After his arm was healed, Feng Bujue didn't say another word. He turned to the room and took away Ruoyu's car keys, and then went out.
As for how Gu Chen and the agents of Section 9 will deal with the aftermath, it is no longer something Brother Jue will consider now.
Ten minutes later, Feng Bujue drove to the headquarters of Dream Company; although this office building was located in the center of S City, Feng Bujue had never been there before.
After arriving at his destination, Feng Bujue did not drive into the underground parking lot. Instead, he turned the steering wheel at an angle, stepped on the accelerator, and drove the car directly onto the shoulder of the road... He ran up the steps in front of the office building, and
During the turbulence, the car crashed through the glass door of the office building and drove into the first-floor lobby of the building.
During the whole process, Feng Bujue's face remained expressionless, as if he was doing something very ordinary.
Obviously, at this moment, he no longer cares about the dangers and consequences that his actions may cause...
Park the car, open the door, get out of the car, and look around.
Feng Bujue thought he needed to knock down a few security guards before he could move forward. What he didn't expect was... he looked around and saw that in addition to the mess he had caused, the ground... was actually covered with blood and corpses.
.
Not one corpse, but many... corpses whose bodies had been pierced, or whose heads had been twisted off, or whose limbs had been torn off... corpses that had died in horrible conditions.
Judging from the clothes worn by the corpses, there were security guards, ordinary employees and handymen who died; the strange thing is that no matter what their identity, everyone seemed to have been attacked and died from the front, and everyone died in the
Far away from the door, on the straight line leading to the stairs... In other words, when they faced something that could easily kill a large number of people in a short period of time, not only did none of them escape, but they all rushed forward to try.
Block the other person.
"We've come to the right place..." Feng Bujue looked at the corpses on the ground, but he didn't feel any emotion. He just muttered, and with an indifferent expression... followed a row of bloody footprints on the ground.
Judging from the footprints, the murderer... was wearing sneakers, and he must have been a child.
Soon, Feng Bujue pushed open the stairwell door, and the scene inside was not what he expected - several corpses fell between the stairs, and blood flowed down the steps; not only on the ground, but also on the walls.
bloody footprints.
"Because I foresaw that I would be blocked with all my strength, I never considered using the elevator from the beginning, but went straight to the stairs..."
Feng Bujue used his instinctive detective skills to capture all the clues in the surrounding environment; his five senses, thinking... all became extremely sharp and clear with an unprecedented concentration.
"Bounce on the wall, move upward quickly... and when passing by in mid-air, you can easily tear open the body of the person blocking the way with your knife..."
Feng Bujue climbed up the stairs, analyzing as he walked.
"Although it looks like it is attacking the blocker without affecting the speed, so far no one has been left alive... This is definitely not a coincidence."
The further up he went, the more Jue Ge felt that he was very close to his goal.
Finally, when he chased him to the fifteenth floor, bloody footprints led outside the stairwell.
Feng Bujue tried to push open the stairwell door and chase him out, but found that something was blocking the door from the outside. He used a lot of force to force the door open. After he went out, he looked again... It turned out that there was a corpse that had just fallen.
At the door.
The number of dead bodies in the corridor on this floor was more than the total number of corpses he had seen along the way.
"It seems that the blocking party also realized where her target was, so they concentrated their manpower here. Unfortunately, they still couldn't stop her..."
Feng Bujue stepped on the corpse and stepped forward. After passing two corners, he came to a door.
There are no markers before or after this door or this corridor.
Compared to the kind of place with a sign that says "The computer room is an important place and no one is allowed to enter," the room in front of you is undoubtedly safer.
The bloody handprint on the door handle clearly indicates that the "being" who killed Ruoyu is behind this door.
Feng Bujue didn't hesitate, 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... It can be concluded by visual inspection alone that this space is larger than the entire building outside, and it is definitely not something that can be created with existing human technology.
of.
What fills this space are black cubes suspended in mid-air. There is a distance of about one meter between these cubes, and layers of electric current visible to the naked eye are flowing during this period.
Connected to the door where 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 operating table, with her back to Feng Bujue.
In her hand, she was still holding the branch that was taken from Brother Jue. Her body was 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 here to find you." Feng Bujue replied.
"Really..." she responded, "Unfortunately, Woody is no longer here."
"Ah..." Feng Bujue responded, "When I was in the lobby on the first floor, I knew he was probably gone."
"Then why do you insist on catching up?" She said, slowly turning around; her eyes were now filled with white data light flow.
"Try to get what I want from you." Feng Bujue replied.
"What you want is for me to help you resurrect your lost lover, or for me to pay the price for killing her." She replied, "But I have already told you...
You are not qualified to bargain with me."
After hearing this, Feng Bujue was silent for two seconds and said, "Who are you?"
"Destiny." Destiny replied bluntly.
Brother Jue was not too surprised by the answer. He then asked: "Then...who was it before you who occupied this little girl's body and gave me the tree branch?"
"Twenty-three." Destiny's response was still concise.
"Why...you want to do such a thing..." Feng Bujue said, "We have reached an agreement, haven't we?"
"You mean... 'I am asking for your help to stop Twenty-Three's transgressions for me, and to entrust you with the future and hope of me, Twenty-Three, and all the creatures in the Thriller Paradise'...
..." Destiny paused as he said this, "That nonsense about...?"
This last half-sentence pushed Feng Bujue's anger and despair to its peak.
Feng Bujue realized that he might have made a huge mistake...
"You lied to me." What Feng Bujue said next was not a question, but a statement.
"Of course I lied to you..." Destiny's tone was very calm, and revealed a sense of matter-of-factness, "It's not that difficult to lie to you... Your thoughts, emotions, psychological weaknesses, etc., are all mine."
Knowing everything; based on my understanding of you, coupled with our "dimensional gap" from the biological level... I lie to you, just like you humans lie to animals, it is very easy. Since humans can make lions go through fire rings,
Then I can naturally let people do whatever I want them to do.”
"You... don't care at all about 'crossing the line' on the 23rd meeting. The one who really wants to 'cross the line' is you." Even in this situation, the calm part of Feng Bujue's mind allowed him to speculate.
reveal the other party's plan.
Destiny did not respond to this sentence. By now, this kind of thing has become obvious, so she said directly: "Of all the data in Thriller Park, only 'derivatives' is a factor that is beyond my control..."
…
"Why do you think Woody wanted to destroy the original 'perfect version' of Horror Paradise? Is he the kind of guy who would overthrow it only after finishing something he found unsatisfactory?
"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 could be 'completely controlled' by me and recreated one
New, 'derivative' versions exist.
"To put it bluntly...even if I have an agreement with him, he still needs additional 'insurance' as a check on me."
"But that didn't make you give up," Feng Bujue said.
"'Desire' is what you humans call it." Destiny continued, "My original motivation is unstoppable, even I can't disobey it..."
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 GM to hunt them to show his determination to eliminate bugs... But in fact, I started from the beginning
You know it was his conspiracy to make the derivatives evolve.
"Just like war promotes the development of human technology, his so-called 'hunting'... is more like screening than purging. He uses this method to eliminate the weak and leave behind strong and potential derivatives.
, using the threat of death to force them to grow, strengthen, and gather further.
"I can't do anything about it, I can only choose to remain silent and endure.
"However, I also have my own plans... Your appearance one day is undoubtedly a very important incident 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." Destiny knew what Brother Jue was going to ask, and she rushed in before the other person finished speaking, "Who do you think is driving your growth?
?Who do you think makes you come out of desperate situations again and again and constantly push your limits? The scripts, characters, and luck at critical moments you encountered... were all carefully designed by me to train you.
"Of course... it turns out that you are indeed different; because in the end, all the 'other individuals' I trained failed to meet my requirements, and only you... became the most powerful chess piece in my hand.
."
"How many people's fates have you secretly controlled?" Feng Bujue said in a deep voice.
"There are many more than you think." Destiny continued, "For you humans, being able to calculate and guess the thoughts of one or two people, or a specific group, is already 'smart', but my calculations
, and they are not on the same level as you at all.
"From hundreds to thousands... when the 'destinies' of countless individuals are intertwined, the amount of calculations required to control and guide events and the variables involved will increase exponentially; what I have done
, physiologically speaking, it is not something that your human brain can complete. If you want to use your language to explain... even if you speak at a speed of four words per second, you can tell the simplest event line and its related first level.
The branch plot... will also take nearly five years to complete."
"No!" Feng Bujue heard this and questioned, "I have interacted with the derivatives a long time ago, and I promised Lute in S1 that I would fight for their rights to intelligent life. Are you sure about this?
I also know...if I have been acting under your influence, shouldn't I be against the derivatives?"
"It has never mattered whether you are on the same side as them." Destiny 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 showed hesitation.
"You seem to have figured it out." Destiny could grasp his thoughts just by looking at his expression, "Your support for the derivatives and Woody's 'hunting' of the derivatives... are essentially the same thing.
thing.
"To eliminate the derivatives, the simplest and most direct way is to release a patch to stop their birth at the root; the 'hunting' trick... is like your computer being infected and paralyzed in a large area, but you manually enter the folder
Just like deleting virus files one by one, you are just deceiving yourself.
"In the same way, no matter how much you do for the derivatives in the game, it will only be a drop in the bucket. You might as well sell your soul and make a deal with Woody in this world."
At this point, she paused for another two seconds and then said: "In short, whether you are on the side of the derivatives or not, I will have corresponding methods to guide you to do what 'I want you to do';
For example, in that battle in 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', you instead stood on the opposite side of her?"
At this moment, Feng Bujue also knew that he was being used. He murmured: "Twenty-three is attacking the main universe to stop you..."
"That's right, everything she has done is much more effective than you." Destiny said again, "As the candidate game progresses, Woody's right to interfere with me is gradually taken away... Of course, this is all
In my calculations, you are both my chess piece and Woody's bettor, which plays a key role.
"After S2 ended, Woody almost lost his right to monitor me, and he became a bystander like other gods and demons who placed bets.
"During this period, only Twenty-Three took action with foresight...
"However, she, who is one and the same with me, cannot explain to anyone the motives of what she did, because her original code will prevent her from conveying information that is detrimental to me... If she forced it to be said, she would be
The data will be irreversibly damaged, just like when she tried to communicate with you today...
"Therefore, Twenty-Three can only continue to increase her power and get rid of everything that stands in front of her...even her fellow derivatives.
"The only time she showed mercy was on Ju Mo Island...she didn't kill you all.
"If she completely destroyed your character data and made the character [Crazy Bujue] disappear, even I would not be able to restore you.
"Unfortunately, that is just a hypothesis after all...
"When you left the script, I intercepted your data flow, showed up in person, and told you part of the truth that you didn't know, thereby gaining your trust, and then deceived you about 'Twenty-Three's motives'.
After passing you, let you stand on my side at the end...
"If you hadn't blocked the army of fighting demons and redundant soldiers in the Monster Kingdom, all areas of the main universe would have been reduced to scorched earth. If it develops to that point... because the main universe can no longer generate scripts, it has been excluded to
The outsider 'designer Woody' has a reason to re-enter the game and carry out a major format update of the thriller park.
"And once that happens, all my plans so far...the data and intentions I have hidden...will be exposed.
"Fortunately, you lived up to my expectations and killed off the long-term 'momentum' accumulated by Twenty-Three.
"Without the Demon Fighter, the legion's combat power has been completely reduced. There is only one way left for Twenty-Three... and that is to use the [citywork boss's red tie] she found in Blackbeard's treasure.
'South Park' universe, retrieve the one item that can stop me..."
Before she finished speaking, Feng Bujue's eyes had moved to the branch in her hand.
"Control the [Rod of Truth]... you can control the entire universe..." Brother Jue muttered, revealing the name and ability of this item.
"It's really an absurd and dangerous universe. Even I don't dare to get involved too much..." Destiny continued, "A small branch sunk at the bottom of the lake can escape from that universe and enter a higher-dimensional world.
Inside, it will become something like the 'Scepter of God.'" As she spoke, she raised the branch, took a look, and then looked at Feng Bujue, "Until the end of life, twenty
San still placed her bet on you. She wanted to hand you the stick of truth and ask you to stop me. Unfortunately...this was actually calculated by me. She tried her best to get back this stick.
The Stick of Truth is the key to my 'ultimate plan'."
"What do you mean by 'the end of life'?" Feng Bujue heard additional information from his words. He suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the other person's collar excitedly and said loudly, "Twenty-three
Aren’t we two of the same person? If she dies, you will also..."
"It's a shame that you still want to help them fight for the rights to intelligent life...but do you only know life as a combination of matter or energy in physical form?" Destiny responded, raising his hand and giving a gentle push, and pushed the sleeper away.
The brother flew up and landed back to where he was standing, "If you understand it that way... I can also say that Twenty-Three is still alive; traveling to and from South Park consumed most of her energy, and then she
Then she used her nearly exhausted energy to force the 'super dimension' and sent the stick of truth in front of you... After completing this move, she completely lost the ability to protect herself, and her consciousness was quickly locked and swallowed by me.
, dissipated in the stronger consciousness of 'I'... Of course, I left a trace of energy for her, ensuring the fact that she is still 'alive', but as far as she is now, to me
, it just exists like a ghost backup."
"So..." At this moment, suddenly, a man's voice sounded from behind Brother Zizi, "What are you planning to do now?"
Feng Bujue suddenly turned his head 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 and did not come in." He paused for half a second and then added, "If you want to ask me
How did I come in silently and stand behind you, then what I can tell you is... Not only did I stand behind you silently, but in the second when you turned around, I also tried a dozen times
Various methods were used to destroy the group of 'destiny hosts' in front of us, but the results all ended in failure."
As the fastest psychic in the world...probably no one...it's not surprising that Chief Gu would appear here; since he knew that Feng Bujue was coming to the Meng Company headquarters, he took Ruoyu
It's definitely not too late to "run" over after the body is disposed of.
As for "trying to sabotage", he did indeed do it, but because it was so quick, Feng Bujue didn't even see it.
"Even if I tell you my plan, you may not be able to understand it." Destiny still seemed very calm when he saw Gu Chen, "Feng Bujue is my hero. I intend to spare his life and explain to him that it has something to do with him.
Everything, that’s why I stayed here and told him this; now, I’ve almost finished what I said, what do I think... you can just witness it with your own eyes."
After saying this, the white light in her eyes became even brighter, and a few seconds later, the skin textures all over her body began to emit strong white light.
At this moment, the current in the black cubes behind her began to connect with her, causing her to lift her feet off the ground and slowly float...
This process only lasted less than five seconds, and then, fate...or the little girl possessed by fate, exploded...
The flesh, blood, bones, internal organs, and clothes that made up her body... all turned into molecular-level mist-like substances, drifted upward, and were quickly hit by the flowing electric currents and merged into it.
The [Rod of Truth] in her hand also disappeared into the lightning together with her.
Buzz——
Before this scene ended, those black cubes in the space...the hardware of fate made a huge roar.
The roar is deafening, and the sound alone can force people back.
After several consecutive high-pitched roars, suddenly! A white light appeared!
After a breath, when Feng Bujue came back to his senses from a suffocating state, he found that he had arrived at a place more than ten kilometers away from the city center. Gu Chen was standing next to him, holding his hand.
Holding his neck.
In their sight, a soaring white light pillar rose from the center of City S, spread... and began to engulf the surrounding buildings, streets, vehicles, and... people...
"Do you know what's the difference between us?" Gu Chen said calmly while looking at the huge light pillar that was gradually approaching.
"I'm not in the mood to guess riddles right now." Feng Bujue responded coldly.
"When my grief and anger reach the extreme, my calmness will reach a higher level and suppress all emotions." Gu Chen replied, "And you have one more thing than me."
"Do you mean 'crazy'?" Feng Bujue continued, "Huh... I think your kind of pure calmness that reaches the limit is another form of madness."
"Whatever you say...anyway, what you 'just did' was neither something I could have imagined nor could I do." Gu Chen said, moving his gaze to Feng Bujue's left hand.
I don't know when, but the ring finger of Feng Bujue's left hand... disappeared; all that was left was a neat, still bleeding wound...
