Chapter 250 Kaoru VS Kaoru

Chapter 251: Xun VS Xun

"Hey, then, what did you know?" I put away my playful tone and began to move slowly around Hongzi, staring at her closely with my left hand on my chest. Once I found the moment when Hongzi relaxed, I would definitely shoot a bullet at her forehead. Regardless of whether her original intention was to care about Kaito, my secret must not be known by anyone. Of course, except for the dead.

"It's okay to tell you. After you left, I went back and summoned Lucifer again. I learned from him that your soul is inhabited by a demon who kills without blinking an eye. Although that soul is controlled by you, Lucifer told me that the number of people who died in your hands is definitely more than a few hundred. Humph, you dare to tell me at this time that you are just a child? How could a child have so many lives!"

"..Huh?" I was slightly stunned after hearing Hongzi's words. My natal soul is a demon? It seems to have nothing to do with my time travel. "What natal soul?" I asked subconsciously.

"Everyone has a soul in their body, and everyone's personality traits are born from the soul. But Lucifer can see through people and see through their souls. And the one living in your body is a demon who kills without blinking an eye, so Lucifer said that your soul is special and wants to devour you, so that he will no longer be bound in this world. But I didn't expect that you could actually shout Lucifer away, which is quite capable." Hongzi sneered. "Okay, I have explained everything I need to explain, do you have any last words?"

"Hmm..." After listening to Hongzi's words, I put aside the conclusion in my heart. Hongzi didn't seem to know that I traveled through time. What she said she knew about me was nothing more than a brief introduction to the murders I committed when I was on a mission in the organization. From her words, it seems that Lucifer can't detail what I did in every case, and even... I suspect that Hongzi doesn't even know that I became smaller. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but open my mouth to test. "What soul or no soul, what can a child like me do."

"Hmph, don't deny it. Lucifer will not lie. Even as a child, you cannot escape the nature of your demon soul!" Hongzi said with certainty.

"Huh...it seems she doesn't know." I let out a long breath. That's right. If it's an alien creature like Lucifer who reads the information of the real world, it can't be as detailed as the name, but can only give a general summary. So it's natural that Hongzi doesn't know the details. But fortunately, this way I don't have to kill her, so as not to make Kaito unhappy, and look at this witch carefully. Although she is standing on the opposite side of me, I have to say that she really deserves the title of Conan's most beautiful woman in the world. The corners of my mouth rose slightly. The next second, I completely lost interest in killing her, and the corners of my mouth once again showed that playful smile. "Whatever you say, Miss Witch, I..."

"Don't call me a witch. Remember the name of the person who is going to punish you. I am the legitimate heir of the red magic, Koizumi Hongzi!" As she spoke, Hongzi raised her right hand in anger, and a red magic streak attacked me. Seeing this, I suddenly jumped back and dodged the attack. I saw that a small hole had been blown out where I was standing. If this hit me, I would definitely bleed.

"Phew... That was a close call." I wiped the sweat off my head. "Ms. Hongzi, you are too..."

"Hongzi, do you think you can call me that?" As if he was disgusted by the name, Hongzi raised his hand again, and magic waves came at me one after another. Seeing this, I didn't fight back, and my speed suddenly increased. Hongzi, who had just adapted to my speed, naturally couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and none of the red energy waves fell on me.

"Koizumi Hongzi! Don't go too far." Seeing that Hongzi didn't give me any chance to speak and used such a powerful attack to force me into such an embarrassing situation, I couldn't help but feel a nameless fire rising in my heart.

"Hmph, demon, are you finally getting serious?" Seeing my angry look, Hongzi smiled as if she had guessed it long ago. "It doesn't matter, I also want to see how far you can go!" As she spoke, the cloak behind Hongzi moved without wind. A red magic circle gently lifted Hongzi up. She landed on the second floor rooftop platform at the main entrance of the campus teaching building. "Unfortunately, your opponent next is not me, but..." With a mysterious smile, Hongzi took out a puppet from her robe. The puppet was covered with ancient spells. Then she took out a crystal bottle from her sleeve. The transparent bottle did not contain any mysterious or strange things, but a hair, a pale golden hair.

"Is that... my hair?" I couldn't help but ask as I looked at the things in the crystal bottle.

"That's right. Next, this child will be your opponent." As she spoke, Hongzi poured the hair in the crystal bottle onto the puppet, chanting complicated spells. Her ruby-like eyes instantly emitted a mysterious luster of magic. The crimson hair fluttered in the storm of magic. Soon, a burst of red light poured into the puppet, and the spells on it became brighter and brighter. As the hair wrapped around the puppet, the puppet gradually swelled up as the rays of light poured in. The light was so strong that I couldn't open my eyes.

After a long time, the light around the puppet dissipated, and the strong wind caused by magic gradually stopped. But an incredible scene appeared in front of my eyes. In front of me, a child wearing a dark red windbreaker and the same height as me stood in front of me with his eyes closed. His pale golden hair swayed gently, as if he was asleep. After a few seconds, the lifeless eyes slowly opened, and at Hongzi's spell, a scarlet light burst out of his eyes. And in an instant, it fell in front of me.

"this is me?"

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

"This is... me?" I couldn't help swallowing my saliva as I looked at the person in front of me. Apart from the clothes and the color of the pupils, I really couldn't find any difference between me and the child opposite me. "Yes." Hongzi sneered as he stood on the high platform. "This is a demon puppet made by using part of your body and my magic puppet. Demons should be punished by demons. Hey, I also want to know what it will be like when two demons fight each other? Hahaha!" Hongzi's arrogant laughter filled my eardrums.

"Tsk, do you think a fake me can beat myself?" I couldn't help but smile at Hongzi's performance. To be honest, in my more than ten years of assassin career, I have encountered countless powerful opponents, but I have never fought against myself, and I don't even know what kind of strength I can have. It can be said that the question Hongzi asked me should be the most difficult question to answer in my life, but it is the question I want to answer the most.

"This demon puppet is made of your hair and my magic power. Its physical structure is exactly the same as yours, even its thinking pattern. I know you are very skilled, but how much can you do against someone with the same physical abilities as you?" Hongzi said confidently. "Don't forget, this demon puppet in front of you is controlled by my magic power, and it doesn't feel pain or fatigue at all."

"So, if your magic power is exhausted, he won't move, right?" I asked with a smile on my face. "Okay, then I'll play with you and see if my physical strength is used up faster or your magic power is used up first!" I tore off my windbreaker and started to move my body. With a hint of playfulness, I rushed towards my puppet first. On the other side, the puppet seemed to sense my threat and rushed towards me as well. With a dull bang, my elbows collided with the puppet's, and then we retreated backwards.

"Interesting." I shook my arms, feeling the numbness in my elbows. I couldn't help but smile excitedly. This is a rare opponent. I used all my strength in the previous collision. If the opponent uses less strength, I can directly take the next offensive. But if the opponent uses more strength, I will be beaten back on the spot. In other words, I must use all my strength in every attack from now on, otherwise, I will lose badly.

I looked up at Hongzi, who was high up in the sky. On her pretty face, I saw a hint of surprise. With a slight smile on my lips, I rushed towards the puppet again.

On the other side, seeing me rushing towards the puppet again, Hongzi's confident smile slowly faded, replaced by a solemn look. "Who is this kid?" Hongzi thought to himself with a stern face. "Although the puppet is controlled by my magic power, it will not feel pain and will not know fatigue, but every attack and collision will consume a little bit of my magic power. Once upon a time, when facing those old guys, the magic power consumed by the demon puppets I made was only a little bit. Why is it that today, in front of this kid, just one move, it took away nearly 1% of my magic power?" Thinking of this, Hongzi's pretty face couldn't help but sweat. "Is this kid really that capable? One percent of magic power. If it were on the puppet in the past, it would be enough to wipe out a whole team of goblins." Recalling his previous battles in the demon world, Hongzi couldn't help but frown. As the battles below collided, the magic power in Hongzi's body was quickly drawn away by the puppet. This made Hongzi's originally rosy face look a little pale. She couldn't help but breathe heavily to recover her magic power, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

Bang!
I raised my leg and collided fiercely with the flying kick from the puppet. The moment I lowered my knee, I threw a punch. The puppet's reaction was not slow. The moment I dropped my leg, I crossed my hands to protect my head. My punch could only hit his arms. Both of us were knocked back by the huge impact. The puppet remained standing, staring at me with its scarlet pupils without any emotion. It seemed to be looking for my flaws. On the other side, I could only half-kneel and gently stretched out my hand to touch the left leg that had just kicked out of the puppet.

"Hey, it's me as expected. The force of this kick is so strong that I can't even bear it." Although the action was half-kneeling, my attention was completely focused on the scarlet eyes of the puppet, leaving no flaws for him.

After a few seconds, I stood up and jumped back a few steps, once again increasing the distance. At the same time, I instantly looked up at Hongzi standing on the platform, and saw that her face was also slightly pale. Obviously, the consumption of magic power was also a big burden for her.

"Hey, this is really a good exercise." I wiped the sweat off my face and thought to myself. "The next step is to fight for consumption, to see which of us will give up first!" Without hesitation, I took a step forward and rushed towards the puppet again. The fists and feet of the two people collided again. The huge muffled sound made the surrounding air vibrate.

"Have fun! Come again!"
