Chapter 86: Little thieves enter the house [Two-in-one]
"Hello, I have some rather special requirements."
As the transport of wind-type spirit power materials neared its end, Ge Bai walked down from the third-floor terrace.
Holding the attitude of "hitting a pole whether there are dates or not," she stopped the Spirit Plant Research Institute staff.
"I was thinking, since you often help various clients transport spirit power resources, I wanted to ask, are there any related methods to temporarily seal and store the resources?"
Ge Bai was prepared to walk on two legs.
On one hand, she was preparing to deal with the thieves targeting their resources once and for all; on the other hand, she also had to add a layer of insurance to these resources.
"Yes, several of my contracted Pet Beasts have related abilities. May I ask what your specific requirements are?"
The Spirit Plant Research Institute staff was indeed professional.
Ge Bai was overjoyed and hurriedly pulled him into the spirit power room to gesture.
This staff member understood and could do it, but looking at his expression, it was truly hard to understand.
"This, Ms. Ge Bai, are you sure?"
The staff member looked at Ge Bai as if looking at a mentally disabled person.
"Yes, I am sure. You just need to do as I say, sorry for the trouble!"
Ge Bai looked straight into the staff member's eyes, completely ignoring his expression, and said firmly to him.
Seeing Ge Bai insist, the staff member followed suit.
"Alright, after the resource transport is finished, I can get it done within 10 minutes."
Just treat it as a genius's eccentricity; ordinary people are always hard to understand, the staff member comforted himself well. ——That night, Ge Bai smiled and watched the Spirit Plant Research Institute staff leave the villa.
Before turning to enter the villa, she specifically went around to the brothers Xiong Dong and Xiong Xia, praised them a few times in a proper manner, and expressed gratitude for their hard work like a normal homeowner.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ge Bai returned to the villa.
Although the living items in the villa weren't very complete yet, as long as the requirements weren't high, it could be considered livable.
When dusk fell, the brothers Xiong Xia and Xiong Dong stopped their work, packed up their things, and left Villa No. 16.
Ge Bai didn't leave; she stayed in the bedroom for a while, pulled the curtains, and turned off the lights very early.
Subsequently, she dragged the quilt from the bed and huddled in a corner of the second-floor corridor.
This corner was carefully chosen by Ge Bai; she could observe all the doors and windows on the first floor and could also see the elevator and stair entrance to the basement.
Moreover, this corner was very hidden; once the lights were off, even if one looked up from the first floor, one wouldn't notice.
Not only did Ge Bai find a good position to wait.
Da Liu and Qian Dai were also in their respective positions, just waiting for the little thieves to come to the door.
Xiao Tao didn't come out to join the fun and was collected into the spirit awareness space by Ge Bai early on.
But before she returned to the spirit awareness space, she was also exhausted.
Not only did she give Da Liu and Qian Dai two Spirit-Restoring Peaches and one Spirit-Snatching Peach each, but she also forcibly stuffed one Spirit-Restoring Peach and one Spirit-Snatching Peach into Ge Bai's hands.
Even though Ge Bai smiled and refused, sincerely explaining that she didn't need them.
But Xiao Tao's little head shook like a rattle.
"Everyone has them, Bai Bai must have them too."
Watching Xiao Tao look at her firmly, Ge Bai could only carefully put away the two fruits. ——At night, dark clouds covered the bright moon, and it was pitch black.
Around 3 o'clock, the Shanpan Garden residential area in Jinggang City was quiet.
The brothers Xiong Dong and Xiong Xia really didn't let Ge Bai and the others wait in vain.
Having left less than a few hours ago, the two brothers had already changed into black tight-fitting clothes, put on black masks, and quickly moved toward Villa No. 16 along the residential area's monitoring blind spots they had long ago scouted.
Click.
Ge Bai, who was resting with her eyes closed, clearly heard the sound of the window lock on the first-floor backyard floor-to-ceiling window being flipped open.
They were here.
"The rats have entered the house."
Ge Bai transmitted to Da Liu and Qian Dai respectively.
At the same time, she took out her mobile terminal and sent the message she had long ago edited to Professor Luo Wan.
The content of the message wasn't long; it briefly stated what happened during the day and her guess, asking Professor Luo Wan to help her call the police.
Fearing that Professor Luo Wan wouldn't see the message, Ge Bai also made a call. After it connected, without waiting for Professor Luo Wan to speak, she hung up directly, then turned the mobile terminal to silent and stuffed it into her clothes pocket.
There was no time to say anything more; Ge Bai had already seen the figure by the window, short and fat, crouching and pushing the window to enter the house. ——On the other end of the phone, Professor Luo Wan was indeed woken up by Ge Bai's call. Looking at the time, he thought Ge Bai had some emergency and was preparing to call back when he saw the message Ge Bai sent.
When he saw the content of the message clearly, Professor Luo Wan jumped up from the bed.
A thief who is an 8th-level Transcendence Realm Beast Master must have more than one Eater Spirit Mouse.
Ge Bai was in danger.
Professor Luo Wan was anxious; he wanted to urge Ge Bai to hide far away, saying that preserving herself was more important than anything, and to wait for him to call people to solve it.
Resources weren't important! People couldn't have anything happen to them!
But when he called back, Ge Bai wouldn't answer no matter what.
Although Professor Luo Wan hadn't had much contact with Ge Bai, he always felt that this little girl, who looked proper and quiet, had great courage.
No, he had to ask the police to go over quickly.
Professor Luo Wan dialed the phone of an old friend at the police station while putting on his clothes. ——The brothers Xiong Xia and Xiong Dong could be considered cautious.
After Xiong Xia entered the house, he stood by the window and didn't rush to walk into the house, but took out the spirit power detection device and scanned it again.
Ge Bai had long guarded against this move and told Da Liu and Qian Dai to stay in the room on the second floor.
And Ge Bai herself held her breath and focused, staring closely at Xiong Xia's side.
Spirit awareness communication system, she didn't dare to slack off for a second.
Fortunately, the brothers' spirit power detection device was only portable; it couldn't detect the spirit power fluctuations of Beast Masters or Spirit Plant Masters, nor could it be turned on for long-term detection.
Xiong Xia confirmed that the house was indeed the same as during the day, with only Mortal Spirit Realm spirit power fluctuations, and quietly staying on the second floor, so he gave Xiong Dong a safe gesture.
Seeing his younger brother's signal, Xiong Dong, who was standing in the shadow of the courtyard wall, took the Eater Spirit Mouse and crept into the house.
After entering the house, the two moved much faster, heading straight for the basement stair entrance.
After all, when they were cleaning the windows during the day, they had already figured out the layout of the living room.
In the shadow of the second-floor corner.
Ge Bai watched the brothers head straight for the basement, narrowed her eyes slightly, and transmitted to Qian Dai.
"The rats are going downstairs, you get into position first."
"Rest assured!"
Qian Dai's transmission revealed irrepressible excitement.
With a space shift, Qian Dai appeared quietly in the basement, landing steadily in a spider plant pot hanging on the wall facing the spirit power room.
This spider plant pot was moved over by Ge Bai from the courtyard in front of everyone in the afternoon. Although it was a different variety from Qian Dai, it was lush. Qian Dai flashed into the spider plant pot, hiding in the heart of the spider plant flower, without any sense of incongruity.
The brothers Xiong Xia and Xiong Dong clearly knew that there was only Ge Bai in this villa, and Ge Bai only had Mortal Spirit Realm Pet Beast spirit power fluctuations around her.
Therefore, they didn't take them seriously at all, and certainly wouldn't waste effort distinguishing what kind of Pet Beasts they were.
Whether Ge Bai was a Beast Master or a Spirit Plant Master made little difference to them; in their consciousness, Mortal Spirit Realm, what difference could there be?
Qian Dai had just gotten into position when the brothers appeared from the stair corner.
"Squeak! Squeak squeak!"
The Eater Spirit Mouse, which had poked a small head out of Xiong Dong's pocket, squeaked excitedly at the door of the spirit power room.
"Big brother, this is it! The spirit power resources are all here."
Before Xiong Dong could speak, Xiong Xia was already excited.
"Don't talk nonsense, pry the door."
Xiong Dong calmly put down his backpack and carefully observed the door of the spirit power room.
This spirit power room was built by the villa's owner according to normal spirit power room standards, and the door adopted the same standard as a bank vault.
After all, under normal circumstances, a large amount of spirit power resources would be stored in the spirit power room, so one had to be careful, but this couldn't stump the brothers who made theft their profession.
Xiong Xia heard Xiong Dong's order to pry the door, but didn't take out any tools, instead outlining a summoning array out of thin air.
Immediately, the figure of a Nieman Jinheli solidified above the summoning array.
"Bucktooth, it's up to you, gnaw this door."
As soon as the beaver came out, it was impatiently hugged by Xiong Xia to the metal door of the spirit power room.
Xiong Xia even picked a suitable position for the beaver to bite, which was exactly the lock core of the door.
"Li!"
This beaver was chubby and fed on metal. Seeing the Beast Master's order, it didn't hesitate and started gnawing as soon as it opened its mouth.
Spirit power gathered on the buckteeth; one bite down, and the metal door was no harder than wood under its mouth.
"People have arrived, a beaver came out to pry the door, it's estimated it won't take 10 minutes to gnaw through the door, the Eater Spirit Mouse is squeaking on the side, there are no other Pet Beasts."
Qian Dai saw it clearly and transmitted the situation in the basement to Ge Bai and Da Liu.
The words weren't long, but all the necessary information was there.
Two people, two Pet Beasts.
Ge Bai didn't see the beaver and wasn't very clear about the beaver's skills, so she took out her mobile terminal, ignored Professor Luo Wan's dozen missed calls and text messages, and searched for beaver-type Pet Beasts that could gnaw metal.
She basically determined the species of the Nieman Jinheli; its attack skill was gnawing, which restrained metal-type creatures. But it was categorized in the auxiliary Pet Beast category, and its attack power wasn't strong.
Heh, these two people really treated theft as a lifelong career; the Pet Beasts they contracted were so useful as tools.
Ge Bai couldn't help but laugh.
"Da Liu, prepare the Storm Willow Blade Hammer. After Qian Dai teleports you to the scene, hit that tall, thin man first, don't show mercy."
After observing for an afternoon, Ge Bai found that Xiong Dong was the one who used his brain, so for the sake of safety, she prepared to solve him first upon entering.
"Qian Dai, leave the Qian Dai Sword for that fat man."
"If you have spare energy, then solve that beaver; you don't need to worry about the rat."
"Act as soon as the door opens."
Ge Bai gave instructions to the tree and the flower before clicking on Professor Luo Wan's message.
【Hide far away, don't be reckless!】 【Resources aren't important, pay attention to your safety, 8th-level Transcendence Realm is much higher than your current level, not so easy to deal with.】 【I'm already on the way, police detectives will arrive within 15 minutes.】 The last message was sent 4 minutes ago.
Ge Bai calculated the time.
Looking at it this way, the timing should be about right; it might just happen to catch them in the act.
Ge Bai thought about it and replied to Professor Luo Wan.
【Received, Professor Luo, rest assured, I'm fine, the two are prying the door of the spirit power room in the basement.】 【Currently, only two Pet Beasts have been summoned, one Eater Spirit Mouse, one should be a Nieman Jinheli, the beaver is gnawing the door.】 【Haven't seen a high-attack Pet Beast yet.】 Even though he was already sitting in a police car rushing to Shanpan Garden, only a few minutes away, Professor Luo Wan's heart was still in his throat, checking his mobile terminal every few seconds.
With a ding, Ge Bai's message popped up on the screen, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
But when he clicked on the message and saw the content clearly, he almost fainted.
What on earth is this girl doing! Didn't he tell her to hide far away?
Why is the message so clear? She knows what the two thieves are doing and what Pet Beasts they have.
She's squatting behind the two thieves watching live, right?! Professor Luo Wan was anxious and wished he could rush to Ge Bai now and drag her to a safe area.
But he wasn't anxious to the point of confusion; he immediately informed the police detective in the same car of the information Ge Bai sent.
At the same time, he urged them to be faster.
Hearing the information provided by Professor Luo Wan, Detective Haoke laughed twice, his large curly beard shaking along with it.
"Luo Wan, this little girl is something, the information is so clear, where is she squatting to watch? She's material for a detective!"
He didn't spare his praise for Ge Bai; if all parties involved had this level, then their work as detectives would be easy.
Hearing the praise, Professor Luo Wan didn't feel happy at all, his whole face stiff.
"You still have the heart to joke, drive the car faster, is the police station short of funds? Don't know how to equip you with better cars!"
Retorting to Haoke in a bad mood, Professor Luo Wan added solemnly.
"Let me tell you, Ge Bai is a rare genius Spirit Plant Master, don't you dare plot against her, it's impossible for her to work at the police station."
"What's wrong with plotting against her? I don't plot against ordinary people, what's our friendship, look at how stingy you are."
Detective Haoke didn't let Professor Luo Wan take advantage of him in words, but he stepped on the accelerator to the floor and picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Turn off the sirens and police lights, be nimble."
"The party involved is a treasure of the Spirit Plant Research Institute; if there's the slightest mishap, don't even think about Spirit Plant Master support for the whole line next year."
Detective Haoke and Professor Luo Wan were very familiar, partly because they often dealt with each other at work.
Infiltration, monitoring, investigation, all aspects of police work required deep participation from Spirit Plant Masters.
When the Spirit Plant Research Institute had the latest related achievements, they would also prioritize providing them to the police station, so the relationship between the two departments was very close.
10 minutes ago, Professor Luo Wan called Detective Haoke awake with one phone call.
Detective Haoke received the call, immediately launched the internal emergency filing procedure, brought a team of detectives, and rushed to Shanpan Garden without delay.
Shanpan Garden.
Villa No. 16.
Entrance to the spirit power room.
Click, click, click.
The sound wasn't loud, but it was rhythmic, and the speed was fast.
The beaver was about to gnaw through the thick alloy door. ===== CHAPTER 87 =====
