0034 is gone

  "What kind of international joke are you playing, how can it be gone? I just saw you holding it a moment ago. You must not want me to see it, afraid that I'll ask you to split the money with me. That's definitely what's going on. I'm too lazy to even bother speaking up."

  "It's really gone." Xiao Shou Hou fell to the ground with a thud, muttering softly.

  "Don't play around, what time is it already? I wouldn't dare to covet that crystal ball." I'd rather die than believe it, this guy's stuff would go missing, and he usually hides it so tightly.

  Now I'm not as interested in these things as I used to be. In short, now I just want to enter the bronze gate, no matter how dangerous it is.

  "Go find it yourself." Little Skinny Monkey couldn't help but retort.

  At this time, I realized that Little Skinny Monkey was not lying. Looking at the messy things on the ground, the only thing missing was the crystal ball.

  "Where did it go?" I stood there in confusion, thinking of what happened on the bus earlier. Grandpa's file was in my backpack, and the backpack was always with me, but now it was gone. At that time, I even turned the backpack upside down, but still couldn't find any sign of the file, as if it had vanished into thin air.

  There's also that map I dug up from Ghost City, which somehow ended up in my backpack for no reason.

  Is there really such a person around us?

  Thinking of this, I felt a chill all over, unable to imagine what kind of concept this is, in short, it will be very dangerous.

  "How did I know, after finally finding something valuable, it's gone? Isn't this just teasing me?! I clearly put it in the inner pocket of my bag, anything can fall out, but that crystal ball wouldn't fall out!" Little Skinny Monkey was furious, his face twisted with a murderous look.

  "Is there anyone who has approached you, the one closest to you?" I asked with a tense expression. The one who got closest should be that person, so in this group of people, who would it be?

  "It's you! How did I know you'd come to hit me..." Little Skinny Monkey's face sank, presumably he thought of the time I pinned him down.

  "That was an accident." I smiled awkwardly, but in my heart, I had been wanting to hit him for a long time. Regardless of whether it was related to Zhou Baihe's matter or not, the reason was simply that I couldn't stand this kid.

  "Who else is closer to you besides me? Anyway, I won't be craving for that treasure of yours." I said with a serious tone, throwing my hands open.

  At this time, the little monkey lowered its head, suddenly raised its head, staring at my eyes black and bottomless, I was stunned, let alone this kid really suspected me.

  At the thought of this, I got angry, and I pressed Xiao Shou Huan under my body. One hand tightly grasped his two hands, he struggled a few times, and finally, the two of us rolled around together.

  The little monkey was thinner and smaller than me, he hooked his two hands around my buttocks, pinched hard on my buttocks, I suddenly changed my face and scolded: "You little boy don't move your hands and feet, don't touch my buttocks."

  Touching my butt, if you're going to touch it, it's better to be a woman. A big man touching my butt, damn it, I'm not gay.

  "I'm not gay..." I had just declared this, when suddenly a strong force flipped me over, and by the time I reacted, I was already pinned down.

  What's going on? That skinny little monkey actually managed to flip me over and pin me down. I'm so angry, my face is turning black!

  That little skinny monkey that I've always suppressed has become so powerful when did it happen? How is it that this change, his mother's, is too great.

  "What the hell, I didn't say it was your doing, what's with that look, don't be so impulsive all the time, can't you not be so childish?" Little Skinny Monkey stretched out his palm and slapped my face hard, glaring at me as he scolded.

  "Get out, who told you to look at me like that, as if I'm the one who took that thing. Get out and search my bag, do whatever you want." I pushed the small monkey on my body with force, pushing it upwards.

  Then, Xiao Shou Hou faintly said, "From now on, don't fucking bite people like a dog for no reason."

  I nodded and replied irritably, "Don't waste words, get out of here quickly."

  This guy looks thin and harmless, but when he presses against me, it's like a big fat man, I'm almost out of breath.

  The little monkey climbed down from me and pulled my backpack, seeing this, I subconsciously held my backpack tightly, not letting it be pulled away.

  "Then why don't you let me see?" The thin monkey looked at me with some suspicion and said, his movements getting bigger and bigger, determined to pull that backpack over.

  "You damn well are suspicious of me." I'd rather die than let him take the backpack away, the things inside can't be known to others, like that map, that jade pendant.

  But I thought about it, and this is not something that can't be seen, it's just too hard to explain, and I'm too lazy to say.

  "It's done, so what?!" The thin monkey's face sank, looking unpleasant, as if my backpack was carrying that accursed crystal ball.

  "Here you go." My face didn't look so good either, as if I had eaten shit.

  It's not about what you say, it's just that feeling of being placed in front of others, like walking naked on the street.

  The little monkey opened my backpack and poured everything out. Suddenly, a map appeared on the ground. The little monkey's hand stopped, and he asked in confusion: "How do you have this?"

  "What's with all the questions? This thing was already here before I even saw you, and I have no idea where it came from." I snatched the backpack over, and as I rummaged through it, my right hand touched a round spherical object. My expression changed greatly, and then I opened up the inner layer, and what I pulled out was actually a crystal ball.

  "What's going on?" My face turned black like I had eaten shit, looking extremely ugly.

  However, I never thought that this crystal ball which caused us to argue for half a day would actually appear in my backpack.

  Who did it?

  My backpack has never left my side, and it's impossible to put this thing in there, especially in the innermost compartment? From the quicksand array to here, it's only been half a day, and I couldn't think of who would put it in during that time. You know, putting things into that inner compartment makes a lot of noise, I wouldn't be unaware of it.

  The person I'm closest to is... who? Zhou Baihe? That's also impossible.

  Zhou Baihe was gone from the very beginning, and whether he was alive or dead, no one knew.

  Why is it always happening that inexplicable things happen to me, some impossible things all come to me.

  It all somehow relates back to me, which is what infuriates me the most.

  Recently, I've been on edge all the time, making me look like a madman, suspicious of everything and everyone.

  Now I've made it clear that this crystal palace can't be in my backpack, but now it's actually found in my backpack.

  This makes me unable to clear my name, this has turned my integrity into a joke, this has made me a thief, the most hated thief of my life. But the problem is, I am not a thief, yet I have been framed by others.

  Suppose I said it wasn't me who did this, would he believe me? If I were him, I wouldn't believe me either, after all, the thing was found on me.

  The two of them saw the crystal ball in my palm, and their faces both fell. However, the thin monkey's expression was extremely serious, he stared at me dead on, trying to read from my facial expression whether I was lying or not. I understood why he looked at me like that, but I really wasn't a thief, I hadn't stolen anything. The thin monkey looking at me like this made it clear he didn't believe me, which made my heart sink and feel bitter.

  I never thought that someone else's thoughts would directly cause me pain. Yes, I said I didn't care about other people's opinions, but the fact is, it happened and I found myself really uncomfortable.

  "Ah...... how can it be with you, that's impossible." The bald man's expression changed greatly, shouting like a madman. I found it strange that this short pumpkin would say it's impossible, not only strange, but also unexpected.

  But before I could think carefully, the thin monkey took a step ahead and snatched the crystal ball away, his face tense, his eyes also so, as if the crystal ball was his.

  I just stood there, waiting for the thin monkey's saliva to fly over, but after a long time, the thin monkey put the crystal ball back into his backpack, and finally said seriously and solemnly to me: "I don't mind this matter, I don't care if you took it or not, anyway, now it's in my hands."

  Just as I was about to speak, the bald man said something that shocked me: "This is impossible, I clearly saw it wasn't you who took it, how did it end up with you?"
