Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

"Looking at it this way, the phantom thief White Cat actually has some principles."

"Don't have any goodwill towards her. She's just a sinner after all," Xia Worei said softly.

"I'm...sorry..."

Tirena looked towards the mansion; the pearl-embellished harpsichord remained unmoved, still situated in the second-floor hall. While the hall was indeed a labyrinthine passageway, it was also an easy place to set traps and ambushes.

The phantom thief will be attacked by the suddenly appearing special patrol team and security team as soon as he arrives.

Shouldn't this help them save face a little?

"...It feels so quiet," Tirena muttered.

Xia Wore frowned; it was indeed too quiet.

Something is wrong.

Just then, the sound of a zither came from the sky.

"The sound of a zither? Who is it...?"

"It's the Phantom Thief! Everyone, follow me!"

How could they sneak in so silently? Were all the traps and ambushes ineffective?

Xia Wore and her subordinates immediately rushed into the mansion and climbed the stairs.

The closer you get, the clearer you can hear the music.

The melody is melodious and gentle, like a clear spring under the spring sun, or like raindrops falling at night, bringing tranquility.

The hurried footsteps stopped abruptly, and the shout that rang out silenced the music.

"Don't move, Special Patrol Team!"

As she raised her gun, Xia Wore's gaze quickly swept across the room: the unconscious security and special patrol teams, the clockwork mechanism with its energy module precisely disassembled... Clearly, the ambush had failed.

Alkien sat in the corner, neither daring to make a sound nor move.

Luna sat in front of the keyboard, her fingertips sliding down the keys, then slowly pressing the keyboard cover to conceal the black and white keys.

"What a wonderful instrument! What do you all think of my playing?"

Tirena stammered, "It sounds pretty good..."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Luna stood up, facing the several dark gun barrels, and gave them a playful wink.

“'Long time no see,' Miss Chavory, did you miss me?”

57: They definitely have some kind of secret relationship! (Fourth update)

Faced with Luna's obvious teasing, Xia Wore simply responded with a single sentence.

"Yes, I'm haunted by it."

"Wow, you care about me that much? I like Miss Xia Wore very much too."

Xia Wore aimed the camera at Luna's body, not at her limbs, as that would make it easier for Luna to see through it.

"What I mean is, I want to catch you and send you to trial at any time."

Luna smiled instead: "Then my crime must have bothered Miss Chavory too much."

Bang! The only response to her words was a gunshot.

The sword light tore through the darkness, splitting the bullet in two.

Luna stroked the sword, her tone brisk: "You know, guns are useless against me."

"However, you can't hit me too hard, after all, the treasure is still here."

Luna walked around the keyboard a few steps, stroking the body of the instrument.

A hint of nostalgia flickered in her eyes. The keyboard... the last time she played it was when she was a child.

"Please sit down, everyone. I'd like to perform another song for you."

“No need. I’d like to see how you plan to steal such a heavy treasure.” Xia Worei gestured for the special patrol team to surround Luna.

Luna glanced at them, but didn't pay them any mind.

"Indeed, this is the biggest and heaviest treasure I have ever stolen. Without enough manpower, I'm afraid it would have been impossible to succeed."

"But that's under 'normal' circumstances."

She held up her finger and winked playfully, saying, "Please don't blink, the moment of truth is about to arrive. I'm going to perform a magic trick for you all."

"Magic? Isn't it magic?" Tirena asked, puzzled.

Perhaps it's due to the influence of existing stories, or perhaps it's because phantom thieves are inherently required to possess a certain glamorous quality.

In short, phantom thieves are often equated with magic.

You can't do magic? What kind of phantom thief are you! — Luna wanted to say that this was prejudice.

Although she likes to break down doors and rob people directly, who can say that she isn't a genuine phantom thief?

If someone only knows magic and not magic tricks, isn't that still a phantom thief?

How could a phantom thief be such an inconvenient thing?

"That's right, it's magic."

"three."

"two."

"one."

With a snap of the fingers, a hole suddenly appeared in the void.

Luna raised her hand, gently grasped the opening, and pulled it toward the keyboard.

The keyboard seemed to be erased from the world bit by bit, disappearing from everyone's sight.

It's simple and brutal, yet so incredible that it's unbelievable.

Where's the zither?

How did she disappear? What ability did she use?

"Ta-da! The magic was a great success! It's gone! The performance is over. Can you give me a round of applause?"

Xia Wore put down her musket and conjured a long spear. The other special patrol team members also came to their senses and switched to melee weapons.

If ranged attacks don't work, then close-quarters combat is the way to go!

Don't underestimate the special patrol team, thinking they only know how to use guns to fight criminals.

Xia Wore gripped the gun tightly: "When you're sent to Mello Petersburg, I'll applaud you. This time, I'm going to take you down, Phantom Thief White Cat!"

As the spear flashed, Luna dodged to the side, kicked the spear shaft away, and then quickly retreated.

Using the momentum, Xia Wore spun around and thrust out another spear.

The gun tip was as fast as a bullet, almost grazing Luna's face before embedding itself in the wall.

She quickly closed in. If wielding a long spear could be considered a wall slam, then she had indeed wall-slammed Luna.

"Have you found any evidence?" Luna asked in a low voice.

Xia Worei paused, then lowered her voice: "No, he hid very quickly and discreetly; he's an expert."

"Want me to help you?"

Xia Worei stared into Luna's eyes: "...No need."

She released the spear and threw a punch.

The special patrol captain is not only skilled with guns and rifles; she will learn anything that can subdue criminals.

"That's so violent! She'll never get married like that."

"I'll only do this for you, don't worry."

"The love of the special patrol team leader is truly heavy."

After dodging Xia Worei's punches and kicks, Luna finally disappeared into the dark corridor.

Xia Worei drew her spear: "I'll go after them first, you guys wake them up."

"Yes!"

at the same time.

In a corner outside the mansion, Lynette was listening intently.

First came the sound of a piano, then gunshots, and then the sounds of fighting...

That's right, the phantom thief White Cat has arrived and is currently clashing with the special patrol team.

"Brother, the time has come," she whispered.

"They've already started fighting? Well, this kind of chaos is perfect for us."

"The special patrol team may have obtained the intelligence, but not all of it. On the premise of ensuring a safe retreat, we must get as much as possible what 'Father' wants...Fimini, the evacuation is in your hands."

Fimini nodded.

Linni's plan was to gather as much intelligence as possible amidst the chaos.

A direct confrontation with the special patrol team would be absolutely dangerous and unwise.

He finally checked his and Lynette's outfits; their faces were completely covered, and Lynette's most eye-catching cat ears and cat-shaped accessories were also hidden.

"Let's go!"
