Chapter 17: Another Monster

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The boy stopped his howling and crying very sensibly. Only traces of sadness and stubbornness flowed freely on his face.

His best choice was to be strong and give in when the boy should be.

The woman next to the boy was a little embarrassed by his sudden stop in crying. The woman had tried to persuade and raise her voice, but nothing worked. Now, the boy had suddenly stopped crying.

The woman felt that she had suffered an internal injury.

Lin Shu glanced at the boy with a stern look in his eyes. As if Lin Shu were saying, ‘I dare you to provoke me again.’

The boy wiped away his non-existent tears and looked ahead with determination, pretending to be a behaved child.

Lin Shu stood up, but he didn’t get off the bus. Instead, he gave his seat to an old lady who was getting on the bus. Lin Shu took a few steps back and stood beside the boy.

As Lin Shu stood closer to the boy, the boy’s back straightened even more.

Under the influence of evil, one had no choice but to bow their head.

The boy sat in his seat obediently like a good boy.

The passengers on the bus had an even better impression of Lin Shu. He had his way of dealing with a naughty child, but he also had a heart that respected the old and did not care for the young. It was great that Lin Shu was willing to take the initiative to give up his position to the old.

As soon as they got off the bus, many girls secretly took pictures of Lin Shu’s handsome face.

However, Lin Shu’s expression was extremely grave. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was hideous.

Lin Shu felt intense pressure.

That was because another monster had come.

At the stop that the bus had stopped, at-there was a line of words floating above the head of a monster among the group of people—

Level 12 Pickpocket

Skill: Steals at the right time.

Note: Good at disguising and aggressive.

‘A Pickpocket? That monster’s name was extraordinary.’ That was the first thought that flashed through Lin Shu’s mind.

However, there was no doubt that this Pickpocket was definitely a thief. Otherwise, an average person wouldn’t have been named as a Pickpocket with the skill of stealing, disguising, and being aggressive!

Lin Shu felt he was getting a headache as he stared at the Pickpocket. Then, he really saw the Pickpocket squeeze behind a middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman was holding the handrail with one hand and playing with her phone with the other. Her head was lowered, and she overlooked the approaching danger.

The Pickpocket was a thin middle-aged man with a regular and natural expression.

Lin Shu was a little hesitant. He didn’t know if the monster would commit a crime here.

However…

In that instant, the Pickpocket moved so quickly that even though Lin Shu didn’t see how he did it, he could see that the Pickpocket had made his move. Lin Shu even noticed the Pickpocket smiling as he prepared to walk further in.

‘What should I do? Should I make a move when I see a thief on the bus? Would the thief have a weapon? Does he have a knife? Is he dangerous? Would there be other members of the Pickpocket? Would I be looking for trouble? Would I be retaliated against in the future? Would I be in trouble? What should I do? Should I shout? Or say something?’

Countless thoughts and ideas were intertwined in Lin Shu’s mind.

Lin Shu’s heart was beating very fast. He was a little nervous and at a loss. The uneasiness and fear rushed up to his head. He was really a little scared.

Lin Shu knew this Pickpocket was not a monster like the Spoiled Brat. His life was really likely to be in danger.

‘In that case, am I going to jump ahead and challenge this terrifying monster?

‘Or should I pretend I didn’t know anything and didn’t see anything?’ Lin Shu thought.

At that moment, Lin Shu’s brain went haywire. He was young and ignorant, blinded by justice. His mouth twitched, and he shouted, “There’s a thief on the bus. Everyone, please be careful with your belongings.”

Lin Shu’s words instantly set off a commotion on the bus. The bus passengers were shocked and quickly looked at their wallets and mobile phones.

Beep!

Congratulations! You roared furiously, and the light of the righteous path caused a certain amount of damage to the Level 12 Pickpocket. You gained 3,120 Exp. Points and 325 Gold Coins.

In the next second, the Pickpocket glared at Lin Shu fiercely.

That gaze was very short, and it disappeared in a brief moment.

Danger!

The Level 12 Pickpocket’s Death Glare has locked onto you and bared its teeth at you!

Lin Shu’s heart was beating rapidly. He naturally saw the Pickpocket’s fierce gaze, and their eyes met briefly.

However, the thief glared at Lin Shu angrily and walked toward the bus’s back door.

“My wallet! My wallet was stolen! Mr. Driver, someone stole my wallet!” someone shouted in panic.

Lin Shu’s heart was beating fast as he looked at the monster, Pickpocket. Lin Shu was a little scared but still shouted, “The thief wants to get out of the bus. Mr. Driver, don’t open the door.”

The bus had just arrived at the station and was about to open the door.

If Lin Shu knew martial arts, he would have kicked him, then left and right hook him. Of course, that was against the law. Unfortunately, Lin Shu didn’t know martial arts, so he could only block the door of the bus and catch the thief who was about to get out and escape.

However, the thief revealed his ferocity. He wanted to push Lin Shu away and get out of the bus, but the bus driver didn’t open the door.

The thief wasn’t as strong as Lin Shu, so he was caught by Lin Shu and pressed against the bus’s handle, unable to move.

The public bus was filled with cheers and applause. At the same time, people were also using their phones to take pictures of Lin Shu.

It was a moment of greatness. Sometimes, not standing up didn’t mean that one didn’t respect the righteous and good people who stood up.

“You’re good, I must say. You can see through me and dare to stand up against me. I give you that. I’ll remember you! This isn’t over!” said the Pickpocket.

The Pickpocket was subdued, but he was still shouting crazily.

Lin Shu was a little nervous and scared, but he didn’t feel so frightened after holding the thin thief down. Lin Shu wasn’t even as tall as the thief but skinny.

Although Lin Shu’s heart was still beating very fast, he held it back and leaned against the handle of the carriage. He said coldly, “Don’t scare me. I’m not from Xiamen University. I graduated from Xiangnan University.”

Many passengers were also angered by the thief’s words because he was still arrogant even after being caught.

“Still talk big? Call the police. Let’s see if he can still be arrogant when the police come.

Beep!

Congratulations! You are fearless and have dealt a certain amount of damage to the Level 12 Pickpocket and captured it alive successfully. You gained 29,990 Exp. Points and 2,960 Gold Coins.

‘Successfully capturing the monster alive? Could I turn this monster into a pet?

Lin Shu shook off the thoughts in his mind and looked at the considerable amount of Exp. Points. He was shocked.

‘That’s a lot of Exp. Points!

‘Looks like the risk and reward coexisted, and the experience gained from killing large monsters was quite considerable!

‘Of course, it was also perilous to kill the big monsters. If I’m not careful, the monsters will instantly kill me. There would be no chance for me to revive here.

‘If I’m dead means I’m dead…

‘Nothing in this world could revive me.’ Lin Shu thought.
