Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 339: A Thief

Vera stopped, she raised her head, and Belmode's figure was reflected in her black and white eyes: "Do you know this man?"

"Miss Vera, this is..."

Tearing off the drawing paper and handing it to Belmode, Vera said: "This is a certain future image I saw. I can occasionally see fragments like this. The ability of the thread of fate can only allow me to see clearly and I am concerned about someone or something, but the timing of the episodes is always vague. This man will steal the loom for unknown purposes, and I don't even know the time. Maybe in a few days, maybe in a few years after."

"I bet this matter will be found out soon, because this guy is in the city now." Belmode slapped his head: "I'm going to find Edward now, and I have to let someone monitor him. No, I will do it myself gone."

After speaking, she took the drawing paper and ran out. Not far away, Lucy raised her head, looked at Vera again, and finally focused on the box of deceit under her hands.

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 left one after another. This is a factory under Xiao En, a big businessman in the city. Thanks to the use of semi-automatic textile machines, the production efficiency of the factory has doubled several times. Workers are spending the same amount of time as ever, but not as productive and profitable. Once the business with Violet Harbor is successful, the factory will be expanded. As for now, it still maintains the previous scale.

After the workers left, the lights of the shed were turned off, and a night watchman carried a flagon, pulled a chair and sat down behind the open gate. Beside him lay a dog, his most faithful companion, who would be with him through the long night.

As time passed, the night watchman yawned and covered himself with a woolen blanket. Not long after, a series of his snores could be heard in the workshop. At this time, the dog lying on the ground moved its ears, and suddenly a sausage rolled in from the gap under the door. The sausage is still exuding heat and has a more attractive aroma. The dog salivated, and opened his mouth to eat the sausage in two or three bites.

The dog didn't notice that there were other flavors mixed in with the sausage. Not long after, the dog suddenly foamed at the mouth, rolled its eyes, fell to the ground and began to twitch gradually. The poor dog has fallen into the embrace of death, and a thin figure is reflected in its gradually out-of-focus eyes.

A man easily slipped in through the crack of the door, first glanced at the dog on the ground, and then at the sleeping night watchman. He took out a blacked-out dagger in his hand, and after a little hesitation, he let go of the night watchman and walked towards the depths of the factory shed.

A moment later, he was standing in front of a loom. The man opened his jacket, and on the inner layer of the clothes, all kinds of tools were hung.

In his deep sleep, the night watchman turned over, but he didn't notice the dead dog under his feet, and he didn't know that there was no loom in the factory shed. The missing machine has now become a pile of parts,

Stacked on the ground of a window behind the factory shed. The man flipped out of the window briskly. After he fell to the ground, he ducked into the shadow of the street corner.

Not long after, he pushed a bucket truck over, which also contained some rusty parts. The man mixed in the parts of the textile machine, covered it with a waterproof cloth, and planned to leave.

Suddenly whistles sounded on the corner of the street, and the originally dark street lit up with a little bit of fire. The city defense team came out of the darkness like a ghost, and pointed their bright guns at the man. Mato strode out with a torch, and said to the man in a deep voice: "Mr. Ollie, I suspect that you stole important industrial secrets of this city, and now I want to arrest you, I hope you cooperate!"

Ollie, who was exposed to the flames, had fine beads of sweat on his forehead. He smiled wryly, "Sir, there must be some misunderstanding. Look, these are just waste products to be disposed of. They shouldn't be classified as secrets, right?" ?”

He carefully removed the tarp, for fear of attracting misunderstanding and attack. Sure enough, there were some rusty parts in the truck, but what he did just now fell into Mato's eyes. Mato said blankly: "Is it a misunderstanding? Tell us to go back to the city defense team and you will understand. Let's go, Mr. Ollie."

After waving his hand, several soldiers stepped forward. Ollie said helplessly, "Okay, I'll go back with you."

The raised hands made a gesture of no resistance, and the two soldiers had just relaxed before their hands touched Oli's shoulders. A mark suddenly appeared on Oli's left cheek. It was a face with closed eyes, and the lines on the face revealed a dark purple light. Immediately, the light in the surrounding space dimmed, and the light from the torch was like a fluorescent light, unable to provide any illumination at all, and a dense blackness enveloped the entire venue.

Ma Tuoli knew it was going to be bad, but he didn't dare to let the soldiers shoot because of the darkness, so as not to accidentally injure him. When the light came back again, Ollie had left the truck and fled to nowhere.

"The city gate is closed, he can't escape. Search for me, search every corner and find this damn mouse!" Mato yelled.

The city defense team left quickly, and not long after they left, Ollie crept out of the window of the factory shed lightly. He was very clever, and he hid in the factory instead of hiding in other places. There really was Matto's psychological blind spot, and the captain didn't expect the thief to be so bold.

Ollie snorted, pulled up the truck and was about to leave, when there was a burst of applause.

"Who is it?" Ollie asked in a deep voice.

A man's voice behind him said: "It's wonderful, you actually tricked Mato. Qila is right, you are indeed a professional thief, and your methods are quite clever."

Ollie turned around and looked up, and there was a man standing on the shed. He jumped forward and landed on the ground. The man stood loosely, but in Oli's feeling, the other party seemed to be ready to attack from any angle at any time. His danger alone overwhelmed everyone in the city defense team just now.

"You know Kira?" Ollie asked casually.

"Okay, don't waste everyone's time." The man shrugged and said, "I'm still in a hurry to go back to sleep, so you see, let's just get caught. I think Edward would be happy to know where you came from."

"Really? It's a pity you couldn't catch me." The engraving on Oli's face reappeared, and the surrounding light dimmed again.

When the light became extremely dark, a dagger flashed out of Oli's hand, and he rushed forward suddenly, intending to deal with this man.

Belmode shook his head and laughed, "Obviously, you chose an extremely bad answer."

Then there was a burst of intensive clashes in the darkness, and Ollie exclaimed first, followed by a scream. The light gradually recovered, but Ollie had already collapsed to the ground. He was stabbed multiple times in his hands and feet, and Belmode swung a short black blade. It was this thing that picked off the thief's tendons and hamstrings just now, making him unable to move. Looking at Oli again, he looked at Belmode with fear in his eyes.

"For a killer, darkness is the best partner. Isn't it ridiculous that you use darkness to deal with me?"

Ollie couldn't stop laughing.

By the time he was thrown into Edward's office, he was about to cry. Edward looked at the thief with interest, knelt down and said, "Tell me, who ordered 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 more about slaves." However, every life has weaknesses, some are afraid of water, some are afraid of fire. As for humans, most of them are afraid of pain..."

Edward took out a silver knife from under the table, which was usually used to scrape wax marks off envelopes. Holding the knife, Edward tore off a very thin piece of flesh from Ollie's arm. Ollie couldn't help screaming, and Edward smiled like a devil: "Such an injury is not fatal to you, but it will be very painful. Now, I will slowly cut off the flesh of your body bit by bit , until you say so."

Then the second knife was swung out.

Ollie's spine disappeared when Edward swung the fifth knife, and he screamed: "I said, I will tell you everything. It was Sir Maud, yes, it was his idea, he wanted to get Crowe Sith loom!"

"Oh, you know your names very well. Tell me, then, who gave him the information?"

Ollie recruited everything he knew. He was originally one of Maud's son Joey's men. After Latis told Maude about the loom, Joy called him over and asked him to come to Sur to steal things. Of course, it would be difficult to do it if it was just one Ollie, so Sir Maud issued a reward to the adventurers, so that a large number of adventurers flooded into the city of Sur.

As for Ollie, he hooked up with Kira and his gang. They used their identities to conceal themselves, and followed suit.

Looking at the man with tears and snot running all over the floor, Edward threw the bloody silver knife into the trash can. At this time, Mato, who heard the news, looked at the thief on the ground and asked, "My lord, what do you plan to do with him?"

"Of course it's execution. Do you need to ask? Remember to show his dead body to the public and tell the adventurers that they were all fooled by that old fox Maud." Edward said casually.

When Oli on the ground heard this, he immediately cursed. Matto knocked him on the head with the butt of his gun, knocking him unconscious, and was dragged down again.

In the darkness just before dawn, a loud gunshot sounded in the city of Suer, which shocked many adventurers who were still dreaming into a cold sweat. When it was dawn, someone boldly came to the street and saw Oli whose body was hung up for public display in the square in front of the City Lord's Mansion, that person's face immediately became quite ugly. As more and more people learned about Ollie, some adventurers were preparing to leave one after another. However, Sir Maude's high reward still made many people stay.

Among them, Kira and her partners were included. r1058
