Chapter 427: The venue's stage, collapsed!
The venue's stage, collapsed!
He was thinking.
Cheng Shi kept asking himself in his heart, if a scam really has a plot, then when should be the best time for the scammers to act?
This question might need pondering for others, but for Cheng Shi, who is also a scammer, it is simply a gift question.
The answer is at the climax of the scam, when everyone's attention is completely pulled away by other things, for example...
Right now!
President Gong didn't just share an explosive piece of news, but also threw a multiple-choice question that was extremely difficult to choose from to everyone present in a very short time.
Not to mention whether anyone truly believes him, I think anyone who has even a trace of doubt about his news would want to know where the space-time where President Gong spoke of 【Decay】's divine body fell is.
But wanting to continue listening, one has to join this so-called Mediocre Society.
Smart people only want to get benefits, not add burdens, so they struggle, and in this struggle, they often ignore some small tricks added by the scammers.
For example...
Grafting.
Yes, the door everyone came through was indeed safe, and now this door is exactly the same as the door they came through. If it weren't for seeing through that President Gong was a scammer in advance, Cheng Shi might not have thought much.
But the problem is right here: is the road behind this door really the road home?
After all, the experience of falling into Zhen Yi's void memory pocket is still vivid.
What's more, this so-called friend of President Gong has a high probability of being Zhen Xin or Zhen Yi, and it's even possible that President Gong is her herself!
So Cheng Shi stopped. He needed to observe. He wanted to decide whether he could leave through this door after others pushed it open and walked in.
But Cheng Shi being able to think of so much doesn't mean others can.
In the eyes of many, President Gong had already established a selfless image with considerable personal charisma. At least the many useful pieces of information he shared could be considered a true harvest for those who knew nothing about peak players.
So, quite a few smart people who could control their desires and a bunch of freeloaders who didn't want to take any risks prepared to leave.
This included the Fire Keepers who definitely wouldn't join other organizations.
After Cui Qiushi stood up, he didn't walk into the door immediately, but after observing Cheng Shi for a moment, he carefully moved to the nearby aisle and joined another player in a defensive posture.
Then the two exchanged glances, nodded in unison, and prepared to leave.
But just at this time, Cheng Shi moved. Before determining whether this door was safe or not, he couldn't watch Cui Lao's son take risks.
So his gaze sank, and the look he gave Cui Qiushi became sharp instantly. Without hesitation, he leaked three scalpels from his sleeves and threw them at the back of the other's head without saying a word!
He knew Cui Qiushi had been defending against himself, and he also knew that scalpels of this speed couldn't hit this alert Order Knight, but Cheng Shi's target wasn't Cui Qiushi at all, but the player Cui Qiushi wanted to cover!
That stranger Fire Keeper he didn't know!
Just seeing Cheng Shi throw the scalpels, he quickly took something out of his portable space and threw it at that stranger Fire Keeper with lightning speed.
That stranger Fire Keeper had been wary of Cheng Shi, who appeared abnormally, under Cui Qiushi's reminder. At this time, seeing him suddenly attack and attack two people at once, his eyes sank and he dodged to the side.
He didn't dare not dodge.
Cui Qiushi was facing three scalpels whose shape he could recognize, so he could naturally block them with the small shield in his hand, but he was different; he was facing a weird tongue!
What kind of normal person throws a tongue when starting a fight!?
No one knew what function this tongue had, so to be safe, it was best to avoid it far away and not let it touch the body.
But this avoidance made him move directly away from the door to leave the venue, and it was also because he dodged in time that the tongue Cheng Shi threw stuck to that gold and jade door without any accident!
The stranger Fire Keeper secretly said it was a close call, and then immediately took out a staff from his body. He was clearly a mage, but just as he was preparing to fight back against Cheng Shi, who had suddenly attacked, he suddenly heard the door to leave the venue beside him "clatter"...
Shattered!
Just by being licked by that weird tongue, the door that looked thick and solid with jade as a board actually shattered directly, like a mirror that had been hit hard by a hammer!
At the same time, the tongue stuck to the door also fell off and hit the ground. In the heavy gaze of the two, it twisted lazily twice, and finally let out a comfortable burp:
"Burp~ ate until full again!"
"!!!"
The stranger Fire Keeper and Cui Qiushi saw this scene, and their eyes condensed, their pupils shrank!
A talking tongue!!
So fucking weird!
But the weirdest thing wasn't the tongue, but the shattered door!
Because after the first door shattered, all the doors that appeared in the venue seemed to trigger a chain reaction, shattering one after another in front of everyone.
Quite a few players who had just stepped into it paused, and were repelled by an unknown force from an unknown space, and thrown directly to the ground.
Now, everyone was shocked.
Everyone was terrified, their expressions changed drastically. Seeing this scene, who didn't know that this door wasn't a door to "go home," nor a door to leave the venue, but a "deadly" door!
Someone had set a trap behind this door, sending all the players who stepped into it to an unknown space!
This door was completely fake!!
Seeing this scene, Cui Qiushi only felt a chill rushing from his tailbone to the top of his head. If it weren't for this strange person in front of him suddenly stopping him and his companion from entering, perhaps he would have already been trapped in prison by now.
He isn't an enemy!?
Cui Qiushi turned his head and looked at Cheng Shi with a solemn gaze, frowning tightly.
Who exactly is he?
And at this time, that stranger Fire Keeper also walked over. He was far more pragmatic than Cui Qiushi. Guessing that Cheng Shi's behavior wasn't an attack but help, he nodded to Cheng Shi with a grateful face.
"Thank you for saving my life, I am deeply grateful.
I am Zhang Hao, I don't know..."
But before he could finish, Cheng Shi quickly bent down to pick up the Lying Tongue on the ground, and then instantly disappeared from the two's eyes out of thin air.
He slipped away.
After helplessly poking through President Gong's conspiracy scam, he couldn't let himself be exposed to everyone's sight, so he used the dice he had thrown randomly in other places when entering the venue to transfer to a safe and unmanned position.
Just as he disappeared, a huge commotion broke out in the venue.
Indeed, some lucky ones escaped a disaster because of Cheng Shi's operation, but what about the group of players who walked in before?
What happened to them?
Dead, or captured?
Except for the person who set this trap, probably no one knows.
So the players, full of lingering fear, looked angrily at the stage, cursing, and some even started to act with dark faces, countless streams of light and arrows pouring down on the stage in the center of the venue like a downpour.
Under the bombardment of angry streams of light, the stage collapsed with a "boom," instantly rolling up a sky-high dust!
Cheng Shi's gaze condensed, looking at the field, and sneered.
Is this useful? Probably useless.
If an organizer with ulterior motives could die from this level of angry backlash, then today's gathering might truly be counted as a Mediocre Society.
However, to be fair, it's really ironic. The smart people who cautiously gave up joining the society and chose not to get involved in idle matters fell into the trap earlier than the "mediocre people" who stayed in place looking for opportunities. Doesn't this just show that the people present...
Are all mediocre people?
In Cheng Shi's view, simple stupidity might not count as a mediocre person, but not recognizing oneself is definitely on the road to becoming a mediocre person.
So the mediocre people who considered themselves smart were angry, and the result of the anger was that the sky of the venue collapsed!
