On the rooftop of a building one or two kilometers away from the Japanese-style mansion, a strong wind blew, and three figures fell to the cold ground on the rooftop. Afterlife Ai and the twins were dazed, and they didn't know what had just happened.
After waking up, Ai immediately looked around to understand the environment, and suddenly found a white figure standing on the guardrail of the rooftop with his back to them.
The wind on the rooftop was very strong, but the white figure standing on the narrow guardrail seemed to be nailed there, motionless. The wind seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, and even the corners of the white figure's clothes could not be blown up.
"Did you save us?"
In the next life, Ai asked the white figure, but his hand held a cat's eye card.
The man in front of me seems to have saved them, but who knows what purpose he had in saving them. Being caught by the police is of course a big crisis, but the police are bound by legal rules and will not harm their lives no matter what. , the person in front of me has unknown intentions. If he wants to do something to the three of them, then they have no guarantee of survival!
Well, it seems that the policeman with the knife just now really wanted to cut himself. Thinking about it this way, it seems that the policeman is not safe...
In the next life, Ai thought of Okita Sougo's shining samurai sword again, and her heart beat a little. Fifteen years have passed, and the Metropolitan Police Department's law enforcement has become a lot rougher!
"Hey, that was a mistake. In fact, I shouldn't have saved you."
There was regret in the white figure's voice.
"Why?"
Afterlife Ai asked, she asked not only out of curiosity, but also because she wanted the white figure to reveal more information, and at the same time think about the situation she was in now.
"I took action just now because I thought that the swordsman was really planning to attack you. But after I broke the wall and entered the collection room, I found that when the swordsman was slashing at you, he had already turned the direction of the blade and used When he struck you with the back of the knife, he only intended to make you temporarily incapacitated, and did not intend to cut off your legs. In this case, his behavior was not considered excessive, but within the scope of reasonable law enforcement, I should not have taken action. Interfering, but since I have already taken action, I am too embarrassed to just break the wall and let them blow the wind, so I just took the three of you out."
The white human image did not notice the small gestures of love in the next life, but patiently explained to her.
Hey, when did our "Maoyan" become so shameless and was actually rescued by "Shunshun"? There must be a limit to talking nonsense!
In the next life, Ai becomes more and more certain that the white figure in front of him has ulterior motives.
"Well, let me ask, why did you take action when the swordsman used a sword?"
Love in the next life was suspicious of the white figure, but the twins didn't think much of it and raised their hands to ask questions.
"Because that would be out of line." The white figure explained to the twins, "As the saying goes, 'shrimps match shrimps and fish match fish, and turtles match tortoises'. The opponents of martial arts practitioners can only be those who also practice martial arts, even those with law enforcement powers. Warriors only have unlimited law enforcement power when facing illegal warriors. When enforcing the law against ordinary people, because warriors have too much force beyond ordinary people, they cannot use excessively violent methods, especially when When facing non-malignant criminals. What you did before was at best a break-in, uh... maybe even causing minor injuries. In short, it was not bad in nature. The swordsman can arrest you, but he can't hurt you. , so when I saw him taking action, I couldn’t help but take action. Of course, it turned out later that it was just an own goal.”
The white figure paused after finishing speaking, and then added: "Ah, I'm sorry, I seemed to have used the saying in the wrong place just now. Besides, I didn't think you were 'turtles'."
Then you just think we are "bastards"!
Afterlife Ai felt that the unknown white figure in front of her was speaking so irritatingly!
"It's 'soldiers against soldiers, against generals'. Sorry, that's what I meant to say just now, but I made a mistake."
The white figure apologized.
"Did you take action because that swordsman wanted to hurt us?"
I don't know if one of the twins is the black cat or the white cat, asked the white figure.
"right."
"Then why did you appear suddenly?"
"Me?" The white figure was stunned for a moment and then replied, "I was just watching the excitement. I didn't even think about taking action at first. Whether you were caught or escaped, it had nothing to do with me. Until that swordsman We took action, and we had such a small relationship, but now it seems that it actually doesn't matter, but it's me who is nosy."
"Well, seriously speaking, it seems not good for me to hinder their normal law enforcement like this... Otherwise, let's discuss it and you can go back and surrender, but please don't tell me about my existence!"
The white figure tilted his head and said.
"I don't want it!"
The twins stuck out their tongues and made faces together.
These two little girls don't know how to be nervous when facing such a dangerous person!
In the next life, I will love to support my forehead.
The white figure took the three of them out of the mansion in a few breaths, and took them to the rooftop of the ten-story building before the next life could react. This man was obviously a martial arts master, and he was even taller than this building. A high level expert.
"Forget it, can you act on your own? If you can, then go back by yourself!"
The white figure was not angry at all, but very calm.
He really didn't care about the outcome of the three "Maoyan" people. He just came to see how the Phantom Thieves acted. Now it seems that he is a little disappointed.
Regardless of the backup plan and the ability to adapt to changes, "Maoyan"'s performance can be called "failed". Although he also guessed that the current "Maoyan" is not the experienced "Maoyan" back then, he still felt that Their actions these times can be said to be "sloppy".
They didn't even know where their target was, so they had no choice but to go to the collection room to try their luck. When they saw the owner in the collection room, they actually had the idea of forcing him to reveal the whereabouts of the target. This action was too random. Bar!
Considering that among these three people there were two girls aged thirteen or fourteen, it was probably just a random move.
"Hey...wait!"
One of the twins stretched out his hand to hold him back.
I'm so angry, he's leaving, white cat, what are you doing?
"What's up?"
the white figure asked.
"Why are you talking with your back to us? This is so rude!"
The white cat actually asked the white figure a polite question.
She loves to cover her face in the next life. She feels embarrassed that her niece is so stupid!
"Uh..." the white figure hesitated, "...it seems so, but I'm sorry. In fact, I came here just to watch the fun. I didn't plan to meet anyone, so I was lazy and didn't prepare to hide my appearance. Props, I’m not wearing anything on my face now. If I turn around, I’ll let you see my true face. And I don’t want outsiders to know my true identity, so I can only talk to you like this. If I let If you feel uncomfortable, then I'll apologize."
The white figure's answer was actually very polite and candid, which made Ai Yi in the next life confused as to whether the white figure had any intentions towards them.
Is it really just convenient?
"Then if we see your true face, you will kill us to silence us, right?"
The black cat of the twins asked a question that made Love in the next life want to gag her.
Stupid Black Cat, are you sure to kill us?
"Shut up... If you ask me to kill someone without any injustice or grudge, I still can't do it."
The white figure's answer made Ai in the next life start to doubt again, whether he was really just a good person with no intentions.
"...The most I can do is beat you into amnesia. I hope you can understand this."
I understand you! Well, this guy is an asshole!
Love in the Afterlife completely affirms who the white figure is.
The twins also thought of the scene where the white figure kept hitting the back of their heads with bricks. They covered the back of their heads in fear, and then timidly said: "Okay, we just don't want to look at you, don't hit us." head!"
"Very good, then take care of yourselves. I'm going back first. I still have friends staying there. It's time to pick them up."
The white figure said to the "Maoyan" trio, then he was slightly startled, then laughed, "Well, they came to me on their own, which saved me the trip back."
Not long after he finished speaking, two figures, one tall and one short, jumped up to the rooftop along the outer wall of the building.
The taller figure was obviously more skilled. After jumping up, he landed gracefully. His movements were not sloppy at all and he was very skillful. However, the shorter figure shook slightly when he landed and needed help from the taller figure next to him.
"Golden Shadow, Night Raid, you came here on your own!"
The white figure smiled.
"Thanks to someone, a large number of police came to the house and started searching everywhere. We couldn't hide anymore, so we had to sneak out before the police came."
The short figure said with a bit of complaint.
Brother Kai only cares about playing by himself again!
"Golden Shadow" pouted slightly, but her face was covered with a scarf, so no one could see it.
Unlike "I Come", "Golden Shadow" and "Night Raid" are not confident enough to prevent anyone from discovering their movements, so they all cover their faces with face coverings. "Golden Shadow" even uses nano-robots to change their body structure. , making myself grow twenty centimeters taller.
The little blond girl looks too eye-catching, but the appearance of the blond girl will not remind people of her true identity.
As for why she doesn't change the color of her hair, don't ask, it's just a girl's persistence.
It's just that such a huge physical change made "Golden Shadow" a little uncomfortable, so when she jumped up to the rooftop, her skills seemed much clumsy.
"Haha, this should be the police investigating the clues left by 'Maoyan'. You have suffered an unthinkable disaster!"
"I'll do it too" couldn't help but laugh.
Don't think that the police's actions will end after "Maoyan" escapes. On the contrary, their battle with "Maoyan" has just begun.
Even if it is a "cat's eye", it is impossible to sneak into the house without leaving any traces. Today's technology has made great progress compared to the past, and the same is true for trace science. The ground that the "cat's eye" stepped on, the traces left behind, these All can help the police build a database about "cat's eyes" and help them find "cat's eyes" in the vast sea of people.
"Well, by the way, you didn't leave anything there, right?"
"I'm here too," asked the three "Maoyan" people.
"Of course not... right?" Afterlife Ai said confidently at first, but then quickly remembered that he seemed to have left the diving equipment he used when he came in in the artificial pool. He originally planned to recycle it when he returned to the original route, but now he didn't. It became a huge flaw.
"It looks like it's there."
There seemed to be a bit of schadenfreude in the voice of "I'm here too", which made Ai in the next life so angry that her teeth started to itch.
"Well, I left it in the artificial pool. Even if they use police dogs, they probably won't find it..." Afterlife Ai said a little guilty.
"I'm here" smiled: "Of course you can think so. Most of the fugitive prisoners in the world were caught because of this kind of luck. You can exchange your experiences with them when you go in."
Does this force me to go back and get it back...
Love headaches in the next life.
Before today, no, before she met that troublesome woman, she always thought that today would be a very, very simple operation. She felt that she had completed so many difficult operations fifteen years ago. The goal of this operation was Before letting the police protect her, she felt that it would be easy to take away the Ukiyoe today, so she did many things carelessly, but now she has suffered the bitter consequences.
Arrogance is always mankind's greatest enemy!
And just when Love was worried about the next life, the communicator she wore on her wrist suddenly rang.
Lai Sheng Ai quickly connected, and what came from the communicator was the tearful voice of her eldest sister Lai Sheng Ai: "Little Ai, is it safe now?"
Afterlife Ai glanced at "I'm here" and the other three, and said vaguely: "No problem..."
"You idiot, how do you do things!" Lai Sheng's scolding voice suddenly sounded. Lai Sheng Ai subconsciously shrank his head, while the twins laughed ungratefully.
"Sister, I was wrong, I'm sorry..."
Afterlife Ai said with a bitter face, whether it was in front of her niece or strangers, her face was completely humiliated.
"I have asked Uncle Yongshi to retrieve the equipment you left in the artificial pool. I have also cleaned up the other traces for you. If you have escaped, just come back directly."
After scolding, the voice of the next life's tears became softer, but it had already cleared up all the mess of the next life's love.
"Big sister is the best!"
Love in the next life jumped with joy.
"Don't be too happy too soon!" After seeing the love in the next life resurrected with tears in his eyes, he couldn't help pouring cold water on him, "You know Ryoko Yakushiji, the newly appointed criminal department counselor at the Metropolitan Police Department, right? That woman is not easy to deal with. , this time you also suffered from her. I know you have been missing your previous life. This time you said that it was the kittens begging you that you came back to the world, but I think you are also very happy. Now, You have also realized your shortcomings. When you go back, think carefully about whether you are suitable to continue being a 'Maoyan'!"
"I……"
The thoughts of love in the next life were completely broken by the tears in the next life. After the three sisters lost their father, the love in the next life was taken care of by their two sisters. If the second sister's love in the next life is like a mother, then the eldest sister's tears in the next life will undoubtedly play the role. The majestic role of her father, and her little thoughts could never escape her tearful eyes.
Yes, the twins' request is just an excuse. There are many ways to help Oda-san. She chose to send the Maoyan notification letter, essentially because she wanted "Maoyan" to come back to the world. The time when she was active as Maoyan was The most unforgettable part of her life.
