Under Mouri Kogoro's puzzled gaze, Jiang Xia shook out the bundle of cloth with a rustle and draped it over himself.
Only then did Mouri Kogoro realize that it seemed to be an ordinary black robe with a hood.
A skeleton mask was wrapped inside the robe. Jiang Xia casually picked it up and fastened it over his face.
"What is that?" Mouri Kogoro studied his peculiar appearance, trying hard to make an association. "The Rainy Night Slasher?"
"..." Jiang Xia corrected him unhappily. "It's the Grim Reaper."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers. A white, round ball with a tail suddenly appeared in his hand. Jiang Xia hugged it. "This is the soul I just harvested."
"Oh?" Mouri Kogoro was startled by the "magic." He took the "soul" and gave it a puzzled squeeze. "Where did you make this come from? What's it made of? Did Professor Agasa make it for you?"
Noah was tugged into a strip one moment and squashed flat the next, and a # symbol involuntarily bulged from above his head. "..." Rude Mustache, take your hands off me! Don't squeeze me!
Mouri Kogoro was even more surprised. "There's something inside it too. Is that the stuffing?"
"Yes." Jiang Xia reached out and took the Ghost back. "It isn't very sturdy, so don't crush it."
In the front row, the driver listened to the lively commotion behind him and chuckled. "The Grim Reaper and a Vampire. Looks like we're fated to meet."
Mouri Kogoro did not understand. "What do you mean, fated?"
The driver, who had been facing forward all along, gave a low laugh, then slowly turned his head and lifted his hat.
Beneath the brim was a horribly burned face.
He said eerily, "Hello. I'm Freddy, another monster active at night."
