Chapter 526: How did you come?
How did you come?
Sure enough!
Cheng Shi watched with great interest in the crowd. When he saw that there was also a historian in the unexpectedly appearing team, he almost laughed out loud.
I seem to... have figured out fate a little?
Does this count as using the predetermined path of 【Fate】?
Looking at it this way, my concept of being a person destined by fate can finally be considered justified!
Cheng Shi smiled, but Da Yi beside him was dumbfounded.
"Lord... these people..."
"Aren't you curious how they came?" Cheng Shi asked with a smile.
Da Yi stalled, thinking to himself that he was definitely curious, and he was waiting for you to explain it to him. Listening to your words, it seems you don't know either?
He frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Lord, could it be that They... intervened again?"
Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, wishing he could applaud Da Yi!
What is called understanding the situation!
This is the most comfortable superior-subordinate relationship. As a leader, you don't have to think about anything. With just one look, someone will pave the way for you, and even place the stepping stones at your feet.
Cheng Shi suppressed his laughter and said: "Not bad. I felt the fluctuation of 【Nothingness】. The wheel of 【Fate】 has begun to turn. It seems He has won a move in the game with 【Time】.
There is probably a lucky one in this trial who has received the favor of 【Fate】. But now, this luck is ours.
Of course, you don't need to understand these deep things. Go, catch that clever ghost hiding in the crowd. I will ask him in person what exactly happened."
Da Yi was very confused, but he still nodded heavily and went to take the order. Seeing him leave, Cheng Shi sent a message to Qu Yan, who was still standing in the crowd: "Hide, follow them."
Aside from not being able to be a straight man for Lord Foolish Play, Qu Yan was good at everything. He nodded quietly and agilely mixed into the crowd.
The scene was too chaotic, with constant screams and shouts. But in Da Yi's view, all this was so normal. After all, there was a Messenger of 【Chaos】 on the scene. If there was no chaos where He was, that would be strange.
Actually, in this chaos, many people were calling for the God's messenger, wanting this God's messenger who brought forgiveness to Rosna to take action and solve these invading Annihilators.
But they seemed to have forgotten that from just now, the Rosna Empire had completed its separation from 【Decay】 and was no longer protected by Him.
And when the panicked masses saw the God's messenger in the center of the square leave quietly, the feeling of despair spread rapidly.
Fortunately, there were heroes in every unbearable era. Many Rosna citizens in the square were still willing to stand up and protect this city. They gathered together shouting the army's slogans, even if they had no weapons in their hands, they still bravely formed a human wall and surrounded the remaining three Annihilators.
After seeing this scene, the three players were scared away.
Of course, what scared them away wasn't this group of unsystematic NPCs, but that "God's messenger" who had quietly disappeared, and that high-score assassin hidden in the crowd.
"Did you hear that? They called that black-robed
He is an envoy of 【Decay】, and perhaps even an actual Messenger!
I said that the trial concerning Them couldn't possibly be this easy. We already exploited a huge loophole in the laboratory just now; now, it won't be that simple again. Staying alive is our goal!
Don't think about it anymore."
The bespectacled fatty was very pragmatic. He led the two of them in a frantic escape, charging into a winding alleyway. Seeing no more pursuers behind them, he braced his hands on his knees and gasped for air.
The tall, thin man was also exhausted. He leaned against the wall with his heart pounding like a drum, wiping away cold sweat as he said:
"Otherwise, let's go back. It's too dangerous here. I need to avoid this Glint Iron Thorn and come back secretly by myself next time."
The only female player was stunned by these words, her eyes full of exhaustion as she said:
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?
Not to mention whether we can go back, what would we go back for? Even if we aren't poisoned to death by that Plague Cardinal, could we survive the aftermath of the Grand Marshal clashing with him?
Or are you confident you can dodge the pursuit of that Acrobat?
That's a peak-level match, Cui Hong! Just with you as a Singer, Brother Bao as a Hunter, and me as a Priest, there's simply no way to survive!"
The tall, thin man was choked by her words, but he still stubbornly insisted: "It's dangerous here too. Besides, they can't keep fighting forever. What if they leave..."
"Stop talking. At least that Glint Iron Thorn didn't chase us, which means he really was just protecting his food. As long as we retreat far enough away, our safety should still be guaranteed.
It's just that 【Gift of Scars】... sigh, don't think about it. Being able to see it once is a blessing for you and me."
The tall, thin man wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it, he finally sighed and said nothing more.
The female priest, however, pursed her lips, pulled at her clothes to cover her exposed skin, and said in a rather emotional tone:
"Even if we got it, what would be the use? Who says that so-called 【Gift of Scars】 is necessarily a good thing?"
"You don't understand," the tall, thin man gritted his teeth and said, "The dagger is secondary; the main thing is the Messenger's soul inside! Whoever gets that thing, as long as they please the Messenger within, it might just be a great opportunity right before our eyes!"
The female priest froze, pulled at her hood, and muttered in a low voice: "What if it's a great crisis?"
"..." At this point, the tall, thin man didn't even want to refute her. He looked helplessly at his teammate in front of him and said with frustration, "Since you have no interest in this dagger, why on earth did you end up queued with us, Nangong!"
"I..." Nangong's gaze hardened, and she lowered her head without speaking.
The scene finally quieted down. Seeing that the two were no longer arguing, the bespectacled fatty coughed lightly and began to lead the way. He didn't know where this was, but he knew they should get as far away from that plaza as possible. So, relying on a hunter's instinct, he led the two toward the outskirts. As for the other teammate left behind in the plaza, the three of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention him at all.
After they left, Qu Yan gradually materialized from another small alley. He had heard every word of the three's conversation, frowned thoughtfully, and then continued to follow them without a sound.
At the same time, on the other side.
Da Yi quickly caught the Announcer of Destruction who had blended into the crowd. This 【Annihilation】 Singer didn't even notice Da Yi before he was knocked unconscious by a single hand-blade strike, and was carried back to Cheng Shi like a chick.
At this time, Cheng Shi was staying in the room where the First Imperial Prince had hidden. His widow and children were long gone. Seeing Da Yi bring the person, he smiled and used the cold tip of a scalpel to wake up this unlucky fellow.
The Announcer of Destruction felt intense pain and snapped his eyes open. Before he could scream, another iron thorn pressed against his throat. He understood the "rules" well and instantly shut his mouth, but cold sweat dripped from his forehead like raindrops, and his bright red lips were pressed pale.
"Very good. Being willing to listen is the first step to friendly cooperation.
Now I ask and you answer. Don't try to lie; I can smell the scent of lies.
If you answer incorrectly, you will probably meet your colleague again in that Lord's hall."
Cheng Shi smiled and took two steps back, looking at the Announcer of Destruction, who was stiff and tense to the extreme in front of him, and asked his first question out of curiosity.
"How did you come here? I mean, to this era of the Luo Sina Empire."
The man endured the pain and opened his mouth tremblingly.
"Teleportation array... We deconstructed the space-time connection of the teleportation array and transmitted back here!"
