Chapter 512
Want it? Take it.
But this time it was different, because Gong Yangjiao had really killed her.
Chest broken and heart ripped out, she died a tragic and beautiful death.
Cheng Shi looked at everything before him with a blank expression, and suddenly let out a self-deprecating laugh.
He felt that the blood splashing and falling all over Poison's body was so piercing to the eyes, as if it had painted a mocking eye in the snow; that eye was slightly narrowed, seemingly mocking him as well, mocking him for not daring to give his own trust, and also mocking him for not listening to her advice, the tone of which was as if to say:
"Look, little priest, I told you Mr. Horn was not to be trusted."
Yes, you were right; it turns out Mr. Horn really was not to be trusted.
He did not know why Poison was so certain, but this time the other party was undoubtedly right.
However, Cheng Shi did not counterattack, nor did he want to counterattack; although the Fun Ring's charge was full and could lock onto the other party without thinking, he still did not move.
He just looked at Gong Yangjiao, who was standing before him, neither willing to give up nor daring to move, constantly warning himself that during this period of role-playing as the Messenger, he had gradually relaxed his vigilance, even thinking that everyone would hold awe for "Mystery" and 【Them】.
But now, Gong Yangjiao had undoubtedly refuted this point of view very well, and had used practical actions to teach Cheng Shi a lesson, making him understand a new truth: that among peak players, there are always existences crazier than the crazy.
They were crazy beyond reason.
In front of such people, even if you are a Messenger, they would still dare to kill you.
The other party was coveting his ring; the other party actually dared to covet his ring; even knowing that he was the real Messenger, he still took action!
Was he crazy?
Everything before his eyes made Cheng Shi suddenly remember a sentence Da Yi had said to him at the beginning:
"Gong Yangjiao, 【Filthy Fall】 rank three, is a paranoid; don't try to understand him, just remember to go around him when you meet him, and that's it."
Paranoid... this paranoid's paranoia was truly eye-opening.
Cheng Shi laughed again, still self-deprecatingly.
He did not look at the dead Poison at his feet again, but instead took off his ring without joy or sorrow and threw it to Gong Yangjiao.
Gong Yangjiao was stunned at this scene; he took the ring in disbelief, and was shocked in place, at a loss for what to do.
"Want it? Take it." Cheng Shi shook his head and laughed.
He had never used such a sinister method to trap and kill someone.
Yes, sinister! Trapping and killing!
Because he knew that this ring could not tolerate covetousness from outsiders; this was a gift from that lord on the bone throne, and that lord seemed... not seemed, but was just very stingy.
This was almost a trump card among trump cards; those who wanted to covet this ring would definitely suffer the retaliation of that lord. This was not Cheng Shi's imagination, but a method jointly certified by 【Death】 and 【Deception】.
Therefore, as long as Cheng Shi was willing, he could completely use this ring as bait to trap and kill some peak players who did not know the inside story.
But he never had; for one, he did not want to over-consume that lord's gaze, and for another, in non-life-and-death situations, he had enough human methods to use, and there was no need to be so inhumane.
But today... he wanted to try.
Cheng Shi wanted to see what kind of death 【Death】 would bestow upon this Screaming Count before him.
Gong Yangjiao was terrified; he knew he only had one chance. Before Envoy Envoy Yu Xi became the true 【Envoy Envoy Yu Xi】, he only had this one chance.
If he won the bet, he would be loaded; but if he lost... how could it be loaded anyway?
What was going on? Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi had bestowed this ring upon him?
It was really no wonder Gong Yangjiao was dumbfounded; he was even more dumbfounded now than Cheng Shi had been just a moment ago. In the huge fear of failing to assassinate the Messenger, and in the sudden unexpected surprise, he did not know for a moment whether he had done something wrong or not.
But he still knelt down from his heart; although there was a ferocious grin on the corner of his mouth, and although the covetousness on his face could not be hidden, in order to survive, he still gripped the ring tightly and knelt down.
"Foolish..."
The anxious Gong Yangjiao had just said one word when a silent sharp arrow flew from afar. Immersed in the huge emotional tug-of-war, he had not paid any attention at all, and so...
"Whoosh—"
In Cheng Shi's playful smile and the Screaming Count's helpless confusion, the arrow directly pierced through Gong Yangjiao's skull, pinning this 【Filthy Fall】 believer, who was still trying to guess the Messenger's intentions, firmly to the ground!
He was dead.
The second coveter of the Bone Servant Lele'er's ring died in front of Cheng Shi within the first minute of not even having warmed the ring.
Cheng Shi sneered, did not look at the corpse, but instead raised his head to look forward. Soon, he met a pair of 【Silent】 eyes.
That chameleon who had been chasing Jiang Chi had returned long ago. At this moment, he stood on the roof not far away, facing Cheng Shi's scrutinizing gaze, and bowed to Cheng Shi respectfully and fanatically.
Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows, remembering a sentence Gong Yangjiao had said to him.
"I can make that chameleon obey you as well; he dreams of seeing the god."
Seeing the god...
It seemed that this chameleon had finally confirmed his identity, and in choosing between believing in his partner and choosing to believe in the "god," he had leaned toward the god.
Heh, fate, it is always so... absurd and bizarre.
The black-market worker he had recruited himself had endured and backstabbed him, while the temp he hadn't taken to heart had become an unexpected "loyal servant."
And this... Poison, who had blocked a death for him. Cheng Shi lowered his head, looked at Poison at his feet, and a bitter smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Now it was done; he really owed her.
He was thinking, if Poison hadn't blocked that, would he have died?
But after thinking about it over and over, the answer he got was...
No.
It wasn't that he wouldn't die, but that Poison wouldn't have failed to block it; she would definitely have blocked this sudden attack for him and died "tragically" in front of him!
Because this was Poison, this was the 【Filthy Fall】 god-chosen who showed him her trust!
Although she wouldn't die just like that, she still used a precious life to tell him: "You can trust me, little priest."
"..." Cheng Shi's heart was filled with mixed feelings. After thinking chaotically for a while, he sighed and said, "Fate... is quite good."
The interlude between the hunters had come to an end, and the story between the hunter and the prey should also end.
Cheng Shi did not want to waste any more time; he decided to use some means to deal with Jiang Chi, and this means was his final trump card, 【The Remorse of the Self-Sinner】.
He leaned over and kicked over Gong Yangjiao's corpse, pried open the other's hand to retrieve his ring, and after putting it on, did not forget to add two thunder punishments, then stepped over the gray ash with a cold expression and chased in the direction of Jiang Chi.
Under Da Yi's interference, Jiang Chi hadn't run far at all, or rather, he had also had expectations for that assassination, so he hadn't run with all his might.
Da Yi was the same; he hadn't chased with all his might either. Who wouldn't want to watch a play about assassinating a Messenger?
It was just that in Jiang Chi's expectation, he hoped Cheng Shi would die, while for Da Yi, when he sensed Gong Yangjiao returning to kill Lord Ultraman, his only expectation was how this Screaming Count would die.
How did he dare?
A paranoid is truly terrifying.
It seems he didn't die honestly; he'll learn his lesson after dying one more time.
Sure enough, from the first signs of the assassination to the complete failure of the assassination, and then to the assassin dying with hatred, only a few short minutes had passed. Lord Ultraman hadn't even made a move, and Gong Yangjiao had died at the hands of his own collaborator.
The chameleon had uncharacteristically killed the Screaming Count... what else could this be for?
He was interfered with by the power of 【Chaos】, of course.
As a Messenger of 【Chaos】, Lord Ultraman was enough to cover the field with chaos!
Praise 【Chaos】!
In Da Yi's view, this couldn't even be counted as an interlude; at most, it was Gong Yangjiao being stupid. But he didn't know that the Lord Ultraman he saw as invincible had just encountered the greatest life-and-death crisis since the arrival of the 【Faith Game】!
And all of this gave him a new understanding of this group of peak players who were closest to 【Them】.
"A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit..."
However, setting aside his own carelessness, Cheng Shi was not sure whether the scene just now was the result of the players' game on the field, or true 【Fate】 protection...
But even with 【Fate】 protection, he dared not overestimate the influence of his Messenger identity so much again.
"Sure enough, the people in this world who can be trusted are either dead people, or still dead people; that lord still had foresight...
Skulls, perhaps, will never betray."
Seeing Cheng Shi chasing over unscathed, Jiang Chi stopped his steps, his expression extremely solemn.
Just as he was about to say something, Cheng Shi raised his hand with a cold face to stop him.
"Shut up, wait for death, and leave yourself some dignity."
Saying this, Cheng Shi marked everyone present, raised his right hand slightly, and without hesitation, activated 【The Salvation of the Self-Sinner】.
At that instant, everyone's vision fell into darkness.
Cheng Shi smiled self-deprecatingly and thought to himself: Aflos, I've come to bother you again.
