Set off, Luo Sina Imperial Court

"Damn it, so what now?"

"Just as Jiang Chi said, let's confirm the current time first, and by the way, go find that person in black robes in the picture.

The identity of someone who can make the public worship must be extraordinary, so I think it's better to go to the power center of this city and see.

Of course, before that, we must first determine where this is."

As she spoke, Poison picked up the little girl who had fainted on the ground nearest to her. This was the youngest-looking of the three children in this family. Poison's actions clearly showed she intended to ask something from the little girl's mouth.

She didn't know what she sprinkled on the little girl. Everyone only saw the little girl open her eyes in a daze. Before she could scream at the scene before her, her mouth was pressed by Poison's finger, and then she asked with great allure:

"What era is it in the Luo Sina Empire now, and which city is this?"

The little girl's eyes, widened in fear, slowly relaxed. She looked at Poison in a daze and mumbled incoherently:

"Luo Sina New Calendar Year 100, this is the imperial capital, Cannar."

The imperial capital?

So could the person holding the dagger high be their emperor?

As soon as the little girl's voice fell, several people frowned and began to guess. Only Poison's smile froze on her face after hearing these words.

The three saw this and their hearts skipped a beat, suddenly feeling a bad premonition. They turned to look at Poison with slightly solemn expressions, only to see the other party explaining with an ugly face:

"I said that the existence of the Luo Sina Empire is only a hundred years, and the 'hundred years' here is not a vague term..."

"???" Cheng Shi was shocked, he was confused, "You mean the Luo Sina Empire only existed for 100 years, exactly 100 years?"

Poison's expression was as complicated as it could be.

"Yes, and now is the 100th year in the calendar, so the destruction of the Luo Sina Empire might be happening right now!

And this also means that the probability of the scene depicted on the scroll happening in the past is more than 100 times the probability of it happening in the future.

After all, no matter what, this weather looks like the end of the year...

Sigh, our luck is a bit bad; it seems this is not 【Time】's home field."

Not 【Time】's home field means it is 【Memory】's home field.

Jiang Chi's expression was equally complicated. It wasn't that he didn't have the means of 【Memory】, but the problem was that compared to his own faith talent, the cost of using these 【Memory】 means was too high.

He was not an assassin and was not very interested in the 【Gift of Scars】. If he wanted to continue this business, he had to get a reward sufficient to break even.

Seeing the change in Jiang Chi's expression, Poison wasn't anxious yet, but Da Yi was.

"Damn it, Brother Jiang, don't quit yet. Everything now is just a guess; maybe this matter is happening in this short future.

Let's move first to scout for information, and when it's confirmed that it happened in the past...

Rest assured, I definitely have a reward that will satisfy you; I won't let you suffer a loss.

Of course, if I pay a heavy price for this, Poison... you'd better not play any tricks at the last moment.

I'm determined to have the 【Gift of Scars】, and your requirement can only be your life."

These words were very harsh, quite like a Grand Marshal's momentum, but more direct than the Grand Marshal.

Jiang Chi pondered for a moment; not voicing opposition was tacit consent to this cooperation method. As for Poison, she had always shown obedience to Da Yi, so no matter what she thought in her heart, she wouldn't object.

Cheng Shi would even less.

Currently, in the eyes of others, he was at most a healer—well, overestimating a bit, a healer with a brain and caution, and some output ability, but it shouldn't be much.

At least before Cheng Shi was fully exposed, he was not a threat to Da Yi. After all, Hu Wei didn't call him here to share this 【Gift of Scars】 with him, so although Da Yi was wary and suspicious of Cheng Shi, he didn't treat him as the primary competitor for the dagger.

That first place was still Poison.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Da Yi nodded seriously.

He pushed open the door and glanced at the sky full of wind and snow outside, saying in a deep voice:

"Damn it, speed is the essence of war, don't waste time. Ask where the Imperial Court is, and let's kill our way there to find out.

If we run into Gong Yang on the way and he's blind, find a chance to finish him off directly!"

As he spoke, he walked straight out without even looking at the people behind him.

Jiang Chi chuckled and hurriedly followed.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi finally had a glimmer of understanding of Da Yi's personality. He was very similar to Hu Wei, but more direct than Hu Wei.

And in dealing with partners, he had little of the hidden scheming of the Grand Marshal, but more of the threats placed directly on the table, and such actions were undoubtedly a manifestation of this assassin's extreme self-confidence.

He seemed confident in solving all troubles, which is why he was unwilling to waste time with troublesome procedures.

Just like now, he pushed the door and went out directly; perhaps it wasn't because he trusted the temporary teammates behind him, but more likely because he believed that even if he were betrayed, he wouldn't end up in a miserable state.

But it cannot be denied that this also counts as a disguised form of "trust."

A "teammate" who dares to show his back to others—how can one not like him?

The moment he thought of the word "back," Cheng Shi, for some reason, inexplicably glanced at Poison beside him. At this time, Poison was "interrogating" the little girl. She put the little girl who had revealed all the intelligence back on the ground, stood up, turned around, and caught Cheng Shi's gaze as soon as she looked up.

After seeing Cheng Shi's strange look, this 【Corruption】 believer blinked slightly in surprise, then suddenly realized and turned her back, pulled open the jacket on her body again, and revealed that already healed bare back.

Yes, a bare back again!

This time, the two pieces of clothing inside the jacket were gone again.

"???"

Cheng Shi didn't even expect that just by having a tiny associative thought, the other party would read his emotions. He turned his head away abruptly, awkwardly hurried to keep up with Da Yi's pace, but Poison behind him was faster than him, instantly rushing over to walk side-by-side with him, while curling her lips and silently mouthing:

"Does it look good?"

Cheng Shi didn't look at her, so naturally, he didn't know what she said, but feeling Poison approaching him again and again, he said speechlessly:

"With such a wide road, do you have to squeeze into this little space with me?"

Poison nodded as a matter of course: "I don't want to either, but I'm cold."

"What the hell does you being cold have to do with me?"

"You took off my clothes and then refused to acknowledge it?" Poison immediately felt wronged. She pulled Cheng Shi's hand with red eyes, as if looking at a heartless man, "You said you would squeeze in with me."

"......"

Damn, madwoman.

Cheng Shi rolled his eyes in annoyance and walked a few steps faster to shake her off, but Poison soon followed again. Just when Cheng Shi was helpless, Da Yi, who was in the front, relieved him.

Only hearing Da Yi, who was breaking the wind in front, shout loudly:

"Damn it, I didn't ask you to come out to flirt. Where is Poison? Lead the way in front, how do we get to the Imperial Court?"

Poison still wanted to tease Cheng Shi for a while, but hearing this, out of "obedience," she had to pout and lead the way.

So, without the frolicking, the group's speed in the wind and snow increased. Not long after, they crossed the square again and arrived in front of the Luo Sina Imperial Court, which looked like a temple.

Looking at the towering inner city wall and the high multi-story palace, Cheng Shi and Jiang Chi marveled at the grandeur of the Luo Sina Imperial Court, but the expressions of Poison and Da Yi, who were leading, were not good.

Because the assassin's keen five senses told them that the vitality and sounds in this Imperial Court seemed to be much less than expected.

"Damn it, something is not quite right. Everyone follow closely, we'll go and explore.

Brother Cheng, leave the healing to you."

Cheng Shi also felt the anomaly. He nodded with a serious expression, gripped his ring tightly, and followed his teammates step by step into the highest power center of this country of 【Corruption】.

And when the four disappeared into the wind and snow, at a street corner they passed, the snow on the wall suddenly shook off, and after a while, it piled up again under the blowing of the strong wind.
