Chapter 139: Chapter 133 The Game Between Two Organizations_1

The farce was over. Zhang Yang and several members of the special tuning department escorted the man back to the station.

The recruitment fair continued, with another veteran member of the Special Tuning Department stepping in for Zhang Yang.

Mu You stayed on the scene, continuing to help select candidates.

However, his mind was preoccupied by the final scene of the fight with the "mourner".

From his position, he was the only one who could see that the thief had clearly removed his glove in the last moment before being captured. Then, using some unknown method, the thief made the glove disappear.

Given the situation, the thief was obviously afraid that the glove would be confiscated. He had presumably moved it somewhere else.

No wonder there, the "Holy Thief" skin in itself posed no significant threat. After all, stealing requires killing first, and killing in reality also results in the loss of items. Moreover, once dead, who would care if they were robbed?

The effects in the game are even smaller. High-value items can be taken out of the game. Since stealing in the game also carries a high probability of not obtaining any valuable items, it would result in being killed and having to drop more items.

In comparison, the glove was the real threat. Because this glove could steal things in reality without anyone noticing. Even if it only had one chance per person, what if, just what if, it stole a relic?

Something that posed a threat to his Time Pocket Watch, Mu You felt that it would be best if he got it into his own hands, or at least destroyed it. If it fell into others’ hands, he would be at a disadvantage.

"Vivian, is there any spell that can move objects?" Mu You turned to the bird on his shoulder.

"Object relocation, Flyover Curse, Big Teleportation, Small Teleportation Spell."

Vivian’s voice resonated in his mind, seeming to understand what he was thinking and explaining, "The casting time of Big Teleportation is long. The Flyover Curse does not make the item invisible, so the one that the thief used at last must be the Small Teleportation Spell."

"Small Teleportation Spell?"

"It’s a low-level spell, with a very short incantation that can be quickly cast. It is usually used for emergencies to hide things. After the spell is cast, the target item is instantly transferred to a specific nearby place. The distance of the transfer will not exceed a hundred meters," Vivian said.

"Not exceeding a hundred meters..."

Upon hearing this, Mu You paused for a moment and unconsciously looked up at the sports hall in front of him.

Does this mean that the glove could still be hidden in the stadium?

Mu You wanted to search the stadium immediately, but with the bustling crowd below, it was too crowded. He decided to wait until everyone had left.

Playing the game while slacking off, the morning passed quickly.

By noon, Old Zhang returned to the stadium by car and specifically asked to meet Mu You at a nearby noodle shop.

"How did it go? Did you discover the man’s identity?" They sat down in the private room and Mu You immediately asked.

"We found out. This man’s real name is Liu Feng. He grew up in an orphanage and is mentally obsessive. His game ID is Mourner. A few months ago, he committed several relic theft cases in S City and was heavily pursued by the Special Tuning Department there. He couldn’t stay in S City anymore and disappeared for a while. Unexpectedly, he reappeared in K City now. I don’t know if he thinks it’s easy to bully us because we don’t have any masters here," Zhang Yang shook his head.

"Where is he now?" Mu You asked.

"He has been taken away. I reported the situation and two Dragon Team Big Gods were sent by the higher-ups to personally escort him away," Zhang Yang answered.

"Dragon Team Big God? Two of them?"

Mu You was taken aback. No matter how strong the thief was, he was just a level-10 player who hadn’t even used the Evolution Elixir. Was it necessary to mobilize two godlike players?

"You don’t know."

Old Zhang suddenly leaned closer to Mu You, whispering mysteriously, "This person has... some background..."

Zhang Yang didn’t say the name, but he drew a ’ten’ on the table with his finger.

Mu You immediately understood his meaning: Ten Commandments.

The only organization that the Special Tuning Department would be wary of was that mysterious organization.

"The guy had reportedly stolen some important relics. Now that the person has been captured, the nation will definitely want to extract the location of his treasure trove. Of course, this has nothing to do with us. The nation will take care of it," Zhang Yang continued in a low voice.

"Oh, yes, there’s more good news."

Zhang Yang recalled something at this point and revealed a smile, "This mission of yours is considered to have captured an ’A-class’ wanted criminal. The higher-ups have rewarded you with the points of an entire ’A-class’ mission - a total of 10,000 points. The two Dragon Team Gods personally praised you before leaving, saying they’d like to meet you if they get the chance. Too bad you weren’t around then."

"10,000 points?!"

Mu You was delighted at the news. As for the verbal praise he didn’t really care for that, points were the most practical after all!

With 10,000 points and the previous 1,000, he could now exchange them for two middle-rank spell scrolls. What’s more, he could choose the ones that maximize his strength.

There was no rush to choose. He would plan carefully when he returned home later night. Then he would find Old Zhang for an exchange tomorrow.

The recruitment fair ended at two in the afternoon. Mu You left the venue but didn’t rush home. Instead, he found a deserted place and called Lu Yao.

"Have you ever heard of a guy named Mourner?" Mu You asked.

"Mourner? I haven’t," Lu Yao replied.

"What about Holy Thief?"

"Oh, I know about Holy Thief. It’s a special skin owned by the organization. They give it to individuals to complete missions. After the person dies, they reclaim it and give it to the next person. However, this identity has changed hands several times, and I don’t know who the current Holy Thief is," Lu Yao said.

"An alias..."

This description made Mu You’s expression strange, so was this damn thing a public skin?

"What would happen if the current Saint of Thieves was caught by the Dragon Team? Mu You wondered and asked.

"Caught by the Dragon Team? If that’s the case, he’s as good as dead. The organization won’t let him go!", Lu Yao said.

"Are you sure?"

Mu You frowned, "What if he has protection from a member of the Dragon Team?"

"No protection can help him. The organization has a way to prevent betrayal from its subordinates. It can directly control a person’s brain, I only barely escaped from being inflicted with that. In short, the organization will not allow any of its vital assets to fall into the enemy’s hands. Therefore, watch out, at most by tomorrow when the organization finds out where he is in the game, he will certainly lose his life!"

Lu Yao’s deduction was firm and uncompromising. Mu You didn’t object, he actually believed in Lu Yao’s explanation more than the two unknown Dragon Team’s big gods.

The Ten Commandments dared to assign this important skin to a person, they definitely had the ability to reclaim it.

Of course, whether this thief lives or dies, Mu You didn’t care, after all, the person has been sent, what follows is a contest between two major forces, he had nothing to do with it anymore.

What he cared most about now was the glove.

...

After nightfall, Mu You returned to the gymnasium.

At this time the building was empty and dark.

Mu You sneaked into the main hall, directly teleported to the beam, came to the location where the thief was captured by the spider web in the morning, looked left and right, then took out the Pumpkin Lantern to light up the area.

Under the illumination of the Pumpkin Lantern, a faint trail of glowing dust appeared in mid-air.

These were traces of Magic Power deposit, which would gradually disappear over time.

Luckily, Mu You was not late. At this moment, the leftover magic particles were very weak, but they were still faintly discernable.

Following the trail of glowing dust up, it led to a landing point outside the ceiling.

Mu You immediately knew what to do. He recorded the landing point, then put out the Pumpkin Lantern, left the hall to teleport to the rooftop of the stadium along the outer wall.

Stopped at the corresponding position on the roof, turned over the items around and searched.

Sure enough, he soon found a flattened silver glove buried under a piece of sheet metal...

An hour later, Mu You hurried back to the pet shop, directly opened the entrance to his spatial bag on the ground and entered.

At this moment inside the bag space, unlike the usual, there were chirping noises everywhere.

Ten creatures, like featherless chickens, were frolicking in the grass field, they were baby Chocobos.

In the afternoon, under Little Ya’s second round of "Light of Evolution", the ten Chocobo eggs had hatched.

No wonder these animals were born for running. These featherless chicks could sprint around the grassland at an incredible speed and play until late at night without showing any signs of fatigue.

Mu You didn’t have time to pay attention to them. He quickly took out his phone, started the game and took a look.

But, the expected notification of receiving a new item didn’t pop up.

Did I find the wrong item?

Mu You was puzzled, he took out the silver glove and examined it.

The Omniscient Crystal quickly provided an explanation of the glove.

"Saint Thief’s gloves: An artifact from the legendary ’Saint Thief’ Robinson. A part of the Saint thief’s residual soul is sealed inside, and it possesses a great thieving power. Upon striking a person for the first time, it can randomly steal an item from the person. It can only take effect once for each target. (Only effective when worn with the ’Saint Thief’ skin and prior to the death of the previous owner, the ownership cannot be transferred.)"

"This thing has a spirit arms?"

Mu You was surprised, the explanation implied that without this soul’s acknowledgement or acceptance, he could not become the owner of the gloves. Which means these gloves still belonged to the ’Mourner’.

Wait a minute...

Mu You suddenly realized something.

According to Lu Yao’s explanation, the Mourner will die soon, and when he dies, won’t this glove also be counted as his belonging and then be recycled by the game?

When a player dies in reality, all the items remaining with him would be randomized with only one remaining in the game, while the rest will all be recycled by the Game and become ownerless relics.

And the magic items that this thief owns, even if it’s not several hundreds, atleast several dozens would be considered, right?

No wonder the guy was daring enough to hide the glove on the rooftop, he is not worried about someone finding it, because even if picked up by someone, there is a large chance that the game will recycle it and then it would be taken back by the Ten Commandments.

On the contrary, if this thing was seized and fell into the hands of the Big Gods of the Dragon Team, maybe they have the capability to break the bond, and then prevent this item from being recycled.

However, now this item has fallen into his hands, the situation is different.

He might not have the means to undo the binding, but to him probabilities do not exist.

Next he only needs to wait until the Mourner dies, and the moment when the items are recycled, he would continuously use the Time Pocket Watch to return back in time, until he rolled a timeline where the leftover spoils of war was just these gloves.
