"Impossible." Billy replied decisively, because it truly was impossible for him. He didn't believe that lying about being able to do it would solve anything.

Feng Bujue had anticipated a negative response. He only proposed such a request as a negotiating tactic. In this somewhat unequal cooperative relationship, the advantageous party could initially raise the price very high, then gradually lower it, probing the other party's bottom line.

"Why?" Feng Bujue asked.

"This gun is an extension of my ability. If it leaves my 'domination' range, it will disappear." Billy replied, "Since I've been in this loop for a long time, my power's compatibility with this space is extremely high. That's why you can carry the gun all over the prison. But in an unfamiliar environment, if the gun is taken more than a hundred meters away from me, it will vanish." He paused for half a second and added, "Also, the so-called one-hit kill and guaranteed hit effect are, to put it bluntly, adjustments I make using spatial abilities. Because I can control matter in space very precisely, the bullet's destructive power and accuracy are all under my control."

"That's not right... that guy named Faster was guarding outside the prison gate, right? Although it's separated by a door, it's still outside." Feng Bujue said, "If I acted according to your original plan, and after a series of誘導 ended up in the first corridor and faced that guy, wouldn't I be holding a useless gun..."

Billy interrupted, "Among the three of us, only my power ceiling is above Faster's. Therefore, it doesn't matter if you step out of the prison door, as long as I stay near you, I can still give this gun enough destructive power. Also... the so-called 'outside the door' is not the real outside world. The area where Faster is located can be regarded as the 'door' as a whole, and the Time Lord's curse is the most solid lock."

"Oh... I see. But... the gun is a manifestation of your ability, I just pulled the trigger. Can that really be considered me killing him?" Feng Bujue asked.

"What matters is not the method, tool, or source of power used to kill Faster, but... 'who' launched that fatal attack." Billy replied, "Black magic users borrow the power of ancient demon lords when chanting, and elemental magic users borrow the power of nature... So, should the descendants of those killed by these attack spells seek revenge on the caster, or should they seek revenge on the demon lord, or on the entire world?"

"Hmm... I understand." Feng Bujue responded, "In short, it's enough if 'I' do it, right..." He raised his head, "And if you guys kill Faster yourselves, you'll encounter the loop again, and Faster will be resurrected outside the door as usual, right?"

Alden continued, "That's right, the Time Lord's curse is extremely vicious. If the 'prisoner' kills the 'jailer,' everything will return to its initial state. Faster will reappear outside the door, and our power will regress to a very low level, and it will take a long time to recover to the current state.

Before that, this space is completely out of our control. We can't find the door to exit, can't change the surrounding environment, and can't make any leap-like movements. And after each loop, new monsters will be thrown in to abuse and kill us. Before we grow up, we are usually killed many times. Sadly, in prison, we can't even die. After being killed, we will return to the weakest state and resurrect."

Hearing this, Feng Bujue turned to look at Rabbitt.

Rabbitt knew what he wanted to ask, and said directly, "Don't look at me. Billy has already said that he adjusted the power of the bullet at the last moment, so your gun didn't really 'kill' me. Of course... the way I fled did look a bit pathetic."

"In other words... even if I had really killed you just now, it wouldn't have mattered?" Feng Bujue asked.

"How could it not matter! Didn't Alden just say that after we are killed, we will return to the weakest state, and it will take many days for our power to recover to its upper limit." Rabbitt replied.

"By the way, have you ever tried using SCP-173-like monsters to kill Faster?" Feng Bujue asked again.

"Of course we've tried." Billy replied, "Although those monsters are extremely difficult to control, and also pose a considerable threat to us in our strongest state, we still managed to lure one or two of them close to the prison gate. But as soon as those monsters left the door, they disappeared, and a new monster was immediately sent in."

"Oh..." Feng Bujue nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back to the conditions I proposed. Hmm... it's impossible for me to take the gun away, so what about the Contra Medal?"

"The same principle. I said, I have absolute domination over the internal space of this prison. As long as you are not teleported away due to 'poisoning', I can revive you as many times as I want." Billy said, "But if you leave here..."

"Then what's there to talk about?" Feng Bujue interrupted, "If there aren't enough benefits, why should I offend a character like the Time Lord for you? You're not my relatives, why should I help you break out of prison?"

"Don't you want to clear the game..." Billy began to say.

Feng Bujue interrupted again, "That was originally my purpose, but after learning about the situation of this 'prison'..." He made quotation marks with his hands, "I think, cooperating with you is not worth it." He said casually, "I'd rather be poisoned, leading to failure to clear the game, than go against the Time Lord for a few guys who are trying to trap me..." He paused, and added shamelessly, "Especially when there's no reward."

"Okay..." Billy hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Wait a moment..."

Next, there was about a minute of silence. Billy, Alden, and Rabbitt seemed to be having some kind of mental communication. Since it was difficult to see anything from their three bizarre faces, Feng Bujue simply stopped trying to read their expressions. He put on a look of indifference, as if failing to clear the game really didn't matter, waiting for their response.

"Hmm... although it's difficult, we can try to create a Contra Medal that you can use even after you take it out." Billy finally said.

"How exactly will it work?" Feng Bujue asked again.

"It's actually not that complicated." Alden chimed in from the side, "The three of us working together can create a medal that will be effective in space-time outside this prison."

Feng Bujue thought for a few seconds, "Is this the biggest benefit you can give me?"

"You have to understand, it's extremely difficult to make such an item in a limited amount of time, and it may even shake the foundation of our respective powers." Billy continued, "If you don't even accept this, then..."

"Okay, I accept." Feng Bujue interrupted decisively before the other party could say anything unpleasant, "Give me the thing first, and then I'll accompany you to kill Faster."

"That's not right..." Rabbitt said, "What if you take the thing and run away?"

"Since I can both get the medal and clear the game, why would I choose to take the thing and run away?" Feng Bujue retorted.

"Killing Faster is a piece of cake, I just need to take the gun you made, aim at the target, and pull the trigger, right?" He looked at Billy and said, "In comparison, I should be wary of you guys. What if I help you kill Faster first, and after you get rid of the loop, you not only don't give me a reward, but also destroy the potion in Faster's hand or just kill me..." Feng Bujue said, holding out three fingers, "Then, first, I won't get any benefits from you; second, I'll be on the Time Lord's blacklist for no reason; third, I still won't be able to clear the game in the end."

He shook his head and continued, "Besides... even if you give me the medal first, it doesn't rule out the possibility that after I help you, you will kill me out of spite, just to vent your anger. In that case, I'll still get nothing. In short... I bear significantly more risk, so I won't do it until I get the thing!"
