#264 - Chapter 264 Three Months Later

Three months later, in a remote mountain village in a neighboring country.

Inside a car at the village entrance.

"Fang Sheng, in a moment, I will directly transmit the words of these villagers into your minds."

Hearing Tan Zuoyin's words, Qi Jing asked, "Why aren't we using translation headsets? It's troublesome for you to relay everything sentence by sentence."

"Because translation headsets don't work well with dialects. They often have incorrect words and omissions, which can easily lead to misinterpretations. In the past, many people outside made mistakes on missions due to translation issues.

If I weren't here, using translation headsets would be fine, but since I'm already here, there's no need for them."

As soon as the winter break started, Tan Zuoyin pulled Qi Jing out to do missions.

It turned out that Qi Jing's grand ambitions and meticulous planning from three months ago were just talk.

When it came to actually doing things, he would only work for three days and then slack off for two. Only Tan Zuoyin completed the learning plan for all the courses.

If Tan Zuoyin hadn't been constantly urging him, he probably wouldn't even bother using the Cultivation Proxy.

"These things were mentioned in the Law Enforcement class, didn't you listen?"

Qi Jing laughed awkwardly and said:

"Hey, hey, I forgot. I wasn't listening carefully at the time."

Tan Zuoyin glanced at him helplessly:

"You were listening with me, and you can still forget this."

When she studied by herself in the library, she would always ask Qi Jing to come and listen, but Qi Jing would come sometimes and not others.

And Qi Jing almost never actively studied when he was alone.

So Tan Zuoyin knew exactly which courses he had actively studied.

It seems that studying together with her is far less efficient than using the Cultivation Proxy.

"I was too busy looking at your beautiful face to learn anything."

Hearing Qi Jing's words, Tan Zuoyin lightly punched him in the chest with her small fist:

"Are you blaming me now?"

"It's all your fault for being so beautiful that I couldn't help myself."

"Disgusting."

"You two, stop flirting in the back seat. Get ready to get out of the car."

After Tao Xin said this, she directly pulled out the car keys and got out of the car, which was filled with the stench of romance.

She really couldn't stand these two. Being with them was simply torture.

If she stayed any longer, this light bulb would get burned out.

Seeing Tao Xin slamming the car door, Qi Jing scratched the back of his head: "Oh dear, oh dear, why is she getting angry?"

"Isn't it because of you, you big pervert."

Tan Zuoyin opened the car door and pulled Qi Jing out with her.

This overseas mission they took required three people, and Tao Xin was already in the team when they accepted it. It just so happened that she was an acquaintance (a defeated opponent), so they temporarily formed a team.

Tao Xin looked around and said, "This village feels so quiet. I can't hear anyone talking."

"Everyone is in the center of the village, which is quite far from the entrance."

Qi Jing's Observation Haki had expanded its range considerably after three months of continuous use, enough to cover the entire village.

In his perception, all the villagers were gathered in the central area, and the aura on their bodies was weaker than that of normal people.

"Let's walk over there. We can't drive the car into this mountain pass."

This place was very remote. They had driven for a long time to get here. If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't far from the border and there was a Geng Dimensional Gate nearby, they wouldn't have taken this mission.

As soon as Tao Xin finished speaking, she saw Qi Jing wave his hand and make her car disappear.

"If this mission involves an esper, they might tamper with your car. It's better to put it away."

Qi Jing clapped his hands and took the lead, walking towards the center of the village.

Tao Xin followed behind and said to him:

"Qi Jing, you have quite a few skills."

"It's okay, it's okay. Not as outrageous as you, directly making people take out their hearts."

Qi Jing felt that among the final contestants in the New Student Competition, only Tao Xin's ability was the most outrageous. She could control people as soon as she saw them, making them dig out their own hearts.

A cruel bunch.

That bloody scene was simply terrifying for children.

Tao Xin didn't deny it, but turned her head and asked:

"Why did you two take this mission?"

"We were bored and wanted to take a mission for fun. We just happened to see it, and this mission just happened to need two people.

Why did you come? With your ability, it's not very suitable for this investigation mission, is it?"

In Qi Jing's eyes, Tao Xin's ability was to make creatures with hearts take out their hearts. It was extremely cruel and not good for controlling suspects.

Tao Xin said, "Me? I want to gain some experience for joining the bureau in the future."

"Joining the bureau? That's right, your ability might not be very effective against alien beasts."

Many alien beasts don't have a heart organ, so Tao Xin's ability is not very suitable for developing in that direction.

But it's different when acting against people. Everyone has a heart, and the profession is very suitable.

"Actually, my ability has another skill besides making people take out their own hearts."

Tao Xin explained:

"The real name of my ability is 'Let's Have a Heart-to-Heart Talk.' It has two abilities: one is to take out the heart, and the other is to make the other person tell the truth."

In fact, if she only had the first ability, it wasn't that she couldn't develop in another world, but with this second ability, it would be very appealing to be a criminal investigator in the bureau.

"Wow, that's a long name."

Qi Jing really didn't expect Tao Xin's ability to not be called "Heart Extraction," but such a long string of words.

"Actually, I also have a tool to detect whether people are lying, and that's this."

He took out the "Pinocchio Mask" that he had extracted with Yang Que as a reference from his space.

"As long as you wear this, its nose will lengthen as soon as you lie."

He hadn't used this thing since he extracted it and could only leave it in the space to collect dust.

Just as Qi Jing wanted to put it on to play with, Tan Zuoyin suddenly said:

"I heard the sound of mosquitoes flying. Why are there mosquitoes in the middle of winter?"

"This place is relatively southern. It's normal to have mosquitoes."

The geographical location here is more southern than most provincial capitals. Although the temperature is also very cold, it is normal to have mosquitoes.

Moreover, this is a deep mountain that takes half a day to drive to in a rocket car. There are many bushes and trees, which easily breed mosquitoes.

Based on the principle that if you take it out, you have to use it, Qi Jing put on the Pinocchio Mask and said:

"I am a big dumb pig!"

Sure enough, the nose of the mask on his face lengthened by a section.

Tan Zuoyin tilted her head and asked, "Strange, why did it lengthen? Shouldn't it have stayed the same?"

Looking at her innocent and serious expression, Qi Jing asked:

"Where did you learn this acting skill? If I weren't not a dumb pig, I would have really believed it."

"Huh? Why did it lengthen again? You are a dumb pig, aren't you?"

Tan Zuoyin lightly tapped her chin with her finger, her eyes wide, looking very puzzled.

"Stop pretending. Even if I am a dumb pig, you are still stuck with me."

Qi Jing took off the mask.

Tan Zuoyin couldn't help but laugh.

"Is it fun?"

"It's fun."

The light bulb Tao Xin watched them silently from behind:

"Can you two be a little more reserved? We are on a mission. Be careful and alert."
