Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

"Yes! You lot, come with me!"

"Everyone, don't panic, this is a normal check! Stay where you are and don't move!"

The sudden noise from outside made the rattlesnake's smug expression freeze abruptly.

The pursuit team is here!

How is that possible? I clearly avoided the surveillance cameras!

Of course, he didn't notice that a hidden gadget was silently aimed at him from the vent, recording his every move.

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Are you stunned? Are you dumbfounded? This guy's reaction is hilarious."

"Well... why does this situation feel so familiar? It doesn't feel like the methods of the pursuit team, but more like Feng Shen's methods."

"Hey? You know what? You really do know! I also think this looks like something Feng Shen did."

"Feeling +1"

……

Returning our attention to the ventilation shaft, and seeing the footsteps drawing ever closer, "Rattlesnake," the person in charge, had no time to ponder these questions. Taking advantage of the fact that some tourists were still outside, he quickly threw two smoke grenades out through the ventilation shaft.

Smoke grenades exploded at the visitor center, enveloping the area in white smoke.

"Smoke bomb!"

"On-site report! Target person located! Target person located!"

"Each group, guard the entrances and exits! Do not let anyone leave. Receive confirmation!"

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

The scene descended into chaos once more. Taking advantage of this moment, the rattlesnake suddenly burst out of the ventilation duct and plunged into the crowd.

at the same time.

Inside the museum exhibition hall.

Fu Lingling was still broadcasting the location based on the red dot displayed on the screen.

"Captain Guo! Southwest corner! That person is moving from the southwest corner towards the east window! Intercept them! Intercept them!"

……

Chapter 488 Internal Strife?

"Captain Guo! Southwest corner! That person is moving from the southwest corner towards the east window! Intercept them! Intercept them!"

Fu Lingling's voice came through the walkie-talkie to Guo Yu and the others.

Without hesitation, Guo Yu immediately ordered everyone to gather at the east window, but it was too late.

Before everyone could even grope their way through the white smoke, they heard a crisp sound of breaking glass, followed by the dull thud of someone stepping over the windowsill and landing on the ground.

"Quick! He climbed out of the window! Chase after him!" Guo Yu shouted the order again.

A group of pursuit team members immediately swarmed over.

The rattlesnake, who had just climbed over the window, hadn't even had a chance to catch its breath when it heard footsteps approaching from all around it again.

After muttering "a persistent nuisance" under his breath, he got up again and fled in another direction.

Inside the museum's exhibition hall.

Fu Lingling was still remotely reporting the other party's location based on the map, while a sense of doubt welled up in her mind.

This device couldn't have been installed in a short time; it was clearly installed in advance by someone.

Is it Captain Sun? That's obviously impossible. He spends most of his time with the pursuit team and simply doesn't have the time for this. So the answer is obvious—the new fifth captain, Fifth Qing!

Fu Lingling glanced in Chen Feng's direction with some confusion.

If her memory wasn't confused, Sun Luo didn't really trust this fifth captain. In fact, she had tested him more than once, and the most recent test was just half an hour ago. Under such circumstances, why would she arrange for him to do such an important thing?

Moreover, judging from their current demeanor, there seems to be no sign of distrust between them; they appear to be like two old friends who have known each other for a long time.

Fu Lingling couldn't figure it out, but seeing the "red dot" on the screen map escape the "green dot" again, she had no choice but to suppress her doubts for the time being and continue to remotely direct everyone to surround the "rattlesnake".

"Damn it! Are these guys using a God's-eye view? How are they so hard to shake off?!"

At the top of elevator number 3, Rattlesnake, having once again shaken off the pursuing team and successfully hidden himself, cursed under his breath. Listening to the still lingering footsteps around him, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly, fearing that he would be discovered by the pursuing team.

In the past half hour, he changed locations seven or eight times.

He tried hiding in concealed cubicles, blending into the crowd, and even considered knocking out a member of the pursuit team, changing his clothes to infiltrate their ranks, and then finding a chance to escape.

Unfortunately, without exception, all of these attempts were discovered in a very short time, triggering a new round of pursuit.

Every time he managed to shake off the pursuit team, they would come chasing him again before he could even sit down properly, making him question his existence and wonder if he had been fitted with a tracking device. However, after searching, he found nothing.

That's because he's incredibly agile; anyone else would have been arrested countless times already.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Rattlesnake took a deep breath, knowing he couldn't stay there any longer. He stood up, preparing to climb up the elevator cable and find another chance to escape.

But just then, a creaking sound suddenly came from above, and then the originally dark elevator shaft became bright.

Rattlesnake looked up in surprise, but was met with a gunshot. Two enhanced tranquilizer darts, specially equipped by the pursuit team, hit him precisely. Before he could even struggle, he felt a strong wave of dizziness wash over him.

His eyes widened in disbelief, his mind filled with intense confusion about how the pursuit team could always pinpoint his location, until he fainted.

"Report: Target hit accurately. Target is incapacitated. Report complete!"

The member of the pursuit team who had just fired reported into the walkie-talkie, and as soon as he finished speaking, Fu Lingling's reply came through the earpiece:

"Immediately capture the target and retrieve the gem [Blooming Ocean Rose] from their person. Be careful to protect the gem!"

"Roger that!"

The viewers in the live stream were thoroughly enjoying the capture, which was being watched from a god-like perspective.

"This guy is really unlucky. He was quite good in terms of skill, preparation, and caution, but he was chased all the way with a god's-eye view. He probably won't even understand where he went wrong in the end."

"Serves him right! Who told him to be so presumptuous as to challenge Feng Shen? Wasn't this outcome expected?"

"Um...speaking of which, so much time has passed, the sun must be setting by now, right? Where's Feng Shen?"

"I also want to ask, where is my husband? I've been waiting for so long, and he still hasn't shown up."

"You don't need to wait anymore. I'm in a bad mood today, so I'm not letting him go. He's in his pajamas on the bed waiting for me right now. I'm going now."

"Assessment complete. The person upstairs has gone mad. Anyone whose urine is yellow, go and poke her awake. Anyone with diabetes, stay away. Don't let her get away with this!"

……

at the same time.

Inside the museum's exhibition hall.

Upon receiving the message that the target had been successfully captured, Fu Lingling breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and smiled.

"How is it?" came Shangguan Xi's voice from the side.

Fu Lingling turned her head and saw that Shangguan Xi, dressed as "Wendy," had somehow appeared beside her.

Fu Lingling tilted her head slightly, a hint of smugness in her voice, and said, "We've caught the person and got the stuff. We'll be able to bring it back soon..."

At this point, Fu Lingling's voice suddenly paused, her gaze falling on the sun outside the window, which was already halfway down, her pupils slightly contracting.

"It's dusk! The time for that thief Kidd's advance notice..."

"We're almost there, aren't we?"

Shangguan Xi's voice came again, with a friendly smile on her face, but this smile seemed a little strange to Fu Lingling at this moment.

"you……"

"Operations team report! All the elevators have stopped working for some reason! We're trying to get up the stairs!"

"Don't come up yet! Stay where you are and protect the gem!"

Fu Lingling's mind immediately went into overdrive, and she shouted into the walkie-talkie.

"What's going on? What happened?"

"I don't know, has this female captain gone mad too?"

"I don't know, I'm just watching the show quietly..."

The viewers who had just switched to the live stream were immediately greeted by this tense scene. Fu Lingling looked at "Wendy" with a wary expression, leading several members of the pursuit team to close in on her step by step.

It looked like they were fighting amongst themselves.

……

Chapter 489 Unexpected Situation and Magic Show

Seeing that Fu Lingling had already led the few remaining people in the museum hall to surround her, Shangguan Xi did not panic.

He simply smiled and retreated step by step.

Shangguan Xi retreated step by step, and soon arrived at the edge of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The evening breeze blew in through the slightly open window, brushing against people's faces and feeling warm, but no one had time to appreciate this beauty at that moment.

Shangguan Xi stopped in front of the French windows, opened her arms, and looked innocent:

"There's no need for this, Captain Fu. There are so many people left here, why do you have to suspect me? This is just settling a personal score!"

"Settling personal scores?"

Fu Lingling completely ignored Shangguan Xi's words, simply asking again into the walkie-talkie whether the gemstone was safe. After receiving an affirmative answer, she then looked at Shangguan Xi with a mocking expression:

"If I remember correctly, you seem to be the only one here who didn't go through the machine's identity check due to the previous emergency, right? Now that there's still time, Miss Wendy, please have the check completed. That shouldn't be considered settling a personal score, right?"

Fu Lingling pressed on relentlessly, giving Shangguan Xi no chance to refuse. Then, a member of the pursuit team walked up step by step, carrying the machine that had been used to verify everyone's identities.

Just then, the walkie-talkie hanging on Fu Lingling's collar suddenly crackled to life:

"Action team report! Action team report! There's a problem with the gem! It...it's melted!"

"What?!!!"
