Tian Xie, Who Escaped a Calamity

It was still Cheng Shi leading the way. The two walked down one after another, full of caution.

Just after passing half of the spiral staircase, they saw a blood-covered figure knock over a file rack and struggle powerlessly on the ground.

The two's gazes fixed, recognizing who this injured person was.

Tian Xie, that assassin of another day!

And they also guessed who hurt him, because the little assassin's body was almost covered in residual 【Annihilation】 power.

But even though there was a dying, seriously injured person downstairs, Cheng Shi didn't rush down immediately, but paid attention to the surroundings while walking. Zhang Jizu followed behind him, raised his hand slightly, and threw a healing spell first to hang the little assassin's life.

After the two confirmed there was no danger around, they slowly approached Tian Xie and helped up this poor teammate, whose right shoulder was pierced and whose flesh and blood were festering.

Tian Xie's face was extremely pale. He looked at the two teammates who saved him, and a grateful light flashed in his eyes, but he opened his mouth for a long time without being able to make a sound.

Seeing this, Zhang Jizu raised his hand again and threw a purification spell. The light of this purification spell was somewhat different from ordinary purification spells, but Cheng Shi didn't recognize what talent this was for a while.

He could only see that this purification spell was very effective, because the moment the light dissipated, Tian Xie immediately shouted:

"Be careful of Mo Shu! He has a problem!"

Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows. Although his face was facing Tian Xie, his eyes were always spinning around.

"Why did he attack you?"

"Don't know."

"?"

The two looked at Tian Xie in astonishment, and saw him continue with a gloomy face:

"I really don't know.

I was the first to step into the courtyard of this court, waiting for you in the shadow of the courtyard wall. The chieftain landed beside me, and we looked at each other, vigilant of the surroundings.

Mo Shu appeared beside us immediately after. He first approached us without any abnormality, then suddenly attacked without any reason, piercing my right shoulder with a punch!"

Cheng Shi frowned upon hearing this, somewhat unable to understand.

Reasonably speaking, assassins have always been the most alert profession, especially since this was the first day of the trial, and the few had just met. How could Tian Xie not be on guard against his own back?

Tian Xie clearly saw Cheng Shi's confusion, and his face became even more livid:

"He is very strong, far stronger than I expected.

To say something unpleasant, before being saved by the two, I didn't trust anyone in this trial. I am an assassin living in the corner of 【Time】, and it's hard to trust others, so I have always been on guard against everyone."

Cheng Shi looked at Tian Xie with a half-smile: "Even now?"

Tian Xie's tone stalled, and he nodded stiffly: "Yes, even now."

In fact, Cheng Shi and Zhang Jizu had long seen that Tian Xie was on guard. His right shoulder was clearly injured like this, but his left hand was always behind his back, being pulled up by the two in an awkward posture.

He was defending against the two, but he should have been defending. After all, not long ago, he had his shoulder bone annihilated by a pastry chef who looked harmless.

"Don't waste time, continue, say it quickly."

Zhang Jizu was a very pragmatic person. While treating Tian Xie, he urged him to explain the whole story clearly.

"That's why I said Mo Shu is a very strong person. I have never encountered a scavenger in this segment who can annihilate his own killing intent.

Most of the 【Annihilation】 believers I've encountered have very strong 【Annihilation】 means, but due to my personal talent, I can feel their desire for destruction and ruin, so I can cautiously avoid them.

But this person is different. He clearly has all the aura of a living person, but he is the only one missing that desire for destruction, so when I sensed his 'no malice' approach, I didn't think much.

But I didn't expect......"

"But you didn't expect him to suddenly attack you and Gou Feng. You were suddenly injured and escaped into the future of the deduction, while Gou Feng was chased and fled into the inner hall."

The subsequent process wasn't hard to guess through the scene, so Tian Xie nodded, confirming Cheng Shi's speculation.

"This is my automatic defense mechanism. You should know that an assassin of another day only has one chance to escape into deduction per day. As an assassin, unless there is a target that must be killed, I will definitely save this chance for the last moment to protect myself in case of emergency.

But I didn't expect that today's 'in case' would appear so suddenly."

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"So, you have no backhand now?"

Tian Xie was startled, then retreated half a step in fright. Even Zhang Jizu looked at Cheng Shi in astonishment, thinking he had some intention of killing and looting.

But who knew that after Cheng Shi finished this sentence, he smiled cheaply, spread his hands, and pretended nothing happened:

"Adjusting the atmosphere, don't be nervous."

"......"

Tian Xie almost cried. Where is this adjusting the atmosphere? I wasn't nervous at all originally, and now my legs are soft.

"Since you deduced the future here, tell me, what did you see?"

Tian Xie sized up Cheng Shi for a long time, his footsteps moved slightly closer to Zhang Jizu, then shook his head:

"I didn't see anything. The 【Annihilation】 power in Mo Shu's attack was too terrifying. I used every means to resist the damage, experienced thirty-one deductions, and only barely resisted the 【Annihilation】 power eroding my whole body in the last one, survived, and overwrote this deduction to the present.

During this period, I couldn't pay attention to what was around me at all, but I can be sure that there must be no one here, at least no one on the first floor.

Because if there was an outsider present, maybe I would have died in the deduction and couldn't come back."

"This is strange." Cheng Shi's frown deepened. He looked at the squinty-eyed man and asked puzzledly, "Why didn't he attack the two of us?"

Zhang Jizu was clearly thinking about this question too.

At the time node when they separated and entered the courtyard, Mo Shu happened to be the third to act. If he wanted to annihilate his teammates to offer to his Benefactor, he could have completely chosen the priest and mage outside the wall, rather than choosing the warrior and assassin inside the wall.

After all, the professions outside looked far easier to deal with than those inside, not to mention Zhang Jizu was his opponent in faith.

Thinking about it this way, he should have attacked Cheng Shi and Zhang Jizu first.

Even if the Gravekeeper could hang a person's life, as Tian Xie said, if Mo Shu hid his strength, he could have completely banished the two to the world of 【Annihilation】, waiting for the two to fend for themselves there, exhausting their last drop of mental power and dying.

But he didn't.

What's even stranger is that he didn't lie when he introduced himself. The Trickster Master didn't tell Cheng Shi that he hid his score or identity.

Thinking about it this way, this person is either a high-scoring 【Annihilation】 warrior with means to evade the Trickster Master, or a 【Deception】 or 【Chaos】 believer with powerful 【Annihilation】 means.

Cheng Shi was more inclined to the former, because people who disguise as scavengers usually intentionally radiate some desire for destruction, only then will they not arouse others' suspicion.

People like Mo Shu who come up and engage in faith contrast are easily targeted by others. This doesn't look like a liar's routine.

High score... 【Annihilation】... warrior...

Cheng Shi frowned and looked at Zhang Jizu:

"That sanitation worker, you should know him, right?"

The squinty-eyed man was taken aback, then narrowed his eyes and nodded:

"You suspect it's him? It's not impossible. He should have this ability."

Cheng Shi was also taken aback upon hearing this: "What do you mean it's not impossible? If you know him, can't you recognize him?"

"So-called knowing is just knowing that such a person exists.

He is very mysterious. I think you should know, his ID is 'Thorough Deletion'.

I only know he is a scavenger. As for what he is called, what he looks like, not to mention I don't know, others might not have an impression. Among them, probably only Li Jingming knows, after all, he 【Memory】 everything."

"?"

Wait, wait, Dragon King is now our 【Deception】 Chosen. You saying that is somewhat disrespectful to the God of Fun.

Cheng Shi just slandered but wasn't very surprised, but this name sounded too terrifying in Tian Xie's ears.

What? Who? Li Jingming?

Isn't that the former 【Memory】 Chosen, now the 【Deception】 Chosen?

How did it suddenly come to him?

He blinked in bewilderment, unsure: "You, just mentioned Li Jingming? Is that the Chosen who abandoned 【Memory】 for 【Deception】?"

Zhang Jizu nodded: "Yes, although he abandoned his oath, he is still practicing his path of memory."

"No, what does this have to do with Li Jingming?" Tian Xie was stunned.

Cheng Shi smiled and said: "I also want to know what this has to do with Li Jingming. Besides, as Chosen, haven't you matched with that sanitation worker?"

Zhang Jizu nodded, then shook his head:

"I did match with him, but I only remember that this person exists. Other memories are quite blurred, let alone his appearance and personality."

!!!

With just this sentence, Cheng Shi understood what the squinty-eyed man meant.

【Memory】!

This Chosen of 【Annihilation】 might have chosen 【Memory】 as his second faith!

Good, good, good, really awesome!

Bai Fei once said she walked on the path of 【Annihilation】, constantly giving away her memories to pursue rebirth in others' memories.

This 【Annihilation】 is the opposite, constantly annihilating others' memories of him, maintaining his mystery.

How did these two completely different ways of practice simultaneously gain His favor?

Could it be that this is another 【Prosperity】?

No, He wasn't still trying to steal a chicken when 【Truth】 besieged 【Prosperity】, right? But if they are very similar... born of the same root, why be so impatient to fry each other, brother.

While Cheng Shi was thinking about this, Tian Xie's brain was smoking.

Clearly, he had connected the four words "Chosen of the same" with the ID "Gravekeeper Management" of the 【Death】 Chosen, and the 【Life】 priest in front of him.

And when he figured everything out... his CPU exploded.

Zhang Jizu is the 【Death】 Chosen?

Mo Shu might be the 【Annihilation】 Chosen?

Ah?

Then what virtue or ability do I have to be hunted by the 【Annihilation】 Chosen first, and then saved by the 【Death】 Chosen?

Is a god fight something a 2100-point little assassin can participate in?

Thinking of this, Tian Xie swallowed a mouthful of saliva, straightened his body nervously, and looked at Cheng Shi.

Since these two are on the list, what about this one?

Who is he?

Believer of 【Prosperity】......

Could he be Baldy Using Pantene? ===== CHAPTER 352 =====
