Model worker and his little darling

I let out a long breath, put away the photos, and banished those chaotic thoughts from my mind.

The two left in silence. Pingqing glanced back and felt a chill run down her spine; what she had seen tonight was far too shocking.

As I stepped out of the Dusk Villa, the sky was already beginning to lighten.

Standing in the courtyard, looking at this quaint villa, Pingqing felt even more conflicted.

"We can be both God and the devil, since we're trying to raise the dead against the flow of time."

Hearing this, Gin gripped Hirai's hand tightly. "We should go."

After staying at the base until night, Hirakiyo went directly to Kaito Kuroba.

Seeing Taira no Kiyoshi's sudden visit, Kaito Kuroba asked curiously, "Taira no Kiyoshi-nii, what brings you here? It's been a long time since you've let me over."

After thinking for a moment and realizing it had been a long time since he'd seen Kaito Kuroba, he said, "I've been a bit busy lately, so I came to see if you've slacked off on your training."

Kaito Kuroba immediately stood up straight. "I've always tried my best, Hirakiyo-nii. Let's have a go." He then beckoned to Hirakiyo.

Seeing Kaito Kuroba begin to provoke him, Hirai raised an eyebrow, "Come on, let me see what you've accomplished during this time."

Kaito Kuroba's speed and power had increased slightly, which satisfied Hirakiyo, so he went a little harder. After beating Kaito Kuroba up, Hirakiyo finally revealed his true purpose, "Kaito, do you know anything about magic?"

Kaito Kuroba sat on the ground, scratching his head. "Magic? I don't know any. I only know that Akako Koizumi knows magic."

"Then I'll just go find Koizumi Akako directly."

Seeing that Taira was about to leave, Kaito Kuroba quickly stood up. "Taira-nii, take me with you! I want to go too." Taira looked like he was going to ask about magic, and he was very curious.

Pingqing nodded and led his people to a coffee shop. As soon as they entered, they saw Koizumi Akako sitting alone in a corner.

Good evening, Miss Akako.

Koizumi Akako smiled alluringly, "Good evening."

I looked around; no one was there, it was very quiet, perfect for talking.

“Miss Hongzi, do you know about this?” Pingqing took out his phone and showed a photo, which he had drawn based on the patterns of the Twilight Villa.

Upon seeing the picture on Heikiyo's phone, Koizumi Akako's beautiful eyes flashed, and she glanced at Heikiyo. "This is a magic circle, but it's incomplete, and I can't tell what it's used for."

Pingqing tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table. Tsk, Twilight Villa.

Forty years ago, during an auction, two men entered the Twilight Villa under the pretense of seeking shelter from the rain. After smoking the cigarettes the two men brought, everyone inside lost their minds and began killing each other, turning the Twilight Villa into a living hell.

He remembered Conan mentioning marijuana, but could marijuana alone produce such an effect?

So, did the magic circle affect those people?

Are there any other magicians in this world?

"Yes, but when I first met you, I thought you knew black magic."

Pingqing blinked. "Maybe I really can."

Koizumi Akako nodded. "The dark aura around you is indeed strong, but you give me a very strange feeling. Apart from the first time, the subsequent divinations have yielded no results."

Taira no Kiyoshi: ...

Xiaoqi is awesome.

"Besides black magic, are there any others?"

"There are four schools of magic in Japan: black, white, red, and green. There may also be mysterious schools that have never appeared in public. White magic is a kind of magic that attempts to influence the world in a supernatural way. Black magic is mainly aimed at harming others, and achieves its purpose of murder, disease, etc. through curses, secret rituals, etc."

"Green magic is mostly used to deal with enemies or take revenge on others, and can also be used for healing and exorcism. Red magic mainly includes magic that helps oneself and one's companions. Apart from red magic, the other magic traditions have gradually been lost over a long period of time. The outside world is now unaware of the existence of magic."

"Can an ordinary person become a magician through learning?"

He was still very curious about these strange things. He had also considered that the Karasuma family might use magic, as well as Kaito Kuroba's family.

"Maybe."

"What is the source of that magic?"

"For example, there are two sources of black magic: one is drawing power from the darkness of nature, and the other is the darkness of human nature."

Hearing this, Hirakiyo nodded. That's interesting. It seems Koizumi Akako still believes he's connected to black magic.

Koizumi Akako looked at Hirakiyo and said, "You don't actually want to learn dark magic, do you?"

Ping Qing smiled. "Magic has no effect on me. I'm just curious. But if I could learn it, I wouldn't refuse."

Who would dislike someone who can make themselves strong?

Kaito Kuroba watched the two curiously, silently sipping his cola. The strange magical duel between the two last time flashed through his mind; how come there were so many magicians in this world?

The Spider that was chasing him could do that too, but he was all alone, looking pathetic, and couldn't do anything.

"Besides, Miss Witch, the age of magic is over."

Judging from the old man's attitude towards the zoo, he didn't seem to care much, which suggests that magic isn't that powerful and even has many limitations.

Ha, a magician can withstand bullets, but can he withstand rockets? And how many can he withstand?

All fear stems from insufficient firepower; under the weight of artillery shells, all beings are equal.

These words left Koizumi Akako speechless. Sensing the disdain emanating from Hirakiyo, she immediately cast a binding spell on him.

Ping Qing shrugged. "I already told you magic doesn't work on me." Sigh, if he knew magic, he would have just fought back.

Kaito Kuroba looked at Hirai with envy. He wished he had that ability too, so he wouldn't fall into other people's illusions so easily and have to be saved by Hirai.

"As long as magicians exist, magic will be passed down, and one day in the future, magic will rise again."

Seeing Koizumi Akako suddenly acting like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), Hirakiyo's lips twitched. "Girl, wake up."

"Kaito, you know about what happened at the Twilight Villa, right?"

Hearing this, Kaito Kuroba was furious. "I'm going to see who's using my name to ruin my reputation. Taira-kiyo, what's wrong? Are you going too?"

"Hmm, Miss Akako, are you interested?"

Koizumi Akako shook her head. "Not interested."

Ping Qing hummed in agreement; after all, he had only asked casually. If Hongzi went, he could give Conan a good scare and shake the banner of materialism.

And then there's Hakuba Saguru, who chased Spider all the way to Japan. He's a detective too, but Hakuba Saguru believes in magic. Conan would probably go crazy.
