Chapter 163

Yes, I am a clown

The spear tip entered the flesh for an inch and did not go any deeper.

It wasn't that Ji Yue didn't use force, but that Cui Qiushi and Fang Shiqing rushed over, one on each shoulder, holding down the angry acting captain.

Ji Yue turned her head coldly, looked at Fang Shiqing, and teased:

"Undead Transcendence Society?

How come I didn't know there was a talent for summoning players in the undead series of talents?"

The embarrassment in Fang Shiqing's eyes flashed away, but she still elegantly squeezed out a smile.

"You are not shocked at all by Cheng Shi's arrival; it seems that in high-end games, there really are means to summon other players."

"It doesn't have to be a high-end game, can't you do it?"

Fang Shiqing shook her head and smiled: "Being able to be ranked with you, Ji Yue, can already be considered a high-end game."

This is a transparent flattery.

So transparent that when Ji Yue heard it, her tone stalled directly, not knowing how to respond.

Obviously, the other party gave a step.

At the moment of losing NPC assistance, Fang Shiqing's group had become her last help.

Even if the things both sides are looking for are the same, it doesn't matter; it is rumored that there are two unwithering Whispering Petals preserved by scholars, and wanting one more is of no benefit to her, and there is still a basis for cooperation with them.

The premise is, if the other teammate, that element judge, doesn't mind.

Speaking of teammates, where did the other two teammates go?

Just when Ji Yue frowned and looked around, the other two whom Cheng Shi had never seen in this trial climbed up from the ruins one after another.

You can always trust the self-preservation ability of players.

In overly chaotic occasions, they can always use various means to try to protect themselves.

Watching these two men with different expressions walk closer, Cheng Shi's attention was no longer attracted by the pain, but looked at these two people.

A 2500-point 【Order】 mage, Element Judge.

A 【Silence】 singer with unknown points, Prisoner.

"You..." This element judge was named Mo Wu, and his opening was endless irritability, "You are simply crazy... all the NPC knights are dead, what good does this do for us?

Also, who are you?"

Mo Wu's gaze looked at Cheng Shi, his eyes filled with suspicion and caution.

Cheng Shi always felt that this "teammate" had too much malice toward him, but it was also true, 【Order】 and 【Chaos】 are mortal enemies.

Even if he is not a true 【Chaos】, 【Chaos】 must like the things he just did.

The element judge raised his question, the prisoner held the chain, and didn't say a word.

Silence is the majority of them.

Even a singer who eats with his throat, under the guidance of His will, can only use chains instead of singing.

But making sounds is still a low-score performance; when prisoners increasingly understand His will and thus increasingly approach Him, these "external things" will be abandoned and gradually replaced by "silent roars" and "silent shouts."

By then, the prisoner can be considered a true 【Silence】 singer.

As for this prisoner now, Cheng Shi guessed that he was probably still under 2000 points.

But one thing to say, no matter which segment, the prisoner is a very powerful profession.

Because their auxiliary ability is not limited to amplifying teammates, but rather restricting opponents.

When handcuffs and shackles hit each other, enemies who feel the "imprisonment tune" often fall into a situation of being tied up, exposing flaws, and waiting to be slaughtered.

Cheng Shi looked at the two people carefully for a long time and stood up from the ground with the spear tip.

He looked at Ji Yue and frankly admitted his identity.

Very frankly, absolutely sincere.

"Yes, I am a clown."

"Cheng Shi, you..." Fang Shiqing was shocked.

"Big brother?" Bai Ling was stunned.

Cui Qiushi... forget it, the Order Knight is too honest; he was actually the least surprised at this time.

Because after he experienced the chaos just now, he felt that Cheng Shi must be a master among masters.

And the so-called clown, probably, only he himself is.

"..."

Ji Yue withdrew her gaze from the two teammates and looked at Cheng Shi coldly again.

"Even if it is lies like yesterday, you cannot replace two faiths in the same trial; what is going on with your healing chain of 'bathing in divine grace together'?"

"Why should I tell you?

Just because your spear is long?"

Ji Yue sneered and looked at Fang Shiqing and the others.

"I'm not sure where you come from, but wanting to gain something in this trial, just relying on a clown who stole the 【War】 faith, a knowledgeable poet, an Order Knight, and a... cute-acting hunter, is impossible.

I am your only partner for cooperation, and also your only choice.

State the answer, dispel my doubts, and I can consider cooperating with you."

Ji Yue's words were very interesting; she said "you," not "you all."

Obviously, after this chaos, she took a fancy to Cheng Shi's... ability.

Plus knowing that he was not the 【Chaos】 believer that Fang Jue needed to guard against, she was more willing to join forces with a "strong person."

After hearing these confident and arrogant words, Cheng Shi smiled.

"Beauty, don't think that just because you've had negative-distance contact with me, I must choose you.

I don't have a masochistic habit, besides...

There is still an element judge there.

Compared to 【Truth】, I prefer 【Order】."

As soon as he finished saying this, two sneers sounded at the scene.

One was Ji Yue's, and one was Mo Wu's.

They could all see that the look in Cheng Shi's eyes when looking at Mo Wu carried caution and measurement; before dealing with this element judge, perhaps, he really had no choice.

"Don't worry about my feelings, you don't trust me, just as I don't trust you."

Mo Wu generously stated his attitude; the look in his eyes when looking at other teammates was full of "firmness of order."

"But I still say that, before finding the real thing, trust should not be destroyed."

"..."

Fine, fine, fine, you are all righteous, and I am the only bad seed, right?

Cheng Shi was angered to laughter by the two people's attitudes, and he explained unhappily:

"Suggestion, psychological suggestion.

His believers' 'reason' has never been high; what made them respond to me was not the 'reason-lowering' of the Devourer of Reason, but the primitive madness in their hearts.

Before the foreseeable chaos begins, you only need to give them a little hint and guidance, and many little lunatics who can't hold onto their original hearts will take the bait directly.

And the fact of killing and the four words 'Devourer of Reason' are the best hints.

What made them abandon reason was not my skill, but themselves.

Disguise and killing are both chaos; for them, there is no distinction between high and low.

But when the situation begins to move toward chaos or even collapse, no matter what purpose they have hidden in the team, they will not let go of this disorderly feast.

Because all of this is the best dedication to Him.

But to be honest, I didn't expect that in your team...

No, I can't say that, I really didn't expect that you mixed into the enemy's team.

If it weren't for my move, you guys would probably not even know how you died!

Of course, no need to thank me, this is the performance that an orderly player should have.

Also, don't feel sorry for those dead knights anymore; you know, in this situation, no matter early or late, they couldn't escape.

I just advanced their liberation time a little bit.

Speaking of which, I can be considered a great good person.

However, Captain Ji, you are not a sentimental person.

Using the emotional card as a bargaining chip, this trick is a bit old-fashioned."

As Cheng Shi said these words, Ji Yue instantly withdrew her long spear.

She bloomed with an intoxicating smile again and reached out to Cheng Shi.

"Happy cooperation."

"?"

Cheng Shi was stunned again.

This sister's attitude change was too abrupt, without a trace of transition from cold treatment to enthusiastic handshake.

But he still reached out and shook Ji Yue's hand.

"Beauty, you make me a little scared."

"Scared of what?"

"Scared that you will be just as decisive when you sell me out."

Ji Yue laughed loudly: "This is not decisiveness, this is pragmatism, and pragmatism is also His will."

Ah, yes, yes, yes, I hope you are truly pragmatic, and not wanting to cover up.

"Interesting, the liar and the scholar reached a consensus; it seems that I have become the clown instead."

Mo Wu laughed at himself, took a step back, and pulled away from the crowd.

In this situation, his situation seems a bit embarrassing.

And Cheng Shi had no intention of squeezing out teammates at all; he stepped forward and grabbed Mo Wu's hand, stacked his hand on top of the two hands, and then smiled and said to everyone:

"Look, brothers are of one mind, their sharpness can cut metal; clearly everyone is a good person, why can't we cooperate together?"

Ji Yue glanced at Mo Wu, silent, and pondered Cheng Shi's attitude change with great interest.

And Mo Wu was clearly not that relaxed; his stiff palm covered Cheng Shi's hand, his wrist was pulled by Cheng Shi's other hand, he furrowed his brow and measured the two, his posture still cautious.

Obviously, he couldn't trust the clown.

He didn't know what medicine the clown was selling in his gourd.

But Cheng Shi didn't sell medicine, he only took the pulse.

"Tsk, brother, your heartbeat is a bit slow.

Generally speaking, those with such a slow heartbeat don't look like good people."
