Dark sorcerers can increase their power by absorbing the souls of the dead and by absorbing extreme human emotions.
Judging from Lin Che's current style of doing things, these two methods should be no difficulty for him.
His magic was useless against Lin Che, but Lin Che could use dark magic to deal with him when he grew up.
Just thinking about it made Koizumi Akako feel that the future was not going to be good.
But she is a person who keeps her promises; she will not go back on her word once she has made a promise.
Moreover, she firmly believed in the principle that all things in the world are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, and there must be a way for her to use magic on Lin Che, but she just hadn't found it yet.
Her pride as a witch also prevented her from showing any fear.
Lin Che kept an eye on the fuel level. "There will only be more and more police cars. It will take a while longer to shake them off completely."
Koizumi Akako rolled her eyes at him. "If you really can't do anything, I can help you?"
Lin Che nodded, "Okay, that saves trouble. Wait a little longer, I'll go get some money first."
Withdraw money?
Koizumi Akako was a little confused.
Soon, the red Ferrari stopped in front of a bank.
"Wait here for me, I'll be right back."
Lin Che put on a black top hat and strode into the bank, then took out a Desert Eagle bank card that could fire bullets from his backpack.
Bang Bang Bang!
Withdraw the money!
It was just a casual thing to do; Lin Che simply took 13 million yen in cash and left.
With Koizumi Akako's help, the two vanished into thin air, leaving only a Ferrari parked there.
Witches can fly.
Lin Che stood on the sky platform built by crows and looked down.
This feeling was really strange, but he didn't feel dizzy or any other discomfort.
"Where are we going?"
"I don't know, I'm just going with my gut feeling."
Koizumi Akako sat regally on the throne, holding a small crystal ball in her hands, as if she were performing divination.
She stole a glance at Lin Che, "Can you change your face back? This face doesn't look right to me. Have you known Phantom Thief Kid for a long time? By the way, are you related by blood?"
The first part was just an excuse; the last two sentences were her real goal.
Lin Che didn't tear off the disguise; it was a one-time use item, and it would be wasteful to just tear it off like that.
His relationship with Koizumi Akako became increasingly relaxed.
Lin Che walked straight to Koizumi Akako's large throne and squeezed his buttocks in. "Strictly speaking, the two events, 'he came to me' and 'you came to me,' happened at roughly the same time."
Koizumi Akako wasn't stupid; she immediately realized, "The woman sitting across from you that day was him?"
Lin Che nodded, "Just as I know some things about you, I also know some information about him."
He pushed Koizumi Akako to the side to make himself more comfortable.
"So how did you verify that Kaito Kuroba is Kaito Kid?"
Koizumi Akako's expression became somewhat tense. "I used...I used witch's methods. I tortured him with magic for a long time."
As she spoke, she pushed Lin Che's shoulders with both hands, "Can you please stop being so offensive!"
"Then you should at least prepare a chair for me."
"What right do mortals have to sit on this chair? This is mine, the Queen's!"
"Why can't I sit down? I'm already sitting here, aren't I?"
The two pushed and shoved each other, neither willing to give way.
However, Koizumi Akako was ultimately just a mage, and was not superior in terms of physical strength.
In addition, it was the first time she had ever sat with a man in this position, which made her extremely nervous and prone to overthinking—she used to regard all men as slaves and would never give a slave the opportunity to be close to her.
In the ensuing exchange, Lin Che seized the opportunity to tightly grasp Koizumi Akako's wrists, placing them together on top of each other, and with his other hand, he pressed her down onto the chair, parallel to her collarbone.
Koizumi Akako's wine-red eyes are indeed very beautiful.
Only after carefully observing a young girl's skin and its delicate texture will you realize that youth cannot be replaced by any technology.
Koizumi Akako's struggling voice finally revealed a hint of fear and weakness, no longer resembling a queen.
"You're hurting me," Lin Che said as he released her hand.
For the first time, Koizumi Akako felt the urge to bite—when you can't fight back in any other way, your teeth are the last resort.
What does it mean that the wicked are the first to complain?
When Lin Che stopped pressing down on her, the previously cramped space felt more spacious.
"Do you really know where the gate to black magic is? If we fly any further, we'll reach Tottori Prefecture." Lin Che glanced at the UI map.
It's quite convenient to view maps from the air, as large sections of the map fog disappear.
Koizumi Akako glared at Lin Che. "Are you questioning my abilities?"
She then closed her eyes. "I could feel the power of dark magic swirling below, and I could smell the venomous odor of spiders."
spider.
Lin Che quickly grasped the key point: "Wait, why is it 'the power of dark magic' instead of 'the door'?"
A hint of smugness flashed across Koizumi Akako's lips. "Because only by gathering the power of all three dark magic spells can we truly find the door."
"The dark magic power I'm taking you to find this time comes from a monster whose true form is a spider."
Chapter 89 Her, My Girlfriend
Alright, alright, all the monsters have arrived.
Is it really that mysterious?
Koizumi Akako seemed to see the doubt in Lin Che's eyes and explained, "Humanity is gradually rising, and nowadays all kinds of monsters have either long since died out or are sleeping deep in their respective territories."
"The decrease in monsters is actually one of the reasons why there are fewer magicians."
She slowly maneuvered the crow platform to lower its altitude.
"Magic power is everywhere, but ordinary people lack the corresponding magnetic field to communicate with it."
"Special beings like monsters can corrupt human magnetic fields, thus enabling them to sense the presence of corresponding magical power."
"The more talented you are, the more obvious the power of dark magic you will feel at that time."
Lin Che listened attentively, "Then what exactly does the Gate of Black Magic mean?"
"It really is a door, but it requires different kinds of dark magic to open."
Koizumi Akako moved the crow platform to the treetop. "It's a process that's neither too long nor too short. If you're curious, why not experience it for yourself?"
She looked at Lin Che, raised her chin, and said arrogantly, "I will be with you the whole time, so don't worry."
The forest stretched as far as the eye could see, and the air and leaves were clearly covered with a thick layer of dust.
It hasn't rained in this area for a long time, so thunderstorms are probably coming soon.
Lin Che looked around. "So where do we go next?"
It's quite strange that it stopped moving on the tree.
Koizumi Akako scoffed, "There's a guy on the ground who seems to have keen observation skills. Let's wait until they leave before continuing to fly."
Lin Che rolled his eyes upon hearing this.
Could we run into Conan?
"What does the person you're talking about look like?"
"You can't see his facial features clearly. He has dark skin and is accompanied by a cute girl who likes to act young."
Just as he finished speaking, Lin Che's phone suddenly rang.
He quickly answered the phone, "Hello?"
Lissell's voice was filled with joy, "Now that I have the money, I can transfer it to you. To the same account as last time?"
Lin Che nodded, "Okay, I'll be outside. You can do it yourself. I'll check it again when I get back."
Koizumi Akako frowned. "Are you usually this busy?"
The air is quiet.
Lisael slowly said, "You seem to be with a very cute and youthful girl next to you."
Lin Che thought to himself, "Oh, but I still feel that it shouldn't be a young woman."
However, Lissell continued, "Never mind, it's a lot of money. I'll wait until you come back and then hand it over to you in person."
"Also, is the rubber band I gave you too tight on your hand?"
It doesn't hurt my hand, because I'm too lazy to wear it anyway.
Lin Che gave Lisa a few perfunctory words and hung up the phone.
The crow platform moved slowly along the treetops. To conceal herself, Koizumi Akako did not remain seated on the throne, but instead sat on the edge of the platform in a duck-like posture.
"Those people seem to be going to the same place as us."
As the distance closed, Lin Che also used his [Detective Instinct] to identify the people that Koizumi Akako had mentioned.
It's almost certain that this is the Osaka Duo + Tokyo House of Death.
After all, everyone's appearance is very distinctive, not to mention Ran Mouri has a signature big horn.
There's no need to doubt anymore; the place Koizumi Akako is taking her to will inevitably be on the same wavelength as Conan and the others.
The problem is that Conan's side now has a large number of people and will definitely prioritize his worldview, which means there won't be any monsters.
"Is the monster residing in a family?" Lin Che asked tentatively.
Koizumi Akako shook her head.
"No, it hides deep in the mountains and forests."
“It was practically dead before. I only noticed its life force a few days ago, but it was still very weak.”
"It must be that there was a murderous ritual within its territory that could point to it, otherwise it would have starved to death in less than half a month."
Koizumi Akako looked at Lin Che, "When the mysterious pointing rule is triggered, the corresponding extraordinary being can draw energy from it."
"The choice is now yours: whether to kill it while it is at its weakest, or to wait for it to continue absorbing power before taking action."
Lin Che was quite curious, "What's the difference?"
"The stronger it is, the stronger its own magnetic field is, the greater its influence on the surroundings and on you, and the easier it is for you to perceive the power of black magic."
"Simply put, it's a matter of success rate."
So, should we wait for Conan to kill off the person first?
Lin Che didn't really want to run into Conan; after all, it was really strange to bump into him everywhere you went.
But Koizumi Akako closed her eyes as if sensing something. Suddenly, she raised her hand and pointed to the side, saying, "The magnetic field of that giant spider has already spread to that house over there."
Her eyes turned crimson, "a very intense dark red, a deathly color, like a blazing fire, a sign that someone is about to die."
"I would suggest you go directly to that family's house to experience the power of dark magic."
Lin Che lay down on the platform. "I'm not going. After everyone's dead, you can take me to find the giant spider."
Koizumi Akako, however, was a little anxious and grabbed his arm, shaking it, "How can we easily miss such a good opportunity?!"
“There is both the magnetic field of monsters and people who are about to die there. They have souls and extreme emotions, but there is no threat from the monsters themselves.”
How could you not go?!
Lin Che suddenly turned around and stared at Koizumi Akako, "You really aren't that kind as to help me. Why don't you just state your terms directly and we can discuss it?"
