"Don't! Don't come over here! If you come over here again, I will shoot!" The last person retreated to the back door, keeping the best shooting distance with Penglai Temple Kyohei. As long as the other party dared to move, he would shoot. Penglai Temple Kyohei also took a deep breath and was ready. The other party was not a shooter who was used to shooting. There was no need to look at the other party's eyes and murderous intent. He only needed to stare at the other party's finger that was about to swing the trigger, dodge and then rush forward.
However, the stalemate between the two sides did not last long. Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound, and the door that the other party was leaning on was kicked open from the inside out. Kyohei Penglai Temple also rolled over and lay down as soon as the door was opened, avoiding the other party's stress reaction shooting caused by the sudden situation.
The Anti-Entropy team was knocked to the ground by the sudden opening of the door, and they were dizzy. The figure that appeared at the door was a girl with purple hair tied in twin ponytails, wearing strange clothes, with the emblem of the Fire Moth Phantom Thieves hanging on her arm, and wearing tactical goggles that covered half of her face.
"Hey, we escaped successfully. The filthy ones can't restrain the Apostles of Light!" The girl walked out and said loudly to herself, but soon she noticed the situation outside, where several members of Anti-Entropy fainted on the ground and the Houraiji Kyouhei who rolled on the ground and stared at her. (Note that most of the members of the Phantom Thieves wore voice changers.)
"Oh no!" The girl felt something was wrong and immediately turned around and ran out.
"Stop! Don't run!" Kyohei Penglaiji got up and was about to chase after her, but suddenly a strong wind blew up. Kyohei Penglaiji used his arms to block the strong airflow, while the girl spread her wings, jumped up with the airflow, flew into the sky, and escaped from Me Society.
"..." After watching the girl fly away, Houraiji Kyouhei had to give up the pursuit. He was more worried about Jiuxiao's safety than the Phantom Thieves. However...
"Why did my anxious mood suddenly calm down after seeing that thief?" Such a question suddenly popped up in his mind, but before Houlai Temple Kyouhei could think about it, a voice interrupted Houlai Temple Kyouhei's thoughts: "Hey, Kyouhei, what's going on here?"
Officer Yusuke arrived late and was very surprised to see a group of people lying on the ground. He hurriedly asked Kyohei Horaiji what had happened.
Kyohei Horaiji briefly explained what happened to Yusuke. After Yusuke roughly understood, he kicked one of them and cursed, "Damn, I'll take these guys to the police station later. How dare they use guns on law enforcement and judicial personnel? It's a pity that they got so close to the thief just now."
"Forget about that for now. I have to go in and check on Jiuxiao." Just as Kyohei Houraiji was about to go in, he was stopped by Yusuke, "Hey, you stupid father, I think you are losing your mind. It would be strange if you could find him by looking blindly. At least use your phone to contact Jiuxiao. Maybe Jiuxiao is safe and sound."
"...Yes, it seems that I was really anxious and lost my mind. I even forgot to try the most basic way of searching." Penglai Temple Kyohei immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called his daughter, but the call was not connected for a long time. Just when Penglai Temple Kyohei was becoming more and more anxious, the call was connected and a familiar voice came into his ears.
"Sorry, sorry, Dad. The bus was too noisy and I couldn't hear your phone ringing just now. Is there anything wrong?" The voice of Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple came from the phone, accompanied by noisy sounds and the sound of whistling wind.
"Jiuxiao? Shuttle bus? Have you left Me Club?" asked Kyohei Penglai Temple.
"Yes, after delivering the flowers, we went to the backstage to settle our wages, and now my friends and I are preparing to go to the Changkong City Library to study."
"Is that so... I'm glad you're okay." Kyouhei Houraiji frowned, then relaxed and said.
"What happened? Dad, did something happen at Me Company?"
"Well, you'll see it on the news later. Take good care of yourself first. Don't let your parents worry."
"Okay..." Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple responded.
Finally, after finishing the communication, Kyouhei Houraiji hung up the phone, and Yusuke asked beside him, "How is it? Jiuxiao should be okay, right?"
"She's fine. She had already left on the bus with her friends before the accident." said Kyohei Horaiji.
"Is that so? Then it was really a false alarm... But why do you still look unhappy? Did something happen?" Officer Yusuke looked at Kyohei Horaiji, who had been frowning since he hung up the phone, as if there was something he couldn't figure out.
"Nothing, it's just my personal matter, it doesn't affect me." Penglai Temple Kyouhei finally shook his head and said, "Since Jiuxiao is safe, let's wait here and wait for the special search team to come. Then we will go to the scene together to investigate the incident."
Chapter 149: Better to kill the wrong person than to let him go
"Aren't you going to go in and check the situation?"
"Let's not go in. Since one of the Phantom Thieves has already escaped, and she looked so happy when she came out, we can tell that the Phantom Thieves have achieved their goal. We won't be able to catch anyone from the Phantom Thieves if we go in again."
Penglai Temple Kyohei said slowly: "Wait for the special search team to come over. There will be something else to explain later."
"Okay... put on your pistol." Officer Yusuke handed the pistol to Kyouhei Horaiji. After Kyouhei Horaiji put it on, he would occasionally look in the direction where the purple-haired twin-tailed thief girl had just flown away. Familiar... a very familiar feeling lingered in Kyouhei Horaiji's heart. Kyouhei Horaiji had this feeling since the first time he saw the purple-haired thief girl in the photo, and now, after meeting this girl in person in reality, this feeling became even deeper.
Although he couldn't recognize her face and had never heard her voice, Kyouhei Houraiji felt that she looked like someone - his daughter, Kyouhei Houraiji. But Kyouhei Houraiji quickly stopped thinking like that. How could his well-behaved and sensible daughter be a phantom thief?
But when this thought came up, it was like a curse that kept lingering in Kyouhei Penglaiji's mind. During the previous phone call, Kyouhei Penglaiji even subconsciously wanted to interrogate his daughter. But after learning that his daughter was safe and had already left with her friends, Kyouhei Penglaiji temporarily dispelled his doubts.
"Maybe I'm really too tired and haven't seen my daughter for too long, so I mistook a girl of the same age with similar hair color as my daughter?" Kyohei Houlaiji couldn't help but think deep in his heart. This also made Kyohei Houlaiji feel more and more that he was not a competent father.
Today, just put off work and spend some time with your children and family. You just bought a gift and haven't given it away yet, right? Don't leave the gift alone on the table anymore. Let Jiuxiao open it by herself and hand it over to her precious daughter.
……
In the distance, the purple-haired girl with twin ponytails who had escaped was controlling the Wings of Wind while communicating with her through tactical glasses: "Thanks, Hacking Rabbit (Brownie), for helping me get through the call and switch to the channel on the tactical glasses."
"It's nothing. After all, the bond with family is very important. Let's gather at the target location. Everyone will retreat to that location. Captain Wang Chen also has the next step. Today is just a trial run. Tomorrow is the time to get serious. It will be a tough battle."
"Well! This savior has been ready for a long time!" Penglai Temple Jiuxiao said as he controlled the Wings of Wind to fly to the designated target location.
"I wonder what my father will do when he finds out the truth... Alas..." Although Penglai Temple Jiuxiao has not changed her mind, she will stand together with her companions. But the pressure her father brought her has never left, but Penglai Temple Jiuxiao has understood that she should face this challenge head-on.
Soon, Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple landed at his destination, and there were his familiar companions on the grass.
"Jiuxiao is here too. Except for the captain and Raiden Mei, everyone else should be here." At this moment, [Raiden Mei] has taken off the Hom puppet costume and said. Before, [Raiden Mei] used the identity of a staff member to set up smoke bombs at the venue. And Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, who played the role of a flower delivery extra, secretly approached the flag, tampered with it, and hid the smoke bomb under the flagpole.
"Captain Wang Chen sent me a message saying that he plans to take Mei away safely back to Raiden's house, and asked me to go over and cooperate with him to hide it from Cocolia's mother. Captain Wang Chen will probably be here in the evening." Bronya said in the communication channel.
"Ah! How could my brother-in-law sneak away! I want to escort Mei too!" The restless white-haired girl was about to return to Me Club, but was pulled back by her good sister. "Okay, Xiao Qi, just leave it to your brother-in-law. If you go over there, there will be too many targets and there will be a risk of being exposed." [Kiana] said while holding Kiana's hand.
"That's right, stupid Paramecium, don't come and make trouble. I'll log off first and see you later." After Bronya finished speaking, she went offline, apparently to prepare to meet up with Wang Chen.
"Don't run, little guy! Damn it, I'll remember the grudge for calling me an idiot. I'll make you pay for it later!" Kiana said angrily.
……
Anti-Entropy Base
Cocolia's face was terribly gloomy, and everyone present fell silent. No one dared to touch this bad luck. Just now, the Internet uploaded a video of the elites in the business world being scared by the Phantom Thieves and running away, and the location was exactly Me Company. Although the video was blocked immediately, it had already spread in places where it could not be seen.
Those wealthy businessmen and elites have become laughing stocks, which is undoubtedly more embarrassing than the Phantom Thieves personally stealing some secret treasure. And the location chosen by the Me Society is directly dancing on the line of Cocolia's anger. You have to know that Me Society is now the most direct money bag of Cocolia, which is much more reliable than relying on the investment of those wealthy businessmen and those anti-entropy radicals! After all, it is already their own thing.
The Phantom Thieves' actions were undoubtedly a slap in Cocolia's face, and they announced in front of her that they would steal things from her. How could Cocolia tolerate this?
What's more, Me Society and the puppet Yoshino Shinnosuke who she helped to take the position...but there is still a crucial secret that must not be exposed, which makes Cocolia completely determined to kill him.
"I've given you too much time... I've given you too many opportunities!" Cocolia said gloomily, "And now! Those bastards have set their sights on me! So what's next? Let them come to Anti-Entropy's base in broad daylight? Let them steal Titan and Anti-Entropy's most confidential information?!"
"boom"
Cocolia's punch left a dent on the table, and the other members were so frightened that they dared not move.
"You idiots, I'll give you one last chance. Kill these Zerglings! Didn't they announce their arrival at Me tomorrow? Put an end to their lives tomorrow! Make sure they don't see the sun next week! Otherwise... you won't see the sun next week!"
"Mobilize all the people in the base! Now! Immediately! Eliminate all suspicious elements that come to ME tomorrow! I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!" Cocolia issued the final death order, and for a moment, those senior officers left in a hurry in fear.
"Phantom Thieves... I'm going to let you know what happens if you anger me!" Cocolia said, clenching her fists tightly.
"Since mom hates the Phantom Thieves so much, how about letting me play with them?" A sharp and arrogant voice sounded. Cocolia looked towards the source of the voice and saw Xingmal who had just completed a mission.
Chapter 150: Xingmar's Participation
"Xing...how did you complete the mission over there?" After seeing Xingmal coming back, Cocolia's expression relaxed a lot, so she asked.
"Tsk, it's boring, jumping up and down like a rat in a ditch, disappearing as soon as it appears. It won't amount to anything." Xingmaer curled her lips, then smiled with her shark teeth as if she had thought of something interesting, and said:
"So, mom, just let me deal with those guys. Even the Titans can't take them down. They must be great new toys. Just leave them to me. Hehehe."
"...That's good. If we rely on them, those losers will probably end up making a big mistake. Although Yoshino is also a loser, he at least has important value. We must not allow him to lose it!" Cocolia walked up to Xingmar and said:
"Mom will leave this task to you. Help me get rid of these worries completely. Also help reduce the pressure on Bronya."
"Hmph, who cares about Bronya? She can't even do this... Hey, when I catch those thieves, I'll show off in front of Bronya. It's easy for me to catch a few petty thieves, isn't it?"
The thought of being able to surpass Bronya in this regard made Xingmaer even more motivated. She couldn't wait to fast forward to tomorrow and tear those guys who called themselves Phantom Thieves into pieces and explode one after another.
"Okay, Xing, this time just cooperate with Bronya and help mom deal with all these guys. The two of you should stop having conflicts."
"Tsk... I know." So Xingmaer left the meeting room impatiently.
Cocolia turned on the communication and contacted Bronya. When she saw Bronya's image, Cocolia asked quickly: "How is it, Bronya, what's the situation with the body now?"
"Reporting to Cocolia's mother, Raiden Mei is currently in a relatively stable condition and has returned home. She is now resting in her room." While saying this, Bronya also retrieved the footage in Raiden Mei's room and showed it to Cocolia.
"Relatively stable...? Didn't Yoshino complete what I asked him to do?" Cocolia asked in a deep voice. After all, the restart of Me Club this time was not only to make Cocolia no longer rely on the investment of those wealthy businessmen, but also to stabilize the war situation on her own. At the same time, it was also intended to further tear open the scars of Raiden Mei, making her fall into deeper despair, which would be beneficial to the law.
But the result is that the current situation is stable? Cocolia didn't do all this to make Raiden Mei healthy physically and mentally!
"According to previous test results, Mei Raiden's emotions were extremely unstable. However, after experiencing the Phantom Thieves incident just now, according to the feedback from her body's hormones, Mei Raiden's emotions have stabilized. I guess her mind is still full of the shock she felt when the Phantom Thieves appeared." Bronya explained.
"It's the Phantom Thieves again! They ruined my plan!" Cocolia was furious when she heard that it was because of the Phantom Thieves that the plan to turn Mei Raiden into despair failed. However, she remembered that Xingma was ready to take action, so she said to Bronya:
"I already know the situation, don't worry, Bronya. This time, I'll let Xingye join the battle, and let her cooperate with you, Bronya, to capture all the members of the Phantom Thieves."
"What? Xing is going to join too?" Bronya asked with a little surprise.
"Why, is there something wrong with Xing?"
"No, Bronya doesn't doubt An's ability. It's just that Bronya is afraid of An's personality, and she's afraid that when the time comes, An will get too excited and Bronya won't be able to stop her or command her, which might lead to mistakes. After all, Yoshino Shinnosuke is a very useful chess piece in my mother's hands, and this operation cannot afford any mistakes." Bronya explained.
"Well... Mom knows that you, Bronya, have always had good insights and are a smart child. But I am really disappointed with these guys from Anti-Entropy. I am really worried about handing this mission over to them. Those Phantom Thieves are indeed very capable and can even fool Titans. It seems that I really underestimated them. Therefore, this time we must have a tough guy who can hold the situation in check. I also know Xing's personality, but this operation will not only not cause any problems, but may also achieve unexpected results."
Cocolia analyzed the current situation calmly for a rare moment. For a moment, Bronya had no way to continue to dissuade her, so she could only accept Cocolia's decision to let Xing participate in this operation.
"Bronya knows. Bronya will cooperate with Xing to take down the Phantom Thieves." Bronya said in a deep voice.
"Very good, you sisters are united and you can achieve great things. Mom believes that you will bring back the victory. Go, Bronya, go with An and bring me the head of the Phantom Thieves!" Cocolia said.
……
"You also heard the conversation. What do you say, Captain Wang Chen?" After Bronya closed the communication, she looked at Wang Chen who was changing out of his Phantom Thief costume and asked.
"If enemies come, we will stop them; if floods come, we will block them with earth. It's just an extra Xing, it's not a problem." Wang Chen said, "Don't forget, your sister was previously under the control of my Feihong."
"That's true...but do we need to reveal this strength now?" Bronya asked doubtfully.
"We can launch a proper counterattack now. Didn't your mother Cocolia say that just now? She admitted that she underestimated us." Wang Chen said with a smile, "Since she has valued our strength and has not linked us to destiny, we can use our power further and no longer be so restrained. At least the power of the Eye of God can be used without restraint."
"I understand... Bronya knows what to do. Bronya will also take action this time and help you secretly." Bronya said.
"Oh? Bronya, are you ready to take action yourself this time? Then I have to prepare a Phantom Thief costume for you, Bronya." Wang Chen said with a smile.
"Compared to all this... the work here is almost done, Captain Wang Chen, let's take Sister Mei back quickly." Bronya said.
"Okay, it looks like there should be no problem with ME Company. Let's go back...there will be a tough battle tomorrow." Wang Chen turned around and walked towards Raiden Mei's home. Bronya also temporarily blocked the surveillance system in the house to cover for Wang Chen.
"System, check my current synchronization points."
"Ding - System prompt, today's daily commission has been completed, and 100 points have been obtained. The current synchronization points are: 7050 + 2000 pending points (Ji Zi) + 3000 pending points (Walter)"
"System, the clothing items have been put into the rare item pool, right?"
"That's right. After all, the host had made a request before. Now the probabilities are specialized. If you want to draw something, just go to the corresponding pool and draw it."
"Okay, let's try this 1600 pool." Wang Chen said, pointing at the strange item pool.
Chapter 151 Raiden Mei's Cry
"Aren't you going to look for Kiana-chan this time?"
"No need. It's just a draw for a costume. It's fine if you get it, but forget it if you don't. I mainly want to experience what's really in your 1600 so that I can decide whether to draw it in the future." Wang Chen didn't want to use Kiana's luck on such a useless thing.
"Draw a card!"
"Ding - two purple and eight blue treasure chests, card drawing completed."
"Damn, if you don't touch Kiana, you really can't get any good stuff from this treasure chest!" Wang Chen was numb when he looked at the two purple treasure chests. The blue one still contained some supplies, but when he opened the purple treasure chest, Wang Chen was unexpectedly satisfied. He found a piece of clothing and a broken ice god's eye. He finally got everything he wanted to give to Bronya.
I really don't know whether to say this is lucky or unlucky. If you say it is unlucky, I did draw everything I wanted. If you say it is lucky, I got two purple and eight blue cards. What kind of unlucky card drawing is this?
After taking a look at the clothes, it was the skin of the Snow Sniper Armor - Dusk Witch, with a Halloween-like style and pumpkin yellow as the main color, which was quite in line with the style of the Phantom Thief. Coupled with the ice-type God's Eye, Bronya could indirectly possess the Snow Sniper's ability to freeze the entire map.
Afterwards, Wang Chen came to Raiden Mei's room and saw that she was still sitting on the bed, so he said, "Okay, Mei, it's over, we can go home."
"Home? Um...home." Mei Lei Dian was slightly stunned, and then understood what Wang Chen meant. But Mei Lei Dian returned to her own room, which she had been so familiar with for more than 10 years, and now she felt a little strange and a little melancholy.
"What's wrong? Are you worried about something?" Wang Chen asked, sitting closer to the bed.
"Well... I just feel that even though only a month has passed, this place has already become unfamiliar. I want to go back to another place... This is obviously Mei's home." Raiden Mei looked around the layout of the room, and the girl's eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of sadness.
"Mei has suffered today... I know that Mei has been enduring those words. No matter whether it is revenge or compensation, it cannot vent the bitterness in your heart. So, don't be patient anymore. If you want to act like a spoiled child, just act like a spoiled child with your friends. If you want to vent, we are willing to listen. Mei." Wang Chen held Mei Lei's shoulders and comforted the girl.
"Mr. Wang Chen... Sword Saint Houm, can I still do it like before? It will only take a while." The emotions in Mei's eyes could no longer be suppressed. Although Wang Chen didn't know what Mei meant by doing it like before, he could only nod here.
And the next second, Raiden Mei threw herself on Wang Chen's chest, hugged Wang Chen, and started crying.
“Wu… Wu!! I miss my dad so much… Sword Saint Houm… I want to go back to the time when my dad was still around… Even if he’s strict with me… Even if it’s hard… I don’t want to hear those people scolding my father! I hate those people accusing me without any reason! I didn’t do anything wrong! I didn’t do anything… Wuuuu! Sword Saint Houm…”
“Mei is really scared of Herrscher and Honkai… Homu Swordmaster… Woohoo… But in order to hold on, in order not to disappoint the friends I have made with great difficulty, Mei must keep holding on… Keep gritting her teeth and holding on… Even though I might have turned into a monster, everyone is still so nice to me… so nice. Everyone has always taken care of Mei’s feelings… Mei is really happy… But Mei is also afraid! Mei is afraid of causing trouble to everyone, and even more afraid of disappointing everyone!”
"I envy Kiana so much... She can play and fight with the Sword Saint of Houmu without restraint, she can make mistakes, be punished, and quarrel with others happily. But Mei can't do that... and she doesn't dare to do it! Everyone is taking care of Mei's feelings, and Mei doesn't want to disappoint everyone... but Mei doesn't want to be like this. Mei wants to be like Kiana... but that's not possible... because I may become a Herrscher or a monster at any time because of an emotional outburst! Then I will hurt everyone and lose everyone again!"
“Mei, no! I must not do this! Mei doesn’t want to stay alone in this room anymore! Wuuuuu…Hum Sword Saint…wuuuuu…”
The girl cried very loudly. The girl who was usually strong and gentle was now crying so sadly and painfully. Until the moment when the girl spoke out her true feelings, Wang Chen realized that his and others' selfless kindness to Meiyi had actually become a psychological burden for Meiyi.
However, it is not too late... The girl has spoken her heart out, which also means that the gap between them has been further eliminated. The premise of understanding is communication and showing sincerity. Wang Chen knows how to treat Meiyi in the future, and he should not always take special care of Meiyi's feelings. What Meiyi hopes for more is equal communication, with joy and sadness. Cry when you want to cry, laugh when you want to laugh, get angry when you want to get angry... Don't keep maintaining the image of a gentle and good child.
Perhaps this is the truest Mei, longing to have everything she had lost again. But after having it again, she trembles, fearing to lose it all again. Mei returns to this lonely room, recalling her previous experiences, and finally because of her own words, she becomes the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Wang Chen patted Mei's back, allowing her to talk freely. At the same time, he used the power of the stigma to prevent the will of collapse from taking advantage of the opportunity.
