Chapter 303 The Thief
Master Sun was still breathing heavily, his chest heaving like a bellows, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
He gasped and said:
"Huh, huh! There's nothing I can do... I've racked my brains and used all my connections to retrieve this weapon. Look, my old bones are almost falling apart."
Master Sun wiped his forehead casually, and beads of sweat slowly slid down his wrinkled cheeks like pearls that had broken off a string.
"I really spent a lot of effort, searching almost every nook and cranny of this town, and finally found a clue. That night, when the sky was as dark as ink, someone saw an old man. The old man was skinny and as weak as a candle in the wind. His gray hair was particularly eye-catching in the dark night. As for his height and age, he is almost the same as me."
Mr. Sun turned his head and looked in the direction of his "foolish workshop", then said angrily:
"That person even exaggerated by saying that the old man sneaked out of my 'Workshop' in a sneaky way, and thought it was me, Master Sun! When I heard that, I was almost furious. Why would a normal person like me sneak into my own workshop in the middle of the night? Humph, humph! But having said that, although this clue is as vague as seeing flowers in the fog, it is at least a direction. I, Master Sun, must hold on to this line tightly and continue to investigate. I must get to the bottom of this matter clearly..."
Master Sun stopped talking, his chest still heaving and breathing heavily.
At this time, Qin Fu took the weapon out of the box lightly and handed it to Xu Wenting.
Xu Wenting took the whip, and instantly, an indescribable admiration flashed in her eyes.
She gently stroked every inch of the whip's texture, praising it in a soft voice:
"What a fine whip!"
Qin Fu then turned around and said gently to Master Sun, who was still gasping for breath:
"Don't worry, old man. Take a breath first and tell me slowly."
Master Sun took a deep breath and tried to adjust his breathing. When his breath was a little steady, he slowly spoke:
"I have spent a lot of effort these days to figure out the whereabouts of this old man. He is as cunning as an old fox. However, hard work pays off, and I finally got a clue... huh."
Master Sun took a deep breath, steadied his breathing, and then continued slowly:
"This old man just came to our Dream City recently, and he is also a pioneer."
When Wu Jinqiang heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he quickly asked:
"Then have you fought with him?" Upon hearing this, Master Sun waved his hands and shook his head like a rattle, and said anxiously:
"No, no, no! I never met him in the beginning, so how could I have the chance to fight him? The rules of Dream Fucheng are very strict. Everyone who enters the city must register with their real name, no one can be left out."
Having said this, Master Sun paused and continued:
"I followed the man's description and carefully searched through the registration information one by one. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. You don't know, the registration books were piled up like a mountain. I kept flipping through them until my eyes were almost dizzy. However, God helps those who work hard, and I finally found his registration information. Now that I have this valuable clue, I must catch this old fox!"
Xu Wenting became curious and asked:
"And where did you find any trace of him afterwards?"
Upon hearing this, Master Sun showed a strange expression on his face, as if he recalled something incredible. He slowly said:
"I also feel something is strange here. I was planning to go back to Earth to look for him. But just then, I actually saw him in Fumeng City. However, there were too many people and he disappeared in the blink of an eye. This is really unexpected for me. After stealing the weapons, he did not flee the city immediately, but stayed here. I wonder what his intention is."
Having said this, Master Sun looked around and saw that everyone was listening to him attentively, and no one raised any questions.
He paused and continued:
"I hid in an inconspicuous corner outside the city gate, waiting day and night, not daring to blink, waiting for him to fall into my trap. Those days were really tormenting, but I was determined to catch him. Just this morning, when it was just dawn, I recognized the old man at a glance. He was sneaking around, wrapping a box with a large piece of black cloth. The size and shape of the box were exactly the same as my stolen weapon box. My heart tightened, knowing that the opportunity had come.
He walked quickly, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was hiding something. I stared at him, thinking about how to catch him red-handed. When he was less than a hundred meters away from me, I suddenly kicked the ground and rushed out. I ran straight towards him, thinking in my heart, you can't get away this time! "
Master Sun took a deep breath and continued:
"Just when I was about to approach him and planned to surprise him, the old man seemed to have a pair of eyes on his back and instantly noticed my movements. He was startled and ran forward without saying a word. How could I let him escape so easily? I immediately started my pursuit. We started a thrilling chase in the desolate wilderness outside the city, one in front and one behind. It didn't take long for me to catch up with him, and then we wrestled with each other."
Master Sun suddenly stood up for a short moment and continued:
"I originally thought that since this old man is a pioneer, his supernatural powers must be extraordinary. If we really fought, it would definitely be a tough battle. But who would have thought that when we really fought, I defeated him easily. Although he is also a pioneer, when fighting with me, he did not show any supernatural power, as if he was just an ordinary person."
Wu Jinqiang was curious and asked:
"What then?"
Master Sun sighed and continued:
"The old man saw that he was no match for me, and in desperation, he threw his weapon far away. I rushed to retrieve the weapon. But at that moment, he saw an opportunity and suddenly rushed into the moving forest. After that, I couldn't track him down no matter what..."
At this point, Mr. Sun seemed a little depressed.
At this moment, Mo Yiyan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He frowned and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
