Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 36 - 33 Human radar_1

Catch with eyes open, ten thousand.

Catch blindfolded, fifteen thousand.

Gu Jun didn’t hesitate and chose the second option.

Being able to buy a house of over 300 square meters in a high-end area, the difference of five thousand yuan wasn’t much for Gu Jun, and it was worth it for the peace of mind.

Lu Yue also wanted to go into the office to see for himself. He was too curious, and his purpose for coming was to observe Feng Yi’s abilities. If Feng Yi could tell the difference between real and fake snake skin at a glance, it wasn’t impossible for him to have other extraordinary abilities. He needed to confirm it first before deciding how to approach and discuss business with Feng Yi.

“Sign a confidentiality agreement,” Gu Jun said. Although they were acquaintances and had collaborated in business more than once, the necessary agreements still had to be signed.

“Sure!” Lu Yue said.

This time there was no need for the complex twenty-plus-page confidentiality agreement, so Gu Jun had someone prepare a simplified version.

“Wait a minute for me to tidy up,” Gu Jun said, going back to his office to organize.

The scattered design drafts had already been tidied up before Feng Yi and the others came over. It was true that Lu Yue had said Gu Jun was considering moving out temporarily. He had a project to rush, but it was being disrupted here, so he had originally planned to pack up all the materials and drawings related to the project and move them out.

The models were covered with cloths, which was simple and saved the effort of transportation, especially for those big models, which were a hassle to move and also prone to damage during transport.

“It’s ready,” Gu Jun said, walking out of the office and looking towards Feng Yi.

Feng Yi first placed the long-handled clamp to one side and put on gloves, “For the blindfold, use yours.”

Gu Jun nodded. Of course, he had to provide it himself; otherwise, he wouldn’t feel secure. Like those magicians, the things they used might look fine, but props are props, and fake is fake.

The blindfold was a designer model Gu Jun had designed before, and a sample had been sent to him by the merchant. The designer’s blindfold was even bigger than sunglasses, like a mask, and had two monster eyes on it, with vertical pupils.

After making sure it was light-proof and that he could see nothing when it was on, Gu Jun handed the blindfold to Feng Yi and checked it again after Feng Yi put it on.

Assuring there was no cheating, Gu Jun was somewhat satisfied, “Do you need me to lead you there?”

“No need,” Feng Yi said, precisely picking up the long-handled clamp put aside, “Let’s go.”

Lu Yue stood in front of Feng Yi and waved two fingers, “How many is this?”

Feng Yi smiled without saying a word, holding the long-handled clamp and following behind Gu Jun to the office door.

Opening the door halfway, Gu Jun still watched Feng Yi closely to prevent him from peeking at his drawings.

Feng Yi didn’t care and let him watch.

After analyzing the air’s smell molecules, “Two,” he said.

Lu Yue raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Jun.

Gu Jun was also surprised. He knew without even entering? Guessing?

“Indeed, there were two,” Gu Jun said. “After the rats got in, I checked all the doors and windows in my office. The vents of the indoor air exchange system are all fitted with filters, so they can’t get in anymore, but it’s really hard to drive out the ones inside. Originally, there were three, and one was caught in a rat trap.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yue laughed and said, “It must be because you’ve been leaving food inside again. It hasn’t been long since the cockroach incident; you really need to change those habits. If you remove all the food, just endure it for a while, and you can starve them to death.”

“If we do that, I’ll starve to death first,” Gu Jun stopped paying him any attention and checked Feng Yi’s blindfold again. “Go on in.”

As Feng Yi walked inside, he said, “Who will take the rat-catching bags?”

“I’ll do it.” Gu Jun took out the two rat-catching bags he had prepared in advance.

Keeping his distance, Gu Jun found the perfect angle to watch and make sure Feng Yi wasn’t cheating. Finding the right angle in his own territory was all too easy.

The moment Feng Yi stepped through the door, Lu Yue had already launched the stopwatch app on his phone and pressed “start.”

Feng Yi moved inside—though not quickly, one could tell he had a clear target in mind.

Gu Jun’s office was large but cluttered with various items and documents. Feng Yi moved through a narrow corridor lined with files and miscellaneous objects, next to which was a coat rack adorned with small trinkets, tall enough for a person.

When Feng Yi walked by, he brushed against the rack, causing it to sway and one of the small ornaments to fall off.

Feng Yi caught it with his hand and placed it back in its original position.

Gu Jun, who had been watching him intensely, nearly popped his eyes out of their sockets, holding his breath with rapt attention, straining his neck to see if Feng Yi took off the blindfold. Then he suddenly saw Feng Yi reach out in front of the coat rack.

“Squeak squeak squeak—” A rat was firmly caught.

Feng Yi looked in the direction of Gu Jun, “The bag.”

“Ah? Oh! Coming!!”

Gu Jun walked over quickly, not even noticing the waste bin he knocked over with his foot.

“Is that it? Did you catch it just like that?”

Looking at the rat now in the catching bag, Gu Jun wanted to say more, but then he saw Feng Yi move to another corner of the office, pulling open the door of a side cabinet. A brown mass darted out from inside.

Snap!

“The bag.”

“…Coming!”

Gu Jun responded quickly this time, but his face displayed a vacant bewilderment, as if he was questioning his understandings of the world, his whole being emanating a “what’s going on with the world” vibe.

Lu Yue, following alongside, was thoughtful.

Could this really be… a human radar?

He could detect them even through a cabinet?

Lu Yue hadn’t seen clearly what happened with the rat near the coat rack; he only saw Feng Yi leaning in that direction. But with the second rat, he watched intently, his eyes fixed on Feng Yi’s trap stick all the while.

From the moment Feng Yi opened the cabinet to when he caught the rat, Lu Yue was staring, not even blinking, clear on every other move except when Feng Yi set the trap.

But it felt… as if the rats were just hurling themselves into the trap.

Of course, he knew that wasn’t the case.

Speed, prediction, timing—none could be lacking.

Lu Yue was still analyzing the scene he had just witnessed, and as he contemplated, he began to calculate the profits of such efficient rat-catching.

Feng Yi had already stepped out of the office, removed his gloves, and put the trap stick back into the box.

“I caught both of them, but I suggest you thoroughly inspect the items on the surfaces—fabric, books, especially things like teacups. Make sure to exterminate thoroughly.”

He was speaking to Gu Jun, but as Gu Jun, carrying the rat-catching bags, came out, he was still in a life-questioning daze. However, Lu Yue had snapped back to reality and glanced at the timer on his phone.

59 seconds.
