Not a god

Chapter 72: The King of Thieves

After obtaining the Saint Thief's Order, Chen Xi went to Lao Rong Street and strolled around twice.

Nowadays, unless it is the first time for players to come to Linjia Town, they will not stay in Laorong Street, because Laorong Street is the lair of the daytime ghost, where there is little profit but much trouble.

With the blessing of the Hongmao body, no more daytime ghosts came to steal Chen Xi's things on the street.

But that didn't mean Chen Xi was invisible. He could still sense the disgusted and disdainful gazes from the evildoers on the street, just a little fainter than before.

Not only the daytime ghosts, but also the red-dressed women didn't come to solicit his customers, and the drug addicts didn't try to sell him the little white powder. It seemed that in their eyes, Chen Xi suddenly turned from a sucker into a dead poor ghost, and they subconsciously ignored his existence.

If they don't steal from him, then he will steal from them.

The peach thief opened his hand and walked around the street. The number of evil spirits on his body increased by more than fifty. He walked around again, and another fifty.

Chen Xi's consumption of evil souls is not large. It took him two days to consume his first evil soul. Up to now, it takes him six hours to consume one evil soul.

That is to say, four can be consumed a day, but this speed is the limit. It is almost impossible to go further. Chen Xi feels that he can go faster, but he feels that there is an untouchable shackle restricting himself.

Therefore, Chen Xi actually has no use for so many evil spirits, but he knows that these things can maintain their value and can be used for trading.

With the development of Dreamland, evil souls continued to flow into the market and gradually depreciated in value, from a peak of nearly three thousand yuan per piece at the beginning to a little over one thousand yuan now.

But even so, Chen Xi earned 10 yuan just by walking around like this.

Is there anything that can make money faster than this ability?
At this time, all the daytime ghosts on the street were confused. Who could have stolen from them?
And it wasn't just me who was robbed, everyone on the street was robbed!

Is this the opposite of Tiangang?
Chen Xi discovered that these daytime ghosts were stolen, but he did not suspect his fellow daytime ghosts.

Could it be that these daytime ghosts are also organized and disciplined?

He stood aside with his hands in his pockets, watching and learning about the social habits of the evil corpses.

I saw the daytime ghosts gathered together, not knowing what to do.

As they gathered together, the other evil creatures on the street avoided them.

The drug addicts ran away, the makeup girls closed their doors to visitors, and those strange-looking evil creatures fled like birds and beasts.

Chen Xi wanted to pull an evil ghost to ask him what was going on, but the evil ghost spat at him with a gloomy face.

"Get lost, don't get close to me!"

Hey, what the hell is this? Chen Xi took two evil souls from it.

Faintly, this group of daytime ghosts gathered together could be heard whispering something.

Listen carefully, the low murmur goes like this:
"Among the thirty-six people, only the good thief robbed the temple and ate in the east tower of the city;

Thieves in later generations worship him as their ancestor, and prepare wine and dried meat for him in the dark night.

I wish people would not close their doors, and take away all the gold, leaving only the green felt;
Every year, the priests fail to catch him, but the thief king is being pursued in heaven."

*
In the dreamland, Linjia Town, there is a large mansion with green tiles and white walls.

The house has flying eaves and winding paths. Dead leaves are blown onto the surface of the pond, disturbing the ripples, and fish sway in the water, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

In the Lin family mansion, two elderly men with white hair were playing chess.

"Dreams are getting closer and closer to reality."

"Yes, more and more humans have fallen asleep recently."

The old man with white beard frowned and said, "Human? My friend, why do you call your fellow soldiers like that?"

The old man in red robe didn't take it seriously and laughed twice: "Yuanrui, comrades? Humans won't recognize us living corpses as comrades."

The so-called living corpses are the evil corpses of human beings.

The old man with white beard wanted to say something else, but he just sighed.

When the general arrived at Linjia Town, he was supposed to kill the Unclean Cai Haitian. However, a villain plotted and stole the general's saber, which eventually resulted in the Unclean Cai Haitian being seriously injured but escaping with his life. The general was also injured in the process.

The villain who plotted this was none other than the old friend of Lin and Peng, the King of Thieves.

The King of Thieves stole the saber and killed the general. To avoid being hunted down by the dynasty, he abandoned his human identity, fell asleep, and turned into a living corpse.

In order to hunt down the Thief Saint King, Lin Yuanrui and Peng Mengsheng, along with their entire family, entered a dreamland and took root in the Linjia Town, just to kill the Thief Saint King and retrieve the saber.

In the past, Lin and Peng were full of vigor and vitality. They both responded to the king's orders and requested to arrest the Thief Saint King. They also guarded the seriously injured Unclean Wealth Skeleton Heaven and waited for the dynasty to send another Daluotian to completely kill Unclean Wealth Skeleton Heaven. Unexpectedly, as soon as they fell asleep, the earth and sky were connected, and the dreamland and the real world were separated. The Lin and Peng families were left in this dreamland forever, and the whole family turned into living horrors.

This went on for a thousand years.

The lives of their two kings are about to end, the Unclean Heaven of Wealth is about to be completely revived, and the King of Thieves is as cunning as a fox. They have wasted a thousand years here, let down the general, and even more so, they are ashamed of their people.

Whenever the two old men looked back on the past, they burst into tears.

But at this moment, a little boy ran into the courtyard, out of breath, "Ancestor Lin, Ancestor Peng, my second sister has sent a message that the daytime ghosts in the city have started to read "The Stealing Bible"! "The Stealing Bible"? Elders Lin and Peng were both stunned. It had been many years since the daytime ghosts read "The Stealing Bible", so why were they doing it this time?
You know, daytime ghosts, red-dressed girls, drug addicts, these weak evil creatures formed by the evil thoughts of the general public, if they want to survive, they need to find a backer.

The backer of the daytime ghosts is the Thief Saint King who has turned into a living corpse.

They would regularly offer tributes to the King of Thieves in the hope of his protection so that they would not be eaten by other powerful evil creatures.

Normally, ghosts would steal during the day and bring themselves to death, but the King of Thieves would not care.

If you are caught stealing, you can be beaten or killed. This is the rule of the King of Thieves.

If there are evil corpses or living corpses that provoke the daytime ghosts for no reason, they will gather together and call on the Thief Saint King.

If they were in the past, Elders Lin and Peng would definitely react and see if they could take down the Thief Saint King when he appeared. However, after a thousand years of struggle, the two elders were numb.

The Thief Saint King's ability was all about escaping. He was as slippery as a loach and could not be caught. As long as the two old men got a little close to him, he would disappear. He would pick up the bucket and run away at the slightest sign of trouble.

Moreover, four hundred years ago, the King of Thieves also found the King of Painted Skin and created some weird incarnation for him.

If I'm not mistaken, this group of daytime ghosts summoned the Saint Thief King only to send an incarnation, and no one knows where the real body is hidden.

Even though they knew they couldn't catch him, the two elders couldn't let the Thief Saint King do evil in Linjia Town. What's more, there was the seriously injured Unclean Wealth Corpse Heaven in Linjia Town. Who knew if the Thief Saint King was targeting Unclean Wealth Corpse Heaven, so the two elders decided to go anyway.

"All the evil spirits in the city know the rules of the Thief Saint King. Did the other creatures from the outside city provoke the daytime ghosts here?"

"The followers of the Thief Saint King are all over the world. As long as there are thieves in the world, there will be daytime ghosts in the dreamland. Logically, even people from the outer city should know the Thief Saint King."

"Could it be that it is a stranger who fell asleep recently?"

Peng Mengsheng shook his head: "I have seen those people. Their strength is comparable to that of the White Day Ghosts. They are all ordinary people. Not even a Hundred Riders. How can they have the ability to provoke the entire White Day Ghost group?"

"After all, the fusion of the real world and the dream world has just begun...he is here."

From across the distant horizon, the two elders could feel ripples in the sky above the city. The space seemed to be folded and twisted. A blurry figure hidden in the shadows flickered.

It turned out that what the Thief Saint King had brought was just an incarnation, probably only at the level of Jin Zigong, or even weaker than Jin Zigong.

However, the Grand Duke's clone, in which the two old men showed little interest, was enough to cause panic among the evil spirits in the city.

Not only the evil skeletons, but some players exploring the city also noticed that a shadow with a terrifying aura appeared above Lao Rong Street.

"What it is?"

"I heard that the White Day Ghosts on Lao Rong Street believe in the evil corpse of a man called the Saint Thief King."

"Laorong Street? That damn place, there's no treasure to be found, and things get stolen every day."

Recent explorations into Dreamland have shown that today's players only have a partial understanding of many things and have no concept of evil corpses and living corpses.

They only knew that it was the appearance of a royal decree!

All I heard was an unpleasant, weird laugh coming from the black shadow.

As soon as the King of Thieves appeared, he glanced down and figured out the ins and outs of these daytime ghosts calling him.

He looked at Chen Xi who was hiding himself in the corner with his feather body, and said in a loud voice: "Are you stealing the same divine life as me? Not bad, I will charge you some tuition today."

He stretched out his hand downwards, ready to search the little devil's body clean and then kill him.

Then, something strange happened.

The Thief King's face changed drastically and he fled away.

Between reincarnations, heading towards the sky.

Seeing this, the two elders Lin and Peng, who had not yet arrived, looked at each other in bewilderment.

They are still a long way away from each other. Has the King of Thieves become so timid now?
But they soon discovered that the Thief Saint King's clone was not avoiding them.

Suddenly, a golden light flew out from under Lao Rong Street and chased after the clone of the Thief Saint King.

The golden light grew in the wind and turned into a huge tiger-head guillotine in the blink of an eye!

What is that?

"you dare!"

The Thief Saint King was terrified and shouted angrily.

The guillotine has been released, so why should Chen Xi dare not do anything?

With a snap, the head fell to the ground!
