Chapter 499: The Island of Devil’s Maw (5)
Seeing the giant axe come at him, Pegasus jumped to the side and easily avoided the attack. Even though one had no idea who this baboon-face was, but from the strength and force behind that axe attack, he was no important character. The next second, Pegasus steadied himself, he assumed the famous pose and ready to counter.
Ding—
Suddenly, the tingle of a bell came. That was Feng Bujue activating Bell of Jin Gang, he used the first special effect: inspect the details of a NPC.

“Spare him! Wait!” Feng Bujue shouted immediately as he scanned through the menu. Hearing that Pegasus immediately pulled back his arms and forced himself to stop the skill (that everyone knew he was going to use).
“What’s wrong?” Pegasus turned back to ask.
“Leideson! Please calm down!” Feng Bujue shouted at the NPC, “We can talk about this!” Leidosen yanked out the axe that had plunged into the ground. He crossed it before his chest. The baboon face was still twitching from laughter. “Talk? Ha ha ha... I have said enough! I want to listen!” He roared, it sounded like he was ready to swing the axe again.
[Hey... he has to be making this up right? It has to be!] Even Uncle Worthless was thinking this inside his mind.
“Finally, one day when I was in primary fourth, I completed my revenge.” Brother Jue continued his story, “That day, I successfully stole his wallet and took back the 3 RMB of breakfast money that he demanded from me as protection fee and used a pin to prick little holes in the condom in his wallet. Then, I handed the wallet back to the lost and found counter at their school.” When his four teammates heard this, they were all thinking. [Police officer! The person you’re looking for is here!]
“Ah... Revenge sure is a dish best served cold...” At that point, Feng Bujue petered off into a maddening and chill laughter. “he he he... I sure was naughty at my rebellious years... Well as they say, ‘a tooth for a tooth and a prick for a prick’ right?”
“Wait a minute, who are they? And the second half of the saying is just made up!” Atobe roared.
“That’s not enough...” After hearing that Leideson opened his lips to say, “Is there no even greater sin?”
“Is that so? Then... does multiple tempering with the evidence at a crime scene counts as a greater sin?” Feng Bujue asked.
Hearing that Pegasus silently opened the game menu. [Hmm... How do you report a player to the law enforcement again...]
“I want to listen to actual sin! Actual sin!” Leideson shouted loudly. Then he looked around at the other players. “The rest of you! Speak! Tell me more! Quick! Or I will kill you!”
“Hmph... A superhero will never sin!” Pegasus whipped his head to the side and looked up into the sky and said. At the same time, both of his hands had the index finger crossed with the middle finger.
“You better go back to kindergarten to learn how to tell a better lie first!” Atobe countered.
“Hmm...” Ambitionist silently pushed on his glasses and he thought internally. [For this NPC, listening to other people’s confession is like a feast to him... From how he acts, he appears to be ‘hungry’ for a long time already, so long that his mind is not in a stable state.] Ambitionist’s analysis was correct and Feng Bujue came to about the same conclusion. When he heard Leideson’s request, Brother Jue thought of all these immediately because he had encountered similar NPC in the past (Aldan) who wanted to listen to ghost stories. In comparison, this Leideson’s habit was that strange.
“I say... we can tell you as many stories you want to listen.” Feng Bujue continued to negotiate with Leideson, “But... in exchange, what kind of benefit you can give us?”
[hmm... as expected of Brother Feng.] Ambitionist thought. [Now we’re getting somewhere.]
Leideson calmed down immediately. Feng Bujue’s statement appeared to trigger some kind of event and caused the NPC to respond in a fixed programmed manner.
“Benefit is it...” Leideson said darkly. “The word has different meaning depending on the different entity...” His eyes scanned the group of five. “before that, I have to ask... what is your ‘faith’?”
