Chapter 1145

It's Burning Up!

"You mean Qin Xin and An Mingyu recruited you together?"

Ji Yue frowned and looked at Chen Shu. Although she was still a bit suspicious, she had already accepted the other party in her heart.

After all, someone who knew Qin Xin's name and also knew the former Salary-Seeker An Mingyu couldn't be anything but a Fire-Spreader.

Chen Shu nodded vigorously: "As soon as they saw me, they were amazed and insisted on pulling me to spread the fire. I'm kind-hearted, so after some pushing and shoving, I agreed."

"......"

Do I believe that?

Ji Yue rolled her eyes and said with disdain:

"Why, you've been dominating the peak circle for so long, is this the first time they've seen you?

Otherwise, why weren't they amazed at the beginning?

Besides, apart from your forehead being a bit shiny and reflective, what part of you looks like you can spread fire?"

Ji Yue was indeed confused, but she wasn't confused about Qin Xin's judgment, but rather Qin Xin's intentions. It was also the first time she knew that Fire-Spreaders really had secret cards.

So besides Chen Shu, were there others?

For example... that Fate Weaver who was trying his best to distance himself from the Fire-Spreaders.

Could he also be some kind of secret card?

Chen Shu hadn't expected that one day he would be mocked by a colleague because of his appearance. He pointed at himself unconvinced, trying to prove it:

"I have gasoline on me, why can't I spread fire?"

"?"

Like a chicken talking to a duck, playing the lute to a cow.

Ji Yue took a deep breath and decided to save time: "If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't talk nonsense, get to the point!"

"The point is that Cheng Shi has disappeared, and we must find him!"

Ji Yue was stunned, then laughed in anger:

"You exposed your identity just to get me to help you find the Fate Weaver!?"

Chen Shu, have you ever reflected on yourself? If you had just said two fewer words, is it possible the Fate Weaver wouldn't have shaken you off?"

"I reflected on it; that's not the reason," Chen Shu said with extreme certainty.

"......"

"You..." Ji Yue wanted to leave; she didn't want to be a part of whatever inexplicable play these two were having.

But at this moment, Chen Shu became unusually serious and said:

"He is related to Envoy Envoy Yu Xi."

Ji Yue's footsteps paused, and she frowned slightly: "Who is Envoy Envoy Yu Xi?"

"Qin Xin said Envoy Envoy Yu Xi is the key to the Fire-Spreader's God-Making Project, so he specifically asked me to investigate. Now I've found out that Cheng Shi knows Envoy Envoy Yu Xi."

"!!!"

Ji Yue finally became serious. She seemed to have connected some minor clues and nodded: "So that's it. No wonder my prayer was queued to him."

As she spoke, she looked at Chen Shu and admired him: "Sorry, 【War】 ruined my temper. I shouldn't have questioned a Fire-Spreader's professionalism. Tell me, how did you find out?"

"Intuition."

"......?"

Ji Yue's face changed back in a second. She blinked in confusion and took a long time to confirm she hadn't misheard.

"You... you just guessed?"

Chen Shu shook his head as if it were a serious matter: "It's not guessing; it's intuition."

"...... Fine, it's not unacceptable. A peak player's intuition is indeed a capability," Ji Yue sighed, then thought seriously, "So what we need to do now is find Cheng Shi and learn about Envoy Envoy Yu Xi from his mouth, or even contact Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, right?"

"Correct, it would be best to pull him into the Fire-Spreaders!"

"But how do you know he isn't already a Fire-Spreader?" Ji Yue raised an eyebrow.

"?" Chen Shu was stunned, touched his head, and said thoughtfully, "Could it be that when I splashed gasoline on him, he was absorbed into the Fire-Spreaders by me?"

"......"

Powerless, very powerless.

Ji Yue hadn't felt this powerless even on the day the world faced its doomsday and the 【Faith Game】 descended.

She once suspected that Qin Xin had no other purpose in recruiting Chen Shu, just not wanting this exaggerated weapon of bad luck aimed at the Fire-Spreaders. But facts proved that such weapons were often AOE, not distinguishing between friend and foe.

Ji Yue was very helpless and sighed: "What do you plan to do?"

"I plan to find you first."

"And then?"

"Find him."

"How to find him?"

"That depends on you."

"......" Ji Yue clenched her fists, "What exactly is in your brain?"

Chen Shu pointed to his bald head embarrassedly and said with extreme holiness: "The fire to be spread, and the bright light."

"......"

Why did Fang Jue suddenly seem a lot cuter...

Ji Yue stopped talking and turned to leave. Chen Shu followed closely, his small steps pattering: "As expected of a scholar, you thought of a way so quickly. Where are we going to find my brother-in-law now?"

"We are not going to find your brother-in... the Fate Weaver!"

Chen Shu touched his head, tilted it in confusion: "Then what are we going to do?"

"Solve the trouble."

Ji Yue swung her spear horizontally, her fighting spirit surging:

"You said it yourself, the Fate Weaver's greatest danger comes from the Scavenger and the Historian.

Since that's the case, why not eliminate the danger first?

Get rid of those two, and without external threats, the Fate Weaver can be found anytime. Perhaps after it's safe, he will show up himself."

Chen Shu's pupils shrank. Although he thought it made sense, he was still worried.

"The Historian doesn't have much ability, but the Scavenger is very dangerous. This matter is a bit difficult."

Ji Yue walked toward the moon and laughed loudly:

"No matter how difficult...

Can it be harder than spreading the fire?"

"!!!"

The indomitable spirit of 【War】 completely ignited Chen Shu at this moment. He nodded vigorously and agreed extremely:

"Correct, no matter how difficult, can it be harder than spreading the fire!?

As expected of the Fire-Spreader's Salary-Seeker, a few words from you have ignited me!

Let's go, take them down!!"

This should have been a blood-boiling scene, a swan song of the 【War】 will reflected in reality, but Ji Yue's footsteps paused, her face turned livid, her eyelids twitched violently as she looked at Chen Shu:

"Extinguish the fire on your body!

Why did you light yourself up in the pitch-black dark!?

Are you afraid they won't see us!?

I don't want my teammate to turn into a charred corpse before finding the enemy!

Chen Shu, hurry up and put out the fire for me!!!"

At this moment, Chen Shu felt as aggrieved as an elementary school student called out by a teacher.

"But you were the one who ignited first..."

"......"

Can this fire really be spread?

Ji Yue, who had never been lost, was a bit lost at this moment.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

While the two Fire-Spreaders were dancing with fire, a scream suddenly came from a quiet alley on the other side of the square.

But as soon as the scream emerged, it was muffled back, and then a series of rustling villainous laughter sounded in the alley.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I said there would be a harvest tonight, but I didn't expect the harvest to come so quickly.

Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

Shadow Cheng Shi pulled the drunkard's hair and covered his mouth, while Cheng Shi held a scalpel and slid it across the other's neck, the blade tapping lightly against the bulging blood vessels, saying mysteriously:

"Don't think about lying; I can tell you were pretending to sleep just now.

Interesting, someone pretending to sleep under the statue while drunk... If I said you didn't know about the statue's babbling, I'm afraid even you wouldn't believe it, right?"

Hearing the words "statue's babbling," the drunkard instantly sobered up, breaking into a cold sweat.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi smiled even more happily.

"It seems you are ready to confess?"
