Section A, Chapter 43: The Thief (Vicor)
This shocking good news spread throughout Beihaiwang within half an hour, and the whole town rushed out of their homes to revel, in a state of extreme excitement.
At first glance, outsiders would think that there is some kind of carnival festival or cult gathering here. The whole town was getting high as if they were taking drugs en masse. Beihai Wangdu hasn't been like this for a long time.
After all, this can be regarded as a great victory and breakthrough...... If the news reaches the two cities, I'm afraid the carnival will be even more enthusiastic.
It just so happens that it's October 20th. Not long after, November 10 will be the biggest festival of the week in the Land of Permafrost: the Frost Festival. Anyone would be thrilled to make such a breakthrough with 19 days to go before this major festival. In fact, according to the calendar of the Permafrost Lands, the Frost Festival was supposed to fall on December 15. However, more and more foreign residents followed, and they followed the Eurasian Gregorian calendar.
Having just "escaped" from the crowded streets, Snow Crow felt a lightness all over: he couldn't believe he had done it!
In order to avoid being the focus of people's attention and living uncomfortably, Vicol, who doesn't care much about his personal reputation, specially asks Morse to hide his identity and prevent outsiders from knowing that he did it, just let everyone know that it was a snow crow who put forward the guess and put it into practice.
In this way, it will definitely create a more reliable image of the snow crow, and greatly enhance the status of Eternal Winter City in the hearts of the people! If you need to do anything later, it will be much more convenient to just name your identity and show your emblem.
However, the paper can't hold the fire, and it is estimated that it will have to leak the rumors...... Not accustomed to being the center of attention, Snow Crow recalled the feeling of being warmly watched by people after relieving the siege of the outpost that day, and still felt a little uncomfortable: I am not the kind of person who is very extroverted. I prefer solitude to socialization.
Maybe it's because I'm used to being a hunter, and I set the tone of my personality when I was a child. In the vast snow, it is rare to find someone to talk to. What's more, a good hunter must always be quiet and ready to go.
That's why I don't have many friends. It turned out that the sentry had never been in touch with his friends who were also hunters at all. After coming to Beihaiwang, I always feel that it is an attitude of escaping life.
To soothe his emotions, Vicol took out his pipe, struck a match and lit it. I took two puffs slowly. He was satisfied to get the keys.
...... Huh? Sticking into his pocket, Vicor, who was standing in front of the door, was stunned for a moment: this, this is ......
I forgot my keys?
Feeling that the good feelings he had accumulated before were all gone, Vicol touched the pocket of the money bag that only Odys had given, and finally felt a little comfort: It's okay, I didn't bring my wallet when I went out this morning.
It seems that someone rubbed me when I was groggy in the morning, and when I first went out, could it be that the key was lost at that time?
Forehead...... Just ...... When you go out.
Suddenly he felt a spear piercing his back, and Vicor felt like crying: it could not have found it. I just used the habit of hiding things yesterday, so I put it on the bedside table.
That's it, that's a lot of dollars! Half of my net worth is gone......
Why am I always unlucky?
Already on the verge of crying, the snow crow had to slowly paced to the edge of the window of his bedroom, leaning there in a daze: Beihai is worthy of being a port town, and it is completely mixed. Thieves are everywhere, but I don't have much sense of prevention.
He also said that he wanted to catch the thief who stole my wallet last time, but now even his own nest has been taken away!
Maybe I'll never be able to catch him for the rest of my life...... Yes!!!
Before the desperate Snow Raven could continue to think about it, a man suddenly jumped from the second-floor window and smashed the Snow Crow, who was smoking a pipe. After screaming a few times in the same pain, the snow crow got up angrily, and before he could say anything, he was scolded by the man: "Are you ****?!
"You're only ****, who has nothing to do to jump down from the second floor......" Originally, his voice was raised very high, but the snow crow was stunned in place after saying two words: the man was wearing a brown coat and carrying a large package. And the more you look at it, the more familiar it becomes...... For example, a thief who stole his wallet.
The most important thing is that he jumped from my house.
"Hey, stop me!" gritted his teeth and grabbed the man, Vicol saw that he still wanted to leave, and yelled angrily: "Damn, what a coincidence...... You stole my wallet two days ago, and you got the key this morning!
"Are you sick?" the man glared at the snow crow, not panicking at all. Standing up and patting his buttocks, he was about to leave: "I haven't seen you before." ”
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly pulled up his legs and began to run wildly. The lack of reaction in an instant caused the snow crow to be thrown several meters at the start. Loudly scolding the second of the dead family, Vicor accelerated with all his strength and rushed towards the thief.
The thieves made a beef-up of the harbor through the hidden paths next to the warehouses and the tall dock library, and at breakneck speeds. It seemed that he wanted to use his familiarity with the terrain to run at full speed at the beginning and get rid of Vicol as quickly as possible.
Even though the man rushed into the crowd on the street, Vicol pushed away the pedestrian and drew closer and closer. Although the man ran fast enough to take the lead, the package on his back obviously slowed down his speed. Finally, amid the theatrical applause and the hype for the sale of swimsuits, the snow crow threw him to the ground and threw his fist in the face.
With a rattle, the bridge of the thief's nose seemed to be crooked. Although he hesitated for a moment to make a big move, the snow crow finally threw a second punch angrily, roaring and smashing down.
"Don't! Don't fight!" Just after receiving another punch, the man immediately couldn't hold back and begged for mercy loudly: "I admit it! I admit that I did it, can't I?!"
"Why the did you go there earlier?Now you know it hurts?!" Vicol was angry at the thought that he had stumbled and stolen his wallet by this kind of goods: "The wallet that was stolen a few days ago will be handed over immediately!"
Damn, that's all there is to it, I begged for mercy when I was beaten and didn't fight back, how could I just let you go?
A person like this must be taught a hard lesson, otherwise he will definitely not repent of committing it again in the future! Thinking like this, Vicol avoided the vital position and punched the man again. The people around him applauded, but no one rushed to intervene - the thief had always been hated by everyone, how could anyone help him.
"Here, here you go!" immediately ripped off a cloth bag from his waist, and the man threw down the big bag behind his back, and hurriedly got up and wanted to leave. However, Vicol immediately reached out and grabbed the man, and shouted in dissatisfaction: "Where are you going?!
