The story is very short, but it makes Akai, who listens to the story, break out in a cold sweat.

Under the soft narration of the youth, a passing period of time slowly unfolded.

There was a boy who, for some special reason, was sent to Las Vegas in the United States at a very young age, and a magician adopted him. It was precisely because of this that the boy became his youngest disciple under the guidance of a magician.

The magician's methods are extremely magical, and the boy is also very intelligent, and he quickly learned the magician's methods. It didn't take long for the people of Las Vegas to know that there was a magical magician who could perform fascinating magic, that all the gems he touched were sky-high, and that his youngest disciple was known at a young age, but people did not know the true appearance of the young magician, only that he had a pair of amber eyes.

While others were admiring the magician's magic, the boy knew that his master always had an obsession in his heart, and for this obsession, he and his wife would choose to bear that dangerous identity and always wander in the moonlight.

As time passed, the boy grew into a handsome boy, and as the time of return came, the magician, who was no longer young, smiled and brought the boy and his brother closer.

"Since I've decided to go back, I won't stop anything." Looking at the young man in front of him, a smile appeared on the magician's clear face, "You two will inherit my mantle in the future, of course I want to give you a small gift." As he spoke, the magician glanced at the young man's senior brother with envy on his face, and scolded with a smile, "As for you, let's study hard for me." ”

The young man shrugged his shoulders, his nominal senior brother is actually the master's son, obviously the two are almost the same in ability, but the master always has stricter requirements for him.

Casting a look of pity at the senior brother on the side, the young man took the gift that his master had given him, which was a gorgeous black dress, a top hat and a cloak with gold patterns but hidden mysteries. It's very similar to Master's white clothes.

"Since I'm leaving, although I don't really want to, I have to warn you." The magician sighed, "I also know that you are facing a bigger danger than I thought, and you," he said, looking back at his son beside him, a hint of seriousness on his face, "Remember what I said next." ”

"The world is far deeper than you think, full of more puzzles." The magician's face showed a hint of solemnity, "Although our goal is to make these puzzles more magical, we magicians ourselves must first know the answer to the puzzle, so that we can be invincible." Whatever you will become, remember that you once had a magician's brain. ”

The two teenagers nodded at the same time.

"When you're facing the guests, that's where the duel takes place." Speaking of this, a trace of pride flashed on the magician's face, "You must not be angry or despise, you must understand the psychology of the other party, face the psychology of the other party, you must concentrate on it, use all your skills, and you must not lack a smile and bearing, no matter what happens, you must not forget a poker face." ”

"Ugh....... Dad, it seems like you're the only one who can use a poker face. A teenager couldn't help but complain.

"......" Listening to the master's scolding and the senior brother's painful cry, the young man couldn't help but chuckle.

"Looking back now, it was probably the time I miss the most." On the other side of Akai, the young man's voice was low, but his face was expressionless.

Akai looked at the young man in front of him and sighed, but didn't say anything.

Because he knew that the story of the man in front of him was not finished.

On the plane back to Japan, the boy looked at the gorgeous clothes in his hand and thought of a certain deep and boundless darkness, and the boy couldn't help but make up his mind.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the strange thief Feng Ming to come out, a letter, just like his master, easily toyed with the police in Tokyo, but the young man had no sense of accomplishment in his heart, but he faintly understood the helplessness of the master as the strange thief Kidd in his heart.

In order to deal with the threat of the future organization, the boy fabricated the identity of the strange thief Feng Ming, but after a full year of secret visits, he did not find the slightest trace, but his name was registered in the Metropolitan Police Department. In desperation, coupled with the pointlessness of the investigation, the young man gave up the identity of the strange thief Feng Ming and returned to a peaceful life.

My life in Japan is very good, I have like-minded friends around me, my brother continues to learn magic with my master in Las Vegas, and my wife secretly comes to Japan from time to time to visit me and my sister, and by the way, I use the identity of a strange thief lady to appear twice in front of the police, and from time to time they make a fuss about the search.

However, this peaceful life, on a summer night, was shattered by a bad news in an instant.

"Kaede Tea!" His senior brother, who has always been giggling, choked up like a child on the phone, "Father, he ......"

"What's wrong with Master!" The young man's hand couldn't help but tremble, and the panic in his heart expanded rapidly like ink dripping into water, "Senior brother, say it quickly!" Hurry up! ”

"Father, he ......" Before the senior brother's words were finished, the other end of the phone was replaced by the voice of the senior mother, but the calm and wise voice of the original senior mother was trembling with a slight tremor at the moment, and she no longer blamed the soft voice of the thief lady.

"Master!" The young man's anxiety could no longer be hidden, and it came directly through the other end of the phone, "What's wrong with Master!" Tell me quickly! ”

"Your master, he ......." On the other end of the phone, the woman's voice snorted, as if to hide the choking in her throat, and after a while, she spit out a few words with difficulty.

"Something's wrong!"

The mobile phone in his hand fell to the ground silently, and there was a "click" cracking sound on the ground, just like the heart of a young man, the sound of freezing and cracking in the ice cellar.

Without the slightest hesitation, the teenager booked a ticket to the United States that night, and when he left home, the teenager found someone to check in an item.

A black knife.

Like a bullet popping out of the muzzle, the boy hurried to Las Vegas, where he met his brother, whom he hadn't seen for years. At the moment of meeting, the young man's eyes couldn't help but have a hot current.

In the master's basement, looking at the contents inside, the boy gritted his teeth in hatred.

"Good, good, good." The young man gritted his teeth and looked at the information on the computer, "In that case, don't blame me for attacking you!" ”

"Assassinate my master for a gem?"

"If I can't find that damn organization, I'll use you bastards who are tigers to give Master a funeral!"

Putting on the familiar dress again, caressing the fabric of the cloak, the expression on the young man's face was very cold, but there was a faint nostalgia in his eyes, his face seemed to smile and cry, and finally, the young man was silent, and slowly picked up the gilt gold mask, and slowly covered his face, after the mask completely covered the young man's face, the next moment, the dazzling gold like hot melted gold, suddenly bloomed out from the young man's eyes!

The originally clear amber eyes have turned into the pupils of fate that are as dazzling as flames!

Caressing the dark scabbard in his hand, the young man's clear and ethereal voice slowly came out of his mouth and slowly drifted away in the night wind:

"My name, the strange thief Feng Ming!"

It was night, Las Vegas was blazing, and all one could see was a black-winged magician standing in the night wind, his eyes like blazing gilt.

"This is my story." Inside the café, Charlotte whispered, "It's ...... too."

"The story of the strange thief Maple Tea."

Akai was silent.
