Chapter 139 Route Continues to Escape——
After being thrown into the convertible, Ye Xuan's heart was no longer disturbed.
It’s just a game anyway, isn’t it?
No matter how ridiculous the game is, it is acceptable.
And when reality is truly magical, it's even stranger than this.
Thinking of this, he found his current situation easier to accept.
After all, the seat is soft enough that it doesn't hurt at all even if you are thrown on it, and it can even bounce back a bit.
But the Phantom Thief doesn't think so.
An unknown horse brought two living people into the car. No matter how you look at it, this must be a kidnapping case, right?
"Stop the car!" the thief shouted.
Seeing that the horse was indifferent, he shouted again: "Stop!"
Although Ye Xuan didn't know why the other party wanted to stop the car, he still decided to help the thief.
The jewels should still be in the other person's possession. Whether the loot can be divided successfully or not depends on the thief's intention.
If calling "stop" doesn't work, then...
Thinking about the coexistence of reality and absurdity in this game, he roughly knew how to do it.
Even though it might be a little embarrassing, I had to resort to this trick.
I hope it works!
"Whoa—" He gave the "command" to stop in a loud voice.
To deal with a horse, you naturally have to use this kind of command!
Watching the "carriage" gradually slow down and stop, he felt proud of his judgment and reaction.
See? This is someone who can use the game skillfully!
As a player, it may be difficult for you to do what the employees do.
However, being able to endure this game is already amazing!
When he was so proud that he became complacent, the thief looked at him with a questioning look.
But in his eyes at this moment, the look was full of admiration!
Humph, I am now an experienced real-life NPC. I am totally not on the same level as when I was a rookie!
Of course, I am worthy of admiration as such, hahaha!
Now, even the Phantom Thief thinks that the guy sitting next to him is a weirdo.
I just stopped the car because of a strange cry. What's there to be so proud of?
As a talented and outstanding young thief, it was a humiliation for me to be forced to sit in a car driven by a horse.
This guy doesn't care about this at all, what a freak.
The driver didn't care what the two "passengers" thought, he just parked the car honestly at a available parking spot on the roadside.
There were no other vehicles passing on this road, otherwise they would definitely take a look at this strange combination.
Although the hood was taken off, Ye Xing was still wearing a mask and a one-piece doll costume.
The thief sitting next to him was wearing a complete doll costume.
This actually doesn’t look that bad, what’s wrong with a cute doll costume?
The mistake is that the person sitting in the driver's seat is a realistic-style horse.
"Why are we taking a car?" The thief asked this question as soon as the car stopped.
"Run away." This was exactly what He Yexuan was thinking at the time.
The Phantom Thief pointed at the endless road under the wheels and said, "It's a straight road. If we run, they won't chase us, right?"
I am a phantom thief, could this man and horse be better at choosing an escape route than I am?
You know, every time he stole treasures in public, there were plenty of people chasing him.
Sometimes, the police force is almost diverted to themselves, allowing thieves from other places to take advantage of the opportunity to succeed.
Tsk, these thieves who take advantage of others' misfortune really bring shame to their industry.
I took on all the firepower, but it was others who got the upper hand.
"That makes sense," Ye Xing looked at the road, but there was not even a fork in the road that could confuse the "enemy", "Then how do we escape?"
Escaping is not actually the most important thing. The most urgent task is to pass the system's judgment first. I don't know what will happen next.
But if he could gain the thief's trust by choosing to "escape", he would be one step closer to "sharing the spoils after cooperation".
You should think two steps ahead before making a decision. It is not enough to just look at the road ahead.
The Phantom Thief saw that this road might not be a good choice for escape, and it was also because he saw the road behind it.
It doesn’t mean there will be no more road after you have walked this section of the road. You still have to find ways to keep going!
"Let's take a small path - never mind, it should be fine if there is no path." He looked at the surrounding environment and made a quick judgment. He didn't know when the pursuers would catch up. "There is no path in the world, so I will make one today!"
"Whee, whine—" the horse driver started yelling again.
"What is it saying?" The thief didn't understand what the horse said.
In fact, the Phantom Thief was unwilling to believe that the strange man sitting next to him could communicate with horses.
But seeing as how the man and the horse seem to know each other, they can probably understand what the cry is trying to convey, right?
"It said, it is a horse, and cars can only drive on the 'road'..." After Ye Xing finished translating, he was also shocked, "What?! How can this be! Modern asphalt roads are not built for horses to drive on!"
And a normal horse shouldn’t be able to drive!
Even if you say "don't run except on the road", it's more reasonable than this!
Seeing that this man was really angry, Ma was quite helpless.
"Whirl, whir--" it called a few more times.
Ye Xuan has nothing to say.
After all, it is true.
"What's wrong?" To the Phantom Thief who couldn't understand horse language, this was nothing but a riddle. "What did you guys communicate about? Hey, why is there no sound?"
Can this car be driven?
If you delay any longer, you won’t have to worry about which path to take!
If you ask why, of course it’s because he’s been caught!
Now the jewelry is still in my pocket, I don’t believe they won’t want to get it back!
The thief was very excited, but no one cared.
Helpless, I could only sulk by myself.
Ye Xuan pondered over Ma's words and felt that they made some sense.
I knocked it out and snatched its invitation letter. It was really wrong. There is nothing I can say about it.
However, no one expected that the horse was invited to the banquet because they wanted to hold a horse meat banquet.
This was something he could never think of. Who would think in that direction for no reason?
That's how the horse finally realized that he had accidentally saved its life.
Thus, he unexpectedly became the other party's savior who needed to be repaid.
It’s not bad. It’s interconnected. Although the system is not working, the plot is still going on well.
Those who have never played the game may not know that different choices often lead to different endings.
Perhaps one player chose to do something out of kindness and not knock the horse driver unconscious, but instead made the horse a delicacy.
Moreover, players who later find an opportunity to sneak into the banquet will, as the plot progresses, eat the food for no apparent reason.
This is a choice. Everyone makes their own choice and must bear the consequences of it.
Not every choice in the game can lead to a good ending.
Some people, when playing games, choose to replay games that they have already completed over and over again.
Do they like the game?
Not entirely.
Some endings will make players regret.
I regret the decision I made without thinking. If I had chosen a different option here, I might have achieved a different outcome, right?
This may be the charm of games with multiple endings.
It may also be a threshold that some people dare not try.
Many people will feel "guilt" even when facing NPCs in the game that are completely controlled by programs.
Although respecting NPCs cannot be called a "virtue", it is also a respect for the sense of immersion in the game.
This game is realistic enough that even if the experience is fake, the mood is real.
The tears are real, the laughter is real.
Then why is it "fake"?
Over-immersion is indeed a dangerous state, but as long as it is moderate, it will be a better gaming experience.
Real NPCs are professions that exist to improve the authenticity of the game.
"Alas, if this goes on, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape." Ye Xuan deliberately said discouraging words.
"What should we do then?!" The Phantom Thief was extremely anxious.
"Just abandon the car and run away." Ye Xuan turned over and successfully and handsomely climbed out of the convertible.
This kind of car is great. It is convenient to get on and off the car to escape. It is really the first choice for escape.
By the way, when buying a car, who would consider the convenience of escape?
What kind of business is this person in? Is he living a life of blood and knife?
After seeing the other party jump out of the car decisively, the thief could no longer sit still.
A car that can't move forward is worse than your own pair of legs!
"Just run wherever you want!" Ye Xuan said excitedly, "Charge!"
He can’t run fast in real life, so can he not run fast in the game?
Long before getting off the car, he had already taken out the paper horse he had used before from the warehouse. Shouldn't he use this prop?
Hey, with a paper horse, you can run!
Maybe it can run faster than a horse-drawn carriage!
Looking at the person who ran far away, the thief felt a little uneasy.
Can I really catch up with this speed?
Never mind, just run first!
I am a Phantom Thief, how could an ordinary person be better at escaping than me?
It doesn't exist! Go!
With Ye Xuan taking the lead, the thief's running speed also exceeded normal.
Under the internal competition, they soon ran at the speed of supercars.
That is to say, in the game, if it were put into reality, he would definitely be pulled into a competition or researched.
This speed is truly worthy of being called the speed for escaping.
The two people who were fleeing finally found a relatively secluded place and hid there.
"I don't know how they are chasing us. What if they have a location or something, then we're done for, right?" Ye Xuan used his imagination.
"Don't be such a phantom thief!" The Phantom Thief was so tired that he was out of breath, but he still said, "In such a short time, I guess it won't be enough to install a positioning device for us."
It's not like no one has ever used a tracker on themselves.
But which one succeeded?
Aren’t I a phantom thief who comes and goes without a trace?
Those technological means are just to deceive laymen, how can they be so magical?
Ye Xuan also wants to say that in the game, everything is possible.
