Chapter 2245 The Thief's Awakening
Lin Sanjiu stepped into the Black Stone Collection again to become a thief.
The round paper lanterns floating in the night sky, and the light strips hovering above the shops like swimming dragons, are still as steady and bright as before not long ago, illuminating the entire Heishiji as bright as day; The desertedness and helplessness left behind after the dispersal are clearly visible.
…If there was ever a better time to be a thief, it is now.
From time to time, Lin Sanjiu could still see the stall owners who hadn't had time to leave just now. They either collected a large bag of things on the table, or they were empty-handed, and they were dismantling the stalls; she had only walked for a while, and several people shouted at her - "Girl! Did you just come here, or did you come back again?" "I heard that that person is not a puppeteer, is it true?"
At this time, there is no need to scare people, not to mention letting the news that "the puppeteer is not here" spread, maybe it will be safer for him.
"I'm not a puppeteer." Lin Sanjiu's mask had been exposed, and there was no point in wearing it anymore, so she had to try her best to walk in the shadow of the shop roof; I didn't come to the Black Stone Collection, I don't know who did the prank..."
"Anyone else do this kind of thing?"
When she walked onto Avenue D, a familiar face poked out from behind the booth table, apparently overheard the conversation not far away just now. The stall owner's forehead was still glistening with sweat, and he hadn't had time to put away the embarrassment he had suffered not long ago; in front of him was a bag of cloth that had just been opened, and the reflection of a few pieces of porcelain was exposed in the bag.
Obviously, he managed to put away a huge pile of tiles. Before he could leave, he heard that the puppeteer was not here, and he was about to put the tiles back out again. He raised his eyes and saw Lin Sanjiu, and immediately greeted him: "Yo, it's you?"
"Well," Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to approach the central square at the moment. From where he was, he didn't know if the projection of Occidentus had disappeared. He could only shrug his shoulders and walk forward without daring to speak loudly: " Yes, I'll come back and take a look, take a look."
"Where are you going?" Seeing the regular customers, the stall owner became more enthusiastic about the conversation, "Whoever made a prank, isn't he afraid that the puppeteer will trouble him afterwards?"
Lin Sanjiu came back to be a thief this time, how could he steal while chatting? She looked around and saw that the other stall owners were far and near, and they stopped paying attention to her. Only this one selling porcelain tiles was staring at her, so she simply went up to the side of the shop and said: "Today I found the tiles you bought late, and they seem to work just fine, don't they?"
The stall owner seemed to have been slapped unexpectedly, his face flushed. "Ah? What are you talking about? My tiles? My tiles don't work well?"
"Well, it's better to try it out." Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and lower his voice and said, "Are you sure you didn't sell me the bad quality tiles?"
"You are scolding me, all my tiles are of the same quality, very good!" The stall owner was a little excited, and glanced at her suspiciously, and said, "I don't accept returns and exchanges... "
"I don't want to return it, I just want you to see it, what's going on?" Lin Sanjiu said, and quickly put a handful of porcelain tiles that I just bought tonight on the booth.
When the stall owner grabbed the tiles and began to look carefully at the light bit by bit, she stepped back between the two stalls in one step; her eyes swept around quickly, and finally landed on a On the small shrine.
The small shrine, which would be shattered immediately by any external impact, and the power of Karma inside would flow out, even when everyone fled in a hurry, still sat safely in the gap between the shops until now—it Unexpectedly, the self that everyone avoids has become the target of others tonight.
If you want to restore the invisible and colorless power of Karma that covers the entire world, then Ji Shanqing can't do it either. But if only a small portion...
When Lin Sanjiu's fingers lightly touched its surface, she felt that the small shrine trembled suddenly like a jelly; it felt as if she just touched it a little, and it was about to break—but the little shrine trembled in a jerk. After that, together with the power of Karma in the belly, it became a card.
At the same time as the card was held in his hand, the voice of the stall owner also sounded: "Huh? Where did you go?"
"I'll just take a look," Lin Sanjiu stepped out of the gap, and the card disappeared in his hand. "How about the tiles?"
"I don't see any problem. What's your reaction after eating it?" The stall owner is quite craftsmanlike, and he doesn't seem to give up until he understands it.
Lin Sanjiu got a small shrine, but it wasn't enough.
Ji Shanqing made it very clear to her—he couldn't attack the power of Karma that covered the entire world, but there were already small portions in the Black Stone Collection, which were just right for them to use.
However, using the power of Karma to establish contact with Yu Yuan and catch the body steward in the crowd is essentially an experiment; even if the first attempt is successful, and everyone splits up to find someone, they each need a copy of Karma Therefore, at least seven or eight small shrines are enough.
"After eating, there seems to be no reaction." Lin Sanjiu regretted the troublesome excuses he made, but he couldn't get rid of the tiger, so he could only continue the lie: "You study it first, I'll go shopping first..."
There are many small shrines containing the power of Karma on every road in the Black Stone Collection. As long as no one sees it, she doesn't worry about not having enough targets to steal.
"Huh? No response? The effect of the item has not been upgraded?"
Seeing that the stall owner sat back down with a sad face, and looked carefully at the tiles with the light on, Lin Sanjiu quickly seized the opportunity and walked out to the depths of the D avenue—the puppeteer scared away so many people, But it provided her with a great opportunity; there were only a few cats and two dogs left, and no one paid attention to her. She easily put all the small shrines on the side of D avenue into the card library.
When she finished stealing and walked back to the porcelain stall, she found that the stall owner had a serious expression on his face.
"No matter how I look at it, I can't see anything wrong,"
Before Lin Sanjiu could open his mouth, the stall owner spoke first, as if he felt that the situation was serious. "Are you sure you're eating the way I taught you?"
Saying it's okay now seems too blunt...
Every minute Lin Sanjiu stayed in the Black Stone Collection made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles, for fear that when she turned her head one time, she would find a body steward of Occidentus standing behind her.
She only wished that the sooner she could go out, the better. Hearing this, she gave a "hmm" and tentatively said, "Why don't I forget it today, I'll take it back and try again..."
The stall owner sat down again, shook his head again and again and said, "This is nothing. I have sold so many porcelain tiles, and no one has ever complained to me. So, what do you want to use the tiles for?" Items? You eat one here, and I will watch you eat it, so that you will not use the tile wrongly. If there is any problem, I can see it immediately and solve it for you on the spot. "
Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth, looked at the piece of porcelain that the stall owner had stuffed into her hand, and said in a low voice, "Now I have something to do..."
Now is not the time to leisurely eat the tiles, the gift bag is still waiting for her to go back.
"Don't be afraid, eat it in one bite, and it won't delay you for ten seconds." The stall owner said. Seemingly seeing that Lin Sanjiu wanted to leave, he added: "I've been here for almost 14 months, if you don't eat now, next time you come to Heishiji, you may not see me."
Forget it, instead of pushing and making way to attract attention, it's better to just eat it in one bite and get out early.
…Wrap the inside of the mouth with consciousness, so you won’t be able to eat your teeth and bleed, right?
Just as Lin Sanjiu was about to bite the tiles, the stall owner immediately reminded: "Only take the items you want to refine, and don't take anything else with you except for props."
She was stunned, and reflexively, she pressed her hand on her neck—before she could say "but I can't take off my collar", when her fingers touched the warm skin of her neck, it immediately turned into a cloud of smoke .
…yes, her collar was broken by Orcius.
Because the pressure of escaping has become more and more serious, Lin Sanjiu has almost forgotten that she has lost her collar; a small part of her in the depths of her consciousness seems to be still worried about eating the porcelain. , can only temper [Pygmalion Collar].
Without the collar...that is, she can choose any item.
Lin Sanjiu held the tile in her mouth, lowered her head, looked at the [Ability Polishing Agent] in her hand, and was stunned for a moment.
Recently, I have always entered the state of "I don't know whether the writing is good or not", which is quite annoying... There is generally a feeling of whether the writing is good or not, and this kind of inconsistency is the most uncomfortable.
