Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

Special patrol teams are equipped with standard firearms. Although they do not have a large number of garrison units stationed permanently, this makes their operations more flexible and rapid than those of the garrison.

The team members were all in position, but the target, the phantom thief, was nowhere to be seen.

New recruit Tirena gripped her pistol nervously and said, "Captain, wasn't the Phantom Thief dead? How did he come back to life...?"

Xia Worei glanced at her and said softly, "The other teams have already said it's a different phantom thief. Unlike the phantom thief Mink from more than ten years ago, this one is very flamboyant."

Weren't the phantom thieves of the past more flamboyant?

"According to historical records, the Phantom Thief Mink would quietly steal the target item after issuing a warning letter and then disappear. Based on my personal deduction, the other party is just an ordinary person who dares not confront our powerful security forces head-on."

Xia Worei narrowed her eyes: "But this one is an exception."

If she only wanted to steal the treasure, she could have used more discreet methods instead of jumping onto the stage like someone who wanders onto a film set and causing a scene.

With her extensive experience, Xia Wore can be certain:

"She's very attention-seeking, so she definitely won't be back in her cat bed so soon..."

Tirena looked up and saw a white-clad girl speeding between the houses.

"So fast!? How is this speed possible?" Tirena exclaimed in surprise.

"As expected, she is the holder of the Eye of God. Use the fire net to block her path!"

Gunfire rang out.

Bullets flew in from all directions, and Luna thought: If it were the old me, I definitely wouldn't have been able to dodge these, but...

She stomped down hard.

The storm's power propelled her into the air beneath the bright moon in an instant, countless bullets crisscrossing and disappearing into the night, while the white-clad phantom thief remained unharmed.

Tirena blinked, and the first thought that popped into her mind was: So beautiful...

Coming to her senses, she hurriedly loaded the bullets.

No matter how beautiful she is, she's still a criminal; we have to catch her.

As Tirena was thinking this, she caught a glimpse of Chavore raising her long musket, aiming, and then pulling the trigger.

As if anticipating Luna's actions, the bullet approached Luna, who was rushing forward.

boom!

There was another gunshot.

However, it did not come from any member of the special patrol team.

The next second, a faint flash of light suddenly appeared in the night sky, as if it were produced by something colliding at high speed.

Tirena's eyes widened slightly as she realized that Luna was holding a small musket.

"The bullets collided?" a teammate murmured in shock.

Xia Worei: "......"

She remained silent, still holding the musket, her sharp gaze capturing the white figure under the moonlight.

Luna remained silent, responding to Xia Worei's intimidation with a calm gaze. A biting cold wind broke the silence, causing her hair and the hem of her clothes to sway slightly.

Chavorei would never forget this scene, even after countless years.

Because this is the beginning of everything.

5: You chase me, if you catch me...

Xia Worei. Luna murmured the name.

As an adventurer, I occasionally work with the police force to handle cases that require physical action, and that's when I sometimes encounter Xia Wore who is on a mission.

The two did have a relationship, but it was only a brief encounter.

Even so, seeing a familiar face pointing a gun at her, Luna couldn't help but sigh at how unpredictable life truly is.

But what does this have to do with her, the phantom thief Shiroko?

Being stared at like that by Xia Wore, Luna felt a surge of excitement.

Don't get me wrong, this excitement isn't in quotation marks.

She suddenly realized, "As expected, a phantom thief can't be without someone chasing her."

Whether it's detectives or police officers, the stories of phantom thieves continue because of their existence.

Luna wholeheartedly agreed, put away her pistol, and looked back.

Navia is still pursuing her.

Although her speed was considerably slower, the young lady of the Rose Society possessed astonishing stamina. However, she had no intention of simply waiting to be defeated.

Looking at Xia Worei, Luna moved her lips.

"Come and get me."

Xia Wore read her lips, and her brows furrowed even deeper.

That's a blatant provocation.

But once she catches the phantom thief, his smile will shift to hers.

Criminals are always like this: all smiles before going to jail, and crying their eyes out afterward.

Luna leaped and landed on the roof.

Xia Worei immediately gave the order: "Surround her!"

The special patrol team switched from defense to offense, rushing to various intersections to try to intercept Luna as she tried to escape, but their swords and guns all missed.

It's about time to end this.

She had planned to make a big splash with her first appearance, but she couldn't withstand the constant influx of police officers.

Know when to quit while you're ahead; that's the only way to survive in the long run.

"Now that the operation has gained enough notoriety and prestige, it's time to retreat..."

Luna muttered to herself.

However, before he could finish speaking, two figures appeared from both the front and back, rushing towards him from both sides.

Upon closer inspection, the one in front was Xia Worei, and the one behind was Navia.

Both of them possess the Eye of God, so among this group, they are the only ones most likely to capture her.

Navia immediately swung her axe at the attack.

As Luna leaped into the air to dodge, a bullet, fired from a blind spot, hurtled towards her with a piercing gunshot.

Although the Rose Society is a non-governmental organization, it previously enjoyed a considerable reputation.

After Navia took over the Rose Society, she also had dealings with the security forces of Fontaine and often cooperated with them.

Therefore, she and Xia Worei were acquaintances and had a certain understanding with each other.

However, the special patrol team is ultimately there to arrest criminals. In non-extreme circumstances, they will at most shoot the criminals' limbs to deprive them of their mobility before sending them for treatment.

After treatment comes trial and imprisonment – ​​a complete cycle.

Therefore, its firing trajectory is easy to predict.

"But this is still troublesome." Luna deflected the bullet with her sword, and it landed on the ground.

Navia, slightly out of breath, carrying the axe, said, "Yes, you've caused quite a bit of trouble. Now hand over the stolen Tears of the Maiden, and then obediently turn yourself in, and you might get a few years off."

This guy can run incredibly fast!

If she were to be kept at bay for a while longer, Navia would find herself too exhausted to fight.

Xia Wore had loaded the bullets at some point and was aiming the gun at Luna.

"Special patrol team here, do not move!"

Luna sighed, "To think I'd be facing Miss Xia Worei. Looks like I'll have to leave the stage as soon as I make my appearance. I understand, I give up."

She slowly raised her hands.

Navia nodded: "A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold. The sooner you realize your mistakes, the sooner you should correct them. You're so talented, why did you have to become a phantom thief? Are you perhaps an apprentice of the phantom thief Mink or something?"

As she spoke, she gave Xia Worei a meaningful look.

Xia Worei understood immediately.

Navia was trying to distract her with words, and then take the opportunity to deliver the final blow.

How could such a blatant and skilled thief obediently follow orders and surrender willingly?

There must be something fishy going on.

"Phantom Thief Mink? Please don't lump me in with that kind of lowlife."

Navia asked, puzzled, "Lack of class? Aren't you in the same industry?"

"Can't a competitor think the other party has no class?"

Navia was speechless for a moment; it seemed to make sense.

“I don’t steal everything, not even children’s birthday presents. I feel like I can’t hold back if he says he’s my colleague.”

Navia slammed her fist together: "That's true! It really is tasteless."

"Right?"

Luna smiled and said, "I would never do such a thing. Stealing everything is just a vulgar and ugly act of a thief."

Xia Worei said coldly, "Do you really think you have great taste?"

"Yes."

"I don't steal children's things, nor do I intend to, unless the other party is a child prodigal;"
