At the intersection of St. Teresa's Square, the night was quiet and the two gunshots did not break the heavy night.
Through the night mist, Xia De saw his opponent fall to the ground. He blew on the muzzle of the Ruger revolver in his hand and was about to fire another shot when he suddenly felt an extremely weak force trying to snatch the right to use the gun in his hand. Of course he would not let go, and the opponent obviously had no ability to snatch the gun from his hand.
Want to engage in a power confrontation
"Of course not, I'm just an ordinary person."
Thinking in his mind, Xia De lifted a corner of his coat, revealing another gun bag on his waist.
The power of the "Move Objects" spell was immediately transferred, and the gun bag containing the Spear of Kindness flew into the hands of the man opposite who was seriously injured and unconscious.
According to his own will and thoughts, he should have tried to get the other gun in Shade's hand again, or divert the direction of Shade's gun. However, due to his blurred consciousness, he could only act according to the instructions he received, so he pulled out Shade's second revolver, the Gun of Kindness, without hesitation, and pulled the trigger at Shade who was standing in the light of the gas street lamp and smiling.
The Silencing Spell muffled the muzzle sound, and the bullet flew past Shad's face and hit the lamp post on the side of him. After leaving a mark on the black lamp post, the bullet reflected back at a magical angle and hit Chogori Deus' head directly.
"oh oh... ... "
He made a strange sound in his throat, and then finally collapsed completely.
There was a cat's cry behind him, and "Dorothy" came out from behind holding Little Mia. But that was not Miss Writer, and they exchanged again without Shade knowing.
Leicia said with a pale face:
"He used your firearms, and after three lucky fails, was killed by a ricochet from his pistol."
The gun of kindness prevents murderers from harming themselves and prevents suicides from harming themselves. It has the characteristic of being "undetectable". So Captain Rades did not die even after firing eight shots, and neither he nor others noticed anything wrong. The characteristic of this gun is that accidents do not happen abruptly, but happen naturally.
Therefore, when the characteristics of the Spear of Kindness were triggered, Shade did not stop it, and the people who were playing the game did not hear "because of the characteristics of the relic", but the accident happened naturally according to the rules. No one would doubt the reason why Shade won the contact battle. At most, they would praise Yin Luna for her good luck.
"The story goes on, Jack the Thief has found what he wants to steal. Shad, you must return home as soon as possible."
Leicia told Shade about this and hugged Mia tightly, trying to get more warmth from the cat. The high frequency of exchange made their condition a little bad, but holding Mia, she seemed to be able to feel her mental strength recovering quickly. Now the blonde girl only felt a splitting headache. They had never exchanged the positions of souls so frequently outside of the "Red Butterfly Day".
"Why are you guys... Well, I've also received instructions to go home as soon as possible and escape from the murderer."
Xia De looked at her with some distress, pointed to his forehead, then rummaged in his pocket, took out a small bottle and threw it over:
"Although Holy Water No. 4 is not very effective in your situation, it might be effective. Don't save it for me, it's very cheap. Next, don't switch with Dorothy again. If the two people who can detect the location of Jack the Thief die, Jack the Thief will disappear from the story map that Miss Beatrice is looking at. She will never let me conduct the investigation, which will expose many things, so I have to handle the next things by myself."
With only one character left, Yin Luna could have given up and ended the dice story collection. Now Yin Luna's decision to not give up is in line with Xia De's thoughts. After all, without the power of this angel-level relic to affect reality, Xia De is not sure whether he can really catch the thief.
Leicia sipped the holy water, and the cat looked up at her throat. Shad bent down to pick up his pistol, ignoring the body, and they finally entered the Saint Teresa Square area.
Her Royal Highness was originally worried about seeing something even more terrifying, but the night in Saint Teresa's Square remained calm, and the gas lamps on one side of the square emitted a strange halo in the dark.
When they looked up, they saw Dr. Schneider and Father Augustus standing at the door of the Shade family. Leicia looked around the square with some concern, but did not see anything unusual, even the body of Ms. Charming had disappeared.
"Look, that was someone else's bad luck, and now it's gone. Dorothy, go and tell the doctor and the priest what has happened here. Don't come near me, but follow me into the house."
Shad spoke very quickly, and because Dr. Schneider and the other man were nearby, he called Lesia "Dorothy."
The blonde nodded, holding Shad's cat, walked quickly across the gas street lamps towards the doctor and priest who had already seen the two of them.
When Shad arrived at his door at a normal walking speed, the doctor and the priest had already roughly understood the key content. Since the dice story collection prohibits all information about the game from being passed on to people outside the game to prevent people trapped inside the relic from being discovered by people outside, the doctor and the priest only knew the characteristics of the relic and what Shad was doing related to "catching the thief Jack", but did not know what the storytellers were talking about.
Of course, it was even more impossible for Leicia to ask the doctor and the priest what had just happened here. This world itself was full of various unknown mysteries. If some things had nothing to do with oneself, then one didn't know. Excessive exploration would cause trouble instead.
"The detective's luck really isn't very good."
Dr. Schneider said to Father Augustus, and the three of them hurriedly retreated to a position far away from the entrance of No. 6 St. Teresa Square, and then watched Shad walk in normally, took out the key and opened the door.
After he entered, Resia took out the key and opened the door again. Father Augustus and Dr. Schneider did not comment on the fact that she had the key to the Shade family's door.
Xia De, who entered first, had already changed his shoes in the hallway, turned on the gas lights in the hallway and on the stairs, and then walked up to the second floor holding the handrail of the stairs.
Are you so sure that the thief is on the second floor
"There are only furniture on the first floor, and no 'items touched by the king'. I don't believe that Jack, a thief at the Sage Level (Level 2), has the ability to enter the hidden space in the basement. There are only Luvia's items on the third floor, and I have asked her to put away sensitive items. As for the attic, that's where Dorothy puts readers' letters. In addition, Room 2 on the second floor is empty, so the thief must have stolen from Room 1. We just opened the door downstairs, and it is impossible for it to have time to run from the second floor to other locations."
The sound of shoes on the wooden stairs was Shad's favorite sound when he returned home every day. But at this moment, the echoing sound was like the reckless sound of disturbing evil spirits in a horror story.
As he walked, he looked up the stairs:
"Since the story hasn't ended yet, it means that the thief is most likely still at home. The Dice Story Collection thinks I may be able to catch him. Can you sense the thief's location?"
No, it is currently an ordinary thief. Although the whispering element will not be completely eliminated, it is difficult to detect. You need to get close to it or force it to use more power.
"When you meet a strong opponent, you become stronger. This is really..."
When Xia De opened the door with the key just now, he found that although the door lock was intact, there were scratches on the keyhole. At this time, he went up the stairs to the second floor. Although he could not see any clear clues, his inspiration reminded Xia De that someone must have broken into his home.
The lights on the second floor were off, just as they had been when Dorothy had last left. Shade turned on the hallway light first, then turned on the gas in the living room, and immediately saw that something was missing:
"The antique knight's sword I used when I was awarded the medal is missing. So this is it."
The sword was originally hung on the wall of the living room by Xia De, to fully demonstrate his identity and professionalism when the client visited. Because he could see it every time he looked up at the door, it was easy to find that the sword was missing.
"Oh, I was robbed, the damn thief stole my knight's sword!"
Although he knew that the people who were performing the story could not understand every word he said, Shade still stood at the stairs and spoke in an exaggerated manner. There were no footsteps on the stairs behind him, but Shade knew that his companions were all there, and the Silencing Note Spell and their own magic were hiding their voices.
"All the windows are closed, and I didn't see any suspicious figures in Saint Teresa's Square just now. Could it be that the despicable thief is still in my house?"
He spoke loudly again, walked into the room, stood in the middle of the living room and looked around his home. Having lived here for half a year, Shade regarded every inch of land here as his own. To be honest, he was really annoyed by the thief's invasion. In addition, Jack the Thief had stolen from Dorothy before, so Shade would not let him go this time no matter what.
"Still can't find it?"
Yes, the other party is now almost equivalent to an ordinary person.
Blinking his eyes, the echo of blood could not find any fresh bloodstains. After all, he was just a thief, not a murderer. Then he used the echo of the past. It was a pity that Jack the Thief did not have the habit of talking to himself when stealing, and he did not say "Yes, I will hide in the closet" when hiding.
"There aren't many places in the house where a living person can be hidden. Based on my understanding of this place, it won't be difficult to find it."
As Xia De thought about it, he sat on the sofa at home, took out his notebook and started writing. This was the note he would give to Leixia and the other two later. This time, he was not alone.
