Chapter 240: The Adventures of Filut I

Run! Run hard! Run hard!

Can't stop! If you stop at this time, not only will your own life be in danger, but your younger brother and sister will also be completely lost!

Filut gritted her teeth and ran desperately on the rooftop, using her running force to leap quickly down an alley, thanks to her petite and even somewhat malnourished body, with her weight that could be blown away by almost a gust of wind, Filut landed steadily on the roof opposite without even making a loud noise.

And the roof slope of the house is very small, which makes it easy for Firut to remove the impact with a single roll, and he doesn't have to worry about accidentally rolling off the eaves.

"Where did you go?" "Over there!" "Chase!"

The cacophony of voices below was clearly getting closer and closer, but Filut didn't show any anxious and panicked expression.

Not only because the route she took to escape was the safest path she had carefully chosen, but also because Filut, who had four years of experience as a snitch, knew that the more dangerous it was, the more she had to be calm, panic and fear would only shake her mind and lead to the idea of giving up, and in many cases, giving up often meant death!

"I ...... Can't die! Filut calmed her breath a little, regained her strength, and tried to calm her beating heart with deep breaths, and then, when the noise of the street seemed to turn to the street, Filut bent over and ran again on the roof at a great speed.

If it weren't for the fact that Filut was just an ordinary human no matter how she looked, it would be easy for people to associate it with the cat-people of the orcs with her nimble skills and silent rapid movement.

At this time, with the help of the roof's cover for vision, coupled with the silent rapid movement, Filut finally threw off the pursuers again, and then as long as she landed quickly at the next street entrance, and then blended into the noisy crowd, then she could get out smoothly!

With a sudden brath, Filut was very nimble and stabilized herself on the roof, and with her familiarity with the surrounding roofs, she instantly found a hiding place, and began to observe the street she had originally targeted.

"Damn! This is in trouble! ”

Filute's original escape plan was to completely get rid of the pursuers here, because this road is the most prosperous street in the royal capital, and the flow of people here is always endless, so you just need to blend in with the flow of people, and then whether it is to move closer to the inner side of the royal capital and then move to the inner city and finally turn back to the slums, or transfer to the other side and then return to the slums from the outskirts of the city, it can be easy for Filut to get rid of the danger far away.

Next, she only needs to find a way to transfer the stolen goods this time, and by the way, spread the secrets that she accidentally overheard when stealing the stolen goods, then her life will be completely saved.

As a member of the gutter rats, Filut knows very well the attitude of the upper echelons towards them - if necessary, they can send as many people as they can to kill her, but when the value of killing her is lost, the brightly dressed but dirtier and cunning ones in their hearts than the gutter rats will completely forget about her, and instead go to the trouble of weaving one crazy conspiracy after another, playing with disgusting intrigues to make up for the secret leak!

Thinking of this, Filut couldn't help but show a smile full of bitterness. Although life in the slums is very difficult, at least everyone here is straightforward, and there are no twists and turns of the upper class.

In the slums, although there is also deception and betrayal, but it is the most basic truth that the fist has a big voice and the right to speak, the weak who have no strength will obediently clamp their tails and be people, they are all rats living in the slums, they can be deceived for a while, but they can't be deceived for a lifetime!

There is no need for too many complicated human feelings, and the feelings will become very simple and direct in the environment where the lowest class of people in the slum capital live, ruthless is ruthless, love is love!

In particular, Filut took in a group of orphans by chance, and from them, Filut can clearly feel that it is not mixed with the slightest utilitarianism and scheming is definitely the most simple gratitude. And when some of the older children, after finding barely able to make ends meet, tried to help her take care of her younger siblings, instead of clarifying their relationship with her, Filut couldn't have been happier.

"Don't blame me for not passing on the thief's skills to you! I really don't want you to go down my path that is doomed to a bad end? Filut shook her head and pulled some of her nonsensical thoughts back to reality, the most important thing for her now was to think about how to get out at this time, instead of thinking about her last words in her heart!

Yes, at this time, Filute's heart has gradually been filled with despair, and the reason is because at this time, the street in front of Filute is used as the final means of escape, and the street with constant flow of people on weekdays is actually under martial law at this time!

Looking at the sparse pedestrians on the street, as well as the three-step, one-post, five-step, and one-sentry check, Filut understood that if she dared to go down at this time, she would definitely be blocked by the chasing soldiers who followed!

"It looks like I've been a thief for so long, and the god of fate has finally decided to stop favoring me!" After observing it for a while, Filut smiled bitterly and muttered to herself, because she had already understood what was happening to her now with her familiarity with the various underground forces in the royal capital.

"It's the Earl of the Black Hand? It looks like another mercenary from the mercenary group has rebelled against Baron Hogan! Looking at this posture, the woman who is going to be arrested this time is also very powerful, and she actually let the Black Hand Count send so many people but they didn't catch it. I just don't know if Baron Hogan, who is making trouble everywhere, has been seriously injured this time like last time? ”

At a glance, she analyzed the general situation, and it was not that Filut had mastered any prophecy ability, but a speculation based on the various rumors she had overheard in the royal capital over the years and the various dark forces she knew about the behavior style of the royal capital.

However, even if the purpose of the street closure was speculated, it was obvious that the current situation of Filut had not changed much, because the group of people who were chasing her had already fanned towards her at this time!

Watching a large number of soldiers in light armor rushing out of the alley next to his target street, while the Black Hand Count's people and the group of soldiers turned a blind eye as if they existed in two worlds, Filut, who hoped that the members of the Black Hand Count would be able to clash with this group of city defenders and find a chance to escape, finally gave up completely.

However, although Filut has given up on her final escape plan, it does not mean that she will be caught. Before he could be discovered, Filut fled directly on the roof of the house in the direction of the other side, the only place that was not blocked by the pursuers.

The Pure Land in the Royal Capital, the Forbidden Land for Criminals!

This is the nickname for Alice Street, which has recently been popularized in the royal capital.

A few months ago, that street was still a very ordinary street, but in just a few months, with a large number of criminals disappearing in that street, gradually all the criminals began to subconsciously stay away from that terrifying street, and even recently there were no criminals on that street at all.

Because of this, the royal capital gradually called Alice Street the pure land in the royal capital.

If this kind of Pure Land had been a thief and had not taken the initiative to steal, Filut would have tried his best to bring his younger siblings to live in it.

In any case, no matter how simple life in the slum is, it is full of the jungle, where can it be more comfortable than living in the street called the Pure Land?

But now Filut stayed away from that street, because she knew that no matter how much she suffered, she still had to bear the identity of a criminal, not to mention that there was now a badge in her arms that emitted faint magical fluctuations.

Yes, this badge inlaid with exquisite gems and obviously attached to some kind of mysterious magic is the stolen goods that Filut has just stolen, and it is also because Filut accidentally heard a secret of unknown magnitude when stealing this badge, and she was hunted down by a large number of city defense troops!

And with the perception of danger cultivated by several near-deaths, Firut even felt that these city guards were actually just a front, and the real killers were hiding in the shadows at this time, waiting for an opportunity to stab a dagger coated with poison into her heart!

"Fight!" Standing on the border of Alice Street, Filut gritted her teeth and took that step, but the various horrors that could have happened in the imagination did not happen, the street was still the same street, and the house was still the same house.

The only difference from the outside world is that the pedestrians on this street give people a very quiet and peaceful feeling, probably because they live in a world far away from sin - because the prestige of the Pure Land in the royal capital is too prominent, it seems that there was once a noble child of a very high status who disappeared on this street, so although the Pure Land in the royal capital has only been famous for a few months, it has completely become a world without sin.

Even Filut, who had heard all kinds of rumors, knew that in order to find the missing noble child, the Talaya Kingdom even invited the legendary Rank Protector Sword Venerable, who had lived in seclusion for many years, to come here to check, but in the end, instead of finding the missing noble child, the Sword Venerable ordered all the investigations about the missing noble child to stop after a little investigation, and at the same time specially warned everyone present not to set foot in this area if it is okay.

To be admonished by the adjective "10 million" by the Protector Sword Venerable, who is said to be the cornerstone of China, how terrifying will the existence of this Alice Street cause a series of disappearances?

Just thinking about it made Filut's heart pound, and if it weren't for the pursuers behind her getting closer and closer, she really wanted to turn around and never go near this neighborhood again!

But now that you're in, let's rush over as fast as you can!

After a little recollection of her memories of Alice Street a few months ago, Filut decided not to get close to the center of the street, but to use an arc along the roof to cross the entire street.

If you're lucky, I'm sure the pursuers and killers will give up the chase after seeing them enter Alice Street, and instead limit her range of movement from the outside of Alice Street by a roundabout way on both sides - the killer must be the perpetrator, and he will definitely find death when he enters here! And not all of the city guards are good birds, I'm afraid they have done more evil things than the criminals they have captured!

And this will give Filut the best chance to escape!

However, the owner of the lost property was clearly more powerful than Filut had expected, and although many soldiers did not dare to approach Alice Street, more soldiers came from all sides, and Filut found that the streets behind Alice Street and on the side were soon occupied by the city guards wearing armor and wielding bright swords.

Although Filut, who was moving quickly on the roof at this time, had not yet revealed her figure by using the hidden skills of various thieves, it seemed that the time when she was discovered was not far away!

"We can't go on like this, if we keep running, they'll definitely find out soon!"

Filut knew in her heart that it would be terrible if she continued like this, because she had already seen that there were many more archers in the city guards, and even saw magicians in magic robes under the cover of the city guards!

"Looks like we're in trouble this time! Even the Master Mage was dispatched, and so many in one go! "Filut was in complete despair at this point.

"Farewell, brothers and sisters! You must take care of yourselves! Filut quietly touched his hand to the back of his waist, where he had a dagger for self-defense, although it was difficult to kill, but it was more than enough to kill himself!

Filut had long heard of the cruel punishments and insults inflicted on the women who had been taken into prison, and she didn't want to suffer the most painful torture in the world before she was killed!

But just when Filut wanted to just cut herself off, she suddenly noticed that there was a place on Alice Street where a large crowd was gathering at this time.

It's not the crowd of chasing soldiers, that's the hope of getting out!

Without saying a word, Filut descended to the ground along the junction between the two buildings, and then approached the crowd with a slight guard but a relatively natural look.

Then Filut easily learned from the small talk of the group of aunts and aunts with children why they had gathered here.

Originally, it was a general goods store, but although it was a general store, the best-selling items were the dolls and toys in the store.

Of course, it's not a mistake to say that it is a bestseller, because this shop is very eccentric, the dolls in it are only rented and not sold, and the rental price is extremely cheap, and you can play for a week for only five copper coins!

However, once the rented doll is damaged, then it is natural to compensate according to the price, and the price of a single doll is much more expensive than the outside world, even a gold coin, and this also makes the parents of the rental doll repeatedly tell their children not to break the doll.

For this strange business model, the parents of children on Alice Street and nearby neighborhoods naturally felt very strange at first, but after someone calculated an account, they found that although the income of this rental method is not high, it is a trickle, and once someone damages the dolls, they will get much more compensation than selling dolls alone, so gradually, everyone also understands the business philosophy of this weird grocery store.

And today, it is the day when the new batch of dolls in this store is open for rent. In order to let their children play with new dolls, aunts and aunts all took time to gather at the door with their children, waiting for the store to open and prepare to pick a fun doll for their children.

"Dolls?" Filut felt a trace of envy and longing in her heart, but she soon forcibly forgot this longing into the depths of her heart, because Filut knew that she was not qualified to yearn for the ordinary child's ordinary life but extremely happy in Filute's eyes!

Filut, who has been an orphan since she was a child, begging for a living, was forced to train as a pickpocket after being caught, and worked hard all day long to be able not to go hungry, and finally worshipped a thief as a teacher, but was used by him and almost died, and finally escaped into the royal capital to become a snitch, Filut understands that with her current situation, she is not qualified and has time to dream of other children her age.

However, I thought that I had heard that girls like to play with dolls, so Filut, who had just planned to take the opportunity to get out, straightened out her slightly messy clothes and planned to follow the crowd to see what the dolls in this store looked like.

Although Filut had long ceased to think of herself as a child, deep down, she still longed for the day when she could play happily like any other child.

So at this time, she was also full of curiosity and eagerness for the dolls rented in this store.

"I don't steal it, I just look at it, it shouldn't matter, right?" Cheering up her actions, Filut finally followed the crowd into the grocery store.

It was just that when she just stepped into the door of this grocery store, Filut felt a flower in front of her, and the crowd that was obviously around her just now disappeared in an instant, and at the same time, she found that she was not standing in a grocery store full of all kinds of goods, but on a ground composed of countless gray-white strange limbs!

"Welcome! Perpetrator! ”

Following the prestige, Filut was shocked to find a sweet and cute little girl in a pink princess dress with blond hair standing not far from her.

"Are you here to ruin Alice's peaceful life?" The little girl looked up and raised her right hand to point at Filut as she asked the question.

And at this time, Filut was surprised to find that the wrist hidden under the sleeve of this cute little princess turned out to be a ball joint!

Although Filut had never seen what intact dolls looked like, she had seen dolls that had been discarded and broken to the point of not being in shape, and the joints of those dolls were such spherical joints!

"You're a puppet?!" Filut exclaimed, and then immediately covered her mouth with her hand in great regret, for she feared that the exclamation would anger the harmless little doll in front of her.

Although the cute doll did not seem to be vicious at all, Filut's sense of danger reminded her again and again: "Run! Dangerous! ”

However, in this strange space, if you want to escape, what direction should you flee?

Soon, Filut didn't have to worry about it, because as the cute little doll shot a colorful light at her with her emotionless eyes, Filut felt that her perspective began to decline, first looking down at the little doll, then looking up, and finally looking up...... (To be continued.) )
