Chapter 1152: The murmur of the statue
The murmur of the statue
"He left?"
Ji Yue on the bed had already sat up halfway, looking at Chen Shu who pushed the door and entered, asking with a smile.
Chen Shu nodded, dragged a chair and sat by the bed, staring straight at Ji Yue, making Ji Yue's heart feel hairy.
At this moment, she remembered the sentence Cheng Shi said:
"Don't forget, this person is a member of your Fire-Spreader, is it still funny?"
Not funny at all!
Her smile froze on her face.
But always freezing like this is not a thing. After really unable to bear such a direct gaze, Ji Yue moved her gaze away and changed the topic:
"Why join the Fire-Spreader?"
There seem to be some naturally chatty topics among Fire-Spreaders, such as beauty, dreams, missions... Speaking of which, Ji Yue's move is not abrupt. Two Fire-Spreaders who have just recognized each other should understand each other's will to spread the fire.
Chen Shu was stunned, and after a moment of silence, said seriously:
"Grandma said there are many good people in this world, but I didn't find them, so I think this world is wrong, and I have to correct it."
"..."
Ji Yue didn't expect Chen Shu to give such a reason. She looked at Chen Shu in shock, and not long after, a smile bloomed on her face:
"So you want to protect this kind of beauty, hmm, very good.
Qin Xin's eye for people is as sharp as ever."
Once mentioning spreading the fire, Chen Shu always restrains a bit. He laughed awkwardly, touched his head and said:
"What about you? What is it for?"
"For what..."
Ji Yue's eyes were confused for a moment, shook her head and said:
"Actually, it should be said to be an accident.
Fang Shiqing, the Salary Seeker of the City Defender, let it slip in a trial, letting me accidentally know about the Fire-Spreader.
Perhaps feeling that I am not a bad person, she issued an invitation to me.
Reasonably speaking, with my temper, the gentle and calm personality of Shiqing probably couldn't persuade me, but there was a fire in my heart, always feeling that a bold statement seemed to have persuaded me, pushing me to embark on the road of spreading the fire.
But whenever I try to recall and savor it, it disappears again.
I thought this was the guidance given to me by fate in the dark.
But today... I seem to have dreamed of some chaotic scenes again. Those fragmented pictures tell me that the bold statement seemed to have existed... so much so that I am a bit confused now.
But even if there is no bold statement, I recognize what the Fire-Spreader is doing.
When I established the Mutual Aid Association with Fang Jue, I said that the more difficult and dangerous it is, the more people should unite.
There are already too many people lost in meaningless faith and piety in this world, but those high-and-mighty gods... may not really treat people as people.
Since this is the case, humans themselves naturally have to vindicate humans!
I don't want to live like a maggot, so I agreed to Shiqing and joined the fire.
Even if taking this step is just turning from a worm into a moth, I admit it.
Because my life cannot lose fire!"
"Clap clap clap!"
Chen Shu actually applauded while listening. He ignored Ji Yue's embarrassment and appreciated: "Is this the reason you chose 【War】?"
Ji Yue's face stiffened, and she turned her head away: "That was also an accident."
"Another accident?
You have quite a lot of variables in your life."
Chen Shu smacked his lips, "Then do you think our next plan will have accidents?"
"... I am not a 【Fate】 believer.
But the plan you mentioned... what plan?"
Chen Shu straightened his body:
"The plan to find Envoy Envoy Yu Xi!
You must have heard the news about Envoy Envoy Yu Xi. Since we know His stance, we should actively contact Him even more!
My brother-in-law eats soft but not hard, and is the key to this plan, so if you want to ask him for help, you have to make him owe another favor."
"When can you recover? When you recover, I'll take you to get the field back!"
"Kill the historian and the cleaner?"
"Not just them, but also those 【Annihilation】 believers who have no eyes. This time, kill until my brother-in-law agrees!"
"..." Ji Yue looked at Chen Shu with a strange expression for a long time and said, "I thought you were a City Defender, but I didn't expect you to be a City Builder?"
Chen Shu pondered for a moment, shook his head and said:
"No, I think I am a Cheng-shi-shi (Cheng Shi fan), he and my sister are still too compatible."
"..."
When Cheng Shi rushed back under the statue, the night had already begun to fade.
The streets of the town before dawn were the most desolate, even the patrolling guards became sparse. At this time, there were no figures, which gave him space to act freely.
Cheng Shi knocked and tapped around the statue, becoming more and more certain that this statue was hollow, and something must be hidden inside.
The previous investigation had already made him figure out some conditions of the statue. Don't look at this as just a stone carving, it is unbreakable by force, water and fire, and void does not reach. Ordinary people simply cannot break the statue, let alone enter it to see what's going on.
However, Cheng Shi is not an ordinary person. He thought of a way.
Since the statue's eyeballs move, it means its eye sockets and eyeballs must not be seamless. If so, if a die can be squeezed into this gap, he can use his talent to replace himself inside.
So Cheng Shi climbed to the highest point of the statue, hung on the eye socket and groped for a while, and it turned out he really found a small hole that looked like it had been worn out over the years in the gap of the eye socket.
And that small hole, coincidentally, could just accommodate a die!
Cheng Shi was overjoyed. For safety, he threw a handful of dice in, but when he activated the skill, he was still hanging outside the statue without any reaction.
"?"
This made Cheng Shi more certain that this statue seemed to have an inexplicable power that could cut off all divine power.
What should be done?
He jumped off the statue and frowned in thought. Seeing the glow outside the mountains, if he couldn't think of a way, he could only wait until the next night to come again. But Mo Shu and Zhao Xishi were circling outside, and any changes on the second day were hard to say. He didn't want to wait at all.
So after pondering for a moment, Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows and took out a... shovel from his portable space.
He prepared to put down all power and dig in from under the statue relying only on manpower!
Being able to touch and insert a die meant that the statue didn't reject all approaches. It was highly likely that it just cut off the influence of divine power. So if he actively discarded divine power, would there be a chance to find a road into the interior of the statue!?
Do it as he says. Cheng Shi looked at the direction where the morning glow appeared, shoveled open the first floor tile of the square ground in the shadow of the statue, and then his hands turned like wheels, starting to race against the rising sun.
Perhaps the people of Redicor never thought that one day someone would come to dig the corner of their statue, and the efficiency of this person digging the corner was not low.
Not long after, Cheng Shi dug out a "coffin camp" under the statue.
It's just that this time the coffin camp was not the underground space built by players to resist risks, but there was really a coffin!
Cheng Shi dug to the tomb of the so-called first Foolish Hunter under the statue.
To say that seeing a coffin under the statue without fear would definitely be a lie, but Cheng Shi, who had seen big scenes, still resisted the urge to retreat and patted the coffin wall lightly with the shovel in his hand.
And then, he understood what the murmur of the statue was.
"Save... save me..."
"!!??"
Cheng Shi's pupils shrank and disappeared in place instantly. ===== CHAPTER 1153 =====
