Chapter 452: 452

“The golden sparkle forced the butterfly monster back. The uninvited guest opened a new chapter of the battle.” The narration that had long disappeared suddenly rang out again. And… not only the players, even the Anomalies present could hear him. The powerful male voice said in Hokkien slowly and dramatically.

“Dissecting the vicissitudes of fate with a smile, studying the Qian Kun, calculating one’s destiny. Fearless and heedless, taking life and death with the air of the enlightened, unlike ghost, unlike god, more like a maddened man.” Before the man arrived, the heraldry came first. At that moment, all the players of Thriller Paradise had their focus trained on a spot. All the cameras of the livefeed overlapped to aim at one person.

“Great heraldry, advent of a great person.

“At that moment…

“At that moment…

“Sorry, I can’t do this anymore.”

“Ha?” Everyone, including ROOT, was startled when they heard this. By then, the people realized something was wrong with the narration. First the narration should appear right in their ears and it had a clean enunciation and level volume. But the narration earlier came from a high point and there was an echo like there was someone narrating at the battlefield. Secondly, why would the narration include such a strange heraldry? Normally that was something announced by the player.

“Hm… there sure are quite a crowd here.” Then, a familiar voice spoke. Feng Bujue finally appeared on the rooftop on one of the buildings beside the street. He used his usual hard to read gaze to look down on everyone on the battlefield. He looked so at ease like he was out on a walk. ROOT raised her eyes to look at Brother Jue and the white glow of the data flow lit up her eyes. “Feng Bujue…”

“Yup, that’s me.” Feng Bujue replied. “You are ROOT, right…” He narrowed his eyes to study her. “Before we start, I wish to ask… would you be willing to abandon this plan?”

ROOT snapped and a white pillar of light appeared to swallow the spot Feng Bujue was standing.

…

“Fine… that was a clear enough answer.” Feng Bujue’s voice rang out again and he appeared a few metres behind where he stood earlier.

[He avoided it?] ROOT gasped internally. [He can move that fast with the current strength of his data?]

“Hey, Feng Bujue.” Shiva shouted a bit belatedly. “What’s with the narration earlier?”

“oh, that?” Feng Bujue raised his hand with a smile. He showed a pocket watch in his palm. “it was this.” He swung the pocket watch and then pulled it to his lips, cleared his throat and said, “Why so serious?” A dark and crazed voice echoed and it carried with it the echo that mimicked that of the narrating voice.

Name: Pocket Watch of Deceit

Item Type: Others

Quality: Excellent

Special Effect: Can change the user’s voice and volume to a certain degree (exhaust 10 Stamina Points when in used every second)

Remark: a message from the inventor Professor Agasa Hiroshi. I admit this invention is not perfect, for example, it will face problem mimicking the voice of a people of the opposite gender. And the volume increase wouldn’t rival that of a simple microphone. But at least it looks nice. Only an idiot will make it look a red bow tie.

“Hue… You sure know how to use these little trinkets…” For some strange reason, after seeing Brother Feng, Shiva felt more at ease… If one had to explain it, it felt like ‘that guy must have a solution’.

“Bujue.” 23 raised her head. “Is it okay to leave… ROOT to you?’

“Ah… It will be over soon.” Feng Bujue replied calmly. As he spoke, he took one step forward and dropped down horizontally from the side of the building. Several seconds later, Feng Bujue landed on the tip of his toe and looked unscathed. His fall only caused a small collection of dust to rise.

“What is that?” Brahma who saw this couldn’t help but say, “Falling down from that height, without any landing pose or buffer, and he ends up fine?”

“Who knows what that kid is up to…” Shiva answered. “Both he and Phantom Dawn are monsters you can’t predict… nothing is beyond their scope of ability.”

“Hmph…” yama blew on her bangs. “Only monsters… can deal with monsters…”

At that moment, a figure darted out. No one expected, just as everyone was hesitating due to Feng Bujue’s appearance, Wang Tanzhi would make his move without hesitation. Without a second word, he rushed towards Red Iron who was lying on the ground.

“You said… it will be over soon…” ROOT obviously was triggered by Brother Jue. She ignored Xiao Tan that moved past her and kept her eyes on Feng Bujue. “I do agree with that.”

The butterfly wings flickered against. In the snap of a finger, ROOT appeared before Feng Bujue and extended her finger.

BOOm

An explosion and the dust whirled. A light wall appeared before Feng Bujue and blocked the damage from the explosion.

“Xiao Tan, bring Red Iron and Phantom Dawn away with you.” While resisting ROOT, Feng Bujue shouted.

“Hmph… you think I’ll let you do that…” Without even turning to look, ROOT raised her hand…

Feng Bujue focused his eyes and moved like rabbit. His figure fluttered and shot out like an arrow. In this improbable moment, he opened his arms and pulled ROOT into a deep hug.

Name: Desert Wind Spinning Kick

Skill Card Property: Active, Permanent

Skill Type: Fighting

Effect: Drag a target and make a super high speed teleportation within 50 metres (cd is 5 minutes and there will be a trail of movement)

Exhaust: 300 Stamina Points

Remark: When I was a copper man at the temple, I often used this skill to deal with those who tried to escape. But after that, the head monk bought a bunch of benches and me and my brother disciple’s kung fu became obsolete…

Basically with ROOT’s defense and self-regen, no matter what kind of attack Feng Bujue used, it wouldn’t stop her. But just like Shiva said, Feng Bujue… would come up with a solution.

In the blink of an eyes, the scenery before ROOT changed. Due to the change in location, she had to stop her attack.

“Hmph… Humans are ultimately humans…” ROOT said. “Feng Bujue you seem to miss something, right?” Her metallic tentacle curled around Brother Jue. “I know ZERO must have told you something like…’as long as you work with Phantom Dawn, you can kill ROOT’…” She sneered. “But have it crossed your mind when your teammate wakes up Phantom Dawn and you’re already dead… what’s the point then?”
