Chapter 678: A Person of Destiny!? How could it be a Person of Destiny?
A Person of Destiny!? How could it be a Person of Destiny?
Cheng Shi was extremely cautious. He didn't know what identity Li Wu had in that organization, nor did he know how the other Cheng Shi addressed the other party, so he didn't say any substitute, just expressed his meaning clearly in the most concise way.
And this sudden change from defense to offense finally allowed him to fish out the most important news of the day from the other party's mouth.
"No, Boss, a Person of Destiny never doubts their own people. This is the rule you set. Why are you today......"
"!!??"
What is this!?
Person of Destiny?
The organization Li Wu belongs to is actually the Person of Destiny from another timeline!?
Cheng Shi was shocked. He almost pinched his fingers behind his back until they broke before he could barely control his expression.
No wonder!
No wonder when he said everything was guided by 【Fate】, this investigator who believes in 【Order】 would directly shout praise for 【Fate】 in front of him. It turns out he is actually a person of the Person of Destiny!
Good, good, good. It turns out that in another time and space, the Person of Destiny has developed into this appearance!
Cheng Shi didn't have time to think too much. His eyes changed, and he immediately found a new excuse for his gaffe.
"Don't blame me for not believing you. No matter what you say, for the sake of the Person of Destiny, I can only remain suspicious.
Because just now, He...... actually bestowed an oracle upon me."
"!!!" Li Wu's pupils shrank for a moment, and he was shocked: "What oracle?"
"Be careful." Cheng Shi's expression was cold, staring fixedly at the other party's eyes. At this moment, it seemed as if he was the investigator, and Li Wu was just a suspect he was examining.
"He only said two words to me: Be careful.
But I think, what kind of situation could make Him deliberately bestow these two words upon me?
If it were an outsider, there would be no need for Him to remind me, so...... you should understand what I mean.
We both know what we are doing. If there is any interference from 【Time】 here, I wouldn't be surprised at all.
So, sorry, brother. Before everything can return to normal, you'd better stay with this smuggler for a while.
He is probably one of the answers to this game. Letting you watch him is already the greatest trust I have in you.
Don't let down my trust."
As he spoke, Cheng Shi smiled, took a step back, retracted the scalpel into his sleeve, and at the same time immediately clenched the smoke bomb in his cuff.
He made many probes at once, and even called the other party "brother," but he didn't know if this "brother" was called correctly. But even if it wasn't, in such a tense situation, he could sophistically argue that he was using a fake substitute to test the other party.
But sometimes sophistry isn't necessarily useful, so the means of escape must be held in hand at all times.
However, Li Wu did accept it. He wasn't surprised by the title of brother, but he had complaints about Cheng Shi's arrangement.
"No, Boss, even if the blind woman changed, you can't doubt me. I'm wronged. I haven't been by your side all day, so I can't even prove my innocence now."
Cheng Shi smiled:
"You don't need to prove your innocence. When I find out everything, I will personally prove that you are innocent.
However...... before I figure everything out, I must first confirm whether Jiang Chi is really dead."
Li Wu was stunned: "But didn't you say......"
"It was the blind woman who told me. She, like Qin Xin, has become different from this morning. I'm not quite sure about the state of the two of them, so I did some testing on her first.
The blind woman is very smart, she also tested me in turn, and in this confrontation, I heard about Jiang Chi.
She asked me why I insisted on killing Jiang Chi.
It was this sentence that woke me up, letting me discover that the 'discrepancy' of 【Time】 appeared on you, and it was also because of this that I hinted many times, letting the two of them take the first shift.
Because I need some time to confirm, to confirm that my brother, you, haven't had any problems."
Hearing this, Li Wu's expression changed several times, and finally he sighed helplessly.
The only wrong choice he made today was not walking with Cheng Shi, so that after the blind woman had a problem, he had no way to prove his innocence.
Yes, he could indeed say all kinds of past things, but he knew better that Cheng Shi was the one who understood the mystery of 【Time】 the best. No one could say whether there would be a "discrepancy Li Wu" whose past was exactly the same as his.
This is the biggest problem in the trial of 【Time】, and it is also the biggest trouble brought to players after 【Time】 broke the rules.
So Li Wu fell silent. He followed Cheng Shi's arrangement and decided to watch the answer to the trial here first. Although whether it was the answer or not was no longer important, his attitude was also a part of proving his loyalty.
"The blind woman is much easier to test than Qin Xin. I will swap Qin Xin out, and then find a chance to have a good talk about 'time' with the blind woman.
If Qin Xin comes to the door, you might as well test him too, to see if he has also become another person.
As for the doctor......
Before getting the divinity, there is no need to worry about him. Whether he has changed or not, as long as he is willing to share the Abyssal Color Crystals, he is harmless."
Cheng Shi analyzed the teammates of the whole trial from a perspective similar to Li Wu's, then waved his hand at Li Wu, signaling the other party to try to relax and stay optimistic, and amidst Li Wu's helpless sigh, he didn't look back and left the room that made him feel mentally suffocated without hesitation.
And the moment Cheng Shi pushed the door out, his eyes instantly became cold, because at this very moment, he really received the oracle of his Benefactor.
It's just that this oracle didn't come from 【Fate】, but from the clown's Benefactor, 【Deception】.
As for the content of the oracle......
"Be careful."
The God of Fun chose to bestow upon him the lie he told when Cheng Shi's heartstrings were tightest.
"......"
Good, good, good!
The trial is getting more and more chaotic, but it's also getting more and more interesting.
Everything Cheng Shi just said to Li Wu was fake. There were no such wonderful stories between him and the blind woman. Even in the current Cheng Shi's eyes, the blind woman might be the only one who hadn't changed from beginning to end. Even Qin Xin...... seemed to have changed.
So Cheng Shi didn't lie to Li Wu about one thing, which was that at this very moment, he really wanted to find the blind woman to discuss. In this trial where players are suspected of becoming "discrepancies," he must find a teammate he can trust and entrust his back to.
And this position, from the beginning of the trial, has always been the blind woman.
Li Wu trusts him, but he doesn't dare to trust a Person of Destiny who he has never recruited into the Person of Destiny!
So Cheng Shi took a deep breath, looking at the 【Abyssal Volcano】 spraying like a waterfall in the distance, cold light flashing in his cold eyes.
What happened in this trial, where did Li Wu come from, is the Jiang Chi he saw really a "discrepancy" of 【Time】, and has Qin Xin, the founder of the fire-spreader, really been "replaced" like the investigator?
Even...... whether the only one who didn't see any changes, the blind woman, really didn't change......
There are too many questions, so many that it's unimaginable.
However, no matter how many questions there are, they aren't unsolvable. And for a believer of 【Deception】, their way of solving problems is often to initiate a probing scam first.
So the next victim to be invited, will it be that prophet who has seen 【Fate】?
Thinking of this, Cheng Shi lowered his cold eyes, laughed at himself, and strode toward the experimental site.
Today, the clown from 【Void】 is going to try to see if he can tear open the disguise of 【Time】 with a scam and point directly to the essence of 【Existence】! ===== CHAPTER 679 =====
