Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Ophina took a few steps forward, her gaze fixed on the air vent above her head. She toyed with a small remote control between her slender fingers, her smile bright and confident. Her red lips parted slightly as she said:

"I spent two months packaging myself as a phantom thief and increased my notoriety through two consecutive incidents, putting myself at number two on the wanted list, all for this moment."

"I'm sorry for deceiving you, Phantom Thief... Mr. Kid!"

……

Chapter 443 Chen Feng Arrested?

"Kidd? What Kidd? Feng Shen is here too?"

"Judging from this, it seems that this Ophina knows Feng Shen and even made some kind of deal with him as a phantom thief, only to betray him at the crucial moment of the operation?"

"Um... Dude, your reasoning skills are amazing."

"It's just so-so."

dong dong——

Two more muffled sounds came from the vents overhead.

Ofina's smile remained unchanged: "There's no need to struggle anymore. The material blocking the ventilation opening is HRB400 rebar. Even if you use a cutting machine, no one can destroy it in a short time in this narrow passage."

At this point, Ophina turned to the middle-aged captain and said:

"Open the ventilation vents, and put on your gas masks and infrared goggles."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged captain turned his gaze to Antonia, who was in charge. After receiving the old man's nod, he immediately arranged for people to surround the ventilation opening and set up a ladder to climb up.

"Captain! There are people inside!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged captain perked up and decisively ordered, "Use the tranquilizer gun to anesthetize the people inside before opening the mechanism!"

"understand!"

The team member above agreed, took out the tranquilizer gun from his lower back, and fired a shot inside.

In the dark environment of the ventilation duct, the wriggling "figure" stopped moving and struggling after only a few seconds.

Just to be on the safe side, Ofina waited a few more seconds before opening the mechanism.

Soon, with the team members pulling hard, a figure was pulled out from the ventilation opening.

The man was unconscious under the influence of the tranquilizer gun, but his white suit was particularly eye-catching.

In the man's arms was an exquisite, classically styled treasure chest, the very one that had just been stolen, containing the [Crimson World Tree] gem!

Seeing that everything was going so smoothly, the members of the pursuit team couldn't help but show the joy of victory.

Only Ophina slowly suppressed her smile, vaguely sensing that something was amiss, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it...

The chat in the live stream room remained unchanged:

"Impossible? Kidd really got caught? I can't quite believe it."

"What Zhang Wuji's mother said makes a lot of sense: the prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive people! She's absolutely right!"

"Heh... Surely no one really thinks Feng Shen was just arrested like that? I bet a million! This is definitely just another one of Feng Shen's little tricks!"

"Damn! Great minds think alike, buddy! I'll add another bag of spicy strips!"

"I'll add one too!"

"You've placed your bet!"

……

A teammate crouched down, looking at the unconscious "Kidd" with a face full of curiosity:

"Is this... Kidd? Or is it Chen Feng?"

The team member reached out and grabbed the man's shoulder, trying to turn his face over. Seeing this, the others also rushed forward nervously.

A group of about twenty people formed a circle, surrounding "Kidd" in the middle.

Swah——

When "Kidd's" face was turned over, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The man had his eyes closed, his features were delicate and his face was sharp; who else could it be but Chen Feng?

Meanwhile, Sun Luo and others in the control room were also watching the footage transmitted back from the surveillance cameras.

"I never expected that Chen Feng, who is renowned and has a bounty of over ten million US dollars, would fall into our hands so easily."

Inside the control room, the captain of the guard crossed his arms and a smile played on his lips.

Captain Zhou, standing to the side, echoed:

"Yes, who would have thought that the authorities would spend two whole months creating a phantom thief named Ophina, and then set up a scheme under the guise of cooperation, making it impossible to guard against."

"Heh...it seems we won't need this huge piece of equipment, which saves us some trouble."

"That's true..."

The two chatted back and forth, while Sun Luo, the captain of the Western Europe Third District, simply stared at the monitor screen without saying a word.

He might not be the person who understands Chen Feng the best, but things have gone a little too smoothly today, so smoothly that... it seems unreal!

Meanwhile, Ophina's gaze never left "Chen Feng," but she didn't notice anything wrong.

Just as she was relieved and preparing to leave temporarily, a voice drew her in again.

"Huh? What's this?"

Ofina looked more closely and saw the team member crouching on the ground groping around "Chen Feng's" body, holding a small gadget strapped to "Chen Feng's" arm that looked like... a pulley...

and many more!

Ophina jolted violently, as if she had realized something was wrong!

While almost everyone's eyes were on "Chen Feng", Ofina suddenly turned her head to look at the spot where the treasure chest had been placed.

The marmots that used to live there had all disappeared sometime ago, leaving a large open space in a mess with uneven ground. Only one member of the pursuit team was standing there.

Seemingly noticing Ophina's gaze, the member of the pursuit team turned around, smiled at her, and then slowly squatted down, gently brushing away the dust on the ground to reveal the red gem buried under a layer of dust—the [Crimson World Tree]!

"Kidd!!!"

Ophina immediately shouted.

Although I don't know how he fooled my heart rate tracker, the person in front of me is clearly the real Kid!

As for the unconscious guy, he was probably just a fake wearing a human skin mask!

At that moment, Ophina suddenly realized what was going on.

All the previous claims about groundhogs, thin strings, and even using thin strings to instantly drag treasure chests away were fake!

The groundhogs' real purpose is to destroy the base of the treasure chest, causing the gems to fall out from the bottom! The stolen treasure chest is merely a distraction to draw their attention!

"Kidd? What Kidd?"

"Isn't Kidd right here? Where is Kidd now?"

"what happens?"

Ophina's voice instantly attracted the attention of the pursuit team members. However, they were still in the midst of the joy of "catching Kidd" and had not yet realized what was going on. They stood up with blank expressions.

Until they saw the red object in the hand of a member of the pursuit team not far away.

That looks like... the [Crimson World Tree] gem?!

"Catch Kidd!"

Someone shouted something.

As if in a dream, everyone hurriedly got up from beside the fake Kid, and some even stumbled several times in their panic, tumbling and crawling towards the "real Kid".

This comical scene amused the onlookers.

The live stream chat was also filled with comments:

"Holy crap, these guys are such a spectacle!"

"I told you, how could Feng Shen be caught so easily? Now you're behaving yourself."

"I knew it! My husband is invincible!"

"Get out of here! That's my husband!"

"Hehe, keep fantasizing. Kid has already washed up and is waiting for me."

"Uh... 6."

……

Chapter 444 The Imposter Makes His Final Appearance

"I've got Kidd!"

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! You idiot! You're pulling my hair!"

"Ouch! Who's pulling my ear? Let go!"

"Damn it! You bunch of idiots, stop messing around and hold Kidd down first!"

A chaotic scene unfolded not far away, but Ophina simply stood there watching, feeling that... something was still off...

"Madam, is this the venue for a circus acrobatic performance?"

A gentle voice came from Ophina's ear, and Ophina's beautiful eyes widened instantly, but before she could make a sound, she felt a strange sensation spread throughout her body.

The next second, his body quickly lost strength, and he leaned helplessly against the old man "Antonia" behind him.

“Kid…”

Looking at the familiar yet aged face beside her, Ophina whispered weakly.

However, Antonia didn't say anything. She just smiled slightly, helped Ophina up, picked up the treasure chest from the "fake Kidd" on the ground, opened a corner slightly, glanced at the red gem lying quietly inside, and then closed the treasure chest again and put it into her bosom.

"No, I really am just a deliveryman! Someone gave me a 1 euro tip to pick up that thing at this time, and if someone looks at me, I'm told to smile at them."

"Heh, do you even believe that yourself? Let's talk about it at the station."
