[What you care more about is the way that Kallen, the "Pure White Thief", handles the crime scene - not handling the crime scene. ]
[So, after sneaking in, don’t knock anyone out, don’t kill them all, just take the things and leave.]
[This kind of person is generally not called a phantom thief, but a robber. ]
【There is an inexplicable kind of "pure" beauty. 】
[If you had known this earlier, why would you design a costume for Karin? You could just put a black hood on her head and be done with it. It would save time and effort, and it would also fit her behavior.]
【But, that’s nothing. 】
[You never supported Karen because she was mature and reliable, but simply because you wanted to accompany her and have a crazy time with her for the sake of your "ideal".]
[One candy for an idealist. ]
That night, the pure white phantom thief girl carried a big bag full of "trophies" and climbed over the eaves and walls, and walked away on the moon.
All the people in Victor's mansion were left standing there, some feeling anxious, some cursing angrily.
"Snapped--"
Suddenly, a crisp sound of finger snapping rang out in the void.
As the voice fell, the panicked servants, the alert guards, and even Victor who was cursing fell silent, and the expressions on their faces became strangely empty.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Mian's figure slowly emerged, but it flashed chaotically several times before it stabilized.
He panted and looked in the direction where Kallen left, then glanced at Victor who was motionless, and said indifferently with his hands behind his back:
"You're still useful. Nothing happened tonight. Forget everything you saw."
"...yes......"
Afterwards, Lu Mian also gave certain hints to the rest of the people, and only after making sure that everything was foolproof did he leave in the direction that Karen had left.
About three seconds later, the people who had been standing there stupidly finally woke up, but they had completely forgotten everything that had happened tonight.
Victor had no idea what had happened, but his face tensed and he ran hurriedly into the mansion.
On the other side, when Lu Mian found Karin, the silly girl was happily settling her "MVP" record for the night with Otto.
As soon as she saw Lu Mian, she jumped into his arms, like a little girl acting like a spoiled child to her elders, "I'm telling you, I gave those gold coins to a lot of poor people, they will definitely live a better life, right?"
Listening to Karin's beautiful vision, Lu Mian couldn't help but secretly glance at Otto who was not far away. Seeing Otto's awkward expression, he withdrew his gaze.
Silly girl, to help the poor we must first help them with their “ambition” and “wisdom”.
He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just rubbed Karen's little head and said:
"Yes, everything will be fine."
Chapter 2: Lady Green Lily (5/)
[Karen is still doing her business of robbing the rich and giving to the poor. ]
[During the day, she stays with you and Otto. At night, she transforms into a pure white thief and climbs walls.]
[This period of time was the happiest time for Kallen, and it was also the moment when she truly felt that she could help the people with her own strength. ]
【...】
[Under your conscious or unconscious teaching, Karin's "thief never leaves empty-handed" technique has become more and more sophisticated. ]
[But as the saying goes, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. ]
[No one can avoid accidents, and every time this happens, you and Otto will come forward to rescue Kallen.]
[After seeing Otto's method of rescuing someone, you unconsciously prayed in your heart, hoping that Kallen would encounter more accidents. ]
Under the cover of night, two soldiers in full armor were chasing after the Pure White Thief, or rather, they were chasing after the two large bags of "trophies" in the Pure White Thief's hands.
If nothing unexpected happens, this chase caused by the accident will last for a very long time.
However, after just turning a corner, the Pure White Thief disappeared without a trace.
Instead, there was a noble lady in a green dress - she was unsteady and had tears in the corners of her eyes, as if she had just been bumped by someone.
The two soldiers gasped and looked at each other, not daring to act rashly for a while.
But when they thought of the Pure White Thief, they moved together and walked to a few meters in front of the lady.
"Excuse me, what are you doing?" one of them asked boldly.
Hearing this, the noble lady first pretended to sob softly twice, then said pitifully:
"A strange white woman carrying something bumped into me and then ran away in that direction."
The voice was beautiful, but it pointed the way forward for the two soldiers.
The two soldiers, who thought they had obtained important information, did not delay and immediately ran in the direction the lady pointed.
A long time, a long time.
Lu Mian showed up only after the two soldiers had run completely far away.
Completely ignoring Kallen who was huddled on the roof of a street-side guesthouse, he looked at the "lady" Otto beside him and felt the corners of his mouth twitching wildly.
Seeing Lu Mian like this, Otto rolled his eyes at him in a charming manner and said in a clear voice:
"Laugh if you want."
As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if some kind of switch was turned on for Lu Mian. The corners of his mouth, which had been barely suppressed to begin with, rose wildly, and he finally let out a wild laugh that he didn't care about his image at all, but didn't dare to laugh too loudly.
To be fair, Otto, the cross-dresser in the green dress, no, "Mrs. Green Lily" has excellent appearance.
Under the gentle moonlight, the lady's thin and graceful outline was perfectly outlined. She was wearing a hand-sewn green dress and a hat of the same color, decorated with light green lilies and light green feathers, looking elegant and generous.
A head of soft golden hair cascaded down like a waterfall and hung at the waist.
A pair of emerald eyes are like a turquoise lake full of stars in midsummer, indescribably dreamy and profound.
Her cherry lips were lightly pursed, as if she would say something alluring in the next second, triggering endless reverie.
Does it look good? Yes.
But when Lu Mian thought that this was Otto, he no longer thought it was good-looking. He just wanted to laugh, and even wanted to laugh himself to death.
It's like "the buried Fulilian" has become "the gifted Furong King", it's so hard to think about it.
"Fuck, brother. No, fuck! Brother!" Lu Mian kept laughing as he spoke. His laughter was intermittent, as if he was about to suffocate. "You are being too realistic, aren't you?"
After saying that, he stretched out his dragon claw hand and took a good look at the pair of steamed buns hanging on Otto's chest.
Although Lu Mian had never touched them before, he felt that this pair of prosthetic breasts that came from nowhere were very real.
Unfortunately, before he could grab a few times, Otto gasped, stretched out his delicate hand and slapped his reckless big hand away.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Lu Mian thought that his behavior had annoyed Otto, so he quickly stopped smiling and apologized, but he couldn’t help but said, “I’m sorry, Madam Green Lily, hahaha…”
[On this night about Mrs. Green Lily, you kept laughing, and you didn't stop even after you got home.]
[Otto looked at you, who was laughing so hard that you looked like a fool. He felt a little annoyed, but he also laughed along with you.]
[He was thinking, how long has it been since he saw you smile so happily? ]
[As for Karen, she successfully completed her righteous act, and after returning, she naturally joined in your laughter. ]
【Look, the world where no one gets hurt is complete. 】
【What? 】
[What should a wealthy person do if his gold coins are stolen? 】
[Based on the immoral things they did and the dirty money they earned, they should have died ten times over. They should be expelled from the human race!]
-----------------
[The pure white thief distributed all the stolen gold coins to the poor and needy, but people's lives did not get better. ]
【Suffering and oppression still exist.】
[Karen did not stop her actions because of this confusion, but she also had new questions and thoughts. ]
[What should we do to make people truly happy? ]
[As for you and Otto, you were not too surprised that the current problem has not been solved. ]
[You all know what kind of dark secrets are hidden under the glorious appearance of the organization of Sentence, and you all know that the greatest enemy of mankind has never been Honkai, but "humanity" itself. ]
[As long as the dirty and corrupt old destiny exists, the people will never be happy! ]
[Conflicts originate from within humanity and must also end within humanity.]
【The only way to solve the problem fundamentally is to change. 】
[But, Otto, Kallen, and even you, are you really ready? ]
【Throughout history, has there been any reform that did not require bloodshed and sacrifice? 】
[It seems that Otto and Kallen have not yet grown to the level where they can take on everything. 】
[You can handle everything, even now, and you still can. ]
[The remaining time of your existence: four years.]
[Four years is a long time, long enough for you to arrange everything; but four years is too short, too short for you to take a closer look at Otto and Kallen and see how they grow together.]
[But no matter what, you only have four years left. ]
[You can help Otto and Kallen paint a hopeful future, just as you once did.]
[You firmly believe this.]
[Besides, you don’t actually think that everything Kallen does is meaningless. ]
[There really are poor people who have been helped, and there are really people who have smiled and gained happiness because of Kallen’s righteous act. ]
[Even though it is as short as morning dew, it is also as bright as sparks. 】
[The issues at hand have been resolved, and the people at hand have been helped. 】
[In this case, it can never be said that Kallen did nothing. ]
[As for the "big question" at the end of everything, it is the "ideal" that idealists pursue throughout their lives. ]
[You will stay with Kallen.]
[Although you can't guarantee that you will always be with her, but at least you can guarantee that you can stay with her for the rest of your life, right? ]
Chapter 3 Purple Box (5/)
The night sky gently wraps the world, and the evening breeze blows the lazy stars.
The servants were accompanied by two or three people, and the vague gossip floated in the air and then quietly dissipated, without disturbing the harmony of the night at all.
Everything put together seems to draw a deep and sweet dream that cannot be contained in one's heart.
Otto sat quietly at the desk in front of the window, flipping through the thick book on the table from time to time.
Suddenly, a breeze brushed past his ears, lifting up strands of golden hair and bringing a faint fragrance.
Looking up, it was Lu Mian.
Lu Mian put his hands behind his back and said to Otto with a grin:
"Karen went to rescue Kudu'e, come and see what goodies I brought you?"
After saying this, he showed Otto what he had hidden behind him - it was a pot of green lilies that looked very fresh and refined.
After Otto saw the green lily potted plant clearly, Lu Mian placed it on Otto's desk through the window, and then he walked through the wall into the room, "Your desk is filled with nothing but books and airplanes, it's too dull. Now it's full of greenery!"
With you here, how can this desk be lifeless?
Otto thought so, but said nothing. He just curled up his fingers and lovingly hooked the half-opened delicate buds of the green lily.
Wait, green lily?
Otto, who had just realized what the potted plant in front of him meant, glanced at Lu Mian unhappily.
