Among the five thieves who appeared in the "Glorious Capital Pavilion", where Lapitilica is staying, three were killed and one was captured. The last one used a VMB's original gun called GPS Tracking Darts and deliberately let the transmitter escape by shooting it in.

Now he grabs the collar of one of the captives and makes sure he drags it to the detached house where the convoy is guarding him. The dragged thief is held by his hand near the thigh of his right leg, severed by the throw of a tomahawk, and is dragged silently.

I see a convoy of escorts guarding the house away. He noticed me dragging something like a thief, and about three escorts came running over.

"Mr. Shaft! Is that the thief?!

"I killed three people just a little way into the north. Let me turn people around and collect them. And hear the back from this guy."

So I threw the dragged thief man in front of the escort, and I walked into the house.

Inside the house is still an alert attitude. Seeing me show up in the living room, the captain of the convoy and Ashley approached.

"Shaft, are you hurt or something?

"Lord Shaft, you seem safe. What happened to the thief?

"No injuries, I'm fine. Five confirmed thieves, one captive and one deliberately let go"

"Did you let him get away on purpose? Why would it do that again?

"We can locate the thief who let him go, we're going to head there. I want the captain to guard the inn like this, I left the captured thief to the escort, get the intel."

"It's our job to protect you. I don't mind that, but are you going alone?

"Yes, it's easier for one person to move, and the way I fight is solo. Ashley, give Lapitilica a rest now, 'cause there may still be thieves lurking around, but tomorrow's date will get in the way."

"Okay, but Shaft, if there was a nobleman ahead of the thief's escape, he'd turn right back and never attack you, would he?

"You're saying it's not good to get your hands on nobles?

"Yes, only royalty or nobility is punished for nobility. I'm allowed to defend myself on the spot, but it's not good to attack later."

"- Okay. Let's remember."

If the thief escaped to the noble mansion, blow it up and solve the problem! I thought it would taste bad to get your hands on the nobles... I accidentally thought of the faces I put my hands on, but no nobles...

I'll leave the progress report to Master Lapitilica to the captain and Ashley, and I'll go after the thief who let him go.

I'd rather crush it when I can than continue in a situation where I don't know when I'll be attacked.

Once upstairs, head to the bedroom assigned to me, where I start the TSS (Tactical Support System) and retrieve the FMG9 and the magazine and silencer.

Smith & Wesson E&E Tomahawk and Wellrod ver.VMB alone are anxious to arm themselves if they are to infiltrate.

Display the map on the window monitor and check the current location of the transmitter. The GPS light point is shown where I've never been near it before. The GPS light point floats in the area that I haven't been able to map and is masked.

We finished our preparations and set off to a position where the light point of the GPS transmitter remained.

The sun is completely down and the time is almost 24: 00. Run through the streets of Venere avoiding a glance and close to the point of light. The thief undoubtedly appears to be inside Venere, but it does not look like there is a building near where there is supposedly a light point.

Pull out the wellrod sitting on your hips and approach the light point while holding with both hands so that you can fire at any time. There is no way to move to the light point, the map shown on the lens of the Kevlar mask is also finished mapping, showing the map near the light point, but there is nothing there.

There are no other light points around, I can't even hear the sound moving on the sound collecting sensors. Stone building closest to the GPS light point...... is this a tavern and lodger? Already the liquor store is closed and you can hear men and women gasping from several places from private rooms upstairs in the Inn......

The tension is about to break off, but the sound runs up on the roof of the building with a wall run, trying not to be aware of it.

The light point still doesn't move. There's only one unfolding I can anticipate anymore, hiding my body on the roof of the building, looking down at the position where the GPS light points float - it's like a material storage area, with stone bricks and wood.

A black shadow can be seen lying where the GPS light point floats. Explore the perimeter, but nobody else seems to be around. Just in case, switch the lens to NV (Night Vision) mode, FLIR (Infrared Thermography) mode and make sure no one is around.

As we approached the black shadow of the point of descent from the roof of the building, there was still a thief lying on the loose.

"Erased..."

Apparently, the thief who deliberately let him go met someone here and said he was erased by that person? Is it still unclear whether it is nobility behind this or some chamber of commerce?

The black outfit on the thief's back has a circular GPS transmitter flashing dull about 1 cm in diameter. They wouldn't have noticed this and turned it off. No, who in this world knows about GPS etc. I mean, maybe this thief's employer, or the Dark Alliance, was going to kill these thieves, regardless of whether the raid was successful or not.

With such reflection, the GPS light point is touched from the TSS map display and the display is deleted. At the same time, the GPS transmitter attached to the body of the thief in front of him disappeared into a small particle of light.

I deliberately let the thief go, but there was nothing to accomplish, and I came back to the "Glorious Capital Pavilion" thinking it was a waste of time. Tell the captain of the convoy that the thief who let him escape was murdered, and see if he heard anything from the thief who cut off his right leg and tied him up, and he will say nothing.

I can't help it, Master Lapitilica didn't want it, but do you want to extract information by torturing me...

Interviews with thieves are conducted in one of the main building rooms. He and the captain headed to that room, and the thief, seated in a chair and tied up with ropes, was removed from his black headscarf, and looked down to drool.

"What do you say, did you say anything?

"Mr. Shaft, Captain, this guy is talkative. I don't speak my name or anything."

"Captain, get me an escort who can use healing magic, and if you can't speak with your mouth, let your body speak."

"Right, let's get you two. If you take turns, you'll be listening until morning."

I saw the drooling thief's body tremble in response to me and the captain's voice. Apparently, the limits are already close.

"Hey, you. You know me?

Stand in front of the thief and crouch in. Grab the hair of a drooling thief and look forward. That's my Kevlar mask right there.

"... shaft"

"Ho, you've got my name in this city, too. You knew me and tried to assault Lapitilica."

The thief's face was a man with a slightly deeper dust, resemblance to Asian descent. Her hair was dark brown and cut short, but she couldn't even grasp it. Those eyes are moving around trying not to look me in the eye.

"From now on, I'll cure magic while I strip your face until morning, strip and heal, strip and heal, until morning. You don't have to say anything, don't you know anything anyway?

My sound sensor can hear the heart of the thief in front of me pounding so hard. His heart rate is up and he's giving him such a heartbeat that he's about to break through his chest.

"I'm not going to ask you anything anymore, if I break you till morning, I'll stick you in the most prominent spot in Venere. I'll let you know what it's like to tell Lapitilica I'll escort her."

The eyes of a thief who couldn't see each other and was shaking around are looking at me with eyes that look at something incredible.

"Nah, I won't stop dying. I can cure magic. It's just..."

With that said, I took off my Kevlar mask while keeping my eyes on the thief and exposed the zombie face in front of it.

"It's just that your face will look like this."

Exposed in front of me, peeled cheeks of facial expressions, peeled eyeballs, red swollen rotten foreheads, a thief man who was shown such a zombie face in front of me showed enough fright to shake with tremors in every hand of mine, even though I was grabbing my hair up.

"Stay, wait! I'll talk, I'll talk about anything, so give me a break!, please, please, please..."

You broke it.
