Chapter 199 Recovering lost items

Claudia saw the thief who had been stabbed roll off the roof, she immediately chased after him, and then jumped off the roof.

But the thief seemed to dissolve in water. Even though Claudia was already very fast, she still could not find the thief downstairs.

However, Claudia did not feel disappointed or angry because of this. She moved her nose a little and soon smelled a special smell of blood, so she followed the smell of blood and continued chasing into the alley aside. passed.

At this time, the escaping Phantom Thief was trying to disguise himself again to avoid the assassin's pursuit. However, he was injured after falling off the roof and no longer had the same agility as before. He could only rely on his familiarity with the terrain to evade.

However, the assassin follows him around like a ghost in hanging boots. No matter what form the Phantom Thief transforms into or where he hides, the assassin can accurately find him and continue to pursue him.

This made the Phantom Thief notice something abnormal about himself while he was exhausted from running for his life.

His ability allows him to completely erase his own smell every time he changes clothes. This is to prevent the clothes from getting any undesirable smell, or from being marked with a scent mark for tracking. It is also used by someone. A way to get out sometimes.

But the Phantom Thief noticed that the previous chase between him and the assassin had not tainted anything on him, and after changing so many costumes, even if there was something tainted on him, it should be washed away.

But the assassin was able to find him accurately under various circumstances, which made the Phantom Thief suspect that he had been marked on his body in some special way.

Naturally, he quickly noticed the wound on his body that was hit by the flying knife, and smelled the smell of blood from his wound carefully. The Phantom Thief soon discovered the clue, and there was a smell in his blood that was so light that he could almost smell it. It was a strange but very unique smell. Even if he hid in the trash can, he could not cover it up with the stench.

So the Phantom Thief had no choice but to bump into Purficott on purpose, and at that moment activated his ability to steal the most valuable thing from her.

There is no doubt that this is the assassin's scent mark.

Although the Phantom Thief can disguise himself as another identity, there are almost no female guests among the guests present. If the male guests get too close to the young earl, it will undoubtedly be too conspicuous. Even the most distinguished governor present and Purvey Kurt kept at least one meter away.

The only supernatural thief's ability, other than his unscientific change of clothes, is his ability to transfer things into his pockets through his clothes when stealing.

This made the Phantom Thief feel troubled, and he felt like he had capsized in the gutter today.

After all, things can be stolen just by passing by. How can this make the owner think that his things have been stolen?

Today, the Phantom Thief can actually steal Perfectcott's things in this way, but as a waiter, he has no reason to pass by a count.

But he had no good solution at this time. Although he was also an extraordinary person, the main abilities of the Phantom Thief were focused on body control, disguise, and other abilities related to theft, and these were not considered extraordinary abilities.

This trick allows him to directly take things away without touching the things he wants to steal, without the other party noticing.

However, even so, he was still noticed. After all, he was just a waiter, and it was too conspicuous to bump into the earl.

However, the Phantom Thief felt that with his ability to change identities, he could make the short waiter disappear without a trace, so he did not pay attention to this. However, he did not expect that this would become his biggest flaw, directly attracting the female assassin. of pursuit.

This was also the drawback of the impromptu decision to steal the Bloody Earl. If it had been in the past, the Phantom Thief would have made a more thorough plan, instead of like now, the whole theft process seemed to be improvised, with blood all over the place. Although it was indeed a spur-of-the-moment idea.

Putting these distracting thoughts out of his mind, he was almost caught up by an assassin again and had to grit his teeth and take a risk.

Claudia tracked the thief, always hanging behind him, moving her nose from time to time to distinguish the smell in the air.

This is a poison specially prepared by Claudia. It is not fatal, but it will cause the poisoned person's blood to produce a special smell after being poisoned, which will last for three days before dissipating.

This smell is very light, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to smell it. Even if the smell is slightly more complex, people will ignore this special smell.

But for female assassins who have undergone special training and whose sense of smell has been specially enhanced, this smell is as conspicuous as a beacon in the dark night.

It is precisely because of this ability that Claudia makes almost no mistakes in tracking. As long as the opponent is hit by her poisoned flying knife, he will be marked. At this time, she only needs to follow patiently. Find each other, very useful when you need to capture them alive.

As for killing him, Claudia would use another kind of poison that can seal the throat.

This time Purficott said "catch the thief" instead of "kill the thief", and Claudia naturally assumed that this was something that needed to be caught alive.

So even though she had every chance to kill the thief, she didn't kill him. She just kept chasing, trying to capture this slippery thief alive.

However, when the Phantom Thief was once again lost in sight and she chased after him through the scent mark, Claudia found that the scent had stopped on a carriage.

She directly put her hidden sword on the coachman's neck and stopped the carriage. She called the police on the roadside to interrogate the coachman, while she herself checked the three floors inside and outside the carriage, trying to find out what had disappeared. The Phantom Thief.

However, except for the Midas Philosopher's Rod and the Flying Stone that were placed on the carriage seat by the Phantom Thief, there was no trace of the Phantom Thief in the carriage, not even outside the carriage or under the carriage.

This made Claudia very confused, but now that the lost item had been found, at least she didn't get nothing, and she could go back to report to Purficott.

So after Claudia put away the two things, she did not stay any longer. Instead, she asked the police and the coachman to get on the carriage and return to the manor. While returning to Perficott, she also hoped that she could Clues were found on this carriage.

However, when the carriage drove away from the place, Claudia did not notice that the sewer manhole cover on the ground moved.
