Chapter 449 Monster Witch Phantom Thief Food Chain

Kid stared at the magic circle at his feet: "..."

 He tried to pull the fishing line before he could retrieve it.

However, his entire body was stuck by the magic circle, and the little power brought by the mechanism was completely unable to move him or get him out of the trap.

Made several attempts in just a few seconds, but in the end, Kidd was at his wits end.

 He silently looked at Koizumi Hongzi in front of him. Then he looked at the mature and charming woman with a dark red hood who came out from the other side, and a desperate curse emerged in his heart.

 …Why are there so many unscientific comparisons everywhere?

 The life of ordinary male high school students is getting increasingly difficult.

 …

Kuroba Kaito was put into the car by the witches and then all the way to the castle in the suburbs.

 On the way, he tried to escape several times, but failed repeatedly and failed to escape from the witch's poisonous claws.

After catching someone for the last time, Minamoto Kurenai tapped her chin with her fingertips, looking at Kidd and thinking:

"My magic power has not flowed abnormally. I have given you so many opportunities, and you have never shown any signs of turning into a monster and increasing your chances of escaping. It seems that you are not that monster, but Kidd?"

　　　…”

Kidd didn't say anything, and was secretly wary. It sounded like this new witch was coming for the foggy dog.

 …With Koizumi Hongzi’s experience, they should have discovered Kiriten Dog’s behavior of cheating on magic power. Why do you go out of your way to deliver food and look so confident?

 Could it be that you have found a way to deal with the monsters, and this time you want to come to settle the score with Wutian Dog? Speaking of which, this new face does look better than the underage Koizumi Anko...

Thinking of this, Kidd's originally relaxed heart sank slightly - this is not impossible. After all, Grandpa Terai said that magicians have corresponding inheritance. Not only have they honed their exquisite magic power during the long inheritance, but also Accumulated a wealth of knowledge.

 …Among them, if one or two items can restrain monsters, it would be very reasonable.

Furthermore, the little witch brought out the big witch specifically to find Kiriten Dog, probably not just for revenge.

Kidd thought of the habits of the legendary witches, and could not help but think of several bottles and jars in his mind - one with the label "Foggy Dog Meat", another with "Foggy Dog Skeleton", and there were also Foggy Dog tags Heart, liver, spleen, stomach, lungs, eyes, wings... In this world, even parts of ordinary animals and plants can become precious materials, not to mention the Kiriten Dog which is very rare and precious in itself.

Thinking of the **** scene that he imagined in his mind, Kidd looked at Minamoto Kurenai who started to ask questions, and immediately closed his mouth tighter.

 …

Minamoto Hongnai asked a few questions, but received no response, so she simply sat up straight again and ignored him.

When she arrived, she dragged Kidd, who was surrounded by magic, into the castle and threw him into the magic circle drawn in advance.

 This magic circle is exactly the same as the one arranged by Koizumi Hongzi a few days ago.

Kidd looked familiar, and originally thought it was another clingy glue formation.

However, the moment he fell in, he couldn't help but let out a suppressed scream.

—Kidd had been in the same formation for so long before and felt no discomfort except that his movements were blocked.

But now, without a foggy dog ​​who likes to eat magic, he was shocked to realize that humans and monsters are indeed different. He also realized belatedly what the magic circle arranged by the witches was.

—This is not just a net for catching prey, but more like a crematorium that gives the roasted person an immortal curse. The moment he fell into the magic circle, from his skin to his muscles, it penetrated deep into his bone marrow. Every cell seemed to be torn and burned by flames. The pain was worse than being wrapped in a needle blanket full of steel thorns and being dragged by a horse. Minamoto Hongna gathered her robe, stood elegantly next to the magic circle, and asked softly: "Where does that monster usually live? Where can I find him?"

Kidd's forehead was covered in painful cold sweat, but his mouth was still stubborn: "What monster...can you respect science...read more and be less superstitious?"

 “Lying in the magic circle and talking about science…”

Minamoto Hongnai snorted lightly, bent down, and pulled out a piece of Kid's hair.

She raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and red flames rose up, engulfing her hair silently.

Minamoto Kurenai stared at the fire in her palm for a while, then stretched out her hand and put the gradually dissipating firelight against the crystal ball.

The originally clear crystal suddenly became turbid, as if covered with a layer of hazy smoke.

 Following that, the scene inside changed, and several blurry pictures flashed through—

 The scenes shown in the picture are all late at night.

 The protagonists at night are the Phantom Thief wearing a striking white cloak, and the Kiriten Dog who reaches out to the Phantom Thief as if to receive something.

 …This is the intersection of Kidd and Misty Dog.

Minamoto Kurenai looked back at these scenes and felt as if Kiriten Dog was handing tools to Kidd. At the same time, she secretly guessed: Could it be that Kidd, as an ordinary person, could repeatedly steal treasures and ignore countless police officers who rounded him up? Because he actually has an elusive monster helper?

Thinking along this line of thought, Minamoto Kurenai suddenly nodded secretly—Kid wore eye-catching white, perhaps to attract attention to himself, so that the monster who helped him steal would be more invisible, making it easier to move in secret...

 Now, Minamoto Kurenai is more concerned about another piece of information than the cooperative method of stealing treasures between Kaitou and Youkai—

Judging from the divination results, the high school student they captured was indeed Kidd.

 And he did have contacts with Wutian Dog.

"You guys really know each other." Minamoto Kurenai put down the crystal ball and dragged her robe back to the magic circle.

She lowered her head to look at Kidd, who was scorched by magic and curled up in pain. She smoothed her hair that was hanging down from her hood and asked slowly:

“How do you usually contact each other? Letters? Phone calls? Notice letters?

"As long as you help me find him, I can disperse the magic circle immediately - the feeling of being burned by invisible flames is not pleasant."

　　　…”

 Kid looked at the red hem of Minamoto Kurenai's robe, listened to her wonderfully rhythmic words, and fell into deep thought.

People have human rights. Even a witch should not kill easily.

 But monsters should not be protected by law…

 The row of materials named "Fog Sky Dog xx" appeared in his mind again, and he shuddered silently. Half of it hurt, and half of it was shocked by the dismemberment scene in his mind.

Seeing that Kidd was back to pretending to be deaf and dumb, Minamoto Kurenai frowned slightly.

 She impatiently raised her foot and stamped the ground, and the magic power visible to the naked eye rose. The stinging pain, like bone marrow grinding, instantly became clearer and more intense.

Kid's eyes darkened for a moment.

He felt the gradually increasing power of the magic circle. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and spoke in a low voice: "...Usually...of course we use the phone..."
