Chapter 516: Jumo Island (Twenty-Two)

"What are you and Ruth conspiring about?"

This is the question the statue asked.

Before he finished speaking, the expressions of the four teammates behind Brother Jue suddenly changed.

Feng Bujue hesitated for just a second... Then he calmly raised the hand that was not bitten, pressed it on his shoulder, and replied: "Nothing."

As soon as he said this, the magic seal on his shoulder glowed and then dissipated.

Silence fell in the stone chamber. For a moment, only the breathing of the players could be heard.

Five seconds later, the statue silently opened its mouth. Brother Jue took his arm back and took out the item in the statue's mouth.

"Huh... I finally fooled it." Feng Bujue rubbed his arm and said with a look of relief.

At this time, the description menu of the item in his hand was also unlocked by the system (although he held it in his hand just now, he could not view the item description):

[Name: An old Poké Ball that has never been used]

[Type: Other]

[Quality: Excellent]

[[ Special Effect: Capture and save a crystal maze fantasy beast]

[Usage conditions: Choose Iver as your belief]

[Can this scenario be brought out: No]

[Remarks: I hate Pikachu! From the bottom of my heart! ]

"Aha! Another item that can reduce the difficulty of passing the level." Feng Bujue looked up and said after reading the description, "I said it's good to explore it, right?"

But... no one paid attention to him...

At this moment, the other four players, including Xiao Ma, all looked at Jue with a naked, suspicious look... sideways.

"What's the matter?" Feng Bujue pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"What are you, and Ruth... plotting...?" Honghu stared at Jue and said word by word.

Feng Bujue replied innocently. "Didn't I say there was nothing?"

"Yeah... When you said that, you also consumed the talisman that Lesend gave you..." Jibe continued.

"That just proves..." Feichaishu continued, "You and Ruth are indeed plotting something."

"Although I don't know what's going on now, everyone is standing over and looking at you sideways, so I'm here to join in the fun, you guys continue..." Tianma Xingkong also continued.

"Okay... okay..." Feng Bujue said, "Ruth and I discussed something." He spread his hands, as if it was no big deal, "But the specific content... I'm sorry I can't tell you."

"You're not a simple guy..." Honghu adjusted his glasses, "We thought you and Ruth died together at that time." He sneered. "I didn't expect... in that situation, you and her didn't die, and they became partners?"

"So what?" Feng Bujue asked back, "There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests." He shrugged and smiled, "Is it strange to make some deals with the boss?"

Feng Bujue consciously used the word "boss" and made his tone seem understated and natural. Because... in the eyes of other players. After all, this is still a game; no matter what happened in the peak battle, they would still think... that what they encountered was just a group of rare high-intelligence NPCs and some relatively unique script settings.

"Uh... If you put it that way, I can understand it." Uncle Feichai replied after thinking for a few seconds. As a man who caught a boss-level monster back to the landing space and turned it into a little assistant, he was naturally used to all kinds of situations.

"Ah... Anyway, I'm just a spectator watching the game in the mall. I don't have any deep hatred with that boss, so I don't care." Atobe spread his hands and said, his words were filled with a hint of sadness...

"Hey, hey... What's going on?" Honghu said unhappily, "Am I the only one who is making a fuss? This guy is friends with the final boss of the "big event". It's normal for me to be surprised."

"Well... It doesn't seem to be a big deal. I was relieved when I didn't know the situation." Tianma Xingkong said another cute nonsense, showing his presence.

"If you're fine, then keep moving forward." Feng Bujue put the Poké Ball into his bag. He picked up his catapult again (when the statue bit his hand, he put the catapult on the ground with his outer hand) and said, "Hey, go push the door, hurry up."

The few people made a few more noises and then headed towards the portal to the next level.

At this time, what his teammates didn't know was that... Feng Bujue, who appeared calm and answered questions fluently, had already been full of doubts in his heart.

In fact... when the statue asked that question, Feng Bujue was the most shocked among the five. Although he didn't show it, his brain had been thinking about one question all the time since then - why did the Mouth of Truth ask him about him and Rutte?

"This is indeed the main universe of Horror Paradise, but how can a statue hidden in the underground temple of Zui Demon Island, which may not even have self-awareness, ask me such a thing?" Feng Bujue thought to himself, "The matter between Root and me obviously has nothing to do with this script, so this issue is definitely not arranged by the system. Then...could it be that the setting of this statue is to 'explore the unspeakable secrets in the other party's mind, and conduct "Asking questions?" He quickly rejected this inference, "No, this setting will obviously cause a lot of problems. If it is a single-player version, it is possible, but if you do this in a team version, the questions raised will be It may directly leak the player’s privacy.”

After putting aside several possibilities, Feng Bujue thought of a more reliable answer: "Hmph... It seems that a 'very powerful' guy is up to something... Who could it be?" he thought to himself, " Someone who has the ability to control the original data composition of this statue outside of the script, and has the motive to ask me that question..." A list of suspects was about to come out, "The first thing that can be ruled out is Woody, he can't do such a thing; 'Zero If Hao' is... it is more likely, maybe he has got some information, so he has this move; there are also two other leaders of the source organization, who also have motives; in addition... it cannot be ruled out that Root himself wants to Test me; in the end... although the possibility is extremely small, I may have been targeted by the 'Nine Sections'. With their technical strength, they should be able to do what they just did."

While Jue Ge was thinking, Honghu had passed through the trap door on this floor and completed a preliminary survey of the floor below.

"Come down, be safe."

As Honghu's cry rang out, everyone entered the third floor of the temple of faith (counting from top to bottom)... (To be continued...)
