New Clothes

"Gala, gala..."

The strange sounds produced by the friction and collision of the gravel became especially eerie in the special structure of the sewer, and then suddenly a large piece of brick fell off the wall.

Although she saw no sunlight and was surrounded by a sewer that emitted a faint stench, Feng Xue, who nimbly squeezed out of the narrow opening, felt the fragrance of freedom.

Like an eel, Feng Xue slid down from the cave entrance, deftly flipping in mid-air and landing smoothly on the ground.

Even without the Assassin Set, he had undergone considerable Assassin training; aside from the Leap of Faith, such a stance adjustment was still easily achievable.

Just as he landed, Feng Xue suddenly sensed hostility. He pressed his hand against the wound that had reopened due to the sudden change in posture, frowned, and looked down to see a dirty homeless man holding a dagger, slowly approaching him.

"You... you bastard! You sneaked... sneaked up to me trying to steal my tent, didn't you? You wish!"

The incoherent Victorian was transformed by the power of the Translation Konjac. Feng Xue frowned slightly, suddenly feeling a strong sense of déjà vu. Looking at the other person's unsteady gait, he suddenly noticed the needle in the corner and immediately realized:

"Tsk tsk... I'm not Diablo..."

As he spoke, he suddenly opened his mouth wide, and the homeless man, who was in a state of mental confusion, stared in horror as the man in his sight pulled a crowbar out of his mouth!

Yes, the Unspeakable Rod-shaped Object was not placed in the Golden Cabinet by Feng Xue along with the other Phantom Object. In fact, back in the Infinite City, he had already hidden this rod, which "could be put anywhere that looked like a hiding place," in his mouth.

Although it didn't come in handy because of the Shawshank's Spoon, it would be quite fitting for this situation.

Faced with this homeless man who was clearly no longer rational, Feng Xue showed no mercy and beat him wildly. Even with the blood loss debuff, he was no match for a drug addict from the sewers, as he was armed and skilled in dealing with vital points.

After a series of wailing and howling, Feng Xue left the completely unconscious drug addict aside and went into his tent to search for him. She unexpectedly found a first-aid kit, which was normal, since fighting and getting injured was commonplace for these homeless people, and the medical expenses in the Federal Columbia... In short, if they could afford health insurance, they certainly wouldn't be homeless.

After quickly treating her wound with gauze, Feng Xue took off her expensive, worn-out coat.

After thinking for a moment, he decided not to discard it directly. Instead, he activated his Golden Finger and selected elements such as [Assassin], [Stealth], and [Disguise], and added them in.

He figured he was probably going to lose the Assassin Set, so he planned to get a new one. Even if he added assassin elements, it didn't guarantee a success, but as long as he could get a Phantom Object outfit, his safety would be guaranteed. The True Thing outfits he was currently wearing definitely had clothing elements, and with the homeless man's clothes outside, he had a dozen or so chances to try and fail. Even if he was incredibly unlucky, getting a Phantom Clothes shouldn't be a problem.

With the elements already deployed, Feng Xue added another 300 towers of [Knowledge]. Based on his experience, this number should ensure that too many new elements wouldn't be generated, and the Reforge items wouldn't change too much.

Under his tense gaze, the tattered dress, worn down by the harsh environment, began to twist and deform. Fortunately, this time the Smelt did not turn it into a black sphere, but instead, as he expected, it transformed into a set of clothes.

Only...

"Isn't this even more extravagant?" Looking at the neatly folded dress in front of her, which even had a bit of a gothic fantasy style, Feng Xue couldn't control her emotions for a moment, and another bag of salt appeared in her hand.

However, when he switched his Golden Finger to the Knowledge page, his expression immediately relaxed.

Name: Phantom Object - The Phantom of the Opera's Evening Gown

Elements: [Clothing], [Assassin], [Comfort], [Glamour], [Stealth], [Disguise], [Ghost], [Sewers]

Synopsis: The evening gown worn by the Phantom of the Opera blends seamlessly into its environment; its cape assimilates with shadows, granting the wearer a ghostly Ghostly Evasion power.

Note: My love songs only echo in hell.

Without any hesitation, Feng Xue took off her blood-stained shirt, trousers, and even her ill-fitting leather boots, and quickly changed into this exquisite dress. Although she was a little uncomfortable with the scarf on her chest (Corbat, the fluffy white fabric worn on the chest of aristocratic dresses in anime, games, and TV series; by the way, it's essentially a neck warmer), she had to admit that it looked quite stylish—except for that rather ostentatious cape.

Set Phantom Object have both obvious advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you only need one Phantom Object to complete your set of equipment, without having to worry about matching outfits. However, the disadvantage is that it won't work if you can't wear the whole set.

But when he finally draped that somewhat flamboyant cloak over his shoulders, he finally understood the meaning of "assimilation with the shadows."

The cloak, which had seemed somewhat bulky, lost its weight the moment it was attached to the dress, and its form vanished along with it. Only Feng Xue knew that it was still there. When Feng Xue stretched out his arms, he could pull out a shadow from behind him. When this shadow enveloped him, he would also "disappear" into the darkness.

"That's good. It's a bit strange to wear a formal dress on the street, but as long as I don't have that big cape, it's not a problem." Feng Xue fastened the last button, awkwardly adjusted the silk scarf on her chest, and quickly left the "crime scene."

Although it would take a lot of time for the excavator to dig to a depth of more than ten meters, there's no guarantee that Jeston might find out about the sewers beneath the prison through other channels during that time.

Having escaped the prison area and lost her mini-map, Feng Xue could only wander aimlessly through the sewers. However, even the sewers of Colombia, where many people die every year, are not truly interconnected. As long as one follows the traces of human activity, it is not difficult to find the exit.

However, during her escape, Feng Xue suddenly realized a problem: her two recent Reforge her achievements seemed a little too appropriate.

Whether it was the Shawshank's Spoon or the tuxedo from The Phantom of the Phantom of the Opera, they both seemed to fit perfectly. However, this time he no longer suspected a Russian priest lurking in the corner; instead, he considered another possibility—

"Could the Real World environment also affect the Reforge result?"
