Funina, please let me steal your heart!

"Hurry up, Chavore!"

It’s too late! Xia Volei, who was closest to her, saw the water of the primordial fetal sea splashing towards her.

She gritted her teeth and prepared to gamble with all her might.

Gambling on the possibility of survival if he retreated with all his strength.

But before that, Luna lifted her foot.

“It will be a bit painful.”

"What...."

The wind element exploded, and Xiawolei was blown into the air by Luna's Storm Kick.

Is this the real trick? Xia Wo Lei clenched her teeth slightly. Although it didn't hit directly, the sudden pressure of the storm still made her skin hurt.

Wait, where's the Phantom Thief? She... Xiawolei landed next to Qianzhi and took a closer look.

Luna turned around.

Burn your enthusiasm and passion, and forge a completely burning greatsword.

"ignition."

The air became dry due to the extreme heat, and the vision seemed to be distorted.

A dazzling flaming sword appeared from her palm.

She leaped up, bouncing in the air, reaching a higher level, avoiding the impact of the water of the primordial fetal sea. The flame in her hand drew a red trajectory, spinning and slashing down with force.

There was a flash of fire.

The passionate sword melted the armor plates easily and cut through them all the way.

"It's curtain call time."

Luna thrust her greatsword into the ground.

"The loser should leave."

Rising flames flashed and rose from under the giant clockwork mechanism.

Accompanied by the harsh friction sound and explosion sound, the wailing clockwork mechanism fell to the ground.

With a bang, the cockpit door flew out. Mungert rolled out, but was eventually knocked to the ground by the aftermath of the explosion.

Luna stepped over the remaining primordial fetal sea water on the ground and came in front of him.

"I, I surrender! I'll tell you everything!" Monggot shouted in despair.

As he retracted his hand, the passionate sword dissipated.

Luna stepped on his back, lowered her body, and smiled, "Very good, let me see..."

She pulled out her pocket watch.

Time taken: 45 seconds.

"It lasted a little longer than I thought, but unfortunately it's not good enough."

Closing the pocket watch, Luna said softly, "I ask, you answer."

"Okay, okay, go ahead and ask!"

How come this Phantom Thief is so powerful in head-on combat?

Is this reasonable? ?

"What is the water of the primordial fetal sea?"

At this time, Clorinde, Navia, Chiori and Xiawolei also came over.

They carefully avoided the water of the primordial fetal sea on the ground and walked closer together to listen to Monggot's answer.

"I don't know, really! I just heard about it from that guy. He said it could dissolve the Fontaine."

"Only dissolve the Fontaine people?" Xiawolei frowned.

"Yes, I don't know why. I'm not from Fontaine. I drank the water of the original fetal sea and nothing happened, well, except that I heard some strange noises from the spring."

"Spring water?" Luna asked curiously.

“It’s the one in front of the opera house…”

Qianzhi thought: "Lu Jingquan?"

"Yes, yes, I guess it's not the Fontaine people who drink it. It only has the effect of increasing their perception of the water element."

"Isn't it often said that water is a thing that gathers the emotions of many living beings? In fact, those 'dissolving girls' I got also have many emotions...ah! It hurts!"

Luna exerted a little force, but the smile on her face remained unchanged.

"Then do you know who you have been doing business with?"

"I know, I know. Although he has hidden his name, the sound of the fountain told me that his name is Vash..."

Vash?

I've never heard of this name before, Navia pondered.

Luna leaned over and whispered, "Who else? Who else is your 'partner' or 'business partner'?"

Monggot looked hesitant.

Clorinde simply put the gun to the back of his head: "One, two--"

"I said, I said, one is from the Law Enforcement Court... ahem... ah..."

Suddenly, Mungot began foaming at the mouth.

Luna moved her feet away and found that his eyes were rolled up and his hands were unconsciously grabbing his throat, but he could only make foamy sounds that did not form sentences.

"It's poison. He's been poisoned." Xia Vole immediately squatted down and judged.

"Ah...Ah...Damn it..."

One last memory flashed through Mongert's mind.

There was something wrong with the Les he drank last night, and it was obvious who was behind it. Mungette used up his last bit of strength to shout hoarsely:

“Vasheh——!!”

Then he suddenly stopped moving.

Navia avoided his gaze: "How miserable."

"....We are missing a witness." Xia Wole slowly stood up.

"But we know a lot of key information, and there seems to be another room over there." Chizhi raised her chin towards the door at the end.

Everyone looked towards the door.

"Let's go."

This is the end point of the operation.

And after that....

Xiawolei glanced at Luna who seemed to be in deep thought, and then took a step forward.

...It's just returning to the starting point.

Everyone walked towards the door.

When walking past Luna, Xiawolei stopped and threw Mora in her arms back to her.

"Well done, Kaito White Cat. And thank you very much, I don't want to be dissolved."

Luna pinched Mora and whispered, "Because you're scared?"

"Correct."

Xia Wulei said coldly: "But I am not afraid of death. I am afraid that after I dissolve, you will still be at large, just like other murderers."

There was never a moment's hesitation in her answer, and fear never crossed her eyes.

Luna closed her eyes: "Captain, you are really relentless in pursuing me. I am different from you. I am quite afraid of this kind of thing."

Who would believe that? If you are afraid, can you still act as if nothing has happened?

Xiawolei didn't believe her, but she heard Luna's whisper in her ear:

"Because I'm afraid Miss Captain won't be able to pursue me anymore."

Mora pressed it to her lips, and Luna then put it in Xiawolei's pocket.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you, Miss Chavore. Fontaine can't afford to lose a perfect special patrol captain."

With that, Luna followed into the final door.

Xiawolei: “….”

Taking out the Mora, Xiawolei looked at the barely visible lip print left on it and pressed it with her thumb.

Erased.

But I always feel that the gloves are also stained with this mark.

....Go back and change your gloves.

She didn't want any trace of the Phantom Thief White Cat to remain on her.

No traces of it.

95: The Thief and the Reporter (Part 4)

The room at the end was obviously a studio.

Although Mungert calls himself the Magical Gem House, this studio actually looks like a chemical laboratory. Although there are minerals, gems, and metals, most of them are preparations in bottles and jars.

Clorinde picked up the research report on the table and read it briefly:

"He is studying the original fetal sea water he got from Vash."

"That's not surprising." Chihiro said.

A large amount can kill the Fontaine without anyone noticing;

A small dosage can keep everyone immersed in this slow poison;

It's the perfect criminal tool.

Navia didn't dare to touch these bottles and jars, and asked, "Any new discoveries?"

Luna scanned the room, and the thief's vision was activated.

"Hmm~"

Found something good.

She thrust her sword between the bricks and hit the mechanism, and the secret door slowly opened. Inside was a mountain of Mora, so golden that it was almost blinding.

"So many Moras!?" Navia asked in surprise.

"As expected of a Phantom Thief, he can smell the money right away." Clorinde praised.

Although her expression and tone were indifferent without any sense of praise.

Luna twisted a strand of Clorinde's hair and said, "Miss Clorinde seems to have some misunderstanding about me. I don't like treasures, but treasures."

"For example, Lady Furninna?"

"See, now you understand me."

"...If you dare to do that, I will have no choice but to use my sword against you." Clorinde frowned slightly.

Luna jumped into the vault with brisk steps: "It's okay. It's not a bad thing to have one more person chasing me. What do you think, Miss Xiawolei?"

Xiawolei declined to comment.
