Volume 2: Scales in the Pond Chapter 154 Thief Company
It was eleven o'clock before Qiao Ji returned to Yujing.
Although the speed of teleportation was not slow, each step was five to six hundred meters, and he could teleport two to three times in a second.
But it is impossible to tell the direction in the shadows, and you have to stop frequently to wait for signals and check the satellite positioning on the helmet to see if it has deviated.
Moreover, every time you go in and out of the area where light and dark meet, it is very bad for your eyes, and you often need to stop and relax for a while.
There is no such pleasure as running at supersonic speed in the physical body. The feeling of flying on the wind is amazing.
Is there any prop that can fly? Qiao Ji thought about getting a flying prop.
The harvest this time was pretty good. The biggest gain, of course, was the sublimated soul of Chacha, the earth-level psychic.
The power of his sons also brought Qiao Ji a large amount of low-end soul income.
Soul Balance:
Ascended Soul: 2
Transformed Soul: 84
Strong Soul: 161
Ordinary Soul: 295]
How to relieve worries? Only by getting rich quickly.
This is because the subordinates of Chachai's sons are not all in the camp. Many of them are handling their illegal business in various places. Otherwise, Qiao Ji would have obtained more souls.
But Qiao Ji was too lazy to hunt them one by one. It was too troublesome and time-consuming to deal with these scattered people.
But now that he had a large number of low-level souls, Qiao Ji did not feel too happy. What he needed mainly were the souls of earth-level psychics.
It turns out that clearing out criminal groups is the most profitable business. The results of this night's hard work were much faster than plotting and scheming to deal with the chief priests of the Original Sin faction.
The criminal forces in these areas are like dungeons. They usually stay in their own territories. Once you have investigated them clearly, you can go to the dungeons to get equipment.
Finally they reached the sixth ring road of Yujing. It would only take a few steps to get back to the hotel, so Qiao Ji slowed down.
He stood on a lamppost, removed his Pilot equipment, and scanned the surroundings in stealth, looking for a midnight snack.
Although I ate a little before coming back, I'm hungry again now.
It’s late at night, but there should still be many businesses open at this time. Let’s go and take a look.
He jumped nimbly from street lamp to street lamp, looking for the scent.
Suddenly, he smelled a foul odor.
“Stinky tofu!”
Let’s go and see what the stinky tofu here tastes like .
Qiao Ji jumped down from the street lamp, released his invisibility, and walked towards the night market stall over there.
Swish
Something passed by, carrying with it a dark aura that was somewhat familiar to Qiao Ji, and was somewhat similar to the power of a tattoo sticker.
Huh? Something just jumped over there.
And no one was seen.
If it were someone else, they would just be busy with their own things and wouldn't care about these things, nor would they be able to do so.
But Qiao Ji had the ability to see far away. After a closer look, he discovered that it was a faint shadow moving rapidly on the ground.
It is night now, and it will only show some traces when it passes through the area illuminated by street lamps. A shadow can be seen moving.
Is this a shadow?
Transforming into a shadow and moving on a plane is different from Qiao Ji's space-time shadow.
Qiao Ji didn't care at first, but the other party stopped after running around a corner and appeared in a blind spot.
A humanoid creature with long and thin limbs, a big belly, blue-gray skin, sparse and dry yellow hair, and scattered teeth.
"Boss, give me a large portion of stinky tofu."
When Qiao Ji saw the figure that had emerged from the shadow, he was shocked by its appearance. "Damn, I would rather die than choose such an ugly beast transformation ability. Is this a zombie transformation?"
Although it is a bit ugly, it can be seen that it is roughly a human, probably a person with super powers.
However, the appearance of this supernatural power is really hard to describe.
The ugly psychic was holding a waist bag with a broken strap. The bag looked very dirty and greasy, and the zipper was half open. There was a lot of change in it. He took out the bills and counted them carefully.
Why are you not sleeping late at night and running out to count money?
Are you sick?
In the frying pan, the stinky tofu was sizzling as Qiao Ji was waiting for his midnight snack.
At the stall next to him, the owner of the fried rice noodles was holding a hundred-dollar bill that a customer had just given him, and suddenly shouted, "Hey, where's my wallet?"
The customer gave him a hundred-dollar bill and was about to give the change when he suddenly realized that his wallet was missing.
Qiao Ji: ...
After searching for two rounds without success, the owner of the fried rice noodles shop had no choice but to borrow money from his colleague nearby to give the change to his customer.
Then I searched twice more and still couldn't find it, so I started to get anxious.
"Lao Zheng, where do you put your wallet?"
"I always wear it around my waist."
"When did you disappear?"
"I don't know."
…
Everyone was talking at once, but no one had a good idea.
Qiao Ji is waiting for his stinky tofu.
I know you are in a hurry, but please wait a moment. I will help you get it back when my stinky tofu is ready.
"How spicy do you want it, handsome?"
"Just a little spicy."
Mix the ingredients, put them in a box, put them in a plastic bag, and then put a pair of disposable chopsticks in.
"Handsome guy, your stinky tofu is ready."
"Thanks."
Qiao Ji handed over a twenty-dollar bill, picked up his stinky tofu and left.
Wait until the stinky tofu stall owner counts out the change from his pocket and takes a look.
"Where are the people?"
He came out from behind his cart and looked left and right, but didn't see the young man.
Don't walk so fast, I haven't given you the change yet!
"Would you like some stinky tofu?"
"Eat."
"Boss, two servings of stinky tofu, please."
At this time, a couple came over to take care of his business. The boss could only put the change back into his bag and wait for the customer to get the change himself. Anyway, his stall remained unchanged.
…
Qiao Ji rushed over with the stinky tofu in his hand, only to find that the ugly guy suddenly turned into a pool of shadow, continued to move on the ground, and left.
Why?
Did you spot me?
Qiao Ji was unsure, but he just kept following. When he was within 500 meters, he could sense the shadow without using his eyes, so he just followed it.
This thing was moving quite fast, at least 40 kilometers per hour, like a big black rat moving on a flat surface. After turning a few corners, it arrived at an unfinished building, which was quite remote.
When he got here, he showed up, and when he went upstairs, a creature as ugly as him appeared next to him.
"How was the harvest today?"
"Not bad, I made over 400 today."
"That's ok, Erhu only got a hundred today."
Qiao Ji once thought that they could speak zombie language, but he didn't expect that they could speak human language.
But is this just the amount of money earned by stealing?
Can you find a class to take?
Apart from anything else, you don't even need to put on any makeup when you go to a haunted house to scare people with your looks.
He glanced upstairs and was shocked by what he saw.
There were more than a dozen people with different ugly looks inside. Even Qiao Ji, who had just smashed a criminal group, almost threw the stinky tofu out in excitement.
Are you a company of thieves or an ugly company?
