Chapter 173 Despicable Me 6

"Don’t act so confidently," Ravid told the puppet. "But... you are right. I will not let this traveler kill you."

It turned around to Feng Bujue. "You, go and capture him first."

"Capture ’him?" Feng Bujue glanced at the puppet and repeated, "Him?"

"On the forty-first minute," Ravid replied, "I handed my potion to you, and it was then that you captured him for me."

It pointed at the fourth corridor. "That time, you came from there."Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

"Current quest changed, main quest updated," the system said. Feng Bujue opened the game menu and saw that underneath the original quest to find the chemical potions, a sub quest had been added. "Find and capture the wooden puppet Billy inside the fourth corridor and bring him to Ravid in exchange for one of the chemical potions."

Feng Bujue lifted his head to let out a deep sigh. "I have an assumption. If I go now to capture him and bring him back to you on the forty-first minute and then I don’t take the potion from you, will everything that is happening now will still occur?"

"You mean, if you do it that way, will the potion still be with me right now, yes?"

"Correct," Feng Bujue said.

"But you have already taken it." Ravid looked into Feng Bujue’s eyes. "Do you understand that?"

Feng Bujue was stunned for a few seconds. "You mean..."

"It is because you have already taken it. That is why you are asking me this question now," Ravid explained. "Based on the other hypothesis, assuming you didn’t take it then, I would have handed the potion to you now. But even if that is the case, you still need to go and capture Billy because, if you didn’t, my cell would have been empty, and I would have given the potion to you, and this timeline itself wouldn’t have existed.

It paused, toyed with its whiskers, probably realizing how strange it was sounding. "The puppet Billy was previously hiding in the fourth corridor. He has one of the potions too. After capturing him, naturally, you get your hand on his potion."

"Okay, I think I get it now," Feng Bujue said. "In other words, there is one potion in each corridor except for number three, and I will get the last one from you after entering the fourth corridor from the front and capturing Billy."

Ravid nodded to show that he was right.

"Last two questions. First, in terms of pure distance, which corridor is the shortest?" Feng Bujue wished to use the shortest corridor to run back to the front first. Because it was already the eighty-fourth minute, he was worried that he did not have enough time to make up to deal with the mini boss inside the first and second corridors.

He planned to go back first and then enter the fourth corridor from the front to let the time realign itself. He would then have enough time to stop while inside the corridor to do something.

"I have no idea," Ravid answered. "I’ve only been inside the first corridor, so I cannot tell you which one is longer or shorter."

"What? And you call yourself the warden?" Feng Bujue asked with disbelief.

"If I could leave this place, I would have captured all the inmates already. Do you think I would still need your help?" Ravid answered matter-of-factly.

"Then what about the inmate hiding in the first corridor? Has he been captured by you already?" Feng Bujue raised his head to look at the four cells behind Ravid. "Which room is he stored in? Where is the potion he had?"

"I merely said that I’ve been down the first corridor. I didn’t say that I’ve captured anyone," Ravid replied. "That thing... is rather unique. I personally suggest you take the first corridor only after you’ve dealt with everything else."

"F*ck!" Feng Bujue cursed and turned to leave.

"Hey, didn’t you say you have two questions? What’s the second one?" Ravid asked.

Feng Bujue ran down the second corridor and yelled back without turning his head around. "The second question is... why didn’t you go and capture them yourself‽"

The man soon disappeared down the corridor.

At that moment, the time that Feng Bujue had experienced, based on his internal calculation, was close to forty minutes.
