Origin Story
夜幕降临，小镇笼罩在一片寂静之中。只有偶尔几声狗吠打破了这份宁静。突然，一个身影鬼鬼祟祟地出现在街道上，他戴着帽子，衣领高高竖起，遮挡住了大半张脸，手里紧紧攥着一个包裹。他行走匆忙，不时地东张西望，像是害怕被人发现一样。他的形迹太过可疑，引起了路边巡逻的卫兵的注意。卫兵们立刻上前盘查，最终发现他包裹里藏着的是偷盗来的财物。
As night fell, a quiet stillness enveloped the small town. Only the occasional dog bark broke the silence. Suddenly, a figure appeared furtively on the street. He wore a hat, his collar turned up high, obscuring most of his face, and he clutched a package tightly in his hand. He walked hurriedly, constantly looking around, as if afraid of being discovered. His suspicious behavior attracted the attention of the patrolling guards on the side of the road. The guards immediately stopped him for questioning, and eventually discovered that his package contained stolen goods.
