Chapter 89: It really is you!

It really is you!

Su Yi Da stiffly crawled in from outside, and before he even raised his head, he said to Tao Yi:

"It's... your turn... quick, move this half-dead meat cushion... out.

Mm!!??"

"You're awake?"

Su Yi Da raised his head and suddenly met Cheng Shi's cold gaze.

There wasn't a trace of shame or unease in his eyes for having killed Cheng Shi; he even seemed to have forgotten about it, just chuckling mockingly:

"So there's still a priest in our team, how lucky.

I thought you were Tao Yi's backup food."

Tao Yi heard this and didn't say anything.

A believer of 【Prosperity】 would indeed lose a lot of divine power if they didn't eat for a long time. If Cheng Shi didn't wake up, he really might become backup food.

The reason everyone had silently guarded him for so long was just because this priest identity gave everyone a little bit of hope.

Cheng Shi knew this well, so he struggled to cast a healing spell.

The target wasn't Su Yi Da, but Tao Yi.

But the effect of sharing the divine grace still made Su Yi Da feel a hint of the comfort of being healed.

"Cast another one! I'm freezing to death!"

Cheng Shi sneered in his heart and ignored Su Yi Da's request.

He struggled to sit up, but because of his weakness, he fell toward Su Yi Da.

Su Yi Da didn't dodge and caught him.

"I know you're weak, but everyone is weak, so this act is useless. Time is up. If you want to live, you have to go out and take turns guarding."

Cheng Shi also held Su Yi Da's arm and asked: "Did you save me?"

"If you're talking about 'Fleeting Light', it doesn't count. You should thank yourself for letting yourself live five more days."

Su Yi Da smiled, his smile full of playfulness.

"What did you see in the void rift?"

Su Yi Da was still smiling, but upon hearing this, his expression instantly turned cold.

"Saw death and lies. Some people's stories are told brilliantly, but they are all fake."

Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows and confirmed one thing.

The Su Yi Da who killed him didn't seem to be the one in front of him.

This is interesting. What kind of existence appeared in the void to impersonate Su Yi Da and kill him?

Or, it wasn't an impersonation at all.

At this moment, the same thought as Zhao Qian's rose in Cheng Shi's mind.

An acquaintance who knew everything about him and even said "long time no see," could it be...

From the future?

But this inference didn't fit Cheng Shi's cognition, because all powers related to backtracking could not reach past trials.

This should be a recognized trial rule; players alone couldn't break it.

Wait...

If players couldn't break the rules...

Does that mean some existence took action?

A flash of inspiration struck Cheng Shi's mind, and he felt he had guessed the answer.

At some moment in the future, a special existence sent the Su Yi Da of that time back to the present to kill him!

And then the murderer left and returned to the future that belonged to him.

However, this inference still had loopholes.

That is, why didn't he die?

If the Su Yi Da who killed him really came from the future, based on Cheng Shi's understanding of 【Fraud】 believers, he definitely wouldn't just simply strangle him and stop.

If it were himself, when facing someone who needed to "backtrack to the past" to kill, he would definitely ensure they were dead beyond dead, so as not to waste this trip.

So... why?

"Are you not afraid of death?"

Cheng Shi looked at Su Yi Da's sneer and suddenly asked.

Su Yi Da raised his eyebrows, thinking Cheng Shi was asking about him stepping into the void rift earlier. He said frankly:

"Afraid, but even more afraid of gaining nothing."

"You really are crazy."

Cheng Shi patted his shoulder and crawled out of the tent from beside him.

Tao Yi, who had been listening for a long time, silently followed him out.

Su Yi Da turned to look at the gap in the tent where the two had crawled out, his expression blank.

When Cheng Shi crawled out of the tent, he realized that the howling wind he had imagined was not on the same level as the current environment.

He had just stepped out when a layer of fine goosebumps broke out all over his body.

His joints began to stiffen significantly, and the air he inhaled even froze his nasal cavity and throat.

So cold?

What kind of ice field could be this cold?

Cheng Shi tremblingly applied some cold resistance to himself and shared this buff with all his teammates.

Except for Su Yi Da.

Cui Dingtian clearly looked happy when he saw Cheng Shi wake up, but when he thought that Cheng Shi only had five days left to live like himself, his smile became somewhat wistful.

Gao Yu was the same, but this joy no longer had the "intimacy" of before; it was more like concern between ordinary teammates.

Cheng Shi keenly noticed the change in Gao Yu's attitude. He nodded to the two of them calmly, then learned from Tao Yi and guarded outside quietly and dutifully.

When the gale tore the tent, he rushed over to cover the hole with his body to re-gather the human skin; because Tao Yi's soles were stuck due to the extreme cold, he squeezed out a bit of power to leak a trace of healing effect from his fingertips so she wouldn't be so unable to move.

The cold wind in the sky blew wantonly, and the temperature continued to drop.

After an hour or so, Cheng Shi felt that except for his heart still beating weakly, there was almost no part of his body that wasn't frozen stiff.

"Is... time... up?"

Tao Yi couldn't even nod. With her face covered in frost, she crawled on the ground, inch by inch toward the tent.

Cheng Shi followed closely behind.

Every step was extremely difficult, every step was like crossing a cold abyss.

However, just before they could crawl into the tent, Su Yi Da crawled out a little earlier than the planned shift time.

He kindly pushed Tao Yi in, then kept rubbing his arms and looked at Cheng Shi, who was walking over.

Cheng Shi's frozen face could no longer make a smile. He walked closer with difficulty and whispered a sentence in Su Yi Da's ear:

"I don't care which node you come from in the future, nor do I care what your purpose is. End all this, otherwise, we die together."

Su Yi Da was somewhat surprised:

"You've been frozen stupid, Cheng Shi. What are you talking about?"

"I don't care which node you come from in the future, nor do I care what your purpose is. End all this, otherwise, we die together.

I won't repeat it a third time."

After speaking, Cheng Shi raised his hand, placed it on his face in the posture of taking off a mask, and used all his strength to squeeze his muscles, forcibly squeezing out a smile that didn't look like a smile.

Just this one move, and Su Yi Da's expression instantly became extremely ugly.

The suspicion in his eyes flashed again and again, the muscles on his face tightened and tightened, countless thoughts raced through his mind in just a few seconds, but in the end, he didn't dare to bet that Cheng Shi was lying.

He had a backup plan!

Sure enough, he should have had a backup plan!

Otherwise, this person couldn't have walked so far in an increasingly cruel trial!

Damn it! He only miscalculated one thing, and that is that Cheng Shi, like him, is an out-and-out lunatic!

No, he's even crazier!

This kind of mutual destruction is completely meaningless!!

But... I can't die yet!

Thus...

Su Yi Da compromised.

He stretched out a hand and waved it lightly. The howling wind in the sky rolled back, the frozen soil for ten thousand miles gradually melted, the surrounding temperature rose rapidly, and dense tree branches even sprouted directly on the distant mountains.

【Time】!

The power of 【Time】!

Su Yi Da just waved his hand, and all time went backward, letting the ice field return to its state before freezing.

Cheng Shi felt the stiffness on his body melting. His legs went soft, and he fell directly to the ground.

Su Yi Da looked at Cheng Shi's weak appearance, his face as black as ink.

"When did you find out?"

Cheng Shi smiled.

He actually wasn't sure; it was just because he had contact with Su Yi Da in the tent earlier, and in that contact, Su Yi Da, who was always fanatical about the 【Divinity】 in his body, didn't have any extra movements.

Just this point alone made Cheng Shi start to doubt his identity.

But he wouldn't say the reason for his suspicion, because he wanted to vent his anger.

Even though he was weak all over, Cheng Shi still braced himself and shrugged his shoulders.

"Didn't see it, just bluffed it out."

"?"

"Ha, hahahaha, hahahaha, it really is you, it really is you!

You really are an out-and-out...

Lunatic!" ===== CHAPTER 90 =====
