Original God's Dark Priest

When Safir returned to the venue, it was just when Coral Palace Xinhai played his last card and won.

The host stood on the stage and excitedly announced the result of the competition: "The winner of the final is - the present-day human god priestess Coral Palace Xinhai from Haizhi Island!"

This time, the ornamental fish finally got a chance to feel proud and won a game, which was a great achievement for itself.

Little Paimeng couldn't help but shout, "We win! Xinhai wins!"

"Wow... that fox demon lady actually... made the hair on my tail stand up." Qi Liangliang was also very nervous. From her expression, it could be seen that this competition was indeed extremely intense.

Just as she finished speaking, Saphir's voice came from behind her: "Then go take a bath and relieve your emotions."

"Eh? Oh, it's Teacher Su Jin! When did you come?" Qi Liangliang was startled, but quickly calmed down.

Saphir stopped teasing her and walked aside and said, "I just got here. It's about time the results of the competition are announced."

"Ladies and gentlemen, sorry for the long wait." Coral Palace Xinhai walked down from the stage and came to the middle of the group.

Ying came over immediately and said, "Congratulations, Xinhai, you finally won."

"Thank you." Coral Palace Xinhai was also very happy. She had not achieved much until now, but this time she finally defeated the Eightfold Son of God fairly, which was really worth being happy about.

Little Paimeng also said excitedly: "Xinhai! I was really worried about you just now! It's really a big loss for Saphir to miss this game."

There was a hint of boasting in the little girl's tone, as if a wonderful game could be something for her to brag about.

As she spoke, she stamped her feet in annoyance again: “Son of God is too cunning, pretending to be helpless and letting Xinhai get rid of one of his cards.

As a result, she actually used two cards that could only be played based on this premise! It was almost a comeback!"

As she said this, the way people looked at her gradually changed.

At first, he was doting with a smile on his face, but then it gradually turned into a solemn expression with a hint of worry and a little bit of gloating.

"Oh, it's so lively here. What interesting things are everyone talking about behind my back?" Yae appeared behind little Paimon. It was obvious that she had heard every word the little guy said just now.

Little Paimon was frightened. After looking around, he hid behind Saphir and only poked his head out: "No, I didn't say anything! I said, it's a pity that you lost, Shenzi!"

Although the explanation is pale and the excuse is even weaker, it is never too late to mend the situation. In any case, saying these words will always make me feel better. Maybe I can get away with it?

This is little Paimon's way of survival, and she is very skilled at it.

Safir shook his head helplessly. This little guy clearly knew that he was a mascot, yet he dared to say anything without thinking. It could only be said that he had not been beaten enough.

Of course, she had no interest in messing with the little guy at this time.

Reaching out and touching little Paimon's head, Saphir looked at Yae Shinko and said, "How do you feel? Do you still dare to underestimate the miko of the Sea Island?"

"I have never underestimated her." Yae Shinko seemed to be in a good mood. "Besides, it's just a game. If I lose, I lose. What's the pity?"

Her expression was so indifferent that Safir suspected that this guy lost on purpose. After this thought came to his mind, Safir rolled his eyes.

The vixen is used to saving face, maybe this is also a way for her to save face, she behaves calmly in front of everyone, without a trace of resentment or regret, which is also a disguised way of telling others that she deliberately let it go.

In fact, Safir really had no idea how capable this guy was, but such behavior could easily make sensitive people have other ideas.

Saphir clicked his tongue: "You are really calm. Why, are you planning on making a few more appointments?"

"That's not impossible. I didn't lose much in the end anyway. Maybe I can win next time. Don't you think so, Miss Deep Sea Tongue Flounder?" Yae Kamiko seemed to be in high spirits and was eager to try the suggestion of playing another game.

As the runner-up, Yae Shenzi was so calm, so naturally, as the champion, Shanhu Gong Xinhai would not be weak in momentum. She also put on a business smile and said, "If Miss Linglong Youdoufu is interested, I am willing to accompany you."

After that, she changed the subject: "However, Ying has a puzzle waiting for me to solve."

Once these words were spoken, the meaning was very clear, and it was a polite refusal.

Yae Shinko raised an eyebrow, but didn't argue with her. Instead, he nodded very considerately: "Is that so? Then I won't bother you anymore."

They are all smart people and won't speak too harshly. The relationship between the two parties is not that good to begin with, so there is no need to act too intimate, which is useless.

"I just happened to go find Goro to play. I haven't seen that pair of furry ears for a long time." As he said that, Yae Shinko looked behind him. There was a pillar over there, and next to the pillar, a dog's tail was exposed. It was obvious who was hiding there.

After hearing this, the owner of the dog's tail ran away as fast as he could.

Yaejinko left and really went to arrest Goro. Looking at her leaving back, Saphir touched his chin: "This is probably the friendship between canines."

"Do you really think there is friendship between those two people?" Ying was very skeptical.

Saphir didn't believe it either, but she just wanted to say it.

Coral Palace Xinhai also looked at the departing back of the scumbag fox with some worry. She was of course very clear that Wu Lang would not be in danger, but, this was that scumbag fox, God knows what strange ideas she would have.

If he fell into her hands, Goro would most likely suffer.

Shaking his head, suppressing the worries in his heart, Coral Palace Xinhai turned to Ying: "Let's get back to the topic just now, Miss Qiliangliang, you have been delivering goods between countries these days, right?"

"Well, there are quite a lot of goods recently, but what does this have to do with the clues about the Phantom Thief?" Qiliang Liang was a little puzzled.

Charlotte added: "The strange thing is that Miss Qiliangliang's footprints coincide with the Phantom Thief we have been chasing all the way."

"That's right, that's the key point." Coral Palace Xinhai nodded. She had no reliable guess as to what the thief wanted to do, but it must be related to Qiliangliang or her goods.

Little Paimon immediately used his imagination and started to make a wild statement: "Could it be that Qiliangliang is the Phantom Thief?"

"Eh? This...you can't say that! I'm just an ordinary courier. You can't wrongly accuse a good person. No...you can't wrongly accuse a good monster!" Qi Liangliang was frightened and quickly began to protest.

Saphir pulled little Paimon over and rubbed the little guy's head vigorously: "What's in your little head? I really want to open it and take a look."

"Hehe..." Coral Palace Xinhai couldn't help but laugh. She could naturally see that little Paimeng was just showing off to liven up the atmosphere.

Saphir let go of little Paimon, and the little guy looked at her with pitiful eyes: "I was wrong, but isn't it normal that Paimon is not good at reasoning?"

"Then you should read more mystery books in the future to develop your rusty little brain, so as to avoid making outrageous remarks that make people laugh." Saphir would not indulge her and pretended to be serious.

Little Paimeng lowered her head somewhat disappointedly. She actually quite liked reading stories, but she always felt it was a little hard to accept being assigned tasks like this.

Shanhu Gong Xinhai coughed lightly, looked at Qi Liangliang and asked, "Ms. Qi Liangliang, among the express deliveries you received these days, are there multiple shipments from the same sender, or sent to the same location?"

"Let me think about it..." Qi Liangliang closed his eyes and thought for a moment before answering, "The senders are different, but each region does have a courier delivery address that is the same."

This caught the attention of little Paimon. She had just wronged Qi Liangliang and was taught a lesson. Now she couldn't wait to help him find out the truth: "Really? Where is the delivery address?"

"This... I can't tell you the details. I can only tell you that it is in Xumi." Qi Liangliang is very professional and cannot reveal customer information even to his closest people.

But her answer was enough. Coral Palace Xinhai further speculated, "Are these goods very light, at most only the size of an envelope?"

"Eh? You...are you one of those big monsters who can have predictive dreams? I heard about it when I was sleeping on my grandma's lap..." Qiliangliang's words once again verified the accuracy of Coral Palace Xinhai's guess.

Coral Palace Xinhai waved her hand and said modestly: "I am just a shaman from Haizhi Island. I like to read novels and military books."

After saying that, Coral Palace Xinhai looked at everyone else. From their current expressions, she could guess something.

Ying had a thoughtful look on her face, while Charlotte was calmer, probably because her guess had been confirmed. As for Sapphire, she just kept smiling, with no expression on her face.

If she was not sure that this matter had nothing to do with her, Coral Palace Xinhai would really suspect that she was the card thief. If this possibility was ruled out, then Coral Palace Xinhai could only guess that Qishu Saphir had already known the truth of the matter, but just didn't say it.

"Your personality is still so bad..." She complained in her heart. Coral Palace Xinhai did not expose her, but just looked at Ying, "How about it, after listening to this, do you think of the same answer as me?"

Ying began brainstorming, gathering all the clues together and analyzing them.

Qiliangliang's goods must be cards. The fact that the footprints of the Phantom Thief and Qiliangliang are so consistent indicates that this is related to Qiliangliang.

Of course it is impossible that Kirara Ryo is colluding with the card thief, so the card thief is using Kirara Ryo, or in other words, he is using Komagaraya who is behind Kirara Ryo.

What is Komagariya? A courier company. What is there to take advantage of? Naturally, it is transportation.

So the card thief is using Kirara to transport the goods.

What kind of cards are worthy of the card thief's so much effort to arrange?

There is only one answer, and that is the precious treasure chest card back!

"Is it the back of the treasure chest card!?" Ying felt as if she had suddenly understood something, and her voice became a little louder.

The feeling of uncovering the truth after layers of mystery is very fulfilling, and it is normal for Ying to be excited about it.

Coral Palace Xinhai nodded slightly, confirming her guess: "Yes, a very perfect answer."

"Ah? It turns out that after chasing him for so long, the card backs collected by the thief have been right under our noses all along?" Little Paimeng was shocked and exclaimed.

Charlotte thought for a while and asked, "But there is still a doubt. Miss Qiliangliang took the goods in Mond first, and then we encountered the thief. The time doesn't match."

"There are two possibilities." Saphir finally spoke up at this time to answer some of their doubts. "One is that trying to cover up something only makes it more obvious. People's feelings about time nodes are very subjective. If someone wants to divert attention, they can repeat it and confuse people. I have done this before."

"Huh? When?" Little Paimon was a little alert.

When she asked the question, she met Safir's half-smiley eyes and fell silent immediately. She felt that if she continued asking, Safir would say something terrible.

Seeing that the little guy stopped asking questions, Saphir chuckled and continued, "Of course, this is just a possibility. It is not easy to do because it requires high mobility and concealment. I am not saying that it is impossible, but it is unlikely, so I prefer the second possibility.

It was a gang crime.”

"A gang committing a crime?!" Ying exclaimed, "The Phantom Thieves of Cards?!"

The corners of Coral Palace Xinhai's mouth twitched. She was still a little uncomfortable with Ying's strange behavior of suddenly naming him, but she quickly suppressed some rude thoughts and nodded, "Well, I think Lord Saphir should have noticed a long time ago that the one you are chasing should be a member of the Phantom Thieves."

When she named him, Saphir shrugged and said, "It's just a guess, but I really have no interest in such a small character. Let Ying and the others solve it themselves."

If she took action, she would probably just pack up and send the other person away, wouldn't that mean there would be no experience at all? In retrospect, Ying would feel like a giant baby.

"What about the others..." Little Paimon was a little nervous. She felt that a huge conspiracy was slowly brewing, and they were now warriors fighting against evil.

Seeing her like this, Coral Palace Xinhai couldn't help wanting to laugh, but he still said seriously: "I'm afraid the others have already collected the card backs and sent them out together."

"If you think about it this way, collecting so many card backs in so many countries is indeed not a task that one person can accomplish." Charlotte nodded. She also realized this point.

Saphir sighed helplessly, "We travel between countries through teleportation anchor points. Who can travel back and forth so quickly by boat? It's impossible for one person to do it... unless that person is faster than me."

This is the biggest loophole, but these little guys just reacted to it. Saphir didn't know what to say. Although she didn't intend to care, she still felt helpless because her teammates were so cute and silly.

Ying and Charlotte scratched their heads a little embarrassedly. Actually, it was not a big deal, but they felt that they were really unprofessional and a little embarrassed.

"But why didn't the guy we were chasing before use Komagariya's services?" Little Paimon discovered the blind spot and asked immediately.

Coral Palace Xinhai shrugged: "I was slow and missed the delivery time agreed by the organization... I think that's probably the reason."

"Like you carried that thing with you for a whole year?" Ying looked at Saphir, and was pinched on the cheek mercilessly by the other party.

What Ying was talking about was naturally the Heart of Thundergod. She didn't understand the cause and effect, but she always felt that things should be like this.

The others cast their gazes on Saphir, who rolled his eyes and pinched Ying's round face: "Those are two different things, don't confuse them."

"Anyway, according to what you said, he only stole once and was seen by others. After that, he used transactions and bets to get the backs of the cards." Coral Palace Xinhai calmly attracted everyone's attention and saved Ying from Saphir's clutches. "I guess this guy is not good at stealing.

The commission that was supposed to be paid to Komagariya was also used by him as transaction funds."

This is similar to someone who has no money to take a taxi and has to walk home.

From this aspect, it can be seen that these people are indeed small minions who only dare to bully ordinary people, and they are very well-behaved when facing Komagariya.

To them, it is a truth that one has to pay for sending express delivery. Komagariya is an existence that these people cannot afford to offend.
