Chapter 1176: What Doesn’t Happen (7)
“The plan itself is absurd, but there is no evidence of manipulation. The self-proclaimed phantom thief obtained the clues left by Assemblyman Seong Guk-eon and the plan of the Demon Tribe and passed them on to me.”
Cheon Dong-ha also agreed with Joo Soo-hyeok.
Even in Cheon Dong-ha’s eyes, the evidence sent by the monster was all real.
In addition, the monster was so elusive that he could evade the police and the association’s pursuit, and he had a rare ability to send a warning to a desired location.
If he utilized the monster’s ability, it would not be a problem to send the clue to Joo Soo-hyeok.
“Jeolheukpungrim would know the most about the Demon Tribe, so I checked. The seal of the Demon God left in the clues sent by the self-proclaimed phantom thief was all real, and the contract was engraved with the blood of a high-ranking priest among the Demon Tribe who followed the Demon God.”
“I can see it too. Each and every clue is imbued with ominous and intense power. But is this really the clue that the self-proclaimed phantom thief sent?”
“Yes, the short letter had the seal used for the notice engraved on it.”
The letter contained the phrase ‘Bonne chance!’ that seemed to have been hastily scribbled down, and the aurora-colored swan pattern, a seal favored by phantoms.
Self-proclaimed phantom thief, Ong Gil-dong left a message in French wishing good luck to the person he was entrusted with a dangerous clue, even in a desperate situation.
Whether he likes swans or not, when he appears, he plays Swan Lake composed by Russian Tchaikovsky as background music, and he usually wears a fancy remodeled costume of a traditional Spanish bullfighting suit, and his words, which seem to be inspired by Celtic mythology, include metaphors related to the slang, making Ong Gil-dong’s concept a mess.
However, the phantom thief’s motif seems to have been taken from the French work Arsene Lupin, a gentleman thief by Maurice Leblanc, and his will was in French.
