Chapter 134: The Phantom Thief Something is Wrong with This Phantom Thief
No way, he's really a fake person, right?
Ye Xing looked at the completely still figure of the thief and felt that this speculation was very reasonable.
He is a phantom thief.
It must be an unexpected and winning move!
Do I have to "share the spoils" with such a person?
How should he contact the other party?
Seeing that the thief who was right in front of him had disappeared, Ye Xing began to consider his own path.
This banquet hall is actually not that big. It is big enough to accommodate guests, but it can’t hold too many things.
Therefore, there are probably not many places where people can hide.
He recalled how people in the movies sneaked into or escaped from the banquet hall, and it seemed that some of the methods were quite applicable.
For example, hiding in a dining car, cleaning car, or trolley, one can easily select a means of transportation and be taken away.
Or, you can crouch down and move forward carefully in the ventilation duct to directly connect multiple rooms upstairs and downstairs.
In addition, he would disguise himself and blend into the crowd, approach the target and take decisive action, then quietly leave the scene.
These all seem good and are not without their own practicality.
As long as you have the props in the mall, some things that are difficult to do in reality will become a hundred times easier.
He suddenly felt inexplicably confident. Although he had only seen those scenes, it would probably not be any different if he experienced them in person.
How many people have been deceived by the idea of "I can do it too", thinking they can do it just by looking at it, but this is actually causing trouble for themselves.
For example, Ye Xuan, who is now stuck in the ventilation duct, feels a bit troubled.
He looked at his clothes that were caught on a protruding screw and felt like crying but had no tears.
No, is this ventilation duct installed seriously?
How come there are still screws like this who don't stay at their own jobs properly, but instead stick their heads out to watch the fun!
Forget it, let's try to break free first. If we miss the time when the thief strikes, the "division of the loot" will never be possible.
He struggled hard - in vain.
The quality of this clothes is really good, haha.
It is indeed high-end clothing with effects, so it makes sense that it is sold at a high price.
Before entering the ventilation duct, he went to the closet and picked out a "nightgown" suitable for doing such sneaky things.
However, if you are hooked by this kind of clothing with defensive bonus, you cannot escape by "tearing the clothes off".
This is also his experience.
If he were to go to the forum after the game is released, he might have the urge to post in the "Strategy Analysis" section of the Yumeng official forum.
However, the post must have been made anonymously.
After all, this "talk of experience" is not cool at all, and it will only make you cry if you talk about it too much.
If you choose to forget the real NPC, the game content will automatically record the screen for players to watch. You can also open the panel and select new props.
There are so many good props in the mall, it would be a waste not to use the free ones.
He tried several props and it took some time, but fortunately the effect was good.
After escaping with the help of props, he took a look at the map on the invitation - in addition to the location of the banquet hall, it also showed the interior of the banquet hall.
However, not much is outlined, only a rough outline.
Only places like the bathroom where guests need to be informed of their specific location are drawn in some detail, while the rest of the parts are almost finished with a single line.
In short, it was quite simple and sloppy, making it even more confusing for those who couldn't see the direction in the ventilation duct.
However, his main purpose was not to go anywhere, the map was just a little bit of an aid.
This is his plan.
Since there is a possibility that the thief will walk through the ventilation duct, he can go there too. In this way, they may meet and then discuss cooperation.
Naive, too naive.
I wonder what the thief would think if he knew he was thinking this way.
In short, Ye Xuan, who firmly believed that the game mission would not be too difficult, moved calmly in the ventilation duct.
He is a "mysterious man" who has even lived in a sewer. What can a mere ventilation duct do to him?
After going around in circles, Ye Xuan finally realized how stupid this plan was.
What if the thief didn't go through the ventilation duct? Wouldn't he have wasted his time and energy in vain?
Moreover, it is easier to keep an eye on where the jewelry goes in the banquet hall.
If the thief had taken action at this time, he would at least be able to see whether the other party was attacking the display cabinet or the cake.
So he found a secluded place and crawled out of the ventilation duct.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stuck his head out, he saw a sharp blade pointing directly at him.
No way, what is this?
He mustered up the courage to look at the other person and found that the man holding the knife was wearing a security uniform.
Now, do you all like to use cold weapons?
Or is this the timeline of this map?
He did not investigate the specific background of the task before being forced to answer the multiple-choice questions.
However, judging from the "horse-drawn carriage", it should have been produced in an era when there were hot weapons.
Besides, it’s not appropriate for a security guard to carry a knife, right?
It would be fine if you just took a baton.
"Who is it?" the other party asked, "Tell me your name!"
Although this person looks like a petite woman, she speaks with great authority.
"I, I'm a guest! Really!" Ye Xuan wanted to hand the invitation letter to the other party, but thinking that his made-up name might be exposed, he only showed the other party the anti-counterfeiting mark on the surface of the invitation letter without unfolding it.
Unexpectedly, after reading it, the man not only refused to let me go, but became even more aggressive: "How do you prove that you didn't steal it? Speak!"
Well, it’s stealing, I guess.
How can I say this? Should I tell the truth?
It's not like he hasn't thought about lying.
Judging from the other party's appearance, his poor lying skills probably couldn't be hidden from the other party's eyes.
Maybe even the ears can't be hidden.
He was found out as soon as he opened his mouth.
Ye Xuan found himself unable to explain.
The main thing is that the other party's suspicion is valid. It is no longer an assumption, but a fact.
The system forced him to do this!
He is just an accomplice, please give him a lenient sentence!
But the other party didn't care about that. He waved his hand and said, "Take him away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two more people appeared from the side, one in front and one behind, and carried him away.
Ye Xing had his limbs captured by the two men and his mind was frozen by the situation.
What is going on?
No, who is the suspicious person at the party?
Is he a guy with a knife who kidnaps people without saying anything, or is he just a missionary who climbed up a ventilation duct?
He no longer understood this party.
He didn't even care how those two men emerged from the shadows.
It was not until he was sent to a "small dark room" that he realized that the three people were actually helping him instead of harming him.
How could they be suspicious persons?
He is obviously a kind person who helps him complete tasks and promotes the development of the plot!
Ye Xing couldn't see the thief sitting face to face with him, but he was thinking about how to start a conversation with him.
Phantom thieves are usually a bit weird, right?
And weirdos often sympathize with each other, right?
He felt he had a direction.
But the thief in question didn't think so.
"Shut up, you're annoying." These were the only words the thief said to him.
And his tone was quite impatient.
"Oh." Ye Xuan was not the kind of person who would force others to have awkward conversations regardless of their wishes, so he turned off the microphone after hearing what the other party said.
This might be a quiet-loving or socially anxious thief.
I hope what he just said didn't have a counterproductive effect. It would be bad if the other party was unwilling to cooperate with him.
The real NPC fell silent for a moment, and remained silent like the other party.
Silence is the small dark room next to the banquet hall tonight.
Perhaps, places like this confinement room should be silent.
Chatting about anything and everything is disrespectful to such a room.
Ye Xing was lost in thought, trying his best not to disturb the Phantom Thief who was almost in a trance.
This person was apparently quite lively during the self-introduction session, so why wasn't he willing to even chat in private?
He barely managed to see the other person's outline in the darkness, and thought that might be the persona that the other person was trying to create.
I have worked so hard to build up a personal image, but I don't need to maintain it in front of him?
When he was locked up, one of the three men said that the Phantom Thief was also locked up.
His "thank you" left the three of them very confused.
So, the Phantom Thief knew that the person imprisoned inside was the Phantom Thief.
In other words, there is no possibility that the Phantom Thief feels that he cannot be seen and therefore there is no need to manage his character.
Why is that?
What he couldn't see clearly was not only the thief's figure, but also the other party's unpredictable heart.
By the way, the Phantom Thief is now locked up here, which means the other party didn’t succeed, right?
Why is he still “dividing the spoils” in this way?
"Have you seen enough?" A voice came from the darkness.
Ye Xuan was shocked.
In such a dark environment, how could the other party know that he was watching?
What a great power this is...
Before he could finish his thought, the other party continued, "You want jewelry?"
Ye Xuan recalled the details of the mission: "It would be fine if I could just wear the belt."
In fact, when it comes to "dividing the spoils", he only divided the "right to use".
Moreover, this "right to use" is an "experience card" that will end in just a few seconds.
"This belt is actually nothing great, not worthy of me." The thief suddenly spoke more, and his tone of voice was closer to what he said in the banquet hall.
Ye Xuan was a little confused. Could it be that the other party had a split personality?
"You wear it." The thief threw something over.
Ye Xing couldn't see clearly in the dark, and the thing fell directly into his arms.
"Hiss——" He was hit, but what hit him was not a hidden weapon, but jewelry.
Is this the belt?
He didn't know when the other party stole the belt, and why those so-called "security" didn't tell him to take the belt back before locking him in.
Aren't the jewels on the belt extremely precious? Your handling of them is really unusual!
But it's always good to accomplish the task.
He fastened his belt with great anticipation, waiting for the system to arrange the next option.
However, after waiting for a while, the task still remained at this item.
Something is not right.
"This belt of yours seems to be fake."
