Chapter 430: The Overturning History of the Phantom Thief

  Valentine’s Day night—that is, tonight, is exactly the time Kidd predicted he would appear.

 Coupled with the rare full moon tonight, Koizumi Hongzi’s magic power will reach its peak.

So she used magic to make a piece of chocolate that would make her fall in love with her after eating it. Intended to use it on Kidd.

 But now, as the plan is about to be implemented, Koizumi Hongzi is always a little uneasy.

—The witch’s intuition told her that there seemed to be something wrong with her divination. However, due to the lack of basic information, even if you want to confirm the divination, you don’t know where to start.

Koizumi Anko pinched the cursed doll in her hand, turned to look at the magic mirror standing among the skull candles, dragged her robe and stared at it: "Hey, mirror, you really didn't hide anything from me?"

The magic mirror, which was smashed by Koizumi Anko, had a low voice and a respectful tone, and repeated the conclusion he had said before: "You are the most beautiful person in the world. All the men in the world are... Will be your prisoner, except for one person..."

                                      

   Koizumi Anko threw the thing in her hand over again, interrupting the mirror's words. She only liked the first part and didn't want to hear the "exception" at the end again.

She covered her lips and let out a low laugh: "After tonight, I will come back to hear your answer."

By then, the second half of the sentence she didn’t like to hear will disappear.

Thinking of this, Koizumi Anko looked at the magic chocolate in her hand, and her beautiful red eyes flashed with the determination to win.

 …

 In the exhibition hall.

 Kidd may have had a premonition that he was being targeted, so he was out of shape all day today.

He followed the ventilation opening into the exhibition hall and looked out from the interface. The vast exhibition hall was empty, with no one inside. Only various exhibits were displayed as usual, and in the middle was his target today, the "Red Ghost."

 There were no police on standby around the gem like before. Kidd adjusted his monocle and found that the anti-theft facilities in the hall were also very ordinary.

This made Kidd a little confused. For a moment, he suspected that his notice letter had not been sent successfully, or that the date was wrong, so no one came to guard him today...

Kid thought as he walked to the display case of "Red Ghost" with some boredom.

He stretched out his hand to lift the protective shield, and then with a snort, his face was covered in sleeping gas.

The next second, a group of policemen wearing gas masks lifted up the cabinets, emerged from the surrounding "showcases", and excitedly pounced on Kidd.

Several snorts of "chi-" were also heard in the hall at the same time - a large amount of sleeping gas was sprayed out from the nozzles set up by the police, and the gas instantly spread throughout the hall.

 An inconspicuous corner of the hall.

Jiang Xia happened to be hiding next to a jet vent.

 Suddenly, sleeping gas spurted out from his side. He instinctively raised his hands to cover his nose and hold his breath. Then he remembered that the puppet was not afraid of anesthesia and didn't seem to need to breathe... So he put down his hand as if nothing had happened, turned his head and silently started to pry open the window behind him, preparing to fish for someone.

—He just saw Kidd inhaling a few puffs of sleeping gas.

This Phantom Thief seems to be out of sorts today. And if Kidd falls under the sleeping gas and is caught and thrown into a juvenile detention center, according to the time progress of this world, we don’t know how long it will take for him to come out and continue to shine... No matter what, we definitely can’t watch Kidd being raped by the police. Take away.

 Central of the exhibition hall.

Kidd also quickly realized his mistake.

 He pulled up his cloak to cover his face, covering his mouth and nose, and then raised his hand to throw a smoke bomb. The rising smoke obscured the police's sight. Kidd picked up the "Red Ghost" next to him and took the opportunity to use a special steel wire to launch himself to the ceiling where no one was paying attention.

After rising to the top, he spread his arms and legs and used all his strength to support the well ceiling to keep himself on it.

The police in the hall below played a stable role - after being confused by the smoke, no one thought to look up, they just looked around in confusion, and no one found Kidd for a while.

However, people are unreliable, and the sleeping gas is still expanding upwards slowly, soon covering Kidd.

The gas he accidentally inhaled just now began to take effect. Kidd's eyelids gradually drooped. The hand holding the ceiling slipped, and half of his body suddenly fell downwards...

 Then he was slapped back to his original position by a wing.

The sudden stop of the falling sensation startled Kidd, who briefly woke up.

He supported the ceiling again, suddenly turned his head to look to the side, and met a pair of dark golden eyes.

 At night, the dark ceiling, the human eyes suddenly popping up next to them... Kidd first tightened his fingers and instinctively got goosebumps, and then suddenly reacted - foggy dog!

As expected, Brother Monster has been waiting for the robbery... Thinking of this, Kidd was pleasantly surprised and suddenly felt a little complicated.

But now, it seems that it is not the time to think about the pros and cons of being targeted by monsters - Kiriten Dog sat on the pendant hanging from the ceiling, silently raised a hand, the jointed index finger and thumb joined together, and gestured towards him A fairly standard circle.

 Kidd: “…”

 When most people make this gesture, they should be referring to money.

However, as for the foggy dog...

Kid bit the tip of his tongue and tried his best to stay awake under the influence of the sleeping gas.

Then he supported himself with one hand and reached into his pocket with the other hand. He took out the red gem that he had just received. Before he had time to check whether there was "Pandora" in it, he handed it over with a little heartache.

Although he didn’t really want to give it, if it hadn’t been for Wutian Dog’s helping hand just now, he would have fallen into the police pile.

In addition, in this situation, he had to use his hands and feet to hold up the ceiling, and he had no ability to stop possible robbery. Wutian Gou didn't reach out to take it directly, but asked him first. It was already very polite and he couldn't help but appreciate it...

Jiang Xia lowered her head and looked at the gem with red light that Kidd handed over: "..."

You can rob at any time, there is no rush, so the gesture he made just now was actually just to let Kidd throw some more spherical smoke bombs to make it easier to leave - the one he just threw has already dispersed.

But now, Kidd has given away everything...

Jiang Xia reservedly took the gem and threw it into the puppet's mouth.

 Then while extracting the energy core inside, he rummaged through Kidd's pocket, grabbed a handful of smoke bombs and threw them out.

There was a crisp smashing sound, and thick smoke billowed from bottom to top, quickly enveloping the police.

While their vision was blocked, Jiang Xia picked up Kidd, who was yawning next to him one after another, and flew out toward the window he was looking at just now.

Then before being seen by the police cars lurking around, he flew half a street against the wall and fell into a dark alley on the side.
