Chapter 235: Watch my bravery?

Watch my bravery?

If the best way to escape from prison before the collapse was to disguise as a disciplinary knight, then the safest means after the explosion was to impersonate a corpse.

Too many people died in this disaster, and the corpses were piled up like mountains; becoming a corpse and joining them was the most normal and simplest method.

That was what the master of trickery thought, so he imitated a corpse and deceived those knights who were trying hard to dig the soil.

But his luck seemed a bit worse; just when he finally managed to hold on until he was dug out and thrown into the corpse pile, Cheng Shi came.

And not early or late, he just happened to see him being dragged out of the pit.

Thus, Cheng Shi, who was overjoyed, decided to write a play for this master of trickery who once claimed to be a screenwriter, an impromptu performance play.

"You must not let me down, Nicholas Zhao Si."

He didn't go directly to expose this teammate, but looked around for something, and before long, he found it... mice.

Many mice.

There were many mice after the disaster; even if the collapsed prison crushed countless mice, some lucky ones still survived.

As the saying goes, those who survive a great disaster are bound to have good fortune, so a few mice with good fortune were "lucky" enough to fall into Cheng Shi's hands.

He secretly took out a deck of ordinary playing cards from his portable space, used glue to secretly stick the cards onto the mice's bellies, squeezed some stimulating potion into the mice's mouths and noses to make them manic, and then threw these "modified" mice toward the corpse pile all at once.

The mice in the prison were extremely omnivorous; they liked to eat meat and also liked to eat human corpses. After suffering "inhuman" torture, they urgently needed a full meal to relieve their discomfort, so a group of red-eyed mice scattered, smelling the scent.

This scene might not be considered an anomaly in the eyes of the nearby city guard knights, but in Zhao Si's eyes...

It was life-threatening.

Like Cheng Shi, he had long seen through that this was a civil war of 【Deceit】, so when he saw a group of red-eyed mice approaching, the first thing he thought of was that disappeared hunter, Su Wu!

He should be a beast tamer, and he wasn't dead yet!

Then were these mice his means? What did he want to do?

No, wait... why were there playing cards stuck on the mice's bellies?

Magician? The magician was also still alive? And teamed up with the beast tamer?

Could it be that they knew he was the one who ignited the explosives, so they teamed up to retaliate?

Bad, going to be in trouble!

Zhao Si couldn't lie still; danger was approaching. He felt he couldn't sit still and wait for death by disguising as a corpse, because no one knew what kind of unimaginable operations these liar teammates would perform!

So he acted; there were too many knights around, not allowing him to take the risk to gamble, so for safety's sake, he silently changed his posture, launched abstract imitation, and disguised himself as...

A mouse.

A huge mouse.

This move was useless to the city guard knights, because Zhao Si's target was these mice; this was a trick he used to confuse the mice in front of him!

He chose the simplest method, which was to deceive these mice, letting them think that he was also a member of the mouse group that was eating, thereby avoiding himself and not biting him.

Must say this was the method with the least risk and the most clever; this master of trickery's thinking was excellent, and his reaction speed and performance were also perfect, simply bringing this impromptu performance to life!

Anyone who saw it had to exclaim "Good!".

Even a screenwriter couldn't write such a perfect script!

The only pity was that there was a viewer on the scene who liked to pick faults, and this viewer happened to be a "screenwriter."

After witnessing all this, Cheng Shi suppressed his laughter and made a suggestion to the surrounding knight companions.

"Too many mice cause disasters. I feel we can't just dig the ruins blindly. These mice wandering around should also be handled appropriately, otherwise, they will bring diseases to the city.

Look at the mouse group on the corpse pile; their eyes are red from eating. If this continues, I fear they will endanger the citizens living around.

Why not... burn a part first?

Everyone, please step back a bit, I will set the fire!"

To be fair, what Cheng Shi said wasn't a lie; he didn't even touch his nose.

He just hid his little thoughts in this sincere suggestion, solving trouble for Montrani while incidentally solving his own demands.

The knights felt he was right, so they stepped back a few steps one after another, leaving an open space around the corpse pile.

But it was these few steps that made Zhao Si completely lose the space to buffer with the city guard knights. Know that no matter what 【Deceit】 talent it was, it always pursued rationality when launched.

You can tamper with details that everyone didn't see clearly, you can also hide the truth that everyone didn't remember clearly, and you can even fish in troubled waters and disguise as another person, but the premise is, don't create too outrageous cognitive contradictions.

【Deceit】, even if it is stained with 【Chaos】 means stolen, its essence is still in "deceiving" and "fraud," not confusion.

Currently, in the eyes of all the knights, there were only mice and dead prisoners on the corpse pile. At this time, if you turned into another knight, that wouldn't be a deceit performance, but competing to be a clown.

So, after hearing Cheng Shi's words, Zhao Si's face became extremely ugly!

How could it be such a coincidence!

Who exactly is pushing all this!

Is this knight the magician?

Or are the magician and the beast tamer mixed in these knights, watching here secretly!?

Mice ran rampant for a day and no one cared; why did they become an eyesore just when he was thrown into the corpse pile?

There couldn't be so many coincidences in this world; there must be a mastermind pushing everything!

Good, very good, your means are really brilliant!

Zhao Si gritted his teeth but was helpless, and Cheng Shi naturally wouldn't give Zhao Si time to think of any way. He hooked the corners of his mouth slightly and casually threw a torch stuck on the ground over.

The torch happened to land beside Zhao Si's feet, and the flame ignited the prisoner uniform of the corpse under him, the flame slowly spreading toward his body along the fabric.

When seeing the landing position of the torch, Zhao Si confirmed that this damn knight must be his teammate; as for who it was, it was hard to say!

"Damn it, fight."

The master of trickery was anxious; he couldn't use tricks calmly anymore, so he had to rise in anger and try to break through toward the side with the fewest knights.

While rushing, he also attempted to mix into the crowd to deceive the knights' cognition, but this scene was too weird, so weird that it was hard for anyone to believe that this fleeing figure would be a knight companion, so without Cheng Shi needing to act, the surrounding city guard knights surrounded him with serious faces.

Of course, Cheng Shi wouldn't miss this opportunity.

He mixed in the knight team, holding a cavalry lance and stabbing randomly; clearly, they were all very casual strikes, but he could always point to the necessary route for Zhao Si to escape, constantly forcing Zhao Si, whose eyes flashed with hope, back into a state of disappointment.

After three or four times like this, Zhao Si finally noticed this city guard knight behind him.

It's him!

It's the liar teammate!

Who is he!?

That was a somewhat unfamiliar face, looked decent, but very annoying. Zhao Si didn't remember seeing this face, but he always had a familiar feeling.

That magician Li Yi?

Or that beast tamer Su Wu?

No matter who it was, better to kill him in the chaos, otherwise he couldn't escape at all.

So Zhao Si, who was squeezed with almost no activity space, suddenly killed to Cheng Shi's front with an unimaginable turn, and he threw a thunder spell at Cheng Shi with a gloomy face, but didn't expect the other party to be even more excited after seeing him turn back.

?

The one who hit the question mark wasn't Cheng Shi, but Zhao Si.

He was stunned for a moment, but it was this moment that he felt his eyes suddenly blur.

Only to see Cheng Shi dodge this thunder element attack with reaction power and speed that ordinary people couldn't understand, rushed into Zhao Si's arms in one stride, and then pinched his neck with his left hand with unstoppable power, held the lance high with his right hand, and asked with a somewhat playful gaze:

"Watch my bravery?"

After speaking, without waiting for Zhao Si to respond, he stabbed down fiercely with the lance. The sharp cavalry lance directly pierced through Zhao Si's chest, and the huge force wrapped around this master of trickery, who was full of horror, and smashed him down suddenly, nailing him firmly into the soil under his feet in the blink of an eye.

"Bang—"

Dust rose, and screams filled the hall.

The warrior of today moved and landed, turned around, clapped his hands, all in one go.

Although the surrounding knights were surprised by Cheng Shi's combat power, they didn't pay too much attention to the result of this battle, just suddenly shouted toward the surroundings when everything settled:

"City guard knights pay attention, there may still be people feigning death to escape in the corpse pile, line up, surround, count, and carry out fire punishment!"

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen prisoners wearing prisoner helmets of various colors in the corpse pile indeed wailed and broke through toward various directions.

Cheng Shi watched them lose their footing like Zhao Si and smiled with emotion.

"Sure enough, the protagonist of 【Chaos】 has never been just the players..."

After speaking, he dragged Zhao Si's corpse and walked toward a corner where no one was.

It was time to confirm the result of that conjecture in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 236 =====
