Skill 1: [I Can Even See Your Underwear Clearly]Within a three-meter radius, you can see all of a target’s abilities.
Skill 2: [Why Bother Hiding? Hiding Is Pointless Anyway]Within a five-meter radius, all disguise techniques, escape arts, concealment abilities, and transformation skills become ineffective. Invisible items, deceptive formations, and false-information barriers will automatically reveal their flaws. In your eyes, the world will return to its true form.
Skill 3: [One More Look at Me and You’ll Be Happy All Day]Permanently enhances all abilities related to vision (observation, dynamic vision, night vision, long-distance sight, etc.). The enhancement increases with usage and has no upper limit.
(Locked) Skill 4: [Open Your Eyes Wide and Look Carefully, I’m About to Call Out]A passive trigger skill. Automatically issues warnings when facing fatal danger, being observed by high-level ability users, or encountering important fate-related events.
What an incredible S-Class ability!
Not only could it see other people’s abilities and skills, but it could also expose every disguise and illusion.
Thinking about the countless strange powers that would emerge in the apocalypse, the Eye of Truth was simply too useful.
She still remembered that some zombies in her previous life had evolved abilities that could confuse and deceive humans.
With the Eye of Truth, she would no longer be easily fooled.
What shocked her even more was that the Eye of Truth could reveal gray, locked skills.
Although those hidden skills couldn’t yet be used, she had never seen anything like them—not even in her previous life.
Could her own Plunderer ability also possess hidden gray skills?
Had that private investigator seen her hidden skills as well?
With that thought, she activated the Eye of Truth and examined her own ability again.
As expected, there was now an additional line.
Skill 1: [What’s Yours Is Mine]
You obtain all abilities possessed by any lifeform you personally kill.
Skill 2: [Even Open Robbery Makes It Mine]
You have a certain chance to plunder part of the abilities of a lifeform weaker than yourself. The probability is random.
Skill 3: [My Things Are Mine to Do With as I Please]
You may freely distribute abilities you’ve plundered. The success rate is positively correlated with emotional connection.
(Locked) Skill 4: [I Am a Plunderer, But I Can Also Be a Guardian]
?
Sure enough, there was a fourth skill now.
I Am a Plunderer, But I Can Also Be a Guardian.
The literal meaning seemed obvious enough.
She could be a plunderer.
Or she could be a guardian.
But what was that question mark supposed to mean?
The skill description was completely blank.
What exactly did Skill 4 do?
How was it activated?
Even after using the Eye of Truth, the question mark remained.
Since she couldn’t figure it out, she decided to leave it alone for now.
Looking further down, she found another line.
Luck Value: 399 + 0.075 + 86
The 399 came from her previous life’s plundering.
The 0.075 belonged to Lin Tianrou.
The 86 came from the private investigator.
A one-hundred-percent extraction had only yielded eighty-six points?
Apparently those four people really did possess exceptional luck values.
Each of them had reached a perfect one hundred.
In any case, she decided to congratulate herself first.
She had acquired yet another extremely useful ability.
The only strange thing was that she still couldn’t see her own actual luck value.
Nor anyone else’s.
How mysterious.
What kind of principle was behind that?
After the excitement faded, a strong sense of unease surfaced.
Why was everything happening earlier?
In her previous life, abilities had only begun awakening after the apocalypse arrived.
But now, with ten days remaining before the apocalypse, Wu Xiaomei’s spatial ability and the Eye of Truth had already appeared.
There was even an S-Class ability.
Then there were the increasingly frequent reports of abnormal weather.
The military bomb shelter stockpiling supplies ahead of schedule.
Everything had diverged from the timeline she remembered.
Was it the butterfly effect caused by her rebirth?
Or had everything truly been accelerated?
Fortunately, she quickly regained her composure.
No matter how this life unfolded, she would ensure her family survived.
With that settled, Li Su continued looting the dead investigator.
Before long, she discovered three phones, a voice recorder, high-powered binoculars, a monocular night-vision device, two solar power banks, a tactical baton, pepper spray, a multi-purpose military knife, and a signal detector.
What delighted her most was a multifunction watch.
The watch didn’t even require batteries.
It was powered by body movement.
The timekeeping was accurate to the second.
It supported multiple time zones, was waterproof and pressure-resistant, and even concealed a miniature camera, walkie-talkie, and signal beacon.
It was practically the perfect reconnaissance tool for the apocalypse.
Weighing the backpack in her hands, she grinned from ear to ear.
The person Shen Jianchen had sent wasn’t a private investigator.
He was a walking loot box.
However, when she tried dragging the investigator’s corpse, her excitement immediately faded.
Despite gaining combat skills, surveillance skills, and the S-Class Eye of Truth, her physical strength hadn’t improved at all.
She was still the same physically weak person she had been in her previous life.
At best, she was a glass-cannon mage with zero stamina.
Her weakness was glaringly obvious.
Gritting her teeth until her face turned red, Li Su grabbed the corpse by the collar.
With tremendous effort, she stuffed the body into a black sack, hoisted it onto her back, and staggered toward her vehicle’s trunk.
Every step felt like walking on cotton.
The weight crushed her lungs.
Yet whenever she thought of Shen Jianchen, Li Dadong, and the others, she forced herself onward.
After finally throwing the corpse into the trunk, she immediately searched the investigator’s vehicle.
Inside, she found a high-performance laptop and a network switch.
Using her newly acquired B-Class Network Technology, she quickly cracked the password.
The screen was filled with photographs of her.
Leaving the villa.
Driving onto the highway.
Shopping around the city.
Even images of her inside supermarkets.
The only thing missing was the fatal confrontation that had just occurred in the forest.
“Good thing it wasn’t connected to the internet.”
Li Su breathed a sigh of relief.
She unlocked the three phones and located the account used to communicate with Shen Jianchen.
The chat history was surprisingly sparse.
Only the initial payment.
The surveillance instructions.
Every two hours, the investigator would send a photo and a GPS location.
Nothing else.
“The less communication, the fewer vulnerabilities.”
Checking the time, she saw that another two-hour reporting window was approaching.
She selected an earlier photo showing herself beside the lake and uploaded it from a location with internet access.
Then she used the investigator’s GPS tracker to transmit the same location.
No response came from the other side.
Clearly, her fake report had passed inspection.
She quickly cleaned away footprints and bloodstains.
Then she drove the investigator’s vehicle to a slope overlooking the frozen lake and released the handbrake.
The car slowly rolled forward.
With a sharp crack, it shattered the thin ice and sank beneath the surface.
The freezing water swallowed the vehicle.
Soon, a fresh layer of ice formed over the opening.
Within a week, the entire lake would freeze solid, permanently concealing this “perfect crime.”
Closing the trunk, Li Su felt an even greater sense of urgency.
She had to obtain Wu Xiaomei’s spatial ability as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the next time something like this happened, she wouldn’t even have a place to hide a body.
She spent the rest of the day driving circles around the city.
Occasionally she asked strangers to take photos of her.
Every two hours, she continued sending fake reports to Shen Jianchen according to the investigator’s normal schedule.
Whenever other people messaged the investigator, she copied previous responses stored on the phone and replied in his usual tone:
“On a business trip. We’ll talk when I return.”
Not a single flaw.
Her plan was simple.
Use the investigator’s location reports to keep Shen Jianchen deceived.
Then seize the spatial ability.
Once she had both the perfect alibi and the storage space, nobody would ever suspect her.
But before that—
There was something even more important.
She had already discussed it with her father and elder brother.
Tonight, they were going to the mine.
And they were going to empty out every last supply Shen Jianchen had stockpiled.
