Chapter 470: Feeling Like I'm About to Grow a Magatama
After organizing the rewards, Feng Mu went over his thoughts again in his mind:
"The top priority now is to completely control the prison and deploy the Base Vehicle as soon as possible. This isn't difficult; it only requires... this... this... finishing the last one or two steps to complete it."
He had simulated this plan in his heart seventeen times, guaranteeing it would be foolproof.
"Then, the urgent matter is to have a reunion dinner with the family, heh—"
Feng Mu got up from the bed and glanced sideways at the camera.
He had a strong premonition that this meal would likely be the last time the whole family would be together for their final dinner.
Feng Mu slowly sat at the table, his knuckles lightly tapping the damaged camera on the tabletop.
The body was covered in scratches, the lens glass shattered like a spider web, but the viewfinder screen inside was miraculously intact.
He flicked the dust-covered switch with his finger, and the machine emitted a humming sound like a dying breath.
"Let me see, what touching beautiful moments have you captured..."
Feng Mu muttered to himself, his index finger hovering over the play button for half a second before he finally pressed down hard.
The viewfinder screen flickered a few times, and then a striking image gradually lit up on the screen.
The background of the image was somewhat dim, a sewer maze with eerie light and shadows swaying on the mottled walls, creating a mysterious and tense atmosphere.
Feng Mu played the video attentively while skillfully taking out his phone to carefully record and back up this segment.
Although the video wasn't long, its content could be called wonderful; if put on the internet, it would surely cause netizens to go mad with reposts and likes.
The theme conveyed by the video was full of positive energy, telling a thrilling story of a pair of secret lovers joining hands to fight against an evil scientist.
The male lead in the story was charming and powerful, the female lead beautiful and moving, with lingering love elements between them, heart-pounding fight scenes, imaginative sci-fi settings, and cleverly woven suspense plots, plus exquisite and realistic special effects...
In short,
When the video finished playing, Feng Mu felt his eyes slightly warm, and a surge of indescribable emotion rose in his heart:
"Tonight I'm going to grow a Magatama!"
While Feng Mu was appreciating the love action movie with great interest, Feng Yuhuai was in the restroom carefully watching the live broadcast clips she had intercepted from the internet.
To ensure she hadn't seen wrong or missed any key details, Feng Yuhuai painstakingly found several videos from different sources, then tirelessly compared them back and forth, watching them over and over again.
The bad news was that she appeared in the video;
The good news was that she only appeared for an instant, and only showed one-third of the back of her head.
"This basically equals not filming me at all, that's great, it seems I haven't been exposed."
Feng Yuhuai muttered to herself, swallowing hard with difficulty, but cold sweat still beaded on her back:
"Wrong, the live broadcast didn't record me; it should be that segment of static noise where the network signal was interrupted, but that doesn't mean the hidden camera didn't record it!!"
Feng Yuhuai's pupils suddenly contracted, her thoughts racing like electricity.
She abruptly turned her head, staring fixedly at the wall beside her.
On the other side of the wall was exactly Feng Mu's bedroom; just now, she had clearly heard Feng Mu's footsteps returning to his own room.
"That camera, is it still in the living room, or has he already taken it back to his room?"
Feng Yuhuai quickly got up from the toilet, walked out of the restroom, and quickly scanned the living room with her eyes, but did not see the camera.
"Could the camera have been taken back to his own bedroom by Feng Mu?!"
Feng Yuhuai's complexion instantly turned gloomy, and red lines of anger seemed to flicker faintly in her eyes.
Her brain spun wildly, reconstructing the event context in her mind as much as possible:
"That camera is most likely the one Guangliang Television Station used for live broadcast secret filming.
Judging from the image finally presented by the live broadcast lens, it should be that Zuo Bai's self-detonation produced a powerful shockwave, smashing the secret filming reporter and camera away together.
That reporter might have died on the spot, or might still have a glimmer of life, but none of that matters anymore.
The key is that the camera just happened to fall into Father's hands, and Father seems not to have had time to check what content was recorded in the camera."
Feng Yuhuai's temples throbbed; she didn't know whether to be glad she was lucky or that she had terrible luck.
That damn camera was like a die ruthlessly thrown by fate, impartial, just coincidentally rolling into the hands of the person it least should have fallen into, and then was brought home by Feng Mu in a muddle-headed way.
But what was extremely ironic was, if things hadn't developed this way, how could she have had the opportunity to get so close to that camera?
"So, it should be fate's favor again, otherwise, the camera would probably have already returned to Guangliang Television Station by now, and I, who knows, might have already become a household name... monster in the Nine Districts!"
Feng Yuhuai stood at Feng Mu's door, her complexion changing for a while.
"What is Feng Mu doing inside the room? Will he be watching the camera? And most importantly, will Feng Mu also secretly become a monster?"
Her slender fingers hovered in the air, only an inch away from the door panel, but she hesitated for a long time without knocking.
In Feng Yuhuai's heart, her suspicion that Father might also be parasitized into a monster perhaps only accounted for fifty percent.
However, regarding her brother Feng Mu, her doubts were as high as seventy percent.
Otherwise, she really couldn't understand how that good-for-nothing brother could have such a different demeanor after disappearing for a while, becoming a decent human being.
After all, Feng Ju's progress could be said to be earned with his life, and was traceable, but what about Feng Mu? What did he rely on?
Feng Yuhuai put herself in his shoes; the answers she could think of were not many.
As her thoughts continued to spread, an indescribable fear like a cold tide completely submerged her, making her unable to help but feel spine-chilling.
"Inside the room, right now, could it be a monster wearing Feng Mu's skin, appreciating my true face as a monster?"
Once this thought surfaced in her mind, it clung like a maggot on the bone, impossible to shake off, the more she thought about it, the more she felt spine-chilling and heart-pounding.
However, strangely, as the fear in her heart continued to intensify, the smile on her face became increasingly gentle and obedient, as if a 【mask】 had also grown on her face.
A 【mask】 called 【Good Younger Sister】, and inside the room was his...
"Brother, what are you doing inside the room?"
Feng Yuhuai gently knocked twice on the door, then carefully pushed the door open, wearing the sweet smile of a good younger sister on her face.
Feng Mu was sitting upright at the table, one hand casually resting on that camera; he slightly turned his body, and with his other hand lightly adjusted those black-rimmed glasses.
His face also bloomed with a harmless scholarly smile just like 【Good Older Brother】:
"Oh, nothing much. I'm looking at the camcorder Father had me bring back—maybe we'll see some interesting footage. Want to watch together?"
