Chapter 676: Jiang Chi?

Jiang Chi?

If the other party isn't a liar, then according to previous guesses, he should be an investigator with a Master of Deception card, because only in this way can the phenomenon of his inconsistent attitude toward 【Fate】 but telling the truth be explained.

However, besides this, there is another possibility, a possibility that Cheng Shi didn't dare to imagine before, which is that a "discrepancy" of 【Time】 also occurred on Li Wu, a "discrepancy" like Gers or Adric, so that in the first and second half of today, he became two completely different people, and these two......

No, wait, not two, it's three!

Cheng Shi's eyes widened again, and he combed through all the reactions of Li Wu he had seen today once more.

The initial Li Wu believed in fate but wasn't close to him; the Li Wu that appeared in the middle said he didn't believe in fate, 【Fate】 could only favor his teammates; and the current Li Wu...... not only believes in fate but is also "his" subordinate, a subordinate from an unknown organization, even from another timeline!!!

The other party's "【Time】" has changed!

Thinking of this, a chill rushed from Cheng Shi's tailbone to his crown. Fear suddenly sprouted from the depths of his heart, like a giant hand, tightly gripping his heart.

I should have thought that the trial of 【Time】 wouldn't be so simple, but...... could it be this difficult?

He deliberately disrupted the dimension of time, it shouldn't just be to pit himself, right!?

Or is He proving that the 【Time of Eternal Imprisonment】 He bestowed is correct, wanting to turn himself into that prisoner imprisoned in time like Aflos in this game?

Cheng Shi panicked a little, his hands and feet cold.

Although the above are just his personal speculations and there is no actual evidence, verifying all this doesn't seem difficult. Cheng Shi didn't have time to think too much. His only advantage now is that the other party misidentified him, and as long as there is a misidentification, there is a lot of room for operation.

And the clown is best at maneuvering in this narrow space!

So Cheng Shi's thoughts turned rapidly, and he turned back to strike with his knife, killing Gers, who was trembling in the investigator's hand, with one stroke.

"Chi——"

Blood splashed, life ended.

In the terrified gaze of Gers, who didn't have time to scream, Cheng Shi's mouth hooked into a cold sneer. He took the opportunity to catch the other party and lay him flat on the ground, and under the cover of the splashing blood, one hand bypassed Gers's back, quietly touching the shadow beneath him in a blind spot where no one could see.

"Ding~"

The Fate Weaver turned back into a clown at this moment, and the first thing the clown did after returning was to jam a smoke bomb into his cuff. He had to ensure that his talent for fishing in troubled waters had a chance to be displayed the moment the other party discovered the clues. 【Deception】 didn't have gambling tools that never get lost for him to use.

However, Cheng Shi wasn't in a hurry to release the smoke. At a time when the situation hadn't collapsed, he could still play the "Cheng Shi" in the other party's heart to verify his guess. So after taking the opportunity to kill Gers, he said with a playful smile:

"Living people are hard to hide, dead people are more convenient."

To be honest, even if the guess was correct, Cheng Shi didn't know what he looked like on another timeline, but he knew that as long as he acted well as his current self, it would be enough to deceive Li Wu.

This wasn't because the chaotic acting method took effect, but because the other party's misidentification itself showed that the "self" on another timeline should be very similar to the current self.

Li Wu didn't feel any problem after seeing this scene. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said helplessly: "There's no need to make so much blood, it's very tiring to wipe it up."

Although he was complaining, the investigator still carefully wiped away all the traces on the scene. And when he manually wiped away the last drop of blood on Adric, looking at this miner who was already unable to speak from fear, Li Wu hummed a laugh and said:

"What about him?"

"Leave him here as bait, don't worry about him."

Cheng Shi said it casually, but in fact, he didn't know what he was saying either.

The Lush Horn Crown's resurrection effect only works the first time for everyone, so Cheng Shi knew he had lost the chance to save Adric again. Since that was the case, without determining who would be the "discrepancy" of 【Time】, he couldn't take the risk to bet that others would go to resurrect this key NPC.

So he casually made up a seemingly mysterious arrangement, waiting for the other party to fill in the blanks.

No one knew what Li Wu thought. In short, after he was stunned for a moment, he nodded and said: "Makes sense, then let's leave it."

After speaking, he knocked Adric unconscious, then returned to Cheng Shi's side and asked with a serious face:

"Next, where should we go to find him?"

Cheng Shi heard it; this "him" clearly referred to Jiang Chi, but he didn't know what role Jiang Chi played in this chaotic play, nor did he know where the Jiang Chi Li Wu wanted to find was.

But looking at the other party's appearance, could it be that he wanted to learn from the Great Marshal Hu Wei, break through the void, and find someone by crashing into other trials?

Looking for a needle in a haystack, how to find it?

Although Cheng Shi was "nominally" Hu Wei's boss, he indeed didn't have as many methods as Hu Wei. The fact that the other party could accurately touch into other people's trials didn't mean Cheng Shi could too.

If he really had to break through the void, the only thing he could do was take Li Wu for a spin in the laughter and mockery, but could this meaningless journey block the other party's questioning?

Clearly not!

So how should he answer him?

Cheng Shi was anxious. The time left for him to respond was really not much. In order to give himself more time for brainstorming, he first pretended to be worried and glanced at Adric, then frowned slightly and glanced at the direction of the experimental site outside the window, making a posture of weighing.

Finally! In these few seconds he fought for, in the gap of searching his memory, he suddenly remembered a sentence that the poison had said in the previous trial:

"Jiang Chi is probably a newcomer, a peak newcomer."

The poison said she had only seen the other party once, and the second time was the cooperation in that trial, and before that, she had never heard the other party's name.

But even if a player's Ladder of Audience had just risen to ten or twenty, at most they wouldn't be known to the public, how could they be unknown in a peak game?

Especially since Jiang Chi was also an extremely cautious Time Walker. With his set of ranking patterns, other players would only have a deeper memory of him.

Look, this Pointer Knight can always make the right choice. Although he is a believer of 【Time】, he seems to be favored by 【Fate】!

This should be the perception of peak players with countless intelligence in their hands toward him.

And for the poison, a salesperson selling desire should know more about all potential customers. If even she hadn't heard of this mysterious Time Walker, did it mean that Jiang Chi's appearance was very abrupt, and could abruptness be considered a kind of...... abnormality?

【Time】......

Coincidentally, he is also a believer of 【Time】.

So is there a possibility that Jiang Chi in that trial was already a "discrepancy" of 【Time】!?

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi's pupils shrank suddenly for a moment. ===== CHAPTER 677 =====
