"Inspector Gordon will arrive at this factory tonight, and he will be captured by Mr. Freeze. Twenty-four hours later, Gordon will defeat Mr. Freeze at another location. "Feng Bujue did not hurry to enter the factory. Instead, he observed the surrounding terrain and escape routes.
"Now that I think about it … this scenario started too early. None of the important events have happened yet. The prison van transporting Arkham's prisoners hasn't been robbed yet. After that, it was the series of actions that Black Mask ordered the criminals to rob Two-Face of his firearms and attack the Gotham City Police Station. The battle for the cape between the heroes will happen at the same time … "He calculated in his heart." To catch up to all this, I'll need to stay in this scenario for two or three days, and that's obviously impossible. In this kind of non-sleeping mode scenario, staying too long will exceed the game's time limit … In other words, in this Killing Game, the system doesn't plan to give us too much leeway to change the main plot. It merely borrows the setting of Gotham City to give us a stage to fight on. "
His grasp of the setting was accurate, and the task in front of him was undoubtedly arduous …
For Feng Bujue, who was the weakest of the six players, to turn the tables and win, he had to make use of all the available resources in the scenario.
When he was reading the newspaper at the hotel, he had come up with three plans. The first plan was to kill and impersonate the Black Mask to replace him. Then, he would control Arkham's prisoners and have them attack other players. The second plan was to sneak into the Batcave and steal a large amount of equipment to use as his battle capital. The third plan was to rob Mr. Freeze of his Freeze Ray Gun.
The first plan could be said to be the best plan. However, it would be difficult to execute. Even though Feng Bujue knew the real identity of the second Black Mask and knew what he was going to do and how he was going to do it … to find the man's hiding place, kill him, and move the prison break earlier, there were too many variables, and any part of the plan had a high chance of failure.
The second plan could be considered a middle plan. It did not matter in terms of time, but the problem was the risk and difficulty.
Currently, there were two Batcaves in Gotham City. One was at Wayne Manor, and the other was at the collapsed subway underneath the city. Be it Bruce Wayne's Batcave or Jason Todd's DIY Batcave, they should have plenty of equipment stored there, and they should be at least excellent quality.
It was not difficult for Feng Bujue to find any one of them. With his reasoning ability, all he had to do was to check the map and the relevant information about the city's traffic. The problem was … it was easy to find, but difficult to enter. Easy to enter, but difficult to exit.
Now, the heroes of the "Network of God" all treated the Batcave as their stronghold. Barbara (Director Gordon's daughter, the former Batgirl, who was paralyzed by the Clown in "Fatal Joke" and was currently the "Sage") also stayed in there for a long time. If he went in to steal things and bumped into a random superhero, it would be difficult for Feng Bujue.
As for Jason Todd's bat cave, it was mostly empty, but if there was someone there … Feng Bujue would die if he sneaked in. Todd was like a version of Batman who knew how to use a gun and kill people. Based on the description of the third Robin in the comic, he had an extremely cruel fighting style, good fighting skills, and the skills of a sharpshooter. He moved in the shadows and moved in the dark. The criminals who ran into him would not even be able to see his movements clearly.
No matter which Batcave he targeted, with Feng Bujue's fighting ability, the chance of him entering and not leaving was very high.
Therefore, he chose the third strategy, which had the lowest reward but the highest chance of success.
Mr. Freeze's fighting ability was normal, and his weakness to heat was obvious. As long as he did not face him head-on while he was holding the Freeze Ray Gun, taking him down was not that difficult. Even a normal person like Director Gordon could do that.
Furthermore, even if Feng Bujue managed to subdue Mr. Freeze before the police arrived, it would not affect the main plot of this world. At most, it would cause Victor to be arrested one day earlier. After all, Mr. Freeze would be sent to Cold Steel Mountain Prison, and it would have nothing to do with Arkham.
"If only the duration of this scenario was longer. If only I could contact a more powerful villain and provide him with some information. Then I would be able to take down the base of the Justice League and send a few nuclear bombs to the other players, "Feng Bujue mumbled. By then, he had walked around the factory and returned to the spot where he got off the bus." Hmm … Entering from the second-floor window is not a bad idea … "
"Is that so? You want to steal Mr. Freeze's Freeze Ray Gun, right?" A voice interrupted Feng Bujue's train of thought.
Feng Bujue heard that, and his heart squeezed. He immediately realized that he had run into another player.
"Based on what you've said … it sounds like you've been following me for a long time." Feng Bujue pretended to be calm as he slowly turned around to look at the source of the voice. "Why don't you ambush me?" He smiled. "Don't tell me something like 'there's no need'."
The Shadow King's unassuming figure appeared in Feng Bujue's sight. He replied calmly, "Even if I want to ambush you, I have to have the means to do so." As he spoke, he took out a pistol from his inventory. "For me, if I want to ambush you, I can only rely on this."
Feng Bujue was on alert, but to his surprise, the man calmly put the pistol back into his inventory.
"Haha … Unfortunately, my marksmanship mastery is only Level F. If I'm too far away, there's an eighty percent chance that I won't be able to hit you." Shadow King replied with a smile. "And if it's a close-range ambush, I'm not that confident since my fighting mastery is only Level E.
Furthermore, we're both around level thirty. Do you think you won't notice if I sneak up on you? Based on my observation, you're a very careful person. Anyone who gets within five meters of you, even the movement of their arm will attract your attention, much less pull out a gun. "
When Feng Bujue listened to the man, he was also observing his body language. After the man finished, he replied, "I can't see any sign of lying on your face. That means there are two possibilities … Either you're a god-tier liar, or what you said earlier is true … "He paused and looked directly into the Shadow King's eyes." If you're really a player who is bad at fighting and marksmanship. Then … there are two possibilities why you've appeared before me now. " As he spoke, he raised one finger. "The first possibility is that you're very weak, so you're trying to form an alliance with me to deal with the other players in this scenario." He raised a second finger. "The second possibility is that among your three masteries — Workmanship, Sorcery, and Summoning — one or more of them must be very strong, and that gives you enough confidence to defeat me."
"Oh?" The Shadow King seemed to be interested. "Even though it's very arrogant, it's a correct analysis," he said. "Anything else?"
"Of course." Feng Bujue's lips curled into a smile. "Be it on foot or in the taxi, I've been paying attention to whether I'm being followed, but I didn't notice you at all.
I believe you know that your stalking method is not something I can detect. Why would you show yourself in this situation where you're in the dark and I'm in the light? If you want to kill me, wouldn't it be better to wait until I ambush Mr. Freeze? "
Feng Bujue scratched his chin and paced back and forth. "Combined with the information you've just given me, I came up with this hypothesis … No matter what your stalking method is, your fighting method … must be very flashy."
The Shadow King's eyes shifted.
"Like a giant robot, a powerful Sorcery, a monster-like summon, and so on …" Feng Bujue continued. "If you think about it that way, things make sense," he said calmly. "If you make your move in the city, even if you manage to kill me, you'll attract the attention of the police, superheroes, and other players."
Feng Bujue chuckled coldly. "And using the fighting method described above, there's no reason for you to wait until I'm fighting Mr. Freeze because it's the same here." He pointed at the road that he had come from. "This factory is quite far from the city, and it's quite deserted. I believe … actually, when I entered this area in the taxi, you were already prepared to make your move. It's just that when you were following me, you kept quite a distance from me. So, you only showed up after I circled around the factory. "
Shadow King studied Feng Bujue up and down. "You're … Feng Bujue?" On the combat stat ranking, Shiva, Understanding Death, and Seven Kills had guild names, and Not a Scaredy Cat was obviously a girl's IGN. Therefore, when Shadow King saw Feng Bujue's Underworld Frontline badge, he came to this conclusion.
"That's … me …" Feng Bujue replied. His tone could be described as obnoxious, like he was some big character himself.
"You're quite good at analyzing things. If there's a chance in the future, I'd like to cooperate with you," Shadow King said. "But now, I believe you're dead meat." Under his normal appearance, there was a scary presence. "Players outside the top ten on the combat stat ranking are no match for me."
"Oh? Based on your tone, you're also on the ranking, but you're anonymous? "Feng Bujue purposely tried to get information out of the man.
Shadow King did not hide anything and said directly, "Number nineteen, known as the Man in the Shadow, Shadow King."
"You're number nineteen, but you say that no one below the top ten can beat you?" Feng Bujue said. "If that's true … then I'll tell you a secret," he said seriously. He said seriously, "Don't think that I'm not even on the Combat Strength Ranking. None of the people on the ranking can beat me."
"Humph … You think I'm bluffing, don't you?" King of Shadows said with a smile. As he spoke, he took out a small knife from his backpack.
Feng Bujue was prepared because he was the one who was bluffing … Death Poker had been activated. If the man suddenly attacked, he could use Shield to block.
Before he knew it, King of Shadows had stabbed himself with the knife.
"Hey … Brother … What are you doing?" Feng Bujue said. "Are you trying to scare your opponent to death? Let me give you a piece of advice, you can scare anyone but me …"
"Haha … I'm sorry, because I need to use a large amount of my own blood, and it has to be fresh, I have to do this every time." Shadow King laughed bitterly. "Initially, I was inexperienced, so I made random cuts on my arms and legs. In the end, I ended up with wounds everywhere, and I ended up wasting the item to stop the bleeding. Then I understood, and I cut the liver … Cough … "As he said that, he coughed out a large mouthful of blood.
"What the hell is going on?" Feng Bujue instantly took out Miss Moxxi's Bad Temper from his inventory and fired at the enemy. "Looks like you're using a dangerous skill with a high price, aren't you?"
Feng Bujue's marksmanship was Level D, and the shooting distance was just right. Dozens of bullets were fired in a few seconds, and almost all of them hit the target.
Unfortunately, when the bullets were about to hit the Shadow King's body, they hit an invisible barrier and were all bounced off.
"I bought a set of armor specialized in bullet defense at a high price, and all of them have the Refraction attribute." Shadow King laughed. "Just to buy a few seconds …" His blood quickly spread on the ground and turned into a round pool of blood under his feet.
At that moment, Shadow King's eyes flashed.
The next second, the blood on the ground surged as if it was boiling.
Feng Bujue did not reload the second magazine of bullets. After he saw that the bullets were ineffective, he decisively put away the gun. Instead, he took out his [Death Poker], and a straight flush immediately flew out. At the same time, he took a step forward and followed the poker card like an arrow leaving the bow.
Shadow King pulled out his sword, covered his wound, and retreated. However, he staggered and could not even stand properly. His speed was no different from an ordinary person's. It was obvious that he could not dodge the combo attack of Death Poker and Feng Bujue.
As the saying goes, take the enemy's life when they are weak. When Feng Bujue was halfway there, he had already taken out a stool from his inventory. He was waiting for the opponent's defense to be broken by Death Poker, and then he would beat him up.
Unexpectedly, just as the poker card flew in front of Shadow King, a giant arm suddenly emerged from the pool of blood on the ground. A blood-colored energy exploded, and the "Royal Flush" level Death Poker was shaken off its original trajectory.
Seeing this, Feng Bujue slammed on the brakes and dodged to the side. He used the strength of his foot to bypass the giant arm and continued to attack Shadow King himself.
Shadow King could not dodge and was caught by Feng Bujue.
Pa pa pa …
The stool hit Shadow King's body like raindrops. Feng Bujue's technique of using the best of the eighteen types of weapons was very skillful …
"You are indeed a summoning specialist! You are indeed a fighting specialist E! You are so weak! "Feng Bujue beat up his opponent mercilessly.
In Feng Bujue's eyes, there were two reasons why villains lost:
First, when they had the upper hand, they liked to waste time. In countless movies, a similar scene could be seen: a villain pointed a gun at the head of the main character. Instead of shooting, the villain would ramble on and on, and in the end, the main character would find an opportunity to turn the tables and win.
Second, they took off their pants to fart. Similarly, in movies, there was a type of villain. They had guns, but they liked to tie the main character somewhere, put a bomb next to him, and then leave. What kind of behavior was this? This was simply like getting a divorce before having a mistress. It made others think of a plan for him.
Feng Bujue would not make this kind of mistake. When the man stabbed himself in the waist, he quickly opened fire and kept attacking. That was how he gained this overwhelming advantage. At that moment, Feng Bujue had a firm plan in mind, and that was to not stop attacking until the man turned into white light and disappeared.
Unfortunately, this' overwhelming advantage 'was only a misconception ….
"Hahaha … Hahaha …" Shadow King hugged his head and squatted down. He looked like a mess, but he was still laughing.
"You're a masochist …" Feng Bujue felt like the man was not dying fast enough, so he switched to the wrench and swung it at the man's head. "First, you used a knife to stab yourself, and now you're being hit so happily?"
"How much Life Points do you think your attacks have drained from me?" When the Shadow King asked that question, the arm that he used to protect his head took a heavy blow from the wrench. The wound tore open, and even the bone was exposed, but from the man's tone, it did not sound like he felt any pain. "Eighty percent? 90%？”
"Then, why don't you tell me?" Feng Bujue pulled his arm back to his ribs and then pushed forward. He jabbed at the Shadow King's chin. Even Feng Bujue did not expect the front half of the wrench to stab directly into the man's brain. Based on the depth, the man's brain should have been destroyed, and his Life Points should have dropped to zero.
"Cough … gah …" With his chin punctured, the Shadow King could not speak normally. Surprisingly, he put down his hands to reveal his deformed face, and he squeezed out a sentence from his lips. "My … life … value … still has … gou … gou … one hundred … gou … gou …"
"You sure are a serious person … You really told me that. Is there a need for that? Are you trying to threaten me? "Feng Bujue realized something. His eyes moved away from the Shadow King and turned to look at the blood arm that was rising from the pool behind him.
By then, it was not just an arm that appeared but the whole monster.
The monster had a humanoid shape and was about five meters tall. Its body was incredibly muscular, and it looked like the Hulk. The surface of its body was covered in layers of semi-solidified blood armor, and the color was bright red and gold.
The monster's face had two black holes and a mouth. It did not look scary, but it gave off a feeling that could only be described with one word … powerful.
"From now on, I will share the same Life Points as this Blood Golem." The Shadow King's voice returned to normal.
Feng Bujue took several steps back to prevent himself from being pincered. When he turned to look at the Shadow King again, the wounds on his body were recovering at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
"Don't worry, I told you, I'm very weak." The Shadow King said, "But if you continue to stare at me like before and get punched in the back, I don't care."
Feng Bujue raised his head to look at the Blood Golem and thought, Just what kind of people are at the top of this game?
