Chapter 226: Wu Yue’s Disguise Plan to Infiltrate the Town

Chapter 226 Wu Yue's Disguise Operation: Infiltrating the Town

Only SSS-tier items can be used remotely, with very short available time.

The lie detection is complete, Zhenzhen vanished.

Wu Yue remarks, "You don't look like you're dying at all. You could probably last another year at least."

Charles picks up his chair himself and says with arrogant earnestness, "No, I feel terrible. Please arrange for a healer to treat me as soon as possible."

Wu Yue, "..."

She summons a cherub, using targeted healing on Charles. After three consecutive healing skills, Charles is good as new.

Wu Yue, "Luckily, your spirit core wasn’t damaged, or you really wouldn’t have lasted this long."

The room goes dead quiet. Wu Yue turns in confusion to see Charles gazing at her with starry-eyed excitement, his eyes gleaming.

Wu Yue, "...What now?"

Charles, "Miss Wu Yue! To think you are also a noble healer, blessed with the sacred power of angelic healing!!"

Wu Yue, "...No, the cherub is just my item."

Charles grows even more excited, "Even better!! The item can even be shared remotely!!

To be honest, our Falcon has long been lacking a top-notch operator, a brilliant tactician, and a compassionate healer.

As it happens, you perfectly fulfill all these conditions!

Miss Wu Yue, I wonder if you’d be interested in joining our Falcon!

Or, how about considering me! As long as you’re willing to join Falcon, you can have your pick of anyone in the entire organization—including me!

I, Charles! The ruler of Camorra’s strongest mafia syndicate, captain of the Alliance’s second squadron, the 7th ranked top-tier fighter in the Alliance’s overall combat rankings, God's own masterpiece!"

Charles’s deep blue eyes, high nose bridge, and cheekbones exude a wild yet refined and unrestrained beauty.

When those deep blue eyes gaze at you with affection, it feels as if the entire world is reflected in them.

Wu Yue coolly looks down, organizes the documents in her hands, and turns to leave.

Charles, disbelieving, reaches out dramatically, "Miss Wu Yue, did you not understand what I said?"

Jie Chen crosses his arms and remarks coolly, "Understood, of course we understood. Who here is deaf?

Isn’t it just you, this rotten cucumber, trying to sell your body to get Wu Yue to join you?

Charles, you should really check your own reputation.

Before the mating system kicked in, you were infamous as a playboy, dipping your wick everywhere and plucking every single one.

With someone like you, what could Wu Yue possibly see in you? What’s there to admire?

Your old age? Your skanky history? Or every HPV strain in the book you carry, with 16, 18, and 31 all being high-risk?"

Charles smiles, "Baldy, I think you’re just jealous of my extraordinary charm."

Shutting the door behind her to let Jie Chen and Charles duke it out inside, Wu Yue returns to the main cockpit.

Seeing Wu Yue, Wu Chong lit up, "Yue Yue, I heard Charles proposed to you?"

Wu Yue twitched her lips, "That blabbermouth Jie Chen."

Wu Chong, "Did you say yes?!"

Wu Yue shook her head, "No, I prefer someone younger and good-looking."

Wu Chong pointed at himself, "I'm young and good-looking, just turned 18, still in my prime."

The two exchanged glances, then grinned and started hopping around like little kids.

Shen Que suddenly spoke up, "Wu Yue, what's the word?"

Wu Yue snapped to attention, "Captain, my idea is to have Charles fake an illness and seek refuge in the town for help. I'll disguise myself and stay close to him, playing it by ear. Once we locate Long Xi's hideout, we'll notify the team to launch a raid and take them down in one swoop."

Wu Chong piped up, "I want to go too! Yue Yue, let's go together!"

Shen Que said, "You can't. Your usual loud personality and distinctive appearance make you easily recognizable to Long Xi."

Jie Chen came strolling over, "Then I'll go."

Shen Que shook his head, "You can't either. Your shaved head is too conspicuous."

A vein popped on Jie Chen's temple, "I can't go, Wu Chong can't go—don't tell me you're going."

Shen Que nodded, "I’m perfect for it."

Wu Chong, "You wear a mask every day and have white hair! You stand out more than any of us! You're the weird one!"

Shen Que fumed.

Weirdo? What weirdo? You're the weirdo!! Your whole family's weirdos! Clearly, I'm the young, handsome stud!

Wu Yue said, "Rex, Huo Jieming, and I will go. I’ve reviewed their files from before they joined the team. They’re from a southern survivor base far from here, never participated in large-scale alliance ops, and have Western features."

Shen Que turned to Wu Yue in surprise, blinking, his whole expression softening.

Shen Que grumbled, "Wu Yue, you’ve joined many alliance missions too. There’s a risk you’ll be recognized."

Wu Yue nodded, "Exactly, so I’m changing my look."

Hearing Wu Yue wanted a low-profile look, Chun Ya volunteered.

A knock came from outside. Wu Yue opened the door, "Chun Ya, what brings you here?"

Chun Ya worked up her nerve, "Wu Yue, I’m here to help."

Wu Yue quickly ushered her in, pressing her hands together gratefully, "That’s perfect! I just talked big but realized I have no idea what I'm doing! Really appreciate it, Chun Ya!"

Chun Ya excitedly whipped out fabric and scissors from her system space.

She asked Wu Yue, "Yue Yue, what kind of new look are you going for?"

Wu Yue gathered images of the women in Charles's circle and projected the photos to Chun Ya as holograms.

They studied them for a moment, then fell into silence simultaneously.

Chun Ya, "...Yue Yue, isn’t this kind of a big sacrifice?"

Wu Yue desperately scrolled through all the photos and managed to find just one modest outfit.

"How about this?"

Chun Ya, "But this is completely sheer fabric."

Wu Yue’s hand twitched, and she immediately cleared all the photos.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "Chun Ya, change of plans. Let me rethink this."

Chun Ya spotted a photo in the archive of Wu Yue dressed as Chun-Li with buns, on her way to the dojo, and suddenly had an idea.

"Yue Yue! I have a solution!"

Wu Yue turned back in confusion and saw Chun Ya holding a piece of black silk fabric with intricate embroidery and a bundle of silver-pink thread.

After measuring Wu Yue’s figure, a laser-sharp glint flashed in Chun Ya’s eyes.

"One fabric, one needle, one night—miracle incoming!"

At midnight, Chun Ya worked like a mad welder, wearing a bizarre mask and making crackling noises, while Wu Yue fell asleep instantly.

Around 4 a.m.,

Wu Yue was awakened by an eerie whisper.

"Yue Yue, Yue Yue."

Chun Ya, wearing the eerie mask, chuckled darkly. "Hehe, try it on."

Bewildered, Wu Yue slipped into the cyberpunk-style black-and-pink sweet-but-badass high-slit qipao Chun Ya had specially made for her. The silver-pink embroidery on the qipao all glowed, and an intricate pink totem was embroidered at the waist for a high-waist design.

Her hair was pulled up high at the back, topped with a sleek mechanical peach blossom headpiece doubling as an earpiece, with a dangling blossom containing a hologram camera function.

Once her hair was done, Chun Ya began applying Wu Yue’s makeup.

"The shoes are also cyber-mechanical. I had Bai Yi modify them—the heels pack built-in thrusters."

Once the makeup was done, a knock came at the door. Chun Ya, "It must be Bai Yi!"

The door opened, and Chun Ya went dead silent.

Wu Yue turned in confusion. "Chun Ya, what’s wrong?"

Unexpectedly, Wu Yue in her brand-new look met Shen Que’s gaze, who had come to deliver the shoes.
