"Monster thief? Isn't this guy imprisoned on the fifth floor?" Mu You was confused.
Among the information he overheard on Beizu Island yesterday was one about the Kaitou Valen Justin.
It was said that this man had just been caught. It seemed that he was captured by some bounty hunter and was thrown into the bottom of the underwater prison.
How can a person who has been imprisoned forever escape and steal things?
Or maybe, like him, this person also escaped from prison and can now move around freely in the prison...
"Appointment letter..."
Mu You frowned and looked at the prompt in the text, clicked on the text of 'Hungry Gem', and tried to take the gem out of the game.
As a result, a prompt pops up: [This item is locked and cannot be transferred to another plane. 】
Then he tried storing it in his backpack, space ring, and binding the gem.
The results all prompt: [This item is locked and cannot be operated. 】
"It's pretty awesome!"
Mu You also had to praise.
This person's ability is very interesting. The items that he likes will have many restrictions. They cannot be hidden or transferred, and their location will be known to the other party at any time. Even if they want to use the teleportation array to take them to other places, they will not be able to do so.
It can be said that the difficulty of stealing items locked by the notice letter will be greatly reduced! Of course, since the notice letter has been sent, that is, the other party will not show up in advance before the scheduled theft time, so this thing is safe for the time being.
No matter what, Mu You still doesn't know what level and strength this monster thief is, so he should make some defensive preparations first.
Mu You controlled the character to leave the cell, found a relatively remote passage on the fourth floor, and began to lay traps on the ground.
The prison time should be around 5:20 now, and the comfort period on the fourth floor will end at 7:00.
This person deliberately set the time for the theft to be one hour later, and adding half an hour of theft time, it was 6:50. There was still ten minutes of reserved escape time, just enough to complete the entire theft operation within the comfort period.
But this also means that the thief cannot ignore the extremely cold and hot environment on the fourth floor, and he only dares to go out when he is comfortable.
This is Mu You's advantage. His vampire skin can survive on the fourth level. If it is confirmed that he cannot defeat the opponent later, then he will find a way to delay the time until after seven o'clock, and the fourth level will Become his home ground.
In fact, Mu You has a more comfortable way, which is to go directly to the third floor.
The poisonous gas on the third level is the most powerful. It is covered 24 hours a day and is his home field all day long.
But Mu You thought about it and still didn't do it, mainly because he was afraid that the monster thief would not dare to show up after discovering that he could survive on the third level.
The other party was interested in his gems, but Mu You also had some thoughts on the Kaitou's skin.
'Phantom Thief' sounds like it should be a high-level skin, and the low-level skins of this type of thieves should all be thieves, right?
He also has a 'Thief of the Holy Gloves' on hand, which requires the Thief skin as a prerequisite.
Now that this person has arrived, it's time to try to see if the skin can be removed from his body.
[You set up a large number of traps opposite Cell No. 4879 and hid the hunger gems in the trap array. 】

[This text adventure game is absolutely poisonous] []
After preparing the trap and ensuring that he would step on the trap first when taking the gem, Mu You saw that the time was almost up and made the character invisible nearby, ready to wait and see.
The text occasionally reminded that there were patrolling octopus soldiers passing by nearby, but the traps set by Mu You were relatively remote and would not be stepped on by these octopuses.
After waiting for a while, exactly an hour after receiving the notice letter in the game, several brand new texts popped up.
[You see the trap buttons in front of you are suddenly triggered continuously, revealing five invisible figures. These five figures have the same appearance, and there is no difference in appearance. They are entangled in the trap, and they still move towards the center of the trap...]
Five people exploded at once, it must be the main body plus clones!
Mu You took action decisively.
[You threw the chain claw at the first figure. 】
[The chain claw hits and is retracted extremely quickly. You stabbed the person with one claw, but it caused an abnormally large amount of damage, and the figure disappeared instantly. Obviously, this was just a summoned object clone! 】
I made the wrong check the first time, but it doesn't matter. With a pocket watch, you have enough error tolerance.
[Time goes by and you go back to five seconds ago. 】
[You threw the chain claw at the second figure. 】
[The chain claw hits and is retracted extremely quickly. You stabbed the person with your claw, causing some damage. Blood gushed out from the figure. Obviously, this one was the opponent's body! 】
As luck would have it, I hit the real body with the second hook.
The moment he confirmed his identity, the opponent's information also appeared in the omniscient crystal.
[Fan Lun Justin: Strength 35, Agility 87, Intelligence 45, Constitution 24, HP 5400, Magic Value 9500. The new thief who inherited the legacy of sea thief Patty Wright has started his career in recent years and quickly emerged among pirates. Before committing a crime, he will always send a "precautionary letter" in advance and wait for the other party to be fully prepared before committing the theft. Because of his weird behavior His behavior gradually earned him the title of "Phantom Thief". 】
At level 19, the attributes are one level higher than those at level 19. Fortunately, it is not over level 20. It only suppresses Mu You by one level, which is acceptable.
Mu You was preparing to take advantage of the first mover advantage to quickly seriously injure the opponent, but at this moment, a new prompt came from the text.
[You used the throat lock on the figure in front of you, and stabbed him with your claws again. 】
[However, you only feel a blur in front of your eyes, and the figure in your hand seems to have changed. Your claws hit the opponent, causing abnormally high damage, and the figure in your hand disappeared instantly. 】
[Obviously, what you stabbed was a clone. 】
"Um?"
Mu You was stunned. Didn't you just get the prompt to grab the main body? Why did he become a clone again? Could it be that this person's body and clone can automatically switch?
[You look up and see that in the trap array ahead, a figure has broken through the encirclement and picked up the gems hidden in it. 】
[Your hunger gem was stolen by the monster thief Fan Lun! 】
[After succeeding, Phantom Thief Fan Lun's body and the remaining three clones all evacuated outwards. Do you want to pursue them? 】
"Pursuit!"
This must be pursued. Is it okay to let the other party take the gems for nothing?
[You choose to chase the opponent. 】
[You caught up with the four figures in front of you faster than you expected, but just when you were about to attack, you saw the four figures in front of you stopped, turned around and quickly surrounded you, and launched towards you. Attacked! 】

[This text adventure game is absolutely poisonous] []
The agility of this monster thief was much higher than his, and Mu You was originally worried that he might not be able to catch up to him if he ran away.
It turned out that he was overthinking, and the other party didn't want to run away at all, and even planned to seduce and kill him. It was probably because he had exposed the chain claw just now, which made the other party greedy again.
[Facing the opponent's siege, you are also ready to fight back. However, just when you were about to start the battle, you suddenly heard the footsteps of the Octopus Soldiers coming from the corner in front. 】
[The Phantom Thief and his three clones immediately retreated to the wall, becoming stationary and quickly falling into invisibility. your choice……】
[Ignore the jailer and continue to attack], [Take the opportunity to escape], [Pause combat and enter stealth].
"Pause the battle and enter stealth."
At this time, a patrol happened to come over. Both of them were prison escapees. The other party didn't want the octopus soldiers to find out, and neither did he.
This monster thief seemed to have deep invisibility. At this time, Mu You could only choose to become invisible like him, and wait for the octopuses to leave before continuing the fight.
[You and the Phantom Thief both fell into invisibility, and the passage became quiet. 】
[A group of octopus soldiers turned around the corner and paraded towards your position. Fortunately, they didn't notice your presence and walked right past you. 】
[You watched as the octopuses turned the corner on the other side and disappeared into the passage. They haven't gone far, and they can get the upper hand by taking action now, but the octopuses may also notice the fighting. Do you want to take action immediately? 】
Mu You directly clicked on 'Silence' and 'Arcane Missile' on the panel, and then selected 'Dark World' in the black magic column.
[You cast the Silence Spell, eliminating all sounds around you. 】
[Under the cover of the silent spell, you took the lead in launching an attack. Three arcane missiles were fired, automatically smashing out the three invisible figures on the opposite side. 】
[You release the Dark World, and the environment near you automatically enters the midnight state and becomes pitch black. 】
[Severe cold wind blew quickly through the passage, and large amounts of frost were like ice knives, whizzing towards all the creatures in the passage. 】
[In extremely cold temperatures, your health begins to decline rapidly. 】
[In the extremely cold temperature, the opponent's health began to decline even faster. 】
…
Mu You's trump card for daring to confront the opponent is the 'Dark World' move.
In the midnight state, his vampire skin bonus can be instantly increased to 100%. With the four-dimensional attributes doubled, his attributes become: strength 44, agility 88, intelligence 132, constitution 61, completely crushing the opponent in terms of attributes. .
Moreover, the midnight state also activates the special effects on the fourth floor of the prison. When the night is darkest, it is also when the extreme cold on the fourth floor reaches its strongest.
In this extremely harsh environment, both sides are losing blood, but he has the survival of the fittest, losing blood much slower than the opponent, and he will not die from the cold.
It can be said that this dark space is his home court. Even if the opponent is five levels higher than him, Mu You is not afraid at all.
[As the frost roared, you released the snowball spell and strong wind blew. 】
[The electric arc sword wraps your claws, and you use the skills of elf fighting to fight with the opponent...]

[This text adventure game is absolutely poisonous] []
[The Phantom Thief soon discovered that his attributes were completely suppressed by you, and his injuries quickly worsened. He took the lead in retreating, but instead of running away, he chanted a spell at a high speed and released a dark spell at you. 】
[The turbulent and familiar magic power condenses in the opponent's hand, and a dark flame dragon quickly takes shape in the opponent's hand and bites towards you. You were unable to dodge and were caught by the Dark Flame Dragon, and your health dropped rapidly...]
[In the blink of an eye, you were bitten by the Dark Flame Dragon and were seriously injured and on the verge of death. But the familiar fluctuations returned by the secret crystal crystal remind you that the other party seems to be using a black magic! 】
"Black magic?" Mu You frowned.
Does this person also use black magic? Is he also a mystic? Or, he just used ordinary black magic.
If it was ordinary black magic, wouldn't he be afraid of losing control?
The opponent's black magic dealt extremely high damage, causing the advantage he had gained through the dark world to be instantly reversed. Without any time to think, Mu You pressed his pocket watch decisively.
[Time flows, back to five seconds ago. 】
[You see the other party starts singing again and uses black magic on you...]
At this time, Mu You could actually think of a way to interrupt, but he didn't do so because he was curious about how the other party was going to deal with the situation that was out of control.
[The opponent's black magic was successfully used again, and the Dark Flame Dragon appeared...]
"Backtrack!"
[...You see the other party starts singing again and successfully summons the Dark Flame Dragon...]
"Backtrack!"
…
Mu You guarded the text, and as long as the other party successfully cast the spell, he would immediately backtrack.
Vivian said that it is impossible for black magic to achieve a 100% success rate. No matter how talented a person is, they can practice a certain black magic to a 99% success rate at most. As long as this person does not have the secret skill crystallization, going back and forth, Sooner or later he will lose control!
Sure enough, after going back more than sixty times, the text finally changed.
[As time goes by, the strange thief in the distance once again casts a spell on you, but after chanting, the spell did not take shape. There is an abnormality in the opponent's natural magic power. The surging black magic power explodes in the opponent's body. You see a large number of sucker-shaped tumors starting to emerge on the Phantom Thief's body, and they are expanding rapidly...]
coming!
Mu You was waiting for this moment. The other party lost control of his black magic and fell out of control. He hurriedly stared at the text, preparing to see how the other party would deal with the out-of-control situation.
However, the following text surprised him.
[As the black energy surges, you notice a flash of light and shadow between the out-of-control Phantom Thief and a clone next to him. Some kind of change seems to have occurred on both sides. 】
[The next moment, the Phantom Thief was completely swallowed up by the black energy, but exploded like a bubble, disappearing into the air together with the out-of-control tumor growth. 】
"It turns out to be a transfer!"
Mu You immediately understood that this monster thief was actually unable to handle the loss of control at all, but the other party had a special ability: the main body could be switched to other clones at any time!
It is precisely because of this ability that the other party dares to use black magic so unscrupulously. Even if he accidentally loses control, he can use his clone to avoid losing control.
However, the prerequisite for doing this is that there must be clones around.

[This text adventure game is absolutely poisonous] []
After understanding the opponent's abilities, Mu You knew how to deal with this person.
[Among the three remaining Phantom Thieves on the scene, one of them suddenly chanted the same spell at you again...]
As expected, this guy hadn't given up yet. He probably thought that he had just been unlucky enough to hit the 1% out of control, so he turned around and started releasing black magic again.
Mu You felt that as a legitimate descendant of the mystic, it was necessary for him to fully understand the dangers of black magic at this moment.
[...After the Phantom Thief chanted, the spell failed to be released again. 】
[The surging black magic power exploded in the opponent's body, and a large number of sucker-shaped tumors emerged on the Phantom Thief's body again, and expanded rapidly...]
[In a burst of twisted magic, the Phantom Thief and the other clone next to him both changed...]
This time it was a little weird, and it took him more than two hundred times to backtrack before he was knocked out of control.
As expected, the other party transferred to the clone again.
Now that the opponent only has one clone left, Mu You thinks that the opponent will be more careful since he was hit twice in a row.
As a result, the other party actually started singing without hesitation.
"Why are you so stubborn..." Mu You secretly sighed. It seems that this person has used black magic to trick people a lot in the past, and he is quite confident in his luck.
[…After the Phantom Thief chanted, the spell failed to be released for the third time. 】
[A raging black magic bursts out, and the Phantom Thief hurriedly transfers to a new clone, while looking at you in confusion. 】
[Three consecutive failures to release black magic finally made him realize that you might be causing trouble! 】
[The cold wind is howling, and the icy curse at night on the fourth floor continues to take effect. The Phantom Thief's health is only 30% left. He did not choose to continue casting spells to fight you, but turned around and started running away. 】
This guy finally knew how to run away, but it was a little late. Long before the opponent lost control, Mu You controlled the character to rush towards the last clone, and then started attacking directly.
[Your bone-crushing knife hit the Kaito's right leg. The Kaito was disabled and his movement speed was greatly reduced. 】
[With no hope of escape, the Phantom Thief has no choice but to turn around and fight you. 】
[The Phantom Thief has the unique agility of a thief, with flexible movements and an elegant figure. However, your agility is not weaker than that of your opponent. The speed of both of you is about the same. During the fight, your wounds are increasing rapidly, but the Phantom Thief is injured at a faster rate. Significantly faster than you. 】
[Your sharp claws pierced the Phantom Thief again, and his health returned to zero first. 】
[You killed Phantom Thief Van Lun Justin, gained experience points +19, lifespan +1, obtained Thief Skin Fragment*1, and found the 'Dexterity Boots' at the location where the opponent died. 】
Finally, he successfully killed the opponent, got a skin fragment, and also exploded the equipment.
It seems that these stealing professions will always explode a piece of equipment after death. This is the price of being a thief.
In that case...
Mu You pressed the pocket watch again.
This dexterous boot is just a green piece of sophisticated equipment. Once you finally kill the opponent, you will definitely get the best one.
[Time flows, everything goes back to five seconds ago...]
[You killed Phantom Thief Van Lun Justin again... and found the 'Assassin's Dagger' at the location where the opponent died. 】
This chapter is not finished, click [next page] to continue reading -->>
[This text adventure game is absolutely poisonous] []
"Backtrack!"
[...You found the 'Emerald Ring' at the location where the opponent died. 】
…
Mu You kept going back and didn't have time to read the description of what was revealed. He could only glance at the text color of the items to simply judge the quality.
As a monster thief, this person should have stolen a lot of good equipment, but at this time, there were not many good things coming out of him. After going back seven or eight times, the most advanced props revealed were only green, and none above blue.
But when you think about Mu You, you will understand that this guy's purpose in coming to the underwater prison is not pure. I am afraid that he was caught on purpose, and then easily escaped from the prison by transforming into a clone, and then he could steal unscrupulously inside.
In this case, he would definitely not bring too precious equipment and props with him. After all, this kind of thing is extremely risky. If he is found out, he will lose his wife and lose his troops.
Thinking of this, Mu You estimated that he might not be able to get good equipment from the opponent, so he continued to roll a few more times, preparing to explode the hunger gem first.
As a result, when he went back more than thirty times, the Hungry Gem had not yet appeared, but a golden word unexpectedly flashed across the text.
[...You found a 'Phantom Thief Mask' at the location where the opponent died. 】
[Kaitou Mask: Agility +20, Intelligence +10.
Additional ability 'Scake': After activation, summon four scapegoat clones. You can land on the scapegoat clones within 100 meters of you at any time, and the equipment and props will be automatically transferred. Can only be activated once per day. Only takes effect when wearing the Phantom Thief skin. 】
