Chapter 1 You Saw What?

Feng Bujue turned his head at the sound, and a man in a black suit had already entered the room.

It was a man who looked to be about forty years old, with neat short hair and graying temples, but no signs of baldness on his forehead.

The suit he was wearing looked crisp and sharp, as if it had just been taken off the ironing board, complementing his tall and sturdy figure.

Chee-- Clang.

Two seconds later, the electronic door closed automatically again.

The suit-clad man's footsteps, his gaze... all paused at that moment.

"Then..." Dr. Cox said immediately, turning her gaze to the man in the suit, "I'll leave the rest to you." She said hurriedly, glancing at Jue-ge one last time, and then... ended the communication.

As the "video wall" transformed back into a colorless metal wall, the room... was enveloped in silence.

Inside, two men stood facing each other.

They were about three meters apart, silently staring at each other.

Feng Bujue's expression looked relaxed, a faint smile playing on the corners of his lips, but his eyes always held a hint of sharpness.

The suit-clad man, on the other hand, wore an iron mask, without any emotional fluctuations... even Jue-ge couldn't infer anything from his expression.

"What did you see?" Finally, the suit-clad man broke the silence, asking first.

His voice was slightly hoarse, but gave a sense of stability and reliability.

As for the question he asked... it seemed a little nonsensical to others, but Jue-ge understood what the other party was referring to as soon as he heard it.

"I can't see anything." The next second, Feng Bujue replied without thinking.

"Is that so?" the suit-clad man said.

"Yes," Feng Bujue said.

"Even if I'm talking to you now, it's the same?" the suit-clad man asked.

"The same," Jue-ge replied, "Observing you... is not as good as observing a statue; at least a statue contains a lot of the creator's thoughts and emotions."

After receiving this answer, the suit-clad man was silent for a moment.

Then, he said again, "Do you know what I saw?"

"Heh..." Feng Bujue chuckled, "Tell me."

"I saw a cloud of mist," the suit-clad man continued, "In the center of the mist, there's a person I don't understand; because this person has been dealing with that mist for years, he has adapted to moving in it, and that's why... he can make everyone who wants to spy on him return empty-handed."

At this point, you must have understood that what they were asking and saying was their first impression of each other.

"Hmm..." Hearing this, Feng Bujue tilted his head, sneering, "May I ask, what's your honorable name?"

He deliberately spoke in a refined manner, wanting to test whether the other party could understand.

"You can call me 'Agent-d19', or..." The suit-clad man not only understood Jue-ge's words, but didn't find anything awkward about them, "...Sir."

"Okay, d19..." Feng Bujue continued, "You can call me Feng Bujue, or... um... anything is fine."

While saying this, Jue-ge was still thinking about other things in his heart--"This guy didn't show any confusion about my way of speaking and the content of my speech, and the speed of his response is also quite fast. From this, two assumptions can be made... first, he himself is proficient in Chinese; second, at this moment, he is being interfered with by the system and doesn't know it."

On the other hand, d19 still kept a straight face, continuing in an almost unchanged tone, "Feng Bujue, next, I will interrogate you."

He didn't try to probe Jue-ge any further, but directly stated what he was going to do next.

Feng Bujue understood this situation, he knew... people who did this often firmly believed that they could gain a "dominant position" in the interrogation.

So, Jue-ge immediately asked, "I guess your interrogation will involve violence, right?"

"Of course," d19 said, suddenly raising a fist and punching Feng Bujue in the face.

Unexpectedly, at this moment... Jue-ge suddenly lowered his head and charged forward, using a headbutt to actively meet the other party's fist.

Kaka Kaka--

Immediately afterwards, a series of very obvious sounds of human bones breaking rang out.

"I see..." When d19 retracted his hand, his expression finally changed slightly, "You're indeed not an ordinary character..."

He was right... ordinary people would indeed not use their heads to hit fists.

"Overpraise~ Overpraise~" Feng Bujue endured the pain in his forehead, forcing a smile, and said to d19, "I think you're more amazing... several fingers are fractured, but you didn't even hum." His eyes changed slightly, and his tone sharpened, "Come to think of it... you're not a normal person either, are you?"

"I have indeed survived some 'accidents' caused by certain projects," d19 said bluntly, "and after 'being exposed to multiple projects', I gained some special abilities."

"Oh? Multiple projects?" Jue-ge raised his eyebrows and asked, "For example?"

"I can't say," d19 replied.

"Tch... I knew that would be the answer." Feng Bujue spat and muttered disdainfully.

Bang--

Before he finished speaking, d19 actually swung the injured hand again and punched him...

At this distance, even with the assistance of Zero Time Difference Calculation, Jue-ge didn't have time to use the same strategy as before... so, with his hands cuffed, he could only use his torso to withstand it.

"Damn it... what's going on with this guy..." After being punched, Feng Bujue couldn't help but curse in his heart, "He can still use such great strength with fractured fingers, it's hitting me so hard that my chest wall is damaged..."

The force transmitted by this punch was indeed astonishing... if Feng Bujue was still in a state where his abilities were restricted (referring to the state when he first entered the script, not the state when he became a hybrid mutant), he might have been directly turned into white light.

Fortunately... Jue-ge had already lifted the restrictions, so the defense power and equipment attributes of his level 50 character were all added to the calculation; even so, that hit still dropped 13% of his survival value...

"Let me state in advance," d19 glared at Feng Bujue at this time, and said again, "My habit is to keep hitting the other party until they beg for mercy."

Bang--

What responded to him was a fierce kick.

This kick... came quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly...

Jue-ge aimed at the moment when the other party relaxed slightly because of speaking, bent over and pretended to be "badly hurt by the punch just now", and then kicked out.

In the blink of an eye! D19 was kicked in the abdomen, and then his whole body flew out; in the blink of an eye, his back slammed heavily against the wall.

"Aiya ya..." After a few seconds, Feng Bujue's mocking face returned, "It seems that your habits have to be changed."

"Ugh--" d19 groaned, seeming to want to say something.

However...

After a brief struggle, he rolled his eyes and fell face down on the ground, life or death unknown.

"Hmm... Did I use too much force by accident?" This time, Feng Bujue was a little confused, "Judging from the strength of his punches, he's already stronger than many players, I didn't expect his defense and health to be so low..."

On this matter, Jue-ge was undoubtedly a bit emotional and took things for granted; d19's resistance to blows was at most stronger than ordinary humans, there was no reason he could withstand his sudden kick containing the power of [Rankyaku].

Buzz buzz buzz--

After another ten seconds or so, the wall on one side of the room transformed into a display screen again, and Dr. Cox also appeared in the picture.

"As expected, you're a dangerous element." Looking at Agent d19 lying on the ground, Cox's attitude seemed very calm, and this "calmness" made Feng Bujue smell a conspiracy.

"Hey hey... it looks like I'm just acting in self-defense," Feng Bujue shrugged and replied, "I'm the one being beaten while wearing handcuffs."

"The 'danger' I'm talking about is physiological," Cox continued, "Your subjective emotions are not within the scope of consideration."

"Heh... I wondered what you were going to say." Feng Bujue sneered, "Then you should say I'm 'powerful', not 'dangerous'."

"It's the same to us." Cox said, picking up the coffee cup on her desk and taking a leisurely sip, before continuing, "All I want is 'data'."

"Data..." Feng Bujue looked at the screen and murmured, "So... this is a 'test' for me?" As he said, he turned to look at Agent d19, who was already lying face down and no longer moving, "If you want to do that kind of thing, you can use D-level personnel... or use instruments to test, why bother using..."

"Who told you..." At this moment, Dr. Cox interrupted Jue-ge's words, "That that was Agent d19?"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Feng Bujue's expression changed slightly, "Don't tell me... this so-called agent is actually a D-level person in disguise?"

Regarding this conjecture, Jue-ge himself thought it was unlikely.

Because "d19's" temperament, conversation, and the power he released when he punched, all showed that he was not a mediocre person.

"No, he's not a D-level person," Dr. Cox quickly added, "but..."

Clang--

Chee--

Before she could finish her explanation, the door to the room opened again.

The person who walked in this time... was actually a man who looked exactly like d19.

"You're quite heavy-handed... Feng Bujue." The new d19 who walked in was exactly the same as the one Jue-ge had knocked down, and his clothes were also completely identical.

"Ho~" When Jue-ge saw the second d19 and heard his words, he instantly understood a lot of things, "Could it be... you have the ability to 'duplicate' yourself?"

"Sorry," d19 replied, "Still can't say."

Although he didn't say anything, when Jue-ge said the words "duplicate," he still glanced at the "other d19" on the ground with a pretended casual look.

And this fleeting action... completely fell into Jue-ge's eyes.

"So... are you going to continue the interrogation?" Feng Bujue didn't expose what he saw and thought, he just continued to say to d19 with that attitude of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

"No, there was never any interrogation," d19 replied.

"We're just putting on a show for you," Dr. Cox took over the conversation.

"Oh?" Feng Bujue looked suspicious, "From what time did this start? Could it be... your previous flirtatious behavior, and then your anger..."

"Yes, that's also an important part of the test," Cox interrupted Jue-ge again, "We have to make you feel like you've seen through everything and controlled the situation." She paused, "And your subsequent performance... whether it's the 'wisdom' you showed when dealing with me, or the 'martial power' you showed when attacked by the agent, is what we want to see."

Her words were by no means an afterthought, just listening to her tone, you could tell that everything was indeed within her plan.

Therefore, hearing this, Feng Bujue also felt a nameless fire rising in his heart...

"Okay, your performance is impressive." On the other side, d19 stepped forward again at this time, making a "please" gesture towards Jue-ge, "Please... Feng Bujue."

The direction his hand indicated was clearly the door of the room.

"What? Have you suddenly decided to take me to another place?" Feng Bujue asked.

D19's attitude was as cold as ever, "It wasn't a sudden decision." He replied seriously, "Before I even came to this room, your next stop had already been determined."

"Heh..." Feng Bujue smiled casually, and turned his gaze back to the d19 who was beaten into a dog eating mud on the ground, "It seems that I have no way to refuse..." He suppressed the anger in his heart, and decided to cooperate with the other party.

Soon, Feng Bujue obediently left the room with handcuffs on, escorted by d19.

As for the d19 who was knocked down on the ground, he was just left in the room...

According to Jue-ge's speculation, the process of the real d19 creating this "clone" must be relatively easy, otherwise he wouldn't have put on such an indifferent look.

Of course, another possibility is that... the d19 who is currently chatting with Jue-ge - is also a clone.

…………

Five minutes later, in Dr. Cox's office.

Didi... Didi...

The electronic doorbell at the door sounded two beeps, announcing someone's visit.

"Come in." Dr. Cox didn't even confirm who was outside the door, and responded.

Then, the door opened...

Under the guidance of d19, Feng Bujue came to Cox's office.

As soon as the two met, their eyes collided in mid-air, like two shrewd hunters... both thinking of turning the other into their prey...
