Chapter 13 You Yu: There is only one truth!

"Let's go! Let's go and surround that guy. Maybe we can put your worries to rest tonight."

You Yu adjusted the beret on his head, and his eyes crossed the overlapping buildings and fell on the top of the rooftop of the Neon Heart Building.

Shuise nodded and took the initiative to hold the hands of Linglan and Youyu. After the water shimmered, the breeze between the buildings blew past, and the dripping rain floated on the rooftop. The three detectives of the Squid Detective Agency instantly returned to the observation deck with the best view of the Neon Light Building. Shuise and Linglan stood on both sides of Youyu, observing all the movements around the building at the same time.

Apart from the music from the jewelry exhibition below and the host's voice, there was only the night breeze.

"This guy... is so elusive, what exactly is his tag skill? It can't be a magic trick that comes true, right?!"

Shuise gritted his teeth, Wonder's presence had completely stripped him of his usual elegance, revealing his somewhat impatient teenage nature.

The shared skills of the Squid Detective Agency team are the most feared existence by every criminal and devil apostle. Shuise's group transfer skill effect is a tried and tested killer weapon when chasing criminals. Under the joint judgment of Youyu and Linglan, Shuise can accurately transfer all members directly to the front of the target every time, but this time they failed.

"That's normal. This is the person who successfully snatched the Heart of Night from you and Sister Redheart. He certainly can't be fooled by our tricks so easily."

Lily of the Valley supported her body with a huge copper fork. Several orchid leaves began to grow under her feet, twisting into vines that could be used as weapons. The vines quickly turned into fluorescent green particles and scattered in every corner of the jewelry exhibition.

"Boys, where do you think he's going to appear from?"

Linglan raised her eyebrows and looked at Youyu who was in deep thought and Shuise who was full of resentment.

"Disguise, cause power outages, and then appear in the dark. These are all methods used by the Phantom Thieves. But after the contact just now, I feel that this guy is more crazy than any other Phantom Thief. It seems that he is not doing illegal theft, but the most righteous thing in the world..."

You Yu touched his chin, his bright obsidian eyes flashing with the long-lost joy of meeting a real opponent, and his speech speed became faster and faster.

“A magician who likes to perform magic shows to attract everyone’s attention… His target this time is definitely not other gems in the jewelry exhibition.”

You Yu pressed down his beret and jumped lightly onto the railing of the observation deck, letting the wind blow up his brown plaid short cloak.

"There is no jewel in this world more precious than the Heart of Night made by the god-like founder of the General Law Enforcement Bureau, King. Wonder's purpose this time may... give us a big surprise~"

Even in the emergency moment when the shadow of the Phantom Thief Wonder was everywhere, You Yu still had that bright smile on his face, and the ending tone of the boy's voice had a slightly rising tone, like the rising sun in the morning light, so bright that it could ease people's tense mood a little.

But Linglan had long been immune to her childhood friend's face, and sneered: "So what should we do now? My ghost orchid vine can't sense any clues."

Shuise turned around and ran downstairs: "No matter what, there can't be any more accidents at the jewelry exhibition. Sister Hongxin has a business trip today, so she entrusted the guarding work to me. I absolutely, absolutely must catch that guy today!"

Shuise clenched his fists and was about to leave the viewing platform when Youyu grabbed his shoulder. Although Youyu looked slender and very young, he had terrifying strength and almost took Shuise with him to fall from the tall building.

You Yu patted Shuise's shoulder and said, "He won't be at the jewelry exhibition. You'll never be able to wait for this heart-stealing thief at the jewelry exhibition. I've already guessed where he is. You and Linglan come with me. We'll wait for him first. We'll definitely catch him."

Shuise looked doubtful: "Really?"

You Yu was a little speechless: "Why would I lie to you? In one word, are you coming or not?"

Shuise and Linglan looked at each other and saw hesitation in each other's eyes. No matter how they looked at it, the jewelry exhibition that had long been visited by the thief still had the highest level of protection. Sister Hongxin handed the guarding work to them, and they couldn't run away to other places unless they could really make a breakthrough in the thief Wonder.

Although Youyu's conclusions were sometimes outrageous, they were generally correct, so Shuise and Linglan looked at each other and chose to believe their companion unconditionally.

"That's great, my fellow members. I knew you would believe me in the end!"

You Yu stood on the railing of the viewing platform, laughing, and then - jumped down.

He jumped down directly from the observation deck at the top of the Neon Light Building, which was several hundred meters high.

"Squid!!! You're a damned piece of seafood!!!"

Shuise and Linglan screamed miserably in unison, and then they saw that unreasonable fate had caused Youyu to fall directly onto the high-altitude work platform hanging diagonally outside the closed window between the jewelry exhibition and the rooftop terrace.

The platform suspended by steel ropes began to tremble violently due to the superimposed weight of human bodies, but it was quite stable. You Yu jumped into the mezzanine floor along the aerial work platform and even had time to wave to the two people on the viewing platform who were almost scared crazy.

"Don't worry," said the plagued seafood, "I have always had good luck, nothing will happen to me."

Linglan and Shuise took a deep breath. Although they had long realized that their president was essentially a hot-blooded madman who did whatever he said and repeatedly put himself in danger by relying on his lucky skills, they were still scared to death every time they saw Youyu suddenly go crazy.

“This guy is really…”

Shuise felt that Wonder and Youyu had almost made him break his teeth in the past few days. He lay on the railing with half of his body almost sticking out, and his brows were furrowed so tightly that they could strangle a squid.

"Forget it, forget it. This guy has been like this since junior high school. It's good that he's still alive. I'm used to it."

Linglan sighed deeply and adjusted her skirt with one hand. The huge fork turned into label particles and disappeared in her hand. She stretched out her hands to Shuise: "Come on, violinist. If we don't catch up with the squid, we don't know where his slippery sea creature will run to."

Mizuiro: "...How can I not let you carry me like a princess? My taijutsu has improved quite fast these days, really."

Linglan smiled very gently: "If I don't hold you, can you guarantee that you can jump from the observation deck to the aerial work platform without any injury?"

Mizuiro glanced at the platform that was swaying in the sky and covered his face with his hands: "...I hate you combat players whose physical skills are so strong that they are scary."

Linglan looked at her childhood friend who was afraid to face the reality and chuckled. She scooped up Shuise, tapped the ground lightly with her brown leather boots with laces, and directly climbed over the railing and leaped towards the aerial work platform.

The girl is like a nimble swallow, flying lightly between tall buildings. Even with the burden of being alone, she is still as graceful as the wind.

"clatter."

"It seems that I am still a step late."

The moment Linglan landed, Youyu's voice happened to ring out clearly: "But fortunately my friends are here, brother, you don't have to pretend anymore, right?"

You Yu narrowed his eyes and pointed his finger mercilessly at the middle-aged man in security uniform hidden in the shadows - the mezzanine of this floor was a gem warehouse jointly set up by law enforcers and the organizers of the jewelry show, where the exhibits rotated out every day would be kept, and now, outside the warehouse that should have been empty was actually suspended an aerial work platform that shouldn't have existed. You Yu instantly confirmed his guess - Wonder's actions this time almost violated the phantom thief's principle of "causing as much trouble as possible", and he did not choose to attack again at the jewelry show. Instead, he bypassed the law enforcers' security system, disguised himself as a security guard, and sneaked into the warehouse.

Shuise jumped out of the girl's arms the moment Linglan landed on the ground. Upon hearing this, he stared at the security guard opposite him with great excitement. Youyu's guess had never been wrong, which meant that the person in front of him...

“You are——!”

Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man in the shadows raised the corners of his lips, revealing a wild and wanton smile, and then pulled down the baseball cap on his head.
