Chapter 577

An old friend under the dungeon.

Chenosli!

This believer of the 【Chaos】 sprout who left a shocking impression on him, is he actually still in the Grand Tribunal at this time, and is locked on the lowest level of the Howling Iron Prison?

You must know that he was once a first-level judge. What kind of crime could make a first-level judge who was in the spotlight be imprisoned in such a place where only death row inmates would stay?

Cheng Shi frowned slightly, inevitably recalling the words Chenosli had said to him. At that time, the other party's meaning was very clear: he was being treated unfairly and suppressed from within. Looking at it this way, the Grand Tribunal's suppression of him... was too much.

Is he about to be executed?

Oh no, am I the one who is going to let him go?

Cheng Shi's gaze condensed, and he suddenly hesitated in his heart. This irresistible sense of fate made him feel a little scared. He seemed to see the only gap left on the ring composed of 【Time】 again, and when he filled this gap in the near future...

He raised his hand and looked at the 【Time of Eternal Imprisonment】 on his hand.

... Time is about to close the loop again.

I saved Chenosli, and even possibly brought the first wisp of 【Chaos】 will to him, and then he left the Grand Tribunal, went underground, met a group of people who were away from home with the same will, became a believer of the 【Chaos】 sprout, and met his past self at Eternal Bloom Town, pushing himself to the forefront and becoming... Ultraman, that Messenger recognized by 【Chaos】 himself.

Seamless, perfect to the extreme.

So, how many gods are involved in this game?

What roles do 【Fate】 and 【Time】 play in this?

Besides moving forward, do the chess pieces have any other choices?

Cheng Shi frowned deeply and stopped. As he stopped in front of the four people and fell silent, the four teammates who were still waiting for redemption all held their breath and didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the big shot's thoughts.

He pondered for a long time and finally decided to go down and take a look.

This was not a compromise to the "behind-the-scenes pusher," nor was it giving up other choices, but he felt that there were some things he needed to understand in depth.

Without seeing the whole picture, one cannot comment.

Just like the 【Order】 in the mouth of this tall, thin teammate.

Cheng Shi knew that 【Order】 had a problem and had been stolen by the so-called 【Order Iron Law】, but whether this 【Order Iron Law】 backstabbed its Benefactor with the identity granted by the 【Order】 god or was replaced by other existences, he currently had no information.

Coupled with the truth of 【Order】 mentioned by the investigator, perhaps this teammate really had big news about them in his hands.

Just based on this rare intelligence, it was enough for him to take a risk.

Not to mention that Big Cat was by his side, so even if there was danger, there was someone to carry it.

So Cheng Shi hardened his heart and jumped into the "trap" that seemed to have been dug by them in advance.

He extended his 【Decay】 hand with a blank expression, tore off the chains that imprisoned the investigator, and then released the other three one by one, collecting some dispensable "ransom" in the panicked eyes of these few people.

After doing all this, Cheng Shi asked with a serious expression:

"Among you, who is a believer of 【Memory】?"

"..." The four people looked at each other, not knowing what the big shot meant for a while, but listening to the feeling, the other party seemed to be very repulsive to 【Memory】.

They looked at each other, calculating their respective identities: a fighting expert, an investigator, a Scarred Eye, a Bell Ringer. There was 【Truth】, there was 【Order】, there was 【Decay】, there was 【Death】, but there was no 【Memory】.

"None?

Very good. Then change the question: who has 【Memory】 items on them?

If you do, I hope you can honestly hand them over. Otherwise, once I know you have hidden something, sorry, I can only tie you back up."

This cold-faced threat really scared the four people enough. The other three shook their heads frantically to indicate that they really didn't have any 【Memory】 means. Only the investigator turned pale and said cautiously:

"I... I have a Dream-Peering Candle, which is used to investigate the truth..."

"..."

How could it be you?

Who exactly pushed you to my side?

Cheng Shi looked at him with slightly cold eyes and asked with a gloomy face: "Only a Dream-Peering Candle, no other items to rewrite history?"

"No, absolutely not!

Big shot, you have to believe me. I am an investigator. I hate those who change history at will the most, because tampering with history will definitely annihilate the already scarce historical clues, making our investigation unsustainable.

I swear I only have a Dream-Peering Candle, absolutely no other 【Memory】 items!"

Cheng Shi glanced at him sideways, nodded, and then took out a blank A4 paper.

"This is a clown contract of 【Fraud】. Sign your names on it. If you use any power of 【Memory】 without my consent before this trial ends, then the consequences...

Heh, you wouldn't want to know."

The four people looked at this outrageous blank A4 paper, and their brains were stunned for a moment.

Can this white paper also be a contract?

Isn't it bluffing?

However, the big shot said this is a contract of 【Fraud】?

Hmm, that might very well be true.

The Fun God, you know, can come up with such absurd items.

The four people signed their names with their fingers dipped in blood with different expressions. Because the investigator's arms were broken and he couldn't exert force, Cheng Shi had to throw him a bottle of healing potion to heal his hands first.

The investigator said thank you nervously and then firmly wrote down his name.

"Li Zhen."

The truth of true and false.

Cheng Shi glanced at his name, silently put away the contract, and walked toward the lower level of the dungeon without hesitation. Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, looked at the teammates around him, and hurried to follow.

Others seemed to want to follow, as it was much safer in front of the big shot than staying by themselves, but before they could move their feet, Cheng Shi decisively rejected them.

"Don't follow me. I don't have time to be a babysitter. You can fend for yourselves before the trial ends.

But I'll kindly remind you, don't think about going up either, otherwise be careful of being slapped to death by a bear."

As soon as the words fell, while the other three were full of question marks and still wondering why there would be a bear here, Cheng Shi had already disappeared with the investigator.

The Tree Servant followed closely, and the three of them were strung together in a line, walking on the dark stairs leading to the lower level, all silent.

It was called stairs, but it was actually more like a tunnel.

These stairs were not like those in ordinary buildings where you could see the upper and lower levels. The connection between each level of the dungeon was more like a staggered corridor. Under the cover of the walls, the three of them could only see the corner in front, and could only see the next path down after turning a thick wall.

And losing the vision on both sides made people feel very depressed. The narrowness of the space, coupled with the gradually dimming lights on the walls, made the atmosphere of the descent become increasingly weird.

The thumping footsteps echoed in the empty stairwell, like a thriller drumbeat that made people panic.

Of course, Cheng Shi was not afraid, because he was walking in the middle of the team, the investigator was opening the way, and the Dusk Hunter was bringing up the rear. He, the strongest combat power, was well protected.

Looking at the endless tunnel under his feet, Cheng Shi gradually frowned. He even wondered if he had already stepped into the trap of 【Order】 and gone astray.

No, he couldn't continue walking like this. Let the Tree Servant go down and scout the path first!

Just as Cheng Shi was about to drive Yu Mu to walk in front, Li Zhen in front of him suddenly stopped and said nervously: "We're here."

"?"

Cheng Shi instinctively took a step back, pushed Yu Mu to the front, and cautiously examined the solid walls on the left and right of the stairs, saying in a deep voice:

"Investigator, you seem to have many secrets that you are still hiding from me."

Li Zhen's face turned pale, and he said with some panic:

"Big shot, I didn't hide anything from you.

The reason I didn't tell you the location of the dungeon in advance is because I just found out too!

I learned about the last level of the Howling Iron Prison from the judges of the Tribunal. It is not at the end of the dungeon stairs, but in the... wall next to a certain step.

I don't know which step it is, but I felt the 【Order】 power permeating from this wall, so I think... it should be here.

Right in front of us!"

As he spoke, he took out an arrow, the tip of which emitted a wisp of pure 【Order】 power. Under the resonance of this wisp of 【Order】 power, a wall beside them quietly turned into transparent light and shadow, dissipating faintly, revealing a huge underground stone prison inside.

And in the center of this stone prison, there were three prisoners in complete clothing, tightly bound by chains condensed from the holy light of 【Order】, hanging high in mid-air.

One of them was Cheng Shi's old friend, the first-level judge of the Grand Tribunal, the believer of the 【Chaos】 sprout, Chenosli.
