The size of this third stone room was similar to the previous floor, but the difference was that it was completely empty.
"Well, this is rather obvious …" Uncle Worthless raised his flashlight to look around. "Not only is there nothing here, there is not even a door that leads to the lower floor …"
"Could this be a dead end?" Unconstrained Imagination asked.
"I think that is possible …" He paused. "When we were on the surface, didn't we see many spires? Perhaps only one or a few of them lead to the bottom of the temple, and the rest are all dead ends. "
"Hmm, you have a point." Uncle Worthless nodded in agreement. "The possibility of that is high …" He thought about it and said, "When we entered the temple, we were in such a hurry that we didn't have the time to investigate. We just picked a random spire and went down, so … it is normal for us to take the wrong path."
"I agree." Hong Hu agreed. "I believe … there should be some kind of hint outside the temple to point out which spire is the correct path." He sighed. "Phew … Thankfully, we only went down three floors before we realized that the bottom of this spire was a dead end. There is still time to turn back. We should return to the surface and investigate the spire and the nearby … "
"I say …" At that moment, Feng Bujue interrupted their conversation.
With his dead fish eyes, he raised his finger to point upward and said weakly, "The entrance to the bottom has disappeared …"
"Huh?" The group was shocked and raised their heads in unison.
In that instant, their Terror Points shot up.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't see how it disappeared." Feng Bujue continued in a light tone. "After we came down, my attention was elsewhere. It was not until you said 'turn back' that I instinctively glanced up, and I realized … there was nothing on the ceiling."
"Er … The door was removed so silently and without leaving a trace in such a short amount of time." Hong Hu used an inconspicuous action to wipe away the cold sweat by his temples. "We really can't let our guard down …"
"No, I don't think this has anything to do with being cautious. This kind of shameless setting used in a Nightmare Scenario can be summed up as' impossible to guard against '. " Feng Bujue continued, "Let's take the current situation as an example … The stone room in front of us has no light source. We have to rely on our own lighting equipment to light it up …" As he spoke, he used the light on the catapult to look around. "And our eyes will naturally move with the light." He paused. "As for the relatively dark places, they will be easily overlooked." Speaking of this, he shone the searchlight on the ceiling. "The ceiling here is quite high. Generally speaking, no one would deliberately look up to stare at it. Therefore, there would always be a period of time when the five of us wouldn't be looking at the door. And during that period of time, anything can happen … "He smiled." Heh … Actually, even if it's only for an instant, there can be N kinds of unforeseen events. The disappearance of the entrance is just one of them … "
"Stop! I believe you're going to start scaring people again. " Atobe quickly cut him off. "Even though I know you're just trying to scare us, I still think I'll pee my pants, so please shut up."
"Imagination is the source of fear, your biggest enemy," Feng Bujue said. "Why don't you let me say it out loud so that we can analyze it in the open?"
"How about this … I'll throw a Meteor Punch at the ceiling or the ground," Unrestrained Pegasus interjected. "Then we'll have a way out. Stop imagining things."
"Ah … To be honest …" Feng Bujue shook his head. "I believe … if you use Meteor Punch here, there's a fifty percent chance of failing to break through the wall, a thirty percent chance of causing the building to collapse, a ten percent chance of triggering a fatal rebound, and a ten percent chance … of success."
"Okay! Then I'll give it a try. "Unrestrained Pegasus lowered his head and raised his arm.
"Hey! Do you even understand Chinese? There's a ninety percent chance of failure! "Feng Bujue yelled.
"Don't worry, a hero is a man who can make the impossible possible!" Brother Ma replied in a tone that was perfect for chuunibyou. He was about to make his move.
"Wait a minute," Uncle Worthless suddenly called out.
"Don't stop me, I've already made up my mind …" Brother Ma waved his arm. "Pegasus …"
Pa!
Unrestrained Pegasus's voice was suddenly cut off.
Because … a strong hand gripped his neck, stopping his movement.
"I told you to stop, don't you understand?" Uncle Worthless used his arm to lift Unrestrained Pegasus off the ground.
This shocked Atobe and Hong Hu greatly, but Feng Bujue merely raised his brow and said, "Oh?"
In the next second, Uncle Worthless stomped his foot and dashed out like a ferocious tiger. He gripped Unrestrained Pegasus' neck tightly and charged forward. After three steps, with a bang … Unrestrained Pegasus' back slammed into the wall of the stone room.
"Who … are … you?" Uncle Worthless stared at the 'Pegasus' before him and asked with emphasis on every word.
"Save … save me …" Unrestrained Pegasus' expression was twisted. At that moment, he could only stand on his tiptoes, or else he would have trouble breathing. However, he still used his dying voice to scream, "He's gone mad … He's been controlled by a monster … Kill him!"
The other three looked at each other and were silent for a few seconds. Then, the three of them surrounded him and stood in a relaxed posture. They looked at this' Pegasus' and asked one after another, "Quick, tell us, who are you? Where is the real Brother Ma? "
"I … am …" The fake still wanted to make one last struggle.
"There are three flaws in your disguise." Feng Bujue cut him off and raised three fingers. "First, your disguise is too fake. The real Brother Ma is not as dumb as you; he's just a hot-blooded idiot." He put down one finger and continued. "Second, under most circumstances, we (players) are unable to attack our allies, but Uncle Worthless managed to attack you. This means that … you're not Brother Ma, and you've been seen through by Uncle Worthless." He put down another finger. "Third …"
"Third … and the most important point." Ambitionist, who was at the side, took over the conversation and said coldly, "He's a bold and unconstrained person. He will never put on an expression like yours and beg others to save him."
After a short silence …
The guy who was restrained by Uncle Worthless finally put away his pained expression and revealed a chilling smile.
"Humph … A bunch of laughable reasons," he said. "From how I see it, they are not convincing at all …" Even though he said that, he still abandoned the disguise and showed his real face.
His clothes and body slowly melted into one, and he turned into a black humanoid creature. From the shape of his body, it was hard to tell whether he was male or female. He had a bald head, and there were normal human ears on both sides of his head. The face also had eyes, a nose, and a mouth that were black and white.
"Hmm … Could you be …" Feng Bujue's expression turned serious.
"Humph … That's right, I am …" The man continued in a rather smug tone.
Feng Bujue continued, "… assisting Detective Conan in sending hundreds of innocent people to prison … Thieves, murderers, and criminals who have committed all kinds of crimes — criminals!"
"F * ck your uncle!" Atobe roared. "Now is not the time to complain!"
"Atobe is right." Hong Hu said. "From how I see it, we should apply torture as soon as possible to dispel the man's arrogance and get Brother Ma's location out of him. That is the most important thing now."
"Don't worry, it's just a joke …" Feng Bujue replied casually on the surface, but in reality … his inappropriate joke was also a test. His main purpose was to see the reaction of his other three teammates to confirm whether there was another fake among them.
"You can guess who it is," Feng Bujue very naturally said as he looked at the fake. "Isn't that right? The spirit of imitation. "
