Chapter 1 The Arrival of the Lego Avengers

The arrival of the Lego Avengers effectively brought the situation under control. As the saying goes, even a mighty dragon can't suppress a local snake. Even though Classic and the three from Novel were strong, they couldn't just start a huge fight with the Lego main force in Lego's territory. Therefore, after Captain America's flying shield and a loud shout, everyone stopped fighting.

Then, Tony slowly descended from mid-air and, in a calm tone, issued an order for the three from Novel to leave. The latter were also sensible and immediately sheathed their swords and left. Under the circumstances, they were already getting off easy by escaping unscathed.

After the three from Novel turned and embarked on their journey to find the lost green algae head, Tony spoke to Jazz, "I know Optimus Prime sent you here. I think... there's some misunderstanding between Classic and Lego that needs to be cleared up."

"If you trust us, come inside the Lego House and we can discuss it further," Steve (Lego Captain America) said.

"No problem," Jazz replied. He knew very well that if these Lego toys really wanted to harm them, they could have attacked just now and wouldn't have bothered driving the people from Novel away.

"We won't go," Leonardo said to Jazz and Nightwatch at this moment. "Negotiation is your job. We'll go back and report to Optimus Prime first."

"Oh? Not going to continue monitoring us?" Feng Bujue asked. As Jian Xin had said, Brother Jue had already figured out the existence of the Ninja Turtles on the way here, and he had also deduced the purpose of their coming along.

"Now that you know, there's no point in monitoring," Donatello spread his hands and said. "At least based on your current behavior, you don't seem to be Novel's moles."

Raphael snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "In my opinion, even if you were... you wouldn't be much of a threat."

"Could you help me ask Optimus Prime..." Feng Bujue said with a smile, "How many more of these tests are going to be conducted?" In fact, he wasn't surprised or displeased by the situation. As the supreme commander of Classic, if Optimus Prime completely trusted two strangers of unknown origin after only one or two tests, that would be a problem. If Feng Bujue were in his place, he would make the same choice.

Of course, Feng Bujue didn't know that on the Novel side, the girls received unconditional trust. There was no testing whatsoever. Since the system had intervened, the command of the army was easily within their grasp.

"You can ask him that question in person," Leonardo replied. As he spoke, he gestured to his turtle brothers, "Let's go."

...

A few minutes later, led by the Lego Avengers, Jazz, Nightwatch, Feng Bujue, and Wang Tanzhi smoothly passed through the checkpoint at the main entrance of the Lego House and entered the "city" built from Lego bricks.

As soon as they entered the city, Little Tan, the young rich second generation, acted like a bumpkin on a foreign tour. He looked at the Lego-made roads, buildings, flowers, trees, rivers, vehicles, and pedestrians... He looked left and right, shouting and making a fuss, and almost rushed up to take a few bricks down to play with.

"Um... right, there's a question I've been wanting to ask you," Feng Bujue said to Jazz, who was slightly ahead on the side.

"What is it?"

"How did this war between Classic and Novel start?" Feng Bujue asked. "Or rather... what are you fighting for?"

"Uh..." Jazz was at a loss for words. He looked like he'd been stumped by the question. "It's... to win, of course."

"Then what counts as winning?" Feng Bujue pressed. "Wiping out all the other side's toys?"

"This..." Jazz's reaction to this question was the same as to the previous one. "Anyway... we're all fighting for victory, following the orders of our superiors, and following Optimus Prime's leadership. We don't need to think about anything else."

"Hey... isn't this the same as..." Little Tan seemed to want to say something.

But Brother Jue immediately gave him a look and cleared his throat loudly, signaling him not to say it.

Little Tan had no choice but to swallow the words "Isn't this the same as not answering anything?"

Feng Bujue continued to ask, "Right, speaking of fighting... I also saw the Nintendo assault team exchanging fire with the other side." He paused. "Those toys that were killed, that is... those that were cut in half, beheaded, or crushed, should be considered 'dead,' right?"

"Yes," Nightwatch, who was on the side, also turned his head and joined the conversation. "You wouldn't die if you were beaten like that?"

"I just want to know... who handles their... um... corpses? If they're left there, the supermarket security guards will find them before dawn," Feng Bujue said. "Also, you've been fighting this war for more than just a day or two, right? Since there are casualties... there must also be channels for replenishing troops, otherwise the soldiers will die out." He asked, "So where do your soldiers come from? Not from supermarket restocking, right?"

These questions were indeed very puzzling. Feng Bujue had previously raised questions about the supermarket's surveillance cameras. Logically speaking... it was almost impossible for these toys' battles not to be discovered by humans. In addition, the "death" of toys was an even more serious problem. How could it not be noticed that the inventory of Novel's figurines and models was decreasing? And how could Classic's antiques still be in production in the twenty-second century? Could it be that the humans in this scenario knew that these toys were fighting, but pretended not to know and were silently maintaining the feasibility of the war?

"Humans don't care about the fragments on the battlefield," Jazz replied. "As long as we're not seen by them when we're active. As for the issue of troop replenishment... it's classified. I'm not authorized to answer you."

"Hmm..." Feng Bujue thought to himself, "Still the same as saying nothing." He quickly organized his thoughts. "This war... has no purpose, only a process. These toys have intelligence and long-term memory, but there seems to be a blind spot in their thinking. As soon as it involves the rationality of the war itself or information about potential threats from humans, their thinking bypasses it..."

At this moment, Little Tan said softly to Feng Bujue, "Brother Jue, could it be that... the situation in this scenario is similar to *Night at the Museum*, where there's a Pharaoh's resurrection tablet hidden somewhere in this supermarket that takes effect at night, bringing the toys to life to fight? And the night watchman also knows about this and has covered it up."

"You're talking about Ahkmenrah's tablet, right..." Feng Bujue also said in a low voice, "But that kind of thing wouldn't just bring toys to life, right... Mannequins, animal specimens, even skeleton models would be affected. So... it shouldn't be." He denied Little Tan's speculation.

"Hmm..." Little Tan said thoughtfully, "There's also the matter... Judging from the content discussed at the First Army's meeting, it's impossible for this war to be decided overnight, right?" He said in a doubtful tone, "We're logging into the game in non-sleep mode, and at most, we won't even get to the second night. And these toys... can't even explain the reason or purpose of the war. How can that side quest be completed?"

"I'm also completely puzzled by this question..." Feng Bujue replied. "I speculate... that there's a hidden worldview in this scenario. Therefore, the initial plot introduction didn't mention anything about our current situation, but only introduced the general era and location where things happened. And the causes and consequences, as well as the related characters, are all unknown." His gaze swept over the toys leading the way in front of him. "Maybe... we've been misled by the content of the side quest. Even if we do a hundred things for Classic, it'll be a waste of time."

"Then how about..." Little Tan lowered his voice again, as if he were doing something guilty, "We find a chance to slip away?"

"Slip away to where?" Feng Bujue said. "Do you have a direction for investigation?"

"Um..." Little Tan stammered for a long time, but couldn't think of anything. "Actually... we don't need to crack any worldview. It doesn't matter whether we do the side quest or not. Isn't this a slaughter game? And it's mainly arranged for me to fight more, right?"

Feng Bujue smiled noncommittally when he heard this, "Then we'll just play it by ear."

As they spoke, the Lego Avengers had led them to a building in the center of the city.

The door here was quite wide for the Lego Q-version heroes. It was just right for the two Transformers to pass through, but if a toy of Optimus Prime's size wanted to enter, he would have to bend over.

Following the group in front, the two players quickly passed through the gate. After entering the house, they realized that the space inside the building was not as narrow as they had imagined. And in the center of this space, there was a huge rhombus floating in mid-air, emitting a strange light.

This rhombus was estimated to be the size of a normal human head, and its constituent materials were naturally Lego bricks. However, the bricks on the rhombus were constantly in a state of activity, and the color of its surface changed like waves.

"You've finally arrived... Classic's Jazz, Nightwatch, and... two travelers from another world." A voice came from the rhombus, sounding like a wise old man. "Tony and Bruce had some differences on whether to bring you to see me, so there was some delay and we couldn't greet you at the first opportunity."

"This is our first meeting, and you're actually saying words like 'travelers from another world.'" Feng Bujue didn't care whether he was qualified to speak on this occasion and stepped forward to interrupt. "May I ask, who are you?"

"Don't be so rude, recruit," Jazz said, turning his head. "The one in front of you is the all-knowing 'Lego Prophet.' Even Optimus Prime wouldn't use this tone..."

"It's all right, Jazz," the Lego Prophet interrupted Jazz and then said to Feng Bujue, "I think... you must have many questions to ask me."
