Chapter 004 Crazy Plan
Ryan had received professional training in stealing skills at the base, so it only took him two or three seconds to touch a corpse.
But apart from a solid gold pocket watch, Ryan didn't find anything else of value in the body's pocket.
In a blink of an eye, he saw a black storage ring on the ring finger of the corpse's left hand, and he was suddenly delighted again.
"This guy actually has... a space storage ring!"
This kind of space equipment is priceless in this world and is an exclusive storage treasure for nobles and high-level extraordinary people.
Having this kind of thing means there is a priceless treasure in the ring!
Without any hesitation, Ryan touched the black ring, as if he had opened a computer folder in his previous life, and then a wide variety of items appeared before his eyes.
This storage space of about one cubic meter contains a large number of precious metal coins, gold crowns, silver nars, and large-denomination banknotes issued by the Imperial Bank of Omar.
Then there are some extraordinary professional books on doctors, some strange materials and rows of medicines...
This is a huge fortune that would make anyone jealous!
…
"He's rich! This guy actually put all his belongings in the storage ring..."
When Ryan saw so many things in the storage ring, he immediately realized that this was his "great opportunity".
But in an instant, thoughts started racing again.
"This guy escaped. The people from the Weasel Group up there must not be all dead yet. When they come down, they will definitely track down the bodies. Even if I run with the stuff, the possibility of escaping is extremely low with Quinn, who has unlocked the three-stage gene lock, tracking me! And now Tiger is dead, but the toxins in my body are still there... If I don't get the antidote, I won't survive for long if I run away now."
After a little thought, Ryan realized that this was not the best time to escape.
At the same moment, an even crazier plan flashed through his mind.
As long as the plan succeeds, there is a great chance that they can escape the control of the "Weasel Thieves" and become rich overnight!
"Fortune and honor come from risk, let's do it!"
The situation is urgent and there is no room for worldly considerations.
After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, his eyes flashed and he acted without hesitation.
Ryan did not carefully count the things in the storage ring, and did not even touch the ring. Instead, he put all these things into the folding space carried by the "intelligent brain", leaving behind some clothes, coins and other things that seemed to have no value.
And Baron Morin's body remained intact.
The sewers were filled with sewage, leaving few traces.
The assassin's training subjects include trace tracking and anti-tracking. He carefully dealt with the traces he left behind, and then returned along the same route.
Although there were still some minor flaws, Ryan was sure that even if the top leaders of the "Weasel Group" found any suspicious points, they would definitely not suspect him in a short period of time.
To catch a thief and take the dirty stuff, those guys don't care about Baron Morin's death, but only care about what's on him.
No one would have thought that he had a folding space carried by the 21st century's top technology "smart brain" that could hide things without a trace!
Without the stolen goods, he would have more room to make excuses and for others to imagine.
…
After doing all this, Ryan immediately returned to the previous sewer intersection.
Looking again, Captain Tiger and the other two newcomers had indeed been killed by the poison gas.
The concentration of poisonous gas in the surrounding area has been reduced a lot due to air circulation, but it is still deadly.
In my mind, the "smart brain" kept sounding danger warnings.
"This poison gas can easily kill a transcendent in seconds. It's really toxic..."
Ryan didn't dare to be careless.
Following the prompts from his intelligent brain, he carefully chose a downwind location slightly away from Tiger's body to avoid being killed by the poison gas.
Then he took two deep breaths of poisonous gas, enough to knock a person unconscious but not fatal.
Instantly, the pungent smell like ammonia filled his respiratory tract, and he immediately felt a black screen in front of his eyes and completely lost consciousness.
The possibility of being caught if you run away now is very high, but... the most dangerous place is actually the safest!
That's right, he planned to pretend to be poisoned, then take advantage of the situation and return to the base to get the antidote for the [Zombie Potion]!
…
I don't know how long it took, but consciousness gradually returned.
Faintly, Ryan heard someone talking in his ear.
"Haven't you found those things yet?"
"No……"
"Captain Quinn, Baron Morin's storage ring only contained some unimportant items such as coins and clothes. In this case, either the guy fled without taking the items with him, or someone stole those items after his death..."
"The storage ring is still there, so it's unlikely that it was stolen. Unless the thief also has a storage ring, even if he took a few items, he couldn't hide them. Now it seems that the biggest possibility is that Baron Morin had a backup plan and hid the items long before the incident and didn't bring them with him..."
"I didn't expect that guy to have such a poison gas bomb. The action made too much noise and attracted the city guards of the 'Steel Castle'. We had to evacuate in a hurry. If the things are still in the manor, it is very likely that they fell into the hands of Marquis Barrett . If that's the case, it will be troublesome..."
"Unfortunately, Tiger is dead. The only person alive in the sewer who fainted after inhaling the poison gas is still alive. No one knows what happened. Moreover, I have searched several people and the surrounding area, and there is no sign of hiding anything..."
"Let's wait until 9527 wakes up and ask him. But I don't think we'll get any useful information. After all, the poison gas kills people instantly. He's lucky to be alive..."
"Oh... this is troublesome. That master had to mobilize the hidden agents in the 'Steel Fort' to let us sneak in. Now we haven't got the things, how are we going to report to the envoy..."
…
Ryan looked at the time prompt on the "intelligent brain" and found that he had been in a coma for three days.
Taking another look at his surroundings, he immediately confirmed that he had returned to the base camp of the "Weasel Phantom Thieves".
"The base's medical laboratory! I finally got back here..."
This was expected. Ryan lay on the medical bed, looked around at the enclosed cabin, and felt relieved.
As expected, not long after Ryan woke up, the leader Quinn and several high-ranking members of the Phantom Thieves came in person to inquire.
After all, he was the only survivor in the sewer, and everyone wanted to know what happened to Baron Morin after he escaped into the sewer.
Unfortunately, Ryan's answer was naturally that he knew nothing.
He said he passed out after inhaling a breath of choking toxic gas.
To others, his statement seemed completely flawless.
It happened to be at the entrance of the downwind passage and on the edge of the poisonous gas explosion. This is the only reasonable explanation for the survival of 9527.
After all, Tiger, the "awakener" who unlocked the first-order gene chain, died. The only way for a newcomer to survive could be luck.
Under normal circumstances, if Ryan hadn't been reminded by the "intelligent brain", he would have been killed by the poison gas in the sewer like Tiger and the other two newcomers, without having time to react.
Moreover, no one would have thought that after stealing the things in the storage ring, he boldly returned to the poisonous fog area and poisoned himself to death.
…
Next, Ryan has to get the antidote for the [Zombie Potion] in his body here!
