The Beginning

Chapter 20: The Thirteenth and Fourth Time Cycle

When he saw that the masked man was out of line, Boy immediately looked out at Li Shiqing with a pleading look on his face.

Li Shiqing is not one to give up easily. He immediately gave Boy a gesture, signalling that everything was "OK", and waved his mobile phone to indicate that he could use the contact details he had just exchanged.

Boy then began to wonder, with a sad face, what he could do to assist his companion in this difficult task.

However, his poor imagination was unable to imagine how to subdue a grown man in one go, and as modern society sometimes does not require "racking one's brains", Boy gave up when he couldn't think of anything, resigned himself to opening all the apps he could find, such as Baidu, Zhihu and Weibo, and started searching for a topic.

[How can I beat the enemy in one move?

Li Shiqing waits anxiously in her seat for his 'instructions', after all it is she who is responsible for drawing attention to herself and making direct contact with the 'thugs', and the longer she waits the more nervous she becomes.

After a few minutes, Boy finally learns all the tricks with his "eyes" and sends a text message to Li Shiqing.

"OK on my end!"

When she saw the text message, Li Shiqing immediately took a deep breath, immediately cheered up, and deliberately took out her mobile phone to take a look at her face, feeling "soft and harmless" enough before she dared to stand up.

She put on a smile and headed for the man in the mask.

Sensing someone in front of him, the masked man, who had been holding his bag, raised his head and looked at Li Shiqing warily, without speaking, with a sense of displeasure at having his territory violated, like a hedgehog with spikes up.

Li Shiqing heart thumping, a little stammered to speak: "I, I see you this sweater quite beautiful, my boyfriend to, to have a birthday, want to ask you where to buy it ......"

She had no choice but to make a random excuse in her desperation, who told her that she only remembered the black hoodie of the masked man?

While Li Shiqing accosted the masked man, Boy moved his hips inch by inch like a turtle, moving to the spot behind the masked man.

Hearing the girl's question in front of him, the masked man froze for a moment, probably not thinking that his sweatshirt looked any better, but still spat out two words with odd eyes.

"Taobao."

It's over, can't talk anymore ......

Li Shiqing instantly understood that the man in front of her was a straight man of steel who would completely kill the conversation.

"That, and you have a nice bag, is it specially made to match your dress?"

Li Shiqing had no choice but to engage in an awkward conversation when they didn't take her words seriously.

When it comes to the bag, the masked man's eyes are obviously a little unnatural, holding the bag more cautiously, only frowning, reluctant to talk, full of "I do not want to talk about this topic" written.

His eyes even began to glance at the other empty seats in the car, as if to say, "I'll just move to another seat if she doesn't leave.

Meanwhile, Xiao Heyun, who had moved quietly in the last row, finally reached the 'end' and quietly waved an arm at Li Shiqing.

Li Shiqing's heart was already in her throat as she pointed to the car door in front of her with an "ah" and suddenly shouted, "Look, what's that thing over there!"

"Huh?"

The masked man raised his eyes in bewilderment, and just as he relaxed, he felt an arm wrap around his neck from behind.

"Ho!"

Boy had already jumped up from the back seat, strangling the masked man with one arm and then jamming his own arm into place with the other, trapping him in his seat and alerting his companion in a panic.

"Quickly! Move your hands! I don't want anyone to get killed!"

Before Li Shiqing could reach out, however, the masked man broke Boy's grip, and not only did he do so, but he pulled his arm around and twisted it back.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh let go!"

Xiao Heyun's entire body was pressed backwards against the back of the front seat in a grotesque position, sweating profusely in pain and screaming out in agony.

Li Shiqing was also stunned by this sudden turn of events, and her outstretched hand retracted in fear.

The masked man glared hard at Li Shiqing, but instead of hitting her, he pulled Xiao Heyun to him and punched him in the face.

"Uhhhh!"

Boy covered his nose in severe pain and bent down as his glasses were knocked off again.

"What's going on back there?!"

Once again the driver driving in front asked for information.

"There's been a robbery!"

The masked man covered his bag and shouted, "Or a pair of male and female thieves! The woman is a distraction and the man is trying to rob my bag by force!"

Holy shit! What the hell is this!

Li Shiqing's mind went blank and she didn't want to think about anything else, nor did she expect Xiao Heyun to do so, so she pounced on him and grabbed the bag.

Xiao Heyun, who had risen from the ground, saw Li Shiqing in such a state and could not let her fight on her own, so she jumped in to help.

Seeing how arrogant the "criminals" were, the reluctant passengers in the car were enraged, and with a loud shout from the uncle in the middle of the car, who was full of trouser keys, five or six passengers in the car swarmed together and overpowered the male and female thieves who were trying to "do something". Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun.

As the two men's faces were pressed against the wall of the car by the "enthusiasts" and the familiar heat was felt from behind, Li Shiqing's ears seemed to reverberate with Boy's resigned complaints.

"How can he break free! How could he break free!"

--

"How could he have broken free? I clearly used the naked choke choke taught by the fighting champion!"

Having passed from the throes of death, a devastated Xiao Heyun is still gesticulating nervously in his seat.

"I've got this hand around his neck and the other hand against the back of his head!"

He swung his left hand and wrapped his right around it, looking at Li Shiqing as if he wanted to try it again on her, before his leap of faith was stopped by a vicious look from Li Shiqing.

"You still want to try that on me? Don't get enough face on the floor, do you?"

"Twice now! Haven't even touched a single bag hair!"

Li Shiqing said with annoyance.

"I'm here to correct you on a statement, the bag is hairless, that bag is a bag made of rainproof cloth, in theory you should say, even the cloth ......"

"You say that again?!"

The girl made a 'choke' gesture, which scared Boy into not bleeping again.

"I think we need to change our options, let's just outsmart them."

Li Shiqing, mindful of Boy's pride, didn't directly say "no" to him, but lowered her voice to discuss, "Why don't we change our thinking and wait for him to get in the car, you quietly put your leg out, and when he trips over, we'll go over and grab the bag?

"What if we accidentally set off an explosive device?"

Boy shook his head hastily and whispered, "I think my plan will work better, I'll subdue, you do ......"

Boy's voice became lower and lower until it became inaudible, as he saw his companion's eyes grow fierce.

"You to subdue?"

Li Shiqing was so exasperated that she yelled at the top of her lungs, "I didn't want to say anything, but you have the nerve to yell at me, 'Hurry up, someone will get killed'? Yes, yes, someone almost got killed, but it was you who almost got killed!"

Is there a 'choke' that you can break free of in less than a second?

She's seen it all today!

"Also, you can't just grab your glasses when they're flying and you can't see them, right? I went to jump on the bag with you, I was already in his arms, and you grabbed my hair as a bag and ripped me off him! Don't help if you're blind!"

Li Shiqing has a lot of anger when it comes to this.

"You can catch me wrong with such an obvious ponytail?"

Xiao Heyun is really at a disadvantage when it comes to "subduing suspects", and he is always on the back foot, so he listens like a quail in the water, only to mutter a few words when he is particularly aggrieved.

"Am I not nearsighted with astigmatism? You people with good eyes don't understand the pain we feel ......"

He is eight hundred degrees nearsighted, which is a degree that is indistinguishable between men and women within a hundred meters and human and animals beyond a hundred meters, plus panic, isn't it normal to catch the wrong one?

"That naked chokehold, I swear I really saw it coming!"

If you can see with your eyes and hands, you can do it!

"I can't beat him, I've only ever beaten computers before, not people! And he's so strong, he must be a practitioner, or else my body is getting weaker from the constant time cycle!"

Anyway, it must have nothing to do with him being "weak"!

"I've had a few more than you!"

Li Shiqing is so cranky that she wants to jump to her feet when she can't do something over and over again.

"If you don't agree to outsmart him we'll do it the other way around, I'll subdue him and you take the bag!"

"Well, how is that nice ......"

Boy twisted and pushed his glasses, "Better, then, to outsmart them."

Wouldn't it be more humiliating if he didn't manage to subdue a girl?

"So what are you arguing with me about?"

Although his companions had agreed with him, Li Shiqing couldn't help but spit it out.

It's crazy how her companion manages to detail the plan one, two, three, four, five at a time and also somehow mess up the plan one, two, three, four, five at a time!

Although they decided to "outsmart" him, Boy and Li Shiqing decided to spread out and sit on either side of the aisle, so that whichever way the masked man fell, they could take advantage of the opportunity to grab the bag.

After a tense communication, the car once again stopped at the familiar sound of the station announcement and the masked man once again got on the bus, clutching his bag.

Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun were staring nervously at the masked man's ...... feet, not blinking as they watched his every footfall, and Xiao Heyun was even calculating the rhythm of his stride and the distance he was taking, mentally estimating how many steps he would have to take to reach him Xiao Heyun was even calculating the rhythm of his stride and the distance he had travelled, mentally estimating how many steps he would have to take to reach him.

He quietly prepares his foot and stretches it out on the seventh count.

The normal walking masked man didn't notice the extra thing under his feet, suddenly he felt the extra thing under his feet and his body did sway a bit ......

[It's done! It's true that precise calculation is the basis of success!

Boy exclaims in his mind with surprise.

"Ah!"

The next moment, however, a sharp pain came from his toe.

"Ah sorry! Sorry I didn't see your feet!"

Instead of being startled by the extra foot under his feet, the masked man was so startled by Boy's scream that he fell backwards in the opposite direction.

Li Shiqing, who was sitting next to him, was quick enough to bend at the waist and pull the bag out of Boy's unsteady hand.

Until the heavy bag arrived in her hand, Li Shiqing still felt a little surreal.

"It's that simple ...... to get it?"

Her mind was incredulous, but her reaction was quick.

Seeing that the masked man had not yet reacted, she catapulted herself under his armpits and ran towards the front of the car with her bag in her arms, shouting as she ran.

"Uncle, don't look at us, we're fine, watch out for the motorbike at the junction on your right!"

"Hey, what are you doing!"

When the masked man saw that someone had snatched his bag, his face changed and he turned his head to give chase, only to be blocked by Boy's outstretched arm.

"I'll fight you!"

When Boy saw that Li Shiqing had indeed grabbed the bag, his emotions lifted and he lunged towards the masked man, not caring about anything.

"You're not going to do anything today!"

"Where's the crazy guy from, shit! What are you doing!"

The masked man almost fell to the ground when Boy gave him a bear hug, but only by holding onto the seat back.

" Li Shiqing, open the bag!"

Boy roars!

"No!"

The masked man, who was still seething with rage, blushed and blurted out.

Li Shiqing, with a smug smile, unzipped his shoulder bag with a swish of his lips and yanked the opening open.

When she saw what was inside, the smile on her face froze.

The kitten wrapped in the jacket feels the light outside and looks out curiously through the pouch, cocking its head and letting out a sound that is both good-natured and slender ......

"Meow?"
