Chapter 822: Say: I am Zhen Xin

Say: I am Zhen Xin

Not long after the group walked, they came to a ruin. Looking at this pile of gravel that was almost razed to the ground and had no storage space, Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow unexpectedly.

"Mr. Prott, don't tell me the so-called mechanical creation is under this ruin..." While speaking, he observed the other party's expression. When he saw this thin scavenger widen his eyes slightly, Cheng Shi snapped his fingers, "In the underground pipes?"

"You... you know about the pipes?" Prott shrank his neck fiercely, feeling that he seemed to have "sold" a useless piece of intelligence.

"Just found out, but don't worry, it won't affect this transaction between us. Your unsaid request is still valid. But speaking of which, why is there such a huge underground pipe system here?

Judging from the town volume on the ground of Sandlais, even if this place is big enough, those larger underground facilities are clearly redundant and wasteful."

The question Cheng Shi asked was also the question Zhang Jizu wanted to know, but this 【Death】 God-Chosen didn't look at Prott at this moment, but instead glanced at Watching Ai Si with a glance.

He felt that this Supervisor might know the answer. Sure enough, after hearing Cheng Shi's words, Watching Ai Si's expression appeared unnatural for a moment, and then she walked forward two steps with her giant blade, pretending to look around for vigilance, clearly not wanting to expose her inner thoughts.

Prott shook his head and whispered: "That's not an underground pipe. According to Wells, that should be an experimental observation station of the Tower of Rationality."

"?"

Experimental observation station?

An observation station built under a garbage heap of experimental waste?

Used to observe what?

Market price fluctuations of waste?

Cheng Shi was stunned, but soon he realized that the observation the other party mentioned was not the current observation, but... the observation of Sandlais's past!

This place was likely not an ordinary abyss hole suitable for dumping garbage before it was abandoned; it was very likely a test field of the Tower of Rationality itself!

Not bad, this looks like something the Tower of Rationality can do.

Cheng Shi felt it was very reasonable, but he still had doubts in his heart. How did this scavenger, who looked timid, know so many secrets about Wells?

In the stronghold just now, his standing position was clearly some distance from the love nest of the two, Wells and Barto. Standing so far away meant that he was likely not their direct subordinate.

So how did a marginal small fry know so many leader secrets that many people didn't know?

For a time, Cheng Shi's gaze became sharp. He just wanted to make a move, but didn't expect someone to react faster than him.

I saw Zhang Jizu instantly lift the scalpel and press it against Prott's neck, scaring this thin scavenger to the point of almost collapsing into Squinty Old Zhang's arms.

Zhang Jizu supported the other party's shoulder with one hand and forced with the knife with the other, narrowing his eyes and asking calmly:

"Who are you?"

Prott was about to cry: "I am... I am just a scavenger, Lord, don't kill me, I won't be the boss, and I won't make requests."

"Is your name really Prott?" Zhang Jizu's scalpel tightened another point, gently cutting a blood line on the other party's neck full of goosebumps.

When a drop of hot blood flowed into the collar along the cold neck, Prott was so scared that he could hardly speak. His hands grabbed Zhang Jizu's wrist tightly, and he said with a crying voice: "Yes, I am Prott."

"Say a lie for me to hear?"

Just when Prott was about to be scared to the point of fainting, Cheng Shi patted Zhang Jizu's hand lightly, signaling him to relax, and then pulled up the limp Prott.

"What lie should I say... Don't kill me, let me say anything." The scavenger was almost begging for his life.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi curled his lips and smiled playfully:

"Simple, just say four words:

I am Zhen Xin."

As soon as these words came out, the other two players cast admiring glances at Cheng Shi.

This is indeed the best way to determine the other party's identity.

At present, what everyone is vigilant about is nothing more than being led into the ditch by that missing teammate who is suspected to be Zhen Yi. As long as it can be confirmed that the other party is not Zhen Xin or Zhen Yi, they can continue to follow the scavenger's guidance to explore.

But remember, Zhen Xin can borrow Zhen Yi's talent to confuse her identity, thereby achieving the effect of a "deception master who can tell lies." So, if the other party is Zhen Xin, then this sentence must be true.

And if this sentence is false, it means the other party is neither Zhen Xin nor Zhen Yi.

This question directly blocked all the other party's retreats!

The three people observed Prott's reaction in full battle array. Speaking of which, actually, there is no need to answer. Just looking at Prott's cooperation degree, one can roughly see whether the other party is the Zhen sisters.

He is clearly not.

Because the moment Cheng Shi asked, the other party repeated "I am Zhen Xin" without stopping, fearing that if he was a beat slow, he would die in this ice and snow ruin.

Lie, it is indeed a lie.

This basically ruled out the possibility that the other party was Zhen Xin or Zhen Yi. Seeing this, Watching Ai Si let out a sigh of relief, and Zhang Jizu slightly opened his narrowed eyes. But Cheng Shi was still not at ease, because he knew that the two bastards who impersonated him were also likely to impersonate NPCs.

After all, when they didn't meet them for the second time, no one could guarantee that they had fallen behind them.

So he said again: "Say: I am Li Jingming, I am Long Jing, I am Zhang Jizu..."

"?" Zhang Jizu's eye twitched, and he looked at Cheng Shi with a dark face, "Is it fun?"

"Not very fun, but if this sentence is true, then it's fun."

Cheng Shi smiled brightly and looked at Prott with expectation. Unfortunately, the three sentences in the other party's mouth were all lies.

"Fine, the small game is over. Continue to confess, Lord Prott. As an ordinary scavenger, how did you know so many secrets of Wells?"

Prott saw that he finally escaped death, lost his strength for a while, fell to the ground again, covered his neck, gasped for breath and said:

"I once was lazy in the snow... that is, digging a snow cave and burying myself in the ground. In this way, I can keep warm and not be discovered by others.

It was during that time of laziness that I accidentally heard two people approaching. The voice was too familiar. I immediately identified that one of them was Wells, and the other one I had heard of, which was the scavenger leader of the East District, Ye Nuoli.

They... rolled together in the snow not far from me. When fighting, they mentioned this plan. Wells said firmly to Ye Nuoli that he had a new plan and had reached the final stage, hoping that Ye Nuoli could help him.

I heard it clearly, so since then I have never dared to appear in front of Wells's room at will, for fear that my unnatural actions would arouse his suspicion...

That's it, I didn't lie, they said the exact location, and I'm familiar with this area..."

"Why are you so familiar with this place? You don't look like an old scavenger." Zhang Jizu asked with narrowed eyes.

"Because I... often lazy in various places, finding suitable places is what I am good at, and over time..."

"..." Cheng Shi really couldn't help but laugh, "Look, laziness is the first driving force to improve work efficiency.

Not bad, you did a good job. But I still have a question, is this Wells always so aggressive toward men?"

This sentence directly stunned Prott. He thought for a long time and couldn't figure out when Wells, a hesitant person, had ever been aggressive.

Seeing the other party fall into confusion, the three shook their heads and laughed.

Sure enough, NPCs don't understand the fun of puns at all.

"Don't be stunned, Mr. Prott, take us down to see. I want to see what treasures Wells has scavenged in this garbage dump."

At the same time, on the other side, Wells's southern stronghold welcomed another guest, but this guest hid his figure and approached slowly, without alarming anyone in it.

He saw many people fighting for items in a warm house, saw groups of scavengers confronting and insulting each other in front of the house, and even saw scattered people running away with some food, and even a corpse frozen stiff lying in front of the house...

The order here had clearly collapsed.

The visitor frowned, walked directly to the barbed wire along a path that no one noticed, and felt the boiling fog inside the barbed wire, he was slightly stunned.

"Smoke?

Why is the dark gray fog rolling in this fog so like smoke?"

As soon as the words fell, the visitor's ears moved and his expression tightened. He suddenly moved his feet away, reached his hand into a small hole under the barbed wire, and directly pulled out a naked young man buried under the snow and mud.

This young man was thin as a stick, stiff all over, and almost died of hypothermia. The visitor seemed to smell some conspiracy in this person, so he took out a bottle of potion and poured it into the young man's mouth, pulling him back from the line of death.

And when the young man opened his eyes, his first reaction was that his pupils shook violently, and he retreated in horror.

The visitor was stunned and thought thoughtfully: "Who are you?"

The young man was terrified and said with a crying voice: "I said everything you asked, don't kill me, I beg you, I can go."

"I asked who you are."

"I... my name is Prott, I am a scavenger."

"Prott?" The visitor frowned, "Who buried you here?"

The scavenger heard this and rushed backward like a frightened little beast. Don't look at his thin figure, his speed was not slow, but the visitor's reaction was faster. I saw his arm stretch out like rubber for almost two arm spans, and he grabbed the fleeing scavenger back.

The scavenger saw that he couldn't escape at all, and was desperate, saying resignedly:

"It's you! The one who interrogated me, knocked me out, and buried me, it's all you! Let me go, I don't know anything anymore! I confessed everything!"

The visitor raised his eyebrows not too unexpectedly, took off his windbreaker hat, and revealed a face in the blizzard...

Cheng Shi's face.

"Interesting, the me you said, which me is it?" ===== CHAPTER 823 =====
