Chapter 3 The Crisis
And he also transformed into Sai Xin. This was obviously a targeted action.
Morrow's pupils trembled as he looked at Lev, who had lost his ability to transform.
In a moment, Moreau thought of many things.
He determined that Peeling Lev came specifically to trouble him.
Then he thought about Sai Xin's situation and the possibility that there were other members of the Phantom Troupe nearby.
The worst result is that the Phantom Troupe acts collectively and then treats him as prey.
but——
What about motivations and reasons?
Morrow and the brigade have never crossed paths.
Could it be a whim, or maybe you have fallen in love with his antique shop?
Unlikely.
Leave aside the value of the antique shop, it is not ranked high in Youkesin City at all. With the Phantom Troupe's style of daring to rob all the goods from the auction house, how could they take a fancy to his antique shop.
On a whim?
Even more impossible.
If it was really a whim, he would not attack Sai Xin first without any unnecessary effort, and would even adopt a more prudent approach such as transformation.
This is obviously a plan laid out in advance, hoping that the result of the action will be foolproof.
And the person in the brigade who is obsessed with this approach...
Chrollo Rusilu.
The worst possibility.
This is enough to show that the members of the brigade who attacked him, in addition to Peel Lev, were at least Chrollo, and Peck Noda, who was inseparable from Chrollo.
It's dangerous...
But it's more important to be calm at this time.
Why did the Phantom Troupe attack him?
There is no point in getting to the bottom of it right now. What we should consider is how to get out of danger.
Mo Luohu stepped back and picked up an ashtray when he passed the visitor's desk in front of the door.
In the wind and rain.
Feloff Lev saw Moreau's actions, but didn't care much about it, and after his disguise was exposed, he was not in a hurry to attack.
He failed to complete the group leader's arrangement, but the result would not change.
"Hmm?"
Left suddenly raised his eyelids.
There was a muffled sound in the antique store, and then the lights inside the store went out and fell into darkness.
Seeing this scene, Peeling Lev realized that Moreau picked up the ashtray in order to destroy the electric switch as quickly as possible.
But what’s the use?
· Peel off Lev still did not move, standing in the wind and rain.
A dark antique shop.
Morrow looked at the back door and could clearly feel a raging and violent murderous intention, which could be said to be completely unconcealed.
It was blocked.
Morrow took a deep breath.
From the behavior of Lev Lev, it was deduced that there was a high probability that Chrollo and Pike Noda were nearby, but there were obviously more than three...
There was no intention of meeting the murderous intent at the back door. Morrow calmed down as much as possible and immediately walked out of the antique shop.
Just for a while, three more people appeared on the street.
The leader has short black hair and a purple cross tattoo in the center of his forehead. His eyes are dark and deep, and there is a hint of coolness in his calm expression.
The person on the left is a tall, plump blonde woman with cold eyebrows, but her hooked nose ruins her overall beauty.
The man on the right is a blond, baby-faced young man with a pair of green eyes and a smile on his face.
Chrollo, Pike Noda, knight.
Morrow instantly recognized the person's identity due to some striking features in his appearance, and his heart sank.
Chrollo put his hands in his pockets and looked at Moreau as if he were looking at a dead object without any meaning of life.
Next to him, the knight put his hands on his hips and smiled: "He is very alert and decisive. It seems that he knows us..."
"Let's control it first."
Pike Noda crossed her arms and held up her plump pair.
Chrollo silently raised his right hand and mobilized his mental energy to move to the palm of his hand.
Looking at Chrollo's actions of mobilizing his mind, Moro's eyes were solemn, and there was no emotion in his tone:
"The Phantom Troupe... really think highly of me, but I have never had direct or indirect contact with you, right?"
Chrollo's eyes were as calm as dead water, and he still said nothing.
The other members of the brigade also had no intention of answering.
Morrow took a deep breath and thought hard about his chances of escape.
At this moment, Chrollo used his telekinesis ability.
"The thief's ultimate intention"
While thinking, a book with a red palm print appeared out of thin air in his right hand.
Hush...
Facing the heavy rain, the pages of the book turned by themselves.
When the page stopped, Chrollo's left hand appeared out of thin air with a monocle connected to a golden chain.
Seeing Chrollo's materialized monocle, Moreau's eyes suddenly changed. He didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.
That monocle is the embodiment of Sai Xin's ability.
Now that this ability has been taken away by Chrollo, it means that Sai Xin is still alive.
But with the way the Phantom Troupe behaves, even if they are still alive, the end will definitely be very miserable...
Chrollo held the monocle but did not put it on his face.
He spoke slowly and stopped Peeling Lev who was about to take action.
Originally, Chrollo wanted to use the act of manifesting a monocle to influence Moreau's mind, thereby creating an opportunity to ensure that Moreau was captured alive.
The strange thing is...
There was no trace of surprise or confusion in Moreau's reaction.
When a companion's ability is used by a person who comes to find trouble.
Even if you are extremely determined, you should at least show the doubts that humans should have.
But when Chrollo saw Moro, he did not have any reactions such as shock, surprise, confusion, etc., but instead...
Happy?
What are you grateful for?
The possibility that Chrollo can think of is that Moro realized the fact that the ability holder was still alive the moment he saw the monocle.
Then, the prerequisite for making such a judgment is to have an understanding of his trait ability "The Thief's Ultimate Intent".
This is very interesting.
"Moro... As you said, there has never been direct or indirect contact between us."
Chrollo gave a conclusion in a positive tone, and then there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
“But your reaction is telling me a message, you—understand my telekinesis ability.”
It is not a question, nor is it a guess.
It is a final conclusion.
After hearing Chrollo's words, Knight, Pike Noda, and Peeling Lev all looked surprised.
Morrow was silent, and he was also a little surprised.
Just because he saw the brief change in Sai Xin's ability, Chrollo saw the clues and confidently made a conclusion.
This is Chrollo Rusilu.
Morrow suppressed the turmoil in his heart and at the same time forced himself to look at Pike Noda.
If there is still a chance to escape, it is...
Intelligence.
Morrow is almost certain that Pike Noda used the ability to search memory on Sai Xin to pry out information about herself.
This information contains wrong information.
That is...
In Sai Xin's understanding, I am an enhancement type.
But actually, I am releasing the system.
The opportunity lies within.
