When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 39: Chapter 39: The Invisible Man

A series of guesses gradually connected together in Xiang Beifei's mind.

But for now, these were just guesses, with no way to confirm them.

Xiang Beifei needed to consider one thing—if his conjecture was correct.

How should he relay this matter to Lu Hong?

It would be impossible for Xiang Beifei to directly say the person was Chen Gang; Lu Hong wouldn't believe him, and neither would others trust the words of an unfounded high school student.

After all, in this world, only he could see other people's systems.

Lu Hong and the others couldn't see them; revealing it directly might expose his own ability, which would be too reckless.

Then just report this "Chen Gang" as "Xu Yang" to them.

Xiang Beifei stared at the woman who had already stepped onto the escalator. He nudged Lu Zhiwei with his elbow and whispered, "I see a suspicious person."

"Is it Xu Yang? Where?"

Lu Zhiwei immediately perked up.

"That one, wearing a red dress and high heels, she is heading towards the escalator to the third floor," Xiang Beifei pointed towards the second floor where Chen Gang was and said.

Lu Zhiwei asked quizzically, "The woman in the red dress and high heels... Xu Yang is a man, isn't he?"

"He's disguised himself, but I can vaguely make out his silhouette," Xiang Beifei said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiwei caught on.

"Where?"

"Over by the stairs."

Lu Zhiwei looked for a long time without moving and asked doubtfully, "Where is the woman in red high heels?"

"Right there! In front of her is an old lady, and behind her is a boy wearing headphones, she's standing between these two people," Xiang Beifei said.

"There's no one between them!" Lu Zhiwei said, "What are you looking at?"

"There's clearly someone there... wait, you can't see her?"

Xiang Beifei found it strange and ran over to Lu Hong, asking, "Uncle Lu, can you see the woman wearing the red dress and high heels?"

"Where?"

Lu Hong searched for a while but also couldn't see the person Xiang Beifei mentioned.

"How can they not see her?"

A multitude of thoughts flashed through Xiang Beifei's mind.

What went wrong?

At that moment, a little girl with ice cream walked by.

Xiang Beifei stopped the little girl and asked, "That woman in the red dress, can you see her?"

"Of course, I can see her, big brother, do you like her?" the little girl naively asked.

"I don't," Xiang Beifei replied.

"If you don't like her, why are you asking me? I thought you wanted to give me candy in exchange for me to help you get her phone number."

The little girl looked at Xiang Beifei with confusion, then turned her gaze to the woman climbing the stairs.

Xiang Beifei: "..."

Are little girls nowadays so direct?

Xiang Beifei shifted his focus back to that person.

Why can't Law Enforcers see this woman, but other people can?

Xiang Beifei looked at Lu Zhiwei and Lu Hong, and then at the glasses in his hand. He suddenly had an idea.

He had been unaccustomed to wearing glasses, so he had taken them off, while the other Law Enforcers all shared a distinct feature—they were all still wearing glasses!

Xiang Beifei quickly put on his glasses as well.

The moment he put on the glasses, that woman, in Xiang Beifei's eyes, had only a system interface left, and her entire being was gone, as if she had turned invisible.

He searched again for the introduction to the Thousand Faces Refined System, and under the system interface, he found another line of text:

[Ability: Can block any tracking device, making people unable to see (the user can choose whether it affects electronic devices or not)].

"No wonder."

Xiang Beifei furrowed his brows.

If this was indeed "Lai Wuying," that would explain it.

The reason he could brazenly pass by the law enforcers was because he had a way to make their high-tech glasses ineffective.

"Is this Chen Gang really Lai Wuying?"

Xiang Beifei grew increasingly astonished at the thought!

After all, Lu Hong had an S-class Investigation System, with extremely sharp observation skills, yet during this operation, he seemed to be led by the nose, having detected nothing and completely reliant on Xue Mo.

Initially, Xiang Beifei pondered the reason for this, but now he was starting to understand.

If "Lai Wuying" truly was an old friend of Lu Hong's, then he would definitely know how to evade Lu Hong's Investigation System!

Chen Gang had Lu Hong figured out, keenly aware of his investigative capabilities, which is why he deliberately chose the weekend at the mall as the place.

Because there were many people in the mall, even if Chen Gang left some traces, the ongoing stream of customers walking by could easily destroy the clues on the ground, resulting in Lu Hong's Investigation System being unable to track accurately.

If the outcome was as Xiang Beifei suspected, then this "Lai Wuying" must have an intimate grasp of the various investigative techniques used by the law enforcement team.

Because he was one of the law enforcers!

——

Xiang Beifei immediately tugged at Lu Zhiwei and said, "Take off the glasses."

"Take off the glasses for what? How can we find Xu Yang without wearing the glasses?" Lu Zhiwei asked.

"There's no time to explain now, just take them off—"

Xiang Beifei turned his head to look at the second floor's escalator again, but his heart skipped a beat.

In the blink of an eye, the woman in the red dress had vanished!

"Where did she go?"

Xiang Beifei rapidly searched his surroundings. This time, he couldn't even see the system interface and hadn't noticed where the other party had hidden.

However, at that moment, an urgent voice suddenly came through the communicator: "Captain Lu, I've spotted a suspicious person on the fourth floor, he attacked one of our guys!"

"The fourth floor!"

Lu Hong, who had been sitting, stood up abruptly and rushed toward the fourth floor without a word.

"Wait, he's not on the fourth floor!"

Xiang Beifei yelled after him.

"Xiao Wei, you and Beifei stay here and don't move! All units take note, meet up with Squad Four and myself, the other teams guard all entrances to the mall!"

Lu Hong was desperate to catch the suspect and did not listen to Xiang Beifei, dashing quickly to the fourth floor.

Lu Zhiwei too wanted to follow, but Xiang Beifei grabbed her just in time.

"Stop messing around, I'm going to catch the criminal."

Lu Zhiwei was rubbing her fists with a fierce expression, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the criminal.

"He's not on the fourth floor," Xiang Beifei said.

Lu Zhiwei asked, "What do you mean he's not on the fourth floor? Our people there were attacked."

Xiang Beifei shouted lowly, "He's creating a diversion. Just protect me for now, I saw the criminal on the second floor."

Lu Zhiwei was confused, her straightforward mind unable to comprehend Xiang Beifei's words.

He quickly realized that being just a student and rashly intervening in such an operation, the others would not believe what he said.

Xiang Beifei took off his glasses and searched for a while, and at this time, he saw a man in a suit emerge from around the corner.

This man in the suit was someone Xiang Beifei remembered as a member of the law enforcement team, named Wang He, with an R-class Detective System.

However, the system interface of the man in the suit read something entirely different:

[Host: Chen Gang]

[S-class, Thousand Faces Refined System]

…

"This guy, he's disguised as Wang He!"

Xiang Beifei's gaze became slightly more focused.
