F-class thief? Sorry, I can steal anything.

Chapter 216: Encountering the Strongest Seed Team at the Start

twin?

What is all this?!

Zhao Hu: "..."

He felt that his brain was completely inadequate.

Zhao Hu looked at the face in front of him that was exactly the same as his own.

Listening to those distorted and misleading statements,

He felt that the worldview he had built up over the years was crumbling inch by inch.

This... actually works?

"What...what exactly do you want?"

Zhao Hu's voice even changed tone.

Although he subconsciously took a half step back, he did not think Chen Yifan was lying.

"Don't be nervous, Brother Zhao Hu." "Zhao Hu" showed a simple yet shrewd smile, his expression exactly like the real Zhao Hu.

"I'm protecting you, and I'm protecting our entire team."

As he spoke, he cautiously surveyed his surroundings, while quickly explaining:

"My identity card is 'Fugitive,' and yours is 'Hound.' We're natural enemies."

"We're on the same team, but we've been assigned opposing roles. Don't you think there's something wrong with that?"

"...Are you saying this is forcing us to kill each other?"

Zhao Hu's face instantly darkened.

Chen Yifan only needed to point out one thing, and he immediately understood the key to it.

This game specifies that teams of five should be formed, but it also issues opposing identity cards.

In addition, he received a hint when he arrived here.

Killing members of the opposing faction earns points, while members of the same faction cannot kill them.

This rule clearly encourages betrayal, encouraging teams to "sacrifice" teammates in the final moments for points.

From the very beginning, the foundation of trust was eroded.

"That's right, it's a trap!"

"so,"

Chen Yifan shrugged.

"Now, we're both 'hounds,' isn't this a perfect start?"

"But... what if we get caught?"

Zhao Hu still felt that this matter was too risky.

"Then let's see how our acting goes."

Chen Yifan patted him hard on the shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement that said, "I believe in you."

"From this moment on, you, Zhao Yifan, are my meticulous, timid, and cautious younger brother."

"And I, Zhao Hu, am your brave and fearless, but not-so-bright-headed older brother."

"Remember, keep your mouth shut, observe more, listen more, pay more attention... follow my instructions in all actions."

Zhao Hu looked at the "brother" with his face on top of him and listened to his self-righteous arrangements. His mouth opened and closed repeatedly, and finally he managed to squeeze out two words through his teeth.

"Fuck..."

He felt that this guy was seriously unreliable.

Just as he was about to object.

A soft metallic clanging sound came from the top of an abandoned building not far away.

The sound was extremely faint, yet like a needle, it instantly pierced the eerie atmosphere between the two.

"Someone's here!" Zhao Hu roared, his muscles tensing instantly, and his heavy shield instinctively rose to protect him.

Chen Yifan's gaze had already shot towards the source of the sound like a sharp arrow.

On the edge of the building's rooftop, a figure stood quietly.

It was a blonde woman wearing a black, tight-fitting combat suit, with an incredibly curvaceous figure that created a striking contrast with the surrounding ruins.

In her hand, she held a uniquely shaped sniper rifle, a wisp of smoke rising from its muzzle.

She didn't hide it.

She was using this method to declare her existence and ownership of this area.

"North American Chapter, 'Hawkeye' Caitlin." The information flashed through Chen Yifan's mind: "Thor's second-in-command, Lv.59 'Magic Shotgun'."

"Damn it, kill them at the door?" Zhao Hu's heart clenched suddenly.

To run into a championship favorite right from the start, their luck is simply off the charts.

Caitlin, on the rooftop, didn't seem to have any immediate intention of taking action.

She simply looked down at them, her gaze as if she were scrutinizing two hyenas who had inadvertently wandered into the lions' territory.

A moment later, a deep, metallic voice came from the communicator beside her.

Although the content was unclear from a distance, the domineering aura that commanded respect undoubtedly belonged to Thor.

After listening, Caitlin nodded, and then surprisingly put away her sniper rifle.

She gestured for the two people below to "come up".

"What do you mean?" Zhao Hu asked, looking completely confused.

"A trap." Chen Yifan's lips curled into a knowing smile, as if he had everything under control.

"No, it's about being granted amnesty."

"Offer amnesty?" Zhao Hu was even more bewildered. "They're so strong, why would they need to offer us amnesty?"

"Of course we need it."

Chen Yifan, pulling Zhao Hu who was still hesitating, actually swaggered towards the building.

"Because the more 'hounds' there are, the higher the chance of smelling the 'rabbit'."

"In their eyes, we are now two very useful local dogs."

Zhao Hu's face darkened upon hearing this analogy.

You're the one who's a dog!

The two quickly climbed to the rooftop of the building.

Thor was indeed there.

He sat like a god, imposingly on a tattered sofa that had been dragged out of the ruins.

At his feet lay several strangely shaped monster corpses, clearly spoils of war from the recent clearing of the area.

Upon seeing this, a barely perceptible glint flashed in Chen Yifan's eyes.

original……

There are monsters here too.

He didn't even notice.

Upon seeing the two approach, a barely perceptible hint of surprise flashed across Thor's deep blue eyes.

He didn't expect that these two newcomers would actually dare to come up like that.

His gaze swept back and forth between the faces of "Chen Yifan" and "Zhao Hu," finally settling on Chen Yifan.

"You're not that sharp-tongued kid from the entrance."

Thor's voice, like rolling thunder, carried a powerful sense of oppression: "State your name."

"Big brother! You have a good eye!"

Chen Yifan strode forward, gave Thor a thumbs-up, and his face was filled with an almost fawning, worshipful smile.

"My name is Zhao Hu! This is my long-lost younger brother, Zhao Yifan!"

He pulled the real Zhao Hu, whose expression had completely frozen, into his arms.

"My brother and I just got our ID cards and were teleported here! We were worried about not being able to find our organization when we saw our sister-in-law's... ah, I mean, this lady's signal flare!"

His overly familiar and unpretentious behavior immediately plunged the entire audience into a deathly silence.

Even Thor's perpetually frozen face showed a crack.

His teammates looked at this clown with the eyes of someone looking at a prehistoric creature.

Only Caitlin's sharp eyes held an even stronger sense of vigilance.

She always felt that something was off about the "Zhao Hu" in front of her, who seemed overly honest and simple.

"Identity card, produce it." Thor's voice turned cold.

He doesn't buy into that.

"Alright!" Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Yifan flipped his card over, revealing the blank back, and presented it with both hands.

At the same time, he elbowed Zhao Hu hard.

Startled by the poke, Zhao Hu quickly followed suit, frantically flipping over his [Hound] card and handing it over.

"Big brother, look, we're both 'hunting dogs'!" Chen Yifan said sincerely.

"One of our own, with impeccable revolutionary credentials!"

"Turn it over!"

Thor's orders are not to be questioned.

Zhao Hu's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

It’s over.

They messed up right from the start.

However, the next second, something happened that made his eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

Chen Yifan, without changing his expression, calmly turned his card over.

On the front of the card, against a blood-red background, two large characters are clearly printed.

【hound】

Zhao Hu: "???"

Isn't he... a fugitive?

What the hell is going on?!

"And you!"

Thor's gaze, like a tangible lightning bolt, fell upon Zhao Hu.

Seeing that Chen Yifan had already revealed his cards, while Zhao Hu remained motionless, a glint of lightning flashed in Thor's eyes.

"What? Yours is different?"

"How could that be..."

Before Zhao Hu could react, Chen Yifan reached out and flipped the card in his hand over.

【hound】

Two identical identity cards.

Thor looked at the two cards, his brows furrowing deeply.

An identity card can be considered an absolute secret, one's biggest trump card.

These two guys actually showed themselves off so readily?

Is he genuinely naive, or... is it a trap?

Just as Thor began to have doubts.

"Boss!" one of the men on guard suddenly shouted, pointing to the distant sky.

"Another new player has been teleported in!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up in unison.

At the other end of the city ruins, three blinding white lights shot into the sky one after another.
