Chapter 669
【Truth】 is not 【Dementia】, knowledge should circulate
"Doctor, are you looking for divinity?"
The Blind Man played the role of breaking the silence among the crowd. She smiled and turned to Wang Mou, her tightly closed eyes seeming to emit mysterious faint light, inviting the other party to respond to Morabik's question.
This answer is crucial, even related to whether Wang Mou, who is blocking everyone, can continue to become a teammate who fights side by side with everyone in the trial time to come. After all, Cheng Shi and the Fire Spreaders also came for the Abyss Color Crystal. If they just watched the divinity that should have been in their hands be "picked up," even if the Fire Spreaders didn't want to cause trouble, the Clown classmate wouldn't agree.
Yes, things without owners should belong to whoever finds them. But the problem is that you took away the clues I found in the hotel, and then grabbed the crystals I wanted before me. This behavior, no matter how you calculate it, seems like you secretly pitted me, right?
Cheng Shi had a headache. He knew that this Abyss Color Crystal could never belong to him alone, but he couldn't let this believer of 【Truth】 enjoy it alone. At least splitting half when meeting is the meaning of righteousness. So from the moment he heard Morabik's words, he was thinking about how to keep the other half that belonged to him, and at most the two Fire Spreaders, in the hands of an assassin.
Qin Xin and the Blind Man were also weighing the situation. They all wanted to know what this 【Truth】 teammate wanted to do.
And just at this moment, something that stunned everyone happened. Wang Mou didn't seem to want to swallow the spoils from the mine alone at all. He took out 11 Abyss Color Crystals of different sizes from his portable space, placed them on the ground in front of him, and then said solemnly under the stunned gaze of everyone:
"I searched all the mine caves, warehouses, and miners' private stashes, and only found this many. Now is not a good time for Abyss Color Crystal collection. These should all be the stock collected when 【Abyss Volcano】 erupted."
"If I didn't recognize it wrong, this wise man you mentioned should have some relationship with the great scholar Rabio of the Creation Alchemy Department of the Tower of Reason. I have studied him and seen his portrait, and it was also at that time that I knew about the existence of Abyss Color Crystal."
"At the same time, I also found some records related to the divinity refining experiment in that trial, but most of these records were failed drafts, and the vague core experimental material mentioned in them became the biggest obstacle for me to replicate this experiment..."
"So, this friend of 【Dementia】, you should have the means to refine these crystals?"
"Otherwise, I can't think of why my teammates would bring a group of irrelevant NPCs to the mine to look for clues."
Sharp, rational, smart, calm. Cheng Shi saw all the qualities that a 【Truth】 believer should have in Wang Mou. This was a good opportunity for Cheng Shi to understand the other party and deepen the other party's image memory, but he felt that Wang Mou was revealing a sense of wrongness all over his body.
If Wang Mou was this image from the beginning, Cheng Shi's impression of him shouldn't be too bad. But this person lied at the beginning and exposed himself at the last minute. It looked like he came with selfishness and purpose, but after getting the things, he was so "generous" to place the Abyss Color Crystals he found for a day in front of everyone.
Such repetitive and strange behavior made Cheng Shi's cognition of Wang Mou messy. He always felt that the other party's image was like countless fragments glued together, not a whole that was harmonious and unified from the beginning.
Why would it be like this?
Could it be...
Hmm? He is a slice of someone?
No wonder Cheng Shi would think so, because the believers of 【Truth】 are best at this, especially after witnessing the divinity budding experiment. No matter what kind of anomaly the slice person appeared in personality, he didn't feel anything strange.
Thinking of this, Cheng Shi looked at Wang Mou with a bit of scrutiny. He scrutinized the other party again for a long time before smiling:
"What does the doctor mean? You intend to share these Abyss Color Crystals with us...?"
Wang Mou nodded frankly:
"Not bad. I have materials, you... seem to have means. Cooperation between the two sides can effectively promote the replication of the experiment."
"If these two 【Dementia】 believers can really complete the experiment and extract divinity from these crystals, I don't need to share any divinity from the experimental results. Just watching a complete experiment is enough."
"This is all my purpose."
"But this is not the reason why you came here to wait for us, Doctor. Before meeting us, you didn't know that there were wise men who understood this experiment in our team." Cheng Shi's counter-question was still sharp.
"Yes, watching the experiment is just my wish, not the reason I came to find you."
"But Fate Weaver, you don't need to be so defensive against me. I have no malice, just pursuing 【Truth】 wholeheartedly."
"I came here because I couldn't determine whether the investigator behind me would move first and strip away the crystals I found."
"Justice has never been a niche topic. When there are few people, no one can guarantee justice. Only in front of the public can justice be mentioned."
"So you can also say that 'fear' prompted me to want to find you as soon as possible, but your footsteps in coming here were faster than I expected."
"By the way, I've said it to this extent, shouldn't the investigator come out to meet us?"
Wang Mou looked to his back. At the moment the words fell, Li Wufang turned out from behind a small hill in the distance with a smile on his lips. He was holding a rope in his hand, and the other end of the rope was two other men who were tied up tightly and could only jump like zombies.
Everyone knew these two "zombies." One was Adrick, who was identified as an "anomaly of the present" by the doctor, and the other was the target of Cheng Shi's group, the leader of the Hand of Agency, Alade!
No one expected that Alade would fall into Li Wufang's hands. When Xiluo Lin in the crowd saw her brother appear, she stared at the other party with a gloomy face and sneered: "Alade, you have today too!"
Alade was far away and didn't hear his sister's greeting. On the contrary, Li Wufang had sharp ears. He looked at Xiluo Lin in the crowd and then glanced back at the prey in his hand. The smile in his eyes became stronger.
He walked slowly to everyone with the two people, his expression casual, seemingly not caring about the doctor's staring, his drifting gaze skipped everyone, and only looked at Cheng Shi, and in the gap of everyone's eyes crossing, he squeezed his eyes hard at Cheng Shi.
"?"
Cheng Shi was shocked in his heart, seeing that this secret greeting from the other party didn't look like a greeting between ordinary teammates. Why did this investigator suddenly start to show favor to himself? What did he discover?
Or rather, what does he want to say to himself?
Cheng Shi had doubts in his heart but didn't dare to show it. He could only respond with his signature smile, then naturally moved his gaze away, looked at the Abyss Color Crystals at his feet again, and made a sound of "tsk tsk," as if asking Wang Mou, but actually diverting the investigator's attention.
"I am not guarding against you, I just didn't expect you, Doctor, to be so... generous?"
"Generous? Perhaps. When cooperation can improve efficiency, I always tend to cooperate."
"After all, 【Truth】 is not 【Dementia】, and knowledge should circulate."
