Chapter 254 Brothers 18
The data of an NPC was naturally different from a monster’s. Things like fighting style and weaknesses were not available. After all, the system encouraged players to communicate with NPCs and not get into fights with them. After knowing that the other party was not hostile, Feng Bujue relaxed as he put his weapon away and walked to the shadow. When he was within two ters of the shadow, the latter suddenly raised one hand and extended his palm, signaling for Feng Bujue to stop.
Feng Bujue did what he was told and waited for the shadow’s reaction. The music ca from who knew where again, and the shadow went into the dance of Thriller. It was hard to tell whether it was trying to say sothing or not.
After two minutes, the shadow spun twice on the spot and pushed the handle of the door behind him. On the surface of the door, an invisible magic circle lost its power, and the sound of glass shattering ca. Then, the dancing shadow used its unique voice to yelp and brushed past Feng Bujue while dancing. As it faded away, the darkness surrounding Feng Bujue thickened.
Feng Bujue realized that one of the powers of the shadow was to control darkness. Because it had co above ground, the two floors aboveground had beco brighter, so as the shadow left, the surrounding darkness returned.
"Alright... there is only one thing left to do." Before the surroundings were completely swallowed up by darkness, he stepped forward, gripped the handle, and pushed the door open. The mont before he stepped into the room, Feng Bujue determined that he had found the source of the horrible sll that perated the house. Compared to the decaying sll in the room, the stench in the other rooms was barely worth ntioning. If one had to make comparison, it was like soone had farted in the room and then disappeared.
Once Feng Bujue stepped into the room, the door behind him closed on its own. The light in the room was blurry and muffled. Feng Bujue looked around through the gas mask. The first thing he saw was the synthetic human that he had seen earlier standing by the wall, the one with joints at his lower body. Now it was pinned to the wall with many thick nails. The chest wounds had already stopped leaking, and there was a pool of blood on the ground beneath it.
The synthetic creature with bone spurs was leaning in an alcove by the wall. There were two tal racks where he could put his ’hand’, and the middle part of the alcove had strange fern growing. They appeared to be the tongues’ food. Feng Bujue moved his eyes about. He noticed that the room was ridiculously large. The height of the room did not match the layout of the room. Obviously, this room did not belong to the part of the house. He looked around and noticed twenty synthetic creatures encased in the wall. They were of different appearances, but all of them were scary looking.
"Andrew, is that you?" A female voice ca from the darkness. Feng Bujue turned to the voice and saw a woman that was dried up like zombie in one of the alcoves. She only had an eyeball, dry skin, no hair, and rotting teeth, and she was radiated this horrible sll that caused Feng Bujue’s Life Points to drop. When Candace entered his gaze, another cinematic appeared.
...
"Andrew, my child, can’t you recognize anymore?" Candace asked softly.
Andrew looked at the monster before him in shock. He finally understood why Arthur had forbidden him from entering this room. "Mom... Mom... No, impossible, you are..."
"I am not dead." Candace’s voice was filled with hatred. "I was conscious even when I was buried. This is all Arthur’s doing. It’s him! He poisoned and faked my death! The day after the burial, he dug up and turned into this with alchemy!"
"But... But why would big brother..."
"He is not your brother! He is from the Xin clan! The epito of evil!" Candace cut him off. "Look at the monsters in this room. He has started to go after the innocent, hasn’t he?"
"No... those people..." Andrew still wanted to explain.
"Do not be tricked by him, Andrew!" Candace quickly added. "He is just using you. Look at what he has done to ! He will eventually do the sa to you!"
"Then... what... what should I do?"
"You have to be patient, Andrew. The current you is no match for him. You have to wait for an opportunity..." Candace lowered her voice. "You have to keep the secret that you have been here today. Do not expose anything to him, understood?"
"I..." Andrew was flustered.
"Co here. Listen to . I will tell you what to do..."
...
When the recap ended, Feng Bujue recovered, and he was already standing before Candace.
"Andrew, what happened to you?" Candace looked at Feng Bujue. "Wait... or are you Arthur?"
When Feng Bujue heard that, he instantly understood many things. Feng Bujue mimicked Andrew’s tone to say, "No, it’s , Andrew."
Candace took a good look at him. "What’s wrong with you? Did Arthur co after you?"
"The experint to exchange souls failed," Feng Bujue said as he took out the Advanced Study of Alchemy. He turned to the second chapter. By now, the content was no longer blurred. The system translated it, and the second chapter was a perfect example of the alchemy experint.
"Failed... What does that an? Where is Arthur?" Candace asked.
"I killed him, and he turned into this." Feng Bujue’s eyes landed on the book. Then he squatted down, dipped his finger in the unknown liquid nearby, and started to draw the magic circle according to the book.
Candace saw this and asked with curiosity, "What are you doing?"
"I’m trying to save you, Mother," Feng Bujue replied. "Using this magic circle, you can turn back into a normal human."
"Is it..." Candace breathed out.
"Arthur is dead. Mom, you don’t need to stay here anymore. We can return to our normal life."
"Yes... Yes... Hahaha..." Candace could not help but laugh, her joy undisguised. "Arthur is dead. Andrew, you are a good son... You have really killed that Xin clan demon. Hahaha... I can finally leave this place..."
Feng Bujue soon finished drawing the magic circle. He removed Candace from the wall and placed her in the middle of the circle. Then, he took out the six items in his pocket and placed them around her.
"Quick, Andrew, activate the circle," Candace urged.
"Why the hurry, mother?" Feng Bujue asked in a strange voice. "Are you that desperate to claim my power?"
"What... what are you talking about?" Candace’s expression shifted, but she quickly covered it up and asked, "An... Andrew, what are you talking about? I don’t understand..."
"Just mont ago, I realized sothing... I finally understood what Arthur ant when he called his ’silly little brother’." Feng Bujue smirked coldly. "Actually, I am also not your son."
