[Ding! You have opened 18 ordinary treasure chests.]
[You have obtained 4 bank cards with ten million, 2 portions of medicated wine, 4 quick hemostatic bandages, 2 portions of special bandages, 3 surveillance shielding devices, and 3 signal jammers.]
[Quick Hemostatic Bandage: Apply to the wound and remove to stop the bleeding.]
[Special Bandage: Can accelerate wound healing.]
[Surveillance Shielding Device: Causes designated surveillance cameras to enter a loop, can be cancelled manually.]
[Signal Jammer: Can block signals from designated devices.]
"Oh? The items have been upgraded?"
Lin Yi was very curious to see several new items appearing from the ordinary treasure chests.
"Could this be related to the collaboration I achieved last time? Is that why the quality of the treasure chests has improved?"
Lin Yi wasn't sure if this was the case, so he would have to find another female character related to the target of his Strategynext time.
Hmm... Should it be the beautiful and lovely mother-in-law? Or the intellectual older sister?
It's so hard to decide... It would be great if someone could help me make a decision.
[You have opened 3 silver chests.]
[You have obtained two Favor Event Cards and one Hypnosis Card.]
[Hypnosis Card: Can give a simple suggestion to a designated target.]
"Hypnosis Card? What does this mean? Is it suggesting that I hypnotize someone to do something unspeakable?"
Lin Yi felt that this system was a bit dirty, always giving him these improper cards.
[You have opened 3 special treasure chests, you have obtained nothing.]
"Damn."
————————
Afternoon, department store.
Parents were watching a Kamen Rider stage play with their children. As Kamen Rider defeated all the enemies, the children cheered.
"Yay, Kamen Rider, wipe out all the bad guys!!!"
In the children's beautiful fantasies, Kamen Rider neatly solved the bad guys.
Of course, the Junior Detective League, as Kamen Rider fans, were also watching the stage play from the side.
"They really came."
Lin Yi pulled down his Peaked Cap, looking at the cheering quartet in the distance, feeling slightly emotional.
Should I think of a way to get them to leave?
Lin Yi had thought about this question, but he ultimately rejected it.
These four are too troublesome. Lin Yi had long disliked them. Except for Ayumi, the cute loli, who can be forgiven, Lin Yi couldn't let the other three off.
He wanted to find an opportunity to teach them a lesson, to let them know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is.
Children should honestly study and play in the mud, or at least engage in early love.
It's reckless to learn to be detectives when nothing is going on.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Yi glanced at the time, which was almost right, and turned around to enter the department store.
Coincidentally, Lin Yi ran into Miyano Akemi at the entrance. She also saw him. The two nodded tacitly and walked to the left and right.
Lin Yi stopped. He thought for a moment, since he had multiple Favor Event Cards, he might as well try it out to see if a hero-saves-the-beauty scenario could occur.
So he used the Favor Event Card on Akemi.
Since he had memorized the locations of the surveillance cameras in advance, Lin Yi was aware of avoiding them, eventually arriving at the furniture section on the first floor.
There weren't many people here, and the sales staff were all looking forward to getting off work.
Lin Yi walked to a wardrobe, carefully examining it, and found that the wardrobe was quite large and very suitable for hiding.
The nearby saleswoman saw Lin Yi coming over and asked, "Sir, what do you need?"
"Um..."
Lin Yi frowned.
Do you think I look like someone who can afford a wardrobe with the clothes I'm wearing?
"I'm just looking around..."
Lin Yi indicated that he wasn't buying.
"It's okay to look around. Let me introduce this wardrobe to you. It's made with excellent materials and polishing."
The saleswoman possessed extremely high professional qualities. Even if she encountered a customer who wasn't buying, she would explain it to him carefully.
Lin Yi felt a headache. Can't you just stay quietly on the side, waiting to get off work?
Seeing the saleswoman constantly chattering, it seemed that she wouldn't stop unless he left.
Helpless, Lin Yi could only use his trump card.
He looked around. Good, she was the only one here.
So, Lin Yi raised his hand and waved his fingers back and forth in front of her, saying, "You can't see me... you can't see me... you can't see..."
The saleswoman was stunned, only to see her eyes dim for a moment, then brighten again.
"Huh?" The saleswoman looked around blankly, scratching her head and saying, "What am I doing here? That's strange... Oh well, it's almost time to get off work, I'll go back and pack my things."
After saying that, she turned and left, not even noticing Lin Yi, a living person, standing right in front of her.
"Whew… this hypnosis card is really useful."
Lin Yi expressed great satisfaction with its effect.
Once the saleswoman was out of sight, Lin Yi opened the closet and hid inside.
The space inside the closet was just enough for one person.
The closet wasn't completely closed; light could still be seen from under the closet door.
This meant there was airflow, so Lin Yi didn't have to worry about suffocating.
He took out his phone to check the time; there were still twenty minutes until closing time.
Lin Yi waited patiently.
After what seemed like a long time, Lin Yi suddenly heard footsteps.
Moreover, the footsteps seemed to be approaching his location.
This made Lin Yi's heart sink, and he couldn't help but think to himself: [Could it be that the effect of the hypnosis card has worn off, and that saleswoman has come back to check on the situation?]"
Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt slightly anxious.
If that were the case, Lin Yi would have no choice but to knock her unconscious.
As Lin Yi had expected, the footsteps grew closer and closer, and then suddenly, they stopped.
This made Lin Yi secretly curse his bad luck; he was already prepared to take action.
Just then, the closet door was opened.
Lin Yi was about to strike when his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.
The person who opened the door wasn't the saleswoman; it was Miyano Akemi!
Akemi was stunned when she opened the door and saw Lin Yi hiding inside; she didn't expect to find him just by randomly opening a closet.
In her daze, she heard the voices of the staff, so she quickly squeezed into the closet and closed the door behind her.
