Chapter 64: A High-End Game That Makes People Ashamed
A High-End Game That Makes People Ashamed
(Surprise three in a row! Extra large cup ProMax today! One-time ending!)
Lying on his back on the roof, feeling the reality of the sun shining on him, Cheng Shi had a feeling of luck after the disaster.
Didn't expect this method to really work!
Winning the gamble with his life as a bet again, it couldn't help but make Cheng Shi feel that he really had some gambling luck.
He took out the dice in his bosom and looked at it against the dazzling sun; the 1 point on the dice became very dazzling under the reflection.
"Predetermined fate? Heh, dog shit."
Cheng Shi smiled and threw the dice away; the dice rolled rapidly on the ground of the roof, and after a few circles, it stopped steadily; the bright and gorgeous 1 point was still facing up, never changed.
As if protesting against Cheng Shi who denied it, and as if mocking Cheng Shi who was powerless to change it.
Cheng Shi didn't look at it, just closed his eyes, and everything he experienced in these five days surged in his mind, carefully sorting out all the details, and doing a review for his clearance.
Where is there eternal good luck, it's just that he is working hard secretly.
Every time he experiences a trial, he goes to review all the operations, trying to make his sense of smell sharper, his nerves tighter, and his deception more natural.
This is Cheng Shi's way of winning.
But these efforts are too tiring, far less practical than being a slacker.
So Cheng Shi's ultimate dream is to hug thighs and be a slacker.
It's a pity that he always encounters various idiots in the trial, and rarely has the opportunity to slack through a whole game.
This trial was actually matched well, there were many big shots, and he should have slacked to the end.
But the answer to the trial didn't allow him to slack, or rather, the big shots didn't mean to take him.
The five mask rewards after the trial ended explained this matter:
These 2400+ big shots, none of them died!
Why didn't they die? Perhaps because they had long seen through the answer.
"They are all human spirits!!"
Cheng Shi sighed, and turned his memory back to the moment the trial arrived.
The hint given by 【Death】 is: There is only one road to death, find it, and offer your offering!
Referring to the previous 【Death】 trials, this is obviously to find an offering, kill him, offer it to Him, thereby ending the trial.
But the strangeness of this trial is that the town where the trial is located does not accept death, or death is difficult to come.
But things are not absolute, at least in a town influenced by a semi-divine artifact, using another semi-divine artifact can create death.
So everyone's goal at the beginning was to find the murderer and decipher the clues of the trial from him.
During this period, everyone's direction of effort was the same.
Only Wei Guan, he just investigated in the town like a bystander for a long time, and used the means of 【Foolish】 to infer an answer.
Then extremely firmly used the murderer to kill himself!
He "committed suicide"!
This is also why no one could find traces at the scene.
Because it was he himself who cleared all traces.
A hunter of 【Foolish】 perfectly forged the scene of his own death, making a group of teammates deep in inexplicable fear.
During that period of time, no one thought that they were the offering!
Dedicating oneself is the only road.
The offering valued by 【Death】 in this trial is not a specific person, but the wisdom and courage to face death!
The second person to "touch" the answer was Yun Ni.
This assassin lady of 【Annihilation】 had no clue, she just wanted to speed up the progress of obtaining clues, so she resolutely returned to the inn and started to rush towards the murderer!
Know that 【Annihilation】 is the opposite of 【Death】, He advocates more extreme than the death without scattering advocated by 【Death】.
So His believers ignore life, not only limited to others, but also including themselves.
In their view, death is just a state before moving towards annihilation, and it is not terrible.
But when she sensed that the people of the Grand Court of Judgment were at the inn, and even sensed that there was a semi-divine artifact in the room, she suddenly felt that she had found the answer:
That is to die under a semi-divine artifact in a town protected by a semi-divine artifact!
So she died calmly, embraced "Annihilation", and took the opportunity to "save" her teammates.
But at that time she ignored one point, which was also a point Cheng Shi realized after four people died!
That is, the rule contained in the sentence "There is only one road to death" does not have only one!
There is also a very key point: each death method can only have one time!
Yun Ni's luck was very good; she bumped into Mo Qiusi of the Grand Court of Judgment before she figured out the meaning of this hint, and died under Mo Qiusi's scepter.
And the ascetic monk behind was not so lucky.
This warrior of 【Silence】 ate a thunder punishment of a semi-divine artifact but didn't die; at that time, he immediately understood the meaning of this hint, and then decisively chose to pounce on Cheng Shi, pounce on that 【When Fear Arrives】!
There was never a second murderer at the scene, nor did anyone fish in muddy water.
It was the ascetic monk who chose himself, and then used that replica to kill himself!
Wei Guan's death was subjective, but the perpetrator was Ados, killed by 【When Fear Arrives】!
Yun Ni's death, the executioner was Mo Qiusi, killed by 【Moment of Execution】!
And the ascetic monk, he was the first suicide in the true sense, he killed himself with fear, killed by the suicide of 【When Fear Arrives】!
These three death methods were disabled after these three people cleared the trial.
There were few death methods left for Cheng Shi, Du Xiguang, and Fang Jue.
And Du Xiguang was because he read Ados's memory and found that he didn't follow Wei Guan to clean up the traces of killing, so he guessed Wei Guan's intention.
But at this time, he was deep in a bad situation and had almost no chance to kill himself, so he could only find another way, use special means to return to the past, and let his death replace the ascetic monk's death, tampering with memory!
As a result, cause and effect were misplaced.
Because the ascetic monk had long left the trial and was distorted in memory, he disappeared from everyone's mind.
And Du Xiguang found a loophole and killed himself with 【When Fear Arrives】 in memory, killed by the suicide of 【When Fear Arrives】.
However, due to his over-acting, Fang Jue missed all the clues, and even the traces left by his original memory were wiped away; the new timeline threw him directly into the prison of the Law Enforcement Bureau.
Cheng Shi realized the final answer much later.
It was only after Mo Qiusi's blow failed to kill him that he suddenly realized that the answer was to sacrifice himself with different death methods.
It was also at that time that a plan began to form in his heart.
After Mo Qiusi died, he had a very safe way to win the trial, which was to commit suicide using 【Moment of Execution】.
But this also had risks, because if there was a 0.1% probability that the answer was not death, then Cheng Shi would welcome the end of his game career in endless regret.
So, Cheng Shi, who was afraid of death, first did an extremely bold experiment:
He used the alchemy notes he got from Chenuosi and Mo Qiusi's corpse to forge the scene of the alchemist's death, and then submitted it with the "nominal death" defined by the Law Enforcement Bureau as the answer.
This is a dangerous move.
Because this is the trial of 【Death】!
Cheng Shi's opportunism was very likely to be counterproductive, turning all this into a performance that blasphemed Him.
Thereby letting him, who originally had a chance to land safely, turn out of the runway and crash to death.
Fortunately, 【Death】 approved.
Although He gave 0 points.
But at least the benefactor appreciated his performance and thought he deceived 【Death】.
Cheng Shi won the gamble.
The chips won included not only the clearance of the trial, but also a 【When Fear Arrives】, and a 【Moment of Execution】!
Two semi-divine artifacts were brought back to reality by him!
"Sigh, a 2400 game, didn't add a point, wasted."
Although he said so, this trial was still the most difficult one Cheng Shi had experienced since joining 【Faith Game】.
Seeking harmony when weak, competing first when strong, the trial in this segment has gradually stripped away the cooperation mechanism of low-segment players and started to guard against each other.
Everyone here is terrifyingly sharp; if it weren't for the trust habit of cooperation needed in the early trials, perhaps at the beginning, Cheng Shi would have fallen into an absolute disadvantage because of the hostility brought by 【Chaos】 faith.
And it was precisely this one that finally let him see how the top batch of players at the current stage are embracing 【Divinity】.
In this amazing trial:
The believer of 【Foolish】 is the least foolish;
The believer of 【Annihilation】 annihilated himself;
The believer of 【Silence】 is deafening;
The believer of 【Memory】 secretly tampered with memory;
The believer of 【Order】 cheated and broke "Order";
The believer of 【Deception】 was pitifully deceived to the end.
Except for Fang Jue, everyone is the best actor.
They not only perfectly ended their own scenes, but also didn't leave a clue for their teammates.
Although their actions pushed others away from death, they also forced the remaining players to go against the answer.
The survivors buried their heads in the quest for "【Death】 offering", but couldn't hear the silent mockery issued by the winners who had already cleared the trial.
To be honest, guessing that the answer is death might not be difficult.
The hardest part is, dare to die or not.
They had long discovered the clues and dared to use death to verify their conjectures.
This courage and confidence made Cheng Shi ashamed.
As for the believer of 【Order】 who was still kept in the dark at the end...
Forget it, there must be a slacker in every trial.
Even the most awesome players have times when they are not in good condition.
You say right, Mr. Fang?
This trial is worthy of being high-end, and Cheng Shi didn't act as a slacker.
Although he didn't take anyone to fly, he won himself in an extremely safe way.
Even if he was deceived by others, at least in the end, he "deceived" 【Death】.
"Does this count as deceiving 【God】?"
As soon as the words fell, a fluctuation from the deep abyss shrouded the roof where Cheng Shi was.
"???"
