Kidd was speechless for a moment, silently telling himself that he shouldn't expect too much from a monster's language proficiency.
The foggy dog probably only occasionally wanders around the temple. One day it heard this word, so now it uses it casually...
As he thought about it, Kidd felt that his focus had strayed.
——No matter how you look at it, the monster seems to have no reason to lie to him.
And if Wu Tiangu is telling the truth, then the "similar incident" mentioned by the dead old monk should be referring to the incident where his disciple Zhongnian was hanged from the eaves three years ago.
The old monk should have felt sad when his apprentice died, but he actually "very much hoped" that this would happen again...
Kidd was deep in thought, and suddenly felt that on some basis, it seemed reasonable that the old monk was scared to death by the foggy dog.
——To be honest, although the foggy dog in front of me has a pair of obviously inhuman wings trailing behind it, it doesn't look scary. If you throw it into a busy street and meet some bold and cheerful little girls, you may pounce on it and try to bury its wings... It is hard to imagine that a foggy dog can scare people to death with just one encounter.
...unless the person being frightened has something in his heart.
Although Kidd is not a serious detective, his reasoning ability is not bad at all.
With this level of reminder, and recalling the details of the two "Fog Dog Murder Incidents" that he had previously found, he found that the first incident seemed to be able to be solved by artificial manipulation.
This is probably the reason why there are huge differences in the details of the two incidents - the first one was the old monk committing the crime, and the second one was the foggy dog hanging the dead old monk from the rafters without knowing it.
Thinking of this, Kidd tried: "The young monk who died earlier..."
Wutian Dog seemed not interested in this topic and said perfunctorily: "I don't know."
Although Kidd only received perfunctory treatment, he was already relatively satisfied. He felt that he understood.
——The truth is probably that three years ago, the old monk killed his apprentice for some reason. After that, he used the local "Legend of Wutian Dog" to arrange the scene and put the blame for the murder on Wutian Dog.
Afterwards, Wutiangou might have heard that similar people were seen in Shanni Temple, so he rushed over to check out out of curiosity. Or maybe it was attracted by the incense... Anyway, it came to the temple, and then accidentally scared the guilty old monk to death.
After the old monk died, the foggy dog ate the incense in the old monk's temple. In order to repay his kindness, he hung the old monk on the eaves, fulfilling the old monk's wish of "making another wave of diversion" during his lifetime.
Reasonable, very reasonable
...So it seems that Kiriten Dog is not as cruel as he and Grandpa Terai had speculated before?
Just as Kid was thinking about it, he saw the foggy dog reaching out to him again.
This time it didn't even bother to say anything, and its meaning was very clear - it wanted Kidd to hand over tonight's harvest to it.
Kidd was silent for a moment, still not wanting to hand over.
Although the foggy dog has never eaten a monk alive, the damage it causes to gemstones is also huge visible to the naked eye. After Kidd steals things, he usually returns the stolen things afterwards, but recently, his reputation has declined - the luster of gems that have been bitten by foggy dogs will become visibly dim, and people who steal them often I would think it was a fake.
Jiang Xia looked at Kidd's hesitation and decided to add another fire.
Strive to let Kidd go from "clearing the misunderstanding that the foggy dog kills people" to actively confessing to him in the future.
Jiang Xia stared at Kidd's pocket where the gems were hidden, and her tone suddenly turned gloomy: "I'm very hungry. If I don't eat these, I might lose control and run to eat people."
Kidd was startled, and immediately after, he felt the foggy dog's eyes move from the gem to his neck.
Kidd: "!!!"
Looking around, he was the only human being within a hundred meters radius.
And even if he escapes by chance, there is a residential area less than one kilometer away, and those innocent residents...
Kidd took a deep breath and no longer hesitated. He took out the gem and put it into the hands of the foggy dog with humiliation.
... He is no longer too lazy to fool Kiritengu with fakes, since he will definitely be found out anyway.
Thinking about it, Kiriten Dog is a monster after all. Maybe the real and fake gems are placed in front of him, just like the model rice and the real rice are placed in front of humans - no matter how similar they are visually, they smell different.
However, this fact actually gave Kidd a subtle sense of relief - it meant that the reason why he had been taken away from the Dark Star before was not because his magic skills had deteriorated, but simply because the other party was not a human being.
Jiang Xia secretly observed Kidd's expression and felt that the consciousness of this energy core production machine had improved.
He happily took the gem and tasted the fresh energy core inside.
With this friendly exchange, Kidd should be able to save a lot of his murderous energy the next time he catches him - Kidd's scientific props and magic techniques are really not easy to deal with.
Kidd handed over the gem, but didn't leave.
He remembered that Wutian Dog had the habit of throwing away the leftover gems after eating. At that time, he can just pick up the gems and return them to the stolen ones... Although the quality of the treasures that have been eaten by Wutian Dog has obviously dropped a lot, it is better than nothing.
At this time, seeing Kiritengu's expression softening after taking the gem, and then retracting his fangs, Kidd breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little uncomfortable.
——Even the old monk who passed the blame to him, Wutian Dog, was willing to repay his kindness.
And he has provided Wutian Dog with so much rations, why does Wutian Dog still keep an eye on him all day long?
Kidd straightened his wrinkled cloak and asked politely: "You have eaten so much of me, when will you repay me?"
Wu Tiangou paused for a moment, then looked at him with a majestic look that said, "Human, you are trying to push your limits": "Didn't I save you just now?"
Kidd: "..."
...He thought that Wutian Dog just saw him standing on the top of the building holding the gem, so he just dragged him away like food. Unexpectedly, Wutian Dog was aware of the danger of the men in black opposite him and was consciously helping him?
Kidd had mixed feelings. Although the foggy dog robbed people, scared people, and indirectly took a human life, it seemed to be a good monster.
Speaking of good monsters…
Kidd suddenly asked: "Since you need gems and precious collections, why don't you go to a museum or gem store to eat late at night? Are you targeting me?"
Wutian Dog shook his head: "I never steal food."
"..." Kidd glanced at the gem in his hand and refused to admit it without wiping his mouth clean, "But this..."
Wutian Dog interrupted: "You stole this."
Kidd: "..."%
He couldn't talk anymore.
There is indeed a generation gap between humans and monsters.
