Ming Zeye narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the man who suddenly appeared. He always felt like he had seen this man before somewhere.
The man looked to be in his thirties or forties, but he was stooped like an old man. His teeth were like jagged teeth, and he looked like he wanted to eat people when he grinned.
Mingze Ye recalled briefly and then remembered where he had seen this man.
This person appeared once or twice in the "Phantom Thief Kid" anime and was Koizumi Anko's servant.
If he hadn't watched "Phantom Thief Kidd" several times, he might not have been able to remember this character who couldn't even be called a supporting role.
The man glanced at Chris inexplicably, and the smile on his face deepened. This child looks so similar to Miss Hongzi, it seems very likely that he is a descendant of the Koizumi family who has been living abroad.
"Please follow me closely, getting lost here is very troublesome." The man warned.
After speaking, the man slowly turned around and walked ahead to lead the way. Although he was always stooped, he seemed to be completely unaffected when walking.
Mingze glanced at Shi Jiu without leaving any trace, and then followed the man with Chris in a hurry.
Shi Jiu and Ming Zeye have been getting along for so long, and they have a contract. They can't say that they have the same mind, but they can more or less understand Ming Zeye's thoughts.
It pretended to be attracted by something, and suddenly rushed into the bushes on the side, and disappeared in an instant.
Chris noticed Shi Jiu's departure and suddenly wanted to remind Ming Zeye anxiously: "Teacher, Shi..."
Before Chris could say Shi Jiu's name, Ming Zeye glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.
Chris was frightened by the cold look and paused for a moment, then he changed what he had not finished saying: "Who are you going to see?"
Ming Zeye looked away when he heard this and answered Chris's question without looking back: "A witch."
Unless they are people who are familiar with Shi Jiu, most people will subconsciously ignore Shi Jiu when they see it. But if Chris suddenly said the name Shi Jiu just now, it would easily arouse the man's suspicion.
Fortunately, Chris is a smart man, and Mingzeye is a little more satisfied with Chris.
Besides undercover agents, what he hates most are idiots who have no vision.
The man turned his head and glanced at Ming Zeye. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he continued to lead the way.
In just a moment, Shi Jiu appeared near a castle.
It took out a small black mobile phone from its tail, pressed the keyboard skillfully, and sent an email to Ming Zeye.
【There is no problem on the road. 】
Soon, there was an unread email in Shijiu's phone.
[Look at Koizumi Anko first. Don't get caught. 】
Shi Jiu put away his cell phone, and it passed through the wall and entered the castle silently.
Shi Jiu came to the lobby in a familiar way and saw a red-haired girl who looked about twelve or thirteen years old sitting on the sofa, as if she was thinking about some problem, with a look of depth on her young face that did not suit her age.
Shijiu found a secret place in the hall and lay down, staring at Koizumi Hongzi quietly. Suddenly, it remembered that Ming Zeye had told it before that if he kept staring at a person with his eyes, he would be easily noticed by that person.
Thinking of this, Shi Jiu immediately closed his eyes and used his sensitive ears to listen to Koizumi Hongzi's movements.
the other side.
After Ming Zeye replied to Shi Jiu's email, he followed the man for more than 20 minutes before arriving near the castle.
Ming Zeye looked at the gloomy castle in front of him, and he had the illusion that he was still watching anime.
There was also a close-up of this castle in "Kid", and the scene was exactly the same as the scene he was seeing now.
The man came to the door, took out the key and opened the door.
Then he stood sideways, raised his hands, and made a "please" gesture, "Miss Hongzi is waiting for you in the lobby. You can see her if you walk a few steps straight." He had a polite smile on his face.
Ming Zeye glanced at the man and said casually: "You still look pleasing to the eye when you don't smile."
After hearing this, the smile on the man's face didn't change much, as if he was used to someone commenting on him like this.
Just as the man said, Ming Zeye didn't take a few steps when he saw Koizumi Hongzi sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed.
Koizumi Anko was blowing the steaming tea in her hand without raising her head, as if blowing the tea to cool it was a very important thing, "I'm curious how you found this place."
"I'm also curious, how did you know that I would come to you." Before he finished speaking, Ming Zeye acted as if he was the master here, and took Chris to sit on the sofa opposite Koizumi Hongzi. Down.
Chris consciously picked up the teapot on the coffee table, poured a cup of tea, and handed the tea to Ming Zeye respectfully.
"You guys, do you know etiquette?" Koizumi Hongzi gritted her teeth.
What makes her even more angry is that as her closest blood relative, Chris has always turned to outsiders.
Seeing that there was no green smoke coming from the tea in his hand, Ming Zeye took a sip of tea with relief. He gently shook the tea without intending to look at Koizumi Anko, "Then do you know what hospitality is? ?”
"This is my territory, and I have the final say on how to treat guests." Koizumi Anko raised her chin with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.
Ming Zeye was too lazy to argue with a child. He went straight to the point: "What is the relationship between Chris and you?"
Koizumi Hongzi "hummed", but did not continue to dwell on the previous topic and replied: "If I guessed correctly, he is my aunt's child."
For this answer, Ming Zeye is not surprised. The relationship between Koizumi Hongzi and Chris is not important. What is important is that if Chris can have the same magic as Koizumi Hongzi, then Chris will become a big helper around him. .
At this time, the man who had led Ming Zeye and the others came over with a tray.
"But just in case, I need some of his blood for verification." Koizumi Hongzi gave the man a look.
The man understood. He came to Chris, picked up the knife on the tray, and said, "It might hurt a little, please bear with it."
Ming Zeye really didn't expect that in this technological age, there would still be people using knives to take blood.
It seems that Koizumi Hongzi is still obsessed with the last century and has not paid attention to the changes in the outside world.
Mingze Ye silently took out a small bag of alcohol, a cotton swab and a syringe, and said, "I'll do it."
The man looked at Koizumi Hongzi with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "Miss Hongzi, this..."
Koizumi Anko waved her hands indifferently.
Anyway, she just wanted Chris's blood for confirmation. As for how the blood was obtained, he didn't care.
Ming Zeye touched the blood vessels on Chris' hand, confirmed the position, and then rubbed alcohol on it. Since everyone was a paper person, he couldn't see the blood vessels, so he had to keep pressing on Chris's blood vessels and use the feeling to insert the syringe. Insert it.
After drawing nearly half a tube of blood, Mingzeye pulled out the syringe and asked Chris to hold the cotton swab. Then he put the syringe on the tray.
"Hey, I don't know your name yet." Koizumi Hongzi asked.
Hearing Koizumi Hongzi's question, Chris silently pricked up his ears. He had known the teacher for so long, but he still didn't know his name.
"Hugh White (Hugh White)" Ming Zeye casually reported an English name.
Koizumi Hongzi narrowed her eyes. She had never heard of this name, but last night this man called her name.
"How do you know my name?" Koizumi Hongzi asked directly.
"Why should I tell you?" Ming Zeye asked.
"you……"
All along, everyone has been obedient to her, and no one has ever dared to disobey her.
Koizumi Anko was so angry that she wanted to teach Ming Zeye a lesson with magic, but when she thought that she hadn't learned instant magic yet and this guy had a gun, he slowly calmed down.
"What is your purpose?" Koizumi Hongzi looked at Ming Zeye coldly.
Ming Zeye glanced at Koizumi Hongzi strangely, "I should be the one to ask you this question."
If Koizumi Hongzi hadn't come to his door for no reason and wanted to take Chris away, he wouldn't have come into contact with Koizumi Hongzi so early.
Seeing that Koizumi Hongzi was so angry that she couldn't speak, Ming Zeye chuckled: "Actually, my purpose is very simple. I hope you can teach me magic."
Koizumi Hongzi seemed to have heard some big joke, and suddenly laughed, "Giggles, without the blood of our Red Magic family, it would be impossible to learn magic."
Ming Zeye glanced at Koizumi Hongzi lightly and said, "How will you know if you don't teach me."
Koizumi Hongzi sneered, "Why should I teach you."
Ming Zeye pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and put it against his heart, "Should I teach you?"
"Humph, I don't believe it..."
Seeing Ming Zeye stabbing into his heart without hesitation, and the blood reflected on the black windbreaker, Koizumi Hongzi changed his words with a gloomy face: "I'll teach you, but don't blame me if you can't learn."
She had been so unlucky for eighteen lifetimes, how could she have met such a life-threatening lunatic?
Ming Zeye pulled out the dagger that was slightly pierced into his body, raised the corners of his mouth, looked at Koizumi Hongzi, and said, "Let's get started."
"Teacher, do you want your wound bandaged?" Chris asked with a worried look on his face.
"No, it's a minor injury." Ming Zeye said nonchalantly.
He was measured and didn't stab deeply at all. With this body's extraordinary recovery ability, the wound would soon stop bleeding on its own.
After that, Koizumi Hongzi spent an hour teaching Mingzeye magic. Mingzeye didn't learn anything. On the contrary, Chris on the side learned the magic of controlling the movement of objects.
Seeing Ming Zeye's face looking ugly, Koizumi Hongzi showed a sarcastic smile and said, "I've said it before, it's impossible for a mortal without the blood of red magic to learn magic. You don't overestimate your abilities."
The next second, a black flame suddenly appeared on the tip of Ming Zeye's finger.
Koizumi Hongzi: "..." Damn, this person must be here specifically to defeat her.
Ming Zeye was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but glance at where Shi Jiu was. Shi Jiu was smaller than before...
Koizumi Hongzi looked at the black flames on Ming Zeye's fingertips with some curiosity. She had never seen the flames summoned by someone being black.
Before Koizumi Hongzi asked, Ming Zeye suddenly stood up and said coldly: "I'm leaving first. I will send Chris over every weekend to learn magic."
Mingzeye put a card on the coffee table, "That's my contact information." After saying that, without waiting for Koizumi Hongzi's reply, Mingzeye took Chris and left without looking back.
After the two left the castle, Shi Jiu quickly followed.
Shi Jiu staggered behind Ming Zeye, looking like he might collapse at any moment.
Mingzeye stopped, turned around, hugged Shi Jiu, and took out a paper towel to wipe Shi Jiu's paws. Seeing that there was no dust on the paper towel, Mingzeye put Shi Jiu on his shoulder with confidence. .
Shi Jiu said feebly: "Master, I'm so hungry..."
Ming Zeye patted Shi Jiu's head comfortingly.
"Why does Shijiu seem to be smaller?" Chris asked.
"Hungry." Ming Zeye replied calmly.
Seeing that Ming Zeye was unwilling to say more, Chris wisely stopped talking.
Mingze drove to Chris's residence that night, helped Chris pack some luggage, rented an apartment for Chris to stay in, gave Chris some living expenses, and left.
in the car.
Ming Zeye played with the black flame in his hand, took out a cigarette and put it close to the flame. The cigarette was lit instantly, which directly saved the cost of buying a lighter.
Ming Zeye took a puff of cigarette, looked at Shi Jiu who was lying on the passenger seat, and his tone was a little gentler than before, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"I couldn't stand that person laughing at the master, so I forcibly transferred half of my dark fire to the master." Shi Jiu said angrily.
"How silly." Ming Zeye touched Shi Jiu's head and asked, "Is there anything special about this flame?"
"It's almost like an ordinary flame, but if a creature touches this flame, its soul will be burned clean instantly. I haven't used it for a long time." Shi Jiu said with some disgust.
Although dark fire is very powerful, it is like tasteless food to it, and it is a pity to discard it.
The soul has been burned clean by the dark fire, what will it eat?
Ming Zeye took out his mobile phone and sent an email to Ginjiu.
[Is there an assassination mission? ——Brora]
It was still morning, and Gin was probably still resting, so he wouldn't reply for a while. Ming Zeye said to Shijiu: "You go to Kudo Shinichi's place first, and remember to come back in the evening."
"Okay, I'll be back soon." After saying that, Shi Jiu left.
Mingze knocked on the steering wheel at night, thinking that he should stop wearing a vest, change his identity, and become an instigator, luring others to kill people.
I just don't know if this will generate energy, but I can wait until Shi Jiu comes back and find someone to try.
At this time, Ming Zeye's cell phone suddenly rang. He looked at it and unexpectedly saw an email from Ireland.
[Let’s meet now if you have time. I have a task to do in the afternoon. ——Irish Whiskey]
[Assassination mission? ——Brora]
[This is not what you should know. ——Irish Whiskey]
[If so, take me with you. You must have heard of my marksmanship. ——Brora]
[It seems that you like killing people very much. Unfortunately, my mission is not an assassination mission. ——Irish Whiskey]
Seeing that Ireland's mission was not an assassination mission, Ming Zeye instantly lost interest in him.
[See you in half an hour. We should discuss the assassination mission in three days. ——Brora]
