Chapter 246

Trial cleared, reborn!

At this point, how could everyone not see that this terrifying high-score teammate had clearly woken up early and set up a trap in this laboratory!

God damn "lively with more people," it was all fake!

They only felt lucky now that this person wasn't completely evil, at least he hadn't killed all his teammates while waiting for other experiments, but this compensation......

Must be paid, had to be paid!

The wailing Vanguard Warrior was the best proof; not paying would cost lives.

Huajiao's expression changed repeatedly, and with a dark face, he took out a page from his portable space and placed it at his feet.

"One piece of paper, I'm afraid that's not enough, right?"

Hearing Cheng Shi's playful teasing, the historian shivered and took out a pile of bottles and jars again.

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow and saw quite a few good things.

"Alright, get lost."

Huajiao began to retreat cautiously and then disappeared from the door at high speed.

Seeing this, the others put down their compensation one after another with strange expressions and left the laboratory. Only the surgeon, after giving Song Yi a life-sustaining healing spell, smiled at Cheng Shi and said:

"I know you are not a bad person.

I have seen many robberies, but your novel way of robbing is indeed rare.

Don't frown, I'm not stalling for time. I will leave my compensation, and I can even help Song Yi pay his.

But besides that, I have one small request."

Cheng Shi tilted his chin, signaling him to continue.

"That concentric dagger...... the one used to save them, I saw you take it back."

You have sharp eyes too, Doctor, but that was mine to begin with. Cheng Shi curled his lips, noncommittal.

"What, you want it?"

"Yes, I want to trade something for it."

"This concentric dagger is very valuable; there is only one."

"No, there are two in this laboratory: one is Selius', and one is the sliced Selius'."

"......"

Damn, I'm too used to killing acquaintances; I forgot they also explored here during the deduction.

"Ahem, this concentric dagger is very valuable; there are only two."

"......" Li Zhi was dumbfounded; he rarely saw such a shameless trading partner. "I only need one, the one in the hands of the Selius slice. I can use it to trade with you. I think the value of this item is enough to match your asking price."

After saying this, he placed a leaf shimmering with emerald light on the ground at his feet.

Cheng Shi glanced at it, and his heart skipped a beat; he seemed to have guessed what it was.

Li Zhi was very observant and smiled:

"Guessed it, right? That's right, this is indeed a 'Prosperity Vein,' but it didn't come from the fantasy trial just now; it was something I obtained earlier. This item can be considered the top-tier existence among A-grade items. It can be smelted into your equipment to make it more resilient.

You are a warrior; you will definitely use it. No warrior can refuse it. Besides, one concentric dagger is enough for you."

Cheng Shi frowned and asked in confusion, "Why must it be the one from the slice?"

"Some personal collection reasons; it won't affect you. You should be able to see that I'm not lying."

I can't see it, but I can guess it.

Li Zhi indeed didn't seem to be lying, and Cheng Shi was indeed very interested in that "Prosperity Vein."

After weighing it for a moment, he nodded and threw the concentric dagger from the sliced Selius' hand to Li Zhi.

He didn't need to make this trade; the surgeon couldn't possibly beat him, but Cheng Shi appreciated this kind, orderly, and emotionally stable pastor peer. He was willing to make this trade with a "not-so-perfect good person."

Li Zhi was overjoyed, as if he had obtained a treasure, but when he got it in his hands and looked at the bloodstains on the dagger, he was suddenly stunned.

"Isn't this the one that saved people just now?"

Cheng Shi nodded and affirmed, "That's right, it's this one."

"You......" Li Zhi's expression was stunned, and he froze.

"?" Cheng Shi frowned and narrowed his eyes.

"No matter, it's all in the past.

Everyone has their own fate.

You don't seem to be lying to me. Fine, the trade is complete. As for the compensation for me and this Song Yi, I think these potions are enough to repay it."

Saying this, Li Zhi dropped many potions on the ground, and after doing these things, he quietly pulled the dying Vanguard Warrior away.

You're actually a pretty good guy.

Cheng Shi looked at the compensation all over the floor and pouted as he collected it.

A rough count showed it was just over a hundred bottles of various potions, plus a dozen strange, high-grade items.

Tsk, lost a fortune.

After all that, I still got involved with Galiusha.

I can only hope she didn't notice me.

Damn, I see it now; fate is indeed a...... uh...... is a, is a good benefactor.

Cheng Shi's face was full of embarrassment, and at the same time, his vision went black.

【Trial cleared, about to exit】

The moment everyone disappeared, Melina pushed open the door to the experimental workshop with a solemn expression.

She had heard Galiusha's cry and came in to look for her, but before she could find Galiusha, she discovered this room full of...... mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"This is......

Oh no, Galiusha!"

Melina instantly disappeared from where she was and appeared in front of the slice laboratory door. She shouted Galiusha's name, but the little girl lying on the ground with eyes devoid of color could no longer respond to her.

"How could this happen...... how could this happen......"

Melina collapsed to her knees as if struck by lightning, blankly picking up Galiusha's corpse, and was stunned to find that she, who came from the Tower of Reason, had actually shed a tear for this little girl from the Grand Tribunal.

The crystal tear slid across her cheek and happened to fall into Galiusha's eyes, but this ripple could no longer wake the long-dead lake.

"I...... you...... Galiusha...... rest in peace......"

"Boom——"

Melina left.

When she learned that Selius was dead, she had the intention to leave, and coupled with Galiusha's death, she no longer had any reason to stay in Montelani.

It was time to go home, back to that place where 【Truth】 flowed freely.

So she set fire to that laboratory, set fire to all those experimental subjects who had watched Galiusha die while trembling and indifferent, using a fire that burned in disorder to give this little girl her final send-off.

Goodbye, Galiusha.

Never see you again, Montelani.

Montelani Justice Court.

In the dark wall partition of a suite, in an old experimental device, a little girl curled into a ball suddenly opened a pair of scarlet eyes.

Seeing the little girl wake up in confusion, a serious and cold voice slowly sounded in this narrow space:

"It seems 【Truth】 is not entirely useless.

Welcome home, little Galiusha."
