Chapter 700: Bad, they all have problems
Bad, they all have problems
"When did he disappear?"
The first to respond to Cheng Shi was the Blind Woman, but she didn't answer Cheng Shi's question directly, instead asking her own doubt.
Cheng Shi glanced at the Blind Woman with an expressionless face, understood what she meant, and nodded:
"You really are with that Qin Xin. Then what about you, Qin Xin, who are you?"
This question was very weird. Qin Xin is of course Qin Xin, who else could he be?
However, the current Qin Xin was not confused by everything before him. He seemed to have guessed something, frowned slightly and said: "Your friend, Qin Xin."
My friend?
Cheng Shi was stunned, and then realized that the opponent was saying he had exchanges and cooperation with himself and it was very smooth, so...
Is he the Qin Xin who witnessed himself blowing up the Blind Woman with the God of Fun ring and stepped into the shanty town with himself?
He's back?
"..."
Cheng Shi's eyelids twitched, feeling a bit speechless. He didn't expect that the reason for the disparity wasn't found, the original time line wasn't found, the Blind Woman was lost, but the Qin Xin who was "familiar" with himself came back.
What is this, a joke?
The destined person who just developed is gone like this?
Is this a joke of 【Fate】, or a sarcasm of 【Time】?
However, Cheng Shi didn't dare to draw a conclusion directly that the Qin Xin before him must be the one who traveled with him. He still needed to confirm it. After all, he always remembered that there were three periods in the hint given by 【Time】:
Past, present, and future.
Thus, he looked at Qin Xin, reached out his hand, and directly made a probe.
"Although my request is very presumptuous, I think my friend will help me reduce trouble. If you are my friend, Qin Xin, please take your..."
Before Cheng Shi finished speaking, Qin Xin moved his steps, took out a Deception Master card from his body, placed it directly in his hand, and said seriously:
"I am not your friend."
A lie!
This is a lie!
He really is the Qin Xin who traveled with himself in the shanty town!
Cheng Shi's heart that had just sunk floated up a bit. Fortunately, at least in this chaotic 【Time】, there is still a trustworthy teammate.
It's just that this trust, after being washed by the 【Time】 disparity, perhaps has to start all over again.
And just when Cheng Shi was re-examining Qin Xin, the Blind Woman suddenly spoke again, asking Qin Xin a baffling question.
"The trial is getting more and more weird. Qin Xin, do you think the four players left at the end in the prophecy I made at the beginning of the trial... will be the three of us, and who?"
"???"
This question didn't confuse Qin Xin, but first stunned Cheng Shi.
No, why is it four? Wasn't it five in the prophecy?
Cheng Shi was shocked, but then a chill burst out from under his skin, raising a layer of goosebumps.
He turned his head fiercely to look at the Blind Woman, wanting to confirm if this was one of the opponent's disparities, and then heard Qin Xin ponder behind him:
"Are you serious?
I think it will be the three of us, but it won't be the three of us right now. Sorry, Mingyu, the ones who win to the end will definitely be Mingyu, Cheng Shi, and me from the same world.
As for the last one... I can't guess."
"!!!"
No, brother... how did you actually answer it? Do you think it's right that there are only four people in the prophecy!?
Bad!
This is right!
Qin Xin doesn't seem to think there is a problem with this question, and this means he has a problem!
Cheng Shi's pupils were almost numb from shrinking. His gaze folded and leaped on the two Fire-Tenders from different worlds. A moment later, when he saw the Blind Woman's "as expected" expression, the heartstrings he had just relaxed tightened to the limit again!
He saw it. The Blind Woman is not wrong, the one who is wrong is Qin Xin!
This is a probe from the Blind Woman. Qin Xin revealed a flaw in the probe. Of course, this answer might not be a flaw to him, because the prophecy he heard only had four people in it.
The Qin Xin before him is not the Qin Xin who traveled with himself at all!
Although he is very similar to the previous Qin Xin, he has cognitive bias, which is the so-called 【Time】 "disparity."
"In the prophecy I got at the beginning, the result was not four people, but five." The Blind Woman sighed, turned to look at Cheng Shi and said, "Looking at your expression, you seem to have the same cognition as me. So Fate-Weaver, this Qin Xin is not the friend you expected. He... also comes from another world."
"..."
"..."
The case is solved. The Blind Woman before him comes from the world where fire-tending is not easy, and the Qin Xin before him comes from the world where the prophecy is wrong. And this Qin Xin from the world where the prophecy is wrong is very similar to the Qin Xin of the original world.
At least, they both dared to send the Deception Master card, which is extremely important to Fire-Tenders, to his hand!
Cheng Shi frowned and clenched the card in his hand.
If the time line where fire-tending is not easy is more like some kind of future, then the so-called time line where the prophecy is wrong is more like the past. After all, the prophecy was made by the Blind Woman at the beginning of the trial.
So the current situation is, the original Blind Woman has become the future Blind Woman, and the future Qin Xin has become the past Qin Xin.
But even after clarifying the current situation, Cheng Shi still felt his brain was in chaos. He took a few deep breaths and asked the Blind Woman suspiciously again:
"How did you know that the prophecy Qin Xin knew was wrong?"
"I don't know." The Blind Woman shook her head, "I just wanted to verify it."
"No, if you didn't know, you couldn't have directly asked about the prophecy!"
Cheng Shi's expression turned cold. There are so many variables in the past, how could a random probe accurately guess that a certain variable is problematic? So he felt the Blind Woman must know something.
And the Blind Woman didn't deny it, because she also wanted to find her way home.
Just as Qin Xin said earlier, this real Fire-Tender An Mingyu who came from the same world as him does not covet the beauty of the outside world. What she wants to protect is her own world.
"It was Li Wufang who revealed it unintentionally. This believer of 【Order】 shared with me his expectations for 【Fate】. It was he who said that the prophecy he heard only had four people, so I remembered this matter."
Li Wufang!?
Has this "destined person" also changed?
No, not necessarily changed. Just a wrong prophecy alone cannot judge the state of the opponent. The identity of the destined person and the error of the prophecy are very likely to belong to the same Li Wufang, which means this Investigator who joined the destined person might belong to some past, not some future.
But all this needs Cheng Shi to go to the mine to confirm.
However, before that, he still has to figure out a problem, and that is how the Blind Woman saved himself and Qin Xin, and whether her rescue method unintentionally mixed in the magic of 【Time】, leading to Qin Xin being replaced right under his nose.
Thus Cheng Shi looked at the Blind Woman again, asking this question with a burning gaze.
And the Blind Woman's answer surprised him again. She pointed to the surrounding alleys, houses, terrified pedestrians, and the flower beds with blue-purple Abyss Rainbow Orchids shaking in front of the house courtyard:
"Past Reenactment.
When I arrived, this area had returned to its original appearance because of the automatic repair of 【Existence】. I could only feel that there were traces of 【War】 and 【Fate】 intersecting here, but I didn't know where you went.
So, in order to find... him, I used a page recording Past Reenactment.
And that 【Fate】 die you saw was the one that hadn't fallen yet at the moment reality shattered in the Past Reenactment.
In other words, the 【Fate】 die in 【Memory】 saved you, and your original 【Fate】 die might have already fallen outside of 【Existence】 and disappeared.
You blasphemed Him, but He forgave you.
Praise 【Fate】. He is... so tolerant.
At least to you."
"..."
This token... was sent back to his hand by Him?
Cheng Shi looked at the red 1 in his hand, his expression exceptionally wonderful. ===== CHAPTER 701 =====
