……
The main building
At this moment, Mei was running fast in the passage of the main building. For a person who had already infiltrated the Me Club, this level of defense was simply a child's play for Mei.
The patrolling gangsters were kicked unconscious by Mei without even being seen. Then Mei did a double jump onto the ceiling and ran upside down on it.
Mei carries a pair of shoes called Dancer's Shoes, which can be used as a stepping stone for any material underfoot. Therefore, she can not only walk on the ceiling, but also directly on the air, and can perform double jumps, triple jumps, and even multiple jumps. (What kind of power is this?)
Logically speaking, since it is a phantom thief tool, it has no special effect and cannot cause harm to people, and it cannot even knock out gang members. However, this is not a difficult task for [Mei] who controls the power of lightning. She can just use her own power of lightning to stun the enemy.
So, they watched Mei rushing towards the destination in an almost unrivaled manner, knocking down many gangsters along the way. Those gangsters didn't even have the chance to use their guns, and were easily dealt with by Mei.
"Bang!" The door was kicked open
"who!"
A man who looked very much like Hata Go stood up from the desk in the study, looked at the direction where the door was pushed open and asked loudly. Some bodyguards and gang members around him drew their guns. It seemed that he was the owner of this manor, Hata Go's brother, Hata Ichiro.
However, the first person to come in from the door was not a human figure, but a long sword with a light blue and black tone. The gang members and bodyguards were about to shoot, but at this time they heard an inexplicable voice:
[Flowers blooming in the wilderness]
Can you please tell me?
【Why do people always hurt and fight each other? 】
……
It was a very nice melody and song that resounded throughout the room. After hearing this music, the gangsters and bodyguards who were originally nervous and hostile suddenly felt that their murderous intent and nervousness were being soothed. They no longer had the slightest desire to fight and unconsciously put down their weapons.
"What a beautiful song... I don't feel like fighting at all..." a gangster muttered to himself.
"Hey, hey! What are you doing! Why put your weapons down! The enemies are right in front of us, shoot, shoot!" Seeing his own people put down their weapons inexplicably, although Ichiro Hata also felt that his enthusiasm was fading, the vague uneasy premonition in his heart made him shout firmly and order his subordinates to open fire.
"It's useless. Under the influence of the sword, they have no desire to fight." A voice came from outside the door. [Mei] slowly walked in from the gate. It turned out that the singing those people heard came from the sword in [Mei]'s hand.
Phantom Thief Item: The Singer's Sword. When used against an enemy, the song released can even move the enemy, completely calming the enemy's hostility and murderous intent. However, the release range is effective, and it can only be effective at a close distance or in a closed space.
[Mei] used this sword at the first opportunity to eliminate the hostility of the people in the room, allowing her to step in easily.
Chapter 89: Mecha Warriors
"So, Hata Ichiro, are you ready to follow in the footsteps of your brother Hata Go?" Mei pointed the sword at Hata Ichiro and said lightly.
"They are all a bunch of rubbish! Stop her!" Seeing that his subordinates had no desire to attack, Hata Ichiro could only curse, then turned around and pulled out a book from the bookshelf. Then the bookshelf slowly opened, revealing a tunnel with a chair on it. Hata Ichiro ran to the chair, sat on it, pushed the lever, and was quickly taken into the depths of the tunnel by the mechanism.
"As long as we get to that place! As long as we get to that place!! We can get rid of these damn guys!" Hata Ichiro obviously has extraordinary knowledge. When he saw the other party's strange weapon, he knew that the other party was also involved in the existence of "that world". To deal with such an existence, relying on those ordinary gangsters outside is useless! Only the products of the same "that world" can kill the other party!
That's right, that was the trump card that Ichiro Hata kept to deal with the Phantom Thieves. And now, he was going to the place where that trump card was placed.
Although the subordinates at the entrance of the passage had lost the desire to attack, they were still able to block the opponent from entering the tunnel. They lined up like goalkeepers to block Mei from moving forward.
But...how could such an obstruction stop Mei who could already jump continuously in the air? Mei stepped into the air, quickly passed over the heads of her subordinates, and rushed straight into the tunnel, chasing after Hata Ichiro.
As they were far away from the room, the influence of the singer's sword disappeared. The subordinates then reacted and quickly notified other gangsters and security personnel in the manor to enter the study in the main building and chase the enemy. They also immediately entered the tunnel.
……
On the other side, Wang Chen dodged the arrows and poison darts shot from the wall. Then when Wang Chen stepped on a pedal, it sunk in, obviously a pit trap, but fortunately Wang Chen reacted quickly and grabbed the edge of the ground in time, and flipped over with one hand.
Not far behind Wang Chen, Bronya was drinking a drink and walking forward leisurely on the safety floor that Wang Chen had just experimented with.
"Bronya, why don't you come and dismantle the trap? After all, you are the famous Silver Wolf. Dismantling this kind of trap should be a piece of cake for you." Wang Chen said as he once again dodged the flying battering ram with his waist bent.
"Huh? Didn't a certain famous Joker vow to pave a safe path for Bronya? It's only been a short time, and you can't hold on?" Bronya responded indifferently.
"Isn't this too time-consuming? We have to take away everything in the treasury before the other party reaches it." Wang Chen said.
"Don't worry, that arrogant guy may not live to see the treasure house... He could use any other weapon, but he had to have something to do with Honkai. An ordinary person who has no resistance to Honkai is not far from death if he touches that thing. He was reluctant to buy an Anti-Entropy Titan mecha. He is stingy and greedy. I can only say that he deserves it." Bronya said lightly.
As an undercover agent of the Cocolia forces, Bronya naturally knew what the so-called trump card of Hata Ichiro was. Duck eye thimble, identified as pure suicide.
"Emmmmmm, but I still hope it can be passed quickly... I already feel like the pop-up messages are all filled with that little girl Xiaoqi making fun of me." How come something that was supposed to be cool has become so embarrassing now?
Although Wang Chen faced these traps with ease, a trap appeared every time he stepped on the pedal. Such bad luck completely ruined the whole show. The crazy pop-up messages indicated that a certain white-haired guy was watching his fun.
"So, can't the stupid Captain Wang Chen just throw a stone to test the water? He has to step on them one by one and try. Control the strength to reach a level close to the pressure of a human stepping on them. Then all the traps will be tested." Bronya said speechlessly.
"That's right." Wang Chen stopped, then reached into the pocket hanging on his waist and took out 17 cards.
"Plane." Wang Chen threw out all the cards, and they hit the stone slabs one by one accurately. A large number of traps were triggered, and Wang Chen immediately confirmed a safe path.
It was so funny, all 17 cards hit each trap grid accurately one by one. It turned out that I had been staying with Fu Hua for too long these days, and the negative energy could not be washed away.
As for why Wang Chen had to stay with Fu Hua these days. It was because ever since he got points from the contact with Fu Hua at St. Freya Academy, no matter how close he was to Kiana, the cards he drew were not good. Now, only one gold card was drawn in 30 draws, and the rest were all the highest purple. A lot of blue cards were drawn by non-Africans, which almost made Wang Chen faint.
If this continues, Wang Chen wondered if he should have a negative distance contact with Kiana to draw a card. Hmm? Don't get me wrong, Wang Chen didn't mean to be timid, he just wanted to sacrifice himself and let a white-haired ball bite him hard. Isn't it also a negative distance contact to put your body into the mouth of a white-haired ball?
Of course, compared to trying negative distance contact, Wang Chen was more suspicious because the synchronization points he got from Fu Hua had Fu Hua's non-qi attributes. And these non-qi points also contaminated all the points in his inventory. So he simply gritted his teeth, drained his synchronization points, and then followed Fu Hua to get the wool every day, and get and consume Fu Hua's non-qi points as soon as possible.
Finally, the hard work paid off, and he finally got all of Fu Hua's points and used them up. Although he saw his own synchronization points return to zero, Wang Chen felt very relieved because he knew that a bright future was coming.
"Well, let's go. Sometimes being too unlucky is not a bad thing. It's quite useful to just do the elimination process in reverse." Wang Chen said, and continued to move forward, taking Bronya out of the trap passage.
……
"Ok?"
Mei, who was chasing after Hata Ichiro, found that the passage began to open up, and then came to a relatively spacious space. The flickering candlelight inside gave the space a few lights. Looking at this dim environment, Mei stopped her previous fast pace and walked slowly in this space.
"tower--"
As the voice sounded, a row of large lights appeared on the ceiling of this space, illuminating the entire room. Mei narrowed her eyes slightly, adjusting to the sudden strong light.
"Phantom Thief, you shouldn't have chased me... No, it should even be said that you shouldn't have set your sights on me! You have stepped into the trap I carefully set, and this will be your burial place!" At the end of the space, behind a piece of tempered glass, Hata Ichiro smiled grimly and used a loudspeaker to transmit his voice in this space.
"I don't care whether you are a Phantom Thief or a character from 'that world'! You must die today! Let me show you one of the most powerful organizations in 'that world' - Anti-Entropy, and its creations!" said Ichiro Hata cruelly.
"Come out! My mecha death warriors!" Hata Ichiro pressed the button, and two holes appeared on each side. From each hole walked out a death warrior with a ferocious face, roaring, and wearing blue mechanical armor.
"No wonder there is Honkai energy here... Heh... He dares to command the dead soldiers without any ability. He is already hopeless."
Even from a long distance, Mei could still see the purple lines extending from Hata Ichiro's neck. This guy didn't have enough resistance to the Honkai energy and had already been infected with the Honkai disease, and was not far from death.
Chapter 90: Are you not hurt?
"Finally...finally I can get rid of all those guys who want my money...hahaha...cough cough cough cough!! Damn it, why does my body hurt so much? It's hard to breathe! Uh - get rid of those guys quickly! Then go to the hospital for a check-up!"
Just as Hata Ichiro was about to laugh, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest and started coughing violently. Then his whole body felt painful and uncomfortable, as if his body was filled with metal. His mouth was full of bitter taste. In addition to the pain, Hata Ichiro had a bad premonition.
Maybe the things in "that world" are not that simple. When I bought these three mecha soldiers through channels for cheapness, the other party seemed to look at me with mocking eyes, as if looking at a clown. Could it be that there was some poisonous substance left on the soldier? Was I poisoned invisibly?
As for why he didn't buy the expensive Titan mecha... It's simple. First, this kind of mecha is too ostentatious and can't be placed at home. Second, the price is high, and there are a lot of maintenance and repair costs later. In short, as a person who is extremely greedy and stingy, Ichiro Hata would not buy such a high-cost and low-return thing.
If it wasn't for protecting his money from being stolen, even weapons like the mecha warriors, Hata Ichiro would not be willing to spend the money. To Hata Ichiro, money is far more important than his own life. In the notice issued by the Phantom Thieves, the evidence of corruption and tax evasion, money laundering, etc., these are not the focus of Hata Ichiro.
What Hata Ichiro cares about most is the word "thief" in his name. He hates it most when someone wants to steal his money! Stealing his money is more painful than killing him.
Looking out the window, the thief was jumping up and down, dodging the attacks of the assassins, and had not been eliminated yet. Hata Ichiro became more and more irritated, especially as the pain in his body became more and more severe, and he always felt that he could not hold on any longer.
"Is anyone there? If no one is there, I'll come in~"
Suddenly, Hata Ichiro heard a voice from the door behind him. Hata Ichiro was startled. The room behind him was clearly where he kept his countless treasures and money. How could someone else's voice come from there? Could it be!
A very bad premonition emerged in Ichiro Hata's heart. He quickly turned around, endured the pain, and limped towards the door of the room, wanting to open it and find out what was going on.
"boom!"
"what!!"
Just as he was about to touch the door, it was suddenly kicked open, knocking Ichiro Hata to the ground.
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I greeted you, but there was no sound for a long time, so I thought there was no one there, so I kicked the door open. Who would have thought that you would come and open the door without making a sound? This must be a misunderstanding, right?"
A teasing voice sounded from the door, and a man wearing tactical glasses and with no visible face appeared in Hata Ichiro's sight. It was obvious that this was the other member of the Phantom Thieves who had shouted upstairs that he was a Phantom Thief.
The man looked like he was concerned about her, with an expression that said, "Are you okay?" But the teasing tone coming out of his mouth seemed more like he was mocking her.
"The Phantom Thief has entered his own treasure room!!"
However, Hata Ichiro didn't care about the other party's ridicule. He only cared about one thing: the thief entered his treasure room. What did that mean? So Hata Ichiro didn't even want to waste time standing up. He rolled and crawled to the door. When he got close to the door, he saw a girl in the room opening a large sack and putting countless banknotes, jewelry, and collections into it. Her method was very rough.
"Don't touch my money!! My collection!!!" Ichiro Hata screamed heartbreakingly.
"Hey, Silver Wolf, didn't you hear what this gentleman said? Don't touch those things, open the bag."
The man turned around and hypocritically instructed the girl to put down the treasures and open the sack.
"it is good--"
Responding to the man with a perfunctory drawl, the girl opened the sack and held it high above her head. Then a stream of air poured into the pocket, and the pocket acted like a vacuum cleaner, sucking out all the gold coins, banknotes, and a large number of jewelry collections in the room at once.
“You!…I!! You…!”
Hata Ichiro outside the door stared at the scene in amazement. He stuttered and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
"Okay, thank you sir for your kind reminder. We will handle your inheritance properly. After all, we are helpful thieves." The man, Wang Chen, said with a smile.
"How is this possible! How could you appear in my treasure room! The mechanisms in my garden are hidden so deeply! It is also full of traps designed by the mechanism masters I specially invited! How could you possibly pass through there!!" Hata Ichiro roared.
"Oh, those, you mean? Hi, they are all trivial little gadgets, especially those traps. It's already 2013, why are we still using these antique traps with pressure pedals? We can just test them out by throwing stones to explore the way." Wang Chen said with a smile.
"Someone walked most of the pedal path by himself, and he still has the nerve to say it."
"Shut up, system."
"Swindlers! They are all liars! Those guys stole my money! I am so angry! And you, you guys! Give my things back to me!"
After saying that, Hata Ichiro was about to pounce on Wang Chen's neck like a hungry tiger. He had lost his mind and didn't even think about whether he could beat the man in front of him. However, just as he stood up and wanted to pounce on Wang Chen, his body tilted and he fell to the ground again.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop trying to scam me! Why are you falling on the spot in front of me? I won't compensate you even if you get hurt." Wang Chen quickly jumped away and said with a look of disgust.
"My legs...what's wrong with my legs...my body...it hurts. Cough cough cough...blood? Purple blood? And the cracks on my hands...what on earth is this?"
Ichiro Hata coughed twice, and this time, he coughed up purple blood, and at the same time he saw purple cracks appearing on his palms.
"Tsk tsk tsk, who told you to get a bargain? Why buy a Death Warrior? How can an ordinary person like you touch such a thing? They are constantly emitting strong Honkai energy... Just think of it as a deadly poison. Now you are already terminally ill and there is no cure."
After Wang Chen took a look at the other person's miserable appearance, he knew at a glance that the other person would not live long and could not be saved.
"You all lied to me... cough cough cough... bastard..." At this moment, Hata Ichiro was breathing out more than breathing in, and was dying.
"Don't worry, Mr. Hata, I will properly handle the inheritance you entrusted to us. Even if I have to distribute them all to ordinary people, I will not let them fall into the hands of scammers." Wang Chen said with a smile.
"Oh, by the way, remember to put your fingerprint on this inheritance transfer agreement. It doesn't matter if you don't agree. We will put your fingerprint on it after you die. I can't help it. Who made me a helpful thief?"
Wang Chen took out a piece of paper with the inheritance transfer agreement typed on it and handed it to Ichiro Hata to look at.
“You…you!!! Ugh!”
Hearing that the other party took away his finances and called it the inheritance he entrusted to him, and asked him to put his fingerprints on the inheritance agreement? And if he didn't agree, he would wait until he died to put his fingerprints on it? ? Hatada Ichiro had never seen such a shameless person! As a result, Hatada Ichiro, who was irritated again, didn't say anything before he couldn't get over his anger. He tilted his head and fell to the ground, without a breath.
Who would have thought that a ruthless person who was obsessed with money all his life and even stained his hands with blood for money would be angered to death like this. However, even if he was not angered to death, he was killed by Houkai because of his greed for cheapness and stinginess. In a sense, it is also a typical example of people dying for money. It is really an ironic way to die.
Chapter 91: Perfect Ending
"Wow, was he mad at me to death? Or did he die at the hands of Honkai?"
Wang Chen was stunned when he saw this scene. His original plan was to let this guy who made a lot of money listen to his heartbreaking words and be tortured by him before he died. But he didn't even try hard, how could he die like this?
"I don't know how the other person died, I only know that you, host, are really awesome. Host, your Phantom Thief group chat is now full of messages, everyone is praising you, especially your caring little white-haired dumpling, who has become your number one fan. Don't you plan to open the messages and reply to your fans' enthusiasm?"
The system spoke to Wang Chen in a teasing tone in his mind.
“No, no…” Wang Chen shook his head. He could already imagine what a chaotic scene it was in the group.
"Thorn-"
A flash of electricity appeared, and [Mei] appeared in front of Wang Chen.
"Everything solved?" Wang Chen asked.
"Well, after all, the targets of the mission are already dead, so there's no need to keep teasing these dead men and delaying time. It will take a little time to purify the Honkai energy here, after all, there are still a bunch of people rushing in from behind." Mei said.
"Then let's get rid of Hata Ichiro as well, lest he turns into... oh... a Houkai energy that only recognizes females and not males."
Wang Chen was just about to say don't let Hata Ichiro become a dead soldier, but who would have thought that the body of Hata Ichiro lying on the ground would continue to break purple lines, and a large amount of purple blood would flow out, and finally turned into a pool of purple blood. He didn't even qualify to become a dead soldier, and was completely vaporized. That's right, the collapse energy of Honkai Impact 3 only recognizes females, not males. Almost all males turned into ashes, except for a few with unusual talents.
"It's time to go, Captain." Mei covered the blood with the white cloth of the indictment and prepared to leave. However, Mei found that Wang Chen had been staring at the blood for a long time, and finally turned around and went back with Mei and Bronya, and walked into the secret passage leading to the garden from the treasure room.
"Captain, what are you thinking about? You've been watching for so long?" Mei asked.
