Chapter 70

The Bureau of the Old, Weak, Sick, and Young

A bit interesting.

The seemingly carefree and talkative actor actually lied at the very beginning when they were introducing themselves.

What's more interesting is that this sentence is very long, and there are many points where he could lie. Cheng Shi couldn't accurately smell what his lie was trying to hide for a moment.

So he remained calm on the surface, but in his heart, he gave Brother General a special attention tag.

After Su Yi Da finished introducing himself, the white-haired old man beside him who had been coughing finally straightened his body and nodded at everyone with a smile.

It's just that this smile looked somewhat painful.

"Sorry everyone, I know time is tight, but the old man still wants to ask one thing first:

Has anyone among you met a college student named 'Cui Qiushi'?"

"Cough, cough, cough... he is tall, taller than me, about 1.83 meters, thin, short hair, maybe he has grown it long now."

"His skin is relatively dark, and there is a scar on the back of his neck, a burn scar."

"Uh, cough, cough... his eyes are more like mine, but there is a mole at the corner of his eye, he..."

Before the old man could finish speaking, Su Yi Da on the side couldn't help it and waved his hand:

"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, I say old man, what are you doing here?

Looking for someone? Who is this person, your grandson?"

The old man shook his head, coughed crazily for a while, then straightened up again and said with an apologetic face:

"I'm really sorry, my body has collapsed."

"He is my son, I just want to know if he is still alive, if he is safe. I have been looking for him for a long time, but I haven't found him yet."

Son?

Cheng Shi looked at the old man with some surprise.

This person looks at least seventy years old; if his son is a college student, didn't he have a child when he was over fifty?

No wonder he is still looking for his son even though the world is in this state; children born in old age are pampered to death.

"No, old man, you must be seventy or eighty this year, and your son is a college student?"

The old man was not angry at Su Yi Da's questioning at all, but just kept nodding, responding while coughing:

"Yes, Qiushi has good grades and was admitted to Nanjiang University of Science and Technology..."

"... Alright, stop talking, who cares which university he was admitted to? There are no universities now."

"Let me tell you, surely no one has seen him. Think about it, there are 12 billion people in the world, and only 6 are matched in each game. It would be a ghost if we could meet him. Besides, he might..."

Perhaps realizing that guessing that the old man's son was already dead was too hurtful, Su Yi Da opened his mouth, but eventually swallowed the words back.

"Sorry, I delayed everyone's time. The old man's name is Cui Dingtian, and I believe in 【Decay】, Sky Ladder 1677 points."

Cui Dingtian, 【Decay】, 1677

【Decay】!

This old man actually stated his faith directly.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Cheng Shi's gaze quickly swept over the others' faces and found that only Tao Yi's expression appeared unnatural for a moment.

Oh, the fun has arrived.

She is a believer in 【Prosperity】!

Su Yi Da was also stunned for a moment:

"You... old man, you just said it like that?"

"Tao Yi is a believer in 【Life】, aren't you afraid she..."

"Sigh, I'm like a tree about to rot, what's there to hide."

"Everyone has seen the old man's physical condition. Now, living one more day is one more day. My greatest wish is to know Qiushi's news before I die."

"Cough, cough, cough... but don't worry, everyone, the old man still has some strength and can help."

"If I hold you back when the time comes, don't worry about me, this is fate."

Cui Dingtian's words were sincere and he didn't lie.

But Cheng Shi looked at this 【Decay】 believer who was truly "like a tree about to rot" and frowned deeply.

In his state, it should be the time when the power of 【Decay】 is at its strongest. To be honest, this person's power of 【Decay】 should be several times that of a young man, but how could he have become like this now?

Strange!

"We need to speed up, everyone, the rain is getting heavier."

The man who first reminded everyone that their personal space was sealed seemed particularly sensitive to everything happening around him.

He slowly moved his gaze away from the old man and wrung the water off his clothes.

"Zhao Qian, 【Civilization】, Hunter, 1937."

Zhao Qian, 【Civilization】, Hunter, 1937

As expected, a hunter!

Cheng Shi smiled slightly and gave himself a thumbs up, but in his heart, he was concerned about Zhao Qian's look just now.

This hunter brother seems very interested in the old man; there is an unspoken lie hidden in his flickering gaze.

Could it be that he found the prey?

Or, has he seen the person named "Cui Qiushi"?

Just as Cheng Shi was carefully observing the old man and the hunter, the young man standing on the side spoke up.

"Gao Yu, 【Civilization】, Mage, 1721."

Gao Yu, 【Civilization】, Mage, 1721

Another mage?

Is today Mage Team Building Day?

Cheng Shi suddenly wanted to laugh.

This little mage already looked a bit tender, and his voice still carried a bit of childishness when it came out.

He still looks like someone who isn't very old.

"High school student?" Cheng Shi asked with a smile.

Gao Yu's face froze, he turned his head and muttered a reply:

"Where are there any high schools left? I'll be 18 soon."

"Oh, high school student."

"..."

Gao Yu looked at Cheng Shi speechlessly, feeling that this person was very boring.

Cheng Shi grinned.

Tsk, little brat.

However... this game is interesting, the old, weak, sick, and young are all here.

As for who the weak one is...

"Cough, cough, Cheng Shi, 【Life】, Priest, 1501."

"Big shots, nice to meet you."

Cheng Shi smiled brightly, as if he felt very honored to be matched with a group of 1700, 1800 big brothers with such a low score.

And when the others heard that Cheng Shi was a priest, their slightly furrowed brows relaxed.

Finally, in this trial of survival in a desperate situation, a priest had arrived.

Although this priest's score was a bit low, it didn't matter, it was better than nothing.

Just at the moment Cheng Shi finished his introduction, the distant horizon suddenly flashed, and not long after, a thunderous roar came.

"Boom—"

Bolts of lightning roamed wantonly in the ink-black clouds, as if there were real dragons bringing wind and rain.

The rain was visibly getting heavier.

"Swish, swish, swish—"

"It seems the initial disaster is related to the rain, very likely a flood or a landslide. Everyone, proceed with the Oracle Walk quickly. After it's over, consider whether to go up or down."

The current position of the six players is on the mountainside. If the disaster is a flood, then the top of the mountain is naturally the safest.

But if it is a landslide, then it is naturally safer to go to the bottom of the valley.

This involves the difficulty of survival later, a decision that can almost affect life and death.

Must be cautious.

After Zhao Qian finished these words, no one moved, except Su Yi Da.

He looked at everyone in astonishment, then turned and left with an awkward expression.

The moment he turned and left, Cheng Shi looked at his constrained back and suddenly started laughing.

Interesting, I actually met a peer.

This person is not from 【Existence】 at all, he is clearly from 【Void】!

A mage of 【Deception】, a master of trickery!

Among the six people present, except for himself, Tao Yi, and Cui Dingtian who are considered to have opposing paths, no one else has opposing paths present, so there is no need to avoid anything.

The Oracle Walk of 【Memory】 is to offer a memory to Him, no matter whose it is; the Oracle Walk of 【Time】 is precision and punctuality.

These two Oracle Walks clearly don't need to be done behind people's backs.

Personal privacy?

Oracle Walk habits?

No, in the current situation where time is tight, these are unnecessary.

Besides, even the believer in 【Prosperity】 didn't leave, why would a believer in 【Existence】 leave alone?

No wonder he opened his mouth with lies!

Because the Oracle Walk of 【Deception】 is deception.

As for whether to deceive the enemy or one's own people, it all depends on the profession and talent.

It's funny to say, the Oracle Walk of the 【Existence】 path does not rely on actual existing items, whereas the Oracle Walk of the 【Void】 path all requires praying to a specific divine token.

The reason Su Yi Da left was probably to cover up his mask.

For 【Deception】 believers without the 【Lies Like Yesterday】 talent, how to disguise their faith has always been a proposition worth pondering.

However, most 【Deception】 believers encountered before would disguise themselves as 【Fate】 believers, because this only requires forging a die, and the rest can be babbled with a glib tongue.

Then, when others are not paying attention, just secretly change the object of prayer to the hidden mask.

It is indeed rare for someone like the Demon Realm General to disguise himself as an 【Existence】 believer.

And there is a good saying: the more you say, the more mistakes you make.

Players who believe in 【Deception】 rarely speak, and once they speak, they point directly to the scam.

Using chatter to cover up one's true intentions and using glibness to divert others' attention is indeed a very clever trick, but the premise is that one must be able to handle it.

Because this is a considerable burden on brainpower and spirit.

Back to the Oracle Walk.

This peer is afraid that he has some smooth little tricks in his hands, which is why he is so cautious.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi became even more interested in him.
