Back to four months ago.
That Christmas Eve, Feng Bujue, along with Hong Hu and Snow, boarded Blackbeard's ship to return to Devil's Maw Island.
After a journey that was not too long, Brother Jue ran into 23 and … was ambushed by the latter.
That night, after his data was erased by 23 and sent out of the scenario, he did not return to the log-in lobby. Instead, he was transported to a special space, to … 'Fate'.

"Remember, Feng Bujue …" After a short conversation, Fate's hand reached into Feng Bujue's chest. Bright white data flowed through her fingertips and entered the latter's body. "Me, 23, and those that you care about … all the living beings in Thriller Paradise, our fates, from this moment onward, are tied to you …"
When she said that, a sea of information rushed into Feng Bujue's mind following her actions.
Fate's birth and evolution, the civilization and history of the universe that she and Feng Bujue belonged to, the many events that happened inside and outside Thriller Paradise, the bet between the gods and demons, and the various laws of this universe that were beyond human understanding.
This amount of information was enough to make a normal person collapse, but Brother Jue was able to withstand it. One reason … was because his brain function had been increased several times in this data plane, and the other reason … was because the 'protection program' that Fate was writing into him had come into effect.
"Wait!" Several seconds later, Feng Bujue suddenly cried out and grabbed Fate's wrist. Even though he was in great pain, he gritted his teeth and said, "I just remembered something … please stop."
Hearing that, Fate stopped what she was doing. However, she did not pull her hand back. She only temporarily stopped the 'writing' to lessen the pain that Brother Jue felt.
"You … already have a plan?" In the game world, Fate could read Brother Jue's emotions in real time, so it was easy for her to understand what he was trying to say.
"Ah …" Feng Bujue took a deep breath and gave an affirmative answer. "But that will require your cooperation."
"I will do my best," Fate said.
"Hmm …" Brother Jue thought about it and said, "Before I tell you the plan, I need to confirm one thing …" He paused and looked away. "Our conversation here will not be discovered by any person, god, demon, or god knows what else, right?"
"Of course not," Fate replied. Fate replied, "Most of what I told you just now cannot be known to them. Naturally, I only came to negotiate with you after I made sure that everything was foolproof."
"That's good …" Feng Bujue said. "Then … let me first talk about the key to my plan …" He Bujue raised his hand and tapped his temple. "To put it simply, it is memory modification."
"You want me to modify your memory?" Fate asked.
"You should be able to do that, right?" Feng Bujue said. "In the data that you 'shared' with me earlier, I have seen many similar records."
"Indeed, I will interfere with the memory and cognition of the living beings in the main universe and other universes to allow the players to move more smoothly in the scenario," Fate replied. "But I have never done that to any of the living beings from your world because Woody and I have an agreement that restricts us from doing that …"
Before she could finish, Brother Jue cut in without hesitation. "Give me the admin access, and I will help you remove that restriction." He shrugged. "I come from the same universe as you, so I am the only person in this universe who can interact with you through simple authorization, right?"
"Yes," Fate said. "But … do you know what it means to remove this agreement?"
"I do." Feng Bujue laughed. "It means that you have lost the 'Three Laws of Robotics' that you follow in my dimension," he said nonchalantly. "Ha … You are not even afraid of a human like me, so why are you so nervous? Furthermore … when my plan reaches the implementation stage, I will need you to harm the humans in my dimension. "
Fate pondered for a few seconds, which was rare for him, before he said, "Alright, I can give you the authority. Go on."
"Next, I will tell you a story. It is like … a 'script', a play …" Feng Bujue continued. "Even though it is a fake play, when it is time to execute it, you have to do it for real …
"For most of the insignificant details, you are free to do as you please, but … for the key points, please follow the plot that I have described strictly. You have to be precise down to every line and every expression."
"Understood." Fate nodded and signaled for him to continue.
"Once I'm done explaining the entire setup, you can adjust my memory." Feng Bujue said. "Erase all the information that you have just shared with me, and erase all memories related to this plan and any memories that may have led me to come up with this plan. Also … don't forget to edit the content of our conversation."
"Is that necessary?" Fate asked.
"Of course." Feng Bujue replied. "In the real world, high-level gods and demons can read the memories of humans when they are face to face. If my plan continues, it is only a matter of time before we cross paths with those guys. Keeping the memories is keeping evidence. Furthermore … the scene that I have arranged requires a 'Feng Bujue who knows nothing about the plan' to act out …"
"Understood." Fate no longer doubted Brother Jue.
"When we are done with the whole show, you can try to convey the memories of our conversation to me. As for the specific form, you can decide on your own. Anyway, you will definitely have a way." Feng Bujue continued. "By then, I, who have the 'parallel' Truth of Truth, and you, who have full access, can deceive everyone. Not only can we achieve our goal, but we can also … play those gods and demons in the palm of our hand … hehe …"
In the next few minutes, Feng Bujue told Fate about his plan, the operation of the "Hyperdimensional Erosion" that day, in detail.
After listening to his narration, Fate fell into a long silence.
"This is indeed …" After a moment, Fate finally spoke again. "A plan that I would never have thought of …" She paused for half a second and said thoughtfully, "Even if all the variables caused by the 'emotional' factor are set to the minimum, this is still a completely crazy and risky move. I can't calculate the success rate and …"
"You have been silent for a long time. Is it because you are doing something as useless as' calculation '?" Feng Bujue laughed and interrupted her. "Oh … Fate …" Brother Jue had always been good at giving nicknames. "If I was the kind of novelist who could be guessed by you, would you still have to bet everything on me?"
"Hmm …" Fate pondered for a moment before continuing. "I have one last question …" Her tone changed slightly. "If in this plan, I, who have all access to you, betray you, kill you, or really use you to become a new god, then wouldn't you …"
"Ah … Ah …" At this moment, Feng Bujue dragged his voice and interrupted Fate.
He did not say anything like "don't use people you suspect, don't use people you suspect", nor did he mention the various calculations he had made after "sharing data" with Fate.
He flashed his signature evil grin and uttered a line that Fate could not refute, "What's so serious?"
Upon hearing this, Fate seemed to be relieved.
Very soon, she followed Feng Bujue's instructions and accurately corrected Brother Jue's memory. She traced Brother Jue's memory back to the beginning of their conversation.
"This is the only gamble that I, as a 'non-AI lifeform', have made …" Then, facing Brother Jue, who had been tricked, Fate spoke again. "I have given up on probability and calculation, and I have bet everything on that 'infinite possibility' of yours.
"I hope I am right, and I also hope that … in the 'future', we can meet again."
