『Volume 2: The Golden Volume』 "Xia Kexing" Chapter 24 Black Bat Wayne
Just as Wen Yong reprimanded Zhuang Ding, a black figure floated over like a ghost.
Black shadows walk through various shadows such as corners and shades of trees, and their bodies are strange and ethereal, even if someone sees them inadvertently, they will only think they are dazzled.
Wen Yong's whole team moved forward, a black shadow like a tail behind him, and no one in the patrol was aware of his presence. If the black shadow makes a move at this time, it is very likely that Wen Yong's team will be killed one by one silently. However, the black shadow did not move, and only followed silently, as if he was also a member of the patrol team, and was making routine patrols in the Wen Mansion.
Junan Villa is built according to the mountain, the whole villa covers a huge area, if you patrol a circle normally, it will take about an hour and a half. However, Wen Yong is a key patrol tonight, so it only takes more than half an hour. This time, the focus is on the tallest building in Junan Villa, the Star Picking Tower.
Pick the star building, seven floors high, the appearance is majestic and exquisite, carved beams and painted walls, ingenious workmanship. Ascending to the top floor of this building, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Wenfu.
At this time, it was dark inside and outside the building. But if you look closer, there are two essences looming in the darkness on the rooftop, and they are a pair of bright eyes.
Suddenly, there was a gleam in those eyes!
You patrol behind the patrol team, and the patrol man is watching you from upstairs. Shadows obscure your whereabouts, and you obscure the good dreams of others.
The man who had been disturbed by his good dreams and could only stay on the star-picking tower narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous smile flashed in his eyes.
Wen Yong, who lights the lantern and patrols, is not the protagonist, and the protagonists of tonight are hidden in the dark.
A piece of information about Wayne came to the man's mind.
【Wayne】
Gender: Male;
Age: more than 30;
Occupation: Thief;
Origin: Ominous;
Mentorship: Ominous;
People give nicknames: Black Bat.
As the world's number one thief, Wayne's background has always been a mystery, but he has a resounding nickname - the Black Bat. Once upon a time, a respected predecessor once said: A person's name may be wrong, but the nickname will never be wrong. Because the name is given by the father and mother when the child is born, it is hope, but the nickname is earned by people when they are roaming the rivers and lakes, and it is about skills.
On the rivers and lakes, Wayne is not the first to have the word "bat" in his nickname. In the past, there have been famous people such as "Blue Winged Bat King" and "Batman". The term "black bat" is a simple name that expresses many meanings. Just like the person who once had the word "bat", Wayne the black bat also has a strong reflex and night-time ability. And the most critical and indispensable ability is super light power.
The man on the star-picking tower stared at the thin and indistinguishable black shadow without blinking, and a deep smile appeared on his face: Even if you are extremely light, since you dare to sneak into the Wen Mansion, then please enter the urn.
Approaching midnight, Wen Yong led the Zhuang Ding to carefully inspect the vicinity of the Star Picking Tower, and there were no suspicious findings. Black Bat Wayne also followed Yu Hou to patrol and gained a lot.
When Wen Yong made his second patrol and passed through a certain courtyard again, Wayne, the black bat who was following the team, turned over and lightly flashed into the shadows under the courtyard wall.
Wen Yong's patrol gradually moved away. Wayne, the black bat in the shadows, remained motionless, as if he had dissolved into a part of the shadows.
Tonight is the third time that the black bat Wayne has infiltrated Junan Villa. For a person like him who has the title of "the world's first thief", it is enough to visit a mountain villa once, but this Junan mountain villa has allowed him to explore three times.
It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Ju Nan Wen Mansion is a thief nemesis. Since the day of the establishment of Junan Villa, there have been rumors on the rivers and lakes that the owner of the village, Wen Lingye, has a secret treasure. In the more than ten years since the establishment of the village, there have been countless thieves from all walks of life, but so far no one has succeeded. In addition to the fact that the secret treasure of Junan Villa has become more and more conclusive, the Wen Mansion of Junan has also become more and more mysterious.
Black Bat Wayne is so cautious, not only because Ju Nan Wen Mansion is a thief nemesis, but more importantly, this time he infiltrated Ju Nan Wen Mansion is not a simple theft, but a sect mission.
No one expected that Wayne, the world's number one thief who had always walked alone, had already been absorbed into a mysterious sect. This mission requires him to obtain the Wen family's secret treasure, and he must not lose it. He knows the rules of the sect very well, and if he doesn't succeed, he will become benevolent. So even he needs to be careful.
When he first inspected Junan Villa, Wayne the black bat "accidentally" attracted the attention of Zhuang Ding, intending to explore the depth of the village. The Zhuangding quickly closed and were well-trained, but in the eyes of the Black Bat Wayne, it was nothing more than that. These encirclement tactics may be effective for ordinary masters, but for a top light skill master like him, no matter how many Zhuang Ding are not worth mentioning.
On the second inspection, the black bat Wayne revealed his true kung fu. Under his proud light skills, entering the Wen Mansion is like entering a no-man's land. Just as he was secretly complacent, a woman standing on the roof caught his eye. It wasn't just the woman's stunning face that attracted him, but her cold, arrogant, painful and fragile look. The woman was so pitiful that he forgot the mission of his trip, approached unconsciously, and revealed his form. Therefore, he almost suffered a big loss under Wen Haowu's Frost Sky Sword. Although his light skills are masterful, Wen Haowu's invisible sword qi is stronger and faster than him.
However, the second investigation also made a discovery. With Wen Haowu's identity, he will definitely not appear in vain, judging from the scope of his protection, this courtyard is obviously the focus of his defense. When he first infiltrated, he intuitively felt that there must be something strange about this courtyard, and Wen Haowu's appearance illustrated this.
Tonight, it's the third indive of the black bat Wayne. After following the Zhuang Ding around the house, he noticed something unusual about this courtyard. There is not a single green tree within a few hundred meters of the outer perimeter of the courtyard, not even a small bush that is often used for decoration. This is completely inconsistent with the elegant layout of the Wen House. The most peculiar thing is that the normal courtyard should be surrounded by a wall, and in addition to the courtyard wall, there is also a circle of low houses built along the wall.
Wayne's eyes flashed with pride and rebelliousness: tonight, he wants to dispel the rumors that Ju Nanwen Mansion is a thief's nemesis. He, the black bat Wayne, will become the first person to successfully steal treasures from the Wen Mansion and become famous all over the world.
Quietly picking up the courtyard wall, the black bat Wayne became more and more cautious, and this mission of the sect did not allow him to miss again.
The first rule of the thief's code: If you are cautious, you will succeed, and if you are rash, you will lose.
Success is the result of 10,000 careful accumulations. However, it only takes one carelessness to lose the whole game.
Scanning the surroundings vigilantly, the black bat Wayne was able to see it, and a pair of small eyes were immediately covered with a faint luster like a cat's eye.
The night faded under the glow of his eyes. The hidden sentry in the corner of the house, and the high-altitude sentry lying on the top of the lonely building, have been revealed.
"Night vision", this is another super ability of his "black bat" in addition to light skills.
A sneer hung on the corner of the black bat Wayne's mouth, unlike the swaggering patrols outside the courtyard, the loose defense here and the tight defense inside can only mean one thing, this courtyard is definitely weird.
The third watch was even more drummed, and a new patrol team was added to the courtyard, and the original patrol team was increased from six to eight.
Just as the newcomers joined the patrol, Wayne, the black bat who had been silent by the wall, moved.
What he had been waiting for was this momentary opportunity!
With the increase in patrol personnel, there will inevitably be a hint of psychological relaxation on the part of all those present. The two teams intersected, and the patrol and the high-altitude sentinel formed a straight line in the direction of Wayne, which was the blind spot of both sides at the moment.
Wayne the black bat quickly climbed over the low house, and suddenly floated forward, hanging upside down like a bat under the eaves. The patrolmen passed under him with knives, and none of them noticed the black bats that were no more than a foot above his head.
When the patrol was far away, Wayne the black bat quickly fled towards the tall building in the center with the help of various shadows. The bat is a nocturnal animal, and Wayne, the black bat in the dark, is like no one in a no-man's land even when he is interspersed with two patrols.
Seeing that he was about to approach the pavilion in the center, Wayne the black bat suddenly stopped and pressed his body against the corner.
There is a dark whistle!
He was alerted to the fact that the man was in a shadow in the corner of the low house. The man was so cleverly hidden, if it weren't for Wayne the Black Bat, who had been using "night vision" to investigate, he would have to go all the way to the man to find him.
The location of the outpost is the only way to get to the central pavilion, and its clever way of hiding is by no means comparable to that of the mediocre patrolling in groups. The Black Bat Wayne's competitive spirit was suddenly aroused. He has received a tip-off that Wen Haowu is in retreat tonight for tomorrow's competition. In this Wen family, except for Wen Haowu, he really doesn't care about other people.
However, he did not rush to attack, but searched for a way out first.
Becoming the world's number one thief is no accident for Black Bat Wayne.
The second rule of the thieves: think before you advance, think about retreating.
No amount of caution can be called superfluous for a thief. Thieves who know when to retreat will survive before the crisis comes.
Although the black bat Wayne was confident of success, he had to prepare for a retreat first. He cautiously looked around, and with his rich experience in actual combat, he searched for at least two or more ways to retreat.
Just as he was surveying the way out, he suddenly noticed a faint light flickering behind the dark whistle that was directly opposite him. He stared, his pupils shrinking.
At the bottom of the tree diagonally, there is also a dark sentry. It's a chain of dark whistles set up here!
This Junan Wen Mansion is really not simple. Wayne the Black Bat has completely gone to the heart of the enemy.
Then he began to wait, more patiently. He's waiting for a chance to get through the chain of dark whistles.
He wasn't in a hurry at all. Although the third watch has passed now, for a good thief, tonight is just the beginning, and he still has enough time to wait.
Rule 3 of the Thieves' Code: Be patient.
A thief who does not wait patiently can never be a real thief.
