Following the system's instructions, Feng Bujue drank a bottle of Life Points Recovery Potion as he ran toward the corridor. This replenished the Life Points that he had lost earlier.
Then, following the system's instructions, he ran all the way back to the entrance of the corridor.
Due to Brother Jue's previous actions, the foundation did not send any guards to stop him. From their perspective, this kind of action was no different from a suicide mission.
"The door of this corridor is very sturdy. It is recommended that you summon Ma Sun to destroy it."
"Understood." At this point, Feng Bujue basically obeyed the system's instructions.
After he answered in his heart, he summoned Ma Sun.
However, the Spirit General's Shadow that was shining with golden light suddenly appeared and slashed with its blade.
After a set of "Chinese Slash Dance", the metal door before him was reduced to a pile of metal shards.
Buzz!
However, the next second, a dense net of laser beams appeared before Brother Jue.
The net of laser beams was layered and intertwined in a disorderly manner. Furthermore, each beam was moving at a constant speed. This defensive measure extended all the way to the other end of the corridor. Even a fly … might not be able to fly through it, much less a human.
"What should I do?"
"Destroy the top of the corridor and run through it. You must reach the other end within thirty seconds and re-enter the building. You must hold your breath during the process."
"Hmm?" This notification reminded Feng Bujue of something. "What's happening outside the building?"
"The atmosphere of this Earth is no longer suitable for human survival. Breathing the air outside might cause harm to your body."
"Hmm … I see." Feng Bujue mumbled to himself as he controlled Ma Sun to open up a path.
Opening up a hole at the top of the corridor was not difficult. After he was done, Brother Jue jumped out and sprinted toward the top of the corridor. In less than twenty seconds, he had reached the other end of the corridor. Then, he used the same method to cut open the ceiling under his feet.
After he jumped back into the corridor, he cut open the door that connected to the other end of the corridor. Just like that … he successfully returned to the right side of the corridor.
[The main control room is on the third floor. The base commander has already deduced your target. All the forces in the right half of the base have been transferred to the third floor to set up a defense.]
"Then … Directly approach the target's room from the second floor, then blow open the ceiling …" Feng Bujue's mind immediately reflected the most reasonable strategy. "… What do you think?"
[This is the best plan at the moment, but the walls of the main control room are all reinforced with superalloy, and this doesn't include the defensive layer between the second and third floors,] the system replied. [It is recommended that you use the 'Super Death Ma Sun Golden Double Fist Hammer' on the target area to destroy the stability of the superalloy structure, and then use the trick you used to break through the elevator car to break through.]
"Okay, lead the way." Feng Bujue had no objections and replied decisively.
Two minutes later, Brother Jue arrived at the corridor below the main control room.
Just as the 'system' said, all the forces in the right half of the base had been transferred to the third floor, so Feng Bujue was not stopped at all.
The default duration of Ma Sun's existence was five minutes. Brother Jue still had [Alchemist King's Taunt], which could extend this duration by a few minutes. Therefore, Ma Sun's time limit was still left, and he could continue to fight.
[After you go up, do your best to destroy the equipment in the control room. As long as the control room is destroyed, the 'means of communication' between the base and the outside world will be cut off.]
"In other words … other means of communication other than 'means of communication' still exist?" When Feng Bujue asked this question, he had already controlled Ma Sun to start 'punching' the ceiling.
[Existence,] the system replied. [Those projects that 'if the containment fails, it will trigger a nuclear attack program' all have an independent communication mechanism.]
"Hmph … I understand." Feng Bujue sneered. He understood the 'system's' plan as soon as he heard it.
As long as he went up there to cause a ruckus and cut off the foundation's communication channel regarding SCP-3232, then the mission would basically be completed.
What he needed to do next was simple. He just needed to find an extremely dangerous project that would trigger a nuclear attack the moment it was released and destroy its containment mechanism.
Bang bang bang bang!
Just as Brother Jue was communicating with the system, Ma Sun's attacks had already deformed the ceiling above his head and made it rumble.
[It's done.]
Following the confirmation from the system, Feng Bujue stepped on the ground and twisted his body. With a spin, he launched an upward 'Electric Venomous Dragon Drill'.
A few seconds later, like a human drill, he 'drilled' into the control room on the third floor.
After that, the system urged him again. [They are preparing to send information to the outside world. Please destroy it as soon as possible.]
Feng Bujue didn't need to be urged. As soon as he reached the third floor, he used both hands to support himself on the ground, did a split, and used all his strength to execute a 'Rankyaku: Zhou Duan'. Then, he changed to using one hand to support himself on the ground, turned his body sideways, and kicked in all directions at the same time.
"I'll name this move 'Rankyaku: Revolving Lotus'. What do you think?" Since there was no one around, Feng Bujue directly started a conversation with the system.
[No comment.] However, the system didn't seem to be interested in chatting with him.
Not long after, Feng Bujue had destroyed almost all the equipment in the huge control room. Even the automatic fire sprinkler on the roof was kicked out by him.
[Destruction successful. The message was not sent out. It will take at least forty minutes to restore communication,] the system said. [Fifteen seconds ago, the base commander sent out an order. Two level four personnel are planning to evacuate this place and send out a message.]
"Do you want me to stop them?" Feng Bujue asked.
[No need. As long as you trigger a nuclear attack within ten minutes, they won't be able to escape the range of destruction,] the system replied. [Now, return to the second floor through the hole you just drilled out.]
Feng Bujue heard this and jumped out of the hole in the ground in a flash. As soon as he stood still, the next notification came.
[At seven o 'clock, go straight for fifty meters. Turn right. Go straight for ten meters. Turn right again.]
A series of clear instructions rang in his mind one after another. Brother Jue received and executed them with great efficiency.
Long story short … After only three minutes, Brother Jue arrived at the door of a containment room on the first basement floor.
"Is this the place?" He stood at the door and asked, "What's inside?"
[SCP-1440] ("The Old Man of Unknown Origin". This project originated from the legend of "The Old Man Gambling with the Three Death Gods". Its characteristic is that it will not age or die, but it will constantly bring death and destruction to everything that comes into contact with it and is related to humans.)
"He has been successfully taken in?" Feng Bujue was instantly reminded of the information on that project, and he wondered aloud.
[Yes, because the foundation of this era has analyzed the composition of SCP-409. They have applied this technology to the containment facilities of some special projects. The inner wall of the room 1440 is made of a modified version of SCP-409's material. It achieved a balance between proliferation and collapse during containment of the project.]
"Then … this room …" Feng Bujue immediately thought, "Only level four personnel have the authority to open it, right?"
The other meaning of his question was … "Should I go find another high-level personnel and chop off another hand?"
[No, the door of this room is sealed. After the foundation completed the containment, they did not plan to open it again. However, the room is equipped with sensors. When the room is damaged to a certain extent …]
Boom!
Before the system finished, Feng Bujue kicked out with Rankyaku Kick.
His kick was not that powerful, but it did not matter. As long as a visible crack appeared on the wall of the room, the result would be …
"Well done, Feng Bujue.
"The nuclear bomb has been fired. After the nuclear attack, all observation records will be erased, and I can cut off my connection with this world."
Just as the 'system' said that …
"Current quest completed. All main quests have been completed.
"You have completed the scenario. You will be automatically teleported out after 180 seconds (After this update, the time spent in a solo scenario has been changed to 180 seconds)."
Finally, two familiar system announcements appeared to tell Feng Bujue that his' quest 'in this scenario had been completed.
"Phew … In a way, this scenario was quite easy …" Feng Bujue sighed in relief.
…
At the same time, inside the real foundation's facility.
Dr. Cox, who sat behind her desk, also sighed in relief.
She looked at Feng Bujue on the big screen before her and revealed a smug smile.
Two seconds later, a colleague from the observation team praised the doctor in the communication channel. "Doctor, the 'well done' evaluation should have been given to you."
When he said that, there was an obvious burst of laughter coming from the side. It looked like … the workers in the observation room were quite satisfied with the result of this experiment.
"Hah … It's okay. This is not the first time I've pretended to be a 'system'." Cox pressed the button on the communicator and replied, "But … this is the first time I've communicated directly with an object and said so many words." At this point, her eyes could not help but turn to Brother Jue on the screen. "But this player called 'Feng Bujue' is indeed very good … Even if we ignore the data and focus on the brain … he is the best player I've seen so far."
"Hmm, that's not wrong …" the voice in the communication channel said. "After all, he is the first player to successfully break through the second floor of the mirror world. I wonder if there will be other players who can do it in the future."
"I don't think … that's possible," Cox replied. "At the end of the day … the universe they are in, or rather the era, is far less advanced than ours. In their world, even in East Asia and Europe, where the average IQ is the highest, the average IQ of an adult is no more than 110. But here … since the introduction of genetic modification technology, ninety-five percent of the people have an IQ above 130 in the pre-school test. Combined with the difference in technology and education, we will be much more ahead of them when we reach adulthood …"
At this point, she paused for two seconds before continuing. "And this' Feng Bujue 'before us is without a doubt an extreme example. Apart from himself, the others could not even sense the existence of the 'hint', but not only did he successfully decipher the 'hint given by the real System of the First Layer', he had also swiftly grasped the hint given by the System of the Second Layer which he had impersonated. Unfortunately … that's all there is to it. "
The professor's tone changed slightly, and he continued with melancholy. "At the end of the day, it is still the difference in dimensions. When he reached the second floor of the mirror world, an environment where 'all the details are under our control', he will not be able to escape the fate of being a marionette."
…
Obviously, at that moment, Professor Cox thought that everything was over.
But just as she started to chat with her colleagues …
"Ha … Haha …" Feng Bujue, who was on the screen, started to laugh for no reason.
When he started to laugh, the laughter on the faces of Professor Cox and the observers … disappeared instantly.
Two seconds later, the professor quickly leaned back to the screen. Her eyes were glued to the various readings on the screen. Her hands were placed back on the keyboard, ready to 'press the button to speak'.
"Alright, alright, that's enough acting …" After a few seconds of laughter, Feng Bujue continued. "Since we've cleared the scenario, I'll chat with you for a while longer." He raised his head and said weakly, "I don't know who you are, but I know you're not the 'system'." He paused for half a second, then said, "The real system … After I entered the 'second floor of the sandbox', it only gave me two prompts, which were the two prompts half a minute ago."
Hearing his words, the observation room, which had been full of excitement just now, suddenly fell silent.
Professor Cox, who was sitting at the desk and responsible for pretending to be the system, also widened her eyes. She did not know how to respond.
"You're the one who lifted the restriction on me, and you're the one who changed the mission …" Feng Bujue continued. "I think … I did a good job. After reading the information on SCP-3232, I immediately understood your intention of 'changing the mission', and this … became the basis for you to 'pretend to be the system'." He smiled again. "Oh … Speaking of which, if I couldn't see through the hidden message of the mission [Destroy all observation records of SCP-3232 in the foundation], wouldn't it be difficult for you? In that case, you would have to give an additional explanation for 'the system directly giving orders to the player'. "
Since Lu Zhou said this, Professor Cox knew that there was no need to hide anything anymore. She immediately pressed the speak button on the keyboard and said, "How did you find out?"
When her words reached Brother Jue's ears, it was converted into the same voice as the "system voice", but … at this time, the professor did not deliberately imitate the robotic tone, instead, she spoke in her own voice.
"Oh? Are you Professor Cox? " Feng Bujue knew who she was just by the tone of her voice. "Or … in a higher level of world, you have another name?" He did not give the other party time to respond and immediately said, "Oh … forget it, you don't have to tell me. In short … the basis for seeing through your 'fake system' is very simple — I did a test."
"What test?" Professor Cox asked eagerly.
"In the previous ten minutes, while I was cooperating with your commands, I was using different methods and speed of thought to convey various information to you." Feng Bujue continued, "However, you only responded to the information that I said in my heart in the form of language. You did not respond to graphics, logical ideas, or faster thoughts."
"Just based on that?!" Cox exclaimed.
"That's enough." Feng Bujue replied, "Indeed, your IQ is very high, and you have the ability to read ten lines at a glance. Your reaction is also very fast. You can use the 'my thoughts' feedback from the observation program to communicate with me in real time, and you can answer me fluently. But … in the end, you did not establish a real consciousness connection with me. The photon processor processes all of my neural signals, but you only process' speech signals' and 'speech signals that exist in my mind'. Based on this, I can be sure that you are not the system. "
At this point, Brother Jue tapped his temple with his index finger. "If the 'real system' is giving me instructions, then … oh … it doesn't even need to communicate with me through 'voice', because that's … too! Too slow! Too slow! "
"Humph …" Hearing this, the professor chuckled. "Fine … Feng Bujue, looks like you are smarter than I thought. I have underestimated you."
"It's fine to underestimate me, but …" Feng Bujue replied, "You and your colleagues have underestimated the system … or rather … underestimated SCP-3232. That is a fatal mistake."
"Oh?" Cox's attitude was still relaxed. She asked with interest, "How did you come to the conclusion that we have underestimated the system?"
"Ha! Hahahaha … "At that moment, Feng Bujue laughed madly. After a while, he suddenly revealed a wicked expression." Professor, to be honest … the question that you asked and the tone that you used when you asked it, from my perspective … can only be described as' reckless'. "
Hearing that, Cox's expression shifted.
"What do you mean?" She immediately asked.
However, just as the question reached her lips, Feng Bujue in the image morphed into white light and was transported away.
Di! Di! Di!
One second later, the base's alarm rang, and it caused the professor to shiver.
"What's wrong?" She immediately pressed the communication button on the table and yelled, "Quick, report the situation!"
Ten seconds passed … and no one responded to her. The only sound that echoed in her ears was the endless sound of the alarm.
"Is anyone there?" The professor switched to the public frequency and leaned close to the communicator to ask, "What's going on?"
Another ten seconds passed, and there was still no response.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Cox stood up. "Could it be that everyone in the base has lost their ability to communicate?" She shook her head. "No … that's impossible … Perhaps there is something wrong with the communication system."
With that thought in mind, she walked out of the room.
No matter what, since the alarm had rung, even if she could not contact anyone, she had to go through the evacuation process.
Buzz buzz!
Soon, the professor used her fingerprint to open the electronic door of the office.
However … after the door opened, she did not take the first step out.
Because … there was someone standing outside the door.
It was a man in a black suit. He was thin, had a fair complexion, and could be said to be handsome.
But for some reason, this handsome man exuded a perverted aura. Even though the lens of the glasses on the bridge of his nose glowed with white light, it could not hide his extremely unfriendly gaze.
"Hehehe … Hello, professor. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is … "
