Chapter 295: The Mediocre Society, No. 15

The Mediocre Society, No. 15

Cheng Shi felt a bit embarrassed by the stare. He retreated a few steps, waiting for the Puppet Master to separate the divinity.

But when he saw the large amount of 【Prosperity】 divinity stripped from the Zuo Qiu puppet's body, even though he was mentally prepared, he didn't expect there to be so much of it.

It was almost no less than the portion of 【Prosperity】 divinity that Su Yi Da had brought back!

But one must know that Su Yi Da came from the future; just because he could find it doesn't mean people of the present can!

Thinking of this, *hiss*—this Puppet Master has a background.

So, did she also strive to audience with 【Prosperity】 in the past?

You strive so hard to see other 【Thems】, can your 【Silence】 Benefactor agree to that?

You don't think that just because He doesn't speak, it's tacit approval, little sister?

Cheng Shi was a bit stunned.

Taking out so much divinity in a not-so-spacious space would cause anomalies. Soon, the entire main house became lush due to the nourishment of this divinity.

The Fungus-Foot people outside saw the changes in the main house and became even more devout. Look, this is His divine messenger; even discussing matters is so... prosperous!

Hong Lin, while skillfully sealing this divinity into her body, looked at Cheng Shi and teased:

"I heard some people say I like to use teammates for sealing experiments. Aren't you afraid I'll use you for an experiment now?"

"..."

Tao Yi, that big mouth!

I finally understand; this world is just one giant mouth!

Everyone is a big mouth!

Cheng Shi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and laughed dryly: "We're all teammates, how could that be? Hurry, hurry, we have to set off after we're done. After sending this Puppet Master away, there will only be the two of us left, Baldy. To win the trial, the road is long and difficult."

"Tch, changing the subject."

Hong Lin sneered twice and accelerated the speed of sealing.

Cheng Shi wasn't idle standing on the side. While observing the Chosen's method of sealing divinity, he was silently hypnotizing himself.

Yes, hypnosis!

He was repairing the trap that Jiang Wumie had triggered!

When the Dream-Peering Ranger walked into his dream, the backup plan Cheng Shi had left for himself was triggered.

This was a trap he had specially prepared for 【Memory】 hunters, and the key to triggering this trap was:

Dreams!

Cheng Shi never dreams!

When he first tampered with his memories and performed hypnosis surgery on himself, he left many backups, one of which was to hypnotize himself to never dream.

So when he woke up and found that he had a dream last night, he knew that an uninvited guest had come into his dream.

So early the next morning, Cheng Shi had already determined Jiang Wumie's identity, but when facing the message passed by Zuo Qiu, which was the Puppet Master, he pretended to know nothing, all to let the Dream-Peering Ranger break into his dream again on the second night, and then...

Go see that old man he hadn't seen in a long time.

Longing is like this; wanting to see but being unable to is the most agonizing thing.

When falling asleep on the second night, Cheng Shi hypnotized himself a little before sleeping. This was a necessary step for setting up the trap. Thanks to the fact that this was his own dream, under the perspective of a creator, it wasn't too difficult to add a passerby with no presence to this dream through hypnosis.

So in this dream full of memories, there were actually two uninvited guests: one was the Ranger peering into others' dreams, and the other was the "victim" himself who was being peered at.

And then, the victim killed the Ranger in self-defense; the process won't be repeated here.

So when Cheng Shi fulfilled his small wish, and when the Dream-Peering Ranger died after peering into the dream, he had to hypnotize himself again to fill in these backups one by one.

Originally, this should have been done from the beginning, but strange things kept happening one after another today, and he never found the opportunity until now, when he silently began the surgery.

And when he finished operating everything, Hong Lin on the other side also finished her sealing work.

"One more thing, I killed the Ranger, so the spoils on him should naturally belong to me." Cheng Shi chuckled and looked at the Puppet Master again.

The Puppet Master frowned: "You should know that after a player dies, the personal space will be sealed by the game..."

"I know that, of course, but I'm talking about the spoils he kept on his person."

"..." The Puppet Master was silent for a moment, then controlled Zuo Qiu to speak: "When did you see it?"

As she spoke, she even drove the Ranger to take out a golden card from his pocket.

Sure enough!

There was something in the Ranger's pocket!

Cheng Shi actually didn't know what was on the Ranger at all, but he could guess it through the Puppet Master's behavior.

Because according to her statement, if the Puppet Master only refined the Ranger into a puppet to increase combat strength for the journey of exploring the Sighing Forest, she had absolutely no need to make the "refining" process so rushed.

The moment Cheng Shi opened his eyes, the Puppet Master controlled the Ranger to leave his original position and stand by her side. This abnormal move didn't look like declaring ownership of the corpse, but more like covering something up.

Perhaps she discovered that the Ranger was hiding something good?

So Cheng Shi tried a small move, and he didn't expect to really test it out.

"What is this?"

Hong Lin raised an eyebrow and took the card from Cheng Shi.

This was a pure gold card, shining brightly on the front with no patterns at all, and on the back, there were only three small black characters and a serial number in the bottom right corner.

It was written:

The Mediocre Society, No. 15.

"The Mediocre Society?

What kind of evil organization is this again?"

Hong Lin frowned, looked at it repeatedly for a moment to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the card, and then threw it directly to Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi only glanced at it and put it into his space calmly. He didn't know what this card was for, but now was clearly not the time to study it.

But his smooth action seemed to be telling the other two at the scene that he knew the card's function.

The Puppet Master was silent for a while and reminded:

"This is the stage for the mediocre; it doesn't suit you."

Cheng Shi smiled: "I am a mediocre person, a big mediocre person. Alright, enough time has been wasted, let's go.

Oh, by the way, you controlled Zuo Qiu to go out every night; what did you discover?"

The Puppet Master paused slightly and didn't hide it. The Zuo Qiu puppet replied truthfully: "There are some items from the surface in the tribe, which look like things from the Tower of Rationality. They are very old, and I can't tell what they are. I have some transactions with people from the School of History, and I want to pick up some to take back."

Tower of Rationality?

Scholars who accidentally broke into the forest?

Cheng Shi said "Mm" thoughtfully: "I hope you can still come out alive to continue your transactions."

After speaking, he and Hong Lin looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and walked out one after another, pushing open the big door.

The Fungus-Foot people had long been impatient, and Amir was even more excited and at a loss.

Hong Lin took out the Wilderness Lamp, led everyone to the altar, and opened the fog door again. Cheng Shi tilted his head to signal the Puppet Master to go first, and her departure marked the end of her trial path.

"Since you want to go deep into the forest, you should have some means. We won't worry about the spatial subsidence in this fog door. You go; good luck."

The Puppet Master nodded expressionlessly and drove the three puppets to step in one by one.

After she had been gone for a while, Cheng Shi picked up Amir and followed Hong Lin into it.

As soon as he entered the door, he knocked out the excited Amir and said to Hong Lin with a frown:

"The Puppet Master is not simple; she seems to want us to..."

"Awaken the 【Prosperity】 soul of Erpuska?"

Cheng Shi was stunned: "You saw it?"

Hong Lin spat in annoyance: "I'm just not that smart, but I'm not stupid."

"..."

Although that's true, I want to say that people with self-awareness are already very smart...

But Cheng Shi didn't dare to say this. He nodded and said while thinking:

"This member of the God-Worshiping Society who likes to trade clearly wants us to use this 【Prosperity】 divinity to contact Erpuska. It covets 【Prosperity】, so it likely won't refuse. But the problem is, she's going deep into the forest; why is she still thinking about this trial?

Helping?

Helping whom?

Baldy, you wouldn't happen to know her and be teaming up to act against me, would you?"

Hong Lin glanced at Cheng Shi with a disgusted expression and sneered: "I was just wondering if you two were teaming up to act against me. You two wouldn't be trying to get me to feed Erpuska, would you?"

"..." Cheng Shi was dumbfounded. "Too far, big sister, your imagination is a bit too rich."

"Is it?" Hong Lin looked at Cheng Shi for a moment and suddenly stopped. "Take out that tongue of yours."

Cheng Shi was stunned.

"?"

Baldy, what are you trying to do? Truth or dare?

Here? In the spatial passage!?

Are you kidding?" ===== CHAPTER 296 =====
