Chapter 251 Brothers 15

The man was large, tall, and imposing. His right arm was made from metal, so he was naturally slower from the weight. Even though his lunge was forceful, the pattern was simple and direct, so it was not that hard to evade. Under the effect of the skill, Feng Bujue had a great advantage in terms of reaction, speed, and dynamic vision. In his eyes, his opponent was moving way too slow and too innocently.

As Feng Bujue avoided the attack, he got the opportunity to ask, "Are you one of the five sergeants from the mechanical arms unit?"

Since he was able to handle the situation with such ease, he had not given up the possibility of communicating with the other party.

"Humph... Why ask when you already know the answer?" The man’s attack missed. He turned his body around and launched another punch.

"I have no idea why you would think something like that..." Feng Bujue maintained a high movement speed and kept his breath even. "But you must trust me now. I mean you no harm. As long as you promise to stop attacking me, I will not attack you."

The man scoffed coldly.

"You mean me no harm? You joined forces with the member of the Xin clan to slaughter my people. Do you think that I will fall for something like that when you say something like this‽" he roared. He changed his attacks. With a swing of his arm, he carried his body with the momentum and slammed into Feng Bujue.

"If we can’t talk this out, then there is no other choice..." Feng Bujue looked at the other’s approaching figure. "Then I will use this skill to teach you a small lesson."

He said that out loud because he himself has no idea what kind of skill he would end up using.

From Feng Bujue’s perspective, there was only one dangerous thing about this enemy, and it was the mechanical arm. That aside, he was just slightly stronger than a normal person. Along as he did not fight him head on, he had a ninety percent chance of winning.

"Kyaaa!" Feng Bujue materialized behind his opponent, raised his fist, and then activated his title skill at the same time. He aimed at the top right of the man’s back, the spot that was close to the shoulder. This was not a fatal position, so even if the random skill had high damage and caused his punch to poke through the man’s body, it would not cause any harm to any internal organs. If he was lucky, he might even cause the man’s right arm to lose its function. Feng Bujue was obviously taking things slow and making things easy for the opponent. He thought to himself, Even if I claim this man’s life, it’s not in any way beneficial to me. Since he does not listen to my advice, I will try my best to fight until he loses the ability to fight back, and then I will try to figure out a way to communicate with him.

However, at that moment, Feng Bujue was surprised to hear a system announcement that he had not heard before. "The skill that you have randomly activated, ’Ultimate Hellfire Wavemotion Cannon’, has exhausted all of your current Stamina Points. The activation of this skill under the lack of Stamina Points will in turn be taken out from Life Points. Thus, your Life Points have dropped by fifty percent."

What the f*ck is this? There’s something like that‽ Feng Bujue cursed internally. He had recovered his Life Points to maximum at the second floor bathroom. During the fall, he had lost fifteen percent, and then he had lost quite a bit after that when he activated Body Enhancement Spell. When he heard the system announcement that his Life Points had dropped by fifty percent, it flustered him greatly, and Feng Bujue immediately deactivated Body Enhancement Spell.

Of course, there was no need to maintain that skill anymore because his enemy had been ground to dust by a blast wave that could take down an entire country. Not even a drop of blood was left of the enemy. That was not all. After the blast annihilated the enemy, the residual energy continued to blast forward, and it landed on one of the walls inside the red room. The wall was facing against the door. Theoretically speaking, the wall should not have been able to be destroyed because the space beyond the wall was already out of the scenario’s map range.

Yet, even this wall had crumbled. The stone wall that looked incredibly sturdy and indestructible collapsed just like that. When the energy blast made contact with the wall, it collided into a strong glow. It was so bright that Feng Bujue had to shield his eyes to prevent himself from being blinded. When the light faded and the man was able to look again, there was a large hole about one meter in diameter that appeared on the wall. The spot where it collapsed showed a wave of large white data. The flowing light was slowly repairing the edge of the scenario, which had been destroyed, and the stone wall was gradually being rebuilt.

"What kind of skill was that?" Feng Bujue gasped in shock. The complete exhaustion of Stamina Points had drained his energy. He felt his knees go weak, and he dropped to the ground. "This can’t be real... A player at level twenty-seven can theoretically put out a skill that is so immensely powerful?"

His guess was not wrong; that was exactly what had happened.

In the description for the skill Kyaaa!, there was this description—’the effect of the random skill will not surpass the limitation of the player’s level and ability’. In other words, a player at level twenty-seven with the same physical traits as Feng Bujue and under the effect of Body Enhancement could have activated a skill like that, provided that they had the skill in their skill bar. However, throughout the whole of Thriller Paradise, so far, the only player who could perform similar attack below level thirty was Sky-Swallowing Phantom Dawn.

At this point, it was worth noting that the skill that Feng Bujue had randomly activated had been obtained by someone in the server, but it was the exhaustible version.

He pushed the cart past his little brother and left the room.

...

"So, the aim of those experiments... is to turn Arthur, who is from the Xin clan, into a normal person?" Feng Bujue mumbled to himself as he walked out from the yellow room and headed toward the blue room that was next door. "The video from earlier should be showing me the result of their experiments. It is hard to tell for now whether Arthur has successfully turned himself into a human, but it is certain that Andrew has suffered a certain degree of damage from this..."

He pushed the blue door, and it swung open easily.

"Perhaps Arthur purposely left out this sacrifice that was needed in the experiment and tricked his little brother to take up the sacrifice for him? Or perhaps... even Arthur himself did not expect something like this to happen. Hmm... From the introductory cinematic, both of these hypotheses have a chance of being the truth. After all, they are still brothers. No matter what happened, Arthur will still some degree of guilt."

The blue room should be a prison cell, and it was a special prison cell. The four walls, the ceiling, and the ground were all painted with magic circles. There was no bed in the room, but there were four iron pillars in the four corners of the room. Each of the pillars was attached with a shackle.

"Those inmates who have a higher fighting ability than a normal person are probably kept in this room..." Feng Bujue came to the corner and used the magnifying glass to observe. He noticed that both the shackle and the pillar had the same magic circle that was painted on the wall. "The magic circle is probably there to prevent the inmates from using magic or brute force to escape. But..."

He lay on the ground for a while to conduct his investigation. After a while, he confirmed there was no trace of food in the room.

"There is no feeding hole, there is no plastic pail, and there is a smell of ammonia in the four corners of the room... Hmm... From the evidence, the people who were kept here were not given any food or drink, and they were bound to the corners. After they were well starved, they would be taken to the other cells and then treated with the ’special meals’. By then, they were too weak to attempt to escape."

Feng Bujue walked around the room. He would stop occasionally to see if he could trigger any cinematics. He did this for five minutes and ended up with nothing. So, once again, he had to start a carpet search...

This time, it really did work.

The four pillars in the room were thick and had rust all over them. From a cursory glance, other than the magic circle on them, there was nothing too unique about them. Feng Bujue used the wrench and knocked on every inch of the pillar. He found an opening on one of the pillars. It was a part that was facing the wall, about one meter above the ground. Feng Bujue gave the spot a light whack, and the spot caved in. Seeing that, Feng Bujue added more force, and he managed to knock out a small hole. With more knocking and peeling, he managed to expand the hole to the size of one’s fist. He reached into it and found the item that was hidden inside.

Can be taken out of the scenario: Yes

"Okay, on to the next room."

With the item found, Feng Bujue left the blue room and walked toward the black room that was right opposite. This time, after he pushed open the door, he did not walk into it. This was because inside the black room was complete darkness...

The red, yellow, and blue rooms were covered in light from an unknown source, but that was not so for the black room. The room was covered in darkness, a darkness so thick it could not be penetrated by the light from the corridor. It felt as if there was a black cloth that was hung at the door, forbidding the light entry. Feng Bujue was hesitating over whether to enter and whether there was danger in the room when laughter came from inside the room.

The laughter was strange. The person who laughed had a very shrill voice, but there was a brazenness to the laughter. To make an example, this kind of contrast would be like Lin Zhiling singing a manly song...

"What the f*ck..." Feng Bujue bounced a step back. "Who is it! Show yourself!"

Without thinking, he pulled out the Death Poker to prepare to face the enemy.

Then, the ’darkness’ in the room started to move like a wave. It gathered in the middle of the room, and the empty space left by it was filled by the light from the corridor.

Feng Bujue stood at the door and looked inside. He realized that the size of the room was similar to the three rooms before it. But it was empty. The main color scheme of the room, which was the ’darkness’, had gathered together like it was alive. Soon, the darkness congealed into a shadow that had a human shape, standing in the middle of the room. The appearance and outline of the shadow mirrored a superstar who had passed away a long time ago...

"This is..." Feng Bujue had not figured out how to deal with this when background music started beside his ears. The easily recognizable rhythm was Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean. As the music started, the shadow in the room began to perform thee ’moonwalk’ as it shuffled toward the door...
