Chapter 107: Truthfully

~7 min read 1,227 words

Truthfully

The night in Yuanmu Town is very quiet, even frighteningly quiet.

Except for a small amount of candlelight in the residents' houses, the outdoors is pitch black.

It was just that a bunch of prisoners were released, which made this cold night a little more lively.

Watching them cheer and run wildly toward the town center, Cheng Shi covered his figure and walked in another direction.

Eternal Church.

This is a building built with huge stone bricks. The style is completely different from the underground faith buildings. The snow-white outer wall is painted with one sun after another, clearly indicating who their benefactor is.

Cheng Shi stood outside the church and observed for a long time, until he confirmed that there was no one inside, before climbing in through the window.

And just at this moment, the two on the roof finally reacted.

"Follow down or?"

Qin Chaoge was eager to try, but Li Bola didn't act immediately. She looked at Qin Chaoge meaningfully and said:

"You can hear where I am from so far away, now on the roof, don't you hear Cheng Shi inside?"

Qin Chaoge's body stagnated, and she stiffly withdrew her feet.

But then she asked for a price generously:

"The things I heard, why should I share them with you?"

Li Bola smiled, secretly saying sure enough.

"I have a bigger secret, exchange with you."

Qin Chaoge's sight glanced over the bulge on the Hunter's chest, and raised her eyebrows with interest:

"It's a deal."

Qin Chaoge lied.

And lied twice.

In the room where the teammate died at the beginning, she lied.

The dead sightseeing assistant was not killed by her.

After that, before the investigation started outside the hotel, she lied again.

Her own sightseeing assistant didn't die either.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been imprisoned for teasing.

Looking at it this way, this Singer of 【War】 seems to lean toward order.

But this is also the reason for Cheng Shi's doubt.

An orderly Singer, why would she claim a notoriety that shouldn't be hers?

Is she also looking for the murderer?

Maybe, but in any case, Cheng Shi will soon know the answer.

The corpses are placed in the hall inside the Eternal Church, not just one.

A rough glance, there are probably more than a dozen corpses here, big and small.

It seems that there is nothing strange, but if you check the cause of death of each person carefully, you will find that almost everyone is stabbed in the heart.

That is to say, according to Yuanmu Town's statement, these people should all be blasphemers.

Interesting.

After blasphemers die, they need to be purified by the High Priest in the local church before they can be buried.

This 【Eternal Sun】 is too kind to those who blaspheme Him.

Cheng Shi searched among the corpses for a while, and found the corpse of the 【Silence】 teammate not long after, and then stood beside the corpse for a long time, holding his breath.

Until Qin Chaoge on the roof frowned, even feeling that Cheng Shi below had slipped away silently, he slowly reached out, took off the brooch on his chest, and used 【Memory of the Deceased】 on the corpse.

A pale green light with dark blue flowed slowly from the brooch, and with the movement of Cheng Shi's arm, it sprinkled evenly on the corpse.

After this soft light wrapped the whole corpse, the 【Silence】 believer suddenly twitched all over, and opened his eyes suddenly.

His eyes were swirling with green ghost flames, his mouth was slightly open, and the tip of his tongue was lingering with blue light flow.

Cheng Shi saw this magical dead chatting technique for the first time. He was quite curious and pulled out the corpse's tongue, finding that the feel didn't get better, it was still a dead person's feel.

The usage instructions for 【Memory of the Deceased】 are very clear. The awakened corpse will answer the first question truthfully.

Cheng Shi had no doubt about such a clear description, and he had already prepared the draft in his heart, so he asked directly:

"State all your impressions of the murderer who killed you."

After asking, he held his breath and prepared to memorize the corpse's answer.

However...

The corpse was silent.

"?"

Cheng Shi was a bit dumbfounded.

He saw the blue light on the tip of the corpse's tongue jumping and flickering, seemingly no problem, but the corpse had no reaction at all.

"???"

Brother, you wouldn't have given me a semi-finished product, would you?

Cheng Shi looked at the finger bone brooch in his hand in shock, his heart was gray.

It's over, I've become a clown.

A series of operations bypassed everyone, and as a result, the brooch had a problem.

No, is this how you understand the authority of 【Memory】?

Is it a bit too fake?

But then Cheng Shi became suspicious again.

【Death】 doesn't seem to be a god who likes to joke, and His creations shouldn't be so unreliable, at least the Bone Servant Lele'er Ring is very easy to use.

So, is it possible that there is a problem with my operation method?

Cheng Shi began to doubt himself. He repeated all the actions just now in his heart and found that there was no problem at all.

The corpse's eyes opened, indicating that the effect was correct, so why didn't it speak?

Ask one more question to try.

"You didn't commit suicide, right?"

"..."

"What's your name?"

"..."

"hello?"

"..."

At this point, Cheng Shi was completely silent. He frowned and looked at the brooch in his hand, thought about it, and decided to do another experiment.

So he walked to the bearded male corpse closest to him and released 【Memory of the Deceased】 again.

The corpse immediately changed, just like what he saw just now, and opened his eyes.

Cheng Shi saw that it took effect, and immediately asked:

"How did you die?"

As soon as the words fell, only to see the corpse's mouth slowly open, and a hoarse voice like air leaking from the underworld came out of his mouth.

"Someone... broke into... my room... stabbed me from behind... damn... so painful..."

???

Isn't this no problem?

Cheng Shi was stunned.

He asked again:

"What's your name?"

"Damn... peed on my shoes again... these shoes don't work..."

"..."

Cheng Shi was stunned again.

He looked at the stranger's corpse speechlessly, then at the brooch, looked at the brooch, then at the teammate's corpse, pondered for a long time, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his brain.

He understood!

"Ah?

So this is what you mean by truthfully?

People with foul mouths still have to carry their verbal tics after death, and 【Silence】 believers still practice silence after death?

My brother, your understanding...

Is it a bit too great?"

Cheng Shi looked at the brooch in his hand with a dark face, not knowing whether to scold or praise for a while.

Because when the second corpse opened its eyes, the teammate's corpse had already lost its effect.

Now it's good, the murderer wasn't found, and I still owe two offerings.

A series of mentally retarded operations made Cheng Shi want to slap himself twice.

"Can't be angry, must keep smiling.

No, can't help it.

Wow—

I'm too hard!!"
