Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 198 Unusual Phantom Thief

Outside the banquet hall, as the sound of commotion came from the venue, a short figure wearing waiter's clothes was hurriedly walking out of the manor.

He knew that because of his theft, there must be a large-scale search for him in the venue at this moment, and the manor was quickly sealed. After all, what he stole was the bloody earl's belongings.

But for him, the Phantom Thief, not only did it not make him feel any tension or pressure, but it actually made him feel very excited.

As a self-proclaimed Robin Hood-style thief who robs the rich and gives to the poor, shouldn't he punish these nobles who do evil and bring justice to the people?

The bloody Earl killed so many people during his brutal suppression of Xinshak City. Why did he steal two things from her? Think of it as her repayment of the blood debt she owed to the people of Xinshake City!

But even though he was thinking this, the self-proclaimed Phantom Thief waiter still didn't just rush out.

He knew that the manor used for hosting banquets should be under martial law at this moment. If he ran out like this, it would be difficult to escape even if he had planned and prepared an evacuation route in advance.

So when he walked through a hidden corridor, he directly grabbed the clothes on his body, pulled hard, and pulled off the entire waiter's clothing, revealing a men's suit underneath.

If people saw this scene, it would seem a bit incredible. After all, it is still cold in winter. A men's suit that is in line with the current season and a layer of waiter clothes on top will look bloated no matter how you look at it. Even if the Phantom Thief has a good figure The same goes for being short.

And the waiter's clothes that he took off disappeared between his hands in a few movements, like a magic trick.

After a brief inspection, he saw that there were no obvious flaws on his body. The "Phantom Thief" wiped it on his face again. He put a beard on himself with just a few clicks of his fingers, and his skin color changed from dark to fair. It's like a new person.

Although his disguise technique can change his appearance to a certain extent, it is not to the extent that he can change his face.

This moment made him completely different from the slightly shorter waiter just now.

Then he pinched his cheekbones again to make them taller, and stretched his back. After a clicking sound, his height suddenly increased a lot, and he looked taller. Suddenly he looked slimmer.

Of course, it wouldn't be a big problem if he found a good target to imitate, but this time he was a little hasty in his preparations and had no time to arrange things more carefully, so he had to make do.

At the same time, a monocle was hung on his face, and even his messy hair suddenly became shiny. He looked like an upper-class person, instead of reminding people that he was just a waiter just now. .

In this way, after changing into a costume similar to that of the guests at the venue, the Phantom Thief quickly came to the door of the manor and shouted to the guards: "Oh no, the earl's things have been stolen! Lord Governor There is an order, seal this place quickly!”

But this would only allow him to evade a temporary search, but it would not allow him to escape safely. Once they started running through the guest list, they could easily screen him out.

The guards heard his shouts and rushed to meet him. After passing by again to confirm that the earl had lost something, the guards did not dare to neglect, and directly sounded the alarm and began to block the manor.

The Phantom Thief, while everyone was in chaos because of the sound of the alarm, quietly came to a corner of the wall that he had already explored, and then supported the walls on both sides of the corner with both hands, and began to support the wall. Climb up.

For the Phantom Thieves, it's just a matter of climbing the wall without using tools, which is not difficult at all. So in just a few breaths, the Phantom Thief climbed to the top of the wall, and then after adjusting his position and posture, he jumped onto the branch of a big tree outside the wall.

He had spotted this big tree before taking action. Although the thick branches were a little far away from the manor's wall, they were still within the range that he could jump.

Therefore, as long as he jumped into the tree, it meant that he could escape from the manor.

However, just when he was celebrating that he successfully completed a theft and was about to leave something as a souvenir to let those who were tricked by him know that it was the Phantom Thief who had carried out this great operation, a shot suddenly came from behind him. A throwing knife.

The Phantom Thief hurriedly dodged, and the flying knife almost missed his arm and just missed nailing it to the tree.

He hurriedly looked back and saw that the female guard who had rushed up to pull her away during the robbery had already caught up with her, and her hand was gleaming with cold light as she was about to throw a second flying knife.

The Phantom Thief didn't dare to neglect, so he turned over and got off the tree, and started running away.

In the process of escaping, he seemed to dislike that the suit could not allow his body to move better. He took off the suit again just like he took off the waiter's clothes, and also used his hands to make it disappear.

Now, he is wearing a set of tight-fitting black clothes that are very conducive to movement, allowing the Phantom Thief to easily jump onto the balconies and roofs of buildings next to the road.

The Phantom Thief hoped to get rid of the assassin's pursuit, but the enraged assassin had no intention of letting him go. He just jumped up to the roof and continued to chase the Phantom Thief.

The two of them started chasing each other on the roof. The thief ran away desperately, while the assassin continued to pursue, trying to shorten the distance between the two.

However, I don't know whether it's because the Phantom Thief is agile, or because he is more familiar with the terrain than the Assassin, or both. There is always a distance between the Assassin and the Phantom Thief, which prevents the Assassin from directly catching the Phantom Thief.

However, the distance between the two is constantly shortening with the pursuit, and the flying knives thrown by the assassin from time to time are gradually forcing the Phantom Thief in a certain direction.

The Phantom Thief was naturally aware of the assassin's intentions, but at this time he could only run for his life.

After all, he is just a Phantom Thief. Although he is also a transcendent, what he is good at is stealing things, not fighting with people. It is still the kind of person who wants to fight him at the first glance.

So the Phantom Thief could only pray that he wouldn't be caught.

However, things did not develop as the thief expected. As the distance between the two continued to grow, the assassin finally found an opportunity and stabbed the thief in the thigh with a flying knife. After causing him to stagger, he jumped from the roof. It rolled up and fell down.
