"Can't," Billy answered resolutely because he actually couldn't do that . Also, he didn't think lying could solve the problem .

Feng Bujue had guessed that he would receive a negative answer, so the request he made was just a skill in negotiation . In such a not too equal cooperation relationship, the favorable side can always raise their price higher right at the beginning and then gradually reduce . This can help them test the bottom line of the other .

"Why?" asked Feng Bujue .

"This pistol is the extension of my ability . When it's out of my 'control' range, it will disappear," Billy answered . "Since I've been in this reincarnation for quite a long time, the affinity between my power and this space is extremely high . That's why you can bring it anywhere within the prison . If it happens in a strange place, if the gun is kept farther than one hundred meters away from me, this item will disappear . " He added, "Besides, what's called 'kill in one shot' is just me using my power in controlling space to adjust it . I can control any matter in this space precisely . Thus, the bullet's destructive power and the accuracy are all under my control . "

"It's true that the guy called Faster is guarding the main gate of the prison . Although it's just a door away, it's considered outside . " Feng Bujue said, "If I acted as you've planned, following a series of guides then eventually, I would get into the first corridor and meet that guy, wouldn't it be me holding an inoperative pistol—"

Billy intervened him, "Among the three of us, only my power's upper limit is higher than Faster's . Thus, it would be okay if you stepped out of that gate . As long as I'm standing near you, I can give this gun enough destructive power . Besides, what's called 'outside' is not actually outside . That area of Faster can only be considered the 'Gate . ' And, the Lord of Time's spell is its secure lock . "

"Ah . . . It's so . Anyway, that pistol's made by your power . If I just pull the trigger, could it be considered me killing him?" asked Feng Bujue .

"It's not important the ways, tools or where the power burst out to kill Faster . The important thing is…'Who' does that fatal hit," answered Billy . "The ones who use dark magic have borrowed the power of the Antiquity Devil King to cast spells . The people who use elements magic will acquire the power of nature… Thus, the descendants of those who got killed by magic should find the ones who cast the spell to take revenge . Do they really need to find the Antiquity Devil King or the whole earth and firmament to take revenge?"

"Yeah . . . Got it," Feng Bujue said . "In short, it will work if 'I' do that, right…" He lifted his head . "If you guys kill Faster on your own, you will fall into the reincarnation again, and Faster will resurrect out there, is it true?"

Alden continued, "Yes . The Lord of Time's spell's really malicious . If 'prisoners' kill the 'jailer,' everything will be reset to the original state . Faster will appear again outside, and our power will decline to the bottom . It takes a lot of time to recover to our current state .

"Previously, we couldn't totally control this space . We wouldn't find the gate or could change the surroundings or teleport . Moreover, at every time we got reincarnated, there will be a new monster comes to torture us . Before we can fully recover, we've already got killed many times . Sadly, we can't even die in prison . After we got killed, we will be resurrected with the weakest state . "

As Feng Bujue heard that he turned around to see Rabbit .

Rabbit knew what he wanted to ask, said beforehand, "No need to check me out . Billy said it before . He'd adjusted the power of the bullet right at the very last moment . So, your shot didn't 'kill' me . Of course… The way I escaped looks embarrassing . "

"In other words… even if I had killed you, it would have been alright?" asked Feng Bujue .

"How can it be alright! Alden just said that after we got killed, we'll be resurrected with the weakest conditions, and it'll take a lot of time to recover to the peak," answered Rabbit .

"Hey, have you ever tried using SCP-173 to kill Faster?" asked Feng Bujue .

"Of course, we have," Billy answered . "However, all those monsters were hard to control . And, when we're at the peak of our strength, we're able to threaten them and lure them to approach the gate of the prison . But those monsters disappeared after they'd crossed through the gate . Then, immediately, a new monster will be thrown into the jail . "

"Oh . . . " Feng Bujue nodded and said, "Alright . Back to the conditions I've said… Yeah, I can't bring the pistol away, how about the Contra Medals?"

"Same reason . I say I have enough power to hold the absolute control to the space inside the prison . As long as you're not teleported away due to 'Poison burst out,' I can revive you many times as I please," Billy said . "But if you've got out of here…"

"Do we have anything else to negotiate?" Feng Bujue intervened him and said, "If I can't have any benefit, why should I cause grudge with a big man like the Lord of Time because of you guys? You're not my relatives, why do I need to help you break out?"

"Don't you want to finish the scenario…" Billy said rigidly .

Feng Bujue interrupted him once again, "I used to be keen on this purpose, but when I know the situation of this 'Prison'…" He made air quotes . "I think, cooperating with you guys isn't a good deal to me . " He said deliberately, "I'd rather let the poison burst out and fail the game than playing some tricks to stand against the Lord of Time…" He paused then added, "Especially when there's no reward . "

"Alright…" Billy hesitated before speaking up again, "Hold on…"

Next, it was a period of silence . Billy, Alden, and Rabbit looked like they were having some sort of spirit communication because it was hard to find any traces on their faces . Feng Bujue then didn't care about it as if he was a dead pig that wouldn't be afraid of being boiled . It was like failing this scenario was actually fine to him, as he was sitting there, waiting for their answer .

"Hmm… Although it's tough, we can try to fabricate a Contra Medal that you can bring out of here and use later," Billy finally spoke up .

"Specifically, how does it work?" asked Feng Bujue .

"In fact, it's not complicated," Alden said . "The three of us can unify our strength and make a medal that works even when it's not in this space . "

Feng Bujue contemplated for a while . "Is this the biggest benefit you guys are offering me?"

"Yes . Under the limited time circumstance, it's really hard to make an item like that . It even can shake the foundation of our powers," Billy continued . "If you won't accept it, we—"

"Good, I accept it," Feng Bujue determinedly interrupted him before the other said something unpleasant to hear . "Gimme that, and we'll go catch Faster . "

"This seems not good…" Rabbit said, "What if you will run away when you got the item?"

"If I can have the medal and clear the scenario at the same time, why I should go when I just have the item?" Feng Bujue asked .

"Killing Faster is just the exertion of lifting my hand . I just need to grab the gun you guys fabricated, aim for the target and pull the trigger, right?" He looked at Billy . "In comparison, I should be more wary of you guys . What if I help you guys kill Faster and free you from the reincarnation, then you won't pay me as promised or just kill me directly…" Feng Bujue held up three fingers . "Thus, first thing, I got nothing good from you . Second thing, I'll be dragged into the Lord of Time's blacklist without any real reasons . And the last one, in the end, I still can't finish the scenario . " He shook his head . "Moreover, even if you give me the medal beforehand, I can't exclude the possibility that you guys will kill me to ease your anger after everything is done . Then, I still got nothing .

"The risk I'll bear is getting greater . So, if the thing I need is not in my hand, I will determinedly quit!"
