Ace crouched down, eyeing the motionless girl.
"Is she… playing dead?"
He poked her lightly with a stick.
No response.
After confirming that she was breathing but unconscious, he circled around her, tilting his head in mild curiosity.
Losing interest, he turned his attention to the surroundings—only to freeze. "...Wow."
His brows furrowed as he took in the scene. How the fk did this land get a downgrade?
Ace glanced at where he stood as he realised he was a few feet below ground level.
His face twisted in disbelief.
"...Xiao Wuzi."
A deep sigh left his lips. "Did he try to punch his way into the system space? Or did he set up some kind of trap…?"
Either way, this wasn't normal. His eyes flicked back to the petite girl lying motionless.
"Or was this... her doing?" he muttered under his breath.
Then, shaking his head, he sighed. "I'm pretty sure this should be illegal where I'm from… but whatever."
