Chapter 50: Completely different reactions

~8 min read 1,424 words

Completely different reactions.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the holy light of 【Order】 wrapped everyone.

"Some of you may know me, and some may have never heard of me, but that doesn't matter.

Why the Grand Inquisition came here, I think everyone knows.

Evil is spreading in Yongzhan Town, and sinners are wantonly depriving residents of the right to embrace 【Prosperity】 under the cover of night.

This dirty and filthy evil act is not only a trampling on the faith of the Natural Alliance, but also a provocation to the authority of the Grand Inquisition.

【Order】 above, judgment has arrived!

No sinner can escape sanction.

I, first-class judge, Mo Qiusi, promise the Yongzhan Town Autonomous Alliance and His followers:

Today, I will definitely find the real killer and return peace to everyone!"

Mo Qiusi's words were very inspiring; many people's complexions looked much better, and the law enforcement officers around were even more expectant.

But immediately after, his tone became cold and biting, extremely playful.

"Alright, the routine announcement is over; let's throw away these redundant constraints and get straight to the point.

I have already found the murderer; he is indeed among you.

Fear was once your sharp blade, but it will also be your tomb song.

Under the gaze of 【Order】, under the ruling of the Grand Inquisition, you...

How do you want to escape?"

Before Mo Qiusi finished speaking, his gaze began to move slowly, from the far left, scanning everyone in the lobby.

Every time he turned a subtle angle, all the travelers in the area he watched would subconsciously tense their bodies, peek left and right, and inquire about each other, fearing that the murderer was by their side.

This pressure, which took the form of substance, even made many travelers' legs tremble, almost falling.

Cheng Shi stood in the crowd, feeling the gaze like a sword's edge linger on him for a moment, and then continue to the left, secretly breathing a sigh of relief in his heart.

He was now afraid that this judge would use the method of destroying Yun Ni on him, a 【Chaos】 follower, again.

Fortunately, he seemed to really ignore the players.

The pressure was still shifting, and panic was still brewing.

Just when Mo Qiusi's gaze had turned halfway and was about to look to the right, a sudden change occurred!

I saw a figure wearing a cyan windbreaker suddenly lower his head, push away the surrounding travelers, and rush toward the periphery of the crowd with his body lowered.

The bumped travelers were stunned for a moment, and then screamed in terror.

"Ah!!!"

"Help! Save me!"

"Run, the murderer is going to kill!"

The law enforcement officers in front of the door were immediately energized and chased after him one after another.

"It's him! Don't run!"

"Catch him!"

The lobby instantly became chaotic.

At the first moment this wave of chaos broke out, several players keenly seized the opportunity and made completely different reactions.

Fang Jue began to chant loudly, revealing his 【Order】 power without reservation, turning into golden order chains, chasing after the fleeing figure.

Du Xiguang flashed and disappeared, as if predicting the trajectory and blocking the path of the fugitive.

But he didn't hinder this figure's escape; instead, at the appropriate time, with an inconspicuous action, he "inadvertently" touched this "sinner."

As for Cheng Shi...

He disappeared.

At the moment the crowd dispersed, he disguised himself as a frightened traveler, rushed out of the first-floor blockade, and quickly ran to the second floor.

But his move was not because he was scared, nor was it to save his life, but to search for clues!

Giving up is impossible; giving up is impossible in this life.

This game is so exciting; if you give up, you'll die, and it won't give you a chance to rest at all.

If you want to survive, you can only constantly stimulate your potential!

As early as the first day of exploring the inn, Cheng Shi had silently recorded the appearance of all travelers in the inn and the rooms they lived in.

When the cyan windbreaker moved, he immediately locked onto this person's identity.

A bard!

A bard who claimed to be from the Northern Kanliwal Empire.

The travelers in the inn were panicked because of the murder case, and there was no lack of instigation from several troublemakers led by him!

Actually, when Cheng Shi knew there was a semi-artifact like 【When Fear Arrives】, he also suspected this bard.

The so-called "a workman must sharpen his tools if he is to do his work well," if you want to kill with fear, the best way is to spread fear first!

And the profession of bard is most suitable for doing this work openly and honestly.

They like to tell stories, especially stories that make people's hair stand on end.

It's just that at that time, he was still shocked by Wei Guan's death, his mind wasn't keen, or rather, he couldn't make a clear judgment.

And now, everything matches up.

There has never been any "cups and bow shadows"; the reason for seeing a snake is because that "bow" was made of a snake in the first place!

The killer had long since made all the preparations, just waiting for this semi-artifact to prove itself:

When Fear Arrives!

Cheng Shi's footsteps were fast; he moved through the fleeing travelers and arrived outside the bard's room before long.

His idea was different from the other two.

Fang Jue clearly felt that the Grand Inquisition occupied an absolute dominant position after arriving; at this time, helping the Grand Inquisition chase the murderer might bring more convenience in the subsequent investigation and actions.

And Du Xiguang's idea was more direct; as long as he touched the person, he could read the memory.

Cheng Shi thought in his heart:

When a murderer confirms that he has been locked onto, his first reaction must be to clear his suspicion.

And the simplest and most effective way to clear suspicion is to throw away the tool of the crime.

But a semi-artifact is not something that can be thrown away casually, so Cheng Shi was more inclined to believe he hid his dagger, rather than throwing it away.

He came to the bard's room at the first moment, wanting to find some clues that could reveal the content of the trial.

If he could "coincidentally" find that dagger, that would naturally be the best.

However, when Cheng Shi came to the room door like a ghost and pushed open the room door with his own hands, in the room...

There was already someone there.

In front of him was a man with his upper body naked, muscles bulging all over his body, and his whole body exerting force!

Ascetic monk!

It was that follower of 【Silence】!

Cheng Shi was greatly astonished and blinked in confusion.

No wonder he couldn't see his figure, even after everyone was taken to the first floor by the Grand Inquisition, he hadn't seen his face.

It turns out he had also noticed the bard's identity.

But no matter how lone a player is, they are still one of their own, especially since he and he belong to the same path 【Chaos】, without the hatred of faith opposition, so there is no need to worry too much.

But the other party's state...

Is a bit wrong.

The ascetic monk clearly heard the room door being pushed open, but he didn't turn around.

He seemed to be holding something tightly in his hand, tensing his body and gathering strength to resist with all his heart.

Cheng Shi saw the clue, felt his state was declining, so he hurriedly cast a healing spell on him.

Pastor's duty: can't stand seeing teammates with less than full health bars.

Who knew that the follower of 【Silence】 didn't appreciate it at all; he had laid down a 【Silence Domain】 at some unknown time, and the healing spell failed directly in the domain.

"?"

Another one who eats alone?

Cheng Shi was furious and cursed in a low voice:

"Don't play dumb; if you don't speak, I'll call people!"

The ascetic monk's momentum clearly stalled; after a few breaths, he gritted his teeth and turned half of his body tremblingly.

As soon as he turned, Cheng Shi saw what his hands were holding.

Looking closely, it was a dagger emitting an eerie red light, struggling desperately under his imprisonment.

"!!??"
