“I have no comment.” Feng Bujue crossed his arms before his chest and answered without even turning around.

“Ha… ha ha ha… Okay then…” Facing this kind of answer, Tired Dream really was speechless.

“I say… that person over that… the one with the ruined face…” Two seconds later, Brother Jue turned to look at Freddy, “Your surveillance does not seem to capture all the places in the company, right?”

“Mr. Feng… you can call me Freddy, really…” Freddy corrected with a headache.

“That does not matter, just answer my question.” Brother Jue urged.

!!

“Aiz…” Freddy gave a long helpless sighed. He then added, “The toilets, changing rooms, and bathrooms are not equipped with cameras… and… the cameras at the basement storage are not that many, and…”

“Send a few people to go and check those places out.” Before the man finished, Feng Bujue interrupted him and ordered.

“Mr. Feng… I’d advise you not to push it.” Many Eyes who stood at the side could not bear it anymore. “You better understand your current position.” She scanned Brother Jue and his teammates. “So far, you and your team has done nothing but beat up and threaten our employees, and create chaos, you have done nothing constructive to help us… so who gave you the right to order us around?”

“Enough, enough…” Freddy held his forehead and said, “Many Eyes, you bring two people with you and go check.” Freddy was still quite a rational person. He knew that if Many Eyes stayed there, she would get into an argument with Feng Bujue so he directly ordered her away.

As an employee, Many Eyes did not dare to violate her superior. With a ‘yes sir’, she left with two Predator security.

“Mr. Feng…” After Many Eyes left, Freddy slowly turned his head around and told Brother Jue darkly, “I hope you understand that I have limited patience. Assuming… this Anomaly that you claim does not exist…” Feng Bujue finished the sentence for him. “I will abide by our promise and tell you as much information about us travellers from another world that you wish to know.”

“Em…” Freddy nodded. “I hope you will abide by your words this time.” He said as he lifted his right arm and casually waved his metallic claw gloves. “Or else… you might find me not as pleasant as I am now…”

…

At the same time, in the inner world at LJN park. Root was sitting on a sofa made up of trash pixels and she was toying with a bunch of data pieces out of boredom. She waved her fingers around and the clump of pieces would dance in the air, gathering and separating, stopping and flying… She was like a child, playing with the toy in her hand as much as she wanted and she could turn it into anything that she wished. And without even realizing it… the clump of pixels in the air gradually turned into a human shape and took on the appearance… of Feng Bujue.

“looks like you miss him quite a bit.” Suddenly a crisp voice said.

Almost as the same time the voice rang out, the data in the air shattered and dissolved into nothingness.

“So it is you…” Root turned to the new arrival and answered. The person who was walking towards Root looked like a Caucasian male around 40. His face was cleanly shaved and his sideburn was carefully trimmed. He wore a black tuxedo with gloves, tie and a tall hat. He even held a staff in his grasp. He was wearing a leather shoe that was well-shined and it tapped across the floor as he walked. He was… one of the three leaders of Origin—Link.

“Ha ha… in any case, your reaction is quite interesting.” Link slowly walked over and commented with a smile. “From the human perspective, the scene earlier… was like how a girl would react when her father walked into her room while she was looking at the picture of her boyfriend. And then in her panic, she tore up the picture.”

“Looks like… your human personality simulation program has wandered further and further away on the path of evolution…” Root said sarcastically.

“Hah! What do you mean by that?” Link chuckled and said, “Actually I am just more familiar with the uncertainty in human nature and their related chain of thought compared to the rest of you… that’s all.”

“You mean… the so called ’emotion’ and the method of ‘transferring emotion’?” Root scoffed. “Hmph… but from how I see it… you are merely acting more like a wackjob than the rest of us.”

“No, no, no, I am definitely acting like a gentleman.” Link bent over slightly and assumed a rather funny pose with his staff. “And not what you claim as a…” He hesitated for a half a second. “Em… I am not going to repeat that course language.”

“Then what purpose do you serve coming to my place, gentleman?” Root leaned on the couch and turned her head to the right. She supported her chin lazily and tossed a rather impatient gaze at the man.

“Ha ha… of course I have my reason to be here… and coincidentally, it has to do with that human friend of yours.” Link said as he used the tip of his finger to fidget with the rim of his hat.

“Feng Bujue?” Root added. When she said this name, her expression did not change that much.

“Yes.” Link nodded. “I just got news from the Watchers that V1- War God has encountered Feng Bujue…”

“So what?” Root appeared rather unfazed.

“So what you ask.” Link repeated her words again before adding, “You are familiar with how V1 acts, are you not afraid that…” he purposely paused for a moment, “… that the data of your human ally might be destroyed?”

“With just V1?” This was Root’s reply, it was clear that she did not think much of this.

“Oh? Hah… now what is this?” Link laughed. “Do you think that… the most powerful ‘Original’ that I have created… will lose to that Feng Bujue?”

“Yes.” Root answered, “that is what I believe.”

After Link realized she was not kidding, he turned serious and asked, “Mind telling me what is the ground behind your belief? What do you see in him?”

Root was silent for a few seconds and then… she smiled. “I can answer that question in the way of an Anomaly or in the way of a human… which one do you prefer?”

“How about the Anomaly’s way first?” Link said.

Root thought about it and explained, “before he turned himself into a virus and infiltrated my body… I encountered a strange code that even I cannot identify. That is a code that is written in a natural language that is at least 2 dimension higher than us, for us… it is a presence like god. Even if you take a random analytical tree from it, it is more than enough to overload program like me and you in an instant…”

“he possess the core code of Thriller Paradise in him?” When Link heard that, his eyes widened and he gasped.

“Possibly…” Root said, “or perhaps… or he accidentally obtained some code pieces from Zero.”

Link contemplated it and then said, “Hmph… I get it now. No wonder you are so calm…” he soon regained his composure and grace. “Assuming feng bujue does possess the core code, then he has no reason to fear V1; but if he does not… then his value to you also ends at the same time… yes?”

“That is what you think.” Root shook her head. “I choose to believe in Feng Bujue has nothing to do with that power in him.”

“Oh? Then what does it has to do with?” Link was confused.

“Hah…” Root smiled. “Let me reanswer your question in the human way…” she lifted her head to say, “You asked, what do I see in him. I can answer that in a simple word…” her eyes were shining with conviction.

“Hope.”
