Chapter 15 Fifteen Minutes Ago, Reality, Reasoning Club

Fifteen minutes ago, in the real world, the Reasoning Club.

At this moment, the four players were still locked in the iron cage, leaning against it in a disoriented manner, remaining in a state of unconsciousness.

This state was neither sleep nor coma, but a process similar to "awake dreaming." Their eyes were open, and their brains were running at high speed, but they could not hear, see, or feel that they were in an iron cage, because their consciousness was imprisoned elsewhere.

The iron cage was suspended in mid-air, surrounded by six rows of bookshelves that fit tightly together, forming a hexagonal (or hexagonal) area.

Each side of the area was about 2.5 meters long, and each bookshelf was about 7.5 meters high. The distance between the top of the bookshelf and the ceiling was to leave room for the chandelier.

Both sides of the bookshelves were filled with books, separated by partitions in the middle. Even if the books were taken out, one could not see the space next door, only the partitions. If the players actually climbed up the bookshelves, they would find... that around this hexagonal area, there were six identical hexagonal areas tightly attached, and outside these six hexagons, there was another circle, a total of twelve hexagonal areas.

And so on...

Looking down from the height of the ceiling, the Reasoning Club was like a honeycomb made of bookshelves. Each hexagonal area surrounded by bookshelves was like a cell in the honeycomb.

And how big was the Reasoning Club?

Anyway, looking from the top of the bookshelf, you couldn't see the edge of this "honeycomb" at all...

At this moment, not far from the players, a giraffe was wandering in front of a bookshelf.

"Hmm... where did I see this one last time..." The giraffe even had a pair of glasses on its nose, and it was talking to itself.

"It's really not easy to find you." Suddenly, a low, hoarse male voice sounded from behind the giraffe.

"Oh? It's you... a rare guest." The giraffe didn't even turn its head to look, it already knew who the owner of the voice was.

The next second, the giraffe began to "change." In about three seconds, it first turned into a blurred mass of pixels, then changed shape, size, and color, and finally became clear again, turning into a man.

And the image it transformed into was none other than Professor Moriarty, whom Feng Bujue and the others had seen.

"I heard that the Master of Time and the Court of Truth are looking for you and your little friends..." The giraffe, now transformed, continued, "You wouldn't have run here to take refuge, would you... Billy?" His voice had also become exactly like Moriarty's.

The Billy Puppet was still the same as ever. He was wearing a black suit, a red bow tie, sitting on a very small tricycle, and his face... was naturally still that terrifying white face. "Of course not, everyone knows that Zhuan Xie Zun is absolutely neutral, how could he take in a big troublemaker like me?"

"Heh..." Zhuan Xie Zun laughed, "Then why are you here?" Without any murderous intent, he added a sentence full of killing intent, "Could it be that you have already joined the Head of All Demons and want to expand my Reasoning Club into his territory?"

"Even if I have been chased to the point of desperation, I will not join that guy." Billy replied, "Becoming his subordinate is more dangerous than surrendering myself." He paused, then continued, "I'm here this time just to ask you to do me a small favor... just a little effort."

"Interesting..." Zhuan Xie Zun said, "You're asking me, which means you can't do it yourself, ha... then how can it be a small matter?"

Billy replied, "I just want to ask you to let the few interdimensional travelers in that cage out."

"Out?" Zhuan Xie Zun said, "You mean... let them leave the Reasoning Club?"

"That's right." Billy said.

"It's not that I don't want to let them go, but..." Zhuan Xie Zun said slowly, "If they want to leave, they must at least escape from..." He pointed to his head with his finger, "...from my brain."

"Don't worry." Billy's face always had the same expression, "With 'that person' here, they will definitely escape."

"Oh? Are there any of your friends among these four interdimensional travelers?" Zhuan Xie Zun asked.

"Not really friends, just had a few encounters and owe him a favor." Billy replied, "I know he will definitely escape your inner world. I also know that once he and his companions come out, you will attack... so..."

"I see." Zhuan Xie Zun said, "You want to take this opportunity to help him out, consider it as settling the debt." As he said this, his appearance changed again, becoming Sherlock Holmes.

Zhuan Xie Zun said in a British accent, "Indeed... for me, this is a piece of cake. Anyway, they are all 'sending guests', sending them out, and sending them 'out to their deaths', are the same thing, but..." He took a puff of his pipe, "Why should I do as you say?" He shrugged, "We don't have any friendship, and you don't have the ability to threaten me with force, but I have heard some rumors about your cunning..." His tone remained unchanged, very relaxed, but the content of his words gradually became dangerous, "You broke into my territory and told me what to do, I don't care. But what if this is your trick, and you want to use this to make me have a misunderstanding with a certain Four Pillars God..."

"If you don't want to do as I say." Billy interrupted, "Just pretend I wasn't here, and just kill them according to your own preferences. Actually, I just came along the way." He said in an indifferent tone, "It's easy to repay this favor, I'll have other opportunities in the future. To be honest... it doesn't matter even if I don't repay it."

Billy turned the front of the tricycle, as if he was about to leave, "Well... excuse me, goodby..."

"Wait." Zhuan Xie Zun stopped him, "Since that's the case, I have a suggestion."

Billy looked up and said, "Please speak."

"I can help you with this 'piece of cake'." Zhuan Xie Zun said, "As long as... you tell me some information that I'm interested in." He tilted his head and smiled, "For you, it's just moving your lips, you don't even need to lift a finger."

"What do you want to ask?" Billy replied coldly.

"I heard... that you have been getting very close to those Derivants in the 'Inner World' recently." Zhuan Xie Zun said, "Coincidentally, one of their members visited my inner world not long ago and took away a *** item." After saying this, he changed his form again.

This time, Zhuan Xie Zun's appearance became Little Red Riding Hood, and "her" voice also became a female voice, "I just want to ask... do you know about the legendary—'No. 0 Derivant'?"
