Time in a collapsing world

"No, no, no, it's not me, you got the wrong person!"

After hearing Ying's words, Pado subconsciously thought that some unlucky guy he had stolen from before came to the door, so he subconsciously said.

Just when I came back to my senses and thought about it, I was stuck in the room with no way out, so why should I quibble? Hearing the sound of the door being split open just now, Pado immediately knew that the other party had a knife and was very strong. After all, ordinary people couldn't split the entire door with one knife.

To sum up, Pado chose to lie down. Alas, is his career as a thief about to end here?

Goodbye, Brother Li.

Goodbye, Brother Jie.

Goodbye, Sister Nia...

But just when she was about to draw her neck to be killed, she heard the sound of the knife being sheathed.

What's going on? No more killing? It sounds like this... does that mean she doesn't have to die?

Padu was overjoyed and raised his head, only to find that the person coming was Sakura, whom he had met before. She had long pink hair and a plain but delicate face. But what was that on her head? Fox ear pendant?

Of course, it wasn't just that they had met, it seemed that I had actually stolen their belongings...

Glancing at the long knife at Ying's waist, Pado swallowed carefully. There was still hope. As long as this sister didn't know that he had stolen her things last time, then he still had hope of surviving.

"Um...sister, long time no see. You haven't forgotten me, right? I'm the little Pado who had dinner with you last time~" Pado approached Ying Tao with a smile.

"Yes, remember." Sakura watched Pado move uncomfortably in front of her and didn't pay attention. Anyway, she had blocked the only exit. It was not easy for this girl to run out. .

"What are you going to steal again this time?"

"..."

Pado's heart thumped, and she suddenly felt something bad. "Again"... It's over. This sister already knows that she stole the box last time. What should I do? Will you fall to your death if you jump from the seventeenth floor? This will definitely happen! She's not a real cat!

"Sister, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Pado was still very close to the door, but Sakura's eyes stayed on her. Pado felt that as long as she made a move to escape, the other party would Take action immediately, or draw a knife.

"Where's the box?" Sakura asked calmly.

"What box? Sister, there are so many boxes in this room, which one do you want?" Pado pretended to be confused and decided not to let go.

"Hand over the one you stole."

Sakura's thumb pushed the mouth of the scabbard, and this subtle movement completely eliminated the luck in Paduo's heart.

"Sell it..." Pado murmured, but seeing Ying frown, she quickly explained: "I can't help it! Life is forced, if I don't sell it, I won't have money to eat, and if I don't have money to eat, I will starve to death. , I won’t be able to save the money to redeem it after I starve to death, and if I don’t redeem it, I won’t be able to return it to you, sister!”

Paduo talked a lot and was full of desire to survive.

At least Sakura felt it, so she didn't embarrass her and just asked: "Where did you sell it?"

"Sold to...uh..." Pado rolled her eyes. How did she know where it was sold? After such a long time, she has sold hundreds to hundreds of things, if not a thousand, and the buyers are all different, so it is too difficult for her to recall them.

But if she didn't want to get up, would this sister get angry and kill her immediately with a knife?

Pado was scratching his head and scratching his head in anxiety. How about making up a random one and asking this sister to go away temporarily?

"Forgot?" Sakura saw through Pado's thoughts at a glance, but she did not show an angry expression.

"Uh..." Pado scratched his head, ran behind a table, shrank his body in, only exposed his head, and acquiesced.

"Then forget it." It has been a long time since the incident, and the fine required for the loss of the equipment has been handed over. Even if it takes time and effort to find the equipment, it will only get the fine back, which does not matter to Sakura. It's not important, what's important is that she completes the task and returns home as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Sakura frowned again. This was the room where her mission target lived, but there was no one else in there except Pado, the thief. He didn't come back after so long. Did he find out that he had come to the door?

And Pado, who was shrinking, was greatly relieved when he heard that Sakura no longer cared about that matter. Fortunately, this sister was quite considerate and not as straightforward as when she first appeared. The door showed cruelty and ruthlessness.

"Then this sister... Since there is nothing else, should I leave first? I have other things to be busy with..." Pado stood up from behind the table and approached the door behind Ying step by step, but just When she was only one step away from the door frame, she felt her shoulders being grabbed.

"...Sister, do you have anything else?" Paduo's body was trembling, fearing that the other party would suddenly regret it. If Sakura wanted to take action, at such a close distance, she might really be chopped into pieces.

"I would like to ask, did you see the original owner of this house before you entered it?" Sakura did not have the habit of killing people at will. She just wanted to get some information about the target from the thief.

"Ah...that's it..." Pado patted his chest, "I saw it, just when I was stealing things...ahem, visiting the room, he also came in once, but it scared me. It broke. He left after just a few minutes and forgot to close the door, but I was kind enough to help him close it, and he has never come back until now..."

"..."

Sakura looked at Pado silently. The defector from the Fire Chasing Moth was always tense at all times, and his detection awareness was also at its highest, fearing that the killer from the "Poison Chrysalis" would suddenly jump out of nowhere. He came out and killed them, but if during this period, the door he forgot to close was closed by someone, then he would not be stupid enough to enter a room where there was already an intruder.

Now, I'm afraid he has run far away and will never come back, right?

"Um...sister, did I do something wrong?" Pado asked carefully. Although Yingying's expression was always calm, she felt inexplicably as if she had ruined someone else's good deeds?

"No, it's nothing serious. It's all fate." Sakura shook her head, not blaming Pado for this, only blaming herself for coming too late.

However, Sakura was about to return in vain, but suddenly the fox ears on her head moved and she heard new noises outside the door.
