Chapter 1 Gold Light Appears, Forcing Back Butterfly Winged Shadows

Chapter 2 An Uninvited Guest Unveils a New Chapter in the Battle

The long-silent voice-over unexpectedly resounded once more in the script. And… it wasn't just the players who heard it; even the derivatives present did too.

They heard a vigorous male voice, speaking in Hokkien, slowly recite:

[Smiling, I watch a myriad troops crumble in the vast ocean,
Strategizing to determine the heavens and earth, calculating karma.
Without awareness, without fear, I take life and death lightly,
Neither ghost nor god, I resemble a mad demon.]

Before the person arrived, the poem had already come.

At this moment, all the players in Thriller Paradise focused their gazes on one place. All the broadcast area lenses converged in that second, and were aimed at the same person.

[An arrogant poem, bringing forth an ethereal figure.]

[In an instant…]

[In an instant…]

[Sorry, I can’t make this up anymore.]

“Huh?” Everyone, including Lute, was stunned when they heard this.

Only then did they realize that this narration seemed a bit off. First of all, the commentator's voice-over should be heard directly in the ear, with a moderate volume and clear enunciation. But at this moment, this line was coming from above, with an echo, as if someone was commentating live. Secondly, why would the commentator recite such a bizarre poem? Normally, the person themselves should be reciting it.

“Hmm… it’s quite lively here.” At this moment, a familiar voice came.

Feng Bujue’s figure finally appeared on the rooftop of a tall building by the street. He looked down at the crowd on the battlefield with his usual, inscrutable eyes, his expression leisurely and calm.

Lute looked up at Brother Jue, the white light of data streams shining in her eyes again: “Feng Bujue…”

“That’s right, it’s me.” Feng Bujue replied, “You must be Lute…” He narrowed his eyes and sized her up, “Before I formally start fighting you, I’d like to ask… can you please voluntarily abandon this plan?”

Snap—

Lute snapped her fingers, and a beam of white light shot up, engulfing the spot where Brother Jue was standing.

“Okay… I think your answer is clear enough.” Feng Bujue’s voice rang out again, his figure reappearing behind where he had been standing.

“He dodged it?” Lute thought to herself, “With his data strength, he can actually achieve this kind of movement speed?”

“Hey! Crazy Bujue.” Shiva shouted to the high place, somewhat belatedly, “What was going on with that narration just now?”

“Oh? That thing…” Feng Bujue said with a smile, raising a hand, a pocket watch hanging from his fingers, “Just use this.” He shook the pocket watch, then held it to his mouth and cleared his throat: [why_so_serious?]

A gloomy and morbid voice rang out, also with a mixed-in, emphasized effect like a voice-over.

[Name: Deceitful Pocket Watch]

[Type: Other]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: Can slightly change the user's voice and volume (consumes 10 points of Stamina per second when changing voice)]

[Message from the inventor “Dr. Azhu”: I have to admit, my invention is not perfect. It is more difficult to imitate the opposite sex's voice with it; in addition, the volume increase cannot reach the level of a loudspeaker. Of course, its appearance is still very good. Only a fool would make a voice changer look like a red bow tie.]

“Wow… you really know how to have fun…” Shiva didn’t know why, but after seeing Brother Feng appear, he felt inexplicably relaxed… In short, there was a feeling of "that guy will always have a way."

“Bujue.” Twenty-Three looked up and said, “Lute is up to you… okay?”

“Ah… it will be over soon.” Feng Bujue replied calmly.

As he spoke, he took a step forward and stepped into the air, falling vertically from the top of the building.

Seconds later, Feng Bujue lightly tapped his toes and landed gracefully, looking unharmed, with only a little dust rising from the ground.

“What kind of trick is this?” Brahma, who was far away, couldn’t help but say, “Falling at high speed from that height without any cushioning or reflection, and he’s actually okay?”

“Heaven knows what that kid is up to…” Shiva continued, “He and Gui Xiao are both the kind of unpredictable monsters… it wouldn’t be strange if they did anything.”

“Hmph…” Yama gently blew on the bangs on his forehead, “Only monsters… can deal with monsters…”

Whoosh—

At this moment, a swift shadow flashed out.

No one expected that just as everyone present was hesitating because of Feng Bujue's appearance, Wang Tanzhi acted without hesitation.

Without saying a word, he rushed towards Chi Tie, who was lying in the distance.

“You said… it will be over soon…” Lute was obviously provoked by Brother Jue, she completely ignored Xiao Tan, who passed by her, and stared at Feng Bujue, “I agree with that.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the butterfly shadow moved again.

In the blink of an eye, Lute had appeared in front of Feng Bujue, pointing a finger at him.

Boom—

An explosion rang out, and light and dust rose sharply.

In front of Feng Bujue, a wall of light suddenly appeared, blocking the power of the explosion completely, without any leakage.

“Xiao Tan, take Chi Tie and Gui Xiao away together.” Feng Bujue shouted loudly while resisting the attack.

“Hmph… in your dreams…” Lute didn’t even look, raising her hand…

Feng Bujue’s eyes sharpened, and he moved like a rabbit released.

He saw his figure shake, like a thunderbolt, and suddenly rushed out. In a flash, he wrapped his arms around Lute and held her in his embrace.

[Name: Drifting Sand in the Wind]

[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Skill Category: Combat]

[Effect: Drag the target for a super-high-speed movement within a distance of fifty meters (cooldown time of five minutes, a movement trajectory must exist)]

[Consumption: Stamina 300]

[Learning Condition: Combat Specialization B]

[Remarks: When I was a copper man in the temple, I often used this trick to deal with those who tried to escape. But later, the abbot bought a batch of folding stools, and my martial arts and those of my fellow disciples gradually fell into disuse…]

It is said that with Lute's defensive power and self-healing ability, no matter what attack method Feng Bujue used at this time, it would be difficult to stop her attack.

But as Shiva thought, Feng Bujue… would always have a way.

In the blink of an eye, the scenery in front of Lute changed drastically. Due to the change in position, her attack had no choice but to stop.

“Hmph… humans are humans after all…” Lute said, “Feng Bujue, you seem to have put the cart before the horse, haven’t you?” As she said this, the metal on her body wrapped around Brother Jue like tentacles, “I know, Zero must have told you… such nonsense as ‘as long as you join forces with Gui Xiao, you can kill Lute’…” She sneered, “But have you ever thought about it? By the time your companion wakes up Gui Xiao, you’re already dead… what’s the point then?”
