Wu Yu was a little confused at first, but he understood when he saw Maper again. It turned out that she had taken a shortcut to block people ahead.
At a certain intersection, not only Mapel, but also two other groups of soldiers appeared in two other directions.
With his four directions blocked, the thief had nowhere to run.
With no way out, the thief decided to pick on the weak and charged directly at Wu Yu.
Wu Yu was furious and reached out to grab the thief.
As a result, the thief pushed hard, and Wu Yu was unable to dodge in time. He was directly knocked to the ground. His buttocks burned with pain, and his chest felt like it was going to explode. Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He tried to get up, but his body staggered.
"Damn it, don't let me run into you again." Wu Yu roared helplessly as he lay on the ground.
"Are you alright?" Seeing that Wu Yu was injured, Maper sent several soldiers to continue chasing the thief, while she herself came over and asked with concern.
"It's just a minor injury, don't worry about it." Wu Yu flashed a gleam of red teeth, then dusted himself off and stood up as if nothing had happened.
Wu Yu was naturally unharmed. Although the thief was a fifth-level thief, his purpose was only to steal, not to hurt people. He used very measured force. He might be able to hurt an ordinary person, but to a first-level expert, it was just a tickle.
My butt really hurts a bit, but as for the internal injuries, that was all an act. The reason I vomited blood was because Wu Yu had put a blood bag in my mouth on the way and then bit it open at the right time.
Wu Yu had brought these blood bags to deal with potential chaos in the capital. They would also make it more convincing to feign death if he encountered an opponent he couldn't defeat. Unexpectedly, they came in handy in other places as well.
That's right, Wu Yu came over not to retrieve his bracelet, nor to help Maper; he came deliberately to cause trouble.
Although the thief didn't recognize Wu Yu, Yi Fang had shown Wu Yu information about her subordinates, and the thief just now was one of the thieves Yi Fang had sent to steal the bracelet.
Although they stole from their own people, these bracelets would eventually return to Wu Yu's hands, so Wu Yu wasn't angry.
"You guys continue to catch that thief." Seeing that Wu Yu looked lively and energetic, Maper sent out the soldiers who had been left behind to carry Wu Yu to the hospital.
After the soldiers left, only Maper and Wu Yu remained.
Moreover, seeing that Wu Yu was not injured, Maper's expression was no longer one of concern. Instead, she said with a hint of reproach, "If you don't have the strength, don't try to be a hero. It's all your fault. You let him get away again. Do you know how much effort we put into setting up this encirclement?"
"I'm sorry." Wu Yu looked apologetic, but muttered to himself, "Yeah, right."
This guy showed absolutely no remorse, and since Wu Yu wanted to keep Maper there to give the thief a chance to escape, he feigned curiosity and asked, "Why are you arresting that guy?"
“He conspired with several others to commit large-scale thefts. So far, thousands of tokens used by people to participate in the Holy Light Festival have been stolen from the streets. As the administrator of the capital's security, how can I tolerate these criminals going unpunished?” Mapel said bitterly.
"So he's a habitual thief. I was wondering why someone would steal my bracelet. He's despicable. This kind of scoundrel should be arrested and thrown in jail," Wu Yu said indignantly, fully demonstrating his strong sense of justice.
"You also participated in the selection of the Chosen Ones at the Holy Light Ceremony?" Mapel asked in surprise.
"Let's try our luck, it's free anyway," Wu Yu said casually. He wasn't stupid enough to show off his determination in front of others.
"By the way, aren't you going to continue catching that thief?" Wu Yu's tactic was a strategic retreat, so that Maper wouldn't suspect that he was stalling for time.
"No need. If my men fail, there's no point in me rushing over now." Mapel rolled her eyes at Wu Yu and said with dissatisfaction, "It's all your fault. I trusted your strength so much that I left this position for you to intercept them. You really disappoint me. Didn't you say you were pretty good? How come you can't even stop a thief? Great Swordsman?"
Wu Yuchun pretended not to hear Mapel's sarcasm. Although the two were relatively polite to each other because of Phillis, strictly speaking, their tempers did not get along.
“By the way, I also had something to discuss with you, but I was tied up because of the bandits ravaging the capital. Now that I’ve run into you, Wu Yu, answer a few questions for me,” Maper said somewhat forcefully.
"Okay?" Wu Yu said reluctantly.
Wu Yu now only hopes that there are as few troublemakers as possible. Once he has safely passed the Holy Light Festival, he will not care what these people want to do.
“I’ve already learned about what happened at the academy from the Black Armor Guards, but they’ve kept the information about the organization that carried out the terrorist attack from them. Does Wu Yu know what kind of organization that is?” Maper asked seriously.
Wu Yu actually wanted to say he didn't know, so he could remain uninvolved.
However, according to Wu Yu's speculation, Maper would never give up so easily. She would definitely continue to investigate. If she accidentally angered the behemoth that is the Outer God Alliance, she, a mere sixth-level being, would probably not even know how she died.
Sigh, what can I do? I'm such a good person.
