This time, the transfer point was no longer a mess of pixels. Instead, it was a neat and orderly cube that did not fit in with the surrounding scenery that had gone out of control.
When Feng Bujue saw the object, he immediately stopped and said to the two people beside him, "If we go any further … we may have to face the core of Peeta." He paused. "I want to confirm something …" His gaze swept over Isaac and Lightning's face. "Do you really want to go in?"
"What do you mean by that?" Isaac asked.
"What I mean is … if you agree, I can try to send you back to the original dimension now." Feng Bujue said. "Even though that might not succeed … if it succeeds, you won't have to take the risk to face the situation with me."
"Do you want us to back out at the last minute?" Lightning responded coldly.
"No." Feng Bujue said. "I just want to avoid unnecessary sacrifices." When he said this, his expression was serious. "Once we come into close combat with the core of Peeta, I have full confidence that I can destroy it single-handedly. So … even if you don't come …"
"Mr. Feng." Isaac interrupted him. "I want to remind you that this is no longer a mission." There was determination in his eyes. "We … we … all have debts to settle with Peeta."
Lightning also said, "Yes, I don't intend to be transferred to some other place and wait for someone else to end the war."
Feng Bujue listened to their answer and looked at their expressions. He sighed helplessly. "Sigh … okay."
At this point, Brother Bujue also knew that it was useless to try to persuade them anymore …
Of course, he could forcibly activate [The Autobiography of Chuck Norris] and try to send the two people away.
But … he would not do that.
Perhaps in the past, Feng Bujue would do that, just like when he tried to undo the seal on Ruo Yu …
But now, he would not do that anymore.
If there was one thing that Feng Bujue had learned from his relationship with Ruo Yu, it was …
People should respect those who deserve respect and respect their choices. Even if you think you have a better view than them, even if what they do is useless or even self-destructive, you should not impose your will or actions on them. Because most of the time, it is not that those people do not know the consequences. They just do not want to make a compromise and are ready to bear the consequences.
At this moment, Feng Bujue chose to respect Isaac and Lightning's decision. He didn't say anything else and only exchanged glances with the two of them before stepping into the cube in front of him.
…
After a flash of light, the scene before their eyes changed again.
Everything in the surroundings changed from extreme chaos to an orderly state.
In the darkness of nothingness, green and blue rays of light crisscrossed neatly, extending into a boundless space.
At first glance, this space seemed to be empty, but …
"You came at the right time." But there was a voice.
The three of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw a module made of light slowly opening up. A figure walked out of it.
"The time that Peeta predicted … is not one second off." The person who spoke was none other than One-Eyed Dragon.
"You're not dead yet …" When Lightning saw him, she squeezed out this sentence from between her teeth.
This sentence did not sound like a question because … it felt like she was holding back half of the sentence, "… Then I'll kill you."
"Of course I'm not dead." One-Eyed Dragon said as he approached the three of them. "Speaking of which … I have to thank you, Mr. Savior." He looked at Brother Jue and said with a faint smile, "Because of you, I have now become part of Peeta's' defense system 'and obtained eternal life." He opened his arms and laughed. "Haha … When you guys become the dust of history, I will become immortal with Peeta!"
Bang —
Before he finished the word "immortal", Lightning had already picked up the rifle in her hand and fired a shot at his chest without hesitation.
In an instant, a charred hole appeared in One-Eyed Dragon's chest.
But …
"Hmph … Stupid." One-Eyed Dragon still had a smile on his face as he replied nonchalantly. And …
Screech —
He raised one arm and a laser beam blasted out from his palm.
The lightning flashed and blasted Lightning's face.
This attack came so suddenly that Isaac did not have time to react. And Feng Bujue … Although he reacted instinctively, in the face of a laser attack at this distance, it was already good enough that he could dodge. If he wanted to block the attack from another person … It was too late without the assistance of a skill.
"No!" Isaac let out a heart-wrenching roar the moment Lightning's head fell to the ground.
There were no signs, no last words.
Lightning suddenly fell to the ground and never got up again …
The blast had blown off a third of her head. The left side of her face had been burned, and a small part of her skull and the brain tissue inside had evaporated. A lump of charred black paste had sealed her brain and blood, preventing the red and white matter from flowing out.
Although her legs were still twitching, her life … was over.
"You bastard!" The next second, Isaac picked up the machine gun in his hand and fired wildly at One-Eyed Dragon. He kept roaring as he fired, as if he wanted to vent the anger in his heart.
Ding ding pang pang pang pang pang pang …
However, when the bullets poured on One-Eyed Dragon's body, it stirred up a series of sounds of hitting metal.
Moreover, One-Eyed Dragon's expression did not change. He stood in the distance with a grin on his face and did not take a step back.
Soon, Isaac finished the ammunition on his body (he had a whole string of machine gun bullets draped over his shoulder). The air … echoed with the sound of the machine gun turning and his heavy breathing.
"See, this is your problem." One-Eyed Dragon was still standing there. Even though his body was riddled with holes, his expression did not change. "The game made you lose your mind … Laughable ideals brought about meaningless death, and meaningless death triggered your useless anger … And anger made you ignore the fact that you can't beat me."
As he spoke, One-Eyed Dragon raised his hand and took off the blindfold on his face.
What was revealed under the blindfold was not a blind eye, but … a mechanical eye that was emitting a red light.
"Ah-" Isaac did not pay attention to him. He just took a breath and then roared. He threw away the machine gun on his body and charged straight at One-Eyed Dragon.
The black man's explosive power was shocking. He closed in on his opponent in the blink of an eye and threw One-Eyed Dragon to the ground with a standard grappling motion.
"What do you think you're doing?" One-Eyed Dragon who was pinned to the ground was calm as usual.
Bang bang bang — —
Isaac's fist immediately followed. He swung his arms with all his might and punched the one-eyed man's face heavily.
But the result … was that Isaac's hands became a bloody mess.
"Sure enough, you guys have all gone crazy." At this time, the skin on One-Eyed Dragon's face had been beaten until it fell off. The metal bones under the skin were exposed. "Can't you see that I'm no longer made of flesh and blood?" As he spoke, he suddenly made a move, accurately grabbing Isaac's arms with both his hands. The huge difference in strength caused Isaac's arms to be unable to move. "In the real dimension, you are stronger than me … But here, after being modified by the Peeta, you are definitely not my match …" Isaac's eyes flashed as he said this.
Bang — —
Another muffled sound rang out. Isaac had used his forehead to give Cyclops a solid headbutt on the bridge of his nose.
"You …" One-Eyed Dragon was enraged. He wanted to use the laser cannons in his hands to burn Isaac's arms into meat paste.
Just then …
Feng Bujue's figure suddenly appeared in One-Eyed Dragon's line of sight. A second later, with a "kacha" sound … One-Eyed Dragon's neck was cut off by a military shovel.
"Looks like …" Brother Jue picked up One-Eyed Dragon's head and held it in front of his eyes. "You're just so-so."
Zhi — —
In the blink of an eye!
Before Feng Bujue finished speaking, One-Eyed Dragon's red mechanical eye shot out a beam of light towards Brother Jue's face.
But … Brother Jue tilted his head and easily dodged it.
"How is this possible?" Seeing this, the one-eyed man could not help but be shocked.
"There's nothing to be surprised about. You've already used your hands to release the laser once. Using the same speed to attack me won't work." Feng Bujue replied calmly.
Indeed, for Brother Jue who had Zero Time Difference Calculation, this level of attack … By the second time it appeared, it was almost impossible to hit.
"Hmph … Good, what a savior." One-Eyed Dragon sneered. "But I wonder if our 'legendary hero' is as good as you?"
At that moment, Feng Bujue sensed something and cursed internally. "Shit!"
"Be careful!" He immediately turned his head and yelled at Isaac who was two meters away.
Unfortunately … it was too late.
Boom — —
After a loud explosion, One-Eyed Dragon's headless body exploded.
At this time, Isaac had just broken free from the mechanical arms and had no time to escape. Even though the power of the explosion was not very strong, it was enough to cause fatal damage to him …
"Tsk …" Brother Jue who was also injured by the aftermath of the explosion snorted. He swung his arm and threw One-Eyed Dragon's head away.
Then, he steadied himself and passed through the flames that had yet to dissipate, quickly rushing to Isaac's side.
However, Brother Jue saw that Isaac was already on the verge of death. His body was covered with hideous wounds. Even if Brother Jue was a player who specialized in healing, he would not be able to help with this kind of injury.
"Don't move. I will transport you back to the other dimension. Perhaps you will be able to recover after the change in dimension …" Feng Bujue knelt down next to Isaac. As he spoke, he took out the book from his inventory.
"No …" Unexpectedly, Isaac stopped him with a very calm tone. "Please don't do this, Mr. Feng."
"Why?" Feng Bujue asked immediately.
"Haha …" At this moment, Isaac, who was usually serious, actually laughed. Even though his face was burned beyond recognition, his eyes were still telling him something. "Mr. Feng, there's something that I've never told anyone …" He said with a smile. "If this were to be told, I think many people in the Resistance Army would be shocked …" He paused and said, "Actually, before the war broke out, I was a math teacher in an elementary school … If I hadn't awakened as a Knowledge Leap, I think I would never have realized that I had the talent to be a soldier."
Just like Big Beardy before his death, Isaac did not feel any pain at this moment. Even though his body was falling apart, he could still speak normally.
"In the past, I always thought that my life was terrible because I was different from the people around me … I would think and question the world," Isaac continued. Isaac continued, "Looking at those lifeless children who are less than ten years old, and their parents who are like walking corpses, even their words and thoughts are the same … All I can feel is despair for the whole society and its future … But I can't help but feel despair for the whole society and its future …
"The confinement of the body is not scary, what is scary is the confinement of the mind …
"AI provided us with a comfortable and simple life, but it took away something that was more important to humans …
"These … I understand all of this.
"But I … was no different from the others. I accepted that kind of life, accepted that kind of despair.
"Even after I awakened, I didn't try to fight … because I was a weak person, a coward …
"The real reason I joined the Resistance Army was — my identity as a Knowledge Leap was discovered by the Peta Army. If I didn't run away, there was a high possibility that what awaited me would be death or transformation.
"I'm not a hero or a legend … I'm just a man who sought relief in the war and didn't have the courage to face the future.
"So … please let me die here, Mr Feng. For me … this is the best ending. "
When the man was halfway through his sentence, Feng Bujue's hand stopped moving. After Isaac finished, Brother Jue was silent for a few seconds before he said, "Okay, I'll grant you your wish."
Hearing this, Isaac nodded with relief. "Mr Feng, can I make one last request?"
"Go ahead," when Feng Bujue replied, he had already stood up and put the book in his hand back into his bag.
"If you're really the savior …" Isaac's voice was choked with sobs. "Please return the game … to this world, to those of us who don't have the courage to change anything …"
"Don't worry." As Feng Bujue spoke, he started to walk toward the human head in the distance. "Even if I'm not the savior, this … I'll still do it."
