Chapter 93 Shuise: Haha, I knew that an accident would happen.
"In that case, happy cooperation?"
Although Wonder only gave a joking reply, Cube laughed. Some tacit understandings do not need to be stated so clearly. Wonder has already responded: he is not from any force of the Law Enforcement Bureau or the Demon Apostles, but just a thief who wants to steal the Ten Commandments. His goal is the Ten Commandments, nothing else.
Cube remembered Wonder's style of doing things. After the Ten Rings were stolen, they were returned to the victim in another form. Wonder didn't care whether the Ten Rings stayed in his hands or not. He would even personally return the stolen Ten Rings back to their original place. From this point of view, the other party's purpose was quite simple - just to show off his skills.
This kind of person is very easy to cooperate with. As long as a beautiful and grand enough stage is set up for him, the thief should not mind providing some unimportant conveniences to the demon apostle in the shadows.
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
Wonder smiled, and Cube stretched out his hand to him. The thief hesitated for a moment, but before he could make a choice, a golden light flashed through the jungle, and the entangled golden silk threads wrapped around the surrounding giant trees, spread out, and penetrated deep into the ground.
The golden threads were like sunlight filtering through the dense branches of the jungle into the tree house tribe, illuminating the dim forest in an instant. The golden threads intertwined and entangled between the giant trees of varying heights, forming a huge three-dimensional silk net. The positions of the threads were extremely clever, confining all the demon apostles and phantom thieves in place, unable to move for a while. As long as they made the slightest movement, the entangled golden threads would gather in an instant, splitting everything that stood in their way into pieces.
"brush---"
A long sword that was brighter than the golden thread flew out from an unknown corner. The angle of the swift sword was so tricky and weird that it was impossible to guess the location of the person coming. Huo Gu clenched his fists, and the flames on his body erupted in an instant, burning all the surrounding vegetation. The rope made of flames grabbed a block on one side, and the moment the long sword appeared in the field of vision, it rolled in a vertical direction with the block. The flames burned the suddenly tightened golden thread, and a beautiful golden-red color swayed in the air like sparks.
"I knew that you criminals would return to the crime scene, whether for the despicable purpose of admiring the fruits of your own crime or to commit further crimes..."
The golden threads were still shrinking, and the flames were rapidly extending in the direction of wonder. The flames in Huo Gu's eyes were becoming thicker and thicker. Based on the principle of helping the newly-established partners, Huo Gu tried to stop the golden threads, but the golden threads were shrinking faster than he could ignite the flames.
"Wonder... Just surrender."
The swift sword made a slight roar and flew quickly towards the direction where the clear boy's voice came from. You Yu jumped out of the jungle and held the sword firmly. He swung the sword gently in front of him with smooth movements. The golden light reflected from the sword's edge seemed to have the Tyndall effect of sunlight in the jungle, so dazzling that people could not look directly at it.
"Detective, you underestimate me."
Wonder chuckled, and the playing cards that he had been using to alert the two demon apostles were gently thrown into the air. Three consecutive playing cards revolved around the thief's body in a way that completely violated the laws of physics, as if an invisible hand was shuffling the cards in mid-air, pulling out countless playing cards out of thin air and completely trapping the thief in the ring of playing cards.
You Yu clenched his fist and pulled hard on the thread of fate connected to his finger. The golden thread extending to the side of the thief was suddenly pulled tight, and the speed of the flame was far behind the speed at which the golden thread was being pulled.
Just like the several times before, a miracle unfolded before them. The playing cards fell gracefully and floated to the ground through the gaps in the golden thread. The golden thread tightened, but it did not even cut the playing cards, let alone the thief who had already disappeared on the spot with a magical method.
"Water color!"
Youyu retracted the golden threads and shouted. Shuise poked his head out from the high platform of the tree house on the other side with difficulty. Ripples of water carrying musical notes appeared under his feet. Surrounded by the water waves, the boy holding the bow suddenly opened his eyes: "Youyu! At your 9 o'clock direction! 15-20 meters away!"
"Ok, got it——!"
The one who answered Shuise was not Youyu, but Linglan, who jumped out from the depths of the jungle, swinging leisurely on the vines. When the vines swung to the highest point, Linglan threw herself out suddenly, and the fork in her hand shot steadily and accurately towards the position that Shuise had just predicted, without any error.
"Oh? Why are you all coming at me? Isn't this bad?"
The playing cards were surging at the position reported by Shuise, and Wonder had already chosen the landing point at the moment of movement, so even if the position was predicted by Shuise, he could only appear at that selected position.
But... that doesn't mean Wonder has no chance to fight back. You know, the reason why the Phantom Thief is a headache for the Sun Enforcement Bureau is because he is the best at creating miracles.
The thief who appeared in the vortex of playing cards had a bright smile on his face. It was an extremely confident smile. Lily of the Valley's face changed immediately, and the fork stabbed into the ground fiercely, startling branches and leaves from the grass to fly everywhere.
A poker card fell to the ground, like some kind of mockery.
"Lily of the Valley direction, 21 meters at 10 o'clock."
Shuise didn't hesitate, he played the violin directly. In the beautiful and moving music, Wonder's figure was discovered again before he appeared.
“Crack.”
The sound of the space being opened by some kind of machinery was heard, and an emerald lock core filled the space and was opened by a huge key. The moment Wonder appeared, the emerald figure shuttled through the space, and the huge key pointed directly at the back of the thief. Everyone tried their best to stop the thief here.
"Wow, what kind of super taunt value is this?"
Huo Gu watched helplessly as the Squid Detective Agency members and the youngest captain of the law enforcers rushed towards Wonder, as if they didn't see him and Cube, the two demon apostles at all.
"That's not right. My charm is obviously very high. Is that the Phantom Thief so likable?"
Huo Gu was puzzled and began to wonder what the difference was between himself and the Phantom Thief.
“… Hurry up and leave!”
Fang Kuai took a deep breath, his voice trembling. He suddenly understood Yuan Luzhi's despair in Huangquan Town. He slapped Huo Gu on the back of his head, making his colleague stagger.
Each of those young soul tag owners was difficult to deal with, and while all their attention was focused on Wonder, they took the opportunity to leave and investigate what had happened here, why the gate to the underworld was not opened, and instead the Tree House Tribe, once the core of the underworld, fell into such a half-dead and weird situation.
Who knew that Huo Gu was actually reflecting here. Thinking of the funny man "Qianmian" who pretended to have a thousand faces, Fangkuai's eyes went dark. What kind of teammates are these?
Unfortunately, there were not only Emerald and Lily of the Valley present, but also other people. Huo Gu only delayed for a few seconds, and the steps that Cube took were tightly locked by the golden silk thread.
"Where are you guys planning to go?"
You Yushen appeared behind the two demon apostles without anyone noticing, with his hands on the shoulders of Fangkuai and Huogu, smiling. Those who didn't know him well would have thought he was arm in arm with his best friend.
"You kid! So arrogant!"
Huogu slapped Youyu's hand away, and the tinder rushed out from his deep skull eye sockets and rushed towards Youyu's neck, which was a killing move. Youyu reacted quickly and took a step back, but the distance was not enough and he would obviously be entangled by the tinder soon. At the critical moment, Fangkuai behind Huogu grabbed Huogu's hood and pulled him back.
"Um?"
You Yu, who had been planning to use the swift sword to block the fire rope, raised his eyebrows when he saw this. He didn't know if it was intentional on Fang Kuai's part. The distance between Huo Gu's fire rope and You Yu was just a hair's breadth, but it was deviated by more than half because of Fang Kuai's pull.
"Cube! What are you doing?!"
Huo Gu rolled his eyes, obviously very angry. He didn't expect Fang Kuai to be even more irritable than him. He pulled his hood and ran forward, shouting: "Don't fight! We don't have time to get entangled with these brats here! Send a message to Fan Lan and ask her to come and pick us up as soon as possible--"
Huo Gu was stunned for a moment, and finally uttered, "Oh."
Although I feel like something is not right, for example, shouldn't he be the one roaring now? But out of courtesy to his boss, Huo Gu still obediently started to contact Fanlan through the headset.
"Beep - the user you dialed is on the phone -"
The sound of electronic machinery came from the earphone. Fangkuai, who was not far from Huogu, heard it clearly. His mentality, which was about to explode, exploded even more. He clenched his hands hanging by his side, but his feet did not slow down. His face was just gloomy like the dark underworld Miteklan in the Dionysus space.
"What is Fanlan doing?! Why can't we get in touch with him at this time?!"
Huo Gu couldn't wait any longer and frantically pressed the buttons on his headset, trying to contact Fanlan by outnumbering him.
"Damn it... I can't even contact Thousand Faces right now. I must be crazy to allow the boss to let you guys be my assistants."
Fangkuai was also pressing his earphones frantically. He gritted his teeth, and his voice sounded like it would collapse in the next second. The golden threads wrapped around Shuise and Youyu were circling around them. The two teenagers were not far behind the two demon apostles, passing through the tribe members and tourists who were still standing there and had no reaction to the battle in the tree house tribe, ready to take down the two real culprits at any time.
"We've got a great harvest this time, Squid!"
Shuise looked at the two demon apostles who were so close to him, and the excitement in his voice was hard to conceal. Huo Gu, whose familiar was severely injured in the Huangquan Town incident, was no match for them at all. The strength of Feicui and Lily of the Valley was rounded up to S-level, so even Wonder didn't seem to have to worry too much. Feicui and Lily of the Valley could at least hold Wonder back until the law enforcement reinforcements arrived.
After capturing the devil's apostle and catching Wonder, Shuise thought: How could I have such a beautiful dream.
"Something's wrong, Firebone!"
The block in the front suddenly stopped, Huo Gu quickly retracted his strength, but still bumped into his boss. The two lost their balance and rolled to the ground. You Yu and Shuise stared in amazement as the two demon apostles fell into a ball and rolled on the ground, but the latter's expression suddenly became serious in an instant.
"No! There is a strong energy fluctuation! Something is coming!"
You Yu stretched out his hand and tightened the silk thread, while the swift sword in his other hand flashed. His perception of water color was the most sensitive and there were basically no mistakes. He completely trusted his companions.
Huo Gu was about to refute when he saw that his boss, who was half-dead under him, also showed a serious expression. He was about to speak when a chill that penetrated deep into his bones began to spread along his soul. He couldn't even speak, and even the fire in his eye sockets was extinguished.
"What is that...?"
Shuise sounded like he was going to pass out in the next second.
"The gate to the underworld?"
A huge stone door with a feathered serpent carved on it appeared out of thin air, hovering above the tree house tribe, emitting suffocating black and green particles.
That is the breath of death.
"The door to the underworld has finally been opened."
Cube started laughing.
