Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

"I see."

Vermouth smiled and nodded, but inwardly she didn't believe a word of Judy's explanation; instead, she became secretly wary.

“Ms. Judy,” Sonoko spoke again.

"Ok?"

"Since you're a regular here, you must know this place well, right? Why don't you recommend some fun game consoles to us?" Sonoko said with great interest.

"As for fun game consoles..."

Judy thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and said with a smile, "I know a very popular fighting game console right now. How about I take you guys to check it out?"

"Okay."

Sonoko immediately nodded and spoke, then turned to Chen Feng and the others: "What do you think, Ran, Aunt Yukiko, Mr. Arsen, and Miss Chris?"

"Of course! I've never played a fighting game console before."

Yukiko said directly.

Xiao Lan and Chen Feng, along with the others, nodded in agreement.

The group followed Judy toward the battle game console, making sure to subtly ask Vermouth a few questions along the way, but Vermouth, who was well-prepared, deflected them all.

This only increased Judy's suspicions and vigilance.

Before long, led by Judy, the group arrived at a game console.

"Here it is."

Judy pointed to the game console in front of her and said:

"This game console is very popular recently. It not only has special hand and foot levers, allowing people to control the character's fighting directly through hand and foot movements, but it is also equipped with professional motion sensing functions."

In other words, the feeling of the characters fighting, including the pain, will be very realistically reflected to the player. It's quite interesting; do you want to give it a try?

Judy handed the game console helmet to the group.

"Um, I'll give it a try then."

Xiaolan reached out and took the helmet. Under Judy's direction, she sat down on the chair in front of the game machine and placed her hands and feet in the designated area.

As Judy pressed a button, Xiaolan's arms and legs were instantly secured to them by several pop-out straps, and then the game was ready to begin.

Xiaolan chose a tall woman as her character, while her opponent was a burly man.

As soon as the game started, Xiaolan, unfamiliar with the rules, was punched several times by the burly man opposite her. Just as Judy had said, the pain of the game character was transmitted through the device, and the pain made Xiaolan frown and groan twice.

Upon seeing this, Vermouth frowned, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

"What? Are you worried that your Angel might get hurt?"

Chen Feng's gentle voice came from the side, immediately causing Vermouth to frown and lower her voice, but her tone was undisguisedly cold:

"You seem to know a lot, Mr. Phantom Thief."

Hearing Vermouth's undisguised threat, Chen Feng simply smiled faintly and said nothing more.

Vermouth also quickly looked away, no longer paying attention.

at the same time.

In a mysterious manor.

A man with graying hair and beard, but still looking quite robust, was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.

His name is James Black. He is an FBI investigator sent to Japan and also the FBI's operations commander in Japan.

Next to James Black sat a young man dressed in all black, wearing a black knit hat.

Seeing that James Black was reading the newspaper and not saying anything, Shuichi Akai couldn't hold back any longer:

"James, how's the thing I asked you to investigate for me going?"

Upon hearing Shuichi Akai's words, James put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "I have no clue."

How could that be?

Shuichi Akai was somewhat surprised. Given the FBI's extensive network in Japan, investigating something shouldn't be too difficult, right?

"The Hirota Masami you asked me to investigate, she seems to have vanished into thin air since that bank robbery two months ago. The last place she was seen on surveillance footage was an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs, but..."

James paused, then continued, "The surveillance footage only showed her going in; it didn't show her coming out. Furthermore, several spent bullet casings were found at the scene, so..."

James didn't continue, but even without saying it, Shuichi Akai understood what he meant.

Most likely, they were shot by members of the organization, who then evaded surveillance and took the bodies away from the warehouse to destroy them.

Shuichi Akai was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I understand. I'll be going now. I'll contact you later."

"it is good."

……

Let's turn our attention back to the arcade.

After taking a few punches at the beginning, Xiaolan quickly mastered the operation skills of the game machine. With her black belt in karate, she easily turned the tide and defeated her opponent by knockout.

However, before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, the game interface she had just exited immediately popped back up and went straight to the character selection stage.

"Ms. Judy, what does this mean?"

Xiaolan looked puzzled.

Judy's brow furrowed slightly: "Someone is challenging you, and you can't refuse."

"challenge?"

Xiao Lan was taken aback, and then the others quickly turned their attention to the person sitting behind Xiao Lan on another fighting game machine.

Seemingly aware that several people were watching him, the man turned around and gave Xiaolan a provocative smile before quickly turning back, ready to fight.

"How rude..."

Sonoko made a comment.

At this moment, the uncle who was responsible for repairing the machine spoke up:

"That guy's name is Kengo Obō. He calls himself 'Caesar the Great' of Beika. He's just a small-time thug, but he's pretty good at it. Little girl, you'd better be careful."

"Kengo Obō..."

Xiao Lan repeated the name, her expression becoming much more serious.

"I'm going out for a bit," Chen Feng said to Yukiko beside him.

"Okay, sure." Yukiko nodded and let Chen Feng leave without asking any further questions.

Seeing Chen Feng leave, Conan, who had been watching him closely, frowned. After thinking for a second, he quickly followed behind Chen Feng.

A short while later, Chen Feng stopped at the end of an empty corridor, took out his phone from his pocket, and seemed to send a message.

"Phantom Thief Kid!"

Conan's voice rang out from behind Chen Feng: "What are you up to now?!"

……

Chen Feng turned around, looked at Conan behind him who was on guard, and laughed, "We've known each other for quite a while now, why are you so nervous?"

"Humph!"

Conan snorted coldly and did not reply.

"Don't worry, I don't have any plans to take any further action recently, so there's no need to be nervous."

Chen Feng walked to the sink, washing his hands as he spoke, and then walked to the hairdryer to dry his hands.

"Alright, I should go back now."

Chen Feng smiled at Conan, then ignored him and left the restroom, heading back the way he came.

Although Conan was puzzled, he didn't find anything strange. After thinking for a while, he followed them.

When the two returned to the scene, Ran and Kengo's match had already ended, but judging from their appearance, Ran must have lost badly.

Kengo Obō, the victor, walked arrogantly to the group and unceremoniously sat down in the spot where Ran had been sitting.

"This seat is still more suitable. Ah, indeed, this seat is more comfortable..."

As he spoke, Kengo Todo turned back and gave Ran a provocative look: "A newbie like you should remember this, this is my reserved seat, don't sit in the wrong one next time!"

"You bastard!"

Seeing Kengo Oto's arrogant and infuriating demeanor, before Ran could say anything, Sonoko couldn't resist stepping forward to argue with him.

However, before she could go forward, Xiaolan stopped her.

"Sonoko, forget it, let's just play a different game."

Yukiko, looking displeased, glanced in Kengo Oto's direction. Seeing Chen Feng return, she whispered:

"Do you even know how to play fighting games? Why don't you go teach this arrogant guy a lesson?"

"I……"

Before Chen Feng could speak, the man sitting next to him playing a game console spoke first:

"It's no use. He always adjusts his game console before playing to ensure smoother operation, and he's also skilled at using the buttons on the joystick. So even if you have the best fighting skills, you can't beat him if you haven't played before."

"I see..."

Xiao Lan nodded.

Just then, Chen Feng looked around but didn't see Vermouth. He then asked Yukiko, "Where is Miss Chris?"

"Oh, she had something to do, so she left first," Yukiko replied.

Meanwhile, Judy, who had remained silent, shifted her eyes slightly, as if deep in thought.

The man continued, "That guy has become increasingly arrogant lately, which is really bothering us. I'm afraid only Mr. Shimizu, who is known as Cup Louis, can defeat him."

"Mr. Shimizu? Who is that?" Sonoko asked curiously.
