After leaving the hiding spot, Feng Bujue immediately walked in the direction that Bu Bo had left.
He did not intend to follow the man, but he wanted to find out where Bu Bo had gone before he continued his exploration.
It did not take long for him to discover a few flattened grass, a few broken branches, and a few inconspicuous footprints.
"Not so simple …" Feng Bujue looked at the footprints and mumbled, "He even managed to come up with the idea of anti-stalking …"
Obviously, Bu Bo had purposely created these 'footprints' to confuse a potential stalker.
"Furthermore, the completion rate of this disguise is quite high … If not for my close observation, even I might have been tricked by him …" Brother Jue thought to himself. "Hmm … if all the NPCs in this scenario are as smart as he is, then I'm afraid I'll be in deep trouble …"
Just as he was thinking, suddenly …
"Don't be fooled by the illusion before you." A man's voice came from not far behind Brother Jue. "He did not move in the direction of the footprints …"
"Who's there?" Feng Bujue heard the voice, and his face tensed. He turned around to follow the voice, and his grip on the military shovel tightened.
At that moment, Brother Jue had lost his superhuman senses, so he was unable to sense the people who were silently approaching him. This change caused him, who had always been cautious, to feel a trace of uneasiness … and this uneasiness caused him to become very aggressive.
"Calm down, Stephen, it's me." The speaker appeared in Brother Jue's sight. He was contestant number six, Bellak Hussein Ao Guanhai.
"I'm very calm." Feng Bujue did use a very calm tone to communicate with the man. "Raising the military shovel like I'm going to chop you down doesn't mean that I've lost my cool."
"Haha …" Ao Guanhai laughed. He did not approach recklessly but maintained a distance of three meters. With a smile, he continued, "Is this how you normally greet people?"
"Humph …" Feng Bujue snorted coldly. "This is how I usually greet those guys who are trying to sneak up on me from behind."
Hearing this, Ao Guanhai's expression instantly changed. However, he quickly covered up the change in his expression with a raised eyebrow expression. Then, he smiled and said, "Haha … I'm sorry, Stephen, I didn't even realize that I was' quietly 'approaching you." As he spoke, he even raised his hands to make quotation marks. "At least from my point of view, I walked over very normally and kindly reminded you …"
"I have no idea when you started following me …" Feng Bujue interrupted him. "But that 'reminder' that you gave me proved that … when I was communicating with Bu Bo, you were already observing us from the dark."
Silence descended …
At this moment, the atmosphere between the two was very subtle. It was as if swords were drawn and bows were drawn, but there was also a hidden opportunity.
"Hmph …" Ten seconds later, Ao Guanhai smiled again, "Stephen, I didn't misjudge you."
Feng Bujue stared at Ao Guanhai and didn't answer. He knew that the former president wasn't finished yet.
"There is no doubt about your talent." Ao Guanhai continued, "Cooperate with me, Stephen, you won't regret it."
"Cooperate?" Brother Bujue looked straight into Ao Guanhai's eyes and repeated this key word.
"Yes, cooperate." Ao Guanhai replied, "If it's you, you should be able to understand …" He paused for a moment, "In this game, even if it's just using each other … Cooperating with many people is far more advantageous than acting alone."
"Haha … After all, you're someone who plays politics. I'm afraid that this kind of love for cliques has already seeped into your bones …" Feng Bujue said, "But … this kind of person does have their own strengths. Politicians are good at scheming, diplomacy, and acting … Their shrewdness is even better than Bu Bo's. "
"You mean … you're ready to temporarily establish a mutually using relationship with me?" Feng Bujue continued.
This kind of question that he already knew the answer would allow Ao Guanhai to say more and at the same time, buy himself more time to think.
"Haha … I told you, Stephen, I'm more inclined to use the term 'cooperation'." Ao Guanhai's answer was as smooth as a politician's. "Think about it, if you and I cooperate, do you think the others will have a chance of winning? From how I see it … we only need fifty … no, forty-five hours! In just two days, we'll be able to eliminate all eight of them. "
"Eliminate?" When Feng Bujue heard this, he was confused. "What does he mean? What does he mean by 'eliminate'? Is he referring to ambushing the other players to incapacitate them? Or … is there some other method? "
Since the introductory introduction did not explain the complete rules of Man Seeking Poison, Feng Bujue was at a great disadvantage from the beginning. To his dismay, he could not ask anyone about this because the NPCs in this scenario were all highly intelligent. If Feng Bujue exposed the fact that he did not know the complete rules of the game, who knew what kind of trap he would be in?
"You make it sound so serious … but do you have a specific plan in mind?" After several seconds of internal struggle, Brother Bujue came up with a question that would not expose himself and would allow him to continue asking.
"Of course," Ao Guanhai replied. "But for now, I cannot tell you."
"Why not?" Feng Bujue asked again.
"Hahaha … That's enough, Stephen." Ao Guanhai laughed. "Stop joking around with such a serious face." He raised his right hand and extended two fingers. "First, you will not associate yourself with an idiot who will reveal his plan without any guarantee. Second, the best way to deal with such an idiot is to pretend to cooperate with him and then find a chance to kill him …"
He was right. In such a situation, those who refused to reveal their plan were the ones who were worth cooperating with.
"Humph …" Feng Bujue also laughed, and then he laughed. "Haha … Hahaha …" He laughed like a mental patient, making it hard for the other party to read his thoughts.
After a few seconds of laughter, Brother Bujue suddenly stopped and put on a serious expression. "Looks like you and I share some common interests."
Without a doubt, Feng Bujue was playing a little trick on him … It was as if he was saying, "My reaction earlier was to test you, just like how your first sentence was to test me."
"Hmm …" Ao Guanhai's expression turned serious as well. He loosened his collar. He had already removed his suit and tie, and he was wearing a shirt. "So … you agree?"
"Fifty hours." Before the party who proposed the cooperation had even set the rules, Brother Bujue took the initiative and said, "From now on, I will be on the same side as you for fifty hours …" He licked his lips. "As for after fifty hours … whether or not we have successfully eliminated the other eight people as you said, our cooperation will end at that time."
"No problem." Ao Guanhai nodded. "That's exactly what I want."
"Haha … Very good, 'partner'." When Feng Bujue said the last two words, he deliberately used a slightly sarcastic tone. "I hope your execution is enough to keep up with your plan."
Ao Guanhai heard this and grinned, revealing two rows of big white teeth. "Yes, we can!"
