April 5th, Friday, Songcheng, Banlan Courtyard.

“This community is newly built and there are not many residents yet. This time, we have prepared a villa that is already decorated for you, Peiqin.”

"Just renovated? There won't be any formaldehyde, will there?" Wen Peiqin asked with a smile.

"How could that be!" Jiang He laughed. "We're old classmates, would I ask you to be an artificial air purifier?"

"Then you'll have to protect my old classmate this time."

"No problem, leave it to me!"

The two left the main road of the community and turned left into an area surrounded by bamboo forest. There was an artificial pond paved with pebbles, a wooden bridge over the pond, and many animals drinking water by the "pond".

The villa's main gate faces this area.

"Not bad." Wen Peiqin looked around. "It looks like a small courtyard enclosed by a fence, but why isn't there real water?"

"We can change it if we want to, but when designing it, we took into account that some of the players might have children, and there is a risk of drowning if a child is playing outside alone."

"Yes." Wen Peiqin nodded and sighed, "Recently, many player benefits have been implemented."

"With the shareholders back and personally overseeing things, those high-ranking officials and bigwigs, of course—"

"Please align." The recognition device prompted, and Jiang He had to turn his gaze away from Wen Peiqin and present his face to the door.

{Facial recognition has been successful.} The villa gate opened silently.

"Your information has been entered, but it's not authorized by the owner, so there's no 'Welcome Home' message," Jiang He laughed.

"Once I finish this job, I'll be able to afford a place to live!"

"You're making it sound like we're robbing a bank! Come in!" Jiang He opened the door.

After touring the room, the two sat in the living room, drinking the beverages that Jiang He had prepared in advance.

"I didn't expect it to be you, one of the elite support personnel who came this time," Jiang He said with a smile.

“Tell me the specifics,” Wen Peiqin asked, crossing her legs.

Jiang He glanced at her long legs discreetly and said, "It looks like a zombie virus, but it's not. Even the joint efforts of the Investigation Department and the Criminal Investigation Department couldn't solve it, so we asked our superiors for instructions. Old classmate, this time we're counting on you."

Wen Peiqin did not make any guarantees: "The support department is responsible for all cases in the company. There are indeed situations where 'this may be the first time you have seen such a case, but we have handled hundreds or even thousands of similar cases.' But nothing is certain. 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 let out a miserable groan and leaned back on the sofa armrest. "I would like to rest, but I will most likely still be looking at the data."

"Haha, okay! I won't bother you anymore, see you tonight! I'll treat you to dinner after the mission is complete."

"Okay, see you tonight. I won't see you off."

Jiang He stood up and glanced at Wen Peiqin again. She was lying on her back, and her thin spring sweater perfectly outlined her chest curves, making her look very soft.

After Jiang He left, Wen Peiqin closed her eyes.

{Target confirmed: Jiang He, skill: Madman's Disease. Facial features are the original.}

"Received." The voice of the gate recognition device rang in her mind.

It is said that all of this was controlled by a player whose instincts are data-driven.

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

Location of the operation: Sky Park, Songcheng Cloud Shadow District

Target: Jiang He, Deputy Leader of the Seventh Field Investigation Team of the Criminal Investigation Department

{Mission objective: Capture alive}

{Target data has been distributed}

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

At 6 p.m., Wen Peiqin got up to take a shower, changed into a bulletproof vest made of special material, and then tucked six marbles into her waistband.

The first marble sealed the pistol;

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

The third one is a miniature submachine gun;

The fourth one is a talisman, which, when placed on the forehead, can immobilize targets with an ability level below 50 for half an hour;

The fifth one is a flying sword that can automatically lock on and has considerable penetrating power.

The sixth item is a spray wound medicine.

"An old classmate, a man and a woman, meet again. I hope tonight will be a little more passionate." Wen Peiqin drew six mustaches on her face with lipstick.

She put the lipstick into her backpack, the whites of her eyes turned gold, her irises deepened to pitch black, and her fingernails became sharp claws.

Snap!

The air made a sharp sound, and a black cat tail waved behind her.

Donning a helmet equipped with bulletproof, gas-proof, and radar-scanning capabilities, she turned and left the bedroom. Before leaving, she grabbed another pistol from the entryway cabinet and tucked it into her thigh.

The door opened.

The starry sky was brilliant, the air was clear, and the wind rustled through the bamboo forest, making a sound like a group of whispering ghosts.

"This godforsaken place, I wouldn't even stay here if you gave me a ride!"

Sky Park is a public park with a lake for boating and an amusement park for recreation. Of course, everything except walking costs money.

Recently, toll gate barriers have been added to the parking lot, and the parking spaces are marked narrowly and small.

The task force was mainly composed of the Seventh Field Investigation Team of the Investigation Department, along with two players from the Criminal Investigation Department and one player from the Supervision Department; this was the standard configuration.

Wen Peiqin's support department is an exception—but there have been too many exceptions lately, almost to the point of becoming the norm.

"Intelligence indicates that the target will appear in Sky Park tonight to attack citizens who are out for a walk at night and infect them with 'Madman Disease'—in previous cases, the infected person returned home, killed all their family members, and then committed crimes in the community. This time, the higher-ups have given a death order: the killer must be killed!" the team leader said in the voice chat.
