It was just a tube-shaped building on the edge of the city center, and it looked like it had been in disrepair for a long time. On the roof was a pink billboard advertising some nearby sex shop.

"Found it~"

With a joyful "bang" from her mouth, the Phantom Thief Girl leaped down, and her white wings streaked across the night sky like a meteor.

……

The distance from Tsutenkaku to the tube-shaped building is not long. With the buff that flying should be faster than running, Kuroba Chiko reached the top of the tube-shaped building in less than two minutes.

This should have been an action that no one knew about, but the fact was that when she landed, there was already someone on the rooftop sitting on a white plastic chair that was bought from some roadside barbecue stall, waiting for her with his back to her, and he seemed to be holding something in his arms.

A pure London accent mingled with the evening breeze blowing in my face.

"If you want it, then you have to take it."

Chapter 131 The Phantom Thief Girl is Sweating

This is what it means to hear the voice before seeing the person.

"Are you cosplaying some kind of tile-throwing man?"

Folding the wide hang glider behind her, the girl stepped on the top of the billboard on the edge of the roof of the tube building, tapped her toes three or two times, and jumped into the rooftop.

This is a truly amazing scene.

When almost the entire Osaka Castle was plunged into darkness, this inconspicuous rooftop was still surrounded by colorful lights, like the only bizarre stage in the center of the world.

Hearing the light footsteps coming from behind her, Serabelle turned her head slightly and then raised her eyebrows.

"It's so hot, isn't it hot to wear so many clothes even if you go out at night?"

"...kind of."

After a little thought, she felt that there was no need to hide it, so she readily admitted the fact that she was sweating profusely under her gorgeous clothes.

In fact, it is easy to imagine that looking at her outfit, not to mention the suit, there is also a huge cloak dragging behind her like a blanket, plus the miscellaneous props on her body, and the two super thick biological self-contained heat-generating hot packs tied to her chest with a chest wrap, it would be a miracle if she wasn't hot.

Serabelle raised her hand: "Then take it off."

"..."

Kuroba Chiko did not take action immediately.

How could she take off her clothes just because someone told her to? She is not so defenseless. Theoretically, the two sides can be considered enemies based on their positions.

Taking off equipment in front of the enemy... How many lives do you have? Are you so arrogant?

"So you cracked my code?" Hei Yu Qianzi asked tentatively.

"No."

Serabel shrugged with her back turned.

"The first of the four codes was deciphered by the police. I didn't understand the second. I didn't even think about the third. Anyone who can understand Japanese can understand the meaning of the fourth."

"Then you didn't understand it at all!" The Phantom Thief Girl complained loudly.

“There’s no need to understand it.”

As Serabelle spoke, he stretched out his right hand from the side of his body and shook it. From the flashing neon lights in front of him, it could be vaguely seen that he was holding a rectangular gift box.

"The thing is in my hand. If you come to get it, you will always meet me, just like now."

"Did you prepare the generator on purpose?"

"No, actually I didn't do that."

"Ok?"

Just as a question mark appeared in Kuroba Chiko's head, Serabell suddenly stomped on the rooftop under her feet.

"It was Inspector Nakamori and his team. It was their idea to hide the Egg of Memory in such a strange place. They had a fake egg in their hands and went to such an inconspicuous place. They didn't even tell President Suzuki about the location."

"So what you have in your hand is a fake egg of memory?"

"it is true."

"Ah? So you just said..."

"I just said that the ones that Inspector Nakamori and his men had were fake, but mine is indeed real."

Serabelle opened the gift box and took out the Egg of Memories. She tapped one of the holes on the egg that looked like it was inlaid with a gem with her fingernail.

"Did you hear that? It's made of glass."

"Glass..." The Phantom Thief Girl was stunned. "When the 51st Egg of Memory was made, it was the end of the Romanov Dynasty. At that time, the Romanov Dynasty was in a financial crisis!"

"That's it."

Serabelle put the egg back.

"Inspector Nakamori and his men are now on the top floor of this building, in the lighted room. They are accompanied by two police officers guarding his fake memory egg. They don't know I'm here, and they probably don't know you're here. So, should we let them go, or should you go and give them some strength first and then come back to continue the conversation?"

"Well……"

Kuroba Chiko thought for a moment, made a "give me a minute" gesture, then turned and walked towards the rooftop gate.

Half a minute later, Serabel heard the sound of breathing coming from downstairs, followed by the sound of three people throwing themselves on the street and falling to the ground.

Then, more than ten seconds later, the rooftop door reopened, and a thief girl wearing a gas mask and holding a gift box exactly the same as the one in Serabelle's hand walked out, making a scissors hand gesture.

"Sprinkle some water~"

"Pfft."

Serabelle chuckled, stood up, turned the plastic chair around, and sat back down.

"So now you know why I have to wait for you here. I firmly believe that with the intelligence of Inspector Nakamori and his men, I will be able to wait for you here."

"You better actually be praising them for their intelligence."

Kuroba Chiko paused here and looked at Serabelle sitting on the plastic chair for a moment.

"It was fine before when your back was turned to me, but now you really look like an old man enjoying the cool in the park..."

"But it's really comfortable to sit on. Do you want to try it?" Serabel patted the armrest.

Hearing this, the Phantom Thief Girl thought for 0.1 second.

"want."

"Give."

If anyone dares to ask for it, I will give it to him. Serabelle really left the chair and went to the rooftop and sat down on a raised platform less than three meters away from the chair.

Kuroba Chiko came to the chair, thought for a moment, and took off the cloak behind him. Then he took off his suit jacket and put it on the back of the chair. Then he sat down comfortably and fanned himself with his hands.

"Phew~ This is much more comfortable."

"Yeah, wearing so many clothes in such hot weather, the smell of sweat is coming towards me." Serabel said deliberately.

As expected, the Phantom Thief Girl glared at him as soon as he finished speaking.

"A beautiful girl smells good even when she sweats!"

"If you say so, then it is." Serabelle pointed at her chest. "Why don't you take off the chest wrap? I'm afraid you'll get a heat rash if you keep it tied up in this weather."

"This... let's forget it."

Kuroba Chiko was a little tempted, but after thinking about it, she gave up and pouted.

"It's easy to take it off, but it's a bit troublesome to put it on. Every time before I go out, I have to fiddle with it in front of the mirror for a long time. And if I don't tie the chest wrap, I can't button my suit."

Fuck, it’s too big to buckle, but it’s okay…

Seeing that Serabelle was silent for a moment, the Phantom Thief Girl glanced dishonestly at the gift box that Serabelle had placed next to the chair.

"So, you're so confident and bold to place the Egg of Memory so close to me. Aren't you afraid that I'll take it and run away?"

"Well, but what do you want this for?"

Serabelle spread her hands.

"I remember you said you stole gems everywhere in order to find the gem that would make you immortal. As for this egg, I just showed it to you. It's inlaid with glass. There is a piece of gold inside, but gold doesn't go well with gems. If you eat it, you will definitely die."

"...Okay, I admit that you have taken advantage of me."

With a slight twitch of the corner of his mouth, Hei Yu Qianzi said in a disappointed tone.

"To be honest, I had no intention of coming this time... By the way, have you heard of a man named Scorbing?"

"What kind of a turn of events is this?"

Chapter 132: Detectives and Phantom Thieves Are Not Fighting

"It's not a sudden change, it's a very serious question!"

On the rooftop, the Phantom Thief Girl reiterated in a very serious tone.

"So have you ever heard of the name Scoobing that I mentioned?"

"No."

Serabelle shook her head honestly.

As for the English translation, he knew that scorpion means scorpion, but if he asked whether he could immediately think of someone when he heard this nickname, he really couldn't remember.

After all, it’s not a system whose brain is connected to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"How should I put it? Scoobing is... well, let's just call him a human being."

The Phantom Thief Girl showed a rare look of difficulty on her face.

"This guy is a habitual criminal who specializes in plundering the Romanov dynasty's treasures all over the world. His methods of committing crimes are quite cruel. He will do anything to kill anyone. He can be said to be an extremely dangerous guy. This time, he is targeting this egg of memories."

"Oh haha~"

Serabelle scratched her forehead.

But he was immediately glared at by the tile-throwing girl sitting on the white plastic chair.

"Oh my god, you still don't understand what I said, the other party is a killer, a killer! Do you know what a killer is? It's the kind that can shoot people with a gun!"

"I know I know~"

Serabelle said a few perfunctory words, then her tone suddenly changed and she changed the subject.

"So why did you involve yourself in this matter? Logically speaking, this matter should have nothing to do with you, right?"

This……

Kuroba Chiko hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately.

Just as the former said, even if the Egg of Memory was really targeted by the so-called Scorch Soldier, it should have nothing to do with her, the second-generation Ji De, and she had no reason to get involved.

She is the Phantom Thief Ji De, not the Chivalrous Thief Ji De.

"If I said it was to repay a favor, would you believe me?"

"Favor?"

"Well, remember the previous incident? It was about the Dark Star incident. How should I put it... I messed up the 60th anniversary celebration of the Suzuki Group, so I thought I'd use it as a favor. After all, if I send out the notice in my name, the security will be more complete, and even if Skoubing wants to do it, it won't be that easy."

The Phantom Thief Girl crossed her legs and leaned forward slightly, supporting her chin.

"Secondly, I feel that President Suzuki is a pretty good person. It would be a shame if he was kidnapped or even killed by the Scorch soldiers. It would be safer if I stole it and returned it afterwards. After all, it's all about repaying a favor."

"I didn't realize you were so worldly-wise..." said Serabelle.

"This is the accomplishment of a lady from a noble family."

"A lady from a wealthy family dressed in men's clothes and hung a hang glider on her body, ran out in the middle of the night, knocked out the police, and stole something?"

"Then this is not a last resort!"

The two of them quarreled for a few more words.

"By the way, what happened to the matter you asked me about before?"

"Nothing much. I went to New York and then I almost died."
