Chapter 709
The method to join the Fated Ones.
Interesting, this Investigator is a bit interesting.
When Cheng Shi heard these past experiences of Li Wufang, he was really considering whether to pull the other party to join the Fated Ones.
Although the current members of the Fated Ones are all God-Chosen, if you think back carefully, you can find that the development of this organization has no rules. Cheng Shi didn't deliberately pull God-Chosen to join the association, but every time in a God-Chosen match, he always encountered a crisis, and for every crisis, he needed to fool a teammate to help him do something, and thus the Fated Ones were established.
So in the end, this organization doesn't have any real conditions for joining. Even if there are, it's probably being a tool person for the Clown once.
And right now, it is undoubtedly Li Wufang's best opportunity...
Can Cheng Shi beat Li Wufang? The answer is definitely yes. With his current identity as a warrior of today, except for Qin Xin who erupts with the power of 【War】, he doesn't fear anyone else in this trial.
But the trouble is that Li Wufang is a hunter, and his speed is very fast. If he didn't press him to death in one go and let him run away, then there would be many changes in the subsequent trial.
And influenced by the relationship between the two in another timeline, Cheng Shi always felt that there was no need to be so uncompromising toward the other party.
Anyway, this Investigator is Cheng... Er Shi? Whatever, in short, it's another one verified by himself.
So pulling this Investigator into the Fated Ones seemed to have a logical reason, because Cheng Shi did need the other party to cooperate, it's just that this cooperation is...
Cooperating to die for a bit.
He hadn't forgotten that his original intention was to end the trial steadily.
"To be honest, Investigator, your strength is a bit lacking. You are not qualified to join the Fated Ones, but... I appreciate you, I can open a back door for you."
"The Fated Ones!?" Cheng Shi didn't even need to say any other introductory words. Just the name of this organization made Li Wufang almost unable to hold onto his caution and agree to all his requests. "This name... is perfectly fitting for His guidance."
"You have good taste.
The path coming and the path going, all are fated."
As he spoke, Cheng Shi threw a die in front of Li Wufang, and when this die rolled a 1 as usual, the warrior of today smiled and raised the scalpel in his hand.
"I won't talk nonsense with you. The Fated Ones meet all your imaginations about 【Fate】, but wanting to join us is not that simple.
Besides believing in 【Fate】, you must also prove your courage to us, the courage to stake everything on one throw.
And this courage will also be the witness of you being favored by 【Fate】. How about it, want to try?"
When Cheng Shi finished saying this, he had already entered a combat-ready state. If Li Wufang rejected his suggestion, then a collision between 【Order】 and 【Fate】 would definitely occur right now.
Li Wufang also saw it. Although he was confident that he wouldn't die in Cheng Shi's hands, but... the figure in his memory had too much influence on him.
Yes, perhaps when a person recalls the naive actions of childhood after growing up, they can easily find all kinds of flaws in various experiences of childhood, but recalling is recalling after all. You can never deny how important a certain thing occupied in your heart when you were a child.
Just like "good luck added" and "fate guidance," it almost accompanied Li Wufang as he grew up. Even if the later Li Wufang realized it, under the long-term self-persuasion, he had also become a devout 【Fate】 believer.
Although 【Fate】 didn't give him a chance, this wasn't his reason. After all, 【Fate】 is a... cough cough.
So, when Cheng Shi said "Fated Ones" with certainty, this Investigator who had always been spreading 【Fate】 through 【Order】 could no longer suppress the worship and love for 【Fate】 in his heart.
"Do you... want me to die?"
"No, it's not that I want you to die, it's that you yourself want to use the courage of death to verify whether 【Fate】 protects you." Cheng Shi corrected the other party's statement seriously. "I think you should have guessed my purpose. Not bad, I am just taking into account the stability of the trial.
The fewer variables, the greater the probability of winning.
If you believe in Him, then before the trial ends, His protection is enough for you to wake up again.
But if you don't believe... please don't praise Him again in the future, otherwise, it won't just be one god you blaspheme.
Alright, everything that should be said has been said. Now, the choice is yours."
"......"
The scale of 【Order】 swayed. Li Wufang fell into conflict again, but not long after, he recalled the reactions of different Cheng Shis throughout the trial and the attitude of different An Mingyus toward Cheng Shi. He seemed to see the guidance of 【Fate】 gathering, and the place where it gathered was undoubtedly the so-called Fated Ones in Cheng Shi's mouth.
Listen, Fated Ones, what a good name. If this isn't the guidance of 【Fate】, what would be?
After figuring this out, the hesitation in Li Wufang's eyes slowly turned into firmness. He looked at Cheng Shi, then glanced at the scalpel in Cheng Shi's hand, and in Cheng Shi's dumbfounded astonishment, he directly took the knife from the other party, left no message or "last words," and just wiped his own neck straight like that.
The Investigator proved his courage. He died, died by suicide.
Cheng Shi was shocked. This time he was truly shocked.
Although he had long known about the madness of peak players, the scene before him still made him feel shocked.
No, buddy, you really believe whatever I say!
I can see it, you really haven't been beaten up by 【Nothingness】.
But you wiped your own neck so decisively, making it very difficult for me. Why is there suddenly a sense of guilt?
Cheng Shi blinked, and after seeing that there was no divine power flow on the corpse in front of him, he sighed heavily.
Damn it, this is a true 【Fate】 believer.
You 【Order】 are really chaotic enough.
But the goal was finally achieved. Now there is one less uncontrollable variable in the trial. Next is to go back and deal with the other one.
Cheng Shi cleanly carried Li Wufang's corpse, picked up the Abyss Rainbow Orchid bouquet on the ground, and returned to the mine with a smile on his lips.
When Qin Xin and the Blind One saw that Cheng Shi had taken away a living Investigator, but brought back a corpse, their puzzled gazes were as if saying:
Fate Weaver, can you not do without a corpse?
Are you a Fate Weaver or a gravedigger?
Cheng Shi didn't explain that much. He threw Li Wufang's corpse aside, then pulled Qin Xin to the Doctor, and laughed at the Blind One behind him:
"The top of the hour is coming. An Shenxuan, go find a place to have an adventure yourself, we won't accompany you.
The moment Mr. Alan Doyle completes the experiment, this trial will end without any accidents. This time it will definitely not be a flag, I said it, guaranteed."
"......" The Blind One's eyelid twitched, she nodded, and silently left this warehouse that "didn't belong" to her. And the moment she closed the warehouse door and faced the distance, the top of the hour arrived again.
She stood in place, stunned for two seconds, then frowned slightly, turned around, pushed the door, and walked in.
