"Well... I understand." Feng Bujue said: "I have two more things I want to confirm with you." He asked: "First, why do you want to become a human being? As a member of the Xing tribe, you should deeply understand We know how unbearable human beings are, but why do you want to give up your own strength and talent to become one of them?" He paused and then said: "Secondly, why do you let me live until now? You are the only one doing these experiments. Humans can accomplish it, right?"
Arthur took a deep look at Feng Bujue and sneered: "Hmph... maybe you don't believe it even if I tell you."
Feng Bujue also smiled, "Then let me make a bold guess." He walked slowly, as if he was a detective performing a mystery show, and began to narrate: "Human beings, as a species with a limited life span, have a limited lifespan. Intelligent creatures with rich emotions will change their thoughts and behaviors according to the passage of time. The same person's behavior at the age of forty will naturally be different from that at the age of twenty, and different from that at the age of thirty. .In this regard, I think you, as a member of the Xing tribe, are no exception."
Feng Bujue's tone was full of confidence when he said this, "Therefore, as long as we speculate on your thoughts and actions at that moment based on the chronological order, everything can have a reasonable explanation." He paused, He said: "When we were young, whether it was the affection between brothers or the love for our mother, it was undoubtedly real and pure." He held up the yellowed photo, "Just like this photo. It’s the same as it appears.”
After a few seconds, he changed the topic, "Unfortunately, our mother has other plans. I'm afraid she didn't expect that when you grow up to thirteen or fourteen years old, you will see through her conspiracy." Feng Bujue sighed, "Can you just kill her? Of course you can, but that would obviously cause a series of problems.
In order to survive, our family has to deal with outsiders to some extent, and mother's death cannot be covered up by "killing and burying it". You have to find a seemingly reasonable cause of death.
So, you created the illusion of illness. A long and incurable terminal illness is undoubtedly a very good transition. As the eldest son, you can naturally take over the farm and family affairs during this period, and have contact with our family. Everyone, including me, will be mentally prepared for what is about to happen.
In addition, according to my personal speculation, there is another important reason why you chose this method, that is... when a person knows that her death is approaching, you can see her nature more clearly."
When Feng Bujue said this, he couldn't help but think of himself. Speaking of which... he was also suffering from a strange neurological disease and could die suddenly every second. But he still lived his life as if nothing had happened. What should he do? Well, what is this? Is life beyond love? No, everything doesn’t matter? It doesn’t seem right either. Then he is a madman...
"You're right... That woman found out that she could not escape death, and also knew that she no longer had the ability or time to take away my power, so she chose to 'use' me and use family affection as a bargaining chip. Let me die before she died. Then, take good care of her biological son." Arthur replied.
"And you did agree to her." Feng Bujue continued.
"Ha... she deserves it." Arthur smiled, "It's really not easy for her to perform so hard and hypocritically for more than ten years. And objectively speaking, she provided me with food, shelter, education and care. , no matter what her starting point is, I should give her a certain reward."
"You really have a clear distinction between good and evil, and you are decisive in killing." Feng Bujue smiled and said, "Is incurable disease also part of the reward?"
"Of course." Arthur replied: "If I don't end her life in this way, but wait until the day she decides to attack me and then fight back, she will die even worse."
"Well... let's talk about what happened after her death..." Feng Bujue continued, "You kept your promise and didn't kill me. And you treated me like your own brother. No matter what kind of person your mother is, we are still the same.
The brotherhood between us has not changed. At that time, you had an idea. You want to become a human being. You want to live a peaceful life like other people. You don’t have to worry about being a member of the Xing tribe, or harm your family and friends.
." He looked at Arthur, waiting for the other party's response.
Arthur did not deny it, he just said lightly: "It's a pity that things went counterproductive."
"I admire the choice you made." Feng Bujue said: "If I were in the shoes of a Xing clan member, I would never consider becoming a human being. Haha... From this point of view, in our respective
If you do a vertical comparison among different races, you are kinder."
"Huh...really..." Arthur sneered.
"But..." Feng Bujue turned around and said, "After you started your research, things gradually got out of control. As I said before, many things will change at this time and at that time. Often when we look back,
, only then did I realize that what I was doing now had already deviated from the original intention." He stretched out two fingers, "I think there are two keys to changing you. First, in the constant killing, your instinct of punishing people has been suppressed.
Awakened; secondly, you discovered something strange about me...you finally discovered that the seemingly kind and loyal brother was acting in front of you just like 'that woman'."
Arthur continued: "So, I forged an ancient book on soul exchange alchemy, and deliberately created an opportunity for you to discover it, as a test." He smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect you to give it up without hesitation.
That thing hid itself and secretly started your plan."
"Yeah, I deserved it when I got to this point." Feng Bujue admitted his mistake on Andrew's behalf without any pressure, "I have one last question now... Why, until now, you still don't kill me?"
He asked, "And...it seems like you still want to save me?"
"Yeah...why..." Arthur replied: "When the refining process started, I was completely disappointed with you. Your eyes were full of undisguised excitement and fanaticism, without any hesitation." He sighed.
He took a breath and said, "After the refining failed, I looked at your appearance and asked myself if there was any reason to keep you alive." He raised his head and stared at Feng Bujue: "Not one." He stood up, "But I'm going to
I couldn't help it, because at that moment, I realized that you are my only relative in the world." He shook his head: "Although we are not related by blood, I still regard you as my younger brother. How I wish I could return to
More than ten years ago..." He took the photo from Feng Bujue's hand and looked at the two giggling children in the photo: "...to regain that innocent and beautiful time."
Feng Bujue also sighed: "Now that things have happened, what are your plans?"
"I'm leaving, forever." Arthur said: "I don't know who your biological father is or what he is...so I can't explain what is happening to you at this moment." He said and walked out the door.
He walked over and said, "During this period, I rethought the reasons for the failure of alchemy... To cure you, I must first know 'what' you are. As long as you know this, you can do it with your alchemy level."
The treatment is complete." He raised his head and said, "Go and ask the woman upstairs about this yourself."
"What did you say..." Feng Bujue asked in confusion. Arthur's words made him very puzzled.
"You've discovered her a long time ago, haven't you? Otherwise, how could you say these words, and how could you end up like this?" Arthur said, "Humph... I think you will become like this. It's basically her."
You must have instigated it." He said this, passed through the gate, turned around and disappeared from Feng Bujue's sight.
Feng Bujue immediately turned around and followed him out, only to find that there was no one in the corridor.
"Could it be that...their mother is still alive?" Feng Bujue thought.
[The current task has been completed, and all main tasks have been completed] The task prompt sounded, but the prompt that the script was completed did not come.
After a few seconds, a new prompt appeared:
[The plot of "Arthur's Servants" has been triggered and witnessed. 】
[The items you are carrying have been detected: "Dirty Soap", "Carved Dentures", "Perfume", "Feather Hat", "Soaked Blanket", "Prosthetic Eyes"]
[Enter the hidden ending process]
[Hidden mission has been triggered]
【Kill "Candis".】
"That's it..." Feng Bujue held his chin and said, "I see... these two are the ways to enter the 'true' ending. If I enter the gray room without meeting the above two conditions, what I may encounter is
It’s a battle, not a dialogue story. Nine times out of ten, you won’t be able to beat it... Even if you barely win, it won’t be clear when you pass the level.” He was thinking as he walked towards the stairs.
It didn't take him too long to get to the second floor. This time, the room that couldn't be opened finally changed. The black figure from before was now standing in front of the big iron door, seemingly waiting for the player.
arrival.
"This place is indeed where the final hidden boss is. After triggering the dialogue with Arthur, you can come here." Feng Bujue thought to himself.
He first ran to the room with the collapsed floor, broke off a piece of wood, then came to the corridor, took out the [anti-gravity catapult], absorbed the wooden board, aimed at the black shadow and shouted: "Say! Are you Chandy?
Silk’s bodyguard!”
The black shadow remained motionless and did not respond.
Feng Bujue would not attack rashly unless he had to, so before pressing the launch button, he tried to use the first special effect of the Diamond Bell to check the opponent. Unexpectedly, the black shadow was not a monster, but an NPC...
