Chapter 51: The difficulty of the trial is still upgrading

The difficulty of the trial is still upgrading.

Is this the semi-artifact that kills without a trace?

The scene in front of him made Cheng Shi have to think so!

Although the dagger was held in the ascetic monk's palm, he couldn't hold this semi-artifact steady at all; his whole body was trembling along with the dagger.

Looking at his red-eyed, wide-eyed expression, Cheng Shi was really afraid he would have some problems.

"The Grand Inquisition is downstairs and may discover this place at any time. Withdraw the domain, and I'll help you!"

Cheng Shi's sincerity was met with the usual silence.

Even if the ascetic monk's state continued to fall, he didn't withdraw the silence domain.

This really made Cheng Shi silent.

"You found the key clue to the trial, right?"

"..."

"Your state is too bad; if you don't let go, you will die!"

"..."

Fine, fine, fine, so you're eating alone!

"Fine, fine, fine, then die!"

Cheng Shi saw that communication was impossible and turned to leave.

The movement here was too big; the people from the Grand Inquisition are not fools; they would soon realize where the bard's room was and chase up.

If they were seen, then his appearance at the murderer's door would be indefensible.

How could an ordinary traveler be so interested in a murderer that he would run to the murderer's room in the opposite direction while others were fleeing for their lives?

When you can check for clues, check for clues; when you need to save your life, save your life first.

Cheng Shi couldn't beat this warrior who ate alone, so he could only think of other ways.

However, just as he turned to leave, a terrifying purple thunder flew past Cheng Shi's side face and poured directly onto the ascetic monk.

Thunder!

Cheng Shi's mind was shocked, and his pupils shrank.

The terrifying burning and numbing sensation made him lose perception of half of his face.

He stared wide-eyed and looked forward, only to see a man standing at the stairs on the second floor, looking at himself coldly.

Mo Qiusi!

This judge was faster than he had expected.

Behind him were several law enforcement officers and a crowd of travelers who weren't afraid of death, as well as Fang Jue and Du Xiguang who were furrowing their brows in the crowd.

Clearly, they had already solved the bard downstairs.

So fast?

Cheng Shi instinctively felt that perhaps there was an accident downstairs.

He looked at Fang Jue, and then was slightly startled, choosing to look at Du Xiguang again.

Sure enough, Fang Jue had a dark face and didn't say a word, Du Xiguang's face was conflicted, but in the end, he shook his head slightly.

The bard had a problem!

So they came upstairs at the first moment!

Fang Jue, this follower of 【Order】, was actually still considering the issue of faith opposition at this time.

Really...

Forget it, faith opposition can't be blamed on the players.

The faith of 【Chaos】 is indeed annoying.

But what needs to be thought about now is not these, but how to remove himself from the matter of appearing at the murderer's door.

Cheng Shi's mind turned rapidly, immediately pretending to be frightened and falling to the side; when he rolled to the ground, he also peeked at the ascetic monk in the room.

Such a thick lightning, just being stung by the splashing electric light during the strike, half of his face lost sensation.

If this hit a person, could they still live??

Don't say, they really could!

The ascetic monk's body was clearly frozen for a moment by the thunder strike as thick as a barrel, but he really didn't die; instead, he was blown away, charred all over.

At the same time, he flicked that demon-red dagger away, dropping it at Cheng Shi's feet.

Mo Qiusi was clearly also shocked that his thunder punishment didn't kill the criminal.

But he quickly returned to his serious appearance, his tone as cold as the ice that hadn't melted for a thousand years in the abyss.

"Very good, you are the first sinner to survive my thunder punishment.

Even I have to admire such a physique.

The southern front is tight, and it is just the time to use people.

"Give up the resistance, hand over 'it', and I will give you a chance to serve as a 'prisoner of war'!"

Death row prisoners who serve in war might be able to fight for a way out on the battlefield; such people are generally called war prisoners by the Grand Inquisition.

Of course, no matter how many people you kill, you can only avoid death; after returning, you still have to go to jail.

【Order】 needs to be maintained, and judgment will not be wrong.

From the moment a sinner commits a crime, they are a sinner forever and ever.

This is the will of the Grand Inquisition.

It is also the reason why Fang Jue didn't want to join the Grand Inquisition.

He furrowed his brows upon hearing this sentence.

The thick-as-glue thunder at the tip of Mo Qiusi's scepter was still roaring; he stared ruthlessly at the ascetic monk, as if as long as he dared to say a "no" word, this roaring thunder would swallow him without hesitation.

Cheng Shi hid on the side like a transparent person, but in his heart, he was calculating how this follower of 【Silence】 would break the situation.

However, contrary to everyone's expectations.

He didn't want to break the situation at all!

When the ascetic monk struggled to climb up from the ground, he didn't choose to flee at the first moment, but resolutely flew toward Cheng Shi!

No!

It was the dagger at Cheng Shi's feet!

Cheng Shi stared wide-eyed, crawling backward two steps in extreme incomprehension.

Brother, do you have to be so rigid?

Can't you live without being iron-headed?

Do you think the judge's thunder punishment is electrotherapy?

It really kills people!

These two steps with quick reactions really saved Cheng Shi's life, because at the same time as the ascetic monk moved, the thunder in Mo Qiusi's hand roared and surged toward him decisively!

"Boom!"

There was no luck this time!

The ascetic monk turned into charred ash the moment the thunder hit him.

The anger carried by this thunder was clearly more terrifying than the previous one.

Lord Mo Qiusi was angry.

So the sinner...

Died.

Dust splashed, and the thunder subsided.

And the deceased himself, from beginning to end, had never said a word.

Throughout the entire death process, he practiced the manifestation of 【Silence】, showing his piety to his Benefactor.

"Hum—"

The huge thunder made Cheng Shi's ears ring.

His skull was whistling, and his heart was trembling.

Because the ascetic monk was rushing in the direction facing him, Cheng Shi clearly saw the persistence in his eyes.

Saw that before he was poured with thunder, that trace of persistent light disappeared from his eyes in advance!

He wasn't killed by thunder!!

But died of fear!

Yes, he died under this eerie red dagger at his feet, died under 【When Fear Arrives】!

Before the judge's judgment, he died under a semi-artifact he wanted to seize!

Cheng Shi stared wide-eyed in disbelief, quickly turning his head to look at the crowd.

If the bard downstairs had already been solved, then when was the ascetic monk marked by it?

Could it be that the murderer is still in the crowd?

Even under the noses of the Grand Inquisition, he is still killing!?

Six, remaining three.

The trial is only on the second day!

Cheng Shi had cold sweat on his back and dared not speak.

He hugged his body slightly, trying hard to play the role of a frightened and injured traveler, attempting to muddle through.

Actually, Mo Qiusi had long seen through everything; he knew Cheng Shi was not a good person, and also knew he wanted to fish in troubled waters and find this dagger.

However, the most favorable point for Cheng Shi is that even though he appeared in a place he shouldn't have, he didn't do anything he shouldn't have.

For this kind of person who is not a good person on the surface but has no criminal behavior, the judge cannot judge him as guilty.

Otherwise, it would be violating 【Order】.

【Order】 gave them authority, but also limited their power.

Mo Qiusi walked up to Cheng Shi with a dark face, ignored the "injured traveler," and leaned down to pick up the demon-red dagger.

This semi-artifact that almost took half the ascetic monk's life didn't show too much resistance in his hand, like an ordinary iron tool, lying quietly in his hand.

But the moment 【When Fear Arrives】 fell into Mo Qiusi's hands, the complexions of the only three remaining players became extremely ugly.

The difficulty of the trial is still upgrading. ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
