While Kuroba Kaito was taking his final call on the stage, the door to the performance hall was knocked open by people from outside.

People poured in like crazy, with expressions of fear on their faces.

They panicked and pushed each other with the audience who were watching the performance in the top hall.

Angry curses and screams soon resounded throughout the hall.

"How is this going?"

Kuroba Kaito looked at the scene in front of him in shock and quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.

Judging from the way these people are dressed, they look like ordinary tourists visiting London City Hall...

Could it be that there was a fire on the floor below?

In desperation, Kuroba Kaito jumped off the stage and came to the side of Judy Hooper, who was standing there in shock.

"Miss Judy, it's not safe here. You retreat to the back of the stage and I'll go check on the situation."

"But……"

Judy Hooper wanted to say something else, but Boll, who was following from behind, also came to her side and advised: "Captain, there are too many people here, so please follow me backstage first."

Kuroba Kaito glanced at Bol and said, "Protect your captain."

"Well, just leave it to me!" Boll gave him a firm look.

Kuroba Kaito rushed towards the crowd rushing in alone.

He grabbed the collar of a man who was still running into the hall and asked loudly: "Hey! What happened outside?"

The man's face was so frightened that he was even a little distorted, and he said tremblingly: "It's a spider, a spider... there's a big spider down there!"

After saying that, the man broke away from Kuroba Kaito and continued to escape inside.

spider?

Kuroba Kaito frowned slightly and looked outside.

He thought of the world's number one illusionist who was performing on the first floor of the city hall at the same time today. His code name was "Spider". Could it be this guy's fault?

But how did he do it?

Illusion?

Kuroba Kaito looked around at the guests who were rushing in frantically. When no one came in, he glanced at the empty door.

He swallowed nervously, then boldly walked over and poked his head into the corridor.

However, the corridor was empty, not even a human figure, let alone a giant spider.

At this time, Kuroba Kaito's pupils suddenly tightened, and he suddenly realized something.

not good!

Kuroba Kaito quickly got back into the crowd.

When he returned backstage, he saw an astonishing scene.

Boll was seen holding a pistol against Judy Hooper's temple and standing in the corner as a hostage.

Surrounded by other members of Hobo's thaumaturgy group surrounded the two.

"Boll, please, let go, let go of the eldest lady..."

Robert, the butler who was loyal to the Hobo family, was being helped to sit on the ground. He was shot in the shoulder and red blood was flowing out of his suit.

"Hmph..."

Bol sneered and looked directly at Kuroba Kaito who was standing not far away.

"Kid, it seems you are nothing more than that..."

"I never thought why that guy Snake would be defeated repeatedly by people like you?"

"Humph, he is really useless, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Kuroba Kaito immediately knew his identity.

This person turned out to be an undercover agent sent by the zoo organization!

The other party went undercover in the Hobo Thaumaturgy Troupe and became a trainee magician. He was so disguised that he didn't notice it.

He even foolishly handed him Judy Hooper just now!

Realizing his mistake, Kuroba Kaito could only grit his teeth angrily and walked to the front to negotiate with Bol.

"I admit that your acting skills are indeed very good..."

"But you are at a dead end now. Even if you have a pistol, you will never get out of here..."

As Kuroba Kaito spoke, the muscles in his right arm were already ready to move.

As long as the other party's attention is slightly distracted by your own words, you can take out your poker pistol at any time and shoot the hand holding the pistol through.

Faced with Kuroba Kaito's obviously threatening words, Bol smiled instead of getting angry and shook his head slightly.

"Dead end?"

"If it were you, would this situation be considered a dead end?"

"Stop looking down on people! Kidd!"

Suddenly, Boll's palm moved slightly, and a round object fell out from his cuff.

Kuroba Kaito's vision was fixed on it, and he immediately recognized that it was a flash bomb, so he subconsciously covered his eyes immediately.

But even so, the movement was still a little slow, and before he could cover his eyes with his hands, a stimulating white light burst out in the background along with a blast.

In the intense white light, everyone had to cover their eyes and freeze in place.

Taking advantage of this moment of stiffness, Boll turned around and uncovered the black cloth in the corner behind him, revealing a huge piece of transparent glass.

It turns out that the so-called corner is not a wall, but the glass curtain wall of London City Hall, which is just covered by a blackout cloth.

Ball held Judy Hooper's neck with one arm, and with the other hand he pointed a gun at the glass wall and fired three shots.

Piu, Piu, Piu.

After three shots, the stress-bearing structure of the glass curtain wall changed. Boll added another shot, and the entire glass curtain wall shattered.

Hearing the sound of glass breaking, Kuroba Kaito, who was the first to recover his eyesight, rushed over immediately.

However, Boll had already pushed Judy Hooper down, and at the same time, he finally showed a mysterious smile towards Kuroba Kaito, and then jumped down.

Kuroba Kaito hurriedly chased to the broken glass curtain wall, only to see a white triangular hang glider soaring toward the distant sky.

That is……!

Kuroba Kaito frowned and immediately recognized this as the paraglider used by the fake Phantom Thief Kidd who appeared when the Hobo Thaumaturgy Troupe was in Japan.

In fact, the fake Phantom Thief Kidd that time was also arranged by Snake from the zoo organization to lure away the Zhongmori Police Department.

But this also shows that the zoo organization has previously developed a portable folding glider, and its technological level is not inferior to that of Terai Kinosuke's anonymous friend.

Kuroba Kaito just glanced at Bol who used the hang glider to escape, and then immediately withdrew his gaze and looked at Judy Hooper.

Although Judy Hooper was pushed off the building first, the London City Hall is an egg shape placed diagonally, with the gentle slope of the upper floor just outside.

This caused Judy Hooper to roll down the gentle slope and scream.

Kuroba Kaito jumped up and jumped towards her direction.

But compared to Judy Hooper's sideways roll, Kuroba Kaito found his balance right the moment he landed, and his feet actually started running directly on the glass curtain wall.

The London municipal staff sitting in the office only saw a black shadow running quickly outside the glass, and they all showed shocked eyes.

Kuroba Kaito ran faster and faster, and when he was still two meters away from Judy Hooper, he suddenly rushed forward and caught Judy Hooper who was about to fall.

At the same time, he took out a poker pistol with his other hand and fired a grappling hook towards the glass wall above.

This is an improved poker pistol, which also has a small grappling hook function.

The power of the grappling hook stopped the two men from falling in time.

Kuroba Kaito used all his arm strength to drag Judy Hooper onto the gentle slope, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you okay?"

At this time, Judy Hooper's body was covered with scratches and injuries from hitting the glass curtain wall, but she stubbornly shook her head.

"It's all my fault, Bol took away the Crimson Tears..."

Kuroba Kaito glanced at Judy Hooper's suit, and the gem brooch on the chest was gone.

Kuroba Kaito's heart sank, but he didn't say anything immediately.

"Let's go up first and then talk..."

…

As the two climbed back to the top floor along the gently sloping glass curtain wall, the members of the Hooper Thaumaturgy Troupe immediately surrounded them, surrounding Judy Hooper in the middle.

Judy Hooper apologized to Kuroba Kaito again: "It's all my fault..."
To be continued...
