Chapter 331: The Parasite

In the carriage, Lei Kedun Suosi caught a glimpse of Leonard's body stiffening for an instant, then his mouth twitched slightly, as if he heard Pa Lie Si's unrestrained curses.

After a moment, Leonard, somewhat speechless, sighed aloud.

"Is this the combat style commonly used by the extraordinary who excel at casting spells?"

"No, this should be the combat style favored by thieves and diviners, just love to scare people for fun."

Lei Kedun Suosi replied mockingly.

In mid‑air, Lei Kedun did not put the monocle on his right eye; he merely moved a little closer, then put the monocle away again.

As his right hand moved, he swiftly condensed a long spear; the spear tip bore mysterious symbols, and the shaft resembled a branch.

The sure‑hit spear, "Gang Ge Ni Er"! In the next instant, the spear in his hand flew out, turning into a bright, blazing white lightning, streaking toward the parasitic mouse.

Fu Luo La Ya Ge didn't have time to wonder whether this person was truly A Meng; that strange spear made her feel a deadly threat.

She tried to steal the spear's lock on herself, and unsurprisingly failed.

This lock involved fate; it wasn't something the "Sequence Four" theft could resolve. In that contemplation, she stole the position of a street tree on the ground and placed herself there.

In the sewer, a street tree suddenly appeared, and in the next moment was pierced by a meteor‑like blazing white light, turning into countless fragments.

The blazing white light, like lightning, swiftly cut through, ignoring the surrounding soil and cement, quickly changing direction, breaking through the ground, and attacking the parasitic mouse.

The mouse's silhouette flickered repeatedly, yet it could never evade the chasing blazing white flow behind it.

Damn! What kind of extraordinary ability is this, constantly chasing me? As thoughts turned, she controlled the mouse's body, charging straight into the blazing white behind it.

A violet light swirled in Lei Kedun's eyes, then suddenly vanished.

"Stole my Spy Eye? That's the core extraordinary ability of a Spy, and it's taken so easily? Is it my bad luck or its good fortune?"

"Ah!"

As thoughts turned, he heard a faint yet mournful scream.

It seems it was unlucky; trying to use the Spy Eye to find a flaw in this world, it instead glimpsed the lingering scream of a hidden sage; as soon as it sounded, Lei Kedun instantly understood the cause.

Immediately, a flash of silvery white flickered in his eyes and disappeared.

He reached forward, condensing an ancient‑style spear, from tip to hilt burning clusters of dark crimson blood‑red.

He then hurled it, turning into a dark red stream of light, sinking into the ground, landing at the foretold spot.

"Ah!"

Another mournful scream, as if enduring extreme pain, a resentful roar.

After doing all this, Lei Kedun lightly clapped his hands; a pale blue glow surrounded his eyes, and he directly simulated the Spy Eye's ability, through connection, locating the half‑god thief who had ceased to be mouse‑like.

A bit too simple; while pondering, Lei Kedun extended his left hand forward, conjuring a yarn ball that could indicate direction.

He held one end of the yarn and casually tossed the ball down.

As the yarn ball rolled straight down, it began to gradually shift its bearing, falling toward the opposite direction of that pile of non‑mouse‑like things.

"Indeed!" Lei Kedun murmured softly; his figure instantly became transparent, turning into a statue formed of countless stars.

That statue shattered, turning into dazzling starlight that surged, flowing forward following the yarn ball's direction, then vanished into the ground.

Inside the carriage, Pa Lie Si's now calm voice echoed in Leonard's mind: "Go to the sewer; that thief demigod has abandoned some of its traits, retrieve them first."

"Them?"

Leonard reflexively asked.

Pa Lie Si was silent for a moment, then in a tone not wanting to say more said: "Just go."

In the dim sewer, Lei Kedun's figure coalesced among specks of starlight; just as he raised his hand, he was suddenly stunned.

What was I supposed to do? He was stunned for a moment, unable to recall what he came for.

Lei Kedun furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, and raised his right hand again.

Nothing happened; he again forgot what he was supposed to do.

Thieves, such annoying abilities. What was I just thinking? In silence, Lei Kedun instinctively raised his hand, creating the brilliance of the Sun Domain to dispel the surrounding darkness.

As he acted, nothing else happened around!

The thought in his heart was very strong, constantly resurfacing.

Subconsciously, Lei Kedun reached out and dragged from void a layer of invisible matter, draping it over himself.

"The Emperor's New Clothes," turning him into something that doesn't exist.

Suddenly, Lei Kedun felt his thoughts clear up, no longer fragmented.

Thieves have been stealing my thoughts, discovering I possess too many extraordinary abilities—stealing them is useless? Or they want the most crucial abilities? As thoughts turned, he casually slipped his hand into his coat pocket, took out a pea and tossed it on the ground.

The pea instantly grew, turning into thick green vines that covered the surrounding area like a downpour.

A gray‑black silhouette swiftly materialized and darted outward.

As Lei Kedun had long anticipated, under his right middle finger, a white jade chess piece appeared then vanished.

Under the influence of "The Chessboard of Years," Fu Luo La Ya Ge's actions seemed to enter a region where time flow slowed; both thoughts and movements were unusually slow, her figure almost frozen mid‑air.

In this gap, the surrounding emerald vines intertwined, quickly forming a forest, layer upon layer upward, with no visible top.

That gray‑black mouse silhouette abruptly vanished, then reappeared, repeatedly stealing distance and position, yet never escaping this verdant deep forest.

"Unless you can steal this space, you cannot leave voluntarily; but with your current state, you probably can't achieve that."

As he spoke, Lei Kedun extended his left hand, summoning a fleeting illusory figure around the constantly shifting mouse; she closed her eyes peacefully.

Around her, an irresistible drowsiness arose; the constantly shifting gray‑black mouse silhouette paused, falling into extreme fatigue, wanting to fall asleep.

In the next moment, that fleeting illusory figure suddenly vanished.

The surrounding composed drowsiness abruptly dissipated; the previously sleepy gray‑black mouse's eyes suddenly cleared.
