Chapter 44 You Yu: How could this be! Wonder if this can run?
"The Yamagumi and the Metropolitan Police Department each have their own duties and do not interfere with each other. Miss Jonin has overstepped the line."
Izayoi's expression looked very ugly, his fingers were already on the slender samurai sword at his waist, and his attitude was unexpectedly tough.
Even tougher than Wonder had imagined, the Phantom Thief stood aside with his arms folded, watching the confrontation between the two people in a nonchalant manner, even propping up his head with his wrist out of boredom, shaking the red and blue pixel blocks in his hands, and began to piece them together into red and blue Rubik's cubes, like a bored child looking for fun in his own soul particles.
It seems that the problem of Tang Hongshan's group is bigger than he thought. He also doesn't know the origin of the knife that contains strong demonic power and is specifically requested by t173. However, given the special nature of t173, it is probably related to the Ten Commandments token.
Unfortunately, due to the information blockade by the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau, no one knows what the Ten Commandments are, and naturally no one can directly identify the source of the knife through information. All they know is that the combination of the knife and the scabbard must be one of the complete Ten Commandments.
"Warrior, let's draw our swords and cut it off."
Xuedie was obviously aware of the abnormality of the Yama Group. Even if the Sun Metropolitan Police Department acknowledged that the Yama Group and the Metropolitan Police Department existed at the same time, it did not mean that she could turn a blind eye to the demon sword.
Since the two sides cannot reach a consensus through words, let's make the decision through fighting.
Shizayoi did not answer. He stood up and stepped back. A cold light flashed in the scabbard at his side. He used a set of extremely standard Iaido sword techniques that were visible to the naked eye. His steps were leisurely, but the blade was already close to him.
"Wow! Very strong basic skills."
Wonder was so relaxed that he urgently needed to wrap the melon seeds in his hands. He even clapped his hands at Izayoi with great interest, which earned him a sharp glare in return.
The relatives of Tang Hongshan Group have been trained in the most classic Iaido Kendo since childhood. There is no need for a thief who is trying to steal the secrets of the Mountain Group to talk here.
Shizayoi was very fast, with messy sword lights scattering in the air, blocking all of Blood Butterfly's space to move forward and backward, but the Demon Hunter was faster than him. Before the sword lights could even appear, Blood Butterfly had already sensed the location of the danger, and he quickly bent down and turned over, almost hovering in the air for a few seconds, successfully avoiding the opponent's sword light.
Izayoi was obviously surprised by the blood butterfly's terrifying beast-like reaction speed and showed a surprised expression. The Sun Metropolitan Police Department's jonins don't often appear in public, and Izayoi, who only thinks about being the head of the family, doesn't pay attention to the star players in the devil game. Even though he was prepared to be tough because of the opponent's identity as a jonin, Izayoi still didn't expect that the opponent could be so powerful.
The blood butterfly's footsteps were light, and the girl rushed forward the instant she landed. Her fingertips almost hooked out the long sword from her waist that was very similar to the standard long sword of the Sun Metropolitan Police Department. The fluttering butterflies rushed towards Shizai, but it was just a phantom light effect.
Izayoi frowned and concentrated on dancing with his long sword, the two of them fought with the most basic swordsmanship and physical techniques, almost turning into two streams of light, just like the Ultraman and the monster in the special effects movies, it was jaw-dropping.
The blood-red pupils of Xuedie became deep, and she was very satisfied with escorting the Yamagumi member in front of her to the Metropolitan Police Department for questioning. However, because he still needed to question her, he did not use his full strength. Shizai had difficulty dealing with Xuedie's attack. The girl's strength and speed were obviously superior to his, which actually gave him a rare feeling of being suppressed.
Fortunately, Shizai's goal was not to fight with Xuedie. He had been trying to find an opportunity to take away the demon sword scabbard hanging on Xuedie's waist. Finally, he found Xuedie's flaw in an attack. The slender knife directly cut off the quaint rope that fixed the demon sword scabbard on Xuedie's waist. Xuedie's movement was completely unstoppable. As she jumped, the scabbard with the fixed rope cut off quickly flipped into the air due to gravity. Xuedie quickly turned over to grab it, but Shizai, who had been ready to attack, blocked her with a knife.
However, she simply hooked the knife with her backhand, and Izayoi was forced to take a step back, unable to catch the scabbard containing the devil's power in time as planned.
The simple scabbard drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and then fell towards the bottom of the tall building due to gravity. Xuedie and Shizai stretched out their hands in a hurry, trying to grasp the slender rope on the scabbard, but they saw a pale and beautiful hand caught the knife faster than them.
"When the crane and the clam fight, the fisherman gains."
A familiar and impressive gorgeous sound line passed through the air, and the thief covered in starlight accurately snatched away the ancient scabbard under the neon lights and between the buildings.
"The ancient oriental wisdom is true. Thank you very much. I will accept this scabbard!"
Wonder grasped the starry blue thread that extended from nowhere, jumped down from the platform of the building, broke through the night wind and swung towards a distant direction.
His figure disappeared into the night along with the ancient scabbard in a way that was completely untraceable.
The thief turned and left, as if he had never appeared.
"What kind of ability is this?"
Izayoi and Blood Butterfly froze in place, completely ignoring the confrontation, completely unable to comprehend the situation in front of them.
Is it the ability of soul tag? But they clearly didn't see the red and blue pixel soul particles of Kaito Wonder just now.
Like a miracle, the Phantom Thief Wonder appeared out of nowhere on Night Island, far away from Night City, without any warning. After causing a violent storm, he escaped from the hands of the Yamagumi and the ninjas, and even took away his target scabbard.
“Wonder——! The speed is too fast, damn Phantom Thief!”
At the fire escape, You Yu, who had arrived late, was hanging there half-dead, almost shedding two noodle-like tears.
He didn't make it to the scene in time!
He always appears and disappears out of nowhere, and can perform many miracles that seem completely magical. Is this guy really human?
You Yu looked at the direction where the Phantom Thief Wonder disappeared, and his eyes became unusually serious.
Xuedie quickly recovered from her shock. She looked at her long sword, sighed, and showed a regretful expression for the first time: "Oh no, I have to forge and repair it again."
You Yu struggled to climb out of the fire escape: "Isn't that your soul weapon? Can soul weapons be repaired?"
Xuedie shook her head: "No, I am different from you. I don't have a soul or a weapon."
Her expression was always indifferent. When she gently wiped away the blood of Izayoi from the long sword, there was no ripple at all, as if she was a puppet without any emotions.
"This is just a deposit from a friend. I need to return it."
**
When Youyu returned to the B&B, Linglan and Shuise had also rushed back. Bai Ye used his ability to seamlessly transfer to the location of the phantom created in the B&B. He did not choose to pay the price immediately. Instead, he pretended that his body had recovered well and sat on the sofa in the living room of the B&B with Shuise and Linglan. The three of them gathered in front of Shuise's computer, with equally solemn expressions.
"Hey, how about you, Mr. Detective, the only one who is lucky enough to have a fight with the Phantom Thief Wonder?"
When Linglan saw Youyu, her expression became a lot more relaxed.
"The entire Night Network is in an uproar right now. It turns out that the famous thief of Night City is active throughout the entire surface world. The jonin, the Tang Hongshan Group, and the famous young detective You Yu were all present, but they were unable to stop the thief Wonder from taking away the treasures that the Shan Group had recently collected."
Linglan's fingers kept swiping across her phone, and countless posts flashed before her eyes. She summarized the "scabbard incident" that had been widely circulated on the Internet to Youyu who was at the scene.
"That guy is really weird, but it's also my fault for not correctly assessing the ability of Phantom Thief Wonder," You Yu sighed and rubbed his hair, "But it can't be said that we gained nothing at all. At least we know that he knows a lot about the players of the Devil Game. We can go look for hidden players later - alas, it's a pity that he still ran away."
The boy looked a little dejected. Linglan looked at her phone and said, "To be honest, I'm not surprised at all. Rather, I would be disappointed if I was caught so easily."
The girl raised her head and blinked her emerald eyes: "You should think so too, right? Since you call yourself a miracle, then you have to be like a real miracle to be called a phantom thief. After successfully defeating such an opponent, the sense of accomplishment must be incomparable to other cases, right?"
Shuise nodded: "Actually, it's because I didn't have time to go. If I had gone, I would definitely be able to kill Wonder!"
You Yu's mouth twitched, and all the dejected feelings disappeared: "Shuise...you should consider the timing before pretending?"
"Let's not talk about wonder for now, Youyu, there are more important discoveries that need your attention."
Bai Ye interrupted the two high school students who were about to continue bickering. His fingers tapped frantically on the computer for a long time and successfully logged into Yedao's network. He found a special post on a real-time forum for sharing daily life.
"I wonder if you've heard of... White Fox Station?"
Bai Ye fixed the computer screen on the title of the post and handed it to You Yu.
You Yu took the computer and looked down the posts in order, and found that it was actually a strange post about real-time experiences.
[OP: Help!] I'm a second-year junior high school student in Yoshima Karayama-cho. I was on the train that I often take when I was going home from school, but I found that this train was very strange... There was no one in the car that was usually full of people, and the circuit board also looked strange... What should I do now? 】
The accompanying picture is a photo of an empty tram carriage and a hand-drawn tram route map.
Judging from the posting time, it should have been three minutes ago, which was exactly a few minutes before Youyu arrived at the B&B.
You Yu carefully observed the tram line and found no problem. Bai Ye on the side added solemnly: "That line is not the current tram line. Linglan Shuise and I just checked all the running tram lines in Yedao separately, and there is no such route."
"This route belongs to... an abandoned Tanghongshan Forest Route... and it has no terminal."
As soon as Bai Ye finished speaking, a sharp pain burst out from his heart. He thought to himself that it was not good. The price accumulated by t173's help had reached its limit by now. He had no ability to fight against the pain at all. He lost all his strength and fell forward.
"Bai Ye! What's wrong with you? Is there something special about that line, or——"
You Yu suddenly fell silent. He supported Bai Ye's powerless body and suddenly recalled the situation when he first met this new teammate.
At that time, the black-haired boy was the same as he is now, with a pale face, blood at the corners of his mouth, and he covered his heart in pain, like a pale puppet that would shatter at any time.
Lily of the Valley took a step forward, with emerald green glows lingering around her fingertips. Her ability allowed her to control the vitality and vitality of living things to a certain extent. Frequent participation in demon games also allowed her to accumulate a lot of vitality. At critical moments, she could barely act as a "medical healer" type of player.
She wanted to use her ability to transfer the stored vitality to Bai Ye to help him, but she found that the emerald green fluorescence just passed through Bai Ye's body without any tendency to stop.
She couldn't help him.
"The life force I stored...cannot have any effect on him."
Lily of the Valley stared blankly at her fingertips.
Why is this happening? Why in this world could she encounter such a situation a second time?
You Yu looked at Bai Ye who was trying to endure the pain, and hesitated to speak: "Is it because of [Black Sun Righteous Man's indifference]?"
The special soul tag brought Bai Ye special treatment, but it also brought him a curse that could not be cured.
Bai Ye nodded, wiped the blood that was flowing out of the corner of his mouth, suppressed the strong smell of blood in his throat, and smiled bitterly at Linglan: "Yes. So don't waste your vitality for me, whether it's yours or the one you saved up with great difficulty in the Devil's Game."
Shuise gritted his teeth: "Is there no solution to this——"
Bai Ye shook his head and interrupted him: "Let's take a look at this real-time post first. Some clues can't be found if they are missed. Detectives, you should know this best."
Bai Ye obviously didn't want to dwell on it any more, so he directed everyone's attention back to the computer screen in front of him. In just a few dozen seconds, several new messages appeared on the post.
[Anonymous: What is the name of the station you arrived at? We can help you check whether there is such a station in Yedao. 】
Shuise thought for a moment and typed this line.
The host responded quickly.
[OP: This seems to be the terminal station... its name is... White Fox Station. 】
The accompanying picture was a station sign with the rather ominous station name written in handwritten blood-red font.
【White Fox Station】.
You Yu frowned, he always felt that the name looked familiar.
