Throne of Radiance

The door of the collection room was open, and the crimson carpet continued to extend towards the door. Several figures appeared there, blocking the light of the corridor and blocking everyone's escape route.

The robbers who were only a few steps away from the door were the first to react and cast their gazes away. The puzzlement that had just appeared on their faces suddenly turned into consternation, and Xie Biao frowned directly.

"Haozi, Baijia, what are you..."

"Brother Xie, didn't you call us here?"

On the contrary, the other party was even more surprised, and just opened his mouth.

The two people who appeared at the door were their accomplices.

A simple young man with a dark complexion and a temperament that looks like he came out of the mountains to work, but if anyone believes his appearance, he may have to wait for every drop of bone marrow to be drained; The exotic style of the Chinese people, a pair of peach blossom eyes and a natural smile, are invincible in conquering women and some men with special orientations, and are a good hand in obtaining information.

The owner of this villa, Mr. Ye Lao's family information, the rich collection at home, and even the security situation in the villa, all kinds of information were obtained by these two people.

Especially the latter, directly hooked up with a security guard, chatted with him online for a week, and found out what he should know and what he shouldn't know.That unlucky ghost probably never imagined that the first time he met the "Goddess" in reality was his own death.

Sneaked in and dealt with the security guards, leaving only the grandparent and grandson in the villa.Xie Biao and the others didn't pay attention to a mere couple who had never practiced martial arts, so they left the two of them with average strength but quick minds outside to prevent accidents.

This was their cautious approach, but unexpectedly, there was an accident, even though the accident happened inside the villa——

The four of Xue Hao and An Xiaoxi made an appointment to meet today on the extraordinary forum, and there were four more people in the collection room.Among them, the brothers and sisters of the Ji family have not low martial arts cultivation.

What was even more unexpected was that An Xiaoxi could actually drive a destructive strange thing.A face-to-face meeting caused two accomplices to be injured.

What was originally expected to be done in a quarter of an hour turned into a stalemate between the two sides. At this time, the two who stayed outside suddenly became second-handers, which made Xie Biao quite satisfied with his foresight .

The hostages in the hands of the two parties were not equal. If they were pushed into a hurry, they would abandon their two accomplices and go out, but how could An Xiaoxi disregard her grandfather's life?As long as you bring that old man here, are you afraid that her granddaughter will not give in?

However, the problem now is...

"—Where is the person I want you to bring over?"

Xie Biao looked at the stranger who appeared between the two of them in great confusion - no matter how blind he was, he could tell that this guy was no more than 27 at most, how could he look like an old man?

The two people who were asked were stunned: "Isn't this the guest you want us to invite, Brother Xie?"

They looked at each other, and then at the young man beside them.

The opponent has a deep silhouette of mixed blood, thin and tall, giving people the illusion of being blown away by the wind.Silky black long hair hangs down, but it won't make people misunderstand his gender.

He drooped his brows and eyes, his face was pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, like the characters who came out of the oil paintings of the last century they snatched, his eyes were dark and heavy, with a faint silver flash, revealing gloomy, world-weary, and indifferent temperament.

The two seemed to confirm that they had brought the wrong person, and then turned their eyes to Xie Biao, and suddenly clapped their hands: "I almost forgot, Brother Xie, you haven't seen Mr. Joey yet, have you? This is Mr. Joey."

In the ghost-like eyes of other people, they followed each other into the collection room naturally, completely ignoring the scene of swords being tense in the collection room at this time, and politely and respectfully invited the long-haired young man with a gloomy temperament to come forward and replace him. He introduced: "Mr. Joey, this is our Brother Xie."

The long-haired youth nodded slightly, and he only said one sentence——

"I'm here to get my painting."

Xie Biao: "???"

He stared at the stranger dumbfounded, and then at the two subordinates. He wanted to reprimand them for their sudden tricks, but he saw that the expressions on their faces did not seem to be fake at all.

"Brother Xie, Mr. Joey has come as agreed, should we return the painting to him?"

"What, what..." What are you talking about!What Mr. Joey... what agreement...

Xie Biao almost squeezed these two words out of his throat.

He watched the two subordinates introduce each other for them naturally, as if it was not a robbery scene, but a netizen Mianji, and he had the absurd illusion of seeing a ghost in a trance.

His heart suddenly beat heavily.

These two have always been measured people.This time, they came out to work, not out for an outing to build a team. It was impossible for them to suddenly ignore the overall situation and make such silly jokes during the robbery...

At this moment, the short-haired woman next to her was in a trance for a moment, then she laughed. She said naturally, "It turned out to be Mr. Joey. I'm so sorry that I asked you to come to pick up the painting in person..." Her tone of voice There was unprecedented sincerity and guilt in it, which made Xie Biao even more delusional.

But for a moment he dared not make a sound.

As the short-haired woman opened her mouth, the remaining servants quickly showed a dazed look, and looked at the young man with respect.

The expressions on their faces clearly read #啊这是那些谈谈谢姐姐姐# in large characters, as if they had never met each other but had been famous for a long time, as if they had seen something worthy of respect Like a big shot.

Xie Biao: "..."

Suddenly, indescribable horror engulfed his heart like a snake, making his whole body feel numb.

Xie Biao said cautiously: "What painting?"

"Of course Mr. Joey accidentally lost the painting!" The two subordinates who led the people in answered eagerly, but Baijia, who has always been deceiving, said in a very natural tone, "Brother Xie, have you forgotten?" ? Obviously we contacted Mr. Joey as soon as we found out, and made an appointment to return it to him!"

So this is the so-called agreement?Wake up!When did we become good people who pick up paintings!

The questioning words stuck in his throat, but Xie Biao dared not speak.

With a stiff face, he looked at the strange scene of a happy conversation in front of him, and saw that his accomplices and subordinates naturally accepted this strange stranger.

Even the two accomplices who were seriously injured and turned into hostages showed relaxed expressions like meeting friends.

He looked at the young man named Joey who was regarded as a familiar and close friend by everyone in a very short period of time. The black, long and straight girl presented the encyclopedia of ancient objects in her arms with her own hands, and let the other party inside Find the so-called "lost painting".

Isn't all this really a dream?

Absurd, weird, bizarre, everything that happened around him was so unreal, even his familiar accomplices and subordinates seemed to be parasitized by some kind of strange monster at this moment, appearing in their skin in front of myself.

——Every expression on their faces is so strange.

Xie Biao suddenly thought of some rumors about strange objects.

Although most strange objects do not have strong attack power, they have various strange and incomprehensible characteristics.

For example, he had heard before that there was a strange object contained by the Detective Department, which was a piano left by a famous musician who died.It will play automatically at twelve o'clock in the morning every day, and people who hear the music will walk over unknowingly, dancing to the music, like sleepwalking.

——This ability may seem funny, but it is actually a powerful field control skill.Not long ago, the border police borrowed this strange object from the Department of Detectives, and directly controlled and dismantled a gang of drug lords without a single soldier.

When the piano sounded in the early morning, all the members of the gang ran to the piano uncontrollably, dancing while walking.No matter what they were doing.

In this way, they were caught by the police wearing special earplugs.

Afterwards, similar things happened several times, and the effect of that strange object was finally leaked out, which immediately made people panic.

As far as Xie Biao knows, in order to avoid lessons learned, some organizations in the underground world are now accustomed to wearing earplugs to sleep in the middle of the night, for fear that when they wake up, they will be caught by the police.

But in this way, the noise at night was cut off, and it would undoubtedly be very dangerous if someone sneaked in, so they arranged night shifts.

The task of destroying or stealing the "Piano Played at Midnight" has also been placed on the underground reward list. If it weren't for that strange object being hidden in the mysterious headquarters of the Detective Department, I am afraid that many people would have followed it up.

There was such a precedent before, and all the weird things happening around him at this time made Xie Biao immediately think of strange things.

Moreover, it is also a strange thing that can transform people's minds.

Finished!

Even the leader of the robbers who had many lives in his hands couldn't help trembling a little. He looked at the long-haired young man who seemed to come out of a painting, his eyes flicked over his silky long hair, and his pale face that couldn't see the sun. And those gloomy eyebrows...

Is this guy really alive?

Or is he the weirdness itself?

Xie Biao's face completely lost all color.

He didn't know why he was still thinking rationally. At this moment, he even wished that he would be like those bewitched accomplices and subordinates, unconsciously treating each other as close acquaintances and friends, at least not having to bear the strangeness of being bewitched. Fear tormented by the unknown...

Yao country does not teach martial arts regardless of good and bad. Anyone with a criminal record is not included in the teaching of martial arts. At least one has to pass a series of rigorous inspections to have a chance.However, since the basic part of the "Martial Arts" has been spread so widely, it is impossible to keep it strictly confidential. Those who have not obtained the qualifications for martial arts training cannot find others to learn through formal channels at most, and those who are in the underground world will always have their own. way.

Ever since he practiced "Martial Arts" and found that he was in a good position, Xie Biao, who was already bold and cautious, became bolder. After leading a gang to fight for a few votes without being caught, he almost gave birth to #查异司但Such an arrogant heart, but at this moment, this arrogance has been extinguished, since he embarked on the road of martial arts, this is the first time he has felt such fear.

He clenched his fists hanging by his side.

The surging inner energy in his body gave Xie Biao a little courage.He is very clear that his current cultivation base is considered to be top-notch in Yao Country.This is currently his biggest reliance.

Do you want to fight?

Silently circulating the inner energy and adjusting his breathing rhythm, Xie Biao carefully observed the long-haired young man taking out one antique after another from the encyclopedia, and then a scroll of paintings.

——The thin, long-haired young man with his beautiful long eyelashes hanging down, slowly took out a scroll of paintings from the thick encyclopedia of illustrated books of antiquities, his movements were as gentle as falling snow that was about to melt.
