Chapter 137 Return and Enter Again

As soon as Ye Xuan finished speaking, he heard a "puff" sound.

The thief stuck the shovel into the pile of sand removed from the cave and said, "You want to trade with me?"

In fact, using a shovel is not easy.

"No," the man who wanted to slack off shook his head, "I want to switch with the guy upstairs."

The thief was silent.

The urging voices from upstairs also stopped.

The person who said this also understood that it was not reasonable for workers to replace commanders.

But it shouldn't be a problem if I just say it casually, right?

He didn't really want to go up there and give orders; he was just trying to liven up the depressing atmosphere of digging the tunnel.

Doing this kind of physical work - no, it's simply hard labor - is already uncomfortable, so it's not wrong to entertain yourself, right?

However, he found that after he tried to "heat up the atmosphere", it became a dull occasion.

Isn't this the perfect time to complain?

How come no one has the intention to complain?

Uh, maybe those two were complaining silently in their hearts?

It's not impossible, after all, that's what I often do.

Ye Xuan didn't think there was anything wrong with judging others by his own standards; he just thought it was human nature.

Many people tend to use their own thoughts to speculate about others.

Forget it, even if no one pays attention to me I will continue with my plan to escape.

By the way, when he and the Phantom Thief successfully leave here, does that mean they have reached a cooperation?

Then you can use the system to determine whether the belt is real or fake.

He didn't want a word he blurted out to make the thief doubt his "craftsmanship".

Why did you say directly at that time that the belt seemed to be fake?

The Phantom Thief's mood changes at that time were quite obvious, which was not conducive to the thief making the right choice.

Some phantom thieves are regarded as "stupid thieves" because they are unable to escape with the stolen goods after sending out the warning letter. Instead, they are arrested or return empty-handed, becoming a big joke in people's eyes.

This thief is quite capable and confident.

Anyone who dares to declare himself "the most talented thief in the city" must have extraordinary confidence.

Even if we escape now, we have basically lost the ability to take further action.

After being stolen once, even if the stolen item was a "substitute" used to cover up the theft from the beginning, it is still an excuse to end the party early.

Would the host of the banquet choose to continue holding the banquet, risking theft again?

Unfortunately and fortunately, it was the organizer of this banquet.

"No wonder I didn't hear any noise in the ventilation duct..." Ye Xing understood after listening to the voice upstairs reporting the current situation in the banquet hall in real time.

It turns out that it’s not that they didn’t notice the jewellery was missing, but that they used projection to replace it after the display case was empty for only a few seconds.

What an amazing foresight and ability to act!

If it were him, he might not even be able to think of a projection plan.

After all, who throws a party where jewels are on display, fully prepared for them to be stolen?

Even after receiving the notice, many organizers just laughed it off and did not take it seriously.

He also knew that countless "Phantom Thief Pranks" occurred every year, and some idle people, children, and people with middle school syndrome would send self-made notices to the official email addresses of many banquet organizers just for fun.

It's just a joke, can you guys not take a joke?

That's right, every year a lot of police resources are wasted on such meaningless matters.

Although the security team hired for this banquet had many quirks, their business capabilities were ranked among the best in the industry.

Moreover, it is not easy to invite them to be responsible for the security of the banquet.

Nowadays, most security companies no longer accept work for events that have been sent "Phantom Thief Warning Letters".

The reason is simple. Some people like to take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

The notice letter was fake, but the theft of the treasure was real.

Those who were not the ones who gave the warning were not considered suspicious by the security personnel.

However, the act of stealing was indeed done by them, not by the "Phantom Thief".

Pranksters who blatantly “gave notice” that they would come to steal treasures were thrown in jail.

The security company should be held responsible for this kind of thing which cannot even be called a "false and wrongful conviction".

Ye Xing put himself in the other person's shoes and thought about it. If it were him, he would naturally not want to get involved in such trouble.

Stay away from it if you can. It’s worth the money anyway.

"Finally, I dug it through..." When he saw the light shining above the end of the tunnel, he was so tired that he fell down.

[The real NPC Ye Xing died of exhaustion from digging a tunnel at the age of two...

wrong!

He is still alive!

Moreover, being thrown away by the Phantom Thief as an obstacle - can be considered a successful escape.

Ye Xuan was thrown into the green belt outside the banquet hall and felt dizzy.

He sat up with difficulty and brushed the dust off his head.

Did the Phantom Thief clear too much sand and soil earlier?

It was as if he was swept away like garbage.

However, being able to come out is a good result.

As long as the result is good, there is no need to pursue the details of the process.

He would not admit it because he was worried that the thief would beat him if he told the truth.

After all, anyone who has the courage to steal in person after sending a warning letter probably has some kung fu skills.

"Leave now?" Ye Xuan found that he could no longer hear the voice from upstairs.

Yes, the other party’s communication range is only within that “small black room”.

I don’t know what the other party’s purpose is in helping them.

It can't be that it's just for the sake of helping others, right?

Thinking of the strange laughs that had come from that voice, Ye Xing was unwilling to believe that the other party was a good person who was wholeheartedly helping them without asking for anything in return.

Although there are people who have a sharp tongue but a soft heart, he doesn't think the other person is that kind of person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

He has never played the game himself, so he doesn't know much about the settings of the game characters.

However, now he feels more like being "played" in the game.

Shouldn’t real-life NPCs be guiding, auxiliary characters?

How did it become something that players used for fun!

He thought about the prank and became angrier.

No, he wants to establish himself as the best real-life NPC in the industry!

It’s true to think so, but it’s not that easy to implement.

At least at this moment, he was sitting on the ground with no image at all.

Moreover, players who watched the official screen recording could also see that he was picked up by the Phantom Thief with one hand and thrown out.

It seems that we have lost the opportunity to establish a leading position...

However, there may still be hope!

As long as you can easily complete tasks that are difficult for players to complete, they will definitely look at you with admiration!

Aren’t all gaming masters worshipped?

Ye Xuan, who has never actually played the game, has such a simple idea.

What he didn't understand was that even if a real NPC completed the task perfectly, some people would think that it was because this person was an employee of the game company and the game gave him a break.

Moreover, pure gamers who are good at playing games are sometimes also criticized.

There is no absolute side to things in the world.

It is understandable that he does not understand this as he has only been in society for a short time.

It's a bit pitiful for some people who only figure this out after half of their lives.

Some people think that everything in the world should be divided into black and white without any distinction.

it's out of the question.

"There are no pursuers, right?" Ye Xing saw the strange thief push himself up with both hands and flip out of the cave swiftly and neatly, which was in stark contrast to himself.

Now people watching the video will feel that he looks even more embarrassed.

He looked around, not even a single person in sight: "Probably."

Those security guards were elusive and you never knew when they would pop out.

The cake might still be being shared in the banquet hall as usual, and this time is exactly the time specified in the invitation for cutting the cake.

That's why he initially thought that those in the banquet hall were just extras waiting to have a piece of cake.

He had never seen such a time arrangement specifically stated in an invitation to a banquet before.

However, he has only attended a few banquets so far, so it is normal that he has not seen it.

Divide the cake...

The jewels hidden in the cake will be revealed at this time!

It doesn’t really matter what you get. If it weren’t for the mission requirement, Ye Xing would never have thought about “sharing the loot” with the thief.

But, whether there is something that can be divided is the key point.

If it's hard to tell the real from the fake, why not just steal from both sides?

In case the belt is really a substitute, they will have more options.

Besides, whether to wear it or not, or whether it is fake or not, you can think about it after you stay away from this area.

It was always good to be able to stay away from the security personnel. He was constantly worrying whether he would be caught again in the next second.

"It's time to divide the cake. Would you like a piece?" he said to the thief in a nonchalant manner.

He believed that the other party could understand what he meant.

"Okay," the Phantom Thief agreed readily, "It is said to be a very precious cake. It would be a pity if we don't try it."

That’s right, this person had already learned the secret hidden in the cake from the voice upstairs.

"Then, let's go." Ye Xuan didn't expect the other party to agree to return to the banquet hall.

After all, they had managed to dig a tunnel and escape.

The Phantom Thief seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and smiled nonchalantly: "Even if we get caught again, we can always get out through the existing tunnel."

The room was too dark and there was no light source, and judging by the "not much to do" attitude of the security guards, they probably had no intention of looking, and wouldn't want to fill it in even if they saw it.

Ye Xuan thought to himself, how come this person's ideas are simpler than his?

This is using the small dark room as a save point!

Unfortunately, it’s not some survival horror game safe house, nor is it where the “suspects” are held.

I ignored them just now because the banquet was going on, but what if I go in next time, will they decide to send them to the police station?

It's dangerous, okay!

As a Phantom Thief, shouldn't he be more aware of the crisis? !

Ye Xing sighed helplessly and took out two sets of cross-dressing suits from the closet.

By changing his appearance, even if he was sent to the small dark room by security personnel again, at least he would not look like he was in prison for the second time.
