Calling Me YOUR Ancestors Won't Help

If only I had a cellphone. I could just make a call to the police, oh... it would be great if I could summon ruffians from the Tang Dynasty without leaving the house...

Lin Shen sighed and struggled to get out of bed.

Can't rely on ruffians, have to handle it myself.

"System, open the door." Lin Shen ordered while dressing.

These nuisances.

He had to deal with them properly.

Outside the supermarket.

After fussing for a while, this group of people still couldn't break the glass window.

Exhausted, they sat at the entrance of the supermarket, panting heavily like dogs.

"I say, Third Brother, let's withdraw." One person spoke up, scratching his head. "If the ruffians come to patrol at night and see us, we'll get a beating."

Chang'an City had a curfew.

Unless it was for weddings, funerals, or emergencies like serious illness, one couldn't go out late at night without facing punishment.

Otherwise, being outside at this hour meant facing a beating at the Chang'an County Office.

Chen San frowned, sighing softly. "Let's leave it for today... We'll come back tomorrow night and see how to break this broken glass window..."

While they were talking.

Suddenly, there was a light clicking sound behind them.

Like the sound of a lock being opened.

They turned to look, and the titanium alloy door, which had been tightly closed just now, was now open on its own.

They looked at each other in confusion.

"What's going on? We didn't do anything, why is the door open? Is it haunted?" One person's voice trembled slightly.

Chen San also felt a little scared.

But the thought of the door being opened meant that the white silver inside would be unimpeded.

This made him itch with excitement.

Looking at the several people who had just sworn to empty the silver from this supermarket, now all showing signs of retreat on their faces.

Chen San gritted his teeth. "We're all young and strong lads, what are we afraid of, ghosts and demons for?"

"If there really are ghosts! They'll probably run away when they see us."

The others remained silent.

Chen San continued, "I don't think it's possible for it to be a ghost."

"The dragon energy is heavy under the imperial city, what ghost can survive here?"

"I reckon it's because we made too much noise just now and shook the door latch loose, so the door opened by itself now! This means it's fate! This means the heavens want us brothers to have a good life!"

At this point.

The panic brought about by their suspicions suddenly dissipated.

Right!

This is the foot of the Son of Heaven!

Their Majesty, who has been on the battlefield for a long time.

What kind of ghosts and monsters would dare to approach the imperial city?

"Then let's go in and take a look?"

They exchanged glances, encouraged each other, got up from the ground, and cautiously walked towards the supermarket.

They had just entered the supermarket.

With a click—

The whole room suddenly lit up as bright as day.

Light seemed to emanate from nowhere, illuminating every corner of the supermarket.

"What's going on!"

"Is this haunted?"

"Third Brother, what's going on?"

These small-time hoodlums were all a little panicked.

This situation was something they had never seen before, and they had never even heard of it.

Chen San took a deep breath and waved his hand loudly, "Don't panic!"

"This might be a night pearl!"

"I've heard that the night pearl produced in the East Sea shines as bright as day at night. It's probably this kind of thing..."

Someone asked, "Night... night pearl, I've heard that this thing is valuable!"

A greedy gleam flashed in Chen San's eyes, and he nodded heavily, "Yes, this night pearl, even if it sells for ten thousand taels of silver, there are people who will buy it!"

"Brothers, we must find it, and we'll be rich!"

While they were discussing eagerly.

Lin Shen yawned and walked out from the back room, squinting at them, and said softly, "What's all the excitement about, causing a ruckus late at night, do you want to let people sleep or not?"

This voice made the four people's bodies stiffen slightly.

There are actually people in the supermarket!

Either the shop assistants or the shop owner.

"Chen San, what should we do?" Someone panicked, not knowing what to do.

They had never encountered the owner before in their previous petty thefts.

Besides, that was only a small matter involving one or two taels of silver.

But this was a big deal involving several thousand taels of silver!

Chen San's face was grim, gritting his teeth and said sternly, "Are you the owner of this shop?"

Lin Shen nodded, looking at him with interest, and said softly, "Yes, I am. Is there something you need?"

Chen San continued in a stern voice, "We, brothers, are a bit tight on money recently and want to borrow some silver from you... If you're sensible, you'll hand over eighteen hundred taels."

"Otherwise... don't blame

 us for being rude."

As he spoke, he reached into his pocket.

And pulled out a slightly rusty dagger.

Swinging it around arrogantly.

Lin Shen looked at the rusty little knife in his hand with some curiosity, "Are you threatening me?"

Chen San nodded, "What else?"

"Hurry up and hand over the silver!"

"Otherwise, you'll make money with your life, but you won't be able to spend it..."

Lin Shen wasn't afraid at all.

Not to mention that the short, rusty little knife stabbing at people, whether it could even make a wound.

He walked briskly towards Chen San.

Chen San's eyes showed a hint of panic, "What are you trying to do, I have a knife in my hand!"

"Don't come over, I warn you!"

"Hurry up and hand over the silver, or you won't have a good end!"

Seeing his appearance, Lin Shen couldn't help but chuckle, "If you're so afraid, don't learn from others to rob houses... Can you even use a knife?"

He reached out and grabbed Chen San's wrist.

With tremendous force, he locked his arm, preventing him from moving forward even a step.

Chen San's face showed surprise.

This seemingly weak-looking person actually had such great strength?

Before he could react, Lin Shen shook his wrist, grabbed Chen San's throat firmly.

The immense force made it impossible for Chen San to breathe.

In the blink of an eye, his yellow face turned red.

The strongest man beside him widened his eyes and exclaimed in shock, "Let go of my Third Brother!"

Saying that, he rushed over, swung his fist, and smashed towards Lin Shen's head.

Bang—

Lin Shen raised his other hand, grabbed the fist that came at him.

Just gently exerting force.

Pulling back.

This man, like a twig, was pulled up by him and flew into the air.

Thud!

Lin Shen didn't hold back, dodging the shelves and slamming him hard onto the ground.

This man was knocked out cold, lying on the ground, his vision darkened, unable to get up.

The other two looked at each other, their knees trembling, and they knelt down resolutely, "Grandpa, spare us!"

Lin Shen glanced at them lightly, "Even calling me your ancestor won't help."

"Do you think this is your backyard, you can come and go as you please?"
