Chapter 131

The Warrior of Today dies today.

Ji Ran looked at the options before him, his mind blank for a moment.

Actually, to him, it didn't matter who was redeemed.

He had just found some fun in this trial, so he agreed to this 【Void】 peer who came seeking cooperation, to act out a play with her.

But now this play seemed to have flopped.

Because he didn't know what kind of fate ending his peer actually wanted.

There were only three people on site, and two had already cast the same vote, so wouldn't he be a guaranteed failure?

Ji Ran chuckled inwardly:

Forget it, whatever the ending, kill the people first.

Only by cutting off others' fate is my choice of fate!

Yes, Ji Ran wasn't the murderer, but he really wanted to be one!

So he prepared to pick one at random and quickly end this time-stop that was wasting his time.

But unexpectedly, just as he was about to choose the Scholarly Chair Society, an option suddenly appeared on the final choice question of fate.

Zha Yinji'er!

Hmm?

Ha, interesting, she's awake.

Ji Ran laughed wildly inwardly, and then also chose Zha Yinji'er!

Correct, Seeing Zhen Xin was awake.

Or rather, her consciousness had always been there, just that her body hadn't recovered yet and couldn't get up.

And the rule of the final choice of fate was that as long as one was alive, one had the qualification to vote.

So, she told her partner her answer.

2:2.

It was a tie.

Li Bola's expression instantly turned ugly; the only time advantage was unexpectedly leveled.

And the final choice of fate never allowed a tie vote; if the situation reached a stalemate, He would randomly draw one from the tied answers as the final fate.

"Randomness" was one of His beloved authorities.

But Cheng Shi didn't like randomness, because that meant there was a 50% chance that Seeing Zhen Xin would completely win this round.

And he and the Ranger would also likely become souls under the Warrior's blade, stopping here.

Moreover, whether 【Fate】's randomness was random to him remained to be seen.

But even so, his expression wasn't ugly, and in his frozen expression, one could even see a trace of playfulness.

Ji Ran was right above Cheng Shi, looking down at him in a posture of splitting Mount Hua, his heart extremely puzzled.

This Withered Priest seemed to have a plan in mind; what was he thinking, and what was he waiting for?

Waiting for 【Fate】 to favor him?

Laughable, with a believer of 【Fate】 like me here, would the Lord still favor others?

Thinking of this, he seemed to have already seen Cheng Shi's death, split in two.

Truly pleasant, another thread of fate cut!

Cheng Shi naturally didn't know Ji Ran had so many thoughts in his head; he was just waiting.

As for what he was waiting for...

Sincerity!

Naturally, it was sincerity.

He was waiting for the sincerity he had planted to bloom and bear fruit, in exchange for an answer!

Time passed second by second, the final choice of fate began to enter a countdown, and not long after, He would draw a result from the two tied options.

And this result might not be what Cheng Shi wanted to see.

But just as the final choice was about to end, the tie was suddenly broken!

Hu Xuan, plus one!

Three to two!

Cheng Shi won!

Ji Ran widened his eyes abruptly, looking at the answer to the choice in disbelief, his eyes revealing shock and suspicion.

Li Bola was equally shocked; she seemed to have thought of someone, and a smile bloomed at the corners of her mouth.

The charred corpse remained motionless; no one could tell what a corpse was thinking.

And Cheng Shi, although his expression was frozen, the smile in his eyes was almost overflowing with happiness.

Hu Xuan had become an option and lost the ability to vote, so she definitely couldn't vote for herself.

Then whose hand did the last vote for her come from? The answer was obvious.

There were six people in this game, five on site, and one left outside!

That player was naturally...

Qin Chaoge!

This singer of 【War】, awakened by the stimulation of the final choice of fate, looked at the tied options before her and fell into deep thought.

After being knocked unconscious by "Miss Sha Man," she had been stuffed under the bed.

The medicinal powder Cheng Shi used to entertain "Miss Sha Man" naturally transferred to her mouth and nose.

But no matter how strong the power of this powder was, as long as the player wasn't dead when the final choice was activated, she had the right to vote.

So, Qin Chaoge woke up.

And she was also Cheng Shi's last hope.

Actually, the moment Cheng Shi exposed Seeing Zhen Xin's identity, he was already certain that Qin Chaoge's identity had just been replaced and she was still alive.

Because if this 【God-Chosen】 would harm her teammates, then back in the room in the Dark Church, he and the Ranger would have died long ago and wouldn't have made it to now.

This showed that Qin Chaoge would only be hidden by her, not killed directly.

But as long as she wasn't dead, she would always have the qualification to vote.

It wasn't that Seeing Zhen Xin hadn't calculated this problem, but how could a player who hadn't approached the truth at all cast a vote favoring the other side?

This kind of randomness was no different from letting 【Fate】 choose personally.

She liked to gamble, and felt that blind gambling was also part of the fun.

So, with both of them knowing, Qin Chaoge woke up under the bed and cast her precious vote.

But no one expected that this vote would make Cheng Shi's wild gamble win directly!

No, not everyone didn't expect it.

At least Cheng Shi guessed it.

When he knew that the person who ignored him and left directly wasn't Qin Chaoge, but Seeing Zhen Xin, he knew his sincerity hadn't yet yielded an answer!

And coincidentally, Qin Chaoge was an orderly singer.

She would definitely help him.

The problem was, Qin Chaoge, far away outside the void and in the town of Yuanmu, knew nothing about what happened later; how could she help, and how could she know which option he had chosen?

She had always known!

Because...

The singer's talent, the portrait in the melody!

Although this singer who could draw profiles once said she hadn't drawn a portrait of herself, when he flew into Miss Sha Man's room with a knife, she grabbed his collar in a rage!

Although this fit the behavioral logic of a 【War】 believer, it was more likely because she found she hadn't seen him clearly, so she angrily decided to redraw his portrait.

Cheng Shi had already thought of this point at the time, so his habit of leaving a backup plan made him comply.

You like to draw, right? I'll let you draw to your heart's content.

He held the singer's hand in reverse, their skin touching, heartbeats resonating.

The most perfect profiling time began.

You know, this kind of profiling description wasn't just recording, but also expanding and compensating.

Coupled with Qin Chaoge's observation and scrutiny of Cheng Shi over the past two days, she already "understood" Cheng Shi enough.

Although this priest had underground beliefs and wasn't as orderly as herself, he also wouldn't be a bad seed who trampled on order!

So, she "consciously" saw through Cheng Shi and deduced Cheng Shi's choice!

Even if she didn't know what the other option besides Hu Xuan meant, her talent told her that Cheng Shi would help Hu Xuan.

Admittedly, Hu Xuan was a madwoman, and she didn't like her.

But she also knew that Cheng Shi wasn't a deceiver; he was very sincere, even though this sincerity wasn't much, and even though this sincerity was cautious.

So.

3:2.

Fate moved without exception toward the destination Cheng Shi had crafted for the Life Sage!

Looking at this expected vote count, Cheng Shi smiled.

When you are weak, sincerity is the best weapon.

But sincerity is also a kind of deception.

Cheng Shi disguised himself, threw away his identity as a deceiver, but used mutual frank means to cheat two extra votes!

The possibility of victory was right before his eyes.

"Hum—"

The final choice disappeared.

The moment the text in the players' field of vision disappeared, a terrifying pressure surging from the "Star Dagger" erupted instantly.

The aftermath swept out like a storm, and before everyone could react, they were blown away directly.

Under the interference of this storm, Cheng Shi only saw Ji Ran's blade shave down along his nose tip, slashing along his chest, navel, and hip bone; it was only a hair's breadth away from making his brother run away from home directly.

"... Fuck!"

Cheng Shi broke out in a cold sweat.

Ji Ran was also caught off guard by the blast; he couldn't hold the greatsword in his hand steady, letting Cheng Shi escape a disaster.

By the time he wanted to swing his sword forward again, the thunder in Cheng Shi's hand was already whistling toward him.

Cheng Shi's reaction was too fast; even though he had almost been "beheaded," he didn't retreat a single step.

Instead, he lunged forward with the power of the storm, and then...

"Boom!"

Lightning overflowed, a thunderclap on flat ground!

This strike was too close, so close that Ji Ran had no way to dodge.

No, it wasn't that there was no way to dodge; filled with divine power, he wouldn't have been disturbed by this bit of storm, but the moment his choice failed, the favor of fate toward him disappeared.

He turned back into his ordinary self.

Ji Ran wasn't reconciled; he wanted to continue exchanging fate with others, but the Ranger had long since turned into the wind, merging with the storm.

As for Seeing Zhen Xin...

She was still a corpse that had just opened its eyes; who knew where she had been blown to.

So, there was nowhere to hide, nowhere to avoid.

This explosive thunder delivered by Cheng Shi's own hand to Ji Ran's chest blasted through his chest without exception.

"Pfft—"

His whole body tensed for a moment, spraying blood wildly, his eyes looking at his chest in disbelief, a flash of sorrow crossing his face.

But in the last second of his life, he pulled out a smile.

Cutting off the thread of fate was his own choice.

And now, this choice finally pointed to himself.

This was probably the closed loop of fate.

"Cheng... Shi..."

He wanted to share his final realization about fate with the person who had cut off his thread of fate with his own hands, yet at the final moment of his life, he didn't see Cheng Shi's figure.

Because after killing, Cheng Shi had long since left with the storm.

Just a stray dog dying on the side of the road, what was worth a second look?

The Clown sneered and fell into the void, a gale supporting him.

"Are you... really a priest?"

"Ah? Can't you see my healing is so strong?"

"... I only saw thunder."

"That's a prop, it's already used up."

Cheng Shi wasn't lying; the five charges given by the town residents were indeed used up.

But five 【Thunder Judgments】 only returned one offering.

Ah, this...

Considering Lele'er's hard work, if the debt is delayed a little longer, that Lord... shouldn't be angry, right?

Li Bola rolled with Cheng Shi to dodge in the storm, and hearing his words, chuckled.

"Yeah, I believe you."

"..."

Big sister, could your tone be any less convincing?
