"Hehehe … Why are you here?" In the sky above the arena, a wretched voice sounded.
This man in a black suit and glasses had already arrived at the arena the moment Infinite completed its "evolution". It was just that … No matter if it was players or NPCs, none of them were able to detect his presence.
"To keep an eye on you." Another calm and cold voice replied.
That was also a man in a black suit. He had short brown hair, and his aura was in stark contrast to the wretched guy beside him.
These two "people" appeared in the air as if they had teleported. It was just like the crew of some American TV series (Yes, I'm talking about "Supernatural") in order to save money, they used the method of "when the camera turns, the person is already there" … Silently, suddenly appearing.
As for the identity of these two, I'm sure everyone has already guessed it — Woody and Simon.
"Hehehe … Do you think I will do something strange?" Woody asked with a sinister smile. Under his glasses that were glowing white, there was a chilling aura.
"It's not 'will do' …" Simon continued, "It's' has already done '."
"Hehehe … Are you referring to 'Special Plan F'?" Woody laughed. "That has nothing to do with me. I didn't even write Infinite." He spread out his hands, "Speaking of which … This time I have a whole new level of respect for Ed and Lynk … They actually combined the 'Truth Sequence' and 'Matrix Code' from two different dimensions to create this monster …"
"Don't change the topic." Simon interrupted Woody. "When I say that you 'have already done', I naturally have my reasons." He turned his head and looked straight at Woody. "According to the results of my investigation, the situation is as follows …" His tone was like he was reading a verdict. "After the Tournament for the Best S1 ended … Feng Bujue not only did not eliminate Lute, but he chose to cooperate with him. This action … was beyond your calculations. So, you went to ZERO and used one of your preset 'language keys' to trigger a set of 'treatment plans' (see Chapter 460 – Emergency Maintenance). " He paused for a moment. "Following that, ZERO, who received the command, sacrificed a portion of her power as the price to forcefully infiltrate the 'Spacetime Data Transmission Layer.' She found the incomplete Imfinite and implanted 'Special Plan F' into it."
Hearing Simon's words, Woody's expression was still calm. That wretched smile of his became even more pronounced.
"On the surface, it looks like you just went to a special Anomaly to say a few words without any actual content," Simon said. "But in reality …"
"Actually … that has nothing to do with me." Woody interrupted, "Hehehe … I don't know of any pre-set 'treatment plan'. Everything that ZERO had done had never come out of my mouth. So … what you said is just your own conjecture. " He used his middle finger to push up his glasses. "As a judge, isn't it a bit inappropriate to make a judgment based on conjecture?"
"Humph … Vincent is not wrong." Simon scoffed. "Without concrete evidence, you will definitely try to deny it to the end."
"Hehehe … that * sshole … sure knows how to talk too much …" Woody laughed. "In various ways …"
"Even if he didn't say it, I have already thought of it …" Simon said. "I believe … when the 'first era' of Thriller Paradise was destroyed, you have already secretly buried many things that could be used in the future. These things can help you turn the situation around when the ending of some key events goes out of control. And the method to activate them could be 'a sentence', 'an event', or 'the arrival of a certain point in time'. "
"Hehehe … That does sound like it is true." Woody's tone was still light. "But I will not admit that that is the truth …" He scratched the back of his neck. "Assuming … please note, this is just an 'assumption' … what if what you said is true?" He replied fearlessly, "There are only two ways to prove that I have used the above method to guide the development of the gambling game … The first is to force me to confess, which is obviously impossible. The second is to lock onto a 'preset plan' that I have yet to activate, and then break apart the program that carries this plan, crush it, and thoroughly analyze it … Hehehe … Not to mention that there are countless programs in this game, even if you have an exact target, it is most likely an extremely crucial set of data. If you carry out such a destructive examination on it, I'm afraid … it will have an irreversible and huge impact on the direction of the entire gambling game."
"In other words …" Simon looked at Woody with condescension. "This game that you have set up, as the judge, I will not be able to get anything on you."
"Hehehe … I will still say the same thing. I did not do anything, and I have no idea what you are talking about." Woody answered this question very well. Even if he lost the bet, he didn't want to "break the rules" (at least, he couldn't be caught in the open), because the result of breaking the rules was that he would be killed directly by Simon.
"Ha …" Simon sneered and asked, "Do you think that I can't do anything to you just like that?"
"At least you don't have a clear motive to kill me," Woody said. "That is enough."
"'Enough' … is it?" Simon continued. "Then as the judge, I will interfere with the target that you have bet on within the scope of my authority. You have nothing to say, right?"
"Hehehe … So you are not here to 'monitor me'." Woody shrugged. "You are here to make an example out of me …"
"Make an example out of me?" Simon glared at Woody. "Who do you think you are dealing with? Is someone a rebellious teenager? "
Hearing that, Woody knew that his' baiting 'had been seen through. He said helplessly, "Tsk … I've been seen through."
"Of course," Simon said. Simon continued. "I know very well that 'Special Plan F' appears to be a layer of insurance to protect Feng Bujue, but it is actually Yin Finite's protective umbrella." He paused. "This plan can effectively prevent Yin Finite from having a direct confrontation with Feng Bujue before they complete all the evolution missions and reduce their contact." He crossed his arms before his chest and said, "So far, every Anomaly that has been defeated by Feng Bujue has made the same mistake … and that is to underestimate this human's ability. If they were to face Feng Bujue too early, the result would usually be failure. And Special Plan F allows Yin Finite, an existence that has the potential to reach 'infinity' … to avoid this risk. Since he is unable to fight Feng Bujue and is unable to match him in terms of information, Yin Finite will naturally stay away from Feng Bujue. That way, until he completes his final evolution and removes the plan on his own, he will be relatively safe. "
At this point, Simon glanced at Woody from the corner of his eyes. "The reason you arranged for the players to enter this scenario is not to let them witness the birth of 'infinity' but to let Yin Finite see … the biggest 'threat' that he will encounter in the future. That way … when it comes to Tournament for the Best S2, he will be able to carry out your plan with more ease. "
Clap clap clap clap!
Woody clapped for Simon. "Hehehe … You have seen through everything. Even though that Special Plan F has nothing to do with me, I can't help but want to cheer for you."
"Humph …" Simon turned his head away. "For 'another game' outside of the bet, to scheme against the target that you have placed your bet on … is it really worth it?"
Woody's expression shifted slightly and he asked in return, "Is it … not worth it?"
Simon did not continue the conversation. Both of them already had the answer in their hearts.
"Now that things have come to this …" Several seconds later, Simon spoke again. "I can only …" He shook his head. "… I can't believe I am saying something like this …" As he spoke, a ball of dark energy with hints of red gathered in his hand. "… I can only improve Feng Bujue's ability to close the gap that your 'scheme' might bring in the future."
Before he finished, he flipped his palm and a condensed magic energy rushed toward the training platform, heading straight for Feng Bujue's body.
The next second, Brother Jue, who knew nothing about this, felt a heat on his back, and his body could not move.
Speaking of which, it was really a coincidence …
At this moment, Brother Jue and Ruo Yu were both in their stances, ready to attack. How could Feng Bujue's obvious stiffness escape Ruo Yu's eyes? The latter immediately raised her sword and attacked!
"What's going on?" Feng Bujue was shocked. "The data on her body did not react at all. Why can't I move all of a sudden?" His thoughts flashed and he glanced around. "Could it be Lu Bu?"
This was obviously impossible … Lu Fengxian was standing at the other end of the arena, more than two hundred meters away, pondering over the previous unforeseen events with an inexplicable expression.
"Or …" Feng Bujue was still thinking. "Flowers is already close to us, but I did not notice?"
At this point, it was useless for him to think about anything. He could not move … he just could not move.
The power given by Simon, whether from the data level of the game world or the spiritual level of the real world, was not something that Feng Bujue could digest in a short period of time. It was like pouring a high-concentration chemical solution into the paper package of a soft drink — too much of a difference, and it would become a burden.
On the other side … Ruo Yu did not know what happened to Brother Jue. She just used the [Secret Method of Rapid Light – White Rose] as a probing attack at the beginning of the battle.
She did not expect that … this attack would determine the winner.
Chi —
Blood splattered, and a head flew off.
[Player, Feng Bujue, has died.]
Even Ruo Yu herself looked back in disbelief. In the next ten seconds, she still did not let down her guard … as if she was worried that what she saw in front of her was an illusion, and that the system prompt in her ears was imitated by Feng Bujue using the Deception Pocket Watch.
A full minute later, she finally realized what was going on and said in bewilderment, "I … won?"
