It was originally a calm night. The maple leaves at Columbia University in autumn had already fallen to the ground. The breeze blew in gently from outside the window. The moonlight shone in old Richard's studio and also shone on several people who were looking at each other.
…
Time seemed to have stopped, and everyone in the studio was cast under a restraining spell...
The stupid leader of the thieves who was squatting on the ground and wearing a red scarf suddenly asked in a low voice: "Why don't you wear a red scarf?"
Ren He didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. This guy really has a bad brain. He is a serious person who comes here to steal paintings. Why is he wearing a red scarf?!
The man in black was confused at the time. What was he asking without thinking?! He was completely confused about the situation now. He had been planning for so long and finally started to take action. As a result, the plan encountered Waterloo just after it started. So many things
What are you doing in this studio without turning on the lights?
Also, why are they all wearing red scarves? What I just said about stealing things is wrong, are you saying it to yourself?!
Everything he heard and saw tonight revealed a strange atmosphere. He always felt that something had gone wrong, but he had no idea where it was...
He is a big thief and has successfully succeeded 6 times, stealing a total of 14 million US dollars. He is very low-key and never leaves his own mark when stealing something like in movies or novels. The method of maximizing hatred is simply
He is just mocking the police and the law. If anything happens, he will be punished for multiple crimes. He just wants to quietly steal things and make a fortune in silence.
He was so smart that he began to feel conceited about himself. He thought his IQ was high enough to be comparable to legends in movies and TV shows.
He thought his life was magical enough, at least compared to ordinary people, but... everything he encountered tonight was so bizarre that it was beyond his understanding...
Until now, he has not been able to connect everything in front of him: the dark studio, the intact safe, four people wearing red scarves, three squatting and one standing, all looking at him silently... and then
I asked myself, why don’t you wear a red scarf?
Why should I wear a red scarf?! The plot is not coherent at all, is it?!
The man in black feels that there is an obvious asymmetry of information now. He has no idea why these four people are here, or even why they are squatting...
Ren He suddenly said to him: "Come on, you can also squat next to them."
The man in black didn't understand the situation, but Ren He knew very well that this person must be another person who came to steal the painting. Judging from the time, the other person should also come to steal the stubborn painting.
And Ren He always felt that this thief might not be simple. In fact, he looked much more professional than the three people who were already squatting. At least his outfit was relatively professional.
The man in black was even more confused. As soon as the squatting one asked why he didn't wear a red scarf, the standing one asked him to squat down. Such a matter-of-fact tone almost made him believe it!
Now he understands a problem, the situation is not right! No matter what the situation is, it is not right anyway! Leave this place of right and wrong first and observe for a while!
However, there was no way he could leave at this time. Although Ren He did not intend to call the police, he could not simply let them go.
He didn't call the police because he felt that he didn't need to act as a co-police in the United States, but it didn't mean that he had to ignore these people's attempts to steal his oil paintings!
The man in black turned around and prepared to jump out of the window again, but he heard the whistling wind behind him. It seemed like some blunt object was flying towards him. If he jumped out of the window according to the original plan, he would probably be hit!
In the flash of lightning, the man in black gave up the idea of jumping out of the window and quickly lowered his body, resting his limbs on the ground for a while, intending to wait for the thing above his head to fly past before continuing to jump out of the window.
His reflexes and body speed were quick enough, but before he could stand up with his butt raised, he felt a huge force on his butt suddenly kicked up. The speed and the sound of the wind caused by the opponent made him again
No chance to react!
The man in black was already lying on the ground, with a big shoe mark on his butt. The three stupid thieves wearing red scarves next to him looked at each other. When the man in black jumped out of the window, Ren He threw the drawing board out.
At that time, the man in black used his intuition to dodge the drawing board so fast that they all exclaimed, he is indeed a professional and his skills are very good!
But everything that happened after that instantly refreshed their view of good skills. They didn't even see how Ren He moved. They saw Ren He kicking the man in black to the ground.
It's really not a loss for three people to be beaten down...
"As expected of a knight!" the leader of the stupid thieves sighed.
The man in black lying on the ground just hit his head against the wall and is now a little dizzy, but he still hears these words clearly, knight?! This young man behind him is a knight!?
He has watched the video of the knight, and he has made his own assessment of the strong physical fitness. Now he understands clearly that even if he jumps out of the window, it will be difficult to escape... he can't escape others!
It was something he never expected that the knight would appear in this studio, but it seemed very reasonable, because what he wanted to steal was the knight's oil painting!
He can't run away, but he absolutely can't go to jail. He still has a family, children, and a normal life. He can't just sit back and die! He knows very well how strong the knight's physical fitness is, but strong physical fitness does not mean that the opponent is
Very capable!
The man in black was dizzy and used his strong will to suddenly attack and hurt people. He planned to use his proficient fighting skills to sneak attack the knight. He was sure that with one successful blow, the knight would completely lose his combat effectiveness!
But before he could swing out his fist, there was another gust of wind and he fell back to the ground without any room to dodge...
There was only a deep sense of powerlessness left in his heart. It turned out that in the face of absolute power, skills were useless...
This is a feeling of being condescended and completely crushed. The man in black lay on the ground and couldn't get up. It wasn't that he couldn't get up. After all, Ren He didn't step too hard, but he didn't want to get up...
If this was still the time when Ren He had just traveled through time, Ren He would probably have to work harder, because he was still a bit soft-hearted at that time, but now Ren He is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and has faced the muzzle of a black hole.
That moment really brought about a huge change in Ren He's psychology.
In the face of a crisis, you must first ensure your own safety before talking about other things.
While Ren He was on guard against another sneak attack by the man in black, he searched him for weapons such as daggers and pistols. There were no daggers or guns, but he found a few bits and pieces of stuff that he didn't even know what they were for.
For opening safes?
Without an ID card or a mobile phone, there was no way to confirm the identity of the man in black. Ren He thought for a while and stood up and touched the man in black who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead: "Go, go over there with your companions."
Let's all squat together, don't force me to use any violent means, everyone should first recite 'stealing is wrong' a hundred times."
When the man in black was lying on the ground and heard this sentence, he understood in his heart: The plot was finally coherent, and those three were also thieves caught by the knight...
