Chapter 684: I suspect the trap of [Time] is

I suspect the trap of 【Time】 is......

In the end, Cheng Shi didn't let the blind woman hand over the card and chose to trust her once.

Of course, this was absolutely sincere trust, definitely not because the other party also asked him to hand over the card so he refused.

Looking at the blind woman who was smiling but not smiling in front of him, Cheng Shi rubbed his nose and finally became serious.

"We only need to clarify two points at the moment. First, how the 'discrepancy' of 【Time】 that appeared on us happened. Second, when did the two of us get hit.

As long as we figure out these two points, we will definitely be able to go back safely under the protection of 【Fate】."

The blind woman nodded, expressing agreement, and at the same time, she turned her head to "look" outside the warehouse door. After sensing that Qin Xin had left, she frowned slightly:

"Qin Xin might be very interested in that investigator. He realized our changes and will naturally go to explore the changes of other teammates.

He won't be our obstacle, but he probably won't become our help either.

He is indeed an impeccable fire-spreader, but you are right, the fire he spreads has nothing to do with us."

Not us, it's you. Fire-spreading has nothing to do with me from the beginning.

Cheng Shi muttered to himself, didn't dwell on these, rubbed his chin, and looked at the three people experimenting not far away.

"The doctor should be the first abnormality I discovered. His secret-keeping mentality about his identity changed before and after the first investigation. After that, it was Li Wu's abnormality. His attitude toward 【Fate】 also became different from the beginning......"

Cheng Shi quickly combed through what he had just thought in his heart in front of the blind woman, and then waited quietly for the blind woman's supplement. The blind woman pondered slightly and continued:

"What you said is roughly similar to what I thought, but because I...... missed the disaster of 【Annihilation】 initiated by Wu Cun, hearing you say this now, I am wondering if this person Wu Cun has also changed?"

"?"

Cheng Shi's gaze condensed, he frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded:

"It is indeed possible. Li Wu is a shrewd investigator, and investigators are good at recognizing people. Since he is so worried about the impact of 【Annihilation】, there is no reason for him to let a source of disaster leave his field of vision.

The only explanation is that the Wu Cun we met at the beginning could suppress the violence in her heart, but after separating from Li Wu, she stepped into the trap of 【Time】 and was replaced by another Wu Cun from another timeline, a believer of 【Annihilation】 who couldn't suppress the violence in her heart.

Hmm, although this guess can be explained, we lack key evidence.

However, these changes have already shown that the first 'discrepancy' of 【Time】 should have happened in the first few hours when we acted separately to investigate. At that time, Qin Xin...... didn't seem to have any problems.

Of course, it's also possible that he had already changed, but I didn't see it.

Wang Mou said he was still in a dream. You should know about this, right?"

The blind woman frowned upon hearing this ID: "I asked him, and he said no."

"No!?" Cheng Shi's face was full of astonishment, "He took out the 【Mirror of No Forgotten Dreams】. This mirror is said to be in the hands of the one who is still in a dream."

"The 【Mirror of No Forgotten Dreams】 is indeed in the hands of the one who is still in a dream, but as far as I know, this number one on the 【Memory】 list doesn't seem to be a warrior, but a...... hunter.

He is a Dream-Peeping Ranger."

"Hunter?"

Cheng Shi was stunned, his brow furrowed as he began to carefully recall all the details about Qin Xin since today. When he recalled the other party's reaction in the shantytown, he suddenly felt that the hunter identity wasn't impossible.

"His speed...... indeed doesn't look like a warrior.

It's not difficult for a hunter to disguise as a warrior, but for a warrior to possess a hunter's speed...... that's not easy.

However...... at that time, he had probably already changed?"

"Not bad, at that time he had already become the current him. The Qin Xin we are familiar with was probably thrown to other timelines by 【Time】.

So just judging from his reaction in the shantytown, it's not enough to determine whether he had changed when the first 'discrepancy' of 【Time】 happened."

"This is interesting. No matter how high the difficulty of a trial is, there must be a set of difficulty rules. So what happened in the first trial that made them fall into the discrepancy of 【Time】 in different places?

And why were the two of us affected?"

Cheng Shi fell into deep thought again. And just then, the blind woman frowned:

"The decree of 【Time】 is precise and punctual, so could it be...... a rule evolved around the hour?"

"It's possible, but...... it doesn't look like it!" Cheng Shi shook his head slightly and pondered, "I won't be afraid of you laughing at me, but because of some tricks played by time believers, I am unusually sensitive to the hour. Today, I was guarding against the arrival of the hour almost all day.

I clearly remember who was in front of me at every hour, and whether they made any strange moves. Of course, the one I saw the most was you, but whether it was you or others, they had no abnormalities at the hour.

Actually...... I already have a guess, but this answer still needs to be verified."

"What?"

"Abyssal Color Crystals!" Although Cheng Shi faced the blind woman, his peripheral vision quietly glanced at the scholars and wise men in the center of the warehouse.

"The reason this thought came up initially was because I only considered the changes of Wang Mou and Li Wu. They both underwent some changes in attitude after returning from searching the mine.

This made me sure that there must be some secret in the mine. Later, after learning that the discrepancy of 【Time】 happened to you and me, I immediately realized that this place is very likely to contain the rules for the appearance of discrepancies.

Then to Qin Xin's change......"

"But Qin Xin was with us during the second investigation, he didn't......" Speaking to this point, the blind woman was stunned and stopped herself, because she remembered that there were also two Abyssal Color Crystals hidden in the shantytown!

Those two crystals were exactly the collection of Xiluo Lin of the Extreme Desire Brotherhood.

The blind woman frowned slightly: "You suspect Qin Xin walked near the crystals during the search and was affected?"

"Yes, do you remember the location where Qin Xin went to find the Abyssal Color Crystals? Only he walked that direction. You and I both converged with him from the other side."

Cheng Shi's eyes became brighter and brighter, "Wang Mou must have discovered the crystals the first time, but he couldn't ensure where Qin Xin was, so he gave up taking them.

Of course, it's also possible that when he found the crystals for the first time, the discrepancy on him appeared, which made his covetousness for the Abyssal Color Crystals change, and even took the initiative to give up picking them up. However, this is purely my guess. A believer of 【Truth】, no matter what, probably couldn't give up this level of experimental material.

So following this line of thought, the only reason Qin Xin wasn't affected by the first discrepancy was that he luckily avoided all the locations where Abyssal Color Crystals were hidden in the mine!

And the discrepancy on us happened, probably the moment we witnessed the wise men replicating the experiment!"

The blind woman listened to Cheng Shi's words, pondered and nodded, but soon shook her head again:

"The inference is wonderful, but I have to remind you that Li Wu's first change and that Wu Cun, who couldn't be sure if there was a first change...... they didn't pass through the mine area during the first search!"

"I naturally remember, and this is the direction we need to investigate again. If I'm not wrong, near the living area where they investigated, no, it is very likely that there is another Abyssal Color Crystal hidden around the alley where they separated!"

Cheng Shi looked at the blind woman with burning gaze, word by word: "If we can find that Abyssal Color Crystal there, perhaps we have really found the reason for the appearance of the 'discrepancy'." ===== CHAPTER 685 =====
