Wuming believed that Russell must not have died.
Unlike the blind trust, or rather self-deceptive belief, of the Paradise Bird, Xia, Zhan, and others, Wuming had concrete evidence in his hands.
The prosthetic eye Wuming was now using had been fitted for him by Russell a few months ago. The specific model was "Magic Eye Kabuki," a parallel version of "Magic Eye Pure Grass" that Glass had previously used.
It lacked the extremely high-definition covert filming capability of "Pure Grass," but it included an advanced anti-theft filming function—it could extract, magnify, and analyze another's prosthetic eye in an instant during eye contact to confirm whether the other party had started recording or live streaming, and connect to the temporary chip he was fitted with, highlighting and marking the contours of the thief in red.
