Chapter 1 The Accomplishment

With sixteen minutes left until the poison took effect, Feng Bujue finally obtained the [Contra Medal], which had been modified by Billy, Alden, and Rabbit. The effects of the item remained the same, but the "Can be taken out of the script?" option was now "Yes," and there was only one.

Having gained a tangible benefit, Feng Bujue wore a satisfied expression and picked up the [One-Hit Kill Pistol] on the table again, saying, "I have one more thing to confirm. Just in case, I mean, just in case… if I get insta-killed by Faust the moment I step out, this medal will immediately activate and revive me, right?"

"That's right. As long as you have this medal, whether you're inside or outside the door, inside or outside the prison, even in the territory of the other Four Pillar Gods, as long as you die, it will immediately take effect and revive you on the spot at full health," Rabbit replied.

Billy added, "Don't worry, we'll go out with you when you open the door. We'll help you block Faust's attacks. All you have to do is raise your gun, aim at him, and pull the trigger. I'll keep empowering this gun with maximum destructive power, one bullet will be enough to solve it."

Alden continued, "After killing him, you take the antidote and teleport away, and we'll escape the cycle and get out of the prison."

Billy said, "Then you and us will go our separate ways, not interfering with each other, and no one will owe anyone anything."

"Well, that's exactly what I want." Feng Bujue smiled and summarized, "Although you used a deceptive scheme to guide me at the beginning, I think that was all due to our lack of understanding and trust in each other… But now, we have clarified our respective goals and reached a win-win deal. Judging from your words and deeds, I think you are all very honest and noble gentlemen who wouldn't do the kind of backstabbing I assumed earlier, right?"

"Alright, stop your nonsense!" Rabbit said impatiently. "Do you have victim complex? There's not much time left, you've got your reward, so hurry up and do what you're supposed to do!"

"No problem, I'll set off now." Feng Bujue turned around and was surprised to find that all four corridor entrances had disappeared, replaced by a wall, with a large door in the center.

"Don't be surprised, the appearance and size of space are just a formality." Billy's voice rang out as the iron door of the cell creaked open.

Feng Bujue turned his head and found that the puppet had somehow sat on a small tricycle, pedaling slowly to his side. Rabbit also came out of the second cell, and he and Alden were both looking at Feng Bujue, waiting for this traveler from another world to step forward and open the door.

Feng Bujue glanced at the three of them, shrugged, and walked forward.

…………

The door opened, and one human and three monsters entered one after another, entering a monotonous gray space.

Faust stood about ten meters away from the door, resembling a man in ancient Roman armor. His armor, skin, pupils, hair, and everything else were all cement-gray. If he didn't turn his neck to look over here, he would look just like a statue.

"As expected…" Faust said, "Traveler from another world, you've sided with the prisoners, have you?"

"Oh?" Feng Bujue immediately deduced a lot of things upon hearing this sentence, "So, like you and the others, you got the antidote before I came to the prison, and you also knew about my situation?"

"That's right." Faust replied, "I also roughly guessed that you would side with them. With your own strength, it's impossible to snatch the antidote from them and find the door out." He paused, "So… no matter what you experienced in the prison, when you came to me, you would definitely be in a state of hostility."

"Good that you understand." Feng Bujue raised his gun, his eyes filled with killing intent, and his hand gripping the gun was firm and strong.

Bang—the gun fired.

Rabbit was headshot again.

Everyone except Feng Bujue was shocked, even Faust asked in his heart, "What's going on?"

After shooting Rabbit at close range, Feng Bujue didn't stop and aimed the gun at Billy again. This time he fired continuously, shooting several bullets in succession. In the midst of shock and anger, Billy's reaction was still very fast. He immediately made the gun in Feng Bujue's hand disappear, and the trajectories of the bullets were all deflected. But even so, because the distance was too close and Billy's physical skills were almost zero, and Feng Bujue's betrayal was unannounced and extremely sudden, Billy's right abdomen was still hit by a bullet, causing him to be injured.

"You…" Billy said viciously, "Alden! Kill…"

He couldn't finish the sentence, because an unparalleled monstrous evil force swept out from Feng Bujue's body, a scene that was enough to silence and frighten a monster of Billy's level.

"Hmph… seems like it was successfully activated…" Feng Bujue muttered with a cold smile. At the instant the gun disappeared, he had already activated his only killing move—[Xie Wang Yan Sha Hei Long Bo] (Evil King's Flaming Kill Black Dragon Wave).

Feng Bujue's Spiritual Art specialization was E, and the success rate of activating this skill was 40%, but because of the [Tenacity of the Ice Refining Warlock] buff, the activation success rate of all his active skills would increase by 10%… In short, success or failure was a fifty-fifty chance.

An extremely dark evil aura bloomed from Feng Bujue's right arm, spreading and enveloping his entire body. He was surrounded by a wave-like vortex of energy, and the Hei Long Bo was about to burst forth.

This ultimate technique of the Evil King's Flaming Kill Fist, even before the move was unleashed, before the dragon moved, had the aura of an impending storm. Leaving aside the user's level, the power of the move itself was absolutely unmatched.

Feng Bujue separated his legs, adopting a horse stance, pressed his left hand on his right shoulder, and straightened his right arm horizontally, with his five fingers slightly curved into a palm… Then, a dragon's roar was heard, and a unique move suddenly appeared. A black flame dragon formed from energy emerged, opening its giant mouth and swallowing the puppet riding on the tricycle.

This move was the fastest, the strongest, and it was also a homing attack. Billy was intimidated by the evil force before he could even summon it, and couldn't escape at all. Even Alden, who was standing next to him, felt unable to move.

[Your item Contra Medal has been consumed]

This time the medal was really used up. The cost of the Hei Long Bo was "100% of Survival Value." The move activated at this cost was indeed astonishing. Billy, who had already been tricked, was unable to resist and was blasted into dust.

After Feng Bujue killed Billy, he was also swallowed by the black flames, but he immediately revived on the spot at full health and looked at the last remaining Alden with a smug look, saying, "Before you rush over here in anger and impulsively kill me…" He slowly retreated and shamelessly stood next to Faust, "You'd better consider the current situation…" He smiled, "I remember Billy said that among the three of you, only he in his strongest state could surpass Faust… so, if I were you, I wouldn't come here to die in vain, but would choose to retreat back to the prison in your current state, ready to welcome a certain monster that will be refreshed in soon."

Faust seemed to have belatedly understood the situation in front of him, he turned to look at Feng Bujue beside him and said sincerely, "You are really insidious…"

"You fooled, deceived, and used us…" Alden said through gritted teeth.

"Didn't you do this to me first?" Feng Bujue said, "It's just that you weren't good enough and failed. And I demonstrated the correct way to do it to you."

"You even used the gun we gave you, the medal we gave you, to deal with us…"

"Well… you are indeed all honest and noble gentlemen, who almost revealed all the information I wanted to know during the negotiation process… such as your abilities, the principles of these items, and the comparison of your strength with Faust." Feng Bujue continued, "And you even gave me what I wanted first, giving me full confidence to carry out this plan."

"You dirty, despicable, evil…" Even when Alden was cursing, he was very particular about the accuracy and civility of his wording, it seems that he was not designed with the ability to swear.

"Alright, Alden." Faust interrupted, "The hatred between you and this traveler from another world has nothing to do with me. But I have my responsibilities. Now, I order you to return to your cell, otherwise I will have to personally send you back."

Alden's ghostly blue eyes gradually dimmed. His gaze lingered on Feng Bujue for a long time, as if he wanted to engrave this person's image in his eyes forever. A dozen seconds later, he reluctantly retreated back into the prison door, and the door closed again…

"Phew…" Feng Bujue let out a long sigh of relief after seeing Alden leave. As soon as he inhaled his second breath, he opened his mouth to Faust very pragmatically, "Excuse me, that bottle of 'chemical potion of unknown composition' you have…"

"Understood… understood…" Faust stretched out a hand and handed the potion to Feng Bujue.

When Feng Bujue received the item, he received a system prompt:

[Main Quest Progress Updated]

[Find Chemical Potion (4/4)]

[Current quest completed, main quest updated]

The new quest in the game menu was: [Combine the chemical potions of unknown composition (A) (B) (C) (D) into an antidote to remove the toxins]

The system voice paused for two seconds and continued: [Do you need to combine specific quest items?]

Feng Bujue clicked Confirm in the pop-up menu in front of him. The other three bottles of potion in his inventory immediately disappeared, and the bottle in his hand turned into a white light. After the data was reorganized, it became a new item: [Antidote].

Feng Bujue didn't drink the potion immediately, but said to Faust, "I say… Big Brother, I helped you solve this prison break, don't you have anything to offer?" As he spoke, he looked up at Faust.

But the prison guard in front of Feng Bujue froze in place, as if he had been paused. Upon closer inspection, this Faust had really turned into a statue.

"You didn't help me with anything, you only helped yourself." Faust's voice came from another direction.

Feng Bujue turned his head upon hearing the sound and found another Faust, who was emitting a silver light, walking towards him.

"It's the same no matter which side you're on, they can't escape at all." Faust said, "They just come here again and again to kill the clay puppets I make."

"You…" Feng Bujue's expression changed slightly as he pondered, "I understand… there's no such thing as the Time Lord's curse at all, you've been causing trouble here from beginning to end."

"Hmph… that's only natural." Faust sneered, "How could the master let a prison guard who is weaker than the prisoners guard the prison." He walked up to Feng Bujue and continued, "This clay puppet is made of special magic materials…" Faust patted the gray statue that looked exactly like him, "My own strength is naturally impossible to be below Billy. In terms of one-on-one combat, none of them are my opponents. But… if the three of them join forces, it would indeed be more troublesome…"

"So you set a trap…" Feng Bujue took a few steps, tilted his head, and looked at the gray Faust statue with great interest, "The person who 'kills' this clay puppet will have their power taken away, right?"

Faust's gaze followed Feng Bujue closely, as he moved, Faust also slightly turned his body, becoming back-to-back with the prison door.

"In fact… it doesn't matter who kills the clay puppet. As long as this clay puppet is destroyed, everyone in the 'door space' will have their power taken away." Faust said, "So, I have always been outside this space, remotely controlling the clay puppet to fight them, and they have always naively believed that the clay puppet is me."

"Hehe… every time they kill the clay puppet, their power will return to a very weak state, so the real me can send them back to their cells effortlessly."

"After several times, they will naturally be confused by this phenomenon…" Feng Bujue followed the other party's words and added a sentence.

Faust continued, "That's right, so I made up a so-called 'reincarnation' theory. I told them that this is the Time Lord's curse. No matter how many times they kill me, it's useless, they will only fall into a new reincarnation." He spread his hands, "I used this method to solve their frequent prison breaks. As for the other work here, it's relatively easy, just throwing a monster in from time to time to make sure there's something to 'accompany' them."

"Hmm…" Feng Bujue licked his lips, "It seems… that when it comes to being insidious, you're also quite skilled."

"Is that sarcasm?" Faust snorted coldly, "Hmph… when it comes to deception, I seem to be a little worse than you, right?"

"Hehehe… hahahaha…" Feng Bujue raised his head and laughed, looking like a madman.

Suddenly, the laughter stopped abruptly, and a grim smile remained on his face: "No… it's not a little worse, it's far worse."

At this moment, Faust's expression was stunned, and he suddenly realized that he was feeling a bone-chilling cold in many parts of his body. Looking down, clusters of black shadows had bound his neck, wrists, knees, and other parts…

"You better not move, your blood is flowing in my veins." Alden's voice rang in Faust's ear.

At the same time, the creaking sound of a tricycle moving came from behind him…

The puppet Billy slowly rode the tricycle in front of Faust, raised his sinister face, and calmly asked, "Have you ever been kicked in the face by a furry animal using its hind legs?"

"Wh…" When Faust heard this question, he realized something and turned his face around…

He saw Rabbit jumping two meters high, spinning in the air, using his thick rabbit hind legs to deliver a spinning kick to Faust's face, and shouting, "I-yah—"
