Chapter 003: There Are Thieves

Everything was fine yesterday, so why is it suddenly like this now? Could it be that I drank too much yesterday and still haven't sobered up? A thought flashed through Xu Yu's mind, filled with confusion; could this all be an illusion

At the same time, under his intense focus, the entire process of the young man stealing unfolded before him, the fluidity of the technique replaying in his mind like a tape being rewound, as if it were a memory of the soul, seeking to imprint itself deep within his very bones

No

Just as he was becoming increasingly surprised, Xu Yu suddenly realized that her previously decent mental state had directly taken on a trend of fatigue and weariness. If one were to describe that feeling in a single word, it would be exhaustion

The emergence of this thought startled Xu Yu inexplicably, awakening him from the almost perfect dexterity of the thief's skills. Following that, he initially intended to choose 'no' in response to the sudden appearance of this strange ability, as he still had only a vague understanding of it and fundamentally did not know how to integrate it or what could be integrated. However, when his thoughts surged, he inexplicably chose 'yes'.

The fried dough sticks can talk; in the past, he would have never believed it, even if he were beaten to death. For a moment, he began to doubt whether he was experiencing a hallucination.

Even though she was still in a state of extreme shock at that moment, Xu Yu gradually regained some of her ability to think. Upon reaching this conclusion rationally, Xu Yu's expression changed drastically once again.

In a state of extreme tension and shock, Xu Yu suddenly released her grip, dropping the fried dough stick onto the ground. Almost simultaneously, she retreated in haste, and with the release of the dough stick, all the strange sensations immediately dissipated into thin air.

This can only indicate that the problem lies within himself

All of this is surprisingly true; food can speak, it can disappear into thin air. He is even more perplexed, able to sense hetushucom.com, and sees a strange floating space. What is this spiritual energy?

Staring blankly, a strange luster suddenly illuminated the space that had appeared in my mind, surging towards that one fried dough stick.

The one speaking is not a fried dough stick; if that were the case, then why are there no abnormalities with the person who fried these foods or the hotel staff who helped buy them back

Merge to create first-class spiritual energy, 1, whether to use it?

The sudden turn of events within just a few minutes completely overturned Xu Yu's previous understanding of everything.

crackling sound

There, however, is an orange-yellow shoulder bag

This overly bizarre situation suddenly caused him to widen his eyes in shock, and his body tensed up as well. Almost simultaneously, he abruptly realized that his thoughts had unexpectedly connected to a strange place.

Indeed, although the space is composed of air, the newly emerged gas carries an indescribable vibrant quality. Compared to the ordinary air before, it is as if one is clear water and the other is a translucent gem resembling clear water; the two are fundamentally different entities

Xu Yu had just chosen "yes," when the thought resurfaced. Subsequently, he felt that the aura, clearly visible in the strange space within his mind, suddenly vanished from a corner, and his head experienced a sudden warmth.

In terms of scale and economy, it is not inferior to the provincial capital of Huai River Province

After a blink, the youtiao was completely buried. By the next moment, when everything returned to normal, there was no trace of the youtiao left in the area, only a small wave of vibrant and clear gas remained

Regardless of whether this change is good or bad, the determination he has made in his heart will not change with the book club

Accompanying this wave of imagery, Xu Yu suddenly realized that all the memories and images related to thieves that lingered in his mind were inexplicably summoned. Most of those memories were snippets from films he had previously watched, and at that moment, they spun rapidly like short films, flooding into his brain and body

With a face full of despair, she stared intently at the fried dough stick for quite some time, yet no further changes occurred. It was only after Xu Yu suddenly took a deep breath that she gradually calmed down

After a moment of silence, Xu Yu finally mustered the courage to reach out again for another youtiao on the bedside table

In the barely perceptible sound of bones creaking, within just about ten seconds, everything completely vanished.

What is energy? What exactly is energy?

It also rendered him completely stiff once again

In an instant, he seemed somewhat lost in thought, but at that moment, a strange wave of excitement surged in Xu Yu's mind

After a long moment of daze, Xu Yu suddenly jolted awake. Then, a hint of a nonchalant smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. At this point, he had nearly reached the end of his rope; what could possibly be worse than this

Yet he had no idea whether this change was good or bad, and could only sit foolishly at the edge of the bed in a daze. In his stupor, that thought resurfaced, reminding him that the use of this spiritual energy could almost be integrated into all things, including himself

After all, the feeling that the youtiao gave him was that as long as he chose to merge, it would vanish into thin air. He truly did not believe that all of this could really happen

It was as if a space measuring one meter in diameter suddenly appeared in his mind, a space as clean and transparent as ordinary air, yet in one corner, the fried dough stick from earlier quietly floated.

In her fatigue, a thought suddenly flashed through Xu Yu's mind once again

This corner is sharp, like a sprite dancing under the moonlight, appearing and disappearing at the fingertips of Xu Yu. Although each movement still carries a noticeable stiffness, as it turns, that stiffness gradually becomes agile and fluid at an imperceptible speed. However, when Xu Yu sees all of this, she is completely dumbfounded.

Soon, a few pieces of fried dough sticks were quickly consumed by him. Only after he felt full did he slightly sense a bit of recovery from the original fatigue and weariness

Although the weather is still hot at the end of September, there are still many pedestrians on the streets. Ningcheng, although not the provincial capital of Huaijiang Province, has been an ancient capital for several dynasties and boasts many beautiful landscapes. Coupled with convenient water and land transportation, it is quite prosperous and flourishing

Really? The fried dough sticks can actually talk?

As she thought of these things, Xu Yu gradually felt more relaxed. Suddenly, she stood up and reached for another fried dough stick. Although the thought arose again this time, Xu Yu did not follow the thought to merge with it. She merely frowned slightly and acted as if she had not heard it, opening her mouth to take a bite.

The smooth card, nestled between a few of Xu Yu's fingers, suddenly executed a beautiful spin, akin to a fleeting moment, and with a swift motion, it retracted into his palm, vanishing from sight. Yet in the next instant, a sharp corner of the card distinctly emerged.

Strange, what on earth is going on? He merely posed a casual question, yet received such a clear answer, which once again astonished him. However, he soon shook his head gently and chose not to think about it any further

Later on, he gradually formed an idea, wanting to determine whether this was an illusion. In fact, it was quite simple; he just needed to merge with that thought a little, and perhaps he would be able to discern clearly

As she walked slowly with the crowd, Xu Yu suddenly came to a halt, and a hint of something unusual flashed in her gaze as she looked ahead

After a thought crossed his mind, Xu Yu suddenly felt an emptiness in his hand. However, that was not the key issue. What truly made his scalp tingle again was that the fried dough stick had actually vanished into thin air right before his very eyes!

After taking a step or two back, Xu Yu suddenly slumped down onto the bed.

At the same time, he clearly conveyed to Xu Yu that he originally had 3 energy points, but at this moment, his energy value was 2. Energy can be restored through rest, specifically by means of sleep.

When Xu Yu awoke from that strange state, his left hand inexplicably began to move. He had no idea when a mobile phone card had appeared in the palm of his left hand.

Begin integration

Is it integrated

Then, the warmth surged like a tide, sweeping over every inch of his skin with a howling force, and a peculiar sensation of tingling and pain began to quietly rise around him.

Yet his gaze had never strayed from that fried dough stick

Just as his finger touched the second fried dough stick, that strange thought clearly emerged in his mind, instantly startling him and causing him to quickly retract his right hand, staring fixedly at that batch of fried dough sticks, frozen in place.

Although feeling somewhat fatigued, Xu Yu still left the room shortly after and headed towards the Ningcheng Central Bus Station. On the way, he pondered for a moment and bought a mobile phone at a shopping mall near the bus station. Yesterday, he had indeed acted too impulsively; a mobile phone is almost indispensable.

"There is a thief." Upon seeing this scene, Xu Yu immediately had a thought in her mind. Subsequently, she watched in astonishment as a slender left hand, with incredible agility, swiftly and deftly opened a corner of the zipper of a shoulder bag, reached inside, and pulled out an exquisite wallet

It is not an illusion

A familiar thought suddenly flashed under his heartbeat

All of this occurred within just a few seconds, from the moment the young man reached out to pull the chain, to taking out his wallet, and then retracting his hand, not exceeding three breaths. Yet the entire process was as smooth and flowing as a stream, captivating and delightful to behold

In a slight state of gloom, Xu Yu finally took a step forward and walked towards the station

hiss

In the distance, beyond a few meters, a young man dressed in a gray short-sleeve shirt, with a conventional demeanor, is extending his slender, pale left hand. Taking a slight step forward, he reaches towards the left shoulder of a woman walking ahead with her head down.

Not only is he mentally exhausted, but he also feels as if his body has lost a considerable amount of strength.

At this moment, Xu Yu suddenly widened his eyes; this was his first time witnessing someone committing theft with such fluidity, as if the young man in front of him was not stealing, but rather sketching a form of art

Bang!

Although he had become somewhat indifferent to that change, Xu Yu was still curious about what the energy in his thoughts meant. Just as he was pondering this, the energy within him surged again, more clearly explaining the meaning of energy to him, which referred to a person's physical strength and mental state

"How could I suddenly feel so tired?" Although fatigued, Xu Yu still maintained her clarity, quickly contemplating all the changes that had occurred.

In a state of suspicion and paranoia, Xu Yu took a deep breath, grabbed a fried dough stick, and then, when that thought arose again, she directly chose to merge.
