Chapter 1142: Stealing a chicken but losing the rice
Stealing a chicken but losing the rice
Ji Yue came for the Fire-Passers' god-making plan.
Although Sun Miao had given a direction, how to compete for the god seat of 【Decay】 according to this direction was still an unknown path.
In order to make the Fire-Passers' god-making plan smoother, Ji Yue prayed for a trial to find inspiration for "god-making," and then she saw the Weaver of Fate who was famous in the 0221 experimental field in this trial.
Ji Yue's good impression of Cheng Shi didn't just come from this. In the past, when discussing the situation with the Fire-Passers, this Weaver of Fate was often mentioned. The people in the Fire-Passers who had dealt with the Weaver of Fate had a pretty good evaluation of him, at most a cunning lone wolf, and no more bad reviews.
Plus An Mingyu, who had retired from the position of Salary Seeker, also affirmed Cheng Shi's ability, so Ji Yue slowly became curious about this person.
She considered herself to have the ability to know people, so after seeing Cheng Shi in person, she felt that this was a player worth inviting.
It's a pity that the Weaver of Fate didn't want to pass the fire, and she had no choice.
Cheng Shi left, and she investigated around the statue for a long time, but didn't find any guidance on becoming a god. Then she turned her gaze to Kandelter, who was eagerly searching for escaped prisoners.
At this time, Kandelter's house had been burned by Cheng Shi. Ji Yue arrived at the scene and only saw the traces of being blown up under the bedroom floor, and the things inside had long disappeared.
She realized that Kandelter might also be a clue, but when she looked for him again, she couldn't find the figure of this executioner candidate, so she came to the Foolishness Institute to try her luck.
But before she could flip into the Foolishness Institute, she was stopped by someone.
The appearance of this person was beyond her expectation. She raised an eyebrow and smiled: "How should I address you?"
"Zhao Xishi."
Zhao Xishi smiled, sized up Ji Yue, and said meaningfully:
"I guess you have probably seen the relationship between us and them. Not bad, I am helping the Cleaner hunt down the Weaver of Fate.
The believers of 【Annihilation】 are all hunting him down, and a player who has angered a god will definitely not live long.
I noticed that you went to contact him, but you were... rejected by him?"
Ji Yue's heart tightened, but she didn't change her expression on the surface, smiled casually, and dealt with it.
Zhao Xishi pointed to the Foolishness Institute behind her and continued:
"The Weaver of Fate is inside right now.
What I want to say is, instead of cooperating with a dead man who doesn't have long to live, it's better to cooperate with us.
Scholar, whatever you want, we can satisfy you.
Victory in the trial, life-saving props, guidance for the road ahead... even some secrets of the gods that ordinary people cannot touch, as long as you are willing to cooperate with us, all of these can be given to you.
I know you have concerns, after all, that is a Weaver of Fate who solved 0221 and Zain Gil.
But please rest assured, you don't need to take any risks. You only need to set up some formations on the periphery to block their escape. Scholars know this best, don't they? And then, you will get the greatest kindness from me and the Cleaner.
I think this is a very cost-effective deal, especially on the premise that the Weaver of Fate rejected your cooperation.
Give this guy who doesn't know what's good for him a little color, let him know that scholars also have tempers.
How about it?"
Zhao Xishi's tone was very firm. She seemed unable to imagine a reason for a scholar to refuse her.
And hearing this, Ji Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that they mistakenly thought she approached Cheng Shi for cooperation in the trial.
It's good that she wasn't exposed.
However, even if Cheng Shi didn't agree to join the Fire-Passers, the Fire-Passers would never turn against a "candidate" who rejected them.
Not only that, the Fire-Passers would also protect these kind-hearted people, because in the eyes of the Fire-Passers, they all could be future fire seeds.
It's just that the way of protection is different. The City Defender, as a conservative, would probably deal with them perfunctorily and take the opportunity to notify.
And the City Builder...
Only seeing Ji Yue flick her hair, she pulled a long spear from the void behind her, aimed the tip of the gun at Zhao Xishi's nose, and laughed loudly:
"I thought a friend came, but didn't expect it to be a rat in the gutter.
Want to borrow my hand to kill?
You, also, deserve it?"
As the word "deserve" landed, Ji Yue spat together, the void behind her tore open, and countless long spears and short swords wrapped in the momentum of 【War】 rushed towards Zhao Xishi.
"!!!"
Zhao Xishi never thought that she would face a battle after the contact failed, and never thought that this scholar who was full of 【Truth】 flavor was actually a Purgatory Bishop who combined 【War】!
When the blood river in the void battlefield flowed into reality, the historian's pupils shrank, retreated quickly, and said with a gloomy face:
"What kind of madness are you having!"
She naturally felt that the other party was having madness. All the offensives in front of her were killing moves, obviously wanting her life, but they had no hatred and no grudges. At most, cooperation was hopeless. Is it worth fighting for life without a word?
Plus the movement of the other party's action was too big, the Weaver of Fate in the Foolishness Institute must have perceived it. It was hard to follow here, but "was" made a move to startle the snake, how could Zhao Xishi not be angry?
She threw out a few props in pain, resisted a blow from the other party, and flashed away, her face gloomy enough to drip water.
Zhao Xishi suddenly felt that she had been tricked. She roared at Ji Yue:
"Are you in the same group as the Weaver of Fate?
Are you fishing!?"
Ji Yue was stunned, and then laughed meaningfully: "Shouldn't the foolish act in this trial refer to you, Zhao what's-her-name?"
"Good! Good! Good!"
Zhao Xishi was crazy. Her face turned cold in a second, she sneered, and immediately tore up a page. The light of 【Truth】 surged out from that page. Ji Yue recognized in a second that the other party had already set up many formations here, and seeking cooperation with herself was just to be more secure.
They were quite attentive to Cheng Shi.
But Ji Yue was not in the same group as Cheng Shi after all. Reminding the other party with such a big movement could be considered worthy of her name of passing the fire.
She couldn't waste time here, and would not fight to the death with this Zhao what's-her-name, so she had to keep a useful body to continue looking for firewood for the Fire-Passers, so when Zhao Xishi urged the formation here, Ji Yue suddenly stopped, and jumped into the void together with the endless weapons at the scene, disappearing without a trace.
"!!!!!"
No one could surpass a scholar of the void quality and energy system in the attainment of the void, even a former scholar.
So Zhao Xishi could only watch Ji Yue leave.
Now the target was also startled, and the formation was wasted. Half a day's layout became a joke. She stood on the roof, looking at the direction Ji Yue disappeared, her silver teeth clenched, wishing to smash this scholar into ten thousand pieces.
Mo Shu sensed the fluctuation of the formation and appeared beside Zhao Xishi instantly, his brows sinking:
"Why not notify me to launch an offensive in advance?"
Before Zhao Xishi, whose face was blue, could respond, a bald head poked out of the Foolishness Institute.
Chen Shu looked at the two from afar, not fearing that the world would not be chaotic, touched his head, and happily said:
"Yo, setting off fireworks?
Celebrating what, did you two achieve a positive result?"
"......"
"......"
At this moment, Zhao Xishi completely broke her defense.
"Kill him! Kill them!!!"
She chanted with a cold face to add buffs to the Cleaner. Mo Shu, who was strengthened, saw Cheng Shi's figure also appearing below, and immediately flashed in front of the two, with the momentum of one enemy and three, brave and invincible.
But the moment he rushed to the front line, his shadow seemed to leave him, transformed into a black shadow, replaced his original position, and stood beside Zhao Xishi.
Zhao Xishi, who was in a rage, hadn't reacted yet, and a pair of pitch-black big hands pinched her neck.
Shadow Cheng Shi locked her from behind, and sneered mercilessly in her ear:
"I heard Ji Yue's words, you really don't deserve it."
As the voice fell, the sound of bones breaking rose.
The historian fell into history. ===== CHAPTER 1143 =====
