Chapter 140 The Camera Speaks

Evening, 7:20 PM, the Dolphin cruise ship.

A heavy, eerie atmosphere descended upon the monitoring room.

"Just who is that guy?" One staff member looked at the screen and frowned. "Do we have a cameraman named Kevin on the crew?"

"Impossible..." Another replied. "I've been with the crew since the first season, never seen that guy before..."

"Then who is he?" Another person asked.

"You're asking me... who am I supposed to ask?"

Similar conversations rose and fell, but frankly... they were all useless.

"Alright!" Finally, the head director, who wasn't completely deaf yet, shouted loudly, quieting the room. "Can someone explain to me... why... there's a man, carrying a camera, on that supposedly sealed-off deserted island?"

He spoke with great inflection and force.

The result was... complete silence.

After about five seconds, the director sighed, breaking the silence again. "Sigh... you could at least check the footage outside the cave entrance and the surrounding area to see where he came from, right?"

He was scolding his slow-witted subordinates as if they were children.

"Quick! What are you waiting for?" After a few seconds, the first person to react shouted, "Immediately check the footage from all J-zone cameras from the last ten minutes!"

Although the person shouting wasn't anyone important, everyone did as he said.

Of course... their actions were ultimately futile. Kevin was, after all, a summoned creature. His "relatively reasonable" appearance was only for Feng Bujue's benefit. Outside of Jue-Ge's line of sight, who knew where he'd popped up from...

...

At the same time, in the cave...

"Ha! Hahahaha..." Feng Bujue laughed triumphantly as he picked up the items he'd placed on the ground one by one. "Ah~ hahaha... ah~ hahahaha..." With each item he picked up, he laughed lewdly... err... I mean... smugly.

"Cough... let... cough... me go!" Luo Han hadn't given up struggling. Even though she couldn't exert any strength because her neck was being held, she was still using her hands to attack Kevin with all her might.

However... her pounding and tearing were like scratching an itch to Kevin, completely harmless.

"Give up, you're wasting your energy." Feng Bujue put the marijuana, handcuffs, and handcuff keys back into his pockets one by one. Then, with the military shovel in his left hand and the pistol in his right, he suppressed his laughter and began to speak normally. "Even if you beat yourself to exhaustion... Kevin still won't feel a thing."

"Actually, it hurts quite a bit." At this moment, Kevin suddenly turned to look at Jue-Ge and said something...

"Good gracious!" Feng Bujue exclaimed in surprise.

Jue-Ge never expected Kevin's voice to be so shrill and ridiculously funny, like the sound of a rubber ducky toy.

"Ha... cough cough... hahahaha..." Even Luo Han, who was pinned to the ground, started laughing, which showed just how astonishing Kevin's voice was.

However, Kevin himself didn't seem to mind, maintaining a nonchalant expression.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Feng Bujue quickly regained his composure, though there was a hint of pain in that composure. "Kevin, let her go."

Upon receiving the command, Kevin obeyed without hesitation.

Luo Han sat up, rubbed her neck, and glared at Jue-Ge with a hostile gaze. However... her gaze was now devoid of confidence and held a hint of fear.

"Don't worry, Miss Luo Han, I'm not like you." Feng Bujue waved the gun in his hand and said coldly, "I'm very familiar with this thing, I guarantee I won't hit your vitals, and I won't kill you."

"Stop talking nonsense, what do you want?" Luo Han asked irritably.

"I'll give you one minute to hand over everything on your person." Feng Bujue replied. His thinking was the opposite of Luo Han's... The reason Luo Han had Jue-Ge slowly take things out was because she was afraid he would suddenly turn violent and resist. The reason Jue-Ge wanted Luo Han to hurry was because he wasn't afraid of her resisting at all.

"Hmph... what if I don't give it to you?" Luo Han snorted coldly.

"Good question." Feng Bujue replied, then gave Kevin a look. "Kevin, break her kneecaps, search her."

"You..." Luo Han only managed to utter this one syllable. Half a second later, her kneecaps were shattered...

What shattered her kneecaps wasn't anything else, but the camera Kevin was carrying on his right shoulder (he always carried the camera on his shoulder, even when he was holding Luo Han down with one hand).

"Ah—" Luo Han screamed heart-wrenchingly, the pain twisting her face and causing her body to instinctively curl up.

However, Kevin didn't care about that. He wouldn't stop until he had carried out Jue-Ge's orders. The next second, he grabbed Luo Han's shoulder, turned her over so that her back was facing up, and then he began searching for items.

There was nowhere on Luo Han's body to hide anything. The rain-soaked clothes revealed the contours of her body, so her items were undoubtedly in the pockets of those hot pants.

Seconds later, Kevin successfully found her only two items: a small plastic bag containing marijuana and a compass.

"See, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it." Feng Bujue said.

"You bastard! Scumbag!" Luo Han cursed, tears streaming down her face from the pain and regret.

"Hmm... the ravings of the defeated are always so enjoyable." Feng Bujue replied with a pleased expression to her curses. At the same time, he tucked the military shovel under his arm, freed up one hand, and took the items Kevin handed him.

After examining the two items in front of his eyes for a while (this process took about two minutes), Jue-Ge sneered. "Hmph... so you've already eliminated 'someone', haven't you?"

"None of your business!" Luo Han roared back. At this time, her excruciating pain had been somewhat alleviated. Although it still hurt a lot, the pain was within the range of tolerance if she didn't move around too much.

"Heh... even if you don't tell me, I can figure it out myself..." Feng Bujue glanced at the marijuana in his hand and smiled. "First of all, you don't seem to be suffering from any withdrawal symptoms, which means you've already used at least one joint. But... you still have three joints in this bag."

"So what?" Luo Han responded rudely. "I successfully found multiple marijuana stashes, is that not allowed?"

"That's impossible." Feng Bujue replied decisively. "The first stash was a special case, it was intentionally arranged by the production team for us to find. But the rest... I'm afraid it won't be that simple." He looked at Luo Han and shook his head. "You yourself said that you're not competing for 'survival and challenges', so why would you look for stashes..."

As Jue-Ge said this, he weighed the compass in his hand and opened its cover. "And look at this compass... heh... the needle inside is completely off, the zeroing hasn't been done properly." He raised his eyes to look at Luo Han. "Clearly, this was caused by someone who doesn't know how to use it messing around with it."

"Hmph... how do you know I don't know how to use it?" Luo Han still insisted.

"Do you?" Feng Bujue asked with a smile. "Then could you please explain to me, what is the 'intersection method'?"

"F*** you!" That was Luo Han's answer.

"Hahaha..." Jue-Ge laughed a few times and continued, "Alright, let's get back to the topic... why would someone who doesn't know how to use a compass be carrying a compass?" He paused for two seconds and answered himself, "Combining the amount of marijuana you have, it's not hard to guess... you've already robbed another contestant. Moreover, this happened at the beginning of the game, when the other party had just found the marijuana stash."

At this point, Jue-Ge stuffed the marijuana and compass into his pockets and re-equipped the military shovel. "I think... after you found your own marijuana stash, you immediately deduced that the other players' starting situations were the same as yours. So, you quickly moved in an arc along the outer edge of the island, trying to do some robbing. As a result, you actually found someone—someone who received a compass as their initial item." Jue-Ge raised his head and licked his lips. "Who could it be..."

His mind worked quickly, filtering through the ten players using the process of elimination in three seconds: besides Luo Han herself and the Stephen Carbon I'm playing... first, we can eliminate Bu Bo, his initial item was a weapon and his strategy was similar to Luo Han's, so it couldn't be him. And O Guanhai and Yisite Gu were eliminated by me, so they can also be eliminated. So the remaining people who could have been robbed by Luo Han are... Gai Mao, Ba Feite, Luosi Chai'erde, and Lienong these five.

Luo Han is still young, her physical strength is definitely not bad, and her speed in finding the initial stash must be better than average. Subtracting the time she spent on the road... then... the person who was robbed must be very slow. Only in this way would the robbed person be at their own stash, and have not yet used the marijuana, and be robbed by her.

"Hmm... is it really Ba Feite?" After thinking for a while, Feng Bujue intentionally or unintentionally whispered this sentence.

Luo Han's eyes changed obviously upon hearing this.

This detail, of course, did not escape Jue-Ge's wretched... err... sharp gaze.

"Ha! It really is Ba Feite." Feng Bujue smiled.

Luo Han said in a deep voice, "How would you know..."

"Actually, I was just guessing." Feng Bujue replied. "But your reaction confirmed it for me."

This... was a bit of a stretch.

Jue-Ge's reasoning naturally couldn't have been "just guessing". The main reason he said this was because he didn't want to reveal too much information.

In fact, Feng Bujue ultimately locked onto only two targets, one was Ba Feite, and the other was Luosi Chai'erde. These two... due to their age and physique, were inevitably slower than the other players. And they both seemed like the type who would choose a compass as their initial item, so... they were also the most likely victims to be robbed by Luo Han.

"Hmph... alright, telling you won't hurt." Luo Han replied, "That's right, this afternoon, I robbed Ba Feite of his marijuana and compass, forced him to smash his own kneecaps with a rock, and then he withdrew from the game." She tilted her head, "Originally, you would have suffered the same fate, Mr. Carbon..." She glanced at Kevin. "Until your helper came to ruin the situation."

"I see..." Feng Bujue nodded, thinking, "That means... my opponents... there are currently five people left."

For some reason, at this moment... a faint sense of unease sprouted in Jue-Ge's heart.

"Something's not quite right..." He pursed his lips, frowning in thought. "This script seems to have a difficult dual main quest—[Survive on Cannabis Island for Seventy-Two Hours] and [Complete at Least Six Challenges Given by the Production Team], but... the elimination speed seems a little too fast... at this rate, the survivor can be determined in less than twenty-four hours..."

Thinking of this, Feng Bujue was shocked, he suddenly realized... the "real difficulty" of this nightmare script.
