Chapter 1141: A pair of eyes is missing from Keshna

A pair of eyes is missing from Keshna's corpse!

That lord's comprehension of the 【Memory】 authority is limited, making the finger bone only capable of one effective question and answer.

So how to ask to maximize the information he gets has become a problem Cheng Shi needs to consider every time he uses the brooch.

Fortunately, he is not here to solve a case this time, but to find clues, so he asked the question he was most interested in without hesitation:

"What secret is hidden in the Fool Hunter statue in Redicor?"

A green light flashed in the eye sockets of Kandelter's corpse driven by the finger bone, and he said hoarsely:

"Babbling... the statue shows spirit... bestowed a divine gift upon Keshna..."

After speaking, the corpse that lost power fell to the ground again, and the two players present widened their eyes one after another.

Divine gift!?

Cheng Shi's gaze tightened, thinking to himself, could it be that 【Dementia】 cast His gaze down!?

It's not impossible. Prayer through objects is the most devout way of expressing faith in the history of the Hope Continent, and the fact that this can attract the gaze of a god has also been verified, such as the Mirror Man and their mirrors...

But 【Memory】 casting a gaze doesn't mean 【Dementia】 will too. With His arrogant appearance, would He look here?

If there is really a reason for 【Dementia】 to gaze here, Cheng Shi believes it will never be the gathering of faith, but that a grand foolish act is about to happen here.

But is this foolish act the foolish act of the Redicor people, or the foolish act of the players?

What exactly did He bestow?

Chen Shu was also shocked, but what he was shocked by was not any divine gift, but the fact that a corpse could speak!

He hadn't seen such props, but none of them were obviously reusable like the one in Cheng Shi's hand, and even the necromancers who knew corpses best rarely could make corpses answer questions honestly. After all, this involves 【Memory】.

Believers of 【Memory】 can use corpses, but at that time they borrowed corpses to search for memories, not to interact with corpses.

You must know that dealing with corpses is much easier than dealing with living people, and believers of 【Silence】 like secrets the most. If this prop belonged to him, Chen Shu couldn't imagine how happy he could chat with corpses.

This is too happy!

He looked at Cheng Shi's brooch with sour eyes and said: "The price of such a precious prop must be high, right?"

Price?

Cheng Shi was stunned, suddenly thinking that he hadn't offered tribute to that lord for a long time. Sure enough, "large depositors" have all kinds of conveniences.

But looking at Chen Shu like this, Cheng Shi knew that if he didn't say something about the shortcomings of the finger bone brooch today, this brooch that could retrieve the memories of corpses would become the next topic that the other party would keep blabbering about.

So he responded casually:

"Do you know why I only ask one question? Because if I keep asking, the corpse will talk nonsense. It is much harder to use than you think."

"?"

Where is this a price? This is purely an advantage!

As long as you chat with me normally, I feel it's not exciting. What I want is nonsense.

For a time, Chen Shu became even sourer.

"......"

Seeing Chen Shu's eyes getting stranger and stranger, Cheng Shi knew it was time to leave.

He put Kandelter's corpse into the Molten Fire Coffin, and then avoided the guards and slipped out secretly.

Chen Shu followed closely, lingering behind Cheng Shi and asking in a low voice: "Can I use something to exchange this brooch with you?"

Not to mention that Cheng Shi didn't want to exchange it, even if he did, he wouldn't dare to exchange the props bestowed by the 【Death】 boss to others.

That lord's heart is not big. If he really summoned himself to the bone seat to serve left and right, who would he go to to reason?

So, Cheng Shi rolled his eyes and said: "Shut up."

Chen Shu's footsteps paused, and then he followed again, his expression struggling:

"That won't do, not speaking is a blasphemy against my Lord.

I can't use my piety to exchange for such a small thing."

"......"

Where did your piety come from?

Doesn't your Benefactor find you annoying?

Cheng Shi was already completely numb. Except for when he used Chen Shu as a tool, he would show some appreciation. At other times, as long as he heard the other party speak, his head would throb with pain.

He didn't say much on this road, until he brought Chen Shu back to the Foolishness Institute. In the afterglow of the sunset, the two stood in the shadow of the alley next to the Foolishness Institute, looking for a way to enter.

Chen Shu seemed to see Cheng Shi's thoughts and touched his head: "Do you want to find Keshna's corpse?"

Cheng Shi nodded:

"That's right, now all clues indicate that the statue is strange, and the only person who investigated the statue is the executioner Keshna. His death must also be related to that divine gift.

It's not night yet, there are too many pedestrians in the town, it's not easy to approach the statue, so I can only check the peripheral clues first, hoping that Keshna has the clues I'm looking for."

After speaking, he let Chen Shu lead the way and slipped back into the Foolishness Institute.

The Foolishness Institute was built against the cliff, occupying a vast area and could accommodate many people, but there were not many people in the institute at this time. Except for the patrol guards increased due to the prison break incident, the guards in other places were sparse, and they all went to the town to search for prison break suspects.

The two didn't look for long before they found Keshna's corpse in the morgue next to the prison.

However, when Cheng Shi opened the coffin and saw the corpse inside, he was shocked and stood there in a daze.

Chen Shu poked his head over and asked curiously:

"Eh, did someone remove his eyes?"

Not bad, both of Keshna's eyeballs were gone!

And this was the reason Cheng Shi was astonished.

If he was really here for a trip in this trial, he wouldn't necessarily think of anything from these missing eyeballs, but don't forget, he was here to find clues about the Eye of Mockery!

And coincidentally, he knew that the Eye of Mockery could be removed, because Scar Cheng Shi had personally demonstrated it to him.

So, this Keshna who was suspected of being bestowed a divine gift by the statue... could the divine gift he obtained be the eyes he lost, the Eye of Mockery he wanted to find!?

At this moment, Cheng Shi's expression became serious, and his eyes were full of solemnity.

If this is really the case, then he must figure out this maze of 【Dementia】, because the Eye of Mockery is very likely to have appeared here!

He really wanted to ask Keshna what that divine gift was, but he didn't find an excuse to avoid Chen Shu's watching, so he could only pretend to examine the corpse and carefully observe Keshna's corpse.

This look really made him see some clues.

Keshna died of a knife in the neck, the wound was to the right, and this knife pierced his throat from bottom to top, causing him to bleed to death.

To make such a burly executioner with a physique bigger than Chen Shu suffer such a tricky knife, except for torturing him to death after clamping him, there was almost no other possibility.

Although Cheng Shi hadn't seen the prisoner's body replaced by the players, it was not difficult to find from the people of Redicor that they didn't believe that those prisoners had the strength to kill the executioner.

So it is highly likely that someone fished in troubled waters and killed the executioner, and that person's purpose should be very clear, which is to take away Keshna's eyes.

The problem is who this person is, and did Keshna see this murderer before he died?

This is related to how Cheng Shi should ask this question.

And just when Cheng Shi was thinking, a figure was quietly approaching outside the other side of the wall of the Foolishness Institute. ===== CHAPTER 1142 =====
