Dungeon Sightseeing

There were at least dozens of service windows in the office lobby. Cheng Shi and Qin Chaoge didn't wait long before they got their number.

He looked at the beautiful and moving staff member in front of the window and expressed his appeal euphemistically: he wanted to change a sightseeing assistant.

The staff member flipped through the reception records and suddenly realized.

Her eyes were full of "understanding," and she smiled and asked Cheng Shi to wait a while longer.

Cheng Shi looked at her meaningful smile and always felt that things were going to develop in a strange direction again.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, a charming handsome man was guided by the staff member and walked toward him excitedly.

The first time they met, he ran to Cheng Shi's side with small steps, attempting to hold Cheng Shi's arm.

Cheng Shi was so scared that his face turned white. He couldn't help it...

"Bang!"

"Plop—"

"..."

Cheng Shi was arrested.

Right in the lobby of the office.

The charge was intentional injury to a sightseeing assistant.

The garrison soldiers arrested him immediately and sentenced him on the spot: the request to change the assistant was rejected, and he was imprisoned for three days.

Cheng Shi didn't resist either. He lowered his head and thought about something, letting the two soldiers twist his hands behind his back and escort him to the detention room located in the basement of the office.

You don't know until you come, and you're scared when you come.

In the huge detention room, there were countless travelers locked up, and it was as lively as a vegetable market.

Cheng Shi looked at everything in front of him speechlessly and asked the soldier who escorted him:

"Why... so many people?"

The soldier seemed to be used to all this. He sneered and mocked:

"The High Priest treats you travelers too well. Harming residents should have been sentenced to death for blasphemy. Locking you up for a few days is really cheap for you scum!"

After speaking, the two soldiers spat heavily and threw Cheng Shi into a cell.

The travelers locked up around didn't care about this new cellmate at all, chatting when they should chat, sleeping when they should sleep, and the scene was peaceful.

Cheng Shi listened to the noisy sounds around him and felt that he had come to a good place by mistake.

Everyone here is a talent, and they speak well. The words leaking from their mouths are all rare good intelligence.

So he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but his ears were held high, receiving all the news he could hear.

"Where's the food? Why isn't it delivered yet!! I'm hungry! Give me food! Otherwise, don't think about letting me grant you children!"

"Newcomer, stop shouting. There is only one meal every night. If you want to be full, wait until you are released."

A senior cellmate leaned against the wall and waved to persuade him.

"Doesn't that mean we'll starve to death? Damn it, these stubborn commoners! Brother, how long have you been in here, and what did you do?"

"Me? Sentenced for a month, the charge is malicious granting."

"Take my advice, don't use this damn granting ceremony indiscriminately, otherwise you will be like me, starving here for a month."

"What do you mean? Don't they want us to grant, how can there be malicious granting."

"You know you haven't given them children as soon as you hear this."

"The law of Yuanmu Town is: in the absence of special decrees, every traveler has and only has one granting right, and the granting object can only be a sightseeing assistant."

"There was a familiar... cough cough, a big sister who was very familiar with me begged me for a few days. My damn sympathy, my heart softened, and I gave it."

"As a result, you saw it too, sigh..."

"You newcomers who committed crimes as soon as you arrived are still okay, because you haven't granted them children yet, so you still have a chance to enjoy yourself after being released."

"Like us who have already granted, there is basically no play, and we will only be repatriated after being released."

"The tour guide didn't say it wrong, this is a wonderful journey, I will probably remember it for a lifetime."

"Brother, tell me in detail, tell me about this granting ceremony?"

Many newcomers were booing, and this cellmate was also generous, sharing his findings selflessly.

"The granting ceremony is actually meaningless. After you and your sightseeing assistant warm up, she will tell you all the contents of this ceremony."

"Just two people holding hands and reciting a tongue-twisting prayer, and you can grant them a child under the gaze of their god."

"The interesting part is behind. To express gratitude, these beauties..."

"Tsk tsk..."

Cheng Shi didn't continue to listen, his brows frowned tightly.

This ceremony, why does it sound so much like Hu Xuan's set of things?

If the two ceremonies are the same thing, does it mean that 【Eternal Sun】 is not just related to 【Birth】, is it possible that He is 【Birth】?

A 【True God】, hanging in... the sky of Yuanmu Town?

Hell joke.

Unable to figure it out, Cheng Shi turned his attention back to the exchange of cellmates. Because someone took the lead, other cellmates also began to share their happy times.

Cheng Shi saw that the senior cellmate stopped talking, so he leaned over and shouted across the railing.

"Brother, you have rich experience, where are you from?"

The man laughed and replied: "Gasimaila."

"Oh, Tower of Reason, looking at your knowledge, are you a traveling scholar?"

"No, no, no, how could I be a scholar, I am just a... eh, I am... what was I doing?"

"Sigh, I haven't eaten or drunk well recently, I can't remember things."

Can't remember things?

That's not right, the details just now were told without omission, how can he not remember when talking about his profession?

Cheng Shi frowned, seeing him scratching his head irritably, didn't continue to ask, but turned to look at the new tourist next door who was the same as himself, and greeted him:

"Brother, your elegant golden hair is very similar to a lawyer I knew before, very temperamental, you wouldn't be a lawyer too, would you?"

"Just kidding, brother, if I were a lawyer, my whole family would wake up laughing. I am... eh? I remember I seem to be... what was it?"

Cheng Shi's eyes narrowed, and he interrupted the conversation with a smile.

And just at this moment, there was a "clatter" in the cell next door on the other side, and another person was locked in.

Cheng Shi heard the sound and looked up, only to see the new cellmate, who else could it be but Qin Chaoge.

The 【War】 believer smiled, and the first sentence she said was:

"Such a fun thing, you eat alone and don't call me?"

"?"

Cheng Shi shook his head and laughed. How can it be fun to be locked up with a group of dirty prisoners?

He looked at Qin Chaoge, who was looking around, and teased: "Murder discovered?"

"How is that possible, I did it very secretly, he committed suicide."

Cheng Shi smiled helplessly:

"Then how did you get in?"

"Teasing the staff and attempting to have a monkey with her, well, I got in, the charge is malicious harassment, sentenced for five days."

"Puff—"

Cheng Shi was almost choked by his own saliva.

You are not wronged for this.

"What have you found after being here for so long?"

Qin Chaoge didn't care about the so-called imprisonment at all. She only felt that Cheng Shi must have seen something when he came down, so she came to inquire about the news.

Actually, it was an accident that Cheng Shi came down, but it did make him find some clues.

Not to mention that these travelers don't seem to remember what they did before, just looking at their appearance and temperament, they don't look like successful people in the Continent of Hope,

a smell of social scum.

If he remembered correctly, every traveler who came to the town should have come through the hands of the tour guide he had never met, and paid a large sum of money.

Would these people in front of him really have money to come here for leisure?

Or rather, why would this group of homeless-like travelers, even if they had money, not use it to improve their lives, but come here?

Just to have a child?

Yuanmu Town will not allow them to take these children away. This is their population, the foundation of their faith continuation.

So, where did the problem go?

Cheng Shi didn't answer Qin Chaoge's question, but asked back:

"Have you heard of that granting ceremony?"

Qin Chaoge's expectant eyes instantly solidified, the veins on her forehead jumped slightly, seemingly confirming whether Cheng Shi was deliberately provoking her.

"Don't do it, I'll tell you, otherwise your sentence will have to be increased. I'm telling you seriously, have you heard of that granting ceremony?"

"Heard of it."

It wasn't the gloomy Qin Chaoge who answered him, but someone else.

Listening to the voice coming from the side, the two turned their heads in surprise, only to find that the Hunter sister had also arrived in the dungeon at some point, and was looking at them with a smile at the corner of her mouth.

After Qin Chaoge saw her, she immediately returned to her previous playful appearance.

"Yo, what a coincidence, you also got caught looking for a duck?"
