Chapter 677: The Clown

The Clown's Probe

That's it. If the "discrepancy" of 【Time】 is enough to allow players to cross the barriers of different time and space to reach the other side, then since it can be done now, why not in the past?

Li Wu can come from another timeline, so why can't the previous Jiang Chi?

And this can also explain why Jiang Chi is so mysterious, because he doesn't belong to this time and space at all. He is an outsider who stole the identity of Jiang Chi on the current timeline!

But there is still an unexplainable contradiction in this guess, which is why Jiang Chi wouldn't recognize himself—no, it should be why he wouldn't recognize the "Cheng Shi" who should have belonged to the same organization on his original timeline.

Cheng Shi's impression of this Time Walker is extremely deep. Although the other party shouted his name, it was all because of the Zhen Yi farce of self-acting. At that time, the Time Walker didn't reveal a trace of expression or look that they had known each other, and Cheng Shi confirmed that the other party wasn't pretending; he just didn't understand him.

But how to explain this?

Aftereffects of crossing time and space? Or is it that his joining on another timeline was after Jiang Chi "had an accident"?

"......"

No, can't diverge anymore!

So far, this series of conjectures is still rootless duckweed, without basis, just can't stand the building blocks on the duckweed piling higher and higher, making Cheng Shi more and more frightened the more he thinks. Now he urgently needs a solid foundation to support all this, otherwise, if he lets fear mixed with imagination diverge, he will be completely crushed to the ground by the "high-rise buildings" he imagined.

So Cheng Shi's eyes became solemn again. He decided to pry some useful news from the other party's mouth as soon as possible, and decided to follow the clue of Jiang Chi's identity to have a "confused" "confession game" with Li Wu!

"No need to look." Cheng Shi quickly changed his expression, hooked the corner of his mouth, and looked at the investigator in front of him with a playful smile. Before the other party could ask, he preemptively continued, "He is already dead."

"Dead!?" Li Wu's eyes widened suddenly, his face full of astonishment, "Who killed him? No, Boss, did you find the 【Time】 gap?"

【Time】 gap!

Listen, just this one word, Cheng Shi understood many things. His heartstrings tightened suddenly, his guess seemed to be verified.

"No, but just because I didn't find it doesn't mean others can't."

Cheng Shi's words were very vague. He knew that once the topic continued to extend, as long as it extended to Jiang Chi, Li Wu, or that organization, he really couldn't answer at all.

So what he meant by saying this was to lead Li Wu's focus to the teammates of this game. No matter who the other party continued to question, in the case of discussing the teammates of this game, he could say one or two things based on the current information.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Li Wu's expression froze, his brow furrowed:

"You suspect someone came to our side through the 【Time】 gap?"

"!!!!!"

What do you mean came to our side!?

Although I still don't understand, but...... I was waiting for this sentence from you!

A flash of brilliance flashed imperceptibly in Cheng Shi's eyes, and his hand behind his back was clenched into a fist. He nodded pretending to be profound, and in his heart, he had basically concluded that the Li Wu in front of him was definitely a "discrepancy" of 【Time】!

Not only that, perhaps all the guesses about Jiang Chi just now were correct. The investigator wanted to find a Jiang Chi who crossed time and space and left their organization, or rather, left their timeline!

It's just that I don't know if this Jiang Chi will be the one I saw!

Li Wu's words weren't over yet. He frowned and asked: "Or did you see them go to the other side through the gap, Boss?"

Cheng Shi didn't know how to answer this question, but he thought a lot in the gap of Li Wu's pause, and even thought of another question, which was if the investigator really became one of the "discrepancies" of 【Time】, what about the others?

【Time】 probably wouldn't just pick one player who has a "relationship" with himself to "pollute," right?

Since Li Wu became a "discrepancy," Jiang Chi could also be a "discrepancy," what about Dr. Assassination?

Has this believer of 【Truth】 been "polluted"?

Even more terrifying, what about those two fire-spreaders?

Qin Xin and...... um, wait, Qin Xin?

Thinking of Qin Xin, Cheng Shi's hand behind his back clenched three points tighter.

It's broken, Qin Xin also seems to have a problem.

He suddenly remembered the scene where he drove "Ram Horn" in front of Qin Xin. At that time, Qin Xin asked a repeated question he had asked before. He asked if he wanted to combine 【Death】......

But he had clearly used this method of driving the screaming servant in front of him when the blind woman died. Why did he ask such a strange question again when waiting for the second time?

Does this mean that Qin Xin...... the founder of this fire-spreader, also fell into the "discrepancy" of 【Time】?

Cheng Shi carefully recalled Qin Xin's performance, flipping through all the details in his memory. The more he examined his memory, the stranger Qin Xin became when they met again, and the blind woman seemed to have noticed this strangeness.

So, this founder of the fire-spreader favored by 【Deception】...... also got hit?

Cheng Shi didn't dare to think anymore. In an environment with a hunter by his side, he didn't have time to think too much. Looking at Li Wu's increasingly suspicious eyes, Cheng Shi pulled out an ordinary smile and made an ambiguous response.

"I didn't see anything, but I noticed that the blind woman seems a bit different from her at the beginning of the trial.

Don't forget, this is His trial. Who knows if the blind woman's difference......"

Speaking to this point, Cheng Shi made a bet. He opened his mouth to say the biggest guess of the day, and wanted to use this guess as a bargaining chip to trick more information from Li Wu.

"Could it also be the so-called 'discrepancy'?"

As soon as the words fell, Li Wu's expression changed immediately. But what he was thinking in his brain wasn't the blind woman who wasn't present, but the Cheng Shi in front of him who was called "Boss" by himself!

He didn't seem surprised by Cheng Shi's statement at all, and he knew his superior too well. If the "discrepancy" of the trial really fell on the players, then the one who would be hardest to find would definitely be the one in front of him!

However, very quickly, before Li Wu questioned Cheng Shi, Cheng Shi loosened the other party's nerves first.

"That's why I told you just now that I have no problems."

Li Wu was stunned, then the solemnity on his face faded slightly, and he let out a heavy breath.

But just when the investigator figured everything out and was about to regain his smile, Cheng Shi counterattacked. With a stride, he stuck the scalpel in his hand directly on the other party's throat, and said with a playful smile:

"However, how should I confirm that you have no problems?" ===== CHAPTER 678 =====
