Chapter 333: Chapter 333: Xiang Kun’s Little Experiment
Translator: 549690339
The tall and lanky young man stared at his loosely clenched fist. He distinctly remembered he picked up a crispy-skinned pig’s foot off the ground just moments ago. The feeling of getting hit in the head and the feel of it in his hand was fresh in his memory. How could it suddenly vanish?
“Are you still feeling the effects of last night’s drinks?” The middle-aged man furrowed his eyebrows and asked.
“No, wait a minute, clearly… What’s going on, eh?” The young man’s hand still maintained its clenched position. He inspected the ground where he picked up the pig’s foot earlier, looked around helplessly, his eyes reflecting both confusion and bewilderment.
“Stop having a fit, hurry up, finish offloading the car, then go soak your feet, take a nap, and we can go get wasted again in the evening.” The middle-aged man yawned and gave his young companion a kick.
The young man had to temporarily suppress his doubts and went into the cargo compartment to assist the middle-aged man in unloading the last electric bike.
But halfway through, he suddenly cried out, “Uncle, did…did you see that?” On the seat of the bike that just got unloaded, lay a surprisingly delicious-looking-yet-oddly-eerie crispy skinned pig’s foot.
The paunchy middle-aged man also looked at it, somewhat stupefied, because he’d seen it too, “Did you sneak this during lunch? Damn, it’s disgusting. You think this funny?”
“No! I didn’t hide it, someone flung it at my head just now! It’s this thing! Uncle, you see it too right?” The young man said somewhat excitedly.
From inside the warehouse emerged a dark-skinned man with a scar across his face. He looked somewhat menacing. Frowning, he said, “What the hell are you guys doing? It takes so long to unload a single bike, and all that fuss. Are you performing a stand-up comedy skit? Hurry!”
“Brother Ba, there’s a pig’s foot here, very strange! Someone used it to hit me! But… but…” The lanky young man quickly reported to the scar-faced man, but he was at a loss as to how to describe the weird incident just now.
“What pig’s foot?” Scar face asked, looking puzzled.
“Brother Ba, this kid is probably still drunk, found a pig’s foot and began to play…”
The middle-aged man was speaking and reached to pick up the pig’s foot from the bike’s seat. As he turned around, he was surprised to find that the pig’s foot was gone. He looked a bit stunned for a moment.
“It’s gone again! Uncle, Brother Ba, it’s really gone! The pig’s foot was just here and now it’s gone!! Uncle, you saw it too, didn’t you? You saw it too!!” The young man was so excited, he almost jumped up.
“Shut up!” Scarface slapped him on the back of the head, pushing him aside.
After examining the bike’s seat, Scarface gave his two partners a look and grumbled, “Stop screwing around, haul it in quickly. We have more work tonight.”
As the words left his mouth, the young man suddenly looked into the distance and yelled, “Brother Ba, over there, over there!”
Both the middle-aged man and scarface followed the sound and looked towards the warehouse door. At the junction of the roads, a dark object rolled out and fell in the middle of the road.
“It’s the pig’s foot, it’s definitely the pig’s foot, uncle, Brother Ba, don’t you see it?” The young man pointed at the dark object on the ground, speaking loudly as if to prove he wasn’t hallucinating.
This time not only him, both the scar-face man and the middle-aged man clearly saw the pig’s foot in the middle of the road. It seemed to have been thrown out from the side of the road junction.
Scarface looked slightly uncertain. The motorcycles and electric bikes they had previously stolen were directly sent to some underground modification plants where they stripped down the parts or handed them over to their regular dealers for modification and resale.
However, recently the Citong police have launched a special operation against criminal gangs involved in motorcycle and electric bike thefts and their sales channels. Therefore, they had nowhere to store the stolen electric bikes and had to temporarily store the new plunder in the abandoned warehouse of this abandoned factory.
At this point, naturally, they were worried about being noticed and discovered by the police, so they wanted to avoid any complications.
But on second thoughts, if the police or someone after them were involved, they wouldn’t go to the trouble of throwing out a pig’s foot.
So, with a narrowed gaze, Scarface walked over, opened the back door of the four-seater van, took a wrench, and strode towards the pig’s foot. The lanky young man and the plump middle-aged man followed closely behind.
After getting closer, Scarface took a few looks, then kicked the pig’s foot aside, increasing his pace and heading towards the corner of the street.
But when he reached the corner, there was not a soul in sight.
The lanky young man who followed him ran over to pick up the pig’s foot, yelling repeatedly, “We must keep an eye on it…”
Of course, the three men standing at the corner didn’t notice that while their attention was focused on the pig’s foot and they were walking towards it, a petite silhouette with a ponytail emerged from the narrow alley between the two buildings next to the warehouse. She lightly threw a handful of tungsten steel balls into the abandoned warehouse and also quickly went to the van and tossed a few balls into the compartment.
Then the figure hid back into the narrow alley beside the warehouse.
That figure, naturally, was Xia Libing.
After Xiang Kun briefly explained the plan to her, she immediately made her way to the side of this warehouse, then stealthily “co-manifested” a “crispy-skinned pig’s foot” half a meter above the lanky young man’s head.
As for the food that Libing can co-manifest, now she can’t let them deform like in dreams, nor can she move them across space for the time being.
However, these objects still possess some basic physical characteristics. So they will fall down as soon as they’re co-manifested in the air.
The pig’s foot that hit the lanky young man and the one that appeared on the electric bike seat were both by her. However, the one that appeared at the end of the road was co-manifested by Xiang Kun – it was beyond the range she could co-manifest.
According to the plan, after Xiang Kun lures them away with the pig’s foot, he would circle back, enter the “Super Sensory State” and wait for the three “car thieves” to fall for the trick.
