Chapter 1140: So you are Cheng Jie

~8 min read 1,508 words

So you are Cheng Jie

The flames instantly engulfed the entire house.

If it weren't for Cheng Shi running fast, he might have really passed the fire today, and with his body.

When the two flashed out of the ruins with vigorous flames, Cheng Shi looked at Chen Shu with a dark face, wishing he could punch the other party into the soil.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"How dare you pour gasoline on yourself!!??"

That's right, Chen Shu's bucket of gasoline wasn't poured on the furniture in the study, but on himself and Cheng Shi.

At this time, Chen Shu was still holding an empty bucket in his hand. He touched his head and looked at Cheng Shi, not feeling that there was any problem with himself.

"Didn't you say you wanted to pass the fire? If the fire doesn't burn on yourself, how can you pass it?"

"I......"

Cheng Shi was already numb. He felt that human understanding of Chen Shu was still too little.

However, Chen Shu's words did have a problem, not a problem of being talkative, but a problem of will.

If you have to wait until the fire burns on your eyebrows to take action, that's not called passing the fire, but survival.

Although the current situation of the Fire-Passers is bad, they are not the kind of people who only act after the fire burns their eyebrows. Their will is far more noble and clearer than those who fight to survive.

Of course, Cheng Shi setting this fire wasn't for anything to approach the Fire-Passers. That was just a statement to dismiss Chen Shu. What he really wanted to do was investigate clues.

Since the clues in Kandelter's place have changed, and Cheng Shi also suspects that this person has a problem, then he might as well use a fire to guide his way forward.

If Kandelter really has a ghost in his heart, then under the reflection of this fire, the ghost shadow will surely appear.

Sure enough, after receiving the news that his house was on fire, Kandelter put aside all affairs and rushed back quickly, leading the guards of the foolish to start extinguishing the fire, and before the last few flames were extinguished, he stepped into the ruins with a blue face and examined it everywhere.

He went straight to the study, but only glanced at the ashes on the desk and left. Then he went to the bedroom, went in and out of the broken walls of the bedroom several times, and after confirming something, his brows stretched, and he left the scene without saying a word.

All of this was seen by the two players hiding on the side. Chen Shu pointed to the direction of the bedroom and whispered:

"So you wanted Kandelter to find clues for you personally?

Brother-in-law, your brain is indeed smart."

Cheng Shi looked at the direction of the bedroom with a flash of light in his eyes, knowing that this fire was set right, but he said with disdain: "Don't call me Brother-in-law."

"Did you two have a fight?"

"......"

"But if I don't call you Brother-in-law, I always feel something is missing, as if we are not close."

"We were never close!"

"Brother-in-law, you say that, I am so sad, I... fine fine fine, can't I not call you Brother-in-law, then I have to call you something. Weaver of Fate is indeed too unfamiliar, and calling you by name is a bit lacking...

Eh, got it, why don't I call you Cheng Jie!

The solution to the world, how about it!?"

"?? ???"

Seeing Kandelter order the blockade of this place and about to leave the fire scene, Cheng Shi wanted to go up and find out, but Chen Shu's "Cheng Jie" directly hard-controlled Cheng Shi in place.

His eyelids jumped, and he endured for a long time before telling himself that it was not worth getting angry with a fool.

But the title Cheng Jie was also too ugly. If this spread, wouldn't he be nailed to the "pillar of shame"!?

So Cheng Shi exhaled heavily, his face black: "You'd better call me Brother-in-law."

"Did you two make up again?

You didn't call my sister behind my back while chatting with me just now, did you?"

"......"

Who exactly ranked Chen Shu second!?

I protest!

Rank him first!

"Bang!"

Can't bear it anymore, no need to bear it anymore.

Although Cheng Shi's main body is not the Warrior of the Day, he also has some strength. He punched Chen Shu into the soil, and then avoided the vision of the surrounding guards and flipped into the ruins again.

He went straight to the bedroom wreckage along the route Kandelter walked, looked around for a while, found nothing, and then frowned slightly.

Although Chen Shu didn't have a door on his mouth, he also knew that if he disturbed Cheng Shi's train of thought at this time, he would definitely be scolded again, so he rarely went silent for a while.

It was this rare quiet time of a few breaths that made a flash of light in Cheng Shi's brain, thinking of a possibility.

He snapped his fingers, pointed to Chen Shu's feet, and said: "Get away."

Chen Shu looked aggrieved: "I won't question the relationship between you and my sister anymore, don't drive me away."

"......" Cheng Shi's eyelids jumped, and he lowered his roar, almost squeezing a sentence out of his throat, "Roll, you are standing on the clue."

"Ah?"

Chen Shu was stunned, then looked down, only to see countless footprints under his feet, which were left by Kandelter.

Actually, it's not strange to have so many footprints. After all, Kandelter went in and out here several times, and under the ashes, many footprints should be left.

But the strange thing is that only the footprints under Chen Shu's feet are slightly deeper, while the footprints in other parts of the bedroom are very shallow.

Chen Shu is not stupid. He understood Cheng Shi's meaning in a second, and said somewhat astonished: "Is there something under my feet?"

"Not bad, there is something hidden under this!

Kandelter kept going in and out of the bedroom, not because there was anything important in the bedroom, but to confirm whether the things under this piece of ground had any problems!

He should have confirmed that the things here had no accidents by stepping on them, but under the eyes of everyone, he couldn't perform more operations, so you hurry up and get away.

Now is the only time we can know what he hid under this."

Chen Shu also became excited. Nothing could make a believer of 【Silence】 more excited than finding a person's "secret."

He immediately took a step back and stomped on the edge of this place. The huge force caused the surrounding ground to collapse, but the central area rose miraculously.

This method of controlling force was miraculous, and even Cheng Shi couldn't help but call it good in his heart.

What's more amazing is that the person in front of him is also a believer of 【Silence】, which means that no matter how loud the movement here is, the guards on duty outside will be like deaf people and won't hear anything inside at all.

So under the gaze of the two, the land in front of them exploded, bringing up a... from the ground.

Corpse!!?

This corpse was slightly melted and charred under the high-temperature roasting, but it looked quite fresh, and the time of death was at most yesterday.

And this corpse was completely naked, and the clothes were obviously stripped off by someone, but just by that twisted and deformed face, the two still recognized the person's identity at the first time.

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank, sneered, clapped his hands and said:

"What a role-playing game!

I just want to know, since the one in front of us is Kandelter, then who will the Kandelter who came just now... be?"

Chen Shu touched his head and thought thoughtfully:

"Strange, I didn't see any traces of acting on that Kandelter. If he is really fake, then it can only be you believers of 【Fraud】.

But believers of 【Fraud】 appearing here seems a bit illogical.

However, this confirms one thing: this person killed Kandelter and played him, definitely trying to approach the secret in the statue!"

Chen Shu was rarely serious once, which made Cheng Shi look at him with admiration.

He nodded and said:

"Your deduction should be correct, but whether this person is a believer of 【Fraud】 remains to be verified. After all, in this era, there are many more believers of a certain god than believers of the Fun God."

"【Chaos】?"

"Not bad, it is 【Chaos】!

I also want to know who is the one fishing in troubled waters in this chaotic situation.

Since that's the case, why don't we ask Kandelter himself."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi took out his finger bone brooch. ===== CHAPTER 1141 =====
