Funina, please let me steal your heart!

Then the light focused on one person.

The Phantom Thief stood at the center of the stage, holding his chest and raising his arms: "But cheer! The unfinished play, the unfinished story, the stage that has not been completely burned out will be completed by me!"

Where's Funina!?

Why is she the only one here?

131: I have never liked Phantom Thief

"You may be wondering - where is Lady Furninna?"

"Please allow me to keep the answer secret. If you want to know, please defeat me with all your might and overwhelm me, so that I can become your prisoner, Miss Clorinde."

"Of course, there will be no such opportunity after more than two minutes."

Beneath the brisk tone was an unmitigated provocation.

No one would underestimate this thief with a sweet smile. The scenes of their past disastrous defeats flashed before their eyes, making them clench their weapons tightly.

No Funina = no hostages.

Without hostages, it is easier to carry out compulsory arrests.

But why two minutes?

Why didn't she run away immediately after getting the treasure, but stayed and continued to fight with them?

Xiawolei's mind was racing, unless - her ability had a cooling limit.

"It may take two minutes for her ability to activate again!" Xia Wore immediately informed the others.

Luna smiled but didn't deny it.

She did need to wait for the pocket watch to cool down, but it only took 30 seconds. And it had already cooled down.

The reason I stay here is that I feel it would be too boring to leave. This opportunity is rare, so of course I have to perform on this stage for a little longer.

Why does it take two minutes... After all, she has no reason to expose the limitations of her abilities.

"So that's it!" Navia suddenly realized.

No wonder she stayed here.

She had already used her ability to change the flow of time once during the brief confrontation with Clorinde!

It would be difficult to leave the Opikle Opera House with Funina in the face of so many combat forces and the pursuit of the strongest duel agent without the ability to change the flow of time.

But why would she want to expose the flaws in her abilities?

No one would ask this question.

She is a Phantom Thief after all.

From the moment she began to post a warning letter before stealing, no one questioned her strange ritual behavior.

Misleading? Possibly.

But a quick victory is indeed the key! Navia and Clorinde looked at each other.

You in front and I behind? Clorinde signaled with her eyes.

Use a pincer attack to overwhelm her! Navia nodded.

"I won't let you escape this time, Phantom Thief!" Navia grabbed the umbrella and chopped it hard, using brute force to pull the umbrella into a graceful arc.

A heavy force fell on the sword, and the waves it created blew away Luna's bangs.

"Ms. Navia is still the same as always, with a simple and direct attack and a fascinating elegance."

"No matter what you say, it's useless. I'm so angry now! No matter what you want to do, you shouldn't attack Lulu!" Navia said sternly.

What a heavy woman.

What's going on? Has Navia ever emitted this kind of gravity atmosphere before?

There was a hint of surprise in Clorinde's eyes, but her hands and feet did not stop.

The lightning element leaped on her body, the shadows of the guns continued, and the continuous bursts of lightning bombs hit Luna directly...

wrong.

Before the thunder bombs could reach them, the layers of "carriages" that whizzed past stopped them. That was also part of the stage installation!

"Let me review the story of the play just now for everyone whose attention has shifted to me."

"A long time ago, there were two sisters named Chenelle and Freya, who lived in a home that had fallen on hard times."

Clorinde looked at Chavore, who nodded.

Gunlances are useless against the White Cat Thief, and even bullets with elemental power have little effect. The only thing he can rely on is close combat.

There are 100 seconds left.

"Lady Funina should still be in this opera house. Go find her right now!" Xiawolei ordered.

"Yes!"

The special patrol teams split up and checked the opera house inside and out.

Xia Volei gripped the spear tightly, lit the tip of the spear, and turned into a ray of flame and stabbed towards Luna.

"Give it up, White Cat!"

"Ms. Chavore really likes me. Wherever I am, you are there."

"You really are a dreamer."

Luna blocked Navia's further pursuit, gathered the wind element at her feet, and jumped up. Xiawolei did not stop, but kicked hard at Clorinde's horizontal long sword.

The flaming gun slashed towards Luna as she jumped back.

Time limit is 90 seconds.

Luna's sword shone with water as the spear and sword clashed.

Looking past the weapon, Xiawolei and Luna's eyes overlapped. Luna smiled at her.

Still with that irritating expression, Xia Wulei took a deep breath and suppressed the unhappiness in her heart.

The spear and sword intersected, collided, and bounced off again.

The two landed.

Luna stepped lightly, and several scenery panels popped up on the floor, covering her figure.

"My sister, Chenelle, lost the strength in her legs in an accident and could not stand up again. They depended on each other for survival, but they were destined to be given to other nobles."

Puff - the constructed stage device sprayed out smoke, and the entire space was shrouded in a thin mist. The guards subconsciously covered their mouths and noses, but soon noticed that this was just smoke used to deceive the eyes.

Non-toxic and odorless.

Chavore narrowed her eyes.

80 seconds left.

She couldn't be allowed to drag it on any longer.

Clorinde, Chavore, and Navia made up their minds and prepared to launch an attack together.

Phantom Thief White Cat, what a troublesome guy... Clorinde thought that she could not hold back any strength anymore and had to decide the outcome before the next attack.

But the next second, Qianzhi's double swords cut through the mist, cut through the scenery board, and attacked Luna.

The two swords danced wildly, weaving an impenetrable stream of slashing light.

Fast, precise, and deadly - just like how she cuts cloth every day. In her eyes, the so-called enemies are no different from the cloth that needs to be cut.

But maybe it was a miss, or maybe Luna had hit her weapon with pinpoint accuracy.

In short, accompanied by a crisp sound, the knife in her hand flew out and stabbed the floor.

"Chizhi!?" Navia exclaimed.

"Tsk..." Qianzhi smacked her lips.

People who are familiar with Chiori know that when Chiori smacks her lips like this, it means that she is very unhappy.

But Qianzhi was unhappy, and Luna felt happy.

She took Qianzhi's hand and pulled her into her arms: "Ms. Qianzhi, you don't look like a lady like this."

"It's better than you."

Qianzhi raised her foot and stepped on it, but Luna moved her toes away and she stepped on nothing.

"Why hide?"

"I guess I have no reason not to hide, right?"

There are 55 seconds left.

"Do you need me to give you a gift in return after this?" Luna said softly with a smile.

"No, disgusting."

Why do they all speak so bluntly? Xia Wulei is like this, and Qianzhi is also like this.

Luna released her hands and stepped hard on the floor. The storm she created blew away all the fog, and her vision became clear again, but there was little time left.

She took out her pocket watch and the second hand was moving in fits and starts.

"But Chenelle and Freya did not want to succumb to this fate, so they decided to use the blood of their 'adoptive father' to pave the way for their future."

"They never thought they would become like this, nor did they think they would have to dirty their hands to get what they deserved."

"They have already become sinners who have broken the law, and their final outcome will be only one."

She took off her mask.

Their faces changed! The guards and special patrols who witnessed this scene couldn't believe their eyes.

Luna raised her sword and slashed it lightly. The phonograph device that was created played a sad and gentle melody, and her expression suddenly changed.

"Sister, we were just trying our best to stay together forever, why did it turn out like this?"

The eyes, movements, tone, every part was performed perfectly, even to the point of being terrifying.

I thought Luna and Finnina had reached the pinnacle of acting, and now there’s the new Phantom Thief White Cat.

"...It's okay, we will be together, I won't let you be alone, and you don't want me to exist alone in this world."

Even though people knew she was a thief, some were still moved by her performance.

This story brought back some memories for Xiawolei.

She then felt Luna's gaze: "Ms. Chavore, what is considered a sinner?"

"....What do you think?"

Luna smiled back.

She did not answer the question, but put her mask back on and bowed slightly: "Thank you all for coming to watch Miss Funina and I's performance. Please take good care of Miss Luna."

"She was a beautiful, smart, brave person."

Qianzhi looked puzzled.

"Well, see you all again—"

"Not again."

There are 25 seconds left.

Clorinde moved.

The speed of his strike is impossible to catch; the trajectory of his bullets is impossible to predict.

The pure speed and strength are fully demonstrated in her unleashed stunts, and almost no enemy can completely escape from her move.

This is a skill created by Shadow Hunters for hunting monsters. For ordinary people, it is like a sledgehammer against a chicken.

But the Phantom Thief is not an ordinary person.

Luna snapped her fingers, and the lights dimmed completely. In the darkness, only the dazzling and soul-stirring purple light was dancing, but... she still didn't feel like hitting the target.

"I'll wait for you to come and see Miss Funina, the lovely duel agent." A warm and sweet breath blew into Clorinde's ears.
