Suddenly, bursts of low and terrifying noises came from the building.
They heard an incomprehensible language mingled with rustles and voices.
At some point, a figure emerged from the darkness.
Chi Yaoyang clenched his fists and stared at the opponent in front of him.
Is that the thief?
Victoria stood up with difficulty, and she let out a low and majestic bark.
The wind blew, and a murderous atmosphere filled the streets.
Chi Yaoyang tightly grasped Victoria's collar, ready to fight a life-and-death battle with the thief.
His eyes were fixed on the shadow, his heartbeat quickened, but his expressionless face kept him calm.
He grabbed the black shadow's wrist and displayed his sharp skills, not giving the other party any chance to resist.
Seeing this, Victoria immediately stood behind Chi Yaoyang.
The black shadow was hit head-on, roared in pain, and the heart in his hand fell to the ground.
The bright red, beating organ made both Chi Yaoyang and Victoria shudder.
Victoria stepped forward and knocked down the black shadow, who was suddenly unable to move and could only grit his teeth and tell Victoria to get out of the way.
Chi Yaoyang stared at the thief with indifference, and he said in a firm tone: “Give the heart back.”
He didn't give the thief any room for hesitation.
The thief whispered back, "Move the dog away and I'll do it."
He glanced at Chi Yaoyang nervously, not daring to look him in the eye.
Hearing this answer, Chi Yaoyang frowned slightly.
Chi Yaoyang turned to the thief with a sharp look: “The dog won’t hinder you, but you have to return the heart first.”
The thief was visibly nervous, but he still replied quietly, "Okay, just move the dog out of the way."
Although he was unwilling to hand over his heart, facing Chi Yaoyang's decisiveness, he knew that escape was useless.
Chi Yaoyang did not take action directly, but waved his hand gently to signal Victoria to leave.
Victoria understood his master's intention, so he walked aside silently and remained alert.
The thief watched Victoria leave before slowly approaching the place where the shadow fell to the ground. He reached out his trembling hand towards the heart on the ground and carefully picked it up.
Victoria followed Chi Yaoyang's instructions and quickly took a few steps back.
They were surprised to see the thief disappear in an instant.
But unexpectedly, Popov recovered the next second. He shook his head. This scene was really strange to him.
Chi Yaoyang carefully helped Popov up, and Popov lamented that death was a painful experience.
He rubbed his arm and felt a numbness.
"How are you?"
Chi Yaoyang asked, looking at him with concern.
Popov nodded: "I'm fine, just a little dizzy."
His voice was a little deep.
"We have to leave here." Chi Yaoyang reminded, "This world is not safe."
Hearing this, Victoria immediately moved forward a few steps alertly, keeping a distance from the place where the black shadow fell while protecting herself.
It quietly watches its surroundings, keenly aware of any possible threats.
Chi Yaoyang looked around, looking for any possible clues.
He frowned anxiously, and the thief disappeared in an instant.
He felt a sense of loss, but he did not give up his pursuit.
Popov looked at Chi Yaoyang's anxious expression and felt his inner uneasiness.
He patted Chi Yaoyang's shoulder gently: "Don't worry, we will find him."
Chi Yaoyang nodded, then turned and walked towards the depths of the amusement park.
Victoria followed closely behind, observing his surroundings vigilantly.
Passing through an archway, they came to a commercial street filled with noisy voices.
Various shops and stalls are bustling with activity.
Chi Yaoyang and Popov stood in the middle of the crowd and exchanged their ideas with each other.
This is where thieves might hide, so they need to watch carefully.
"How should we find the whereabouts of the thief?" Popov thought, "There are too many people here, it's easy for him to hide."
Chi Yaoyang frowned and thought deeply.
"We need to find him quickly, or he might escape again."
"We need to stay in the commercial street again." Chi Yaoyang said, "but we need to divide the work and cooperate."
Popov nodded. "Yes! I can patrol the streets."
Chi Yaoyang thought about it for a while, then said, “Good idea, I will stay here and observe the surroundings to see if there is any abnormal behavior.”
Chi Yaoyang and Popov, who continued to wait in the commercial street, had been waiting for a full five hours.
The hustle and bustle of the commercial street made their eyes show signs of fatigue, but they still stood firmly where they were.
Popov looked around, constantly searching for suspicious people.
He noticed a tall man wearing sunglasses wandering around the commercial street.
He told Chi Yaoyang: "I think there is something wrong with the man wearing sunglasses. He has been hanging around here."
Chi Yaoyang frowned and looked at the man carefully.
"It's indeed a bit suspicious." He turned to look at Popov, "We should follow and see."
The two quietly followed the man, who looked very alert and kept an eye on the surroundings.
During the tracking process, Chi Yaoyang suddenly felt an extremely strong aura coming from the direction of the restaurant.
“Go back quickly!”
Chi Yaoyang immediately stopped and shouted to Popov.
The two quickly returned to the restaurant and found that the originally bustling commercial street had suddenly become deserted.
People fled and various shops and stalls closed their doors.
Chi Yaoyang and Popov returned to the restaurant and looked around with confusion on their faces.
The changes on the commercial street made them feel uneasy, and they suddenly felt that this originally bustling amusement park was hiding many strange things.
Just as the two were about to leave, Victoria suddenly gave a warning bark.
Chi Yaoyang and Popov immediately looked in the direction of the sound vigilantly, only to see a thief with a gloomy face appear in front of them.
The thief had a slender figure and wore a black tights to better blend into the crowd.
When he saw Victoria, the thief showed a hint of fear, but soon returned to his strange and cunning smile.
"Why are you looking for me?"
the thief asked in a low voice.
Chi Yaoyang stared at the thief indifferently, “We are interested in you, you have some special skills.”
The thief laughed mockingly, "What do you want?"
Chi Yaoyang replied: "Steal our souls tonight and return them later."
"I can steal anything, and if I want to restore it, it will only last for ten minutes, after which it will return to its original state."
Chi Yaoyang thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Then can you help us? We need your skills."
