Chapter 778: Power of the Devil

"Hey hey hey... why are you here?" An obscene voice sounded above the martial arts stage.

This man in a black suit and glasses had arrived here the moment Infinit completed its "evolution". It's just that... neither the players nor the NPCs are aware of his existence.

"Come to monitor you." Another calm, cold voice replied.

It was also a man in a black suit. He had short brown hair, and his aura was in sharp contrast to the wretched guy next to him.

These two "people" appeared in the air as if they were teleporting, just like the crew of some American dramas (yes, I'm talking about "Supernatural"), in order to save money, use the "as soon as the camera turns, the person is already in the sky" It’s over there” technique… appears silently and suddenly.

As for their identities, you must have guessed them - Woody and Simon.

"Hey hey hey... do you think I will do something weird?" Woody asked with a sinister smile, and there was a chilling aura under the glowing white lenses of his glasses.

"It's not '$() will do it'..." Simon continued, "but 'it's been done'."

"Hehe... Do you mean 'Special Plan F'?" Woody smiled, "That has nothing to do with me. I didn't write Infinite." He spread his hands, "Speaking of which... This time I was impressed by Ed and Link... They actually combined the 'Truth Sequence' and 'Matrix Code' from two dimensions to create this monster..."

"Don't change the subject." Simon interrupted Woody, "I said you 'did it', and of course there is a basis for it." He turned his head, looked directly at Woody and said, "According to the results of my investigation, the situation is as follows ..." His tone sounded like he was reading out a verdict, "After the end of Peak Contest S1... Feng Bujue not only failed to eliminate Lute, but chose to cooperate with him. This behavior... exceeded your calculations. So, you went. I found Zero and used one of your preset 'Language Keys' to trigger a set of 'processing plans' (see Chapter 460 - Emergency Maintenance)." He paused, "Then, I got the instruction. Zero, at the cost of giving up part of his power, forcibly sneaked into the "space-time data transmission layer", found the incomplete Infinit and implanted "Special Plan F".

Listening to Simon's words, Woody still looked calm, and his obscene smile even got a little bit worse.

"On the surface, you just said a few specious words to a special derivative, without any real content." Simon continued, "But in fact..."

"Actually... it really has nothing to do with me." Woody took over the other party's words, "Hehehehe... I don't know of any preset 'solution'. Everything zero has done has never been done. It came from my mouth. So... what you said is just your speculation." He pushed up his glasses with his middle finger, "As a referee, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to make a decision based on speculation, right?"

"Hmph... Vincent is right." Simon snorted coldly. "In the absence of conclusive evidence, you must quibble to the end."

"Hehehe...that bastard...is really talkative..." Woody laughed, "In every sense of the word..."

"Even if he didn't say it, I thought of it..." Simon continued. "Presumably... when the 'First Era' of Horror Paradise was destroyed, you had secretly laid many clues that could be used in the future. These clues can help you reverse the situation when the outcome of some key events gets out of control. And activate them Method. It may be 'a sentence', 'a thing', or 'the arrival of a certain point in time'.

"Hehe... It sounds like that." Woody's tone was still very relaxed, "But I won't admit that it is the truth..." He scratched the back of his neck, "Suppose... please note, It's just a 'hypothesis'... What you said is true, so what?" He replied confidently, "If you want to prove that I used the above method to guide the development of the gambling game, there are only two ways... One is It is obviously impossible to force me to confess; the second is to lock in a certain 'default plan' that has not been activated by me, and then break apart and crush the program that carries this plan, and analyze it thoroughly... ...hehehehe... Not to mention the countless programs in this game, even if you have an exact target, 80% of it is an extremely critical set of data. If you perform such a devastating check on it, I'm afraid... it will... It will have an irreversible and huge impact on the entire gambling trend.”

"In short..." Simon looked at Woody with contempt, "I, as the referee, can't handle the game you set up."

"Hey hey hey... I still said the same thing, I didn't do anything and I don't know what you are talking about." Woody answered this question in a tight manner. Even if he lost the bet, he did not want to "violate the rules ( At least it can't be caught openly)", because the result of violating the rules is to face Simon's death.

"Ha..." Simon sneered and asked, "Do you think I can't do anything to you like this?"

"At least you don't have a clear motive to kill me." Woody said, "That's enough."

"'Enough'...is it..." Simon continued, "Then as a referee, I am within the scope of my authority and interfere with the target you bet on, so you have nothing to say, right?"

"Hehehe...it turns out you are not here to 'monitor me'." Woody shrugged, "but you are here to scare the monkeys in front of me..."

"Killing the chicken to scare the monkey?" Simon glared at Woody, "Who do you think you are dealing with? A rebellious teenager?"

When Woody heard this, he knew that his "induction" had been seen through, and he helplessly said: "Tch...it's been seen through."

"Of course." Simon continued, "I know very well that 'Special Plan F' seems to be an insurance to protect Feng Bujue, but in fact it is Infinite's protective umbrella." He paused, "This This plan can effectively prevent Infinite from having a head-on conflict with Feng Bujue before completing all the evolutionary tasks, and reduce their contact." He crossed his hands on his chest and mused, "So far, every one of them has. The derivatives who were defeated by Feng Bujue almost all made the same mistake...that is, if they faced Feng Bujue too early, the result would often be failure. , allowing Infinite, an existence that has the potential to lead to 'infinity'... to avoid this risk. Since it cannot compete with Feng Bujue, and cannot be equal to it on the information level, Infinit will inevitably attack Feng Bujue. Stay away. In this way, he will be relatively safe until he completes his final evolution and releases the plan on his own."

Having said this, Simon glanced sideways at Woody again: "You arranged for the players to enter this script, not because you want them to witness the birth of 'Infinite', but because you want Infinit to take a look at it as soon as possible...in the future. The biggest 'threat' you will ever encounter. In this way... when he reaches Peak Contest S2, he will be able to execute your plan more easily."

Bang bang bang bang——

Woody applauded Simon: "Hehehe...you have seen through everything. Although that special plan has nothing to do with me, I still can't help but want to cheer for you~"

"Hmph..." Simon turned away, "For the sake of 'another game' other than the gambling game, it is really worth it to calculate your own betting goals..."

Woody's expression changed slightly and he asked: "Isn't it worth it?"

Simon did not take this issue again, both of them already had the answer in their hearts.

"That's it..." A few seconds later, Simon spoke again, "I only have..." He shook his head, "...I can't believe I said this..." As he spoke, a darkness came through. The red energy has condensed in his hands, "...the only way is to improve Feng Bujue's ability to smooth the gap that your 'calculations' may cause in the future."

Before he finished speaking, he flipped his palm, and a stream of condensed magic energy rushed towards the martial arts stage, hitting Feng Bujue's body directly.

The next second, Brother Jue, who knew nothing about it, felt a heat on his back and could no longer move his body...

Speaking of which, what a coincidence...

At this moment, it was the time when Brother Jue and Ruoyu were getting ready to attack. How could Feng Bujue's obvious stiffness escape Ruoyu's eyes? The latter immediately raised his sword and struck with a sword!

"What's going on?" Feng Bujue asked in shock, "There's no response from the data on her body at all. Why can't I move suddenly?" His thoughts flashed, and he asked out of the corner of his eye, "Is it Lu Bu?"

This is obviously impossible... Lu Fengxian is currently standing at the other end of the ring, more than two hundred meters away from here, thinking about the previous changes with an expression on his face.

"Or..." Feng Bujue was still thinking, "Huajian is already close to us, but I didn't notice it?"

At this point, it was useless for him to think about anything, he couldn't move... he just couldn't move.

The power given by Simon, whether from the data level in the game world or the spiritual level in the real world, was something Feng Bujue could not digest in a short period of time. This is like pouring a highly concentrated chemical solution into the paper packaging of a soft drink - if the level is too different, it will become a burden.

On the other side... Ruoyu didn't know what happened to Brother Jue. She just used a move [Xunguang Secret Style. White Rose] normally as a tentative attack at the beginning of the battle.

Never expected that... this sword would actually determine the winner.

scold--

Blood splattered and heads flew off.

[The player, Feng Bujue, is dead. 】

Even Ruoyu herself looked back with disbelief. In the next few dozen seconds, she still did not relax her vigilance... as if she was worried that what she saw in front of her was an illusion, and the system prompt in her ears was that it was blocked. It was imitated by a fraudulent pocket watch.

A full minute later, she muttered belatedly and doubtfully: "I... won?" (To be continued...)
