Chapter 325

Poor Ghost

Along with the subway entering the station, seeing that crowd squeezing full the carriage, Chen Ling discovered he was happy too early.

Even if he had three heads and six arms, as long as he couldn't fly, in this traffic-jammed city he would forever be unable to outrun the subway. And similarly riding the subway, were also thousands and tens of thousands of office workers and student groups... Along with the subway doors opening, Chen Ling tangled for a long time, still biting the bullet and squeezed on.

The subway rapidly travelled towards the direction of the airport. Chen Ling wearing a brown overcoat, stood amidst the crowd as steady as Mount Tai. Next what he had to consider, was exactly how to get a mobile phone on the road.

In this era without a mobile phone, doing anything was all considerably inconvenient. Let alone flight information and such, he even couldn't judge the time.

He could only freely move for 12 hours in the Save Point, must accurately control well every minute and every second.

Right when Chen Ling was pondering, his peripheral vision like discovering something... In the corner close to the subway doors, a figure stealthily stood there. Wearing black clothes wearing a mask. His gaze cautiously swept past the surroundings, like observing if there was anyone looking here.

Of course, to Chen Ling possessing [Secret Pupil], his actions in the crowd were truly too conspicuous. Chen Ling feigned looking towards other places, but actually took everything completely into his eyes.

Behind the railing the Man in Black leaned against, was exactly a white-collar worker tilting her head sleeping. After he looked around a circle confirming no one noticed, his hand quietly reached backwards, pinching out a mobile phone from the half-open bag, rapidly stuffing it into the inner pocket of his windbreaker.

That white-collar worker wasn't his only target. He consecutively stopped in front of two sleeping passengers, using the same method smoothly taking away mobile phones, and even wallets and card holders. Inside this crowded carriage, whoever was awake was all lowering their heads looking at their own mobile phones. Basically no one noticed his abnormality.

When he passed through the carriage, squeezing past Chen Ling's side, he even boldly reached his hand feeling a handful inside Chen Ling's pocket. After discovering it was empty without a single thing, turning his head glancing at Chen Ling with a weird expression, whispering in a low voice:

"...Motherfucker, bumped into a Poor Ghost."

Chen Ling: ...

[Audience Expectation Value +4]

Very good, Chen Ling already knew where to go to get a mobile phone... Not only that, even the problem of Expectation Value could also be solved in passing.

Chen Ling narrowed his eyes looking at the Man in Black shrunk in the corner. A smear of faint light flashed in his eyes. The next moment, a telephone ringtone with volume dialed to the highest suddenly sounded from his bosom!

"In the first lunar month~~ it's the new year ah~~~~ every family pastes spring couplets~~"

This sound instantly spread throughout the entire carriage. Everyone's gazes all looked towards the Man in Black in the corner. The latter's face instantly went deathly pale!

He hurriedly dug for something inside the pockets on his body. But because there were too many mobile phones, for a time he couldn't confirm which one was ringing. At the same time, the white-collar worker sleeping in the corner with a 'ceng' sound then woke up, blankly looking towards the corner. Seemingly surprised there actually was someone with the same ringtone taste as herself.

She subconsciously felt her hand towards her bag, suddenly blanking in place.

The Man in Black covered in sweat finally found the ringing mobile phone. But his finger pressed the button several times, yet bluntly couldn't hang it up. Closely following, more and more mobile phone ringtones sounded from his body!

"Your shallow smile is~~ like~~..."

"Di di du du di di du du..."

"Want to see you only want to see you~~ future past~~ I only want to see you~~..."

"..."

When five completely different mobile phone ringtones, sounded from the same person's body, the crowd then discovered something wasn't right.

The Man in Black himself was also dumbfounded. Doing this line of work for so long, he had never encountered such a bizarre situation... He who recovered his senses, turned his head wanting to run towards the carriage behind him, yet was tripped down to the ground on the spot by a foot extending out from the crowd.

"Catch the thief!!"

Several owners who lost things swarmed rushing up forward, surrounding him completely. This movement even more alarmed the staff on the subway, one after another rushing towards here.

After the crowd's you one word I one word accusations, the faces of the staff looking at the Man in Black were incomparably gloomy. They grabbed the Man in Black. Waiting until the subway arrived at the station then escorted him down to the platform. Genuine police had already been waiting for a long time.

"Open the clothes." A police officer sternly berated.

The Man in Black seemingly knew he couldn't escape this calamity today, despairingly opening the coat, revealing the stolen goods within.

His mask was also taken off. That was a face of vicissitudes, looking about forty or fifty years old. Eyes full of blood streaks, hair also fallen out almost entirely.

"This is my mobile phone!"

"This is mine!"

"Motherfucker, damn thief... Comrade police, please you guys must strictly punish!"

Watching helplessly as the mobile phones were taken away by the owners one by one, the Man in Black didn't dare to raise his head. At the same time, a police officer coldly looked at him:

"Identity card."

"...No, don't have."

"Don't have?"

"Comrade police, it's like this... I gambled and lost money at the Casino in Las Vegas, everything was all confiscated away... This is me not easily finding connections to escape back. If it wasn't having no way out, I also wouldn't go as far as stealing mobile phones here..."

The Man in Black bitterly spoke. At this moment on the ground only remained his own old-style flip phone. That was what he bought from a street stall spending two hundred bucks in Las Vegas.

The police officer glanced at him, "Make up, continue making up... haven't quite heard this version before."

"Everything I said is true... I escaped by the skin of my teeth back!"

"If you don't believe you can flip through my mobile phone, I secretly recorded a video inside that Casino! Other people all said my that video was photoshopped, but I truly didn't... That Casino is too bizarre, and also that boss, is basically a man-eating demon!!"

The Man in Black was just about to bend his waist to pick up the mobile phone. Right at this time, a young man draped in a brown overcoat walked up forward, picking up the flip phone one step earlier.

The Man in Black blanked out.

"Sorry, Comrade police." Chen Ling slightly smiled, "I came to take my mobile phone."

"???" The Man in Black hurled abuse, "What your mobile phone? This is my mobile phone! I bought it being scammed two hundred bucks at the border!"

A police officer walked forward, doubtfully asking Chen Ling:

"This is truly your mobile phone?"

"Yeah."

"Convenient to prove a bit?"

Chen Ling muttered to himself for a moment, lowering his head shouting a sound towards the flip phone: "Hey, Siri."

"I'm here."

[Audience Expectation Value +3]

Man in Black: ??????

The police officers were also dumbfounded. Growing up this big, they still had never seen this style of Apple mobile phone.

"No, not right... This mobile phone doesn't have a lock screen password, the wallpaper is a sports car, inside also has my call records! The most recent caller's name is called Brother Hu!" The Man in Black widened his eyes saying.

Chen Ling didn't open the flip cover, but rather with a face of innocence handed the mobile phone to the police officer. The latter after opening it, glanced at the Man in Black with a weird expression.

"I exactly said this mobile phone is mine right?!" The Man in Black looked at Chen Ling, angry to the point his teeth itched.

The police officer silently opened the flip cover.

Along with the screen lighting up, Chen Ling's cold selfie reflected into the Man in Black's eyes, even additionally posing a scissors hand.
