Chapter 243 Brothers 7

Chapter 243 Brothers 7

"Oh... So, that’s the case here." Feng Bujue looked at the strands of blond hair between his fingers, and many questions were answered in that moment. "From my perspective, I am still myself..."

He extended his hands to look at his own sleeves and palms. It was undeniable that he was wearing the Joker outfit that he had made for himself in-game, and his skin color was yellow. When he lifted his eyes, he could see wisps of his black hair. He examined the strands of hair under the magnifying glass.

"But... viewed from the objective angle of this world, I should be another person. When the hair leaves my body, I will be able to see its real form." He placed the hair on the table and took out the small comb from his pocket. He examined the hair that was left on it with the magnifying glass. "Hmm... the tone, length, and hair quality are all the same."

Feng Bujue was in thought for about a minute. "Wait... at the start of the scenario, I only combed my hair twice. Unless my character has serious hair loss, there shouldn’t be so much hair stuck to the comb."

With this in mind, he reached for his hair again, and this time, he pulled harder. To his surprise, when he placed his hands before his eyes, he saw a large clump of hair, and he even yanked out the bloody scalp with some hairs.

"What the f*ck..." Feng Bujue quickly opened his menu. Thankfully, his Life Points did not drop. He channeled his sense and did not feel any pain from his head.

"Phew... calm down, calm down..." he mumbled quite nervously to himself. It felt like hair loss was something the man feared. He tossed the yanked hair aside and calmed himself down. Then he noticed something else. "Now that I think about it... until now, I have not discovered anything that resembles a mirror. Is it because the system does not wish for me to take a look at ’myself’?"

Feng Bujue’s eyes moved back to the picture. "Assuming that the kid on the left is the small person that dragged me during the introductory cinematic and the other kid is the character that I am playing, what happened to them for them to be in in this situation?"

He turned the picture over. On the back of the picture, there was a handwritten sentence. "Arthur and Andrew, my children, my love."

"So, they are brothers," Feng Bujue surmised, "Wait a minute... Arthur and Andrew..."

"This scenario is going to try everything it could to stop me from looking at a mirror, is it?" Feng Bujue shrugged. Then he opened the cupboards to look for things that might be a clue. He found more bowls and plates but no knives or clues...

"There has to be something of value in this room..." He looked around the kitchen and concluded, "There’s the oil lamp in the storage room and the picture, book, and magnifying glass in the study, so there has to be something in the kitchen..."

As he spoke, his eyes stopped at the plate of meat goo.

"Fine, then..." He turned the plate over, and the goo blobbed onto the table. Then he removed the plate and used his hand to part the disgusting meat goo.

He found purchase around a key.
