Chapter 675: Who is he!? Who exactly is Li Wu!?

Who is he!? Who exactly is Li Wu!?

Cheng Shi kept a guard up, or rather, his steadiness saved him once.

Because he had been thinking about Li Wu's inconsistent attitude, he had been on guard against the other party in his heart. So at this moment, when he heard such an inexplicable sentence, he controlled his expression and eyes at the first moment, not revealing a single expression that was distorted by shock.

He knew the other party was a hunter with keen observation; any out-of-place reaction would make the other party vigilant. Although his expression became slightly colder due to forced control, fortunately, it was still within the normal range.

But his heart was already boiling at this time, even directly exploding.

For Cheng Shi, the most explosive thing wasn't this sentence the other party said, but that the Master of Deception told him that Li Wu's sentence wasn't a lie!

What did this mean? This meant that the other party either had a Master of Deception card like Qin Xin, or he could only be his peer—a liar with the talent of a Master of Deception!

Besides this, Cheng Shi couldn't think of a third possibility.

And recalling the various exchanges with the investigator today, observing his changes, it wasn't hard to find that this peer was simply superb in acting, even more real than Zhen Yi. If it weren't for the fact that the identity he disguised had contradictions in his attitude toward 【Fate】, and he himself happened to care very much about 【Fate】, perhaps he would never have discovered that the other party was a liar from beginning to end.

But where did this liar get this hunter's skills and 【Order】's methods?

"Lie Like Yesterday" plus Master of Deception?

Is it another damn 【Deception】 civil war?

Cheng Shi panicked. It wasn't his fault for panicking; even thinking back now, the trial that took place at the Montelani Arena would still make him feel lingering fear.

However, liars always have a purpose when they lie. So, what was the purpose of this "Li Wu"?

Cheng Shi had been thinking since just now: which liar would call himself "Boss"?

But thinking back and forth, it seemed he could only think of one, Long Jing.

Is it him? Is it this acrobat who is good at acting?

No, it shouldn't be.

Not because he couldn't, but because he didn't dare!

Even if Long Jing determined that he was currently 【Foolish Play】, he wouldn't dare to affectionately call a Messenger he had only met a few times "Boss" in front of him.

But if it wasn't him, then who could it be!?

Cheng Shi's brain began to run at high speed. He knew he couldn't remain silent forever, so he first found a suitable reason for himself, trying to brush off the act of testing the other party.

"We found the clues to the trial under the guidance of 【Fate】, so naturally, we cannot ignore the counterattack of 【Time】. After all, no one will allow the opposition of faith to make trouble in the trial He bestowed."

"So we need to be more cautious. I'm not guarding against you, but proving to you that I have no problems."

Li Wu's expression was extremely strange upon hearing this. He shook his head and laughed, sighing repeatedly: "Alright, alright, who can out-argue you? However, Boss, is this trial a bit too smooth?"

"Should we first......"

Li Wu's intimate tone made Cheng Shi's heart sink further. He couldn't figure out the reason for a while, so he could only listen quietly as the other party continued.

As Li Wu spoke, he lifted Gers in his hand and said happily:

"...... hide him, drag out the time. Only in this way will we not let this 【Time】 game end quickly."

"In the remaining 6 days, it will be easier for us to search carefully and see if we can catch that traitorous thing, Jiang Chi, back."

"！！！！!"

Who?

Jiang Chi!?

He really didn't die?

No, no, no, this isn't a matter of whether he died or not, but what does this have to do with Jiang Chi? How could he suddenly be dragged into this??

Cheng Shi was stunned, completely stunned. But he quickly put away the knife in his hand and took the opportunity to lower his head and turn around, humming a laugh to cover up all his expressions, because if he didn't do this, his shocked and collapsed face could no longer be hidden!

And when he turned around and cast his horrified gaze toward Adric at his feet, this miner with slightly wet pants was frightened into incontinence on the spot because he met a pair of extremely gloomy eyes.

But at this time, Cheng Shi couldn't care about the smell of urine in the room, because he suddenly realized he was wrong.

Wrong, completely wrong!!!

It's broken, a big problem!

This person isn't a liar!

He seems to be......

No, how could this be? How could the trial of the gods have such a problem? Is this a loophole in the trial, or a distortion of 【Time】, or has the fall of 【Prosperity】 finally caused an impact on the 【Convention】?

The power of 【Memory】 does not trace back to past trials, and the divine power of 【Time】 does not affect current players. This is a consensus and also a rule.

Simply put, players cannot return to the past through the means of 【Memory】 to kill other players in past trials, and players cannot be affected by 【Time】 to see other players on different timelines.

This has always been a truth that the gods have never explicitly stated but has been recognized by players. But now......

The former has long been broken by the arrival of Su Yi Da, and the latter...... today, it seems it is also about to be broken!

This Li Wu......

Cheng Shi took a deep breath, his gaze becoming more solemn, his expression extremely stern.

This Li Wu seems to be a player from another timeline!!!

And on that timeline, himself, or rather, the Cheng Shi who shares the same name as him, is exactly the "Boss" he speaks of!

He and Li Wu, Jiang Chi, belong to the same organization, but there seems to be a problem within this organization, leading to Jiang Chi "betraying"?

This isn't Cheng Shi's imagination, nor is it Cheng Shi's brain-testing. When the other party suddenly said the unexpected name "Jiang Chi," at that moment, Cheng Shi suddenly connected many things.

For example, when they met on the mountain path earlier, the look Li Wu gave him behind everyone's back; for example, when leaving the experimental site, the other party intentionally or unintentionally fell behind him and refused to walk side-by-side; and for example, when he heard movement behind the room where Arad was held, with one word from him, the investigator "obediently" surrounded and captured......

All this seems to confirm that Li Wu is someone's subordinate, it's just that Cheng Shi himself "deceived" himself inadvertently. He never thought that he would be someone's "superior."

He had no sense of substitution for this identity at all.

Or rather, when a normal person discovers a teammate's strange behavior, the first reaction would be that this person has hidden motives and is a liar, and it would be impossible to guess whether this is a person from another time and space.

But now, Cheng Shi couldn't help but think in this direction, because the logical basis for the other party's lying was gone.

If all the previous performances were a liar's foreshadowing, then at this moment, the other party's scam must be meaningless, because even if Cheng Shi didn't understand others, he definitely understood himself. He knew very well whether he had subordinates or not.

Apart from temporary cooperation in trials, he had never directed anyone, nor did he like to direct others. Of course, "Ram Horn" didn't count.

It wasn't a person.

So, when the other party wholeheartedly recognized himself as a subordinate, this scam lost its final credibility. In a peak game, when there were no witnesses, no one would admit to a false identity to cater to a liar.

Cheng Shi should have thought of this point earlier, but he considered too much, and instead ignored the simplest truth.

Having figured this out, he began to diverge his thinking. ===== CHAPTER 676 =====
