Chapter 499: The Island of Devil’s Maw (5)

Seeing the giant axe come at him, Pegasus jumped to the side and easily avoided the attack. Even though one had no idea who this baboon-face was, but from the strength and force behind that axe attack, he was no important character. The next second, Pegasus steadied himself, he assumed the famous pose and ready to counter.

Ding—

Suddenly, the tingle of a bell came. That was Feng Bujue activating Bell of Jin Gang, he used the first special effect: inspect the details of a NPC.

Name: The listener Leideson

Force: None

Level: 100

Height: 192 cm

Weight: 316 kg

Whether it can be drawn into combat: Yes

Attached quest: Shortcut to the Shrine of Faith.

“Spare him! Wait!” Feng Bujue shouted immediately as he scanned through the menu. Hearing that Pegasus immediately pulled back his arms and forced himself to stop the skill (that everyone knew he was going to use).

“What’s wrong?” Pegasus turned back to ask.

“Leideson! Please calm down!” Feng Bujue shouted at the NPC, “We can talk about this!” Leidosen yanked out the axe that had plunged into the ground. He crossed it before his chest. The baboon face was still twitching from laughter. “Talk? Ha ha ha… I have said enough! I want to listen!” He roared, it sounded like he was ready to swing the axe again.

......

“What do you want to listen to?” Feng Bujue reacted fast and spoke quickly. It took him less than half a second to answer. As he said that, Leideson halted and his tone became more even. “Sin…” When he spoke, his maddening status was slowly changing. “The sins that you have committed… the sins that go against moral and rules…” There was a desperate hunger in his tone, “Tell me, the more the better…”

“Oh?” Feng Bujue’s eyes shifted and a smile appeared on his face. “That is what you wish for?”

“Yes! Please, tell me!” Leideson took big strides forward towards Brother Jue.

“be careful!” Seeing this, Uncle Worthless at the side reminded him with a shout. Then, he and Atobe showed up. Both Pegasus and Ambitionist got close to Feng Bujue, ready to assist him.

“Ha ha… For something like that, the stories that I can tell.” Feng Bujue did not budge. As he conversed easily with Leideson, he waved at his teammates, telling them that it was fine.

“Quick, tell me then…” Leideson practically bounced to Feng Bujue, and urged with passion.

“Hmm… Then I will start with something not so serious…” Feng Bujue shoved his hands in his pockets and began with some pride. “When I was in first year primary, I plotted against a ruffian. I had him trapped under a manhole cover for 3 hours before I called the firemen to come rescue him.”

“What the f*ck! That is one that is not so serious?” Ambitionist’s glasses almost fell from his face.

“Honestly… I feel guilty about it.” Feng Bujue said evenly and continued, “they have to break the manhole cover to get him out and that was public property and I am sure the firemen uncles have better things to do.”

“Wait a minute! Why do you feel guilty about that! How about some compassion for that poor young man that you trapped down there!” Atobe’s eyeballs were about to fall to the ground.

“That’s why my second plot is a new plan that will not trouble anyone.” Brother Jue continued like the protestations were not there.

[Wait, there’s a sequel? Just how much you hate this kid? The poor thing.] Ambitionist thought to himself.

“Alas, things did not work out… After the dude got food poisoning, he called the police.” Feng Bujue spat with derision. “Qie… Now that I think about it, the problem was definitely I was using too high of a dosage… After all, I should have considered the target was just a high schooler, his digestive system is not as good as an adult…”

“Wait a minute! What is with the ‘dosage’? What the hell did you add into his food? Will a normal primary school student do something like this? Are you Conan who had been corrupted?” Atobe gasped.

“Thankfully my plan was so well-executed that it left no evidence. The police did not care too much about these small cases anyway so it went away eventually.” Brother Jue continued, “But… it is the truth that I have caused unnecessary trouble to the police and for that, I feel great remorse.”

[Hey… he has to be making this up right? It has to be!] Even Uncle Worthless was thinking this inside his mind.

“Finally, one day when I was in primary fourth, I completed my revenge.” Brother Jue continued his story, “That day, I successfully stole his wallet and took back the 3 RMB of breakfast money that he demanded from me as protection fee and used a pin to prick little holes in the condom in his wallet. Then, I handed the wallet back to the lost and found counter at their school.” When his four teammates heard this, they were all thinking. [Police officer! The person you’re looking for is here!]

“Ah… Revenge sure is a dish best served cold…” At that point, Feng Bujue petered off into a maddening and chill laughter. “he he he… I sure was naughty at my rebellious years… Well as they say, ‘a tooth for a tooth and a prick for a prick’ right?”

“Wait a minute, who are they? And the second half of the saying is just made up!” Atobe roared.

“That’s not enough…” After hearing that Leideson opened his lips to say, “Is there no even greater sin?”

“Is that so? Then… does multiple tempering with the evidence at a crime scene counts as a greater sin?” Feng Bujue asked.

Hearing that Pegasus silently opened the game menu. [Hmm… How do you report a player to the law enforcement again…]

“I want to listen to actual sin! Actual sin!” Leideson shouted loudly. Then he looked around at the other players. “The rest of you! Speak! Tell me more! Quick! Or I will kill you!”

“Hmph… A superhero will never sin!” Pegasus whipped his head to the side and looked up into the sky and said. At the same time, both of his hands had the index finger crossed with the middle finger.

“You better go back to kindergarten to learn how to tell a better lie first!” Atobe countered.

“Hmm…” Ambitionist silently pushed on his glasses and he thought internally. [For this NPC, listening to other people’s confession is like a feast to him… From how he acts, he appears to be ‘hungry’ for a long time already, so long that his mind is not in a stable state.] Ambitionist’s analysis was correct and Feng Bujue came to about the same conclusion. When he heard Leideson’s request, Brother Jue thought of all these immediately because he had encountered similar NPC in the past (Aldan) who wanted to listen to ghost stories. In comparison, this Leideson’s habit was that strange.

“I say… we can tell you as many stories you want to listen.” Feng Bujue continued to negotiate with Leideson, “But… in exchange, what kind of benefit you can give us?”

[hmm… as expected of Brother Feng.] Ambitionist thought. [Now we’re getting somewhere.]

Leideson calmed down immediately. Feng Bujue’s statement appeared to trigger some kind of event and caused the NPC to respond in a fixed programmed manner.

“Benefit is it…” Leideson said darkly. “The word has different meaning depending on the different entity…” His eyes scanned the group of five. “before that, I have to ask… what is your ‘faith’?”
