"No good!"
Seeing the creature before him, which resembled a water monkey, suddenly climb to its feet and stare at him with an evil and ferocious gaze,
Fan Wu sensed a surge of crisis in his heart.
An alarm bell rang loudly within him.
However, what was unexpected for him was… the creature didn't attack him. He even faintly saw a hint of fear on the face of the creature, with its sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
Fear?
What was the creature afraid of? Surely not... afraid of him, a Hundred Households officer?
That was simply impossible!
As he puzzled over this,
a voice, suddenly familiar to his ears, echoed through the third level of the dim and damp Qintian Judiciary Dungeon, "Little guy, quite nimble. But those lines of text on your head, they're so obvious, how could I possibly overlook them?"
This voice...
It was that thief!
