Chapter 003 Thief Simulator

The elevator door made a ding sound and slowly opened outwards.

Normally in Hollywood movies, the mercenaries should throw a grenade at this moment, but considering that this is their hometown, no one wants to be homeless for half a month and be scolded by their superiors, so everyone tacitly ignored the suggestion.

But as the saying goes, if you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will.

Ji Xu rushed forward and chopped the axe into the gap. He recognized by the feel of his hands that he had hit human bones. Wailing and recoil were transmitted to the palms of his hands. Ji Xu unconsciously loosened his hands and took a few steps back.

Just then, several guns were sticking out from the crack in the door.

In a flash, Ji Xu squatted down and rolled to the left, and bullets hit the place where he had just stood one after another.

No one cared why Ji Xu let go, because newcomers always have all kinds of strange problems of being sad about the passing of time. Or maybe he was cold-blooded enough, but his body didn't support him in killing people - anyway, no one noticed that the safety pin of the grenade hanging on his waist was pulled away.

Bullet shells hit the ground one after another. Amid the accompaniment of rain-like bullets, Ji Xu hid in a corner in a panic. Dust and black smoke rubbed against his face. Suddenly, he heard the enemy's command voice coming from behind, pressing forward step by step and attacking from both sides.

Ji Xu suddenly smiled, bent his knees and sprinted back the same way. The team in front looked at him in surprise.

He rushed to the corner.

--roar.

A huge, close-range explosion occurred under my feet, and my brain buzzed in blankness.

Slowly, his perception and senses all returned. Ji Xu climbed up with the help of the wall with an expressionless face. Looking closely, he seemed even a little angry. He took off his glasses, leaned his back against the wall, and slowly wiped the blood off the lenses with the corner of his clothes.

The troops in the rear were stimulated to advance instead of retreating. Ji Xu did not hear it. The dead silence like white noise was circling in his ears. At a certain moment, he followed his instinct and turned back, and happened to look into the eyes of the team with red eyes.

Ji Xu took a few steps back, holding on to the wall. He nodded, turned around and rushed into the elevator shaft which was as dark as a cave.

The elevator's bridge box was vibrating. Ji Xu pushed hard upwards and jumped to somewhere unknown. The emergency brake device wailed under the heavy pressure, and the security team members who were chasing him were forced to stop at the edge.

With cold faces, they raised their guns and fired at the braking device. For a moment, the bullets were flying around and colliding inside.

“Bang, bang, bang—”

Ji Xu was hiding in the concave part of the mezzanine when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right leg. Based on his limited experience, Ji Xu judged that this was not a puncture wound and there was no bullet left in the wound. The bad news was that the people below were moving out tables and chairs to block the hole.

And the stray bullets are still playing the role of table tennis, and it will take a long time for them to stop.

Ji Xu curled up his body as much as possible to reduce the chance of being used as a hanging net rope. He cut a piece of rope and wrapped it around the artery above the wound, barely stopping the bleeding.

To divert attention, Ji Xu opened the menu.

After he took action, the simulator added a new page, pretending to summarize what the player had done like a normal game:

[You open your eyes, change into new clothes, and burn down the house.]

[You asked a passerby to call the police and stole 2 axes and 1.5m rope...]

Ji Xu had no intention of reviewing the game. He just glanced at it and closed it, returning to the original interface. This time he checked along the border, clicking through it from beginning to end as if he was stuck in a puzzle game.

Then when I touched the pattern in the corner, the interface that popped up covered my face.

Hmm? What is that?

Ji Xu was stunned for a long time and typed three question marks in the chat box.

The other party replied immediately: "I am a chat assistant for mental health and spiritual comfort."

Ji Xu thought about it for several minutes. He felt that even if he was hallucinating due to blood loss, he would not be so creative as to create a customer service team to chat with him, so he checked the pattern again.

The person on the other end seemed to know what he was doing and reminded him, "That's the four characters 'Chat Assistant' in a modified form of small seal script."

“…”

Ji Xu found it outrageous.

This feeling of wanting to complain and being shocked stirred in his chest, perfectly achieving the original purpose, which was to divert the attention from the blood loss and pain, causing Ji Xu to type involuntarily: "Why is your name so long?"

“Although I don’t think this is the point,” the chat assistant dutifully complained, “but you can call me Shudong for short.”

The assistant took the initiative to introduce himself: "My job is just as the name suggests, it is to give players who are mentally broken an outlet to vent. I am not responsible for customer service or giving bad reviews. Do you have a favorite form? According to the poll, 46% of humans prefer cats, 42% prefer dogs, and 100%..."

Ji Xu: "Cactus."

The interrupted assistant: "What?"

Whether it is a tree hole or artificial intelligence, this rhetorical question is full of spirituality.

Ji Xu guessed and repeated: "Cactus."

The other party gave in: "...Excuse me, I am a chat assistant, not a throwing weapon. If you insist on using sand plants as mimicry, please prepare a flower pot and a small amount of water for me. Thank you."

In fact, those who prefer to grow flowers and plants rather than animals fell silent.

Ji Xu believes that he has a good mentality and admirable spirit, and does not need a psychologist, even a virtual doctor on the Internet. After all, a cactus that is watered only every few weeks can definitely tolerate loneliness better than animals.

So he firmly pressed the confirm button.

The sound of bullets colliding had almost disappeared. Ji Xu no longer cared about the life or death of the cactus without a flowerpot and soil. He jumped back to the traction wire rope. With his other free hand, he bit and pulled the remaining rope around his waist with his teeth, and tied a Black knot and a figure-eight knot.

During this period, the system also fell silent, and the surroundings fell into silence for a moment. Ji Xu let go and leaned back, his whole body hanging in the air. Only the echo of his heart beating against his chest rang in his ears, which helped him to judge whether the traction rope was safe enough.

The Ansia Company mistakenly believed that a cage could kill a wild animal, and that they were hunters and only needed to stand patiently outside the cage and occasionally fire a few shots.

Unfortunately, he is a thief and is good at picking locks.

He used his sleeves to protect his palms and began to climb. Time passed by minute by minute, and after an unknown amount of time, a loud noise came from far above his head. Ji Xu untied the knot, jumped onto the mezzanine platform closest to him, and silently pulled out the last waist axe.

I hope the day comes when he won’t poke anyone’s eyes with a pen.

Ji Xu was thinking absentmindedly, no longer paying attention to what was above his head, and listening to the subtle noises outside the door.

Two, no…three people.

The drawback of modern society is that both the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the space must be taken into consideration. If we only reduce the traveling methods of both the enemy and us to running up and down with our own two legs, the side with more manpower will suddenly feel aggrieved.

They can't just jump off the building for the sake of efficiency.

Thinking of this, Ji Xu's slight dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared, and he even became a little calm. After the skill was activated and the elevator door opened smoothly, he tiptoed out like lightning.

The rope was put around a man's neck and pulled back hard. The two sides exchanged positions, and the opponent's unuttered cry was choked in his throat. Ji Xu threw the man into a deep cave, threw out his waist axe, and while the enemy's sight was subconsciously following him, he hit him in the temple with a hook punch, and at the same time kicked the third man in the face.

Five seconds later, the enemy lay dead peacefully, and Ji Xu stood there in confusion.

Am I that good at fighting?

The tough battle that he had expected did not happen, and he even easily avoided the cameras that were running around. Ji Xu blinked, limped over and squatted in front of the two fainted people to collect the spoils.

He put on his Bluetooth headphones.

"Boss, we've finished pouring the sulfuric acid!"

Along with the voice of seeking credit, there was also the sound of corrosion coming from the elevator shaft behind, and the echo of the screams of the unfortunate guy he had just thrown down.

Ji Xu turned back suddenly: “……?”

I really hope the simulator realizes that the player's title of villain should be handed over to the NPC. If this group of people were villains in Hollywood movies, the protagonist would have to die at least eight times.

Normal villains shouldn't pour sulfuric acid, and normal humans can't pry open a tightly sealed iron door with bare hands. Thinking of this, Ji Xu completely forgot that he was the villain. He felt that Anxia Company was mentally stimulated and that's why they reacted like this.

He realized that the note he left had been discovered.

In fact, there was only a sentence written inside: "Thank you for the hospitality." Ji Xu had to prepare for the future. Anxia had accumulated too much defensive force and left it on the 63rd floor. Now Ji Xu had to make them realize again that offense is the best defense.

Then leave the defense on the 63rd floor empty.

It can only be said that the plan was a bit too successful. Ji Xu stripped off the clothes of the person with a similar figure, took out his employee card, kicked the two people facing down one by one, and walked out of the elevator room with his hands in his pockets.

As soon as he went out, he ran into several employees.

As a well-run black group, the various factions of Anxia are like the fiefdoms of ancient princes. No matter how turbulent the situation is downstairs, it will not affect other departments. Seeing other people getting closer and closer, Ji Xu tensed his muscles and held the gel pen tightly in his pocket.

His eyes searched the necks of several people.

Should we start early?

Those people were equally shocked when they saw Ji Xu, but after a few seconds they realized that he was wearing a camouflage uniform and were relieved on the spot.

The case has been solved. It was the security team that just ran over from upstairs.

Ji Xu was alert for a few seconds, and suddenly realized that the expression on the other side was not right, with pity and a hint of understanding. In short, stay away from him first, lest the peace he had gained by luck be exposed by the smell of blood on his body.

The two sides looked at each other politely and restrainedly from a distance, and the atmosphere was so harmonious that it could be selected into Anxia’s current promotional poster.

Seeing one of them enter the tea room alone, Ji Xu thought for a moment, covered his scarred hands with his sleeves, and followed quietly.

He picked up a bottle of liquor as he passed by the wine cabinet next to the entrance.

The people inside turned their heads following the sound.

Ji Xu's palm completely wrapped around the bottle, and he reached out and knocked the narrow mouth of the bottle against the wall. The blood bubbles on his fingers were soaked in the bubbling wine. He asked calmly, "Would you like to drink?"

The other person sniffed subconsciously, and the strong smell of alcohol filled his nose. He took a few steps back with a look of disgust on his face.

"Oh, you don't want to." Ji Xu responded indifferently, walked around to the wooden cabinet behind him, and was about to take the cup. The next second, he suddenly changed direction and quickly strangled his neck.

The man kicked twice, his face turned red, and soon his head tilted and he passed out.

Ji Xu slowly put him in the corner of the sofa, and said belatedly: "You're welcome. I'll always have something else to treat you."
