The hotel where you stayed.
“When you come to Las Vegas, don’t you want to experience the special features here?”
As a host, Kuroba Toichi extended an invitation to the guests who came to visit.
Las Vegas is world-famous for its legal gambling industry. The specialty here is naturally the casinos of various sizes and styles.
"Casino? Let's forget it." Asakura shook his head and refused, "I personally don't like the feeling that the outcome is not in my own hands."
For him, gambling has little appeal.
The so-called exhilaration of getting something for nothing, the excitement of revealing the trump card to kill the opponent, and the support of everyone when winning money, all these feelings are not worth mentioning in Brandy's eyes.
Just like Gin's cold-blooded cruelty, Belmode's secrecy, Rum's impatience and suspicion.
Brandy's character is also very distinct. Apart from his occasional inexplicable words and deeds, he has an almost pathological obsession with whether things are under his absolute control...
In other words, he is a control freak.
Rather than accepting the cheers and applause of the crowd on the stage, he prefers to stand behind the curtain and control the puppets on it through the strings in his hands to perform puppet theater.
Of course, what he cares about is not that the puppet show is praised by others...
In Brandy's opinion, it was enough to make people happy if the puppet followed the movements of his fingers and perfectly reached the trajectory he had envisioned in his mind.
"That's okay...the casinos here don't welcome us much anyway."
Black Feather Bandit spread his hands and did not continue the proposal.
Hearing this, Asakura became a little curious: "You won a lot of money?"
To some extent, gambling and magic are similar.
Both use certain methods to achieve the purpose of deceiving the audience, fast enough hand speed, the ability to adapt to changes, and a poker face that makes people unclear about their inner thoughts...
Kuroba Toichi, who is proficient in these skills, is also amazingly powerful in the field of gambling...
"He's a thief... When he first came here, he swept through all the major casinos." The former Kaitou Lady, now Kuroba Chikage, said in a tone of "My husband is awesome". The great achievements of her husband.
When Kuroba Toichi heard these words, he showed a little embarrassment at being exposed.
This couple...
Seeing their handsome and loving appearance, Asakura really wanted to remind them that they were in suspended animation and should not be so high-profile.
and......
Looking at them like this, they seemed to have forgotten that there was a middle school son in the island country who was kept in the dark and thought his father was dead.
"So, what was the result of sweeping through the major casinos? Did you find any valuable information?"
Of course, Asakura knew that the two of them were not addicted to gambling. They would do such a high-profile thing while in a state of suspended animation. Even if they had the skill of disguise, they must have other purposes.
Las Vegas, a city that developed its fortunes in the gaming industry, naturally gathers a large amount of money, and money brings about the sale of large quantities of valuable commodities, including antiques, famous paintings and... all kinds of gems.
Wherever there are gems, there must be those organizations whose codenames are animals.
As soon as the Black Feather Thief went to the casino, his purpose was to use the guise of gambling to secretly search for information about the organization among the mixed gamblers.
And the thing that swept the casino was just a smooth process in the process.
"We did catch the tail of that organization, but there was very little useful intelligence."
Compared to the longevity plan in the name of "science" at the winery, the magic path at the zoo obviously doesn't get much attention from the bosses.
It is reasonable to say that if the magic that can make people live forever exists, then of course there should be many immortals in the world now.
For the ancient emperors who held power, they didn't care about difficulty, they only cared about availability.
As long as there is a slight chance, they can recruit the manpower of the whole country to achieve that goal, just like building pyramids, hanging gardens, and the Great Wall.
But now there is no immortal in the world.
Not to mention that people who live forever are pure-hearted and have no desires or desires. If they really have no desires and no desires, who would pursue immortality?
Aren’t those who want immortality all ambitious people who want to hold power in their hands forever and enjoy glory and wealth forever?
"I feel like there's not much point in investigating their intelligence."
Asakura touched his chin and analyzed.
The zoo is not like a winery. The winery at least has research information. The core purpose of the zoo is to find Pandora's gem hidden inside.
And looking for gems is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Putting aside the gems that are wandering and missing, just those that are collected by others... a large part of them are difficult to obtain.
Not just any family can afford to collect priceless gems. Some of them may be displayed out of the idea of showing off, but most of them are stuffed in the treasure troves of their respective families.
And these families... there are many conglomerate bosses who stand behind the intelligence organizations of various countries and are eyeing the winery.
Trying to snatch food from their hands is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
"It's not like we can collect all the big gems before they do."
"But we can stop them from getting every big stone."
Black Feather Thief said seriously.
Faking death was not his own choice. For the world-famous magician and Phantom Thief Kidd to be able to push him to this point, he could only make a fuss about the people he cared about.
For example, when his true identity was revealed, he could not care about the safety of the young Kuroba Kaito and could only pretend to be dead to draw the organization's attention away from him.
In addition, Asakura really couldn't imagine what kind of dilemma it would be to force such a proud man wearing white clothes in the dark night to make such a choice that was close to admitting defeat.
"Actually... it's easier to eliminate the root cause than to stop it," he suggested.
Speaking of which, Asakura has always had a suspicion about the whereabouts of Pandora... that is, this gem that looks very magical at first glance may have already fallen into the hands of someone who knows magic——
The heir to the red magic is in the hands of Koizumi Anko, a witch who lives in the world of Ke Xue but does not teach Ke Xue.
It’s not difficult to verify Pandora’s method, and the zoo doesn’t even bother to talk about it. In the original novel, Kaito Kuroba found out by following and eavesdropping, and there are quite a lot of people around the world who know about it.
It's as simple as taking a look at the moon. Even if you don't believe it, it's easy to try it without any effort.
In this case, Pandora still didn't show up, which was very problematic.
