old fire thieves

Chapter 43 No.40 Act Three

Seeing Ai Lian finish the phone call with a totally different attitude than usual, Bai Ge couldn't help sighing.

Women are indeed born actors.

Although it is close to eleven o'clock, Bai Ge, who returned from the city planning exhibition hall after stealing, still stays in the room of love.

There is no five-dollar plot that makes people blush and heartbeat, Bai Ge just gives the stolen things to Ai Lian, and eats the dinner made by Lao Huo by the way.

However, Ai Lian's face seemed a little ugly after hearing the crime recounted by Bai Ge.

"...As expected of you, you can easily do things that other phantom thieves can't do."

She commented on Bai Ge's actions like this, and at the same time told him to wait a little longer and not rush home.

This wait lasted for more than three hours. During this period, Ai Lian and Bai Ge "exercised" again. In the end, Bai Ge, who didn't even have anything to play in mobile games, couldn't help but start doing homework.

Then Ai Lian also started to do homework.

Two people just share a table like this, sitting side by side to do homework, what's the matter with the illusion of childhood sweetheart?

However, most of the time, only Baige was moving.

Whenever he finished his homework for a subject, Ai Lian would naturally take Bai Ge's homework book, and after a random glance, pointed out several mistakes in Bai Ge.

Damn alchemy puppet, writing this kind of memory topic is completely cheating!

It wasn't until Ai Lian helped Bai Ge "check" the homework of the two subjects that the alchemy puppet finally picked up the phone and made a call.

"Speaking of which, what a strange name is 'Strange Thief JOKER', it sounds so ugly."

Ai Lian put down her mobile phone for communication, and complained about the aesthetics of Baige.

"Well, uh, didn't you leave a clown card on a whim, and look, in the movie, don't clowns and monster thieves go well together?"

Bai Ge, who was doing his math homework, looked up and defended, even though he thought about it afterwards, he also felt that this title was a bit secondary.

Ah, the adjective Zhonger comes from before the Great Crash. It is said that it is used to describe teenagers who are in a delusional period. Baige doesn't know the story behind it, but in the cities in the east of Zhuxia, such old-age words seem very familiar. Popularity.

However, just because it wants to attract attention, such a noisy title is unexpectedly good.

"So, Ai Lian, you asked me to steal that stone. There are actually two meanings?"

Bai Ge put down his pen and said while thinking.

"The first is to let me exercise my ability as a [Phantom Thief]. The second is to attract the attention of the police. At the same time as attracting the attention of the police, illegal organizations will naturally notice me as a phantom thief."

Ai Lian specifically mentioned that it was only notified internally, but instead it was to promote the name of Kaitou Joker.

Just imagine, if the police are only notified internally, the possibility of the wanted criminal being a bait thrown by the government is greatly reduced.

If you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people.

As for how the illegal organizations obtained the information, Bai Ge believed that they could stay in Jingjiang for so many years, even if there were no insiders, they must have special means of information collection.

Well, of course, it's almost impossible for illegal organizations to believe that Baige can be relied on for such a crime.

"There is a third meaning."

Ai Lian glanced at Bai Ge's unfinished math homework, and continued.

"Don't you feel it yourself?"

"Feel? What does it feel?"

Bai Ge didn't know what kind of feeling Ailian was talking about, he didn't feel anything anyway.

"Don't you feel that you are better at using abilities, and have a deeper understanding of [Phantom Thief] and Arsen Luoping?"

Ai Lian raised her eyebrows.

"There seems to be no response... Should there be any feeling?"

Bai Ge asked involuntarily.

"Strange... probably because the things you stole are really worthless?"

Ai Lian muttered to herself thoughtfully, and the pen on her finger turned around unconsciously.

Gently put down the pen, she continued to speak quite seriously.

"You also know that the way for ascenders to further master their extraordinary abilities is to increase the degree of fame. As for how to improve, most of the ascenders have concluded that the fate of the historical fragments is highly coincident, including but not limited to imitating historical figures. action, fulfill their long-cherished wish or simply re-enact their life story."

"Therefore, if someone inherits the fate of an overlord, he will try to achieve greatness; if someone inherits the name of a poet, he will create poems. If he inherits the history of a criminal, crime is naturally the best way to get his name."

"Using your example, Yasen Luoping is a thief, so when you carry out the strange thief behavior, you can theoretically increase the degree of reputation. Of course, it may be more or less, but it can always be improved. of."

"I asked you to steal things for this reason, but..."

She glanced at Baige again, with a certain tone of hatred for iron and steel.

"Why don't you feel anything at all?"

"...Maybe I did it halfway, and I have changed from stealing to stealing?"

Bai Ge didn't have much emotion, he felt that the abilities of [Man with Thousand Faces] and [Stealing] were enough for the current actions, and he didn't expect any extravagant extraordinary abilities.

He is such an easy-to-satisfy guy!

"It doesn't matter, you can't steal it once, but you can steal it a few more times. If you steal something worthless this time, next time you can steal something valuable and make a big news, it will always work!"

Ai Lian said as if breaking a pot.

"Hey, hey, if you want me to squat in a cell, just say so."

Bai Ge subconsciously complained.

"It's okay, I've already helped you find the target for the next crime, just wait until you're ready."

Ai Lian ignored Bai Ge's protest.

"Next time, so soon?"

Bai Ge still wanted to rest for a week or two. Although tonight's action was finally successful, the twists and turns in the middle still made Bai Ge feel tired.

Crime is so troublesome and dangerous, it would be nice for everyone to work honestly and make money with peace of mind.

"No hurry, I have to investigate for a while."

After all, she got up and went to the living room to pick up the stalactite on the coffee table, and took a closer look at it.

"Speaking of which, is this stone really just a simple imitation, rather than some strange secret treasure hidden?"

Bai Ge asked curiously.

Since taking this stone back, Ai Lian has basically never paid attention to it, and just put it on the coffee table in the living room, it seems that it is really just an ordinary stone.

But just like so many things Ai Lian did with Bai Ge before, it's impossible for this woman to really just want Bai Ge to steal a stone back to decorate the flowerpot, right?

Maybe this stalactite is actually a relic of the abyss itself?

While making up a drama with ups and downs in his brain, he watched Ai Lian look at the milky white stone, and then put it firmly into the green pot next to the bed.

Against the background of the green plants, the stalactites are like rockery, and the false starry sky shows a bit of interest.

It's still pretty.

"?"

and many more.

"Could it be that this stolen thing is really just for display?"

"Yeah, I just felt that there was something missing in the pot. I saw the introduction on the Internet and thought it was quite suitable, so I let you touch it. It looks pretty, right?"

Love answered as it should.

"..."

Bai Ge was speechless.

When you thought Ai Lian didn't think too much, she had actually thought of the third layer.

When you thought she was thinking about it, it turned out that the love was really just a whim.

Bai Ge couldn't figure out what this woman was thinking.

"Okay, you should go back and rest early, you have to come to Lao Tao's class at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

Ai Lian waved her hand and wanted to drive Bai Ge away.

"Oh."

Needless to say, Bai Ge wanted to go home and lie down after a tiring day.

When he walked out of the love room, he saw Lao Huo poking his head out of his room.

"Aren't you staying here tonight?"

Don't say it as if I often stay overnight, no, I haven't stayed overnight at all!

Bai Ge shook his head in denial.

"Then give this to you."

Lao Huo handed a small box to Bai Ge's hand.

"what is this?"

Bai Ge didn't know whether to open the box directly.

"The commemoration of your first mission, open it and have a look."

Lao Huo smiled mysteriously.

Lifting the lid gently, Bai Ge saw a monocle lying in the dark box.

It is exactly the same as Arsen Lupin's monocle.
