Chapter 365: That fire burning in the night

That fire burning in the night

On the other side.

Time backtracks slightly, coming to when Zhang Jizu left Cheng Shi.

This pragmatic 【Death】 God-Chosen returned along the route of the day to the Evil Infant Tribunal as soon as he left the church.

As for why he didn't take a shortcut, naturally it was because... he was steady.

He had walked this road twice, was familiar with the terrain, and understood the surrounding environment. Walking at night on a familiar road gives people a sense of security.

Of course, the only danger in Doer Gede under the night curtain would soon confront Cheng Shi and the three, so for him, there were no twists and turns along the way.

He quickly arrived at the Tribunal and jumped into the courtyard, looking at the pitch-black inner hall.

Cheng Shi had entrusted him to find Gou Feng, and according to their deduction, the Chief had likely hung himself on the ceiling of the second floor to escape the pursuit.

Zhang Jizu frowned slightly, substituting himself to think: if he were to avoid the Cleaner's hunt, then in a situation where he couldn't confirm that the surroundings were absolutely safe, he certainly wouldn't leave.

But how can one confirm whether a completely imperceptible enemy is still waiting in the dark?

The answer is that it cannot be confirmed. Since it cannot be confirmed, the most stable method is to lengthen the hiding time. It's even possible to hide among the dead infants until the trial ends if there are no other risks.

Therefore, Zhang Jizu speculated that the Chief should still be hanging on the second floor, hanging among those rows of hanging dead infants.

But the problem is, which one is him?

This seemingly regular arrangement clearly had meaning, and having meaning also meant having risks. Although Zhang Jizu was confident that he wouldn't die in the trial, he wouldn't be arrogant enough to bear risks in vain.

Just like now, he stood in the courtyard that still had moonlight, having no intention of entering the dark inner hall at all.

He even stood in a place with an open view and escape routes everywhere while thinking.

After deep thought, Zhang Jizu thought of a method, and it was a 100% steady method.

That is to set a fire!

He was prepared to burn this Evil Infant Tribunal to the ground!

When this almost abandoned building was completely turned into ruins, and when those "air-dried bacon" were all burned to ashes, he could slowly look for traces of the Chief in the ruins, and then try...

Resurrect him.

In this way, not only did he avoid all possibilities of conflict with the Uma Sinners, but he could also burn all the conspiracies and traps that might be hidden on the second floor, with almost no risk.

And resurrecting a teammate was not difficult for a top-tier priest who worshipped 【Death】. The only difficulty in this plan was probably how to dig Gou Feng's remains out of the ruins after the big fire.

However, for Zhang Jizu, this wasn't a difficulty either, because he was good at observing; as long as there was enough time, he could always piece people together.

In addition, the most important point that made him make this decision was that when he separated from Cheng Shi, he vaguely guessed Cheng Shi's train of thought, feeling that the other party's actions would still revolve around that Holy Infant.

As long as his guess wasn't wrong, then burning the Evil Infant Tribunal to the ground would undoubtedly also be helping Cheng Shi create momentum, so after thinking about it, this method was very steady.

Thus, do it!

The Gravekeeper looked around, took action, and threw all the weeds and broken branches in the courtyard into the hall, until the flammable dry wood was piled up to the window of the second floor, before he took two buckets of... gasoline out of his portable space.

Gasoline is flammable; this is very reasonable.

And then, with everything ready, only a spark was missing.

Zhang Jizu took out a match and swiped it across the side of his heel. Suddenly, before the sparks could illuminate his steady eyes, he threw it into the dry wood.

Immediately after...

With a "Boom," the raging fire ignited, and this Evil Infant Tribunal that had stood for hundreds of years fell into a sea of blazing fire without warning.

Just at this time, the confrontation in the church had passed, Gao Ya covered her head and began to spread rumors of Tu Lading's disappearance among the church crowd. Everyone was initially half-believing, but after the news of the "fire from heaven" at the Evil Infant Tribunal came from outside, the church staff who hadn't slept were completely boiling.

Panic and anxiety instantly began to spread in the crowd.

Gao Ya left the crowd and hid in a dressing room, looking from afar through the window at the fire burning at the Evil Infant Tribunal, feeling moved in her heart.

There is no false reputation under a great name; this Fate Weaver is indeed powerful.

Every one of his ideas is so unorthodox, yet he can always grasp the lifeline of the situation, exerting the greatest effect at the precise timing. Even if changes occur during the process, he can immediately follow up with the next method. This dazzling problem-solving train of thought makes it hard to imagine where those wild ideas in his brain come from.

To be honest, compared to a priest who weaves fate, he is more like a screenwriter who writes details and connects coincidences!

Is he really, as rumored, a Fate Weaver?

On the other side.

Cheng Shi swapped positions with the dice in his hand, but he didn't go to find Zhang Jizu who was setting fire at the Tribunal, but came to Mo Shu's eyes!

Yes, he went to chase that 【Annihilation】 God-Chosen!

And the dice that made him appear beside Mo Shu wasn't something he secretly stuffed on the other party when he attacked him just now, but something he secretly stuffed into Tu Lading's pocket when covering Tu Lading's departure.

So the current situation is: Cheng Shi used the dice on Tu Lading to appear beside Mo Shu again!

As for why...

Saving Tu Lading was secondary. The most important thing was that this greedy clown had taken a fancy to the 【Deception】 grant in Mo Shu's hand—the Clown Avatar. Regardless of whether this was the God of Fun's purpose in sending him to this trial, he felt this item was very suitable for him, so he chased after him without stopping for a moment, preparing to trade it from the Cleaner's hand!

Of course, if the other party refused to trade, it wouldn't be impossible to trick it over.

But if you can't even trick it over, then don't blame me, kid...

Save the person first, then go back and discuss with Zhang Steady to plot other strategies!

Just kidding, the other party is a God-Chosen. Although Cheng Shi was confident, he wasn't arrogant enough to directly kill a God-Chosen, not to mention he was just a Fate Weaver now, a very ordinary Fate Weaver.

Actually, before coming, Cheng Shi was most afraid that Mo Shu had exiled Tu Lading to some world about to be 【Annihilated】. In that case, his dice transfer technique would probably fail, but he still chose to take a gamble.

Obviously, he won the gamble again.

Mo Shu didn't do that, and didn't even go far. He just knocked Tu Lading unconscious and then brought him to a residential house not far from the church.

There was no furniture in this residential house. From the outside, it seemed to be an ordinary building, but only after pushing the door and walking in would one find that except for a few gray-white walls, the house was already empty.

Cheng Shi suddenly appearing beside him indeed gave Mo Shu a big shock, but he wasn't overly panicked, and didn't even retreat, but stomped and rose at the first opportunity, violently throwing a straight punch at Tu Lading beside him.

During the charge, he caught a glimpse of the fanatical look in Cheng Shi's eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought that he had underestimated the character of this Fate Weaver. Although he wasn't among the top-tier players, his crazy appearance was not much different from those people.

As for why he said that, naturally it was because this Fate Weaver had actually moved half a body to block in front of Tu Lading for the sake of the NPC beside him.

That straight punch carrying infinite 【Annihilation】 power slammed directly into Cheng Shi's shoulder socket, blasting Cheng Shi out together with the unconscious Tu Lading.
