God's Concubine...

Cheng Shi had been pondering what this ghost had to do with the Ear of Secrets, but no amount of conjecture was as simple as seeing it with his own eyes. So he decided to meet this theater guardian that all scavengers were afraid of.

"None of you have seen it, right? Very good.

It just so happens that my eyesight is good, and I can see the essence through the illusion. So today I will help you take a look first."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi directly picked up Barto and walked step by step toward the barbed wire.

Barto realized what was about to happen. He felt that he was about to become the white mouse used for experiments, so he was terrified. He struggled frantically but to no avail, so he could only wail and beg for mercy in a low voice:

"Lord, I was wrong, Lord, don't throw me in, I will die, Lord, I will die!"

"Shh, be quiet.

Don't be afraid, I might as well tell you, I am the best priest in this world. No matter who dies, I can save him back from the hands of 【Death】!"

Barto's struggling movements froze. He pointed at Wells with a stunned face and said tremblingly: "Then Wells...?"

"Ahem, that's not important."

Cheng Shi quickly reached out to cover the other party's eyes and comforted him kindly:

"Rest assured, you are different from him. You definitely won't die, at most you will suffer a little.

But I see your masculine spirit... hmm, very sufficient, I think you are not afraid of these small injuries and pains."

"I am not sufficient! I am afraid! I am afraid, Lord!" Barto was scared silly. He protested constantly, but it was useless.

Cheng Shi stopped outside the barbed wire, looked at the scavenger in his hand with a smile, and issued an ultimatum:

"I think you should think about it before speaking. Dying inside, maybe there is a chance of revival, but if you die outside...

You can really only go to 【Death】 to accompany your boss Wells."

"I..." Barto was about to collapse. His expression was distorted, seemingly having made some determination, and he said sadly, "I choose to go down and accompany Wells directly."

"?"

Cheng Shi's expression turned cold: "Very good, you have guts. Since that's the case, then after I throw you in, I won't revive you anymore. In this way, you fulfilled your wish, and I also got the result, win-win, how about it?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Barto's eyes lost their color and he almost fainted. The whole scene was silent, and even the howling cold wind seemed to have stopped for a moment because of fear.

Zhang Jizu and Watching Ai Si looked at each other, and two strange eyes completed a hearty exchange in the silence.

"Is Cheng a devil?" "Was he like this before?"

"Yes." x2

"No—help!"

Just when everyone was silent, a scream broke the silence.

I saw Cheng Shi sneer and throw the deputy of this scavenger group into the barbed wire. With a loud "Boom—," the scavenger's wailing stopped abruptly.

Even if Barto was indeed injured in the process of falling, the image of wailing in pain just now disappeared instantly. The whole person tightened into a shrimp and shrank on the ground, not daring to make any sound.

The fog of the Land of Piety slowly swallowed him, only reflecting a blurred shadow. The scene was still silent.

Zhang Jizu and Watching Ai Si walked up quietly. The three players stuck to the barbed wire and observed the surroundings intently, but found no abnormalities. The so-called ghost didn't seem to appear.

"Hmm? Didn't you say that anyone who enters during the Ghost Tide will die?

Why is there no movement?"

Cheng Shi frowned slightly and just wanted to pull Barto back, but at this moment, the scavenger curled up in the barbed wire twitched involuntarily because of excessive fear, and rubbed a small piece of metal under him, making a tooth-grinding sound.

The next second, everyone heard a weird laugh coming from the depths of the fog, and then a sharp and distorted voice exploded in everyone's ears.

"Wells is dead, what should I do?

How should I spend so many long cold nights alone?

Who else will love me like him and promise to grant me the position of 'God's Concubine' after becoming a god!?"

"??????"

This voice came and went quickly. Just when everyone outside the barbed wire was stunned and shocked, the figure in the fog twitched slightly and completely lost action.

Barto died.

But at this time, no one cared whether he died or not. Everyone's expression on the scene was extremely strange. They were all thinking about what the "God's Concubine" in this weird voice was.

"..."

This is the so-called speaking of other people's secrets?

Acting as a deputy during the day and a handrail at night, right?

Fine, fine, fine, the excitement of this Sandlais is no less than that of Dolgode!

Cheng Shi's eyes twitched violently, but he still looked at Zhang Jizu seriously and asked: "Did you see anything?"

Zhang Jizu's eyes almost narrowed into a line. He shook his head with a solemn expression: "No, nothing, not even the form of the surrounding fog disturbed by the cold wind has changed. This area looks like nothing has ever come."

Watching Ai Si also nodded in agreement:

"Indeed, there is no abnormality at all.

But... what is the 'God's Concubine' that the voice just said? Is it the thing I imagined?

This Barto, isn't he a man?"

"..."

Cheng Shi was very sure that the other party was a man, but now... he was not sure.

"Broaden the gender. Who says only women can be God's Concubines?

Besides, you can't comment on other people's software versions through other people's hardware conditions. What's more, you haven't checked other people's hardware. What if this hardware is not hard?"

"?"

Zhang Jizu was quite speechless, but Watching Ai Si agreed. She glanced at Barto in the barbed wire, nodded and said: "No matter how hard it was before, it must be hard now."

"..." Zhang Jizu was even more speechless. He looked at Cheng Shi and Watching Ai Si, always feeling that these two were on the same channel.

Cheng Shi didn't care about these small details. He rubbed his chin and continued: "Let's not worry about God's Concubine or not. We have big trouble. The time left for us seems to be really not much."

He frowned, pulled back the corpse in the barbed wire with the silk thread wrapped around his hand, and then stretched out a hand from the net hole to throw the corpse back, leaving the chance of revival... to Squinty Old Zhang in front of other scavengers.

Zhang Jizu was stunned.

"Why look at me? Squinty Old Zhang, you wouldn't think that only I need to work in the whole trial, right?

Don't be stunned, revive him, he still has the information we need in his mouth."

"..."

Knowing there is information, why didn't you finish the interrogation before throwing it?

Zhang Jizu was almost laughed at by anger. He took a deep breath and calmed his mood:

"Revival is your promise to him, it has nothing to do with me. Also, are you sure he is still willing to be revived at this moment?

I think you might as well just ask with the brooch."

Cheng Shi curled his lips and rejected the squinty-eyed suggestion.

"That's a way of putting it. Are we still intimate teammates?

If so, why distinguish between you and me.

Brooches and the like should be used as little as possible. Don't forget, there might be a 【Memory】 believer in this round. Humph, I don't want to leave too many traces of memory here.

As for whether this God's Concubine is willing to be revived... don't you revive him first, how do you know?

If he doesn't want to, then kill him again. What do you think?"

What do I think?

I think you are a living Yama.

No, Yama would have to put you on the offering table.

Zhang Jizu's eyelids jumped violently, but he still revived this unlucky ghost. As for the reason... no one knows, just consider it as contributing to the whole team.

And when Barto woke up, he always felt that the eyes everyone looked at him with had changed.

Now, the originally feminine and pale face suddenly turned into a liver color. The whole person curled up into a ball like a cooked shrimp, and never moved again.

Cheng Shi took the scalpel with a strange expression to wake Barto up, then grabbed the other party's collar to lift him up and asked:

"You and Wells have been operating here for so many years, there must be some secrets that outsiders don't know, right?

Tell me, so if I have to enter this fog today, what should I do?

If you can say it, I can help you erase other people's memories.

If you can't say it...

Then sorry, I will erase your neck." ===== CHAPTER 821 =====
