Xu Mo discovered the hidden cameras left by the program team?
The staff blurted out.
The members of the chasing team who were in the room naturally heard it too.
"The target seems to have discovered the hidden camera in the car."
"Did any of the challengers from the first two seasons discover the hidden cameras?"
"No, until they were caught, none of them discovered any hidden cameras. It was only after the show ended that they realized they had been live streamed."
"It looks like this season's challenger might be different from the previous two."
The members of the chasing team started chatting.
Li Chen said, "This is getting interesting."
Shen Manni smiled and said, "Too bad we can't watch the livestream, otherwise we could judge from his expression whether Xu Mo stumbled upon it by chance or really discovered it."
"Most likely by chance," Han Fei chimed in.
After all, Xu Mo's personal information was too ordinary. He was the kind that would barely make a ripple even if thrown into a crowd.
Not only did he think so.
Almost everyone felt that Xu Mo must have stumbled upon the hidden camera left by the program team by pure luck.
But was that really the case?
The perspective shifts back a few minutes earlier.
Tianhe CBD.
Having obtained a two-point increase in brain cell activity, Xu Mo's entire cerebral cortex was in an unprecedented active state.
This change was very abrupt.
Xu Mo quickly realized he had become different.
This difference was not in personality.
Nor was it emotional.
Rather, it was in the brain!
Even more so to say, it was a difference in thinking ability.
As well as a difference in perspective.
After calming down,
Xu Mo was driving out of the underground parking garage when his peripheral vision noticed a faint red glow under the car's LED display.
If it were him before,
he definitely wouldn't have noticed such a weak glow that was almost imperceptible.
But after getting his cell activity enhanced by two points,
Xu Mo's ability to capture details had become different.
He stopped the car and lowered his head to look at where the faint red glow was coming from.
At the same time,
in the live studio, Xu Mo's face was zoomed in.
A pair of eyes that had become very spirited appeared on the live broadcast screen.
"Why did this guy suddenly look straight at the camera?"
"F*ck, he seems to have discovered the hidden surveillance camera left in the car by the program team!"
"For real?"
As netizens in the live chatroom were sending bullet comments,
suddenly, the footage on the live broadcast went black and Xu Mo on the screen disappeared instantly.
"Awesome!"
"Xu Mo really discovered the hidden camera."
"Is this the first time a challenger discovered the hidden cameras left by the program team right off the bat?"
"How did he discover it?"
"It must've been by chance, right?"
As netizens in the live chatroom were discussing, the footage came back on.
The new live footage showed Xu Mo from behind.
This was from another hidden camera, concealed behind the rear passenger seats.
So it showed Xu Mo's back and his actions.
At this moment, Xu Mo was holding a tiny, concealed camera in his hand.
Clearly, he had already removed the camera.
The faint red light from earlier was the infrared LED used for night vision. It emitted infrared light that would reflect back to be captured by the camera.
Xu Mo's brow furrowed slightly.
His brain became active.
Why would there be a camera in his black Volkswagen?
Could it be related to his current wanted status?
No!
Xu Mo quickly denied this possibility.
At this moment, he felt his thinking ability had become different from before.
If this camera was related to his current wanted status,
he would've already been reported.
The police should've come already.
It was more likely that...
This camera was associated with the kidnapped celebrity in his trunk.
The celebrity who appeared in his trunk.
And the concealed camera hidden in the car.
Things didn't seem to be what he had thought.
Ideas flashed through Xu Mo's mind.
But no matter what, this was absolutely related to the female celebrity tied up in his trunk. The most important thing right now was to pry information out of the mouth of that female celebrity.
He needed a location!
A location secure enough for him to safely question the female celebrity.
Clearly, the current environment wouldn't do!
Having thought to this point, Xu Mo threw away the camera in his hand.
Then he turned to look around the car.
Since there was one camera in the car, who's to say there wouldn't be a second, third camera?
Soon, upon careful investigation,
he spotted the camera hidden behind the rear passenger seats.
Then he reached out towards the second camera to grab it.
"No way!"
"He discovered the second camera too."
"Just what is going on with this Xu Mo?"
"Wasn't he said to be just an ordinary person beyond ordinary?"
"This is really beyond expectations."
"Xu Mo finally broke the record of challengers looking completely confused."
Along with the live footage cutting out again, the entire live chatroom instantly became abuzz.
"Hahaha, this must be the program team's first time encountering this kind of situation."
"With the in-car cameras discovered, how are they gonna keep broadcasting?"
"The program team must have a headache now."
"Previously it was the program team playing the passersby. Now it seems the passerby is kinda going off script."
"Anyway, I feel like this show is starting to get more interesting."
The netizens' schadenfreude was understandable. In the previous two seasons, the program team and chasing team had easily captured the challengers, making the show fun but lacking thrills.
What do audiences like the most?
Change.
A show full of unpredictability has tension.
That's what makes it more wonderful.
Naturally, Song Yixue, the chief director of the directing team, understood this well.
So when she saw Xu Mo dismantle all the in-car cameras, she didn't have a headache at all. On the contrary, she smiled.
As chief director, her thinking was naturally different from the chasing team. The previous two challengers had ended too quickly, leaving many things and capturing tactics unable to be shown.
If this third season ended quickly as well,
although the deterrence of the investigative methods would still be strong,
it would be unfavorable for the program team. The show would become hard to continue.
Therefore, upon seeing Xu Mo dismantle the hidden in-car cameras,
it was simply a pleasant surprise for Song Yixue.
It seemed they had finally found a challenger with some substance this time.
She smiled and instructed the staff in the live broadcast room,
"Ask the Tianhe Traffic Control Bureau if we can use the road surveillance cameras for our live broadcasting."
"Got it." Upon hearing her words, the staff immediately sprang into action without any doubts.
Because their show had the powerful backing of the state.
One could even say it was state-funded.
So they had been given the green light all the way.
