Chapter 284 Cat and Mouse Game(1/2)
"Oh ho!"
Mu You was pleasantly surprised when he saw the newly dropped items.
Originally, he had given up all hope for the thief, but unexpectedly, a golden legend was revealed to him!
[You see the Phantom Thief resurrected at the intersection ahead and rushing towards you again.]
[You have received a 'Phantom Thief Reservation Letter': Phantom Thief Valen Justin has taken a fancy to the 'Phantom Thief Mask' you just acquired. He will start stealing the mask in 11 hours and will last for 30 minutes. During this period, the mask will be stolen.
The mask cannot be bound, transferred between planes, or stored as space props, and Phantom Thief Van Lun Justin can know the location of the mask at any time...]
Within a few seconds after picking up the new equipment, a new reservation letter prompt suddenly popped up in the game.
Mu You knew at a glance that this guy must have discovered that his most important equipment had been exploded after being resurrected. He immediately became anxious and activated the reservation ability on him without thinking. The purpose was to lock the mask first to prevent it from being destroyed.
Muyou transfer.
This guy deliberately set the time for the theft half a day later. It should be that he couldn't steal on the spot after sending the reservation, so he had to stagger the time for preparation.
The extreme cold period on the fourth floor was about to begin. He could not move during this period, so he could only postpone it to the next comfort period half a day later.
Knowing the other party's purpose, Mu You naturally would not let him get what he wanted, so he decisively went back in time and clicked on the text of 'Phantom Thief Mask' before the other party's appointment letter was sent.
A hard mask with an ordinary appearance appeared in Mu You's hand.
This mask has the appearance of a red and white fox face. It does not emit any colors that represent quality around it. It cannot even be seen as a piece of equipment. The information fed back by the omniscient crystal is only "an ordinary mask".
Words, obviously this thing is specially processed like the Phantom Wand.
However, this mask is bound to the skin and requires the Kaitou skin to be used. Mu You cannot use it for the time being, so he can only keep it for now.
In the game, after extracting the mask, the appointment letter prompt did not appear again.
[You see the Phantom Thief waving his weapon and rushing towards you desperately, what do you choose...]
"Turn around and run."
I haven't gotten back the Hunger Gem yet, but I've got something more important. I'm not afraid that the monster thief won't come looking for him.
Now, Mu You should run away first, because the time limit of the Dark World is about to end. Once they leave the Dark World and lose the home field advantage, the strength of the two people will instantly reverse. Naturally, they must take advantage of the last time in the Dark World.
, quickly distance yourself.
[You chose to turn around and run away...]
[You run away with all your strength, and the Phantom Thief is chasing after you desperately. The Phantom Thief's agility attribute is higher than yours, and the distance between you is quietly closing.]
[You hear the footsteps of octopus soldiers in front of you, and there seems to be a patrol approaching the corner ahead. You choose...]
【You chose to move forward!】
[You heard the monster thief behind you secretly cursed ‘madman’, and then he stopped by the wall and hurriedly fell into invisibility.]
[You stopped when you were about to rush around the corner, entered cell 4501 nearby, and changed the cell sentence to: 1 day.]
[The octopus soldiers paraded past your cell, did not notice anything unusual, and walked away slowly.]
[You escaped the Octopus Soldiers' search, but you are trapped in the cell. Now that you are unlocked and go out, you will be noticed by the Octopus Soldiers who have not gone far, and the Phantom Thief is about to appear again to hunt you down. You choose...]
[Escape from the cell and continue to escape], [Stay in the cell and wait for a fight to the death].
Muyou didn't choose any of the two options, but quit the game directly.
This is the biggest advantage that players have over the aborigines on the opposite side: if they cannot defeat them, they can go offline and escape at any time. There are two worlds online and offline. Once they go offline, everything will be cut off.
In the pet shop, Muyou got offline and had nothing to do, so he put away his phone and went downstairs.
There are no customers in the store at this time, because Friday is the scheduled rest day for the pet store, so only tickets for the morning are sold.
Mu You went downstairs and saw that Xiaoya was feeding the chocobos in the zoo, while Lin Xue was at the front desk, concentrating on making secret cards.
"You seem to be in a good mood?" Lin Xue heard the commotion and looked up to see Mu You coming down for a walk. Seeing the smile on his lips and his relaxed look, he knew that something must have happened.
"I got a good piece of equipment in the game." Mu You is certainly in a good mood. Legendary equipment is a truly rare item, and Mu You has also seen the effect of this equipment with his own eyes. The ability to switch with clones at any time can be used well if used well.
Decay becomes magic.
"Oh? What equipment?" Lin Xue asked.
Mu You didn't hide anything, and briefly talked to her about the effects of the equipment he just bought. Lin Xue also knew about him sneaking into the underwater prison.
"What about you? How is the mission going?" Mu You asked Lin Xue. She had previously received the inheritance mission of the Death Scythe, and recently she had been doing missions near the Undercity.
"It's a bit difficult. This seems to be a series of tasks. I have just completed the first part...well."
As Lin Xue spoke, the secret card in her hand suddenly burst into light and dissipated in her hand like a gorgeous firework. This was a symbol of failure in making the secret card.
"New card this week?" Mu You asked.
Lin Xue got a low-level soul scroll 'Soul Fire' at Thursday's meeting. She has transformed it into a secret card at noon today, and is now making a copy.
"Well, it's really not easy. This is the fifth time we have failed today..." Lin Xue shook her head and sighed.
In fact, her card-making stability is considered to be the highest among all mystics except Mu You, but she still has to try a lot of luck every time she makes a card. If she is lucky, she can succeed within five attempts.
If you are not lucky, you may be stuck for several days.
"I'll do it!" Mu said.
"Okay." Lin Xue handed him a card.
Mu You took a look at this Soul Fire. The name of the converted black magic has not changed, and the effect has almost remained the same. It still ignites the Soul Fire for a target and gains the opponent's vision, but the duration has been extended to 5 hours.
Moreover, the secret version of the soul fire cannot be dispelled, which is equivalent to forcibly acquiring a person's vision. Even if the other party knows that someone is watching, there is nothing they can do. The practicality is greatly improved.
There was a chance that this spell would be useful against the monster thief later. Mu You had nothing to do at the moment, so he simply asked for the card and copied it himself.
Mu You was leisurely making cards, but in the undersea prison, Phantom Thief Fan Lun Justin was having a hard time.
He didn’t know why he was so unlucky today. He repeatedly ran into obstacles when trying to steal things, failed three times in a row with black magic, and was actually killed in the end!
It doesn't matter if he is killed once. He has been a monster thief for so many years and has not died before. However, who would have thought that such a rare death would actually explode the most precious treasure in his body!
The Kaitou Mask is one of his core equipment. To him, it is equivalent to a meal. If someone picks this thing up, he will never give up. He chases that person decisively and vows to take the thing away.
Grab it back.
The man disappeared after hiding in the cell just now, but the Phantom Thief is very sure that the man was not discovered by the jailer. It is very possible that he is still hiding in the cell, but he was hidden in some way.
In order to avoid missing the point and allowing the other party to escape, he could only ambush nearby, staring at the cell in front of him with wide eyes, without even daring to blink.
Fortunately, Muyou didn't keep him waiting for too long, and got online in time as soon as five o'clock passed.
Five o'clock in reality is around seven o'clock on the opposite side of the game. At this time, the comfort period on the fourth floor is almost over, and then it will enter the extremely cold night time.
The monster thief was worried that Mu You's Juanbao would run away, and Mu You was also worried that the opponent would be persuaded to retreat by the fourth-level weather. His hunger gem was still on the opponent, so he had to go online in time to end the relationship with the opponent.
[You appear in Undersea Prison, Cell No. 4501.]
[With a click, you successfully unlocked the cell door.]
[You used the troll niche, summoned two ordinary trolls, and ordered one of the trolls to walk out of the cell.]
[The troll was hit by the lightning strike from the octopus statue opposite and fell to the ground, dying.]
[The alarm sounded, but no octopus soldiers came nearby. During the extremely cold and hot periods of night and day, the octopus guards had to stop patrolling.]
Even the octopus soldiers can't stand the harsh environment on the fourth floor. They only have four working hours a day during their comfort period.
In other words, the entire fourth floor is now unattended, so there is no need to be cautious in subsequent actions.
【You walked out of the cell as if there was no one around.】
[You stepped into an assassination trap and fell into a state of being unable to move.]
[Monster thief Fan Lun flashes behind you and launches 'Backstab', 'Night Kill', 'Breaking Blow'...]
[You are seriously injured...]
Mu You guessed that this monster thief would probably guard the top line here, but he was still shocked by the opponent's high explosive power. As expected of a professional thief, he was very proficient in this set of assassination methods, with seven or eight assassination spells in one second.
Use it, and Mu You's blood volume will bottom out instantly.
Mu You hurriedly retraced his steps, and this time he released a 'life barrier' in the cell before walking out.
[The monster thief Fan Lun appears again and launches various assassination methods against you. Your health drops rapidly...]
[Just when the opponent is about to kill you, a life barrier appears to help you block the fatal attack, and you enter an immortal state for five seconds.]
[You released the ‘Executioner’ and entered the hegemonic state.]
[You use the refresh badge, and all magic cooldowns are restored.]
[You have released the Dark World again, forcing the surroundings to fall into a midnight state. You have equipped the Berserker's Wail, gaining extra strength and physical bonuses, and your attributes have skyrocketed!]
[You have activated the War Scream and the Vampiric Aura at the same time. Each of your attacks can convert 125% of the damage caused into health points...]
The opponent directly attacked in the face, and Mu You was not polite. He used all the skills he could activate, and instantly entered the strongest form. Executioner, Battle Fury Ax and vampire skin bonus. Now his strength value is as high as 168 points!
With more than 16,000 health points and 125% blood-sucking power, even if you are in an extremely cold environment at midnight, your health will only increase!
On the other hand, the Phantom Thief was miserable. He obviously didn't expect Mu You to have a rogue move like Life Barrier. The set of explosions he carefully prepared hit the cotton, and Mu You's attributes at this time were better than the last time he killed him.
It was even more outrageous when it happened, as the Kaito thief's life seemed to evaporate, disappearing piece by piece.
To be continued...
