San Tian Liang Jiao
Chapter 275 Cape Scramble (11)
Although Mr. Freeze was clad in full mechanical armor, he also wore sunglasses inside his glass helmet, so Feng Bujue couldn't see his eyes. If he could, he would have noticed that Professor Fries' gaze was filled with bewilderment...
"Now, it's time to witness a miracle..." Feng Bujue tossed the capsule into his mouth and swallowed it with saliva.
Mr. Freeze, being a highly educated individual and not particularly "mad" for a villain, couldn't help but say upon seeing Feng Bujue's actions, "I must remind you, Mr. Mad, whether your performance is amusing is a minor concern. If you cannot prove you have what I want, you will meet the same fate as those two at the entrance."
"Look, it's already healed." Before the other man could finish speaking, Feng Bujue interjected. He shook his hand, and a layer of frost and dead skin fell off, "Good as new." He clenched his restored hand into a fist and wiggled his fingers, "Fully functional."
Mr. Freeze lowered his gun, stepped forward, seized Feng Bujue's forearm, and examined it closely, "Hmm... interesting... a drug that can instantly heal permanent cellular damage at this level." He released Feng Bujue's hand and said, "But this does not prove... that this drug can alter my cold-blooded condition." He paused for a moment, "Or... cure my wife's illness."
"I told you, Professor Fries, this medicine cures all diseases," Feng Bujue said. "AIDS, cancer, leukemia, Huntington's disease, and so on... whether congenital or acquired, genetic defects or viral infections, reversible or permanent damage... one capsule can solve it all. This medicine can even turn zombies back into humans. There's no room for doubt."
"No, your entire statement is questionable," Mr. Freeze countered. "Unless... you provide me with some samples to study their chemical composition."
"Forgive me for being blunt, Professor Fries, but that is impossible," Feng Bujue replied. "As far as I know, a certain organization (******) has conducted extensive experiments in an attempt to artificially synthesize this drug, but all have failed." He tried to round out the lie, "Believe me, Professor, that organization's achievements in the scientific field, as well as its manpower and resources... are certainly not inferior to you or anyone else on this planet."
"Since it cannot be artificially synthesized, where did you get the drug? A gift from God?" Fries asked.
"There are many things in this world that science cannot explain. You don't have to believe me, Professor. But... you must ultimately make a choice about the situation at hand," Feng Bujue said. "I have already demonstrated the drug's effects. The choice is simple: one, believe and accept my help; two, refuse and forgo this opportunity to save your wife." He observed every subtle change on the other man's face, and with growing confidence, his tone became increasingly forceful, "This 'gift from God' is in limited supply. I can only offer you two more, one for you and one for your wife. Even if you kill me, you won't get any more from me." Feng Bujue revealed his bottom line. For him, consuming three ***-500 pills to gain benefits was the limit. If that couldn't achieve his goal, he would rather abandon this opportunity for cooperation.
Mr. Freeze considered for a few seconds, his expression flickering under his sunglasses. The greatest weakness in his life was his wife, and he had seen the effects of the drug. He couldn't give up such an opportunity.
"I have a third option," Mr. Freeze said. "To freeze you immediately and take all the drugs from you." His words were clearly a test.
"Heh... you wouldn't do anything so rash, Professor," Feng Bujue naturally understood the other man's intent. He replied with a smile, "Since I mentioned 'dimensional pocket,' a term unheard of to you. Whether you can obtain the drugs from me after freezing me becomes an unknown." His eyes sharpened. "Besides... you should also see that, when necessary, I am not afraid of death."
"Hmph... you're a smart man," Mr. Freeze said with a slight smile. "I like dealing with people like you." He took two steps to the side. "But there's one thing I don't quite understand: why do you want to help me?" He turned his head. "Did you read my story in the tabloids and want to help this super-criminal turn over a new leaf?"
Feng Bujue said, "You and I both know that there's no turning back for you. My suggestion is that you take some time now to consider how you will explain to your wife what has happened since she was frozen." He paused for two seconds. "Besides... even if you could truly turn over a new leaf, that would certainly not be my reason for helping you."
"Then you want to make a deal," Mr. Freeze concluded accurately.
"That's right," Feng Bujue said.
"Do I have something you're interested in? I don't think you want money, do you?"
"No, no, no... that kind of motive is too vulgar," Feng Bujue said. "What I want is something that, to you, is already... oh no, is about to become scrap metal." He pointed to Mr. Freeze. "I just want a set of your armor and a few freezing pulse guns."
"That's all?" Mr. Freeze asked.
"If possible..." Feng Bujue turned around and pointed to Zhaoying Wang and the Blood Stone Golem trapped in the large ice block. "I'd like you to help me create an explosion powerful enough to destroy this entire street and kill them both."
Mr. Freeze glanced at the ice block, slightly surprised. "They're still alive?"
"Yes," Feng Bujue replied with certainty, because he saw from the game menu that [Zhaoying Wang]'s name was still listed as [Surviving]. "He and this monster have some kind of symbiotic mechanism. Although he himself may be in a state of suspended animation in the ice, as long as the monster can survive in the ice, like it is now..." He gestured towards the Blood Stone Golem. "...then his cells and body can continue to maintain a state of self-healing."
"You mean... when the ice melts, they'll come out unharmed?" Mr. Freeze followed up.
"That's right," Feng Bujue said. "So, we must create an attack that is enough to completely destroy them both at the same time in order to kill them."
"Hehehe... anyway, this place is useless now. Blowing it to the sky is no problem," Mr. Freeze said with a smile, agreeing to Feng Bujue's request.
At this moment, Zhaoying Wang, who was trapped in the ice block, couldn't see the two figures or hear their conversation because the Blood Stone Golem was blocking his view. All he could do was pray anxiously... pray that the Blood Stone Golem could break the ice before they did something.
Let me mention here that the way he tracked Feng Bujue was indeed by relying on summons. That monster is called [Voice of Shadow], a non-combat, highly intelligent summon. That voice that spoke to him in the park was also his secret reconnaissance method.
[Name: Summoning Technique - Voice of Shadow]
[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]
[Skill Category: Summon]
[Effect: Summons a Voice of Shadow (no cooldown, but can only be used once after entering a scenario, infinite duration, only 1 Voice of Shadow can exist at the same time)]
[Consumption: 50% Spiritual Power, one summon (excluding Voice of Shadow)]
[Learning Requirement: Summon Specialization C]
[Remarks: Voice of Shadow has no combat ability, continuously hides in the player's shadow, has an independent personality and high intelligence, and can communicate with the player. When any other player in the scenario uses a summoning skill, the Voice of Shadow can instantly sense the other party's summon and immediately establish a connection with that player's shadow (regardless of distance). As long as the connection is not interrupted, the Voice of Shadow can grasp the other party's location in real time.]
Zhaoying Wang found Feng Bujue by relying on this summon. He wasn't targeting Feng Bujue specifically, but no one else had used a summoning skill, so he couldn't track their location...
But the tracking effect on Feng Bujue had now been unexpectedly removed. The connection between the Voice of Shadow and Feng Bujue's shadow, although not displayed in the status bar of the player menu, was essentially a de-buff. And ***-500 could remove all abnormal effects, so this was naturally included.
In fact, there were several other ways to isolate oneself from the Voice of Shadow, such as finding a room with strong light on all sides and staying there for a few seconds, or using certain medical skills.
In addition... the Voice of Shadow also has a negative hidden attribute: when someone summons a Grade A or stronger summon in the scenario, the Voice of Shadow will disappear on its own due to fear... of course, Zhaoying Wang hasn't encountered this situation yet, so he doesn't know about this setting.
[Hi, I'm going to blow you up.] Feng Bujue wrote this line on a sign and walked to the ice block, specifically finding an angle that Zhaoying Wang could see, and showed it to the other party.
"Is this kid... showing off..." Zhaoying Wang thought to himself.
[In the indiscriminate melee mode, there is no penalty for force quitting, you can consider it.] Feng Bujue turned the sign over, and this line was on the back.
After seeing it, Zhaoying Wang snorted coldly in his heart: "Hmph... ridiculous, as if you can definitely blow me up."
Feng Bujue looked at him for a few seconds, and seeing that the other party didn't seem to want to force quit, he took out another sign from behind: [People always have a fluke mentality, I can understand, then you just wait, ho ho ho ho :-d]
After showing off this line, Feng Bujue turned around and went to set up the bombs with Mr. Freeze.
"Hey! He actually wrote laughter and emoticons! That's too arrogant! Death before dishonor!" Unfortunately, Zhaoying Wang's shouts could only be buried in his heart, and not a single word could be transmitted.
