Feng Bujue did not stay in this simple prison for too long. Soon, a woman with a buzz cut and a scar in the shape of a lightning bolt on her head came to the door of the prison. She glanced inside and said, "Sir, it's time for you to leave.
"Hey! You, you … and you, come out. "The Lightning Head casually picked three people and signaled them to come out of the cell.
Since she and the guards guarding the cell had guns in their hands, the captives in the cell had no choice but to obey.
Therefore, Feng Bujue and the other two captives from the search team walked out of the cell silently.
[Main mission has been triggered.]
The moment they stepped out of the cell, the system voice sounded.
Feng Bujue looked at the mission panel. The content was: [Join the resistance army.]
"Hurry up, ladies." The Lightning Head looked at the captives who were walking slowly. She used the term "ladies" to urge them and showed an impatient expression.
"Where are you taking us?" The captive walking in front of Feng Bujue straightened his back when he walked in front of the Lightning Head. He was neither servile nor overbearing.
He didn't get a direct verbal response. Instead, the Lightning Head hit his abdomen with the butt of her gun.
"Ugh …" This hit was obviously not light. The captive immediately bent over and groaned in pain.
"You don't have the right to ask questions. Do you understand?" Two seconds later, the Lightning Head said, "Now, hurry up and move your ass over there."
Her response was very effective. Although the captive who was hit looked depressed, in order to avoid suffering, he could only continue to move forward.
Under her escort, the three of them passed through an electronic door with a scanning device. On the other side of the door, there was already a soldier from the resistance army waiting for them.
Two minutes later, the three of them quickly passed through a few modified mine tunnels and narrow alleys. Finally, they were pushed into three rooms.
"Hmm … an interrogation room …" After Feng Bujue entered the room, he saw a table and two stools. The lighting in the room was on both sides of the ceiling. Right above the table was a hemispherical metal device that looked like a wide-angle surveillance camera.
"These guys are quite open-minded …" Brother Jue sat down on the chair and said casually, "Is it really okay to not handcuff the captives? If you encounter a die-hard person who holds the mentality that it's not a loss to fight to the death and that it's a win-win situation, then wouldn't the interrogator be in danger? "
As he thought about this, the door of the room opened.
A man in his thirties with a face full of stubble walked in with a tablet that looked like it was made of scrap metal.
"Hello." After the man entered the room, he glanced at Brother Jue before turning around and closing the door. "How should I address you?"
As he asked the question, he walked to the table and sat down across from Feng Bujue.
"Feng Bujue," Brother Jue answered the man's question without hesitation.
As the system had already informed him that it would modify his appearance and language, it was fine for him to say his name.
"Oh?" However, in the next second, the man raised his eyebrows and revealed a rather surprised expression.
"What's wrong?" Feng Bujue asked, "Is there anything strange about my name?"
"No … there's nothing strange about your name." The man laughed. "Heh … It's just that … normally, captives don't give out their names so easily."
"Are you saying that I should give you a meaningless bugle call so that I can give you the impression that I'm a tough guy?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Heh heh … You have a good sense of humor, Feng Bujue," the man replied. "It's just that … You said your name so easily …" He paused. "You know … It's a bit untrustworthy."
"Heh …" Feng Bujue laughed. "Whether it's true or not, it's better than a bugle call, isn't it?"
"Hmm …" The man stared into Brother Jue's eyes for a few seconds. "Okay, Feng Bujue, I'm Thad. You can call me Thad or Lieutenant."
"What? You're not a full-time interrogator? "Feng Bujue immediately began to probe.
"Hahaha …" Thad laughed out loud. "Buddy … We don't have a 'full-time' term here. Even the commander sometimes has to do a lot of low-level technical work."
"Understood." Feng Bujue nodded.
"Then, before joining the search team, what was your 'full-time' job? Mr. Feng Bujue, "Thad said as he raised his hands to make quotation marks.
"I don't know," Feng Bujue replied.
"Heh … Sorry, I don't seem to understand. What did you say?" Thad's expression became a little strange.
"I don't know. That part of my memory has disappeared," Feng Bujue replied.
"Disappeared?" Thad laughed dryly. "Ha! You're saying you've lost your memory? "
"Sigh … If only it was as simple as losing my memory." Feng Bujue sighed and put on an expression as if he had a story to tell.
"Then tell me … What's the situation?" Thad took the bait.
"I …" Feng Bujue's expression became serious. "… I've lost all my memories before today. Other than my own name, my mind is now filled with facts about Peeta's rewriting of history, and … a lot of information about the 'timeline where the video game exists.'"
Naturally, Thad would not accept all of this. In the past few years, Peeta had sent robots and human spies to infiltrate the Resistance Army more than once. The way they infiltrated the Resistance Army was either by pretending to believe in the theory of the Perceptive Leapers or by pretending to be Perceptive Leapers.
"Oh … You mean, you're a newly awakened Perceptive Leaper?" Thad asked without batting an eyelid.
"I don't know what awakening is." Feng Bujue's answer was also very shrewd. "I'm just telling you what happened to me."
"Heh …" Thad laughed. "Feng Bujue, I'm also a Perceptive Leaper who awakened after the age of twenty. Do you know what happened when I was awakened?"
"I don't know," Brother Jue replied calmly.
"When the 'knowledge fragments from the other timeline' flooded into my mind, I had a nosebleed," Thad said. "And that was just the beginning … For the next eight to nine hours, I felt like my brain and spine were soaked in magma. I still can't forget the burning pain. During that time, I couldn't even get out of bed to go to the toilet …"
"Okay, I understand what you mean." Feng Bujue said. "You mean, if I awakened today, I would've been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. There's no way I would've been captured by you, right?"
"Heh heh … Very well, it seems like you understand," Thad said. "So … buddy, are you going to tell me the truth now?"
"I'm telling you the truth." Feng Bujue said. "I don't know why I didn't experience the symptoms you mentioned when I gained the knowledge, but I did."
"Phew …" Thad let out a long sigh. "Okay, okay …" He showed an unhappy expression. "Since you insist on saying so, you won't mind if I ask you a few simple questions about the other timeline, right?"
"Feel free to ask." Other things aside, Brother Jue had great confidence that he would be able to answer questions related to video games.
"Hmph …" Thad snorted when he heard that.
At this point, Thad was pretty sure that Feng Bujue was lying. However, he didn't think that his Brother Jue was a spy.
The general public might not be aware of this, but the Peta Army undoubtedly had a lot of information about the people who knew how to make the leap. For example, "Only those who were under the age of 16 would feel less physical pain when they awakened their powers." The spies must have known this very well.
Therefore, the person who came up with such an obvious bug was definitely not a spy. He was most likely a veteran who wanted to take advantage of the situation.
"Excuse me …" Since Thad was certain that Brother Jue was not a person who knew how to make the leap, he didn't ask the "simple" questions he claimed to ask. Instead, he asked about something that had always been controversial even in the other timeline. He wanted to make things difficult for Thad. "Who is the father of modern video games?"
After he finished speaking, Feng Bujue fell into silence.
After ten seconds, Thad saw that Zhang Heng had no intention of speaking, so he said in a sarcastic tone, "What's wrong? Did you lose your memory again? "
"No, I'm just curious. After I give you the answer, do you understand or accept it?" Feng Bujue continued, "The question of who is the 'father of modern video games' has always been controversial. Some people say that it should be Nolan Bushnell, the founder of Atari. He was the one who developed the world's first commercial coin-operated game machine … which is the so-called arcade machine. He was also the one who developed PONG and founded Atari.
"Some people also think that it should be Ralph H. Baer because he developed the first home console that could be connected to the TV, the Magnavox Odyssey. Although that thing could only create a few light spots of different sizes on the TV and needed a lot of stickers and other similar board game accessories to operate, it was worthy of being called the" first video game machine in history. "
"As early as 1962, in a small laboratory at MIT, Steve Russell had already developed Space War on a PDP-1 (the world's first computer with a visual display). Even Nolan Bushnell himself admitted that he stood on Russell's shoulders to achieve his later achievements.
"In addition, some people think that Shigeru Miyamoto is the real creator of the video game industry. After all, Atari had that incident in 1983 … In a sense, they destroyed the dynasty they built.
"Some people think that John _ Carmack (the father of first-person shooter games, representing the famous DOOM) should be the one to take on this title, but I think that's a bit of nonsense.
"In short, in my opinion, the title of 'Father of Modern Video Games', or rather, the honor, should not belong to one person. It was all these people who worked together to bring about the birth and development of video games. From the concept, to the technology, to the innovation and commercialization, each of them played an important and irreplaceable role in every aspect. Even though in the eyes of many people … some of the more early technology 'can't be called games at all', without the foundation laid by those pioneers, there would not be any later progress.
"So, when you asked me this question, I didn't answer you without thinking. Instead, I was thinking … How would you react after I answered your question?"
At this moment, Thar's expression was very interesting.
In fact, when Feng Bujue said the second paragraph, Thar's expression began to change. As Brother Jue said more and more, the content exceeded Thar's own knowledge. Thar was even a little scared.
"You …" After a full ten seconds, Thar spoke again. "… Take a seat first, I'll be back in a while …"
Thar stuttered, then stood up, ran to the door, and shouted, "Guards, open the door!"
A few seconds later, the door opened. Thar turned his head and looked at Brother Jue with a complicated expression. Then, he fled the room.
"Hmm …" After the door of the interrogation room closed again, Feng Bujue said leisurely, "Looks like he went to report to his superiors …"
His speculation was not wrong. Once Thar left the interrogation room, he rushed to the base's command center and reported to the person in charge of the base in a tone that said, "I forgot to turn off the gas at home".
This process did not take too long because the interrogation room was equipped with a camera. Thar only needed to show the video of the conversation to his superior, and there was no need for him to explain too much.
Therefore, about fifteen minutes later, the 'Lightning Head' led two soldiers to open the door of Brother Jue's interrogation room and dragged him out …
In this scenario, Feng Bujue's power was not restricted. In other words … if he wanted to use force to resist, he could have flipped the base upside down. However, for the sake of the main mission, Brother Jue cooperated very well and allowed himself to be put on a hood. He was pushed and shoved all the way to the base's command center.
When the hood was removed, a woman who looked like she was in her twenties appeared before Feng Bujue. She was dressed like a normal soldier (in any case, it was the Fist of the North Star soldier outfit).
"Hello, I am Colonel Conrad." The colonel greeted Feng Bujue curtly and powerfully.
Feng Bujue did not respond immediately. Instead, he looked around him.
At that moment, Brother Jue was standing in a place that looked like an office. Behind him stood four soldiers. Other than the Lightning Head who helped him remove the hood, the other three were very alert as they pointed at him with a strange device.
"Hello, my name is …" Two seconds later, Feng Bujue was about to reply to the colonel.
The colonel interrupted him and uttered a string of strange words. "DF, AN, QHGH, POL …"
