Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

Xia Worei responded coldly: "Harassing the special patrol team is an even more serious offense."

"But you can't catch me."

"Provoking the special patrol team, add another level of punishment."

Luna showed no fear and sighed, "Then I really am a woman with a heavy sin."

She leaped high into the air and jumped onto the tree.

It really does look like a cat. This thought flashed through Xia Worei's mind.

"Are you going to run away with your tail between your legs again?" Xia Worei's tone was indifferent, but her words were full of provocation.

She was gambling that this attention-seeking phantom thief might choose to stall them for a while to satisfy her twisted psychology. And that would be her chance to catch her.

"Yes, I'm going to run away."

Luna, however, remained unaffected and bowed in greeting.

Why can she talk about escaping so easily? Xia Worei sighed inwardly.

"If you all think that a little phantom thief is more evil than the source of evil that wreaks havoc on the entire Fontaine and plunges countless people into despair, then I don't mind continuing to play with you all."

Luna said in a lighthearted tone, "But don't blame me for being completely disappointed in you all then."

Xia Worei asked in surprise, "Disappointed?"

I never expected that a phantom thief would have such high hopes for their law enforcement court.

This feeling is really strange.

"Correct."

Would you have any expectations of the person who's going to put you in jail?

"Why not? Fontaine cannot exist without justice, can it?"

After saying this, Luna jumped into the distance.

Just as the special patrol team members were about to pull the trigger, Xia Wore raised her hand and called for a halt.

"Stop... No need to waste bullets. Guns are useless against her."

Tirena put down her gun in confusion, completely bewildered: "Captain, are we just going to let her go like this?"

Instead of answering immediately, Xia Wore walked over to the scattered Les and picked up a notebook from the ground.

"...Seal off the scene. Tonight, our task is to send these people to jail."

"Yes!"

Police tape was set up, roadblocks were placed, and special patrol teams stood guard with guns. Then, the Meiluxin members of the Shadow Chasing Court arrived to investigate and collect evidence.

"Put out the fire quickly!"

"I'm coming."

The water cannons quickly extinguished the still-burning cargo.

Xia Wore flipped through the notebook in her hand again.

She knew that this time, no matter what reasons the Phantom Thief White Cat had for destroying this Less trafficking gang, the Phantom Thief had indeed done a righteous thing.

However, the law does not allow for complete redemption of crimes through merit; it only allows for sentence reduction.

The phantom thief is still a criminal who needs to be arrested.

The reason she was allowed to escape was simply because crimes vary in severity and magnitude.

Eliminate the greater of the two evils, that's all.

Xia Wore had no doubts about this, but she still had a question in her heart: Why would the phantom thief do this?

Was it simply a case of targeting the treasures in the hands of these gangs and destroying them as a side effect?

should be.

But how did she know there was a Les trafficking gang in this place? Did she have information that neither the Court of Law Enforcement nor the Shadow Chaser had?

if it is like this....

Xia Worei put the notebook into the evidence bag and handed it to Meilushin and the others at Zhuyingting.

Melousin, a wondrous creature unique to Fontainebleau.

With its round head and body, and its bright, lively eyes, it looks just like a character from a fairy tale picture book.

However, they usually have excellent senses, enabling them to perform tasks that are difficult for humans to do and to detect clues that are difficult for humans to discover.

Therefore, the Shadow Court has many Meilushin in charge of investigation and reconnaissance.

They are often good partners and teammates of special patrol teams and security forces... However, many people simply think of them as perfect mascots.

"Thank you for your hard work, Captain Xia Worei!" The Meilushin and her team saluted earnestly.

"And you too, how are things?" Xia Worei returned the greeting.

"Although these people have broken a few bones, they are not dead. That phantom thief's move was really precise."

They're not dead...? Xia Worei thought they were all dead.

It seems to be sleeping too soundly, just like a baby.

After completing the handover procedures, the special patrol team concluded its operation and returned to headquarters.

Except for Xia Wore.

"...It's about time they showed up."

As she spoke, she turned around and looked up.

A familiar figure was sitting cross-legged on a tree, her face obscured by the shadows of the leaves, but Xia Wore was certain—she was smiling.

Luna asked with interest, "When did you notice me?"

"From the moment I leave the scene."

"It's truly remarkable that Miss Xia Wore has been able to endure this long."

Xia Worei said coldly, "Because I want to see just how serious the phantom thief's voyeuristic tendencies are."

"That depends on how beautiful Miss Chavory is," Luna said nonchalantly.

Xia Worei: "......"

Luna: "...Aren't you going to pick up your gun? There's a prisoner jumping around right in front of you."

Xia Wore crossed her arms and closed her eyes.

“I will not thank you. You destroyed an important criminal den, but you yourself are also a criminal. As the captain of the special patrol team, I will not treat you well, either morally or logically.”

"I don't need your thanks," Luna said calmly.

"That would be best."

I won't thank Luna, but I won't draw my gun right now either.

This is Xia Worelei's attitude.

Xia Worei was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why do you want to do this?"

21: It's changed! (referring to the offensive)

Luna swung her legs: "'Why do this?' Even if you ask me that, I don't know what you mean."

Xia Worei asked calmly, "Why attack them, who are also criminals?"

"Need a reason?"

Luna paid no attention to Xia Worei's probing.

Even though she couldn't see her face clearly, Xia Wore could sense that she was wearing an annoying smile.

She lightly leaped down from the tree, and sure enough, smiled: "Would you like to hear a story?"

"You say and I listen."

Luna, with her hands behind her back, paced back and forth, saying, "Well, a long time ago, there was a little girl whose parents died in a shooting, but the little girl survived because she was buying an ice cream cone."

"The perpetrator of the shooting was a man addicted to Les, so impoverished that he had no choice but to sell his soul to the devil."

The little girl believed justice would prevail, but little did she know that even as she grew up, the criminal remained unapprehended, and a star was drawn on his arm….

An asterisk? I've never heard of that kind of criminal signature before.

But since it's a case from a long time ago, the case file should still contain records.

A fleeting, enigmatic light flashed in Xia Wore's eyes. Although the Special Patrol Team was a voice for justice, she had also witnessed many people who went astray because justice was delayed.

"Do you... remember any other features?"

Luna looked up: "How could I possibly remember something like that?"

Yes, she must have been a child at that time.

"After all, it was something I made up."

"........."

Xia Worei took a deep breath, suppressing the anger that welled up inside her.

She had just felt sorry for Luna, which made her seem like a fool.

Like an idiot.

"Is lying fun?" Xia Worei asked in a low voice.

"It depends on the occasion, the person, and my current status. Believing the phantom thief's words isn't a good thing, Captain."

Luna touched the mask on her face.

“You might be expecting me to give you a deep-seated reason for my hatred, but there isn’t one. I want to get rid of them, and the reason is simple—they have the treasure I want.”
