Upon hearing the news, Xu Yuan hastily pulled the staff member closer. “Where is he?”
The others gathered around, intrigued by the fact that Tu Mi had managed to put Xu Yuan in such a state.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, remained seated, seemingly unfazed. He knew that someone as skilled as Tu Mi wouldn’t leave behind incriminating evidence.
The staff member quickly retrieved the surveillance footage and played it for everyone. Anticipation filled the room as they hoped to catch a glimpse of Tu Mil s true identity. However, the video only showed a figure wearing a helmet, making it impossible to discern gender.
Xu Yuan expressed his frustration to the staff member. “How is this any different from what I saw last time?”
The staff member hurriedly fast-forwarded the video and explained, “I showed you the wrong clip earlier. This is the one I meant to show you.”
In the video, Tu Mi retrieved a bicycle from the grass and removed the helmet. However, a mask obscured the face, leaving only the eyes visible. It was clear that Tu Mi was a teenager with an average appearance.
Xu Yuan exclaimed excitedly, “This time, you won’t escape! I’ll definitely track you down!”
Qi Shuo intervened and pulled him back, asking, “You initiated the challenge, and Tu Mi returned the Tears of the Ocean after the incident. You’re not in the right here. Even if you find her, what are you going to do?”
Qi Shuo’s words made Xu Yuan’s spirits sink. He had to admit that he was in the wrong. Even if he found Tu Mi, it wouldn’t change that fact or salvage his pride.
Xia Rui observed the screen and commented, “In my eyes, there’s nothing particularly distinctive about this face. I doubt I’d recognize it in a crowd.” Xiao Lei chimed in, “Could this be a disguise to throw us off?”
Xu Yuan considered the possibility, nodding thoughtfully. “That does make sense. Maybe it’s meant to mislead us.”
Qi Shuo offered a different perspective, saying, “Don’t pay attention to his nonsense. Removing the helmet makes the person less conspicuous. Last time, you didn’t have surveillance cameras here, so Tu Mi likely felt it was a safe spot.”
“Tu Mi can’t be that foolish. Someone capable of finding backup power wouldn’t make such a basic mistake,” Xia Rui argued.
“Everybody makes mistakes from time to time,” countered Xu Yuan.
“Tu Mi came prepared.”
Xu Yuan found himself growing increasingly perplexed as the debate unfolded, unsure of whose perspective to trust.
Gu Chen approached and studied the young person on the screen, feeling a sense of familiarity.
Meanwhile, Song Fan had successfully returned home and discarded her disguise. The bicycle had been discarded in a junkyard, soon to be dismantled, ensuring it would remain out of reach for the MD building’s personnel. Despite the MDT building’s capabilities, digging through a junkyard for it would be impractical.
After removing her makeup and the skin wax, Song Fan returned to her original appearance. While the MD building’s personnel might assume Tu Mi was male, Song Fan had purposely perpetuated that misconception.
Before visiting the MD building, she had thoroughly scanned for electronic devices and knew that additional surveillance cameras encircled the premises. She had no intention of overlooking any resources.
Just as she was finishing up her face cleansing, a call came in from Hua Yue.
“Boss, the competition rules have been announced. You need to log in and register now. I’m confident that you’ll take first place this time.”
Song Fan smiled at Hua Yue’s excitement and replied, “I won’t let you down.”
“But Boss, be cautious. The second-place player on your server has been accumulating points rapidly lately. If they sign up, they’ll be a formidable opponent.”
“I’ll keep an eye on it.” Song Fan ended the call and logged into the game.
She checked the server’s leaderboard and saw her name at the top, but the second place now belonged to an unfamiliar ID: Bluesea.
“Bluesea… never heard of this name,” Song Fan muttered to herself.
She clicked on Bluesea’s profile to review their battle record. Bluesea boasted an astonishing win rate of nearly 98%. Previously, he had steadily completed quests, but over the past two days, his points had surged dramatically, as if he had experienced a sudden epiphany.
Song Fan may not have known who Bluesea was, but judging by their impressive points and win rate, they were not to be underestimated.
This new challenge excited her. She had always been unrivaled in the game, with no one capable of matching her skills, which had grown rather dull over time.
With Bluesea’s arrival, the competition would definitely be intense and thrilling..
