Lin Sanjiu stepped into the Black Stone Collection again in order to become a thief.
The round paper lanterns floating in the night sky hovered above the shops, and the light strips that flowed like dragons were still as steady and bright as not long ago, illuminating the entire black stone collection as bright as day; everywhere, the lights were bright, and the crowds were panicking.
The desolation and helplessness left behind after they dispersed were clearly visible to people.
...If there's ever a better time to be a thief, it's right now.
From time to time, Lin Sanjiu could still see the stall owners who had not had time to leave just now. They either had a large bag of things on the table, or they were empty-handed and were unpacking the stalls. She had just walked for a while, and several people shouted to her.
- "Girl! Did you just come here, or are you back again?" "I heard that that person is not actually a puppet master. Is it true?"
It's now time, there's no need to scare people, not to mention it might be safer for him to let the news spread that "the puppet master is not here".
"I'm not a puppeteer." Lin Sanjiu's mask had been exposed, and there was no point in wearing it anymore. She had to try her best to walk in the shadow of the store ceiling. Whenever anyone asked, she would say vaguely: "There is no puppeteer at all."
I didn’t come to Blackstone Collection, so I don’t know who did the prank..."
"Who else does this kind of thing?"
When she walked onto Avenue D, a familiar face poked out from behind the stall table. She had obviously heard the conversation not far away. The stall owner's forehead was still glistening with sweat, and he didn't even have time to
He had completely recovered from his recent embarrassment; in front of him was a bag of cloth that had just been opened, with the reflections of several pieces of porcelain exposed in the bag.
He had obviously managed to put away a large stall of porcelain tiles. Before he could leave, he heard that the puppet master had not come and was about to put the porcelain tiles out again. He raised his eyes and saw Lin Sanjiu.
, and immediately said hello: "Hey, is it you?"
"Well," Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to get close to the central square at the moment. From where he was, he didn't know whether Occidental's projection had disappeared, so he could only walk forward with his shoulders hunched and head buried, not daring to speak loudly: "
Yes, I’ll come back and take a look.”
"Where are you going?" The stall owner became more interested in talking when he saw the regular customer. "Who did the prank? Aren't you afraid that the puppet master will trouble him afterwards?"
Lin Sanjiu came back to be a thief this time. How could she steal something while chatting? She looked around and saw that other stall owners were far and near, and they no longer paid attention to her. Only this one was selling porcelain tiles.
Staring at her, he simply walked up to the shop and said, "The porcelain tiles I bought from you tonight seem to be of average effect?"
The stall owner seemed to have been slapped unexpectedly, his face turned red. "Ah? What did you say? My porcelain tiles? My porcelain tiles are only average?"
"Well, it's not as good as trial ones." Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and lower her voice and said, "Are you sure you didn't sell me porcelain tiles of poor quality?"
"You are just scolding me. All my porcelain tiles are of the same quality, very good!" The stall owner was a little excited. He glanced at her suspiciously and said, "I don't accept returns or exchanges here...
…”
"I'm not returning it, I just want you to see what's going on?" Lin Sanjiu said, quickly placing a handful of the porcelain tiles she just bought tonight on the stall.
When the stall owner grabbed the porcelain pieces and looked at them carefully bit by bit against the light, she stepped back between the two stalls in one step; her eyes swept around quickly, and finally landed on the one in the shadows.
On the small shrine.
The small shrine, which would be immediately shattered upon being impacted by any external force, causing the power of Karma inside to leak out, even when everyone was running away in a hurry, was still sitting peacefully in the gap between the shops until now——
It probably didn't expect that it, which everyone shunned, would become someone else's target tonight.
If you want to restore the invisible and colorless power of Karma that covers the entire world, Ji Shanqing can't do it. But if there is only a small part...
When Lin Sanjiu's fingers lightly touched its surface, she felt the small shrine tremble suddenly like jelly; it felt as if she was about to break if she just touched it a little bit - but the small shrine was in a
After being stimulated, together with the power of Karma in his belly, it turned into a card.
At the same time when the card was held in his hand, the stall owner's voice also sounded: "Huh? Where have you been?"
"I just want to take a look," Lin Sanjiu stepped out of the gap and the card disappeared in his hand. "How about the porcelain pieces?"
"I don't think there's any problem. What was your reaction after eating it?" The stall owner has a bit of a craftsman spirit and doesn't seem to give up until he understands it.
Lin Sanjiu got a small shrine, but it was not enough.
Ji Shanqing made it clear to her - he couldn't attack the power of Karma that covered the entire world, but there was already a small portion in the Black Stone Collection, which was just right for them to use.
However, using the power of Karma to establish contact with Yu Yuan and capture the body stewards in the crowd is essentially an experiment; even if the first attempt is successful and everyone splits up to find the person, each of them will need a copy of Karma.
power, so at least seven or eight small shrines are needed.
"After eating it, I didn't seem to have any reaction." Lin Sanjiu regretted the excuses she made, but she couldn't do it anymore and could only continue the lie: "You do some research first, I'll go shopping first..."
There are many small shrines containing the power of Karma placed on every path in the Black Stone Collection. As long as no one sees them, she doesn't have to worry about not having enough targets to steal.
"Ah? No response? The effect of the item has not been upgraded?"
Seeing that the stall owner sat back down with a frown on his face and turned the light on the porcelain pieces to take a closer look, Lin Sanjiu quickly seized the opportunity and walked out towards the depths of Lane D - the puppet master scared away so many people.
, but it provided her with a great opportunity; there were only three cats and two dogs left, and no one paid attention to her. She easily collected all the small shrines on the side of D Road into the card library.
.
When she finished stealing and walked back to the porcelain stall, she found that the stall owner looked very serious.
"I can't see anything wrong no matter how I look,"
Before Lin Sanjiu could open her mouth, the stall owner spoke first, seeming to think that the situation was serious. "Are you sure you ate the way I taught you?"
It seems too blunt to say it's okay now...
Every minute that Lin Sanjiu spent in the Black Stone Collection, she felt on pins and needles, fearing that when she looked back, she would find a body butler of Oasis standing behind her.
She just wanted to go out as soon as possible. She said "hmm" and said tentatively: "Why don't you forget it for today? I'll take it back and try again..."
The stall owner sat back down again, shook his head repeatedly and said: "This can't be forgotten. I have sold so many porcelain tiles, and no one has ever complained to me. So, what do you want to use the porcelain tiles for?
As for the items? You eat one here, and I’ll watch you eat it, so that you don’t use the wrong porcelain pieces. If there is any problem, I will be able to see it right away and solve it for you on the spot.”
Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth, looked at the piece of porcelain that the stall owner put into her hand, and whispered: "I have something to do now..."
Now is not the time to leisurely eat porcelain tiles, the gift package is still waiting for her to go back.
"Don't be afraid, just eat it in one bite and I won't waste you ten seconds." The stall owner said. As if he could tell that Lin Sanjiu wanted to leave, he added: "I have been here for almost 14 months."
Yes, if you don’t eat now, you may not be able to see me next time you come to Blackstone Collection.”
Forget it, instead of pushing and giving ground to attract attention, it would be better to just eat it in one bite and get out as soon as possible.
… If you wrap the inside of your mouth with your consciousness, you won’t eat so much that your teeth will break into pieces and bleed, right?
Just as Lin Sanjiu was about to bite the porcelain piece, the stall owner immediately reminded him: "Only take the items you want to refine. Except for the props, you can't take anything else with you."
She was startled, and reflexively put her hand on her neck - the words "But I can't take off my collar" didn't even come out of her mouth, but when her fingers touched the warm skin of her neck, it suddenly turned into something...
Clouds and smoke.
...Yes, her collar was broken by Oulcyus.
Because the pressure of escaping has been getting heavier and heavier lately, making it hard to breathe, Lin Sanjiu almost forgot that she had lost her collar; there was a small part of her deep in her consciousness that seemed to be still worrying about eating the porcelain pieces.
, can only be tempered [Pygmalion Collar].
Without the collar...that means she can choose any item.
Lin Sanjiu held the porcelain piece in her mouth, lowered her head, looked at the [Ability Polishing Agent] in her hand, and was a little stunned for a moment.
Recently, I keep getting into the state of "I don't know if my writing is good or not." It's quite annoying... I generally have feelings about whether my writing is good or not, and this kind of neither good nor bad is the most uncomfortable.
