MMB Chapter 1783 Prophet
Chapter 1783 Prophet
Qinghuo was stunned for a moment.
"Chitong, are you crazy? So what if the Twilight Society saw it? What does it have to do with us?"
Chi Tong saw the slight movement of that person and his heart immediately calmed down, knowing that he and Lan Yu would definitely not be held accountable for being late... He sneered inwardly and grabbed Qing Huo by the collar.
"There's a lot you don't understand... newbie." Chi Tong glared at him fiercely. "Watch more, listen more, learn more... stop being a jerk every day, understand?"
After Chi Tong finished speaking, he yanked off the baseball cap from the other person's waist and then slammed it down on the other person's head!
"Keep your green hat on!"
Qing Huo's face flushed red instantly. He glared at Chi Tong, but the latter was too lazy to argue with him and turned to walk towards the front of the church... He wanted to vent his anger on Lan Yu, but when he saw Lan Yu's sharp and aggressive eyes, he silently swallowed his anger.
Qinghuo truly hated this green hat, but the Thief Saint had to wear a hat that could identify his identity, which was a rule for the Fire Usurper. Since he had been given the name "Qing" by the King, he naturally had to wear the corresponding hat... Although Qinghuo was unwilling, he wouldn't dare to go against the King even if he had a hundred lives.
At the same time, Mo Lian, who had remained silent all along, slowly stood up.
"The four great thieves, Crimson, Blue, Green, and Black, have all arrived..."
"Please give your instructions, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, the four people in the church immediately fell silent and looked at the seats in the first row.
The dim light fell on the man, making his elegant silk shirt look as if it were edged with gold. He gently removed the gentleman's hat tied with blue silk, and his slightly curly black hair fell naturally... He did not turn around to look at the four master thieves, but stared at the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window facing the church.
Outside the window, the night sky was twinkling with stars; reflected in the mirror was the empty church where only the five of them stood.
"What kind of person was that Twilight Club member we just saw?"
Lee Ryder's voice echoed in the church.
Upon hearing this, the group of master thieves were all taken aback. They had been summoned here by the king at the last minute, thinking that something big was going to happen, but they never expected that the king's first words would be about two inexplicable members of the Twilight Society.
Chi Tong hesitated for a moment, "We haven't been in contact with them, so we don't know the cards... but the cards shouldn't be very big. There's a boy in one of them who looks about fourteen or fifteen years old."
Fourteen or fifteen years old...
Lee Layde frowned slightly.
"It should be 9 by now... no... maybe it's already 8..."
"Your Majesty, what did you say?"
Li Laid didn't answer, but took a deep breath, and his deep blue eyes returned to calm.
“This time, your mission is simple,” Li Laid said calmly. “Infiltrate Ruoshui Prison and keep an eye on those Twilight Society members… Whatever they do, you do. And you must do it faster and more decisively than them… Understand?”
The four master thieves exchanged glances, each seeing a deep sense of bewilderment on the other's face.
"I understand..." Chi Tong hesitated before speaking.
"But most of the members of the Twilight Commune are very good at hiding themselves. How can we keep an eye on them and know what they are going to do?"
“Wait.” Li Laid looked out the window at the night. “Their target this time is not simple. Once they make a move, it will definitely cause a huge commotion… You’ll find out then.”
"Yes!"
The four master thieves responded simultaneously.
Lilade waved his hand, and the four thieves left the church.
As the dull thud of the door closing echoed, the church fell silent once more... Lilaide remained silent for a long time before slowly walking to the massive stained-glass window.
He gazed out the window at the Ruoshui prison, shrouded in the silent night, and murmured to himself:
"Nine years..."
"It doesn't matter if your Twilight Society doesn't accept me."
“I don’t need your protection, I don’t need your influence. I will prove to you… prove that I am stronger than all of them, more valuable than all of them…”
"Just you wait and see..."
"Master."
……
Ruoshui Prison.
A young man strode across the corridor and knocked on the door at the end.
"Lord Marquis... Lord Marquis Wei!" The young man rushed to the table. "We have brought the chaos of the Gray Dimension's convergence under control... but we couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the calamity in the Sixth District; it was about twenty seconds later than expected..."
Behind the window, an elderly figure coughed softly a few times and slowly turned to look at the young man.
"Don't be impatient, Jingsi... cough cough... what's the casualty situation?"
“Four waiters who didn’t have time to escape died,” Jing Si said seriously. “Originally, it seemed that the calamity was going to attack the school, but someone intervened and forcibly killed it… We’ve confirmed that it wasn’t any of the registered Shintoists.”
Lord Wei nodded slightly, "As expected..."
"As expected?" Jing Si was taken aback. "Lord Marquis, you had already foreseen this?"
"I anticipated that there might be omissions, but upon closer inspection, I believe that a capable person will step in to avert disaster, which is why I did not inform you."
"How could you not inform me, Lord Marquis!" Jing Si frowned. "That man wasn't registered, so he must be a rebel not recognized by Cheng Tian... What if we miss this opportunity to arrest him, and he causes trouble in the chaos?"
Lord Wei shook his head:
"Jing Si... It's hard to define good and evil. Does that mean that those who are brought under Cheng Tian's command are necessarily good? Does that mean that those who are not recognized by Cheng Tian are necessarily evil?"
Jing Si was stunned. He frowned and pondered for a long time before hesitantly speaking:
"Not really."
"In any case, since they intervened to save lives, we don't need to pursue the matter further." Lord Wei pointed to the map of Ruoshui Prison on the wall. "What we should be doing is predicting the location and time of the next calamity, and protecting the people..."
"It's because Emperor Chengtian is too stingy that he scattered all of us [Prophets] and assigned us to various prisons in Chengtian Prefecture... If we were all still together, helping each other, we could be more accurate... and you wouldn't have to waste your energy on us alone." Jing Si said angrily.
"Jing Si!" Marquis Wei's face darkened.
Do you really think it's a good thing for the [prophet] to get together?
"Isn't that so?" Jing Si countered. "We are diviners who can predict the future. If we all calculate together, it will definitely help you share the burden, and Ruoshui Prison will be better off..."
“Completely wrong.” Lord Wei shook his head repeatedly. “Foretelling the future is an ethereal and unpredictable thing. The paths of divination may also influence each other… If everyone is a good person, that’s fine. But if someone harbors evil intentions and tries to influence the divination results, then the so-called ‘prophet’ may become a villain who disrupts everything.”
