Chapter 515: Follow, or not follow?

Follow, or not follow?

"Roar—

You know that stinking bitch!?"

Gong Yang was enraged. He had thought this was an invitational match between warriors, but he never expected that while fighting, he would discover this person knew Poison.

Cheng Shi sneered, thinking to himself that the image of deterrence had already been established, so there was no need to keep playing with Mr. Horn.

He raised an eyebrow and said with amusement: "That's right, I do indeed know your mother."

After finishing, he didn't wait for Gong Yang to react; with a "Boom—", he sent the other party away just as he had sent away Jiang Chi.

Of course, the point where Gong Yang was more formidable than Jiang Chi was that he could parasitize fear, so Cheng Shi knew this Count of Screams definitely hadn't died, but had seized the chance to slip into his own ring. But that was fine; this time, he wouldn't have a brain lapse and resurrect the black laborer.

What he needed was a... black laborer who was dead as dead could be.

Seeing a bolt of thunder send away another teammate, the remaining three wore solemn expressions.

In front of a teammate who could defeat peak players at will, to say there was no apprehension in their hearts would be a lie. Whether it was Da Yi or Chameleon, at this moment, both had furrowed brows and serious faces; even Poison's smile had faded quite a bit.

She wanted a powerful collaborator, but the premise was that this collaborator couldn't be too powerful.

Not even half an hour into the start, six players had been beaten by Cheng Shi until only four remained. Such a scene could be understood in a fish-pond match, but it was a bit abnormal in a peak-tier match.

Everyone looked at Cheng Shi with strange eyes. Cheng Shi didn't care about that; he had long since seen through the entire situation and knew what everyone was pursuing. Seeing the three teammates standing in the wind and snow like statues, not daring to move, he smiled and greeted Da Yi:

"Don't be afraid, there's a slight problem with the mission, I'm here to solve it."

As he spoke, he looked at Poison and teased: "Are you afraid too?"

Poison was stunned, then licked the corner of her mouth, smiling meaningfully: "Afraid you aren't hard enough."

Cheng Shi hummed a laugh and ignored her, dragging his body of rotting flesh and bare bones back toward the gate covered in bone patterns, while simultaneously shouting to Chameleon:

"There is only one chance. Everything you want to obtain is inside.

Of course, this is an adventure, because what I say isn't necessarily true.

As for whether you believe it or not, the choice is yours."

After finishing, Cheng Shi didn't leave behind another word of explanation and pushed the door open to walk in. And the moment he entered, he hurriedly took out a bottle of Past Prosperity and gulped it down, slightly accelerating the recovery of his injuries.

This time, he wasn't just recruiting some black laborer; he was confirming one thing: whether Aflos had been affected!

Reasonably speaking, a Messenger situated outside the trial shouldn't be affected, but for the sake of stability, Cheng Shi still had to see it to believe it. Because playing the Foolish Play again was truly too tiring; saying the lines over again wasn't just mentally taxing, the key was that it was also very awkward—the kind of awkward that could make one curl their toes.

Of course, aside from confirming Aflos's state, he had some small plans he could complete while he was at it.

As for whether these plans could proceed smoothly, it would depend on whether the three people outside would cooperate properly.

When Cheng Shi disappeared into that door overflowing with the aura of 【Death】 and 【Filth】, the other three stared at each other, none of them speaking.

The scene quickly fell into silence, but the silence was soon broken.

But the person who broke the silence wasn't Chameleon, whom Cheng Shi had named, but... Poison.

Her eyes shifted slightly as she flashed to the side of that door, carefully examining the gate molded from Jiang Chi's bones, feeling the 【Filth】 aura wandering inside, even eager to jump in and take a look.

But she was very cautious and didn't jump in directly; instead, she turned back to look at Da Yi and asked:

"Da Yi, it seems you know the little priest. What mission do you have?"

"......"

Da Yi's face was livid, and he didn't say a word.

He was indeed shaken, even wondering if the mission in Cheng Shi's mouth was the mission he had received from that lord. After all, this Fate Weaver who looked very much like a warrior had been brought back by Old Hu. If he knew something...

Could he be Hu Wei's subordinate?

Doesn't look like it. How come this attitude, this feeling—it sounds like Old Hu's superior!

Plus this terrifying strength and eerie tone... could he be...

Da Yi's heart was in chaos. For a split second, he even wanted to follow him in to find the answer. So, after hearing Poison's question, he glanced at Poison with a solemn gaze, seemingly wondering what relationship this Cheng Shi, who was related to his mission, had with this 【Filth】 Chosen.

Seeing Da Yi not answering her, Poison turned her head to look at the empty space and hummed with a laugh:

"Hey, are you here to... help whom?

Mr. Horn?

Since when did you get close to him?

The little priest said you want to see the God. Is this the condition Mr. Horn promised you?

You believe this too? Believe a Count of Screams who takes pleasure in cannibalism?

Truly interesting. Desire, it flows silently in everyone's heart, yet it is always labeled with this or that light-avoiding tag, making people ashamed to speak of it.

Everyone wants to see the God. You could completely and openly cooperate with those normal people. Why choose a... paranoid?

I say, you wouldn't be believing in 【Silence】 because of this, right? Then I must properly advise you: why not convert to my Lord?

Forget it, a wooden block is no fun. Where is the little priest taking you?

To see the God?

Which one of those sixteen thrones is inside this door?

He can already see Them at will now? That's a bit too fantastical, doesn't look like... but...

Hey, can you make a sound? If you don't want to go, can I go in your place?"

Poison was just saying this when she saw that Chameleon had long since left his spot and arrived in front of that door.

This silent movement gave Poison a start. A trace of caution flashed in her eyes, but her mouth was still teasing:

"I felt the surge of desire. It seems you want to enter. Then can I follow behind you and take a look?"

Chameleon didn't trust Poison. He neither responded nor approached, just stood stiffly in front of the door, his face changing several times, clearly struggling violently in his heart.

Poison stared at the other party with great interest, even knowing that what she saw was only Chameleon's fake body, but she still wanted to read something from those silent eyes.

She was very curious whether, in the face of desire, a believer of 【Silence】 could resist this temptation.

This scene in front of the door was, to her, simply the best observation point for 【Filth】.

If other 【Filth】 believers were here, seeing a teammate constantly resisting the desire in their heart, they might have started secretly using methods. After all, the will of 【Filth】 is to embrace desire.

But Poison was different. She was never the cause of desire, but the catalyst. She didn't guide, didn't hook, didn't indulge; she was like a quiet passerby, only cheering and applauding the moment you actively embraced desire.

So this scene right now was extremely interesting: this was a silent 【Filth】 believer observing whether a 【Silence】 believer was willing to approach 【Filth】...

Chameleon struggled for a long time. He didn't understand why the other party could see through the relationship between himself and Gong Yang Horn, nor did he understand why the other party could directly see through his heart, knowing he wanted to see the God!

But he seemed to have found a reason for these incomprehensible things, and that was...

Who said the other party must be a player?

Where is there a player at this segment who can casually kill two players of the same rank?

If this existence, whose name was unknown and who was called "little priest" by Poison, was not a player, then everything right now could be explained.

After all, he had encountered such things before. Abilities like peeking into others' hearts, for Them, perhaps, were not difficult.

So, Chameleon, who had struggled for a long time, finally made up his mind. He glanced at Poison not far away, then turned back to look at the motionless Da Yi. With a ruthless heart, in front of the two people, he stepped slowly into that door and instantly disappeared into the pitch-black darkness behind it.

Seeing Chameleon unable to resist his own desire, Poison smiled happily.

But soon she couldn't smile anymore, because the same choice was placed in front of her.

Follow, or not follow?

This was truly a good question filled with the will of 【Filth】. ===== CHAPTER 516 =====
