Chapter 630: The shocking truth behind the Commoner Assembly

The shocking truth behind the Commoner Assembly

However, these things weren't important. What he wanted was never for Cheng Shi to admit any behavior, but to experience the other party's attitude. As long as this Fate-Weaver didn't deny the fact that he helped people, it already proved that he at least wasn't a bad person.

And with the deepening of the exchange, the Blind Man felt more and more that Cheng Shi was more suitable for the Fire-Passers.

Of course, Cheng Shi also wasn't without gains in this Q&A. At least his test was effective.

The trial process he fabricated wasn't refuted by the Blind Man, which meant the Blind Man knew nothing about that trial of the Fire-Passers; he only knew that he had helped the Fire-Passers.

So, all the answers were at that Commoner Assembly, and the breakthrough was his attitude toward Cui Qiushi!

Cheng Shi felt a chill in his heart, secretly warning himself that next time he encountered someone whose memory had disappeared, he couldn't show strange behavior unilaterally again.

"Is it my turn again now?"

The Blind Man nodded slightly:

"I know what you want to know. You don't need to ask; I'll tell you directly.

Commoner Assembly, all the answers are in that Commoner Assembly.

That gathering, we guessed, was probably initiated by some 【Dementia】 believer, but in the end, it was used by the Fire-Passers to set a trap.

We decorated that rusted stage with dreams, and then..."

The Blind Man didn't hide anything. He told the story of what happened in that Commoner Assembly exactly as it was, and even until the end, when Cheng Shi pulled everything visible into Ge Lis's resentment, the story that hadn't ended was also explained clearly by him!

Even after Qin Xin and the Blind Man left, the appearance of Old Deng and the return of Chen Shu were all told clearly!

Yes, he even knew what happened after Qin Xin and he "left."

"Qin Xin's perception is far sharper than mine. He told me with his eyes during the exchange that there were others present at the scene, so we pretended to retreat, exchanging for the final space to let the person hidden behind the scenes appear.

It's just that we didn't expect the person hidden in the crowd to be him, the Divine Choice of 【Time】, Old Deng.

It's not that I don't want to call his name, but this person called himself 'Ben Deng' from beginning to end, and no one ever knew his real name.

He appeared and was scared away by Chen Shu, but at that time the dream of 【Memory】 hadn't dissipated. We made a pocket outside the dream and caught him, who was fleeing, at the first opportunity... and Chen Shu, who followed him off the stage.

The name of the Fire-Passers, unless it's a Salary-Seeker, is never passed on. So we had to solve the matter of them knowing about the organization. Of course, before the conflict occurred, considering the other party's strength, we were also willing to use a gentle way to reconcile the contradiction.

Qin Xin provided them with two tubes of Remembrance of the Past, but Old Deng and Chen Shu both refused to use them.

However, the attitudes of the two were also quite different.

Chen Shu..."

When mentioning this name again, the Blind Man paused for a few seconds for some reason, and then continued with a strange expression, "Chen Shu said he had a better way to solve this matter and didn't need to make himself lose his memory. After considering for a long time, Qin Xin agreed to the method he mentioned."

"..." Hearing this, Cheng Shi had already started to be speechless.

This name simply had a kind of magic; hearing it alone could make people silent for a while. He could even imagine how Chen Shu made Qin Xin and the Blind Man accept his solution in silence.

Hiss—

He wouldn't... want to join the Fire-Passers, would he?

"He chose to join the Fire-Passers." The Blind Man said with a complex tone.

"..."

What did I say!

Cheng Shi was numb.

As expected of the Divine Choice of 【Silence】 plus the second unluckiest, this brain circuit was simply amazing!

The Blind Man paused for a long time before continuing: "But Old Deng refused all plans. He wasn't prepared to forget all this and attempted to break out of the dream laid by Qin Xin.

So, helplessly, we, um, and Chen Shu, worked together to kill him."

"A Divine Choice, just died like that?" Cheng Shi still couldn't believe it. He even wanted to switch back to 【Fate】 to see if the top of the Ladder of Audience was really gone.

"Not yet. The arrival of the special trial allowed him to luckily pick up a few days of time.

But as soon as this trial ends, he will definitely die.

This is the predetermined in 【Fate】, the demise in 【Silence】, and the forgetting in 【Memory】."

Looking at Cheng Shi, who was serious, the Blind Man laughed again: "I think I've been sincere enough. Cheng Shi, what about you?"

"Me what?" Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, glanced at the pocket watch in his hand, and found that the next hour was about to arrive, so he directly took out a scalpel and wiped it toward the Blind Man's neck.

Out of respect for the Fire-Passers, this strike had no force; it was purely for caution. And the Blind Man didn't even dodge, "looking" at Cheng Shi's eyes and smiling:

"You are very similar to the Fire-Passers, except you refuse to admit it with your mouth, while we are consistent in heart and mouth.

Cheng Shi, join us. You don't have to treat the Fire-Passers as a burden; you can completely..."

"What is Qin Xin's identity?" Cheng Shi's scalpel stopped in front of the Blind Man's neck. He couldn't determine whether one party not fighting back could be considered a conflict, so he could only turn the wipe into a strike, turning the handle of the knife and tapping it lightly on the Blind Man's shoulder.

Although this didn't use much force, the Blind Man was still knocked staggering.

His face darkened instantly, and just as he wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Cheng Shi with a smile:

"Sorry, caution is better.

I mean his identity among the Fire-Passers."

The Blind Man furrowed his brow slightly, then sighed, didn't flare up because of this, but just answered silently: "If you want to know, you can go ask him yourself."

"He wouldn't be the founder of the Fire-Passers, would he?

A believer of 【Memory】, founding an organization that opposes Them?

Why, does he want to offer this blasphemous memory to his 'terrible' benefactor?"

The Blind Man "looked" at Cheng Shi with a strange expression: "You don't need to bluff me, and I won't respond. I've said enough today. Can these secrets move you?"

"Hmm, almost, just a little bit short." Cheng Shi hummed with a laugh, appearing not to feel that he had taken all the advantage at all, but instead thick-skinned and continuing to pursue: "I'm very curious, what did you mean by 'I can trust you in this trial' just now?"

The Blind Man seemed to have guessed long ago that Cheng Shi would ask this. He smiled and took a long, thin needle tube from the space.

"It's this. Regardless of whether you choose to join or not, after this trial, Qin Xin and I will continue to use this unused Remembrance of the Past.

This isn't deliberate forgetting, but the persistence of the Fire-Passers' respect for those who help the Fire-Passers and the other Salary-Seeker.

So before I forget that you have an inextricable connection with the Fire-Passers, I naturally trust you, Cheng Shi.

But if I forget all this..."

Cheng Shi curled the corner of his mouth and shook his head: "If I choose to join, and you forget everything about me, then how should I prove my identity to you?"

"Proof of Fire-Passing." The Blind Man's expression became serious. He threw a bright flame emblem from his sleeve and showed it to Cheng Shi for a moment, "I will give you the Proof of Fire-Passing to prove your identity. When the Fire-Passers see this emblem, they will know you are a trustworthy... one of our own.

So Cheng Shi, have you... decided?"

"Hmm, I've decided!" Cheng Shi's expression changed many times, and finally became incomparably serious.

The Blind Man suddenly raised his head, and the eyes bound by the black cloth seemed to radiate expectant light. "You..."

"I've decided to listen to you and go to the lava crystal mines outside the town to take a look.

Let's go, let's go right now!"

As he spoke, Cheng Shi took the lead, striding out against the dry breeze in the alley.

"..."

The Blind Man was stunned, but soon laughed out loud.

"This Fate-Weaver is truly... a strange person." ===== CHAPTER 631 =====
