Mi Home Chat Group: Let's start with a roundup and have some fun!

(Source: YouTuber)

In the pitch-black video store, Lucia's hearty laughter filled the entire room: "Hehehehe..."

Just as Lucia was preparing to safely evacuate with a sack full of spoils, the room lights suddenly turned on.

Immediately afterwards, Vivian and Trigger suddenly rushed out from an unknown corner, glaring angrily at Lucia, and questioned her in unison:

"What are you doing! (╬◣д◢)"

[Zhe: Something's not right. The video store was dark, and it was obvious that neither Ling nor I were home. How did Lucia get in?]

[Ah Quan: That laughter sounds a bit shady, and with her carrying that bulging sack, she's definitely up to no good.]

[Ying: Just look at those coconut horns on her head, just like Gan Yu's, she doesn't look like someone so poor she needs to steal.]

[Gan Yu: I already said that's a Qilin horn, and I'm not a coconut sheep, nor do I produce coconut milk /(//o/ω/o//)/]

Chapter 371 Recently, the rope maker's breathing has been very steady while he sleeps; I can hear it clearly from the corner of the wall.

Trigger stood with his hands on his hips, glaring angrily at Lucia, the two small lights on his mask turning red.

"Tell me honestly, what were you planning to do sneak into the rope maker's room? Steal something?"

Lucia, tightly bound by ropes, was immediately drenched in sweat and tried her best to defend herself:

"No, this is a necessary measure for the security operation."

Vivian frowned, her eyes filled with suspicion towards Lucia:

"Security operation? I didn't know Lord Phaethon had hired security. I haven't heard anything about it."

[Ophis: You wretched Hagiban, Hagiwi, and Hagilu, you bunch of guys went to collect supplies and didn't even call me (o｀ε'o)]

[Captain: Hiss~, it's rare to see such professional turtle shell bondage!]

[Sangbo: Their techniques are so skilled, they must have practiced a lot in private (⊙o⊙)]

[Amber: What a fake explanation! If Lucia hadn't been sneaking around with that sack and grinning like an idiot, I would have actually believed her. ╮(︶﹏︶)╭]

[Ring: So the information about the Mockingbird is so detailed? They even know whether my brother and I have hired security.]

[Zhe: But then again, why are Vivian and Trigger also in my room (o_o)?]

[Trigger & Vivian: Hehe~! (?o? o?)?]

Lucia was a little embarrassed, not expecting to be exposed so quickly.

"I, I...ヾ('▽｀;)ゝ"

During Lucia's interrogation, the two small lights on the trigger faceplate briefly turned orange, but quickly returned to red:

"Yes, I see the rope maker every day, and I've never seen him invite security personnel."

Lucia looked at the two of them with a serious expression, her tone suddenly becoming stern:

"No, recently there have been monsters using telepathy to contact humans in nightmares. I'm here to protect the Rope Craftsman's dream world."

[Yakoda: Look at Lucia's stammering, she definitely hasn't thought about what she'll do if she gets caught.]

[Zhe: Wait a minute, what do you mean by "watching me every day" (?OдO)b]

[Ai: Hehehe, it's probably not just watching, the light on Trigger's face has already betrayed her excitement]

[Ophis: No wonder Trigger Girl is nowhere to be found during breaks, turns out she went to the video store]

[Silver Wolf: Using telepathy to contact humans in nightmares, such a familiar premise, so... you watch Kamen Rider too.]

[Luca: So you're the guardian of dreams, ZZZ, but where's your driver?]

Billy: Awaken! Good morning! Rider! Ze Ze Zeztz! Impact!

Vivian felt this explanation made much more sense, and just as she was about to release Lucia, a thought flashed through her mind, and she remembered that she had been there at the time:

"I see... No, Lord Phaethon has been sleeping much better lately, I saw it in the closet!"

After Trigger helped Vivian testify, he turned his attention to the sack Lucia had been carrying:

"Yes, the rope maker's breathing has been very steady lately when he sleeps. I could hear it clearly from the corner... What's your backpack for?"

[Furina: Hahaha, a second goal! Lucia got exposed by Vivian again!]

[Captain: It has to be Vivian, she can even talk so confidently about peeping from the closet.]

[Will-o'-the-Wisp: Hiding in the corner to eavesdrop was purely Trigger's personal behavior; please don't generalize it to the Opoles Squad.]

[Ring: I'm suddenly a little worried about my brother's personal safety]

[Hanabi: It's okay, I believe Ms. Hoshimi Miyabi will be happy to help look after your brother's safety (,,?ω?,,)]

[Hoshimi Miyabi: I can provide 24/7 close protection for Tetsuya's training at any time]

Seeing Vivian and Trigger simultaneously reach for their sacks, Lucia quickly tried to stop them:

"Don't open it, that's..."

After the sack was opened, Vivian casually took something out of it, then looked at the culprit in front of her with a mixture of shock and anger:

"Lord Faetong's pillowcase! You...you actually dared to take this thing! (╬◣д◢)"

Lucia: "This is what I picked up (；O зO)"

[Star: It's just a sack, why is Lucia so nervous? Is there some treasure inside?]

[Yuan Shang: I thought Trigger and Vivian hiding in the room and spying was the limit, but I didn't expect there were even more experts!]

[Zhe: No wonder when I come back to my room lately, there's only a pillowcase left on the bed, and the pillowcase always disappears. Turns out it was Lucia who did it. Speechless.JPG]

[Dream Seeker: Seeing Lucia get so emotional, Vivian probably wants her too, right? *winking emoji*]

[Aiyi: Hahaha, she's even using a dialect! And she's a Henan native, Lu Xiya! Awesome!!!]

Trigger looked at the gray-black long-sleeved shirt he pulled out of the sack, the two small lights on his mask gradually turning scarlet:

"The rope maker's clothes are still unwashed! This is theft!"

Lucia: "This, this is also something I picked up (；O зO)"

Vivian felt a long, narrow object in the sack and pulled it out.

"And Lord Phaethon's toothbrush! Even I didn't dare to covet it, you've really gone too far!"

Seeing that Vivian had finished berating her and was about to take away her spoils, Lucia couldn't take it anymore:

"Then don't put it in your pocket! (＞Д＜)"

[Ling: No wonder I haven't seen my brother doing laundry these past two days. I thought he hadn't showered. Turns out he was just missing! Oh, I see.JPG]

Paimon: Something's not right, Vivian! What do you mean, even you didn't dare to covet her (?OдO)b

[Captain: 666! Lucia's ability to pick up things so easily shows she's perfect for being a Blood Raven!]

[Qiong: I can see that now, all three of them possess unique skills.]

Trigger pulled the last item from the sack: a piece of gray cloth with a few curled hairs stuck to it.

"They even have the rope maker's underwear...!"

"Ahhh!" To avoid getting too ridiculous, Lucia let out a scream, successfully stopping the trigger from continuing. Then, as if realizing something, she calmly looked at the two people in front of her: "Wait a minute, a closet? A corner? You're not sheriffs, are you? ('?_?`)

Trigger scratched his head awkwardly, and the small light on his mask turned blue, a color that symbolized deep thought.

"This, this..."

Vivian and Trigger couldn't think of any other explanation, so they resorted to mimicking Lucia's previous excuse:

"This is what we picked up ヾ('▽｀;)ゝ" x2

[Zhe: The rest is fine, but the underwear is really too much! I finally managed to tame that pair of boxer shorts (〃＞＿＜;〃)]

[Dream Seeker: Pfft~, Lucia finally realized something was wrong]

[Danheng: Even a sheriff can't just enter someone else's house, can he?]

[Navia: Wait a minute, I think I just saw two burlap sacks behind Trigger and Vivian that look just like Lucia's! ('⊙ω⊙`)]

[Sambo: Looks like these two are here to buy some goods too]

[Amber: Based on how much they took this time, the video store will probably have very little left after a month.]

[Captain: That's amazing! I thought there was only one, but now I suspect we've stumbled upon Blood Raven's lair. *gloating emoji*]

Chapter 372: The Captain is Confirmed to be an Air Person

After the three people in the room finished their discussion, Trigger untied the ropes binding Lucia:

"A non-interference agreement has been signed. As long as the rope maker doesn't discover it, the spots are first-come, first-served. Everyone should rely on their own abilities and not reveal anyone else's location. Any objections?"

Vivian and Lucia said in unison, "No." x2

Meanwhile, inside Master Jop's ramen shop, Zhe, who was eating ramen, suddenly felt a chill down his spine and almost choked on his noodles:

"I have a bad feeling, hiccup... I feel like I'm being watched by countless eyes, but I can't see anyone."

[Empty: Goodness, how did the three of them reach a consensus?]

[Eileen: I'm thinking of reporting them for illegally forming a team]

Kiana: If three people are hiding in one room, what if A-Zhe finds out? (-_-)ゞ

Silver Wolf: Don't worry, he won't dare to find out.

[Ying: If the three heroes were to fight Lü Bu, Zhe would be exhausted and die, not to mention that there are more than just the three of them around the room.]

[Captain: Vivian under the bed, Hoshimi Miya on the roof beam, Trigger sniping across the room, Lucia on the air conditioner, plus Yao Jiayin and the others who come to drop by from time to time, the video store is getting more and more lively.]

Zhe: Sigh, it's all tears when I think about it.

System: "Friends, it's time to draw rewards! Let's chat again later."

[Zhe: Two dice with flames on all six sides... What a pity, I'm just one short of getting them every time]

[Trigger: Tetsuya's pants x1... They're still warm! I'll treasure them! /(//o/ω/o//)/]

[Zhe: There's really no need to do that!]
