Chapter 560

Squinty... Old Zhang!!?

"Good!

As long as you can control him, leave the rest to me."

Cheng Shi was amused: "Have you been eyeing him for a long time? Do you have ideas?"

"Mm, a hunter's five senses are stronger than other professions, especially a hunter with Yu Mu's score; his perception is terrifyingly sharp.

Although I don't lack these things, having one more pawn that can perceive the environment is never a bad thing."

"Why does it sound like you intend to refine him into a puppet?"

"Something like that. In the treasury of 【Prosperity】, there are some soul contracts with effects so bizarre that even I can't bear to look at them. I haven't tried them yet; it's just right to use him to test them.

Speaking of which, Cheng Shi, hurry up and pray, take your things away."

My things?

What things?

Cheng Shi was stunned and immediately remembered one thing. Initially, before crashing into that 【Birth】 trial, he had intended to pray for a 【Prosperity】 trial and get an item that increases mental power from Big Cat.

As a result, after all the twists and turns until now, he had already participated in two trials, and he still hadn't received the item.

"..."

Cheng Shi gave a wry smile, nodded, and said: "Okay, I'll pray in a while. Forget it, come with me; it just so happens I'll take you to a place and introduce you to an interesting new friend."

"An interesting new friend?" Xiang Honglin raised an eyebrow and said in surprise, "By the sound of it, this person has a story?"

A story?

If the fact that I gave birth to myself counts as a story and not an accident, then yes, there is a story.

"You'll know when you get there.

By the way, let me ask you about someone; there's a player named Lin Renyu, have you heard of him?"

Xiang Honglin on the other end of the phone chuckled and immediately replied: "Him? What, did you run into him?"

"Looks like you know him. I didn't run into him, I heard it from someone else's mouth; I'm very curious about what kind of person he is."

"A Lawless Pianist who didn't make it into the top ten but is quite famous."

Lawless Pianist!

【Chaos】!

Sure enough, this Lin Renyu, whom Da Yi had mentioned, is also a 【Chaos】 person.

Ha, so the clue that the Grand Marshal is a 【Chaos】 believer had long been buried in these traces; the fisherman killed by Hu Xuan, this Lin Renyu whom Da Yi talked about every day, plus Da Yi who played the role of Xiguang Iron Thorn... these three people are all high-scoring 【Chaos】 members. Thinking about it this way, isn't that campfire camp where the four gathered just a night meeting of 【Chaos】?

Unfortunately, even though everyone was known to everyone, under the obfuscation of 【Chaos】, no one could find any clues at all.

As expected of 【Chaos】, they really play it fancy.

Cheng Shi smacked his lips in admiration and asked again: "Judging by your tone, this 'fame' doesn't seem very good. Tell me about it?"

Xiang Honglin laughed out loud:

"His fame was given by Chen Shu.

Earlier, this person wasn't well-known and liked to play other people, but later he was matched with Chen Shu, and Chen Shu saw through the clues.

Although Chen Shu is very annoying, I have to admit that 【Silence】 believers are indeed good at observing. He saw through Lin Renyu's identity and played the other party in reverse, creating chaos in the Carter Court, so much so that the capital of this Grand Court of Judgment directly issued a law to hunt down this Lawless Pianist.

Coincidentally, there was also a 【Memory】 believer in that trial; under Chen Shu's coercion, he even wrote this law into history...

Later, well, you can guess; although Lin Renyu killed that 【Memory】 believer to vent his anger, he didn't have the ability to kill Chen Shu, so after that, he always used Chen Shu's name to create chaos everywhere.

This person is very shrewd; even if he isn't among the top peak players, you should be careful if you run into him."

"..."

A Lawless Pianist who likes to cause trouble under the name "Chen Shu"?

Huh?

Could it be... him?

Cheng Shi's expression became exceptionally colorful. He recalled it for a long time and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was him, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hearing the laughter, Xiang Honglin said in surprise: "What?"

"Nothing, no need to be careful, you'll never meet him again."

"?" Xiang Honglin was stunned; she didn't understand for a moment, "What's the situation?"

"Nothing, I seem to have seen him; he was killed by someone, killed by a very powerful person. As for who that person who killed him is... I didn't see clearly."

"Oh, I get it, what is the surname of that very powerful person? Same as yours?"

"..." No, sister, you're quite cute when you're a bit slow sometimes, don't be too smart.

Cheng Shi was dumbfounded. He felt he had talked too much because he was happy, but this wasn't worth dwelling on. So much time had passed, plus the effect of 【Floating Dream of Memory】, probably no one knew who killed that Lawless Pianist.

Besides, even if they knew, there was nothing they could do, because now the murderer is not just a Fate-Weaver, he is also Lord Ultraman, the Messenger of 【Chaos】, Lord Ultraman!

"I always feel like your laughter is sneaky. Alright, that's about all the news. It's 2:26 now, let's synchronize our time. At 3:00 sharp, I will pray right on time. The content of the prayer will be the 【Prosperity】 prayer plus a simple trial where I run into you. Don't break your promise, Cheng Shi, I'm waiting to meet that new friend."

After speaking, Big Cat hung up the phone cleanly.

Cheng Shi looked at the hung-up phone in his hand and smiled, feeling that the meeting between Big Cat and Avlos could spark new flames.

He decided to take Big Cat to see this dual-Messenger not just to deal with Yu Mu; simply dealing with a player wouldn't warrant pulling strings for Big Cat, who had inherited the authority of 【Prosperity】. This trip was mainly to find a guide for Big Cat.

Big Cat has come into contact with many secrets at that level, but she will also have more doubts. She cannot ask a true god for advice at any time, and no god will spare time to answer her questions, so if she wants to understand more divine secrets and upper-level rules, finding an intelligence window with a similar status is particularly important.

And Avlos, as a temporary "ally," will definitely be able to handle this "job."

Of course, if there were other choices, Cheng Shi would definitely consider them, but the problem is that his accumulation of connections only consists of a prisoner locked up by 【Time】. Other than that, he has no other Messenger "friends."

Hu Xuan counts as half, but her accumulation is not even as much as Big Cat's original.

Thinking about it this way, meeting Avlos is a helpless move.

Sigh, still lacking "friends"...

There are already enough friends of 【Life】, 【Sinking】 is not easy to approach, and 【Chaos】 is even more insane. Thinking it over, only 【Civilization】 can squeeze out a few friend slots.

But the problem is...

Why haven't I heard of any subordinate gods of 【Civilization】?

It's really strange. Next time I run into Avlos, I must ask this question properly.

Just as he was thinking, new changes appeared on the roof in front of Cheng Shi.

He saw a small door connected by thin bones suddenly open in the mid-air, which was as thick as ink. Before long, a stark white little skull hopped out of the door and fell down. The little skull rolled on the ground a few times, finally managed to flip over, and hopped around, staring with a pair of empty eye sockets, carefully examining everything around it.

This scene left Cheng Shi stunned.

No, you're coming again? Didn't that Lord just summon me?

Also, why does this little bone servant look so clever? Is it conscious?

Just as Cheng Shi was looking at the skull in confusion, wondering what message it would bring, the little skull spoke seriously:

"Although standing high allows you to see far, you also have to bear the risk of being easily knocked down by the wind. Cheng Shi, why do you live in such an unstable place?"

"!!!"

Cheng Shi was shocked. He looked at the skull in front of him in disbelief and said, dumbfounded:

"Squinty... Old Zhang?

Did you get plastic surgery? Why have your eyes become so big?"

"?"

Hearing this, the little skull stopped hopping instantly.
