Chapter 817: If I believe you again, I

If I believe you again, I'm a dog!

Undoubtedly, the ghost in the Land of Piety that could speak of others' inner secrets must be related to the Ear of Secrets, but it was unclear what the specific relationship between the two was.

Also, what was the so-called method of becoming a god in the Faith Theater?

These two questions swirled in Cheng Shi's mind along the way, leaving him completely baffled. If there really was a method to become a god, how could the Tower of Rationality abandon this city?

But the limping old man just now hadn't lied, which meant that the method to become a god they were looking for likely appeared only after Sandlais was abandoned. So what power gave birth to this so-called method to become a god?

On the way to the southern stronghold where Wells was located, the three of them encountered quite a few scavengers like the limping old man who had come out to scout. The things these people described were roughly similar, so the closer they got to the mysterious Land of Piety, the more curious the three became.

Watching Ai Si dragged her giant blade to open the path in front, while the two Steady Faction members behind them chatted secretly again.

"Old Zhang, didn't you study carefully what background Sandlais had and what stories happened here before you came?"

Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes, slanted a look of disdain at Cheng Shi, and said:

"This should be your job, Cheng Shi. I always thought I would receive more detailed investigation materials before coming, but no, I only waited for a prayer time."

"..." Cheng Shi paused his steps and laughed dryly, "Isn't this because I was busy saving the world? Forgot, forgot. But it's not a big problem; we'll soon know what happened here. I always feel that this Wells should know quite a bit."

Although he said so, Cheng Shi still secretly pointed at Watching Ai Si, who was pricking up her ears in front. After Zhang Jizu caught Cheng Shi's small action, he nodded imperceptibly.

Cheng Shi immediately understood that this former acquaintance was afraid that she knew something about this place, but she chose to hide it.

Interesting.

This behavior couldn't be called wrong, but her attitude was worth examining carefully.

So Cheng Shi took two quick steps, walked to Watching Ai Si's side, and chatted casually as if nothing had happened:

"Supervisor, what is your purpose in coming here?"

The giant blade in Watching Ai Si's hand paused, and she glanced at Cheng Shi: "I have already told your partner."

"But you haven't told me yet." Cheng Shi smiled.

Watching Ai Si sneered, looked back at Zhang Jizu, and shook her head while walking, laughing:

"Cheng, you and God-Chosen Zhang have the same goal and even agreed to travel together. I still have that much discernment.

So, given the relationship between you two, is there any difference in who I tell?"

"Of course there is a difference!" Cheng Shi's voice suddenly lowered a lot. He leaned closer to Watching Ai Si, deliberately avoiding Zhang Jizu, "The person behind you is too deep in his schemes and has too many tricks. Collaborating with him, you can't get a bigger share of the benefits, but I'm different. I will..."

"You will gossip about others to their face?" Watching Ai Si's expression became ambiguous.

"?"

Cheng Shi was stunned and immediately realized that these two had actually reached some agreement.

When?

In the underground pipes before?

He looked back at Zhang Jizu with interest and then faced Watching Ai Si, saying seriously:

"It seems you have some misunderstanding about me, but it's okay. Whatever Old Zhang promised you, I can give double. Such a bargaining chip is enough for you to be an informant for me in this two-person small alliance, how about it?"

"Why do you want to guard against your teammates?"

"That's a way of putting it. The other two bastards impersonating me are also my teammates, shouldn't I guard against them too?

This is called being prepared for a rainy day.

I naturally trust Old Zhang, but I'm afraid he'll be stupid. What if he mistakes the other two for me at some point and makes the wrong choice? So I need someone to help me keep an eye on him."

"Why don't you keep an eye on him yourself? Also, aren't you afraid I'll be stupid?"

"You can't be, you're already smart enough..."

Bad, spoke too fast.

Seeing Watching Ai Si's expression sink, Cheng Shi immediately changed his words:

"... smart. The brains of 【War】 believers are all good. Yeah, I trust you."

This almost unmasked lie left Watching Ai Si not knowing how to scold him for a moment.

I don't even dare to trust my peers, and you dare to trust me?

"..."

That's not right either. Wouldn't thinking like that be treating myself as a fool?

Watching Ai Si was furious. She glared fiercely at Cheng Shi, but didn't make any subsequent moves. She just frowned and pondered for a moment, and then actually agreed to Cheng Shi's request.

It wasn't known if she was practicing what she said at the start, or if she felt that even if they fought, she couldn't beat the other party, so she just accepted it. In short, this Supervisor nodded lightly:

"Fine, I can indeed help you, but I want one thing."

Cheng Shi was happy: "Easy to say, what do you want? I'll ask Old Zhang if he has it."

"?"

Watching Ai Si was stunned. She looked at this liar teammate in front of her in disbelief, only feeling that the other party's face was getting thicker and thicker.

You're here playing the empty-handed white wolf, and the middleman is hard-earning the price difference, right!?

Watching Ai Si laughed in anger: "He doesn't have it, only you have it, because what I want is 【The Disdain of the Dead】. Give me a few bottles of this potion, and I agree to prioritize helping you."

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Shi immediately took out three bottles of black potion and stuffed them into Watching Ai Si's hands.

"???"

Watching Ai Si was finally angry. She lifted her giant blade, looked at Cheng Shi with fire in her eyes, and said: "Clown, you still want to play me? Don't think that just because I can't beat you, I don't dare to draw my sword!"

"..."

Not sister, business is business, don't scold so dirty!

I have a name, why do you always remind me that I'm a clown?

Cheng Shi curled his lips and didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed happily and said: "Do you think this thing is fake?"

"Of course, that's all cheated from 【Nothingness】. Now there are only three of us on the scene. Even if I don't know about this, this medicine can't be real, because your 'audience' is not enough!

You still want to lie to me!?"

"Interesting. Since you think it's fake, why couldn't you bear to throw away these three bottles of fake medicine when you raised your sword?" Cheng Shi's smile became playful.

"..."

Indeed, Watching Ai Si didn't throw away the medicine in her hand. She was thinking that even if there was a glimmer of possibility that these medicines were real, at least it could let her walk further.

But these medicines, she looked down again, could they be real?

"It is indeed fake..."

"You!!!" Watching Ai Si was anxious.

"But the name is fake." Cheng Shi smoothly changed his words and hummed, "They are indeed not called 【The Disdain of the Dead】, but 【The Day of No Defeat】. This is a potion from 【War】, which I picked up during the war of national extinction in the Kingdom of War. There are 6 bottles in total, I'll share 3 with you. How about it, this business doesn't treat you badly, right?" ===== CHAPTER 818 =====
