If you want to follow, then follow

Fresh blood splattered everywhere, the head flew backward.

The light in the Annihilator's eyes went out, but it wasn't over yet. Following that was a "boom," and Qin Xin, clad in heavy armor, did not lose his balance, but directly stepped on the opponent's headless corpse and smashed straight into the ground!

Dust rose, the killing game was settled.

Using his body as an arrow from a hundred paces away, taking the enemy's head in the blink of an eye.

To be fair, although the timing was all created by Li Wufang, in the eyes of this Investigator, this move by Qin Xin was simply too cool.

The burly body combined with the speed of a flying arrow, the clean strike, and the keen sense of smell—this Mirror Person simply turned the battle into art. Even at the moment the battle ended, he could use the splattered blood and raised dust to paint a soul-stirring "settlement screen." This heavy-armored warrior now seemed like a god of war, presenting the aesthetics of violence in a unique way before Li Wufang.

"Clap, clap, clap—"

Li Wufang directly applauded, and he exclaimed with an appreciative face: "Amazing, too amazing. Qin Xin, if someone said you were a believer of 【War】, I wouldn't be surprised at all. Every move you make is simply the best offering to Him."

There was no response in the sky full of smoke and dust, but soon a thin sword refracting volcanic light flew out from the dust and ashes that had not yet settled, like a sharp arrow, and stuck into... the empty ground.

After Li Wufang finished praising, his figure disappeared. Qin Xin's probing received no response.

The Mirror Person walked out of the smoke and dust with a frown. With every step he took, the blood and flesh on the soles of his feet imprinted an exaggerated heavy-armor footprint. He pulled his longsword back from the ground, sensed for a moment, and discovered that this hunter had indeed disappeared.

"The speed is fast enough."

Qin Xin smiled, looked back at the direction of the mine, and then looked at the Inverted Gate at the foot of the mountain. And it was at this moment that the watch in his pocket rang.

The hour had arrived again.

"Investigator, I must remind you, Wu Cun is not dead; her 【Annihilation】 seed has taken effect.

I don't know how many things she annihilated, I have to go see now. If you want to follow, then follow. But what I want to say is, if we meet her again next time, I hope you can still stand on my side."

After speaking, Qin Xin left without hesitation.

And just after he left, just as the sky full of dust and dirt settled, Li Wufang's figure slowly appeared at the edge of the smoke and dust. He looked at the direction Qin Xin left with a frown, lost in thought.

On the other side.

The violent shaking under the mine was even noticed by the people on the mountain. The Blind Woman stood before the warehouse door with a solemn expression, looking toward the direction of the foot of the mountain, a trace of worry flashing across her face.

She had been standing here for quite a while. The watch in her hand showed that the hour had just passed, and the battle below had gradually subsided. The whole process was not long, but who won and who lost, and who was fighting whom, remained a mystery.

She had guesses, but she couldn't be sure. Also confused like her was another person, and that was Li Wufang, who paced out of the room after the commotion below had settled.

This Investigator looked toward the foot of the mountain with great interest, then glanced at the Prophet at the warehouse door, making tsking sounds in his mouth:

"It's really not peaceful these days. The commotion of fighting in the middle of the night makes it hard for people to sleep.

But it's no wonder; everyone carries their own goals. How could the trial be simple?

Don't you think so, God-Chosen An?"

The Blind Woman frowned slightly and did not respond.

Li Wufang seemed to have no interest in resting. He leaned against the door, chatting with the Blind Woman as if to pass the time, but in fact, it was almost all him talking and the Blind Woman listening.

As they chatted, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly asked:

"God-Chosen An, I have always felt that the guidance of 【Fate】 is never aimless.

So... the 4 people remaining on the last day that you saw in your prophecy, could it be the Doctor, you, me, and the winner of the chaotic battle at the foot of the mountain?

My math is not bad; calculating it this way makes exactly four."

"!!??"

Four?

How could it be four?

This was not a probe, because the Deception Master card did not issue a warning. So in the Investigator's cognition, only 4 people survived to the end in his prophecy?

The Blind Woman's expression tightened slightly, her heart sank. She suddenly realized a problem, and that was, is it possible that the disparity of 【Time】 also happened to the players?

Otherwise, how to explain Li Wufang's cognition at this moment?

You must know, believers of 【Order】 do not believe in chaos; they are very clear-headed.

It's bad. If her guess is true, then Qin Xin and Cheng Shi... have they changed?

A chill suddenly rose from the Blind Woman's spine, causing a layer of fine cold sweat to seep out on her back. But she didn't reveal much, instead squeezing out a smile as if nothing had happened, and said to Li Wufang:

"Why not count the Fate-Weaver?"

Li Wufang snorted and laughed, glanced casually at the warehouse behind the Blind Woman, and said happily:

"God-Chosen An, it's no fun if you do that. I am a hunter after all. Even if my score isn't as high as yours, my eyes are still... uh, sorry, my ears are still useful.

The person staring at the Doctor in the warehouse right now is not a living person at all; it's that skeleton controlled by the Fate-Weaver, right?

He should have been keeping watch outside, but now he is gone.

So I have been thinking since just now, what exactly is our priest friend trying to do?

I feel that the three of you have a good relationship and don't look like you are going to have an internal war. So it can only be that the two of them are fighting externally. As for who the target of the battle is, heh, I haven't forgotten, this is a six-person game. Has that Annihilator who has been missing all along appeared again at this time?

Did they go to hunt the mage, or do they have another purpose, and just happened to run into the mage on the way?

God-Chosen An, give me a hint. I feel we can be friends. Believers of 【Order】 have never had any bad intentions."

Li Wufang smiled brightly, but the Blind Woman remained unmoved. Her thoughts were in chaos now. When she found that Li Wufang had become different from the past again, she became more convinced that her guess was correct. The disparity of 【Time】 might really be happening to the players.

Qin Xin... was that local method he heard about actually true?

This works too?

Where on earth did he get this method?

Also, is he... still him? Or has the current Qin Xin become the Qin Xin of another timeline, and she didn't even notice?

Then what about Cheng Shi, this Fate-Weaver who laughs as usual, is he still the friend of that mysterious, aloof Fire-Tender?

Thinking of this, the Blind Woman clenched her fists and turned into the warehouse with a solemn face. And just the moment she pushed the door, Li Wufang shouted again:

"God-Chosen An, I see your expression is a bit strange. Do you need to rest?

Otherwise, let me switch shifts with you in advance?"

Li Wufang was purely being chatty, but he didn't expect the Blind Woman's steps to pause, and she actually agreed.

"Okay, I just happen to want to sleep."

"?"

As soon as the words fell, the Blind Woman stepped back and turned around, walking toward Li Wufang's direction. This dumbfounded Investigator just watched this 【Fate】 God-Chosen pass by him, walk into the room full of foul odor, and lie on the table to take a nap.

"You... are you for real?"

"Keep an eye on the Doctor, unless you don't want divinity anymore." The Blind Woman's words became weaker as she spoke. Li Wufang's eye twitched, he looked at the direction of the warehouse, sighed, and walked over helplessly.

"Fine, fine, fine. 【Order】 is already close to 【Truth】, and 【Civilization】 huddling together for warmth is not impossible."

But just after he left the room where Adrick was held, this Investigator's expression instantly became playful.

Has the prophecy changed? Or did the three of them really have an internal conflict? An Mingyu's expression is not natural at all. Does she want to go down the mountain to find someone?

Interesting. Could it be that Qin Xin and that Fate-Weaver found something better than Abyss Color Crystals? ===== CHAPTER 690 =====
