Chapter 4 Determination

After entering the house and closing the door, Feng Bujue's expression immediately became solemn.

"That's not good..." he said to himself, "it's really Zuo Yan and Vidocq..."

Obviously, Brother Jue knows that person and the cat.

"Although I also know that scripts are sometimes randomly generated based on the player's memory and various images or text products that exist in the real world, but..." Feng Bujue leaned against the door and continued to read, "Let me encounter what I want." The characters in the novel I wrote... are a bit subtle..."

That's right, Zuo Yan and Vidocq who appeared in front of Brother Jue were the protagonists in his book "The Second-rate Detective and the Cat". Therefore, the moment he saw those two people, he felt like he had seen them before but had never met them before.

"Then here's the problem..." Feng Bujue muttered as he walked towards the bed, "With these two guys here...how can I last until chapter thirty-three..."

This is indeed a very serious problem, because the manuscript of each case in "The Second-rate Detective and the Cat" is about 15,000 to 20,000 words, converted into chapters of "Thriller Paradise", even if each chapter is very short, It can last for eight or nine chapters at most.

"Otherwise..." In the few seconds he walked from the door to the bed, a bad idea had already formed in Brother Jue's mind, "... I try to catch Vidocq first?"

As an author, Feng Bujue has a great advantage, that is, he knows the characters in his works very well, so the first idea that comes to his mind is to get rid of the "cat" first.

Brother Jue knew very well that Zuo Yan's threat was not very big. In the final analysis... this kid was just a "second-rate detective".

However, Vidocq is different...

When Feng Bujue wrote this character... oh no... Maowu, he didn't just give him a "King of Detectives" (Francos Jurgen Vidoc is a character who exists in reality, a real Legend, many famous detectives in later literary works borrowed the name of Vidocq). He also went to great lengths to give this cat the detective ability like a plug-in... In fact, Vidocq The character originally existed as a "plug-in" for the protagonist Zuo Yan.

This British shorthair cat is basically the "pinnacle of detectives" in terms of setting. He is a master of infiltration, tracking, and lie detection. He is proficient in criminal psychology, forensic anthropology, forensic identification, and many other majors... In short , but he has reached the master level in all knowledge and abilities that are helpful to the profession of "detective". If he lived in the DC universe, Batman would most likely have been exposed by him, arrested on the spot, charged with multiple crimes, and eventually thrown into a lunatic asylum to serve his sentence.

If you want to ask him why he is so ruthless towards Bruce Wayne, he will answer you: "Because I am the greatest detective in the world, meow."

"Anyway, as a cat... his weakness is obvious." Feng Bujue sat down on the bed and took out a tuna can from his jacket pocket, and held it in front of his eyes for a closer look; The can was brought from a roadside stall when he was collecting intelligence on the island this afternoon. There is no doubt that it is a can produced by the Herbert Company. "Use this as bait to catch him..." "While thinking, Brother Jue's eyes moved to the small freezer in the room, "Then put him in the freezer, unplug the power, lock the door... As long as there is a slight gap for him to breathe, he probably won't die. "

His plan seems simple and crude, but in fact it is very feasible, but there are still some technical problems.

For example... how to lure Vidocq away from Zuo Yan, and how to ensure that Vidocq will not be discovered after being imprisoned?

According to the setting of the novel, among humans, only Zuo Yan can have a communication similar to "spiritual dialogue" with Vidocq; although this communication is limited by distance, their dialogue will not be affected by other factors except distance. The influence of “factors that hinder the propagation of sound”.

For example, if Zuo Yan and Vidocq are placed in two soundproof rooms with only one wall separating them, they can still have a normal conversation; but if the distance between the two is widened to the point where ordinary people need to pass To the extent that shouting is required to hear clearly what the other person is saying, even if there is no barrier between them, spiritual communication cannot be established.

"Well... ignoring the walls and doors, the clear distance from the freezer to the corridor is only about five meters." Feng Bujue quickly thought of the problem, "If I were Vidocq, after being caught and imprisoned , I must immediately start shouting for help using the method of 'spiritual communication', and keep shouting. It doesn't take much time anyway... Considering that Zuo Yan lives on this floor, he will definitely pass by the corridor outside the door. At any moment he approached the room, he heard calls for help."

Thinking of this, Brother Jue's "freezer plan" has basically been overturned.

"Otherwise... take him further away to make sure no one can find him before I finish the script..." Feng Bujue then read again, "Or... simply give him... ..." Thinking of this, he shook his head almost instinctively, "No, no, it's too substandard to do that..."

The "method" he was talking about now was, of course, to kill Vidocq; this was easier than imprisoning Vidocq. Even if he was exposed, killing a cat did not constitute a criminal offense. The police could only Let him pay the cat's owner.

Objectively speaking, killing Victor is indeed a simple and extremely effective strategy that can help Brother Jue pass the level smoothly.

But... this is also a strategy that Feng Bujue will never implement.

No matter how the world defines it, in Brother Jue's heart, Victor is not a cat, but a detective. He is one of the two most challenging opponents that Brother Jue has encountered in the field of intelligence so far (the other is Woody), and he is also one of the very few characters that Feng Bujue can put himself in the position of a "weak" to formulate strategies.

At present, Feng Bujue has the advantage of being an "author", has mastered a lot of information about the opponent, and has gained the upper hand. Under this premise, if he uses his physical advantage again, he will kill Victor without intention... For Brother Jue, winning in this way is uglier than losing, and it can even be said to be a great insult.

“Heh… As expected… Let’s just forget it…” As he thought about it, Feng Bujue simply rejected the plan to imprison Vidocq, and revealed an expression of eagerness to try, and said softly, “This is a rare opportunity, so let me use all my strength, throw away my moral integrity, and use all my skills… to fight you two head-on.”
