Chapter 32: The Plans of the Famous Detectives (Part 2)
"No need." Penguin replied.
Tu Mei also coldly continued: "How many times do I have to tell you that Xiong Jijun is a completely different character from us. He does not have the ability to see through dimensions, nor does he have the wisdom like us. In fact... he even He cannot even follow logic and common sense in the general sense. He is just a pervert who is programmed from birth to commit crimes, confess crimes, and be arrested again and again.”
"That's right." Assistant Penguin continued, "We just led it into the alley, used the fake corpse and prop blood prepared in advance to scare it away, and then I shouted." He looked at Xiao Tan, "In this incident, your performance surprised me. I thought you were just another guy's follower, but I didn't expect...your reasoning is really decent, and about 70% of it is consistent with the facts. matched."
Xiaotan didn't feel happy at all after hearing this compliment. Because he was afraid of saying the wrong thing, he did not respond, and the expression on his face remained as unchanged as possible, but...he was thinking in his mind: "The kind of reasoning that was forcibly made to help Xiong Ji get away with the crime...is actually incompatible with reality. Is the situation coincident..."
"After creating the illusion that Penguin was aiding in death, we observed you for three days." A few seconds later, Tu Mei took over and continued, "During these three days, Xiong Ji was quite peaceful and did not commit any crimes. And Neko Saburo And Hayabusa didn't show any abnormalities anymore, so... we conducted another crucial test..."
"You asked the dead Penguin to appear in front of Neko Saburo and Hayabusa..." Before Tome revealed the answer, Feng Bujue interrupted, "...Is that so?"
"Hmph..." Tu Mei snorted coldly, confirming Brother Jue's reasoning, "In short...after that, the fact that you are 'high-dimensional controllers' has basically been verified."
"Next, we will stay put for the time being." Penguin assisted. "Follow Umei-chan's 'retreat to advance' strategy, tolerate your behavior, and observe your action patterns in order to deduce your purpose and identity."
"Brother Jue...at that time..." At this second, Xiao Tan thought of something and called Feng Bujue.
"Ah... I know." Before Xiaotan could speak, Feng Bujue knew what he was going to say, so he directly replied, "The real purpose of the system suddenly arranging side tasks for us... is actually to disrupt these few people. npc investigation.”
"Change the time period when we control Neko Saburo and Hayabusa, so that we can get more information..." Xiaotan continued.
"It's a pity... We didn't even have an idea of these situations at that time." Feng Bujue responded in a low voice. "If we are aware of it, we can conduct multiple counter-tests during the outing..."
"Sigh... I just remembered this now..." Xiao Tan sighed, "It seems that we are a bit of an afterthought..."
He is right. It is of little significance to discuss these matters at this moment.
"Then... we are almost at the point." Penguin helped, "That is... the 'Monster Thief Bears_Eye Incident'..."
"That incident was indeed done by Bear Ji himself." Tu Mei said, "He wrote the crime warning card himself, and bears_eye's identity is also obvious."
"When you were talking to Xiong Ji in the school toilet, I was hiding in the innermost compartment of the toilet, standing on the toilet seat." Penguin assisted, "I heard all your conversations."
"After school, Penguin Assistant found me and quickly formulated a plan." Tumei said. "In this plan... we invited Hirata-kun to help."
"I've guessed this..." Feng Bujue said, "It's not easy for you two elementary school students to mobilize so many police forces and arrange such a grand spectacle just to catch a few thieves who stole underwear... possible."
"I can interfere with the thinking of those supporting characters to a certain extent." Hirata explained timely, "And Inunosuke... is just a supporting character."
"That night..." Tumei continued after a second. "Your reaction when you were rounded up confirmed to us... you are definitely not 'readers', 'audiences', or 'travelers'; you two have a clear but irrational purpose - at all costs." If there is nothing we can do to prevent Xiong Jijun from being arrested, we will reduce his culpability.”
Penguin assisted: "This characteristic is completely consistent with the 'player' we know."
Rabbit Mei continued: "Coupled with your intermittent control of Neko Saburo and Hayabusa... we understand... your mission is to constantly appear in the plot where Xiong Ji is about to be arrested and prevent him from being arrested. "
"The investigation of you is now over." When Hirata said this, he was already approaching the two players slowly, "In the days after that, Usagi still pretended to know nothing. , playing his role in a conventional way, surrounding Xiong Ji... and dealing with you."
"Of course, since I have decided to retreat in order to advance..." Tu Mei interrupted, "...I naturally let go consciously." She spread her hands and shook her head, "Otherwise... Xiong Ji will be arrested every time. "It's useless what you say."
"And I... have been secretly responsible for monitoring you." Penguin assisted, "To test whether the previously observed 'control time period' pattern is completely correct."
"When everything is in order..." Hirata continued, "I... brought you here."
"Well..." When Xiao Tan heard this, his head was covered with cold sweat. He whispered to Brother Jue, "It seems... before coming here, the last side mission... is the ultimate reminder given to us by the system. '……"
"Yes." Feng Bujue responded, "The system gave us a whole morning to think...but I...didn't expect..."
"Even after the branch line was completed, the system still didn't give up. It used a transition to remind us that the next main line is the last chance to see through these NPCs..." Xiao Tan continued.
"It's so shameful..." Feng Bujue muttered, "The familiarity with the world of the script has become a burden... If you were to arrange this script with someone who doesn't know much about "Rihe", you might have noticed it earlier. Something..."
Their sorrow can't change anything. At this time, the man who has control of everything is...
"In this world, Hirata-kun's ability is unrivaled," Usagi said.
"He has been preparing for a long time. Unless there is external intervention, otherwise... you will never escape from here." Penguin Sukeya said.
"Those players who came to this world before, let me know...'you' can'forcibly retreat', so you have nothing to fear." Hirata glared at the two of them and sneered, "Haha...that's why I'm preparing It’s been so long…”
Before he finished speaking, Feng Bujue opened the game menu with great vigilance and tried the option of force quitting the script. The result...
【operation failed】
System voice. An extremely terrible thing was announced.
At the same second, Xiao Tan saw the expression on Brother Jue's face move slightly, and instantly realized something. The two of them had a clear understanding of each other. Xiao Tan also called up the game menu in the next second and silently tried to force quit...
【operation failed】
The same prompt reached Wang Tanzhi's ears.
"I see..." Feng Bujue was silent for a moment, then looked up at the three NPCs and said, "That's why...after the Kaitou bears_eye incident, you still waited so long to get us here. "
[The main mission has been changed] As he was speaking, the system prompt came again.
Brother Jue and Xiao Tan both quickly glanced at the taskbar...but saw [trying to hide their 'player' identities before the end of the script. 】This item has been erased. Instead it was [leave the game cabin].
"Haha... System Master, thank you for your hard work..." Feng Bujue actually laughed, "Is this a forced change of mission..."
"Brother Jue..." Wang Tanzhi's expression was extremely serious, "This... is probably the scariest mission I have ever encountered..."
at this point. They had no worries when talking.
"Leave the game cabin... That's putting it lightly..." Feng Bujue said, "We are playing in sleep mode. As long as the neural connection is not disconnected... it is difficult to wake up on our own." He touched He said while holding his chin. "If we want to rely on the power of the real world to disconnect...unless someone opens the game cabin from the outside, or we have some physiological situation...such as being anxious to go to the toilet, or suffering from physical pain, itching, etc. Obvious discomfort above a certain level..."
"Then it seems there's no chance..." Xiaotan continued.
"Yes..." Feng Bujue continued and looked at Pingtian again, "Pingtian-kun, you are indeed very powerful... In your 'domain', not even the 'system' of our world can Competing with your ability." He shrugged, "I know a few guys who can make the system 'unable to forcibly disconnect'... but they only exist on the data layer of "Thriller Paradise" itself. . But you are different...you have forcibly suppressed two higher-dimensional spiritual hosts in your own dimension."
"Ha..." Hirata sneered, "There's no point in flattering me, just accept your fate..." His murderous aura suddenly appeared as if it had substance, "I want to make you two so-called 'players' and so-called 'high-dimensional' people Creatures'... also experience the feeling of being manipulated by others. After being attacked by my consciousness, when you wake up from your own world... you will either become a deranged madman or a drooling idiot... He laughed weirdly, "Hahaha... This is just the perfect pairing, isn't it? Hahahaha..."
He laughed for a while, then suddenly his expression turned ferocious, and he shouted loudly: "Go back to your own dimension! Go and put on a fucking funny cartoon!"
At this point, Hirata seemed to be ready to take action, but then...
"Huhuhuhuhuhu~" A burst of obscene laughter came from the sky.
"Oh... it's finally here..." Feng Bujue smiled in relief, "Ha... I thought it was going to be over."
"What...what's going on?" Xiaotan's expression turned from shock to suspicion, and she was confused.
Feng Bujue, with a smile on his face, said to Hirata, Tu Mei and Penguin Assistant: "You... all think of a 'person' too easily." (To be continued...)
