The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 121 Any evil will eventually be brought to justice, and a thieves group is established!

It was three o'clock in the morning.

"It's almost time."

Chris threw back the quilt and jumped off the bed energetically. At this time, she had changed into a nightgown that was convenient for movement, and her face was covered by a black cloth.

Standard thief attire.

Gently pushed the window open, stepped on the window sill, and jumped up. He nimbly arrived at the roof of the three-story hotel, and at the same time saw the mysterious back of a man standing on the roof, wearing a black dress and fluttering his clothes.

The sound of footsteps on tiles seemed to startle this person. He did not turn around, but spoke:
"You came?"

"I am coming."

"You shouldn't have come."

"But I'm here anyway... Enough, stop wasting time! Anyway, what are you doing here?!"

Chris couldn't help but complain under his breath.

I have to say that she is quite smart. Zun Zun knocked her on the head three times before. Despite the reminder of the story, Chris still guessed Zun Zun's intention and knew that it was a secret signal to her.

"So, where are we going to steal later? I didn't ask because I came here in a hurry. If we go to a place that doesn't suit my taste, I will turn around and leave... Wait, what are you laughing at?"

Zun Zun turned his head.

I noticed Chris covering her mouth and laughing.

"I'm sorry, but your mask... is so funny... hahahaha————"

He is still wearing the Fire Man mask, and although it covers his face, it makes him several times funnier.

"Okay, I'll tell you."

After laughing, Chris tried to keep her face straight and said, "We are going to Viscount Schneider's house to collect the artifacts he collected with the help of foreign forces. Don't worry, he is a noble with a bad reputation, and many civilians have been bullied and oppressed by him. I have decided that after collecting the artifacts, I will take some gems and send them to the door of the Eris Church as a rescue fund."

"I see. I'll go back to sleep then."

"Give me a moment!"

When Zun Zun was about to climb down from the roof and go back, she grabbed his arm.

"Zun Zun, are you afraid and want to escape?"

"Don't be ridiculous, Chris. I thought it would be a difficult place like the Earl's or Marquis's house. A small noble like the Viscount should not waste my precious sleep time."

"what!?"

I thought Zun Zun was afraid that the other party was a noble, but I didn't expect that he was unhappy because he despised the other party for not being a noble and felt that this trip was not difficult.

The Crimson Demons' train of thought is indeed different.

Chris sighed and said, as if she really had no idea what to do with you, "If it's because of this, you don't have to worry. Schneider was originally a nobleman, but he made a mistake before and was stripped of his noble title. But later he became a viscount again by donating to the kingdom. You understand, right?"

"Oh?"

Zun Zun's eyes lit up.

People who are deprived of their noble titles would generally be held accountable and expelled from their country, and might even be executed. However, not only did this not happen, he even became a noble again by donating money. How rich must he be?
"So our target this time is him?"

"That's right, that's right."

Chris was also very happy to have aroused Zun Zun's interest. Just as she was about to speak about her next plan -

"Let me hear about that plan, too."

A familiar voice came from behind them. Zun Zun and Chris, who were discussing the evil plan, stopped when they heard this.

Their faces changed like rusty robots that had not been oiled for a long time. Their necks made a crackling sound and they turned back to look at the people standing behind them.

"Love... Iris?"

"What are you two doing here?"

Hearing Alice's innocent question, Zun Zun was momentarily troubled as to whether he should tell the truth. However, he remembered that the child should have a good impression of the thieves' group.

"Actually we..."

"We are looking at the stars, right!"

Chris covered Zun Zun's mouth and stopped him from speaking.

Stargazing?
Alice raised her head and looked at the dark night sky with unpredictable clouds. There was no stars, not even a moon.

——This excuse is too bad!

——I just said it casually!
The two of them exchanged glances secretly.

Alice said in a tone that seemed innocent but had a scheming look that showed she saw through everything: "But I just heard you say you were going to Viscount Schneider's house to steal something. Did I hear it wrong? Should I go to Viscount Schneider's house later? Although it's a little late, he should welcome me."

Ok? ? ?
Where on earth did you start eavesdropping? And this threat is too skillful. You are not the simple and kind Alice that I know!
Zun Zun and Chris looked at each other, and when they saw that they couldn't hide it anymore, they told everything they were going to do.

"Actually, we plan to sneak into Viscount Schneider's house and take away a special magic item."

"What does that mean? It sounds like a lot of fun!"

Alice had little stars in her eyes.

Seeing her eager reaction, Chris said in order to change her mind: "No, this is not a joke. The place we are going to is extremely dangerous and accidents may happen. For this reason, we must hide our identities and cannot be exposed to the sun."

Zun Zun then said: "That's right, we are the ones who lurk in the shadows and hunt shadows!"

"Lurking shadows, hunting shadows!?" Alice's eyes lit up when she heard this.

Chris continued, "Also... not only that, in order to punish the black-hearted noble, we may have to take some illegal measures within our scope of thought to expose his hidden crimes so that he can be sent to prison..."

Zun Zun followed up by saying, “That’s right, any evil will be brought to justice!”

"Punish the nobles, and bring any evil to justice!? Please let me join you! And let me become your partner!"

Hearing this, Alice's eyes became brighter for some reason, and her face turned red as she clenched her fists. She didn't know what touched her heart.

Chris glared at Zun Zun who was pretending to whistle.

"Would you please stop talking?"

"Hey, Chris, since Iris is so motivated, it's okay to let her join, right? Or do you want her to go to the Schneider family as a guest? Besides, Chris, you don't want your whereabouts to be exposed, right?"

"No no no!"

Chris gritted her teeth.

She probably didn't quite understand why Zun Zun insisted on bringing Alice, the princess of the kingdom, with her, but as Zun Zun said, if Alice went to the Schneider family, her plan would definitely fail, which would bring considerable difficulties to their actions.

"Since it has come to this, then fine. However, this is a rather dangerous operation, Iris, you must follow instructions."

"no problem!"

Alice agreed immediately and said, "King... ahem, the crepe dealer is very powerful and will definitely not hold you back!"

What the hell is a crepe dealer?

Why does it sound like they are from the Crimson Demon Clan?

It is true that she will not be a burden. It is no exaggeration to say that Alice can now easily deal with the two of them.

"anyway……"

Chris asked curiously, "Iris, how did you find out that we would meet on the rooftop in the middle of the night?"

"Needless to say, Iris must have associated this with the subsequent plot of the book she read, so she discovered it." Zun Zun asserted.

however--

"No, that's not the case. The room I live in is right opposite this place. Since Zun Zun always stands on the roof at night, I was curious so I came here to ask. I didn't expect to hear your conversation."

Alice pointed to a room with lights on in the distance, which gave her a clear view of the place. Chris was speechless when she saw it.

“Your Excellency…”

"Don't ask anything."

"Hey……"

"Don't say anything."

Damn it! I hate this alternate world where there are no clocks and I can't tell the exact time!

Zun Zun laughed in a low voice: "Hehehe, in fact, I probably already guessed that there would be such a situation, so I prepared in advance."

"what?"

Chris and Alice looked at him in confusion, and then they saw Zun Zun tear off his funny mask and black nightgown, revealing the pure white dress underneath.

"Look at my gorgeous disguise!"

The pure white suit and trousers are matched with a light blue lining, and the red tie is quite eye-catching. The magician's top hat and the aristocratic monocular lens make Zun Zun look very elegant, and the white cloak fluttering in the wind brings a touch of chic and unrestrained.

He didn't look like a thief who would steal things from other people's homes, but more like an elegant aristocrat who was about to attend a ball.

Zun Zun threw his cloak.

"Hehehe, the Crimson Demons are the most particular about appearances! How about this outfit of mine, isn't it handsome?"

"Very handsome! Really handsome!"

Alice completely became his little fan girl.

Chris said angrily, "I'm telling you, we're going to steal something, not attend a dance! I know the Crimson Demons like cool things, but shouldn't the colors be red and black? White or something, that's too conspicuous!"

"That's not right, Chris. It's true that the Crimson Demons like pomp and circumstance, and it's also true that they like the red and black color combination, but I still like this outfit better! But don't worry, I have another set of spare clothes prepared."

Zun Zun ripped open the lining, revealing a black dress underneath. This was something he learned from a certain prudent hero. Reserve, reserve, reserve, reserve, reserve.

"Don't worry, we are fully prepared."

"Aha……"

Chris twitched the corner of her mouth.

"Rather than that, let's think about what name to give it."

Zun Zun said to Chris, "Originally I wanted to call them something simple like the Male and Female Devils, or the Black and White Thieves, but since Iris has joined us, we have to change the name. The Now You See Me, or the Phantom Thieves of Hearts? We can't call them the Touyama Thieves or the Edo Thieves, right? Or... Chris, do you like the name Silver Hair Thieves?"

"That kind of thing doesn't matter!"

Chris just felt depressed.

Then she walked towards the target mansion. She had begun to doubt whether her decision to ask Zun Zun to help was the right one.
