Chapter 673: The person you

The person you're talking about seems to be my father.

Adric?

Is he ordinary? He's not ordinary at all. Others go to the shantytown to indulge their desires, but he goes to the shantytown to actually steal money.

Just a miner whose living standard is below the average line, how could he possibly get you a quota to go to the surface?

By relying on the money he stole?

Cheng Shi was quite speechless. He felt that everyone at the Gate of Inversion was rubbing against his intelligence. Fortunately, Adric was in the hands of the players; as long as the two sides compared notes, they would know what this person had actually come for.

So Cheng Shi shook his head and laughed, dragging Gers, who was on the ground, toward the room where Adric was being held.

"Let's go. Before dealing with Arad, let's first see what other little secrets this smuggler gentleman has."

Li Wu naturally didn't care. He hummed a laugh and followed honestly behind Cheng Shi, though he still didn't choose to walk side-by-side. Seeing this attitude, Cheng Shi always felt that the other party was giving way to him. This investigator seemed to deliberately want to follow behind him. Where did this sense of courtesy come from?

Cheng Shi frowned and said nothing, his heart becoming even more cautious.

The room where Adric was held was right next to Arad's. Very quickly, Cheng Shi threw Gers in front of the equally terrified Adric. However, when the two players saw the confusion and bewilderment rising in the miner's eyes, their expressions instantly sank.

Adric clearly didn't know this smuggler!

But since he didn't know him, how did this man named Gers manage to deceive his Master of Deception?

Cheng Shi suddenly became alert. He casually slipped a scalpel into his hand, his brow slightly furrowed as he looked at Gers and said: "You'd better give me an explanation."

Gers had been dragged the whole way and was gritting his teeth to endure the pain of friction. Hearing Cheng Shi call him, he hurriedly looked up to examine his surroundings. However, the moment he saw Adric, he was also stunned, his eyes filled with fear and confusion as he said:

"Explain what? I don't know this person......"

"Don't know him? A fine 'don't know him.' He is Adric. Didn't you say Adric helped you? Why don't you know him now?"

"He is Adric?" Gers rubbed his eyes in a daze, then used the light to examine the person in front of him again, before denying it with suspicion, "He seems...... a bit like him, but I'm not confused. I know Adric, he is definitely not Adric himself!"

The smuggler shook his head frantically, but as he shook it, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and realized with a start:

"I know, he's a fake! He stole Adric's miner identity!

He must be like me, also a smuggler! He wants to use the identity of the Hand of Agency to leave this place!

He must be a fake! Where is Adric? Where did you hide Adric!

You bastard, you didn't kill him, did you? He was my last hope! You broke my last hope, you bastard, give me back my Jiasimaila citizen status!"

As he spoke, the extremely agitated Gers actually swung his fist at Adric.

Adric was truly stunned. He didn't know the madman in front of him at all, but after all, he was a miner; even if locked in chains, his strength was not something a skinny smuggler could contend with. So he straightened his leg and kicked "Boom" into Gers's chest, sending the angry and desperate smuggler flying directly to the door.

If Li Wu hadn't caught him from behind, Gers might have really been kicked rolling out the door.

Watching this absurd scene, Cheng Shi didn't laugh out loud for the first time.

This time he really couldn't laugh, because the Master of Deception told him that neither side was lying!

And this meant that either the smuggler had the ability to deceive the Master of Deception, or...... a new "discrepancy" had appeared, and the smuggler's cognition had likely deviated.

Adric's identity needed no doubt, because not only Cheng Shi, but Qin Xin, who possessed the Master of Deception card, and the rigorous 【Truth】 believer Wang Mou had all investigated this miner. An ordinary NPC, no matter how deeply hidden, couldn't possibly deceive three peak players at the same time.

So the problem at the moment was most likely with this smuggler who had snuck onto the mine. And looking at the other party's state, although he was a bit panicked, his logical thinking was generally clear, and his language and behavior were not chaotic. He clearly knew what he wanted and what he had lost; he looked very normal.

So the only thing that could be abnormal was his cognition.

"Interesting. This trial today is truly evil. How come all the good things are rushing to be delivered to my eyes?" Cheng Shi sighed, then looked at Gers, who was wailing at the door, and asked again: "Alright, stop howling. Are you sure the Adric you know isn't him?"

"I'm sure, he must have stolen Adric's identity!" Gers's eyes were red, and looking at that expression, he wished he could eat alive the person who had extinguished his hope of returning to the surface.

"Then what does the Adric you know look like? What are his characteristics? Tell me in detail, perhaps I can still help you find him."

Hearing this, Adric became anxious.

"My lord! I am the real one, I didn't steal any identity!

I grew up in the mining area since I was a child, I'm not a smuggler at all. The old people of the Hand of Agency all know me, the ladies in the shantytown also know me, I can prove it, I......"

"Zheng!"

A scalpel flashing with silver light suddenly stuck between Adric's legs. The miner's waist and buttocks tightened, and he immediately stopped speaking, but the sudden fear still stimulated his bladder again. He...... peed again.

"I didn't ask you, so shut up first. I'm asking him.

Gers, last chance, I hope you grasp it well."

"I'll say it, I'll say everything!

Adric is very strong, a bit stronger than him, but his height seems about the same. He has a mole on his cheek, and half of his ear is missing—it was bitten off by a shantytown lady. Also, he has a blood tattoo on his left arm, it's a tattoo of the first lady he slept with, he......"

"???"

Before Gers could finish, Adric woke up from his fear, his whole person completely falling into a daze. He instinctively shrank his buttocks back, then looked at Gers in disbelief, his face full of confusion as he said:

"Wait a minute...... why do I feel like the person you're talking about is my father?"

"?"

Both players were shocked. Cheng Shi blinked: "Your father is also named Adric?"

"Yes, my lord. When I was young, everyone called me Little Adric. My father was the real Adric. After he died, I inherited his name and became the real Adric."

"......"

Not so fast, a broken miner's name—what is there to inherit? ===== CHAPTER 674 =====
