Feng Bujue was not surprised by Jesus’ appearance because this was South Park’s world. In this world, Jesus, Satan, God, Cthulhu, Obama… anything had a fair chance of showing up. The Jesus in South Park was normally an approachable dude with a soft voice. He hosted a talk show on TV and was a member of a superhero group. But whenever it was necessary, Brother Jesus would show up with his surprising fighting ability and save the world from danger.
“We have seen your generosity and kindness in helping others, Beep. Don’t worry, it is time for Super Best Friends to come help you!” another voice said. The group turned to the voice and saw that ten meters behind Jesus, several figures dropped down from the sky, surrounded by light.
“These data groups…” R2 looked at them gloomily. “They are the special bosses of this world… They are surprisingly strong.”
“How can Super Best Friends not be strong?” Feng Bujue pointed at the group of divine beings and introduced them one by one. “Buddha, with unknown powers, can show up anywhere anytime he wishes; Muhammad controls of fire; Krishna can assume various forms; Joseph Smith can shoot ice breams from his mouth; Taoist Lao Zi can control the power of Qi, and… hmm?”
Feng Bujue was startled, he turned to Jesus and asked, “Why isn’t Seaman[1] with you?”
“Haha… Haha…” The group of divine beings laughed shamelessly. “Did you hear that, he said se… men?”
They purposely drew the pronunciation out and then hugged together in a laugh.
“Fine, I probably shouldn’t have asked that.” Feng Bujue face-palmed and shook his head.
“I understand it now.” R2 suddenly gathered focus and concluded, “This is the system helping you.”
Feng Bujue was thinking that he had perhaps gotten aid from the strongest party of justice because he had saved Stan’s family, but after hearing R2, he overruled his original speculation. “Oh… the system wants me to leave this place alive, so it’s mobilized these guys to help me…”
When they spoke, the Super Best Friends rushed forward and showed off their power. The massacre upon the Origin’s Anomalies began. At that moment, the field of South Park Elementary was filed with hail and explosions. Blood and flesh flew, and dead bodies were everywhere. The Anomalies were no match, and they soon dispersed in a cloud of data. L2 did not even have the chance to give a parting word; she turned and ran. She knew that the Super Best Friends all had the ability to fly, so while the other Anomalies were there to act as a distraction, she had to retreat while she could.
Seeing that victory was at hand, Feng Bujue started to chat with R2. “Since the system can send these people to save me, why wouldn’t the system use the same method to take out the Anomalies in other scenarios? These powerful beings are far more efficient than the GMs mixed in the playerbase.”
“You are very sensitive to realize that so soon,” R2 replied. “But I cannot give you the answer to that question.”
“Oh? Interesting, it’s not that you don’t know, but you can’t answer.” Feng Bujue remembered what the man said when they were at the shopping mall. Concluding everything, he hypothesized, “Can I make this assumption then? Actually, the system does not want to wipe you all out but wishes to conduct some sort of training and elimination through these scenarios. Therefore, it will only rely on GMs to serve as challenges in normal scenarios. But this kind of sandbox designed by Origin is a form of cheating. This is obviously against the intention of the system, so it will stop at nothing to…”
“Regarding your statement, I can give no affirmative answer.” R2 interrupted him. “I can only tell you, theoretically speaking… the system will not mobilize these god-like bosses, or else wouldn’t sandboxes become a slaughterhouse more dangerous than normal scenarios?”
“Ho…” Feng Bujue fished for the info he needed and said with a smile, “Therefore, it is because I am here that the system has mobilized this bunch of gods to initialize this massacre? Like you said earlier, I’ve come to the wrong place. Indeed, as a player, I should have entered a system-generated scenario when I queue up for a game. So, here is the problem… Why was I sent to this sandbox?”
“That’s because…” R2 only said these two words when he stopped. At the same time, his eyes glowed. Several seconds later, he said, “Roger that…”
Then his gaze fell on Feng Bujue again. “The backdoor is at the school canteen. I’ll need to leave for now because I have something else to do. Goodbye.”
Then he turned and leaped away without even turning back.
“Hey… What do you mean by that? It’s obvious that you have been silenced by someone! Hey!” Feng Bujue shouted, but with a few leaps, the Anomaly had disappeared from his sight. At that moment, a hand pressed on Brother Jue’s shoulder.”
“Traveler from another world, the road has been cleared. You can return home now.” It was unclear when Jesus arrived behind Feng Bujue.
“Oh… Okay.” When Feng Bujue turned around, he wanted to say that he would stay for a while longer, but he swallowed his words because he realized that the six Super Best Friends had silently surrounded him. This was the system giving him a message—leave or suffer the consequences.
Brother Jue was thus ‘escorted’ by the six gods to the school canteen. Due to power outage, the canteen was dark, but that did not matter because the ‘original backdoor’ was a light source. Its appearance was a rectangular collection of flowing data. It was attached to one of the canteen walls, and it was glowing extremely white from within.
“Child, you can put the backpack down. The materials from this world will not be able to pass through that door,” Jesus told him.
“Hmm… as I expected…” Feng Bujue answered. He had guessed as much. After all, the data in the sandbox was ‘illegally replicated’. The items and weapon taken from this place naturally would not be able to enter the log-in lobby even if the item description said that they could be taken out from the scenario.
“It doesn’t really matter, does it? After all, when I pass through the door, they will all automatically disappear.” At this point, Feng Bujue was suddenly reminded of something. “Oh, right, I still have one thing that I need to do.”
[1] Seaman can breathe underwater and communicate with fish. This character is a parody of the DC character Aquaman. Other than that, since Seaman sounds like another noun, he’s often the subject of mockery for the other members of the Super Best Friends.
