Chapter 2 Testing
It has been several days since the theft of the famous painting, and the French police released the complete surveillance video of the Louvre, which shows the time when the famous painting was stolen, and no one entered the scene, and the famous painting disappeared in an instant like magic, and the video showed the time at 0:15 in the morning.
Instead, the card with the mouse-like image appeared at the scene, and at the same time, the security system sensed the theft of the famous painting and immediately raised the alarm.
The public's enthusiasm for gossip was ignited again, but this time the most discussed topic shifted from the disappearance of famous paintings to the conjecture of the identity of the "strange thief".
Some of them also questioned the possibility that the video could be edited, but not long after the questioning post was posted on the Internet, some private editors posted a technical post to verify the video frame by frame, proving that the official video had not been edited.
Although the original author stated at the end of the post that this was only based on personal judgment, it did not prevent enthusiastic netizens from translating the post into various languages and posting it on their respective social media. Within 1 hour of its release, the original post reached tens of millions of views.
At this time, Bai Yao, the initiator of the whole incident, was sitting on the balcony of his house, eating corn flakes while enjoying the busy and joyful night view of the city.
The city where Bai Jiao is located is a small coastal city called Hedao City, with a population of only 4 million, benefiting from tourism and port resources, it has become the leading tourist and trade city in China, and its per capita economic level has been ranked among the top in the country.
However, it is also because of the small population, and there is a big gap between the total economic volume and the two neighboring cities. This allows the people who live here to have both big city consumption and small city life.
Two completely different forms are intertwined and constructed into a unique charm. Many tourists from other places commented that the life of Hedao people is that the rich are idle. Maybe that's the case.
Bai Yao swallowed the last corn flakes, clapped his hands, and shook the crumbs to the ground. Originally, this food was mostly served for breakfast, but for him, he had no intention of following this rule from the beginning.
After sitting for too long, his lower back muscles were extremely tense, and he finally chose to stand up and play with his phone on the windowsill.
It's not so much a game as it is a matter of pretending to be playing while sorting out the information that has already been confirmed.
"There are hidden rules in the game that aren't stated on the cards." This can be affirmed after the first use of the ability. Although it is handsome to leave a card representing the identity of a mouse at the scene of the crime, it actually brings a lot of danger to Bai Yao.
"By the way, who is the creator of the card?"
The rules of the game, which are full of bad taste, cannot but make people doubt the motives of the creators.
"Is it really just for fun? I don't think you really think of yourself as a god. Although Bai Yao doesn't like the feeling of being toyed with, he also has to admit that the guy who can give the card real ability is something beyond the rules of nature.
However, Bai Jin was not prepared to sit still, and after learning that the game had hidden rules, he began his own experiments.
"Since you don't say it, then I'll find out on my own."
The day after gaining the ability, Bai Jin made a wish to get a dragon egg, and in order to increase the sense of realism, Bai Jin even went online to check the pictures of various dragon eggs. It turned out to be a failure.
There is no way to steal something that is not available in reality, and after this natural thing is confirmed, Bai Yu made another wish on the third day, hoping to get the internal investigation report of the police on the "theft of famous paintings".
Although it is certain that this thing exists, because Bai Yao has no specific concept of what he wants, he still ends in failure.
Then Bai Jin once wondered if it was to verify the rules mentioned in the rules, what kind of punishment would be received for failing to steal for three consecutive days, considering that it was quite unwise to suffer unexpected damage at the beginning of the game, and finally chose to steal a bag of corn chips that can be found everywhere in the supermarket.
Because the value of this item is relatively low, even if the rat's card is found at the scene, it will be considered a prank. The reality is indeed as Bai Yao expected, the owner did not call the police because of a pack of corn chips.
On the fifth day, Bai Jin tries to steal his own things.
"If it succeeds, it's a game bug."
Stealing your own stuff means that outsiders will never find clues about rats again. This situation, the creators apparently also thought of it.
On the sixth day, Bai Yao took something that did not belong to him and made a wish in his heart to steal it. Maybe this situation is not considered stealing, maybe it is some other reason, and the result is still failure.
Today is the seventh day of gaining abilities, and Bai Jin hasn't thought about how to use his abilities.
Suddenly, a hurried knock on the door pulled Bai Yu back to reality.
The sudden sound startled him, and his body reflexively shook, and the phone slipped off the windowsill.
I saw that the bright light of the screen was getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared completely with a crisp "click".
But at this moment, Bai Jin was not worried about the safety of the mobile phone, his gaze stayed on the door for a moment, and then moved to another wall.
It was a very ordinary white wall, and it looked a little yellow because it hadn't been repainted for a long time. Not ordinary, it was an object wrapped in gray cloth against the wall.
Inside the cloth is a poplar board, and the wood board is stained with the pigments that have gone through a very long time, and it is those pigments that make this ordinary wooden board worth more than 5 billion yuan.
"Is it the police?" It is understandable that Bai Jin would have such thoughts, because in reality he does not have any friends and has no contact with his neighbors, and it is a rather foreign experience for him to have someone knock on his door.
It doesn't matter who is outside the door, considering that there is something in the room that no one else can see, it will be quite bad to open the door at this time. Even if you know someone you know, if the other party asks to come in and sit down, whether you agree or disagree, it will have unpredictable consequences.
Bai Yao began to regret a little that he didn't hide the famous painting in the first place - he was so alone that he didn't consider the possibility of someone else coming to the house.
The lights in the house are on, I'm afraid there is no way to pretend that I am not at home, and I have been lying on the balcony for a while, and it is not surprising that I was seen by anyone during this period.
"If it's a police officer and you don't respond, the other party will break in." In order to prevent such a thing from happening, Bai Yao asked at the door:
"Who is it?"
"Mr. Bai, it's me. Please open the door. ”
It was the voice of the landlord.
"Excuse me, Mr. landlord, I'm taking a shower, is there anything you can say tomorrow?" Although it wasn't the police who made Bai Jin breathe a sigh of relief, the idea of not wanting the other party to enter the door still didn't change.
"Ah, it's okay, I'll just say it at the door. My son is getting married, and we want to redecorate this house and make it a new house for our children. You see......"
"Okay, I see. I'll go find a house tomorrow and move out as soon as possible. Bai Jin didn't want to entangle with the landlord too much, although the move itself was also very irritating, but the most important thing now was to let the other party leave quickly.
"Thank you very much Mr. Bai for your understanding, I will definitely invite you to have a glass of wedding wine when I find time."
Receiving a satisfactory answer, the landlord left happily.
Bai Yao thoughtfully stroked the gray cloth wrapped in the famous painting—only when he got closer could he realize that the so-called gray cloth was actually a gray sheet.
"If you want to move, this thing is really troublesome! It's a good idea to have a new home with space to store bulky items. ”
Thinking that I had to look at the property online, I realized that my phone had fallen from the windowsill to the downstairs.
"It's really a disaster, in that case, let's use my ability to steal a mobile phone today."
I wanted to ask for the latest style of smartphone, and in the blink of an eye, the phone appeared in Bai Jin's hand.
But unlike what I imagined, although the phone stolen this time can also be called new, it has obviously been used, and the woman around 25 years old on the screensaver should be its owner.
Bai Jin didn't want a second-hand mobile phone in his heart, but he only asked for the latest model when he used his ability, and did not add a new word, and now his frustration is useless.
The girl on the screensaver wears not too much makeup, and smiles lightly at the camera, her undyed hair falling down her goose-egg-smooth cheeks to her shoulders, perhaps because the nutrients are not enough to moisturize each strand of hair, which takes on a slight yellow color in the sun.
Judging from the appearance alone, it happens to be the type that Bai Yao likes.
Because of this, Bai Jin stayed on the screensaver for a few more minutes.
But in just a few minutes, something unexpected happened.
The icon representing GPS positioning at the top of the mobile phone screen lit up, which made Bai Jin's heart skip a bad premonition, and then lifted the heavy object as quickly as possible to completely smash the mobile phone.
He didn't know that because he looked at the photos on his phone a few more times, his fate was pressed the fast-forward button.
