Background

Xia Zhi was a prominent student at Heavenly Listening University and possessed the rare Lv.3 ability [Spatial Leap]. Although her talent and academic record could have led to a corporate executive or government career, she chose to join the Patrol Bureau because she wanted to protect civilians and bring criminals to justice. 13

As captain of C-112, Xia Zhi was initially assigned to a District D superpowered murder case. Higher authorities replaced her team with a secretive special task force, denied her access to the case information, and left the task force praying before an idol rather than pursuing the murderer. Xia Zhi remained determined to solve the case despite the obstruction. 13 15

Appearance

Known at Heavenly Listening University as an “icy beauty,” Xia Zhi has smooth hair and typically works in tactical gloves. Her gloved hands are slender but visibly strong from rigorous training. 13 14

• Wears Patrol Bureau tactical gear while on duty.
• Uses arcade tokens as spatial coordinates when activating her ability. 13 14

Personality

Xia Zhi is principled, direct, and strongly motivated by justice. She is willing to challenge bureaucratic secrecy and risk disciplinary consequences when she believes an unresolved case endangers civilians. 13 15

Her professionalism does not prevent her from showing warmth toward trustworthy people. After confirming Ron’s late awakening, she helps update his ability registration, secures his Good Citizen Medal application, and repeatedly attempts to recruit him to Heavenly Listening University. 14 15 23

She is also an efficient field leader. During the District D school attack, she rapidly divided C-112 into rescue, evacuation, and combat units despite lacking reinforcements. 39

Abilities & Skills

Spatial Leap

Xia Zhi is a Lv.3 spatial ability user who establishes coordinates with arcade tokens and numerical calculations before teleporting herself, allies, or objects. 13 14

• Teleports herself directly to emergency scenes without waiting for authorization or equipment. 13
• Transports evidence, including bodies and ashes, back to the Patrol Bureau. 14
• Moves C-112 as a group across District D through prepared spatial coordinates. 38
• Relocates objects into enemies’ bodies and uses spatial cuts to sever Void monsters’ limbs. 39
• Can teleport herself behind targets for close-range attacks. 39
• Repeatedly using her ability against Void monsters rapidly exhausts her Personal Reality; their influence can partially collapse or interfere with her power. 39

Investigation

Xia Zhi has strong investigative instincts and does not accept convenient explanations without evidence.

• Noticed that identical clone “suicides” were likely a diversion intended to draw the Patrol Bureau away from the school attack. 38
• Connected the transformed students at the school to a possible biological experiment after Ron identified their uniforms. 39
• Remained suspicious when forensics attributed two incidents with similar unknown ability interference to a single mutated criminal. 15

Command and Law Enforcement

As C-112’s captain, Xia Zhi directs field operations and follows formal escalation procedures.

• Assigns specialized rescue, evacuation, restraint, and combat roles during emergencies. 39
• Issues formal lethal-force warnings before engaging hostile monsters. 39
• Recruits promising personnel by explaining the Patrol Bureau’s credits, merits, allowances, and access to computational Authority. 39

Equipment

• Arcade tokens — used to establish spatial coordinates for teleportation. 13 14 38
• Patrol Bureau pager — used to coordinate C-112 and request emergency assistance. 39
• Tactical gloves and Patrol Bureau gear — standard equipment used during field operations. 14

Story Role

Serial-Murder Investigation

After receiving Ron’s message, Xia Zhi immediately traced his location and teleported to the District D alley. She arrived in time to witness Ron defeat the wanted Fire Control murderer, initially suspecting that Ron himself might be involved in the earlier murder case. 13 14

She investigated his abnormal power, confirmed that it had mutated from his registered Telekinesis, and had his ability record updated. Once convinced he was a late-awakening Raw Stone, she brought the evidence back to the Patrol Bureau and helped seek formal recognition for his actions. 14 15

Good Citizen Medal

Xia Zhi used her influence and points to support Ron’s application for a Good Citizen Medal rather than an ordinary bravery award. She later delivered the medal personally, explaining that its identity chip could provide preferential treatment and may help counter unfair advantages in the College Entrance Exam. 15 23

District D School Incident

When District D was overwhelmed by clone deaths and emergency calls, Xia Zhi identified the incidents as a probable diversion and redirected C-112 to Ron’s former high school. There, she recognized that space above the school was beginning to rupture. 38

She led the response against the Void monsters, but their ability-suppressing influence exhausted her Personal Reality. Ron rescued her from an ambush and later used an Ability Amplifier to eliminate the Minotaur-like creature emerging from the Void. 39

Recruitment of Ron

Impressed by Ron’s ability, combat performance, and College Entrance Exam first-place result, Xia Zhi offered him a place in the Patrol Bureau. He accepted immediately after learning that missions could earn credits toward computational Authority. 39

Xia Zhi subsequently sponsored his official recruitment into C-112, guided him through Patrol Bureau procedures, and helped him seek work connected to the forensics department and underground morgue. 44 45

Relationships

• Ron — Initially treated as a possible suspect in a superpowered murder case; later became a trusted civilian ally, C-112 recruit, and the recipient of her support and recruitment efforts. 13 14 23 39 45
• Ji Jin (C02) — C-112 squadmate. They investigated the clone deaths together before Xia Zhi redirected the team to the school attack; Ji Jin handled emergency rescue work during the incident. 38 39
• C-112 Discipline Patrol — Her squad, which she commands during major emergencies and divides into specialized response units. 39
• Special task force — A secretive higher-authority unit that removed C-112 from the serial-murder investigation. Xia Zhi considers them obstructive and suspicious because they prayed before an idol instead of investigating. 13 15
• District D Patrol Bureau Director — Her superior. Though unable to overturn higher orders, he accepted her request to submit Ron’s Good Citizen Medal application. 15
