Chapter 206 Duel
Faced with Kallen who was unwilling to admit it, Purficott helplessly shook his head and said: "Miss Kallen, the alchemy tools on your body are really conspicuous. As an alchemist, I You can't ignore it even if you want to.
And the perfume you used also revealed your identity. When you stole my things the night before yesterday, the smell was already on my Midas touch.
So go ahead and capture it, Miss Kallen, I don’t want to be a hard-nosed person who destroys flowers. As I said, delicate flowers like you should be taken care of carefully.”
However. Purficott's answer was an exploding smoke bomb.
Purficott was not surprised by this. She didn't even get up. She just shouted loudly into the venue: "Everyone stay where you are and don't move. The thief can't escape."
It's just that Purficott was able to remain calm and composed, but the celebrities from all walks of life who were invited to the venue were not as calm as she was.
The smoke bombs thrown by Kallen didn’t just explode around Purficott. She seemed to have set traps in the venue in advance. The smoke bombs that exploded together at this moment raised a large amount of smoke in an instant. The white smoke obscured the sight of most people in the venue.
Obviously, although this Miss Phantom Thief cannot do the operation of extinguishing all the lights, she can use other methods to block everyone's sight.
But Purficott's vision was not affected. The power of the omniscient eye was enough to allow her to see through the fog and see the truth she wanted to know.
Not only that, even her native red eye does not only have conventional optical vision. The moment the smoke rises, her eyes convert themselves into infrared vision, making the shielding effect of the smoke invisible.
After all, the smoke bomb used by Karen is just a very ordinary smoke bomb. In addition to the large amount of smoke, the white smoke does not even have infrared shielding function and the temperature is also very low. It can be said that it is right Purficott's interference was almost zero.
So Purficott could clearly watch Kallen quickly change out of the gorgeous long dress that was inconvenient to move after throwing out the smoke bomb, and then shot a hook from her wrist to nail it. On the ceiling of the venue, the whole person swayed from his seat to the platform in the center of the venue.
She kicked over the glass cover covering the flying stone with both feet, and then grabbed the blue gem.
However, just when she thought she had succeeded and was about to collect the hook thread in her hand and pull herself to evacuate towards the already scouted escape route, she suddenly found that the force of the hook thread in her hand had suddenly changed. It was so big that it caused her to deviate from the planned trajectory, flew out directly, and almost smashed her into the wall.
Karen rolled along, trying to control her body, but found that she just used normal force, and her whole body was spinning like a top, with no way to control her body.
Not only that, she also found that she could not land at all, and her whole body was floating strangely in the air. Any struggle would only cause her to lose control of her body.
She tried to launch the hook again, but the force of the hook thread still pulled her whole body around in the sky, unable to find the right direction at all.
At this time, the smoke released by the smoke bomb was about to dissipate. If Kallen could not leave, she would lose the chance to escape.
Just when Karen was trying to stabilize her body in a panic, as if she had fallen into the water, there was a sudden gunshot and the burning heat that flew over her body. The feeling let her know someone had shot her.
"Miss Phantom Thief, I advise you to just surrender and be captured. With that shot just now, I took care of the fact that you have been chatting with me for so long and I didn't shoot you, but the next shot..." Perficott was already standing in the middle of the venue. At the original position of the stand, she held a gun that was shorter than an ordinary flintlock rifle. At this moment, she was pulling the bolt, ejecting a brass cartridge case, and pushing another bullet into the chamber. The bullet casing made a crisp sound as it hit the ground, and Purficott had already aimed his sights at Kallen's body.
"I won't be captured without mercy! Don't underestimate the ability of the Phantom Thief!" Kallen had quickly analyzed her problem at this time, so she took the flying stone in her hand. She threw it decisively, and sure enough, as soon as the flying stone left her hand, she felt that she could control her body again, without the weird feeling of weightlessness.
This made Kallen immediately realize that her guess was correct. This was a stone that could make people fly.
Although Kallen was unable to escape as planned due to the influence of the flying stone, she still had enough calmness and confidence at the moment.
He threw out his hook again, and this time it didn't cause any problems. Instead, it accurately took Karen's body to the retreat route she had prepared, a secret door on the ceiling.
The flying stone that she had thrown out before was also flying in this direction at this time, and Kallen used its inertia to crash into the secret door together with her body.
Perfect was naturally not polite. She quickly pulled the trigger in her hand. After firing one shot, she fired another shot. She did not stop pulling the trigger until all five bullets in the magazine were fired. Pull the trigger.
Out of the five bullets, except for the first one that she deliberately missed, the other four all hit.
But unfortunately, the shooting window was too short. Although all four bullets hit, Kallen still successfully crashed into the secret door.
Just when everyone felt sorry and thought that this bold phantom thief had escaped, Kallen's body fell out of the secret door again, falling straight down and almost hitting the floor.
The reason why she almost missed it was because she held the flying stone tightly in her hand. With the help of the power of the flying stone, although she fell, she did not fall too badly.
The moment she landed, four steel guns were already placed on her body, locking her body. As long as she dared to make any move, the four steam knights were enough to tear her into pieces. .
It was only then that everyone saw clearly that both Kallen's legs were hit by bullets. Although it was not fatal, it still made her incapacitated.
One of the other two bullets shattered the hook launching device on her wrist, and the other hit the hook thrown by Kallen just now and shattered it, leaving Kallen unable to use it. The power of the hook.
"It's really a pity. I didn't want to do this, Miss Kallen." Purficott walked up to Kallen, shook his head slightly and sighed: "Your ability is indeed outstanding. If I hadn't done it myself, I'm afraid You succeeded today! But unfortunately, you still failed to steal my things from my hands."
As he said that, Purficott took out the golden stick and touched it in Kallen's hand. On the flying stone, it fell into a dormant state before taking it back.
Karen was also escorted down by the steam knights with a look of unwillingness, waiting to be dealt with.
