Chapter 579
If Elysia saw this, she would definitely be dumbfounded. Who could have imagined the other party could guess an 8-digit password on the first try?
Then, the curious cat-girl clicked open the phone's photo gallery, and yet...
"Wuaaaaaaaaah—!"
Seeing a pile of Miss Pink Fairy's unspeakable secret collections, Pardo-Felis was stunned on the spot.
Glancing at the tens of thousands of photos of the white-haired boy in the album, as well as dozens of gigabytes of special manga, she thought to herself that she must never be caught by the phone's owner, otherwise, even if she were a cat-girl with nine lives, she would definitely be done for!
"Wow, this is too stimulating. The owner of this phone actually has these things. Hiss, hiss, hiss. No, this is bad. I feel like I've seen things I shouldn't have. I should deal with this quickly."
Pardo hurriedly closed the phone and then placed it further away as if it were a bomb.
"I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything. Mm, that's right. Now for the last case. Hehe, there must be good treasures inside!!"
She shook the case in her hand. Although she didn't hear any sound, just looking at the high-tech exterior, she knew there must be good stuff inside.
Pardo raised her hand and entered a random code, and this case, which should have required a 10-digit password, was easily opened.
"Wuaah, what is this!!"
When she saw the red reagent bottles neatly arranged in the case, Pardo shuddered, almost dropping the case to the ground. She thought it was blood.
"Uh, no, this doesn't seem to be blood. The color is so pretty. Wait, this seems to be that Honkai disease serum!"
Twilight Street hadn't been allocated any Honkai serum; after all, this place was truly hard to describe.
But even if Pardo hadn't seen the real thing, she had seen pictures. After all, to promote the serum and gather the hidden Honkai disease patients, Fire Moth had already plastered advertisements all over the world.
"My god, I think I've played too big this time. Are those three people from that Fire Moth? What do I do, what do I do? Should I return it to them? Please don't come looking for me..."
Pardo squatted on the ground with a bitter face, scratching her head hard.
Having super good luck was her advantage.
But good luck also has its own troubles.
Occasionally, she would swipe something too precious like this, and as a result, the cat-girl wouldn't have the ability to "eat" it, and it would only become a hot potato.
This is the same as a lucky player who is so lucky that they pull a 5-star character to max constellation and max refinement in one ten-pull, but their warehouse materials can't afford to raise them at all.
"I don't dare sell these things."
There were Honkai disease patients in Twilight Street, but because of its "simple and honest" folk, Fire Moth hadn't distributed any serum here.
Pardo could fully imagine that if she took these serums out, those Honkai patients in Twilight Street would definitely go crazy looking for her to get this stuff!
After all, in the face of a chance to save their lives, her made-up, non-existent boss wouldn't have any deterrent power.
However, just as she was thinking about going to find Bai Ge and the other two later, dropping this case on their path, and then hiding for a while to avoid the limelight...
"But in Aponia's nursing home, those kids could be saved if they had these serums... Ah, ah, wuwuwu, whatever, whatever, I'll take the risk this one time!!"
After struggling and hesitating for a long while, Pardo bit her fingernails off, but she still made up her mind.
Not returning it! For the children in the nursing home!
However, just as she intended to set off immediately for the nursing home to deliver these serums.
"Found you, little cat."
"Eeeeeee—!"
Three figures wearing suspicious masks stood before her. Pardo shuddered, letting out a shriek like a cat that had its tail stepped on.
She never expected to be discovered so quickly. This hidden little nest had its first visit from someone other than a stray cat, and it immediately became a bit crowded.
Elysia and Sakura looked around in astonishment.
This thief's residence was worse than they had imagined; that thin tin-sheet nest made one wonder if it could withstand the wind and rain.
Elysia and Sakura couldn't help but feel some pity, deciding not to impose any punishment.
"Return what you took."
"Even a cute girl can't steal things, you know."
Just as the two were debating whether to scare Pardo-Felis to make her cooperate obediently.
Thump!
The cat-girl knelt on both knees with practiced ease.
"I was wrong, I shouldn't have had crooked thoughts, I shouldn't have taken your things. Please, my lords, have mercy and let me go!!"
"…………" x3
Bai Ge, Elysia, and Sakura were all stunned.
They had never seen someone surrender so quickly.
Look at the neatness of this posture, look at the fluency of this speech speed—what need was there for intimidation? Bai Ge thought that if Pardo had been born in his previous life, she would definitely be a French cat-girl!
"Uh, first, return the items."
"Okay, okay! I'll return them to you right now!"
Pardo said, handing over the phone, the badge, and the case together. Elysia and Sakura didn't suspect anything.
After all, the cat-girl looked like just an ordinary petty thief; she shouldn't have the ability to crack the passwords on the phone and the case.
After handing them over, Pardo quietly moved her feet to retreat. However, the moment Sakura picked up the case.
"Wait, something is missing!"
Sakura frowned, immediately drawing her blade and holding it to the neck of the cat-girl who had almost successfully slipped away.
"Wuaaaa, spare me, spare me!"
【Redacted】
"I didn't expect you to be able to open Fire Moth's password case. Quickly hand over the reagent you hid."
Sakura said with a serious face. She didn't open the case to check the contents, but she could feel the weight was slightly lighter.
A normal person wouldn't notice, but Sakura was naturally sensitive and serious, and she was a fusion warrior, so she discovered the problem instantly.
Elysia, beside her, entered the password and opened the case.
"Eh? A bottle of reagent is really missing."
"Aha... aha... ahahaha..."
The three people's gazes gathered on Pardo again. At this moment, the cat-girl looked panicked, and in fact, she was indeed panicked to death.
(No, no way, this can be discovered too? Are these people this terrifying? What do I do, what do I do? Should I just return this thing to them?)
She reached behind her. Just now, in her desperation, Pardo had tucked the serum into her little hot pants. She thought that if she hid it behind her and slowly backed away, she wouldn't be discovered.
"Uh, can we negotiate? One bottle, I'll just take one bottle, okay? Or how about I buy it, is that not okay?"
Pardo said with a fawning smile. One bottle could save a person, after all. This cat-girl, who was timid but kind-hearted, decided to take a gamble for the children in the nursing home.
However, Sakura's face was as cold as frost.
"No."
This was a serum made from Bai Ge's blood. Although Sakura knew Bai Ge's blood could be cloned and these serums were mass-produced reagents that weren't expensive.
But even so, she wouldn't allow anyone to resell them for profit, because in Sakura's eyes, that was a desecration of Bai Ge.
In fact, during this time, she had already dealt with quite a few people who tried to resell Honkai serum, and right now, Pardo was being treated as one of those people.
However, just as she intended to swing her blade.
"Wait, Sakura, don't be impulsive."
"Let's hear what she has to say first, Sakura."
The two people beside the girl stopped her.
"Bai Ge, Elysia, why?"
"Sakura, you're just too serious. Relax a bit."
"Yeah, look at how neatly she surrendered just now. She's so timid; she doesn't look like the kind of person who could do big bad things, right?" Bai Ge glanced at Pardo.
The cat-girl nodded so fast she became a blur.
Her courage was at most enough for petty theft; Pardo wouldn't dare touch higher-level bad deeds. After all, Pardo-Felis was just a cat-like girl who wanted to muddle through life and sunbathe every day.
What bad intentions could a cat-girl have?
"This boss is right. I'm just taking one bottle to save someone, really, I have no other ideas!"
Sakura's almost-swung blade had scared her to death.
The cat-girl knelt again, hands clasped, eyes teary, begging to be let go. This cute and pitiful look immediately struck the "moe" points of Bai Ge and Elysia.
"... Alright, sorry, I was impulsive."
After hearing this, Sakura sheathed her blade. As long as it wasn't reselling serum for profit, she had no objections.
"Uh, it's okay, it's okay! Uh, is there anything else you three need me to do? If not, I'll slip away now."
"Wait, I happen to need a guide in Twilight Street. I think you'd be a pretty good tour guide."
Bai Ge said, curling his lips. He didn't expect to be so lucky as to run into Pardo as soon as he arrived in Twilight Street. With a cat-girl as a guide, finding Aponia's nursing home would be a piece of cake.
