The recollection ends.
"I don't want to stay at that bastard Otto's house. We hate each other." Mo Mo said firmly.
Moreover, if he really stayed for a few days, Mo Mo felt that he probably wouldn't be able to leave unscathed.
"So this is why you spent half the day at his house telling that Karen all afternoon about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" the system kept nagging. "But you didn't even acknowledge me all afternoon."
[That was so I could get another free dinner. Do you know how hard I tried?]
Although I hate to admit it, the food made by Otto's chef is really delicious.
"That's all you're good for," the system continued. "Then what are you doing in this alley? Didn't you want to get caught fast enough?"
Even the system could see Victor's mansion not far away.
Didn't I tell you? The most dangerous place is the safest place. They'd never expect me to come back here!
What's the truth?
I've gotten used to sleeping here and don't want to move.
【...】
"Heave-ho." Mo Mo threw the things he was carrying on his back onto the ground.
[After tinkering for so long, what exactly did I end up with?]
[You didn't expect that, did you? It's a sleeping bag!] Mo Mo spread out the crumpled thing and put his hands on his hips triumphantly.
You can also make this?
My dad taught me that.
Mo Mo easily slipped into her simple sleeping bag, snuggled closer, and relaxed completely. [Although I didn't do much today, I still felt good about myself...]
Lying in the alley, gazing up at the starry sky, Mo Mo let out a long sigh.
Finally, the most relaxing time of the day has arrived...
[Hmm? System, did you hear anything?]
[It seems...there is?]
[It sounds like footsteps? And they're getting closer!]
Mo Mo propped himself up and pressed himself against the wall nervously.
But the direction sounds a bit strange?
[Wait, Mo Zai, watch your head!]
[On your head?]
The sound of fabric fluttering reached Mo Mo's ears first. He looked up and saw a dark shadow gradually growing larger and larger in front of him.
"boom!!!"
Right in the bull's eye.

20. Transformation (Fake)! Purple Iris Phantom Thief!
"hiss......"
The dark figure that fell from the sky gasped, but felt no pain as expected. It was as if the ground beneath it was not cold earth, but a soft cushion of flesh.
It felt surprisingly good to rub my butt against it.
The striking purple iris mask on her face and her signature long, silver hair gave away her identity, but her purple dress was covered in wounds.
The Phantom Thief Karen, the Purple Iris, continues her righteous cause tonight as well.
The bulging sack clutched tightly in his hand indicated a bountiful harvest tonight; one wonders which unfortunate, heartless rich man has become the fat sheep this night.
"save......"
Before Karen could even rejoice at her unexpected good fortune, she saw a slender arm trembling as it rose from beneath her, followed by a weak cry for help.
"Alas!!!"
The sudden change that occurred on a dark and windy night sent a chill down Karen's spine, and she involuntarily increased her strength.
"Oh no!"
Another piercing scream rang out.
But the scream sounded strangely familiar to Karen.
"That voice...it's Momo!"
"It's me... Please get up quickly, I'm going to die, cough cough..."
The faint moan startled Karen, who hurriedly jumped off Momo's back and pulled him up from where he was lying on the ground. "Momo! Are you alright!"
"N-nothing...it's just that my eyes are still a little blurry..." No matter how much Mo Mo shook his head, Karen in front of him seemed to be staring at him as if she had created three shadow clones.
Same location, same plot, tsk tsk, what a coincidence.
[What a coincidence! Last time, she was the one who got crushed...]
"I'm so glad you're alright. What are you doing here?"
"That's the same question I wanted to ask you!"
"Of course I'm..." Karen lifted the bag in her hand, then suddenly realized, "Oh no, Mo Mo, get out of here right now! It's dangerous here!"
"Huh?" Mo Mo, whose eyes had just finished focusing, was taken aback. "What the heck?"
"There are pursuers chasing me! If you get caught, you're finished!" Karen shoved the sack in her hand into Mo Mo's arms and said urgently, "I'll distract them for you, you take these and go first!"
"Wait, what's going on?" Mo Mo, still bewildered, took the money bag. "How come there are pursuers?"
"It's that... the warning letter... the ambush... anyway, you understand?" Karen's fragmented explanation and constant hand gestures gave Mo Mo a general understanding of the situation.
That's why it's essential to send a notice letter!
Is the romance of a phantom thief really that important?
"But what will you do if I take all this with me?"
"I... Anyway, I'll be fine, you go first!" Karen's unusual behavior made Mo Mo feel a little uneasy, but he failed to discover the truth.
[Mo Zai, are you blind? This girl has a leg injury and probably can't run anymore. Otherwise, how do you think she would have fallen from the sky?]
Only after being alerted by the system did Mo Mo notice a shocking wound on Karen's right leg. Although it was not deep and did not bleed, it was always surrounded by a trace of ominous black aura.
"Are you injured?"
“It was a slip-up…” Karen’s eyes dimmed slightly, but she pushed Mo Mo again and said through gritted teeth, “There’s no time, you have to go!”
"What about you?"
"They won't do anything to me! Anyway, you'd better hurry up and leave, or it'll be too late!"
"No! How can I abandon you and run away!"
"I can't run anymore!"
"I'll take you away!"
[Hey you two, have you had enough?! Is this some kind of life-or-death situation?! Are you acting out an 8 PM soap opera?! With all this baggage, you think you can just run away?!]
"So you want me to betray my teammates? I can't do that!"
"Are you out of your mind?! Mo Zai, think this through. At most, she'll get a lecture and be locked up for a while, but you're going to lose your head!"
That won't do either. If I did that, how could I face being a knight?
"Hey, Momo, what are you standing there for! If you don't leave now, you'll really miss your chance!" Karen pulled Momo to the corner and lowered her voice.
The sound of hurried footsteps approaching the alley could already be heard.
"I..." Holding the heavy money bag in his arms, Mo Mo couldn't move his feet.
[I'm speechless. I've never seen anyone like you. There's a limit to being a nice guy! You're going to get flamed!]
[Even if I get flamed, I don't want to!] Mo Mo, no longer in the mood to argue with the system, glanced at the alleyway entrance. [System, is there really no other way?]
"Of course... there is still one!" The system's previously resolute tone suddenly changed.
【???!!!】
[Don't get angry when I tell you...] After uttering a bunch of nonsense, the system finally stammered out his thoughts.
[You're a real genius! How could you come up with such an ingenious method?]
Anyway, that's how it is. If things really get tough, just go out and fight them. If you win, all's well that way. If you lose, you can always be a hero again in eighteen years.
【...】
Mo Mo didn't answer the system. He glanced at Karen, who was still looking at him anxiously, wishing she could just throw him to a safe place.
Even in such a situation, she puts the safety of others before her own.
Unfortunately, this time the idiot met an even bigger idiot than her.
I never said I blamed you, but I'm going to fight this!
“Miss Karen!” Mo Mo looked at Karen firmly, interrupting her rambling persuasion.
"excuse me!"
......
"Lieutenant Eleanor!"
A guard hurried to Eleanor, who was dressed in uniform, and said timidly, "We still haven't found any trace of the Purple Iris Thief."
"Keep searching!" Eleanor frowned. "I injured her leg; she can't have gone far. We can't let her escape again tonight. We'll protect Schicksal's honor!"
Even so, being injured by "it" still gave him the strength to escape...
Could it be that the Phantom Thief Ziyuan wasn't that scumbag from China?
"Lieutenant Eleanor!" A guard's exclamation interrupted Eleanor's thoughts. "Look over there!"
