Chapter 198 The Unusual Phantom Thief
Outside the banquet hall, as the sound of commotion came from the venue, a short figure wearing waiter's clothes was hurriedly walking out of the manor.
He knew that because of his theft, there must be a large-scale search for him in the venue at this moment, and the manor was quickly sealed. After all, he stole something from the bloody earl.
But for him, the Phantom Thief, not only did he not feel any tension or pressure, but it made him feel very excited.
As a self-proclaimed Robin Hood-style thief who robs the rich and gives to the poor, shouldn't he punish these nobles who do evil and bring justice to the people?
The bloody Earl killed so many people during his brutal suppression of Xinshak City. Why did he steal two things from her? Think of it as her repayment of the blood debt she owed to the people of Xinshake City!
However, even though he was thinking this, the self-proclaimed Phantom Thief waiter still did not just rush out.
He knew that the manor used for hosting banquets should be under martial law at this moment. If he ran out like this, it would be difficult to escape even if he planned and prepared the evacuation route in advance.
So when he walked through a hidden corridor, he directly grabbed the clothes on his body, pulled hard, and pulled off the entire waiter's uniform, revealing a man wearing a suit underneath. Suit.
If people see this scene, it will seem a bit incredible. After all, it is still cold in winter. A men's suit that is in line with the current season and a layer of waiter's clothes on top will look bloated no matter how you look at it. , even if the Phantom Thief is short in stature.
The waiter's clothes that he took off disappeared between his hands in a few movements, like a magic trick
After a brief check, he saw that he had no There was no obvious flaw. The "Phantom Thief" wiped it on his face again. He put a beard on himself with a snap of his fingers, and his skin color changed from dark to fair. It was as if he had changed into a different person.
At the same time, a monocle was hung on his face, and even his messy hair suddenly became shiny and shiny, making him look like an upper-class person without being associated with anything. Just now he was just a waiter.
Then he pinched his cheekbones again to make them taller. He also stretched his back. After a clicking sound, his height suddenly increased. So young, it seems that the whole person suddenly looks slimmer.
This moment made him completely different from the slightly shorter waiter just now.
But this would only allow him to evade a temporary search, but it would not allow him to escape safely. Once they started running through the guest list, they could easily screen him out.
Although his disguise technique can change his appearance to a certain extent, it is not to the extent that he can change his face.
Of course, it would not be a big problem if he found a good target to imitate, but this time he prepared in a hurry and had no time to arrange things more carefully, so he had to make do.
In this way, after changing into a costume similar to that of the guests at the venue, the Phantom Thief quickly came to the door of the manor and shouted to the guards: "No, it belongs to the Earl." It was stolen! The Governor has ordered us to seal this place quickly!”
The guards heard his shout and rushed over. After passing by again to confirm that the earl had lost something, these guards Not daring to neglect, he immediately sounded the alarm and began to blockade the manor.
The Phantom Thief, while everyone was in chaos because of the sound of the alarm, quietly came to a corner of the wall that he had already explored, and then supported the walls on both sides of the corner with both hands, and began to support the wall. Climb up.
For the Phantom Thief, it is just a matter of climbing the wall without using tools, which is not difficult at all. So in just a few breaths, the Phantom Thief climbed to the top of the wall, and then after adjusting his position and posture, he jumped onto the branch of a big tree outside the wall.
This big tree was what he had spotted before taking action. Although the thick branches were a little far away from the manor's wall, it was still not beyond the distance he could jump. scope.
Therefore, as long as he jumped into the tree, it meant that he could escape from the manor.
However, just when he was celebrating that he successfully completed a theft and was about to leave something as a souvenir to let those who were tricked by him know that it was the Phantom Thief who had carried out this great operation, a shot suddenly came from behind him. A throwing knife.
The Phantom Thief hurriedly dodged, and the flying knife almost grazed his arm and just missed nailing it to the tree.
He hurriedly looked back and saw that the female guard who had rushed up to pull her away during the robbery had already caught up with her, and the cold light in her hand was already the second flying knife. About to throw it over.
The Phantom Thief did not dare to neglect, he turned over and got off the tree, and began to run away.
While escaping, he seemed to dislike that the suit could not allow his body to move better. He took off the suit again just like he had just taken off the waiter's clothes, and also used his hands to make it disappear. .
Now, he is wearing a set of tight-fitting black clothes that are very conducive to movement, allowing the Phantom Thief to easily jump onto the balconies and roofs of buildings next to the road.
The Phantom Thief hoped to get rid of the assassin's pursuit, but the enraged assassin had no intention of letting him go. He just jumped up to the roof and continued to chase the Phantom Thief.
The two of them started chasing each other on the roof. The Phantom Thief ran away desperately, while the assassin continued to pursue, trying to shorten the distance between the two.
However, I don’t know whether it’s because the Phantom Thief is agile, or because he is more familiar with the terrain than the Assassin, or both. There is always a distance between the Assassin and the Phantom Thief, which prevents the Assassin from directly catching the Phantom Thief.
However, the distance between the two is constantly shortening with the pursuit, and the flying knives thrown by the assassin from time to time are gradually forcing the Phantom Thief in a certain direction.
The Phantom Thief was naturally aware of the assassin's intentions, but at this time he could only run for his life.
After all, he is just a phantom thief. Although he is also a transcendent, what he is good at is stealing things, not fighting with people.
So the Phantom Thief can only pray that he will not be caught.
However, things did not develop as the Phantom Thief expected. As the distance between the two continued to shrink, the assassin finally found an opportunity and stabbed the Phantom Thief in the thigh with a flying knife, causing him to stagger. After a while, he rolled down from the roof.
