Chapter 51 The Thief
July 12, 7 a.m., 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 he sneezed, and if the cicadas hadn't been 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. He 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 "Ghost Zhong" started causing 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 find that Gu Zhuoan was not in the room either.

"This father and son are up way too early... Aren't 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.

He occupied the soft sofa and turned on the TV with the remote control. The news anchor was reporting a breaking news:
"At 7:15 this morning, the Third Bank of Lijing was violently robbed by a criminal with supernatural powers. Several guards were killed or wounded in the battle. Currently, the A-level walkers 'Blue Arc' and 'Silver Swallow' are hunting down the supernatural criminals 'Flying Ant' and 'Da Zhong Hou' involved in the incident in the city. They are notorious international thieves, and museums in countries such as Japan and France have previously been targeted by them..."

Ji Minghuan stood up from the sofa and raised his eyebrows. "Lijing Third Bank, isn't it near my home? It's still not too late to rush over and get involved."

At the same time, in another corner of Lijing City.

Screams echoed 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 towards the top of the building. Its huge limbs crushed piece of glass curtain wall after piece, and the fragments fell towards the city like a rainstorm.

It carried a huge bag, from which banknotes kept flying. The strong wind rustled the gorilla's fur, making it look particularly ferocious, like a character drawn in exaggerated, thick lines in a cartoon.

"Confirmed to be a Dragon-level esper - 'Da Zhong Hou'." The criminal's information appeared in Lan Hu's lens.

The next moment, a blue arc, like a flash of lightning, crested the building's surface. All onlookers saw only a single, deep blue arc of lightning, streaking toward the sky, dimming even the setting morning light for a moment.

No matter how fast the giant gorilla climbed, it was still not as fast as lightning. In just one second, the blue arc stopped not far above it. He stood steadily 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 giant is obviously not a wise choice.

So he leaned down slightly and placed his right hand on the glass curtain wall. Deep blue arcs of electricity emanated from his five fingers, forming a snake net in an instant, spreading madly along the wall.

The gorilla's limbs were completely covered by the electric net, and its body was convulsing and unable to move. It fell to the ground with a roar.

With a ripping sound, the bundle of countless banknotes tore apart in the air, like a rain of gold. Passersby in the city below, fearing the impact of the massive object, were also tempted to rush through the police net to catch the falling bills.

Finally, the gorilla smashed into the ground, creating a huge crater. Its body gradually shrank, transforming into a skinny, ragged young man. He lay on his side in the crater, unconscious and unable to speak a word.

Lan Hu used the helmet's built-in communicator to say, "Da Zhong Hou has been captured. Tun Yin, how's the situation over there?"

"Da Zhonghou" and "Fei Yi" are famous international thieves.

One of them 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 one has the ability to shrink his body to the size of a thumb and grow wings, looking 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 in their pursuits, recently got married. They held a global wedding, traveling to countries around the world: Japan, France, the United States, the United Kingdom...

They once robbed the BNP Paribas Bank in Paris, and then climbed the Eiffel Tower. The flying ants in wedding dresses rained down money on the entire city, as if mocking this extravagant and decadent 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 used a searchlight with a "flying ants and gorilla" pattern painted on it to illuminate the sky, as if to tell the whole city that they had succeeded.

This action angered the whole of Japan, but they left Tokyo the next day and no one knew where they went.

Not only Japan, but also the top leaders of major countries in the world are extremely angry about 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, the thief couple 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 mutant "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 alien "Swallow Silver"'s irritable voice 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 act wildly. 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 am coming over now."

After saying that, his figure transformed 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.
