Chapter 631: Prison, prison again

Prison, prison again

Although Cheng Shi appeared relaxed on the surface, he was actually incredibly solemn inside.

Although the Blind Man had revealed many truths and news he hadn't known, his doubts were far greater than the truths he knew today.

Why did the Blind Man suddenly recruit him? His reaction seemed different from the one on the phone that day. In Cheng Shi's consistent cognition, this should be a rather cold and mysterious woman, but seeing him today, he was quite lively, and even did some tentative operations.

Was it just because everything that happened at the Commoner Assembly confirmed his identity, so he had a change of view toward him?

But the problem was, if the Blind Man was a member of the Fire-Passers, what about Zhen Xin?

With the intimate attitude they were rumored to have, would he tell Zhen Xin about the existence of this organization?

Or, would Zhen Xin tell him about the existence of this organization!?

Cheng Shi hadn't forgotten that Zhen Yi had flipped through his memories. Although she didn't mention the Fire-Passers at all when playing Cheng Dashi, who could guess whether it was the God of Amusement, the protector of the Fire-Passers, who erased her cognition of the Fire-Passers, or if this strange-minded Trickster Master chose to watch the fun because he felt the God of Amusement's attitude.

This person and god were both hard to guess.

So for Cheng Shi, the time node of the Blind Man joining the Fire-Passers was critical.

If he learned about the existence of the Fire-Passers from Zhen Xin, then their purpose in getting close to the Fire-Passers had to be carefully considered.

But if he joined the Fire-Passers first, and then he encountered Zhen Yi in that round, then the Blind Man before his eyes was more worthy of trust.

In short, he had to be vigilant about whether the Fire-Passers had any entanglement or connection with that 【Fraud】 Divine Choice.

Zhen Xin might not be terrible, but Zhen Yi's uncertainty was too strong.

She might not expose the God of Amusement's protection out of respect the next second, but the second after that, she might make the Fire-Passers famous. No one could predict what she would do, and no matter what she was doing, it could be counted as fun, and could be counted as an offering to Him.

This was the most headache-inducing part.

What was even more headache-inducing was that now "chaos" could also be counted as a kind of "fun," and pulling out the name of the Fire-Passers was undoubtedly a huge chaos.

The only thing Cheng Shi wanted to know now was whether Zhen Xin had any means to control Zhen Yi.

There were too many things to consider. He had the heart to continue asking, wanting to check for this organization that guarded beauty, but he didn't want to get too deeply involved with them.

Fortunately, the Blind Man said they would eventually use that tube of Remembrance of the Past, which meant that as long as this trial ended, he would return to the state of being inconspicuous among the Fire-Passers.

And this was also the state Cheng Shi liked and felt most comfortable in—the two sides not disturbing each other, each safe and sound.

However, after learning so much about the Fire-Passers, it wasn't completely without benefits. At least in this round, he had one more person he could trust.

The Blind Man definitely wouldn't be an enemy. As for that Qin Xin, who was also a Fire-Passer, perhaps he needed to look again. He didn't not believe in the Fire-Passers; he just felt that the other party's scrutiny of the Blind Man was a bit strange, and the other party seemed to be able to see through lies.

Cheng Shi walked while thinking, and before long, he passed that inn where the trial descended again. After asking a few questions to people at the door, he turned and walked in another direction.

The Blind Man had been following silently behind. It wasn't until he saw Cheng Shi walking toward the town center again that he furrowed his brow in confusion, hurried to catch up, and walked side by side:

"The road outside the town is in the opposite direction. Why are you circling back to the town center again?"

Cheng Shi smiled mysteriously, not rushing to answer, but while walking, he casually examined the dilapidated scenery in this old town. A sense of inexplicable familiarity was always surging in his heart, but he couldn't match it at all with the scenery before his eyes.

Where exactly had he heard of this place?

His gaze swept across the surroundings again, seeing that the architectural style of the earth houses and mud rooms by the street wasn't familiar, the red small ball flowers planted high and low in front of the houses were also a variety he had never heard of, the clothes of various styles and materials hanging outside the doors and in the courtyards had local characteristics but were rarely seen elsewhere, and the different races of people coming and going with joy or sorrow on the street... they came and went in a hurry, their expressions vivid but without any memorable memory points, looking like passersby here.

Passersby? Temporary stay?... Travelers?

Cheng Shi furrowed his brow, pondered for a long time without a clue, and simply stopped thinking about it, focusing on the present.

"I suddenly changed my mind. Since you understand this place and know that the mine will have clues, then I think that 【Truth】 believer must also know something.

Splitting up was to increase efficiency. I believe he and Qin Xin will find the key you mentioned, so we don't need to join the fun. I have a better place to go, and that place generally has more information that is not easily accessible from the outside."

"Administrative agency?" The Blind Man was slightly astonished. He guessed the other party's thoughts, and this could be considered one of the normal problem-solving ideas. "But Cheng Shi, I must remind you, this is the Gate of Inversion, not a small town under the jurisdiction of the Great Court of Judgment or the Tower of Reason. There are no managers here, so naturally, there is no so-called administrative center. It's just a few large broker forces managing this range together, striving for the stability of the town, or rather, the stability of their interests.

However, you should know that in an unregulated place involving multiple interests, stability is a luxury."

"Of course I know, but I am a simple person and don't need luxury goods. Mass-market goods can satisfy my curiosity."

"The place we are going to is indeed an administrative agency. Saying it that way is not wrong, but it doesn't manage government affairs there, only... prisoners."

"Prisoners?" The Blind Man was stunned. "You want to go to prison?"

Cheng Shi smiled. After hearing this word, a familiar feeling returned.

"Not bad. Every time I go to a place, I like to go to the local prison to take a look. The stories inside are often the most exciting, and what's more, the brothers inside speak well, and the exchanges are friendly. We will definitely have great gains."

"..."

The Blind Man's expression was somewhat helpless. Although he felt Cheng Shi's words made some sense, this matter actually had a better solution, which was to follow the guidance of 【Fate】 and let him lead the information collection route. Only in this way could efficiency be maximized.

However, this Fire-Passer clearly didn't care much about the efficiency of the trial after seeing Cheng Shi. He just wanted to pull this help of the Fire-Passers into the Fire-Passers in this trial.

But out of his own trial habits, he still silently took out a die and made a separate divination for the upcoming itinerary.

This was one of his talents, not a prophet's prophecy, but in effect, it was similar to a prophecy.

But what this 【Fate】 Divine Choice didn't expect was that Cheng Shi, who was still deviating from fate, actually chose a path that was almost a perfect score at this moment!

15 points!

The 16-sided die in the Blind Man's hand rolled a 15, which meant that the direction Cheng Shi was going had a high probability of being the guidance of 【Fate】.

How could it be...

The Blind Man's gaze condensed. He flipped his hand and put the die away, continuing to follow behind Cheng Shi without saying a word. It's just that at this moment, the look in his eyes when he looked at Cheng Shi became more and more curious. ===== CHAPTER 632 =====
