"..." The homeless man watched Eleanor leave in silence until she disappeared from sight.
We're finally safe...
[Not bad, Mo Zai, you actually came up with this idea, haha.] The system chuckled twice. [This little girl has absolutely no idea that it was me talking to her just now.]
"You have no idea how tired I was from lip-syncing and acting out your scenes." Mo Mo slumped in the corner. "Luckily, it was dark, so she couldn't see any details."
Just now, a real sword was pointed at my throat. If things had gone wrong, I really would have been done for.
Luckily, I won the bet.
[These tricks of switching the real thief and deceiving the enemy were truly impressive. Even if she had two more brains, she wouldn't have guessed that the real thief was switched out from the start, and she even wanted to see the wound on his leg.] The system couldn't help but give Mo Mo a second look of admiration. [So calm, kudos to you!]
[Hmph, my dad once said: A man should always remain calm.]
Okay, enough with the praise, you're getting really excited. Put your hand down.
[Sigh...] Mo Mo lowered his raised right hand. [It's just a pity about all that money.]
Be content; you're lucky to have escaped unscathed.
[I just hope Karen can escape safely too...]
Leaning against the wall, the fatigue in my body gradually brought waves of weariness.
Now we finally have a chance to sort out the situation properly, and there is no doubt that this is another plot point that did not occur in the original storyline.
If things had gone according to plan, Karen should have completed her phantom thief mission, discovered Victor's men kidnapping someone at night, and gradually uncovered the secrets of the basement in Victor's mansion. But before Karen could even realize it, she was caught up by pursuers...
and many more!
Mo Mo suddenly opened his eyes.
basement!

22. Of all the martial arts skills, this is "stealth"!
Under the cover of darkness, the purple figure resumed its actions.
[Mo Zai, what's wrong? Why are you sobbing?]
I'm worried something might happen to Karen...
Mo Mo carefully made her way through the alleyways, trying her best not to make a sound. Heaven knows if there were any bystanders nearby.
We've arrived at Victor's mansion.
Hiding by the wall, Mo Mo cautiously peeked out half his head to look at the towering building, then covered his face.
"Your worries have come true, Mo Zai. It seems we're a step too late," the system said regretfully.
At the gate of the mansion not far away, several guards were holding a dejected Karen, seemingly about to take her somewhere.
[She was practically unable to walk, yet she was still thinking about saving others? This girl is really something...]
【...】
Mo Mo didn't reply, but silently followed along the corner of the wall, looking for cover.
It's obvious that Karen has discovered the secret of the basement in Victor's mansion, and she's probably feeling disappointed and confused by the dark side of fate.
What the hell is this?! How could she still run into something like this when things were already like this?
"Hey, Mo Zai, what are you trying to do? Don't be impulsive," the system suddenly spoke up.
I wouldn't be that stupid! I just wanted to catch up.
Don't tell me you have some bold ideas this time.
"Is that not possible?" Mo Mo scratched his head regretfully. "I should have reminded her sooner!"
[You're acting like your reminder will make a difference. Don't fool yourself. She can't just ignore it. Her arrest has absolutely nothing to do with you.]
【...】
Don't be reckless! You're walking into a trap! If you keep going, I'm going to yell!
【...】
Despite enduring the system's constant nagging, Mo Mo followed the guards to a building that looked cold and cruel.
The system ultimately didn't actually howl out.
"Is this the prison?" Mo Mo muttered to himself as he watched the guards lead Karen into the building from a distance, huddled in a corner.
【...】
【Huh? Not shouting anymore?】
[Did my yelling even work? Huh? I've said everything I could to criticize. You're really good at handling pressure, I give up. Do whatever you want.]
"I'm sorry." Mo Mo chose to apologize. "But..."
"But you just can't help watching, right?" The system's voice sounded quite regretful. "Alright, I'm not really blaming you. Having someone as brain-dead as you is the result of my own bad karma from a past life!"
No monsters?
They've practically cursed everyone's ancestors for eighteen generations; someone with a low tolerance for such insults would probably have fainted on the spot.
How exactly is such an "elegant and easy-going" belt made?
I think you and that Karen are cut from the same cloth! Both incredibly stupid!
I feel embarrassed when you praise me like that...
[I wasn't praising you, you brain-dead idiot!]
The system's furious cursing had no effect on Mo Mo; having failed to achieve its goal, the system could only continue to sulk.
So, what are you going to do now? Go in and save your sweetheart?
"Need I say more?" Mo Mo tiptoed onto the roof. "Of course, I'm going to sneak in."
Why don't you find a greatsword and shield first?
【......roll.】
......
After climbing over several walls, scaling several gates, and dodging wave after wave of guards, Mo Mo finally managed to sneak into the prison after going through countless hardships.
This cold and dark place not only imprisons the most heinous criminals, but also suggests that Destiny itself is shrouded in darkness.
[This feels surprisingly easy? Could it be that I have a talent for being an assassin?]
With a sigh of relief, Mo Mo glanced again at the patrolling guards who were gradually walking away behind him.
I have a feeling something's fishy... Are these people just sitting around doing nothing?
The system's suspicions were not unfounded; the infiltration had gone almost smoothly, without any close calls or dangerous incidents.
Don't scare me!
"I'm just telling you to be careful!" the system emphasized again. "Of course, there's also the possibility that those guards are all complete noobs. In any case, proceed with caution and find your sweetheart first."
"Of course..." Mo Mo echoed, then suddenly retorted, "You've been calling me 'my sweetheart' since just now, so call her by her name properly!"
Don't give me that! I don't believe you'd be this invested if it were Otto!
[Who says no! I treat everyone equally!]
The daily banter with the system slightly dispelled the oppressive atmosphere in the prison, and Mo Mo did not forget his purpose in coming here.
With light steps, they passed by the empty or occupied prison cells.
Not knowing the exact location, Mo Mo could only use a clumsy method to find it.
After wandering around the near-maze-like prison for an unknown amount of time, dodging several sleepy guards, Mo Mo finally found his target.
Karen slumped on the cold ground, staring blankly at the ground, lost in thought.
"Miss Karen." The cat reached the cell door, and Mo Mo called softly, "Miss Karen?"
"..."
Perhaps Mo Mo's voice was too soft, because Karen didn't react at all.
[Oh no, he's probably taken a huge hit and gone completely insane.]
【...】
Ignoring the system's ambiguous words, Mo Mo picked up a pebble from beside his feet and threw it at Karen.
Right on the forehead.
"???" Karen, as if just waking up, covered her reddened forehead and looked around in confusion. Finally, she saw a person wearing a familiar mask and clothes at the door. "Momo?"
Is it really necessary to keep calling it that at a time like this...?
"Shh." Mo Mo made a shushing gesture. "Don't make a sound. I'm here to save you."
"Save...me?" Karen was slightly taken aback.
[By the way, Mo Zai, how are you going to get her out? Do you have the key?]
"I..." Mo Mo was also stunned.
It seems like Ah Xi Ba hasn't considered this issue at all!
You idiot! You really are mentally challenged!
"No, it's okay, it's just a lock. My dad taught me how to pick a lock; as long as you give me the right things, I can definitely open it!"
[I really want to complain, but what else is there to use here besides stones? Are you going to grind stones into needles?!]
The system's critiques were as sharp and incisive as ever.
The harsh reality forced Mo Mo into an or2-like posture.
"Miss Karen, please wait a moment, I'll go out and find something to rescue you right away!" Mo Mo, who had quickly recovered from the shock, hurriedly got up.
Just as he turned to leave, Karen grabbed his hand from inside the cell.
"Wait, Momo, listen to me."
