"That's enough … the two of you …" After watching for a while, Feng Bujue spoke to stop the quarrel between the two Tsukamoto. "Let's stop the monkey show."
The two were obedient. They stopped and turned to look at Brother Jue.
From the perspective of the game, the reaction of these two NPCs was reasonable. They were waiting for the "player with the key item" to make the "final choice."
"This kind of argument is like two shrews shouting at each other in the street. It won't lead to any results no matter how long it lasts." Feng Bujue said, "Because you have been refuting each other for a long time, but there is no substantive content."
"So … it's better if I demonstrate it." At this point, he paused for two seconds and looked at Tsukamoto in the Illusory Yang. "Take the information you provided as an example. There are a few things that don't make sense logically. For example … you said that it was your master's lifelong wish to destroy 'it,' and that he still cared about it until his death.
"Oh … then I'm curious. After meeting 'it' and before your master died … in the past twenty years, why didn't your master find other Onmyojis to help him deal with 'it'? Don't tell me you are the only Yin-Yang Liao left in Japan. (Ancient Japanese government, similar to the Directorate of Heaven in ancient China. The earliest record of Yin-Yang Liao can be traced back to 675 AD, and it was abolished in the third year of Meiji, or 1870. The Yin-Yang Liao that Brother Jue is referring to refers to those Yin-Yang Liao organizations that still refer to themselves as Yin-Yang Liao after the 20th century and are similar to martial arts sects.) … Earlier, you said that we should find a 'powerful Yin-Yang Master' after we escape from this place.
After that, Feng Bujue turned to face Tsukamoto in the Illusory Yang. "And you … your story about the government brainwashing children is believable, but … the rest of your story has the same problem as your 'twin brother.'" At this point, Brother Jue opened his arms. "If what you said is true, why didn't you find four or five other Onmyojis to deal with 'it' in those six years? If it were me … I would be able to do this twice in six days. "
At this point, the two Tsukamoto's expression changed.
But according to the plot, the choice was still in the player's hands, so …
"After all that," the calmer Tsukamoto spoke again. "Who do you plan to believe?"
This question was like an ultimatum. At this point, Brother Jue had to make a decision. Either he chose one of the two Tsukamoto or he had to bring the plot to the 'hidden truth', or else … he might trigger the worst possible ending.
"I believe both of them." Two seconds later, Feng Bujue gave his answer. "At the same time … I don't believe either of them."
"You … what do you mean by that?" the weakened Tsukamoto asked.
"The information given by the two of you is not completely fake," Feng Bujue said, "but there are some lies mixed in …"
"Hey … then which one of them is real and which one is fake?" Phantom Dawn could not help but ask.
"Haha …" Feng Bujue chuckled. He did not answer the question directly but continued. "After combining the stories given by the two and analyzing the illogical parts and the content that was created to lead us into action, I have roughly reconstructed the real story …"
He started to pace around the room like a detective in a detective show, and … he was enjoying himself.
"The two Tsukamoto's description of the 520 tragedy is not wrong … In fact, it is basically the same." Feng Bujue said. "But on one question, both of them lied, and that is … twenty-six years ago, the seal created by Master Nara … was it really not strong enough?"
When he said that, the two Tsukamoto's expressions were filled with confusion.
"I don't think that's possible." Feng Bujue studied their expressions and continued with a smile. "No matter how you look at it, it is impossible. Even if Master Nara himself could accept it, the 'relevant department' that invited him would not accept it. Therefore, I can be sure that the seal from twenty-six years ago is very strong … It might even be stronger than the original seal of Mawang Shrine. "
After half a second, Brother Jue continued. "Then … here and now, why are we trapped here by 'it'?" He quickly came up with an answer. "Obviously … there's a key person behind this — Watanabe."
Feng Bujue paced for a few more steps before turning to face his teammates. "Everyone should still remember the hidden mission, right?"
"Now that you mention it, of course …" Ruo Yu said in a mocking tone.
"Haha …" Brother Jue smiled at her and said, "For the time being, I will help everyone run through all the people in the group picture of Year 2 Class A …" He raised one hand and counted with his fingers. "First, the four adults … the principal, Miyamoto, hanged herself at home; the homeroom teacher, Sato, lost his mind; the biology teacher and music teacher, whose names we still don't know, both died in the 520 tragedy, and their souls are still lingering in this space." Then, he raised another hand. "Let's talk about the nine children … Suzuki Takayuki died in the fire and turned into a baleful ghost, and the baleful ghost Suzuki was killed by 'it' again; Noguchi Eiji died because of Suzuki's ghost, and his soul is also trapped here; As for Momo, Minamoto, Sasuda, Uteshou, Sengoku, and Yamada, that's the six of us …"
At this point, Feng Bujue put down his hand. "You see the problem now, right? To complete the hidden mission, there is only one goal left … and that is to find out what happened to the class monitor, Watanabe. "
"Speaking of that …" Phantom Dawn said, "Could Watanabe be the ghost that we first met … the one who turned into black smoke at the second-floor staircase and dropped the equipment?"
Feng Bujue heard that and asked in return, "What do you think?"
"How would I know?" Phantom Dawn said. "The group photo did not state the names of the children. I cannot even tell which child is Watanabe, so how am I supposed to tell who he looks like? Furthermore … it is not impossible for his appearance to change drastically after he grows up, right? "
"Fine, looks like you have a clear mind." Feng Bujue smiled. Based on his tone, this question was purely to test Phantom Dawn.
As he expected, the next second, Brother Jue added, "I can tell you for sure that the ghost is not Watanabe. He is one of the victims of that tragedy, similar to the people who reached out their arms from the lockers …"
"You can tell that?" Phantom Dawn asked.
"Yes." Feng Bujue replied. "In the Fantasy of Yang, I have confirmed the identity of every child in the group photo, and I have memorized the faces of most of the victims who were relatively intact … Therefore, I can confirm that the childhood Watanabe is not the same person as the ghost."
"Then …" At that moment, An Yueqin was reminded of something, and her eyes involuntarily wandered to the two Yin Yang Masters. "Could he be …"
"Not exactly." Feng Bujue shook his head to deny An Yueqin's assumption. "There is no doubt about the identity of these two. They are Shouta Tsukamoto … This Yin Yang Master does exist, but … he has been killed by 'it' a long time ago."
Since Brother Jue had mentioned key terms like 'mission' earlier, the content that the two Tsukamoto heard had been processed by the system, and they did not have the chance to say anything. However, at that moment, the two of them appeared to have come online again, and they expressed their dissatisfaction with Brother Jue's words.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Do I need you to tell me about my own life and death?"
Both of them were confident, and there was no trace of them acting at all.
"Look … the real scam is here …" Feng Bujue ignored them and turned to his teammates. "Both of them … think that they are real, and they think that they are telling the truth."
"What do you mean by that?" The calm Tsukamoto seemed to have caught on to something and asked.
"It's very simple …" Feng Bujue replied. "We are not the ones with errors in our memories … but …" He looked at the two Tsukamoto. "… you two."
Both the weak Tsukamoto and the calm Tsukamoto were shocked when they heard this conclusion.
"Although I haven't known you for long, as someone who has studied a lot of psychology books (he had read some when he was a child, trying to analyze whether he was crazy, and later out of interest, he did some non-systematic study), I quickly discovered that … there is something wrong with both of you." Feng Bujue said. "In my opinion, you are two parts of the same personality. You have been separated by 'it', and your memories have been distorted to do what you think is right."
"Impossible!" This time, the two Tsukamoto said the same thing in unison.
"Oh … you don't believe me, do you?" Feng Bujue continued. "Let me give you a test, and you'll understand …" After that, he immediately looked at the weak Tsukamoto. "Other than your parents, name any of your relatives." Before they could answer, he looked at the calm Tsukamoto. "As for you … what did you have for breakfast today?"
After he finished speaking, there was a full thirty seconds of silence.
"See … it's very easy to do a test." Feng Bujue said, "In short … your memories have no details, because 'it' can't do that."
At this time, the two Tsukamoto's expressions became very strange, and they both held their foreheads with their hands, as if they suddenly had a headache …
"Then … let's go back to the previous question." Feng Bujue continued slowly. "How did we get to this point?" He asked and answered his own question. "The answer … lies with Watanabe."
Whoosh …
Just as Brother Jue said the two words "Watanabe", the red light bulb on the ceiling suddenly went out.
Pa!
In less than a second, Feng Bujue very calmly and decisively turned on the flashlight that he was holding.
After another two seconds, his teammates turned on their flashlights one after another. At this point, they did not care about the battery anymore … because the scenario was coming to an end.
"Er … Those two … where have they gone?" After the light was restored, Xiao Tan was the first to share this with Chen Ge.
The others naturally noticed as well. At that moment, the two Tsukamoto's had disappeared, and in the dim room, only the six players were left.
"Look! There's something there! " Xiao Ling was the sharpest. She immediately noticed a small piece of glowing shard where one of the Tsukamoto had stood.
"There's one here as well …" Ruo Yu reacted quickly. She immediately turned the flashlight to the spot where the other Tsukamoto had stood, and she noticed there was another shard there.
Five seconds later, Feng Bujue very quickly picked up the two shards and showed them to his teammates.
The descriptions of the two items were the same.
Item Name: 'It's' Kidney
Item Type: Plot Item
Quality: Normal
Function: Can be embedded into 'It's' body.
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: A pocket-sized organ made from green jade. It exudes a faint trace of spirit.
"Humph …" Brother Jue placed the two pieces of jade into his pocket and scoffed. Then he turned to his teammates and said, "Come on, let's go downstairs."
No one asked any questions. They just followed Brother Jue silently out of the storeroom and down the stairs to the first floor corridor.
Just as they prepared to move toward the 'exit door', they realized … there was already a figure waiting in the middle of the corridor.
It was a man with a pale face. He looked to be in his thirties, and he had a parted hairstyle. He was wearing a normal t-shirt and pants, and … he was holding a wooden doll in front of his chest.
"Do you want to die that badly? Traveler from another dimension. "The voice came directly from the man's chest, and it was a hoarse female voice.
"Hmm … Let me think …" Feng Bujue pretended to read. "One … is to expose the truth at the risk of death." He paused. "The other … is to pretend to have been tricked by you and make an innocuous choice, and then leave this place with a 'false victory' … Hmm … It's so hard to choose."
Brother Jue's tone was filled with mockery and arrogance.
"For you … what is the difference between the two?" The voice replied. "Even if this world is completely destroyed after you leave, it won't affect you in any way, right?" It sounded agitated. "Or … just to stand in my way, you would rather let all the effort that you and your teammates have put in so far go down the drain?"
"Don't flatter yourself." Feng Bujue narrowed his eyes and replied weakly, "I'm not interested in standing in your way. I'm just acting according to my own principles and interests. If you want to say that I'm standing in your way … then you're the one who's standing in my way."
"You'll regret it …" The voice became cold and violent. "You don't know who you're dealing with."
"Ha! Hahahaha … "Brother Jue laughed hysterically." I … hahaha … don't know who I'm dealing with … hahahaha! "He laughed so hard that he could barely speak.
After a full half a minute, Feng Bujue suppressed his laughter and took a step forward. As he approached the voice, he said, "I don't know what you're thinking, but … I'm very sure that the person who 'doesn't know who he's dealing with' … is you." At this point, his eyes flashed with excitement. "But … don't worry, I'll introduce you to me."
