Chapter 1018

The Genuine Vice President of the History School

Cheng Shi did not stay long in the alley.

Although he had already contacted the Yu Hui Sect, waiting on the spot for "subordinates" was a bit too demeaning, and a noble subordinate god shouldn't make things convenient for mortals to request an audience.

If this group of 【Chaos】 believers didn't even have the means to find their own master, then the Yu Hui Sect shouldn't be called a sect; they should change their name to a circus, and every single follower inside was a clown.

Anyway, 【Chaos】 was originally played by 【Fraud】, so thinking about it this way was also reasonable.

However, this was not the main reason Cheng Shi left; he did have some ideas, and although these ideas couldn't be called a plan, in this chaotic Tusnat, it could be considered finding a little direction.

So he quickly left the area with Hu Xuan; as for where to go, to be honest, Cheng Shi didn't know the way, but fortunately, he still knew what the place he was supposed to go was called.

"Do you remember that Pelaia you told me about? Do you know where her laboratory is?"

"Pelaia?"

Hu Xuan naturally remembered; it was precisely because of this great scholar's betrayal that the Death Knell Knights were invited into the inner city of Tusnat, but her knowledge of this history was only superficial, and it was somewhat difficult for her to accurately find the location of the laboratory in a city swept by chaos.

So Hu Xuan shook her head and asked in confusion:

"Are you still looking for the 【Gift of Scars】?"

"I heard that Hu Wei and the others have already given up; it seems it was taken away by someone fishing in troubled waters."

"......" Cheng Shi curled his lips and said, "No need to probe, it was me."

"I knew it was you." Hu Xuan also smiled, "Since you have already obtained that dagger, why go to her laboratory?"

"Or is there some secret hidden in her laboratory related to this trial?"

"By the way, I forgot to ask, Cheng Shi, when did you become the Vice President of the History School again? Did you trick them?"

"Trick? How is that possible? I never trick people."

Cheng Shi smiled mysteriously, "This identity as Vice President is the genuine article, but taking you there has nothing to do with the History School."

"In that trial, I accidentally learned the details of Pelaia's experiment and heard that the shell of the 【Wasteland Walker】 had fallen into Pelaia's hands. I also knew that when the Yu Hui Sect attacked Tusnat, several great scholars were willing to give up resisting the underworld just to rush into her laboratory and snatch this subordinate god's shell."

"It's just that I didn't suspect it at the time, thinking it was just an inconspicuous academic struggle before the chaos completely spread, but now it seems...... things might not be that simple."

Cheng Shi walked toward the place where the scholars were fleeing in all directions, wanting to catch a few scholars to ask for directions, while looking out at the entire city engulfed in flames, and explained to Hu Xuan:

"The Yu Hui Sect's invasion speed is more exaggerated than I imagined. Under Galiusha's instigation and Pelaia's betrayal, the underworld's counterattack has almost destroyed all of Tusnat. Now it seems that only the area near the Tomorrow Truth Tower still has some living forces capable of resistance."

"And this means that Tusnat will soon fall completely, and the flames of war and destruction are about to spread to the entire Tower of Reason."

"So when the country is no longer a country, why are these great scholars still obsessed with snatching the shell of the 【Wasteland Walker】?"

"Even if they snatched this shell, where would they have an experimental field to replicate the experiment!?"

"There is another point: Pelaia betrayed the Scholarly Chair Council, so she would never leave any experimental methods for the Tower of Reason, so they snatched the 【Wasteland Walker】 definitely not for the 【Gift of Scars】 that I took, but for some other purpose."

"Looking at the desperate situation the scholars are currently facing, I have to guess that these great scholars might want to use the shell of the 【Wasteland Walker】 to do something to save Tusnat and complete a turnaround."

"As for what they are doing, I certainly can't guess, but this clue is enough."

"Finding these scholars who snatched the shell, we might be able to find the experiment truly pointed to in this trial."

"The trial hint says that limited truth is never truth......"

"Yes, if the Scholarly Chair Council really ends here, who else in this world will seek 【Truth】 on behalf of 【Truth】?"

Hearing these analyses, the heat in Hu Xuan's eyes as she looked at Cheng Shi was no longer concealed.

Not long ago, the Cheng Shi before her was just a "lazy" player who asked questions everywhere and pieced information together, but now, he could already glimpse the small movements of those stirring up the situation from the gaps in history and make decisions based on them.

Sure enough, everyone is growing, it's just that the Fate Weaver grows especially fast.

Not long after, Cheng Shi caught two tongues in the chaotic crowd; these two terrified scholars thought the Death Knell Knights had come and were so scared they trembled for a long time without being able to speak.

Fortunately, Cheng Shi had many methods, and under the comfort of his kind smile, the two quickly pointed them in a direction.

Cheng Shi and Hu Xuan rushed toward Pelaia's laboratory without hesitation; along the way, the traces of Death Knell Knights became fewer and fewer, but the traces of scholar infighting became more and more frequent.

It can be seen that Pelaia had significant influence in the Existence Tracing Department, and the scholars under her did not give up on this experiment that could prove the value of the Existence Tracing Department.

By the time they reached the entrance of this laboratory, the corpses lying horizontally inside and outside the door and the flowing blood showed them that the intensity of this infighting was no less than the invasion of external enemies.

As for whether the winner was the great scholar who came to snatch the shell or the scholar who guarded the experiment, Cheng Shi couldn't say for sure, but he knew he was still a step late.

Because he saw Fang Yuan, who had just stepped into the void and disappeared, walking out of the laboratory with a frown.

Obviously, this square-faced little fatty had thought of the same thing as him.

And seeing Cheng Shi appear here, Fang Yuan was also quite surprised.

"Being able to track here shows that you have a deep understanding of this history. What, are you really the Vice President of the History School?"

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that this person hadn't left after entering the void, but had stayed at the scene to listen to the story for a while.

Sure enough, every player in a high-end game has eight hundred heart-eyes.

"Of course, if there is any information that needs to be exchanged later, you can come to me. In order to complete the 'performance,' the price I offer is lower than others." Cheng Shi smiled and glanced at the laboratory, "What did you discover?"

Fang Yuan was a down-to-earth person; he looked far less unobservant of 【Order】 than Meng Youfang had said. He did not hide it but stated his findings truthfully.

"The thing was already gone when I arrived."

"I compared the battle traces in the laboratory; there were many people fighting, which doesn't match the number of corpses inside at all, so I guess the people who came not only took away the 【Wasteland Walker】 but also took away some scholars from the Existence Tracing Department."

"The Scholarly Chair Council might be using this method to turn the tide, but unfortunately, I don't know much about 【Truth】 experiments and don't know what they are specifically doing."

"Fate Weaver, do you have any suggestions?"

Cheng Shi first frowned, then smiled and walked toward the interior of the laboratory, saying as he walked:

"Of course I do, but I have to ask the people on the scene."
