Conan Rick's Investigator

After Qin Zhibo said this, Koizumi Hongzi, who was standing on the wooden ladder, was slightly moved.

After putting the last ingredient into the crucible, Koizumi Hongzi breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked down the ladder.

"Forget it, I can help that Nakamori No. 2..."

"But after I remove the nightmare from her, you must concentrate on learning magic with me and not skip classes anymore."

Koizumi Hongzi has not forgotten her plan to train Qin Zhibo to become a "great magician".

However, after Qin Zhibo learned some basic spells, he never came to class again, which gave Koizumi Hongzi, who was concerned about the family's revival, a headache.

As for helping Ran Mouri, Koizumi Akako doesn't hate Ran Mouri, but she can't call her her friend either.

In the witch's world, friends and lovers are equally undesirable, because they can make the witch shed tears.

In addition, Koizumi Hongzi herself also has to prepare for the witch's adulthood exam.

Only by passing the exam can one officially become the leader of the Red Magic Clan.

Ever since Hongzi's mother disappeared, the Red Magic Clan has been without a leader for many years.

The situation of no leader has reduced the Red Magic's voice in the witch gathering to the lowest level, and it is even on the verge of being excluded.

Therefore, this exam is very important to Koizumi Akako, and she prepares for it with all her strength every day.

If she doesn't think it's worthwhile, she will never be distracted.

Of course, worthy distractions include capturing the heart of Kaito Kid.

……

"Okay, tell me the details."

In response to Koizumi Akako's questioning, Qin Zhibo told her that Mao Li Ran was troubled by a nightmare.

"This nightmare is extremely powerful, known as the 'Yellow King'. I suggest you avoid any contact with it."

"What do you want?"

Although he wanted to save Ran Mouri, Qin Zhibo also did not want to endanger the safety of Koizumi Akako.

So Qin Zhibo wanted to hear Koizumi Hongzi's plan first.

"Um--"

Koizumi Hongzi pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Although I've never heard of the 'King in Yellow', I can use the crystal ball passed down from generation to generation by the Red Magic Clan to divine."

"Divination?"

Qin Zhibo was a little confused, "Do we still need to bring people here?"

Koizumi Hongzi smiled slightly and said confidently, "No need to bother. As long as it's someone I've seen in person, I can use the crystal ball to remotely predict their fate."

"This is the power of a witch~"

As she spoke, Koizumi Hongzi came to the base where the crystal ball was placed.

The crystal ball is still alive only because Qin Zhibo did not call the police to arrest Koizumi Hongzi, the accomplice of the thief.

The first time Qin Zhibo caught Koizumi Hongzi's handle was because of the revenge of the crystal ball, which fabricated a future scene for Koizumi Hongzi.

As for the reason for the crystal ball's revenge, it was because the spirit in the ball originally lived in a dressing mirror, which was called the "magic mirror."

After a divination went wrong, Koizumi Akako smashed the magic mirror in anger, and the big villa with a swimming pool was replaced by a small apartment.

Anyone would be angry if this happened to them.

"Wise crystal ball~"

"Through your crystal surface, reveal to me the fate of Mao Lilan!"

Koizumi Akako put her hands over the crystal ball, spread out her slender fingers, and read out the question with a mysterious expression.

After the question was asked, Koizumi Hongzi, Qin Zhibo, and the housekeeper who was standing silently in the back were all waiting for the answer.

However, the crystal ball remained silent.

Silence...

Silence...

After half a minute, Koizumi Hongzi finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Hey! What on earth did you see?"

"say something!"

Communicating with the crystal ball doesn't actually require any sense of ritual, just ask.

It’s just that Koizumi Akako pays attention to the sense of ceremony in front of outsiders in order to show her abilities.

After Koizumi Hongzi's scolding, the crystal ball suddenly made a shrill sound.

"Too dangerous!"

Koizumi Hongzi was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "What danger?"

The crystal ball continued to reply in a sharp voice, "The existence that troubles that girl is too dangerous!"

"Lord Hongzi, for your own safety, please let this matter alone."

"If you're not careful, even your life will be in danger!"

The warning from the crystal ball is clear.

Although the crystal ball may sometimes throw a tantrum and try to trick its owner, until it meets a more suitable owner, the crystal ball and its owner share a common destiny.

A crystal ball without magical nourishment will gradually lose its spirituality and become an ordinary object.

However, after being warned by the crystal ball, Koizumi Akako became even more curious.

"What exactly is this 'King in Yellow'?"

The crystal ball's shrill voice trembled a little, "Lord Hongzi, you won't figure out her origins."

"If you insist on understanding, I can only say that it is a ruler that existed before the birth of countless suns."

"No familiar can match its power, not even the evil demon Lucifer."

"If I had to say, the God of the Witch Sabbath might be able to compete with him."

“But they have no reason to…”

Crystal Ball's words came to an abrupt halt, as if he had touched upon some taboo and suddenly stopped talking.

Koizumi Hongzi and the housekeeper were shocked by the words in the crystal ball and knew the significance of them.

Lucifer is the strongest familiar that Koizumi Hongzi can summon.

Of course, this Lucifer has nothing to do with the fallen angels in Western religions, it’s just a coincidence.

But even so, with Koizumi Hongzi's magic power, she can only channel Lucifer's voice, and there is no way she can channel the real body.

Even Lucifer can't...

Koizumi Hongzi's face looked a little surprised, but Qin Zhibo had already thought of this possibility.

Let’s not talk about that messed up Lucifer, the God of the Witch Sabbath…

"What is this God of the Witch Sabbat?"

Koizumi Hongzi didn't answer immediately. The butler standing behind her replied gloomily, "The God of the Witch's Feast is the god revered by all witches. He is also the god who bestowed magic upon the first witch."

Qin Zhibo nodded, understanding.

At this time, Koizumi Hongzi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't be of much help this time."

"The God of the Witch Sabbath requires at least two hundred witches to perform a ceremony together to make him appear. I can't do that with my abilities..."

What Koizumi Akako said is true.

She had only heard of this god revered by all witches, but had never seen him.

According to legend, the God of the Witch Sabbath imparted magical revelations to different witches.

Based on these revelations, the witches established different witch clans, including black magic, white magic, green magic, red magic, and so on.

When all witches gather together, it is called a "Witch Gathering".

Only the Witch Coven has the power to summon the God of the Witch Sabbath.

Chapter 734: Female Celebrity Gathering

After coming out of the Witch's House, Koizumi Hongzi gave Qin Zhibo some talismans.

"These talismans are some dispelling talismans I made according to the family magic book. Maybe they will be effective..."

Koizumi Hongzi's words were not as confident and proud as before, because dispelling magic was not the forte of the Red Magic Clan.

Moreover, this time, even the self-important Crystal Ball spoke highly of its existence, so it was definitely not something that ordinary dispelling magic could deal with.

However, Qin Zhibo still took the talisman from Koizumi Hongzi and nodded.

"Thank you, Anko."

"..."

Koizumi Hongzi did not respond, but silently watched Qin Zhibo's convertible leave.

After the red in her vision disappeared, Koizumi Hongzi slowly asked, "Butler, are there really gods in this world?"

The butler's gloomy eyes relaxed a little, and just as he was about to answer, Koizumi Hongzi turned around domineeringly.

"Never mind. I'll find the answer to this question myself."

……

Back at the office, Qin Zhibo put the talisman given by Hongzi into the drawer.

Although this thing was a gift from Koizumi Hongzi, it is really useless.

Not to mention that Kogoro Mori is a staunch materialist and would never allow his daughter's bedside to be covered with these things.

Even staying close to Ran Mouri only increased her self-doubt.

Now Mao Lilan still doesn't know what her dream means. If you rashly send her a talisman and say that you are "possessed by evil spirits", it will only make her more distressed.

In comparison, giving old seals as gifts is better and can be regarded as works of art.

Although this craft is a bit ugly...

However, if the old seal doesn't work, then in the end you can only try to "change your fate".

Thinking in his mind, Qin Zhibo directly exchanged the [Destiny Coin], since it was only 200 and not expensive anyway.

As the thought came to his mind, an item appeared in the item bar.

Stretch out your right hand, and the [Coin of Destiny] will materialize in your palm.

This is a coin with black and white sides.

Both sides of the coin are carefully carved with a human face with an exaggerated, even distorted expression.

Judging from the faintly visible facial lines above, one is a face of extreme grief and fear, while the other is a face of extreme excitement and delight.

The two faces seem to have revealed what the result will be after throwing out different sides.

After taking a quick look at the appearance, Qin Zhibo quickly put the [Coin of Destiny] back into the prop bar, fearing that his hand would slip and the coin would be thrown out.

According to previous experience, if you can actually hold this prop in your hand, then other people should be able to see it and even touch it.

That way, other people should be able to flip the coin as well.

But Qin Zhibo didn’t know whether the result of tossing a coin would only be reflected on himself or on the thrower.

It seems that using the Coin of Destiny as a last resort is also a bit of a gamble...

……

The next day, 9:00 am.

Qin Zhibo was sitting in the boss chair watching TV when Toru Amuro walked in from outside.
