Chapter 45: Silence is Cambridge tonight

~7 min read 1,339 words

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

The S-rank faith talent of 【Memory】 exclusive to the Memory Traveler, Memory Streamer.

Traveling through the memory fragments of the target as a traveler, constantly searching for scenes and images that interest oneself, like a quick trip.

This person, Du Xiguang, is not selfish; at least he knows how to share.

When Yun Ni's memory from just now was read, he used some unknown method to imprint the images from the memory onto the ground of the street.

Then, all the players present saw such a scene:

A female assassin with a good figure lifted her vest; the piled-up fabric covered it tightly, but the curve still made people dumbfounded...

Cough, cough.

This was clearly a memory of Yun Ni changing clothes.

As for the reason for changing clothes, it was naturally because someone had given her chest a knife, piercing the vest.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Well, this is great; the scene suddenly turned into a conversion assembly for 【Silence】.

Everyone is fucking silent.

Cheng Shi's mouth twitched, looking at the stiff-faced Du Xiguang, unable to complain.

You finally came up with an excuse to let everyone find some interesting assassin memories, and you show everyone this?

You really don't treat the brothers as outsiders!

Yun Ni was only controlled, not blind; she naturally saw the image on the ground.

But she was not angry.

She just coldly stabbed her dagger into Du Xiguang's heart, sliced open his chest and abdomen, cut his throat, poked out his eyes...

Then, after he opened his eyes again under the protection of 【Blooming only awaits withering】, she asked a question:

"Does it look good?"

The weak and powerless Du Xiguang couldn't resist the effect of 【Confession】 at all and immediately replied:

"It looks good!"

Then, his eyes suffered a heavy blow again.

"Ah!"

If Cheng Shi hadn't been there to break up the fight, perhaps under the torture of 【Annihilation】's divine power, Du Xiguang might not have made it back tonight.

After Yun Ni finished venting, she glanced at Cheng Shi expressionlessly.

"Didn't you like it? Does it look good?"

Damn, the little girl holds a grudge!

But Cheng Shi wasn't afraid of this.

After experiencing so much, he was indeed immune to this level of imagery.

But unexpectedly, he still blurted out:

"·It looks good!"

When he realized he had said the wrong thing, his face looked like he was constipated, and he retreated two steps rapidly.

Who knew that Yun Ni didn't attack him like she did Du Xiguang, but instead said something with an ambiguous meaning:

"Come to my room tonight; there's even better stuff to see."

"..."

A trap!

It's definitely a trap!

Cheng Shi felt for the first time that believing in 【Silence】 wasn't bad; at least you don't have to use your brain to respond.

Praise 【Silence】!

The playful interlude came to an end.

Fang Jue is someone who does serious work.

He swore that his eyes only glanced at the alluring image on the ground, and then he immediately remembered that he was here to interrogate people, not to joke around.

His target was clearly not Cheng Shi.

But that ascetic monk who hadn't been with everyone from beginning to end.

This follower of 【Silence】 had disappeared early on, and when he was seen again, he became the guide who discovered the corpse.

Where he went and what he did during this time of disappearance, no one knew.

Added to the fact that followers of 【Silence】 are best at snuffing out sound, whether Wei Guan could have been killed by him was the first thing Fang Jue had to confirm.

The ascetic monk clearly realized the suspicion on him, but this time he didn't continue to maintain silence; instead, he took the initiative to speak:

"It wasn't me."

The silence was broken!

Everyone looked at him in astonishment; first they were stunned, and then everyone's heart sank.

The severity of the situation had already made a 【Silence】 follower take the initiative to break silence and seek cooperation, which meant that this time, all the players were facing a very tricky murderer.

Most importantly, the players' self-righteous life-saving methods seemed not worth mentioning in the eyes of this murderer.

The conceited Wei Guan was the best proof.

The scene fell into silence again.

Fang Jue stopped chanting the ballad; he began to carefully examine every trace at the scene.

After Du Xiguang recovered, he and Cheng Shi searched every building in the vicinity separately.

The inspection work was so detailed that they almost pulled out the bugs sleeping in the cracks of the door panels to X-ray them before putting them back, but they still gained nothing.

Yun Ni performed the autopsy again, but the answer obtained was exactly the same as the result at the Law Enforcement Bureau this afternoon.

No wounds.

An eerie atmosphere spread, and everyone's complexion didn't look right.

Cheng Shi furrowed his brows and walked toward Wei Guan's corpse.

He noticed the terror in Wei Guan's expression.

It's funny to say, this Hunter of Foolishness who always squinted his eyes to look down on others, the first time he opened his eyes wide was before death.

"Don't you have a way to read people's memories?"

"I do, but dead people don't work," Du Xiguang replied expressionlessly. "I am a mage, not a hunter."

Cheng Shi nodded and began to carefully examine the corpse's pupils.

Yun Ni approached him and said coldly:

"Don't bother trying to find anything in the pupils; that murderer calmly disposed of all traces; he is a perfect killer."

Cheng Shi indeed didn't find any clues; he sighed and began to examine the limbs.

The corpse still had a trace of residual warmth; clearly, he hadn't been dead long.

Cheng Shi still found it hard to understand until now why a life could die so silently.

Could it be that the 2400-point Wei Guan couldn't even struggle once under the murderer's hands?

Or is it... the method of killing, really a curse?

The murderer didn't even arrive at the scene, just remote operation, and ended Wei Guan's life?

This level of killing method, did it erase the victim's consciousness, or stop the victim's heartbeat?

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi's hand touched the corpse's chest.

It was somewhat cold.

He had been dead for a while.

Hmm?

Wrong!!

Why were Wei Guan's limbs still warm, but his chest cavity was already cold?

Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows and began to grope point by point on Wei Guan's chest with his fingertips.

Fang Jue saw this scene and asked curiously:

"Are you a doctor?"

"It seems your memory isn't very good. I said, I am a Rationality Eater."

"A doctor and a pastor are not the same thing."

Fang Jue was clearly talking about Cheng Shi's previous profession; Cheng Shi didn't hide it either and nodded.

Yun Ni asked with great interest:

"Because of this, you chose a pastor?"

Cheng Shi shook his head.

"Then why?"

"【Confession】 is over; do you think you can still get an answer from me?"

Yun Ni chuckled and said no more.

Cheng Shi was not a doctor before the 【Faith Game】 descended, but he did know some medical skills of looking, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse.

These skills were not learned from school, but taught by his foster father, an old man who was happy all day long.

As for why an old man who picked up trash knew medical skills, Cheng Shi couldn't say either.

He hadn't asked.

He carefully felt the muscle texture and fascia pressure under the corpse's skin, and after touching for a long time, he raised his head and asked:

"I need a needle."

Hearing this, everyone frowned and shook their heads one after another.

Only Yun Ni glanced at him sideways and asked:

"Stab where?"

Cheng Shi looked at her, somewhat surprised, pointed to the center of Wei Guan's corpse's heart, and said:

"Here, stab straight into the heart." ===== CHAPTER 46 =====
