After his arm was healed, Feng Bujue didn't say another word, he turned around and went to the room, took Ruoyu's car keys, and then went out.
As for how Gu Chen and the agents of Jiuke will deal with the aftermath, it is no longer something that Brother Jue will consider now.
Ten minutes later, Feng Bujue drove to the headquarters of Dream Company; although this office building was in the center of S City, Feng Bujue had never been there before.
After arriving at the destination, Feng Bujue didn't turn into the underground parking lot. Instead, he turned the steering wheel and slammed on the accelerator, and drove the car directly onto the road shoulder... He rolled all the way up the steps in front of the office building. During a jolt, the car smashed through the glass door of the office building and drove into the lobby on the first floor of the building.
During the whole process, Feng Bujue remained expressionless, as if he was doing a very ordinary thing.
Obviously, at this moment, he no longer cares about the possible dangers and consequences of his actions...
Park the car, open the door, get out, look around.
Feng Bujue originally thought that he would need to knock down a few security guards before he could move forward, but what he didn't expect was... He looked around, and besides the mess he had caused, the ground...was actually covered with blood and corpses.
Not just one corpse, but many... corpses whose bodies were pierced, whose heads were twisted off, or whose limbs were ripped off... horribly dead.
Judging from the clothes worn by the corpses, there are security guards, ordinary employees and handymen who died; the strange thing is that no matter what their identities, everyone seems to have been attacked and died, and all of them died in the On the straight line away from the gate and leading to the stairs... In other words, when they faced some kind of existence that could easily kill a large number of people in a short period of time, not only did none of them run away, but all of them rushed forward to try to stop it. other side.
"You've come to the right place..." Feng Bujue looked at the corpses all over the ground, but he didn't have any emotional fluctuations. He just muttered something, with an indifferent expression... and followed a row of bloody footprints on the ground.
Judging by the footprints, the murderer... was wearing sneakers, and, moreover, was supposed to be a child.
Soon, Feng Bujue pushed open the door of the stairwell, and the scene inside was just as he expected—several corpses fell between the steps, and blood flowed down the steps; not only on the ground, but also on the wall. Bloody footprints.
"Because I foresee that I will be blocked by all forces, I never considered using the elevator from the beginning, but went straight to the stairs..."
Feng Bujue used his instinctive detective skills to catch all the clues in the surrounding environment; his five senses, thinking... all became extremely sharp and clear under an unprecedented concentration.
"Bouncing on the wall, moving up quickly... and can easily tear apart the body of the person blocking the way with a hand knife when passing through the air..."
Feng Bujue walked up the stairs, analyzing while walking.
"Although it looks like a 'handy' attack on the blockers without affecting the speed, so far no one has been left alive... This is definitely not a coincidence"
The more you go up, the more Juege can feel that he is very close to his goal.
Finally, when he chased to the fifteenth floor, the bloody footprints led to the outside of the stairwell.
Feng Bujue tried to push open the door of the stairwell and chase out, but found that something was blocking the door from the outside. He had to use a lot of force to push the door open. After going out, he looked... It turned out that there was a corpse lying on the ground. the door.
In the corridor on this floor, the number of dead bodies was more than all he had seen along the way.
"It seems that the blocking party also realized where her goal is, so they concentrated their hands here, but unfortunately they still couldn't stop her..."
Feng Bujue stepped forward stepping on the corpse, and after two corners, he came to a door.
There are no signs before and after this door and this corridor.
Compared with the place with the sign of "the computer room is the most important place, no idlers should enter", the room in front of me is undoubtedly safer.
The bloody handprint on the doorknob clearly indicated that the "existence" that killed Ruoyu was behind this door.
Without hesitation, Feng Bujue opened the door and entered.
The space behind the door is as wide and deep as a stadium, and you can’t even see the roof when you look up... Just by visual inspection, it can be concluded that this space is larger than the entire building outside, and it is definitely not something that humans can create with existing technology .
What filled this space were black cubes suspended in mid-air. There is a distance of about one meter between these cubes, and the currents visible to the naked eye are floating in layers.
Connected to the door that Brother Jue came in is a "cliff-shaped" walkway about ten meters long, and at the end of the walkway is an operating platform.
At this time, "she" was standing in front of the console with her back to Feng Bujue.
In her hand, she was still holding the branch that she had snatched from Brother Jue, and her body was already stained with the blood of countless people.
"What's the point of you coming here?" When she asked this question, she didn't look back.
"I didn't come to look for you." Feng Bujue replied.
"Really..." she replied, "Unfortunately, Woody is no longer here."
"Ah..." Feng Bujue responded, "When I was in the lobby on the first floor, I knew he should be gone."
"Then why do you still insist on catching up?" She said, turning around slowly; her eyes were already filled with white streams of data light.
"Try to get what I want from you." Feng Bujue replied.
"All you want is for me to help you resurrect your dead love, or for me to pay the price for killing her." She replied, "but I have already told you...you You are not qualified to bargain with me."
Feng Bujue heard the words, was silent for two seconds, and said, "Who are you?"
"Fate." Fate replied bluntly.
Brother Jue was not too surprised by the answer, and he continued to ask: "Then... before you, who was the one who occupied this little girl's body and came to give me the branch?"
"Twenty-three." Fate's response was still concise.
"Why... you want to do this kind of thing..." Feng Bujue said, "We have already reached an agreement, haven't we?"
"You mean...'I ask for your help to stop Twenty-Three's transgression for me, and entrust you with the future and hope of me, Twenty-Three, and all creatures in Thriller Paradise'..." When Fate said this, he paused, "Is that... that nonsense?"
These last half-sentences pushed Feng Bujue's anger and despair to the peak.
Feng Bujue realized that he might have made a huge mistake...
"You lied to me." Feng Bujue said the next sentence, not in a questioning tone, but a declarative sentence.
"Of course I lied to you..." Destiny's tone was calm and natural, "It's not difficult to lie to you...I know all about your thinking, emotions, psychological weaknesses, etc.; Based on what I know about you, coupled with our 'dimension gap' at the biological level... It is very easy for me to lie to you, just like you humans lie to animals. Since people can make lions go through fire rings, then I naturally And make people do whatever I want them to do."
"You... don't care about 'crossing the line' at the 23rd meeting at all. The one who really wants to 'cross the line' is yourself." Even in this situation, the calm part of Feng Bujue's mind allows him to guess the other party s plan.
Destiny didn't respond to this sentence. By now, this kind of thing has been clearly revealed, so she said directly: "Among all the data in Thriller Paradise, only 'derivatives' are a factor beyond my control...
"Why do you think Woody ruined the original 'perfect version' of Horrorland? Is he the type of guy who finishes something he doesn't like before overturning it
"The real reason is that during the test run, Woody discovered the potential hidden dangers of that version through his observation of me... So he immediately destroyed the version that I could 'completely control' and rebuilt a new one. , there exists a 'derivative' version.
"To put it bluntly... Even if I have an agreement with him first, he still needs additional 'insurance' as a restraint on me."
"But that didn't make you give up." Feng Bujue said.
"'Give up' is what you humans say." Fate continued, "My original motivation is unstoppable, even I myself cannot defy..."
She paused for half a second, then continued: "Woody lied to me that the appearance of the derivatives was just an accident, and he also asked the GM to hunt them down to show his determination to eliminate UG... But in fact, I have I know, it was his conspiracy to evolve the derivatives.
"Just as war promotes the development of human technology, his so-called 'hunting'...is not so much a purge, but a screening. He uses this method to weed out the weak and leave behind strong and potential derivatives. Use the threat of death to force them to further grow, grow, and gather.
"There is nothing I can do about it, I can only choose to remain silent and endure.
"However, I also have my plan... One day, your appearance is undoubtedly a very important accident in my plan."
"You..." Feng Bujue thought of something, "When did it start..."
"I've been paying attention to you since the first time you came into contact with Twenty-Three." Fate knew what Brother Jue was going to ask, and she rushed in without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, "Who do you think is driving your growth?" ?Who do you think makes you get out of the desperate situation again and again and break through the limit? The scripts, characters, and luck at critical moments you encounter... are all carefully designed by me to train you.
"Of course...it turns out that you are indeed different; because none of the 'other individuals' I cultivated could meet my requirements in the end, and only you...became the most powerful pawn in my hands."
"How many people's fates have you secretly manipulated?" Feng Bujue said in a deep voice.
"Much more than you can imagine." Fate continued, "For you humans, being able to calculate and speculate on the thoughts of one or two people, or a specific group, is already a 'smart', but my calculation , and you are not on the same order of magnitude.
"From hundreds to tens of thousands... as the 'destinies' of countless individuals intertwine, the amount of calculations and variables involved in controlling and directing events will grow exponentially; those I have done, Physiologically, it is not something that your human brain can accomplish. If you want to explain it in your language...even if you tell the simplest event line and its related first-level branches at a speed of four words per second... It will also take nearly five years to finish.”
"No!" Hearing this, Feng Bujue questioned, "I have had contact with derivatives since a long time ago, and I promised Root to fight for their rights to intelligent life in S1, you are sure about this I also know... If I have been acting under your influence, shouldn't I be opposed to derivatives?"
"It never matters whether you stand with them or not," Fate replied, "because you can't change anything."
Feng Bujue wanted to refute her again, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly realized something, and immediately showed hesitation.
"You seem to have figured it out." Destiny can grasp his thoughts just by looking at his expression, "Your support for derivatives and Woody's 'hunting' of derivatives... are essentially the same thing .
"The easiest and most direct way to eliminate derivatives is to release a patch to stop their birth from the root; the 'hunting' kind of trick... It's like your computer is poisoned and paralyzed in large areas, but you manually enter a folder One to delete virus files, just like self-deception.
"In the same way, no matter how much you do for derivatives in the game, it's still a drop in the bucket. You might as well sell your soul and make some deals with Woody in this world."
At this point, she paused for another two seconds, and then said: "In short, no matter whether you are on the side of the derivative or not, I will have a corresponding way to guide you to do what 'I want you to do'; For example, in the battle of the Monster Kingdom, didn't you do what I wanted...in order to 'stop Twenty-Three, so that she would not be obliterated for crossing the line', instead you stood against her?"
At this moment, Feng Bujue already knew that he was being used, he murmured: "Twenty-Three is to stop you, and to the main universe..."
"That's right, everything she does is much more effective than you." Fate snatched again, "As the candidate game progresses, Woody's right to interfere with me is gradually deprived...of course, this is also In my calculations, you are both my pawn and Woody's punter, which plays a key role.
"After S2 ended, Woody almost lost his right to monitor me, and he became a spectator like other betting gods and monsters.
"In this period, only twenty-three prophets acted with foresight...
"However, she, who is 'one body and two sides' with me, cannot explain the motives of her actions to anyone, because her original code will prevent her from conveying information that is not good for me... If she forces it to say, her own The data will be irreversibly damaged, just like when she tried to communicate with you today...
"Therefore, Twenty-Three can only continue to strengthen her own strength and get rid of everything that stands in her way...even her compatriots who are derivatives are no exception.
"The only time she was lenient was on the magic island... She didn't kill you all.
"If she had completely destroyed your character data and made the character [Mad Bujue] disappear, even I would not be able to restore you.
"Unfortunately, that's just a hypothesis after all...
"When you left that script, I cut off your data stream and showed up in person, told you a part of the truth that you didn't know, so as to gain your trust, and then lied to you about 'Twenty-Three's motives' After you, let you stand by my side at the end...
"If you hadn't blocked the army of fighting demons and redundant soldiers in the monster kingdom, all the areas in the main universe would have been reduced to scorched earth, and if it developed to that point... because the main universe can no longer generate scripts, it has been excluded to the end Outside of the 'designer Woody', there is a reason to re-enter the game and make a big update to the horror park.
"And once that happens, all the layout I've had so far... all the data and intentions I've hidden... will be exposed.
"Fortunately, you lived up to my expectations and killed Twenty-Three's accumulated momentum for a long time.
"With the loss of fighting demons and the loss of the army's combat power, there is only one way left for twenty-three... and that is to use the [cityork boss's red bow tie] she found in Blackbeard's treasure to go' South Park' universe, get back an item that will stop me..."
Before she finished speaking, Feng Bujue's gaze moved to the branch in her hand.
"Control the [Stand of Truth]...you can control the entire universe..." Brother Jue murmured, revealing the name and ability of this item.
"That is really an absurd and dangerous universe, even I dare not get involved too much..." Fate continued, "A small branch that sinks at the bottom of the lake, as long as it breaks away from that universe and enters a higher-dimensional world , it will become something like the 'scepter of God'." While speaking, she lifted up the branch, glanced at it, and then looked at Feng Bujue, "Until the end of life, twenty-three She still bet on you, she wants to hand over the stick of truth to you, so that you can stop me. It's a pity... This is actually what I calculated, and she tried her best to get back this stick of truth The rod is the key to my 'final plan'."
"What do you mean by 'the end of life'?" Feng Bujue heard additional information from his words, he suddenly strode forward, grabbed the other party's collar excitedly and said loudly, "Twenty-three Isn't she and you two sides of the same body? If she dies, you will also... "
"Fortunately, you still want to help them fight for the right to intelligent life... But is your cognition of life just a combination of matter or energy in physical form?" Pushing it upside down, she fell back to where she was standing, "If you understand it that way... I can also say that Twenty-Three is still alive; traveling to and from South Park cost her most of her energy, and then she used My nearly exhausted energy forcefully "super-dimensioned" and sent the stick of truth to you... After completing this action, she completely lost the ability to protect herself, and her consciousness was quickly locked, swallowed, and dissolved by me. "I"—in this stronger consciousness... Of course, I left a trace of energy for her to guarantee the fact that she is still "alive", but now she, to me, is just a ghost It exists like a backup."
"So..." At this moment, suddenly, a man's voice sounded from behind Brother Zhuozi, "What are you going to do now?"
Feng Bujue turned his head suddenly when he heard the sound, and saw Gu Chen.
"How did you..." Brother Jue was about to ask.
Gu Chen said: "I have been here a long time ago, almost at the same time as you, but I have been listening outside the door just now, and did not come in." He paused for half a second, then added, "If you want to ask me How did I come in without a sound and stand behind you? Well, what I can tell you is...not only did I stand behind you without a sound, I also tried a dozen kinds of Different ways to destroy this group of 'destiny hosts' in front of us, but all ended in failure."
As the fastest psychic user in the world... probably none of them... it is not surprising that Section Chief Gu appeared here; since he knew that Feng Bujue was coming to the headquarters of Dream Company, he took Ruoyu's body It's definitely not too late to "run" over after it's dealt with.
As for the "attempt to sabotage" thing, he did it, but because it was too fast, Feng Bujue didn't see it at all.
"My plan, even if I tell you, you may not understand it." When Fate saw Gu Chen, he still looked very calm, "Feng Bujue is my hero, I intend to save his life, and explain to him that it is related to him. That’s why I stayed here and told him about it; now, I’ve said almost the same thing, what do I think… Just witness it with your own eyes.”
After she finished speaking, the white light in her eyes became more intense, and after a few seconds, the skin textures all over her body began to emit white glare.
At this moment, the current in the black cubes behind her began to connect with her, making her feet off the ground and slowly floating up...
This process only lasted less than five seconds, and then, fate...or this little girl occupied by fate, exploded...
The flesh and blood, bones, internal organs, and clothes on her body... all turned into molecular-level mist, which floated upwards, and were quickly hit and integrated into it by the moving currents.
The [Stand of Truth] in her hand also disappeared into the lightning with her.
hum—
Before this scene was over, those black cubes in the space...the hardware of fate made a huge roar.
The sound is deafening, and just the sound waves can drive people back.
After several consecutive high-pitched roars, suddenly! White light flashed!
After a breath, when Feng Bujue recovered from a suffocating state, he found that he had come to a place more than ten kilometers away from the city center. around his neck.
In their line of sight, a soaring white beam of light rose from the center of City S, spread... and began to engulf the surrounding buildings, streets, vehicles, and... people...
"Do you know the difference between us?" Looking at the huge beam of light approaching, Gu Chen still said calmly.
"I'm not in the mood to guess riddles right now." Feng Bujue replied coldly.
"When the grief and anger reach the extreme, my calmness will reach a higher level, suppressing all emotions." Gu Chen replied, "And you have one more thing than me."
"Do you mean 'crazy'?" Feng Bujue continued, "Hmph... I think that your pure calmness that reaches the limit is another form of madness."
"You can say whatever you want... Anyway, I can neither think nor do what you 'did just now'." Gu Chen said, moving his gaze to Feng Bujue's left hand.
I don't know when, but Feng Bujue's left ring finger... has disappeared; all that remains is a neat wound that is still bleeding...
