Chapter 58 The Thief

The black steel beast rushed in the flying snow.

In the only passenger compartment, eight law enforcers sat in their respective seats, perfectly recreating the scene when everyone just got on the bus.

"We are almost at Winter Harbor." No. 8 looked out the window and said calmly, "The first stage of the plan has been successfully completed. Next, it is the most critical link..."

The fire usurper No. 8 who replaced Jiang Qin seemed to be the leader of the eight people. As soon as he spoke, the people who were eating melon seeds and chatting suddenly quieted down.

Chen Ling, who had always pretended to be dozing, also slowly opened his eyes.

"In Winter Harbor, we will meet up with the new law enforcers from other regions and the three escort law enforcers from Aurora City. According to intelligence, one of these three law enforcers has five patterns and two have four patterns.

The gap between our strength and theirs is too big, so we must not confront them head-on. We must hide our identities. Before coming, I have given all of you a brief introduction to the character's personality and experience that each of you will replace. You must disguise yourself according to that and don't cause trouble. Do you understand?"

"What if other law enforcers take the initiative to provoke us?"

Chen Ling suddenly spoke.

"...We have to endure it." No. 8 paused for a moment, "This mission is crucial and can't go wrong."

Hearing this, the other Fire Usurpers were obviously a little unhappy, but finally nodded...

"No. 8, do we need to be so careful?" Zhong Yaoguang said in confusion, "Didn't they say that a Thief Saint will come this time to escort us?

The Thief Saint is a super strong man of the seventh level, and there are only five in the entire Fire Usurper... With him, what are those law enforcers?"

Chen Ling's heart sank.

Thief Saint? The seventh level?

Although Chen Ling didn't understand what the title of "Thief Saint" meant, he still understood the three words "seventh level"... People in the world say that the road to God is the tenth level to God, so this so-called "Thief Saint" is only three steps away from the position of God?

So far, the strongest owner of the Divine Way that Chen Ling has seen is Han Meng, who is only at the fourth level.

"Thief Saint? Really?!" Another usurper's eyes lit up, "Red, yellow, blue, white, and black, which one is coming?"

"【White】." No. 8 answered calmly, "Thief Saint, Bai Ye."

Chen Ling clearly felt that everyone's breathing became heavy, and when they heard this name, their eyes began to light up!

Chen Ling didn't understand, but immediately followed, with a look of longing in his eyes.

"With that person here! What are we afraid of! Isn't it better to just make a scene in the Bingdao Ancient Treasure?" Someone in the crowd spoke up.

"Making a scene in the ancient Bingdao Repository? What do you think Bingshendao is?" No. 8 glanced at him, "Among the fourteen Shintos in the world, the ancient Shinto Repository represented by the ultimate killing, do you think a thief saint can break into it?"

Everyone fell silent.

"No one in the world can force their way into the ancient Bingdao Repository. If you want the fragments of the foundation of Bingshendao, you can only take advantage of the loopholes in the Shinto Trial... Otherwise, what do you want us to do?

If something goes wrong before entering the ancient Bingdao Repository, such as the three leading law enforcement officers getting into trouble, then Aurora City will immediately close the ancient Bingdao Repository, and none of us can enter!

So, before entering the ancient repositories, you all have to be humble."

"...Understood."

"Usurping the way of heaven, seizing the universe, in the name of the end thief god [Silver King]...I hope everything goes well on this trip." No. 8 stood in the middle of the carriage, tapped his right fingertips on his forehead, and spoke devoutly.

At this moment, everyone's expressions became serious, as if they were completing a ritual of some kind of faith, and they also tapped their right hands on their eyebrows.

"In the name of the End Thief God [Silver King]... I hope everything goes well on this trip."

End Thief God, [Silver King]?

Chen Ling imitated everyone and memorized this name in his heart.

This sounds like the god that the Thief God Dao points to, and also like the belief of the Fire Usurpers.

Chen Ling sat in his seat, looking out the window at the port that was gradually approaching, and fell into deep thought...

Another Aurora City Law Enforcement Officer, and another Fire Usurper Thief Saint,

I don't know if the members sent by the Dusk Society to pick him up are reliable?

...

The train slowly stopped in the wilderness more than ten kilometers away from Winter Port.

This train was not recorded and it must not stop at the station. No. 8 found an abandoned factory warehouse to hide it, and then they walked over.

As everyone continued to approach Winter Port, there were more and more shops and pedestrians around, and there was finally some fireworks on the road.

"Hot fried dough sticks, tea eggs, baked sweet potatoes~"

"Tofu pudding, fresh tofu pudding!"

"Breaking news, breaking news from the Aurora Daily, Districts 5 and 6 suffered heavy damage after the disaster, and it is possible that two districts will merge, and the seven districts of Aurora will become six districts?

And the top scandal! The third young master of the Aurora City Star Chamber of Commerce married a famous prostitute, and after sleeping with her, he found that the other party was his long-lost aunt!"

"Little brother, give me a copy of the newspaper where the third young master slept with his aunt."

"Okay!"

"..."

The boy's clear voice echoed on the street, attracting a large number of passers-by to buy newspapers. Chen Ling saw that the ears of other usurpers also stood up, and they seemed to want to buy one.

"Don't make trouble." No. 8 glanced at them.

Everyone shrugged uninterested.

"Newspapers, magazines, toys, poker?" A lazy voice came from the side.

Chen Ling turned his head and saw a woman sitting lazily in a shabby grocery store, shouting and playing with a box of playing cards.

On the cover of the box, a [6 of Hearts] was clearly visible.

Chen Ling's heart moved, and then he looked at the people who were walking towards the port in a group. He did not stop, but lightly moved his eyes away and continued to move forward with the crowd.

The eight people crossed the street and went straight to the port. Many figures wearing law enforcement uniforms had gathered together, and three law enforcement officers wearing windbreakers were surrounded in the center.

Just as No. 8 said, on the hem of their windbreakers, one five-pattern and two four-pattern ones were clearly visible.

"Hello, I am Jiang Qin, the leader of the law enforcement team in District 3."

No. 8 stepped forward and spoke respectfully to the three law enforcement officers, while handing over several documents, "There are a total of 8 law enforcement officers from Districts 3, 5, and 6 participating in the Bingdao Ancient Tibetan Trial, all of whom are here."

A four-pattern law enforcement officer glanced at everyone, picked up the documents, and checked them carefully one by one.

When they joined the law enforcement officers, they all left photos at the headquarters. At this moment, the law enforcement officer was comparing the photos, asking one by one to compare, and his sharp eyes were like a knife scraping across everyone's face.

Finally, he nodded slightly and checked everyone's names on the list.

"By the way, how did you get here? The people from District 4 haven't arrived by train yet, how come you are here first?" The law enforcement officer suddenly spoke.

"We came here by yesterday's car." No. 8 smiled slightly, "They said they had never been to Winter Harbor, so we came a day in advance to take a look. Unexpectedly, we met friends from Districts 5 and 6 on the way."

"Yes, what a coincidence." Another law enforcer from District 5 nodded.

"Okay, then you can move around briefly now, and you can get on the boat when the people from District 4 arrive... Don't go too far, just 200 meters around here."

"Okay."

Hearing this, the other usurpers looked at each other and asked cautiously:

"Captain Jiang Qin, can we... go buy newspapers?"

"... Go ahead."

Several people turned around and left.

Chen Ling put his hands in his pockets and followed them silently.
