Time in a collapsing world

After a long discussion, the basic tasks within the Phantom Thief Team were finally assigned and completed.

Kallen was in charge of the operation. She sneaked into the abominable priest's house in the middle of the night, stole all his secretly treasured property and treasures, and distributed them to the civilians, so that the guy could feel the pain of having his precious things taken away.

Otto's mission is to prevent accidents from happening and use his identity to rescue people afterwards. After all, even if it is Kallen, there is probably a 0.1% chance that the operation will fail.

Although the Saint Lady is full of confidence, Otto likes to be prepared for failure before doing anything. This is also a habit he has developed since he got the Void Treasures.

As for Yae Rin, she will wait for orders outside the mansion with Yae Sakura, and will also appropriately attract some of the guards away.

Yae Ri and Theophil were just watching the show the whole time. Their own ranks were too high, and they didn't want to play in such a low-end game, otherwise it would be too disappointing.

Well, actually, the fighting power of Kallen and Yae Sakura compared to that of an evil priest and those ordinary soldiers is roughly equivalent to a father beating his son.

Everyone has their own tasks, and the next step is to think about specific action steps.

"Sister, how can we attract those guards away? We can't show our faces, or our pink hair will easily give us away."

Yae Rin usually seems to be too idle, so even though this operation has almost nothing to do with her, she is still full of enthusiasm.

"..."

Listening to her sister's words, Yae Sakura glanced at the fox ears on her head in the mirror in the room. Indeed, their looks were too iconic to the Fate of Destiny, and being seen with a tuft of pink hair was enough to arouse suspicion, and it was not ruled out that they would leave some hair at the scene when they were in action.

"How many guards are there in that mansion?"

Yaezakura asked Otto, who had just sent someone to investigate and had thoroughly confirmed the target and general information about the target mansion.

"The number of guards is twelve, including eight ordinary soldiers and four elite knights. These guards are divided into two shifts to conduct 24-hour patrols. Each shift has six people, and they are divided into two groups with different numbers of people in each group."

Otto just listened to the report from his subordinates before going out and remembered all the information.

"Ordinary soldiers are mainly responsible for patrolling the perimeter of the mansion, while elite knights are responsible for internal security checks. The patrol routes include the front and back yards, rooftops, and basement entrances of the mansion. If you just want to sneak in, I suggest going directly through the main gate. There will be a period of time when only two ordinary soldiers are stationed there."

"Wait wait wait... Brother Otto, please speak slower..."

Yae Rin took out a pen and paper to take notes, but she had only finished half of it when Otto had already told her all the information.

However, Otto was very gentle to the people present, so he patiently recounted the story several times, and only stopped after confirming that Yae Rin had finished recording.

"Hmm...if there are only two of us, maybe we can just knock him out directly?" Yaezakura pondered, but Yaezakura just shook her finger.

"Sister, you don't understand this. An excellent group of phantom thieves will not use violence against the person they are dealing with, and they will do it quietly. Only on the second day after the crime will the person whose things were stolen find out that their treasures were stolen."

"I think what Rin said makes sense."

Yaeri expressed his support. He noticed that Yaezakura had become a little violent recently and he had to teach her how to use her brain to solve problems.

"Well, Sister Theophile, do you want to come to our place? Your hair is white. Even if it accidentally falls off and is discovered, people will only think it was dropped by someone from Sister Karen's family who passed by."

Yae Rin looked at Theophile, who had walked behind her brother at some point and put his head on his shoulder.

"..."

Theophile shook her head. She felt a little dizzy after listening to the discussion. It was too troublesome. It would be better to make herself bigger and uproot the whole mansion... but Li wouldn't let her.

"Eh~"

Yae Rin wanted to try to get her involved, but Otto volunteered, "Maybe I can help."

After all, he is a member of the Apokalis family, so it is normal for golden hair to appear near the priest's house. It is even more reasonable than the white hair of Kaslana's family.

"Brother Otto, don't you have your own mission?"

"We can do it at the same time. After all, my workload is not that heavy. As long as Kallen is not caught..."

Otto glanced at Kallen, who was holding the mask and thinking about something. As expected, the latter immediately refuted:

"What are you talking about? I will definitely succeed in taking out everything in that guy's safe!"

Otto did not comment and continued to say to Yae Rin: "I already have an idea... If I just want to attract the guards' attention with a new face, I can just disguise myself."

"Brother Otto, can you disguise yourself?"

Yae Rin blinked, and the others looked at him in surprise, wondering when Otto had acquired such a skill.

"It's not a disguise. Sometimes, a change of clothing and some skills are enough to make others unable to recognize you."

"Oh~ Brother Otto, teach me?" Yae Rin seemed to understand but not quite.

"Hehe... I'm afraid this only works in a few cases, and there's a risk of failure. You can ask Li to teach you, maybe his methods are more sophisticated."

Otto looked at Yae Ri with an incomprehensible look, and the latter shrugged with an innocent look on her face.

Otto's interest was aroused, and Yae Rin started to pester her brother again. At the same time, Kallen also had an idea.

"Hey, everyone, as the main force of the Phantom Thieves, should I buy some clothes that suit my status? As a righteous Phantom Thief who punishes evil, I still need to dress up a little bit~"

So, the group moved from Karen's room and came to the largest clothing store in Tianming.

Kallen was selecting clothes suitable for the Phantom Thief's activities from a variety of strange costumes, while Yae Sakura and Yae Rin dragged Theophile to pick out some beautiful local costumes.

Otto and Yaeri walked around for a while and saw a nice men's suit.

Otto was silent for a moment, then smiled, "It suits you very well, Li."

"It looks good to me, and I think the size is about right." Yaeri took a few glances and made her judgment.

"You can try it first. The changing room is inside."

"You are familiar with this store. You must have come here often, right?"

Yaeri thought of the little follower who had been following Otto for a while, the one with the surname Shanyat. It seemed that the girl had a good impression of Otto?

This store also mostly sells women's clothing...Yaeri's expression became teasing.

"It's our family's business after all."

Otto smiled and said, "You can pick and choose. I can have someone send anything you want to you."

"Forget it, there's no need."
