"They say that in this dynasty, there was a rash man named Mu Dai, known as David Myers..." Feng Bujue's opening line... just didn't sound right.

"What the heck..." Jibu muttered, "A foreigner? Then shouldn't it be Myers David? What's with 'Mu Dai'? Just making things up to sound better?"

Brother Jue's narration continued: "...He was a young police detective. He had a virtuous wife named Tracy. Since his transfer, Myers had a new partner named William Somerset. This man was nearly sixty years old, with a face as black as charcoal, originally an African American..."

"That's obvious... black people are of course as black as charcoal..." Jibu mumbled.

"...That Somerset, full of talent and extraordinary wisdom, was about to retire from the police force in seven days. On a rainy day, Myers met him at a crime scene and saw a fat corpse sitting dead at a table in a humble room, its face buried in noodles. On the wall behind the refrigerator, a message was written: Gluttony."

"Hey! What's this? The plot seems familiar!" Uncle Loser might have 'Uncle' in his name, but he was only in his early thirties. Strictly speaking, he was still a宅男 (zhainan, otaku). As someone with a lot of time on his hands, he had seen many old movies, so when Feng Bujue spoke of this, Uncle Loser quickly recognized the clue...

"The next day, a gold-medal lawyer was found dead in his office, blood splattered five steps away, and the words 'Greed' written on the ground..." Brother Jue continued.

Hearing this, Honghu couldn't help but complain: "Are you planning to use the tone of the Eight-Panel Screen to retell the movie *Seven* all the way through..."

"The audience over there, don't interrupt." Feng Bujue stopped and said to Honghu in an impatient tone.

"That's right! Stop being so verbose! If you don't want to listen, go away." Lesende, who was sitting with his knees drawn up to his chest, also glared at Honghu, expressing his protest.

"Heh... hehe..." Honghu's mouth twitched as he laughed dryly, "Okay, since you guys are just enjoying it..."

...

For the next half hour, Feng Bujue embellished, opened his mind, and vividly created the "Eight-Panel Screen version of Seven Deadly Sins".

After he finished speaking, the system prompt sounded: 【Side Quest Completed】, and the prompt in the taskbar changed to 【Describe the seven sins to satisfy the "hungry" Lesende, current progress 7/7】 and was checked off.

At this time, Tianma Xingkong and Lesende were sitting in exactly the same posture (that is, the state of elementary school students sitting on the playground during sports meets), watching Brother Jue with great interest. As the story came to an end, they even put on a look of unfinished business...

And Honghu was leaning against a big tree next to him, and said in a slightly surprised tone: "I actually listened to it all..." In fact, he originally wanted to conduct reconnaissance nearby, but unconsciously he was attracted by Brother Jue's voice, and he listened to the end.

"Phew—although it's not an original story, it's truly admirable to be able to tell it to this extent." Uncle Loser commented, exhaling smoke.

Jibu continued: "Anyway, we don't have to contribute, and we're not judged for passively playing the game, so let's just watch a show..."

"Ah... I haven't tasted the taste of sin for a long time, I almost forgot... that fresh taste." After a while, Lesende stood up and took a long breath, "This should be enough for me to last for eighty to one hundred years."

"I can see... your life is quite lacking." Feng Bujue said with narrowed eyes.

"That's right..." Lesende replied, "What kind of entertainment can a prisoner have in prison?"

Feng Bujue keenly captured something from the other party's words, and he continued: "Oh... are you also a prisoner?" He paused, "Then let me ask you, do you know a guy named 'Samodir'?"

"I have no obligation to answer you, human." Lesende looked at Brother Jue and said, "On Devourer Island, everything is a transaction." He stood up, his voice became very cold, "I will abide by the previous promise..." He said, and handed his axe to Jibu, "You better not cross the line..." A sharp light flashed in his eyes, "Lest I change my mind."

"Hmm... things have come to this point..." Feng Bujue thought to himself, the next second, he turned his head and glanced at Honghu.

And Honghu also quickly gave Brother Jue a wink. At this moment, both of them knew that the additional reward of "Faith in Weston" was their last chance to obtain information from Lesende. This NPC would no longer give any other useful information.

"Damn... so this axe can't be taken out of the script." Jibu had already taken the one-meter-long axe in his hand and saw the item description.

【Name: The Tree Spirit Who Talks Trash Must Die】

【Type: Weapon】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Attack Power: ???】

【Attribute: None】

【Special Effect: Deals fixed damage to the "Taunt Tree", and only deals basic damage of an ordinary axe to any other target】

【Equipment Condition: Choose Idient as your belief, cannot be traded after picking it up】

【Can it be taken out of this script: No】

【Remarks: This axe is the work of the legendary dwarven craftsman "Auer All-Must-Die". Once, he passed through a forest and encountered several "Taunt Trees". Although these mischievous tree spirits did not have any actual means of attack, they were extremely venomous and extremely hard. Even magic weapons could only cause slight damage to them. That day, Mr. All-Must-Die was humiliated and became furious. So, he spent two days rushing to make this weapon specially designed to restrain the taunting trees. Later... he also used the wood from the taunting trees to create the infamous artifact - "Mean Armor", of course, that's another story.】

"Okay, so what about our rewards?" Feng Bujue continued to Lesende.

"Here, this is yours." Lesende said, and stretched out his thumb, gently pressing it on Brother Jue's shoulder.

In a blink of an eye, a strange magic mark appeared on the latter's shoulder.

"And you." Lesende turned around and walked towards Uncle Loser again, pressing another kind of magic mark on his shoulder.

"When you need to use it, you can just put your hand on your shoulder." Lesende added.

"Uh... aren't you going to explain the principle and effect of this thing?" Feng Bujue asked.

"When the time comes, you will naturally know." Lesende replied.

"Saying it is as good as not saying it..." Feng Bujue muttered, and walked towards Jibu, "Hey, Jibu, let me take a look at the equipment description (after the version update, the function of viewing equipment information for teammates has been added, as long as the two stand close, they can complete the operation without handing the item to the other party)."

"So... I can ask you a question now, right?" Honghu then walked towards Lesende and said solemnly.

"Yes, as I promised." Lesende replied, "A believer of Weston, I will tell you a 'piece of information you need to know'." He paused for two seconds, "You are a believer of the God of Wisdom, you should know what to ask, right?"

"Hmm..." Honghu hesitated slightly, turned his head and looked at his teammates.

Uncle Loser remained silent, only God knows what his expression was under his sunglasses; Tianma Xingkong's thick-browed and big-eyed face always had one expression, and Honghu didn't expect him to come up with any good suggestions; Feng Bujue was focused on checking Jibu's equipment, it seemed that he didn't intend to make any suggestions on this matter; and Jibu just shrugged his shoulders and looked back at Honghu, as if saying: "I don't care..."

"Then..." Honghu saw that his teammates had no intention of interfering with him, so he followed his own opinion and spoke, "Please tell me... the fastest way to reach the Temple of Faith within our capabilities."

"Hmph... as expected of a strategist..." Feng Bujue immediately thought in his heart when he heard this, "He didn't ask for the coordinates, but asked for 'the fastest way to reach', and also attached the premise of 'within our capabilities'. Amazing... Without the aid of the 【Vajra Bell】, he still made a very clever choice."

If Brother Jue had asked this question, he would have asked it this way too. Although he also thought about... taking this opportunity to directly ask "What is the way to leave Devourer Island", considering the current actual situation (mainly the time limit), it was obviously more important to overcome the difficulties of the main quest first.
