Chapter 995: It was the past, it is a perversion now
Chapter 995: It was the past, it is a perversion now
After this unpleasant transaction, Alice abandoned Arsene without any regrets and left with the cash box he brought.
Although she herself despises this money, the money from selling her "second-hand original clothes" will actually become the organization's funds. The Hawkeye organization promised that the money will be used to improve the living conditions of the orphans, which is why Alice is willing to sell her clothes.
She is more or less a girl, even though she has admired the Phantom Thief Arsene since she was a child and once regarded him as her idol and therefore does not mind him wearing her clothes... but those were also her favorite clothes.
If she didn't like them, why would she wear these dresses to attend the grandest and most formal banquets?
Now that she had calmed down, she suddenly realized where the money "used to improve the living conditions of orphans" had been spent.
Obviously... the Kree Party.
Although Alice was indeed naive, her social identity was a journalist after all, so it was impossible for her not to know the existence and rules of the Kray Party.
Working in the media industry, you can't be so innocent. It is a melting pot filled with all kinds of malice and evil.
Aren't those people "orphans"? They were bribed by Hawkeye's subordinate organizations to carry out various illegal activities. And these children also get money from the superior organization... Isn't this the purpose of "improving the living conditions of orphans"?
It's not that she didn't know about this. It's just that she always wishfully believed that the Moon Child was the culprit for all the chaos, sin, poverty, and depravity in Iris Flower. If she wanted to solve all the problems, she had to solve the Moon Child first. On the other hand, if she could solve the Moon Child, those messy little problems would surely heal themselves.
Therefore, she regarded these "little imperfect problems" as "necessary pains on the road to expelling the Moon Child."
——Until today, she suddenly realized that the organization had never really trusted her. She was not even a person, but a middleman when the family and the Hawkeye organization completed the transaction...
When the filter is broken, smart IQ immediately takes over.
All those things that she once knew but deliberately ignored now came to her mind all at once.
She planned to think carefully about what else she hadn't been told after she returned!
——Then I would build up my emotions and tears and complain to my father!
At this moment, the reporter who was famous for being "rebellious and independent" and who always wore hot clothes and behaved frivolously outside seemed to have rejuvenated and turned back into the little girl she used to be.
But from another perspective...from "playing an adult" to "playing a child", it proves that she has indeed grown up.
However, until Alice left angrily, she did not realize what the "Ibn Ritualist" had deliberately overlooked.
Yasen stared at her back and chuckled, "Sure enough... you're still a child, right?"
“It’s pretty good.”
Aiwass, who was playing the role of "Ibn Ritual Master", raised his eyebrows and commented: "He is still a little immature, and the most important thing is that he is not firm enough."
"yes……"
Aleister, who was in his arms, also smiled and said, "Because I heard bigger news, I unknowingly forgot my original purpose and doubts... I really miss it. I had such a time in my life."
"Back then?" Aiwass asked appropriately.
"Well, when I was still a clear and stupid college student."
Aleister, who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, said briskly, "If I remember correctly, she does seem to be a recent college graduate."
Everyone present concealed the same thing from Alice.
——That is why Moon Child and Hawkeye are keeping watch on this place at the same time.
Alice was just a little confused, but her attention was easily attracted by Yassen's exaggerated performance, and she soon focused on the extra keys in the suitcase.
But in fact, the thing she ignored was the key.
Although the assassins of the Hawkeye Organization are good at lurking, the Son of the Moon can sense the blood of others; and even though the Son of the Moon is exactly the same as ordinary people under normal circumstances, Hawkeye has already done research on the Son of the Moon - coupled with the perception and intuition ability of adapting to the Tao, it can be said that they are exposed under each other's noses at the same time.
"The child is gone."
Aiwass looked at Yasen and said, "Next, let's talk about adults."
The white-haired vampire laughed sinisterly, but Arsene showed no sign of nervousness and instead leaned back.
"Come to think of it, it was because of this incident that I was sure that you were not a bad person."
Yasen said casually, "You don't want that child to get involved in any trouble."
Indeed, Aiwass thought.
No matter what conspiracy her family was brewing, she was indeed innocent... and she risked her life for the country and humanity. That was why Aiwass had released her after arresting her. Otherwise, she was just the daughter of the Duke of the Human Kingdom. How could she leave so easily when she was involved in a major case like the assassination of the Eternal Pope?
But the white-haired vampire just sneered: "I just think she's in the way."
"Good good..."
Yasen waved his hand, treating it as a disguise of stubbornness or professionalism: "Now that the troublemaker has left, I have to tell you something more important."
As he spoke, he leaned back in his chair, waved his hand lazily, snapped his fingers, and said loudly, "Okay, guys - please go out for a while, okay?"
next moment.
Everyone in the originally noisy tavern suddenly shut their mouths at the same time.
Diners, drunkards, sailors, bards...even the man who worked part-time as a front desk clerk, chef, bartender and boss, all stood up and wanted to leave.
"Hey, you can't leave!"
Yassen suddenly rushed forward and grabbed the boss's sleeve. "Give me some beer - I also want a beef stew in red wine, cream and pepper calf's tripe, chicken liver mousse, and a doughnut. Oh, and a rice pudding with ice and linden honey. Keep an account - this gentleman's account will be put on me too."
"Don't even think about it, you vile thief! Burglar! Duck!"
The boss struggled to break free and cursed back rudely: "You have already recorded the bill three times. My small business can't stand your wicked default!"
"Well, I'll pay it back next time... I didn't bring any money this time... You know, I don't usually carry money when I go out..."
"There won't be a next time, Yassen! Just drink water!"
The boss left angrily.
Yes, that's not mind control.
——It’s just that everyone in this bar is his people.
As a thief who has been active in Iris for more than ten years, his story is still so popular in Iris today, and can even be written into a novel and sold overseas... All of this must be spontaneous, which is impossible even for a life sitcom or children's animation that has been serialized for thousands of episodes.
As a Phantom Thief who has devoted himself to the path of Taoism, he certainly has his own power.
He has always helped the weak and robbed the rich to help the poor. Even though he gave away almost all the money he stole, completing a "reasonable redistribution", this does not mean that he has no ability to form a force. After all, there are many people who have been saved by him, and many people who are hated by the thief have been severely punished. It is natural that these people will become followers of the thief.
It is because of his solid network of contacts in various industries that he can always issue accurate "crime notices". He cannot investigate such things by himself alone. After all, there are some crimes that only people in the industry can clearly understand their significance, and outsiders cannot even understand the professional terms.
After all, this was an era without search engines, and industry knowledge was such a high cognitive barrier.
...But after becoming completely familiar with him, the "idol halo" around him also dissipated, and people gradually went from admiring him to disliking him.
As nationally renowned idols, he and Sherlock have similar yet opposite situations - the more familiar people are with Sherlock, the more they respect and distance themselves from him; and he is disliked and distanced by the "relatively conservative-minded" Iris people because of his increasingly unconcealed perverted behavior.
Aiwass knew some of his dark history - after all, Arsen had been a frequent event NPC since the mid-game. The usual form of the event was that he hid the newly stolen treasure in a designated location, and then made up a riddle for the players who were his close friends to find. If they found it, they would be given a small amount of coupons...
Considering that you can copy the homework even if you can't answer the riddle... Therefore, as an NPC who purely provides benefits, Arsene is quite popular.
The most perverted and most admired thing about Arsene is that he will make a bet with the player in the main storyline. Of course, he will lose this bet - and if the player chooses the most outrageous "dancing the cancan in the street in just underwear" among the three punishment options...
——He really would do it. Yassen agreed without hesitation.
Although it sounds like a classy act of "accepting defeat", he agreed so firmly and even seemed a little impatient that it made some players have the weird thought "he couldn't have been looking forward to it this way".
The official even designed a complete CG for this option - he is wearing a fiery red skirt, but the makeup on his face has been removed, revealing his handsome, deep, and vicissitudes of life face, while his lower body is only wearing underwear.
The Cancan dance is famous for its dance moves of lifting the skirt and kicking the legs high. Its characteristics are showing the underskirt and thighs, splits and high kicks.
When the police came to hunt him down, he disappeared into the street while dancing the can-can with great agility, becoming an urban legend that made people think it was a collective hallucination.
——Such a person can get along well with the players.
That's why Aleister subconsciously regarded the other party as a pervert - after all, in a sense, she was the person who had the least right to criticize Arsene.
It was precisely because of his keen sense of goodwill and the fact that the other party sent Alice away that Arsen roughly determined the possible identities of Aiwas and his group, and confirmed that they were not in the same group as those Moon Children.
Then Yassen spoke up: "Those Moon Children are not here to take the Moonlight Key. They have no use for this key... they want to destroy it.
"Because some Moon Children seem to be planning to use this key to perform some particularly dangerous rituals. And this ritual may even affect the entire Moon Children clan... In order to prevent accidents from happening, Moon Children of other factions want to destroy this key.
"They knew that Alice was escorting the key. So for her safety, even if you didn't do anything, I would have 'accidentally' revealed the truth to her. In this way, they wouldn't think that the key was still in the girl's possession and choose not to attack her - at least it would have reduced the probability of her being attacked."
"How gentle."
Iben sighed and answered in a low voice.
Yassen shook his head and continued, "As for the Hawkeye Organization... After all, this key was actually given to me by them through Alice. They have held this key for more than a hundred years. In this way, even if our cooperation is leaked, only she will be held responsible. It may be directed at her, or it may be directed at her father who may die at any time...
"I think they have been staying here to prevent Alice from defecting. I am afraid they are also monitoring me and preventing me from talking too much to Alice."
As Yasen spoke, he subconsciously grasped the key tightly and pointed the hollow of it towards the light on the ceiling: "After all, this key... seems to allow people to reach the dream world in the flesh. Sometimes I think, it would be great if I were a phantom demon. I don't need to eat, drink, or sleep. I can live a carefree life... I don't need to worry about anything."
"——The dream world has countless entrances and exits. Once you enter, you may never find your way home again."
Aiwass gave a symbolic exhortation.
But he also knew that it was probably useless to persuade people about this kind of thing.
However, Yasen's words revealed another piece of information:
"You want to leave Iris?"
Suddenly, the white-haired Moon Child realized the inner subtext of Yasen's words, so he asked, "Any intentions?"
"Let's go to Avalon. I think Avalon is now the most powerful country in the human world."
Yasen replied nonchalantly, "Or go to Xingbi, anywhere is fine. Just don't go to the desert and let me eat sand."
"Then my suggestion is Avalon."
Aiwass also answered bluntly.
After hearing this, Yasen felt relieved.
Regardless of whether he is related to the Pope...at least we can be sure which side he belongs to.
What he said was just an indirect attack - and by the way, he also blocked the other party's perfunctory words like "I am a Parthian, so I suggest you go to the ancient Parthia."
But in fact, even if he didn't ask this, Aiwass had no intention of hiding it from him.
He disguised himself as Iben just because he was afraid that those who imprisoned Sherlock would suddenly kill Sherlock to silence him. Now that Sherlock's specific location has been quickly determined, there is no need to continue the act. The only thing left to do is to rescue him first.
Once he enters the dream world and finds an opportunity, he plans to find an excuse to take off his disguise.
As for whether what Arsen just said was from his heart, Aiwass didn't care at all.
——Come if you want. He is not a thief who harms people indiscriminately.
If you can really put aside the messy political situation in Iris, you are indeed welcome to come anytime!
Avalon has been quiet for too long, it's time for some masters to open people's eyes...
"But... one party wants to kidnap Alice, and the other party is also monitoring Alice. It turns out that both parties are not good people."
Aiwass sighed in a low voice: "If it weren't for your help, Alice would probably be dead today. Both sides would probably accuse the other of killing her."
"After all, she is a 'talent' who has assassinated the Pope and was pardoned by him. Plus her background...if she grows up, the influence she can bring will be too great. However, no one knows what kind of talent she will become in the future."
Mr. Phantom Thief said with a hint of meaning: "The only survivor of the regicide - everyone thinks she is very strong. In this case, silencing her is the best and most thorough choice. And today, everyone can put the blame on each other.
"From what I know, both sides don't want to fight anymore. But if Hawkeye and Moonchild really stop fighting and cooperate, it would be like tying someone to the stake - so they have to intensify the conflict and fight more firmly."
“——That’s why I ate them.”
Aleister said dissatisfiedly: "I am not the kind of unreasonable person. Those who can be eaten by me are mostly not good things. The traces of being preyed upon by the Moon Child are very obvious. At least this way, we won't throw the problem to the other side - I think Lily thinks so too. She probably left traces of the power of shadow."
"Yes."
Lily's gentle voice came.
Upon hearing this, Aiwass reached out and touched Aleister's nose.
"You little guy..."
He leaned close to Aleister's ear and asked, "Didn't you say in the past that you wouldn't suck other people's blood?"
"I ate them completely. It's not blood-sucking, it's predation. I didn't even kiss them, I just used my power to draw their blood."
Aleister turned around and smiled, revealing a pair of ferocious and sharp canine teeth: "I am now 'Pure Love' - how about sucking yours?"
Aiwass tapped Aleister on the head and didn't respond.
Instead, he raised his head and asked, "When do you plan to enter your dream? You won't wait until the end of the month, will you?
"I have something important to talk to him about - it won't be until the end of the month!"
"...I know. It's the Queen of Avalon's birthday. I saw his letter."
Mr. Kaito answered, "I said we would go later because I wanted to trick the kid away first. My suggestion is to set off now - give me twenty minutes to replenish the props, and then we'll go. Some people will take a nap at this time, so we can just find someone who takes a nap and use his dream... Do you want to come with me?"
"can."
The white-robed vampire nodded, speaking sparingly.
"Then let's go together," Aleister readily agreed, "I'll go find the sleeping person first. If he didn't sleep well, I'll make him sleep more deeply."
Lily did not respond, but quietly slipped back into Aiwass's shadow.
However, speaking of entering the dream world to save people...
Aiwass also thought of another thing.
The task he had promised Ms. Haibasha before could be completed at the same time.
Taking on a bunch of tasks along the way and completing them at once sounds very friendly to his obsessive-compulsive disorder!
