Chapter 62: A New Beginning
After saying goodbye to the thief Kidd last night, Lai Qixiao was pulled into the velvet room again, and received two new personality masks from Iger's hands.
One is a jack lantern representing the "magician". The other is a female dream demon representing the "moon".
The birth of these two personality masks also represents the conclusion of two new relationships and the acquisition of two new Arcana.
The magician's Arcana, he could probably guess that it was from the monster thief Kidd, but what about the Arcana of the other moon? And what relationship does it come from?
At first, Qi Xiao thought that the moon represented the garden, but when he was in school, he accidentally saw a floating tarot card on the head of a police officer, and he knew the representative of the moon.
Lai Qixiao didn't know the police officer, and the tarot card of the moon naturally couldn't represent him, or rather, it couldn't just represent him. The Arcana of the moon is derived from the entire Metropolitan Police Department intent on arresting Lai Qixiao.
The relationship between people is not only about cooperation and understanding, but also about struggle. After greeting Ginzo Nakamori last night, the relationship between the Phantom of the Thieves and the Metropolitan Police Department was officially concluded, and the Arcana of the Moon was born.
Now that the power has accumulated to this extent, it is also time for Takasugi Toshihiko to repent. Lai Qixiao thought to himself.
In those days, he had also figured out how to deal with revenge events like this. When dealing with a prisoner who acts for revenge, he should act according to the following principles:
Investigate the object of the target's hatred. If the target of hatred can be repented, then the target should be changed to eliminate the source of hatred;
Investigate the root causes of hatred. Conan's case is always full of coincidences and misunderstandings. If the target's revenge is just a misunderstanding, then it is reasonable to make the target repent in time to avoid making a big mistake;
Investigate whether the target's revenge involves innocent people. If revenge involves innocent others, the target should be brought to repentance in a timely manner. Revenge is a private matter, and there is no justice at all for revenge that endangers the innocent;
In addition, some prisoners with strange brain circuits will have revenge feelings because of some trivial things. Needless to say, such a person should repent.
As for other revenge actions, it was difficult for Lai Qixiao to convince himself to intervene. He was originally an outsider and had no position to persuade others to abide by the law. Moreover, if revenge itself is truly just, it is unknown whether the prisoner will be shadowed.
And Takasugi Toshihiko's revenge plan is not aimed at Matsumoto Kiyocho, whom he really hates, but at Sayuri Matsumoto, who is engaged to him, and has gone mad. Lai Qixiao intends to intervene before he implements his plan.
"Good morning, Xiaolan! And Laiqi! As soon as they entered the classroom, Xiaolan and Laiqixiao, who were walking together, received a warm greeting from the garden, "Are you still having fun this weekend?" ”
Faced with Yuanzi's question, both of them looked away in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer.
“…… It feels like the two of you have a delicate holiday life. But forget it, I had a pretty good weekend anyway! ”
"Let me tell you, I went to the Jianguda Museum last night, and as a member of the Kidd Fan Group, I saw Lord Kidd's heroism up close!"
…… So you were there last night. Lai Qixiao was a little speechless for a while, he really didn't expect that in addition to Black Feather Kuaidou, there were other acquaintances of his last night
Compared with the speechless Lai Qixiao, Xiaolan's attitude is much simpler-simply not understood.
"Garden," Xiaolan asked with some embarrassment, "who is Kidd the Strange Thief?" What is a rock singer? ”
"Not really! Kidd the Strange Thief is a well-known thief who roams the world! He targets the precious gems exhibited in various countries and uses a variety of exquisite magic tricks to carry out the theft! What's more, he was also a polite gentleman and handsome......"
That's because you haven't seen his real appearance, so you think he's handsome. Lai Qixiao thought back to the face of Black Feather Kuaito, which was almost exactly the same as Kudo Shinichi, although he was indeed a handsome guy, but it was definitely not to the taste of the garden.
If you think about it carefully, that Takasugi Toshihiko's appearance is also similar to Kudo Shinichi. Kudo: Is this a public face?
"Eh, that's why you like a Jiangyang thief in the garden now......"
"What's the matter, can't you? Actually, Kidd the Thief always returns the stolen gems, so I don't think it's a big deal to like him. Faced with his friend's doubts, Yuanzi immediately defended his idol and himself.
"Actually, though, I've only recently become obsessed with him. It was after we came back from the mountain cottage that I became interested in the mysterious Phantom of the Thief and began to read the news about the Thief. As a result, I met the Prince Charming of my destiny! Ah, Lord Kidd! ”
It turns out that I have the credit for this! And Kidd the Monster Thief is already famous, and I'm sure you won't want to know what he really looks like!
For Yuanzi, who started to commit nymphomaniac again, Lai Qixiao and Xiaolan glanced at each other, shook their heads helplessly at each other, and returned to their seats.
Before the class bell rang, Lai Qixiao took out the morning newspaper he had just bought from his schoolbag as usual and began to read the latest report published on it.
The headline on the front page was naturally the theft of the monster thief Kidd last night, but to Qi Xiao's surprise, the news actually mentioned information about him - the mysterious black-clothed monster thief appeared, suspected to be the companion of the monster thief Kidd.
The report was accompanied by a blurry photograph of two black and white thieves standing side by side, with white horse detectives and a horde of police officers in front of them. Looking at the angle of the shooting, it was probably captured by a helicopter of a certain media that night.
The report did not mention the name of the Phantom of the Strange Thief, presumably a secrecy move by the Metropolitan Police Department. The media now only sees the black-clad thief as Kidd's accomplice, and does not associate him with the urban legend of the Monster Thief of the Heart.
Looks like I'm going to have to work hard for a while to be famous. Lai Qixiao smiled self-deprecatingly, then folded the newspaper, ready to immerse himself in today's campus life.
…………
After school, Lai Qixiao came to the part-time café according to the weekday schedule. He changed into a waiter's outfit and crisp handsome makeup, ready to devote himself to work.
But unexpectedly, he saw Sayuri Matsumoto again in the store today. She was sitting alone in the corner, shaking the coffee in her cup in a state of exhaustion.
She must already know her fiancé's intentions, right? Looking at Sayuri Matsumoto, whose mental state was obviously wrong, Lai Qixiao couldn't help but speculate.
