"What!"
"What?"
"What …"
At this moment.
Hirata-kun broke out in a cold sweat.
Bunny Mei-chan's gaze sharpened.
Aiko The Penguin's gums were all exposed.
"Huff, huff, huff, huff ~ You've all worked hard." The vulgar voice that came from beyond the sky was, without a doubt, Xiong Ji's voice. "Leave the rest … to me."
"How is this possible …" Hirata lifted his head to look at the sky. "How did you gain the ability to interfere with my territory?"
"Huff, huff …" Xiong Ji chuckled. "What's so impossible about that …" He paused, and his tone changed slightly. "I am an existence that is' higher 'than you to begin with. My knowledge and abilities … are far beyond your imagination."
"Nonsense!" Hirata replied. "Other than Makiko Mitsui, the magician in Hiwa's Doomsday Saga, he is actually a superhuman. He only needed to use a little bit of his power to successfully stop the apocalypse from happening. "Mr. Hirata, there is no one in this world who is more powerful than me …"
"There is someone who is more powerful than you?" Feng Bujue interrupted Hirata and chuckled. "Hah … isn't your confidence a little too arbitrary?"
"Huff, huff, huff, huff ~ You're right." At that moment, a giant, half-transparent smiling face appeared in the sky. "Earlier … when that guy explained the 'paradox' to you, you should have understood …"
"As a character who is not particularly good at making fun of others …" Feng Bujue continued Xiong Ji's words and chuckled. "… your ability is incomparable to Xiong Ji's."
"What ability?" Aiko The Penguin was confused. "Xiong Ji Kun is set to be a maniac with a worrisome IQ. I've never heard of him having any other ability …"
"Of course you haven't heard of it." Feng Bujue interrupted Aiko The Penguin again. "The mistake you made is actually no different from mine …" He looked up at the bear face in the sky. "You think you understand the setting of this world very well, you think you are better than others … but in reality, those who are really 'high' have already seen through everything … and made the opposite choice."
"What are you talking about?" Tu Mei asked. "I don't understand."
A second later, Xiao Tan added, "Yeah … Brother Jue, I don't know either."
Feng Bujue shrugged and replied, "Let Xiong Ji explain it to you."
Before he could finish, Xiong Ji let out another burst of laughter. A few seconds later, the huge face in the sky disappeared, and Xiong Ji's figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"The truth might be hard for you to accept, but …" After Xiong Ji appeared, he said directly, "The highest existences in this world are actually Banana Muli and Prince."
Even Xiao Tan could not accept this explanation, much less Hirata and the rest. He exclaimed in shock, "What!"
"This is ridiculous …" Tu Mei commented immediately.
"You don't understand? Tu Mei Chan. " Xiong Ji turned to Tu Mei and continued, "What if I told you … before Hirata was created, Banana Muli and Prince already knew that they were characters from the manga?"
"Just based on those two idiots?" Hirata obviously did not believe that either.
However, Aiko The Penguin appeared calmer. After thinking about it for a few seconds, he said to Xiong Ji, "If what you said is true, then here comes the problem …"
Of course, he would not ask Xiong Ji where he should learn how to operate an excavator. There was no need to look forward to it.
"Since they've already seen through everything, why are they still behaving so crazily and foolishly?" the penguin assistant asked.
"That is the difference between them and you," Xiong Ji replied. "Oh … no, it should be the difference between 'us' and you."
"To put it simply …" Feng Bujue interjected. "It is because Xiong Ji and the rest can see further and more clearly than you … that they choose to accept the status quo."
"I don't understand …" Tu Mei's gaze turned from sharp to confused.
"Me too …" Aiko The Penguin had the same expression.
"Humph … I get it." Hirata chuckled mirthlessly. "You bunch … are willing to be trapped by the dimension. You don't have the courage to fight against fate. That's all there is to it …" He looked at Xiong Ji condescendingly. "Listen carefully to what I'm about to say, Xiong Ji. If possible, you can pass on my message to Jao-san, Prince, and other people like you … "His expression was serious." If a sane person pretends to be an idiot for the rest of his life, then he is an idiot. In the eyes of others, he is no different from an idiot. "
At this point, he even spat disdainfully. "You are willing to be a clown for others' amusement, and that is your freedom. But we …" He waved his hand at Bunny Beauty and Penguin Helper. "… after knowing the situation we are in, we can't live with a clear conscience like you and live as if nothing has happened."
Then, he turned around to face the players again. It appeared like he did not want to say anything to Xiong Ji anymore because he had said everything he wanted to say.
But …
"Idiot!" A loud shout was heard, and a strong shadow appeared.
In a flash, Xiong Ji leaped forward like a dragon leaping out from the abyss. A bear's paw landed on Hirata's face.
"Pfft …" Hirata was slapped so hard that saliva dripped out of his mouth, and his whole body was sent flying. He did not expect … in this' Hirata's world ', there would be a human (bear) who could injure him.
"You …" After falling to the ground, Hirata quickly sat up and glared angrily at Xiong Ji.
Xiong Ji, on the other hand, met the man's gaze fearlessly and stepped closer. "I have something to tell you as well, Hirata Heino. Listen to me carefully …"
Even though his appearance and voice had not changed, Xiong Ji's presence at that moment … made him look like a completely different bear from before.
"That's right, you are a character from a comic. From the moment you were created, you were destined to be a clown …" Xiong Ji looked down at Hirata on the ground. "In your laughably short life … the enemies, lovers, masters, and demons that appeared before you were all full of flaws. In your life story … there were no ties that you couldn't let go of, no unforgettable love, no kindness that was passed down to you, and no hot-blooded battles … There was only a plot where you would complain about everything that appeared before you. " He was repeating Hirata's earlier monologue, but the meaning was completely different. "But … don't you think that is enough?" At this point, Xiong Ji's eyes narrowed. "As a character from a comic, what do you think the value of your life lies in? What is the purpose of your existence? "
"Isn't it just to provide entertainment?!" Hirata roared.
"As long as you understand …" Xiong Ji added in a low voice. The next second, he suddenly roared, "Then go complain to your heart's content!" As he roared, Xiong Ji delivered another punch and sent Hirata flying several meters away.
"B * stard … I didn't expect him to be so powerful …" After Hirata landed on the ground, he wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and propped himself up again.
"You don't have a painful past, you don't have a prominent background, you don't have a unique personality, and you don't have big dreams …" Xiong Ji continued. "Those rich settings do not belong to you … because you were not born to be that kind of character." He paused for half a second and continued. "What you have is just a few pages, a few minutes … You have to use that limited space to realize the value of your life."
"Phew …" Xiong Ji let out a long sigh and continued. "Perhaps … characters like us from the comic will never be remembered by people, and no one will care about our feelings …" He turned to Hirata with a passionate gaze. "But … Let's not forget this! That's fine … Even if we can't make people cry, there is still one thing we can do … and that is to bring people laughter. "
At that moment, Feng Bujue spoke again. He continued Xiong Ji's words. "It's not embarrassing to be a clown. In this dimension … be it clown, hero, demon, or saint … they are all the same. Playing your role well is the most powerful response to the 'higher dimension.' Banana Mulberry and Crown Prince … saw through this, so they made the corresponding choice. "
"I …" The color on Hirata's body faded again. "I refuse to accept this!" Pain appeared on his face, and he screamed for the second time.
"I … cannot accept this either," Aiko The Penguin said.
Only Tu Mei remained silent.
"I don't need you to accept it either." Xiong Ji said. "I told you when I first arrived … Leave the rest to me."
Before he could finish his sentence, the space everyone was in began to distort …
"Brother Jue …" Wang Tanzhi turned to Feng Bujue. "This is …"
"Don't panic," Feng Bujue replied calmly. "After all, there's no point in panicking. There's nothing we can do."
About ten seconds later, Hirata, Tu Mei, and Aiko The Penguin disappeared one after another … and the twisted scenery around them returned to normal.
"This isn't the first time, right?" Brother Jue looked at Xiong Ji.
"Ah …" Xiong Ji replied. "I don't even know how many times this has happened."
"Huh?" Xiao Tan looked at them with widened eyes. "What do you mean?"
"Huff, huff, huff … You still don't get it?" Xiong Ji replied with a smile. "Just now, I 'reset' the three of them."
"Reset?" Xiao Tan repeated. "So, the people in this world can be reset?"
"Of course." Feng Bujue said. "And this happens every day …" He immediately gave an example. "Why do you think … after being arrested for committing a crime here, they would be released so quickly?"
"Huh? Is that the reason? "Xiao Tan said with realization.
"As the higher existence in this world, Banana San, Prince, and the rest … all have the ability to reset the memories of other characters," Xiong Ji said. "Or else … this world would have collapsed a long time ago."
"Oh …" Xiao Tan nodded. "In other words … you've dealt with situations like Hirata, Tu Mei, and Aiko The Penguin many times?"
"Yes." Xiong Ji replied. As he spoke, he looked at Feng Bujue. "Speaking of which … how did you know … this isn't the first time I've reset them?"
"After Aiko The Penguin and the rest revealed their identities and plans, I reconsidered everything I've experienced since coming to this world …" Feng Bujue said. "Then, I figured out some of the doubts that had been troubling me." He laughed bitterly and said to Xiong Ji, "Heh … Of course, it was already too late to figure out the problem. As a 'player,' I've already failed this game … If you hadn't appeared in time, I might have lost more than just the game … "
"Huh?" Xiao Tan looked at his Brother Bujue. "What have you figured out? I've heard the whole plan from them, but how come I couldn't figure out anything? "
"The moment Hirata-kun appeared, I immediately thought of something …" Feng Bujue explained. "The creatures in this universe should have the trigger for 'extra-dimensional consciousness'. With that in mind … the other characters might have realized that they were characters from the manga. " He paused. "Therefore, I filtered through all the characters that I've met in the scenario in my mind, and I felt like … many of them were suspicious." He pointed at Xiong Ji. "And among them, Xiong Ji was the most suspicious."
"Phew, phew, phew … That's very sharp," Xiong Ji said with a smile.
"No … on this matter, I feel like I'm already very slow," Feng Bujue said. "The hint was there a long time ago, but I didn't expect …"
"Hint?" Xiao Tan was still confused. "Is there such a thing?"
"It's Xiong Ji's' hatred level 'toward us," Feng Bujue answered.
"That was the hint?" Xiao Tan asked.
"Yes, that was the most crucial hint, and it was given directly by the system …" Feng Bujue answered. "Before coming here, I couldn't understand … why would Xiong Ji Kun's hatred level increase after we helped him get away with his crime?" "I've considered the possibility … that he has a penchant for being arrested, or that he has a double Xiong personality, or that he wants to satisfy Tu Mei's desire to call the police …" He laughed drily. "Humph … In the end, I realized that he just didn't want us to ruin the plot of the manga …" He looked at Xiong Ji. "Now that I thought about it, it finally dawned on me … Xiong Ji is the real character who sees this manga world and his own existence from a higher perspective. He is far more 'superior' than Aiko The Penguin, Tu Mei, and even Hirata."
"Not bad, Mr. Player." Xiong Ji said, "Unfortunately, we are not in the same dimension, or else … I would really like to have a proper competition with you."
"Same here, same here …" Feng Bujue said, "You famous detectives from this dimension have really opened my eyes."
"Wait a minute …" At that moment, Xiao Tan seemed to have thought of something. "There's something else that's not right …" He looked at Xiong Ji. "Since you have such a high hatred level toward us, why did you come to help us?"
"It's very simple." Xiong Ji smiled. "Hasn't your mission been completed?"
"Main mission completed." The system announcement followed Xiong Ji Kun's words.
"You even know about our mission?" Xiao Tan gasped in shock.
"Of course I do." Xiong Ji said, "It's because you guys are about to leave that I came to help you. What if it turns into a thirty-four chapter chapter or something? How difficult would that be?"
"Ha …" Feng Bujue said, "No matter what, I have to thank you."
"Yes … Looks like I've been misunderstanding you …" Xiao Tan added, "I thought you were just a pervert …"
"Huhuhuhu ~" Xiong Ji laughed wretchedly again. "I've said it before, I'm not a pervert … Even if I am … I'm a gentleman with the title of pervert!"
