Chapter 950: "A Stealer"
Chapter 950: “A Stealer”
As a transmigrator, Ainsley’s mentality was good enough to survive in a world without a single person who knew her true identity.
In such a lonely world, she could keep a positive mindset, so how could this trouble stump her?
Ainsley even thought that if she couldn’t get her charm ability back, she might as well trigger a new charm ability.
Maybe this one’s charm would be stronger, who knows?
Thus, the baby led the people in the living room to read the related documents on their own phones or tablets.
After a few hours, the group finally concluded a few key pieces of information.
“Let’s see…it is said that if the representative color of a certain ability disappears from the energy core, it doesn’t mean that the ability is destroyed.”
Jake recalled what he read and was finally sure that Ainsley’s ability wasn’t forcefully destroyed.
If it was destroyed, there would be marks on the energy core.
Even when the core wasn’t damaged, there would be faint marks indicating that a certain ability used to be a part of the core.
But Ainsley’s energy core really didn’t have this faint mark, as if it wasn’t forcefully destroyed but disappeared.
Ainsley also paid attention to the word ‘disappear’ and had a hunch in her heart.
“Other data said that when one’s ability suddenly disappears but the energy core is fine without a single mark, it means the ability is actually…”
Ainsley paused before looking at Nalisha, August, Jake and the two sacred beasts with a solemn face.
“It means it’s actually stolen.”
Jake and the others were stunned for a few seconds before they realized what was going on.
“Stolen…? Someone stole your charm ability?” Jake was in disbelief.
He knew a lot of things related to ability users, but this was the first time he knew there was someone who could steal someone else’s special ability!
“Yes. Someone stole my charm ability. I think it is that woman in a hoodie.”
Ainsley nodded at Jake and the others before mentioning the two people who weren’t in the living room.
“Code-L and the Godfather are chasing her now, so it means once we catch her, we can force her to return my charm ability.”
The information in books and other media said that a stolen ability could be taken back.
After all, the stealer usually could only place the ‘ability’ inside their own unique space and could use it from time to time.
But once it exceeded the limit, the ability would return to its original owner on its own.
Well, what if the stealer didn’t use the ability at all?
A better stealer could actually sell their stolen abilities to others who wanted the power, and they could give the ability away!
This was what Ainsley feared.
“We have to make sure she can’t meet her customer, if there is, ” The baby added.
“I also think that she has accomplices so it will be hard to find her anytime soon. Dad, we have to borrow your influence to search the whole capital.”
Because of the upcoming annual beast and monster tide, people who could come to the city were only those with invitations or the forces invited by the big bosses.
Still, even these bosses weren’t allowed to leave the capital city, no matter what the reason.
After all, if the bosses were allowed to leave, they could leave anytime, and the plan to fight the beast and monster tide would be a mess.
For the citizens’ safety, they also weren’t allowed to enter or leave the capital city until the monster and beast tide stopped completely.
The capital city became a huge barrier that chased away wild monsters and beasts, but it also became a cage for whoever was inside.
“Oh, right. I also have a hunch that this woman is one of the individual ability users invited by the government.”
Ainsley told Jake her suspicion about the woman’s identity and recalled when the woman met her a few hours ago.
“She was around the inner city’s checkpoints back then.”
“Nowadays, those who can come and go around the checkpoints are only people related to the annual monster & beast tide, right?”
“Yes, you’re right.” Jake nodded at Ainsley’s words and slowly brought her to sit down on the sofa in the living room.
Nalisha, August and the two sacred beasts also followed quietly, each with their own plans and thoughts.
“Good. It means we can just focus on finding her among the invited guests.”
Ainsley’s eyes were bright as she saw hope for the first time.
Yes. She could get her charm ability back soon! As long as she worked hard!
“Right, dad, do you have a connection to peek at the guests’ list or something?”
Ainsley subconsciously asked.
She believed that Jake could have the authority if he wanted to.
But usually, Jake was too lazy to do this when he wouldn’t get any benefit.
However, it was extremely important!
Jake’s eyes lit up at Ainsley’s question, and the young man immediately fished out his cellphone from his chest pocket.
“I can do this. I have a wide connection, and oh! I can even see which guest has a stealer ability!”
The people who could steal other ability users’ special abilities were called the stealer.
Their ability was also called ‘stealing others’ abilities.’
It would be easy to find this person among the guest lists, especially when they already knew her gender.
“I’ll find her information now. Maybe we can assist Code-L and the Godfather.”
The two big bosses could pressure the stealer so that she couldn’t easily meet her customer or do anything she had planned.
At the same time, they could work on catching her!
