Chapter 20 The robbery under the shadow

Although Golden City is a self-made building complex built in the free zone, it is obviously carefully designed and full of the medieval antique atmosphere.

Li Wei wandered on the quaint stone road and even began to wonder if there was a real architect who had sneaked into the player group.

Li Wei checked the report on the theft while moving forward according to the map.

The report states several shops and workshops that have been stolen over the past few days. Judging from Li Wei's field inspection, these shops have common characteristics: these places are often places that are strongly related to production and production, and store many high-value items.

If it is just like this, it is easy to understand. After all, thieves often stare at wealthy places.But... Speaking of which, what is theft?

Li Wei knew very well that this was not a reality, but a virtual space of the online game "The Eyes of God".

Here, all players have their own portable storage space, called backpacks; in addition, there are warehouses with larger capacity, where players can open warehouses in certain prescribed areas for operation.

But no matter what, the game does not provide the stealing function, and the system does not allow players to operate other people's backpacks without permission.

So what happened to the theft case in Golden City?

Li Wei was confused now, and he didn't even know the thief's method. He could only learn from the stolen shop owner that the gold coins and materials suddenly disappeared from the warehouse.

Moreover, the store owner has carefully examined people with authority, and even those little brothers who helped have eliminated the suspicion.

Zane... You really gave me a big problem.

If there is no possibility of theft for normal game content, will it be a new bug?

A light flashed in Li Wei's mind.

Indeed, "The Eyes of God" is famous for its wide variety of bugs, but this is the first time I have seen this new bug after the Cataclysm, and... I'm afraid it cannot be fixed.

Li Wei, who was strolling on the street, thought hard, but still had no idea.

However, the whole day of investigation also gave her a simple understanding of the entire Golden City.

The most impressive thing is the price of Golden City.

The price of goods here is often two or three times that of outside, or even more expensive.

A string of zeros on the sign almost suffocated her, and relying on her existing assets would only make it difficult to move in the city.

However, ordinary residents of Golden City were very calm, as if the expensive price was nothing.

Are people here generally rich?

No...it should be said to be similar to inflation, right?

Prices are high, income is high... By the way, when it comes to income, the city defense team patrolling the streets is also quite exaggerated, and their salary is probably significantly higher than the average.

Most physics professions are full of heavy armor, and their weapons are also strengthened to a relatively high level. They look at it at first glance and are not at the same level as ordinary adventurers.

Didn't I expect that even the city defense team affiliated with Jianluo Xixia is so rich...

Tonight, I'm afraid I'm going to sleep on the street... The only hotels in the city have already offered 500 gold coins per night, which is not bad for the residents in the city, but it's too exaggerated for outsiders like Li Wei.

The Mingqi Grocery Store in front was the earliest stolen store.

Li Wei walked slowly towards him, pushed open the glass door, and entered the store to scan the goods placed in the display cabinet one by one.

Sure enough, high prices are well-deserved. Even an ordinary short knife has more than one hundred gold coins, and only people in the Golden City will feel it is acceptable.

While thinking, Li Wei routinely found the shop owner.

You are the owner Ah... I am the person who received a commission from the guild wizard Zane to investigate the theft. Please tell me in detail about the theft a few days ago...

The uncle in front of him is Mingqi, who is a middle-aged man with a round figure.He was stunned for a moment after hearing Li Wei's inquiry, and even his slightly opened mouth seemed to forget to close.

AhAh!You are Miss Wei Ah, I'm sorry for being a little distracted just now... As he said that, Uncle Mingqi slowly walked forward. Mingqi's grocery store was stolen about half a month ago, and we didn't find any suspicious people at all... I have also checked the clerks one by one. They really don't have the conditions to commit crimes, so they have been put on hold until now...

These situations are not the same as what the report says, but they are not of any help to theft.

Ah, is the situation on the scene? I'll take you there now, and there is no trace of destruction in the warehouse. If there were no records of entry and departure, I would even suspect that it was an insider who committed the crime...

An hour later, Li Wei walked out of Mingqi grocery store dejectedly.

Today's investigation can be described as having nothing. Whether it is the previous crime locations or the last one, there is no clue at all... No wonder the mage named Zane takes this case as a threshold. In Li Wei's opinion, this is almost impossible to solve.

Miss Wei, Ah... That, I've been busy for a day today, just to solve the theft case here... I'm really embarrassed, I hope I can do my best to thank you... Li Wei barely heard from Uncle Mingqi's stumbling words. He was planning to thank him, but is there really a need for a detective who has gained nothing?

Miss Wei, you don’t have to refuse.I heard that hotels in the city are asking for high prices, so how about staying overnight in our store tonight?There is a room available, and I can continue to investigate directly on site tomorrow morning...

Faced with Ming Qi's proposal, Li Wei couldn't help but hesitate.

Indeed, my financial status is not allowed to stay in a hotel, and I will sleep on the street tonight.

But there is a comfortable room in front of you, which can also facilitate the next day's investigation.

In a trance, there were some illusions that were about her in front of Li Wei.

Well... In this case, I will stay here for a night, which will bother you.In the end, it was a comfortable room that tempted Li Wei a little more.

……

Dinner took place in peace.

Since the Cataclysm, the concept of hunger that did not exist in the game has actually appeared on players, and all the people trapped in the game have personally felt this.

If you don’t take anything, your body will naturally become weak and weak, and your stomach will be cramped.

Gradually, people also found a way to deal with it. As long as they use the in-game alchemy system, they can process certain raw materials in a specific way and then they can make food.

Such perfect and convenient means even make people wonder if such a food system exists.

Miss Wei, although it may be a bit rude to ask this... But why did you come to Golden City in the first place?

Li Wei's thoughts turned back to the dining table, and in front of him, Uncle Mingqi, who was smiling, was looking forward to his answer.

Well... Actually, it was to report the situation to the Jianluo Xixia Guild. The fact that the Free Alliance forced others to be abducted as slaves was found cruel no matter how you look at it.

AhAh, is the ‘slave’ Ah…

Mingqi, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head again and said with a difficult look:

Miss Wei, maybe this is not appropriate... But if you regard "slavery" as your enemy, you may have to spend more energy than you imagined.Even in the Golden City, there are many supporters... As long as people gather together, there will inevitably be differences between upper and lower classes, which is just presented in the form of "slavery".

Anyway, I won't allow it anyway!Li Wei stuffed a piece of meat into anger and continued, "Besides, President Gu Yanri is clearly openly opposed to treating people as slaves, why do there still supporters appear in the Golden City?"

Don't think that the president's declaration is recognized by everyone.Although this kind of person does not have it on the surface, it is hard to say it secretly.I heard that there are still missing women living alone recently. I don’t know if it is related...

Li Wei was silent.

Indeed, such a big city may really be in secret about human trafficking.

But... even so, she couldn't accept it.

She knew that her two companions were suffering, and she must not turn a blind eye.

But the object of resistance was slavery, the behemoth itself. Thinking of this, Li Wei couldn't help but lower his head powerlessly.

The case must be investigated as soon as possible.Including her companions, countless women were treated as sex slaves.Li Wei never felt such an anxious impulse.

Uncle Mingqi, I have an idea about this theft case... We must find a way to lead out the thief, instead of passively searching at the crime scene...

oh?Ming Qi's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have become quite interested in Li Wei's plan.

The next morning, Mingqi and Li Wei were busy at the grocery store.The goods and gold coins were taken out from Mingqi's warehouse in physical form and piled up in an empty room.

The items in the game are originally stored in the backpack or warehouse in the form of data.

However, the catastrophe has made the items more widely used, just like a physical one.

The backpack and warehouse things can be used as usual, but they can also be taken out from the inside and interact directly in the game world outside.

For example, a sword can be stored in a backpack or equipped on himself, but Cataclysm provides an opportunity to interact with the environment. Players can even throw the sword on the ground, throw it out as a dart, or place it on the ground, even if it is used as a tent nail.

Items are no longer like they did in the past, and they will automatically return to the inventory after a certain period of time, and the concept of ownership has become blurred.

It's like...the whole game has become a sandbox.

This is the free room of the grocery store, but it is now used as a storage room.

According to Li Wei's investigation, several stolen stores have used normal storage methods, that is, the method of storing items in a data-based form like ordinary players.

If you do the opposite... you deliberately take out all the inventory and place it in the storage room in physical form, will the unknown thief have a chance to succeed?

Li Wei seemed to have noticed something vaguely.

The theft case is obviously done through some unknown means, and it is likely to be a exploitation of bugs inside the game.

If so, the thief must have a way to manipulate other people's backpacks or warehouses, and these commonly used storage spaces will no longer be safe.

If you completely abandon data-based storage and turn it into entity, it may have miraculous results.

There are not many shops in Golden City, and most of them have been stolen once.

If the thief still wants to obtain profits stably, he must re-choose from the shop that has been thieves.

Among them, Mingqi Grocery Store is a large piece of fat.

Okay, the next step is to wait for the rabbit.Uncle Mingqi wiped his sweat and stuffed his heavy body into a wooden chair.

This is the combat plan proposed by Li Wei: to concentrate all the assets belonging to Mingqi grocery store in one room, lure the thieves to come and take the opportunity to capture him in one fell swoop.

To this end, Li Wei specially requested assistance from the city defense forces, and several fully armed soldiers would also be stationed here.

Next, it is time to wait for the thieves to come.

But this period is far more difficult than before. It is not because of the investigation, but simply waiting in the room, which makes people unbearable.

As for the city defense forces, they are scattered in the surrounding blocks and are hiding, waiting for an opportunity to move.

However, it was said that he was waiting for the rabbit, but there was no situation for several consecutive days... During the day, the store opened as usual; at night, Uncle Mingqi and Li Wei were waiting in the storage room personally.

But until now, there has been no abnormality. Not only those city defense teams, but even Li Wei is anxious.

OK... We will also be stationed tonight, but if there is any situation, I will trouble you...

As he said that, the city defense captain holding a giant sword led the team to the bar on the other street with a smile.

Over the past few days, the successive garrison work has made them gradually lazy. After all, there are no signs of theft, and there are not even many small-scale fights around them.

Under such circumstances, the soldiers of the city defense team simply enjoyed themselves as usual, drinking in the bar every night, and they could not see the vigilance they had a few days ago.

Li Wei watched the city defense team go away with contempt. Now they are unreliable. The work in the storage room can only be done by himself and Uncle Mingqi.

Fortunately, nothing happened these days, but... if they continue to be lazy, it will be a matter of time before they can go wrong.

Ah, Miss Wei, we are also guarding the two of us tonight...

Uncle Mingqi touched his nose awkwardly and leaned against the usual chair.Outside the window, the gloomy sky was like a curtain covering the entire town, which was unsettling.

Is it a peaceful and futile day today for a long time?

Li Wei thought boredly.

Nowadays, no matter how anxious she is, she cannot advance the process of the case. Even if there are countless people enslaved by the Free Alliance, all she can do is heartache.

Bang!

There was a dull sound outside the storage room, followed by anxious shouts.

Who is it!Why suddenly break into this place!

Li Wei and Mingqi stood up suddenly and rushed out of the wooden door.

It seems that it was the yelling from the shop guy who stayed in the hall, and it is very likely that the thief showed up.

Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he slips away, he doesn’t know when it will be next time!

Li Wei took two steps at a time, jumping directly from the storage room to the hall, but only saw a black afterimage jumping out of the window.

What happened just now?

A man in black clothes broke in... The white-faced shop guy squeezed out a sentence, and before he could continue speaking, Mingqi jumped out of the broken window opening eagerly.

Since that person saw that the storage room was guarded, he quickly ran away, to a large extent, his identity could be confirmed.

It was precisely because of this that Uncle Mingqi jumped out anxiously and chased the thief. His round body swayed and ran in the alley, looking inexplicably funny.

Hello!Go to the tavern and call the city defense team!

Li Wei pulled over the shop clerk and shouted.She knew that those city defense soldiers who were keen on drinking all day were simply unreliable, but now they could provide a little manpower.

There were almost no pedestrians on the dark streets, only the roar of drunkards came from a few blocks in the distance.

After giving instructions to the man, the messy shop just now became quiet, and only a slight cold wind penetrated through the hole in the window, making Li Wei's mind calm.

Now, she has more than one curse equipment on her body, and her movement speed has been reduced, which is not appropriate to track thieves or inform them.

Don't forget that there are several metal rings that are forcibly locked on her clitoris and nipples; whenever she exercises vigorously, the bloody and erect flesh pellets that are rubbed with the fabric more easily, and the wonderful pleasure is enough to make her tremble all over.

From this point of view, guarding supplies in the store is the job that suits her.

Uh!

Li Wei, who was looking around, suddenly felt the side impact and lay on the wall.

The impact on her left arm forced her to try her best to maintain balance. Only then did she see clearly the big man who bumped into her.

It was a guy in an adventurer dressed in a vicious face, with a headscarf on his head and a scimitar in his hand, and rushed towards Li Wei with an expressionless face.

Li Wei's brain was running rapidly: Why could someone invade the store at this time?

Didn't you hear footsteps just now?

Wait, there is indeed a skill like silencing.

But what exactly is this big man planning to do?

The thief just now should be a slender guy, and it is obviously not in line with the big man in front of him...

In this case, is this a trap designed long ago?

Mingqi had already chased the thief and the shopkeeper could not call the city defense team immediately. She herself was unknowingly in an isolated situation.

Li Wei felt a chill in her heart. It seemed that the guess she was most reluctant to admit had become a reality.

The big man in front of him stretched out his big hand and grabbed Li Wei with all his strength.

The room next to it is the warehouse, where there are a large amount of supplies from Mingqi Grocery Store.

However, the great man did not show any interest in those things at all, but instead came straight towards Li Wei.

Could it be that his goal this time is himself?

Oops… Curse equipment’s suppression of combat capability is devastating.

There is no magical skills at all, and the physical skills are limited to less than one-tenth of them, and even the movement speed becomes very slow.

Li Wei has almost no capital to resist now. She tried her best to dodge and finally barely avoided the big man's huge hand.

Just the moment just now, Li Wei consumed almost all his muscle strength, but the big man turned around keenly and his strong arm actually grabbed her left wrist tightly, while Li Wei's thin and weak arm could not be broken at all.

open!Woo... Let go...

The strength of the big man's arm was far beyond Li Wei's imagination. He tripped under his feet and pressed the fallen Li Wei to the ground. Her other hand was also clamped and twisted behind her.

Even though she kicked and struggled desperately, her arms were still firmly bound behind her.

The big man rode in her back position, almost completely suppressing Li Wei to the ground.

Those big hands were like pliers, jamming Li Wei's arm tightly, making her unable to make any struggle.

As soon as he tightened his wrist, Li Wei could immediately tell the touch of the rope.

However, just because his wrist was tied up, Li Wei lost his fighting spirit.

Even she herself didn't understand why a rope could make the masochistic desire hidden in her heart burst out without reservation, causing her body to instantly enter a soft and estrus state, and even the white underwear under her shorts did not show water stains.

Ummmmm!Yes...

Li Wei finally remembered to shout for help, but the big man took out a piece of cloth and stuffed it into her mouth, then tied it around a few circles with a rope to prevent it from spitting out. Now Li Wei's arms were not only tied tightly, but also deprived of the right to ask for help.

Then there was the lower body, and the same rough rope gradually climbed up to the ankles, fixing her legs together.

Finally, Li Wei was firmly restrained all over. The big man gently picked her up and left the back door of the store and walked towards another alley.

Li Wei's heart was beating violently. Just as it was tied up, the heart was beating like an explosion, and the lower body was constantly oozing out of its vagina.

However, she also knew in her heart that not only the several metal rings on her clitoris and nipples were arousing desires at all times, but the desires in her heart pushed her into the fire pit.
