Labitte's leg landed squarely on Faust's face, and a silver liquid spurted out from Faust's mouth and nose, along with two of his silver teeth.
Compared to the physical pain, Faust was more concerned about the question in his mind. Why?
"Cough … Pfft …" Faust spat out the blood in his mouth. His eyes widened as he looked at Feng Bujue in shock. "What … what is going on? Just now, you clearly gave them … "
"Of course it was an act for you," Feng Bujue said.
"Impossible, Ravid's illusion, I …" Faust only managed to finish half of his sentence.
Ravid cut him off. "That was the real body." He rubbed his feet on the ground as he said, "I know you can tell the difference between an illusion and a real person, but you've never seen me use an illusion on the real body, right?"
Ravid said as he made a throat-slitting gesture with his rabbit claw. A gash appeared on his neck and blood gushed out like a waterfall. "If you want to see, I can show you the illusion of my heart being ripped out." Before he could finish, the image he created disappeared into thin air. The wound and the blood all disappeared without a trace. "What you saw just now … was just a harmless bullet flying toward my face, and I immediately created the illusion of my head being blown up. Billy's' wound 'is the same."
"One of your mistakes was your overconfidence in the mud puppet's trick. Every time, you easily let them kill the mud puppet. That's why you only have a rough understanding of their abilities." Feng Bujue continued, "If you had been more careful in the past when you controlled the mud puppet from afar, you would have known more about the three prisoners … especially the details and changes of their abilities during battle."
"You brought this upon yourself," Billy said. Billy said, "After we were deceived by your tricks several times, you said the so-called 'Time Master's Incantation'. From then on, you became even more careless in our attempts to escape. Often, you would only put up a token resistance before you were easily killed. " He paused for a moment. "I did wonder why a new warden like you would be so much weaker than Sam Montier. Unfortunately, I was fooled by your spell …"
Faust said, "You … Did you plan this carefully before you came in?"
"It can't be considered thorough." Feng Bujue said in a relaxed tone. "This is not a particularly complicated performance. I was just giving it a try, and that's why I came up with this suggestion. As it turned out, I was right. Of course, even if I wasn't right, we wouldn't lose anything. We would just be putting on an act for nothing. If everything is as you say, they'll come in later, give me the gun, and then I'll shoot you. "
…
Ten minutes ago …
Feng Bujue glanced at the three people beside him, shrugged, and walked forward.
He reached the prison gate in a few steps, and his hand was already on the door handle. But just as he was about to push the door open, he suddenly stopped.
He froze, deep in thought.
"Hey! What's wrong now? Are you done? "Ravid yelled.
"No …" Feng Bujue's eyes flashed with something. "You've been tricked!"
"What? Do you want to take the reward and … "Ravid's voice rose.
"Shut up." Billy stopped him and said in a probing tone, "He's referring to something else."
Feng Bujue let go of the door handle and turned back to the big table. "The 'reincarnation' that you mentioned is indeed possible, but it's triggered by 'killing' Faust every time. That's not right …"
"It's normal to have the ability to revive infinitely in a specific space. Even you can …" Aldan said.
"I'm not saying that there's a problem with him being able to revive." Feng Bujue denied and interrupted. "If it's the Master of Time's spell, why didn't he set the effect to trigger the reincarnation when any of you walk out of the door?" He glanced at the three. "That might cause internal strife." He pointed at the door. "Why did he set it so that the reincarnation will only be triggered after Faust is killed?"
"When the warden is alive, the warden is relied on to guard the prisoners. When the warden dies, the reincarnation will be triggered. Isn't that logical?" Aldan asked.
"Ha!" Feng Bujue laughed. "If the warden is stronger than you, then of course it's logical." He turned to look at Billy. "But the reality is that Billy alone has the ability to kill Faust. If the two of you work together, I'm sure you'll be able to kill him … "
Billy said, "You're saying …"
"It was Faust himself who told you about the reincarnation theory, right?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Yes, it was him," Billy replied.
"Before Faust became your warden, did you know his power?" Feng Bujue asked. "How does he compare to Sam Montier?"
"Even though we haven't fought before, everyone knows that Faust is second only to the Twelve Hourmen." Billy thought about it and said, "Sam Montier … used to be the tenth of the Twelve Hourmen. When he was in charge of the prison, there were no monsters, and there was no reincarnation. The three of us stayed in the small cells. It was impossible to fight back. Even if we worked together and ambushed him, we wouldn't be able to defeat Sam Montier. "
"Hmm …" Feng Bujue crossed his arms before his chest and nodded. "Then that settles it … If the person sent by the Master of Time to take over the job of the warden is not up to the task, why would he send him here? Wouldn't it be easier to just cast a spell? " He raised his head. "Since Faust is here, it means that the Master of Time has acknowledged his ability to keep an eye on you. But … Faust's method of keeping an eye on you doesn't rely on pure power. He has his own way … "
Feng Bujue pursed his lips. "Plus … is there really such a spell? From my perspective as a visitor from another dimension, if there really is such a spell, the Master of Time would just put an aggressive pig at the door. Why would he put a guard there? "
"Therefore," Feng Bujue raised one finger, "I believe that Faust is the one who made up the spell."
"Then why …" Ravid wanted to ask.
To save time, Feng Bujue said, "I have a plan. Listen to it."
…
It was less than ten minutes since Feng Bujue's poison took effect.
"Of course, I have my own selfish motives." Feng Bujue continued to speak to Faust. "Although I believe that the remaining potion should be with you, I am not sure if I will get the item after killing you … So, I have to think of a way to trick you into getting the potion.
The possibility of negotiating with you is very low. You said it yourself. According to your deduction, when I opened the prison door and came here, I would definitely be your enemy. Your deduction is correct, but if I knew it beforehand, I could use it to my advantage.
I already got a lot of information from Billy and the others. I know that when you got the potion, you already had information about me and used it to make guesses about my abilities and actions. Since you already believe that I will cooperate with the three of them, I will put on a show of betrayal in front of you and subvert your point of view.
Seeing it with your own eyes is more convincing than any words. That's why I even used a skill like [Evil King's Black Dragon Flame Wave] after the ambush.
At that time, Billy's gunshot wound was just an act. He was actually in perfect condition. Plus, we had discussed beforehand that if I successfully used the skill, he would take it head on and use the black flames and illusions to escape.
Aldan's last few words were to make you think that my betrayal was unexpected and real.
As expected, this act of sparing no expense was effective. Seeing Aldan retreat, one had to believe that everything was real.
So, after Aldan retreated, you let down your guard and gave me the potion. Then, you appeared in front of me with your real body. Because you can't wait to share your clever trick with me, who is on your side, and who will never come here again to divulge it. After all, you used this trick to fool them for so long. If you don't find someone to brag about it, wouldn't it be a waste? "
Faust's expression hardened. "Tch … Aren't you doing the same thing right now?"
"That's different. You want to brag." Feng Bujue laughed. "But I'm showing you my last concern so that you won't die without knowing why." Then, he used the Antidote. The system announcement came.
"Current quest completed. All main quests completed.
You've completed the scenario. Automatic teleportation in sixty seconds. "
"He's right," Aldan whispered to Billy. Aldan whispered into Faust's ear. "You're dead. I can guarantee that before you die, you'll fully experience what 'horror' is."
Ravid gritted his teeth, looking like he was about to practice Rabbit Fist.
Knowing that he was going to die, Faust glared at Feng Bujue with resentment. "Why are you helping them? Do you know the price of going against the Master of Time? "
"I have a question as well." Billy turned to ask Feng Bujue, "Why didn't you betray us?" He said in a low voice, "If you had chosen to push the door open and come in more than ten minutes ago instead of discussing with us in advance … I think you would have succeeded. The result of the sudden betrayal would not be much different from what we had acted out. For you, that would have helped you clear the scenario, right? And it would have saved you the trouble of making an enemy out of the Master of Time. "
"Haha …" Feng Bujue chuckled. "Regarding the grudge, I have already considered it … If neither of you nor I say anything, who will know that I am related to this prison break?" He shrugged. "I am just a traveler from another dimension, a small character that is not worth mentioning. You killed Faust and escaped. If no one leaked the news, then I had nothing to do with it. "
Feng Bujue said in a relaxed tone, "Speaking of which … what did I do? It wasn't me who captured Faust, and I didn't kill him, so I had nothing to do with it, right? " He shamelessly tried to brush things off with a few words. "As for why I helped you, I've already explained it …" His lips curled into a smile, and there was madness in it. "I'm not a member of the lawful faction."
