Chapter 1136: Executioner and Executioner Candidate

Executioner and Executioner Candidate

But Qin Xin didn't; his judgment was surprisingly accurate.

In order not to expose the Fire-Passer, Chen Shu actually went silent.

It's hard to imagine that such a reckless and unlucky character would actually shut his mouth for a threat that didn't seem like a threat, just because the Fire-Passer was mentioned in this threat.

The look Cheng Shi gave Chen Shu held a trace of surprise; it seemed this believer of 【Silence】 wasn't entirely unreliable.

The two continued to explore the town in silence. Cheng Shi didn't say what he was going to do, and Chen Shu didn't ask, following behind Cheng Shi's butt, not knowing what he was thinking.

During this period, they also encountered patrol officers searching the whole city, and only then did they know that the six escaped prisoners had already been put on Redicor's wanted list.

Fortunately, they had already changed their attire, and the only thing related to the wanted list was Chen Shu's bald head.

However, Chen Shu was well-versed in the principle of being darkest under the lamp. When he saw someone holding a portrait and searching everywhere, not only did he not hide, but he walked up swaggeringly and thoughtfully pointed out a path for the guards of the foolish, pointing in the direction where Mo Shu and Zhao Xishi disappeared.

The guards of the foolish didn't suspect that this bald head was a wanted criminal. After all, the wisdom of 【Dementia】 told them that the foolish who escaped from prison would never dare to get so close to them.

Watching the so-called guards of the foolish perform a foolish act before his eyes, Cheng Shi was quite speechless. He took Chen Shu around a few more times, and after not collecting any fresh news in other areas, he decided to turn back to investigate the dead executioner, Keshna.

There were many "Eyes of Mockery" in the small town, but there was no news of the real Eye of Mockery. In order to collect as many clues as possible, he had to turn his attention back to the puzzle of the trial, hoping to find the mask eye that sounded like a creation of 【Dementia】 in the puzzle of 【Dementia】.

And just as they passed the town center again, someone was actually executing criminals under the huge statue of the Fool Hunter!

The two looked at each other and immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity to observe the punishments in this place, so they squeezed into the crowd. When they squeezed to the front row, they found that Ji Yue was already standing in the front row, smiling and watching the ceremony.

Cheng Shi was stunned and wanted to avoid the other party, but Chen Shu squeezed over happily and asked without being an outsider: "It wasn't caused by you, was it?"

Ji Yue frowned slightly when she saw Chen Shu coming. When her gaze crossed Chen Shu and saw that Cheng Shi was also there, her gaze flickered for a moment, and she nodded:

"Not bad. I think there is a secret hidden in this statue, which is very likely related to... the trial, so I used some means to make them commit the crime of knowing folly."

"You have guts. Even if you are wanted, you dare to come and watch the ceremony so openly. Aren't you afraid of being caught back by the guards around here?"

Chen Shu looked at this female teammate with a strange expression and said: "You aren't afraid, so what am I afraid of?"

Ji Yue glanced at Chen Shu's bald head and smiled:

"First, I don't have such conspicuous features as you; second, I am not on the wanted list."

Chen Shu was stunned: "Why?"

Ji Yue smiled: "Because I reported everyone and provided everyone's portraits. I drew myself as another lady, so naturally, I won't be wanted."

"???"

Chen Shu was stupid. He looked back at Cheng Shi, and the expression of staring was clearly saying: Can it still be like this?

Then he turned back and asked: "Why do you want to do this?"

"I always feel that our identities are related to this trial, but I can't find any clues, so I just let the clues find me.

Whoever is most interested in our identities is naturally my clue."

"......"

Chen Shu touched his head and wanted to say something, but when he saw those eyes that were wantonly sizing him up, he shut his mouth, walked quickly to Cheng Shi's side, and whispered:

"This woman is not simple. Every time I see her, I feel there is a problem somewhere. Do you know her?"

Cheng Shi avoided the gaze cast by Ji Yue and nodded:

"Ji Yue, a Scholar of Erudition.

The way 【Truth】 explores the world is through experiments, so I wouldn't be surprised who she uses for experiments, including herself.

Just be careful, don't become her experimental material."

As they were talking, the execution had already begun.

Because the previous executioner died unexpectedly, the small town hadn't had time to publicly elect the next executioner, so the people punishing the criminals under the statue were several guards of the foolish.

And the one guiding them in the execution was Kandelter, who failed in the public election of the previous executioner and was only elected as a deputy, and was also the candidate with the highest voice in the next executioner public election.

But at this moment, there was no smile on Kandelter's face. He kept looking up at the statue, as if praying, and kept whispering something to the guards maintaining order, his face full of anxiety.

His abnormality was soon noticed by the players in the crowd. For a time, Cheng Shi and Ji Yue were both thinking whether this so-called candidate would be related to Keshna's death, and whether he would be a clue to what they were looking for.

The scene of the execution was mediocre. The players already had an understanding of what punishments there were when they woke up at the beginning of the trial. After the punishment ended, the guards dispersed the onlookers and returned to Kandelter's side to listen to orders.

This candidate executioner arranged for several guards. Because they were too far away, Cheng Shi could only look at Chen Shu.

As everyone knows, controlling sound is the specialty of believers of 【Silence】. They don't just extinguish sound, so the next second, the two lying on the roof heard the conversation between Kandelter and the guards of the foolish from far away.

"Are you sure only one person fell off the cliff?"

"Reporting to the lord, it has not been confirmed yet. The prisoners in other cells only heard a loud noise, and it cannot be ruled out that two people fell to the ground at the same time, but if there were a few more, it would definitely not be just one sound.

My subordinates have sent people down the mountain to investigate, and I believe there will be results within two days."

"Bring the body back. Keshna's death is strange. I don't believe these few people can kill him."

"Yes!"

"Also, control the outsiders in the city together. Before finding the cause of Keshna's death, don't let go of any suspicious targets."

"Yes!

But lord, his death is not bad for you, you..."

Kandelter's gaze tightened, and he said:

"No next time, don't let me execute you myself for the crime of knowing folly.

Keshna was a devout believer of my Lord and an excellent executioner. His departure is Redicor's loss and the loss of the Foolishness Institute.

Although I was his opponent, I don't want to win by such an accident. Investigate with all your strength, don't let go of any trace."

"Yes!"

Kandelter sounded like an impartial law enforcer, but when his voice fell, Cheng Shi and Chen Shu looked at each other, and their expressions became strange.

The other party lied.

This Kandelter really had a problem!

Cheng Shi pondered for a moment and decided to follow the other party to see if he could dig out anything further. But just as he was about to take Chen Shu away, Ji Yue, who had disappeared with the crowd, appeared in front of them again. She stood under the residential house, looked up at the two on the roof, and smiled meaningfully:

"Weaver of Fate, I have some things I want to discuss with you. I have to trouble this unlucky... ascetic of kung fu to avoid it first, is that okay?"

"You said unlucky, right?" Chen Shu poked his head out from the roof, his shiny bald head like a street lamp hanging from the eaves, "Don't think I can't hear it, the ears of us believers of 【Silence】 are very sharp."

"......"

Ji Yue's smile stiffened, she looked at Chen Shu strangely, and said "frankly": "Then please let the unlucky one leave for a while, how about it?"

"?"

Chen Shu was stunned, not angry but happy.

"You seem to be deliberately provoking me. Do you want to have a fight with me?"

A trace of excitement flashed in Ji Yue's eyes, but then the hand behind her back clenched into a fist, and she shook her head, "No."

It's a pity that this sentence was a lie, and both Cheng Shi and Chen Shu heard it.

This made both of them stunned.

No, since when were believers of 【Truth】 so reckless?

Cheng Shi thought to himself, although this was consistent with his memory of Ji Yue's fiery temper, do you know who you are facing?

The second unluckiest person only ranked below Zhen Yi, the chosen one of 【Silence】, an ascetic whose words were so dense they could crush people to death!

You don't think he lived until now just because others didn't want to provoke bad luck, do you?

Wrong, it's because he can also fight, sister. What are you thinking?

If it weren't for a previous contact, Cheng Shi wouldn't have paid attention to Ji Yue now.

But he looked at Ji Yue's serious expression and felt that what the other party said might be very important. Listening wouldn't lose a piece of meat, so he just treated it as getting free intelligence.

So after Cheng Shi pondered for a moment, he agreed and sent Chen Shu away.

Chen Shu looked at Cheng Shi with disbelief, and said aggrievedly: "Men are indeed unreliable. You saw a new woman and dumped me?"

"......"

Cheng Shi's face turned black, and he silently raised his hand. Thunder was ready to go. When Chen Shu saw it, he didn't say a word and ran two miles away.

Ji Yue shook her head and smiled at Cheng Shi. After confirming that there was no one around, she asked a question that made Cheng Shi's scalp numb.

"Weaver of Fate, do you know what passing the fire is?"
