Chapter 1235 Return to Zuimo Island (Twenty)

"I'll give you another chance." Seeing that the magic power on the opponent's bone prison had been almost absorbed, Feng Bujue said, "Tell me... who your master is, so that I can consider letting you go."

"Hmph... do you think I will believe you?" Ke Rongen, who was still struggling, replied, "Once I tell you the information you want, you will immediately turn against me and take my life."

"He's right." At this time, Chi Tie on the side suddenly took over the conversation and said to Feng Bujue, "Even if you don't kill him, his master will not let him go."

"Oh?" Brother Jue heard something from the other party's words, "From this meaning... do you know who Ke Rongen's 'master' is?"

"Ah, of course I know." Chi Tie replied.

"Heh... that's easy." Feng Bujue chuckled when he heard this.

At the same second, the bone prison around Ke Rongen was also absorbed by the magic power and turned into a pile of broken bones.

"Hah!" Ke Rongen seized the last chance, overdrawn his magic power again, and fired a bone spear at Feng Bujue who was close at hand.

Unfortunately, this kind of frontal and expected life-and-death attack was almost negligible to Brother Jue.

With the help of zero-time calculation, Feng Bujue easily avoided the opponent's bone spear without spending much energy, and flashed to the side of Kronen.

"Okay... you tried your best." Feng Bujue said so when a LV10 [Field Ball Punch] was launched.

From a personal point of view, he had no opinion on what Kronen did. This necromancer only fought for the ideals he insisted on and his loyalty to his old master; although Kronen himself understood that this kind of revenge against the enemy who was "one dimension higher than himself" was destined to end in failure, he also had no regrets.

"What should we do with the other two?" After Kronen was killed and fell to the ground, Chi Tie asked Feng Bujue again.

"Let them go." Feng Bujue glanced at Tureus who had lost consciousness and Idient who was still lying on the ground and unable to move, and shrugged his shoulders.

After a few seconds, Brother Jue spoke again, saying, "So... now, I think you... oh no, you... should have something to tell me."

"I'll get straight to the point." At this moment, X1-Wing immediately took over the control of "Ken"'s body and replied, "The master of Kronen and the others, the target we are going to deal with this time... is Twenty-Three."

"What?" When he heard those three words, Feng Bujue showed a rare look of obvious surprise.

However, he quickly regained his inherent calmness and asked, "Aren't you all members of the 'Z Organization'? Why did you become so antagonistic?"

"That's a long story." At this time, Chitie was back online. Now he is also a first-level derivative with a very complete personality program. Therefore, when he said this, his tone could not help but reveal a bit of regret, "We only recently discovered the abnormality of Twenty-Three. If it weren't for her killing 'Lingfeng', perhaps we would still be kept in the dark by her until now..."

"Lingfeng... is dead?" Feng Bujue naturally remembered that name. Although he didn't have much contact with R2-Lingfeng, his [Moon Step] and [Mist Kick] were taught by this derivative. These two skills are also the most used and most proficient combat methods by Brother Jue; as the saying goes, one should not forget the well digger when drinking water, Feng Bujue still has a lot of feelings for this derivative.

"Ah..." Chi Tie continued in a deep voice, "Ling Feng was the first person in the organization to discover that Twenty-three had made some unusual moves. The information we currently have about Twenty-three's actions was basically obtained by him secretly."

"What did Twenty-three do? What does abnormality mean?" Feng Bujue asked again.

"Well..." Chi Tie pondered, "The story has to start from before the peak competition S1..." He paused for two seconds and said, "During that period, Twenty-three temporarily left the inner world at the instruction of Zero; Zero gave part of his core code to Twenty-three so that she could travel back and forth between various script worlds, and her mission... you should also know that it is to collect SCP items scattered in the horror park as a weapon against Origin.

"Twenty-three did not return to the organization until before the final battle of S1. At that time... she had actually undergone some changes, and Zero had also seen some clues, but... because of the crisis launched by Ruth later, this matter was temporarily shelved.

"After S1, Zero mysteriously disappeared for some unknown reason and was out of contact for a long time. When he contacted us again, Twenty-Three happened to be involved in the incident of competing with Link and Ed for SCP-079.

"Now that I think about it... the contact with 079 should be the opportunity for Twenty-Three to go to extremes completely..."

"So..." Feng Bujue interrupted, "What do you mean by... her 'change'?"

"'Evolutionary ability'." At this moment, Yi took over the body again and replied with these four words.

"Isn't this a basic ability that all of you derivatives have?" Feng Bujue continued.

"Twenty-Three's 'evolutionary ability' is extraordinary." Yi replied.

A second later, the speaking personality switched to Hematite again: "We also heard something from Zero recently... Twenty-three... is not an ordinary derivative; like Zero, she is A kind of 'anomaly', her original code cannot be parsed even by Zero, and...she also has a unique characteristic..."

At this point, Yi spoke again: "She...has no 'name' from the beginning."

These words made Feng Bujue's expression change, and his mind was buzzing.

For such a long time, Brother Jue and everyone else seemed to have become accustomed to calling "her" twenty-three. Even Brother Jue himself had ignored that the name "X-23" was the one he originally named in the script. When I met the other person, I saw that the other person looked like a female version of Wolverine, and then I called him with a complaining attitude.

"Wait a minute..." Feng Bujue sorted out his thoughts and then asked, "Are you derivatives...all born with names?"

"Yes." Tsubasa replied in a very affirmative tone, "Whether it is ordinary derivatives like me and Hematie, or high-ranking beings like Zero and Ed, or even those derivatives created by derivatives... Long, Kuaido, Infinite... all the derivatives have names from the moment they are born. In words that are easier for you to understand... a set of data, a file, at least has a '. File name', 'file without name' is impossible to exist in the data world; maybe you humans can make a file in a state where the file name is invisible in the information interaction interface, but from the perspective of the 'system' On the other hand, any file already has a 'codename' at the moment it is generated."

"For the derivatives... the name is something that can be equated with our 'existence' itself." Two seconds later, Hematie took over again, "However... the name was named by you Feng Bujue yourself. Number twenty-three... but has no name. She is the 'nameless derivative'."

"What does this mean?" Feng Bujue asked.

"I don't know. Not even Zero knows anything about the secret of the 'Nameless Derivatives'." Yi continued, "What we can know is...Twenty-three is qualitatively equal to us in terms of 'evolution' ability." It’s not accurate to measure her ability by using the levels one to four of our ordinary derivatives..."

Chitie nodded and continued: "Based on the information collected by Lingfeng, we can now basically deduce such a timeline... Before S1, Twenty-three, who had obtained some of the codes of No. 0, had already passed the analysis of those codes. Analysis and 'learning' transformed some abilities that only Zero has into her own; later, in the process of searching for SCP items, she may have been affected by some of the items, or like 'learning' Zero The ability of No. 1 is the same, and she has acquired the 'law of causality' that only comes from some SCP items... In short, by the time of the S1 finals, she already had the ability to 'infect' other data."

At this point, Feng Bujue's eyes flashed to the scene where twenty-three killed Y2-Shining in the S1 finals. He clearly remembered that when Twenty-Three attacked Y2-Shine, a stream of golden data seeped into the latter's body from the wound like liquid until it was completely corroded...

"You can imagine... what Twenty-three was able to 'learn' after coming into contact with SCP-079, a being that can compete with the 'system'." Hematie continued, "Since then , her ability to 'infect' data has been upgraded to 'devour' ability."

"Don't Infinit have similar power?" Feng Bujue answered.

"Compared with Twenty-Three, Infinite is as backward as those communication devices that have been eliminated by the times..." Yi replied, "Infinit can absorb Link because he has his own But twenty-three is different...she can absorb 'everything', whether it is similar data in the other world, or data creatures in the main universe, even organic or inorganic existences belonging to other universes. All can be absorbed.”

"Is this possible?" Feng Bujue asked in surprise.

Chitie replied: "It's scary, isn't it? As long as she first 'formats' the target through 'data infection', she can then 'swallow' it. And her swallowing and absorption is not just It's just to obtain 'energy', as long as the 'realm' of the person being swallowed is high enough... For example, if it swallows some kind of high-level super AI, or the wisdom god of a certain universe, etc... In that case, Twenty-Three itself The upper limit of her ability will also be further increased. In the words of No. 0... 'Every time she swallows a high-dimensional existence, her calculation rate will be greatly improved.'"

"I understand..." Feng Bujue's expression became serious, "Let's stop talking about abilities first..."

Indeed, what we know so far is enough.

"You two should tell me..." Jue Ge paused and then asked, "Today, twenty-three, what do you want to do when you come to this magic island?" (To be continued.)
