“To put it simply …” The Penguin said,”the highly intelligent creatures in our universe have the insight to’ detect creatures of a higher dimension ‘.”
“And Hirata-san … Was the first person to achieve this,” added tu Mei.
“It’s easy to go from 1 to 2, but going from 0 to 1 is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. ” The Penguin assistant continued,”all of us are very grateful to Hirata-kun. It was him who let us understand …” He looked at brother Jue and Xiao Tan.”In our world, there is still ‘you’.”
“I see …” Feng bujue replied.”But … Why do you call us ‘players’?”
When he asked the question, Wang Tanzhi thought to himself,””That’s right … Even if they know that they are characters from a comic, what reason do they have to call us ‘players’? According to common sense, shouldn’t we be called ‘readers’ or ‘audience’? If they are called ‘players’, it means …”
“Because …” Hirata answered Feng bujue’s question.”Other than the ‘higher dimension’, we have also discovered a ‘parallel dimension’.”
“It was a game called Thriller Paradise that sent you here, right?” The Penguin assistant added,”there’s no need to look so surprised …” That sentence was naturally directed at Xiao Tan.”Before you guys, we have encountered other ‘players’, and it’s not just one group …”
When he heard this, the last bit of doubt in brother Jue’s heart was cleared, and his expression relaxed.
“…Compared to you guys, those people’s actions can be said to be rather reckless. It’s not difficult to get information from them.” The Penguin assistant continued,”the difficult part is … Due to the difference in dimensions, it will take a long time to identify you and a targeted layout.”
“Also …” Tu Mei added,”even if we lock onto the target, we can’t be 100% sure that the target is a ‘higher dimensional creature’. Because in our world, there are countless people like Xiong Ji … Who are full of IQ and EQ. When they do something abnormal, it’s hard to tell if they’re being ‘controlled’ or if they’re just playing around. ”
“Brother Jue …” At this time, Xiao Tan lowered his voice and told Feng bujue,”this doesn’t look right … I think we can’t hide it anymore.”
“What are you panicking for?” Feng bujue also lowered his voice and used a voice that only Xiao Tan could hear to reply,”did the system tell you that you have failed the main mission?”
“Not yet …” Xiao Tan said.
“Then that’s it.” Brother Jue replied calmly,”don’t worry, let’s wait until they’re done …”
After the two of them whispered that, Feng bujue raised his voice again.””That … Where were we?” “Oh, right …” He asked hypocritically and took the opportunity to change the topic.”That ‘stalker’s letter’ was your first test, right? What was the result?”
“Very successful.” “Based on my observation, you …” He looked at brother Jue.”…You’re a very smart and eloquent person, and you have a good understanding of our world. If there’s any obvious weakness, it’s … You think too highly of yourself, even narcissism. ”
“Damn … The detectives are so powerful! His observation and analysis are so accurate!” As Xiao Tan listened, he cursed internally. I’m a Dr. But when I’m with you guys, I suddenly feel like I’m not smart enough!
“I think it’s quite difficult to deal with someone like you.” Tu Mei continued,”however … Retreating to advance should have a miraculous effect.”
“Therefore, regarding the outcome of the ‘stalker’s letter’ incident, tumei hesitated a little … And chose to compromise,” the Penguin assistant continued.
…………
“I see … It seems that you’re not just a Peeping Tom and a violent man. The famous detective, Mao Saburo, from beast primary school is indeed worthy of his reputation.”
…………
At that moment, rabbit Beauty’s response flashed through Feng bujue’s mind.
One had to say … Retreating to advance was indeed the best way to deal with brother Jue. Rabbit Beauty’s compromise made brother Jue overlook many details …
“So, I gave up on calling the police. Tu Mei continued,”I wanted to see your reactions.” She paused and looked at brother Jue.”In the end … Your personality has changed.”
“Oh?” “Why do you say so?” Feng bujue asked.
“Mr. Player …” Tu Mei’s expression changed slightly.”The way Mao San Lang talks and speaks when he is no longer under your control is very different from you.” She pointed at Xiao Tan.”That is not obvious on Kotaro.” She then pointed at brother Jue.”But you … You are a very unique person, Mr. Player. If the main attributes of the characters in comic books are divided into’ acting dumb ‘and’ complaining ‘… You don’t belong to any of them. ”
“When you were defending Xiong Yunji, you used the perspective of a high-level elemental creature to substitute into the virtual character,” Hirata said.”Then, you used the ‘logic and way of speaking in our world’ that you speculated to solve the problem at hand.”
“Although it doesn’t look like there’s any flaw on the surface …” The Penguin assistant said.
“But … There will always be a slight ‘unnatural’ feeling.” “If you want to find out what the problem is, I’m afraid it’s that … Your mind will inadvertently switch between ‘acting dumb’ and ‘complaining’,” said tu Mei.
The three of them answered brother Jue’s question one after another.
“I see …” Feng bujue was as calm as ever.”After the first test was ‘successful’, you planned the ‘Penguin’s helper’s death’, right?”
“That’s right. ” The Penguin assistant replied,”after the first test, we gathered all the information we had before and discussed it. We also established a certain level of friendship with the real Koutarou and Kotaro, deepening our understanding of each other … Then, we made a hypothesis …”
“When Xiong Ji does something that can lead to his arrest,” tu Mei continued,”and when he’s about to throw himself into the law,’you'(the ‘you’ here obviously refers to players)… Will appear.”
“In order to verify this hypothesis,” the Penguin assistant said,”hakumi, aouji, and I used some props borrowed from the drama department to put on a show in front of you.”
“And I’ve been feeling guilty for so long …” Xiao Tan heard that and mumbled gloomily,”so, that monkey was involved in this too …”
“Wait a minute …” Suddenly, Feng bujue interrupted the man’s story.”This play … Didn’t you discuss it with Xiong Ji?” (To be continued.)
