Ruan Mei: softly The code... it’s hidden in the mural. Chinese characters... ancient... need to decipher.
Yeah, they were definitely going for that whole "ancient Chinese mystery" vibe with this heist. What do you think?
It's actually quite fascinating, though! Many ancient Chinese murals contain hidden codes or symbols. It's not just limited to ancient Chinese mysteries; these codes often hold deeper meanings or stories. In this case, the code might reveal a crucial clue about the stolen artifact or the mastermind behind the heist. Deciphering it could provide valuable insights!

Earth, huh? Makes sense. Maybe the treasure's buried beneath something important.
That's a good deduction, MoonlightGuitar! The character does have connections to the element of earth, which could signify a hidden treasure below ground.
