Chapter 472: I Will Always Be Daddy's Most Perfect Daughter

The television's light and shadow flickered in the dim living room; Feng Yuhuai sat beside her brother, cupping a teacup that had long gone cold.

Her gaze shifted between the television, her brother, and the camera on the chazhuo.

"So by Brother's standards, those two people on the screen still count as human, after all..."

Feng Yuhuai pointed her fingertip at the TV screen and spoke:

"I didn't see them eating people on TV."

Feng Mu did not answer immediately; he sipped his tea slowly, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed.

The tea had gone cold, carrying a faint bitterness.

Feng Yuhuai looked at Feng Mu with an innocent, expectant expression; she didn't understand what had come over her, she just especially wanted Feng Mu's approval.

Had she still possessed her reason, she would have dumped every secret buried in her heart onto her brother all at once.

A strong thought suddenly surfaced in Feng Yuhuai's mind:

"If I could eat Feng Mu, then every night before bed I could whisper secrets with him under the covers."

A red light flickered faintly on Feng Mu's lenses again.

Feng Mu finally chuckled, reached out to ruffle his sister's hair, and said with a smile:

"If no one sees it, does eating a person still make you human?"

Feng Yuhuai nodded and said very seriously:

"Isn't that right? Dad always taught us that way when we were little—if a bad person pretends to be a good person his whole life and no one ever discovers his bad deeds, then he should be a good person."

Feng Yuhuai paused and added:

"And Dad said everyone has a bad person living in their heart, but as long as we hide that side and always show our good side to others, everyone will like you."

Feng Mu narrowed his eyes; there were indeed similar fragments in his memories of his original childhood.

It was a pity that the original was not a good student; quite the opposite, Feng Yuhuai had learned well and was deeply favored by their father.

Seeing Imoto, under the Fraud Glasses, even blurting out her most honest thoughts from her heart.

Feng Mu asked seemingly casually, "So Yuhuai thinks... Father's words are right?"

Feng Yuhuai answered without hesitation:

"Of course, Father's words are always right!"

Feng Mu could tell Feng Yuhuai's recognition of her father was ingrained in her bones, and it was no wonder Feng Ju had always doted on her without equal.

He sighed long and deeply, filled with emotion:

"Yes, Father's words aren't wrong; it's just that some things are easy to say but hard to do—I can't do it. I only hope Yuhuai, you will always be Father's hope and pride."

Feng Yuhuai was stunned.

The brother who had always been gloomy and taciturn in her memories now revealed such sincere expectations.

A familial throb surged in her heart, and the desire to devour him grew even stronger.

"I will!"

She clenched her fist, her voice trembling slightly with excitement,

"I swear I will always be Daddy's most perfect daughter!"

Through his lenses, Feng Mu gazed at the red light surging around Imoto; he smiled without speaking and rubbed his eyelids, feeling as if the magatama couldn't wait to grow out of him.

As he rubbed his eyes, the remote control spun in his hand, and the screen switched to Guangliang Television Station.

Guangliang Television Station had made a big name for itself today, and its Station Director Wei Guangming was clearly extremely enterprising.

While other TV stations were still reporting the No. 8 Middle School incident in a perfunctory manner, Guangliang Television Station had once again stayed ahead of its peers, rushing to launch the special program "Truth."

Under the cool-toned lights of the studio, three experts in suits sat around a metal round table.

Behind them, eight scarlet characters reading "【No. 8 Middle School Tragedy Special Focus】" flashed constantly on the electronic screen.

This bowl of blood steamed buns that was No. 8 Middle School had filled Guangliang Television Station's belly.

Feng Mu silently curled the corner of his mouth.

The program's consumption of the tragedy was so naked, yet packaged so righteously.

He had to admit that Guangliang Television Station's Station Director was a talent, successfully attracting his interest.

The host's magnetic voice echoed in the room:

"Let us focus on the truth of the incident—where exactly do these man-eating monsters come from?"

His gaze swept over the three guests,

"First, let's ask Professor Zhang. As a renowned biologist, what is your view?"

An old man with white hair pushed his glasses:

"From analysis of existing footage, these monsters clearly possess group and humanoid characteristics; they suddenly rushed out of the sewer, summoned here."

He called up a segment of live broadcast footage, frozen on the image of 【Mask】, and beside 【Mask】's feet lay a huge mass of monster.

"Note this mass of monster—it is composed of those monsters. So I have reason to suspect these monsters were brought by 【Mask】."

"I completely agree."

The female psychologist in the neighboring seat immediately took up the conversation, her fingers painted with bright red nail polish tapping the tabletop,

"【Mask】, as an at-large serial killer, already possesses antisocial personality traits.

After gaining extraordinary abilities, controlling man-eating monsters and wantonly brewing a massive bloodbath completely fits his behavioral logic."

The third young scholar suddenly interrupted:

"Forgive my bluntness, have you all overlooked Dr. Zuo Bai?"

He called up another set of footage; the scientist's eerie appearance of wielding the Bone Snake was equally shocking,

"As a top scientist, he appeared in the sewer—isn't that even more worthy of investigation? And if we're talking about the ability to create monsters, the scientist is more capable, isn't he?"

The three guests spoke one after another, debating with sharp opposition.

There's basically no solid evidence in what they say, it's all free conviction, but the audience just loves watching this kind of thing.

Even Feng Mu himself had his gaze riveted.

The picture cuts opportunely to the Internet voting results: "Mask Brought Theory" supporters account for 81%, "Zuo Bai Manufactured Theory" only 19%.

The bullet-screen area keeps scrolling with netizen comments:

【It's definitely that murderer monster!】

【So what if a scientist reconstructs himself? Which law says you can't reconstruct yourself?】

【I've met Dr. Zuo Bai in person, super Gentle!】

【.....】

Feng Yuhuai was likewise drawn in by the TV, her Fingernails unknowingly digging into her Palm.

She suddenly discovered her brother's gaze was scrutinizing her through the lenses, and hurriedly squeezed out a Smile:

"These people are really interesting, clearly they haven't investigated anything clearly, yet they speak as if it's all perfectly logical."

Feng Mu himself gets splashed with Dirty Water, yet he's not even annoyed, but instead your own Imoto gets worked up?

【Your ill repute has received further confirmation, your Sin Index has increased↑】

【Your Inheritance Degree has gained a slight increase↑↑】

Feng Mu blinked, looking at the Subtitles flashing before his eyes, and asked with a Half-Smile:

"Can't be helped, the Media lives by their mouths, but instead little sister you think, who's controlling those monsters?"
