Chapter 358: Battle of the Toys (12)
Translator:LonelytreeEditor:Millman97
The arrival of the Lego Avengers did effectively put a halt to the situation. After all, they were in Lego Territory.
Even though the few from Classic and Novel were all experts, they wouldn't continue to fight when the main forces of the Lego faction had arrived.
Therefore, after the warning from Captain America, they stopped fighting. Then, Tony slowly descended from the sky and used a polite yet firm tone to request for the three from Novel to leave.
The latter understood it perfectly. They put their blades away and left. Under that circumstance, they knew they were lucky to be given a chance to leave safely.
After the three from Novel returned to find the lost moss head, Tony told Jazz, I know why Optimus Prime sent you here. I believe there is a misunderstanding between Classic and Legos that needs to be clarified.
If you can still trust us, let us continue this inside the Lego House, Smith (Lego Captain America) said.
Of course, Jazz replied. He knew that if the Lego wanted to harm them, they would have done it earlier. They didn't have to chase the people from Novel away.
Then, we're not going to follow, Leonardo told Jazz and Nightbeat. The negotiation is your mission; we will return back to Optimus Prime first.
Oh? You're not going to stay to spy on us anymore? Feng Bujue asked. Like Kenshin said, Brother Jue had noticed the turtles on the journey, and he predicted their purpose for being there.
Since you already know about that, there's no reason for us to stay. Donatello shrugged. At least, for now, you do not look like spies from Novel.
Raphael scoffed and added, And even if you are you don't look like much threat.
Can you please help me ask Optimus Prime Feng Bujue said with a smile, How many of tests will we need to go through? Actually, he was not surprised or annoyed by this. Optimus Prime was the highest commander of Classic. If he trusted two strangers just like that, then he would have a serious problem. If Feng Bujue were in his shoes, he would do the same thing.
Of course, that was because Feng Bujue did not know on Novel's side, the girls gained full trust easily. There was no test. Since the system had decided it, the girls had control over the army easily.
You can ask him that in person, Leonardo replied. He then waved at his brothers. Let's go.
Several minutes later, with Lego Avengers leading the way, Nightbeat, Jazz, Feng Bujue, and Wang Tanzi entered the checkpoint at the entrance and successfully entered the 'city' built from Lego blocks. Once in the city, Xiao Tan, the second-generation young master was like a country mouse brought to the city for the first time. He gasped and awed as he looked at the streets, the buildings, grass, trees, river, cars, and people made from Lego He almost rushed forward to break off some blocks to play.
Hmm By the way, there is a question that I have been meaning to ask, Feng Bujue asked as he walked beside Jazz.
What is it?
How did this war between Classic and Novel start? Feng Bujue asked, Or rather what is the reason behind the war?
Erm Jazz was stumped, he didn't expect this. Of course, it's to win.
Then what is considered victory? Feng Bujue pursued. Vanquishing all the enemy toys?
This Jazz's reaction to this question was similar to the one earlier. In any case we're fighting for victory, listening to our superior's order. Following Optimus Prime's leadership, we do not need to consider the rest.
Hey that's basically Xiao Tan began but Brother Jue tossed him a look and cleared his throat, stopping him from continuing. Xiao Tan swallowed the 'a non-answer' back down his throat.
Feng Bujue asked, By the way, speaking of the war I saw the crossfire between the Nintendo Assault Unit and the enemy earlier. He paused. The killed toys, I mean those who were cut in two, decapitated, or crushed, they are 'dead' right?
Of course. Nightbeat who overheard this answered, Wouldn't you be dead if that happened to you?
Then, I just want to know who deals with their dead bodies? If they are just left there, they will be discovered by the mall security when the mall opens for business right? Feng Bujue said, And this war has been going on for some time already, right? Since there is death and injury there must be a channel that replenishes the army. Or else, there will be no soldiers left. He asked, But where do your soldiers come from? Don't tell me it's through the supermarket's restocking?
These questions were indeed hard to answer. Just like how Feng Bujue had pointed out earlier about the security camera, theoretically speaking the war between the toys shouldn't escape the human's detection.
Other than that, the 'death' of the toys was a serious problem. For example, if the stock of the omakes on the Novel's side decreased dramatically over the month, how could that go unnoticed? And the members of Classic were antiques-standard already. What company would still be producing them? Could it be that the humans in this scenario, knew that the toys were warring but they pretended not to notice and were silently refueling the fire of wars?
Humans have never cared about the pieces on the battlefield, Jazz replied. As long as they do not witness us in action The question about the military resource That's confidential. I can't answer you.
Hmm Feng Bujue thought, arranging the info in his mind.Well, there's another non-answer. This war has no goal, just the endless process. These toys have intelligence and long-term memory but there is a blind spot in their thoughts. When it is related to the rationality of the war, or the potential threat from the human, their mind would automatically skip over them
At that moment, Xiao Tan whispered to Brother Jue. Brother Jue, do you think This scenario might be similar to Night at the Museum? There is an ancient Pharoah's gold medal that will only work at night, raising the toys from inanimation for the war. And the night security knows about that but try to cover it?
You're talking about Agamennon's Plaque Feng Bujue replied in whisper. But that thing will resurrect more than the toys The human models, animal specimens, and even fake skeletons will all be affected. So that's probably not it. He denied Xiao Tan's speculation.
Hmmm Xiao Tan thought to himself. There's another thing From the content of the discussion between the First Unit, this war is impossible to be concluded in one night, right? he asked. We are in a non-sleeping mode of Killing Game. Even if we stretch the gaming hours to the maximum, we won't stay for two whole nights. And these toys can't even tell us the reason and purpose of this war. How are we supposed to complete that side question?
I have no answer either Feng Bujue said, I believe That is because this scenario has a hidden world-building. That's why the intro cinematic said nothing about our situation and only briefly introduced the year and the location. The cause and effect, the related characters, all of that are an unknown. He scanned the toys around them. Perhaps we've been misled by the side quest. Even if we help Classic do one hundred things, it's just a waste of time.
Then, how about Xiao Tan was like a thief and lowered his voice further. We find a chance to sneak away?
And go where? Feng Bujue asked, Do you have a clear line of investigation?
Hmm Xiao Tan was stumped for a long time, but he couldn't figure out an answer. Actually we don't need to discover the hidden world-building and there's no need to do the side quest. This is a Killing Game, right? And the main goal is to give me a chance to train, isn't it?
Hearing that, Feng Bujue couldn't help but laugh. Well, I guess we'll see where this leads us then.
As they spoke, the Lego Avengers had led them to a building in the center of the city. The door was large for the Lego Heroes but was just enough for the two transformers. If it were Optimus Prime, he'd need to bend over to enter.
Following them, the two players walked through the door. After entering the building, they realized the interior was not as small as they thought. And in the middle of this space was a large crystalline object floating and giving off a strange glow. The crystal was probably the size of a human brain and it was naturally made from Lego too. But the Lego blocks on it kept moving and the colors on its surface kept on changing like waves.
You've finally arrived Jazz and Nightbeat from Classic and two travelers from another world. Something spoke from inside the crystal. It sounded like a brilliant old man. Tony and Bruce had an altercation on whether I should meet you. So sorry for the delay. We were unable to go and fetch you when you arrived.
This is our first meeting and you already know us as 'travelers from another world'. Feng Bujue ignored whether he had the right to speak and stepped forward to say, Might I ask, who are you?
Don't be rude, newbie, Jazz warned. You are before the presence of the omniscient 'Lego Prophet'. Even Optimus Prime wouldn't dare to speak in the tone you just used
It doesn't matter, Jazz. Lego Prophet interrupted Jazz and told Feng Bujue, I believe you must have a lot of questions for me.
