"Are you trying to tell me that Xiao Tan is essentially a monster or something?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Hehehe … Very good. After accepting the supernatural setting, your way of thinking has suddenly opened up." Woody laughed. "But your guess is wrong."
"Then what is it? Multiple personality disorder? "Feng Bujue continued.
"No, no …" Woody replied. "It should be said that it is a self-protection mechanism of the soul; a kind of … power that he can't fully control yet."
"Oh … Then this mechanism you mentioned, will it cause amnesia?" Feng Bujue asked again.
"Of course not," Woody said.
"Hmm … That's strange." Feng Bujue muttered, "I remember … The day after that incident, Xiao Tan's family helped him apply for a week's leave and took him away from City S. Just when I thought they were going to abscond permanently … A week later, Xiao Tan came back to school as if nothing had happened. " He paused. "After that, I tested him a few times … He had obviously forgotten everything that happened in the alley. I also went to talk to his parents, they only said … Xiao Tan had already forgotten about it, and that they should not mention it again. "
"Hehe … They were right. Because Wang Tanzhi's memory has indeed been isolated," Woody replied.
"Huh?" Feng Bujue was stunned for a moment and speculated, "So … he was taken abroad to be brainwashed?"
"That's not the case." Woody said, "It's just that Wang Tanzhi's parents were worried about their son's situation, so they took him to Dubai and asked his grandfather to help deal with it."
"His grandfather is a magician?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Hahahaha …" Woody seemed to have hit a funny spot and laughed out loud. "Hahaha … He used to be … Hahahaha …" The more he laughed, the happier he became. He even slapped his thigh.
"Sigh … They all call themselves geniuses, but they usually act like idiots …" Arthas looked at her boss from the sofa and sighed.
"Ah … I'm sorry … Hehehe …" Woody stopped laughing after a long time. "I thought of something very interesting."
"Let me summarize …" Feng Bujue said. "My best friend who grew up with me, a tall, handsome, rich man with a decent job … He has some amazing supernatural power hidden in his body, and his family knew about it … but didn't take it seriously. That's because this has been a common occurrence since his grandfather's generation. "
"Yeah," Woody replied.
Feng Bujue took a deep breath. "Well … I think … some of the problems that have been troubling me for years have been solved."
"Hehehe …" Woody continued. "Are you referring to the cover-up of the murder case?" He shrugged. "I was in charge of covering it up, so of course it was flawless."
"You did it?" Feng Bujue thought for a few seconds. "No wonder the media didn't report this at all … I knew it, four people died, how could …"
"Hehe … If it wasn't me, who else could it be?" Woody laughed. "And … are you sure only four people died at that time?"
As soon as he said this, Feng Bujue felt a chill run down his spine. His expression changed slightly. "You …"
"Yes, I also took care of the eyewitnesses." Woody said. "This case was closed as four gangsters fighting, involving passers-by, and finally, the five of them died together."
"Are the police also under your control …" Feng Bujue said. "And … how could the families of the victims accept this result?"
"I'm the devil … I have a lot of ways," Woody said. "Hehehe … anyway, compared to what you did … it's more effective."
"Hmph …" Feng Bujue just snorted and didn't say anything. Because … he had done something similar in the past.
…
That day, in the alley, Brother Jue's appearance helped Xiao Tan regain his sanity, but the latter immediately fainted.
Therefore, the whole mess was left to Feng Bujue.
Brother Jue first calmly observed the situation in front of him, then he went to check the pulse of the four gangsters … After confirming that all four of them were dead, he simply ignored the dead bodies and walked to the little fat man squatting in the corner of the alley. He began to ask about the situation just now.
With the help of threats, lies, and slaps, Brother Jue managed to get the details of what had happened from the witness, who was already scared out of his mind.
Then, he was faced with a major choice …
Calling the police was undoubtedly the "right" choice. If he let the police handle this, what happened next would have nothing to do with him. Just like countless detectives said, "Our duty is to find out the truth, we have no right to decide the life and death of others."
But … Feng Bujue made another choice … He threatened the witness.
He used his reasoning ability to quickly tell the witness's school, grade, and even where he lived … He also used a serious and cold tone to threaten him with violence and death.
"You also hate them, right? You want them dead, right? Do you think anyone will believe your words? If my friend and I testify that you killed them, it seems more believable, right? "After the threat, it was time to guide the witness. This was the only way to make the witness follow his train of thought. This was the only way to make the witness believe that following what the person in front of him said was the only way out.
Soon, Feng Bujue forced the witness to write down a set of statements about the internal strife between the four gangsters. After confirming that the witness did not dare to call the police, he let him go.
Then, he began to clean up the scene and clean up the evidence … He erased all the bloody palm prints on the iron rod and imprinted the fingerprints of the deceased on it. He took off the clothing of the deceased who was wearing a leather jacket and cleaned the collar, cuffs, and hem of the jacket where fingerprints could easily be found. Then, he covered up the fingerprints of the deceased and threw them aside. He carefully erased all the footprints left behind by himself and Xiao Tan, as well as the palm prints on the ground. He even damaged the corpses a second time, further increasing the impact of the fractures to disrupt the autopsy …
When Feng Bujue was serious about something … his ability to execute and plan was very strong. The whole process only took him five minutes …
Finally, he took off his school uniform and put it on Xiao Tan's jacket. He carried him on his back and walked out of the alley with the two backpacks.
In order to avoid the surveillance cameras on the nearby streets, he deliberately took two more alleys and passed through a residential area. Then, Brother Bujue stopped a taxi and sent Xiao Tan home.
It was not a long journey, and Feng Bujue's school uniform had covered up the blood and stains on Xiao Tan's body, so the driver did not suspect anything.
In less than ten minutes, the two of them arrived at Xiao Tan's house. Xiao Tan's house was in a high-end neighborhood. Feng Bujue had been there several times before. He called Xiao Tan's parents over through the walkie-talkie. First, he asked them to pay the taxi fare (Brother Bujue's pocket money was very little back then). Second, he asked them to help carry Xiao Tan's body …
…
"What you did could indeed interfere with the police's investigation to a certain extent, but it was far from enough," Woody said. "You should know this very well."
"Yeah … Even if I consciously avoided the surveillance cameras on the street when I left the alley, I couldn't guarantee that they weren't captured before they entered the alley …" Feng Bujue said. "After all, I was still a junior high school student at that time. Even if I could come up with a few plans to sneak into the local police station and destroy the video files, it would be difficult to implement them." He spread his hands. "Of course … What worried me the most was the witness … It was only a matter of time before he told the truth."
"So … At the end of the day, everything you did could only delay the progress of the investigation." Woody continued, "Hehe … But, that's all you needed to do … Because you know that Wang Tanzhi's family has a certain background. As long as they have time, they can do a lot of things. Whether it's legal or illegal … "
"Actually, I was already prepared at that time … I was waiting for the police to come and take me to assist in the investigation." Feng Bujue said. "During that time, I watched the news every day, but there was no news at all … I originally speculated that Xiao Tan's family was the mediator, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was unlikely … After all, this was not a small case. It wasn't until today that I found out the truth. "
"I have a question …" Woody pushed on his glasses and tossed a curious look at Brother Jue. "If you have enough power and can be like me, to ensure that nothing goes wrong … would you go and kill the witness to help your friend get away with the crime?"
"How could that be possible?" Feng Bujue answered quickly. "I helped Xiao Tan cover up the evidence because I believed in him. I believed that his intention was legitimate self-defense." He said with a righteous expression, "But if you want me to kill him … This involves another life. That witness has no grudge against me, and I have never met him …"
"We can tell that you're lying." Arthas interrupted Brother Bujue's nonsense.
"Tsk … Why didn't you say so earlier?" Feng Bujue's tone immediately became lazy and casual. "Since I've decided to do it, of course, I have to do it flawlessly and eliminate the root of the problem …"
"Well said …" Woody praised him. "You're really that kind of person …"
"Oh? What kind of person am I? "Feng Bujue laughed.
"You're the kind of person … Deep down, you view morality and the law as worthless. You always apply your own unique standards to things." Woody continued gloomily. "You're the kind of person … You must be restrained by strict laws and regulations. You're the kind of person … Once you gain the power to break common sense, the consequences will be unimaginable …"
"Hmph … Your last two sentences are applicable to most humans, right?" Feng Bujue said. "Everyone wants to do whatever they want, right?" He tilted his head. "As for the first sentence … Why don't you just say that I have anti-social tendencies?"
"Hehehe … Very good …" Woody said. "A conversation between villains should be more explicit."
"Then I'll ask you a few questions in a more direct way," Feng Bujue said. "First of all … Xiao Tan should be fine now, right?"
"You don't have to worry about him." Woody pointed at the clock on the wall. "Because he hasn't been answering the phone, so … Two minutes ago, Gu Xiao Ling drove to his house." He laughed for a while. "Hehehe … She can handle such a small situation."
"Huh?" Feng Bujue continued. "Could it be that Gu Xiao Ling is also …"
"Hehehe … Don't worry, she's human," Woody said. "She's not under my jurisdiction."
"Hmm …" Feng Bujue muttered. "I mean … Among the people I know, how many abnormal humans are there?"
"No comment," Woody replied.
"Heh …" Feng Bujue sneered. "Then let's talk about me." He raised his hand and tapped his temple with his index and middle finger. "What did you do to my brain?"
"Hehehe … Do you still need to ask? I sealed your fear, "Woody replied.
"Why?" Feng Bujue asked again.
"Ah … Why … Heh heh heh …" Wu Di repeated the question, and then laughed again.
"You don't want to answer this question?" Feng Bujue asked.
Woody shrugged. "It's not time to tell you yet." He seemed to have suddenly remembered something. "Oh, but you can rest assured that this is not some physiological incurable disease. Your life is not in danger for the time being."
"Ha …" Feng Bujue laughed dryly. His face was full of displeasure. "This is really exciting news."
"Hehehe … Perhaps this news will make you a little happier …" Woody continued. "You're not the only one who has been sealed."
"Oh, who else?" Feng Bujue said in a cold tone.
The corners of Woody's lips curled up as he read out the name. "Li Ruoyu."
Feng Bujue's eyes changed. He was silent for a few seconds before saying, "No, you're lying. She can feel fear."
"Hehehehe … I didn't say her sealed emotion was' fear '," Woody replied.
Feng Bujue's expression tensed. He tried to recall every moment when he was with her. He tried to recall her words and actions … but he couldn't find any clues.
"You won't be able to guess," Woody said. "Even she doesn't know the existence of the seal." He smiled. "Li Ruo Yu's seal was set not long after she was born. Because it's a baby's brain, it's easier to deal with it. Doing something to an adult's brain might cause a shadow, but her seal … can't be seen by human medical equipment … "
Poof!
Feng Bujue suddenly stood up and threw a punch at Woody's face.
"Heh heh heh …" Woody's cheeks were heavily slapped, but he merely pushed up his glasses and laughed nonchalantly. "Last time, I told you … 'When we meet again, you will be very angry'. Look at that …"
"I think my finger is broken." Feng Bujue looked down at his right fist.
"If our conversation can return to a rational and harmonious atmosphere," Woody said, "I can consider helping you heal your hand."
Feng Bujue glared at Woody with his dead fish eyes as he returned to his seat. After sitting down, he raised his right hand and gave the man the middle finger.
Woody didn't mind. He snapped his fingers and helped Feng Bujue heal the wound on his hand.
"You must think … that people like us who treat humans like toys are very despicable, right?" Woody said. "But have you ever considered … what kind of relationship do you have with the NPCs, monsters, and Anomalies in the game? Do you think the existence from a higher dimension would care about the feelings of those from a lower dimension? Would you care about a normal zombie in a game? Would you consider … what was his name before he was infected, what was his job, and whether he had a wife, a child, and parents waiting for him? "
Feng Bujue didn't answer. He had indeed considered these questions, but he couldn't get the answer. Or rather, he didn't want to think too deeply about it.
"That's just one of the problems you humans face." Woody smiled. "You don't have to worry too much about it, hehehe …"
"You don't want to tell me the reason behind the 'seal'," Feng Bujue said. "Then at least tell me … what is the emotion behind her seal?"
"What is it?" Woody raised his head and sighed. "It is a strong emotion that comes from the heart. It is an emotion that cannot be explained by any science. It is poetic and full of fantasy. It is something that will be carved into one's bones and engraved in one's mind. It will make one go crazy. It will make one throw their fists at an opponent that they cannot defeat without caring about anything else."
"'Love' … is it?" Feng Bujue interrupted him. "It is different from fear … the inability to fall in love with others will not be noticed by oneself …"
"Bingo!" Woody shouted.
"You purposely told me this information …" Feng Bujue said.
Woody said directly. "Of course, it is to make a deal with you."
"What's the deal?" Brother Jue asked.
"You help me with something. After the deal is done, not only will I remove your seal, I will remove hers as well," Woody said.
"You make it sound like removing her seal will benefit me greatly …" Feng Bujue grumbled.
"Hehehe …" Woody's glasses flashed white. "You can say whatever you want."
Feng Bujue asked again, "Then … what do you want me to do?"
"The goal in the near future is …" Woody said. "Put away your sloppy attitude and do your best in the Battle of the Butterfly and then enter the final stage of the Tournament for the Best …"
"By the way," Feng Bujue interrupted. "I was about to ask you … what exactly is this game …"
"I don't need to tell you that Thriller Paradise is not just a game." Woody interrupted him. "The things that it can decide … and the role that you will play … are all incredibly important." His expression was serious. "Feng Bujue, you are no more normal than the other three from Underworld Frontline … I have my reasons for placing my bet on you, so don't disappoint me."
"Okay, okay …" Feng Bujue said, "Then what will happen after I enter the top fifty?"
"Stop her," Woody replied.
"Stop who?"
No one answered this question because before Brother Jue finished, Woody suddenly disappeared like he was never there.
Only Arthas was still lying on the edge of the sofa. It yawned like it could read Feng Bujue's mind. It opened its mouth to say, "No, this is not a dream."
