Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Arriving at Star City

“Going to Star City?” Xia Libing asked after Xiang Kun finished sending the voice message.

“Yes, that cat might be like ‘Golden Sparkles,’ it might be connected to the ‘Super sensory Item System.’ Of course, the specific form is very different, I need to make direct contact with the cat and check it out,” said Xiang Kun.

At present, although Little Fatty Girl, Xiao Pingguo, and Old Xia are all within his “Super sensory Item System,” they all use the “Super-connected Objects” and “Emotion Infused Objects” to utilize Xiang Kun’s abilities. In turn, they have “developed” all kinds of methods to help Xiang Kun enhance his understanding and application of abilities.

However, fundamentally, their connections with the “Super sensory Item System” are all different, and their ways of using abilities are also entirely different.

If it’s said that the three of them are operating three clients to connect to Xiang Kun, then the operating systems of these three are all entirely different.

However, without a doubt, the way that Little Fatty Girl connects is the closest to the basic application of the “Super-connected Objects,” and it also forms the most complete system – even though she might not completely understand what her system is.

“Am I going too?” Xia Libing asked again.

“Yes, you’re also going, you can take the opportunity to understand the way Xiao Lingdang applies the ‘Super sensory Item System.’ It might help you to better develop ‘Illusion Reality,’” said Xiang Kun. “I’ll book the tickets, you can catch up on some sleep, and I will wake you up when it’s time to leave.”

Xiang Kun and Xia Libing arrived at Star City at 2:30 in the afternoon.

After getting off the station, seeing that the taxi line was crowded, they directly took a bus.

After a few stops, Xiang Kun took Old Xia off the bus to switch buses.

While waiting for the next bus at the bus stop, Xia Libing suddenly turned her head to look at Xiang Kun next to her.

With Xiang Kun’s all-encompassing awareness of his surroundings, of course, he knew what Xia’s questioning gaze meant—she just saw a skinny young man quickly using a clip to snatch a phone from the pocket of a middle-aged man who was getting on the bus nearby. The job was over in the blink of an eye.

After getting the phone, the skinny young man and his accomplice, who initially pushed the middle-aged man onto the bus, immediately left the stream of people getting on the bus and turned to the side.

In today’s world where everyone rarely carries loads of cash, payments are made via mobile phones. Phones are held in their hands most of the time. Even if the phone is stolen, various system locks make it possible only to sell the parts. With real-name systems and surveillance cameras everywhere, pickpockets are finding it increasingly difficult to survive. It’s quite rare to witness a live theft.

Xiang Kun knows that Old Xia understands that his own ability to perceive is much stronger, so he must have noticed too.

So the question being asked by her gaze was whether he was going to do something about it.

Xiang Kun shook his head lightly at Old Xia, meaning that he would do nothing.

Old Xia didn’t say much, even though, according to her judgment, Xiang Kun, when faced with such a situation, would at least call the police. But she also knew that every one of Xiang Kun’s decisions had his reasons, and he probably already had a set plan of action.

Old Xia’s judgment was indeed correct. If it was a normal day and Xiang Kun encountered such an event, he would definitely try to stop it, secretly record a video and call the police, or at the very least yell “Phone theft” and run away, to warn the owner.

But he didn’t do anything now because he not only saw a pickpocket but also several plainclothes police hiding around the bus station.

Yes, this was not just a rare scene of theft, but also an even rarer case of the police closing in on the culprits.

Just one second after Xiang Kun shook his head lightly at Old Xia, several plainclothes policemen who had been watching for a long time immediately went into action. Including the two recently successful pickpockets, all three pickpockets lurking in this station were pressed down on the ground amidst shouts of “Police! Don’t move!”

Another female plainclothes officer stopped the bus that had just closed its door, telling the previous middle-aged victim that his phone had been stolen.

The people waiting for their bus at the station, as well as the passengers on the adjacent bus, all began to clap and cheer after a moment of initial shock and disbelief.

Especially the middle-aged man who had his phone stolen. He was extremely excited and wanted to shake the female officer’s hand, but he seemed a little embarrassed and instead forcefully hugged a chubby male officer next to her in gratitude. If he did lose the phone, not only the value of the phone itself, but the value of the data stored inside it, as well as the time and security costs of changing the phone, would be much more significant.

Seeing this situation, Xia Libing naturally understood why Xiang Kun shook his head.

However, at that time, Xiang Kun gently pulled at her sleeve and then stepped back a few steps, sitting on a bench that had been vacated because everyone had stood up to watch the show.

Seeing Xiang Kun sitting on the bench with his eyes closed as though he was in a state of trance, Xia Libing immediately understood that he was going to enter the “Super Sensory State”.

But why would he need to enter the “Super Sensory State” at this time?

A few seconds later, in the crowd of onlookers nearby, there was suddenly a mixture of cellphone ringtones.

It sounded like five or six cell phones ringing at the same time, but all the sounds were concentrated on one person.

All at once, the onlooker’s eyes were drawn to the source of the sound, which was a flustered man with a backpack. The ringing of the phones was coming from his bag.
