April 5, Friday, Song City, Vibrant Courtyard.

"This housing development is newly built, and occupancy is still low. We've prepared a fully furnished villa for you, Peiqin."

"Just finished decorating? Won't there be formaldehyde?" Wen Peiqin laughed.

"No way!" Jiang He laughed heartily, "We're old classmates, I wouldn't make you act as a human air purifier."

"Then you must protect this old classmate of yours."

"No problem, leave it to me!"

The two left the main road of the development, turned left into a bamboo-surrounded area with a pebbled artificial pond, a wooden bridge over the "pond," and many animals drinking water at its edge.

The villa gate faced this area directly.

"Not bad." Wen Peiqin glanced around, "Looks like a small courtyard fenced off, but why isn't it real water?"

"It can be changed if you want, but during the design phase, it was considered that incoming players might have children, and there's a risk of drowning if a child plays alone outside."

"Hmm." Wen Peiqin nodded, sighing, "Recently, player benefits have been implemented quite a bit."

"The shareholders have returned to oversee personally, so of course, those high-ranking officials, high-level players—"

{Please aim.} The recognition instrument prompted, forcing Jiang He to withdraw his gaze from Wen Peiqin, presenting his face to the gate.

{Facial recognition has passed.} The villa gate silently opened.

"Your information has been entered, but it's not an owner privilege, there's no {welcome home}." Jiang He laughed heartily.

"Once this mission is done, I'll be able to afford it!"

"The way you say that makes it sound like we're robbing a bank! Come on in!" Jiang He opened the gate.

After the house tour, the two sat in the living room, sipping on drinks Jiang He had prepared in advance.

"I didn't expect the support department elite this time to be you." Jiang He laughed.

"What's the specific situation, tell me." Wen Peiqin asked, crossing her legs.

Jiang He glanced subtly at her long legs and said, "It's very much like a zombie virus, but not quite. The Investigation Department and Criminal Investigation Department joined forces but couldn't manage it, so they asked for higher-ups' instructions. Old classmate, we're counting on you this time."

Wen Peiqin did not make promises: "The Support Department handles all the company's cases. There is indeed the situation of 'perhaps it's the first time you've seen it, but we've handled hundreds if not thousands of similar cases.' However, nothing is certain, the situation in the value game is very complicated, and no one knows what will happen."

"Of course, I know that. By the way, the operation is tonight, do you want to rest for a bit now?"

"Ah—" Wen Peiqin moaned miserably, leaning back against the sofa armrest, "I'd love to rest, but I'll probably end up looking at documents."

"Haha, alright! Then I won't disturb you, see you tonight! After the mission is complete, I'll treat you to a meal."

"Hmm, see you tonight, I won't see you out."

Jiang He stood up, glanced at Wen Peiqin again, lying there, her spring sweater perfectly outlining her chest curve, looking very soft.

After Jiang He left, Wen Peiqin closed her eyes.

{Confirm target, it's Jiang He, Skill: Madman's Disease. Facial features unchanged.}

{Received.} The sound of the door recognition instrument echoed in her mind.

It's said that all this is being controlled by a player whose Instinct is data-based.

After a while, the voice sounded again: {Action Time: April 5th, 20:00}

{Action Location: Song City Cloud Shadow District Heavenly Park}

{Target: Deputy Leader of the Investigation Department Field Team Seven Jiang He}

{Mission Content: Capture Alive}

{Target information has been distributed}

Wen Peiqin began reading the materials, which included Jiang He's resume from childhood to present, as well as known player intelligence data.

At 18:00, Wen Peiqin got up to shower, changed into a special material bulletproof vest, and clipped six marbles to her waist.

The first marble sealed a handgun;

The second marble was a grenade equivalent to 110 grams of TNT;

The third marble, a mini submachine gun;

The fourth marble was a talisman attached to the forehead, immobilizing targets with 'Ability' under 50 for half an hour;

The fifth marble, a flying sword, capable of auto-targeting, with considerable penetrating power;

The sixth marble, a spray dressing.

"An old classmate meeting again, a man and a woman, I hope it gets a bit thrilling tonight." Wen Peiqin painted six whiskers on her face with "lipstick."

She put the "lipstick" in her backpack, her sclera turned golden, her pupil color deepened into pitch black, and her nails became sharp claws.

Clap!

The air made a sharp sound as a black cat tail swung behind her.

Putting on a helmet with functions like bulletproofing, anti-toxic, and radar scanning, she turned and left the bedroom, grabbed another handgun from the entryway cabinet, tucking it onto her thigh before leaving.

The door opened.

The starry sky was brilliant, the air clear, the wind rustling the bamboo forest, like the whispers of a crowd of ghosts.

"This haunted place, I wouldn't live here even if you paid me!"

Heavenly Park is a public park with a lake where you can boat and an amusement park for entertainment. Of course, except for walking, everything else costs money.

Recently, the parking lot also added toll gates, and the spaces painted are narrow and small.

The main executors of the mission are the Investigation Department Field Team Seven, plus two Criminal Investigation Department players and one Supervision Department player, which is the standard configuration.

Wen Peiqin's Support Department is an exception—though this exception has become so frequent that it's nearly standard now.

{Intelligence shows the target will appear at Heavenly Park tonight, attacking citizens who go for a nighttime walk, infecting them with 'Madman's Disease'—in previous cases, infectors returned home, killed their entire family, and then committed crimes in their community. This time, strict orders have been issued to eliminate the killer!} The team leader stated over the voice channel.
