Chapter 284: Phantom Thief Mask(1/2)
"Monster thief? Isn't this guy locked up on the fifth floor?" Mu You was confused.
Among the information he eavesdropped on Beizu Island yesterday, there was one about the Phantom Thief Valen Justin.
It was said that this man had just been caught. It seemed that he was captured by some bounty hunter and was thrown into the bottom of the underwater prison.
How can a person who has been imprisoned forever escape and steal things?
Or maybe, like him, this person also escaped from prison and can now move freely in the prison...
"Appointment letter..."
Mu You frowned and looked at the prompt in the text, clicked on the text of 'Hungry Gem', and tried to take the gem out of the game.
As a result, a prompt pops up: [This item is locked and cannot be transferred to another plane.]
Then he tried storing it in his backpack, space ring, and binding the gem.
The results all prompt: [This item is locked and cannot be operated.]
“It’s a bit awesome!”
Mu You also had to praise him.
This person's ability is very interesting. The items he is interested in will have many restrictions. They cannot be hidden or transferred, and their location will be known to the other party at any time. Even if they want to use the teleportation array to take them to other places, they will not be able to do so.
It can be said that the difficulty of stealing things locked by the notice letter will be greatly reduced! Of course, since the notice letter has been issued, that is, the other party will not show up in advance before the scheduled theft time, so this thing is safe for the time being.<
/p>
No matter what, Mu You still doesn’t know what level and strength this monster thief is, so let’s make some defensive preparations first.
Mu You controlled the character to leave the cell, found a relatively remote passage on the fourth floor, and began to lay traps on the ground.
The prison time should be around 5:20 now, and the comfort period on the fourth floor will end at 7:00.
This person deliberately set the time for the theft to be one hour later. If you include the half-hour theft time, it would be 6:50, and there would still be ten minutes left to escape, just enough to complete the entire theft operation within the comfort period.<
/p>
But this also means that this monster thief cannot ignore the extremely cold and hot environment on the fourth floor, and he only dares to go out for activities when he is comfortable.
This is Mu You's advantage. His vampire skin can survive on the fourth level. If it is confirmed that he cannot defeat the opponent later, then he will find a way to delay the time until after seven o'clock, and the fourth level will be
Become his home court.
In fact, Muyou has a more comfortable way, which is to go directly to the third floor.
The poisonous gas on the third level is the most powerful. It is covered 24 hours a day and is his home court all day long.
But Mu You thought for a while and still didn't do it, mainly because he was afraid that the monster thief would not dare to show up after discovering that he could survive on the third level.
The other party was interested in his gems, but Mu You also had some thoughts on the Kaitou's skin.
‘Phantom Thief’ sounds like it should be a high-level skin, and the lower-level skins of this type of thieves should all be thieves, right?
He also has a ‘Thief’s Saint Glove’ on hand, and he needs the Thief’s skin as a prerequisite.
Now that this person has arrived at your door, it’s time to try to see if you can brush the skin out of him.
[You set up a large number of traps opposite Cell No. 4879, and hid the hunger gems in the trap array.]
After preparing the trap and ensuring that he would step on the trap first when taking the gem, Mu You saw that the time was almost up and made the character invisible nearby, ready to wait and see.
The text occasionally reminds that there are patrolling octopus soldiers passing by nearby, but the traps set by Muyou are relatively remote and will not be stepped on by these octopuses.
After waiting for a while, exactly an hour after receiving the notice letter in the game, several new texts popped up.
[You see that the trap buttons in front of you are suddenly triggered continuously, revealing five invisible figures. These five figures have the same appearance, and there is no difference in appearance. They are entangled in the trap, and they still move towards the center of the trap...
…】
Five people exploded at once, it must be the main body plus clones!
Mu You took action decisively.
[You threw the chain claw at the first figure.]
[The chain claw hits and is retracted very quickly. You stabbed the person with one claw, but caused an abnormally large amount of damage. The figure disappeared instantly. Obviously, this was just a summoned object clone!]
I made the wrong check the first time, but it doesn't matter. If you have a pocket watch, you have enough error tolerance.
【Time goes by and you go back to five seconds ago.】
[You threw the chain claw at the second figure.]
[The chain claw hits and is retracted very quickly. You stabbed the person with one claw, causing some damage. Blood gushes out from the figure. Obviously, this one is the opponent's body!]
As luck would have it, I hit the real body the second time.
The moment the identity was confirmed, the other party's information also appeared in the omniscient crystal.
[Fan Lun Justin (level 19): Strength 35, agility 87, intelligence 45, constitution 24, health 5400, magic value 9500. The new thief who inherited the legacy of the sea thief Patty Wright started his career in recent years and quickly became a
Pirates are emerging among the pirates. They always send out a 'precautionary letter' in advance before committing a crime, and wait until the other party is fully prepared before committing the theft. Because of their eccentric behavior, they gradually gained the title of 'Phantom Thief'.]
At level 19, the attributes are one level higher than those at level 19. Fortunately, it is not over level 20. It only suppresses Mu You by one level, which is acceptable.
Mu You was preparing to take advantage of the first mover advantage to quickly seriously injure the opponent, but at this moment, a new prompt came from the text.
[You used the throat lock on the figure in front of you, and stabbed him with your claws again.]
[However, you only feel a blur in front of your eyes, as the figure in your hand seems to have changed. Your claws stabbed the opponent, causing abnormally high damage, and the figure in your hand disappeared instantly.]
[Obviously, what you stabbed was a clone.]
"Huh?"
Mu You was startled. Wasn't it prompted to grab the main body just now? Why did he become a clone again? Could this person's main body and clone be able to switch automatically?
[You look up and see that in the trap array ahead, a figure has broken through the encirclement and picked up the gems hidden in it.]
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
[Your hunger gem was stolen by the monster thief Fan Lun!]
[After succeeding, Phantom Thief Fan Lun's body and the remaining three clones all evacuated outwards. Do you want to pursue them?]
"Pursuit!"
This must be pursued. Is it okay to let the other party take the gems for nothing?
[You choose to chase the opponent.]
[You caught up with the four figures in front of you faster than you expected, but just when you were about to attack, you saw the four figures in front of you stopped, turned around, quickly surrounded you, and launched towards you.
Attacked!】
The agility of this monster thief was much higher than his, and Mu You was originally worried that he might not be able to catch up if he ran away.
It turned out that he was overthinking, and the other party didn't want to run away at all, and even planned to seduce and kill him. It was probably because he exposed the chain claw just now, which made the other party greedy again.
[Facing the opponent's siege, you are also ready to fight back. However, just when you are about to start the battle, you suddenly hear the footsteps of the octopus soldiers coming from the corner in front.]
[The Phantom Thief and his three clones immediately retreated to the wall, and soon fell into invisibility after becoming still. You choose...]
[Ignore the jailer and continue to attack], [Take the opportunity to escape], [Pause the battle and enter stealth].
"Pause combat and enter stealth."
At this time, a patrol happened to come over. Both of them were prison escapees. The other party didn't want the octopus soldiers to find out, and neither did he.
This monster thief seems to have deep invisibility. At this time, Mu You can only choose to become invisible like him, and wait for the octopuses to leave before continuing to fight.
[You and the Phantom Thief both fell into invisibility, and the passage became quiet.]
[A group of octopus soldiers turned around the corner and paraded towards your position. Fortunately, they did not notice your presence and walked straight past you.]
[You watch as the octopuses turn the corner on the other side and disappear into the passage. They have not gone far. You can get the upper hand by taking action now, but the fighting may also be noticed by the octopuses. Do you want to take action immediately?
】
Mu You directly clicked on 'Silence' and 'Arcane Missile' in the panel, and then selected 'Dark World' in the black magic column.
[You cast the Silence Spell, eliminating all sounds around you.]
[Under the cover of the silent spell, you took the lead in launching an attack. Three arcane missiles were fired, automatically smashing out the three invisible figures on the opposite side.]
[You release the dark world, and the environment near you automatically enters the midnight state and becomes pitch black.]
[The severe cold wind blew quickly through the passage, and large amounts of frost were like ice knives, whizzing towards all the creatures in the passage.]
[In extremely cold temperatures, your health begins to decline rapidly.]
[In extremely cold temperatures, the opponent's health begins to decline more rapidly.]
……
Mu You's trump card for daring to confront the opponent is the 'Dark World' move.
In the midnight state, his vampire skin bonus can be instantly increased to 100%. With the four-dimensional attributes doubled, his attributes become: strength 44, agility 88, intelligence 132, constitution 61, completely crushing the opponent in terms of attributes.
.
Moreover, the midnight state also activates the special effects on the fourth floor of the prison. When the night is darkest, it is also when the extreme cold on the fourth floor reaches its strongest.
