Feeling the force on his shoulder, Xu Mo was a little panicked.
After all, he had come here to steal something.
Few people who do bad things can be completely calm.
Especially when someone suddenly pats you on the back before you commit the crime.
Even someone with excellent psychological quality would lose their cool in this situation.
Even Xu Mo, who was used to storms, could not be an exception.
At this moment, his heartbeat was slightly faster than usual.
Xu Mo was even thinking, did he reveal his flaws?
No...impossible.
Xu Mo's disguise skills were very skilled now. After the disguise, he carefully checked himself in the mirror and others could not recognize his disguised self.
Moreover, his various behaviors after entering the exhibition were consistent with other visitors, and there was nothing suspicious.
Thinking of this, Xu Mo's uneasy heart calmed down again.
He slowly turned around to see who had patted him.
After turning around, Xu Mo saw a young man wearing glasses and looking at him with a smile.
Xu Mo frowned.
He was sure he didn't know this person at all, not even having seen him before.
The next second, the bespectacled man said, "Zhang Wei! I recognized you from afar. I didn't expect it to really be you. Why didn't you go to the last class reunion?"
Xu Mo: "..."
He was so nervous just now!
He even wondered if he had been found out.
Who would have thought, this was just a passerby.
Because he was disguised as an ordinary face, this guy had recognized the wrong person.
Zhang Wei?
You are Zhang Wei!
Your whole family are Zhang Wei!
"Sorry, you've got the wrong person," Xu Mo said helplessly.
"That's impossible, my memory is very good," the bespectacled man retorted at first.
Then he pointed at himself, "Don't you remember me? Li Yi. We were the hottest guys in school at the time. You were the bottom of the grade and I was second to last. The head teacher wished every day that we would drop out so we wouldn't embarrass him, haha..."
Meeting an old friend, the bespectacled man looked very happy and spoke nonstop.
Xu Mo, on the other hand, had a bit of a headache.
He really didn't have time to chat with this guy right now.
According to the agreement, the others would create chaos to help him get a chance to steal at 3:15.
It was already 3:13, only 2 minutes before the agreed time.
If he kept talking with this bespectacled guy, something was bound to go wrong.
A plan came to Xu Mo's mind.
Staring at the bespectacled man, "I remember now!"
The bespectacled man looked at Xu Mo full of expectation, "You remember me now, right?"
"I remember...you still owe me two thousand dollars, right?" Xu Mo said.
As soon as he heard this, the bespectacled man's face froze.
He was stunned for two seconds, then pretended to answer a phone call and took out his cell phone from his pocket.
"Sorry, I have an incoming call, let me get this."
"Uncle Wang, what! My grandma put laundry detergent instead of salt in the pot to stew ribs again? What? She poured in a whole bag of detergent? My house is full of bubbles now? Uncle Wang, please keep an eye on my grandma and don't let her drink the soup. I'll rush back now!"
Hanging up the phone, the bespectacled man looked at Xu Mo apologetically.
"Sorry buddy something came up at home I gotta rush back. I'll pay back what I owe you next time!"
With that said, he left hurriedly without even waiting for Xu Mo's reply.
After the bespectacled man left, Xu Mo looked at his watch.
There were only 50 seconds left before the agreed time of 3:15.
In these last 50 seconds, Xu Mo was observing.
He imprinted in detail into his mind the display case containing the sapphire and the surrounding scene.
So he could more easily act later.
50...
49...
...
3...
2...
1!
3:15, the agreed time.
At that moment, an incident occurred in the large exhibition hall.
In just an instant, darkness engulfed every corner of the exhibition hall.
The brightly lit exhibition hall just a second ago.
Now, one couldn't see five fingers in front of their face.
The sudden darkness caught everyone off guard.
Some people screamed.
Others said in trembling voices, "Wha...what's going on? Am I...blind?"
Of course he wasn't blind.
Rather, there was a problem with the venue's wiring.
Almost all electronic devices in the venue, including lights and surveillance cameras, completely failed.
The only thing that didn't fail was some emergency exit lighting extending from the exits.
The darkness only lasted less than 10 seconds before the emergency lights turned on.
The reason the emergency lights still worked was their working principle was different from other lights. This type has two power supply modes.
Normally it runs on external power supply, but switches to battery power when the electricity is cut, providing illumination.
This type of lights are usually installed on walls, extending all the way to exits.
So that in case of emergencies when the circuits fail, they can still provide lighting to help people find their way out following the lights.
However the illumination the emergency lights provide is very weak, especially compared to the exhibition venue lights.
They simply can't light up the whole venue, especially the center area.
The venue center was still pitch black.
But even weak light can dispel people's fear of darkness in extreme darkness.
At this time, no one was screaming in fear anymore.
No one doubted they suddenly went blind because they couldn't see either.
The chaotic scene also stabilized as people remembered the emergency lighting.
"What's going on? Was it a power failure?"
"Scared me to death, when will the power be back?"
"Fxxk...I really thought I went blind just now, damn it!"
...
Just then, a voice came from the crowd.
"Could there be a fire? I heard that when a sudden fire occurs, they'll cut power to the entire place to prevent the fire and electrical fires spreading, leaving only emergency lighting."
As soon as this was said, the just stabilized situation became chaotic again.
"Fire???Shxt, where's the fire?"
"I don't see any fire, that's bullshxt right? We'd see fire clearly in this darkness."
"Who cares whether you can see fire or not, just because you can't see it doesn't mean there isn't one. What if other places caught fire?"
"Right, even though we don't see flames here, that doesn't mean fires haven't started elsewhere that could spread here soon."
"In that case, let's make an orderly exit along the emergency lighting before the fire reaches here!"
"..."
Although no visible fire source, that doesn't mean there isn't actually a fire. What if elsewhere has already caught fire?
Also luckily no fire source in sight. So people began exiting in an orderly manner.
Soon several hundred people had orderly evacuated the exhibition hall.
