Chapter 141 Kaoru VS Hongzi
Chapter 142 Kaoru VS Hongzi
"I can't believe you have such a hidden story." Two hours later, Kaito looked at me with a melancholy face.

"Haha, yeah, I didn't expect that. The world is big because we can always step into different fields at different times. But the world is small because there are always a few intersections in each field. However, it just so happens that I am standing right in the middle of the intersection of multiple fields. To be honest, even I don't want to believe it, but unfortunately, that is the fact."

Within two hours, I told Kaito about my own story. I told him that I lost my memory due to a car accident and was abducted by a killer organization. I was gradually trained as a young killer. For some reason, I became a disciple of Kuroba Toichi and learned disguise and voice changing. Some time ago, I recovered my memory due to an accident during a mission. In the process of escaping, I was accidentally fed poison and became smaller. I also told him about the environment I am in now. Unexpectedly, Kaito did not respond to my identity as a killer like Kudo did. Instead, he understood me very well. Maybe it was because he was an outsider, although he did not agree with killing. But he also understood that I had no choice, and when he knew that there was a great detective next to me, he was relieved.

"So, you and the kid with glasses from last time were both poisoned by your organization and became smaller?"

"Yes. And regarding Uncle Daoyi's death, I suspect it is also related to that organization." I said solemnly. "By the way, do you have any news about Uncle Daoyi?"

"Ah, I only found out a while ago that my dad was Kaito Kidd I, but by chance, I heard a gang tell the secret of my dad's life. The reason why my dad became Kaito Kidd was because of a mysterious gem called Pandora. Inside the gem was a liquid from the universe called Pandora's Tears. Legend has it that as long as you drink that liquid, you can achieve immortality." Kaito responded with a frown.

"Yeah. That's what I thought."

"Eh? What do you say?"

"Kaito, think about it carefully. Uncle Touichi died because of his own fire escape technique. From your point of view, do you think this is possible?"

"Of course not. Dad has devoted his entire life to magic. How could he die from a fire escape? Besides, even I can perform that magic, not to mention Dad."

"Well, I also think it's impossible, so I've been wondering if Uncle Daoyi's magic props were tampered with by someone, which led to his death."

"You also think that Dad was framed and killed by someone else?"

"Yes, and I think it has something to do with Uncle Touichi's search for the gem as Kaito Kid."

"You mean, someone knows Dad's identity and his purpose, so they want to kill him to silence him?"

"That's right." I said, concentrating my eyes. "If there really is a gem called Pandora in the world, and there is also a liquid that can make people immortal, then everything would make sense. For example, the poison I took could make me smaller."

"Immortality... and shrinking body... is that possible?!"

"Ah, it's just as you thought. The person who killed Uncle Daoyi is very likely from the organization I was originally in. When I was still in the organization, I also learned some information about the medicine I took and found that the medicine was just a branch of a more terrible medicine. In other words, the medicine I took was not complete, or..."

"Or is it that the organization's goal is to obtain Pandora, get the liquid, and ultimately complete the medicine they need?!" Kaito took over my words.

"I think so." I nodded seriously.

"What kind of organization is this..." Kaito frowned.

"Of course, all of this is just speculation between you and me, but I don't want to treat it as a guess, but as a possibility to explore, hoping to find the cause of Uncle Daoyi's death."

"Why. Bing, why are you so persistent in helping me find the cause of my father's death?"

"Hu..." I let out a long sigh. "I've said it before, I'm at the intersection of all these fields. While I'm trying to find the cause of Uncle Daoyi's death, I'm also working hard for my own goals. Besides, Uncle Daoyi educated me, and within my ability, I hope to do something to repay him, at least to find out the truth behind his death."

"Then, what is your purpose?"

"Me? Of course I'm going to completely destroy that damn organization!"

“…” After hearing what I said, Kaito was confused.

"what happened?"

"Are you... going to kill someone again?"

"Yes," I said decisively. "For myself, and for more people to escape the clutches of that organization, I will do everything I can to destroy that damn organization!" At this point, an invisible murderous aura instantly gushed out, causing the birds around the school to fly away from this dangerous place in fear.

"...Sure enough, you are really cold." Kaito laughed after hearing what I said. "Although I have only known you for two short years, I have not forgotten that your personality is still the same as before, you are firm and resolute. Once you make a decision, almost no one can make you change it." Unexpectedly, Kaito did not hinder my choice.

"Ah, following my own steps is who I am." I said confidently. "So, Kaito, what's your choice?" I extended my right fist and pointed at Kaito.

"Is there any need to say more?" Kaito also extended his right fist and bumped it with mine. "Although I don't agree with killing people, if it's an organization that endangers people like that, it's better to eliminate it as soon as possible!"

Bang!
Not long after Kaito and I finished talking, the door to the rooftop passage behind us was violently pushed open, and then a scream was heard. "Kaito! Where are you?"

"Hmm? Hongzi? What's up?" Kaito turned around and saw Hongzi looking anxious. "Huh... It seems that our conversation today can only end here, Kaito, you go back first, I'll come to see you when I have time." Seeing Hongzi coming, I also knew her purpose, so I interrupted the conversation between Kaito and me.

"Okay, I'll send this little brother out of school, you should go back and accompany Aoko quickly." As if Hongzi didn't want me to stay with Kaito for even a second longer, she hurriedly pushed Kaito into the door of the rooftop passage, locked the door, and then walked towards me step by step.

"Who are you?" Hongzi asked solemnly.

"Haha, I say, beautiful sister, I will be scared if you look at me with such a scary expression." Sitting on the platform, I looked at Hongzi with a funny expression.

"I'm not in the mood to joke with you!" Hongzi said angrily. "Just now, when I was looking for Kaito with the crystal ball, his life signal showed a red flash. This proves that something is threatening his life. The instigator of that threat must be you! What do you want to do by looking for Kaito!"

"Threatening his life?" I asked in confusion. It was probably because of the murderous aura and the action of me drawing the gun. However, I didn't target Kaito. Maybe Hongzi's detection reacted to the murderous aura or the gun but not to the target. "Are you... his girlfriend?" I smiled playfully.

"Eh? No, no." Hongzi's cheeks suddenly felt hot.

"Then why are you so worried about her?" I looked at Hongzi cunningly.

"I... I..." Hongzi was speechless. Then he quickly came to his senses. "No, that's not right! Now is not the time to talk about this. Who are you?"

"Me? Haha, aren't you a witch? I'm also curious about my fate. Use your crystal ball to tell fortunes for me. On the one hand, it will let you know who I am, and on the other hand, it will also let me know my own destiny." I smiled evilly.

"You!" Hongzi's eyes widened. "Well, if that's the case, don't regret it!" Hongzi took out the crystal ball again and placed it in front of me. After a burst of light, the crystal ball magically floated in front of me. (Although Conan's world is a real urban world, because of the addition of the witch, let's make it a little more magical.)
"Lucifer, the most evil god in the world, please obey the witch's call. I will use blood as a medium and spirit as a guide to open a bridge to the world for you. Please listen to my long-cherished wish and solve my unknown confusion!

boom! ! !
A huge noise was accompanied by a gorgeous purple light, and a black shadow was slowly rising on the crystal ball in front of me.

"Who is it... Which fool is calling me?" A hoarse and cold voice came into my ears.

"Lucifer, the child in front of you has done such a blasphemous act. Please see through everything he has done and give him divine punishment!" Hongzi said weakly opposite me.

"I said... I just asked you to do some divination. Do you really need to summon such a thing?" Sitting on the high platform, I frowned. "Using blood as the medium and spirit as the guide. You are consuming your own life to summon him. Where are your mediums and spirit objects?"

"This brat..." Hongzi half-knelt on the ground. Indeed, summoning a great magic like Lucifer must rely on a magic furnace and throw in various spiritual objects to summon it in the most mana-saving manner. However, in this situation, Hongzi has no time to prepare those things, not to mention during the day. The effect of red magic itself has been suppressed to a certain extent. There is no way, Hongzi can only summon Lucifer by consuming himself. Even the command-level spiritual words that he once recited have to be changed into respectful words at this moment. "Humph, you can only laugh now. When Lord Lucifer's body is formed, it will be your death!" As he said, Hongzi propped himself up, and his wine-red eyes once again bloomed with purple-red light. The same red long hair also moved automatically without wind. In an instant, the black light on the crystal ball became stronger. Lucifer's figure also appeared in front of me quickly.

"Little devil... Are you the one who disturbed my sweet dream!" Turning back, a pair of red bloodshot eyes appeared on Lucifer's face. The huge black flesh wings also stretched out, and two black claws were waving towards me. A red light flashed, and an invisible force enveloped my body.

"Hmm!" Suddenly, I found that I couldn't move my body. Was it a magical restraint? It seemed that the matter was not simple.

On the crystal ball, Lucifer began to approach me gradually, with an ugly smile on his face that looked very scary. "Little ghost, let me see you, huh? Hahaha, I didn't expect there is such a unique soul in the world. Hahaha, it seems that I don't need to appear in this world in such a weak posture anymore. Hey, little ghost, let me eat you! Then I can..."

"Hmph, you're just a big shot." Although my body was restrained, this magic did not affect my speech at all.

"Hmm? You little brat, aren't you afraid of me?"

"Afraid? Ha! You don't even see clearly who you are facing! Lucifer!" The brutal roar, combined with the cold murderous aura, suddenly burst out, and Lucifer's figure was immediately torn into pieces.

"How, how is it possible?! This little devil is actually... No!!!!" Lucifer's voice faded away as his body was dispersed.
Ka La!!!
The magic power was dispersed, and the crystal ball lost its ability to float, falling to the ground and shattering.

"How, how could this happen?" Hongzi sat on the ground, her eyes unfocused. She couldn't believe the fact in front of her. A child whose body was bound by magic could actually shatter the body of the fallen angel Lucifer with just his roar and momentum. She had never seen this before. Terrible, there was no way to describe this child.

"Hu..." I let out a long breath. I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead. "Fortunately, you used magic forcibly this time. If you had caught the opportunity to summon this monster with a perfect posture, I might have really died here today." As I said that, a trace of evil charm hung on the corners of my mouth, and I jumped off the high platform and walked towards Hongzi. You know, Hongzi summoned Lucifer forcibly this time. Using her own blood as a medium, it was not possible to stabilize Lucifer very well. At the same time, she had to use her own mental power as a guide. In other words, when Hongzi's mental power was not enough to support her, Lucifer would naturally disappear. And I just released all my murderous aura, but murderous aura is almost ineffective against a magical summon like Lucifer, but for Hongzi, murderous aura is a very effective blow, so it is more accurate to say that I directly suppressed Hongzi with murderous aura rather than saying that I defeated Lucifer. It's just that she just focused all her energy on Lucifer, which led to her not realizing that it was her mental breakdown, but she felt that I defeated Lucifer.

"You... don't come over here!" Seeing me slowly approaching, he was also a little panicked. Lucifer was forcibly dispersed. He was attacked by magic. At this moment, Hongzi was also in a weak state. He sat on the ground and couldn't move.

"Okay, let's stop here today." I walked up to her, reached out and grabbed her right hand, turned it over to face me, and saw a cut on the palm of her hand, which was bleeding profusely. The so-called blood as a medium should be this method of taking blood. I took out the hemostatic agent from the necklace and gently sprayed it on her hand. "Don't use such summoning techniques next time, Miss Magician. Besides, I have no ill intentions, this is true for you and Kaito. So, please feel free to be an ordinary high school student. Then, I will leave first, and you can leave by yourself after you recover." After speaking, Hongzi and I passed each other and walked towards the main entrance of the passage.

"Wait! At least tell me who you are..."

"A.secret.makes.a.gentlemen.more.style." I gave Hongzi a devilish smile and turned away from the rooftop. Hongzi was left alone, sitting here in a daze.

"What, what!" After seeing me leave, Hongzi suddenly got angry for some reason. "That stinky brat! Don't let me see you again. Otherwise, I will make you pay next time!" Hongzi pounded the ground hard. "Ah, it hurts..." A sharp pain interrupted Hongzi's emotions, and then she remembered that there was a wound on the palm of her hand from the forced summoning just now.

Spreading out his palm, Hongzi looked at his injury and found that the wound had begun to scab over, but the previous blow had once again caused a trace of red blood to seep out of the wound. Looking at the palm of his hand, Hongzi was stunned for a moment, and then he raised his left hand and wiped the palm of his right hand. A red light flashed across, and the shallow wound was already intact. "Humph, you obviously know that I am a witch, but you still do this in vain. Don't you know that there is healing magic in the red magic?" Hongzi said angrily. Then he slowly stood up. The weakness caused by the consumption of mental power was only temporary and did not affect his physical strength. It was just that in a short period of time, Hongzi could no longer use large-scale magic. Standing up, Hongzi took a few steps forward. His crystal ball had been smashed to pieces because of what happened just now, but this kind of medium still had to be recovered.

"Eh? This is..." When Hongzi bent down to pick up the pieces of the crystal ball, she found a not-so-long pale golden hair next to her crystal ball. "This is... Hum, hahahaha." Suddenly, Hongzi regained her devilish smile. She grabbed the hair tightly in her hand and said, "You little bastard, do you think I can't do anything to you after you've defeated Lucifer? Just wait! One day I'm going to make you my prisoner!"
