Chapter 16: Because of acceptance, the Dragonborn pulled out a joyful...
Hearing this noise.
"Um?"
Yu Xiao immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of the gate.
Although the sound was very faint, and could not be detected at all if one did not listen carefully, how could it escape the notice of Yu Xiao, who was now enhanced in all aspects?
Was it premeditated? Or just a coincidence?
Looking at the door lock that had become still again, Yu Xiao stroked his chin.
If it's the latter, then it's fine, just do what you need to do.
If it was premeditated...
Xia Qinglan told me that the matter concerning the dragon egg would be kept absolutely secret.
"Could it be that one of the researchers inside leaked the information?"
Thinking of this, Yu Xiao's gaze shifted.
The next second, Yu Xiao walked towards the light button.
...
With all the lights on Yu Xiaoguan illuminated, he found a place to hide.
"Crunch—"
The door was pushed open.
"People who can afford to live here must be rich, right?"
A tall, strong, middle-aged man with a thick beard walked in.
Jiang Dexiang's identity is something that cannot be made public.
As a seasoned thief, he knew exactly which households were wealthy and which were easy to rob.
For example, Jiang Dexiang noticed Yu Xiao as soon as he entered the Guanhaiyuan residential area.
Guanhaiyuan Community isn't exactly a top-tier location, but even with the current climate of plummeting property prices, the houses here still fetch over 400 million yuan.
A young man checking in alone with his suitcase made it hard for Jiang Dexiang not to think twice.
"And judging from the young man's appearance, he should have graduated from university not long ago."
"College students at this age are often the easiest to deal with, and having not experienced the harsh realities of society, their vigilance is also the lowest..."
While stroking his chin in thought, Jiang Dexiang turned his head to look around.
After watching for several dozen seconds and adjusting to the darkness of the room,
"What a fool! Does he think turning off the lights will stop me? Or does turning off the lights mean someone will scare me away?"
With a sneer, Jiang Dexiang walked towards the living room.
For some novice thieves, turning off the lights is indeed a good idea.
But for a veteran, that's exactly what they do. Turning off the lights is useless; it just tells them you're scared. [Don't ask the author how they know!]
Step into the living room.
"Not here? Is it in the bedroom?"
Jiang Dexiang glanced around but didn't see anyone else. He muttered something to himself out of curiosity.
I thought about it.
"Then let's go check the bedroom."
"Anyway, this young man looks fair and delicate, and I can tell at a glance that I could take on ten of them by myself..."
Jiang Dexiang shifted his gaze to the corridor.
However, Jiang Dexiang had just taken a step forward.
"Bang!"
A deep, muffled sound rang out.
Looking at Jiang Dexiang, whose body involuntarily leaned forward after he had struck the back of Jiang's neck with his right hand.
"I've thought about all this for nothing."
"So you're just a burglar?"
Yu Xiao pursed his lips.
You're just asking for trouble. Don't you even know how many attributes I have now?
...
Even now, Jiang Dexiang still instinctively finds it hard to believe.
Having been in this line of work for so many years, I'm a thief who's been to prison several times, if not the Now You See Me.
He was easily defeated by a young, inexperienced kid?
And wasn't it nighttime? How could he move so silently and hit me so precisely on the back of the neck?
Jiang Dexiang was somewhat conflicted.
Yu Xiao was sitting opposite him.
"Should I use this thing to test out the ability I just acquired?"
Looking at Jiang Dexiang, who was tied up in a chair, Yu Xiao made a plan in his mind.
I've tested the [City of Gold] ability myself, and it does indeed turn an item into gold instantly.
That would be [an abyss].
Although Yu Xiao didn't quite understand what the Abyss of Genesis was, just hearing the name made him feel that it was something extraordinary.
"And I can also interrogate him while I'm at it..."
"After all, catching a single thief and dismantling an entire gang of thieves are two different things..."
Thinking of this, Yu Xiao stood up.
Yu Xiao looked down at Jiang Dexiang from his high vantage point.
"What are you trying to do? I'm telling you, I..."
Meeting Yu Xiao's indifferent gaze, Jiang Dexiang felt a subconscious sense of fear.
He only got halfway through his stubborn argument.
"?"
Jiang Dexiang felt that the surrounding environment had suddenly changed.
Not only was Yu Xiao gone, but the scene around the living room was also gone, and even the ropes binding Jiang Dexiang had disappeared.
Instead, Jiang Dexiang stood alone in the same spot, surrounded by complete darkness.
"Where is this?"
Looking at his surroundings, Jiang Dexiang was somewhat stunned.
The unfamiliar environment suddenly appeared, and Jiang Dexiang felt a little flustered, but what flustered him even more was how Yu Xiao had managed to do it.
He stood there blankly, looking around for several minutes.
"Never mind!"
Jiang Dexiang gritted his teeth, a ruthless look appearing on his face.
He just took one step forward.
"Welcome to the Abyss."
A detached voice boomed like thunder throughout the entire space.
Then, to Jiang Dexiang's astonishment as he looked up, Yu Xiao's enormous face appeared in the sky.
"This is……"
Upon seeing this, Jiang Dexiang was jolted awake, and his legs instantly went limp.
Just when Jiang Dexiang felt his worldview was collapsing.
You have two choices.
"First, tell me if you have any accomplices, and tell me where they live."
"Second, I will stay in the abyss until you grow old."
Yu Xiao's indifferent voice rang out again.
...
Looking at Jiang Dexiang, who was still bound hand and foot, Yu Xiao's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"The surrounding environment hasn't changed... it's purely a psychological stimulus..."
Thinking of the information he received when he first used this ability, Yu Xiao lowered his head and pondered.
1. Directly stimulating the other person's mind is akin to dragging their mind into an abyss of one's own making.
2. Inside the abyss, everything is still, including the passage of time, which also disappears here.
3. They possess supreme power and can arbitrarily reshape this abyss.
"This is a capability that surprised me."
"At least with this, you can get something out of them through interrogation; basically, anyone can do it..."
Looking up at Jiang Dexiang, whose body was beginning to tremble, Yu Xiao narrowed his eyes.
Jiang Dexiang is now not only afraid, but also desperate.
He didn't know how long he had spent in this so-called abyss.
But he knew that no matter which direction he went, it would be pitch black all around him, and the only sounds he could hear were his own footsteps, breathing, and heartbeat.
There are two things he most wants to know right now.
First, who exactly is Yu Xiao? Second, is he alive or dead?
Under this immense pressure.
"I'm giving you one more chance. Are you going to reveal your accomplices or not?"
Yu Xiao's face reappeared in the sky, and he spoke without any emotion.
The last word fell.
"Tell me! I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"
Unable to contain his fear any longer, Jiang Dexiang knelt down.
Hearing Jiang Dexiang murmur these words.
"Hmm, not bad, then..."
Yu Xiao nodded in satisfaction, then picked up the paper and pen beside him.
I was just about to take notes.
The Shadow Dragon is overjoyed to sense your satisfaction with its abilities.
