Reunion After a Long Separation

(To thank everyone for their votes and support, this is the first of ten extra updates before the end of the month)

Da Yi didn't understand why the Lord did this, but he knew he didn't need to understand, so he casually threw a healing potion to this unlucky fellow.

The Announcer of Destruction was stunned. He had never thought that the other party would actually let him go. He looked at the potion in his hand in disbelief, then looked up at Cheng Shi, wanting to say something, but couldn't open his mouth.

Cheng Shi hummed and laughed:

"You didn't lie, so from now on, you are free.

Go, find your teammates, or find a place to hide and wait for the trial to end, or go witness the grand spectacle of 【Annihilation】 you want to witness.

Kannar City is big enough for you to wander around for a while."

The Announcer of Destruction's heart tightened for a moment. He realized that the other party really wanted to let him go, but after witnessing the strength of these two, especially the temperament of this mysterious person in charge, a bold idea suddenly arose in his heart.

He didn't want to leave anymore.

The other party was clearly also a player. Since both sides were players, why go find a bunch of low-scoring losers instead of hugging the thighs of high-scoring big shots?

So he shook his head extremely firmly, then nodded fiercely, and said to Cheng Shi with an attitude of wanting to prove his sincerity:

"Big brother, I want to... hang out with you guys, is that okay?"

"..."

"..."

Cheng Shi blinked and almost laughed out loud again.

The young man has some insight, but the problem is, if you hang around me and don't leave, where am I going to find the 【Gift of Scars】?

Da Yi sneered, directly starting to look at people sideways. That disdainful look clearly said: Damn it, what status do you have to follow the Lord with me?

The Announcer of Destruction saw the other party's attitude of refusal, but he still wanted to try. Cheng Shi, however, didn't waste much time and pointed to the window:

"Throw him out, we're leaving too."

Saying this, he lifted his foot and walked toward the outside of the house.

Da Yi took the order and threw the person out the window directly, then followed Cheng Shi and gradually walked into the blizzard, but it wasn't long before his figure disappeared again.

As for the Announcer of Destruction who was thrown out the window, he was lying in the alley at this time, looking at the narrow sky filled with wind and snow above his head, lost in thought.

He felt that he had experienced too much in these two days. High-end players he had never even seen before appeared one after another. Their world was so wonderful, and they could even fight back and forth with famous figures in history. Even the items related to Them were something they had the strength to covet.

Looking at himself...

Other than smashing, grabbing, and burning in this apocalypse to vent his desire for destruction on a bunch of inanimate objects, he had never accomplished anything. To live life to this point was too much of a failure.

In the past, his teammates were all players of the same rank, so this sense of frustration wasn't strong. But today, having repeatedly suppressed his nature for destruction and acting like a grandson everywhere, this intense emotional impact and sense of grievance caused him to break down.

"No, I can't go on like this in a daze. I have to do something big to prove myself!"

Thinking this, he shouted twice at the sky filled with snowflakes, then quickly climbed up and walked toward the outside of the alley.

"I have to know what happened here first, and then, leave a big news story for this piece of history!"

The Announcer of Destruction left, and after he left, on the roof next to the alley, Da Yi spat impatiently.

"Damn it, dawdling. If the Lord hadn't ordered to keep an eye on him, it would be better to just kill him."

After speaking, his figure flickered and he followed again.

Now, the three "native players" in this trial were divided into three paths. The 【Silent】 Hunter tracked the three variables, the 【Chaos】 Assassin tailed another variable, and one variable died in the plaza. And at this time, what Cheng Shi had to do was to resurrect him, and then make this immobile variable move again.

As the trial reached this point, he didn't want to bet that the only opportunity wouldn't happen to that Annihilation Apostle. So for the sake of stability, it was better to let this reckless fellow work overtime for a while.

So he rushed to the plaza, found the pile of minced meat that had been frozen into frozen meat, gently pricked the other party with the iron thorn he got from Da Yi, and then hid outside the plaza, put on his horn crown to hide his figure, and cast a healing spell with the aura of revival at the minced meat.

The Annihilation Apostle soon automatically pieced his corpse together and came back to life. The moment he opened his eyes, the cold sweat all over his body had almost soaked through all his clothes.

Cold, the biting wind!

But compared to the physical sensation, his heart was even colder.

He suddenly woke up and realized that this trial wasn't simple either. The legendary dagger 【Gift of Scars】 was simply not something he could covet.

But fortunately, although the other party killed him, they also resurrected him. It seemed that the other party had no malice, just warning him not to have any ideas about the dagger.

After figuring this out, He Zu immediately fled using the shadows of the wind and snow. He didn't dare to stay for a moment, just wanting to leave this place that had once caused him to be annihilated.

Cheng Shi watched the other party leave with a smile, thinking that from now on, he just needed to pay attention to the whereabouts of these five people at all times. Da Yi could find the scent of his iron thorns, so Cheng Shi didn't need to go out himself for tracking.

Of course, as the controller of the situation, he couldn't pin all his hopes on these five variables. What other clues were hidden in this vast Kannar City, what state the teleportation array was in now, and whether the Grand Marshal and the others who didn't chase over might still come back—these were all things he needed to confirm.

So, Cheng Shi hid in the wind and snow again to look for more clues.

Kannar City, which had been in chaos all day, fell silent again. Panicked citizens gathered in groups or went home separately, hiding in their rooms and not daring to come out. Warriors who spontaneously called for assembly blocked the gate of the Imperial Court to petition for battle. The Luo Sina royal family hadn't appeared since the God's Messenger descended today. Although many people felt that the God's Messenger's thunder had cleared out the unfaithful royal family, they still hoped that someone would stand up—at least someone who knew how to lead troops in battle—to lead them to defend their home.

They didn't know this was a fantasy, but just like the history of faith in the Luo Sina Empire, these warriors were still trying blindly.

Old Jialun's corpse was lying on the high wall of the Imperial Court at this time. A large piece of muscle skin was missing from his chest and abdomen, and the flesh that should have been bright red was now frozen pale. This historian who wanted to die with his child ultimately failed to fulfill his wish, but at least after death, his corpse witnessed the last courage of the Luo Sina Empire.

Cheng Shi walked into the Imperial Court again in this eerie atmosphere, walking straight toward the former residence of the First Imperial Prince.

He had never been to the secret room he had heard about from others countless times. At this moment, he needed to see it with his own eyes to see if there were any traces of other clues there.

But just as he arrived at the door of the First Imperial Prince's sleeping quarters, he heard rustling sounds coming from inside.

Cheng Shi's gaze hardened, and he stopped quietly. He tilted his head slightly to listen carefully, but just happened to find a powerless arrow falling from the distant sky, "floating" gently toward him.

This was the method the 【Silent】 Hunter had agreed upon for communication. Cheng Shi took down the arrow with light hands and feet, then felt along the arrow shaft and touched two lines of small characters.

The first line wrote the tracking situation: "Three people want to hide in a room, the priest seeks an opportunity to escape, direction of the Imperial Court, target not lost."

The second line wrote a name: "Withered Priest, Nangong."

"?"

Cheng Shi was stunned, and then the corners of his mouth curled up.

This name, why did it suddenly remind him of an old friend?
