Chapter 208 Soul Stealer!(1/2)
Akai finally found the living rabbit he wanted.
For this reason, he and Xu Nan had to go to the fresh food market in Stephensan's main city to inquire. Finally, under the reluctance of a wizard, Akai legally requisitioned the pet rabbit named Feifei in the name of the law enforcement team.
Not long.
Outside a single-family house, Xu Nan and Akai appeared. The latter carefully held the rabbit and whispered in his mouth, not knowing what he was saying.
"Are you casting some kind of spell?"
Xu Nan was puzzled.
"I am a demon hunter, a man born to be cursed by magic, and I don't have any spells."
Akai glanced at him, stroked Feifei's head on his own, and suddenly let him run away.
"But we have undergone special training to use some transcendent abilities. Although they are not as magical as magic, they are very practical."
He then explained, followed the rabbit's footsteps and directly passed through the fence at the door.
Strangely, the magic alarm that should be activated did not make the sound it should have.
"What a skilled look."
Xu Nan followed Akai, watched him press his finger on his lips, and guessed in his heart that this should be some ability to interfere with the magic alarm to a great extent.
For wizards, this ability is really terrible.
After all, they are used to magic and have reached a certain level of trust in magic. Once they are asleep, they are broken into their homes by demon hunters of Akai and silently robbed of their sex.
No wonder the profession of Demon Hunter was deeply opposed by Stephen San's wizards.
In Xu Nan's opinion, this profession was a miracle.
"Fefei" was quite fast. I guess the wizard who looked like a bachelor gave her many potions to improve her qualities.
Not long after, they walked directly through the main part of Thomas' house and came to the backyard.
There is a small wood here, and there is a prosperous grape shelf nearby.
Feifei ran here, and the scarlet big eyes suddenly emitted a slight light, which was an involuntary reaction.
"It's true...my guess is correct."
“Is it here?”
Akai half-kneeled on the grass, followed Feifei's footsteps and found a hidden secret door entrance.
He worked carefully for a while, successfully broke down various mechanisms at the entrance and skillfully opened the door.
He is very skilled and efficient, no less than the legendary thief.
Below the secret door is a narrow and long step. Judging from the degree of air circulation, it has not been closed for a long time.
"He probably comes to see it often."
Akai whispered to himself.
He blew a breath at the small white beads on his purple gloves, and the bead immediately burst into soft light like the brightest night pearl.
The white light illuminates every corner of the steps.
The two of them crawled into the path shortly.
Xu Nan was careful. Although Thomas lived alone, he could not have any accomplices, so he summoned Brother Goose before entering the secret passage. With this super thug, they would not face the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.
The secret passage is very dry.
They walked for about a minute and finally arrived at the end.
It was a very open underground secret room!
It's not like a secret room, but more like a square - because the space here is too big.
"Haha, even if it is just a crime of establishing a basement illegally, I can still say anything about that punch."
Akai muttered.
Xu Nan glanced at him and said nothing.
"This guy seems to like to tell jokes on his own, and it doesn't seem that difficult to get along with, but his ideas are a bit abnormal."
Instead of thinking deeply about Akai's quirk, he looked at the underground square seriously.
In the underground square, there are dense water tanks, about half a meter away, and they are arranged in a square shape.
The material of the water tank is very special, a bit like pottery made of soil and a bit like metal.
Xu Nan leaned over and looked and found that each water tank was covered with a white film. Although the film was translucent, he couldn't see clearly what it was inside.
He could only make sure that the water tank was filled with liquid...probably.
"Don't get too close."
"They will drill in through your mouth, nostrils or ears."
"Then occupy your body, take everything from you, and then complete the transformation of life."
Akai's voice sounded coldly from behind.
Xu Nan was stunned for a moment.
"them?"
He realized something and his eyes re-locked the water tanks with strange shapes.
"It's a thief."
Akai carefully wiped the nameplate on a water tank, as if reading the text on it.
"I can't say just now, because the group of thieves has incredible sensing capabilities."
"Once I mention their names on the dock, they will sense danger; and in that case, we can only see empty water tanks on the ground now."
"Haha, little guy, have you come up with the tank?"
He gently tapped the side of the water tank with his knuckles, making a crisp and nice sound.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
The little life in the water tank responded fiercely. It not only hit the wall of the water tank violently, but even began to rush to the white film!
"Is this the thief?"
This is the first time that Xu Nan has heard of such creatures in otherworldly worlds. Paradise Lost is also recorded, but they are all in the internal database. It is worth it to exchange for exploration points he has finally exchanged for this thing, so he looked at Akai, hoping that he could explain more.
"Well, this is the Legion of the Stealers who were exiled by us a thousand years ago."
"Stephen San guards the north of the main material world, and is a barrier that many evil forces are close to the northern continent that cannot be crossed. The Legion of the Thiefs is just a small example, but it is also the evil force that once caused our most headache."
"In every tank here, there is a juvenile body of a stolen monster... The way the stolen monster breeds is still a mystery, but it can be confirmed that their stolen bodies are very precious and it takes a lot of money to cultivate."
Akai looked in a good mood and gave Xu Nan a wave of popular science.
Xu Nan leaned over and looked. At this moment, accompanied by the violent fluctuations of the thief's juvenile body, he could barely see the other person's appearance through the white film:
This thing looks like a large tadpole, with a strong tail and a triangle on the top of the head, which seems to be more penetrating!
"It can easily penetrate into the brain of humanoid creatures, then swallow the brain's gray matter, and finally acquire the host's body and completely replace its body." Akai pointed to the larvae and said:
"Because of this, they were named [Stealing Monsters] by ancient mages, which meant to steal the existence of other people's souls."
"The Legion of the Stealers is very difficult to deal with due to its life characteristics."
"Fortunately, there are not many high-level thiefs that can occupy human bodies for a long time and retain their memories and skills. I have checked just now. The teenage bodies of thiefs here are all ordinary thiefs, which are different from Thomas's."
Akaishu breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Xu Nan, hesitated for a moment, and showed an ugly smile:
"At this point, I really need to say thank you. If you hadn't noticed the abnormality, we might have lost a lot of money..."
Xu Nan nodded slightly. It was not appropriate to attribute this to him. After all, he accidentally noticed Thomas' abnormality.
According to Akai, Thomas should be the vanguard of the thief army. They infiltrated Stephen San in some way, eventually seized Akai's body, and then slowly cultivated their own power in Stephen San.
The juvenile bodies of these thiefs are proof of this.
After ordinary thiefs seize the host's body, they cannot retain their memories, skills and abilities; but high-level thiefs can inherit the original owner's memory and strength to a certain extent. This kind of thiefs is very rare, with a ratio of about one in tens of millions of times.
Thomas is a typical example.
This is also the reason why he can perfectly play the role of a member of the law enforcement team but is not bound by the unspoken rules of the law enforcement team.
The reason why Akai directly attacked Thomas on the Second Ring Road was that on the one hand, he confirmed the fact that Akai was a thief through various information; on the other hand, he did not want Modir's attack on Green to continue to ferment.
He believed that Modir's attack was agitated, and the agitator was most likely Thomas himself or the Legion of the Stealers behind him!
As for the reason, it starts with the strange life of the thief itself.
...
The thief originated in another world, which is probably a space similar to the Earth's space in the Proper world.
The Pros have annexed one multiverse after another, and will eventually encounter strange lives. Ninety-nine percent of the life population has been extinct by the gods, but the thiefs survived with their tenacious vitality.
This is closely related to their strange life forms.
