Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

"That's not the case; it's just criminals scribbling."

Charlotte wrote furiously.

2. The court seized the sales ledger of Les.

Generally speaking, if a reporter asks "Is that really the case?" and the official response is no, then there is a considerable probability that it is.

What kind of person do you think the Phantom Thief White Cat is?

Charlotte has hit the nail on the head.

Upon hearing this question, Xia Wore felt a surge of anger.

What kind of person do you think the Phantom Thief White Cat is?

Very simple.

She turned around and said expressionlessly, "Incomprehensible."

...............

The next day's Steambird newspaper.

A righteous phantom thief? Or just a spur-of-the-moment act of kindness?

Just last night, between 8 and 9 p.m., a hideout of the Less trafficking gang in Fontaine was bombed and attacked. The attacker was none other than the phantom thief White Cat, who had appeared before.

.........

It is reported that the Phantom Thief White Cat sent a crime warning letter to the Special Patrol Team, and at the scene of the trafficking gang, Chasing Shadows found the torn warning letter.

After restoration, the notice was indeed written by the phantom thief White Cat. In other words, she issued a notice to the trafficking gang at the same time as she issued the notice to the special patrol team.

.........

The phantom thief, White Cat, stole a gem from the trafficking gang, but the rest of the valuables showed no signs of being touched.

.........

Captain Xia Wore describes the Phantom Thief White Cat as "an incomprehensible fellow."

..........

Undeniably, the phantom thief White Cat successfully dismantled a criminal gang whose souls had been sold to the devil, and brought justice to countless victims who had been torn apart from their families and whose homes had been destroyed.

However, was this act of justice a spur-of-the-moment decision, or did she have ulterior motives?

This newspaper urges its readers to be vigilant about all transactions around them to avoid being scammed. In Captain Xia Worei's words:

"Think carefully about why such a good opportunity fell into your lap, and you'll realize it's a trap."

Free is often the most expensive! Large rebates are also a scam! Beware of scams when signing up for memberships!

However, the new membership discounts offered to existing customers by this newspaper are absolutely not a scam, so please rest assured.

..........

Luna yawned as she finished reading today's Steambird News.

Is it incomprehensible?

While that was indeed the case from Xia Wore's perspective, she felt she had been quite friendly to Xia Wore; she certainly wouldn't want to kiss someone she didn't like.

She put down the newspaper and glanced at the clock.

We still have some time, let's upgrade first!

As soon as she got home last night, she took a shower and buried her head in her pillow and fell fast asleep, completely ignoring the reward for her successful mission.

【Action Success】

Security Level: High

[Treasure Rarity Level: C]

[Action Awareness: Widely Known]

[Glamour Level: Heart-fluttering]

【结算点数：200（C级宝物）x3（警备强度）x3（行动知名度）X2（华丽度）=3600】

Is that considered high security level?

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. If she hadn't dismantled those self-regulating mechanisms beforehand, a direct confrontation would have been a bit troublesome.

But it's only a little bit.

Taking the security level up to the next level would be "a slim chance of survival." Under what circumstances would that happen?

"Perhaps it's like dealing with Vilette?"

If the treasure were rarer, that would be even better, but Luna could tell at a glance that this gem was in a completely different league from the Maiden's Tear.

"What else can I say?"

Gems, Out!

But 3600 points is still quite a lot; the main improvement is in the visual appeal.

Level 1 only adds 100 points to the splendor, but from level 2 onwards it becomes multiplied by N, which is not bad.

As expected, a phantom thief has to cause some explosions and say some weird things... Luna nodded and started adding points.

First, pull up the existing ones.

[Wind Blast Kick (LV: 2/3): Gather wind element in your feet to unleash a powerful kick. It can knock back enemies and also enhance your own leg strength, allowing you to jump and run faster—and now, you can unleash it while standing on the void!]

-500 points.

It felt like I had suddenly become the protagonist of an action game.

But some people can't do a double jump, I won't say who.

[Theft (LV: 3/5): Can steal three items from a target from 3 meters away]

The number of points required for the upgrade has increased... Luna glanced at the requirement: 1000 points.

She decided to level it up anyway. She had a feeling that maxing out this skill would be incredibly powerful.

The most useful skills are often the most unassuming.

-1000 points.

2100 points left.

[Singing (LV: 3/3): Your singing voice is a treasure of the universe]

-1000 points.

[Acting Skills (LV2/3): You were born for the stage, and the stage shines because of you. Yes, you are the girl of the stage! Your acting skills are comparable to those of master actors.]

-500 points.

Luna lay on the sofa, legs crossed: "Hmm, leveling up to the maximum level is easier than I thought."

But that's fine too.

With her last 600 points, she wanted to invest in a rather special skill.

[The Phantom Thief of a Thousand Faces: You can instantly change your appearance and voice. The makeup skills that every phantom thief must master are useless to you because you can directly change your face—but naturally, you cannot change your gender; what you don't have, you can't create!]

Since their public identity is already well-known, this skill is practically indispensable.

Otherwise, they will definitely be suspected.

This eliminates the need for changing clothes or disguising oneself; one can simply change their face.

Luna took out a hand mirror and tried to change her appearance.

Transform into long, straight white hair!

"...Why does she remind me of the heroine of a certain visual novel? Cough!"

Next comes the voice change.

"Feeling great! — Wow, the voice is exactly the same..."

She tried to become like Funina, but it didn't work.

The adjustments to her appearance couldn't deviate too drastically from her original look, so they also couldn't make her ugly.

After playing with the transformation for a while, Luna finally left home satisfied.

She has something to do next.

Not long after, inside the theater troupe.

Everyone was resting and chatting happily, waiting for the rehearsal to begin, when an unexpected person appeared in front of them.

Xia Wore asked casually, "Who is the screenwriter Judith?"

All eyes turned to the bewildered Judith.

“It’s you… Although this isn’t my job, the special patrol team can’t ignore the public’s requests—Miss Judith, you are accused of ‘murder.’ Please go to the opera house this afternoon for your trial.”

"Accusations?"

"Huh? Murder?"

"Is this some kind of misunderstanding...? Who made the accusation?" The troupe leader, Romy, panicked immediately.

"it's me."

Luna slowly walked out and stood beside Xia Worei.

Xia Worei glanced at Luna.

A popular leading actress accuses the playwright of her own troupe... Life is truly full of drama.

That said, her hair and eye color are the same as the phantom thief, White Cat...

She squinted and observed carefully for a few moments, but Luna's superb acting skills didn't reveal any flaws.

Xia Wore had no choice but to look away: "If I don't see you by the designated time, don't blame the security team for 'inviting' you over."
