Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 475 - 83: The Leader of the Evolution Zone_2
This is the Cube Man, always carrying a cube and acting alongside the Riddle Man, a monster.
To call him a monster is because his strength is simply too powerful.
The devices of mankind stand no chance against him.
The appearance of Cube Man alarmed the fifth level.
With the FBI's call for help, the Evolution District dispatched dozens of B-level test subjects, and even included a few A-level ones.
This was the first time Lincoln Fortress had deployed such a number of test subjects for a single criminal.
In a sense, these test subjects are the superheroes of this fortress.
Although behind these superheroes, there are groups of scientists who have little regard for morality.
But, it's evident Lincoln Fortress's officials underestimated Cube Man's strength.
This monster, who seemed to be pondering some cosmic puzzle while fiddling with his cube, easily annihilated all the test subjects.
And being in league with Riddle Man made his whereabouts extremely elusive.
In just a few days, Cube Man demonstrated a fighting capacity that made the criminal world tremble.
It was as if, in a world of martial arts, a cultivator had suddenly appeared.
Many criminal bigshots believed that Cube Man was so powerful he transcended boundaries.
He had become so strong that even human fortresses were powerless against him.
It was evident in how the Riddle Man, who usually gave the FBI the runaround, had started to use his brain less.
It wasn't hard to understand; when one could easily destroy everything, why would anyone go to the trouble of planning and considering details?

In short, Cube Man had piqued the interest of many heavy hitters in the crime world, and they began to express their good will toward him.
And all the toy store owners in Lincoln Fortress, the proprietors of the LEGO stores, experienced the worst slump in their careers.
To curry favor with Cube Man, their shops would be robbed every now and then.
The biggest move came from Penguin Man, who even bought several toy factories.
Fortune smiles on those who are prepared; Penguin Man's hoard of toys finally forced Riddle Man into cooperation.
Thus, in the Gotham District of Lincoln Fortress's fourth level, the strongest criminals started to join forces.
This all happened in just three days' time.
While Lincoln Fortress was at a loss about what to do with the League of Villains, just when it seemed the whole fortress would be swallowed by a crime wave, a huge reversal took place.
Because on the fourth day, Riddle Man and Penguin Man were tied up at the entrance of the police bureau.
And high above on the simulated nighttime ceiling, a gigantic bat signal shone.
...
...
In this world where Santa Claus doesn't exist, naturally there is no Batman.
Tang Feiji, known as Cube Man, was engrossed in studying the cube.
Tang Xian sat inside Penguin Man's secret base, personally teaching Tang Feiji how to solve the cube.
"So why set up a Bat-Signal?" Tang Feiji asked.
He didn't understand Tang Xian's peculiar sense of humor.
Tang Xian said,
"There are many poor imitators in this world, and I'm one of them."
Tang Feiji pretended to understand.
These days following Riddle Man around robbing the world and causing havoc were a decent diversion for Tang Feiji.
But it was just a diversion.
The human world, compared with the Myriad Beasts Realm, ultimately wasn't thrilling enough.
Although Tang Feiji had been severely taught a lesson by Gluttony last time, it didn't take many days for him to crave a challenge with creatures of such powerful caliber again.
In comparison, the so-called test subjects in Lincoln Fortress, the purchased Judgment Knights, or the regular human armed forces, all seemed too childish.
And while Riddle Man believed he had Tang Feiji under his control, Tang Xian appeared.
Then he wrapped up these criminals and delivered them to the Gotham District Police Bureau.
American comics had a profound influence on the people of Lincoln Fortress. Maybe setting up a Bat-Signal as a bit of wicked humor could also intimidate the criminals?
That was the reason behind Tang Xian's actions.
"I lost track of Arkasi and the others."
"I never expected you to keep an eye on them anyway."
"They're just too dull."
Tang Xian shrugged and said,
"The big play is still brewing. Everyone has their own script; Arkasi and others coming here are probably looking for answers in the Evolution District. They are safe for now."
"Why?"
"In ancient military tactics, there's a strategy called 'Distracting Wei to rescue Zhao, make noise in the east, strike in the west'.
Song Que has been brought into the Evolution District, and the upper echelons of Lincoln Fortress must be nervous.
But at this time, with the emergence of a Cube Man more powerful than Song Que, with the situation escalating to a threat to the entire Lincoln Fortress, would their attention remain fully on Arkasi and these other rescuers?"
"I see." Tang Feiji continued to pretend he had understood.
He thought these four words were very useful.
It was like when the Riddler left a riddle, if he said this, the Riddler would reveal an expression of knowing intimacy.
Tang Xian did not unmask him but tossed the magic cube to Tang Feiji instead.
"I've demonstrated already, now it's your turn to 'Eureka' and piece it together."
Tang Feiji caught the magic cube, recalling the techniques Tang Xian had mentioned.
This time, he showed a confident expression and started turning the magic cube quickly.
The first face was assembled in a mere ten seconds.
Tang Feiji revealed a triumphant look and began on the second face.
Three minutes later, Tang Feiji finished the second face.
Five minutes later, Tang Feiji finished the second face.
Twenty minutes later, Tang Feiji finished the second face.
…
Two hours later, Tang Xian woke from his nap, and Tang Feiji had still only completed the second face.
"Not bad, I can still trick him four more times," thought Tang Xian.
"Why can't I do it even though I followed your instructions? You didn't explain it in enough detail," Tang Feiji exclaimed angrily!
"Just as humans are unable to prove overly simple things, it's not that I didn't explain in enough detail, but this is already the most meticulous part. If I explain further, your IQ won't be able to grasp it,"
Tang Xian said seriously.
Tang Feiji couldn't understand why humans were unable to prove overly simple matters.
He looked at Tang Xian with a puzzled expression.
Tang Xian said:
"Anyway, the magic cube is pretty simple, the rule is just to make all six faces the same color, the trick is spatial calculation, figure it out yourself."
Tang Feiji was confused, wasn't this the same as saying nothing?
Tang Xian looked at Tang Feiji and started to laugh.
This foolish dragon reminded him of a particularly interesting and difficult mathematical problem among humans.
How to prove that one plus one equals two.
One plus one equals two is the foundational rule of all mathematics, a law.
But proving that one plus one equals two is incredibly hard.
Because to prove it, you have to assume that one plus one does not equal two, and if so, the whole mathematical system collapses.
And Tang Feiji is the fool who knows that one plus one equals two, yet still foolishly tries to prove that one plus one equals two.
Because the so-called magic cube...in truth has no tricks to it.
It's nothing but memory and spatial calculation ability.
Tang Feiji tried for a long time, but ultimately couldn't do it.
Even though he had realized that the magic cube hiding treasures was probably a lie.
But the toy was too interesting.
However, at the moment, Tang Feiji stopped, he didn't like the Pyramid, there was too little to eat there.
"When are we going back? Don't you want to save Song Que? Aren't you worried about him being brainwashed or something?"
"A person who is inherently righteous and generous, who has experienced the topmost level of corruption in a wealthy family, yet still can speak up for the lower-class people, who has gone through the darkest events and discarded all his talents to bring light to others,
And ultimately gets betrayed by the world, but still remains steadfast in his original purpose, there's no way such a person could be brainwashed.
Maybe he's the one doing the brainwashing."
Tang Xian still had a lot of confidence in Song Que.
"So, are we going to save him or not?"
"Of course we are, but the Evolution Zone is still somewhat lacking right now."
"Lacking what?"
"A leader."
Tang Feiji didn't understand; if this was the headquarters of the Evolution Zone, naturally, the leader should be here.
Tang Xian said:
"What the Evolution Zone is doing is too similar to what the Myriad Beasts Court is doing.
I often wonder, with human military strength so weak at the moment, how the Evolution Zone manages to control powerful test subjects like Yuanwu Arkasi.
Military strength? These weapons might be destroyed by Arkasi before they can even be used."
This time, Tang Feiji actually performed beyond expectations and kept up with Tang Xian's pace.
"Are you saying that the leader of the Evolution Zone is actually a member of the Myriad Beasts Court?"
"Huh, you're actually being smart for once. In fact, I not only believe he is from the Myriad Beasts Court, but I also think he might even be one of the Judgment Chiefs."
"How do you know he isn't here?"
"If he were here, why would Lincoln Fortress need me, Batman?"
(There might be another chapter, but even if there is, it would have to be tonight.)
