Chapter 236: Absurd ending, terrifying beginning

Absurd ending, terrifying beginning

"You..."

"Oh, I'm just going to confirm if this death-duel prisoner who escaped is dead; I'll be back soon."

Watching Cheng Shi still "sadly" touching his nose, his knight companion immediately understood.

No wonder he was so sad, even a few of these damn prisoners survived, while his brothers...

Sigh, what a pitiful person; let him vent the grief in his heart.

"Go, go and come back early; I will speak for you on the captain's side."

"..." You are quite a good person.

Cheng Shi smiled and waved his hand, decisively dragging Zhao Si's corpse away.

Go and come back early? Impossible; not coming back at all is more like it.

The ruins were brightly lit, and it didn't look like there was a suitable place for Cheng Shi to do some private things, but know that light and darkness are always born together, and even the brightest places will have dark corners.

And Cheng Shi was best at finding these inconspicuous places.

So he dragged the corpse under a magic lamp that wasn't so conspicuous and not so "gregarious." Don't look at this place being far brighter than the surroundings, but it was precisely because of this brightness that people would squint their eyes or directly shift their gaze when looking here, thereby avoiding this dazzling light, unable to see the people and things under the light clearly.

Seeing that the attention of the surrounding knights wasn't on himself, Cheng Shi took out the Tomb's End Stone he had swiped from his portable space with a solemn expression, and then cautiously stuck it on Zhao Si's prisoner helmet.

This was his verification plan!

Although he believed Li Yi's judgment, thinking that the true identity of all players in this trial wasn't a slice of someone, he still wanted to verify it one last time.

The feeling this trial gave him was very strange, the rhythm was surprisingly fast, and the development of "fate" almost connected all the trajectories of "deceit."

This unprecedented feeling made Cheng Shi feel a little uneasy in his heart, so for the sake of stability, he prepared to uncover Zhao Si's arena mask to see the face hidden underneath, whether it was...

Himself.

Hope not, otherwise...

After a while, only a crisp "click" sound was heard, and the prosperous leaf veins in the prisoner helmet were exhausted.

Cheng Shi decisively put away the stone and carefully picked and shattered the brittle "iron paper" with the tip of his cavalry lance.

"Thump thump... thump thump..."

His heart was beating very fast, and it was still accelerating, but his hand reached out very slowly, so slowly that he almost didn't dare to uncover that final mysterious veil.

But a story always needs an ending. After comforting himself for a long time, Cheng Shi finally swept away that obstructive prisoner helmet in one go.

However, when the fragments of the prisoner helmet fell, and Zhao Si's face appeared in his field of vision, Cheng Shi was extremely uncomposed and stabbed the cavalry lance in his hand straight into the soil beside Zhao Si's head!

His pupils shook violently, and his spine stiffened!

Because the teammate in front of him actually had a face exactly the same as his own!

He was another Cheng Shi!

A master of trickery "Cheng Shi" who thought his surname was Zhao!

Cheng Shi's eyes widened suddenly, filled with shock, and then this shock rapidly turned into playfulness and self-mockery.

"Heh, it really is a slice...

So my teammates are all my slices?"

He looked at this scene in front of him for a long time, then laughed, laughed inexplicably, laughed eerily and creepily.

It really is chaotic!

Who exactly is playing tricks?

And who tampered with his cognition?

【Chaos】? 【Order】? 【Deceit】? Or 【Fate】?

Why does my teammate have a face exactly the same as mine?

Did he imitate me?

No, he is already dead, dead beyond dead; even an SSS-level talent should have expired by now.

So, did he have this face originally? Was he the same as himself originally? Or... was he himself originally?

Another self?

Or... another five selves?

Fake, all fake.

This is impossible!

I am just me, there will be no slices, and it is even more impossible to be someone else's slice!

Cheng Shi's smile suddenly vanished; he looked around with a gloomy gaze, starting to look for traces of traps or magic arrays.

He felt he had been tricked; even if it wasn't someone else's trick, it had to be some other "god's" trick.

There must be something confusing his cognition, making him have this degree of hallucination, because players are players and cannot be anyone's slice, but the problem is, what is "its" purpose?

Cheng Shi thought while observing, and before long, he thought of the theme of this trial again:

Rebirth!

In this day, Cheng Shi always felt that rebirth corresponded to prisoners being acquitted or getting rid of cages, but now it seems that this "rebirth" seems to have other meanings...

Rebirth, rebirth, what exactly is rebirth?

The train of thought just advanced to here, and a chaotic and disorderly roar erupted in Cheng Shi's brain without warning.

Immediately after, everything in front of him... ruins, knights, light, himself... all retreated like a tide, and his vision instantly fell into endless darkness.

Just when Cheng Shi was unable to resist and felt terrified in his heart, a burst of urgent "beep beep beep—" alarm bells rang from the depths of his soul, and in an instant, countless memories surged like a tide, drowning him again.

The darkness before his eyes shattered like a spider web, and countless strands of bright light shone into his eyes.

Cheng Shi, like a drowning person grabbing a straw, struggled out from the drowning of the sea of memories... and woke up!

Yes, he woke up, woke up in a bright room, woke up on an operating table tightly bound.

Around him were sharp and harsh sirens, as well as a warning from a mechanical voice without emotion:

"Beep beep beep—experimental subject woke up early, slicing failed! Beep beep beep—experimental subject woke up early, slicing failed!"

!!!

???

What is this sound!?

Listening to this inexplicable sound, Cheng Shi opened his eyes suddenly, but as soon as he opened them, he saw a familiar figure holding a familiar short knife turning around from another operating table in front of him.

He recognized who this person was, and then a chill rushed from his tailbone to his crown!

Serius!

This scholar of the life extension system was examining Cheng Shi with great interest at this time, seemingly having discovered something fresh and interesting.

"I am very surprised; for so many years, you are the first experimental subject to wake up early. Let me see what changes have occurred in your body?"

Saying that, Serius walked over slowly holding the Concentric Dagger.

He didn't pay attention to Cheng Shi's shocked and confused expression, constantly operating on the screen beside the bed, browsing the experimental results while making tsk-tsk sounds of emotion:

"Interesting, in the 19 hours after the personality slice was born, the main personality successfully killed all the slice personalities. Such a fast self-repair speed can only explain one thing, which is that you are extremely affirmative of your own existence.

But what is strange is...

Such a strong self-recognition degree actually failed to derive 'common recognition' among the slice personalities... Why is this?

Where did the experimental data go wrong?

Hmm... the data seems correct.

It seems that because the self-recognition degree of the slices is also too high, it led to the failure of 'common recognition.'

Too interesting, it turns out that when the self-recognition degree is too strong, such problems will also occur. This is a new research direction. Hmm, must write it down; must add this clause when accepting experimental subjects in the future.

No. 1172, I am becoming more and more curious now, what exactly did you experience before going to prison?"

What did I experience?

I also want to know what I experienced!

But not before going to prison, but just now!

Cheng Shi narrowed his eyes and looked at the scholar fiddling with the screen, his voice like a biting cold wind.

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation? Mr. Serius." ===== CHAPTER 237 =====
