The first of these traits, Fang Yue had as he was naturally a painter; as for the second one, he had been exercising it continuously.
So for today’s task too, he was one of the key players.
"Alright, since that’s settled, let’s begin," Jiang Shu nodded, and when he looked towards the others, they had already donned their masks.
The stern Wolf Face, the slyly grinning fox, the minimalist white No-Face—the other three mbers of Deception Group each had a distinctive mask.
Jiang Shu put on his own smiley mask as well, white at the base with the corners of the mouth turned sharply upward in black.
This was the first ti this mask would appear before the public eye, and he felt he would leave a profound impression on the audience of Thirteen District.
"Hmm? Hmm!" Fish Maid, beside him with wide eyes, looked at the others who were all masked, then touched her own face. She "hmm hmm" inquisitively, flailing her arms and dancing feet trying to communicate sothing.
But before Jiang Shu could reply, she used her tentacle to strike the wall beside her, then sared the white ashes that fell out on her face.
It only took a couple of monts for Fish Maid to stop, exhale deeply, and calm down.
She didn’t know what she had sared her face into, she just felt she was now like everyone else.
Jiang Shu, looking at Fish Maid who now had a unique makeup, felt sowhat helpless.
This...
It was the spitting image of a Native Arican warrior; suddenly, the style beca bizarre.
In the end, it was Fang Yue who understood Fish Maid’s intention. He raised his hand and drew on his palette a Fish Maid without a face; after thinking for a mont, he added a light blue mask.
The mask bore raised fins like ears and a few scales for decoration, unique yet aesthetically pleasing.
Jiang Shu recognized it; it was probably a Siren mask, suited to Fish Maid’s identity.
Fish Maid felt a sudden coolness on her face, and when she reached up, she realized a mask had been placed on her face. She leaped with joy, her tentacles waving unconsciously fast beneath her; she even wanted to hug Fang Yue to express her gratitude.
Jiang Shu imdiately grabbed the exuberant child-at-heart, feeling rather embarrassed.
Honestly, with such a cute creature joining Deception Group, the whole style didn’t match anymore.
"Fish Maid, we can start now; follow the original plan and get going," Jiang Shu instructed her earnestly.
And Fish Maid understood. She was simple, not stupid; she could rember Jiang Shu’s instructions with just one explanation.
Of course, like all won in the world, most of the ti, Fish Maid only rembered what she wanted to rember.
She leapt into the sewage canal and the parts of her that went underwater beca transparent, rging with the water as if they were one.
Jiang Shu looked carefully; the water around Fish Maid clearly revered her, with a ring of water noticeably cleaner than the rest circling her, and the true sewage lay beyond that ring.
It ant Fish Maid was intentionally keeping her body out of the sewage.
Then, she waved at Jiang Shu and the others before diving back into the water.
According to her, as long as there was water, as long as there were pipes, she could transform into water freely moving through them, regardless of the pipes’ size.
With this ability, Fish Maid was able to bypass the security systems of Sages Group directly and reach the president’s office.
"We have ten minutes; we need to hurry," Jiang Shu glanced at the ti again. It was now exactly 5:30 p.m., in perfect alignnt with the planned schedule.
Fang Yue started to paint, first sketching the sewer scene, then above it, an exit, while also imagining the scene beyond the exit.
To eliminate a wall using this ability, one couldn’t simply fail to paint the wall.
If you didn’t paint it, then what lay beyond the wall?
Just a blank void?
Obviously, that didn’t make sense. So Fang Yue also needed to know what roughly was beyond the wall—to conceive a perspective view in his mind, fill in the blank space behind the wall on the palette, and successfully erase the wall.
Their prior reconnaissance had been for exactly this purpose.
The group climbed out of the makeshift exit, finding themselves in the lowest level of the Seges Building basent.
Next, they had to rely on Fang Yue’s ability to quickly reach the security team’s location.
Within...
Three minutes, they needed to be in position.
