12dz Chapter 123 Thief
Chapter 123 Thief
After saying goodbye to Brother Xiao, I prepared to go to the library to pick up my younger sister.
When I arrived at the library, I saw a completely different scene. This place was even more prosperous than I had imagined. There were so many people buying books, all vying to buy the books they liked. I don't really like reading, but seeing so many people made my eyes twitch. I always felt that something bad was going to happen.
Sure enough, when I was walking through the crowd to look for Zhenzhu and Yuxuan, there was suddenly chaos ahead. I saw that this was not good. Once there was chaos in a crowded place, it would be very easy for trampling to occur, and in serious cases, people would die!
I shouted "Pearl!" in the crowd, but I saw Shan Ziyu running towards the voice. He told me in panic that there were too many people and he and Pearl and the others got separated!
I said angrily: How come you, a boy, can't even keep up with a girl?
I was extremely anxious and looked around for Zhenzhu and Yuxuan. At this moment, I heard someone shouting for help from the direction of the stairwell.
I ran over and found a girl lying on the ground at the second floor stairs, with an overturned bookshelf next to her. Could it be Pearl? I was startled and pushed through the crowd to get there.
However, the person who fell to the ground was not Pearl, but a strange girl. She looked seriously injured, so I quickly squatted down and asked what happened.
The girl said: Just now a masked man deliberately bumped into her and stole her money. When she found out and was about to call for help, the man ran upstairs! She accidentally fell and knocked over the bookshelf and was hit.
I said I would call an ambulance for you, and I quickly dialed the number and rushed up the stairs, calling out the names of Zhenzhu and Yuxuan, while looking around anxiously. Finally, I found them trembling with fear in the corner of the top floor, but I didn't see the thief I mentioned.
I quickly stepped forward and pulled up Zhenzhu and Yuxuan, comforting them both, telling them not to be afraid that their brother was coming.
The little sister threw herself into my arms and cried: a man had just robbed her jewelry and money, and threatened them not to scream.
I looked at the top floor. There was only one exit, which was the one I came up through. But I didn’t meet anyone when I came up. Where did the man go?
Yuxuan echoed tremblingly: I heard a 'bang', the man must have jumped out of the window and ran away.
Lin Lin, who followed closely behind, leaned over the window and looked down, but saw nothing. He wondered: There are so many people outside, if someone jumped out of the window, it would alarm everyone. Where is that person?
Suddenly Lin Lin came to his senses. There were some bookshelves on our floor that served as barriers to block the top floor into several areas. There was a bookshelf not far from the window. The bookshelf was hidden in the darkness and had an angle. Lin Lin looked at the bookshelf and suddenly stopped talking and winked at me. I instantly understood. Lin Lin must have seen something? He gently raised his head towards a corner of a bookshelf not far from the window. When I looked closely, I saw a bookshelf partition that suddenly appeared there. I immediately understood.
Lin Lin led me closer to the place. Lin Lin instantly pulled the wooden board apart. I immediately took out the 40-centimeter-long machete from the space and prepared to subdue the thief behind the board. Suddenly, I heard a voice begging for mercy, "No, no, don't hurt me, I was wrong, big brother!"
It turned out that the person hiding behind the wooden board was a short man wearing a metal mask. I sternly ordered him to take off the mask!
Under my coercion, he had to take off the mask, and his appearance was very strange, he looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. Although this boy was not good-looking, he exuded a unique temperament, especially like a two-dimensional character, his slender body, arms and ankles were just like those drawn in comics, his big eyes and long eyelashes also looked like they were drawn. At this moment, he was looking at us with frustration, and his bright eyes and the pitiful look of begging for mercy made me feel like I saw the male protagonist in an anime, and he even begged us pitifully to let him go.
At this time, the police who arrived late had already come to the stairwell downstairs. Because they were not clear about the situation, they shouted to us: Listen, people up there, you have been surrounded. Put down your weapons and surrender, and strive for leniency!
At this time, the boy was so nervous that he was trembling all over, and begged me in a low voice: Big brother, please save me, I have similar abilities as you, I will follow you, and I will definitely be able to help you in the future.
I was suddenly startled. Did he see what I was capable of? I took out a set of Li Ning sportswear from my body and asked him to go to the innermost bookshelf over there to change into it. I helped him put away the mask. Then I quickly shouted to the police in the stairwell: Comrade police, the thief jumped out of the window and ran away. This made the police climb upstairs. The police looked at us suspiciously, and when he saw the girls calling me brother, he believed me. He hurried downstairs to catch the thief.
I asked Pearl and the others if they were injured. They both said they were just a little frightened and looked at the boy curiously. I breathed a sigh of relief and told them to go home and talk about it later.
Pearl glared at the boy and asked him to return her things to her. The boy took out Pearl's necklace and gave it back to her in a flattering manner, then said that he had been homeless and hungry for several days and this was the first time he had stolen anything.
Lin Lin scolded people like you who always say it's your first time after being caught.
I thought I couldn't let him get away. If he steals things again, he won't be able to change. Besides, I also want to know what abilities he has. My deeper purpose is to know where he mutated. Maybe I can get the third crystal. So I decided to take him away first.
Zhenzhu and Yuxuan bought a bunch of study materials and several books of ancient poetry. I thought to myself that you are really good students. We went downstairs to find Shan Ziyu and said goodbye to him. Then we took a bus to go back to the Garden Community.
When Lin Lin and I came out of Brother Xiao's place, we put the boxes into the space. Because it was a bit crowded in the morning, I quietly found a corner on the way back and changed to the Bingo car, which was just big enough to accommodate all of us. The boy sat in the back seat, and the two sisters didn't like him very much, so he had to lower his head and didn't dare to say a word.
On the way back, I learned that the boy's name was Song Jue, he was seventeen years old and a homeless orphan. All his family members died in the earthquake. Now he had no place to live and had been idle for several days and just wanted to eat something.
I asked Lin Lin what color the light was above his head?
Lin Lin said that it was also a relatively rare silver light.
After sending the sisters home, we dragged Song Jue out to the car downstairs and asked him the information we wanted to know, asking him what his special abilities were?
Song Jue hesitated for a long time before answering: Actually, my ability is very limited. I can only create some wood, metal, glass and so on at will.
We were both shocked. What kind of ability was this?
I had to drag him back home to watch him demonstrate his abilities live.
Song Jue said to me tearfully: Brother, I'm so hungry. If I don't eat, I won't be able to transform into anything else.
I took out a few burgers from my bag helplessly and handed them to him. When he saw the burgers, his eyes lit up immediately, like a hungry wolf seeing food, he stretched out his hands to grab them, and then opened his mouth wide to bite them hard.
Seeing him eating like a whirlwind, I couldn't help but remind him, "Don't be impatient! Eat slowly, be careful not to choke!"
He didn't listen to what I said. He kept chewing the food in his mouth, nodding and praising incoherently: "Hmm... delicious! It's really delicious!" He cried while eating and said that he hadn't eaten anything good for a long time.
After a while, perhaps because he was a little thirsty, he looked up at me, still chewing the hamburger in his mouth, and asked vaguely: "Brother, do you... do you have any Coke?" I shook my head helplessly, took out another bottle of Coke from my bag and handed it to him.
