Chapter 107: Caught You

This is a loose-fitting cloak that is pale blue all over, with no flashy patterns on it.

Setting aside its functionality, from the outside, it seems to be nothing more than a piece of Pingpingwuji rag.

Calling it a rag is a bit excessive, because under Mira's meticulous craftsmanship, this cloak feels very good to the touch; it is not only not scratchy, but it also does not feel rough.

The reason for its simple appearance is also very simple; one can understand it after thinking about it for a moment.

How could a piece of clothing focused on concealment possibly have an eye-catching appearance?

"I'll take this one."

Yun Mu came before Mira and told her the item she wanted to buy.

"This one? Two hundred and seventy Gold Frost Coins," Mira quoted the price.

Two hundred and seventy Gold Frost, at a forty percent discount—that means the original price was four hundred and fifty.

Twitching the corner of her mouth, Yun Mu took fifty Gold Frost Coins from her pocket, then took out her Frost Bank Credit Card.

"Um, I don't have that much cash on me."

She said with some embarrassment, then immediately added: "I can come pay the rest tomorrow."

In any case, she had to go to Frost Bank every night, so stopping by an ATM to withdraw some money wouldn't be any trouble.

It was just a bit of a pity; she had wanted to test the cloak's Invisibility effect right now.

"It's fine, you can pay whenever you want, as long as you don't drag it out too long." Mira shook her head casually and handed the Concealment Cloak to her.

"Want to try it out now?" The other party winked at her.

"Can I?"

Taking the cloak from Mira's hands, Yun Mu asked, somewhat surprised.

After receiving an affirmative answer, she immediately draped the cloak over herself.

It was very light, and it barely affected her body's movement at all!

Using her Spirituality to communicate with the magic runes inside the cloak, Yun Mu's figure instantly vanished into the Shadow, then emerged from the other end of the Shadow.

Hiss, how thrilling!

She turned her head to look behind her; that was the distance she had displaced.

Just a moment ago, with the help of the Concealment Cloak, her body had escaped into a space wrapped in Shadow.

Inside that space, she could not hear any sound, nor could she perceive any living things.

She only felt her limbs and torso being wrapped by a layer of Soft bubbles; just by taking a light step forward, she had advanced nearly four meters in the real world.

"Whew, what was that just now?" She looked at Mira, wanting to get an answer from her.

"You just entered the Shadow Realm." Mira knew what she was asking and explained to her:

"The Shadow Realm is the world within shadows, but it isn't actually a complete space."

"Rather, it is a concept manifested from the Ether of shadows."

"This cloak can briefly turn your body into shadow, giving you the qualification to travel through shadows."

Mira pointed her finger at the shadow under her feet and said: "On moonless nights or in caves, you can maintain your state within the shadow to move forward."

"But in places with light, you can only jump into the shadows of other people or objects."

"Or, like just now, use your own shadow as a springboard to advance one step in the Shadow Realm."

Mira raised her left hand, held up her index finger, and said: "In the Shadow Realm, one meter you perceive is roughly seven meters in the real world; you must remember this."

"Mastering distance is a basic skill for every Shadow Thief or Assassin; although you are only entering the Shadow Realm with the help of a Magic Item, you must still keep this in mind."

"Otherwise..." Mira smiled somewhat mysteriously.

"Otherwise..."

Yun Mu swallowed. She suddenly thought of how, in the anime or novels she watched in her past life, it often happened that because of incorrect teleportation coordinates, one's body would get stuck inside a wall.

That kind of just getting stuck is fine, but if the body were instantly severed... "It's not as terrifying as you think~" Hearing Yun Mu voice her thoughts, Mira laughed softly.

"What you're talking about is a problem that only occurs with spatial teleportation; you are traveling through shadows, so if you don't grasp the distance well, the worst that will happen is you'll bump into a wall or appear right in front of an enemy's weapon."

Bumping into an enemy's weapon is also terrifying, okay?

Just thinking about it—she performs a Shadow Assault, just emerges from a shadow, and then happens to bump into the muzzle of an enemy's gun... "I will practice well," Yun Mu said immediately, thinking of the image in her mind.

Besides letting her body escape into the Shadow, this cloak also had an Invisibility function.

In the Game Panel, these two functions were integrated into one skill, but in reality, these two functions could be activated separately.

Yun Mu channeled her Spirituality, injecting it into the runes at the bottom of the cloak.

Her body gradually became blurry, then vanished into thin air.

After her body became invisible, she first looked at her own hands, then looked down at her feet.

Very good, no shadow! Although it felt very unscientific, and she didn't know how this thing achieved it.

But that didn't hinder Yun Mu's fondness for it.

First off, she was a very decent person and would not use Invisibility to do those sordid things.

Even if she wanted to look, she would look openly and aboveboard, okay!? Ah no, what looking or not looking.

She didn't have that thought at all!

Leaving the room deep inside the Old Witch Clothing Store, Yun Mu followed behind Mira while remaining invisible the whole time, returning to the original room.

Lita had already been spat out from the stomach of the Dust-Eating Flower by this time.

She was sitting on the chair in front of the counter, tapping the counter with her finger in boredom.

And Edward, after Mira came out, immediately noticed Yun Mu following behind Mira, maintaining her state of Invisibility.

He smiled silently at Yun Mu, but did not expose her.

"Where is Miss Yun?" Lita looked at Mira and asked, feeling a bit strange.

"She is still changing clothes." Mira cooperated with Yun Mu at this moment, casually finding an excuse to brush it off.

"I see." Lita did not suspect anything; she simply continued to tap her fingers lightly on the counter out of boredom, seemingly to some melody in her heart.

As for that Dust-Eating Flower, upon discovering that Mira had come out, it immediately leaned toward her ear to report the measurement results.

"Mm-hmm, I understand."

Mira stroked the head of the Dust-Eating Flower, but her gaze was directed toward the location where Yun Mu was currently situated.

"Hm?"

Lita turned her head back in some confusion; she had just felt as if someone were blowing into her ear.

However, she saw nothing at all.

Just as she thought it was her own illusion, a strand of hair by her right cheek was gently lifted, tickling her face.

"Hoo~"

A gust of cold air suddenly blew across her neck, and then, a faint voice sounded beside her ear.

Yun Mu gripped Lita's shoulders tightly with both hands and said, enunciating each word clearly:

"Caught~ you~"

PS: Guess why one meter in the Shadow Realm is equivalent to seven meters in reality? It has to do with a game; just consider it a little Easter egg.

Although there is no reward for guessing correctly.
