Extraordinary in Reality Through Magic Games

392: Chapter 380 (Anti-theft chapter; main text will be updated in a few hours)After following his instincts and having a brief conversation with someone who came from who knows where, Liu San took a full ten seconds to snap out of it; there should only be himself in the room.

His instinct kicked in again, and he subconsciously asked himself, ”Huh, how could there be someone else in the room?”

”Did he come in through the front door? Why didn’t I hear the door open? Is it the hotel staff... no, that’s not right...”

”The way this person speaks sounds a lot like the people in the Mountain Gate videos released by the Special Investigation Bureau. Uh, someone from the Mountain Gate? No way...”

Liu San’s whole body stiffened, hesitating whether to turn his head and confirm if his guess was true. ”It should, it should be impossible. If the Mountain Gate wanted to handle this, why would they wait over a month? But...”

He tried desperately to comfort himself, but the reality unfolding before his eyes rendered all his efforts futile, and the heaviness in his heart was not alleviated in the slightest.

”It’s fake, it must be fake, maybe I haven’t woken up yet...”

”Have you lost your mind? Why are you talking to yourself?”

A familiar voice came from behind. Realizing the truth of the situation, Liu San knew he was likely finished.

His brain raced, thinking of ways to escape. Countless brilliant plans flashed through his mind, but in the end, he lowered his head in despair. There was no way to run.

He turned around slowly. A figure wearing robes with long hair tied up stood by the door.

”Who are you? We don’t know each other. Did you find the wrong person?” He put on a confused expression, attempting to play dumb and get away with it.

Senior Brother Zhou smiled and said, ”You spend your days committing fraud in my name, how could you not know me?”

”It’s a misunderstanding, there must be some mis...”

Senior Brother Zhou had no interest in listening to his fabrications. He flashed in front of him, grabbed him by the back of his collar, flew out the window, and sped through the air towards China.

Liu San had been in the sky before, but only using transportation. He had never experienced flying with his own body like this before, and he was so scared that he didn’t even dare to open his eyes.

Perhaps it was also the fear of the coming punishment; he kept his eyes tightly shut to resist the strong wind, and incidentally, to escape reality. However, reality was still reality; there was no escaping it.

When the cold wind hitting his face disappeared, he understood that he had probably arrived, and tentatively opened his eyes.

Before him was a spacious room with a long table in the center, where four people sat facing each other in pairs.

The pair on the right was a bit strange, dressed as a monk and a Taoist priest. The two on the left, Liu San recognized, and was even very familiar with, though the other party likely didn’t know him—Team Leader Zhao Qi of the Special Investigation Bureau and Team Leader Ye Ming of the Special Investigation Bureau.

Seeing the two of them clearly, then looking back at Senior Brother Zhou, who was standing by the door with his hands behind his back, Liu San almost burst into tears.

”Is this necessary? Huh? Is it necessary? In terms of fraud amount, I’m not the highest; in terms of social impact, others have gangs while I work alone. Even if you’re going to make an example of someone, it shouldn’t be me!”

”You two, excuse yourselves.” After finding a casual excuse to let the old Taoist and the monk leave, and waiting for them to obediently walk out of the room, Zhao Qi gestured with his chin toward the wooden chair opposite him. ”Stop looking around, sit down.”

”Team Leader Zhao.” Liu San said with a fawning expression, ”Please listen to my explanation, I had my reasons.”

”Enough with the nonsense, sit down and then talk.”

”Oh.” Liu San hung his head and sat on the wooden chair.

”Tell me, how much money did you defraud in total? I advise you to confess honestly and strive for lenient treatment.”

”It wasn’t that much...” Seeing Zhao Qi’s increasingly gloomy gaze, Liu San felt a bit nervous and didn’t dare to continue dodging the question. ”I haven’t tallied the exact number, but I estimate it’s... just under twenty million.”

Zhao Qi and Ye Ming kept their faces expressionless, but inwardly they gasped.

So much?
