"You want me to help you find the Pandora Gem?" asked Hakuba.

Koizumi Hongzi shook his head and said, "I'm not asking you to help me find the Pandora Gem, but asking you to help me investigate the Hiraga family." ”

"Investigate the Hiraga family, why, aren't you a family?"

"The so-called family is only a temporary alliance for the common good, back then we formed an alliance to survive, but now the situation is different, in this era of peace, there are almost no natural enemies in the supernatural ability of magic, which also makes the Heiga family, which is a family of black magic, begin to move, and want to do some crooked things to seek benefits. ”

"So what big news do they want to make... Well, I mean what bad things they want to do?"

Koizumi Hongzi said a bombshell news: "A few months ago, we got the news that the Hiraga family got a recipe from somehow, and that formula seems to be the recipe for the elixir of life. Later, our people sneaked into the laboratory of the Hiraga family and brought out a bottle of red potion, and after our research, this bottle of potion has the effect of 'rejuvenation', and through experiments, a mouse became smaller after taking this potion..."

Detective Hakuba was shocked, isn't this ATPX-4869?

Koizumi continued, "But it didn't take long for the mouse to die. ”

Well, that's ATPX-4869.

Hakuba asked, "Are you sure it's a potion and not a capsule?"

"It's a potion, I saw it with my own eyes, I can't be wrong. Koizumi Hongzi looked at him strangely, "Why do you ask that?"

"Nothing, just ask. The White Horse Detective shook his head. The vial is supposed to be a liquid version of ATPX-4869.

But why did it appear in the laboratory of the Hiraga family?

Could it be that the Hiraga family is actually a brewery, and Shirley or Shiho Miyano is helping them research drugs?

"Later, we experimentally analyzed the composition of the bottle and found that it contained a substance that was very similar to the composition of the legendary Pandora gem. ”

"The elixir of life should not exist in this world, it violates the laws of nature, and its existence will only bring disaster or disaster to mankind. Koizumi Hongzi looked at the White Horse Detective and said very seriously, "So I want you to help me investigate whether the Hiraga family is really refining the elixir of life." ”

Detective Hakuba was silent, and then asked, "Why don't you investigate yourself?" Your people have infiltrated the Hiraga family's laboratory before, so it shouldn't be difficult to infiltrate again, right?"

"It is precisely because of this that it is impossible for us to infiltrate again, the events of the last time have made the Hiraga family vigilant, and they have set up a magic sensor array around the laboratory, and our people will be found as soon as they step inside. ”

"Then you're going to let me go?"

"That magic induction array is set up for us, and it is only effective for people with magic fluctuations, and ordinary people will not be detected when they enter it. ”

"I see... Hey, that's not right. Detective Hakuba seemed to have discovered something, and he glared at Koizumi Hongzi, "Didn't you say that only the inheritor can do magic?"

"Hey, found out. Koizumi Hongzi playfully stuck out her tongue, "That's a lie to you, we are a family of witchcraft, how can only one person know magic, a little brain will immediately notice that something is wrong, you only reacted now, giggle..."

The girl covered her mouth and let out a demonic laugh.

"I'm really sorry I don't have a brain, in that case, I can't help this matter, you can ask for another master. The white horse detective gritted his teeth and said. I couldn't believe the witch's words.

The girl's laughter stopped abruptly, and she coughed dryly, trying to persuade the white horse detective.

At this moment, the bright lights suddenly went out, and only the rows of small lights in the corner emitted a dim glow.

However, in the ambiguous and hazy space, there is one place that shines brightly.

A strong light from the ceiling illuminated the stage in the center of the hall as if it were daylight, and a middle-aged man in a rich suit stood in front of the microphone under the light.

This middle-aged man is, of course, the Hiraga talent who spoke to them just now.

Hiraga stood in front of the microphone generously and decently, looked around with easy-going eyes, and then said, "Welcome friends from afar. Contemptible people and talented people. ”

Bang Bang Bang!

As soon as the words fell, the audience clapped and applauded.

After the applause stopped a little, Hiraga spoke again: "Today's era is an era full of science, and under the influence of the idea of "believing in science", our witchcraft is regarded as an evil art and is ridiculed by others. But they don't know that most of our witchcraft is used to cure diseases, save people, and exorcise demons. It is a technique for the benefit of mankind. It's just because some villains with bad intentions use them to seek benefits and harm others, that our witchcraft is called an evil art, and we are wronged. ”

"It's shameless, it's only you guys who have bad intentions. Koizumi Hongzi looked at the peaceful and talented person who pretended to be a righteous gentleman on the stage, and snorted coldly in a low voice.

It is true that witchcraft is mostly used to heal diseases, save people, and exorcise demons, and it is true that black magic is the exception.

Black magic is originally a crooked way, something that some sorcerers with unscrupulous intentions have researched and will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

"Somebody is no better. Detective Bai Ma sneered from the side.

"What do you want to say?" Koizumi glanced at him.

"That seductive aura on your body must be a kind of magic, right? ”

"So what? Have I harmed anyone?" Koizumi felt no shame at all, was it wrong to attract the attention of others with her ability, and besides, it was a buff she received when she became the heir of red magic, which could improve her temperament and charm, which was nothing to be ashamed of.

The white horse detective smiled.

"In order to restore the innocence of witchcraft, we, as a family of witchcraft, should strictly guard our ......"

Hiraga said a lot more, and when everyone was about to fall asleep, he finally finished speaking.

He said to everyone: "The purpose of holding this banquet today must be clear to everyone, but I still officially announce that Inuko Hiraga Jianren, after many severe tests, finally passed the selection. From today, he is officially the heir to the dark arts. ”

Under the applause of everyone again, Hiraga Kenhito stepped onto the stage, took his father's microphone, and said to everyone in the audience: "Although witchcraft is now in decline, we must not forget its former glory, and we must not forget that it once blessed us. And as the heir to the dark arts, I hereby swear that I will do everything in my power to carry witchcraft forward and restore it to its former glory. ”

Hiraga Kenhito didn't go into a tirade like his father, he bowed slightly to the audience and said, "Thank you again for coming, and I hope that today's sake and snacks will meet your tastes." Have fun all. ”

Whoa—

Thunderous applause.

After Hiraga Kenhito stepped down from the stage, the lights changed, and the music in the hall suddenly sounded.

The dinner is a place for guests to mingle and an occasion for relaxation.

Now, it's dance time.

After Kenhito Hiraga stepped down from the stage, he didn't leave, but went straight to Detective Hakuba and Koizumi Hongzi.

The purpose is very clear, he wants to come and invite Koizumi Hongzi to dance.
