Chapter 668

Seeing Wang Mou again

The shortcut was indeed much faster. Not long after, everyone left the city and came to the path to the mine.

Before, Cheng Shi and Qin Xin met Wang Mou carrying Aromani here, and then were "blocked" back by mistake, not going deeper into the mine. And this time...

They were blocked again, because Wang Mou appeared in front of everyone again. At the end of this path, he was frowning and bumped into the path-finding Screaming Servant.

Seeing this scene from afar, Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow with a playful smile.

Interesting. How come the progress of this assassination doctor's exploration of the mine is always so in sync with his side? Every time he walks here, he can see him finishing the exploration of the mine. Is it a coincidence or intentional?

Is he not wanting his teammates to step into the scope of the mine, or is there really nothing worth digging deep into in the mine?

No, that's not right. He must have a plan for the mine, otherwise he wouldn't have said something about cross-experiments when splitting the team to cover up his real purpose.

So, what exactly is the doctor doing?

Wang Mou clearly discovered the arrival of the crowd. His perception was very keen. His gaze quickly skipped over his teammates and looked at the two 【Dementia】 believers in the team. He felt a familiar aura on these two people, his face was stunned and somewhat uncertain:

"Scholar? No, this taste, it's like a wise man, a believer of 【Dementia】?"

"In this era... could it be budding?"

【Truth】 believers really have something. Just one look and there was a guess.

"Doctor, we meet again." Cheng Shi greeted from afar, his eyes darting around, until he confirmed from the Screaming Servant's feedback that there were no anomalies around, he walked to the front quickly, and teased with a strange tone:

"It looks like your progress here is also very fast. Did you find any clues?"

"Adrick? How come it's you alone again? The investigator, he wouldn't... have been assassinated by you, right?"

"Also, you came here, are you waiting for us?"

"..."

Wang Mou clearly wasn't used to Cheng Shi's sarcasm. His face froze, but soon he shook his head and answered solemnly:

"There are gains, but they are all expected gains."

"The investigator and I checked Adrick from four aspects: geographical cognition, social relations, professional skills, and personal memory, and found most of the evidence here to corroborate his memory. This shows that his past is almost consistent with the past we understand now. The only difference is his attitude towards Aromani, and the attitude of Aromani towards him that he narrated."

"Considering that the current 【Time】 is not a specific and precise point in time, but a small period of time, we suspect that he is very likely an 'anomaly of the present.' So our investigator used some means on the miners and learned that the changes in his perception of Aromani were indeed started recently."

"And then we confirmed from other miners that everyone who had contact with him didn't know that he had a crush on Aromani. It is worth mentioning that we also found many regular customers of Aromani here and heard about the character of this shanty girl from their mouths. Originally, I should have confirmed with you all after meeting, but now it seems..."

Wang Mou scanned the crowd. After not seeing Aromani's figure, his eyes were determined:

"She is probably not one of the 'discrepancies,' and the real 'discrepancy' is Adrick. The time before and after the night this miner took the shanty girl out is probably the so-called 'present'."

"As for your other questions..."

"Adrick was taken away by the investigator. He is a very 'thoughtful' person. He left me some private time. After confirming that Adrick had a problem, we separated."

"So I didn't assassinate him; he left by himself."

"But now, his 'thoughtfulness' is over, because from just now, our investigator has been following behind me. I don't know what he wants to do, but I came here indeed to wait for you."

"..."

After listening to this analysis, besides wanting to clap and applaud, Cheng Shi also felt his forehead ache slightly. The other party was too serious. This attitude felt even more rigid than when Old Zhang the squinting man explained things.

However, what does it mean that the investigator took Adrick away?

What does this investigator want to do?

Cheng Shi frowned, always feeling that something went wrong in the mine again. But he had more concerned questions at the moment, which was Wang Mou's last sentence. Was this believer of 【Truth】 really waiting for their group?

What does he want to do?

Just when Cheng Shi was puzzled, Qin Xin behind the team raised his hand, patted Morabik's shoulder, and asked with interest:

"Wise man, you seem to have something to say from just now. Looking at you, you seem to have an opinion on this believer of 【Truth】 in front of us?"

"If you have something to say, just say it. After all, the truth becomes clearer the more it is debated. We also want to know who is the correct one between 【Dementia】 and 【Truth】?"

Qin Xin's words sounded very much like fanning the flames, so much so that Cheng Shi looked back in astonishment, thinking he was possessed by someone. The Blind Man also hummed, but she didn't seem surprised by Qin Xin's reaction.

Morabik did have something to say. Not only him, but even Alandor on the side stopped talking several times. If it weren't for Morabik pulling him, he might have already spoken when Wang Mou was talking just now.

Morabik looked at Wang Mou, then looked at Cheng Shi at the very front. After getting Cheng Shi's affirmative gaze, he said solemnly:

"I have no opinion on 【Truth】. His foolish actions will sooner or later make His believers and Himself move away from the real truth."

"What I want to say is, this follower of 【Truth】 knows where the Abyss Color Crystal is. His body is stained with the smell of Abyss Color Crystal!"

"It can't be wrong, and it was just now!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes looked at Wang Mou. Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow and secretly held a scalpel in his sleeve, while letting the Screaming Servant enter a defensive posture.

Interesting. This believer of 【Truth】 was indeed here for the Abyss Color Crystal!

Also right, after all, he is a peak 【Truth】 player. It is expected that he knows more about 【Abyss Volcano】 than other players. But what Cheng Shi cares about is, since he knows that the investigator deliberately left him private time to find this thing, why does he dare to really do this thing under Li Wufang's "tailing"?

Is he not afraid that the other party is also coveting this Abyss Color Crystal?

The investigator must be following him, and it is very likely that he has been following him all along, only revealing his traces at the present moment, letting the doctor know his position.

Cheng Shi brought himself into it to think. If he knew that a teammate was looking for good things in the mine, he would also hide quietly to see what this teammate was looking for.

Based on his observation, this sunny and cheerful investigator looks like someone who can do this kind of thing.

So Cheng Shi was even more puzzled. Why is this believer of 【Truth】 acting so strange and repetitive?
