Chapter 127: Chapter 109 Technical Difficulty_2

"That house is not suitable for others to live in."

Feng Yi’s eyebrows arched.

"Not suitable? How is it not suitable?"

"You’ll naturally know once you go."

"Are you familiar with the place? Do you have any videos or photos or something?"

"None. After Madam Feng bought that house, she did not stay there very often. However, I think it should suit you."

Whether it suited him or not, Feng Yi had not seen it and did not know. However, the butler’s suggestion was indeed very good.

The winter in Yang City was indeed warmer than here, and although he did not require hibernation, he had just gone through an evolutionary turning point, so a warmer place would indeed be more comfortable.

He was also curious about the house in Luck Sea; one reason being Luck Sea’s historical aura, and the other was to see what kind of house his great-grandmother had left for him, and why the butler had said it would be more suitable for him to live in?

Of course, there was another reason.

Because the number of little swans that came here to overwinter and other migratory birds had increased, the relevant departments of Rong City made adjustments to the southern beach wetland of Yue Mountain and the riverside area.

There were a lot of people watching this area, and the swans were noisy every day. It was uncertain whether a swan might fly to the balcony to peck at the door; it was not quiet enough.

Having other options, leaving here temporarily was definitely a good idea.

Feng Yi planned in his mind and again pondered his own issues.

Once Yi brought back the camera, Feng Yi returned to his upstairs room to install it.

Initially, Feng Yi thought of installing the camera directly beneath the mark from last night, right in front of the head of the bed.

But then he thought it was not safe, what if it got kicked during the night?

If he could damage the structural layer of the wall with a kick, wouldn’t the camera break with one kick?

Therefore, Feng Yi adjusted the angle, shifting it a bit to the side.

After the adjustment, he still felt it was not perfect, so Feng Yi moved it to a higher position, about 1.8 meters above the floor.

Indeed, shooting from a higher position towards the bed, the view was more comprehensive, and it was less likely to be accidentally damaged.

The camera could connect to the phone and had cloud storage, but Feng Yi only used these functions to check its filming quality for the sake of adjusting the angle.

After placing the camera, Feng Yi disconnected it from the network. There was a storage card inside the camera, which he would switch on before going to sleep at night, and then he would check it the next morning.

Using a storage card in offline mode was a bit more cumbersome, but it was safer this way.

After setting up the camera, Feng Yi went to get to know the new employees better.

He had already gotten to know Jia, who drove the car. Yi was talented, and it was a waste to have him only as a life assistant when there was no work to be done. After talking with him, Feng Yi allocated some money for him to manage. Yi had all the necessary certificates and experience as a financial planner.

Yi’s commission was relatively high, but, as long as he had the matching ability, Feng Yi did not mind the high commission.

Of course, Feng Yi also asked Yi why he, a talent like himself, would choose to come here. Didn’t he feel it was beneath him?

Assistant Yi did not feel belittled at all, "This is an investment. I believe it will surpass all my other investments and give me a better return."

Bing was in charge of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and his cooking skills were indeed good; after eating a lot, Feng Yi could also order meals.

As for Ding, he accompanied Feng Yi in playing video games for two hours and went to the community’s badminton court to play badminton for an hour.

Both boss and employees calmly adapted to the first day.

At night, Feng Yi turned on the camera before going to bed.

He didn’t know if he was too anxious, but after trying to sleep for an hour without success, it was only when the familiar sensation of drowsiness hit him that Feng Yi fell into a deep sleep.

That night he had a dream similar to the one the night before.

He dreamed again of a snake chasing its own tail in circles, but no matter how it chased, it was always just a little bit away; Feng Yi watched in frustration. It was only a bit away.

Chasing like this, it will never catch up!

If it made the circles smaller, wouldn’t it catch its tail then?!

Stupid!!!

Making such large circles and with its body not being long enough, it couldn’t catch its tail no matter how fast it ran!

In the dream, Feng Yi gave that snake advice and strategies, but the snake seemed not to hear at all and continued to circle round, always just a little bit short.

Around two in the morning.

Crack!

The sound of something hard being smashed came from the second floor.

The room’s sound insulation was still quite good, but with the structural layer of the walls damaged, the sound travelled downstairs.

The four people sleeping in the room downstairs opened their eyes. Their sensitivity to sound was higher than that of ordinary people.

There had been some disturbance last night as well, but they didn’t know whether it was normal, so they first asked the butler. However, the butler said, "Don’t panic, he’s just dreaming," so they didn’t go up to check, and they revealed nothing during the day.

Dreaming, that’s normal. Isn’t it just that the noise is a bit louder? You’ll get used to it.

But tonight, the disturbance is even louder, and it seems something was broken.

This belonged to their group named "The Four Guardians"—

[Guardian Bing]: Mr. Yi’s room is noisy again! The disturbance is even louder than yesterday!

[Guardian Ding]: Definitely dreaming again! Could it be he didn’t play video games or basketball to his heart’s content during the day?

[Guardian Jia]: Curious what Mr. Yi is dreaming about, with that kind of noise, must be having a nightmare, right?

[Guardian Ding]: So, do we show our employee care now, or pretend we don’t know and continue to sleep?

[Guardian Yi]: Let’s keep sleeping. Didn’t the butler say that there might be some strange noises at night recently?

[Guardian Bing]: Poor thing! I’ll adjust the menu tomorrow, make some dishes that nourish the brain and calm the mind.

The room became quiet once more, and there was no further noise from the second floor.

After dawn.

When Feng Yi woke up, his head was still spinning; as the images from his dream gradually faded away, his consciousness also became clear.

After yawning, Feng Yi remembered something important.

He first stared at the wall facing the bed.

There was another mark on the wall, but this time not near the one from yesterday, rather it was at the spot where the camera was placed. The wall’s structural layer was scraped even more deeply.

All these aside, where was the camera?

I installed it there, such a big camera?

How is it that not even the wall plaster is left?!!

Feng Yi hurried to his feet to check.

The brand-new camera he bought just yesterday was now nothing but a scattering of fragments on the floor.

Feng Yi hitched up his sagging pajama bottoms and quickly walked over, crouching down amidst the fragments to look for the memory card.

Fortunately, the memory card looked intact. It was just a question of whether it could be read.

He took out his computer, and Feng Yi put the memory card into the card reader and inserted it into the computer.

It could be read.

Feng Yi breathed a sigh of relief, yet felt somewhat apprehensive. He opened the videos on the memory card.

The footage shot at night was relatively clear. Feng Yi looked at the duration, slowly dragged the progress bar, and focused on the changes on the screen.

His sleeping posture at night wasn’t great, rolling from side to side and kicking the covers.

Feng Yi swore he didn’t used to be like this!

It must be a side effect of evolution!

But none of that was important right now. Feng Yi kept his eyes glued to the screen.

Just as the progress bar was about to reach the end, the footage suddenly started to turn white. At first, the picture was blurry, as if fog had appeared, until finally it was completely white. Nothing could be seen, and then with a click, it was gone. The video stopped there, and by that time, the camera had already been knocked down.

Feng Yi looked at the time of the last footage shot, a little after two o’clock in the morning.

That is to say, the new scrape mark on the wall was made around two o’clock in the morning.

Not only did it scrape the wall, but it also broke the camera mounted on it! What exactly happened?

He checked the back of his heel. Like yesterday, there was powder from the wall paint on his heel.

Feng Yi rubbed his face and then checked the indoor humidity data, which hadn’t changed much. There was indeed a fluctuation around two in the morning; the humidity had risen slightly, but not significantly, and was stabilized by the indoor air conditioning system. There were also no signs of dampness in the room.

This meant that the white obstruction in the camera footage was not fog.

Feng Yi replayed the camera footage, especially the last part, starting from when the screen began to turn white. Although the beginning of the whiteness was slightly blurry, one could still make out the objects in the footage.

Such as kicking the covers.

Feng Yi focused on the screen that appeared to be covered by a layer of white fog and soon spotted a problem.

The way he kicked the covers was too technically demanding!

Why did it feel like it wasn’t a foot kicking the covers?
