"This pair of underwear … sure is suspicious …" Feng Bujue looked at the lower half of the body. "Is this the last piece of cloth that the creator left behind for the victim, or is it a container to hide some kind of clue …" He stroked his chin. "If there really is a clue, should it be to test the contestant's moral bottom line … or to test their tolerance for disgusting things …"
While Brother Jue was thinking, he leaned forward and squatted down …
But when he reached out to remove the underwear, he realized … he couldn't reach his hand out.
"Huh?" Feng Bujue was shocked. He tried again, but it still didn't work.
"Oh …" Two seconds later, he relaxed and said, "The system must have stopped me …"
He guessed right … the system defined his attempt as an act of obscenity, so he couldn't do anything about it.
"Very good." Brother Jue smiled. "This means that there are no clues in there."
In a sense, Brother Jue should be thankful. If there wasn't a System Boundary, then he would have to "personally" check it to confirm this matter.
"So … the clue is the handcuffs …" Feng Bujue then moved his gaze up to the wrist of the body. "Let me take a look …" He grabbed the hand without hesitation and raised it to his eyes for a closer look. After a few seconds, he said, "There's nothing special about it …"
Then, Brother Jue put down the arm and turned the body over.
He wanted to see if there was anything hidden under the body, but there was only some scattered rotten flesh and a large number of maggots.
"Aha!" Feng Bujue's eyes lit up when he saw the maggots. His appetite was aroused.
The next second, Brother Jue turned around and ran excitedly to a bush not far away.
For some reason, he stared at the bush as if he was looking at a menu in a restaurant …
About ten seconds later, Brother Jue bent down to grab a handful of grass and returned to the body. "Not bad … Not bad. Now we have both vitamin C and protein." As he mumbled, he reached out to grab a handful of maggots and placed them between the grass.
Then, as if he was eating a lettuce salad, he opened his mouth wide and took a big bite, chewing loudly.
"Hmm … not bad." After swallowing, Brother Jue said self-deprecatingly, "At least it's better than the sandwich I had before."
Just as he was savoring his masterpiece with great relish …
"Ah!" A scream came from behind him.
This time, it was a human scream.
Feng Bujue's expression changed. He immediately adjusted his posture and stood up. he picked up the military shovel and got into a fighting stance.
But … it turned out that he didn't need to be so nervous. Because the person who screamed was about ten meters away from him.
"You … Are you eating the flesh of a dead person?" It turned out that the person who screamed was another contestant — Justin Bubo.
A few seconds ago, Bubo, who was passing by, happened to catch a glimpse of Brother Jue's back. So, he decided to quietly approach and check out the situation … When he saw "Stephen Carbon" squatting next to a corpse and making a very clear chewing sound, he was naturally shocked.
"So it's you …" After Feng Bujue saw the person clearly, he hesitated for half a second. Then, he smiled and said, "What did you say? Eating a dead person? Ha! How is that possible … "He raised his left hand and showed the milk straw maggots on his hand, and replied," It's weeds and worms. "
"Phew … God …" Bubo let out a long sigh, and the expression on his face relaxed a lot. "You scared me to death, Mr. Carbon."
After confirming that Brother Jue wasn't a cannibal, Bubo walked over leisurely.
"But …" Bubo quickly walked in front of Brother Jue and continued, "No matter what you eat … there's no need to squat next to a corpse, right?"
"The worms are right next to the corpse. I don't think there's a need to deliberately change the location." Feng Bujue replied as if nothing had happened. At the same time, he stuffed a big mouthful of his "self-made roll" into his mouth.
"This … Ugh …" Bubo was far away just now, so he didn't see clearly. At this moment, he noticed that the thing in Brother Jue's hand was a live maggot wrapped in weeds …
"Sigh … Young people nowadays." Feng Bujue used a condescending gaze to look at Fu Shu Meng, who was puking, and said in a serious tone, "You vomit at the sight of a few bugs, how useless."
After Bubo finished vomiting, he felt better. He immediately straightened up and said, "Of course I won't vomit when I see worms! But it's different when you see a person eating a live maggot! "
"Justin, oh Justin …" Feng Bujue was still eating, and he seemed to be enjoying it. "Young man … you have to understand that if you want to survive in this wilderness, you have to get used to things like this …" He smacked his lips and spat out some food residue. "When you let go of the prejudice of city people, you will find that … there are delicious food everywhere."
"Are you sure this counts as delicious food …" Bubo covered his nose and replied with a disgusted face.
"Relatively speaking, the taste of maggots is very good among insects, and the protein content is high." Brother Jue was like a teacher giving a lecture to a student. He said methodically, "The taste is sweet with a hint of astringency. Together with the sour taste of the weeds, it is undoubtedly a fresh delicacy."
"Ugh …" Bubo listened to this description and vomited again.
Feng Bujue was still talking non-stop. "As for the taste, maggots that grew up eating rotten meat are fatter than those that grew up eating feces. The quality of the meat is also …"
"Okay! That's enough! " Bubo interrupted Brother Jue with a look of panic. "Mr. Carbon, I understand what you mean … Please stop talking."
"Okay …" Feng Bujue shrugged noncommittally and finished the last bite. Then he tilted his head and gestured to the corpse behind him. He changed the topic and asked, "What do you think?"
"What do you mean what do I think …" Bubo was stunned. "That's a corpse. What else can I think?"
"Haha …" Feng Bujue sneered at Bubo's reaction. He lowered his head and played with the military shovel in his hand. Then he asked, "Oh right, what was the hint you got?"
"Ugh …" Bubo's expression changed suddenly. He hesitated for a while before he replied, "I don't think I can give that to you, Mr. Carbon."
"Well, that's understandable." Brother Jue nodded. "After all, this is a competitive program. It's not good to give exclusive information to the opponent."
Bubo heard this and was obviously stunned. "Well … you're right." He replied woodenly.
"Anyway …" Feng Bujue looked back at the corpse again. "I want to study this corpse …" He squatted next to the corpse. "How about … you stand there and wait for me for a while?"
"Ugh … Mr. Carbon." Bubo looked at Brother Jue's back and hesitated for a few seconds. "Actually, I was just passing by … I thought I'd say hi to you. I think I should go."
"Oh, goodbye." Feng Bujue waved his hand without looking back. "Good luck."
"Goodbye, Mr. Carbon." Bubo looked at Brother Jue strangely one last time before he silently turned around and left the place.
After the sound of his footsteps faded away, Feng Bujue's lips … curled up into a cold smile.
"This kid … is quite alert, isn't he?" Brother Jue stood up and looked in the direction that the man had left. "Unfortunately … he is still not my match."
At first glance, the events that happened in the past few minutes seemed calm, but in fact … there was an undercurrent.
First of all, the moment he saw Justin Bubo, Brother Jue had seen that … he had just smoked marijuana.
Even though Bubo had only smoked a small amount, his slightly trembling hands and slightly absent-minded eyes could not be hidden.
Based on this situation, Feng Bujue speculated … Bubo had at least found a hiding place of marijuana, and it was very likely that he had not consumed all of the stock. In other words … he still had some marijuana on him.
Therefore, Brother Jue had the idea of "attacking" him.
When Brother Jue said, "So, it's you …", he had already constructed every step of the plan in his mind. How to lure the man over, how to make the man lower his guard, how to knock him out, how to break his legs, and so on …
However, when Bubo came in front of Brother Jue, Brother Jue gave up on the plan of attack. Because he realized … His opponent also wanted to attack him.
As long as he observed calmly, he could see that … Bubo, who appeared to be slightly relaxed on the surface, was actually very alert. From the beginning to the end, he kept a certain distance from Brother Jue, and his right hand was always hidden behind his back. Obviously, there was something hidden behind his back, most likely a knife or something … ready to strike at any time.
Then, the two of them engaged in a casual conversation. Both of them had good acting skills. One of them chewed on maggots and chewed on grass, making it difficult to understand; the other pretended to be helpless, and even used two dry heaves to hide his true intention of keeping a distance from the other.
Not long after, Feng Bujue took the initiative to attack. He asked, "What do you think?" to test the other party.
Bubo continued to play dumb.
Feng Bujue scoffed and waved the military shovel again. He used this expression and action to send a message to the man. "I've seen through you a long time ago. If you want to make a move, I will be prepared."
Then, Brother Jue asked, "What was the hint that you got?" Using that as an excuse, he pointed out something else. "I also know that you've found the marijuana."
...
Now, it needs to be explained. How did this question express the meaning of the latter sentence?
It was like this … While he was talking with Bubo about the taste of maggots, Feng Bujue was also thinking about the corpse behind him.
It was in those few seconds that he understood the meaning of his hint …
In fact, the clue on the male corpse was the "handcuffs". Of course, there was nothing special about the handcuffs, as Feng Bujue had already confirmed. The real function of the handcuffs was symbolic … It symbolized the "arrested person."
This clue, combined with the first hint Brother Jue received, "You have the right to remain silent," pointed to the hiding place of the marijuana — in the mouth of the corpse.
At this point, Feng Bujue's deduction was not over. He boldly made a hypothesis and then came up with a few other possible conclusions.
First, there was a hiding place of marijuana near the starting point of each contestant.
Second, the hiding place was about one kilometer away from the starting point of the contestant.
Third, even though the hiding place was relatively easy to find, the marijuana hidden there was very well hidden.
Fourth, the first "hint" pointed to the marijuana in the hiding place closest to each contestant.
Even though it was impossible to be one hundred percent sure, Feng Bujue believed that the probability of these four scenarios being true was very high.
Objectively speaking, the program team could use this arrangement to allow the contestants to quickly get used to the game and get some marijuana to ease the withdrawal effects for a long time.
If these four scenarios were not true, then it was very likely that "the ten contestants would fall to the ground and struggle not long after the game started." For a reality show, this kind of opening was a bit too ugly …
This was the correlation between the "hint" and the marijuana hiding place.
…
Then, following the previous content, and looking at Bubo's reaction …
After being repeatedly threatened by Feng Bujue, Bubo's expression changed. He hesitated for a moment and gave a response of rejection.
Notice that Bubo said, "I don't think I can give that to you," not "I don't think I can tell you that."
So … on the surface, it sounded like he was saying "hint," but in reality, he was referring to "marijuana."
There was no doubt that at this point, the two of them were already in a state of tacit hostility.
And in this situation, Brother Bujue gave a meaningful response, "After all, this is a competitive show. It's not good to give your 'exclusive' information 'to your opponent."
This sentence was basically declaring the bottom line — "If you don't steal from me, I won't steal from you."
Bubo naturally understood the meaning behind those words. He could only reply, "You're right," as a sign of compromise.
With this, their conversation came to an end. Feng Bujue took the opportunity to say a few words of nonsense and returned to the corpse (where his marijuana was hidden), squatting down and asking, "Why don't … you stand there and wait for me for a while?"
What he meant was … "How long are you going to stay here before you leave?"
Bubo listened to him and tactfully accepted the eviction order. He casually said a few words and left the place.
In conclusion, this … was the truth behind the few minutes of conversation between Feng Bujue and Justin Bubo …
"Ah … the NPCs in this scenario … are so impressive …" Feng Bujue mumbled to himself as he used his hand to pry open the dead body's mouth. "Earlier, Bell has already shown amazing physical prowess, and this Justin Bubo is so cunning … He found the marijuana faster than I did, and after he found it, he did not use it in large quantities due to his addiction. He only used the smallest amount that could alleviate his symptoms. Then he came to the conclusion of the 'four points' that I thought of and stopped moving toward the island. He changed his route to take the circular route, hoping to rob other people of their initial stash of marijuana … Such intelligence, even a player would not be able to … Whoa!"
His thoughts were once again interrupted by the stench. This time, it was the gas that came out from the corpse's mouth.
"What the f * ck …" Feng Bujue could not help but curse under his breath because the stench deducted four percent of his Life Points.
To make things worse, when he finally pried open the corpse's mouth, he realized … the man's upper and lower jaws were sewn together by many iron wires, and the gap between the two rows of teeth could only be separated by a finger's width.
It looked like … the production team was afraid that the dead body's mouth would open on its own or be bitten open by a beast, so they came up with this solution with great foresight.
"Tsk … That's so unprofessional. If they wanted to sew, they should have done it perfectly! Why did they purposely leave a gap to let the stench escape? " Feng Bujue grumbled unhappily. Then he picked up the military shovel and adjusted its structure. The WJQ-308 military shovel could be modified to a certain extent to achieve different effects. He tried to use the military shovel's' clamp 'function to snap the iron wires.
However … it did not go so well because the iron wires that were stuck between the teeth were not that easy to clamp down on …
Therefore, Brother Jue, who had inhaled too much of the stench, switched to the military shovel's' hammer 'function. He smashed the dead body's two rows of teeth and used a more violent method to obtain the marijuana in the corpse's mouth.
Name: Marijuana * 2

Remark: If you do not wish to become an idiot like Randy, it is best if you do not touch it.
The two marijuana cigarettes were placed inside a small plastic bag. There was a layer of wax on the outside, so they were perfectly preserved.
Other than that, Feng Bujue found something else inside the wax …
Name: Handcuff Key
Item Type: Tool
Quality: Normal
Function: Open the handcuffs
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: What? You're asking which handcuffs it can open? Which one could it be? Buddy, are you a Virgo? "
"Perfect." Feng Bujue immediately used the key to open the handcuffs on the dead body. "Perhaps this will come in handy …"
Name: Handcuffs
Item Type: Tool
Quality: Normal
Function: Do as you see fit.
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: Since you have read the item description, it means that you have already obtained the key. "
"Okay … the problem now is …" Brother Jue shoved the few items into his pocket and stood up. "Who should I go and borrow a lighter from?"
He also knew that if there was really no other way, he could just eat the marijuana directly, but right now, his "withdrawal reaction" was in a relatively weak period, so he couldn't wait to use it.
"I should walk for a while first …" Feng Bujue took a deep breath and decided to leave this place to prevent another player with the same mentality as Bu Bo from showing up.
However, what he did not know was that at that moment, a pair of eyes … had been watching him from the dark.
His and Bu Bo's every move earlier had been observed by 'that person'.
