Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 473 Illusionist

The next evening, at Tokyo's largest central theater.

The big screens on both sides of the door kept repeating the preview of the world-class magic show that was about to begin.

"Günter von Goldberg II, a world-class illusionist... I heard that tickets for his shows are hard to come by."

The rooftop of the theater.

Gin was wearing a gray-blue shirt, holding a flyer in his hand and a lollipop in his mouth.

Just now he had seen Kaito and the young witch who had just been recruited into the organization go in together, and it seemed that they also brought a female classmate with them.

"But anyway, they should be similar to magicians like the teacher, right? They all deceive the audience visually to achieve a 'magic' effect."

Next to Gin, Vermouth was analyzing a stack of information.

She was also wearing casual clothes today and her hair was tied up on top of her head.

Such casual attire, coupled with the lack of organizational power, makes Gin and Vermouth look inexplicably similar.

However, Gin has a different opinion:
"Who knows... an illusionist who's favored by the Red Witch might actually have some real skills." Gin bit the lollipop in his mouth with a 'click'.

Vermouth turned her head and said, "Red Witch? When did you start liking to read this kind of fantasy novel?"

"…What the hell?" Gin turned his head in confusion, then suddenly realized, "Oh, you didn't know yet? The organization recently absorbed a magician, but it's more appropriate to call her a witch."

"……what?"

Now it was Vermouth's turn to be confused.

Gin also briefly explained to her how he recruited Koizumi Akane.

Moreover, Gin also highly praised Koizumi Akako's magical abilities...which left Vermouth speechless.

The latter couldn't help but doubt whether this world was material:

In front, there is Mirror catching bullets with his bare hands; in the back, there is a witch preventing fire out of thin air; and then there is Gin who is on fire but still has nothing to worry about...

Vermouth took a deep breath, eyes full of fatigue: "What kind of monsters are in your organization? I think it would be okay for you to just kill all the members of the organization in Japan?"

"That's fine, but I can't kill the Japanese high-ranking officials as well, right?" Gin nodded, feeling a little depressed. "Besides, taking action here in Japan is only a temporary solution, and I don't want to continue to be hunted by the organization in the future... And if the higher-ups get desperate and use some dangerous weapons, we won't be able to withstand it."

He doesn't have the bug like Izanagi that allows him to ignore damage. If he gets hit by a series of explosions, he will be killed without leaving any trace...

Vermouth thought for a moment and said, "Well, that's right..."

Although Gin and his men are powerful, they are not completely invulnerable.

Furthermore, the organization’s largest headquarters is still in the UK. If the unscrupulous boss’s management rights in Japan cannot be replaced, the organization will ultimately not be able to resolve all the hidden dangers facing them.

Moreover, there are a lot of people in the organization from top to bottom, much more than the Five-Star Group. Even if there is a way to find and kill them all, it will cause social panic.

"By the way, how do we get in? Didn't you buy the ticket?"

No longer thinking about how to deal with the organization, Vermouth turned to look at Gin and asked.

They came out to have fun today and shouldn't be disturbed by serious matters.

"What tickets are you buying... Didn't I tell you that tickets to this crappy show are hard to come by?"

"...Then how do you want to get in? I can disguise myself, but you..."

"Don't bother." Gin snorted coldly, biting the paper stick of the lollipop and kicking the floor tiles under his feet, "I'll go down from here."

He already had a complete understanding of the structure of the theater. There was a passage on the roof that led directly to the ceiling of the theater.

That's a unique high-altitude viewing position.

Vermouth raised her eyebrows: "Can we go down here? Take me with you?" She actually didn't want to make another trip down there.

Gin looked at her with a hint of disdain: "Don't you have a way yourself?"

Vermouth is getting lazier and lazier, she must be condemned.

Vermouth threw out the knife, her eyes gradually becoming dangerous: "Do you want your hair cut again?"

Gin: "..."

There is an old saying that goes, it is better to offend a villain than to offend a woman...

He tried to escape yesterday, but before he could hide back in his room, Vermouth still pulled his hair and cut off a section of it.

Although the cut parts had completely grown back by this morning, he was still frightened by the mad Vermouth - mainly because Vermouth was one of his own now, and Gin was too embarrassed to fight back.

In the end, under the coercion of Vermouth, Gin swallowed his anger and took her through the ceiling passage and slipped into the theater.

……

Center stage of the theater.

Two spotlights shine on the empty stage...

Perhaps, it is not nothing:
Several golden steel wires connected the top and both sides of the stage, forming a huge spider web shape vertically, which was presented to the audience.

However, there is nothing on this golden spider web.

There are still more than ten minutes before the performance begins, but the audience surrounding the stage is already full of enthusiasm for watching the show. From time to time, someone screams, probably they are the performer's fanatical fans.

Located in the center viewing seat.

"Hey, Hongzi, what's this performance like? Is it similar to Kaito's magic?"

A girl who looked very similar to Mao Li Ran stepped over Kaito and asked Koizumi Hongzi curiously.

Aoko Nakamori is the daughter of police officer Ginzo Nakamori, who is determined to capture the Kaito Kid and bring him to justice. She is also the childhood sweetheart of Kaito Kuroba.

Koizumi Hongzi raised her chin slightly: "Of course... Although the illusionist's performance is a little more advanced, it's just a trick to deceive people."

Moreover, it was a crude imitation created by stealing the magic of those witches.

If she didn't want to see the results of these people's magic transformation, she wouldn't want to watch this show.

Kaito was a little dissatisfied: "What do you mean by more advanced than magic? My magic can also create visual deception effects, okay?"

His magic, Kaito Kidd, is invincible!

"Really? Then why don't you create an illusion for me?" Koizumi Hongzi sneered.

"Now there is no environment and no props, how can I create an illusion out of thin air..."

Feeling that Kaito and Anko were about to fight, Nakamori Aoko quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Well... Anko, don't be too picky with Kaito. He's just like that. He thinks his magic is the best in the world..."

Kuroba Kaito: "..."

This is the fact! The fact! Not what he thinks!
"Come to think of it, why did you suddenly invite us to see this magic show?" Kuroba Kaito suddenly turned around and asked Koizumi Akako.

Koizumi Hongzi snorted softly, "I originally wanted to invite Mr. Blade... but Mr. Blade said he didn't need tickets, so I gave them to you."

“Oh, I see…”

Kuroba Kaito understood, but suddenly caught the question: "Wait, you said 'no need'?"

Doesn't that mean...
