Hidden Moth-Chapter 355 - 198: Whither Will You Go, Longing to Part Anew

The school wanted to expel her, and her parents lashed out at her multiple times, scolding her for not learning well and being utterly disgraceful!

But she didn’t care at all, as she no longer needed money from them. Her parents, enraged, eventually declared that they were cutting ties with her, and she really did lose contact with them.

Despite such a disgraceful record, the school eventually allowed her to graduate, and she received her diploma and degree. Rumor has it that a certain school leader was mysteriously threatened and had to grant leniency—after all, it was just a matter of a sentence.

The last mission Lan Jiwan executed was to assassinate someone abroad before the Spring Festival. She pursued her target from Sawa Country all the way to Wadi Country. Upon completing the mission, she happened to witness an internal conflict within a local fraud gang and encountered a person named Shang Yan.

Shang Yan looked strikingly similar to her, but died in the conflict.

Being a Tier Three Appraiser of the Micro Realm Sect, Lan Jiwan perceived similarity not in appearance, but in the contours of the facial features, especially the spatial proportionality, which was remarkably similar to hers.

This person had snuck across the border and left no records at the Eastern Country’s customs. She also carried an Eastern Country ID card and passport, while having purchased an identity in Wadi Country.

This meant that the Eastern Country identity of the person named Shang Yan was relatively clean, and even though she died overseas, no one would know, so Lan Jiwan casually took her identification documents and left her fingerprint for future use.

Upon returning to the Eastern Country, Lan Jiwan utilized the Spiritual Awareness Extraction Method to meticulously craft a fake mask. After numerous tests, she found she could deceive the Eastern Country’s security department’s facial recognition system, so she posed as Shang Yan in daily life.

She did this to elude Bitter Tea’s investigation, yet deep inside she felt insecure. The more she thought about it, the more terrified she became. Her fake mask could still be seen through by Divine Sense, and Bitter Tea also knew about her identity background.

However, she was unaware that just a few days after her return, the Huiming Shi Family faced an incident. Bitter Tea only had time to issue a final command to his subordinates to go into hiding in place, and then took his own life.

Based on her mission timeline, it seemed that, at the same time, He Kao also went to Sawa Country, and they might even have coincidently met abroad.

After recounting this experience, Lan Jiwan lowered her head and said: "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

He Kao: "Two questions. First, how did you discover the identities of those two thugs?"

Lan Jiwan: "Through the nationwide networked facial recognition system."

He Kao: "What! Weren’t those two already buried for a long time back then?"

Lan Jiwan raised her head, slightly surprised, and said: "Mr. Hidden Moth, you are familiar with the Micro Realm Sect techniques, but you yourself probably haven’t practiced the Micro-Entry Skill, so maybe you’re not too clear on the true abilities of a Tier Two Scholar and a Tier Three Appraiser..."

A Tier One Imitator of the Micro Realm Sect greatly enhances their sensory abilities, excelling in observing various details of objects, hence the nickname ’Thief’s Eye.’

A Tier Two Scholar of the Micro Realm Sect is nicknamed ’Copier,’ as they enhance not just sensory abilities but also possess respective physical control abilities, allowing them to accurately reproduce the details they observe.

Such people are well-suited for creating fakes, like paintings or calligraphy, excelling in imitation but often capturing only the form and not the essence. If this person is an artist, for example, Xiaowu’s master Zhang Yanfei, then it’s a different story.

A Tier Three Appraiser of the Micro Realm Sect, who has mastered Divine Sense—nicknamed ’Scanner’—achieves a qualitative leap in ability, able to imitate objects closely to the original with the Object Manipulation Skill and Refining Technique.

Although Lan Jiwan had never heard of the Micro Realm Sect before, and only just learned these terms, she herself practiced the Micro-Entry Skill and is a genuine Tier Three Appraiser.

Moreover, she has practiced various Applied Techniques, excelling beyond most proper Tier Three Sorcerers of the Micro Realm Sect.

Though not yet a Sorcerer back then, she, being deeply affected emotionally, remembered the appearance of those two thugs vividly, even unable to forget in her nightmares.

Upon breaking through to Tier Three Cultivation, she no longer needed to exhume those two thugs’ skulls and instead found materials herself to create two human face models, capable of even making expressions like blinking using Object Manipulation Skill.

Such models couldn’t deceive iris recognition because she couldn’t replicate the irises, but facial recognition systems don’t require iris recognition.

Where could one find a facial recognition terminal networked with the national ID database? It requires help, for instance from insiders in the police department.

Lan Jiwan tested the mask impersonating Shang Yan in this way as well.

He Kao, having received the Micro-Entry Skill legacy, also began cultivating the Micro Realm Sect’s Artifact Identification Skill, but since he didn’t formally practice the fundamental Technique of the Micro-Entry Skill, he wasn’t aware of these details.

He did know some Sorcerers of the Micro Realm Sect, like Wu Yanjun, but the other party never mentioned these things to him either.

More importantly, he had previously known a Tier Three Sorcerer of the Micro Realm Sect named Ye Liangcheng, but Ye Liangcheng hadn’t ’awakened’ to the abilities Lan Jiwan had, so He Kao never imagined such a thing could be done!

Hearing Lan Jiwan’s explanation, He Kao suddenly realized an important issue and hurriedly asked: "In this case, as long as you’ve seen those cleaners, you can find out their identities?"

Lan Jiwan didn’t speak, only nodded.
