Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

"30? We're rich!" the burly man shouted, drawing envious glances from those around him.

"30...no ten thousand..."

"No 10,000?" The burly man was taken aback. "Then it's 10? 30?"

"Ah."

The woman nodded with a pained expression, as if she had just missed out on hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Ignore this side.

Their gaze returned to Chen Feng.

At this moment, Chen Feng and Shangguan Lin had arrived at the front of the crowd.

As countless fireworks exploded in the sky, half the sky was illuminated in color, and the two bunker doors in front of us slowly opened, revealing the true face of the place inside.

The corridor, two or three meters wide, is large enough for four people to walk side by side. The unpolished stone walls add a touch of wildness to the corridor, and the alarm devices on both sides are neat and conspicuous under the light.

That's for tourists. If someone catches someone on the list, they can press the button on the wall, and the official pursuit team will arrive at the scene within ten minutes.

Then came the second gate, and the third. In no time, all five enormous entrances were opened.

Sun Luo, as the captain of the pursuit team, personally led his team to the scene to maintain order.

"Everyone, you can enter now. Please do not crowd to avoid stampedes. The map has been handed to you. Have fun!"

Antonia's voice rang out, and the crowd, who had been eagerly waiting, could no longer contain themselves and rushed toward the entrance.

"Please don't crowd. The venue is large enough for everyone to enter and play freely. In 30 minutes, the music and neon light systems in the venue will be activated, and everyone can enjoy themselves."

Antonia's deep and gentle voice was still playing from the loudspeaker, but no one was paying attention to him anymore; almost everyone's attention was drawn to the interior of the maze.

Antonia was not annoyed by this scene. A look of satisfaction appeared in her cloudy eyes. She stepped down from the platform, and the earpiece hidden in her white hair lit up with a faint light.

"Is everything going smoothly?" a voice came through the headset.

“Under God’s protection, this is how it is for now.” Antonia’s kind smile remained. “I hope these children have fun, including you, my child.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end, followed by a faint "hmm" before the call ended.

Antonia seemed to be used to the other person's way of speaking. She chuckled, shook her head, took off her headset, and looked at the crowd that was filing in, lost in thought.

……

"Let's go too."

Seeing that the crowd had almost all entered, Chen Feng said something to Shangguan Lin beside him.

Shangguan Lin nodded slightly, took Chen Feng's arm with one hand, and walked inside with Chen Feng, looking just like an ordinary young couple, without attracting anyone's attention.

As Mr. Antonia had said before, this huge labyrinthine bunker was surprisingly large. Even if thousands of people poured into it at the same time, there was no sense of crowding, and it even felt somewhat empty.

The intersections are a maze of roads, making it difficult to see clearly.

Chen Feng casually looked around, strolling leisurely as if he were on vacation, while Shangguan Lin lagged slightly behind him, writing and drawing on the maze map she had seen earlier, occasionally frowning as if deep in thought.

"what happened?"

Chen Feng's voice rang out.

Shangguan Lin looked up and met his gaze, then turned her attention back to the map in her hand.

"There's a red dot marked on the map; that should be the location of the coral-shaped gem, the Crimson World Tree, in two days. According to the route given..."

Shangguan Lin's gaze swept over the surrounding forks in the road, finally settling on the route to the east: "We should go this way."

"Oh?"

Chen Feng smiled enigmatically and said, "Didn't Miss Lin suspect that this map was a fake map used by the authorities to mislead people? Why do you still believe its contents?"

Shangguan Lin paused slightly, turned to look at Chen Feng, and her sexy red lips curved into a beautiful smile:

"There are 24 hours in a day, you have to find some time to waste, right? And... what if it's true?"

After saying this, Shangguan Lin beckoned to Chen Feng, signaling him to follow, and then took the lead and walked towards the fork in the road on the right.

"Ah……"

Chen Feng chuckled softly, watching Shangguan Lin's retreating figure, and then followed after her.

……

Chapter 434 Location of the Treasure Chest

thump—

dong dong——

dong dong dong-

The sounds, sometimes crisp and sometimes dull, kept ringing out, and Shangguan Lin couldn't help but glance at Chen Feng, who was walking along and occasionally tapping on the wall.

"You seem quite interested in these walls, Kidd."

"Is there?"

Chen Feng smiled knowingly, turning his gaze away from the wall beside him: "I just discovered something interesting."

Inside the monitoring room at this moment.

The images from more than 500 cameras in the corridor were projected onto more than 60 computers.

The uniformed members of the pursuit team were constantly busy in front of the screen.

"Situation discovered in area C-28: the thief [Enger], number 96 on the wanted list, has been located. We have dispatched personnel to apprehend him."

"Situation discovered in area F-28: Thief [Salt], number 65 on the wanted list, has been found."

"A report has been received in area G-15 that a tourist has apprehended Qiu, the thief listed as number 209 on the wanted list..."

Inside the room, the sounds of keyboards being typed and team members reporting their findings rose and fell. Sun Luo, the team leader, had already led his team out to the monitored area where the anomaly had been detected to apprehend the individuals.

Many people don't even know how they were exposed before they were inexplicably arrested.

In a small room not far from the monitoring room, a mysterious figure was using special equipment to steal the surveillance footage from inside the room. However, compared to the naked eye observation of the pursuit team inside the room, her equipment was clearly more advanced.

The white striped boxes precisely pinpoint each person exposed to surveillance, and only after big data comparison or analysis are they displayed on the screen.

"What a lively scene..."

The shadowy figure's gaze swept across the faces on the screen, seemingly comparing them to a face in his mind, his expression serious and confident.

"I wonder if I'll be able to see you here, the world's number one thief—Phantom Thief Kid!"

……

the other side.

Chen Feng and Shangguan Lin have arrived at the location marked with a red dot, following the route on the map.

In fact, it wasn't just them; dozens of other people had also arrived at the scene and were gathered around the treasure chest with the gold stripe border.

The treasure chest was simply placed on a small stone platform. Exquisite patterns were carved on the front and back of the chest, with golden stripes and a few gemstones adorning it, making this classically styled treasure chest look quite valuable.

Of course, the crowd's attention was not drawn to the treasure chest itself, but rather to the inside of the chest, to the base with its grooves.

The base was placed in the very center of the treasure chest, and the shape of the groove on it was exactly the same as the outline of the [Crimson World Tree] picture published in the newspaper earlier!

"This must be the box used to store the jewels when the party officially begins in two days, right?"

Shangguan Lin whispered in Chen Feng's ear, "I really didn't expect that map to be real. Anyone with a normal IQ could find this place with this map. I'm quite curious, what makes the pursuit team so confident in doing this?"

Are you confident?

A smile played on Chen Feng's lips as his gaze swept across the diverse expressions on the faces of the crowd. Finally, he turned to meet Shangguan Lin's eyes, who was standing inches away from him.

"Madam, sometimes what you see with your own eyes may not be the truth, and sometimes your eyes can deceive you."

"A half-truth is often more likely to fool people than a complete lie."

"Ok?"

Shangguan Lin was slightly taken aback, and her gaze towards Chen Feng seemed to carry a hint of confusion.

But at that moment, the lights in the venue suddenly went out, and before anyone could react, colorful neon lights lit up all around, accompanied by soothing music, instantly changing the atmosphere of the entire venue.

This is an atmosphere system that is only activated during the gala. Today is just an opportunity to test it out, but so far it seems to be going very smoothly.

Colorful neon lights illuminated the spacious area, creating a dance floor. The music was melodious and the environment was comfortable. Many quick-witted people, along with their partners, danced to the rhythm in the large open space surrounding the treasure chest.

"Want to dance a song together?"

Chen Feng extended his hand in front of Shangguan Lin.

Shangguan Lin looked at Chen Feng's hand in front of her, then glanced at the crowd of people dancing together, her eyes seemingly filled with hesitation.

However, Chen Feng didn't give her much time to think. He gently took her hand, and seeing that she didn't resist, he led her to the center of the neon lights.

When Chen Feng's hand touched her soft, slender waist, he clearly felt her body stiffen slightly.

"Don't be nervous, ma'am."

Chen Feng's voice was gentle, like a teacher patiently guiding a student, and in just a few breaths he led Shangguan Lin into his rhythm.

Shangguan Lin gradually caught up with the rhythm, dancing with Chen Feng in the crowd to the beat.

The two were almost touching; she could even clearly feel the hot breath Chen Feng exhaled from his nostrils and the strong sound of his heartbeat.

thump -- thump -- thump --

No, that's not Chen Feng's heartbeat, that's her own!

Looking at the man so close to her, Shangguan Lin was momentarily stunned.

If she remembered correctly, Chen Feng was only 24 years old this year, two years younger than her, but this man, who was younger than her, had made people witness his magic time and time again.

It seemed nothing could make him lose his composure; he was calm, elegant, and captivating...

Shangguan Lin was startled by her own thought and quickly suppressed it, inwardly cursing herself:

Shangguan Lin, how could you be so shameless! He's Xiao Xi's boyfriend, which means he's your brother-in-law! How could you even have such thoughts!

Shaking her head, Shangguan Lin forcibly suppressed these chaotic thoughts, but perhaps because her mind was too cluttered, she skipped several beats in a row, and even almost stepped on Chen Feng's foot twice.

However, Chen Feng didn't say anything, but simply guided her into the rhythm.
