Chapter 491: Godlike… Teammate?
10 minutes later, inside the underground safehouse. This place was Ja Ja Ja Ja’s government’s final defence line. Only the only exit was closed, the safehouse could defend against normal war weaponry. But… due to the presence of the traitor, the government officials at Ja Ja Ja Ja did not have the time to escape to this place before the whole building was overthrown. Instead, this place became Prof Sui’s final sanctuary.
“Qie… they cut through everything…” Prof Sui looked at the surveillance images that slowly darkened and he could basically predict the movement of the superheroes.
“Hmm… this is strange.” Staff Dai Dai Dai Dai stood behind the prof and said while looking at the group of screens. “How come their route is not clear and targeted? It is like… they have already known where the safehouse is.”
“Yes… and the robots that we have been sending out from this place have been taken down one after another…” Prof Sui added. The two then said darkly in unison. “Hmm… Why is that?”
“Are you the traitor?!” The two of them gave this reaction at the same time while pointing at each other.
“Are you kidding? Have you lost your mind? I am the boss here! Why would I betray myself?” Prof Sui grumbled.
“Hmph…” Staff Dai scoffed. “Who can really tell… it is because your suspicion is the smallest that you are the most suspicious… Isn’t the least suspicious person most often the killer in detective novels?”
“What nonsense!” Prof Sui replied. “Now there are only two of us left, so clearly the traitor will have to be you! You are only trying to deflect the suspicion by throwing it onto me… He he…” he too scoffed. “Do you think that will work on me? Before my great intelligence, this kind of mind trick will not work!”
Bang—With a heavy thud, the super thick metallic door cracked and three figures sauntered into the safehouse.
“Ah~ They are really here…” Feng Bujue looked at the two before them and said weakly.
…
“Damn… they arrived so soon…” Prof Sui hissed through his teeth.”
“yes… we follow the trail of the robots and came right to this place without taking any detour…” Brother Jue sighed. “When I saw the nanobot, I had some expectation for your intellect but… aiz… why did I even waste my time to destroy the cameras along the way…”
“What!” Prof Sui and Staff Dai gasped. “So that is how you found us!”
“Ha?” This time Feng Bujue really had no idea what they were talking about.
“Hmph… Impressive! I have underestimated you… No wonder you are a super intelligent superhero, you managed to use this kind of method to locate us so quickly…” Prof Sui glared at Brother Jue.
Staff Dai added, “And… you almost caused us to turn on ourselves. Your conspiracy sure is cunning and wicked…”
Hearing that, Feng Bujue was stunned for 2 seconds. Then he took a deep breath. “Hah… pew…”
Then Brother Jue slowly walked to the corner of the room, stood facing the wall, shoved his hands into his pocket, teetered his body back and forth and then… he started to use his forehead to knock against the wall.
“What are you doing!” Prof Sui and Staff Dai both bounced back with alert (they were both armored up), “Is it some kind of attack? You bastard!” Feng Bujue ignored him and continued to ram his head against the wall…
The other four in the room had no idea what he was doing. They did not dare to make any sudden move, they chose to wait to see what would happen. After doing this for a minute, Brother Jue turned around and said with a pair of dead fish eyes. “Hmph… I have now accepted your background and set up, it is over now.”
“Hmm?” Prof Sui gasped in shock. “What did you say?”
Feng Bujue ignored the man’s question, he raised his arm to point and asked in great solemnity, “Sui Sui Sui Sui! You are a scary genius scientist! How could you do something like this! What is your goal?!”
After hearing that Prof Sui guffawed. “Ha ha ha… Now you know the feeling of fear? If you wish to know, then I will tell you! I wish to use my robot army to take over the whole universe!”
“Nani?!” Feng Bujue panicked. “So Ja Ja Ja Ja is just your stepping stone, you’re going after Shrugging Planet next and then the whole universe!” His expression changed. “Wait… something does not add up! With your army, at most you can occupy one to two planets, how can you manage to take over a whole universe?”
“Ha ha! You are too innocent!” Prof Sui laughed. “480 Sui (a unit to calculate distance for Shrugging Planet’s Aliens) from this place, there is a underwater base. My automatic factory is producing 4 robot beasts every hour and now that I have obtained the whole resource of Ja Ja Ja Ja. It wouldn’t be long until I can replicate more than hundred of such bases and then the whole universe…”
“Okay… so there is where the hostages and the government official are currently held captive…” Feng Bujue scratched his chin to say.
“Ah!” Something hit Prof Sui and he shouted. “You sleazy little man!” Staff Dai also gasped in shock. “This… he managed to squirrel out such an important information from us without using any threat, this man is too scary…”
“Alright, my work is done.” Feng Bujue turned around to tell Pi Li Dance Hero and Tap Monster. “I’ll leave the rest to the two of you…”
“oh! Well done, the Poker.” PI Li Dance Hero praised in his Indian accent. “Very good!”
“Now it won’t matter if we accidentally kill them right,” Tap Monster moved his gaze to fall on Prof Sui and Staff Dai.
“You… you…” Prof Sui was covered in sweat. “Don’t think you are that good after defeating my three generals, my armor is… Ah!”

……
10 minutes later, the five returned to the street. Earlier… once the song for Beat it started to play, with the dance combo from Pi Li Dance Hero and Tap Monster, Prof Sui and Staff Dai crumbled like lego blocks. They soon surrendered. If not for their body armor, they would have died already.
“Ha! Look, the spaceship from the league is here already!” The Tap Monster shouted at the sky while pointing at it. Feng Bujue naturally also saw the black dots in the sky. He added. “Hmm… there are quite a lot of them. There are like… hundreds of them…”
“Hmm? This is strange…” Pi Li Dance Hero said, “There shouldn’t be so many of them.”
Tap Monster also added. “Hmm… Reinforcement, rescue and capture teams all use medium sized ships and from what I can see… there are only about 10 of them.” He paused. “But why are there so many small size battle ships?”
“They are probably worried that we cannot handle a Grade C Emergency.” Pi Li Dance Hero said half-jokingly.
At that moment, suddenly…
A earth yellow toad-shaped spaceship came out from the fleet. It flew to them with super speed before suddenly stopping. It was a very small ship, even smaller than the Curry. The hatch opened and a man in toad aromor jumped out to stand before Feng Bujue’s group.
“You are under arrest.” Once Toadman landed, he announced to Feng Bujue. This member of USL’s highest committee had a low growl and sturdy built. In terms of physique, he did not know that much different from an earthling but he was wearing a mask so his actual appearance was still an unknown.
“Erm… have you gotten something wrong…” Feng Bujue replied, “Even though I’m not that famous, I’m at least a super…”
“You liar.” Toadman cut him off. His words were strong, powerful and confident. “I used your hair left on the Curry to carry out test, it is undeniable… that you are a pure Earthling. But there is no trace of your DNA on the whole Earth or the other human colonies…” He paused as if he was watching Brother Jue’s expression. “There is no record of your birth, if you have lived on this universe for so long, you must have left some trace; but you… appeared to have materialized from thin air. Even the USL’s supercomputer cannot find any trace of your presence.” He took one forceful step forward. “So, you… must have come from another universe or another dimension…”
Feng Bujue’s expression was unchanged, but internally he was grumbling. [Are you kidding me… This is like the difficulty has suddenly jumped from PONG to Hunk! Where does this super intelligent bastard come from? Does he even exist in the same universe as the people I’ve met so far?]
“Other than that…” Toadman continued. “From your various performance, it is still unclear… whether you are really human.”
“Oh?” Feng Bujue astutely captured some sensitive information. “You were able to know… what I did after leaving the Curry?”
Toadman asked darkly, “Is there any problem with that?”
“Hah…” Brother Jue laughed icily. “I get it now… You have installed micro surveillance device on Pi Li Dance Hero and Tap Monster.”
“What?” When the two heard that, they gasped in shock.
“Is that true, Toadman?” Tap Monster demanded.
“calm down.” Toadman answered. “We will return to the league and discuss this later.”
“I think what he means to say is ‘yes, I did do that but let’s not talk about it before this stranger’.” Feng Bujue translated with a laugh. “If I am not mistaken…” His eyes matched Toadman’s searing gaze. “You should be spying on all superheroes that are star level and above and those who have unique superpowers…”
“Toadman!” Pi Li Dance Hero shouted. “Is it true, what the Poker said…”
“Yes…” Toadman knew what the man was about to say, so he admitted. “I do not deny that…. But I believe you at least need to give me a chance to explain.” He turned to give Feng Bujue a long careful look. “We will discuss everything after we bring this ‘unknown and unidentified threat’ back to the headquarters…”
