Chapter 4: Insensitivity
Not changing it anymore
Upon entering the hall, I too felt this strange sensation. Do not ask me how I managed to enter the hall; it was Bi Fang who led the way.
None of us spoke, and Xiaoyue had her eyes tightly closed. If one thinks she would be afraid, that would be a complete misunderstanding. She was activating her advanced skill, perceiving the thoughts of all sentient beings within a fifty-meter radius. This ability is nearly impossible to defend against; even my bloodline interference and Wang Laojiu's firewall are ineffective. In fact, Xiaoyue dislikes using this skill. She finds the ability to see through people's hearts quite disgusting, preferring instead to have powers like invisibility, wall-passing, or flying.
At this moment, I leaned close to the old dog's ear and said: "Do you see? This is how it ends when you fall in love, a tragedy."
At this moment, Bi Fang stood up and waved his arms at us, saying: "Sister Yue and I have already decided what we will eat tomorrow. What are you big guys still squatting there for?"
I asked the old dog: "What is this symbol drawn by Xiao Li? Why are you shaking your head? Have you not studied properly? What exactly are you thinking in your mind?"
This villa has two and a half stories and is of the typical style of the Middle Ages Renaissance. It is undoubtedly built by unscrupulous real estate developers who are enamored with foreign styles and lack cultural depth. Who has ever seen furniture in a Renaissance-period room that is decorated in a postmodern decorative style? Can this even be considered a collector's house? It is far less tasteful than our shabby bar.
It is not certain; let's first complete the task, and we can consider it a good deed.
In the absence of security, we managed to smoothly climb over the iron railing. This little challenge was nothing for the three of us, who had been immersed in the thrill of climbing walls from middle school to university. Yueyue was the one I carried over. Bifang was even more carefree, directly melting the railing.
What happened? What happened? Is there a problem? Health is important; if you are not feeling well, let's leave. We don't need that money. The old dog will never miss any opportunity to flatter and ingratiate himself; this is his strength
"It is the heavenly thunder, summoned by the heavenly thunder talisman." Xiaoyue smiled sweetly at us, speaking softly. The old dog's bones softened, and its thoughts immediately drifted away from me.
Bi Fang walked over and grabbed Xiao Lizzi's ear, exuding an air of dominance: "Can't you speak properly? Who are you trying to intimidate?"
"Yang Yun, why are we so foolish? She could just go in first." The old dog looked at me, Xiao Li, and the hole that Bi Fang had created with a gaze that suggested we were simple-minded.
Little Li stood in front of Brother Spring Dream, holding out the photo of the guide and the book pin: "Do you have this? If you do, hurry up and take it out; if not, we might not be so polite with you."
While we were making a commotion, Xiao Li stood up, took out a piece of yellow paper from the pocket of his down jacket, and then retrieved a ballpoint pen from another inner pocket, beginning to draw strange symbols on the paper
Despite Bi Fang's usually lively and carefree demeanor, she is actually quite timid, which is entirely inconsistent with her self-proclaimed identity as the reincarnation of the Vermilion Bird. While her temperament may be suitable, her level of courage is somewhat childlike.
I suddenly remembered a question, so I turned to Xiao Li and asked: "Didn't you just mention a strange aura? What is it? Is the old dog alright?"
We have always regarded thieves as belonging to a lowly profession, but ever since watching "A World Without Thieves," I have deeply felt that every profession, upon reaching a certain level, can transform the mundane into the extraordinary. This was our first time engaging in such a challenging and technically demanding task, which made us all quite nervous. By the time we arrived at our task location tonight after winding through numerous turns, Xiao Li's nose had begun to sweat.
Chunmeng Ge took a closer look at the photo and raised his eyebrows: "Is this what you want?"
"Who asked you that? I want to know where this thing came from?" I remember he didn't bring this equipment with him
Xiao Li Zi first shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know, then shook his head and said the old dog was fine. What is called tacit understanding? This is called tacit understanding
There were a total of six people, and no one spoke; we stared at each other in silence for ten minutes. After all, we, who were committing the burglary, had no technical skills, and we had no intention of actually robbing anyone. Stealing does not require any dialogue, does it
Xiaoyue smiled gently and said, "It is indeed quite lacking in a sense of achievement"
Hey guys, get up, it's just stealing something. When I was stealing, Hong Kong hadn't even returned yet!
After all, this is our first time doing this, and it's only natural to feel a bit nervous; otherwise, it would be a disservice to these iron bars.
After finishing the drawing, Xiao Li Zi let out a breath: "Damn it, drawing talismans is such a hassle. I have to finish it in one breath; if I stop to breathe in the middle, it counts as a failure. Fortunately, I didn't draw the 'Three Yangs Opening to Great Fortune,' or I would have been done for. This house is strange; there are no security guards at all, yet there is a presence of people inside, and a peculiar aura as well. Be careful when you go in. If it really comes to it, I'll just set the talisman on fire and blow it up." This house is strange; there are no security guards at all, yet there is a presence of people inside, and a peculiar aura as well. Be careful when you go in. If it really comes to it, I'll just set the talisman on fire and blow it up.
A few of us began to whisper to each other upon hearing this
What a big revelation, it turns out that this refers to hetushu.com. I didn't know that Nanzhen had this function. However, if it were me, I would definitely throw this thing away
"Do you really think this thing needs to be wrapped up like it's for an Indian?" The old dog muttered as he reached for the copper coffin, preparing to casually open the coffin lid.
The old dog could not withstand provocation, standing up and throwing down his cigarette. The tactic of provocation worked on him like a charm every time. We all said he was a dog that couldn't change its nature, but he insisted that it was due to his strong ambition and unwillingness to fall behind
He led us to the basement, and the excitement lifted our spirits inexplicably. He rummaged through boxes and then took out a wooden box made of redwood. From that box, he pulled out a package wrapped in red silk. Upon opening the package, there was something wrapped in tin foil, and inside the tin foil was a stack of toilet paper. After removing the toilet paper, we found a small coffin that appeared to be made of red copper. He carefully handed us the copper coffin. He then took out another package wrapped in red silk from the same box, opened it to reveal another tin foil-wrapped item, which also contained toilet paper. After removing the toilet paper, we discovered yet another small coffin that looked like it was made of red copper, which he carefully handed to us.
First, Bi Fang spoke: "How terrifying, can we not take it? Let's hurry back."
"Everyone go take a rest, we will open the coffin and inspect the goods early tomorrow morning." Little Li used talisman paper to seal the coffin all around, then placed it on the table, reluctantly signaling everyone to lock the door and go back to sleep
Of course, when she is using this trick, we all must remain focused and free of distractions; otherwise, she will know everything, especially the old dog. I saw him sweating, unsure whether it was from fear or embarrassment. What could be more cruel in this world than making a delusional person stop their fantasies?
"Fart, that's not Li Zi's fault. If I were as gentle as Yueyue, how could that be possible?" He had just boasted about his masculine charm, but upon catching a glimpse of Xiaoyue looking over, he immediately changed his tune. However, I believe that if Xiaoyue truly wanted to know, it would already be too late for the old dog to change his ways; he truly is a tragedy.
The three of us said in unison: "That's right! If you don't take it out, we won't be polite to you."
At this moment, Xiao Li furrowed his brows and said slowly, "Don't you all feel that something is off?"
At this moment, Xiao Li Zi stopped Lao Gou's actions, saying: "This thing is peculiar and quite sinister. Do not open it just yet." He then took the small, intricately carved coffin from Lao Gou's hands to examine it closely
Little Li chuckled and pointed at Bi Fang, exclaiming, "Oh my, isn't that so?" Bi Fang originally had a pair of alluring black stockings, but now only a black-and-white combination remains, with one missing, revealing the white autumn pants underneath. At that moment, I suddenly began to admire Bi Fang's courage and the boldness of Little Li.
We were collectively petrified; I suddenly felt as if we were scavenging for scraps. I truly do not understand why this compass, valued at three hundred thousand, has upset this individual.
We found what he said to be quite strange, so Xiao Li simply placed the item in his hand on the table, signaling him to continue speaking.
Xiaoyue and Bifang covered their mouths and laughed
We held our breath, especially Bi Fang. I could clearly see her calves, clad in white long johns, trembling slightly when she heard about that little coffin, which felt quite eerie.
Before long, the old dog apprehended the fellow who was having a spring dream. Although he was wearing thick pajamas, the tent was still pitched. Xiao Li and I exchanged a knowing smile. With the person caught, the lights were naturally turned on. Since it had escalated from theft to burglary, let us have a reason to continue in the dark.
In the end, we took the copper coffin without opening the lid, as Xiao Lizzi mentioned that this coffin had a suppressive effect on the strange energy within. We also forgot to ask why the compass needed to be placed in a box. With our heads hanging low, we exited the door. Brother Chunmeng, like a host seeing off esteemed guests, accompanied us a considerable distance and handed each of us a piece of bread, saying that working at night was quite taxing and that we should eat something to avoid going hungry. He also invited us to come back often to visit him. With our heads still hanging low, we exited the door. Brother Chunmeng, like a host seeing off esteemed guests, accompanied us a considerable distance and handed each of us a piece of bread, saying that working at night was quite taxing and that we should eat something to avoid going hungry. He also invited us to come back often to visit him.
"There is someone upstairs, having a spring dream." Xiaoyue's anger subsided, and she thought that if she had just watched a spring dream, it was not much different from our usual viewing of adult videos.
Everyone "... ..."
Chunmeng Ge cleared his throat: "This item was purchased by my parents three years ago from an antique dealer. My father said it is at least a second-level national treasure. Not to mention handing it over to the state, it absolutely cannot fall into the hands of foreigners. However, ever since that broken compass came to our home, we have been experiencing continuous misfortunes. The lightest being a broken cup, and the heaviest being a car accident. At first, we did not notice this situation. It was only once when I was playing with this item that I discovered its needle would turn automatically, and it pointed exactly to where our family members were located. I need not elaborate on what happened next; my parents had a car accident. Now, I am the only one left in this large house, and this damned thing has another characteristic: whenever someone passes by or comes near, it spins wildly, and that person is bound to encounter misfortune. Therefore, everyone says this generation is somewhat cursed." Now, I am the only one left in this large house, and this damned thing has another characteristic: whenever someone passes by or comes near, it spins wildly, and that person is bound to encounter misfortune. Therefore, everyone says this generation is somewhat cursed.
I was startled when I turned around, not knowing when Little Li had already put a black stocking over his head. Seeing my terrified expression, Little Li quietly told me: "My features are too distinctive, making it too easy to be recognized"
At this moment, Chunmeng Ge mysteriously whispered to us: "The thing you want is not just any kind of sinister object; it has nearly brought me to the brink of ruin."
As soon as he called out, the motion sensor lights of several neighboring villas lit up, and from a distance, we could hear the barking of dogs. The old dog shrank back in fear. I laughed at him, saying he was so choked by the smoke that tears were streaming down his face
Do you think I don't want to? It's not like I haven't thrown it away before. Every time I dispose of it, within a few days, it finds its way back through various means. That's why I say it's quite uncanny, just this point.
We squatted outside the iron fence, the three of us—myself, the old dog Xiao Lizzi—smoking and contemplating how to easily get our hands on it without being discovered. Xiaoyue and Bi Fang were planning the escape route for after their success, figuring out how to circle around most of the city and finally slip back into the bar without attracting attention.
I cast a strange glance at the symbol in his hand: "What if there were a lightning rod?"
I pondered for a moment: "Don't you all feel a lack of accomplishment?"
The person caught by the old dog was clearly still half-asleep, propping up his dazed eyes to look at us, the intruders.
The old dog scratched the back of his head: "I never learned anything; what I learned was physical techniques, while he learned Taoist arts. They are completely different matters. Besides, the old man said I was a celestial dog reincarnated, and I don't need any Taoist methods. Because of this, Wang Laoer tricked me into eating raw meat." The old dog has always held a grudge against Wang Laoer for deceiving him into eating raw meat.
Nod
... ... ''
Brother, do not make random guesses
Next is the old dog: "Damn it, Wang Laor Er can't be trying to kill us, can he"
At that moment, Xiaoyue suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze sharp and fixed intently in one direction
Are you sure
The Bifang erupted: "Are you done yet? Do you need to call for help from the audience outside? Just bring it out quickly."
That Spring Dream Brother has clearly recovered, blinking at us and asking: "What do you want to do?" This is the universal phrase of everyone after being taken hostage
Then why don't you just throw it away? Xiao Li Zi truly reflects what everyone is thinking
As Xiaoyue locked the door and passed by that strange little coffin, I happened to turn back and saw Xiaoyue silently say "be quiet" to that peculiar object. Suddenly, I became restless, as I always felt that Xiaoyue was hiding something from me
Nod
At this moment, Xiao Li Zi had a face full of apologetic smiles: "Yes, yes, yes. My dear wife, I was wrong, I was wrong. Is that not enough? Be gentle, be gentle."
Chunmeng Ge actually smiled: "Alright, alright, first let go of me, let go, let go. I will take you to get it, but once you have it, you won't return it to me, right?" This Chunmeng Ge is about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a floral checkered pajamas, with a fair and clean face, which is quite pleasing to the eye.
We took a taxi back to the bar, and on the way, the driver nervously glanced at the small coffin in my hands through the rearview mirror. After all, it was almost 3 o'clock; who wouldn't feel uneasy seeing someone holding a coffin?
The old dog could hardly tolerate this; he felt that the bastard who had the spring dream had desecrated Xiao Yue. Regardless of whether she was willing or not, he charged upstairs with a roar, and we couldn't even stop him.
This place is not the exhibition hall we imagined; it is clearly a private villa. Although it is somewhat remote and the atmosphere is rather gloomy, it is no wonder there are no complicated routes or numerous strong security guards. It is no surprise that the old dog mocks it, saying it is even worse than his middle school.
Bifang's reason is that she cannot do anything unbecoming of a lady, while Xiaoyue simply smiles
The hall was shrouded in darkness, with the only light coming from a few ground lights that emitted a chillingly faint glow. The entire hall was arranged like a small museum, devoid of any liveliness, with many areas covered in cobwebs, which made it even more eerie. This place was undoubtedly a trendy haunt of ghostly proportions. Even more terrifying was the fact that Xiao Li mentioned there was someone in this building. I asked myself, if I had to endure this environment for three hours every day for an entire week, I would definitely need to see a psychologist. If it were someone else... It looked even more chilling, and this place was absolutely a trendy haunt of ghostly proportions. Even more terrifying was the fact that Xiao Li mentioned there was someone in this building. I asked myself, if I had to endure this environment for three hours every day for an entire week, I would definitely need to see a psychologist. If it were someone else... Here we go, Bi Fang has entered battle mode. Personally, I feel that among us, Bi Fang's battle stance is the most domineering, because apart from her, none of us have any battle stance at all. To ignite one's entire body without burning one's clothes requires immense inner strength. The most crucial point is that we cannot feel her temperature at all, and although she appears to be in a state of combustion, it is actually not bright at all. This does not conform to the laws of physics. However, to be fair, if everything were to conform to the laws of physics, we might as well all be sent to the crematorium to be made into fertilizer.
"Then why aren't you hurrying to speak! This place is so desolate, who knows if it's haunted or not?" Bi Fang released his grip, looked around, and his eyes were filled with an unknown fear
We no longer possess the ambitious aspirations we had when we first arrived. Had we known it would turn out this way, it would have been better for me to bring it along when I went to procure goods in the morning. Moreover, we damaged their railing and gate, which leaves us, who are wholeheartedly aspiring to be bandits, in a most difficult position
