Chapter 16 Bai Ye: There will definitely be a miracle that favors you, because a miracle also favored me at that time.
There are many ways for demons to target the surface world from the inner world. Although the emergence of the DM system has had a certain monopolistic effect on the connection between the two worlds, there are still demon servants and low- and medium-level demons that invade the surface world through the demon apostle organization, causing casualties.
Demon Hunters are similar to the Sun General Administration, specifically targeting demon apostles and demons.
The only difference is that they are more radical and sharper than the General Administration of Law Enforcers. When facing any demon, they will kill it first, and the source of their missions is more like that of bounty hunters.
Because of this, things with the Demon Hunter logo are generally quite dangerous. No one knows what the hunter ninjas of Night Island are doing and why they put dangerous things in the garbage station in the residential area.
Although I wanted to pretend I didn't see it and leave, I couldn't really just leave it like that.
Bai Ye took a step back and hid himself in the shadows. The huge box had begun to shake, and it was obvious that there was some kind of living creature inside.
Bai Ye frowned. If he wanted to take action... the identity of "Solomon Academy student" was very clean. He didn't want to let his high school life get into trouble with other troublesome people. It was already the limit to hide Wonder's identity from the Squid Detective Agency and law enforcers. If he faced these organizations...
Maybe Phantom Thief Wonder is more appropriate.
After all, it is normal for wonder to appear anywhere, miracles are everywhere.
After convincing himself, Bai Ye walked out of the shadows, with an inverted cross mask covering the upper half of his face. He has become the Starry Night Thief who currently dominates the headlines.
The box was still shaking slightly. The thief didn't need to be as careful as the students. Bai Ye simply walked over with a swagger, but was surprised to find that the side of the box had been opened.
The source of the box's shaking was not some other dangerous creature he had imagined, but... a girl?
A girl wearing a black and red sailor suit, a transparent raincoat, and with long straight black hair that fell below her waist was sitting in a box, looking at the blood-red butterfly hair accessory in her hands, quietly...crying?
The black-haired boy frowned. Standing in the shadow, he seemed to see himself holding the photo frame of his parents that was smashed by Faust in Ryefield Town, but being unable to do anything.
Sadness and loneliness spread in this small corner, and the gentle night wind was as piercing as a cold blade.
Bai Ye's experience told him that the best thing he should do now was to turn around and leave instead of meddling in other people's affairs.
He already knew the consequences of meddling in other people's affairs. Wasn't that what happened in Wheatfield Town? He clearly helped others and saved two classmates, but was bitten back and ended up with a criminal record and was forced to leave his hometown.
If Red Heart hadn't intervened, who would know where Faust would have "arranged" him now?
Bai Ye thought, it was none of his business anyway, he didn't appear in front of the girl, as long as he pretended not to see it, it would be fine. There were so many unfair things in the world, how could he care about them all? Moreover, because of t173, he was already too busy to take care of himself...
The black-haired boy turned around and took a step forward, trying to make up his mind, but after hesitating for a moment, he was ultimately unable to leave, as if his arm was pulled by an invisible thread.
But if that's the case... then he would rather be thrown into the strange city of night than admit the crime that Faust forced upon him. What about the principles and justice that he had upheld in his heart at that time?
Bai Ye turned around and looked at the girl sitting in the box with a complicated expression.
The girl sat there obediently, her bloodshot eyes dull with tears, and even her cries were as soft as a wounded kitten. Bai Ye was reminded of the little sister of the neighbor aunt in Wheat Field Town who saw that he lived alone and often took care of him out of kindness. He simply couldn't bear to turn around and leave.
I shouldn't have changed my vest.
Bai Ye complained about himself again in his heart. After all, compared to the Phantom Thief, the students of Solomon Academy are better at comforting a crying girl, but he has no way back now. The black-haired girl is obviously a Demon Hunter member directly under the Law Enforcement Bureau. It is impossible that she really didn't notice him at all. Now changing her appearance again is no different from directly shouting her Solomon Academy student number in the Eden Live Broadcast.
Although the girl noticed Bai Ye, she did not take her eyes off the hair accessory in her hand. Bai Ye lowered his eyes and saw through the mask that the left wing of the exquisite and lifelike butterfly hair accessory had been completely broken, with only a thin piece of gauze connecting it.
The girl's expression seemed familiar to him.
"Is it a meaningful hair accessory given by an important person?"
Bai Ye lowered his eyes and half-knelt down. His soft black hair passed in front of the girl, forcing the latter to look up at him.
The girl hesitated for a moment and nodded vigorously. The more Bai Ye looked at her, the more he felt that her state was quite familiar. He also felt so guilty and heartbroken when he accidentally broke the photo frame left by his parents in Wheatfield Town.
Bai Ye sighed, as if saying softly "I really can't do anything about you", and gently placed his slender fingers on top of the butterfly hair accessory.
His actions spoke for the rest of the language. Even though he didn't say anything, he gave people this familiar and gentle feeling.
The girl looked at him warily with cinnabar eyes, subconsciously trying to protect the hair accessory in her hand, but she saw that the blood-red butterfly seemed to have life. In the light of the overlapping red and blue pixels, it became perfect and even flapped its wings slightly twice.
The blood-red butterfly fluttered, swaying in the air, and finally landed gently in the girl's hair.
"It's okay. If it's such an important item, a miracle will surely come to you."
Bai Ye smiled, and the girl was surprised to find that the butterfly hair accessory had actually been restored to its original state, as if it were a miracle of magic.
"Protect your important things."
"Thanks--"
She looked up suddenly and wanted to thank him, but found that he had disappeared like a miraculous starlight falling on a moonlit night.
The food court where the burger shop is located.
It was not very late, only around eight or nine o'clock, and the street was very busy. Many students in school uniforms after school were walking in groups of three or five on this food street full of shops, excitedly discussing some topic.
Bai Ye, who was about to go back to the basement to do his homework, tried to eavesdrop out of curiosity, but before he got close, he heard the terrifying keywords that made him want to run away immediately.
"Have you watched the news?! The Phantom Thief Wonder who stole the Heart of Night yesterday has appeared again!"
The boy who was waiting for the spicy hot pot at the stall to be ready was wearing the uniform of the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau Reserve. The smile on his face made Bai Ye almost mistakenly believe that tomorrow was a legal holiday that he didn't know about.
"I heard that the stolen Heart of Night was returned. I have never seen a thief return a stolen treasure. Wonder is completely different from those thieves in Manchester City in the West District. He didn't do it for stealing, he just wanted to put on a show!"
"Have you watched the live videos circulating on the Internet? They are so cool, just like a magician covered in starlight! This is art!"
A boy clenched his fist excitedly: "I don't know who will become Mr. Kaito's nemesis! I really want to see Wonder in person——"
Bai Ye, who had been standing behind them, hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but speak: "Even though that's what you said, he is a criminal suspected of being a demon apostle after all, so you should be careful."
Although the existence of Devil's Game and Eden App inevitably attracted many popular fans who were not selected into Devil's Game for some famous players, the same is true for Phantom Thief, but Wonder's vest has only appeared for a few days? It's a bit outrageous that there are already die-hard fans now.
What's more, the opponent is the reserve of Sun Law Enforcement Bureau. Red Heart has helped him a lot after all. Bai Ye couldn't bear to see the reserve of Law Enforcement Bureau go astray like this.
"It doesn't matter. I'm a professional anyway, and it's a good thing to catch the self-promotion myself!"
The boy didn't care at all. He turned around suddenly and saw a handsome face of a high school student who was about his age. He scanned the face and said with sudden realization, "Hello, my name is Yang Yan, and I'm a law enforcer reserve of the Sun Law Enforcer Bureau. Judging from your school uniform... you are a classmate of Solomon Private Academy, right? Rounding it off, you are my classmate. Wait, what did you say just now - are you also a fan of Kaito Wonder?!"
The Phantom Thief Wonder himself, Bai Ye, was still immersed in the shock of the other party preparing to catch himself. When he came back to his senses, he couldn't stand Yang Yan's eyes full of expectation, flashing like stars, and he uttered helplessly: "...I guess so."
How come he is not his own fan? Ever since my parents left, no one in this world loves me more than him.
Yang Yan cheered, he laughed and patted Bai Ye's shoulder: "I didn't expect that you are also a fellow traveler! Come on, come on, I will share with you more information about Lord Wonder that I found on the forum!"
Bai Ye:...No, did you really not hear what I was advising you just now?
