Whispering Verse

At the intersection of Saint Teresa Square, the night was quiet, and the two gunshots did not break the heavy night.

Through the mist of the night, Shade saw his opponent fall to the ground. He blew the muzzle of the Ruger revolver in his hand and was about to fire another shot when he suddenly felt an extremely weak force. Trying to snatch the right to use the firearm in his hand. Of course he wouldn't let go, and his opponent obviously didn't have the ability to take the gun from him.

【Want a power confrontation? 】

"Of course not, I'm just an ordinary person."

Thinking in his mind, Shade lifted up a corner of his coat, revealing the other gun bag on his waist.

The power of the "Moving Object" spell was immediately transferred, so the gun bag containing the [Gun of Kindness] flew into the hands of the man opposite who was unconscious due to serious injuries.

If he had followed his own will and thoughts, he should have once again tried to obtain another gun in Shad's hand, or diverted the direction of Shad's gun. However, due to his blurred consciousness, he could only act according to the instructions he received, so he did not hesitate to pull out Xia De's second revolver, the [Gun of Kindness], and smiled at Xia De, who was standing in the bright light of the gas street. De, pulled the trigger.

The silence spell attenuated the sound of the muzzle, and the bullet flew past the side of Shad's face and hit the lamppost on the side of him. After leaving traces on the surface of the black street light pole, the bullet reflected back at a magical angle and hit Chogori Dius directly in the head.

"oh oh"

He made a strange sound in his throat, and then finally collapsed completely.

A cat meowed from behind, and "Dorothy" walked out from behind holding little Mia. But that was not Miss Writer. They actually exchanged things again without Shade's knowledge.

Lesia, who looked pale, said:

"He used your firearm and, after three lucky misses, was killed by ricochet from the pistol."

[The Gun of Kindness] allows murderers to hurt themselves and makes suicides unable to hurt themselves. It has the characteristic of being "undetectable". Therefore, Captain Rades did not die even after firing eight shots, and neither he nor others found anything wrong. The characteristic of this gun is not that it produces accidents abruptly, but that it produces accidents naturally.

Therefore, when the characteristics of [Gun of Kindness] were triggered, Shade did not stop him. People who were playing the game did not hear "because of the characteristics of the relic", but accidents happened naturally according to the rules. No one would doubt Shade. The most reason for winning this contact battle was to praise Iluna's good luck.

"The story continues. Thief Jack has found what he wants to steal. Shade, you must go home as soon as possible."

Lesia told Shade about this and hugged little Mia tightly, trying to get more warmth from the cat. The high frequency of exchanges made their condition a little bad, but holding Mia in their arms seemed to be able to feel their mental power recovering quickly. Now the blonde girl only feels a splitting headache. They have never exchanged soul positions so frequently outside of the "Red Butterfly Day".

"How are you doing? I also received instructions to go home as soon as possible and escape from the murderer."

Shade looked at her with some distress, pointed to his forehead, then rummaged in his pocket, took out a small bottle and threw it away:

"No. 4 holy water, although it won't have much effect on your situation, it may be effective. Don't save me, this is very cheap. Next, don't exchange with Dorothy anymore, you can detect [Jack the Thief] If both people at the location die, Thief Jack will disappear on the story map that Miss Bayas is looking at. It is impossible for her to let me conduct investigation, which will expose a lot of things, so I have to solve the next thing by myself. "

When there is only one story character left, Iluna can admit defeat and end [Dice Story Collection]. Now that Iluna has not given up, it is in line with Shade's thoughts. After all, without the power of this angel-level relic to affect reality, Shade is not sure whether he can really catch the thief.

Lesia took a sip of the holy water, and the cat looked up at her throat. Shade bent down to pick up his pistol, ignoring the body, and they finally entered the Saint Teresa Square area.

Her Royal Highness was originally worried about seeing something more terrifying, but the night in Saint Teresa Square was still calm, and the gas lamps on one side of the square gave off a strange halo in the dark night.

When the two of them looked up, they saw Dr. Schneider and Reverend August standing at the door of Shade's house. Lesia looked around the square with some worry, but she didn't see anything unusual. Even the body of [Ms. Charming] had disappeared.

"See, that was someone else's misfortune, and now it is gone. Dorothy, go and tell the doctor and the priest what has happened here. Do not come near me, but follow me into the house."

Shade spoke quickly, and because Dr. Schneider and Dr. Schneider were nearby, he called Lesia Dorothy.

The blonde girl nodded, hugged Shade's cat, crossed the gas street lamps, and walked quickly towards the doctor and priest who had already seen the two of them.

When Shade arrived at the door of his house at a normal walking speed, the doctor and the priest had already roughly understood the key content. Since [Dice Stories] prohibits the transmission of all information about the game to people outside the game, in order to prevent people trapped inside the relic from being aware of accidents by outsiders, doctors and priests only know the properties of the relic and Shade Things related to "Capturing Thief Jack" are going on, and I don't know what the storytellers are telling.

Of course, it was even more impossible for Lesia to ask the doctor and the priest what just happened here. The world itself is full of all kinds of unknown mysteries. If there are some things that have nothing to do with you, you don't know if you don't know. Excessive exploration will cause trouble.

"The detective's luck is indeed not very good."

Dr. Schneider said to Priest August, and the three of them hurriedly retreated away from the door of No. 6 St. Teresa Square. Then they watched Shade walking up normally, took out the key and opened the door.

After he entered, Lesia took out the key again and opened the door. Priest August and Dr. Schneider did not make any comment on the fact that she had the key to Shade's house.

Shade, who entered first, had already changed his shoes in the foyer, turned on the gas lights in the foyer and stairs, and then walked to the second floor holding on to the handrail of the stairs.

[Are you sure that the thief is on the second floor? 】

"There are only furniture on the first floor, and there are no 'items touched by the king'. I don't believe that the sage-level (Level 2) [Jack the Thief] has the ability to enter the hidden space in the basement. The third floor only has Luvia's items, and I've asked her to put away sensitive items. As for the attic, that's where Dorothy keeps letters from readers. In addition, room 2 on the second floor is empty, so the thief must have stolen from room 1. We just went to After opening the door downstairs, it couldn't have had time to run from the second floor to other locations."

The sound of shoes on the wooden stairs was Shade's favorite sound when he came home every day. But at this moment, the echoing sound was like the reckless sound that disturbed the evil spirit in a horror story.

As he walked, he looked up the stairs:

"Since the story has not ended, it means that the thief is most likely still at home. [Dice Story Collection] thinks I might catch him. Can you feel the thief's position?"

[No, it is currently an ordinary thief. Although the whispering element will not be completely eliminated, it is difficult to detect. You need to get up close, or force it to use more force. 】

"Be strong when you are strong, this is true"

When he used the key to open the door just now, Shade discovered that although the door lock was intact, there were scratches on the keyhole. At this time, he followed the stairs to the second floor. Although he couldn't see any clear clues, his inspiration reminded Shade that someone must have broken into his home.

There were no lights on on the second floor, just as it was when Dorothy finally left. Shade first turned on the corridor light, and then turned on the gas lamp in the living room. At a glance, he saw that something was missing in the living room:

"The antique knight's sword that I had when I was awarded the honor is missing. It turned out to be this."

The sword was originally hung on the wall of the living room by Shade to fully demonstrate his identity and professionalism when the client visited. Because you can see it every time you look up when you enter the door, it is easy to find the missing sword at this time.

"Oh, I was robbed, the damn thief stole my knight's sword!"

Although he knew that the people who were acting out the story could not understand his every word, Shade still stood at the top of the stairs and said it in a very exaggerated way. There was no sound of footsteps on the stairs behind him, but Shade knew that his companions were all there, and the silence spells and their respective magic spells were hiding the location of their voices.

"The windows are all closed, and I didn't see any suspicious figures in Saint Teresa Square just now. Could it be that the despicable thief is still in my home?"

He said loudly again, walking into the room and standing in the middle of the living room looking around his home. After living here for half a year, Shade regarded every inch of land here as his complete property. At this time, he was invaded by thieves. To be honest, he was really annoyed. In addition, [Jack the Thief] once stole Dorothy, so Shade will not let him go this time no matter what.

"Still can't find it?"

[Yes, the other party is now almost equivalent to an ordinary person. 】

Blinking his eyes, [Echo of Blood] couldn't find any fresh blood. After all, he was just a thief, not a murderer. Then use [Echoes of the Past]. Unfortunately, Thief Jack did not have the habit of talking to himself when he was stealing, let alone saying "Yes, I want to hide in the closet" when hiding.

"There are not many places in the house where a living person can be hidden. Based on my understanding of this place, it is not difficult to find it."

While Shade was thinking, he sat on the sofa at home, took out his notebook and started writing. This is a note that will be handed over to Lesiya and the others later. This time, he is not alone.
