Also, as the highest Level person on the team, he took the initiative in taking away the disc that might bring danger.

The van they had all arrived in was left for Ant to drive, to quickly reach the relatively distant Southern City.

As for Jingzhe Xiazi…

In the dead angle of the parking lot surveillance, she picked out an unobtrusive locked vehicle, pulled off her shoelaces, tied a slipknot in the middle, then twisted the edge of the car door to make it lift up.

Then she slid the shoelace through the sealing strip into the car, caught the door latch with the slipknot, and by holding both ends of the lace taut, jerked it upwards, triggering the latch and opening the door.

After a smooth carjacking process, she agilely crawled into the vehicle, dismantled the front panel, and connected the ignition wire to the battery wire, successfully starting the car.

Having done all this, Jingzhe Xiazi’s expression remained cool as she moved to the passenger seat, tied her shoelaces, and said to Little Red Riding Hood, “Get in.

You’re driving.”

“Oh, oh.”

The gaping Little Red Riding Hood was stunned for a moment before coming to her senses, hurriedly sat in the driver’s seat, and frantically brought up the map of Shuijing City that Stack Soldier had sent on her phone, heading towards East City.

Boom—

The thunder continued, and Jingzhe Xiazi, who had finished tying her shoelaces, browsed the known clues on her phone with a focused gaze, lost in thought.

Perhaps feeling the atmosphere in the car was too tense, Little Red Riding Hood pursed her lips and initiated conversation, “Um…

where did you learn to steal cars like that?

Not that it’s bad, just that the way you did it was so crisp and cool…”

“Self-study online.”

Jingzhe Xiazi casually said, “It’s the 21st century, there’s all sorts of tutorials on the internet.

Interrogation techniques, weapon assembly, dangerous chemical preparation, explosive making, military helicopter piloting, art forging…

even building a nuclear reactor in your garage.

As long as you know how to explore and have the determination to learn, anyone can become a polymath.”

Her tone carried a calm confidence, as if speaking about something entirely ordinary.

“Uh…”

Little Red Riding Hood was taken aback and asked cautiously, “May I ask, what do you do in the real world?”

“Me?

Merely a sleuth, a genius, a grade eight mechanic, a top-notch chef, a prominent lawyer, a beauty blogger, a stock trading expert, an internet KOL…”

Jingzhe Xiazi listed a series of titles that left Little Red Riding Hood bewildered, “Of course, there’s also the identity of a player.

Heroes don’t dwell on origins, and rogues don’t dwell on age.

Becoming a player means having infinite possibilities.

That Lv7 Stack Soldier was originally just an Ordinary programmer, wasn’t he?

As for Ant…”

She paused, not continuing.

“What’s with Mr.

Ant?”

Little Red Riding Hood asked naively, then suddenly remembered something, “Hey, why are the two of us going to find Yoshikai Ryomi alone, and Mr.

Ant is going to find both Suzuki Kazuya and his wife?

Logically speaking, should it not be two people going together?”

“Ha, that’s because Stack Soldier has already realized that Ant is not a player of this Level, or rather, he does not seem to have the awareness and capabilities that a player of this level should have.”

Already realizing the danger of their mission and not planning to hide her own skills, Jingzhe Xiazi narrowed her eyes and explained, “Remember the rules of the Death Curse?

Things contaminated with Death Curse, including people killed by the Death Curse, become new mediums.

Earlier in the staff rest room, Ant first tested the disc and found it to be a medium for the Death Curse, then deduced that the folklorist Ishikawa had been infected and immediately destroyed the projector.

Obviously, he realized that the power of the Death Curse could enter through the disc into the projector.

If a TV station employee used the projector, they might be killed by the Death Curse’s power and become part of the grudge, increasing our mission’s difficulty.

To have this awareness, he’s either very smart and perceptive, or he has previously encountered supernatural events and knows the rules, or perhaps both.”
