Chapter 26 fourth quarter

The beginning of this story is about a tragic father and son.What I want to talk about now is a special pair of master and apprentice. The special thing is that this is a pair of thieves master and apprentice.People in this business generally don't use their real names, and always use their code names to commensurate. Often in the end, they forget their real names and real names, and only remember their names.For these two people, the master's name is Lion's Head Eagle; the apprentice's name is Falcon. Gryphon is an old man in his sixties.Been in this business since I was a teenager.From a street thief to a Jiangyang thief, the theft technology has long been perfected.There is no lock in this world that he cannot open as long as it has a keyhole.It can be said that anyone's home, he can freely enter and exit like visiting the back garden.But until now, Gryphon has long lost interest in these petty theft.He is now the top spot in the thieves world, and he only picks difficult and challenging "projects" to do - stealing paintings, stealing treasures, and robbing tombs - every vote is a big deal.

Specializing in "big business", in addition to hindering the reputation of the king of thieves, there is another reason - the lion headed eagle is old after all, although it is still quick thinking and vigorous, but it is always almost 60 people. It is somewhat powerless to "live".Now he is planning to be the last one to make a big deal, quit from now on, take the money he has stolen all his life, find a paradise-like island abroad, and enjoy the rest of his life. Falcon, Gryphon's apprentice, is a twenty-four-year-old young man. Gryphon has only had two apprentices in its life.The eldest apprentice is his real favorite student, who has learned almost all the skills of the lion headed eagle.But when he stole a bank vault, he was shot dead by the guards on the spot.Gryphon was originally discouraged and planned to never teach apprentices again, but eight years ago, he met a sixteen-year-old boy by chance and found that the boy was a genius.Therefore, he almost rushed to ask this child to be his apprentice, and took a sum of money to the apprentice as a gift in an extremely unruly way.

This boy, of course, is now Falcon. Having said that, Gryphon is actually a very proud person.I don't know how many little thieves worshiped him with money and gifts, wishing to be his apprentice, but he rejected them all - except for the big apprentice he liked very much.Then why did this sixteen-year-old boy arouse his great interest? The reason has to start with the lion headed eagle. As I said before, Gryphon can open almost all the locks in this world.However, he is an old-fashioned person after all, and he seems a little powerless when it comes to some new things that appear now, such as high-tech electronic combination locks.

The current electronic combination lock is very ingenious in design.Passwords generally have six to eight characters. Apart from knowing the password, trying to guess what the password is is almost like dreaming.Moreover, the password is only allowed to be entered incorrectly twice, and if it is entered three times in a row, the automatic alarm system will be activated.Generally speaking, thieves are afraid to use this combination lock.Gryphon is no exception.For the first fifty years of his life, he always believed that the electronic combination lock was a minefield, or blind spot, in his career as a thief.But after meeting Falcon, Gryphon was pleasantly surprised to find that the boy could open the door for him.

This is because Falcon has an almost supernatural perception ability-he can sense the "number" he wants to know through his mind. To be more specific-a set of digital passwords, Falcon can "guess" what this set of passwords is just by induction.Of course, there are also certain chances and luck factors, and there is no guarantee of 100% accuracy.But he can "guess" correctly within three times, which is quite powerful. A person with this special ability is like a born king of thieves. How can the Gryphon not feel like a treasure when he meets him?What's rare is that Falcon is also interested in the industry of thieves, and is willing to join this industry as Gryphon's apprentice.This made the Griffin even more feel that it was God's will.

In eight years, Gryphon did not teach Falcon any stealing techniques, but used Falcon's special ability to cooperate with him to successfully steal safes and safes with electronic combination locks.Strictly speaking, they cannot be regarded as a pair of mentors and apprentices, but a pair of collaborators. But Falcon is a smart man, and he never takes credit for himself.He also knew in his heart that without the information about the Gryphon and the lock-picking technology, he might not be able to get close to the safes containing the treasures, so he always respectfully called him "Master" and obeyed him.This made Gryphon even more happy, treating Falcon as his own, almost as his own son—or grandson.

Lion-headed eagles are unmarried all their lives, neither wives nor children.He made his fortune by "craftsmanship", lived in a rich life, and lived in a big duplex-style house.Ever since he met Falcon, he brought the child to his house, where he lived and ate together.In the eyes of outsiders, this is a pair of grandparents.No one knows this is - a pair of thieves master and apprentice.On weekdays, when there is no "work", the life of the master and apprentice is similar to that of ordinary people.Falcon has the same hobbies as ordinary young people, surfing the Internet, playing games and so on.The old ones are just like ordinary retirees, walking birds in the park, playing cards and chess.On the surface, it is leisure, but in fact, it is through contact with different people to obtain various information-information worthy of their "work".

Recently, Gryphon got a piece of information from a bird friend that made him very excited.
