Chapter 176: Cheng Shi: I Write the Ending, I Bestow the Generosity

Cheng Shi: I Write the Ending, I Bestow the Generosity

Although Ji Yue was a "Fire-Bringer" accepted by Cheng Shi, in Fang Shiqing's heart, she indeed already counted as half a Fire-Bringer.

And believing in teammates, believing in partners, had always been the motto of all Fire-Bringers.

So upon hearing Ji Yue's instructions, she decisively led the group toward the laboratory not far away, toward Cheng Shi, who was surrounded by dense leaves.

The Prisoner beat his shackles as he ran, and under the blessing of the 【Silent】 Singer, the Fire-Bringers ran faster and faster.

In the blink of an eye, they rushed into the door and stepped into this highest laboratory that had stood for over five hundred years.

But the moment the four of them pushed aside the branches and leaves scattered by the giant tree, they saw a familiar figure on the thick main trunk in the middle, carefully climbing down.

In his hand, he held a bundle wrapped in clothes, and it was bulging, not knowing what was hidden inside.

And on the other side of the laboratory, a gray-haired scholar with glasses lay on the ground, dead with eyes wide open, his fingers clearly still pointing in the direction of that figure.

Seeing this, everyone's eyes narrowed, their faces showing shock.

"Cheng Shi!?"

"Big Boss?"

"You..."

Correct, this figure was indeed Cheng Shi!

Cheng Shi was startled by the sudden sound; he immediately turned his head and hurriedly moved the thing in his hand behind his back.

Not until he saw clearly that the people who entered were his own did his solemn expression relax by half.

However, during the process of hiding the thing behind his back, the clothes wrapping the items parted slightly for an instant.

And it was this instant that allowed the four people at the door to see clearly what the thing he had wrapped in clothes actually was!

It was a flash of black and white!

If it were only this fleeting glimpse, everyone might not have thought much of it.

But if one added his posture of climbing down, his cautious and solemn expression, the scholar lying dead beside him, and the direction the scholar's fingers were pointing...

Looking at what Cheng Shi was hiding in his hand based on all these clues on the scene, the answer...

Seemed self-evident.

Everyone thought at this moment of the sacrificial prayer Ji Yue had spoken:

The tree blooming in the firmament, blooming with white flowers, reflecting the reflection of the void, bearing black fruit.

White and black, wouldn't that be the petals and fruit of the Conjugate Whisper!?

It absolutely couldn't be wrong!

What Cheng Shi was holding was very likely the petals and fruit of the Conjugate Whisper!

Everyone was shocked; they looked at Cheng Shi in disbelief, looked at the bundle he was hiding behind his back, their expressions incredibly brilliant.

He got it!

He actually got it!?

Could it be that the scholars' shouts were fake, and they had really been influenced by 【Chaos】 in their cognition?

The Conjugate Whisper had bloomed and borne fruit after all, and these two things were now in Cheng Shi's hands!

The experimental result that the Tower of Reason and Quality had nurtured for hundreds of years now belonged to us?

There were too many doubts in the players' hearts; at this very moment, there was no time for Cheng Shi to explain them one by one. Fang Shiqing knew this well, so she only asked one sentence:

"What... is in your hand..."

She was too nervous, so nervous that the hand tightly gripping the Book of Truth was trembling slightly, her knuckles white from excessive force, her lips pressed tightly together, waiting for Cheng Shi's response without daring to move.

But the hope in her eyes clearly looked ready to welcome a surprise.

Cheng Shi did not let this expectation fall through.

He stared at Fang Shiqing with burning eyes and nodded, also suppressing his excitement.

"Got it, one fruit, three petals!

History was wrong, it wasn't two!

They kept three petals of the Whisper that hadn't withered yet!"

What!!

Three!?

Fang Shiqing was dumbfounded, Cui Qiushi was shocked, Seeing Bai Ling was so excited she almost jumped up, and even the Prisoner, who never had an expression, revealed a rare smile.

Cheng Shi climbed down from the tree with nimble hands and feet, saying as he walked:

"I fell from the void and happened to run into the Great Scholar Ke Wei, who was making the final experimental records around this fruit.

I asked him if he was selling the petals, and he wouldn't sell.

So...

We had a bit of unpleasantness.

You all probably saw it too; I, really didn't mean to..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Silence descended in response.

The story in Cheng Shi's mouth was simply too outrageous, so outrageous that it didn't even sound made up.

No one would make up such an absurd fact, especially at such a critical moment.

But...

It wasn't that absolutely no one would fabricate facts; at least His believers liked to fabricate things at certain times.

Seeing Bai Ling never doubted Cheng Shi, and Cui Qiushi didn't even think in the direction of faking it.

Only Fang Shiqing hesitated the moment she saw Cheng Shi reveal the fruit.

But in an instant, she figured out one thing, which was:

The matter of her summoning Cheng Shi over was entirely a temporary idea based on the situation.

In other words, the time their trial started was earlier than Cheng Shi's descent; using this as a theoretical basis, then before the clown appeared, the answer must have already existed in this trial, and this answer was naturally the petals they were seeking.

Since the petals truly existed, the existence of the fruit was also a matter of course.

Based on this, Fang Shiqing figured everything out in a flash, cast aside her doubts, and affirmed the existence in Cheng Shi's hands.

He only picked it, not fabricated it.

However, this "young" Fire-Bringer forgot to take fate into account.

Or rather, except for the believers of 【Fate】, few people could remember Him at every moment.

Therefore, a Fire-Bringer who ignored fate was unexpectedly favored by fate at this moment.

It must be said, this is fate.

So they believed.

The Fire-Bringers believed!

So the scholars of the Void Mass-Energy system had actually kept three petals!!

So the sentence in Cheng Shi's mouth about "asking them if they were selling the Whisper petals" was also true; this whimsical clown had actually issued a purchase invitation to the Great Scholar and "accidentally" killed him because of the Great Scholar's refusal.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

They could even imagine how absurd that scene was.

A person in charge who had taken over hundreds of years of inherited experiments was asked by a stranger who fell from the sky if he was selling the experimental result he had waited a lifetime for...

This scene was too beautiful, and this ending was too shocking, so much so that the shocked crowd had nothing but buzzing in their heads.

They directly ignored the Great Scholar's death, or rather, no one wanted to know how he died; everyone just wanted to know what the petals and fruit looked like.

Cheng Shi saw everyone's longing, so he carefully lifted a corner of the clothes and unfolded that black and white in front of everyone.

Everyone stepped forward excitedly and sure enough saw that wrapped in the ball of clothes were three slender white petals and a black fruit the size of a fist.

That fruit flowed with pitch-black light, and the petals shone with blinding white light!

Conjugate Whisper!

The wait of over five hundred years finally yielded a result at this moment.

This one fruit and three petals were the "truth" that the entire Void Mass-Energy department had sought for generations.

And at this moment, it all belonged to the "Fire-Bringers"!

Indeed, this Conjugate Whisper, which hadn't borne fruit even in front of the Great Scholar Ke Wei, finally bloomed and bore fruit under the witness of several people.

The players stepped forward excitedly again, wanting to take a closer look, but at this time, Cheng Shi suddenly rolled up the clothes and stuffed the bundle back into his arms.

Seeing his actions, Cui Qiushi's expression turned solemn, and he reacted.

The current situation was indeed not the time to enjoy victory.

They needed to escape immediately from the encirclement of the Funeral Bell Knights and the pursuit of the moles in the experimental field.

After leaving here and holding out until the trial ended, that moment would be the time to truly breathe a sigh of relief.

So Cui Qiushi turned around decisively and walked toward the door.

"I'll go meet Ji Yue, everyone follow; we might be able to find a chance to break out!"

"Qiushi, watch your step!"

Fang Shiqing looked at the walkway below with furrowed brows, seeing the dense 【Chaos】 believers rushing up on the crisscrossing suspended walkways, and said with a worried face:

"There are too many enemies; they have almost controlled the entire experimental field. If we want to leave, we can only rely on...

【Giggling and Mocking】!

Cheng Shi, we..."

Cheng Shi's expression was equally solemn, even more solemn than hers. He glanced at Fang Shiqing and nodded slightly.

Fang Shiqing's heart settled a bit. She, who was mixed with nervous and excited emotions, didn't notice Cheng Shi's abnormality. She followed Cui Qiushi out of the laboratory, preparing to meet the Knowledge Scholar who was being forced back step by step by the enemy.

Cui Qiushi was like a loyal warrior, taking the lead and turning back to rush to the front line.

Fang Shiqing followed closely, her slender fingers already flipping open the Book of Truth.

Seeing Bai Ling had been silently following behind the two, but just as she took a step, she turned around without warning and plunged the dagger hidden in her hand into the Prisoner's stomach behind her!

"Ssh—"

Blood sprayed!

The Prisoner widened his eyes violently. He waved his hand in shock and anger, whipping the chains on his arms toward Seeing Bai Ling.

Seeing Bai Ling dodged the blow with a nimble head, rolled to the side, and immediately protected herself in front of Cheng Shi.

Only to see her pull out a long bow, draw the string, aim at the Prisoner, and say with a tense face and panting breath:

"Big Boss, run quickly, he has a problem!"

Seeing Seeing Bai Ling's actions, Cheng Shi's face became even gloomier.

How could he not know there was a problem here, but the problem he was concerned about was not the Prisoner, but the... invisible person who had never appeared, hiding in some corner!

On the scene, there were not only the three of them! ===== CHAPTER 177 =====
