Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

After observing for several days, he also figured out the inspection method used by Sun Luo and other members of the pursuit team: they would check all the personnel inside every half hour, which was also when their defenses were weakest.

Looking at Sun Luo and the others who were undergoing testing, the man narrowed his eyes, and a confident smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

He raised his wrist, his gaze falling on the watch face, watching the constantly ticking second hand, his heartbeat seemingly synchronized with it.

10...9...8...

The man silently counted down in his mind.

Four...three...two...one!

As he counted down to "one" in his mind, the second hand on the watch face aligned with the minute hand, and the hour hand reached the 5 o'clock position.

At the same time, a pleasant bell rang throughout the exhibition hall, and the polite voices of the staff came over the loudspeaker.

"Dear visitors, the afternoon exhibition at this museum has come to an end. The evening exhibition will begin next. Please leave in an orderly manner..."

"Dear visitors, afternoon exhibitions at this museum have now closed..."

"Ah...it's time already?"

"Damn it! Feng Shen's event is in the evening! It's so hard to get a reservation, I couldn't get one, so frustrating!"

"Hey, let's go, let's go outside and try our luck. If we're lucky, we should be able to see Feng Shen."

……

As soon as the announcement came on, the tourists below became noisy, with complaints and sighs overlapping, almost drowning out most other sounds.

The man seemed to have anticipated this scene. Staring at the blooming ocean rose directly below, his breathing became rapid.

To prevent overcrowding due to excessive visitors, the museum has divided its opening hours into three sessions: morning, afternoon, and evening.

Five o'clock is the end of the afternoon session, which happens to coincide with the time when the pursuit team conducts tests every half hour. It is the most chaotic time on site, but also the best time to take action!

Everything went as he expected. The man could no longer hide his smile. All that was left was to create a bit more chaos at the scene so that his operation could officially begin!

But there was one more thing he needed to do before that!

The man carefully took out a transparent tube that he had prepared beforehand from his side bag, and slowly aimed it through the vent at the glass display case below. The other end of the tube was connected to a small transparent bottle.

tick-

A drop of liquid dripped through a thin tube onto the glass display case, but it went unnoticed in the noisy environment.

Then came the second drop...

Meanwhile, on the other side, at the location of the pursuit team.

The blood sample testing is nearing completion. Apart from a few members of the pursuit team waiting for their shift change in front of the monitor, almost all other members of the pursuit team have been tested.

The number of people who haven't been checked is now very small, including one person...

All eyes turned to Shangguan Xi, who sat calmly in her chair.

Sun Luo walked forward slowly and said, "Miss Wendy, it's your turn for the test!"

boom--

……

Chapter 485 The Rattlesnake Takes the First Move

boom--

The sudden sound immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, and white smoke quickly spread from all around.

The large number of tourists who hadn't had time to leave were startled by the sudden explosion. Of course, many curious people had already guessed what was going to happen and immediately became excited.

Cheers and screams mingled together, making the already noisy scene even more chaotic.

The live stream chat was also filled with comments:

"Holy crap! It's starting! It's starting! After waiting for so long, is it finally going to begin?"

"I was so sleepy I was about to fall asleep, but seeing this scene instantly woke me up! Is Feng Shen finally going to make his move?"

"Um... speaking of which, the explanation in the notice released by the pursuit team said that Feng Shen's operation would take place at sunset? It's only a little past five in the afternoon and it's autumn, so there are still several tens of minutes until sunset, right?"

"Huh? It seems so. Whatever, maybe those idiots in the pursuit team misinterpreted it."

"Hey guys upstairs, stop arguing. I have a theory, don't you think it's possible... this isn't Feng Shen's doing at all?!"

……

In any case, this sudden situation has thrown the already not-so-quiet scene into complete chaos.

Shangguan Xi, who was already preparing for emergency evacuation, breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

However, she didn't believe it was a coincidence. Although she knew there was another phantom thief at the scene ready to act at any moment, why did he act now, and why did the internal detection of the pursuit team start its operation just as it reached her?

If she had been a step later, her identity would have been detected by the machine. Could it be such a coincidence?

Shangguan Xi looked in Chen Feng's direction, but unfortunately, the previous series of explosions had already filled the scene with a large amount of white mist, and everything beyond 20 centimeters was a white blur, making it impossible to see anything.

hum~

Shangguan Xi suddenly felt a slight vibration from his phone. Without much hesitation, he quickly took it out and looked at it.

The message was sent by Chen Feng, and it was very simple, containing only one sentence: Proceed as planned.

Upon seeing these words, Shangguan Xi understood immediately. She put away her phone, glanced around to determine her location, and then plunged into a direction where the white fog was thick.

at the same time.

The man still hiding in the ventilation duct, who was also another phantom thief on the scene, "Rattlesnake," was also stunned, his face filled with shock and confusion as he glanced at the switch in his hand that he hadn't had time to press yet.

This doesn't seem like... he didn't do it, right?

"Quickly! Protect the exhibits!"

The extremely penetrating sound came from below at this moment, giving him very little time to think.

Hearing the chaotic footsteps around him, Rattlesnake acted swiftly, and with just a little force, removed the fan blades from the ventilation duct that had already been tampered with.

Then, grabbing the ventilation duct opening with both hands, he quickly flipped down, leaping into the air based on his memory of the location of the glass display case for the "Blooming Ocean Rose".

thump—

The sole of the shoe made a dull thud as it touched the top of the glass display case. Without giving it much thought, after quickly confirming that the position was correct, "Rattlesnake" swiftly lifted its foot and stomped on the glass display case with its hard-soled leather shoe.

Kara-la-la—

The special liquid he had dripped through a thin tube while the surroundings were in disarray came into play at this moment, making the normally hard tempered glass appear incredibly fragile.

The moment it came into contact with the sole of the "Rattlesnake" shoe, it shattered as easily as a thin layer of ice.

"There are people inside!" Fu Lingling's voice rang out from not far away, followed by even more chaotic footsteps converging in their direction.

Without the slightest hesitation, "Rattlesnake" quickly crouched down and reached into the glass display case below.

A smooth, cool, and moist sensation came from my hands, but that was all.

The rattlesnake ran its hand along the smooth inner wall of the display case, its eyes widening in shock.

It's empty! There's nothing inside except water!

A thought popped into his head, but the rapidly approaching footsteps left him no time to think about it.

Knowing full well that the operation had failed, he showed no sign of stopping. He quickly jumped off the glass display case and ran towards the crowd, taking advantage of the lingering white mist.

He chose this time to act not only because the pursuit team's defenses were weak at this time, but also because the large influx of tourists made it easy for him to hide.

"Turn on the exhaust system!" Sun Luo's voice came through the white mist.

With a buzzing sound, the exhaust system in the hall was turned on at full power, and the mechanical vibrations reached the ears of everyone present.

The white fog quickly dissipated, at least allowing everyone to see their surroundings clearly.

Sun Luo and a few others, including Chen Feng, remained in their previous positions without moving, while most of the pursuit team and museum security personnel were scattered around.

Fu Lingling and seven or eight members of the pursuit team surrounded the broken glass display case. Also located next to the glass display case was "Wendy," an eighth-level pursuit expert disguised as Shangguan Xi.

Looking at the broken glass display case and the empty interior filled with water, Fu Lingling and the others looked grim, and at the same time, the live stream chat exploded with comments.

"Holy crap! That Rattlesnake thief really succeeded? How did he do that?"

"He managed to steal it in such a short time? His skill... seems to be almost as good as Feng Shen's, right?"

"Heh heh, I don't believe Feng Shen will let that guy take the [Blooming Ocean Rose] away. Maybe Feng Shen is right here looking for that guy!"

"Young man upstairs, don't jump to conclusions! We need to know the specifics of the situation, what exactly happened at the scene, and what happened there!"

"Damn! What a smart guy! The person upstairs is obviously the boss!"

"Indeed, being able to spout such utterly worthless yet perfectly serious nonsense is a skill in itself!"

……

At the scene, Fu Lingling looked at the now empty glass display case and couldn't help but grind her teeth.

They were so focused on guarding against Chen Feng that they allowed another thief to slip through their fingers!

wrong!

Fu Lingling's gaze suddenly shifted to Shangguan Xi, who was closest to the glass display case, her eyes filled with an almost tangible suspicion.

However, Shangguan Xi remained unfazed, calmly turning to face Fu Lingling and saying, "Captain Fu, why are you looking at me like that? Do you suspect that I stole the [Blooming Ocean Rose] from the display case?"

……

Chapter 486 The Missing Gem!

"Why is Captain Fu looking at me like that? Does he suspect that I stole the 'Blooming Ocean Rose' from the display case?"

Fu Lingling didn't answer, but the distrustful expression on her face spoke volumes.

Sun Luo's voice rang out over the loudspeaker at that moment:

"I apologize, everyone. Due to an emergency, please do not leave for the time being. Security checks have been set up at the entrance. Everyone will be allowed to pass only after passing through the security checkpoint."

As soon as the words were spoken, the tourists who hadn't yet left erupted in an uproar, some dissatisfied, others excited.

The pursuing team members stepped forward and lined the crowd, which had been gathered in one group, into two orderly long lines.
