Kidd the Thief loves gems, but when he steals them, he usually returns them to their rightful owners.

At first glance, it may seem like a flaunting of a skill in stealing, or an addiction to stealing—in fact, until today, Toru Amuro thought so, like most other people.

But today, Amuro has been tasked with the organization, and at the same time, according to his information, many others have also been tasked with other similar tasks - to find gems.

Once found, point the gem at the moonlight, or the "Moonlight Simulation Lamp" newly developed by the Research Department, to look for any abnormalities in it, such as tiny fragments. If there is, if you can get it, you will get it back, and if you can't get it back, you will report it, and the organization will send someone to find it.

Amuro thought about it and felt that this was very similar to what Kidd, the "magician under the moon", usually did.

The combination of the two things is too suspicious no matter how you think about it.

These two organizations must not be aiming at simple gems, but something more important.

…… Thinking about it this way, Amuro still decided to take Matsuda on a mission.

Neither organization is a fuel-efficient lamp, just let them pinch each other.

Matsuda can paddle with him.

Amuro quickly finished gathering his thoughts and spoke again: "Where are you now?" If you're going back to Tokyo, stop by Osaka for a new mission. ”

Speaking of this, Amuro couldn't help but start pondering again.

He remembered that before he partnered with Matsuda, he definitely didn't do as often as he did now.

At that time, I was working more part-time in various places, collecting information, and now I am ...... Nearly half of his job has been quit, but the remaining half still have to take frequent leave.

Does the event constitution also have an effect on this?

It can't be so godly, it should be that the organization has been doing more recently.

…… No, the number of tasks hasn't changed much, but every time it's delayed on the road for various reasons, doubling the time and tripling the length.

For example, this time - the affairs of Osaka are generally not in his charge. Gin would let him come here, and it was calculated that if he returned to Tokyo, he would pass through Osaka, so he handed over the matter to him.

Amuro paused for too long, and Shiraishi had to ask again, "What task?" ”

Of course, Shiraishi knew that there were mission details in the email.

But the email was too long, and now the screen of the phone is small, and the font is ugly, he actually didn't want to read it, so he just pretended not to see it - people who don't answer the phone, how normal it is not to look at the mailbox.

Amuro came back to his senses and explained simply:

"Kidd sent a notice letter to the newly opened Suzuki Museum of Modern Art to steal an exhibit called 'Egg of Memory'. We need to confirm that the gems on the kit are not targeted...... I can't say a few words, but if you can get to Osaka before the evening, come to me first, I'm ......."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a few squeaks from Matsuda's side, from far and near, and from near and far.

…… He was all too familiar with it.

It's clearly the sound of sirens.

At the mention of the siren, Amuro suddenly intuitively thought of something.

He plugged in his headphones, turned up the volume to the fullest, and finally heard a faint background music in the face of the loud noise—the one that Suzuki's favorite background music used during the ribbon cutting, which he had heard when he had been exploring Osaka Castle Park not long ago.

Amuro was shocked: "What are you doing at the Suzuki family's art museum?" "Are you already connected to Kidd? 652 Literature Network

On the other side of the earpiece, Matsuda spoke in a natural tone, as calm and straightforward as ever: "When I walked around Osaka, I heard a lot of people say that this museum is going to open, and the exhibits are all genuine, so I came to take a look." What's wrong? ”

“…… Not much, it's good, it's good to have an understanding of art and history, maybe when you can use it. Halfway through that, Amuro felt a little off-topic, and said:

"I'm going to look for you now, don't act rashly, their security measures are used to prevent the monster thief Kidd, and they will be very in place."

Shiraishi looked out through the cracks in the curtains in the living room, looked at the helicopter flying in the sky, and the police car running on the ground, and felt that Amuro's reminder was completely unnecessary, and he would not take over Kidd's death work if he was crazy.

And it's best not to let Amuro come through, there are enough people here, it's too messy, and there's still the body.

Shiraishi then declined: "I want to send back the souvenirs I bought first, send me your current address, and I'll look for you after sending the things." ”

"......" There are no souvenirs, Matsuda has never bought such things, and he must have taken time to discuss with Kidd and even put the finishing touches on it.

Amuro became increasingly wary of Kidd.

But of course, you can't show it: "Okay, you go, I'll send you the address in a moment." ”

After hanging up the phone, Toru Amuro decided to choose a location that he could attack and defend.

Only Matsuda is okay, judging from his past behavior, Matsuda's conscience is still intact.

But adding an associate to a mysterious organization is not necessarily.

Kidd is a big thief who doesn't kill people on the surface, but who knows what it looks like in private. If the police can't catch anyone for so long, he must be a dangerous person who needs to be more vigilant.

……

Shiraishi was slightly silent when he heard Amuro's every word, and he felt that he had something terrible in his brain.

But rather than dissecting the accomplice's mental journey, Shiraishi is now more puzzled by another matter.

- The task sent by the organization turned out to be to find gems.

Isn't that what Kidd's sworn enemy organization loves to do? It shouldn't have anything to do with the Black Coat.

Shiraishi doesn't know much about the setting over there, but he has the impression that the gems that the organization is looking for over there are related to immortality.

If the Black-Clad Organization suddenly targets this kind of thing, it is not realistic to ask Amuro Toru or deceive information from Gin - these two people probably don't know the reason for looking for the gem, but they are just emotional execution machines.

Still, there is one person who knows for sure.

Shiraishi unfolded the light screen and poked Momiji for a private chat.

The autumn leaves are still back in seconds.

She really made up the gem thing.

Because there has been no progress in research recently, and some over-the-top achievements of black technology are easy to disrupt the course of the world, and it is not easy to use them for comparison.

So after thinking about it, I simply used the gem fragment called "Pandora the Destiny Stone" to make up the project.

- Legend has it that there is a comet that approaches the Earth once every 10,000 years, and when it passes by, it will point this gem at the full moon, and it will shed a tear that can make people immortal when swallowed.

The fragments of the Stone of Destiny may be hidden in other gems, and the other gems can be pointed at the moonlight.

Momiji: [I went to the organization there and stole a sample of the Destiny Stone, it doesn't really have that magical effect, but some of the ingredients are similar to the main ingredients of APTX4869.] If we can get it, maybe we can develop other medicines that will be useful to us, and even if we can't get it, it will also allow the two organizations to check and balance each other, and with a few more tasks, our wages will be increased.]
