Biography
Failed infiltration of Mu Yang High School
Wei Wu enters the attraction with Kong Xiangming, keeping a low profile until the students separate from safer routes. Their mission takes priority over clearing the scenario, and Wei reveals the blood face attached to the back of his head when he believes the visitors can be eliminated without witnesses. The exhausted students mistake him for an actor, while Chen Ge recognizes the Society connection and pursues him through the mannequins. Wei abandons Kong to save himself, but Xu Yin tears out the blood face and Chen captures him. With the possessing spirit gone, he wakes mentally impaired and is delivered to Captain Yan; police identify him as thirty-six-year-old pharmaceutical worker Zhang Wu and investigate storage rooms rented under false names. (Chapters 259–273)
Appearance and personality
Wei Wu is a normal-looking middle-aged man who relies on being forgettable. He is deceptive, cautious, selfish, and afraid of both the Society's chairperson and Chen Ge. His willingness to abandon Kong once the fight turns against them shows that their cooperation is based on survival, not loyalty. (Chapters 259–273)
Skills and supernatural abilities
The blood face attached behind Wei Wu's head can imitate another face and interfere with a matching spirit or mannequin, making it useful for control and deception rather than direct combat. The power belongs to the attached entity; once Xu Yin tears it free and destroys it, Wei loses access and suffers severe mental damage. (Chapters 260, 266–271)
Relationships
- Kong Xiangming: His fellow infiltrator and temporary ally, whom Wei abandons when Chen's spirits overwhelm them. (Chapters 259–269)
- Chen Ge: The mission target who identifies Wei before the attack, defeats the blood face, and hands its host to police. (Chapters 259–273)
- Ghost Stories Society: The organization that supplies his mission and inspires almost as much fear in him as his enemies do. (Chapters 259–275)
Items
- Blood-face spirit: A supernatural entity carried on the back of Wei Wu's head and used to imitate or control matching targets; Xu Yin removes and destroys it. (Chapters 260, 266–271)
