Thriller Paradise

337 South Park (12)(Chapter preview)

"Hey… could all these be…" Feng Bujue had a suspicion in his heart, but that conclusion was overly despairing, so he wanted to confirm with R2 with the hopes that he was wrong.

"Yes, they are Anomalies from Origin," R2 said. "But there is no need for you to worry. Sandboxes are only for level three and four Anomalies, and all the level three Anomalies will have left. These are all level four Anomalies."

"Even if they are just level four… But there are so many…"

"They're just a small group. The total number is far more than this," R2 said. "Inside the world of South Park, there includes the whole Earth, Heaven, the imaginary land, Hell, and even the planets of some alien life forms… Any one of those places could house any number of Anomalies."

"Wouldn't it be easier for you to tell me that I'm certainly dead?" Feng Bujue said calmly.

"Hm…" R2 thought for several seconds. "Indeed… With the strength of your current data, even with my protection, there is a very high chance that you'll be killed."

When they conversed, the few Anomalies from Origin had already headed their way. A level four Anomaly was only slightly cleverer than a normal scenario's boss. Basically, they were like robots from Terminator. In this sandbox created by Origin, these Anomalies' movements weren't fixed, but they shared one goal… which was to destroy all the other data that was not one of their own. If they were bald eagles, then unique data like Feng Bujue was like a fresh kill. He would attract many of them from faraway.

Facing the approaching enemy, R2 calmly told Feng Bujue, "How about this? I'll give you two skills for you to defend yourself."

Brother Jue was surprised. "You can generate skill cards?"

"Of course not," R2 said. "But I can input the data of the skill directly into you."

He placed his finger lightly on Feng Bujue's forehead. Three seconds later, R2 pulled his finger back. "Done."

Feng Bujue did not feel anything and did not see anything strange like a pool of light.

"That's all?" he mumbled as he opened the game menu. To his surprise, two new skills were found in his skill tab.

———

Name: Geppo

Skill Property: Active, Permanent

Skill Type: Fighting

Effect: Step through the air (No Cooldown)

Exhaustion: Fifteen Stamina Points

Learning Requirement: Fighting C

Remark: Use an extreme force of the feet to step against the air to stagnant one's body in the air. One can freely change direction in the air and can even step higher into the air like climbing a ladder.

———

The second skill was a purely fighting one.

———

Name: Rankyaku

Skill Property: Active, Permanent

Skill Type: Fighting

Effect: Long distance slash (No Cooldown)

Exhaustion: 150 Stamina Points

Learning Requirement: Fighting C

Remark: Forming a powerful slash through high speed kick, the slash will cut through the air.

———

"These two are useable skills that are suitable at your current level, and they do not have any cooldown," R2 said. "Using these two skills, you should be able to…"

"Do you have more?" Feng Bujue interrupted before the man finished. Naturally, he would not let go of this good opportunity. He got these two skills for doing nothing, and he could use them directly. This was far more effective than drawing some random skill card.

"Overly complicated skills do not match your current data," R2 replied.

"In other words… if I have not reached the learning requirements for those skills, you are unable to input them into my data," Feng Bujue observed.

"Correct."

"Then give me something of a lower level. I won't say no to those," Feng Bujue said.

By then, the few level four Anomalies who walked at the front were already three meters from R2. R2 turned toward the opening and said, "The two I gave you are the lowest level skills I know."

As he finished, R2 turned around for another kick, and a giant force like a tiger blasted out from the opening and ground the Anomaly that was closest to the opening into dust. The two behind him lost half of their bodies and collapsed to the ground. Their remaining bodies soon turned from flesh into data fragments and slowly disintegrated.

"Er… Is it really fine for you to kill your own like that?" Feng Bujue asked. Taking another person's perspective was one of his habits.

"Didn't I tell you that I have a different stance from Origin? Therefore, this is war…" R2 replied calmly. "Furthermore… as a human, don't you feel ashamed asking a question like that?

"In your dimension, human beings are the very small percentage of organisms who maliciously harm one another. Your history is filled with wars; human beings often kill other humans to satisfy their desire, for revenge, and just on a whim. Even in this 'game' for entertainment, isn't killing common as well?"

"Big brother, I've misspoken…" Feng Bujue really did not expect that he would be stumped in argument with a non-human AI life form.

"Leave with me first," R2 said as he headed out. "We'll continue this conversation when we're somewhere relatively safe."

Pew!

At that moment, an oil truck flew through the air toward R2.

It was being thrown in cooperation by five level four Anomalies. It seemed like they had decided to opt for a long-distance battle after witnessing the end of their three partners when they went for a close-quarter battle. The black shadow grew bigger around R2, signaling the approach of the oil truck. Even if the truck did not kill R2 in the crash, the Anomalies from Origin would fire their guns to have the oil truck explode

"Forgive me," R2 said suddenly. At that moment, Feng Bujue's heart skipped a beat. He understood that apology was meant for him.

As he expected, before he could react, Feng Bujue was grabbed by R2 by his collar and dragged out of the shopping mall. That was not all. In less than a second, R2 used a great strength to fling Feng Bujue right into the air. Feng Bujue was like a bouquet of flower being thrown by the bride. If not for the Geppo that he had just been taught, he would really have thought R2 was out to kill him.

Sticking close to the wall of the shopping mall, Feng Bujue flew vertically up into the air, and the oil truck reached the end of its arc at the same time.

Boom!

R2 was hit head on, and before that was done, the Anomalies from Origin, or at least the few with weapons and long range skills, started to unload their firepower…
