Chapter 667

Go to the Mine Again

Everyone set off. The first stop was the earth house prison where Alade once appeared.

They were prepared to capture the ringleader first to solve the leader of the Hand of Agency and complete Xiluo Lin's commission, and then go directly to the mine to take over all the assets of the Hand of Agency.

The number of people in the whole team was exactly doubled. Cheng Shi was in front, Qin Xin was at the back, and the Blind Man was in the middle to command. The two wise men followed Cheng Shi honestly, step by step, without any intention of wanting to escape the team.

There was a reason why they saw through the situation, but more importantly, Cheng Shi confiscated Zain Gil's finger, forcing them to actively improve their awareness.

Xiluo Lin was completely cured. Cheng Shi just took out a bottle of Past Prosperity, which allowed this big sister with a severed arm to restore her past style. Of course, now this style belonged exclusively to Qin Xin and the Blind Man, because when she looked at Cheng Shi, there was still unknown fear remaining in her eyes.

A group of six people left the shanty area and rushed to the territory of the Hand of Agency. As for the lackey from the shanty area who had just participated in the discussion, in order to prevent the other party from leaking news and affecting the players' actions, Qin Xin could only find a place to bury him in the soil first.

Everything went very smoothly. However, there is one point that needs special explanation. In the past, such a steady player like Cheng Shi would never open the way for everyone. But today he had a skeleton bodyguard. "Ram Horn" was moving back and forth at a suitable distance in front of the team, escorting his master behind him. And it was precisely because of the existence of the Screaming Servant that Cheng Shi boldly walked in front of the Fire Spreaders.

"I always feel that the behavior of Cheng Shi's 【Death】 summon seems a bit familiar. I just can't remember where I've seen it for a while. Mingyu, do you have an impression?"

Hearing Qin Xin's doubt, the Blind Man said meaningfully: "No, if even a man in the mirror doesn't remember the other party's movement habits, then I, a traveler of 【Void】, have even less impression."

Qin Xin heard the ridicule and smiled bitterly: "Alright, it seems I am not a qualified believer of 【Memory】 either."

The two Fire Spreaders looked at each other with strange expressions, seemingly reaching some tacit understanding.

The episode on the road passed quickly. Not long after, everyone came to the path to the mine where Cheng Shi and the Blind Man first discovered Adrick. But before they arrived, the Screaming Servant brought back not-so-good news: Alade in the prison was gone, and there seemed to be some movement in the direction of the mine. After sobering up, he had already gone to the mine.

Cheng Shi, who didn't find anyone, could only take everyone back to the mine. But this time, they didn't take the city road from before, but under Xiluo Lin's guidance, found a shortcut through the living area.

Everyone walked very fast. Cheng Shi still didn't stop along the way, constantly observing how the people and stowaways here lived, and what anomalies there were compared to the ecology of the shanty area.

This was not because he was purely interested in the Inverted Gate, but because he was deepening his understanding of this area. Cheng Shi guessed that the answer of 【Time】 might not be so simple, so any detail could become the key to helping him think. Although the Blind Man knew this place very well, the understanding on paper was ultimately not as good as seeing it with his own eyes.

He needed to carefully record everything here, so as not to miss the best clue opportunity or time window when it was needed.

While walking, he really discovered some things different from the city area and the shanty area in this area.

Small ball flowers, this decorative flower bouquet planted in pieces in front of many residential doors, seemed to be different from what was seen before in this living area.

He raised an eyebrow and asked his curiosity.

"An, the Chosen One, do you know why people here like to plant some colorful small ball flowers at the door?" Cheng Shi pointed to the green small ball flowers planted in front of someone's door.

The Blind Man "looked" at it, frowned and shook her head:

"The School of History will not record everything in detail. It is already very remarkable that someone can find the history of the Inverted Gate. They are splicing the broken history spine of the Hope Continent, but they will not care about how many 'stones' of different colors are growing on which rib that spreads out..."

"However, I have an impression of this flower."

The impression in An Mingyu's mouth was naturally the scene where Cheng Shi picked the small ball flower and inserted it into Adrick's nostrils. She carefully recalled the small ball flowers she had seen in the city today, pondered for a moment, and replied:

"I guess it's a force? Are they marking the force area with color?"

Force?

Cheng Shi was stunned, recalling the red small ball flowers in the city area, the orange-yellow small ball flowers in the shanty area, and the green small ball flowers seen at the moment, blinked, feeling that it seemed to make sense.

And just when the two were discussing, the wise man who had been staring at Cheng Shi and silent all the way suddenly spoke. Alandor couldn't hold back the "contempt" in his heart anymore, sneered, but soon he realized that he had no capital to sneer at anyone, so he took back the contemptuous smile and hummed:

"This is Abyss Rainbow Orchid, an experimental observation object jointly refined by the Creation Alchemy Department and the Life Extension Department when they were looking for Abyss Color Crystals."

"It is drought-resistant and high-temperature resistant, can absorb heat in extremely harsh high-temperature environments to grow, and will reflect the temperature in the current environment with flower color, based on the rainbow spectrum. The closer to the high-spectrum light, the lower the current heat. Cyan indicates that the current environmental temperature is not suitable for finding Abyss Color Crystals. This kind of crystal ore is generally only discovered when the Abyss Rainbow Orchid is red."

"The rainbow orchid seeds here are probably those that were scattered and lost by the Tower of Reason in the 【Abyss Volcano】 and fell underground. After all, besides this thing, nothing else can be planted in the Inverted Gate."

Cheng Shi was stunned, suddenly realizing that he had ignored the changes in the environment all the way. He felt the current temperature and found that it was indeed not as hot as at the beginning of the trial. It turned out that this was still a natural thermometer?

"Mr. Alandor is truly knowledgeable. However, how come these are all old knowledge from when your fathers were still in the 【Truth】 camp? Can you share some fresh truths you researched after believing in 【Dementia】?"

"Otherwise, I always feel that 【Dementia】 is not as good as 【Truth】."

"..."

Cheng Shi's mockery made the two wise men unable to handle it. Alandor wanted to retort, but thinking that the core experimental prop was in the other party's hands, he opened his mouth silently and swallowed this "contempt" with a stiff face.

Cheng Shi laughed loudly when he saw 【Dementia】 walking towards 【Silence】 again.

On the contrary, Qin Xin shook his head and smiled after observing Cheng Shi all the way: "This Fate Weaver is quite different from what I imagined."

"How is it different?" The Blind Man paused slightly and asked.

"He looks much more sunny than imagined." Qin Xin only mentioned it, then refused to say more, and pushed the Blind Man to continue moving forward with a smile.
