"To put it simply …" Aiko The Penguin continued. "The highly intelligent creatures in our universe have the ability to 'detect creatures from a higher dimension'."
Tu Mei added, "And Hirata-kun … is the first person to do that."
"Going from 1 to 2 is easy, but going from 0 to 1 is as hard as climbing the heavens." Aiko The Penguin continued. "All of us are grateful to Hirata-kun. It was him who helped us understand …" He looked at Brother Jue and Xiao Tan. "That there is still the existence of 'you' in our world."
"Is that so …" Feng Bujue answered. "But … why would you … refer to us as' players'?"
When he asked that question, Wang Tanzhi realized something. "That's right … even if they know they are characters from a comic, why would they refer to us as' players'? Based on normal logic, shouldn't they refer to us as' readers' or 'viewers'? If they refer to us as' players', then it means … "
"Because …" Shuichi answered Feng Bujue's question. "Other than the 'higher dimension', we have discovered a 'parallel dimension' that is similar to ours."
"It was a connected game called Thriller Paradise that sent you here, right?" Aiko The Penguin added. "There is no need to look so surprised …" Naturally, that was directed at Xiao Tan. "Before you, we have run into other 'players', and there is more than one group …"
Hearing that, the last doubt in Brother Jue's heart was answered, and his expression relaxed.
"Compared to you, those people's actions were rather rash, but it was not that hard to get information from them." Aiko The Penguin continued. "The difficult part was … due to the difference in dimension, we needed to use a long time to identify you."
"Other than that …" Tu Mei added, "Even if we locked onto the target, we could not be one hundred percent sure that the target was a creature from a higher dimension. This is because there are many people like Xiong Ji in our world … people with low IQ and EQ. When they do something out of the ordinary, it is hard to tell whether they are being controlled or they are just fooling around. "
"Brother Jue …" At that moment, Xiao Tan lowered his voice to whisper to Feng Bujue, "Something is not right … It looks like we cannot hide this any longer."
"Why are you panicking …" Feng Bujue also lowered his voice and replied in a voice that only Xiao Tan could hear, "Has the system notified you that you have failed the main mission?"
"Not yet …" Xiao Tan.
"Then that's it," Brother Jue replied calmly, "Don't worry, let's wait for them to finish …"
After the two whispered to each other, Feng Bujue raised his voice again and asked, "So … where were we?" He asked hypocritically and took the opportunity to bring the topic back, "Oh, right … That 'stalker letter' was your first test, right? How did it go? "
"It was very successful." Tu Mei replied, "According to my observation, you …" He looked at Brother Jue, "… are a very smart and eloquent person, and you have a considerable understanding of our world. If there is an obvious weakness, it would be … You think too highly of yourself, or even narcissism. "
"Holy sh * t … The famous detectives are so good! Their observation and analysis are so accurate! " As Xiao Tan listened, he complained in his heart, "I am a Dr., but I suddenly feel like my IQ is not enough to deal with you guys!"
"I think that to deal with people like you, it is indeed quite difficult to play a direct game." Tu Mei continued, "But … retreating in order to advance should work wonders."
Aiko The Penguin continued, "Therefore, regarding the outcome of the 'stalker letter' incident, Tu Mei hesitated a little … and chose to compromise."
…
"I understand … It seems that you are not just a simple peeping tom and violent man. The famous detective Mao Tarō from Beast Elementary School really lives up to his reputation."
…
At this moment, Tu Mei's response clearly flashed in Feng Bujue's mind.
He had to admit that retreating in order to advance was indeed the best way to deal with Brother Jue. Tu Mei's compromise made Brother Jue ignore many of the strange details …
"So, I gave up on calling the police." Tu Mei continued, "I wanted to see your reaction." She paused and looked at Brother Jue, "But … Your personality has changed significantly."
"Oh?" Feng Bujue asked, "What do you mean?"
"Mr. Player …" Tu Mei's eyes changed slightly, "Mao Tarō, who is no longer under your control, speaks and speaks very differently from you." She pointed at Xiao Tan, "This is not obvious with Sun Tarō." She then pointed at Brother Jue, "But you … You are a very unique person, Mr. Player. If the main attributes of a character in a gag comic are categorized into 'playing dumb' and 'roasting' … you don't belong to either of them. "
Hirata added, "When you defended Xiong Ji, you used the perspective of a higher dimensional creature to substitute for the virtual character. Then, you used the 'logic and way of speaking in our world' that you speculated to solve the problem before you."
"Even though on the surface, there doesn't seem to be any flaws …" Aiko The Penguin added.
"But … there is still a sense of unnaturalness." Tu Mei said, "If you want to pinpoint where the problem lies, I'm afraid … your mind will inadvertently switch between 'playing dumb' and 'roasting'."
The three of them chimed in and answered Brother Jue's question with great chemistry.
"So, that's how it is …" Feng Bujue was still as calm as ever. "On the basis of the 'success' of the first test, you planned the 'death of the penguin helper', right?"
"That's right." Aiko The Penguin replied, "After the first test, we gathered all the information we gathered and discussed it. We established a certain degree of friendship with the real Mao Tarō and Sun Tarō, and we deepened our understanding … Then, we came up with a hypothesis … "
Tu Mei continued, "When Xiong Ji did something that could lead to arrest and was about to walk into the trap, 'you' (obviously, the 'you' here refers to the players) … would appear."
Aiko The Penguin continued, "To test this hypothesis, Tu Mei, Yuichi, and I used some props that we borrowed from the drama club to put on a show in front of you."
"To think I've been feeling guilty for so long …" Xiao Tan heard that and grumbled gloomily, "So, that monkey is involved as well …"
"Wait a minute …" Suddenly, Feng Bujue interrupted the man's narration. "This show … didn't you discuss it with Xiong Ji beforehand?"
