"The Real Escape"

Mo Li was very calm. Although his complexion was unusual, he didn't have any stress reactions.

He saw him pinch a few book pages in his hand, looked around with a solemn expression, and after discovering that the people around him were Hu Wei and Cheng Shi, he quietly put the book pages away.

After seeing this scene, Cheng Shi enriched Mo Li's profile a bit more in his heart. This Law-maker crowned with the name of Chief Assistant looked even steadier than the Grand Marshal.

He seemed to always be so confident. Of course, whether this confidence was faked or real, Cheng Shi didn't know.

Seeing Mo Li put away his hand, Hu Wei also let go of the other party. He knocked twice with his greatsword on the ground and then said quickly:

"Golis is chasing us, we must escape His nest as soon as possible."

As soon as Mo Li heard this name, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Clearly, he knew the name Golis.

"【Sin-Breeding Nest Mother】! This 【Nativity】 method actually dragged us into His nest?"

Hu Wei was slightly surprised: "You've heard of it?"

Mo Li's complexion was solemn: "Yes, I have had the honor of hearing this name, but He has long been submerged in the Memory Sea. Why here..."

"Resentment!" Cheng Shi added, "Don't waste time, talk while running!"

As he spoke, Cheng Shi took the lead and ran to the next dead infant again, Hu Xuan followed closely, leaving space for Hu Wei and Mo Li to communicate.

These two were both human spirits, naturally knowing that this was Cheng Shi deliberately letting them exchange information, saving the trouble of greeting back and forth.

Hu Wei didn't hesitate either, carried Mo Li and followed, telling Mo Li everything he had just thought of while running.

After listening, Mo Li combined his own cognition of Golis and only replied to Hu Wei with one word:

"True!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Wei accelerated immediately.

And at this time, as the Chief Assistant, Mo Li's terrifying auxiliary ability was finally displayed.

Cheng Shi, who was running at the front, didn't even know what tune the other party sang, but felt his body suddenly become light. Not only that, under the Chief Assistant's blessing, the step he took lightly was even further than the previous five steps.

But this could still be understood, after all, there were too many auxiliary means like acceleration, it was nothing more than different forms.

But everything that happened next made Cheng Shi feel that he still underestimated this Chief Assistant.

Because he saw the dead infant cage in the distance actually start to fly toward him rapidly!

This long road suddenly changed from a one-way chase to a two-way rush!

"Holy shit..."

In less than ten seconds, the dead infant was placed in front of Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi raised his brows slightly, seemingly seeing Mo Li's intention, but he still tore open the shell of the dead infant with his bare hands without hesitation, and...

released the acrobat.

!!??

Long Jing!?

How could it be him!?

He actually didn't leave!!

Cheng Shi's gaze sharpened, and his heart skipped a beat.

Good, good, this 【Fraud】 list number two actually pulled off a trick under everyone's nose. He didn't leave the venue at all, but relied on 【Fraud】 means to stay away from the center of the stage and hide in the crowd!

No wonder there was one more dead infant hanging in the sky; it turned out to be him!

Yes, Long Jing indeed didn't leave. He deceived everyone just to continue harvesting intelligence in the venue, but who could have thought that Cheng Shi would use such an indiscriminate control method!

Just this one move dragged Long Jing, who thought he had escaped gorgeously and sat on the fishing platform, into Golis's resentment!

Cheng Shi was angered to laughter, but on the surface, he still pretended to be stunned. Not only Cheng Shi, but everyone present, except Hu Xuan who didn't understand what happened in the Yongren venue, the other two were also stunned.

As soon as Long Jing recovered his consciousness, he jumped out of the restraint. But when he saw a group of acquaintances looking at him with strange expressions, this acrobat who was good at turning and moving stumbled and almost sprained his ankle and fell to the ground the moment he landed.

Hu Wei looked at Long Jing with a half-smile and snorted coldly:

"Is this your next circus?"

"The way you can't stand still is indeed quite funny."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Cheng Shi, who heard this, turned his head in astonishment, almost thinking that Chen Shu had possessed Hu Wei.

Long Jing escaped the predicament and secretly thought he was lucky, but when he saw Cheng Shi was also there, the heart he had just put down immediately lifted again!

This... well, looking at the attitudes of others, it was clear they recognized this "Cheng Shi", but the problem was, is this "Cheng Shi" the "Cheng Shi" from just now?

If so, then where did he... come from as a liar?

Because Cheng Shi was looking at Hu Wei, he happened to miss Long Jing's line of sight. No one could say whether it was a coincidence or the Fate Weaver did it on purpose. In short, seeing Cheng Shi ignoring him, Long Jing suppressed the doubt in his heart and didn't immediately expose Cheng Shi's identity.

In his view, this meeting was undoubtedly more like a new "cooperation" compared to the previous liar infighting.

So he decided to control movement with stillness and remain motionless.

Cheng Shi also didn't expect Long Jing to be dragged in. He calculated that he would meet this President Gong sooner or later, but didn't expect it to be so fast.

So fast that he had just thought about how to face Long Jing's questioning, and his heart was also a little nervous, but fortunately, the other party didn't add drama to himself, so Cheng Shi let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

But at the moment, the scrutiny of him from all sides was endless. It was this look back that made Mo Li meet his gaze again. Mo Li's gaze scrutinized Cheng Shi for a moment, and then asked in a euphemistic tone:

"You probably know what I'm looking for, Fate Weaver."

Cheng Shi shook his head and laughed, then reached out and took out something.

When everyone saw this fragment, they all showed puzzled expressions. Only Hu Xuan smiled bitterly and didn't speak.

Cheng Shi explained with a gloomy face: "Nightfall Spring Whistle, I used the most primitive 【Nativity】 power carried inside to break your restraints, but now... it's broken."

Hu Wei's gaze sharpened: "When I got this whistle, it didn't seem to have this power on it."

"That's because Hu Xuan wasn't present at the time. Her arrival added many resonances to this 【Nativity】 prop." Cheng Shi smiled bitterly, "Brother Hu, this was a life-saving backup she gave me after I saved Hu Xuan's life, and now it's all used up."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi looked at Hu Xuan miserably. That pitiful expression was clearly asking if she could come up with another one.

Hu Xuan smiled lightly, her face pale, and didn't answer.

Now, in the eyes of Hu Wei and Mo Li, everything made sense.

The context of the whole thing they thought was:

Cheng Shi used the whistle Zhen Yi returned to him to call Hu Xuan to break their restraints and prepare to escape, but in the process of running away, they were blocked back by Golis's resentment.

The battle between the two and Golis clearly failed. Hu Xuan activated a secret method to hold Golis for a period of time, and then the two ran in the opposite direction, and had no choice but to come to save people, gathering everyone's strength to find another way.

Up to now, Cheng Shi saved three people, but the whistle's power disappeared, which meant the remaining two...

were hopeless.

This wasn't the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that the shadows under the void seemed to be getting closer and closer.

Terror gradually gathered under everyone's feet. Hu Wei frowned slightly and rushed toward the next dead infant cage without a word, but before he could move, he was pulled by Mo Li. He looked back in astonishment, only to see Mo Li shaking his head and saying:

"It's too late. The remaining two, one is Yu Mu, and one is an unknown stranger. I guess it's very likely the person behind the scenes who was watching the play in the audience like Long Jing. Before figuring out the identity, saving him out is unwise.

As for Zhen Yi... this is her trap. Perhaps she has already escaped and left at this time. Remember this account, there will be a day of liquidation sooner or later.

I have heard of Golis. He hates all blasphemers. I don't know how Zhen Yi sent us in, but don't forget, we used 【Nativity】 power to break His imprisonment and escape. No matter what, we should all be His targets now.

And once caught in His hunt, the ending will only be endless!

So, Grand Marshal, save time, find a way to withdraw first!"

Hu Wei was a little moved, but after struggling for a moment, he still shook his head.

"Yu Mu was called down by me. Even if he is not liked, I can't just ignore him. You go first, I'll try again!"

As he spoke, Hu Wei rushed over with his head down.

"..."

Watching this burly figure go away, Cheng Shi felt very complex in his heart.

If you say he is righteous, he can sometimes watch you die; if you say he is not righteous, he can pull you back before you die.

People, they are really complex creatures.

Although Cheng Shi thought so, he followed up, because in his script, this was another branch line. The content of this branch line was that if the Grand Marshal didn't give up on Yu Mu, then he would follow up to act and win favor, after all, Yu Mu would definitely not be let go.

Even if he was indeed in the second-to-last dead infant cage, the fate of this 【Decay】 believer had already been determined.

And it was determined by Cheng Shi. ===== CHAPTER 457 =====
