Chapter 690: No! How could there not be!

No! How could there not be!

Correct, the Li Wufang who joined forces with Qin Xin to kill Wu Cun earlier was indeed Cheng Shi.

The Clown is steady. Even if he came up with the most proper method to let Qin Xin find the truth of the 【Time】 disparity, at such an important node, if he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he still wouldn't believe an "outsider," let alone an outsider from another timeline.

So not long after Qin Xin set off, he bid farewell to the Blind Woman and chased after him. In his plan, even if the Abyss Color Crystals were truly the cause of all anomalies, even if Qin Xin could really trigger the 【Time】 disparity where Li Wufang and Wu Cun had mutated, he still had to witness it all with his own eyes to ensure that Qin Xin was not affected by other influences on the way there and back.

This concerns whether the Clown can find his way home, so he is exceptionally cautious.

But what he didn't expect was that he had clearly hidden far enough away, yet he was still leveled by the unreasonable 【Annihilation】 believer who flattened the hill in front of him. So at the moment he was about to be exposed, he had no choice but to use the Chaos Roleplay method to "show" himself as Li Wufang, and pulled out the only wooden bow in his portable space, playing cosplay in front of two peak players.

To be fair, this roleplay was very successful, and the reason for the success was not that Cheng Shi grasped the timing of the battle well, but that he had to thank Long Wang.

Thank Long Wang for the A-rank legal text, which allowed him to gain Qin Xin's trust at a critical moment and kill Wu Cun, who wanted to cause trouble again after being resurrected.

Actually, in Cheng Shi's original intention, he didn't want to kill Wu Cun. He had never spoken a word to this irritable Wu Cun, and he urgently needed to dig some information out of her mouth. But time waits for no one. Judging by the situation at the time, if this Annihilator wasn't pinned down, the clues of the trial would likely be annihilated completely.

Cheng Shi didn't dare to gamble. He was afraid that the Annihilator would really annihilate his way home. So, helplessly, he could only choose to save the clues first.

And at the moment the battle dust settled, Qin Xin's sudden probe made him have to use muddy water to fish and hide in the smoke and dust.

The 【Chaos】 talent allowed him to escape two disasters. Cheng Shi should have been grateful, but at this moment, in this incomparably chaotic game, he really didn't dare to praise 【Chaos】 anymore.

He was afraid that he would be completely confused by 【Time】.

Thus, the cautious Cheng Shi followed Qin Xin's path down the mountain again, but he didn't dare to follow too closely, so he could only trail far behind.

However, along the way, Cheng Shi's heart was very tight. He wasn't afraid of Qin Xin discovering him, but he saw that the road leading to the Inverted Gate was a mess...

Wu Cun, this killing star, really followed the players' footsteps and annihilated her way up.

Fine, fine, fine. If I can't find clues today, you 【Annihilation】 believers, one by one, will definitely have a hard time in the future!

Cheng Shi was so angry his teeth itched, but he was helpless. After all, even all the teammates' backup plans couldn't prevent this 【Annihilation】 believer's rebirth. At this time, he could only hope that the time for her next resurrection would be as long as possible.

Preferably until he found the reason.

But what you fear is what will come. When Cheng Shi just touched down the mountain and turned around a living area that was still relatively intact, Qin Xin, this Fire-Tender who walked much faster than Cheng Shi, was actually standing at the end of this living area, looking at Cheng Shi who was sneaking over with a solemn face.

Of course, at this time, Cheng Shi was still in the image of Li Wufang. Since the vest was worn once, it couldn't be taken off so quickly. First, put the blame on the Investigator's head. Who told him... to be his brother in another timeline?

A brother who doesn't take the blame, what kind of brother is that?

So when he saw Qin Xin discover him, Cheng Shi didn't panic, but instead squeezed out an awkward smile and greeted: "We meet again, Warrior Qin."

However, what he didn't expect was that Qin Xin didn't pay attention to his cosplay at all, and one sentence pointed out his identity, while also bringing a result that made Cheng Shi incomparably shocked and unable to believe.

"There are two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

The good news is, the area you mentioned was not destroyed by the Annihilator; it is preserved very completely.

The bad news is...

It's a pity, you guessed wrong. There are no Abyss Color Crystals there, not even a small piece."

"!!!!!"

Impossible!

Cheng Shi's expression sank. He looked at Qin Xin with a solemn gaze and said word by word: "Take out your Deception Master card and say it again."

"?" Qin Xin shook his head and laughed, directly rejecting Cheng Shi's "suggestion." "A meaningless action. If you believe in the Fire-Tender, you wouldn't question me at this time."

"Bullshit Fire-Tender," Cheng Shi sneered, directly pinching a scalpel in his hand, pointing at Qin Xin, and said, "The Qin Xin I know wouldn't make such a joke with me at this time. You are not the Fire-Tenders I believe in.

I don't know which world you come from, and I don't want to know. I just want to confirm one thing now, and that is whether what you said is true.

Judging by your speed down the mountain and the distance I followed, even with teleportation, you would have at most 10 seconds to explore that area. Heh, 10 seconds, and you tell me there is nothing there?

Qin Xin, you are not the Doctor, not Wang Weijin, not a believer of 【Truth】 or 【Foolishness】, you aren't even a 'Hunter.' How can you exclude all clues of Abyss Color Crystals in such a large area within 10 seconds?

If your perception were truly that keen, then when you were in the shanty town, you wouldn't have just passed by the crystal area, but would have directly dug out this mineral deposit containing special power."

Cheng Shi's words made Qin Xin nod in appreciation, but he still had no intention of proving himself. He sized up Cheng Shi for a moment and smiled:

"And then? No matter what you say, it cannot change the fact that 'I told the truth.'

I know your methods. The Deception Master card is very important to the Fire-Tender. I will not hand it over, nor can I hand it over to someone who is unwilling to stand with the Fire-Tender, let alone you are not the person who rejected me.

However, for Mingyu's sake, I can clear the way and let you explore it yourself again."

"Don't you think you are ridiculous, Qin Xin?" Cheng Shi laughed, but there was no warmth in this laughter at all, instead it was full of coldness. "I have no intention of opposing you, nor do I wish to oppose any Fire-Tender, but your behavior and attitude make me have to suspect that you have other motives.

The Blind Woman told me you come from a world where fire-tending is not easy. So, you have already determined which world we are stepping on, right?

Is this place easier to tend fire than your previous world?

In other words, Qin Xin, you founder of the Fire-Tenders, do you still want to return to that world that is stumbling, or is the fire you want to tend actually the fire of this world we are stepping on?!"

This is an extremely heart-piercing question. Cheng Shi saw that the opponent seemed to be deliberately obstructing, so he had to speculate about the Qin Xin before him with the worst intentions.

And the moment these words were finished, Cheng Shi moved.

At such a critical moment, he didn't dare to trust a "Qin Xin" whose personality was completely different from Qin Xin's, so he had to ensure that the Qin Xin before him told the truth, and confirm that the opponent hadn't secretly hidden the Abyss Color Crystal that should have revealed the essence of the 【Time】 disparity because of some "filthy" thoughts.

Thus, he threw a scalpel at Qin Xin. But no matter how strong a Clown's wrist strength is, at most it's just bullying NPCs. In front of a peak player, this scalpel appeared somewhat weak.

Qin Xin flicked his finger and deflected this flying knife that couldn't even be counted as an attack, and looked at Cheng Shi with a meaningful smile, saying:

"You want to fight me?"

"It's you who wants to fight me!

But, the one fighting you won't be me, but, her!"

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Shi turned around and exerted force, throwing a headless corpse straight at Qin Xin. ===== CHAPTER 691 =====
