I don't agree with what you just said.
"Magic can also have unimaginable effects on reality."
"Humanity's relentless pursuit of fantasy is realized through the hands of people like myself."
"This is much more meaningful than magic."
Kaito Kuroba snapped his fingers near Akako Koizumi's ear, and a vibrant rose appeared before her.
Koizumi Akako instinctively reached out to take it, but Kuroba Kaito promptly retrieved the rose, casually crumpling it into his palm and making it disappear.
"My roses are not for you; they belong to someone else."
"Such a gift only has meaning if it is given in mutual affection. Taking it by force like this will only increase your loneliness."
With a flick of her cloak, Koizumi Akako's vision was immediately and completely obscured.
She instinctively assumed a defensive stance, but no attack came at her.
When she opened her eyes again, that moon-white figure was already standing proudly on top of the street lamp, its back to her.
"Tonight's farce ends here."
"I prefer pigeons to crows."
After saying that, Kaito Kuroba snapped his fingers again.
The smoke grenade exploded again.
Kaito Kuroba ran away, while Akako Koizumi was surrounded by several pigeons that kept cooing.
It wasn't that he wanted to send the other party a few pigeons; rather, he needed to use the pigeons to attract attention.
The wind wasn't strong enough for him to fly, and he was currently sprinting through the alley, far less elegant than he appeared on stage.
Koizumi Akako was indeed drawn to the pigeons, and thought that Kuroba Kaito had somehow managed to dart far away.
The snow is getting heavier.
The fifth-class butler emerged from the shadows. "Miss, should I find him again?"
Koizumi Akako teased the pigeon a couple of times, then raised her hand to release it. "I prefer crows to pigeons," she said.
The pigeons fluttered and took off.
A few feathers fluttered by, and Koizumi Akako changed back into her regular school uniform.
She didn't look at the butler, but said indifferently, "Forget it. It seems the magic mirror was right. There are indeed men in this world that I cannot capture."
"I'm starting to appreciate this white mage now, and I finally understand why white mages are the mainstream in this world."
The butler kept bowing and said, "Congratulations, Miss, on your growth in mindset. But no matter what kind of magic it is, it is nothing compared to your magic."
is it?
But I lost to a trivial magic trick, and lost badly at that.
This time, Koizumi Akako did not blame the housekeeper, but simply turned and left on her own.
Half an hour later.
Kaito Kuroba finally ran back to the bar and sat down in a chair, panting heavily.
"Master..."
"Grandpa, please listen to me first."
He took the straw figure out of his pocket.
"What should I do with this? I was thinking of just burning it, but I'm afraid I'll catch fire too."
Terai Kinosuke was good at getting to the point: "Just destroy it directly. Without magic, this straw doll won't have any effect on you."
"Okay." Kaito Kuroba tossed the straw doll to Kijiro Terai. "Then I'll trouble you to take care of it, Grandpa. I have some questions to ask you."
As he spoke, he had already called Lin Che.
drop--
"Are you done?"
"Don't say such strange things. It was really difficult for me to get away this time. What exactly happened? And you're being incredibly disloyal!"
"I really didn't know how to deal with her. I hung up the phone in time to avoid interfering with your work. Was I wrong?"
"You... never mind, just tell me everything you know. You promised me that."
The Kudo family.
Lin Che stacked the pillows and lay down in a more comfortable position.
"The last time I met her was also the first time. She said I was a very special person and wanted to hear about my life ideals."
There wasn't a single lie; it was just slightly embellished.
Chapter 64 Twin Towers
Hearing Lin Che's nonchalant words, Kaito Kuroba had only one thought in his mind: That's it?
You've got all these life ideals coming out? What a load of rubbish!
Kaito Kuroba's face fell. "You promised to be my friend, and now you're just trying to fool me like this?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
a long time.
Lin Che still insisted on his original statement.
"It is what it is."
"She said divination was useless to me, but she never told me why she was going to do it for me."
"She said she was a witch, but as arrogant as she was, she didn't use any magic on me. Instead, she was quite polite, though of course, politeness was relative."
She said she was curious about my purpose, thoughts, and plans, but she didn't delve into it.
Lin Che spoke at a measured pace.
"In short, I also have many unresolved questions."
"And here's another piece of information for you: she's noticed both of us a long time ago."
Being talkative makes one more persuasive.
This time, Kaito Kuroba stopped nagging and started a discussion with Lin Che.
Based on the discussion, he also shared his experience of the day.
Lin Che broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.
This is too scary.
First, they were cursed and tormented, then trapped in a magic circle and roasted alive.
If it weren't for the sudden snowfall affecting Koizumi Akako's magic, Lin Che would never have imagined how Kuroba Kaito would escape.
"You really have a broad mind. You didn't even think of killing her after being tortured like this?" Lin Che said, expressing his incomprehension.
Kaito Kuroba exclaimed in surprise, "Killed her?! Are you kidding me?!"
kill......
He had never thought about such a thing.
The enemy only needs to be defeated; once that's done, the matter is over.
Moreover, he is a gentleman.
A gentleman will always spare the life of a defeated enemy.
Lin Che was speechless.
If he were tortured like that, he would risk his life to kill Koizumi Akako.
If he still had the strength, he would inflict even more cruel torture on his opponent before killing him.
Should we let them off the hook?
It’s impossible!
He's not a horse herder.
But what Kaito Kuroba thinks or chooses is beyond his control and has little to do with him.
Lin Che chose to skip the topic, saying, "In short, that's all the information I have."
Kaito Kuroba could only nod helplessly, "Yes, I will continue to pay attention to her to see if it is only us who are special to her, or if there are other people who are the same."
"But I think she'll calm down eventually. I think she's just a proud and stubborn little girl."
The call is interrupted.
Kaito Kuroba stopped pretending and grimaced as he touched his body, complaining of pain all over.
......
The next day.
Lin Che drove straight to Nishitama City early in the morning.
This time, he decided to finish things completely before going back, even if Koizumi Akako wanted to take him to find the gate to black magic, he would postpone it.
Unless Koizumi Akako uses a magic bag to pick up and deliver the package.
However, Nishitama City is Conan's area of activity, so it's unlikely he can use magic there.
"So, does that mean I won't be able to use magic here?"
Lin Che sat in the large pickup truck, his view barely encompassing the still unfinished twin-tower skyscrapers.
You can see that the bottom 20 or 30 floors of this connected building are already in use, because there are many cars parked on the ground, and many men and women wearing business suits.
This is also normal.
Buildings of this size often have very long construction periods, sometimes measured in years.
Not putting the completed parts into use immediately is itself a loss.
The process involves renting out, selling, and recovering funds, then ensuring the overall project is truly completed.
I had pretty good luck today.
According to information gathered by Ai Haibara, Iwamatsu Oki is coming here today to inspect the construction progress with Mio Tokiwa, the head of the Tokiwa Foundation.
Lin Che also needed to come here to find the person who sent the email related to the USB drive to the Mud Ginseng Association, so this was killing two birds with one stone.
The sun shone brightly in the sky, and the gleaming glass on the building shone with a golden light.
After adjusting his personal state, Lin Che immediately set off and sneaked into the twin tower skyscrapers.
"Hey bro over there, there seems to be a problem with the restroom over here." Lin Che waved to a security guard on the third floor.
This is the unlucky guy he picked.
The efficiency was quite high; I found a target with a similar build as soon as I got to the third floor.
"The toilet is broken?" The security guard frowned and approached. "Sir, why don't you go to a different floor or use the toilet in front? This is not my responsibility. Even if I report it and get someone to fix it, it will take time."
Lin Che shook his head. "It's not that the toilet is broken. I found something strange inside. Could you please come with me to take a look?"
"weird stuff?"
The security guard adjusted his belt, gripped his baton, and went into the restroom first.
5 minute later.
Lin Che walked out of the restroom dressed as a security guard, and even straightened his hat.
Kaito Kuroba only provided him with one custom-made disguise face, but all the promised materials were sent along with the notes.
With his maxed-out disguise skills, Lin Che can now quickly create disguises and change identities.
"Ahem... Sir, hello, I, you, alert..."
Lin Che learned to speak like a security guard, meticulously refining his pronunciation using multiple phrases.
