keep the ghost mint in her arms.

Jiang Xia sighed and suddenly remembered something.

 He turned his head and looked at Wutian Dog faintly.

  Fog Tengu: “Σ(°△°|||)︴!”

Jiang Xia tugged on its wings and thought thoughtfully: "They are also demonized ghosts. If others can become smaller, why can't you become bigger?"

 The foggy dog's forehead started to sweat. It, it really doesn't have this function...
