Act XLIV. accomplice

Gurgle-

Bamboo Frost was stunned for a moment, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

More than anything else, the first thing that came to Take's mind was that it was a criminal.

He wants to attack me? Want to steal my house?

Countless thoughts bubbled up in Zhu Shuang's mind, and he even forgot to shout for a while.

Today is Monday, she lives in a house in the city, and tonight her father has not returned from a banquet to welcome Darmstadt, and she is the only one in the house.

"Shhhh

THE THIEF JOKER PUT A FINGER TO HIS MOUTH, MOTIONED FOR THE BAMBOO FROST TO BE SILENT, AND THEN WALKED IN GRACEFULLY, CLOSING THE FLOOR-TO-CEILING WINDOW OF THE TERRACE BY THE WAY.

Click-

"What are you going to do?"

Zhu Shuang subconsciously covered his body with a quilt, leaned against the wall, his cheeks were slightly red, and he looked very embarrassed.

SHE WASN'T WORRIED ABOUT THE STRANGE THIEF JOKER DOING STRANGE THINGS, BUT THE CLOTHES ON HER BODY WERE REALLY NOT SUITABLE FOR OUTSIDERS TO APPEAR IN FRONT OF OUTSIDERS.

"Don't be so nervous, I said, I won't hurt you."

THE MONSTER THIEF JOKER CHUCKLED LIGHTLY AND SAT DOWN ON THE CHAIR IN FRONT OF THE BAMBOO FROST DESK, RESTING HIS RIGHT FOOT ON TOP OF HIS LEFT LEG, LOOKING VERY LEISURELY AND RELAXED.

"Please forgive me for being so presumptuous to interrupt, but I saw you at the venue today, so I wanted to come over and say hello."

He did it today!

The bamboo frost was startled, and then it was slightly puzzled.

"How did you leave?"

At the end of the day, the police couldn't find any trace of the strange thief JOKER, so they could only let the guests leave one by one, and Zhu Shuangxue couldn't understand how the strange thief JOKER escaped from the encirclement.

"Oh, I turned into a pigeon and flew away."

THE MONSTER THIEF JOKER REPLIED WITH A GENTLE TUCK OF HIS MONOCLE AND A CURLED MOUTH.

"Really......"

Zhu Shuangchuan was quite skeptical, even if she knew that he was an ascender, but turning into an animal or something was still too beyond common sense, and she didn't believe it.

"I'm here today to ask for your help."

THE MONSTER THIEF JOKER DIDN'T CARE ABOUT BAMBOO FROST'S WHISPERED QUESTION, BUT SPOKE, HE GOT UP, CAME TO THE BEDSIDE, AND BEFORE BAMBOO FROST NOTICED, HE TOOK OFF HIS LEFT GLOVE, GENTLY GRABBED HER SLENDER HAND, KNELT DOWN ON ONE KNEE, AND MADE A PLEADING GESTURE.

"My help?"

TAKESHUANG TRIED TO WITHDRAW HIS HAND, BUT HE REALIZED THAT THE STRANGE THIEF JOKER DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY MALICIOUS INTENT, SO HE DISPELLED THE IDEA.

"You should have received an invitation to attend the reception at the end of the Darmstadt exhibition, right?"

THE MONSTER THIEF JOKER ASKED SOFTLY, AS IF HE DIDN'T WANT TO SPOIL THE AMBIGUOUS ATMOSPHERE OF THE MOMENT.

"Right...... You want me to take you in? ”

BAMBOO FROST NODDED, AND THEN SENSED THE INTENTION OF THE STRANGE THIEF JOKER.

Although the contents of the Monster Thief JOKER Teaser Warning Letter were not made public on the spot, Takeshuang listened to his father's discussion and probably knew something about it, knowing that the Monster Thief Joker might commit a crime at the last day of the drinking party.

BUT BAMBOO FROST FELL HAD NO IDEA THAT THE MONSTER THIEF JOKER WOULD VISIT HIS ...... own bedroom, begging to help him.

"It's a crime!"

Bamboo Frost raised her voice slightly, she didn't have the idea of doing such a criminal act.

"Did you know that although Frederich Darmstadt was nominally a collector, he actually committed smuggling crimes in the name of collecting collections, and this traveling exhibition is a cover to take away the smuggled goods he collected in Zhuxia?"

THE MONSTER THIEF JOKER SAID IN A DEEP VOICE, SNAPPING HIS FINGERS AT THE SAME TIME, AND SEVERAL PHOTOS SUDDENLY APPEARED IN HIS HAND, HANDING THEM TO ZHU SHUANG.

Bamboo Frost was suspicious, picked up the photo and looked at it, and immediately found that it was somewhat familiar, the missing cultural relics reported on the news, and these cultural relics, together with some of the exhibits in Darmstadt, it was obvious that this was evidence of the crime.

Instead of believing it right away, she incorporated these assumptions into the context of what she had previously consulted.

There was silence for a moment, and Zhu Shuang's eyes changed slightly.

"Is this true?"

"I wouldn't lie to a lovely lady."

THE THIEF JOKER CHUCKLED.

Then you still say that you turned into a pigeon and flew away...... Bamboo Frost muttered to himself, puffed out his cheeks slightly, and sighed again.

"But even if you know he's a smuggler...... My father said that if the means of exercising justice are not correct, then the original righteous deeds will also be stained with sin, so ......"

THE MONSTER THIEF JOKER MAINTAINED A KIND EXPRESSION, AND AFTER LISTENING TO THE BAMBOO FROST, HE SIGHED IMPERCEPTIBLY AND LIFTED HIS MONOCLE AT THE SAME TIME.

What a good boy with too much integrity.

AFTER A MOMENT'S DELIBERATION, JOKER SPOKE.

"Your mother died seven years ago in the Pan-Western Sea Business Community because of the Ascender incident, right?"

“!”

Hearing this, Takeshuang's body suddenly stiffened, and he looked at the monster thief JOKER with confused eyes, not knowing why he mentioned this.

"That incident was nominally a disaster caused by the criminals of the Ascended Levelers, but in reality it was not, it was a disaster caused by the Abyssal Relic, which was the product of Darmstadt's smuggling."

THE THIEF JOKER SAID WITH A SIGH.

This is the result of a combination of investigations by the Abyss Relic Affairs Division and the police.

Of course, because Darmstadt was "cut off" from the incident in time at that time, he was not able to be traced back to him in the end, but all kinds of clues show that Darmstadt was the main messenger behind the scenes, and that incident was a tragedy caused by the activation of the abyss relics.

"I'm sorry, I don't want you to remember the sadness of that time, and I don't want to lead you to hatred of Darmstadt, I just want you to understand that my actions are to prevent a greater calamity, and I'm sure you can understand."

Bamboo Frost was silent for a long time.

IN MY MIND, THE IMAGE AT THAT TIME, THE IMAGE THAT CAN NEVER BE FORGOTTEN REPEATED, THE PAIN OF THE OLD DAYS ONCE AGAIN TORE MY HEART, THE BAMBOO FROST LOWERED THE EYES RED, THE EYES MOISTENED, AND A TEAR CROSSED THE FACE, BUT IT WAS QUICKLY WIPED AWAY BY THE THUMB OF THE MONSTER THIEF JOKER.

“...... I can help you. ”

Zhu Shuang pondered and hesitated for a long time before finally exhaling a long breath and said.

"But it's not for revenge, it's for justice to be done, to protect others from harm."

“...... Thank you for your understanding. ”

THE THIEF JOKER SMILED.

"In order to prevent you from being suspected by the police, you can directly invite an acquaintance to a drinking party, well, such as a sweetheart or something, I will pretend to be him and blend in with you, of course, please believe my acting skills, you don't have any abnormal performance, just treat it as if you don't know about it at all."

He said, seemingly having practiced the passage several times.

"What about him?"

Hearing this, Zhu Shuang immediately asked.

"Don't worry, I'll put him to sleep for a while, and promise to give you a complete one."

THE CORNER OF THE STRANGE THIEF JOKER'S MOUTH DREW A SMILE, CAUSING ZHUSHUANG TO LOOK AWAY AND BLUSH.

BUT THE MONSTER THIEF JOKER HAD ALREADY KISSED THE BACK OF THE BAMBOO FROST'S HAND, LET GO, GOT UP, AND CAME TO THE BALCONY.

"Why, why did you choose me?"

BAMBOO FROST ASKED AGAIN, IN HER OPINION, INSTEAD OF RISKING EXPOSURE TO ASK FOR HER OWN HELP, THE MONSTER THIEF JOKER COULD DIRECTLY STUN THE OTHER GUESTS AND GET INTO IT, THERE ARE TOO MANY VARIABLES IN BAMBOO FROST.

"Hehe, as the founder of the Monster Thieves website, I think you have the right to watch me perform at close range, and you will be my best audience."

THE THIEF JOKER LIFTED HIS MONOCLE.

"You...... How will you know?!! ”

The bamboo frost was shocked again, and the cheeks were far hotter than before.

How would he have known that he had built the site? It's supposed to be completely anonymous, right?

"Secret."

THE STRANGE THIEF JOKER RAISED HIS FINGER IN FRONT OF HIS MOUTH, HE OPENED THE FLOOR-TO-CEILING WINDOW, AND A COLD WINTER WIND BLEW, CAUSING BAMBOO FROST TO SQUINT HIS EYES SLIGHTLY, AND HE COULD ONLY SEE THE CORNERS OF THE STRANGE THIEF JOKER'S CLOTHES AND THE ENDS OF HIS HAIR MESSY IN THE GUST OF WIND.

"I'm looking forward to you sparkling at the banquet, lovely lady."

He took one step and quickly disappeared onto the terrace.

Only the last sentence remains, stretching in the wind.

“...... In this way, we are complicit. ”
