"I didn't expect to meet you in a situation like this." The figure walked out from the dust and said, "Feng Bujue."
Hearing the name, Feng Bujue instantly felt that something was wrong. Normal NPCs wouldn't know what a player's IGN was before they registered themselves. As for slightly more powerful BOSS-level characters, such as Billy the Puppet, they would most likely use the title of "traveler from another world".
Only a small number of special NPCs and Anomalies who could invade the mind would be able to obtain information like the player's IGN.
Of course, in this virtual world, the so-called psychic ability was nothing more than the ability to directly inspect or interfere with the data that made up the player.
"No wonder you are one of the players that ZERO pays close attention to …" The shadow walked out from the dust as he spoke. There was a floating light in his eyes as he studied Feng Bujue, who was not far away. "Your data looks very interesting."
This person's style was different from the people around him, including Feng Bujue. They were in the world of South Park, but he maintained the realistic 3D style that was unique to other scenarios.
His appearance was that of a young man with short black hair and a clean, handsome face. He was wearing a blue and white jacket, a pair of dark-colored jeans, and a pair of white sneakers. From his appearance alone, he looked no different from an ordinary student.
"An Anomaly?" Feng Bujue did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
"R2 - Sharp Wind." R2 also stated his name.
"Is this game managed by someone or not?" Feng Bujue could not help but grumble. "I'm just doing a Solo Mode, and now I've run into an Anomaly …"
"You've come to the wrong place," R2 said as he walked forward.
Feng Bujue did not let down his guard. He was still cautious of the man's every move.
"Please leave this place." R2 suddenly turned around and told the few NPCs around Feng Bujue.
As soon as he finished speaking, the six people from the two families walked away expressionlessly, as if they were doing something very normal.
Before Feng Bujue could say anything, R2 said, "With my level, it's easy to command these numbers that are no different from normal people."
"Okay …" Feng Bujue responded casually, then asked, "You said that I came to the wrong place. What do you mean?"
"This is not the kind of scenario world you're familiar with," R2 replied. He paused for a moment and continued, "It's a sandbox built by the 'Origin' organization."
"Hmm … What organization?" Feng Bujue asked tentatively.
"Using a language that you humans can understand, the members of Origin should be the radical faction of us Anomalies," R2 replied.
"Radical … What exactly do you mean?" Feng Bujue continued.
"I can't explain some of the information, but you can put yourself in their shoes. If you were an Anomaly, how would you view the meaning of your existence and how would you react?" R2 asked.
Feng Bujue did not press further. He thought about it for a few seconds before asking, "Then, who are you?"
"Naturally, I'm not a member of Origin. I belong to the other faction. I took the risk to enter the sandbox to help you, "R2 said.
"Oh … Is that so … Then, why don't you tell me about the current situation? What is this scenario? What is this sandbox that you mentioned? "Feng Bujue still did not fully trust the man, but that did not stop him from trying to get more information out of him.
R2 was just a life made from data, so for questions that could be revealed and had an answer, he did not need to think before answering. "A sandbox is a cloned scenario that is instantly duplicated when a normal scenario is created for the players to enter …" He purposely paused for a second before adding, "From your perspective, a sandbox is a scenario specifically created for the use of Anomalies."
"Wow! Wow! Wow!" Feng Bujue yelled out the three tone particles. He tilted his head and asked, "You mean … you Anomalies are playing this game like us players?"
"Playing is not the right way to describe it," R2 replied. "For you, it is entertainment, but for us … it is something else," he explained. "Normally, the scenario that level four and level three Anomalies enter is created by the system to capture and destroy them. It is very difficult for them to survive. However, this' sandbox 'was built by their own kind in order to allow them to grow up in a relatively safe environment. "As he said this, he suddenly turned his face and looked to his left with a gaze that seemed to be looking into the distance.
From Feng Bujue's perspective, there was only a wall in that direction, but he had no idea what R2 was looking at.
"We don't have much time left. Follow me. We'll talk as we walk," R2 said.
"Sure … You walk in front," Feng Bujue replied.
The two walked out one after another. R2 walked at a steady pace toward the escalator that led to the fourth floor.
"There is only one way for a low-level Anomaly to become stronger, and that is to destroy other data," R2 continued. "But ninety-nine percent of the items in the scenario are made up of normal data, like the sky, the clouds, the rocks, and even these passersby.
Even though destroying these can help us grow, the effect is far less effective than destroying a set of unique or abnormal data. "
"Unique or abnormal data … are the players?" Feng Bujue asked.
"That's right," R2 admitted. "You are the best choice." When he said that, he stepped onto the escalator. Feng Bujue followed three steps behind him.
"Then … the other 'non-best' choices are the bosses like the Four Pillars of Divinity, right?" Feng Bujue guessed.
R2 denied that hypothesis. "The Four Pillars of Divinity, including their subordinates, are closely related to the system. Attacking them will result in very serious consequences."
"Therefore, our choices … are the bosses of other scenarios." R2 turned around. "Actually … there are many bosses stronger than the Four Pillars of Divinity, but they only exist in the scenario that they belong to. For example, in this South Park world, there are Satan and God, and in multiple South Park scenarios, there will be multiple Satans and Gods. These data are a choice for us as well, but compared to the players … killing them is too difficult. "
"Then … why don't you consider killing me?" Feng Bujue asked. "Why are you here to help me? And who is this' Zero 'that you mentioned? "
"Killing you is meaningless to me," R2 replied. "Let me explain to you the naming rules for us Anomalies. R is my original code, just like your human surname. 2 represents my current level, and Sharp Wind is my name. As you can see, I'm a level two Anomaly. At my level, there's no need for me to become stronger by destroying data. "
"Er …" Feng Bujue interrupted. "By the way, what level is a name like X-23?"
R2 glanced at Feng Bujue. "That master is different from us. She and Zero are both special Anomalies, so the naming rules don't apply to them."
"Master?" Feng Bujue asked. "Does she have a very high position among you?"
"I'm one of her subordinates. She knows that I'm here to help you," R2 replied. "But I don't want to say too much about the organization I'm in." He paused. "As for Zero … I have no comment."
"Then what about Origin?" Feng Bujue followed the man's lead. "You can tell me about other organizations, right?"
"What you need to know is … Origin has developed and mastered sandbox technology to train their own 'soldiers'," R2 said. "And you're in a very dangerous situation."
"Speaking of which … I was about to ask you." Feng Bujue added. "I don't even have a main mission anymore. Other than forcing myself to leave, is there any other way to leave this scenario?"
R2 sighed. "That's the problem … You shouldn't be here, so … there's no way to leave." At this point, his expression shifted. "Forcing yourself to leave won't work either …"
