It's late at night and the light is slowly fading. Places with a lot of traffic and alleys that no one cares about are clearly divided during this time period.

There was a shadow leaping over a tall building. It blended into the night sky. The shadow couldn't even be seen on the ground. It stopped on the roof of a building.

The shadow illuminated by the moonlight is Helene. Hailin took out the paper from her arms and opened it. It was a map. There were circles marked everywhere on the map, and Helene looked at them with an expression of displeasure.

"It's really troublesome, let me check all the contents by myself." The number of circles is quite large, and the investigation cannot be completed in one or two days.

"How annoying," she muttered, but since it was just the right arrangement, she didn't complain.

Helene put check marks next to the three locations she had already investigated, then folded them and put them away.

Then she took out a black barrel-shaped machine with an equally black button on the top, which was what Ryan had given her before leaving the hotel.

"If you feel in danger, press the button to inject magic." She recalled what Ryan said to her at that time. It is said to tell the holder's location.

Hailin chuckled: "What a worry." A feeling of nervousness and embarrassment welled up in her heart.

Hailin put the machine in her arms and said, "Okay." She looked at the building opposite. It was a three-story rectangular building with windows at equal intervals. Only the corner room on the second floor had lights.

"To make sure, I'd better write people who can see it..."

As she said this and prepared to jump, the wind made a strange sound. Hailin stopped jumping and turned her eyes helplessly to look behind her.

"I expected this, but I didn't expect you to show up on your own, Phantom."

"You actually know me, is it because you are 'my' favorite person?"

Hailin frowned and turned away. In the darkness, there is a figure wearing an eclectic yellow dress, a shiny yellow silk hat on his head, a clown's mask and a colorful cane.

"Well, you really can't share knowledge and memories." Hai Lin said.

Regarding Hai Lin's words, Phantom replied: "You are so calm."

"It is said that you are very hostile to me and it has never changed..."

"Really? Well, let me correct that..."

Before she could finish her words, Hailin disappeared.

Phantom immediately turned around, but there was nothing there.

"The situation has changed suddenly!!"

The sound of wind and sound came from where there was nothing, and the phantom took a few steps back to keep its distance. But in the next moment, Hailin had appeared behind where he jumped, and the sword blade gently scratched his neck.

"Electric fire moves through the air!"

Electricity flows through the Phantom's body and spreads around. At some point, Hailin had disappeared, and she landed far away from the phantom. The phantom slowly turned towards Hailin.

"Did you predict it? Or was it an instinctive reaction? If it was an instinctive reaction, that would be great."

Helene's right hand burst with electricity, and she glared at the phantom. Her face contorted in severe pain, and she dropped the knife in her right hand. Hailin looked at her right hand. The severe pain and numbness prevented her from moving her fingers.

"Is this a magic that electrifies and paralyzes parts? Although it is not conductive, the effect seems to last for a long time."

Hailin calmly analyzed the situation in front of her and narrowed her eyes, thinking that this was a tricky magic.

In an instant, the ground beneath Hailin's feet turned to flashing blue light. Electric shock then erupted from there and struck Helen. However, Hai Lin, who was supposed to be hit by electricity, turned into the wind and disappeared.

Phantom looked around suspiciously, and suddenly realized that Hai Lin had appeared on the roof of the building opposite: "The Art of Confusion, are you really Hai Lin? It's completely different from the rumors I heard."

Phantom nodded, then clapped his hands: "Could you be that guy named Fay? I remember he was good at imitation." Phantom pointed at Helene like a famous detective.

"It's really annoying to be mistaken for him." Hai Lin said angrily in her heart, but the attack did not come.

Phantom shook his head.

"Yes, it seems that there is indeed a big gap in magic power between you and me." Hailin raised her lips thoughtfully, "But my ability to move quickly should not be underestimated."

Helene's plan was neither a show off nor a bluff. So far, Hailin's activities have mainly focused on defeating monsters, investigating, and performing silent missions.

However, since her acquaintance with Renault, she was forced to become a one-on-one warrior in a confrontation of strength, in which she saw her own weaknesses.

For Hailin, who has always eliminated enemies when others are unaware, she is not good at one-on-one battles where both parties are aware of each other. She decided that instead of avoiding her weakness, she would accept it and overcome it, turning it into a strength.

Helene stared at the clown mask with an evil smile on the roof of the building opposite.

"Eye of Fantasy Sealing!"

Hailin's pupils turned red, and she used the "Eye of Phantom Sealing" to confirm that the phantom did not use confusion magic.

"What about fighting methods?" Phantom was a little confused.

"Let's raise the level a little bit. Don't worry, I was told I can't kill you." After saying that, Phantom pointed his finger in the direction of Hai Lin.

Hailin's knife handle suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

"Super dust and lightning!"

Hailin jumped up instantly. However, the winding lightning chased Hailin at high speed. Facing the thunder and lightning approaching from below, Hailin unfolded a barrier.

"This is terrible, Miss Helene." Phantom sneered.

Just before the barrier, the lightning split into five strands. They bypassed the barrier and attacked Hailin's surroundings.

"what!"

Scattered thunder and lightning gathered around Hailin, making a crackling sound of electricity, and Hailin fell down.

"It's so boring." Phantom took a step disdainfully, but realized that Hailin's eyes were facing him when she landed. Those eyes are so bright.

"The storm is rising!"

A high-pitched buzzing sound came from around the apparition. Phantom jumped back instantly, but several wind blades cut his clothes. The phantom spun in place, barely avoiding being cut. Helene fell onto the roof of the building opposite.

"It's so dangerous." Phantom looked down at the cut clothing with a hint of annoyance, and then turned his gaze to Hai Lin.

"You're too careless." Phantom said, approaching Hai Lin, but his knees suddenly weakened. Phantom was surprised, his body trembled slightly and he was unable to use his strength.

"The attack just now was obviously avoided..." Phantom's vision was slightly blurred.

"Concussion? What happened..."

"See where you end up."

Phantom heard a chant-like sound, and when he raised his eyes, Hailin was standing there with a calm face.

"Gu!" Phantom tried his best to use his strength, but still couldn't move. He suddenly felt discomfort in his left leg. He looked and saw that his feet were vibrating as the wind surrounded them around his ankles.

"The attack just now was fake! Is the real attack here?" Phantom finally understood. Hailin deliberately let the electric shock attack her to induce her to relax her vigilance, thus setting the stage for a counterattack.

"This is most likely conductive vibration magic, which produces a concussion-like effect through vibration transmission from the feet to the brain." Phantom's mask trembled slightly.

"Well done, little girl," Phantom muttered, with a hint of regret.

Hai Lin looked at him with a smile.

"Romance!"

The moment Hai Lin recited the spell, the air surrounding the phantom suddenly became extremely cold.
