Chapter 1037: It was actually them!?

~9 min read 1,683 words

It was actually them!?

The fourth time.

Cheng Shi appeared in the west of the city again and called out Chen Yi, using an almost identical straight hook to fish Chen Yi away to help him create some noise.

Although Chen Yi took the bait again, this assassin looked at Cheng Shi's disappearing back and always felt that this scene was familiar.

Afterwards, Cheng Shi took advantage of the huge noise made by the magic array being attacked to sneak into the experimental field, heading straight for his target.

His target was no longer Galiusha, but those two scholars in the reserve echelon whose faces he hadn't seen clearly!

But there were people guarding the small door under the departure platform, and Cheng Shi wasn't even sure if the only security scholar guarding here was a person from the Scholarly Chair Society or Galiusha's person, so he could only take it by wit.

He saw him moving around in the large experimental field, continuously changing identities in different corners, until he stole a security scholar's outer garment, then he pulled up his hood to cover his face and arrived near the small door.

At the first encounter, before the other could persuade him to leave, Cheng Shi took the initiative:

"Kadir, the plan has changed, the situation has had some changes, I need to go in to notify the lord."

This scholar named Kadir was stunned for a moment, then frowned, said nothing, and reached out to pull the alarm lever next to him directly.

Two choices, he chose wrong.

Cheng Shi was extremely speechless; it turned out the other wasn't Galiusha's person?

But fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately waved his hand to stop him:

"Don't be nervous, this is new review content. I am executing a secret review mission, verifying the piety of all reserve personnel before the ready state.

Scholar Kadir, you have passed, but now please let me in to accelerate the screening.

You have also heard that the enemy has discovered this place and is attacking fiercely; we must race against time."

Kadir's hand did stop, but no matter how he listened, he felt this was a cover-up after the other failed the code. But it was a coincidence that just as Cheng Shi finished speaking, Warren's order to enter the ready state came from the experimental platform. Now he had to believe it even if he didn't want to.

However, along with the ready order came another of Warren's orders: he asked Kadir to open the small door and release the first echelon.

Kadir was stunned for a moment and looked at Cheng Shi, meaning you haven't finished the review yet, why release people?

Cheng Shi adapted to the situation and said off the cuff:

"The situation outside is probably more severe than we expected. Since so, then execute the Great Scholar's order first.

Scholar Kadir, you have already received absolute recognition, so I need your help. Next, please help me review the first echelon, and I will go in to review the reserve echelon. How about it?"

Kadir hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then pulled open the small door, releasing all the scholars waiting inside.

Cheng Shi stood by the small door, watching with his own eyes as Galiusha lowered her head and passed by him again. He tried his best to keep a low profile, making no sound and no movement, until the first echelon had all walked onto the departure platform, only then did he resolutely turn and step into the small door.

But just as he was preparing to look for those two figures, Kadir outside the door suddenly called him and asked:

"Sibola, what if an abnormality is discovered?"

"?"

Cheng Shi was stunned; he didn't expect that he would still be tested at this time.

The Master of Deception told him that this was a lie, and the only part that could be faked was the name, so this Scholar Kadir was actually still doubting him after agreeing to his request?

Tsk, scholars are very vigilant.

However, Cheng Shi was too lazy to deal with it. He smiled without looking back: "First, I am not Sibola. Second, I have already walked in; what is the use of you testing me again?"

Saying this, he flicked a scalpel to force the other back, closed the door with his backhand, and then quickly walked toward the preparation room of the reserve echelon.

There were only two spaces behind the small door. The front was a large waiting room, and the back connected to the preparation room. When the first echelon walked onto the departure platform, the reserve echelon also received orders to move from the preparation room to the waiting room.

Cheng Shi bumped into the moving scholars. His sharp eyes searched for those two figures he had glanced at twice in the crowd of stunned people, and before long, he locked onto the last two people at the end of the team.

And it was also at this time that Kadir outside the door pulled the alarm quickly in surprise, alarming everyone in the experimental field. The scholars on the departure platform were the first to riot. A few people directly pushed aside the teammates next to them, jumped off the platform, and rushed toward the waiting room again.

Among them, Galiusha took the lead. She kicked Kadir who was blocking the way, pulled out a long whip to shatter the small door, and without saying a word, rushed in with a gloomy face.

She had never thought that the plan would have problems here. After all, under her arrangement, scholars from other departments had already released enough smoke bombs. Those idiots in the Scholarly Chair Society shouldn't have been able to find the reserve echelon whose identities were absolutely clean.

But the scene she least wanted to see happened after all. When she rushed back to the waiting room like a gust of wind, she found that the scholar with the abnormal identity was holding the necks of two reserve team members with both hands, standing at the far end and looking at her from afar, while shaking his head and humming with a smile:

"No wonder I couldn't understand why you were so interested in this experiment to save the Tower of Rationality from defeat. It turns out all the answers are here.

Good, good, good!

It turns out the assassination wasn't an assassination, but teaching; the obstruction wasn't obstruction, but enlightenment!

You used this move to cut off your own worries and also left the Great Scholars of the Scholarly Chair Society with no way out. What a wise man who calculates everything!

But I want to know, when you tampered with their memories, did you ever think that the person who once silently schemed against you behind your back would be your future self!?

Ga, liu, sha!"

Cheng Shi interrogated the other word by word, his tone full of shock. Because at this very moment, the two scholars he was holding by the neck were too familiar to him.

The man with a solemn face in his left hand was clearly the deputy captain who led the 17th squad of the Iron Law Knights in Montelani, Grinde!

And this lady in his right hand, her identity was not hard to guess; she was the female knight Melina who was once the personal bodyguard of the young Galiusha!

Who could have thought that these two scholars who once infiltrated the Grand Tribunal intending to weed out traitors for the Tower of Rationality actually started from here!

The Scholarly Chair Society you are loyal to is not the Scholarly Chair Society in its prime, but the Scholarly Chair Society at the end of its rope, right!

Why, in the last second before this Kingdom of Retainers collapsed, you still didn't forget to try to seize the authority of 【Time】?

The "you" here naturally didn't refer to Galiusha and the Scholarly Chair Society, but the high and mighty patrons behind them, 【Stupidity】 and 【Truth】.

Cheng Shi was filled with emotion and at the same time had many thoughts. He was thinking that if the truth of this experiment was like this, then should this experiment be done or not, because whether it was done or not, the will of 【Truth】 seemed destined to be cut off on this continent.

He looked at Galiusha, wanting to ask what you have to say about the fact that your so-called hatred was born from your own hands, but he didn't expect that the one responding to Cheng Shi wasn't Galiusha, but Melina, whom he was restraining in his left hand.

Melina held Cheng Shi's hand with both hands, raised her head, and struggled:

"This... is not a scheme..."

"?????"

The moment Cheng Shi heard this voice, he was stunned.

Because this wasn't the voice of Melina in his memory, but rather a voice he had heard recently, and this "recently" was within this trial, even just a few hours ago!

Pelaya!!!

Can you imagine Pelaya's voice actually coming out of Melina's mouth?

Cheng Shi was dumbfounded. He turned his head sharply to look at his right hand, but the moment he saw those eyes mixed with panic, longing, and inexplicable emotions, he was fiercely kicked away by a sudden long whip.

Immediately after, countless scholars around swarmed over, detonating themselves together, blasting the solemn-faced Cheng Shi back onto the ruins of the city of Tusnat.

The fifth time.

Cheng Shi opened his eyes again, raised his head to look at the scorching sun above, and for the first time felt that he didn't understand this world a bit.

Because he firmly believed that in Melina's—no, it should be Pelaya's—eyes, he saw something called love.

Of course, that love was definitely not for himself. As for who it was for...

Hiss—

I just said that one can learn things from neighbors. If it weren't for observing Xie Yang every day, who would know what kind of "love" that look represents. ===== CHAPTER 1038 =====
