Chapter 31 The "Thief" Sequence

His foot stepped on the stone slab, making a soft sound.

Qin Siyang immediately widened his eyes.

When he had hidden the silver coin under this floor tile before, the sound it made when he stepped on it wasn't like this!

At that time, it made dull "bang bang" sounds!

Now, it was a clear sound.

Qin Siyang's heart suddenly tightened.

It seemed that there was nothing under the floor tile!

Did this mean that someone had already taken away the silver coin he had placed here?

No, he had to verify it as soon as possible!

Qin Siyang no longer drifted back and forth with the crowd. Instead, he stood firmly on this floor tile, and no matter how the people beside him pushed and shoved, he refused to take a step away.

"Why aren't you moving? Are you crazy?!"

Just as the people around were about to accuse him of standing in the way, several more sequence ability users wearing anti-freeze suits passed by here.

The attention of the crowd was instantly attracted, and they swarmed around at once to promote their businesses.

Qin Siyang couldn't care less. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, he immediately squatted down and pretended that sand had gotten into his shoes.

He adjusted his posture and used his body to block the floor tile, so that the people around couldn't see any changes in the floor tile.

Then, when he took off his shoes, Qin Siyang used one finger to pry into the gap between the floor tiles and gently lifted the floor tile.

Then, by the light hanging high at the exit of the safe zone, with his extremely strong eyesight, he saw that there was really a shallow pit half a centimeter deep and the size of a fist under the floor tile. And that silver coin had also disappeared.

Qin Siyang put the floor tile back as if nothing had happened, and he was completely stunned.

Even though he had been staring at it all the time, the silver coin had still been taken away!

How could this be possible?!

Qin Siyang had clearly just put down the silver coin two or three hours ago. How could it be gone?

Could it be that the person who took the silver coin had been keeping watch in secret and had taken it away immediately after seeing him put the silver coin here?

Qin Siyang clenched his fists and trembled with anger.

From beginning to end, the floor tile hadn't been lifted by anyone.

Taking something from a distance?

It seemed that this silver coin had been taken away by a sequence ability user when no one was paying attention.

He scanned the fanatical crowd around him, trying to find that sequence ability user hidden among them.

But it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Where could he find it?

Qin Siyang immediately calmed down and thought about a solution.

If he gave up like this, then he would have to let "Exile" control him.

No way!

After the incident with Liu Dazhi, Qin Siyang absolutely wouldn't allow himself to give his把柄 to others again.

He spent money to get things done, not to give others the means to control him!

Damn it!

Qin Siyang cursed secretly in his heart.

If the person who took the silver coin was a sequence ability user disguised as an ordinary person, then he would have no way to turn the situation around.

However.

If the person who took the silver coin was a sequence ability user of a certain god-hunting team—

Then there might still be a chance to turn things around.

Thinking of this, Qin Siyang no longer waited. Instead, like the others, he began to squeeze and get closer to the position where the sequence ability users were.

Qin Siyang was very strong and could easily squeeze to the front row.

But this was too deliberate and could easily be noticed by the sequence ability users of the god-hunting team.

This wasn't a good idea.

The silver coin had been taken away by a sequence ability user not long after Qin Siyang put it down. So the person who took the silver coin most likely had been watching him put down the silver coin and also knew what he was wearing.

If Qin Siyang's actions were too obvious, he could be recognized at once.

In order to avoid being noticed by the sequence ability users, he could only squeeze forward slowly.

When he was about to squeeze to the front row, he took off his coat again, revealing his young student's face.

He believed that now the person who took the silver coin probably wouldn't know who he was.

Qin Siyang kept praying in his heart, hoping that the person who took the silver coin was a member of a certain god-hunting team, not a random passerby.

He also recalled the sequence information he had checked in the Godslayer Camp that day in his mind.

"The person who took the silver coin should be a sequence ability user of the 'Thief' sequence. Using the skill 'Steal', they can take away items within a certain spatial range around themselves." "The 'Steal' skill can be said to be one of the top skills in the safe zone. Taking things from a distance is easy, and the dream of getting rich overnight is within reach."

"So, the United Government strictly prohibits the sequence ability users of the 'Thief' sequence from activating their skills in the safe zone. Once discovered, they will be executed."

"However, the ability users of this sequence don't play a big role in the god-hunting teams."

"Because the range of their 'Steal' is too small, and the 'Thief' sequence doesn't have many skills to protect their lives. If they want to use their skills on the gods, they will be killed as soon as they get close."

"So in the god-hunting teams, they can only play a minor role."

Qin Siyang went through the information about the "Thief" sequence bit by bit in his mind, and then his eyes gradually became firm.

"The person walking on the outermost edge and behaving the most humbly in a god-hunting team is most likely a sequence ability user of the 'Thief' sequence!"

After determining the sequence of the person who took the silver coin, a profile that matched the characteristics of the person emerged.

Whenever a team of sequence ability users passed by in front of him, he would carefully observe the expressions of the team members.

If the team members were all chatting casually, he would pay less attention.

If there was someone in a team standing aside, being taciturn, or always smiling obsequiously, then Qin Siyang would pay more attention and carefully listen to their conversation.

Several god-hunting teams had passed by, all discussing the battle outside the safe zone just now.

Qin Siyang listened to their conversations but didn't find the person of the "Thief" sequence, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

At this moment, another god-hunting team passed through the crowd.

The members of this team were unlike the previous teams that had passed by. They didn't seem to care much about the battle with the gods. Instead, they were enthusiastically planning which bar to go to for a drink and relaxation later.

A thin young man in his early twenties said, "Guys, I won't go for a drink later."

"Hmm? Why?"

"I..." The thin young man hesitated for a moment.

"Hey, do you even need to ask? He didn't contribute much anyway, so how could he have the nerve to drink with us?"

"That's right. He's just a 'Thief' sequence ability user. He can only help us with some menial tasks outside. If the officers of the Administration Bureau hadn't forced him into our team, who would want him?"

The team members taunted and sneered at him, and the thin young man gritted his teeth but didn't respond.

The others glanced at him disdainfully and then left, arm in arm.

The thin young man fell behind the others and walked alone in silence.

However, this kind of dispute was just an internal exclusion within the god-hunting team and didn't affect the madness of the ordinary people around.

Even a sequence ability user who was ridiculed was still a sequence ability user, which was worlds apart from ordinary people.

Seeing that the thin young man was alone, the surrounding crowd even more enthusiastically surrounded him.
