Chapter 358

The unexpected arrived—where did the Holy Infant go?

(6000 today!)

The fact that the Evil Infant Tribunal was a shell organization originally led the players' exploration into a dead end, but unexpectedly, due to Tulading's appearance and Cheng Shi's swindling, the trial took a turn for the better.

Now it's fine; there's no need to go back overnight to move those evil infant files, and no need to worry about whether the evil infant history he made up on the spot was correct. After all, even the tribunal was fake, and Duorge never had any "legal" evil infants.

Cheng Shi breathed a heavy sigh of relief in his heart. He looked at the squinty-eyed man to the side, and the two exchanged a tacit glance, neither mentioning the fact that Gou Feng might still be hanging from the ceiling on the second floor of the tribunal.

Neither of the two moderates wanted to go back to take risks, nor did they want to investigate the origins of the Three Crow Tribes and Duorge; they just wanted to clear the trial quickly and end their respective missions.

Tulading left in excitement to look through the gestation records in the sect leader's room. He told the players that he would definitely be able to steal the list before midnight tonight, so he asked them to stay put and wait until the list was obtained before doing anything.

Cheng Shi watched Tulading leave, smacked his lips, and said to the others:

"I suggest that everyone had better change their attire to conceal their identities. Although I think this son of the sect leader truly has the talent to be a 【Filth and Depravity】 believer, no one can say for sure what means the Divine Education has to counter him, so for the sake of caution, it's better to disguise ourselves.

It won't be too late for us to reappear once he has actually obtained the list without being discovered.

Don't forget, there is still an 【Annihilation】 warrior hunting outside; changing our image might also be safer."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this, agreeing to find rooms in the church to change their images, and then gather in the small courtyard outside the church lounge.

The few people rarely separated for a while. Scorpio disappeared into the shadows, Gao Ya cautiously blended into the church crowd, and Zhang Jizu remained motionless, never having thought of leaving Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi said with some helplessness: "Brother, have you taken a liking to me?"

Zhang Jizu shook his head with a laugh: "You sent them away—where are you planning to go?"

"You saw through that too?"

"Your goal is too obvious, and you didn't cover it up; everyone can see it.

Otherwise, Scorpio and Gao Ya wouldn't have left here at this time. You hold the power of speech in the team, which is why they cooperated by leaving you some personal time."

"They're all sharp people." Cheng Shi sighed as he started walking, and the direction he was heading was exactly the direction Tulading had left in. "Tulading's appearance is a bit too coincidental. Why does the mole found in the church happen to know so many things? Aren't you curious?"

Zhang Jizu's eyes narrowed slightly, somewhat surprised.

"But this is the target you chose yourself. I followed you and saw with my own eyes that you hesitated for a long time among several targets before choosing him.

So why do you feel there is a problem with him?"

"Why? I don't know why either." Cheng Shi laughed at himself. He couldn't say that he had been cheated so many times that he had developed a stress reaction, and every coincidence looked like a scam.

"What I can be sure of is that choosing him as a breakthrough point was based on my own observation, but I cannot be sure who let him walk into my line of sight.

Speaking of which, this also has to do with the purpose of my prayer. I must know what He wants me to know."

Zhang Jizu's pupils shrank, and he asked in a low voice: "What exactly did you pray for?"

Cheng Shi replied as he walked: "I prayed for a trial to have an audience with the Lord, but ended up being placed in 【Birth】's game."

"You want an audience with 【Fraud】?"

"What does this have to do with the God of Fun? I am a wood elf, so my Lord is 【Prosperity】, big brother."

Ah, yes, yes, yes, your Lord is 【Prosperity】...

Zhang Jizu had nothing to say. He thought that if 【Prosperity】 had a believer like you who spouted nonsense, He would probably be angered to death.

However, why did 【Birth】 intercept 【Fraud】's trial?

Does He really want to tell Cheng Shi something through the trial?

But wouldn't it be better to summon him directly?

Why have 【They】 all become so cryptic now? 【Fraud】 wants to protect His believer but refuses to take action personally, 【Birth】 has something to say but won't summon him directly...

What is wrong with Them?

Could it be that some change has occurred that he doesn't know about?

Zhang Jizu followed behind Cheng Shi with a deep frown. Seeing him bypass the front hall and start climbing the wall toward the higher sect leader's room, he realized what he was going to do.

"You are planning to keep an eye on Tulading to ensure he gets that list without any mistakes?"

"Not exactly. I always feel that people who walk into my line of sight as inexplicably as he did will appear around him, so I plan to go see if there is only one mole like him."

"......" What a unique reason.

But Zhang Jizu didn't say a word and followed him anyway, looking exactly like a professional bodyguard whose employer is courting death but who can do nothing about it.

The two stuck to the outer wall of the highest building in the church compound like geckos, moving upward inch by inch, and soon arrived under the window balcony of the sect leader's room.

They hung under the balcony, slightly exposing their heads, carefully observing the movement inside the room. At this time, only Tulading was in the sect leader's room.

He undoubtedly understood his father and knew that the sect leader would definitely not be here at this time, which was why he had rushed over so anxiously.

He saw him skillfully take out a key from the top of a cabinet, then open the drawer under the sect leader's desk, pull out stacks of documents, count to a certain page of the files with extreme proficiency, and pull out one of the pages.

Cheng Shi saw this scene and sighed with a strange expression:

"He really hasn't come here few times."

The squinty-eyed man gave a light "Hmm": "No one knows a father like his son."

Just as the two thought things were going smoothly and Tulading was about to stuff the list into his bosom and prepare to leave, a new accident occurred on the scene.

They saw Tulading clutching the birth list tightly, his arm trembling slightly, his gaze sweeping over the page again and again, his expression becoming blank and incredulous.

"That's not right. How can this be?

Where is the Holy Infant of 【Filth and Depravity】? Why are there no citizens waiting to give birth recently?

Could it be that what they said was all fake?

No, no, they clearly don't worship 【Birth】; what they said should be true, but where did the Holy Infant go?"

Tulading panicked. He frantically flipped through other documents, wanting to find a piece of paper with the "Holy Infant's name" written on it, but obviously, if it wasn't there, it wasn't there. No matter how carefully he searched, he couldn't find a second list related to birth.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of Cheng Shi and Zhang Jizu sank.

Sure enough, this trial was not that simple. Duorge had no officially recorded citizens about to give birth in the near future.

And this also meant that they couldn't possibly find that so-called life that shouldn't have been born through such means.

"I knew it. Matching with people like you, it's impossible to complete the mission easily.

No wonder He gave 7 days. Looking at it this way, there's no chance for a speedrun."

"......"
