In the dark room, Graves leaned quietly against the edge of the table, watching the moonlight spread out of the window. The room had a large window, from which one could see half of Pierwaterf, and the moon-white light shining through the window illuminated the floor, making the room black and white. Halfway through the shadows, the bearded man pulled out a lighter with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Smack."

The orange-yellow firelight lit his cheeks and lit the cigarette butt, and the spark of the stars slowly burned the tobacco in the paper tube, giving off a strong nicotine smell.

"Whew." White cigarettes spat out from the corners of his mouth, slowly condensing into a cloud of smoke.

Here is the compartment on the top of Pierwaterf's bell tower, and here the windows look out onto a luxurious five-story building not far away, the Orr Bank. At this time, the bank is still brightly lit and looks dazzling at night.

"How much longer?" Graves whispered in a gruff voice, "Are you sure you won't, this bastard thing." ”

"I want you to give me a little bit of trust." In another corner of the attic, a man in a black cloak sat on a tool table in the corner, silently disassembling rune conductors. In her hands, a faint light of black runes flickered.

In the afternoon, after Graves gave the conductor to Anchen, he bluntly proposed that he could not fully trust Anchen, so he hoped that Anchen could crack the spatial circuit in front of him. This condition is understandable, after all, the cooperation between Anchen and Graves has no stable relationship basis at all. In this case, Graves' vigilance is not entirely unacceptable, or it can be said to be reasonable.

In the plan, Graves would burst in from the front to attract commotion and attention, delaying the police, while Anchen was responsible for sneaking in quickly, taking the money and leaving. The requirement is that when Anchen withdraws money, he must use the space ring provided by Graves, and he can only throw money into it, but Anchen can't take it out. And before starting, Graves will ask to check if Anchen is carrying other space props.

According to such a plan, Graves had to fully reconnoiter the terrain before starting the operation, so that he could get rid of the police by then. So, he found the Bell Tower of Picheng, where he could get the most direct view of the streets and routes near the Orr Bank.

So Anchen could only work together in this bell tower for an afternoon, plus half a night, and it was already more than ten o'clock.

"Anyway, can't you give me a better environment?" Anchen smelled the smoke all over the room, and scratched his hair in distress: "I'm half a technician now, can I ask for an increase in treatment or something." ”

"Am I not here too?" Absent-mindedly replying, Graves drew a cross on the map on the table in front of him, and once again vetoed a route. This one doesn't work either, although there are enough roadblocks and a lot of traffic, but there are many high platforms and sniper points around. Hmph, it's really troublesome to have a hero sniper.

I can see that you don't care about what I say at all! An Chen complained fiercely in his heart, and continued to focus on the spatial conductor in his hand. Although she has spatial skills and can often sense the existence of space, she is not too sure about cracking what is in front of her. Originally, I wanted to steal it back and rely on Catherine's team to crack it together, but now it's not easy to do.

"Can I take this thing home and study it, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep." An Chen rubbed his somewhat sore eyes and asked. Although she was a thief and a night owl who didn't sleep in the middle of the night, the highly concentrated mental work made her tired even faster, and she was already a little sleepy at ten o'clock.

Graves glanced at Anchen and shook his head: "No." ”

“ri。” An Chen scolded in a low voice, and helplessly picked up the detection needle at hand and pressed it against the corner of the conductor, testing the law of rune flow.

After staring at Anchen for a while, Graves impatiently took out a box of cigarettes from his coat pocket, shook one out and handed it to Anchen: "Do you want it?" ”

Anchen doesn't like to smoke, although when she used to be a killer, she inevitably encountered some special situations that needed this kind of prop, but to be honest, she didn't like this taste, but sometimes she would smoke one or two, such as high pressure, or sleepiness.

After thinking about it for a while, Anchen took one and clamped it in his hand: "Borrow a fire." "Tobacco helps to refresh or relax.

"Smack." The flame ignited the cigarette in Anchen's hand, and then dimmed again.

Here is a word that smoking is harmful to health, like the author, I never smoke.

Graves withdrew the lighter, glanced at Anchen's hand, the fingers were long, the skin was very fair, with a soft beauty, and said jokingly: "Thief, your hands are well maintained, whiter than a woman's hand." ”

"Ahem." An Chen choked, the cigarette placed in his mouth almost fell to the ground, touched his nose, and said embarrassedly: "After all, I eat by my hands." ”

Shrugging his shoulders undeniably, Graves turned and continued to look at the night view of Leather City. His face was reflected in the glass of the window, and the little flames burning.

"Graves, you said you're going to gamble after this time?" An Chen controlled the power of the runes, and said with a little spirit: "Who are you looking for?" The gambling capital of 10,000 gold coins is the biggest gamble on Valoran. ”

Valoran's biggest gamble? Forget it, after all, it's not just the gold coins that are blocked, but also the lives of two people. Graves flicked the ash of his cigarette: "I'm going to find a friend of mine whom I met when I was younger. ”

"Then your way of communicating is really peculiar." An Chen laughed, can friends still open such a big gamble, what kind of friends do they have to be, two hardcore gamblers?

"It's very peculiar." Graves nodded, drew another route on the paper, and was ready to consider: "We met at the card table, and that kid was caught in front of me at the time. ”

Saying that, there was a look of reminiscence in his eyes: "The same deception of mine was also exposed by him, and then we joined forces to cheat on the mainland, you may not believe it, we deceived almost anywhere on the mainland." We had a tacit understanding and never quarreled over the distribution of the coins, and I always thought he was the most understanding person in the world and the only person I could trust until he betrayed me. ”

"You know what?" Graves hooked the corners of his mouth: "He believes in fate." As he spoke, he touched the shotgun on his back: "And my gun is called that." ”

"What about you?" Anchen looked at Graves with raised eyes: "Do you believe it?" ”

"I don't believe in anything." The ash burned out, and Graves threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and stepped on it.

I don't believe in anything······ Anchen looked at Graves weakly.

Well? Suddenly, An Chen's brows furrowed, and she put the cigarette in her mouth, and she felt a trace of space transmitted from the detection needle. This is very crucial, just like solving a problem, often whether you can get the final answer depends on whether you can grasp that fleeting inspiration.

Grasping this trace, you may be able to find the direction of the entire rune circuit.

Graves sat on the side, also quiet, and looked at Anchen quietly with his arms crossed. He didn't know what was going on, but he knew that Anchen was not suitable for chatting right now.

The attic only echoed with the unique sound of the bell tower, and it was still for a second.
