Chapter 657: Morabik and Eldor

Morabik and Eldor

Cheng Shi knew he could not continue chatting; although he could easily fool the two fools before him with a few random lies, the problem was that lingering here served no purpose.

Although these two men's minds were not quite normal, their logic was perfectly normal—they were clearly not abnormal.

Moreover, the appearance of the 【Foolish】 believers and the matter of trading to extract divinity was by no means a small issue; it was just that the news came too suddenly, catching Cheng Shi off guard.

He thought that if he set aside the success or failure of the trial and simply focused on figuring out how the 【Foolish】 believers extracted divinity, then even if he lost this trial, it would still count as a huge gain, a benefit comparable to stumbling upon a Divine Relic by chance on the road.

That was divinity! Divinity that all players desperately sought!

This was undoubtedly an explosive piece of news, so much so that Cheng Shi, without a moment's hesitation, only wanted to escape this place and go find the other two Firebearers to discuss it.

Yes, the Firebearers were the first thing that came to his mind.

But this was not his subconscious seeking benefits for the Firebearers; rather, Cheng Shi clearly understood his situation. In such a long-term trial, even if he intended to hide it, it would be impossible to conceal it for seven days under the eyes of teammates whose observation was so sharp it could even be called terrifying.

Furthermore, to contact those 【Foolish】 believers, he would need some helpers, so the Firebearers were the first thing he thought of; this was not a gift, but a cooperation.

He needed the Firebearers to help him secure benefits, and he, for his part, did not mind sharing these benefits with the Firebearers under such circumstances.

So Cheng Shi immediately found an excuse to leave, leaving word that he would return shortly to notify Mr. Morabik to come, telling the two of them not to leave under any circumstances.

The two big men seemed to see hope of the mission ending, nodding vigorously and urging Cheng Shi to go quickly and return quickly.

However, Cheng Shi dared not trust these two fools at all; he turned around and scattered powder strong enough to knock out a crowd of people at the doorway, setting up several tracking traps that were not easily discovered.

He had to make full preparations to give himself a chance to join the transaction between these two organizations.

After finishing all this, he decisively sprinted toward the center of the shantytown, in the direction where Qin Xin and the Blind Man had appeared.

He had to seize the opportunity of favorable timing and terrain to achieve the final harmony of human effort, and investigate the matter concerning the 【Foolish】 and divinity before the other teammates found out!

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Qin Xin had been carrying Xilolin for a while; although the appearance of this pair was very strange, looking very much like some reckless armored man kidnapping their leader in the shantytown, what was even stranger was that everyone here had no reaction to this; in fact, several people even poked their heads out of the shantacks to cheer for Qin Xin.

This scene made Qin Xin's impression of the unrestrained indulgence of all desires within the Brotherhood of Extreme Desire even more profound; perhaps they thought he was engaging in some sort of role-playing with Xilolin?

Hmm, yes, this was actually much more convenient.

Qin Xin smiled as he constantly moved through the center of the shantytown; he did not need to deliberately strike up conversations; he simply passed through an area casually, and all the surrounding sounds fell into his ears without missing a single detail, from the streets to the shantacks to the various people, every visual detail under his eagle-like sweep was left no room for omission.

Soon he had surveyed the situation of most of the shantacks; as he had expected, there was nothing abnormal here; apart from viscous desires colliding with each other, there was nothing but unnutritious gossip about family matters, or of course, it could be the "my length, your short" between two people; it was all much the same, just these few things.

So after confirming he had missed nothing, he turned his head toward the direction of the Blind Man, wanting to rendezvous with his teammate, and just then, he heard a low conversation coming from a dilapidated corner on the edge of the shantytown.

"Morabik, the sea of desire is boundless; I hope your coming here is truly for our plan."

"Eldor, withdraw your foolish words; if you must look down on me from some high ground, I hope it is the strength of the experiment, not the strength of your lips."

These were clearly two men conversing; judging by the sounds around them, they seemed to be hiding somewhere observing this shantytown.

"Arrogance is the beginning of errors."

"Fool, this is confidence."

"The Proxy Hand is controlled by the 【Truth】 believers; they will certainly not cooperate with us, after all, 【Truth】 is merely a thief who steals the words of my Lord; even his believers cannot recognize this reality, so how can you demand that the puppets controlled by his believers understand the greatness of our experiment?"

"Heh, could the 【Corruption】 believers understand it?"

"What else can they do besides venting and mating?"

"What I need is their venting and mating; if it were you, would you cooperate with an ally far smarter than yourself?"

"......" The other man fell silent for a moment, then spoke in a dull voice, "Indeed, I would not."

"Exactly, neither would I, and never will."

"......"

This sentence was like a checkmate, ending the exchange between them.

But this statement, heard in Qin Xin's ears, seemed even more interesting.

Interesting, this sounds like... 【Foolish】 believers?

The mid-period of the Civilization Era has just passed; how could the 【Foolish】 appear underground?

Could His gaze have been far earlier than I understood?

Qin Xin became interested; this was undoubtedly the most fruitful moment of his wandering, so he looked at Xilolin in his hand and decided to bury her temporarily; once he figured out the identities of these two suspected 【Foolish】 believers, he would dig up this spokesperson of the Brotherhood of Extreme Desire; this way, efficiency would be highest.

He acted immediately; he quickly found an empty shantack to settle Xilolin, then silently followed in the direction where the voices had appeared, but just as Qin Xin was about to approach these two, he noticed that in the distance, facing him from afar, there was a woman wearing a black gauze dress, looking at the same spot with a face full of curiosity.

An Mingyu, this Chosen of 【Fate】, under His guidance, had also found her way here.

The two Firebearers exchanged a smile, silently approaching to surround the two "outsiders" who were completely unaware.

"Morabik, what are you still waiting for? We should go talk to the leader here; as long as that woman named Xilolin can find the Abyssal Color Crystal, we will immediately have the chance to directly behold Him!"

"Fool, before acting, one must consider the retreat; I am thinking about how we can safely exit the shantytown if the negotiation fails."

"Do you see that path? There is no wall behind the first shantack on that side; we can pass through the curtains and run out directly; if something goes wrong, run there; also, if you are caught, remember to destroy the parts on your body."

"The materials can be discarded, but before summoning my Lord, the experimental device cannot be exposed!"

"Of course I know; such small matters do not need your reminder; you don't need to rack your brains pretending to be a prophet in the details; I am no worse than you."

"Let's hope so; I always feel we are being watched; let's hope it is just my illusion."

"It must be your illusion; we haven't even gone in, how could we be watched? How could those useless things with trembling legs in the guard posts possibly discover us!"

No sooner had the words fallen than a slender sword tip pointed at the ground between Morabik and Eldor.
