Chapter 98 Wonder: Squid... I just said that Shuise was completely defenseless and forgot to mention you.
"Mr. Faust... the law enforcement agency has never taken action against injured suspects before, right? Or are you ready to start your interrogation now?"
You Yu took a deep breath, his tone was not good, Faust's behavior was too cruel, the thread of fate just noticed that if Wonder had not deliberately moved sideways at the critical moment, the ice spike would have directly pierced Wonder's heart.
It is moral and reasonable that a person who has helped law enforcement officers and may have a lot of intelligence should not be treated like this.
What's more... Bai Ye's whereabouts is still in the hands of that phantom thief. Thinking of this, You Yu's face became even uglier.
"For a wanted criminal like this, any response would be appropriate, right? Or has the detective forgotten this guy's identity?"
Faust tapped the tree with his soul weapon, an extremely thin and long ice sword. The sound was as gentle as ever, but the icy coldness hidden beneath the gentleness was enough to freeze the water-colored ripples.
"No, of course not. But the surrounding environment has obviously changed dramatically. You can see the green mist. This is no longer the 'bird cage', but the other side of the gate to the underworld formed by the 'bird cage', which is the demon king's territory in the other world."
You Yu quickly sorted out his thoughts and shook his head. Although he had no ill feelings towards Wonder, the identity conflict was still a gap between them. The General Administration of Law Enforcement would never allow anyone to take the Ten Commandments Token privately. The Ten Commandments Token was of great importance and was a divine object that once divided the inner and outer worlds. If there was no reason that could convince him, even You Yu, who was the opposite of following the rules, would not support someone taking action against the Ten Commandments Token alone.
The identity of a thief who stole the Ten Commandments token has already made people too wary. Youyu can completely understand that the General Administration of Law Enforcement wants to execute Wonder or keep him in their hands, but not now.
Because they haven't found Bai Ye yet.
You Yu thought that the surroundings were obviously no longer the surface world, but the real underworld in the Dionysus space. Before finding Bai Ye or confirming that Bai Ye was safe, he would never let the only thief who had the clue leave his hand.
"What do you mean by that?"
Feicui stood beside Faust with her arms folded. For the first time, she felt that she could not understand Youyu's logic.
"I mean, we will become the temporary supervisors of Wonder, just like we are the temporary supervisors of Bai Ye, before solving this mystery of the devil, or before leaving the underworld."
You Yu pressed his beret and raised his head. His golden eyes were frighteningly bright in the dim green mist, like some inhuman creature.
"oh?"
Faust almost laughed out loud.
"Squid Detective Agency, do I need to remind you? Although you are the support team personally invited by Mr. Spade and Ms. Plum, you are just a neutral player organization anyway."
Faust finally read out those words almost word by word.
"The Ten Commandments-related incidents have always been handled by law enforcement officers. In Huangquan Town, we were accompanied by Xuedie and others. What exactly do you want to do by keeping this felon who stole the Ten Commandments and endangered the safety and stability of the entire world by your side? Perhaps I can make some malicious speculations."
Shuise supported the thief's other arm and added, "It's not as serious as you say, right? Didn't the thief return the money after stealing?"
"...Don't tell me you don't know the most important 'Ten Commandments Symbol' of the Ten Commandments Token."
Faust looked like he wanted to roll his eyes, but he still managed to hold on because of his elegant and gentle personality. He was not as open as Shuise. He was obviously a member of a world-famous orchestra and a very popular celebrity and elegant gentleman player on the internet, but he followed Youyu every day and was assimilated into her and could say anything.
Shuise thought of the ten-ring logo that disappeared from the Heart of Night that Wonder had stolen before, laughed dryly, and stopped talking.
The Ten Rings are the basis of why the Ten Rings Token is called the Ten Rings Token. It is closely related to the strength of the soul particle power contained in the Ten Rings Token. It is also a symbol that the Ten Rings Token can cut off the connection between the inner world and the outer world in history.
The power of a Ten Rings token can only be judged by the completeness of the Ten Rings.
To be honest, before noticing that detail, Shuise and Linglan even thought that Wonder's behavior of stealing the Ten Commandments token and returning it was similar to that of the Manchester City Thief, which was an arrogant way of showing off his strength.
But the ambition of the phantom thief who dared to lay his hands on the Ten Rings Token is obviously not limited to that. He used some special means to strip the power of the soul particles on the Ten Rings Token, and returned the empty shell to the Law Enforcement Bureau. This is simply a provocation within a provocation. Therefore, to some extent, the Law Enforcement Bureau hates this highly skilled "miracle" phantom thief more than the detective agency chasing criminals.
"I said that after I found Bai Ye, I would not interfere with the normal procedures of the Law Enforcement Bureau."
You Yu ignored the unilaterally suppressed bickering between the two. He just looked up. Although he was the youngest person present, no one dared to question where his golden eyes swept across.
Golden threads flowed in the dark mist. Wonder could no longer maintain his consciousness, but the strands of golden threads reflected in his eyes, symbolizing the omen of fate, were extremely clear, as if woven from sunlight that had never existed in the underworld.
Even Faust's expression froze for a moment. He had never seen such a terrifying pressure erupting from a law enforcer. It was the pressure brought by the strength of soul particles. The last time he felt such terrible power was when he was suppressing criminals and soul particle items from Ms. Queen.
"Mr. Faust."
Jade's voice was shaky, but she made her decision.
"Bai Ye is a very important companion of theirs. His soul tagging ability is also of great value. Now we are in the underworld. Special times call for special policies. Perhaps the procedures can be carried out after they find Bai Ye. Our mission is to obtain the Ten Commandments Token. We cannot waste any more time."
Jade's voice was calm and sincere, and finally fell on the footnote of the Ten Commandments Token, as if the first few words were just by the way.
“You seem to understand them quite well.”
Faust's gaze shifted from Youyu to Feicui, the outstanding law enforcer whom he personally brought back from the orphanage of the Law Enforcement Bureau.
Although Jade's voice was not steady, her eyes were as calm as ever, and she did not show any hesitation under Faust's gaze.
"...Okay, for the Enforcement Bureau, for the Ten Commandments Token."
Faust sighed and finally gave in. "That's just this once. It won't happen again. Detectives, after you've used that guy's value, please transfer him to the Wings of the Goddess of Victory as soon as possible according to the procedures. We will try Wonder according to the regular process."
In the end, Faust did not choose to break up with the Squid Detective Agency directly. He hesitated for a moment, threw down a bottom line, then turned around and walked towards the jungle behind him, taking Jade with him. The hem of his uniform coat behind him raised a sarcastic arc.
"Don't forget your mission. Find a way to solve the 'bird cage' and crystallize it in the underworld, and help the Enforcement Bureau collect the Ten Commandments. I want to see... whether you can complete the mission with such a burden."
The last sentence was spoken in a very low voice, but everyone present had excellent five senses and could hear it clearly. Lily of the Valley even gave a middle finger gesture as she looked at Faust's back as he disappeared into the jungle.
Shuise rolled his eyes silently and looked at Linglan who seemed to be thinking: "I don't know why, but I don't want to hand Wonder over to that guy at all."
Linglan had already taken over Wonder's other shoulder after Youyu opened his mouth to confront Faust. She showed an expression of solidarity with Shuise and nodded vigorously. It took her a while to notice the same arc of trembling coming from her shoulder.
Wonder also nodded in agreement.
"??? Hey? You woke up again?"
Shuise jumped up in shock. Wonder, who was supported by him, staggered and almost fell on Linglan. The large movement obviously affected the wound just now. The thief cried out in pain. Shuise suddenly felt guilty: "I'm sorry, how is your wound? Let Sister Linglan take a look at it!"
"You are really kind-hearted, young master of the Muse band. Do you see the current situation clearly? Are you going to treat your captives?"
Wonder was speechless at Shuise's completely defenseless attitude. He shook his uninjured wrist, and a few playing cards flashed across his fingertips, scaring Shuise so much that he took a step back reflexively. Youyu and Linglan both frowned.
But the playing cards that the thief used as weapons casually fired just stayed quietly in his hand like ordinary magic props. The young thief chuckled: "Don't be afraid, I'm just kidding."
The sound was clean and clear, like snow water flowing from the mountains. Although the timbre was completely different, it made people think of the missing White Night for no reason.
Linglan was not as anxious as Shuise. She looked at Youyu, and their eyes crossed in mid-air, and countless measurements fell.
Should he treat this Phantom Thief who had caused them a lot of trouble but also helped them when they were in real big trouble?
Finally, they nodded in unison.
"Hey? Wait! Didn't you hear what I said?!"
The next second, the Phantom Thief, who was still pretending to be bluffing, was pressed to the ground by Youyu and Linglan, who had extraordinary execution ability. The Phantom Thief didn't even have time to refuse before Linglan pressed his wound with a sneer. The wound caused by the ice spike was not small, and it was a difficult penetrating wound. The feeling of bleeding from the body was not pleasant, and after his back touched the moist jungle surface, he was filled with severe pain.
Wonder wanted to struggle reflexively because of the pain, but Youyu and Shuise noticed his movement and held down his wrists on the left and right. The golden silk thread and rippling notes restricted his arms, making him completely unable to move.
wonder: ...Is it necessary to be so heartless? Is this some kind of punishment?
"Why are you saying this? For the sake of Bai Ye's whereabouts, we will never let you continue to bleed in such a dangerous situation. Even if you are bleeding now, Linglan will never let you go."
You Yu's smile was particularly bright: "Even a wanted criminal with serious crimes needs the ability to move independently in the other world to protect himself."
Lily of the Valley smiled and pressed the green light in her hand onto the thief's wound.
Wonder was so touched that the words "speechless" were already engraved on his face: "Are you going to kill me, my friend? Be gentle!"
