Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 193 Supernatural?
"Souls wandering in the underworld, bringing bad luck, please obey the covenant of red magic and follow my instructions..."

"Master! You cannot use magic in front of so many people... otherwise the backlash will be unstoppable!"

Hongzi had just started chanting when the demon butler immediately stepped forward to stop her.

Hongzi heard this and looked at the onlookers around him. He was indeed persuaded. At the same time, he looked up at the bell tower anxiously - he saw that a corner of the "curtain" had fallen off!
Shiraishi has also seen... Shinichi on the helicopter, who directly "borrowed" Megure's pistol and shot at the fixed point of the curtain!
This is why Shiraishi doesn't like detectives to get involved...

Just this one shot and the subsequent report on the use of the pistol were enough to make Megure half bald.

but……

The effect is really good!

Not to mention Kidd, even Nakamori was shocked: "Megure! You bastard, don't forget what level your marksmanship is!"

Megure's marksmanship has never been very good...

Souichi didn't have so many opportunities to shoot. Among his peers, Megure's shooting skills were among the worst. Nakamori was worried about him, fearing that he would be hit by an accidental shot.

Kidd was stunned at first, but then he immediately thought of a solution - while the opponent had not yet shot down the next fixed point, he took the initiative to use the card gun to shoot down a coaxial fixed point!

In this way, the falling curtain directly wrapped up Kidd, indirectly acting as a parachute, and a large piece of curtain slowly fell into the crowd...

At the same time, Hongzi also discovered that Shiraishi was paying attention to her, so she deliberately kept a pace that Shiraishi could keep up with, and left "appearing and disappearing" from time to time!

Seeing this, Bai Shi also put Ayako down first: "Wait for me, I'll go find someone!"

"Hmm? Yeah, okay." Although Ayako didn't know what was going on, she still agreed unconditionally.

Hongzi was flashing away in the crowd at this time. People around her didn't seem to notice anything strange. Their attention was focused on Kid, or rather the falling curtain!
But Bai Shi had been staring at her, and now he quickly followed her...

Hongzi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the "suspected giant monster" catching up with them.

If there was only one "Demon of Light", Kidd should still be able to escape, but...

If this "giant" was also present, Kidd would most likely be doomed!

This is indeed the case...

Kidd wanted to fall down with the curtain, and then take advantage of the chaos to blend into the crowd so that he could evacuate easily.

but……

If Bai Shi keeps staring at him, no matter how he disguises himself, he will not be able to confuse Bai Shi's sight and hearing, and he will most likely be caught on the spot!

Bai Shi has no subjective initiative to catch him, but if he happens to meet him and he is right in front of him, Bai Shi will not hesitate to "reach out" and catch him.

But now, attracted by Koizumi Akako, Shiraishi immediately abandoned Kid and followed her.

Although the "big guy" is eye-catching, Kidd is now falling and his fans have no time to pay attention to him.

Shiraishi could probably guess that this "legendary witch" must have deliberately lured him here - Shiraishi still had a vague impression of the witch in Kidd's camp, but he just forgot her name...

But it can't be considered a fall into the trap. After all, for Shiraishi, his interest in "magic" is far greater than "catching Kidd".

Not long after chasing, Bai Shi discovered that Hongzi's "flash" was getting farther and farther away, and Bai Shi almost lost her!

Indeed, Hongzi deliberately lured Shiraishi here to give Kid a chance to escape, but...

It doesn’t mean you have to pay anything!
If you can't keep up with me, then you'll get it for free - this is probably what Hongzi thought.

However, Bai Shi was using his full perception at this time, and he began to see afterimages in his sight - just like the "light spot marking" when he found a clue, it did not actually exist, but Bai Shi could see it!

Chasing him into a nearby alley...

call--

Something like an "iron ball" suddenly rolled out, and it was about as high as Bai Shi's thigh...

Seeing this, Bai Shi kicked him directly.

boom--

Suddenly there was a dull sound, and the "iron ball" even stalemated with Bai Shi's feet for a while before being "pushed" back.

The "ball" that rolled back also unfolded again, and I saw...

It turned out to be a strange man in a black suit. It was none other than Hongzi's demon butler!

"Officer, you are now arrested for intentional injury." Seeing this, Bai Shi directly showed his police officer ID.

"Hehehe, let's give it a try!" The demon butler had just advised Hongzi to be timid, but at this moment, perhaps because he saw that there was no one around, he immediately became arrogant.

but……

If you look closely, you will find that the Demon Butler's already hunched posture is now even more restrained, as if... his back is hurting.

Obviously, Bai Shi's kick just now also caused him considerable damage.

This is also his...creation of red magic.

If an ordinary person was kicked like this, he would definitely not be able to get up, or even forever.

"Resisting arrest?" Bai Shi said as his muscles trembled. Adrenaline was secreted at full capacity and the mitochondria in every cell started working. His body temperature instantly rose by two or three degrees and his body seemed to swell a little.

At the same time, the Level 6 "My Style Fighting Technique" was activated, and Shiraishi's muscles also contracted...

The demon butler sensed something and suddenly became a little timid, mumbling: "That..."

"Okay, Hasko, step back." At this time, Koizumi Hongzi walked out from the shadow of the alley.

"Master... yes." The demon butler Hasko took two steps back and came to Hongzi's side.

However, Shiraishi still maintained his "I flow" state, as if he was about to pounce on the girl in the long skirt and long hair and tear her into pieces...

"Director Shiraishi, huh? Are you also...from 'this side'?" Hongzi showed no intention of fighting at this time.

Seeing this, Bai Shi also restrained his momentum a little, and asked in confusion: "This way?"

"It seems not... No, it should be." Hongzi started to tell riddles to the person.

"Your butler is suspected of intentional injury." Seeing that she was vague in her words, Bai Shi deliberately brought up the fact that the butler had just tried to attack him.

Hongzi didn't respond, but said: "It seems that you don't understand the world 'over here'."

Seeing that she seemed to be willing to explain, Bai Shi stopped harping on the matter of the housekeeper.

"Even so, you already possess supernatural powers. In fact... you have also noticed it, right?" Hongzi asked back.

Bai Shi thought for a moment and said, "It's not bad, it's not too bad."

Shiraishi thought that intuition and aura were not considered "supernatural", so they were just... nothing, right? Couldn't everyone train themselves to be like this?
Hongzi seemed to see what he was thinking, so she explained, "It's not just magical things like that. Ordinary physical strength, if it exceeds the limit, can also be considered a supernatural power."

Upon hearing this, Shiraishi immediately understood that Hongzi was talking about "my style" and not intuition, momentum or something like that.

Indeed, in Shiraishi's case, only [Constitution] once exceeded Lv10.

Although it is only temporary, the skill [My Style Fighting Technique] that can only be learned at Lv11 [Physique] was added by Shiraishi!

What Hongzi meant by "supernatural" should be this.

As for aura, intuition and so on, we can only say that current science cannot explain them, but they are not to the level of "supernatural".

Just like...

Kudo Shinichi also has keen visual perception, which is not supernatural, but Hongzi just glowed in the crowd, which is supernatural!

"So...what you just did was really magic?" Bai Shi tried to accept this setting.

Hongzi looked at Baishi carefully, and after confirming that he really didn't understand, she said, "Do you know red magic? Well, it seems that I don't know."

Hongzi was also very awkward, after all...

In this "small circle of supernatural powers", the descendants of Red Magic are still very famous, and can even be said to be the best!
It's fine if ordinary people don't know, but one or two people who also have supernatural powers don't know themselves at all? This makes the "Witch of Red Magic" very uncomfortable!
At the same time, Hongzi was also suspicious - this guy was really not an "insider" at all, but he had such strong supernatural powers. Could it be that...

Just when Bai Shi wanted to ask something else, his keen hearing suddenly caught some noises of commotion and police cars coming from the direction of the clock tower.

Apparently Kidd has escaped...

Even if we use police cars to chase him, there’s a high chance that we won’t find him!
This was also one of the reasons why Hongzi lured Shiraishi here - if Shiraishi was in the crowd, he would probably catch Kidd who had fallen into the trap easily.

As for the other purpose...

"It looks like you're busy tonight. Come to my house tomorrow night and we can have a good chat." Hongzi said calmly.

That’s right, Hongzi also wanted to see what this “giant monster” was all about!

Shiraishi hesitated for a moment, and seeing that she didn't seem to be trying to stall for time and get away, he agreed. Then Hongzi also reported an address - it was not in the Ekoda district, but in the forest of Okutama Town...

Then Shiraishi rushed back to the bell tower first - although he felt there would be no danger, there were so many people and it was messy, so it would be better to send Ayako home first.

From Ayako, Shiraishi also learned what had just happened.

Kidd then fell down with the curtain and blended into the crowd. His fans then scattered as if they had agreed beforehand. The police officers on the scene were unable to control the situation, and now Kidd himself has disappeared!

As for the gemstone on the clock tower pointer, it is still there, but...

"Inspector Nakamori, are you really sure that he hasn't changed?"

"I've already said that he didn't have the time to do that, and Kidd had no reason to switch the items. This doesn't fit his previous criminal habits."

"That's hard to say. You said before that nothing would happen... I think it's still necessary to have it identified!"

"That's your freedom. Once the police have sorted out the evidence at the scene, they will hand it over to you."
