Chapter 51 The Thief
July 12, 7 o'clock in the morning, Lijing, China.
The first ray of morning light came in through the curtains and sprinkled on Ji Minghuan's face. He slowly woke up, turned over, rolled off the bed and fell on the tatami.
Not long after, a hand suddenly reached out to the bed, took out the remote control from under the quilt, and turned off the air conditioner with a "beep".
He had turned the temperature down too low last night, and the air was so cold that he sneezed. If it weren't for the summer cicadas chirping in the trees, he might have thought it was winter.
After washing his face and brushing his teeth in the bathroom, Ji Minghuan walked around the house, but couldn't find Gu Qiye so early in the morning. It was estimated that the big star alien Lan Hu in Lijing City had received another emergency mission notification.
Ji Minghuan tilted his head, curious about why his brother was so busy. Was it because that evil creature named "Gui Zhong" started making trouble again? So he went up to the third floor and knocked on the door.
Seeing that there was no response from his father's room, he pressed the restraints against the door frame and penetrated the wooden door with his senses, only to see that Gu Zhuoan was not in the room either.
"This father and son got up too early...Are they already fighting outside at this hour?"
Ji Minghuan muttered softly, went down the stairs and came to the living room on the first floor.
I occupied the soft sofa and turned on the TV with the remote control. At this moment, the anchor of the news station was reporting a breaking news:
"At 7:15 this morning, the Third Bank of Lijing was violently robbed by supernatural criminals. Several guards were killed or injured in the battle. Currently, the A-level supernaturals 'Blue Arc' and 'Silver Swallow' are hunting down the supernatural criminals 'Flying Ant' and 'Da Zhonghou' involved in the incident in the city. They are notorious international thieves. Museums in Japan, France and other countries have suffered from them before..."
Ji Minghuan stood up from the sofa and raised his eyebrows: "Lijing Third Bank, isn't it near my home? It's not too late to rush over and get involved now."
At the same time, in another corner of Lijing City.
Screams rang out in the square, and the police formed a circle with police cars to isolate passers-by.
Lan Qi stopped at the bottom of a tall building and looked up. In the sunlight, a giant gorilla six meters tall was climbing to the top of the building. Its huge limbs crushed piece after piece of glass curtain wall, and the fragments fell towards the city like a rainstorm.
It was carrying a huge bag with banknotes constantly flying out of it. The strong wind made the gorilla's fur rustle, making it look particularly ferocious, like a character drawn in a cartoon with exaggerated thick lines.
"Confirmed to be a dragon-level psychic - 'Da Zhong Hou'." The criminal's information appeared in Lan Qu's lens.
The next moment, a blue arc appeared like a flash of lightning and reached the surface of the building. All the onlookers saw only a dark blue electric light trail that swept straight toward the sky, and even the morning light seemed to dim for a moment.
No matter how fast the giant gorilla climbed, it was still not as fast as the lightning. In just one second, the blue arc stopped not far above it. He stood firmly on the surface of the building like a ninja in the movie, and the electric arc swept through the air with a sharp sound.
A head-on collision with such a huge beast is obviously not a wise choice.
So he leaned down slightly and placed his right hand on the glass curtain wall. Deep blue electric arcs spread out from his five fingers, forming a snake web in an instant, spreading wildly along the wall.
The gorilla's limbs were completely covered by the electric net, and its body was unable to move as if in spasm. It fell to the ground with a roar.
With a sound of tearing cloth, the bundle of countless banknotes tore apart in the air, as if it was raining money. Passersby in the city below were afraid of being hit by the huge object, but they couldn't help but want to rush into the police's protective net to catch the large banknotes scattered all over the sky.
Finally, the gorilla hit the ground, forming a huge pit. Its body gradually shrank and turned back into a ragged, skinny young man.
He lay on his side in the pit, unconscious and unable to utter a word.
Lan Qi used the helmet's built-in communicator to say, "Da Zhonghou has been captured, Tun Yin, how is the situation over there?"
"Da Zhonghou" and "Flying Ant" are famous international thieves.
One of these two people has the ability to transform into a giant gorilla, which he relies on to break through the bank's defenses and smash down the vault door; the other person's ability is to shrink his body to the size of a thumb and grow wings, making him look like a flying ant. She is usually responsible for scouting the defense situation inside banks, auctions, and museums, and then directing the actions of Da Zhonghou.
This pair of international thieves who never fail got married recently. They held a global wedding and traveled to countries around the world: Japan, France, the United States, the United Kingdom...
They once stole from the BNP Bank in Paris, and then climbed the Eiffel Tower. The flying ants in wedding dresses sprinkled a rain of banknotes on the entire city, as if to mock this extravagant city.
Later they came to Japan and after stealing from the Tokyo National Museum, the two climbed to the top of the Tokyo Tower and illuminated the sky with a searchlight with a "flying ants and gorilla" pattern painted on it, as if to tell the whole city that they had succeeded.
This move angered the whole of Japan, but they left Tokyo the next day and no one knew where they went.
Not only Japan, but the top leaders of major countries in the world are extremely angry at this thief couple. Some people even proposed to send Hongyi to capture them, but for Hongyi, this seems to be a waste of talent.
Recently, this couple of thieves came to China again, and were even unscrupulous enough to post their travel videos on the Internet, which attracted the attention of the authorities.
Unfortunately, on their first operation, they ran into Li Jing’s leader, the alien “Blue Arc”. If it had been a day later, Gu Qiye might have been “traveling” in Japan.
Thus, one of the two international thieves, the dragon-level supernatural person "Da Zhonghou" who had been arrogant for several years fell into the law so easily.
"Tunyin, did you receive it?" Blue Arc continued to ask.
Soon, the angry voice of the alien "Tunyin" came from the headset built into the helmet: "That damn fly flew too fast and was so small. I couldn't find her at all!"
"Forget it if you can't find it... Flying Ant's ability is suitable for escape." Blue Arc said calmly.
"She has come to our territory to cause trouble. We can't just let her run away like that... Wait, who is that person..." Tunyin suddenly paused.
"Who did you meet?" Blue Arc frowned.
"Black pupa." said Tunyin.
Hearing this name, Lan Hu's heart skipped a beat and he immediately changed his words:
"I'll be right there."
After saying that, his figure turned into a beam of lightning and rushed towards the other corner of the city. The strong wind he stirred up carried thousands of arcs of electricity and blew through the streets and tall buildings.
