This Text Adventure Game is Totally Poisonous

Chapter 283 The Mask of the Phantom Thief

"Strange thief? Isn't this guy imprisoned on the fifth floor?" Mu You was puzzled.

Among the information he eavesdropped on Beizu Island yesterday was a piece about the strange thief Fan Lun Justin.

It is said that this person has just been caught. It seems that he was captured by some bounty hunter and entered the bottom of the submarine prison.

How can a person who has been imprisoned forever come out and steal things?

Or, like him, this person also escaped from prison, and now he can move freely in the prison...

"Appointment letter..."

Mu You frowned and looked at the prompt in the text, clicked on the text of 'Hunger Gem', and tried to take the gem out of the game.

As a result, a prompt pops up: [The item is locked, and the plane cannot be transferred. 】

Then he tried to store it in the backpack, the space ring, and bind the gems.

The results all prompt: [The item is locked and cannot be operated. 】

"It's kind of amazing!"

Mu You also had to say a word of admiration.

This person's ability is very interesting. The items he likes will have many restrictions. They cannot be hidden or transferred, and the location will be known by the other party at any time, even if they want to use the teleportation array to take them to other places.

It can be said that the difficulty of stealing things locked by the notice letter will be greatly reduced! Of course, since the notice letter was issued, the other party would not show up before the scheduled time for the theft. This thing is safe for the time being.

No matter what, Mu You still doesn't know the level and strength of this strange thief. In short, let's make some defensive preparations first.

Mu You manipulated the character to leave the cell, found a relatively remote passage on the fourth floor, and began to set traps on the ground.

Now the prison time should be around 5:20, and the comfort period on the fourth floor will end at 7:00.

This person deliberately set the time for the theft to be an hour later, and then counting the half-hour theft time, it was 6:50, and there was still ten minutes of escape time, which was just enough to complete the whole set of theft operations within the comfortable period.

But this also means that this strange thief can't ignore the extremely cold and extremely hot environment on the fourth floor, and he only dares to go out during comfortable periods.

And this is Mu You's advantage. His vampire skin can survive on the fourth floor. If it is confirmed that he can't beat the opponent later, then find a way to delay the time until after seven o'clock, and the fourth floor will be destroyed. become his home.

In fact, Mu You has a more comfortable way, which is to go directly to the third floor.

The poisonous gas on the third layer is the most powerful, covering 24 hours, and it is his home field all day.

But Mu You thought about it and still didn't do it, mainly because he was afraid that the strange thief would not dare to show up after he found out that he could survive on the third floor.

The other party had the idea of ​​his gemstone, but Mu You also had some ideas about the strange thief's skin.

'Strange Thief' sounds like it should be a high-level skin, and the low-level skins of this type of thief should be all thieves, right?

He also has a 'Holy Stealer Glove' on hand, which needs the Thief's skin as a front.

Since this man came to his door, it was time to try to see if he could get the skin out of his body.

[You are opposite cell No. 4879, and you have laid out a large number of traps, and hidden the Hunger Gem in the trap array. 】

After making the trap well, and ensuring that the gems will be stepped on the trap first, Mu You sees that the time is almost up, and makes the character invisible nearby, ready to wait for the rabbit.

From time to time, the text reminds that there are patrolling octopus soldiers passing by, but the traps set by Muyou are relatively remote and will not be stepped on by these octopuses.

After waiting for a while, when it was exactly an hour before receiving the notice letter in the game, several brand new texts popped up.

[You see the trap buttons in front of you are suddenly triggered continuously, breaking out five invisible figures. These five figures have the same appearance, no difference can be seen from the appearance, they are entangled in the trap, and they are still moving towards the center of the trap...]

Five people exploded at once, it must be the main body plus the clone!

Mu You shot decisively.

[You throw the chain claw towards the first figure. 】

[The chain claw hits and retracts quickly. You stabbed the person with one claw, but caused an abnormally large amount of damage, and the figure disappeared instantly. Obviously, this is just a clone of a summoned object! 】

The first tick was wrong, but it doesn't matter, there is enough error tolerance if you have a pocket watch.

[Time flies, you go back to five seconds ago. 】

[You throw the chain claw towards the second figure. 】

[The chain claw hits and retracts quickly. You stabbed someone with your claws, causing a little damage, and blood gushed out from the figure. Obviously, this one is the opponent's body! 】

Fortunately, the second hook hit the real body.

At the moment of confirming the main body, the opponent's information also appeared in the crystal of omniscience.

[Fan Lun Justin (Level 19): Strength 35, Dexterity 87, Intelligence 45, Constitution 24, HP 5400, Mana 9500. The new thief, who inherited the will of the sea thief Patty Wright, started his career in recent years and quickly emerged among the pirates. Acting style, gradually enjoy the title of "monster thief". 】

At level 19, the attribute is also one notch higher than the general level 19, but fortunately it does not exceed level 20, and there is only one level of suppression for Mu You, which is acceptable.

Mu You was about to use the first-mover advantage to quickly and seriously injure the opponent, but at this moment, a new reminder came from the text.

[You used the throat lock tongue on the figure in front of you, and swiped your claws again to stab the opponent. 】

【However, you only feel a blur in front of your eyes, and the figure in your hand seems to have changed. Your claws stabbed the opponent, causing abnormally high damage, and the figure in your hand disappeared instantly. 】

【Obviously, what you stabbed was the avatar. 】

"Ok?"

Mu You stared blankly, didn't he remind you to grab the main body just now, why did you become a clone again? Could it be that this person's main body and avatar can switch automatically?

【You look up, in the trap formation ahead, a figure has broken through the encirclement, and picked up the hidden gem. 】

[Your hunger gem was stolen by the strange thief Fan Lun! 】

[After succeeding, the main body of the phantom thief Fan Lun and the remaining three avatars all retreated outward. Do you want to pursue it? 】

"Pursuit!"

This must be chased. Is it okay to let the other party take the gems for nothing?

[You choose to chase and kill the opponent. 】

[You caught up to the four figures in front of you faster than you thought, but just when you were about to attack, you saw the four figures in front of you stop in unison, turn around and quickly surround you, and launch attack! 】

This strange thief's agility value was much higher than his, and Mu You was worried that he might not be able to catch up with the other party if he ran away.

It turned out that he was thinking too much, the other party didn't want to run away at all, and even planned to seduce him to kill him, probably because he exposed the chain claws just now, which made the other party greedy again.

[Facing the opponent's siege, you are also ready to fight back. However, just when you were about to start the battle, you suddenly heard the footsteps of the octopus soldiers coming from the corner ahead. 】

[The strange thief and his three clones immediately retreated to the wall, and soon fell into a state of invisibility after standing still. your choice……】

[Ignore the jailer and continue to attack], [Take the opportunity to escape], [Pause the battle and enter stealth].

"Pause the battle and enter stealth."

At this time, a patrol came over. Both of them belonged to the escape personnel. The other party didn't want the octopus soldiers to find out, and neither did he.

This strange thief also seems to have a deep stealth method. At this time, Mu You can only choose to hide first like him, and continue to fight after the octopuses leave.

[Both you and the strange thief fell into invisibility, and the passage became quiet. 】

[A group of octopus soldiers turned around the corner and paraded towards your position. Fortunately, they didn't notice your existence, and walked right past you. 】

【You watched the octopuses turn around the corner on the other side one by one and disappear into the passage. They haven't gone far, and now they can take the initiative, but the movement of the fight may also be noticed by the octopuses, should they shoot immediately? 】

Mu You directly clicked on 'Silence' and 'Arcane Missile' on the panel, and then selected 'Dark Realm' in the black magic column.

[You released the silence spell, eliminating all the sounds around you. 】

[Under the cover of the silent spell, you took the lead in launching the attack. Three arcane missiles were fired, and the three invisible figures on the opposite side were automatically smashed out. 】

[You released the Dark Realm, and the environment around you automatically entered the midnight state and became pitch black. 】

[The severe cold wind quickly blows through the passage, and a large amount of frost is like ice knives, whizzing towards all the creatures in this passage. 】

[In the extremely cold temperature, your health began to decline rapidly. 】

[In the extremely cold temperature, the opponent's health began to decline more rapidly. 】

...

Mu You's trump card for daring to be tough with the opponent is this trick of 'Dark Realm'.

In the midnight state, his vampire skin bonus can be instantly increased to 100%. After doubling the four-dimensional attributes, his attributes become: strength 44, agility 88, intelligence 132, constitution 61, completely crushing the opponent in terms of attributes .

Moreover, the midnight state also activates the special effects on the fourth floor of the prison. When the night is darkest, it is also the time when the extreme cold on the fourth floor reaches its strongest.

In this extremely harsh environment, both sides are bleeding, but he has the survival of the fittest, the blood loss rate is much slower than the opponent, and he will not die from the cold.

It can be said that this dark space is his home field, even if the opponent is five levels higher than him, Mu You is not afraid at all.

[During the howling of frost, you released the Snowball Curse, and the strong wind blew. 】

[The electric arc sword wraps your sharp claws, and you use the skills of elf fighting to fight close to the opponent...]

[The strange thief soon discovered that the attributes were completely suppressed by you, and as his injuries rapidly increased, he took the lead in retreating, but instead of running away, he quickly chanted a spell and released a dark spell on you. 】

[The raging and familiar magic power condenses in the opponent's hand, and a dark flame dragon quickly takes shape in the opponent's hand, and bites towards you. You couldn't dodge in time, and you were caught by the Dark Flame Dragon, and your health was dropping rapidly...]

[In the blink of an eye, you were bitten by the Dark Flame Dragon and became seriously injured and on the verge of death. But the familiar fluctuations fed back by the secret technique crystallization remind you that the other party seems to be using a black magic! 】

"Black magic?" Mu You frowned.

Does this person still use black magic? Is he also a mystic? Or, he used just ordinary black magic.

If it was ordinary black magic, wouldn't he be afraid of losing control?

The opponent's black magic damage was extremely high, which instantly reversed the advantage he had gained by relying on the dark world. Before he had time to think, Mu You decisively pressed his pocket watch.

[Time flies, go back to five seconds ago. 】

【You saw that the other party began to chant again and used black magic on you...】

At this time, Mu You could actually think of a way to interrupt, but he didn't do so because he was curious about how the other party was going to deal with the out-of-control situation.

[The opponent's black magic was successfully used again, and the Dark Flame Dragon emerged...]

"Backtrack!"

【...You saw that the other party started singing again, and successfully summoned the Dark Flame Dragon...】

"Backtrack!"

...

Mu You guarded the text, as long as the other party succeeded in casting a spell, he would immediately backtrack.

Vivienne said that it is impossible to achieve a 100% success rate in black magic. No matter how talented a person is, he can at most practice a certain black magic to a 99% success rate. Sooner or later he will lose control!

Sure enough, after going back more than sixty times, the text finally changed.

[As time goes by, the strange thief in the distance once again casts a spell on you, but after singing, the spell did not take shape. There is an abnormality in the operation of the opponent's natural magic power, and the surging black magic power explodes in the opponent's body. You can see a large number of sucker-shaped tumors appearing on the surface of the monster thief, and they are expanding rapidly...]

coming!

What Mu You was waiting for was this moment, when the other party got out of playing black magic and fell into a loss of control, he hurriedly stared at the text, ready to take a good look at how the other party would deal with the out of control state.

However, the text that followed surprised him.

[During the surge of black air, you noticed a flash of light and shadow between the out-of-control Phantom Thief and a clone next to him, and something seemed to have changed on both sides. 】

[The next moment, the strange thief was completely swallowed by the black air, but burst like a bubble, and disappeared into the air together with those out-of-control tumor growths. 】

"It turned out to be a transfer!"

Mu You immediately understood that this strange thief is actually unable to deal with losing control at all, but the other party has a special ability: the main body can be switched to other clones at any time!

It is also because of this ability that the other party dares to use black magic so recklessly. Even if they accidentally lose control, they can use the avatar to avoid losing control.

However, the premise of doing this is that there must be clones around.

Knowing the opponent's ability, Mu You knew how to deal with this person.

[Of the remaining three phantom thieves, one of them suddenly chanted the same spell at you again...]

As expected, this guy didn't give up. He probably thought it was pure luck that he bumped into that 1% loss of control just now, and turned around and started to release black magic again.

Mu You felt that as a genuine heir of a mystic, it was necessary for him to fully understand the dangers of black magic at this moment.

【...After the monster thief chanted, the spell failed again. 】

[The raging black magic power exploded in the opponent's body, and a large number of sucker-shaped tumors emerged on the surface of the strange thief again, and they expanded rapidly...]

[In a burst of distorted magic power, both the Phantom Thief and the other clone next to him changed...]

This time it was a little bit wrong, and it took him more than two hundred times to go back and knock him out of control.

As expected, the opponent moved to the clone again.

Now that the opponent has only one clone left, Mu You thinks that the opponent has been hit twice in a row, so he will probably be more careful.

As a result, the other party still started singing with a single muscle.

"Why are you so stubborn..." Mu You was speechless secretly, it seemed that this person should have used black magic to deceive people before, and he was quite confident in his luck.

【...After the monster thief chanted, the spell failed for the third time. 】

[The raging black magic power erupted, and the strange thief hurriedly transferred to the new clone, while looking at you in amazement. 】

[Failed to release black magic three times in a row, and finally made him realize that you might be playing tricks! 】

[The cold wind is howling, the icy curse of the night on the fourth floor is still in effect, and the life value of the strange thief is only 30% left. Instead of continuing to cast spells to fight you, he turned his head and started running away. 】

This guy finally knew to run away, but unfortunately it was a bit late. Long before the opponent lost control, Mu You controlled the character to rush towards the last clone, and immediately started attacking.

[Your bone-crushing knife hit the right leg of the strange thief, and the strange thief fell into a disabled state, and his movement speed was greatly reduced. 】

[With no hope of escaping, the strange thief had no choice but to turn around and fight with you. 】

[Phantom thief has the unique agility of thieves, with flexible movements and elegant figure, but your agility is not weaker than the opponent's. The speed of both of you is about the same. Significantly faster than you. 】

[Your sharp claws pierced the strange thief again, and his life value returned to zero first. 】

[You killed the strange thief Fan Lun Justin, experience +19, lifespan +1, get the thief's skin fragment*1, and found the 'dexterous boots' at the place where the other party died. 】

Finally, he successfully killed the opponent, got a skin fragment, and also revealed the equipment.

It seems that these stealing professions will always explode a piece of equipment after death, which is the price of being a thief.

In this case...

Mu You pressed the pocket watch again.

This dexterous boot is just a piece of excellent green equipment, and after finally killing the opponent once, the best one will definitely come out.

[Time flies, everything goes back to five seconds ago...]

[You killed the strange thief Fan Lun Justin again... and found the 'Assassin's Dagger' at the place where the opponent died. 】

"Backtrack!"

【...You found the 'Emerald Ring' at the place where the other party died. 】

...

Mu You has been backtracking, and there is no time to read the description of the things that exploded. He can only glance at the text color of the item through the text to simply judge the quality.

As a strange thief, this person should have stolen a lot of good equipment, but at this time there were not many good things that broke out from him. After going back seven or eight times, the highest-level props revealed were only green, and none above blue.

But when you think about Mu You, you will understand that the purpose of this guy's coming to the submarine prison is not pure. I'm afraid he was caught on purpose, and then he can easily escape from the prison through avatar conversion, and then he can steal unscrupulously here.

That being the case, he definitely wouldn't bring too precious equipment and props with him. After all, this kind of thing is extremely risky.

Thinking of this, Mu You guessed that he might not be able to get good equipment from the other party, so he continued to roll a few more times, planning to pop out the hunger gem first.

As a result, after he went back more than 30 times, the Hunger Gem hadn't appeared yet, but a golden word unexpectedly flashed in the text.

【...You found a 'Phantom Thief Mask' at the place where the other party died. 】

[Strange Thief Mask: Dexterity +20, Intelligence +10.

Attached ability "Replacement ghost": After activation, four substitute ghost clones are summoned, and you can descend on the substitute ghost clones within 100 meters near you at any time, and the equipment and props are automatically transferred. Can only be activated once per day. Only works when wearing the Phantom Thief skin. 】
