Chapter 20: Believer of [Chaos]

Believer of 【Chaos】

"Forgotten doctor?"

Fang Shiqing looked at Cheng Shi with interest and smiled as she picked up the pocket watch on the table.

Others also picked up the pocket watches one after another, but the expressions on their faces were each wonderful in their own way.

Their gazes kept looking back and forth between Cheng Shi and Xu Lu, thinking that the nasal girl's fear had a reason.

The defensive posture was set up like this, and this Cheng Shi actually jumped big in the face, for fear that others wouldn't know he and the nasal girl were opposite.

Xu Lu obviously didn't dare to accept Cheng Shi's things. She compared the pocket watch to calibrate the time, and then pushed the pocket watch back.

"The forgotten doctor is not a good answer in the 【Memory】 trial, Cheng Shi, I hope you don't do too much to the NPCs. Over-accelerating them will cause memory collapse, we might be trapped in the memory and unable to get out."

Cheng Shi shrugged indifferently, picked up the pocket watch, and turned to leave.

He was going to a place where no one was to practice 【Decree Action】.

The tavern is very large, with two floors.

The style is similar to medieval Nordic, with wooden decoration plus wild animal fur decoration, very rough.

There are dozens of tables up and down, almost full of people.

Clinking glasses and roaring sounds filled his ears. Cheng Shi couldn't hear the voices of other teammates after walking a few steps.

There is also a hollow design at the bar in the middle, and the entire second-floor railing is surrounded by a circle. One can easily see the whole picture of the first floor by poking their head out.

Cheng Shi walked two steps quickly, turned a corridor, and in a corner where no one could see, took out his "dice of fate."

【Decree Action】 ended smoothly, he felt the favor of "time" on his fingertips, and walked out with a smile.

Time to start investigating.

The 【Memory】 trial is much more "civilized" than 【War】, and there are rarely moments of fighting. Even if there are, they are generally limited to a small range and solved quickly.

In the 【Memory】 trial, every scene is someone else's memory. If the memory picture is distorted too much, the memory is likely to collapse, leading to people being trapped forever.

And the goal of the trial is to constantly find the "memory body" in each scene of memory, that is, the true owner of this memory.

In terms of the current scene, the memory owner must have been here and stayed here for a long time, so he would have a deep memory of the tavern's layout and tavern guests.

But a person's memory is biased. The places he pays attention to, the "NPCs" will be more active, and their behavior and logic will be the same as normal people.

And the places he ignored often appear with some blurry fragments.

The "NPCs" restored from these fragments will have such and such "errors." Although these "errors" are not obvious, players who want to clear the trial must find them.

And the simplest, most mindless way to find the wrong method is... to grope and search.

That is, chatting with them one by one.

But chatting also has techniques. Once the chat fails and causes other trouble, the memory is likely to be distorted, leading to the trial failing directly.

Cheng Shi is not very good at chatting, but he is very good at deceiving people.

He saw several tavern waiters come out of a small room one after another, took advantage of no one, flashed into the room, quickly stole a waiter's uniform, changed into it, and slipped out.

Just out of the door, he saw Fang Shiqing taking the nasal girl and sneaking towards here.

He smiled knowingly, coincidence, thought of the same piece.

Fang Shiqing saw that Cheng Shi had already changed into the waiter's uniform, her eyes lit up, and she praised in a low voice:

"Smart!"

Cheng Shi was very useful and smiled: "The big shot's praise is the motivation for my progress."

Xu Lu hid behind Fang Shiqing, her eyes full of guard, and muttered: "So fake."

Fang Shiqing smiled:

"I think you also know the 【Decree Action】 of my Lord, share a piece of knowledge with me, the brilliance of 【Truth】 will shine on you to move forward."

The 【Decree Action】 of 【Truth】 is seeking knowledge. Any unknown law or knowledge can make believers of 【Truth】 closer to "truth."

And for believers of 【Truth】 who have auxiliary or defensive skills, if they want to get His protection, they must share some knowledge for His believers.

Cheng Shi rolled his eyes and quickly shared a small piece of knowledge.

"Inserting a finger into the anus and rotating for thirty seconds can effectively suppress hiccups."

"?"

"?"

As soon as Cheng Shi shared it, the two ladies in front froze on the spot.

The nasal girl's expression was wonderful, and she didn't know whether it was fear or disgust. In short, the opposite faith player was too perverted, which was indeed a threat to her own safety.

She moved two steps slowly and leaned close to Fang Shiqing.

As for Fang Shiqing, she felt the brilliance of 【Truth】 surging towards Cheng Shi, which meant Cheng Shi didn't talk nonsense, this was indeed true.

"How... did you discover it?"

"Ah, I am a doctor, practice brings true knowledge."

"A doctor in reality?"

Cheng Shi didn't change his face: "Doesn't it look like it?"

Although Cheng Shi meant that he had practiced on others, Fang Shiqing's gaze still couldn't help but want to aim at his butt.

"... Thank you, taught."

She smiled reluctantly and took the nasal girl into the changing room without looking back.

Cheng Shi smiled and left, starting his investigation work.

Several players roughly divided the area. Cheng Shi was assigned the entire east side of the first floor, about a dozen tables.

Chatting with people is actually a very boring thing, especially for social phobia Cheng Shi.

He took a tray, stole a few bottles of wine from several tables of drunk tavern guests, and then started his wine delivery work.

Every time he arrived at a table, he said in a board-and-eye way that this was today's activity, the boss sent wine, and then asked how the tavern guests drank, were they happy, if they were happy, could they tell a gossip, just as the wine fee for this bottle of wine.

To tell the truth, Bilius's wine is not cheap. Seeing that the shop has wine to send, the tavern guests are very happy and quickly shared various gossip they heard.

After all, they were originally bragging, and it's so cost-effective to change a bottle of wine for one more brag, it's simply too cool.

So Cheng Shi became a gossip vacuum cleaner, sucking wherever he went.

Before long, he had heard all kinds of gossip about this "Brooks Town."

"The town was originally the fief of Duke Brooks, and later more and more refugees developed it into an administrative town, but it is said that the mayor was not sent by the king, but impersonated by refugees. Don't ask me how I know, this is a secret."

"Even the judge in the town is impersonated by refugees."

"They even impersonated strip dancers, until the clothes were stripped clean and people found that there was that thing, the noble lords knew that these dancers were originally men."

"But they are still very popular, at least more popular than the original dancers."

"Why is your boss generous recently, is he also impersonated? What, you want to report it, buddy, isn't it good to be generous, at least you have money to earn."

"Refugees poured in from Gasimara, it is said that underground faith is spreading in the Tower of Reason, they started a civil war and expelled faith heretics, and then these people ran to Bilius. Isn't this an old news from a long time ago, why are you asking this?"

"There are more refugees than citizens, the Duke is also worried, but at least the noble lords like them, good quality and cheap."

"Gossip, what gossip? Does York buying a prostitute and buying an orc girl count? It is said that after that day, York was shouting her name in his dreams. You ask who York is? He is the Duke's groom, sitting at that table, see it, the most cowardly one..."

"Strange, York actually has money to buy prostitutes and buy drunk, doesn't he still owe your boss a lot of money?"

"..."

1 hour passed, Cheng Shi listened so forgetfully that if it weren't for the pocket watch reporting the time, he would have wanted to continue listening.

It's so interesting, this is much more interesting than the trial.

What, you ask why I am a social phobia and why I like communication so much?

I think social terrorists should also count as social phobia?

But the trial is ultimately a trial, and Cheng Shi, who didn't find any abnormalities, had to go back to gather with his teammates.

When the six players gathered at the table again, everyone's face was full of solemnity.

Except for Cheng Shi.

He was happy.

"Why are you frowning, did everyone find any problems?"

A-Ming pursed his lips and shook his head, Fang Shiqing frowned and thought, even Huang Bo, who kept scratching his scalp, didn't move this time, hanging his head and not knowing what he was thinking.

"According to past experience, in a memory scene, there should be some errors that are not obvious but easy to find clues, but this time, Xu Lu and I almost listened to all the wine tables, including the second floor, and didn't find any NPCs with 'too stiff' logic completion. They seem to be very normal, normal not like people in memory."

"Me too, I even used my talent to feel their hearts, very calm, very orderly, not like people in memory."

"Can you read minds?" Cheng Shi was stunned and became interested.

A-Ming hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, just a vague feeling, I'm not convenient to say the specifics."

Cheng Shi nodded and looked at Fang Shiqing again. He felt that this big wavy teacher also had similar skills, and should be stronger.

Fang Shiqing saw Cheng Shi looking over and asked back: "What about you?"

"Me? No discovery, but I heard a lot of gossip, do you want to listen?"

"..." Remembering the cold knowledge Cheng Shi said, she twitched her mouth and turned to others.

"Brother Huang?"

"Hmm... headache... no! Shouldn't have!"

Fang Shiqing and Cheng Shi heard this and frowned slightly. They had the same thought in their hearts:

Broken, this uncle is a believer of 【Chaos】. ===== CHAPTER 21 =====
