Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Antonia didn't reply immediately; she simply took out her phone, opened the text message, and glanced at its contents.

Although Antonia's body covered most of the content, her assistant still saw part of it. The information showed a time – 2:30 a.m.

"No rush, wait a little longer," came Antonia's kind voice.

Although he didn't know the significance of this timing, Kenley didn't ask any further questions, simply nodding and saying nothing more.

Time passed second by second.

Many viewers have already left early because they were bored, but some are still full of anticipation and paying attention to everything around them.

Two more people attempted to take action during this process, but it was all in vain.

"It's 2:25..."

Antonia looked at the time on his phone, slowly stood up from his seat, and his assistant immediately stepped forward to help him, but he gently pushed him away.

His gaze swept over a tall woman wearing a mask standing not far away. The two exchanged a glance, and the woman nodded slightly to him before quickly looking away.

Antonia smiled and shook her head, her smile seemingly tinged with helplessness.

Time passed second by second.

The only good news is that nothing unusual happened during those few minutes.

ka ka ka-

What was that sound?

The sound, seemingly coming from nowhere, caught the attention of the pursuing team members who were surrounding the treasure chest. The team members quickly reacted and searched around for the source of the sound.

Another crisp sound rang out.

This immediately drew the attention of the entire pursuit team to one spot—the treasure chest in the center.

The onlookers on the sidelines clearly noticed the unusual behavior of the pursuit team and cast curious glances their way.

"What happened?"

"I don't know, are there rats? Why do they look like they're about to catch rats?"

"Has something happened? Could it be... that someone has made a move again?"

"That's very possible!"

……

All the members of the pursuit team focused their attention on the treasure chest in the center not far away.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the treasure chest, which was completely empty, suddenly moved without warning.

This startled everyone, but before they could react, a small yellow head popped out of the ground!

Its dark eyes looked around curiously, and only after confirming that there was no danger did it emerge from the ground!

……

Chapter 442 A Plan Targeting Chen Feng!

"Groundhog...?"

Everyone was stunned, even the members of the pursuit team responsible for guarding the area were left speechless by this comical scene.

They never expected that after being on guard and tense for so long, all they had to do was guard against a small yellow groundhog.

But their smiles soon faded.

After the groundhog crawled out of the ground next to the treasure chest, the "squeak squeak" sound did not stop, but became more and more frequent.

Immediately afterwards, a second and a third groundhog crawled out of the ground around the box, their yellowish-brown fur almost covering the ground around the treasure chest!

There were even a few groundhogs, using their two large, protruding front teeth to hang thin threads, and they began to wrap them around the treasure chest in circles.

Only now did the bewildered members of the pursuit team appear as if from a dream, and the leader hurriedly said:

"Quick! Catch these damned rats!"

"Uh...yes!"

"Come on!"

The group, who had been looking serious, quickly put away their tranquilizer guns, rolled up their sleeves, and prepared to step forward.

This unexpected turn of events amused everyone present, while the live stream chat for the pursuit team was flooded with comments:

"The Mass Rat Extermination Scene of the Chase Team" is now officially airing!

"Holy crap, this is hilarious! The contrast between this serious scene and this sudden change is just too much!"

"Hey, wait, don't you guys think something's wrong? Where did this huge swarm of groundhogs come from? And what a coincidence that they just popped up around the treasure chest?"

"What's wrong? It's just a coincidence, or maybe someone is guiding us? Besides Feng Shen, I've never seen anyone else who can... Wait, something's not right!"

"Holy crap! Could it be that Feng Shen has arrived?"

"Such a large group of groundhogs, it's like someone gave them orders! It really does seem like Feng Shen's doing!"

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Feng Shen can't really be here, can he?!"

……

The comments quickly veered off course, but by then no one had time to pay attention to it anymore.

The on-site pursuit team quickly split into two groups. One group continued to maintain on-site security, while the other group put down their guns, picked up nets, and surrounded the group from all directions, ready to catch these stupid rats that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere!

But just then, several more groundhogs appeared. Unlike the previous rats, these groundhogs were carrying several silver cylindrical objects in their mouths.

Before anyone could see what it was, several groundhogs opened their mouths wide and used their huge teeth to bite down on the cylindrical object.

"Stop them!"

The people behind shouted, but it was too late.

As several marmots opened their mouths and bit down, a large amount of white smoke quickly billowed out of the cylindrical can, enveloping the area around the site.

"Everyone put on infrared goggles! Load tranquilizer guns! Squad 1, advance to protect the treasure chest! Squads 2 and 3, stand ready!"

"Yes!"

"Roger that!"

Under clear orders, the members of the pursuit team immediately took action, with clear division of labor.

This sudden change left the onlookers stunned.

"This method... could it really be KID who made the move?" A cute girl dressed in a cat-eye cosplay outfit asked uncertainly.

"No way...right?" Her friend next to her was clearly also stunned. "I haven't heard of KID sending any announcement letter. How could it be him?"

"But this method is so similar to the methods KID used in his previous operations!"

"It can't be...a coincidence?"

The people around were talking amongst themselves, while a woman wearing a long-brimmed sun hat not far away smiled and muttered to herself:

"As expected of a world-renowned phantom thief, his methods are truly astonishing and incredibly artistic..."

From an angle unnoticed by anyone, the woman glanced at the ventilation duct on the ceiling, then quickly looked away. Her hand, clad in lace gloves, silently took a small remote control from her pocket and placed it in her palm, as if ready to press it at any moment.

"Squad 1 reporting! The treasure chest is missing!"

"what?!"

Upon receiving this answer, the person in charge at the scene was shocked. The powerful ventilation system had already largely dissipated the white smoke that had been released earlier, greatly improving visibility.

Through the wisps of white smoke, one could see that only a group of grayish-brown groundhogs remained where the treasure chest had been.

"Damn it!" the man cursed, quickly picking up the walkie-talkie: "Headquarters, headquarters, on-site report: treasure chest stolen, maze adjustment needed..."

Before he could finish speaking, a very slight muffled sound came from the ventilation vent above his head, accompanied by a soft "click" sound, like the sound of an iron gate falling.

What was that sound?

"It's just a small trick."

The woman's voice drew everyone's attention.

The woman slowly walked forward, took off her long-brimmed hat, and revealed her face hidden beneath.

"Who are you?" The middle-aged captain of the pursuit team, who was reporting the situation, was taken aback and looked at the newcomer with a face full of doubt.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Alicia, Alicia Borgia! Of course, you can also call me... Ophina!"

Ofina spoke with her face slightly raised.

“Borgia…”

The middle-aged captain frowned slightly, glancing in the direction of Mr. Antonia. If he remembered correctly, this old man's surname was also this... Wait! Ophina?!

The middle-aged captain seemed to notice something, his eyes widening instantly: "The phantom thief ranked second on the wanted list! Ophina!"

The chat in the live stream exploded:

"Ofina? The phantom thief who suddenly appeared a month ago? Is that her?"

"A phantom thief? She, a phantom thief, just walked out like that, openly? And on someone else's turf."

"No, can't you guys see that? This Ophina is clearly in cahoots with these guys from the pursuit team!"

"A group? Thieves and the pursuit team... Huh? Is that appropriate?"

……

"Quick! Go grab her..." The middle-aged captain also reacted and shouted quickly.

“Don’t be so nervous, children,” Antonia stepped forward and said with a smile, “She’s here to help us.”

"Help...us?"

The middle-aged captain paused for a moment, his eyes filled with confusion.

Neither Antonia nor Ofina offered any explanation.
