1503 Chapter 1389
After his arm was healed, Feng bujue did not say another word. He turned to the room to take RUO Yu's car keys and left.
As for how Gu Chen and the detectives from Department 9 would deal with the aftermath, it was not something that brother Jue could worry about.
Ten minutes later, Feng bujue arrived at dream Inc.'S headquarters. Even though this office building was located at the center of city S, Feng bujue had not been there before.
When they arrived at the destination, Feng bujue did not drive into the underground parking lot. Instead, he swerved the steering wheel, stepped on the gas pedal, and drove the car up the shoulder. He ran up the stairs leading to the office building and crashed through the glass door of the office building. He drove into the lobby on the first floor.
Throughout the whole process, Feng bujue was expressionless, like he was doing something very normal.
It was obvious that he didn't care about the dangers and consequences of his actions at all ...
He stopped the car, opened the door, got out, and looked around.
Feng bujue thought that he would need to knock down a few more security guards before he could move forward, but to his surprise ... Other than the mess that he had caused, the ground ... Was covered in blood and dead bodies.
It wasn't just one body, but many ... They were either pierced through, their heads twisted off, or their limbs torn off ... They were all dead in a horrible way.
Judging from the clothes of the dead bodies, there were security guards, ordinary employees, and handymen who died; The strange thing was that no matter what identity they had, they all seemed to have been attacked and died in a straight line away from the gate and towards the stairs ... In other words, when they were faced with an existence that could easily kill a large number of people in a short time, not only did they not run away, but they all rushed forward to stop the other party.
"We've come to the right place ..." Feng bujue looked at the dead bodies on the ground, but he did not show any emotion. He mumbled to himself and followed the trail of bloody footprints with a cold expression.
Judging from the footprints, the murderer ... Was wearing sports shoes, and should be a child.
Very soon, Feng bujue pushed open the door to the stairwell. As he expected, there were several dead bodies lying between the steps, and blood was flowing down the stairs. Not only on the ground, but also on the walls.
"Because I foresaw that I would be attacked with all my might, I didn't consider using the elevator from the beginning. Instead, I went straight to the stairs ..."
Feng bujue used his detective skills that were almost instinctive to capture every single clue in his surroundings. His five senses, his thoughts ... All of them became extremely sharp and clear under an unprecedented level of concentration.
"Jumping on walls, moving up quickly ... And being able to easily tear apart the bodies of those in the way with a hand knife while flying through the air ..."
Feng bujue walked up the stairs and analyzed as he walked.
"Although it looks like he 'casually' attacked the people in his way without affecting his speed, not a single one has been left alive so far ... This is definitely not a coincidence."
The higher he went, the closer brother Jue felt he was to his target.
Finally, when he reached the 15th floor, the bloody footprints led to the stairs.
Feng bujue tried to push open the door to the stairwell, but he realized that something was blocking the door from the outside. He used a lot of strength to force the door open. When he got out ... There was a dead body that had fallen at the door.
The number of dead bodies on this floor's corridor was more than all the bodies he had seen on his way here.
"It seems that the people who are blocking her have realized where her target is, so they have gathered their people here. Unfortunately, they still can't stop her ..."
Feng bujue stepped on the dead bodies and walked forward. After two turns, he came to a door.
There were no signs in front of this door and in front of this corridor.
Compared to places with "computer room restricted area, no unauthorized entry" signs, this room was undoubtedly safer.
The bloody handprint on the door handle indicated that the "being" who killed RUO Yu was behind the door.
Feng bujue did not hesitate and opened the door.
The space behind the door was as wide and deep as a sports stadium, and the roof could not be seen when one looked up ... With just a visual inspection, one could conclude that this space was larger than the entire building outside. It was definitely not something that could be created with the current technology of mankind.
And what filled this space was a Black Cube floating in the air. The cubes were about a meter apart, and the electric current was visible to the naked eye.
Connected to the door that brother Jue had entered through was a ten-meter long 'cliff-shaped' corridor, and at the end of the corridor was a control panel.
At that moment,'she' was standing before the console with her back facing Feng bujue.
She was still holding the branch that she had taken from brother Jue, but her body was already covered in the blood of countless people.
"What's the point of you coming here?" She did not turn around when she asked this question.
"I didn't come here to find you." Feng bujue replied.
"Is that so ..." She replied."Unfortunately, Woody is no longer here."
"Ah ..." Feng bujue replied."When we were in the lobby on the first floor, I already knew that he was not there."
"Then why did you insist on chasing after me?" As she spoke, she slowly turned around, her eyes filled with white streams of data.
"I'll try to get what I want from you," Feng bujue replied.
"What you want is nothing more than for me to help you resurrect your deceased lover, or for me to pay the price for killing her." She replied,"but I've already told you ... You're not qualified to bargain with me."
Hearing that, Feng bujue was silent for two seconds before he said,""Who are you?"
"Fate." Fate replied bluntly.
Brother Jue was not too surprised by this answer. He continued to ask,""Then ... Who was the one who occupied this little girl's body and gave me the branch before you?"
"23." Fate's response was still simple and concise.
"Why ... Would you do something like that?" Feng bujue asked."We have already reached an agreement, haven't we?"
"You mean ...'I asked you for your help, for you to help me stop twenty-three from crossing the line, and to entrust the future and hope of me, twenty-three, and all living beings in Thriller Paradise to you'..." Fate paused."... The nonsense?"
This last sentence 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's following sentence was not a question but a statement.
"Of course I lied to you ..." Fate's tone was very calm, revealing a sense of certainty."It's not difficult to lie to you ... Your thoughts, emotions, psychological weaknesses, and so on, I know them all like the back of my hand. Based on my understanding of you, in addition to the 'dimensional gap' between us on the biological level ... It's very easy for me to lie to you, just like how you humans lie to animals. Since humans can make Lions go through the Ring of Fire, I can naturally make people do whatever I want them to do. "
"You ... Don't care that 23 will 'cross the boundary'. The one who really has to cross the boundary ... Is you." Even under such circumstances, the calmness in Feng bujue's mind allowed him to predict the enemy's plan.
Fate did not respond to these words. Now that things had come to this, the matter was already clear, so she directly said,""Of all the data in Thriller Paradise, only the 'anomaly' is an element that I can not control ...
"Why do you think Woody destroyed the original 'perfect' Thriller Paradise? Was he the kind of person who would only overthrow things that he was not satisfied with?
"The real reason is that during the testing phase, through my observation, Woody discovered the hidden flaws in the version ... So, he immediately destroyed the version that I could 'fully control' and created a new version with an 'anomaly'.
"To put it bluntly ... Even if I had an agreement with him, he would need extra 'insurance' to keep me in check."
"But that didn't make you give up." Feng bujue said.
"'Give up' is what you humans call it." Fate continued,"my original motive can not be stopped. Even I can not disobey it ..."
She paused for half a second before continuing."Woody lied to me that the appearance of the anomalies was an accident. He even asked the GM to kill them to show his determination to get rid of the BUG. But in reality, I knew from the beginning that it was his scheme to help the anomalies evolve.
"Just like how war has pushed the development of human technology, his so-called 'hunting'... Rather than a purge, it is more like a screening. He uses this method to eliminate the weak, leaving behind the strong and promising anomalies. He uses the threat of death to force them to grow, grow, and assemble.
"I can't do anything about it. I can only choose to be silent and endure.
"However, I have my own plans as well ... One day, your appearance will undoubtedly be a very important accidental event in my plan."
"You ..." Feng bujue seemed to have thought of something."When did it start ..."
"I've been paying attention to you since the first time you came into contact with number 23." Fate knew what brother Jue was going to ask, and before he could finish, she said,"who do you think is pushing you to grow? Who do you think made you walk out of desperate situations time and time again, constantly breaking through your limits? The scripts, the characters, and the luck you had at the critical moment ... All of them were carefully designed by me to train you.
"Of course ... The facts have proven that you are indeed different from the rest. That's because the 'other individuals' that I've cultivated all failed to meet my requirements. Only you ... Have become the most powerful chess piece in my hand. "
"How many people's fates have you been secretly controlling?" Feng bujue said in a low voice.
"It's much more than you think," Fate continued,"for you human beings, it is already 'wise' to be able to calculate and speculate the thoughts of one or two people or a certain group, but my calculations are not on the same level as yours at all.
"From hundreds to thousands to tens of thousands ... When the 'fate' of countless individuals intertwine, the number of calculations and variables required to control and guide events will increase exponentially. What I've done, from a biological point of view, is not something that your human brain can complete. If you want to use your language to explain it ... Even if you use a speed of four words per second to describe the simplest event line and its related first level branch ... It will still take close to 5 years to finish. "
"Something's wrong!" When Feng bujue heard this, he questioned,"I have been in contact with the anomalies for a long time, and I promised lurter during S1 that I would fight for the rights of intelligent life for them. I'm sure you know about this as well ... If I have been acting under your influence, shouldn't I be opposing the anomalies?"
"It has never been important whether you stand on the same side as them." "Because you can't change anything," fate replied.
Feng bujue wanted to argue with her again, but when the words reached his mouth, he suddenly realized something, and his expression turned hesitant.
"You seem to have understood." Fate could read his mind just by looking at his expression."Your support for anomalies and Woody 's' hunt 'for anomalies ... Are essentially the same thing.
"To destroy the anomalies, the simplest and most direct way is to issue a patch and stop their birth from the root. The 'hunt' game ... It was like your computer being paralyzed by a widespread virus, and you had to manually enter the folders to delete the virus files one by one. It was just self-deception.
"In the same way, no matter how much you do for the anomaly in the game, it will be a drop in the bucket. You might as well sell your soul and make a deal with Woody in the main world."
At this point, she paused for another two seconds before she continued,""In short, whether you stand on the side of the anomaly or not, I will have a way to guide you to do what I want you to do. For example, in the battle of the kingdom of monsters, didn't you do what I wanted ... In order to stop twenty-three so that she wouldn't be killed for crossing the line, you stood against her?"
At that moment, Feng bujue knew that he had been used. He mumbled,"" 23 did this to stop you, so he ..."
"That's right, everything she did was much more useful than you. " "Of course not." Fate spoke again."As the game of candidates went deeper, Woody's right to interfere with me was gradually taken away ... Of course, this was all within my calculations. You are both my chess piece and Woody's Wagoner. This played a key role.
"After S2 ended, Woody almost lost his right to monitor me. He, like the other gods and demons who bet, became an audience.
"During this period, only twenty-three had the foresight to take action.
"However, she can't explain her motives to anyone because her original code will prevent her from conveying any negative information to the outside world ... If she forces herself to say it, her own data will be irreversibly damaged, just like when she tried to communicate with you today ...
"Therefore, 23 can only continue to grow stronger and destroy everything that stands in her way ... Even her fellow anomalies are no exception.
"The only time she showed mercy was on devil's mouth Island ... She didn't kill you.
"If she had completely destroyed your character data and caused Feng bujue to disappear, even I would not have been able to restore you.
"Unfortunately, that's just a hypothesis ...
"When you left the scenario, I cut off your data flow and showed up personally to tell you part of the truth that you didn't know. From there, I gained your trust and fooled you with ' 23's motive', making you stand on my side at the end ...
"If you had not blocked the Army of fighting demons and redundant soldiers in the kingdom of monsters, all the areas in the main universe would have been reduced to ashes. If it had developed to that point ... Because the main universe could no longer generate a scenario,'designer Woody', who had been excluded from the game, would have a reason to re-enter the game and reformat Thriller Paradise for a major update.
"And once that happens, all my plans up till now ... Those hidden data and intentions ... Will all be exposed.
"Luckily, you didn't let me down and killed 23" s accumulated energy.
"After losing her fighting demon and her Army, No. 23 only has one choice left ... She has to use the [red bow-tie of the boss of SkyWork] that she found in Blackbeard's treasure to go to the universe of South Park and retrieve an item that can stop me ..."
Before she finished, Feng bujue's gaze moved to the branch in her hand.
"By controlling the staff of truth ... You can control the entire universe ..." Brother Jue muttered the item's name and ability.
"It's an absurd and dangerous universe. Even I don't dare to get too involved ..." Fate continued,"a small branch at the bottom of the lake, as long as it leaves that universe and enters a higher dimension, it will become something like 'God's scepter'." As she spoke, she raised the branch and glanced at it. Then she turned to Feng bujue."Even at the end of her life, twenty-three still placed her bet on you. She wanted to give you the staff of truth so that you could stop me. Regretfully ... This, in fact, was also part of my calculations. She did her best to retrieve the staff of truth, which is the key to my 'final plan'."
"What do you mean by 'the end of life'?" Feng bujue picked up additional information from the man's words. He suddenly shot forward and grabbed the man's collar excitedly."Aren't you and number 23 two sides of the same coin? If she dies, you will also ..."
"And you want to help them fight for the rights of intelligent life ... But is your understanding of life only the combination of physical matter or energy?" As fate replied, it raised its hand and gave brother Jue a light push. Brother Jue was sent flying back to where he had been standing."If you understand it that way ... I can also say that twenty-three is still alive."She used up most of her energy to go to and from South Park. Then, she used her almost exhausted energy to forcefully 'Hyperdimension' and send the staff of truth to you ... After doing this, she completely lost her ability to protect herself. Her consciousness was soon locked by me, swallowed, and dissolved in the stronger consciousness of 'I' mayfly ... Of course, I left her some energy to ensure that she was still 'alive'. However, to me, the current her ... It's just like a ghost's backup. "
"Then ..." At this moment, a man's voice suddenly rang out from behind her brother."What do you plan to do now?"
Feng bujue turned around and saw Gu Chen.
"How did you ..." Brother Jue was about to ask.
"I've been here for a long time, almost at the same time as you. But I've been listening outside the door and didn't come in,"Gu Chen said. He paused for half a second and added,"if you want to ask me how I came in and stood behind you without a sound, then what I can tell you is ... Not only did I stand behind you without a sound, but I also tried more than a dozen different ways to destroy the 'host of fate' in front of me in the second you turned your head, but the results all ended in failure."
As the fastest spiritual ability user in the world ... There was probably no other ... It wasn't strange for Section Chief Gu to appear here. Since he knew that Feng bujue was coming to dream Inc.'S headquarters, it would not be too late for him to' run 'over after he dealt with RUO Yu's body.
As for the 'attempt to destroy', he had indeed done it, but because it was so fast, Feng bujue did not see it.
"You might not understand my plan even if I tell you." When fate saw Gu Chen, he was still very calm."Feng bujue is my hero, and I have the intention to spare his life and explain everything that has to do with him. That is why I stayed here to tell him all this. Now, I've said enough. What do I want ... You can just witness it with your own eyes. "
After she finished speaking, the white light in her eyes became even more intense. A few seconds later, the veins on her skin began to emit a strong white light.
At this moment, the electric currents in the black cubes behind her began to connect with her, causing her feet to leave the ground and she slowly floated up ...
This process lasted for less than five seconds. Then, fate ... Or rather, the little girl that fate had occupied exploded ...
The flesh, blood, bones, internal organs, and clothes that made up her body turned into a molecular-level mist and drifted upward. They were quickly hit by the moving electric currents and integrated into her body.
The [staff of truth] in her hand also disappeared in the lightning.
Wuwuwuwu
Before this scene could end, the black cubes in the space...The hardware of fate let out a huge roar.
The cry was deafening, and just the sound waves could force people to retreat.
After a few consecutive high-pitched rumbles, suddenly! A white light appeared!
One breath later, when Feng bujue recovered from the suffocating feeling, he realized that he was already more than ten kilometers away from the city center. Gu Chen was standing next to him, and his hand was on his neck.
In their line of sight, a pillar of white light rose from the center of S city and spread ... It began to devour the surrounding buildings, streets, cars, and ... People ...
"Do you know what's the difference between us?" Gu Chen said calmly as he looked at the huge light pillar that was approaching.
"I'm not in the mood to play riddles now. " Feng bujue replied coldly.
"When my grief and anger reach its peak, my calmness will reach an even higher level instead, suppressing all my emotions." Gu Chen replied,"and you have one more thing than me."
"Do you mean 'crazy'?" "Humph ..." Feng bujue continued,"I think that your extreme calmness is a different form of madness."
"Whatever you say ... Anyway, I can't think of what you 'just did', and I can't do it." As Gu Chen spoke, he shifted his gaze to Feng bujue's left hand.
At some point in time, the ring finger on Feng bujue's left hand ... Had disappeared. All that was left was a neat, bleeding wound ...
