I Have Robbed 999 Types Of Powers-Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Although there was nothing valuable in the backpack, if that set of equipment was exposed, Yang Xi might end up in a passive position.

“Assuming the thief has the ability of invisibility, the scent is something he can’t hide.”

Yang Xi closed his eyes again. Since his vision was being deceived, he could only rely on his sense of smell to find the other party.

“Strange, I didn’t smell my backpack in this carriage. Does this guy really have an ability that could allow him to go through walls? This is going to be troublesome.”

Unwilling to give up, Yang Xi tried to search for the thief’s scent again. From the contact just now, he’d detected a smell of meat buns on the thief’s mouth. He must have just eaten the meat buns not long ago. Furthermore, it was the soup buns from Old Taimen. The smell was quite recognizable.

“Got him!”

Among the dozen or so passengers on the right side of the carriage, a well-dressed finance guy in a suit had the same smell around his mouth. Although their auras were completely different, there was only a slight difference in their figures.

“Could it be that the thief had completed the transformation in an instant? Is this an Esper Ability or a magic trick?”

If it was an Esper Ability, then this Esper Ability was actually very useful to Yang Xi.

“There are too many people now, it’s not suitable to make a move.”

Yang Xi planned to rob the thief of his Esper Ability. After all, this guy did not use his Esper Ability for the right path. In any case, Yang Xi’s way of doing things could be considered as getting rid of evil for the people.

The train slowly came to a stop. The finance guy adjusted his tie and walked down the train slowly. He looked really elegant and cool. Who would think that he was a thief?

Yang Xi followed him and maintained a distance of five steps away.

They boarded the elevator, exited the station, and walked down a long corridor.

The finance guy’s leather shoes created a rhythmic tapping sound on the tile as he walked.

But very quickly, his footsteps started to become disorderly. This was the first time in his thieving career that he had been followed so far by the owner of a lost item.

Initially, he thought that it was a coincidence. He even felt a faint thrill in his heart. But now, he felt that something was wrong. Perhaps the target today was not an ordinary person!

Oh my god, I’ve kicked an iron plate!

Although he regretted it, he had already considered this situation when he committed the crime.

The finance guy suddenly sped up and went into the toilet.

His sudden acceleration caught Yang Xi off guard. By the time he caught up with him, the man had already disappeared.

“Don’t even think about running after entering the toilet!”

Yang Xi rushed into the men’s washroom. However, after searching, there was no one inside.

There was no back door in the toilet, and the ventilation shaft clearly could not allow an adult male to escape.

With Super Brain active, his sense of hearing was greatly improved. However, there was no sound of footsteps leaving.

But the man had just disappeared into the toilet!

No, that’s not right!

Yang Xi frowned. There was still one place that he had yet to search. There was a light and suppressed sound of breathing in the female toilet next door.

“Could this guy have changed into a female attire?” He guessed.

Yang Xi took a look at the signboard of the female toilet and contemplated. After apologizing to all the females in his heart, he walked in.

Isolating the various pungent smells from the toilet, Yang Xi finally found the familiar smell of the Old Taimen meat buns. If this Esper thief knew that he had fallen into this situation because of the smell around his mouth, would he be so angry that he would never eat meat buns again?

“Come out. I know it’s you.”

Yang Xi said to the thief through the door.

“Pervert! What are you trying to do!”

It was actually a woman’s voice that came from behind the door!

However, Yang Xi could confirm the familiar smell of the meat buns from the person inside, and he kicked open the toilet door without hesitation.

The person who appeared in front of Yang Xi was a woman wearing a pink windbreaker. However, upon closer inspection, “she” looked 70 to 80% similar to the finance guy.

Yang Xi smiled and said, “Your ability is really special. You can even change your voice?”

“It’s a pity that it doesn’t seem to be able to change your figure and appearance.”

Compared to ordinary women, this woman’s figure was a little too burly.

The thief who was exposed stopped acting and immediately changed back into the young man in the dark green aviation suit. Yang Xi’s backpack was still hanging on his back.

This change was completed in the blink of an eye.

The thief threw the backpack to Yang Xi and said, “Big brother, I admit defeat. I will return this to you. Just treat me as a fart and let me go!”

Yang Xi took the backpack over and checked it, confirming that there was nothing missing.

“What exactly is inside? Is it worth it for you to mess with me like this?”

The thief was curious and wanted to poke his head over.

Yang Xi zipped up the bag and smiled at the thief. “Remember, find a proper job in the future and be a good person!”

Spirit Shock, Third level!

This guy was an Esper. Yang Xi was afraid that his Second level Esper Ability would be ineffective. But he was afraid that using Fourth or Fifth level of the ability would turn this guy into an idiot. Thus, he chose the safer Third level.

As expected, the thief’s body shook and he fell limply onto the toilet bowl.

Yang Xi extended his hand and activated Strip.

“I was just saying that I won’t be collecting any more Esper Abilities. But in the end, I still can’t escape from it.” Yang Xi smiled bitterly and retracted his hand. An orange Esper Ability Bead had already appeared in his palm.

[Esper Ability: Morph

Introduction: Morphing can be completed in 0.01 seconds. The Portable Costume Slot can be filled with clothes to match the transformation (2/2). Able to slightly change your voice and appearance to suit the costume design.

Evaluation: Grade-E. With this Esper Ability, you won’t need to rouse your courage to get out of the bed in winter!]

Yang Xi checked the Portable Costume Slot. The clothes inside were similar to magic shows. With just a thought, he could finish changing.

Currently, the clothes, shoes, backpacks, and accessories for the finance guy and windbreaker woman were lying in the two Portable Costume Slots respectively. Yang Xi’s backpack was currently recorded as an accessory of the dark green aviation suit outfit. It seems like this Esper Ability actually had quite a lot of storage space.

As for how large it was, it still needed to be explored.

After activating the Esper Ability Bead for Morph, Yang Xi instantly changed into the suit outfit. Even his hairstyle had changed.

“What a convenient ability!”

Yang Xi picked up the black leather briefcase and carefully closed the toilet door for the thief. Under the shocked gaze of a middle-aged woman who had just entered the toilet, he walked out of the female toilet like a beast in human clothing.

Walking out like this, he felt that his skin had become thicker!

…

A week later.

During this week, Yang Xi’s life returned to normal. He took some time to go to the hospital to accompany his sister for a while. The rest of his time was spent on developing his Esper Abilities.

Currently, excluding his Strip, he had three stolen Esper Abilities. Super Brain, Fire-resistant Shell, and Morph.

Super Brain was a combination of Yang Feifei’s, Spirit Shock, and Lin Naixue’s Brain Overload. After evolving, it reached Grade-D+. It could release spiritual shock waves to attack the enemy, and also greatly enhance his brain’s computing ability, vision, hearing, sense of smell, touch, and so on.

Under the state of Super Brain, Yang Xi’s learning ability and memory were so strong that they’d reached an incredible level. In just a few days, a large amount of knowledge was added to his mind. Microexpressions recognition, investigative techniques, anti-tracking techniques, and a series of other knowledge that was beneficial to his future plans were all eagerly absorbed by him.

It could be said that although Super Brain was only at D+level, it was the core Esper Ability for Yang Xi.

Fire-resistant Shell was a Grade-B Esper Ability. After a few days of research, Yang Xi was finally able to attach this layer of shell to his clothes. Otherwise, if he met a fire-elemental Esper, even though his body would be immune to the damage, the results of his clothes being burnt off would not be particularly suitable to appear in public.

Other than that, this Esper Ability could also increase Yang Xi’s physical defense. In other words, it also increased Yang Xi’s close combat skills. As long as he learned some close combat skills, Yang Xi would be able to face off against Grade-D close combat Espers. And with the enhancement of Super Brain, he would be able to hold his ground against Grade-C close combat Espers.

There was even less of a need to talk about Morph. Yang Xi had equipped two sets of clothes in the two Portable Costume Slots. One of them was a “janitor costume set”. Other than the clothes, he equipped a garbage trolley, a broom, and a series of professional cleaning equipment. It was used for camouflage in evacuation situations.

The other one was naturally “West Chicken”. It was the set of the white-golden West Chicken mask, a black robe, and a pair of black gloves. The transformation voice had also been set by Yang Xi to be that of an uncle who was about 40-years-old. With a single glance, it would seem obvious that he was an expert from a secret organization.

He would leave the dirty work in the future to this identity.

“Your Spirit Force Meter has arrived.” Yang Xi’s received a notification on his phone.

“This online store’s logistics is really not very good.”

When Yang Xi went downstairs to pick up the parcel, he bumped into Fan Peng, who had just alighted from a taxi.

This fellow immediately leaned over mysteriously and said, “Guess who I bumped into when I went to the nightclub?”

“The girl called Lin Naixue you’re chasing is actually working there as a hostess!”

Looking at the gossipy look on Fan Peng’s face, Yang Xi was really speechless.

Speaking of which, how long had it been since he last saw Lin Naixue?
