"Yes." Aldan suddenly appeared behind Feng Bujue.
"Since things have come to this, I might as well be frank with you," Billy said. "If you don't cooperate, the poison will take effect and cause you to fail the scenario. I know for you travelers from another world, this is not a big price to pay, but it is still something that you don't want to see. "
"Then what about Ravid?" Feng Bujue asked. "I killed your friend with one shot, and you're going to let me go just like that?"
Billy said, "Don't worry, you didn't really kill it. That gun is just an extension of my control over this space. The moment you pulled the trigger, I changed its nature. That bullet won't be able to kill Labitte."
"But it will hurt," another voice said.
Feng Bujue turned his head toward the source of the voice. The voice came from the second cell.
Although Ravid's headless body was still lying on the ground, its unique voice could be heard in the darkness.
"Oh, I see …" Feng Bujue turned the chair around and placed his feet on the table. He said casually, "Let me think about it. You can use this time to talk to me about things that interest me."
"You don't have much time …" Billy said.
Feng Bujue shook his head with a smile. "You don't have much time, do you?" He glanced at the menu. "The ninety-two-minute poison in my body was not given to me by you but a setting imposed by a 'higher existence'." He was referring to the System. "Before 'it', you're nothing more than life forms that can be wiped out with a single thought."
"So what? The existence that you're talking about is more disciplined than the Master of Time. It won't do something like this without a reason, "Aldan replied.
"I'm not hinting that the existence will wipe you out, but … even you won't be able to stop that existence from wiping me out." Feng Bujue said. "At least there's one thing that you can't lie about. The three of you really only have three bottles of medicine."
"That's right. The fourth bottle is with Faust," Billy replied.
"This Faust... is he the prison guard here?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Yes."
"Then you're talking nonsense!" Feng Bujue directly exposed him. "How do you know if he has the medicine or not? Did he come in and tell you? "
Billy was speechless. He really didn't know if the fourth potion was in Faust's hands. He only said that to urge Feng Bujue to get rid of him.
"But … it can also be said that your speculation is reasonable because the fourth bottle of potion is obviously not in this space. Otherwise, it would have fallen into your hands long ago." Feng Bujue changed the topic and asked, "By the way, when did the potions on you appear?"
"Before you entered this space, we each received a bottle of potion and found out about your situation and the effect of the potion," Aldan answered.
Feng Bujue thought, Is it a method to directly feed them the relevant data? Other than that, the short ten seconds it took for me to generate the scenario felt like a long time for them. Without the presence of the players, the calculation speed of these scenario worlds seems to be much faster.
"Let me start from the beginning …" Feng Bujue stretched his body lazily on the chair. This moment of relaxation was a kind of relaxation that came when he was trying to organize his thoughts. "Before I entered this prison, you had already finished weaving the space, and the layout had been planned. Everything was ready. When I appeared, Billy used the broadcast to communicate with me at the starting point.
When I reached the fan-shaped room at the front, you showed me a wonderful performance. This illusion was … "He paused and looked at Billy and Aldan with a questioning gaze.
"I created it." It was Rabbitte who answered him in the second cell.
"Haha … Good job." Feng Bujue praised it. "Then, I entered the third corridor and met Aldan. Then, I came to the end. I met Rabbitte again and saw Billy in the cell. The three of you are deliberately mystifying me, limiting my next path, and making it seem like I came up with this choice myself.
Then, I came to the second corridor and met SCP-173. The one who locked it up was … "
"Me," Billy answered. "After you shattered it, it was me who caused the potion to appear on the ground."
"Hmm … Looks like you can not only adjust the space but also control the objects here." Feng Bujue said. "There is a question. Why didn't you kill SCP-173 but lock it up?"
"Whenever we kill one of these creatures, after twenty-four hours, another one will be released," Billy replied. "And every time, the species is different. Some of them are very scary." That face, that voice, and the fact that he had used such a hurt tone to describe them as' terrifying ', it was not hard to imagine … these punishment creatures that were thrown into prison were indeed very difficult to deal with. "That 173 is one of the easier ones to control. It's not that difficult to imprison him. It's easier to imprison him than to kill him."
"Yes … There was one time when an old man who looked like a mummy came in. He could use the ability to create space to perform short distance interdimensional jumps. Physical damage was basically useless against him. When he hid in the Dimension Hole, we couldn't do anything. In the end, Billy could only create a large, complicated, and randomly arranged building to trap him while we went around him to kill Faust," Rabbitte added.
"That sounds like SCP-106 …" Feng Bujue mumbled. However, he did not continue the topic. Instead, he continued his story. "After I dealt with the second corridor, I was actually quite suspicious of your explanation. However, with the situation at the time, I did not want to take the risk of causing a space-time paradox. I also did not want to expose my plan because of my abnormal actions, so I followed your plan and entered the fourth corridor."
Feng Bujue looked at Billy. "And you, you moved from this cell to the fourth corridor and interacted with me as if nothing had happened. The game looked difficult, but when I actually tried it, you allowed me to obtain the potion easily. "
"Was my action unnecessary?" Billy asked.
"Actually, not at all." Feng Bujue said. "If you know my character, you should know that your action was beneficial to all of us." He paused for a moment. "By the way, can you clean the gasoline and blood off my body now?"
Before he finished, there was a strange glint in Billy's eyes, and the discomfort on Feng Bujue's body disappeared instantly. Even the gasoline that was stuck to his skin evaporated completely.
"Thank you." Feng Bujue thanked him politely and continued, "Your original plan was for me to die in the pool of gasoline after discovering the potion and use up a medal. Then, you would teleport me to the end of the corridor. That way, the game's difficulty and process would be more realistic. However, what you didn't expect was that I, who didn't know how to swim at all, would come out before the floor closed. Therefore, the time I 'caught' you was a few minutes earlier than you expected.
To match your time theory, you had no choice but to extend the second half of the fourth corridor. It took me eighteen minutes to reach the end.
"After you reached the end, you purposely didn't mention the word 'potion' and pretended to be in a hurry to bait me into revealing my weakness." At this point, the light in the second cell came on. He appeared in one piece inside the cell, and the body on the ground had disappeared.
"I have one more thing to confirm," Feng Bujue said. "The reason you gave me the medal … is to prevent me from being killed by 173?"
"Actually, as long as you don't die from the poison, we can revive you as many times as we want," Billy said. "But … if that happens, you will question the nature of this game, and you will definitely investigate the reason behind it."
"Therefore, you materialized the resurrection power, limited the number, and gave it to me." Feng Bujue nodded lightly. He placed his index finger below his lips and said, "Alright, I think I have understood everything now." He took his feet off the table and sat upright. "I'm very sorry that your complicated and thorough plan to induce people has failed, but … I can still help you."
When the three prisoners heard this, their bodies froze. Their expressions were not very expressive, but if they had human faces, their eyes would be glowing.
"I have two conditions, if you can fulfill them …" Feng Bujue raised two fingers. "You help me, and I'll help you."
"Conditions?" Aldan repeated. He seemed a little surprised.
"Of course. Even though I'm not a member of the Order Faction, once I help you today, it means that I've become the enemy of the Master of Time," Feng Bujue said seriously. "The amount of risk one takes is determined by the amount of reward one can get. If you don't wish to negotiate with me, I don't mind. But you have to consider who will be more unwilling to part ways with me. "
"Go ahead." Billy was obviously the one in charge of this. He was not only the brains, but also the one with the strongest abilities. When it came to negotiating, he spoke with determination.
"The first condition." Feng Bujue's eyes scanned their faces. "Please tell me honestly, the three of you, or rather … I don't mean to offend you, but why are you three monsters locked up here? Also, what the hell is the Master of Time? "
"Why do you want to know about this?" Billy asked. "Our existence and past don't mean much to you travelers from another world, right?"
"Then, all the more reason you should tell me these unimportant things," Feng Bujue replied. "And be thankful that … the first condition is so simple."
Billy hesitated for about ten seconds. In this period of time, he used a method that Feng Bujue did not know about to communicate with Ravid and Aldan. Then he said, "The Master of Time is one of the Four Pillars of Divinity. All the territories in time and space are under his rule."
"The four pillar gods are?" Feng Bujue really liked to get information from NPCs.
"The Master of Time controls the river of order. The Leader of Demons rules the land of chaos. The King of the Nether Abyss rules the Kingdom of the Dead. The Court of Truth judges good and evil," Billy replied. Billy replied, "These words have been spread throughout the various worlds. Every ghost, monster, demon, or god who is slightly more mainstream knows about it."
"Hmm … You can continue." At this moment, Feng Bujue was like those high-level ghosts and demons. He memorized these four sentences deeply in his mind.
Billy continued, "For a long time, the four pillar gods have kept each other in check and maintained a balance. They consciously avoided conflict and conflict between each other.
War is something that none of them want to see because none of them have the confidence to win against the other side. If two gods start a war, the third and fourth sides are unknown.
Even though this prison is under the rule of the Master of Time, it is the Court of Truth that judges us.
My core power is to control space, Aldan is to control fear, and Ravid is to control illusions. Aldan and I were accused of 'spreading Chaos' and were locked up here. Ravid was imprisoned because … of something else. "
Hearing the unnatural pause, Feng Bujue immediately asked, "What is it?"
"Er … he and his cousin were originally part of the jury, but they were convicted for contempt of court," Billy replied.
"Then what about your cousin? Locked in another prison? "Feng Bujue asked again.
"In the court, they couldn't catch my cousin at all," Ravid said.
"You mean … a rabbit managed to escape from an organization called the Court of Truth?" Feng Bujue asked with a smile.
Ravid shrugged. "My cousin can escape from anywhere. He only needs to draw a black hole on the wall and crawl into it …"
"Ha … haha …" Feng Bujue's lips twitched as he laughed drily.
It was Billy who pulled the topic back on track. "Before Faust, our prison guard was indeed Sam Montier. Before he betrayed the Master of Time, he released the three of us. It was during that time that you and I met once."
"Hmm … actually, it was only five or six days ago," Feng Bujue replied.
"That's for you," Billy said. He continued, "Sam Montier was not able to escape for long before he was captured by the Master of Time. He soon gave up our location and was spared the death penalty. I heard that he was later exiled to Devil's Chomp Island …
And we were locked up again. The prison guard was changed to Faust, and our sentence was increased by several times. The time in this prison is indefinite. It is longer than anywhere else. Perhaps you think that we met five or six days ago, but for me, the nightmare of reincarnation in this prison has been going on for at least a year or more. "
Feng Bujue digested the information and combined the events at the maze of shadows with the events at Hunter's Island. He realized that the timing did match. The fake general, Raines Ford, whom he met in the Hunter's Island scenario, had probably drifted to Devil's Island for some unknown reason and was taken in by Sam Montier, who was imprisoned there.
"Okay, it sounds like you're not lying." Feng Bujue licked his lips and started his second condition. "Then, my second condition is …" He patted his chest and pointed at the gun on the table. "After this is done, I want the remaining two Contra Medals and the One-Hit Kill Pistol to leave this space."
