Su Yu began working on making a human skin mask.
The craftsmanship of making a human skin mask was very challenging, and the materials were difficult to find. Even Su Yu spent half a day gathering all the necessary materials.
Nevertheless, if the human skin mask could be successfully crafted, it would all be worth it. After all, a human skin mask was much more effective than regular makeup. Unless someone voluntarily revealed their true identity, it was highly unlikely that anyone would discover the deception.
With a faint smile, Su Yu focused his energy on the process of making the human skin mask.
Inside the live broadcast room, numerous viewers watched Su Yu sitting at his desk with puzzled expressions.
"What is Su God doing?"
"I have no idea. Su God has been running around all day, buying a bunch of stuff, and I have no clue what he's planning to do."
"I'm curious. Su God wouldn't do something meaningless. I just wonder what it is."
Many viewers were curious, but Su Yu was unaware of their discussions.
He had already concentrated his mind on his work.
The primary materials for making a human skin mask were plaster and silicone.
Plaster was used to create the base and provide solidity, while silicone simulated real skin. After completing these two critical steps, additional details such as the fine pores, wounds, and even hair were added. All these elements were indispensable to achieve a lifelike appearance.
In the midst of Su Yu's focused work, night fell quickly, and the lights in the villa were switched on. This suburban villa had been rented by Su Yu from someone else, with no contracts or commitments; it was merely a temporary place to stay.
On the workbench, after several hours of hard work, the preliminary outline of the human skin mask was finally taking shape. There were now two somewhat rough-looking face masks on the table. Although they were rough, they were entirely accurate in terms of the overall appearance. Even in dim lighting conditions, it would be impossible to tell that these were fake faces.
The live broadcast room erupted with excitement.
"What the heck is this? A human skin mask?"
"This is incredible! It actually looks quite similar!"
"Is this mask not yet completed? If it's finished, what can't he do with it?"
"I'm already getting a headache for the pursuers."
"Haha, it's indeed headache-inducing. If Su God has this lifelike human skin mask, the pursuers won't stand a chance."
"Wow, is this like a disguise technique? So impressive!"
Countless viewers were discussing excitedly.
Meanwhile, Su Yu paid no attention to them. He picked up the two masks and placed them on the windowsill to dry. Currently, the human skin masks had only completed the basic steps and needed time to dry before proceeding with additional processes. It was estimated that it would take at least two days.
Su Yu had prepared two masks for himself, just in case they were needed.
Returning to the workbench, Su Yu began to contemplate.
Changing one's appearance required adopting a realistic identity. But what kind of identity would be best?
From a conventional perspective, to hide effectively, one would choose a profession with a large and diverse workforce, preferably one with low skill requirements. Occupations with low skill requirements typically had a higher number of employees and lower barriers to entry, making it easier to blend in. Additionally, these factors would significantly impact the pursuers' efforts.
However, Su Yu had a different idea.
What he could think of, the pursuers were likely to think of as well. Therefore, he needed to select an occupation that the pursuers wouldn't even consider.
After pondering for a while, Su Yu smiled faintly and opened the computer on the table to browse various pieces of information.
Since Su Yu had placed the webcam aside while crafting the human skin mask, the viewers had no idea what he was looking at. Time passed quickly, and half an hour later, Su Yu stopped moving the mouse.
"This profession is interesting."
Su Yu's eyes lit up with excitement.
In the live broadcast room, discussions were in full swing.
"What is Su God looking at?"
"Well, it's this late, what could he be looking at? Those who understand will understand."
"Hiss! I heard that after 11 PM, things get interesting."
"Ah? Is it time for premium content? I'm so excited!"
"Wow, Su God, we want to see it too!"
The viewers were curious and eager to know what Su Yu was up to.
However, Su Yu had already closed the computer.
"At least two days are needed to complete the human skin masks. The pursuers have probably already devised a new plan by now."
Su Yu sat at the table, tapping his fingers on the wooden surface while muttering to himself.
It was certain that the pursuers would come up with a new plan. After all, he had managed to escape from their grasp twice. If they stuck to their old methods, he would look down on them intellectually.
As for the plan…
Su Yu had a rough idea of what to expect. The rules of the show were clear. The pursuers would likely focus on capturing other fugitives, concentrating their efforts to deliver a decisive blow to him.
Su Yu smiled. He had already anticipated this.
Short-term, they wouldn't be able to find him. Once the human skin masks were completed, he could easily blend into the crowd. With a permanent population of seven million in Donghai City, they wouldn't be able to find him. Of course, the difficulty of the show would continue to escalate, but Su Yu wasn't concerned about that for now.
There were plans for the future, but at the moment, he would play along with their game.
With a clear mind, Su Yu took a relaxing hot shower and then went to rest in his bedroom.
As Su Yu rested, in the pursuit team's command center…
Late at night, around 11 PM...
"Everyone did a great job today, capturing more than ten fugitives. Currently, there are only 20 fugitives remaining at large," Zhang Mingshan said with a smile as he looked at everyone.
Everyone nodded, feeling a sense of relief after the change in strategy. They found it much easier to capture other fugitives than to go after Su Yu.
Li Kai had provided locations, and they had simply followed up and made arrests. These fugitives had nowhere to run.
This feeling was undoubtedly satisfying.
Especially for Wang Tao, who had vented his frustration by capturing six fugitives in a row. He was reenergized.
"Everyone is in great shape, but unfortunately, we still haven't found any clues about Su Yu," Zhang Mingshan said, his tone filled with regret.
The others had mentally prepared themselves for this outcome.
"No worries, that guy can't hide forever in Donghai City. Sooner or later, he'll show himself," Zai Haiming reassured them while adjusting his glasses.
Wang Tao nodded vigorously. "I'm prepared for a protracted battle with this guy. I won't feel comfortable until I catch him."
Wang Tao was determined to regain his pride. To restore his honor, he had to catch Su Yu.
Seeing this determination, Zhang Mingshan felt reassured. It wasn't scary to fail to catch someone; what was truly detrimental was losing confidence.
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's all go get some rest,"
Zhang Mingshan waved his hand.
As the others left, Zhang Mingshan remained seated at the table, scrolling through various potential clues. It was a habit he had developed over many years. Back when he was working in the police station, if they failed to capture a suspect, he would often spend the night going through case files.
It was this unwavering work ethic that had led him to be invited to participate in the global manhunt program and become a pursuing officer for three consecutive seasons.
While he was deep in thought about Su Yu's whereabouts, Wang Tao walked in.
"Zhang Teacher, you're still here? Is there anything you're looking for in Su Yu's case?"
Wang Tao looked a bit puzzled.
Zhang Mingshan smiled and glanced at Wang Tao. "I'll stay a little longer. What's the matter?"
"I forgot my coat; I'll just grab it. Are you studying that guy Su Yu?"
Wang Tao walked over to the table and observed the material scattered across it.
Zhang Mingshan didn't see any reason to hide it, so he nodded. "Yes."
"Looking for Su Yu? I'm not tired of that at all. Count me in."
With that, Wang Tao sat down next to Zhang Mingshan, and the two of them began to contemplate together.
This scene, seen by countless viewers, led to numerous sighs and comments.
