Caleb was flustered by his question and stuttered, "I... I saw it through my peripheral vision."
Matthew remained expressionless, and the words he uttered next were cold and sharp as if they were drawn from the depths of hell.
"If that''s so, you can go to hell!"
Right after, he prepared to pull the trigger, but Caleb shouted anxiously, "Don''t... Don''t kill me! I''ll tell you. I''ll tell you everything."
Then, Matthew said with a chill, "Spit it out then!"
Caleb grimaced. He knew that he had no way out other than to tell the truth, so he slowly said, "I''m actually blind!"
He was blind? Upon hearing his response, Matthew kicked Caleb in the stomach, which knocked Caleb to the ground.
"Who are you trying to fool? You wouldn''t be able to see anything if you were blind. But you can see not only everything that''s in front of you but also whatever''s behind you. You call that being blind?"
Caleb''s face turned ashen with pain as he clutched onto his stomach and gasped for air. After he had regained hisposure a little, he said again, "Listen to me. I really am blind.
"I made a bet with a person called ''old fox'' back then. I''ve never once lost a gamble in my entire life, but I lost back then. I lost to him terribly, and I even lost my eyes!"
Old fox? Matthew never thought that Caleb had lost to the guy who taught him how to gamble when he was in jail. Now, Caleb had lost again to Matthew.
Matthew couldn''t tell if Caleb was straight up unlucky, or downright cursed to have met them both.
Then, Caleb continued, "Though I lost my eyes, I still had some money left. When I heard of a foreignb working on electronic eyes and brain-to-visual-nerve data transmission experiments, I spent all my remaining money on it.
"That''s when I installed an eyeball-shaped surveince camera that came with a micrputer."
After he spoke, Caleb took one of his eyeballs out and stretched his hands out to Matthew. "This eyeball is a surveince camera, and ites with Bluetooth functions.
"The other eyeball is a
micrputer, and it can process the videos and images the
surveince camera captures. Then, this information is transmitted to my brain after my optic nerve iso stimted.
"So, although I''m blind, my vision isn''t affected at all. In fact, it''s more than ten times better than my original vision.
"Even if the back of all the poker
cards have the same pattern, I can take photos of them and tell them apart by finding the subtle differences from each card after l magnify it. This is why I can
overne
distinguish each of the card''s values
just by looking at the back of it."
Matthew then came to a realization. So, that was the reason why Caleb''s eyes seemed so detached-they were surveince cameras. Even so, it couldn''t exin how he was able to look behind him.
"Tell me how you''re able to see what''s behind you!" Matthew demanded.
At that, Caleb pointed at the back of his head. He had very long hair, and it was ited back.
Caleb then pointed to the hairband
that was used to tie his hair and said, "This ck bead is actually surveince camera, and it can transmit everything to the
vel
micrputer in my left eyeball via Bluetooth.
"That''s how I''m able to notice everything that happens behind me."
Matthew was finally enlightened. So, it was because Caleb had installed an eye at the back of his head.
Then, Caleb continued, "I''ll tell you more about it to show my honesty. To tell you the truth, it isn''t only the back of my head where I installed a camera.
"I installed a surveince camera on each of my shoces, the back of my clothes, and even the decorative buttons on both my sleeves are cameras.
"These are all my eyes, and I''ve got 360-degree vision! Not to mention, I''ve installed a camera on each of my ten rings.
"These ten rings act as my eyes. If I wanted to know what was going on in a certain room, all I had to do was to put a ring into that room.
"Even if I left the room and stood outside, where the wall separates me from the room, I''d be able to see what happens inside the room."
