Chapter 583: Lighting the Dream-Peering Candle

Lighting the Dream-Peering Candle

(Thanks to everyone for voting, the eleventh update before the end of the month!!)

Persecution delusion? What persecution delusion?

That Chen Shu in the underground of Eternal Bloom Town didn't have any persecution delusion at all.

Even if he did, it was a beautiful fantasy about the descent of a new god.

Of course, the beauty of 【Chaos】 might be 'not good' for others.

Cheng Shi was stunned. He recalled the words Chen Shu had said to him and associated them with Mo Qiusi's attitude, suddenly realizing that his previous understanding of these two people seemed to differ from the real facts.

So he looked at Chen Shu with confusion, beginning to re-examine this future budding follower of 【Chaos】.

"Did he say what he saw?"

"No." Lideyala shook her head sadly. "That is the biggest problem.

He... denied his teacher Laquis's judgment, believing that the 【Iron Law of Order】 had no problem at all.

And everything that happened to him and Laquis was a smear and jealousy from other judges in the Grand Tribunal regarding his right to succeed as Supreme Judge.

He didn't think He had a problem, but thought His followers had a problem.

They were conquered by the desire for power and made unjust acts contrary to 【Order】, locking him in here on trumped-up charges.

So, after being locked in, Chen Shu's thinking changed. He no longer wanted to investigate 【Order】, but wanted to argue with his benefactor!

He wanted to confront those 'black sheep' who 'framed' him and his teacher in court under the witness of the 【Iron Law of Order】!

He even felt that the Supreme Judges and the Grand Executioner had no problems, but he forgot that the reason he appeared here was that Altair had locked him in with his own hands!

It was precisely because Laquis saw his student become as crazy as Loyat that he truly realized the country of 【Order】 had lost order.

He was desperate..."

"..." Cheng Shi listened with mixed feelings, but still didn't find the key clue.

He didn't want the appearance, but the essence. What exactly made Loyat and Chen Shu become like this?

There was no doubt that the 【Iron Law of Order】 must have done something, but the question was, how did He do it, and what did He do?

Why could He replace 【Order】 and sit on 【Order】's throne, while the gods didn't mention it at all?

Was the true 【Order】 split or dead? What secret was hidden in this that made the gods keep silent?

Cheng Shi wanted to know too much, and he had a way to know right now.

Dream-Peering Candle!

The Dream-Peering Candle that Li Zhen took out just now was the most convenient way to get close to the truth.

Because Chen Shu had faced the 【Iron Law of Order】 face to face, as long as Cheng Shi entered his memory, he would certainly find some clues.

But the problem was, this was very risky.

Because the object of the investigation was a 'Him,' and a 'Him' who had the ability to usurp 【Order】's throne.

They were not illusory images in memory, but real existences, so using this candle to explore the truth was very risky.

But sometimes curiosity is like wild grass that grows madly and can never be eradicated.

Cheng Shi struggled with the candle for a long time, wavering between the greed for information and the steadiness of safety, and finally gritted his teeth, deciding to take a look.

Even if it was just one look, look and leave, never stay.

However, for the sake of insurance, he had to leave some backups. This time, for the sake of the Big Cat's 【Prosperity】 reward, he didn't use the Clown Substitute to come in, so to save his life, he had to be as cautious as possible.

He saw him scatter the dice on his body into every corner of this stone dungeon, and then stuffed several bottles of Past Prosperity into the most convenient places on his body, even stuffing the Verdant Horned Crown in advance, just for fear that the second before danger arrived would be wasted on opening personal space.

After tidying himself up, he checked Li Zhen's state again, and after confirming that the other party had no threat, he walked back to the middle of the dungeon and placed the Dream-Peering Candle at Chen Shu's feet.

"Can I trust you, Lord Lideyala?"

Lideyala was startled. Looking at the candle in Cheng Shi's hand, she seemed to have guessed something. She frowned slightly and nodded with a pale face.

"You can trust me, but here, I can't help you with anything."

"You don't need to do anything specific. Just wake me up in time when the man behind me reacts.

He and I have some conflicts, so I don't want him to disturb me.

Of course, my assistant is also watching him, so I imagine this adventure won't have any big problems."

"What are you going to do?"

"Me? I'm going to look into Chen Shu's memory to see what exactly he found out!" Cheng Shi hooked the corner of his mouth and slowly lit the candle at his feet. "Wait for me for a while. Soon, we will find the answer."

Saying this, he sat cross-legged beside the candle and slowly closed his eyes.

Before long, Cheng Shi's body swayed violently, his head dropped, and he fell into a deep sleep.

And not long after he fell into a dream, Li Zhen, who had been coated with sleeping potion all over his body and even tied into a ball, quietly opened his eyes.

A strange brilliance flashed in his eyes, and a playful smile hooked the corner of his mouth. He just stood up, ignoring the arrow tip of the tree servant Yu Mu, and directly burst open the ropes on his body.

And Yu Mu, who was drawing the bow and aiming at him, seemed not to see the change in the person beneath him, still looking down at the now-empty ground.

Lideyala saw everything, but before she could speak to wake Cheng Shi, she suddenly forgot the agreement she had just made with Cheng Shi and looked at the stranger in front of her with shock.

Her sharp eyes swept around quickly. After discovering that there were too many people who shouldn't be in this dungeon, she frowned slightly and said weakly:

"Who... are you?"

Li Zhen chuckled twice, moved his wrists, walked closer, swept his gaze over the three 'sinners' hanging, and said casually:

"Just a passerby collecting memories everywhere. Thanks for your story, Lideyala, it was wonderful.

Wonderful memories should be remembered."

Lideyala was very confused. She clearly had just discovered that someone had entered the dungeon, so why would the other party say thanks for her story?

Could it be that everything she experienced had been leaked by the Supreme Judge, and even distorted, becoming a laughingstock known to everyone in the Grand Tribunal?

No, they wouldn't dare let the public know!

Lideyala was angry. This unyielding Grand Investigator looked angrily at the person in front of her, wanting to ask something more, but Li Zhen shook his head, reached out, and drew a weird symbol in the air in front of her. Immediately, Lideyala's eyelids sank, and she fell into a deep sleep.

The dungeon fell silent instantly.

And he finally had time to observe this legendary... Weaver of Fate.

"Cheng Shi, interesting."

Li Zhen didn't disturb Cheng Shi's beautiful dream, just paced, walking around the other party circle after circle with light steps, carefully observing every detail of this legendary Weaver of Fate, and then verifying them one by one with the impressions in his memory, making the other party's image more vivid and profound in his mind.

This process was long, but he was very patient.

However, as he watched, he discovered an abnormality, because Cheng Shi's complexion seemed to start turning red gradually.

Hmm?

Did some intense change happen in the dream?

No! The Dream-Peering Candle doesn't have this effect!

Something is wrong!

The moment he discovered the abnormality, he suddenly realized that he had ignored a very important problem, which was that there seemed to be one person's breathing sound missing in this dungeon!

Not counting that corpse-like tree servant, there were five people on the scene, so how could there only be four breathing sounds!?

He was definitely breathing, so who would not breathe when sleeping or unconscious!?

Unconsciousness is uncontrollable, so who else could it be!?

He stopped his steps suddenly and looked at the Weaver of Fate in his sleep in front of him, and just at this moment, the silence in the dungeon was broken by a rapid breath.

"Phew—have you seen enough? If you haven't seen enough, I'm going to suffocate!"

Cheng Shi, sitting on the ground, opened his eyes with a playful face.

He had said he never dreams.

Let alone feigning sleep.
