One hour earlier …
Blade Runner was standing five meters away from the headless body, acting as a lookout for Feng Bujue.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Blade Runner looked at Feng Bujue, who was squatting beside the body. His eyes seemed to say, You are crazy.
"But I'm already doing it. What's wrong? You don't want to waste the grenade? "Feng Bujue asked.
"Ah … To be honest, compared to wasting the grenade, I'm more concerned about your mental state …" Blade Runner glanced at him from the corner of his eyes.
"What does this have to do with my mental state?" Feng Bujue replied. "I'm just using a dead body to set up a trap in a virtual game. Anyone with a normal mental state who can think of this strategy will not hesitate to carry it out. "
"Haha … Whatever you say …" Blade Runner did not want to argue with him. At that moment, he understood why this man's ID was Feng Bujue.
Feng Bujue tied a metal wire through the ring of the grenade. He held the grenade in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and roughly reached into the body's esophagus to shove the grenade into the body's stomach. On the front of the body, only a small wound was needed to allow the metal wire to poke out from the stomach and poke out from under the skin.
Next was to carve the words. At the spot where the metal wire poked out, he used a 'question mark' to decorate it and waited for the other party to take the bait.
"Why did you leave the words but cover half of it?" Blade Runner looked at Feng Bujue's arrangement and asked.
"If I don't cover it completely, they will be able to see what I've written from afar," Feng Bujue explained. "But if I cover it completely, they might not be able to see it." After he was done, he used the dead body's clothes to wipe his hands and stood up. "If I cover it half, they will squat down and lift the clothes to see what it is. Then … as long as they have normal eyesight, they will be able to see the end of the metal wire. "
"How can you be so sure that they will touch this line?" Blade Runner asked.
"Who said I'm sure they'll move the cables?" Feng Bujue replied.
"Huh?" Blade Runner didn't seem to understand what he meant.
Feng Bujue asked again, "Does this look like a trap?"
"Hmm … it doesn't seem like it."
"Why not?"
Blade Runner tried to follow his train of thought. "The trap should be placed in a place where the enemy will definitely pass by, such as behind a door."
Feng Bujue nodded. "That will do."
"That's it?" Blade Runner still didn't understand.
"Let me give you another example," Feng Bujue said. "Do you remember the safe we received before?"
"Of course I remember."
"If opening the box will trigger an explosion, does that mean we've already been tricked?"
"The system wouldn't have set it up like that." Blade Runner replied. "That way, the players won't be able to avoid it. If the box is really going to explode, there will be some clues before opening it."
"Oh," Feng Bujue said. "Then am I the system?"
"Yes …"
"Do I look like someone who would kindly give the other party a hint?"
"This …"
"Also, there is another reason why you would think that the box is not a death flag," Feng Bujue said.
"Because … that room is an optional quest. We can choose not to open the door and leave through another path. Even after we kill the monster, we can choose not to open the chests inside the room, "Flashes of Sword said.
Feng Bujue pointed at the body. "This body is lying on the ground. They can ignore it and ignore the remaining half of the sentence. Even if they do, they can choose not to touch the metal wire."
Blade Runner scratched his head. He seemed to understand. "Is this some kind of … psychological suggestion?"
Feng Bujue had already started walking. He gestured for the other party to follow. As he walked, he said, "To get someone to do something that appears harmless but is actually disadvantageous to them, first of all, you have to make them feel that they can do it or not and that they are not being forced to do it. Then, on the surface, the matter has to appear 'normal'. The so-called 'normal' … means that it cannot be too difficult. If it is too difficult, it will not work. But it cannot be too easy either. If it is too easy, the other party will become suspicious.
"For example, when you kill someone, the victim will resist. That is a 'normal' thing. However, if they resist too much, you will back down. If they wait calmly for the slaughter, you will become suspicious.
Or for example, if you want to go to a facility to plant a bomb, the security will be too tight and you will be forced to give up. However, if the security is too lax, you will find it inconceivable … "
Feng Bujue licked his lips and coughed twice. "So, I hid the grenade inside the body. The metal wire is somewhere that they can touch or not touch. My message is not carved on the surface or on the buttocks of the body so that they will not find it." He sighed. "Finally … I prepared an unexpected surprise for them."
"What if they did not find the metal wire and did not even look at the body before leaving?" Blade Runner asked.
"They are professional gamers, right?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Yes …"
"If it were you, would you just leave without doing anything?"
Before Blade Runner could answer, Feng Bujue continued, "Of course, the worst case scenario would be losing a grenade."
"In any case, you have nothing to lose, right …"
"Yes," Feng Bujue shamelessly replied.
They chatted for a while and walked for about 10 minutes. After turning around a corner … suddenly, a piece of metal the size of a basketball whizzed toward them. It brushed past the left side of Feng Bujue's face.
Feng Bujue's first reaction was to bend down and pull out his handgun to return fire. He looked forward and saw a figure standing in a dark area at the far end of the corridor. Clearly, that person was the one who launched the attack.
Flashes of Sword also noticed the attacker. His movement was incredibly fast. Without saying anything, he rushed forward with his sword already in his hand.
No matter who or what the attacker was, as long as Blade Runner was within range of Shining Shadow Slash, he had absolute confidence that he would not be at a disadvantage.
When the figure saw what Blade Runner was doing, he seemed to be stunned. He stood there for two seconds before turning to run.
At that moment, Feng Bujue had also started to run forward. He noticed the enemy's reaction and yelled at Blade Runner, who was running in front of him, "Keep him alive!"
Blade Runner did not have time to answer, but he heard what Feng Bujue said.
Feng Bujue was also very fast when he ran at full speed. In the scenario where they had a duel, when Feng Bujue ran at full speed, he was about seventy to eighty percent of Blade Runner's speed. After activating Body Enhancement Spell, Blade Runner would not be able to catch up to Feng Bujue even if he ran at full speed.
At that moment, the two of them were running at almost the same speed, and they soon caught up to the escapee. The person was also wearing an orange protective suit, and his running speed was not on the same level as the two players. He was also holding an anti-gravity gun in his hand. Seeing this, Feng Bujue basically confirmed that the person who tried to ambush them was an NPC, so he shouted again, "Capture him alive!"
Not long after, Blade Runner finally reached the range where he could use Shining Shadow Slash. He teleported and appeared right in front of the enemy. Seeing this, the man's face paled, but he could not stop anymore. Flashes of Sword elbowed the man's collarbone, and the man fell to the ground.
Even though the man was dazed from the fall and groaned on the ground, Flashes of Sword did not hesitate to twist the man's arm and press him face down on the ground. Then, he removed the gun from the man's arm.
By then, Feng Bujue had arrived as well, but he was not as calm and collected as the other experts. Seeing that the situation was under control, he placed his hands on his knees and gasped for air.
"Speak, who are you?" Blade Runner said to their captive.
The person was already out of breath from running, and after being elbowed to the ground, how could he speak?
Feng Bujue said, "Just let him go, it's fine."
Blade Runner released his hand and took two steps back, still holding his sword as he looked at the attacker on the ground.
The person turned over, face up, and his chest was heaving up and down. He could not catch his breath for a long time. From the transparent mask, they could see that he was a Caucasian. He looked very young, about 20 years old, and was very small, about 1.6 meters tall. He was thin and weak, and he had instant noodle black hair.
After recovering a little, the person sat up and used his hands to support himself as he retreated until he reached the wall. He looked at the two people in front of him with a frightened expression.
"Let's talk." Feng Bujue squatted down so that his eyes were at the same level as the person. He said, "What is your name?"
"Outsider! You are a group of demons! Heathens! " The person hugged the helmet with both hands and shouted, "Don't you think you can hypnotize my brain with your 'demonic language'! Don't even think about it! "
Blade Runner looked at Feng Bujue and said, "F * ck … this seems to be getting more and more complicated. Isn't this a sci-fi script? Why is there a religious fantasy setting? "
Feng Bujue hesitated for a moment, then he smiled coldly and said, "No, I think this is a futuristic sci-fi setting." As he said that, he pulled out a steel knife from his backpack.
Seeing this, the person started to shout desperately.
"Shut up …" Feng Bujue first used a normal volume to say that, but the man was still screaming. Feng Bujue then raised the steel blade and placed it on the man's neck. He roared, "Shut up!"
The person was scared and immediately shut up, but his face was still filled with fear.
"What, is, your, name?" Feng Bujue enunciated each word clearly.
"Han … Hank," Hank replied.
"Hank, what do you think I am? It doesn't matter. I don't need your trust, and I don't need to explain anything to you. But you have to answer our questions truthfully, or you will die a very … very painful death, "Feng Bujue said.
"No … Don't …" Hank said, "Don't kill me, I still have my mother at home … My brothers are all dead … I can't …"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Feng Bujue interrupted. "I ask, you answer."
Hank nodded. At this time, his emotions were slightly calmer than a minute ago, like a child who had stopped crying.
"What do you do, and why are you here?" Feng Bujue asked.
"I … I am a 'scavenger', our team … received orders to come here to search," Hank replied.
"How many people are in your team?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Five …" Hank replied, "But the others … I lost contact with them a few hours ago." When he said this, he looked at Blade Runner with a strange look.
"Don't look at me like that, I didn't kill your companions." Blade Runner naturally noticed it, he had already put away his sword, and casually said, "We saw one of your companions, but when we saw him … he was already dead, killed by a monster." He was referring to the person who was parasitized by the octopus.
"What … Mon … Monster? Oh, God … Damn it. " Hank's body couldn't stop trembling, he looked like he was about to cry, "No wonder they said they saw something strange …"
"What means of transportation did you use to come here?" Feng Bujue asked again.
"'Transportation'?" Hank didn't seem to understand the meaning of this word.
"What did you use to come here?" Feng Bujue asked in a different way.
"It's the 'Shark Cabin,' scavengers use this," Hank replied.
"Is it something like a boat or a car?" Blade Runner interjected.
"A car?" Hank looked puzzled again.
Feng Bujue shook his head, sighed, and continued to ask, "You were originally guarding the 'Shark Cabin,' and your other four companions came down to explore this laboratory together. Because you lost contact with them, you followed them down, right?"
"Yes." Hank nodded and replied.
"Why did you attack us?" Blade Runner asked.
"You … You …" Hank looked at them, trembling, "Because you are outsiders …"
"Can you explain, what are outsiders?" Feng Bujue asked.
Hank replied, "Devils! People outside the village! "
"Then how do you know we are outsiders?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Your clothes …" Hank said, "I have never seen such clothes, and you can survive here without protective clothing."
"Oh?" Feng Bujue raised his eyebrows. "Why? Do you think you will die if you breathe the air here? "
"Of course! Only in the village there is clean air to breathe! The air outside is deadly! It is the poisonous gas spread by outsiders! "Hank said loudly.
Feng Bujue stood up, leaned over to Blade Runner, and said, "Do you remember what the beginning of Black Friday was like?"
"Just say what you want to say," Flashes of Sword said. "After all, whatever you say is the truth."
"That means you don't remember," Feng Bujue said.
"Nonsense, who would remember the details of an old movie that they don't know when they saw it?" Blade Runner said, but after he said this, he realized something and immediately added, "Well, that doesn't include you …"
Feng Bujue said, "I remember very clearly that at the beginning of the movie, the members of the scientific research team from the universe could take off their helmets to breathe in this laboratory. Of course … the premise was that they first checked the air quality and bacteria in the surrounding environment. "
"Get to the point," Blade Runner said.
"The point is, the guy in front of us, as I have speculated before …" Feng Bujue whispered as he looked at Hank, who was curled up against the wall. "… should be a descendant of the survivors from old Earth, but for some reason, not only did he not adapt to the environment to become stronger, but he also has a tendency to degenerate. Even the immigrants from the universe have no problem breathing in the air in this laboratory for a short period of time, but he can't. "
"Is that strange?" Blade Runner asked.
"Is Darwin a charlatan?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Uh …" Blade Runner said, "Well, I'm not very good at biology, but … I think you're hinting that this situation doesn't conform to the laws of evolution, right?"
"A group of humans living in an artificial environment like a spaceship, their cardiopulmonary function is almost the same as the human standard more than four hundred years ago." Feng Bujue said, "But this group of survivors living on Earth with such bad air looks like they're going to choke to death if they breathe in second-hand smoke." He paused, "Also, do you remember the guy who was killed by the octopus monster?"
"You mean the guy who you beheaded, stuffed a grenade into his esophagus, and had words engraved on his stomach?" Blade Runner narrowed his eyes. "Ha … It's easy to forget him …"
"That guy was about the same height and size as Hank, and he was also very thin," Feng Bujue said.
"So?"
"But they were all white … Let me remind you, in our time, the average height of a male in Western Europe is around 1.8 meters, and in Northern Europe, it's close to 1.9 meters," Feng Bujue said.
"Don't you think malnutrition is a common phenomenon on a planet with such an environment?" Blade Runner said. "Furthermore, this is just a game, why are you so concerned about these details?"
Feng Bujue shook his head. "I have no idea how many humans there are on this old Earth, but one thing is for sure … there has to be a problem with Hank's' village '."
"Brother Feng … do you remember that we're here for a 2v2 Killing Game, not to save an NPC's village?"
Feng Bujue raised his hand, raised three fingers, and listed out three reasons seriously. "Their village has air quality that does not consume Life Points, and they have the technological capability to create anti-gravity guns. Furthermore, their villagers are vulnerable."
"Oh … You're not there to save the village but to rob and burn, right?" Blade Runner finally understood.
Feng Bujue replied, "To save or to rob, we'll talk about that later … As long as we find a way to get into Hank's' shark pod 'and leave this lab, we'll be invincible. Before the two guys from Zombie Blade run out of patience, we have many strategies to choose from, and we have the upper hand. "
