Please ask the dream

Back in his private residence, Feng Xue pulled out his card and looked at the eagle on the card, frowning slightly:

"Eagle? I actually prefer a snake..."

The organization Feng Xue joined this time is called [Illusion], an international "magician organization". Although it is a bit strange to say this, they do train "magicians". They obtain orphans with clever hands from all over the world through channels that are either obvious or hidden, and provide excellent teachers for training, but human talents are different after all, and most of these children can only become "defective products".

Of course, these so-called "defective products" will not be "cleaned up" like the failed products in the killer training camp, but will be sent to the casinos, theaters, gangs and other forces that have business dealings with the organization, or simply opened by the organization, through various channels, to become technicians. To a certain extent, they are indeed given a job to make a living.

And those who can pass the layers of selection and become real magicians will enter the real core of the organization. They can leave those dim and narrow warehouses and arrive at the real base, where they can get more systematic training.

Become a Phantom Thief.

Yes, although it sounds a bit strange, the one who spent so much effort to cultivate is indeed a Phantom Thief, and the purpose is also very clear, which is some "artifacts" with religious and historical elements, and according to the style, these artifacts should belong to a common ancient civilization.

It is worth mentioning that the structure of this organization is also strange. Theoretically, the top level is the Elders Council who never show up. In addition to deciding what to steal, they are only responsible for giving money and resources.

The instructors who can directly contact the Elders Council are not the second level of the organization, but the third level, because above them, there are 19 seats, with animals as symbols, representing the most basic inheritance of the organization. It is said that only by obtaining a seat can you be considered a real member of the family, and you can directly join the Elders Council after retirement.

By the way, the instructor who was responsible for teaching Feng Xue and others before was one of the 19 seats, and his symbol was [Wolf].

Although there are 19 seats, it is not always full. For example, when Feng Xue joined the organization, there were only seven in office, just over one-third.

To obtain a seat, you must complete a series of complex and symbolic tasks, and the final step is to steal items designated by the organization from the world's top museums, bank vaults, and other places. Only after completing a task of this level can you be eligible to challenge for a seat.

The nineteen seats also correspond to nineteen magic effects, but at the same time, Feng Xue is no stranger to the nineteen symbolic animals, because they often appear on the cultural relics that are the targets.

This situation also made Feng Xue wonder whether this organization is actually the remnants of an ancient country that has perished or weakened, and is collecting treasures that have been lost from their own country.

Taking out the card with the eagle drawn on it, Feng Xue frowned again. The eagle symbolizes "displacement" in magic. In comparison, Feng Xue actually prefers the snake that symbolizes "mind reading" or the cat that symbolizes "perception".

"Is it the code name obtained by the owner of this identity? Or is it because I am responsible for the rear guard every time I cooperate with the task?" Feng Xue rolled his eyes, but his fingers gently stroked the card.

Magicians have many tricks, just like the old con man sweating, through some subtle scratches in specific locations, it is enough to convey complex information.

"It is impossible that such a basic trick can be done to this extent? Why do we still have to do this kind of formalism?"

Feng Xue read out the address on the card, sighed, looked at the sky outside the window, turned around and lay down on the bed. The next moment, he appeared in front of a row of password lockers.

Of course, this is not some teleportation effect attached to the card, but a unique time jump in the dream. As long as he leaves the task state, the dream will automatically skip those processes that do not require technical content and let him get to the point directly, which is quite like pressing skip in a game.

According to the information on the card, Feng Xue found the corresponding locker, entered the password, and took out the file bag inside.

Instead of opening it immediately, Feng Xue found a cafe and went into the toilet marked as "cat lover" before opening the document.

There was nothing much to say about the mission target, an eagle ring inlaid with red gemstones. However, when his sight moved down, Feng Xue's eyes suddenly paused, because in that group of related photos, he saw his own face!

Not the face of Qingyun Baihong, but the face he was using in this dream!

"What's the situation? The target is me?"

Feng Xue looked up at the sink and saw the real him in the mirror.

"So, this dream is only fourteen years?"

As the thought fell, Feng Xue felt a white mist suddenly appear in front of his eyes, just like the feeling of waking up in the dream, which surged and disappeared. Feng Xue stabilized his mind again, but he was already on a busy street.

No, to be precise, this cannot be considered a street, but a square in front of a large museum.

"The Hall of the Oath of the Star Ring..."

Looking at this familiar building, Feng Xue's eyebrows slightly raised. In his fourteen-year career as a phantom thief, he has been to this museum seven times in total, which is the most frequent visit among similar targets.

But this can't be blamed on him, mainly because many exhibits are very easy to be damaged during transportation and exhibition, which leads to the fact that the exhibits exhibited in the museum are often not genuine.

So even an international thief group like [Illusion] can only start directly after finding the target location each time, instead of catching all the targets in one go.

But this time, Feng Xue's target is obviously not this museum, but...

The young man standing outside the museum.

In fact, this person looks very inconspicuous. He wears casual clothes similar to the pedestrians around him, sits casually on a bench on the side of the road, crosses his legs, wears a pair of brown glasses on his face, and has wireless headphones in his ears. His fingers and toes shake from time to time with the melody of the music. He looks like an ordinary young man waiting for a date.

The reason why Feng Xue can lock on this person is not because he looks like this every time he steps on the spot, but because on the other party's left index finger, he carries his target this time-

the eagle ring inlaid with rubies.
