Chapter 339: A Thief
Vera stopped, she raised her head, and her black and white eyes reflected the figure of Belmode: "Do you know this man?" ”
"Miss Vera, this is ......"
Tearing off the paper and handing it to Belmode, Vera said, "This is some image of the future that I saw, and I can see fragments like this occasionally." The ability of the thread of fate only allows me to see people or things that concern me, but the timing of the episode is always vague. This man will steal the loom for an unknown purpose, even the time is not clear to me. Probably in a few days, maybe in a few years. ”
"I'm willing to bet it's going to find out soon, because this guy is in town right now." Belmode patted his head: "I'm going to find Edward now, I have to have someone spy on him." No, I'll do it myself. ”
After saying that, she ran out with the drawing paper, and Lucy, who was not far away, looked up and looked at Vera again, and finally focused on her deception box.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and it was time for a cotton spinning factory in the east of the city to get off work, and the workers were leaving one after another. This is a factory owned by Sean, a big businessman in the city, and thanks to the use of semi-automatic looms, the production efficiency of the factory has increased several times. Although the workers' time is the same as in the past, the output and income are not the same as they used to be. Once the trade with Violet Harbor is smooth, the factory will be expanded. As for now, it is still on the same scale.
After the workers left, the lights went out in the shed, and a night watchman took a flask and pulled a chair to sit down behind the open door. A dog lies next to him, his most faithful companion, and will spend the long night with him.
As time passed, the night watchman yawned and brought a blanket to cover himself. After a while, his series of snoring sounds were already heard in the factory. At this moment, the dog's ears on the ground moved, and suddenly a sausage rolled in through the gap under the door. The sausage also exudes heat and has an attractive aroma. The dog's saliva flowed, and he opened his mouth and ate the sausage into his stomach.
The dog didn't notice that there were other flavors in the sausage. Not long after, the dog suddenly foamed at the mouth, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground and gradually convulsed. The poor dog had fallen into the arms of death, and in its unfocused eyes there was a thin figure.
A man crept in through the crack in the door, glancing first at the dog on the ground, and then at the night watchman, who was sleeping soundly. He pulled out a blackened dagger in his hand, and after a moment's hesitation, he let the night watchman go and walked towards the depths of the shed.
A moment later, he was standing in front of a loom. The man opened his tunic open, and the inner layer of the garment was covered with all kinds of tools.
In his sleep, the night watchman rolled over, not noticing the dead dog at his feet, or the loom missing from the shed. The missing machine, now a pile of parts, is stacked on the floor at a window behind the shed. The man slid out of the window, and when he fell to the ground, he scurried into the shadows of the corner.
It wasn't long before he came in with a bucket truck loaded with rusty parts. The man mixed in the parts of the loom, covered it with a tarp, and was about to leave.
Suddenly, the whistle on the street corner sounded, and the originally dim street lit up www.biquge.info fire, and the city defense team emerged from the darkness like ghosts, and the muzzles of their guns were pointed at the men. Mato strode out with a torch and said to the man in a deep voice: "Mr. Ollie, I suspect that you have stolen important industrial secrets of this city, and now I want to arrest you, I hope you will cooperate!" ”
Ollie, who was exposed to the firelight, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he smiled bitterly: "Sir, there must be some misunderstanding here. See, these are just scrap products to be disposed of. They shouldn't be any secrets, right? ”
He carefully uncovered the tarp, for fear of a misunderstanding that would lead to an attack. There were rusty parts in the bucket cart, but unfortunately what he had done just now had fallen into Mato's eyes. Mato said expressionlessly: "Is it a misunderstanding, just make it clear to us when you go back to the city defense team." Let's go, Mr. Ollie. ”
With a wave of their hands, several soldiers stepped forward. Ollie reluctantly said, "Okay, I'll go back with you." ”
The raised hand made a gesture that it would not resist, and the two soldiers had just relaxed before their hands touched Ollie's shoulder. An engraving suddenly appeared on the left side of Ollie's cheek. It was a face with closed eyes, and the lines of the face shone with a dark purple light. Suddenly, the light in the surrounding space dimmed, and the light of the torches did not play the slightest role in illuminating the light like fluorescent light, and a rich black enveloped the whole audience.
Ma Tuo knew that it was going to be bad, but his vision was dark and he did not dare to let the soldiers shoot, so as not to be injured by mistake. By the time the light came back to light, Ollie had left the bucket cart and didn't know where to flee.
"The gates are closed, and he can't escape. Search me, search every corner to find this damn rat! Mato shouted.
The city guards soon left, and shortly after they left, Ollie crept out of the shed window. He was very clever and did not hide anywhere else, but hid in the factory. It was indeed a blind spot in Mato's mind, and the captain did not expect this thief to be so bold.
Ollie snorted and pulled up the bucket cart to leave, when a round of applause erupted.
"Who is it?" Ollie said in a deep voice.
A man's voice behind him said, "It's so wonderful, I actually deceived Mato." Kira is right, you're a professional thief, and you're pretty clever. ”
Ollie turned and looked up, and there was a man standing on the shed. He leapt forward and landed on the ground, the man standing loosely and straddle, but in Ollie's senses, it seemed as if he could attack from any angle at any time. His danger overwhelmed everyone in the city defense team just now.
"Do you know Kira?" Ollie asked casually.
"Okay, don't waste everyone's time." The man shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm still in a hurry to go back to sleep, so you see, it's better to tie your hands and arrest it." I think Edward would be happy to know where you're from. ”
"Really? It's a pity you can't catch me. The engraving on Ollie's face reappeared, and the light around him dimmed again.
As the light dimmed, a dagger flashed in Ollie's hand, and he rushed forward, intending to deal with the man.
Belmode shook his head and smiled, "Obviously, you chose an extremely bad answer. ”
Then there was a dense exchange of fires in the darkness, and Ollie exclaimed first, followed by a scream. The light gradually returned, but Ollie had fallen to the ground. He had been stabbed multiple times in his hands and feet, and Belmode swung a pitch-black short blade, which had just picked out the thief's tendons and tendons, and made him unable to move. Looking at Ollie again, his eyes were full of fear as he looked at Belmode.
"Darkness is the best companion for a killer. Doesn't it seem ridiculous that you use darkness against me? ”
Ollie couldn't laugh anymore.
By the time he was thrown into Edward's office, he was ready to cry. Edward looked at the thief with interest, crouched down and said, "Sue me, who instructed you?" ”
Ollie gritted his teeth, Edward sighed, and said to Belmode next to him, "I have wandered on many planets before, and the most I have seen are slave traders of various races. You have to admit that these guys know a lot more about slaves. Every life has weaknesses, some are afraid of water, some are afraid of fire. And human beings, most of them are afraid of pain......"
Edward pulled out a silver knife from under the table, which was usually used to scrape off wax marks from envelopes. With the knife in hand, Edward tore off a thin slice of flesh from Ollie's arm. Ollie couldn't help but scream, and Edward smiled like a demon, "This kind of injury is not fatal to you, but it will hurt. And now, I'm going to slowly cut off the flesh from you little by little until you can say it. ”
Then a second knife was swung out.
Ollie's backbone had already vanished by the time Edward swung his fifth sword, and he screamed, "I say, I'll tell you everything." It was Sir Maud, yes, it was his idea, he wanted to get the loom of Kross! ”
"Oh, you know even the names very well. Then tell me, who gave him the information? ”
Ollie summoned all he knew, and he was supposed to be one of Maude's son, Joey's men. After Latis told Maud about the loom, Joey summoned him to Sur to steal something. Of course, it would not be possible to do this if it was just Ollie, so Sir Maud issued a bounty on the adventurers, which caused a large number of adventurers to flood the city.
As for Ollie, he caught up with Kira's gang. used their identities to cover themselves, and also mixed in.
Looking at the man with tears and snot running down the ground, Edward threw the bloodied silver knife into the trash. At this time, Mato, who rushed to hear the news, looked at the thief on the ground and stepped forward to ask, "My lord, what are you going to do with him?" ”
"Of course it's execution, do you need to ask? Remember to show his corpse to the public, and tell the adventurers that they had deceived the old fox of Maude. Edward said nonchalantly.
When Ollie heard this, he immediately cursed. Mato raised the butt of his rifle and struck him on the head, knocking him unconscious and dragging him down.
In the darkness of the moment before dawn, a loud gunshot rang out in the city of Sur, causing many adventurers who were still in their dreams to break out in a cold sweat. When the day came, someone dared to go out into the street, and in the square in front of the city lord's mansion, he saw Ollie, whose body was hanging in public, and the man's face immediately became quite ugly. As more and more people learned about Ollie's incident, there were already adventurers ready to leave, but Sir Maud's high bounty still made many people stay.
Among them are Kira and her companions. R1058
