Chapter 281

Shi Wuming's heart rate visibly accelerated for an instant, but this acceleration was naturally not born of fear toward Feng Mu.

A mere Fourth Rank humanoid Bone Posture would never be taken seriously by Shi Wuming, okay.

The only thing about Feng Mu that could enter Shi Wuming's eyes was his Bone Posture Report.

More accurately, it was the note suggestion marked in red in the last column of the Bone Posture Report — Life Source Fullness Overflow, recommend inclusion in Medicine Human inventory, scientific cultivation.

Shi Wuming has always been someone who listens to advice, especially regarding professional reports issued by the Group, usually choosing one hundred percent acceptance and compliance.

So, that day he immediately forwarded this report via Internet email to an old friend.

Although this old friend's strength could not compare with his own, the two of them had cooperated many times, and never once had any mishap occurred.

What satisfied Shi Wuming most was that, although in the majority of situations Shi Wuming only needed to provide high-quality "Target" intelligence without needing to act, in the final profit distribution the old friend would still choose to split the proceeds fifty-fifty with him.

This cooperation model of little effort for more money was precisely what Shi Wuming cherished and valued.

This was not only a mutually beneficial win-win in money, but also a manifestation of trust and tacit understanding; this cooperation model had always been the precious bond Shi Wuming yearned for and upheld in his heart.

So, that day Shi Wuming, right in front of Qian Huan, transmitted the email to his old friend via his cranial network card without the slightest hesitation.

Shi Wuming was not unaware of Qian Huan's regard for Feng Mu, and this was a bit against professional ethics, but these things were not even worth a fart compared to his years of bond with his old friend.

Besides, the Bright Group's task for him was merely to protect Employer Qian Huan's life safety; doing this did not actually violate the Contract.

Then, starting from the night before last, the old friend went completely out of contact.

The first person Shi Wuming naturally suspected was Feng Mu, but he had a guilty conscience like a thief, and could not take the initiative to question Feng Mu.

Now it was good; Feng Mu exposed himself face-to-face.

Shi Wuming felt a trace of sorrow in his heart: "Old friend actually fell into Feng Mu's hands, sigh, but old friend probably won't sell me out, after all his wife and children still need me to take care of them in the future."

Shi Wuming calmed his heart rate; he looked at Feng Mu indifferently, expression barely changing: "I've never heard of this name, what, did he mention me to you?"

Feng Mu stared at Shi Wuming without blinking; the other's expression was extremely convincing, truly as if he had never heard the name.

If not for the gift Cheng Gao bestowed upon him before death — Dynamic Vision lv3 — Feng Mu might really have been deceived by Shi Wuming's acting, fooled past.

Actually, Feng Mu did not suspect Shi Wuming at first; one, he was not an omniscient perspective; two, he had no grievance or enmity with this person, how could he think the other wanted to harm him.

Over the past two days, Feng Mu had secretly asked Sixth Senior Brother Wang Yu to help find a guy named Cheng Gao, utilizing the Ji Si System's resources and his own good connections, but no results had been found yet.

Unexpectedly, running into Shi Wuming today, the Blood Bar name above the other's head had actually changed slightly from before, letting Feng Mu himself snatch the initiative to solve the case directly.

Before, the Blood Bar above the other's head was Shi Wuming【1544/1544】, while today it had become Modified Human Shi Wuming【1544/1544】.

Feng Mu's heart suddenly cleared; he realized:

"The Blood Bar name displayed by 【Blood Bar Ghost Eye】 is not fixed and unchanging, but changes correspondingly to display specific categories or annotations as the information I grasp and my cognition change."

"Before, I knew nothing about 'Modified Human', so naturally there was no such annotation on the Blood Bar name. Now that I have some understanding of this aspect, this category annotation naturally appeared."

"In this way, Shi Wuming is likewise a Modified Human. He and Cheng Gao have become the only two Modified Humans I have encountered so far; could this be a coincidence?"

Feng Mu's face remained gentle, but in his heart he coldly laughed repeatedly:

"Cheng Gao, as the first Modified Human I knew, and Shi Wuming following closely after as the second. To say there is no connection between them, even a ghost wouldn't believe it.

No, that's wrong; Shi Wuming is the first Modified Human I knew; Cheng Gao was the one he brought trouble to me."

Although he still could not figure out Shi Wuming's purpose in wanting to harm him, Feng Mu had already solved the case for himself.

Of course, the evidence Feng Mu grasped was only the name on the Blood Bar and the subtle expression changes he captured frame by frame; neither of these could serve as evidence in court.

But fortunately Feng Mu is not a judge; he does not need to be that rigorous in presenting facts and evidence; he is just an ordinary Prison Guard, no one can stop his free conviction.

Whoever tries to persuade him is suspected of wanting to harm him!

Oh, you say what if he made a mistake?

Heh—

Observing Shi Wuming's expression, Feng Mu revealed an increasingly warm smile on his face, that smile not revealing a trace of malice:

"That's not the case; Cheng Gao didn't mention you, he mentioned another name, just that I thought you are also a Modified Human, so you two might know each other, who knows."

Shi Wuming said blandly: "Modified Humans merely rarely expose themselves in the Lower City's public view; but actually in the Lower City, the number of various Modified Humans is not small, so Modified Humans and Modified Humans do not all know each other either."

Feng Mu accepted Shi Wuming's explanation; he said apologetically: "I see, it was rash of me."

Shi Wuming's heart relaxed slightly; the next second, his pupils suddenly contracted — he did not remember ever revealing he was a Modified Human in front of Feng Mu.

After all, Modified Humans look mostly no different from ordinary people on the outside; normal human eyes cannot distinguish them at all.

He met Feng Mu's calm and gentle gaze, and for some reason, the question in his heart went unasked; perhaps he had already found a hidden answer.

Little did he know that Feng Mu felt the same, his own judgment growing even more certain:

"Your first reaction was to explain things to me, not to question how I saw you were a Modified Human, even though you don't know me—tut, and you say you don't have a thief's guilty conscience?"

Shi Wuming looked deeply at Feng Mu, no longer bothering to guess wildly:

"Forget it, whether you've guessed it or not, once this matter is settled I'll find an opportunity to send you to join my old friends; then I'll act personally, and you won't be able to escape even with wings."
