Just a door away, a brutal murder was taking place inside the room, the sound of a crazed and repressed bitter laugh echoing.
In the corridor, it was eerily quiet, as if all the neighbors were deaf, sleeping soundly, not a single person being woken up, let alone opening a door to peek.
Strange, isn't it~
No, not strange at all.
This is the survival wisdom of the Lower City People; the residents of the shanty towns understand this well, especially when the ones occupying the second floor are Cyan Wolf Gang thugs, fierce and evil, glancing even once at them could lead to trouble.
3.25, 05:11.
This was the time displayed on the phone after recording the video.
"What's your phone number, I'll send the video to you as a memento," Feng Mu said cheerfully after seeing the corpse's neck completely mangled, only a layer of skin remaining.
Ma Wei, having killed Zhang Tong, seemed to have undergone a mental transformation.
"Boss, don't mess with me, okay? You keep it, sending it to me will give me nightmares." Ma Wei wiped his face, with an expression tinged with neurosis.
Although he was still very afraid of the masked man in front of him, suddenly he didn't tremble as much, feeling a sick desire to express himself.
Ma Wei was not good at analyzing his own mental changes, but Feng Mu thought a bit and roughly understood what was happening.
"Because from a hostile relationship, he turned into an accomplice and helped, his mindset relaxed, and because he killed his close elder brother, he started to get a bit sickly and dark, huh."
"In this way, the infiltration into the Cyan Wolf Gang is considered successful, and it might even be more useful than I imagined."
"Of course, being more vigilant is necessary too, after all, a dark pawn is prone to backfire."
Feng Mu put the phone in his pocket, deciding to back up the video after getting home, this was the opponent's lifeline, and he must keep it well.
10 minutes later.
Feng Mu sat on the sofa, while Ma Wei knelt beside him, skillfully treating and bandaging his wounds with medicine on the chest and wrist.
In the past, Ma Wei used to do this for Brother Tong.
Feng Mu was expressionless, his peripheral vision noticed the still-warm corpse on the floor, its ghostly white eyes glaring angrily.
It felt like a perverse déjà vu of affronting the deceased husband, no, wait, it was the surviving wife.....
The medicinal powder was a secret of the Cyan Wolf Gang, with excellent hemostatic effect, bandaged with gauze and covered with clothes, it looked no different from outside.
Feng Mu thus dismissed the malicious thought of drawing some of Ma Wei's blood for healing.
He had already exposed a bit of the [Iron Eater] and [Frenzy Blood] abilities to Ma Wei, though the latter might not understand the implications. But, just in case, [Feast] was his trump card, he had to keep it hidden.
Ma Wei subconsciously touched his neck, unsure if it was an illusion, he always felt the latter's gaze occasionally glanced at his neck, sending chills down his back.
Ma Wei put away the medical box, tentatively asking, "Is there anything the boss needs me to do?"
"You're sharp, I like smart people." Feng Mu pulled up his mask, covering his face more tightly, and smiled, "I heard the Cyan Wolf Gang has gone crazy recently, looking for someone with a list?"
Ma Wei couldn't guess whether Feng Mu was asking casually or if he was here for this reason.
He secretly looked up, his eyes meeting Feng Mu's for a moment, the latter's pupils still had a tinge of red, imperceptible emotion.
Ma Wei was inwardly cautious, revealing everything he knew: "The gang suspects Zheng Hang is dead, the murderer is a student from Academy 47, so they're investigating."
Ma Wei didn't bluntly explain who Zheng Hang was, as it would make him look foolish.
Because, regardless of the identity or purpose of the other party, since they were asking about this matter, it was impossible for them to be completely unaware.
Feng Mu glanced at the not yet completely dried up corpse on the floor, then at the lizard in the fish tank, and finally at the stack of A4 papers used as placemats on the dining table.
Ma Wei quickly moved the plates aside, pulled out the list, wiped the oil stains off with a tissue, then handed it to Feng Mu.
He said, "I heard from Brother Tong, the list was circled by the gang's second-in-command, Ma Bin—Brother Bin, and the gang made many copies, with underlings mostly out checking against the list."
He continued, "Brother Tong wasn't prioritizing this matter because he was tasked with more important things by Brother Bin."
Feng Mu took the list, about 20 pages thick, each page listing around ten names, with detailed records of names, photos, grades, home addresses, and parents' occupations and citizen levels.
Feng Mu flipped through the pages, his eyes not pausing longer on any page, seemingly flipping absentmindedly.
In fact, he quickly locked onto his position, the fifth name on the sixth page.

"This must be firsthand information obtained from the school archives, all accurate and very up-to-date." Feng Mu's heart felt chillingly cold.
As he browsed, he casually remarked, "Why does the Cyan Wolf Gang assume the murderer is still in the school?"
Ma Wei disclosed what he knew: "Brother Bin deduced the murder occurred in the school warehouse, with traces of an Evil Sacrifice inside, and the sacrificed was also a student of the school. Whether the true culprit acted on a sudden impulse or planned it for a long time, it was most likely a student from the school."
