Chapter 120: This Villain Is Too Cautious

~7 min read 1,398 words

Could it be manipulated like this?

Having an older sister as a shield in front wasn't enough, they wanted another layer of disguise on top, and then counting 【Mask】, that's like stacking three layers of armor on one's true body.

How insecure are you, or has trust between people become so thin?

The receiver had already imagined Feng Mu as sinister and cunning as possible, but he truly hadn't expected that he still underestimated the other party.

Feng Mu was not only sinister and cunning, but also cold-blooded and ruthless, full of lies, and... cautious to the extreme!

It can only be said that the nickname 【Mask】 truly lived up to its name.

The receiver froze on the spot, near death, his brain cells were abnormally active, but even so, he completely couldn't guess for a moment whose name Feng Mu had used to replace him?

But he reacted, the email was edited and sent in his own name, so after he died he still had to take the blame.

Even more hateful was that Feng Mu might not have thought of this plan at first, the other party might have originally just wanted to use Feng Yuhuai as a shield.

It was himself who personally delivered the upgraded script into the other party's hands.

Instantly angry enough to want to die, dying without peace.

The receiver's eyes showed the desire to stab someone, unfortunately there was a Goat Mask in front of the She Mian, in front of the She Mian was an Niu Tou, in front of the Niu Tou was a hyena, in front of the hyena was a fierce tiger.

Just say it.

This person had already secured victory and listened to his own last words, when speaking there were still three people blocking in front, truly not giving himself the chance of "villain dies from talking too much" at all.

The receiver gritted his teeth and said: "Who, who did you change the name to?"

Gong Qi under the She Mian was itching with curiosity, he looked at the name above the data in the email, really wanting to answer for the little junior brother and resolve the other party's doubts.

People who are generally very curious and like to get to the bottom of things also like to explain the process of solving mysteries to others, which gives them great satisfaction in their hearts.

"The little junior brother's first 【Team Building】 is more interesting than the 【Team Building】 organized by previous senior brothers and sisters, Master accepting the little junior brother into the school is truly the wisest decision made in these years." Gong Qi was delighted in his heart.

If Feng Mu's system could detect teammates' goodwill values.

He would discover that 【Goodwill +1+1+1...】 symbols were frequently appearing above She Mian's head, this scene had also happened when Yuan Xidi was beaten until his skin was torn and flesh burst.

Feng Mu didn't know that his "full of lies" inexplicably hit the fifth senior brother's strange fetish.

He wasn't chatting with the receiver meaninglessly, on one hand he wanted to figure out where he was exposed to prevent it next time, on the other hand, he was using words to set a trap for the other party.

Feng Mu grinned, the dagger revealed its tip: "Want to know the answer, then you have to answer a few questions for me."

The receiver's face showed constipation, he understood he was led into a trap by Feng Mu, he didn't want to answer Feng Mu's questions anymore, but he really couldn't hold back.

Can't die with doubts, right?!

"Don't even think about tricking me." The receiver coldly laughed.

"Oh." Feng Mu smiled, "Are you sure you want to die with questions, then what's the difference between you and the brainless idiot on the ground?"

The receiver sneered: "Reverse psychology, humph!"

Feng Mu chuckled: "If you don't want to say, I won't force you, anyway the next batch of E Corpse Teaching friends will come for you soon, asking them is the same."

Feng Mu frankly admitted, he had not the slightest thought of torturing the receiver with coercion.

He was a very kind person, killing was quick and painless, he couldn't do things like torturing the other party before death, the key was, this method probably wouldn't work on cultists.

The pitch-black Area 1 buried earlier had already given him a sample.

Torturing cultists for confession had very low cost-effectiveness, better to guide them step by step, tempt them to say it themselves.

Lies, or the art of language, sometimes have more power than a knife, especially for smart people, and is the receiver a smart person?

Obviously, the content in the email already explained the problem, at least, Feng Mu thought the receiver definitely thought he was extremely smart.

As for the receiver's earlier "defecting to the bright side" move, forget about this plot, whoever believes has no brain, the headless mud on the ground is a lesson.

The receiver fell silent, he was still very devout to the E Corpse Teaching, but maybe the batch of support coming below wouldn't be, rather than waiting for them to come, it's better to...

As a smart person who thought highly of himself, the receiver could accept death, but he couldn't accept dying unjustly carrying a black pot.

This was more humiliating than killing him, it was ridiculous.

The receiver's teeth were almost ground to pieces, then he fiercely said: "What do you want to ask, I will only answer you one question."

Feng Mu shook his head: "No, you calculated wrong, it's not one question answered by one question, that's unfair, it should be, you think how many people will come in the next batch of support, growing how many mouths to answer questions."

Gong Qi was stunned listening on the side, amazed at the little junior brother's rigorous train of thought.

Under the Niu Tou Mask, Wang Yu glanced at Feng Mu in surprise, he wasn't curious about secrets, he just felt the little junior brother spoke very artfully, very much like himself.

【Goodwill +1+1+1...】 on the Niu Tou Mask.

Feng Mu extended three fingers, guiding step by step: "I won't take advantage of you, three questions for one, how about it?"

The receiver stared at the silent goat head, a nameless fear suddenly rose in his heart.

That mask seemed to become the incarnation of a demon, the twisted goat horns flickered with strange light under the dim lamp light, seeming to contain irresistible temptation.

"Okay, you ask." The receiver gave in.

Feng Mu extended the first finger, coldly said: "Where did you start suspecting me?"

Feng Mu carefully read the email, inside it categorically confirmed 【Mask】 was Feng Mu, but didn't explain how the other party initially suspected him.

For lies, suspicion is more important than the truth.

Feng Mu asked simply, but the receiver immediately knew what Feng Mu was asking.

He pondered for a moment, faintly said: "When you handed the Black Core to Black Face, you didn't show reluctance, that's not normal."

Feng Mu was stunned for a moment.

On the receiver's twisted face, a smug look couldn't help but appear: "Black Face said you like touching iron, the Black Core is also iron!"

Feng Mu suddenly realized, he truly hadn't thought he was exposed in this detail.

He sincerely said: "It's my acting skills not good enough, I've learned."

The receiver looked at the goat head with a complex expression, at this moment, he actually felt a bit "convinced" in his heart.

Don't fear enemies being smart and cunning, just fear enemies being modest and eager to learn, improving all the time... truly a terrifying guy, and will become even more terrifying in the future.

The receiver realized he lost to 【Mask】 without injustice, maybe his intelligence wasn't inferior to the other party, he even once grasped the other party's weak point, but in the end, why would the one dying be himself?

"I trusted my own judgment too much, was too arrogant, not cautious enough—I should have been more like 【Mask】..."

The receiver shook his head, no longer thinking about these things; reflecting and learning now was too late.

The receiver sighed, one hand in his pocket, the other, imitating Feng Mu's gesture, extending two fingers: "It's time for the second question."
