Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 879: 441, The Great Conspiracy



"Appearance is justice," this somewhat teasing phrase carried a unique persuasiveness at this moment. Although Bingbing wasn't easily swayed by appearances, she couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart looking at the gentle and elegant young man before her. Moreover, ever since "Perfect Escape" began airing, Lin Mo's various actions frequently lingered in her mind, refusing to leave.

Bingbing's sudden pause quickly drew the attention of the guest judges in the livestream room. The case-solving queen Jiang Jinsu, Pan Hongfeng, Di Renjie, and the sleeping Little Zhilang, these well-seasoned veterans had long developed a professional demeanor that resisted the influence of appearances. Although they were also surprised by Lin Mo's handsome look after removing his makeup, their judgment about him did not change.

However, the emotional writer Miller Christie was entirely different. Already quite appreciative of Lin Mo, upon seeing his refreshing and handsome new look, a mysterious feeling surged within her. The impulse of emotion quietly stirred, and a bold idea emerged in her mind: "Could it be that the show crew is intentionally framing Lin Mo? Maybe Mr. Clown never even met those two missing staff members." The more she thought about it, the more she felt this possibility was great, "Defeating the show crew's staff is supposed to be a good thing to increase points, so why would Lin Mo hide them and staunchly deny anyone entered his room? All of this is too suspicious."

In the Virtual Escape Pod, the elementary student Kudo was equally stunned by Lin Mo's transformation, his eyes widened, full of doubt he asked, "Mr. Clown, how did you... suddenly change like this?" Lin Mo, however, remained indifferent, as if it were a trivial matter: "Change into what? I didn't feel anything change." Kudo awkwardly scratched his head, stammering, "No... nothing, just feel that this way... you look quite handsome, much more comfortable than before."

Despite his verbal compliments, Kudo's heart was full of vigilance. He clearly remembered Lin Mo's obsession with the clown makeup, refusing to remove it even while sleeping. Now suddenly removing it in the virtual world must hide some unknown secret or indicate some special action Lin Mo was about to undertake. "Could it be related to the hint just released by the program crew?" Kudo pondered, "No, I must figure out what exactly he intends to do!"

With this in mind, Kudo forced a calm demeanor, smiling as he asked, "Mr. Clown, did you hear the new hint from the program crew? They said we should go to a university to kidnap a woman named 'Moon Beauty.'

At the same time, the internet livestream room was already lively and bustling with viewers speculating about Lin Mo's next move. "What do you guys think Lin Mo will do? I bet in anger he'll blow up the Agricultural University and abduct the woman!" "Art is an explosion! Honestly, I also fantasized about blowing up the school when I was a kid." "Lin Mo suddenly changes his appearance, there must be a huge conspiracy, this time he'll probably refresh our understanding again." Some viewers remained rational: "Just because he's handsome, everyone forgot what he did before? What happened last night, maybe he did even more outrageous things."

Another informed viewer shared a clue: "According to Detective L's investigation, this Moon Beauty is no simple figure, her father is said to have significant influence in the underworld." "Whoa! So impressive? Sherlock Holmes seems to have also discovered some information, saying Moon Beauty is not at school now, she will appear at the Agricultural University celebration tomorrow." "Based on the information the contestants hold currently, it seems Lin Mo knows nothing about this yet, he's going to have a tough time this time." "Really curious about how he'll investigate Moon Beauty."

In the Virtual Escape Pod, Lin Mo picked up the Mercedes car key on the table, avoiding answering Kudo's question, he just said indifferently, "Once you're full, let's go." "Go? Where to?" Kudo looked shocked, "There are captors everywhere outside, going out now would be walking right into the trap, wouldn't it?" He suddenly realized, his eyes widened as he asked, "Mr. Clown, you're not going directly to the Agricultural University, are you?"

Lin Mo nodded naturally, "What else?" "Absolutely not!" Kudo rushed to the doorway, spread his arms and blocked Lin Mo, earnestly advising, "We blew up the apartment and gas station before, the search outside must be extremely tight now. Agricultural University is in the old town, with detectives patrolling inside, and roads leading in all directions around it. Once discovered, we would have nowhere to escape. My suggestion is to first investigate Moon Beauty's situation and then plan the next steps, that would be the prudent approach." He paused for a moment and added, "Moreover, Moon Beauty is not necessarily a student, she could be a teacher or staff, maybe she's not even at the school!" Kudo earnestly laid out his concerns, hoping to persuade Lin Mo.

However, Lin Mo remained unmoved, expressionlessly counter-questioning, "Do you think staying here now is safe?" This question brought Kudo into deep thought. Logically, this place was the hideout for the BT serial killer, going undiscovered implied relative safety, with hidden paths around the neighborhood and the nearby Taihang Mountain to conceal themselves. But after they sabotaged the power box last night, once discovered, this place would undoubtedly be locked down, and they'd be just as trapped with no way out. Furthermore, as high-profile contestants, their discovery time could very well be sooner than others', leaving them with little time to hesitate.

After a moment of silence, Kudo finally conceded, "... I agree to go to the Agricultural University, but before you act, you must tell me the plan. Don't make rash moves until we understand Moon Beauty's situation." Lin Mo did not respond, he simply opened the door and walked out. Kudo gritted his teeth and followed suit.
