Chapter 913: Chun and Lin Xi

~8 min read 1,499 words

Chun and Lin Xi

"Who is the player sitting next to you?"

Cheng Shi recalled the images of the two people participating in the battle and, combined with what he saw, could roughly guess the identity of that brain-turned-inside-out, sparse-gray-haired player in this conflict.

Lin Xi!

ID "Rotten Wood," a 【Decay】 top-ranked player who fused with 【Annihilation】, a Plague Cardinal called a "rat" by Big Cat.

Even today, when Big Cat became the spokesperson for 【Prosperity】, his score on the Ladder of Audience was still at the top.

And he didn't know what Big Cat was thinking. She definitely didn't care about that position, but the problem was, wouldn't she fight for the 【Prosperity】 followers?

Cheng Shi couldn't figure it out before, but after running into this conflict today, he suddenly understood.

It turned out that the one who had to fight for the 【Prosperity】 followers wasn't her, but that 【Prosperity】 follower who was fighting Lin Xi in this trial today!

That's right, the one who made the move was a 【Prosperity】 follower, a 【Prosperity】 assassin, Crown of Thorns.

But what Cheng Shi didn't expect was that the other party's image was different from all the 【Prosperity】 followers he had seen before. Even if they were deliberately controlling their hair length, Cheng Shi had never seen a scabby head like the other party's.

"You don't know her?" Sun Miao typed.

"?" Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Is it very strange?"

"It is a bit strange. Everyone says your relationship with Honglin is good. I didn't expect her not to have mentioned her to you?"

"Her name is Chun. You might be very unfamiliar with this name, but if I say her ID..."

"Only Carve Rotten Wood."

"!!!"

It's him!

This scabby head is actually Only Carve Rotten Wood?

No wonder he and Lin Xi were so at odds. Just looking at this ID, one could probably guess that there might be some deep hatred between these two that outsiders didn't know about.

Cheng Shi frowned, looked at the distant battlefield, and continued to ask: "His head... was it Lin Xi who made it like this?"

"Yes and no."

Sun Miao's typing speed was very fast, so fast that afterimages almost appeared on her hands.

It could be seen that she liked typing very much, but while typing, she didn't just cater to Cheng Shi's questions. Instead, she sized up the surroundings to judge the direction to continue moving forward. After a moment, she stepped out directly and said while walking:

"They were originally a couple."

Huh?

Cheng Shi's steps, which had just caught up, stalled instantly, his chin dropping. But immediately after, that emotionless electronic sound made him take back the crazy thoughts in his head.

"Don't misunderstand, Chun just looks like a man now, but she is actually a woman."

"The curse of 【Decay】 made her lose everything as a woman, including her lover."

"Their story is a long one. If you are sure you want to hear it, you might as well think about what information you are prepared to use to exchange with me. Don't forget, I am from the School of History. Although this school is named History, its essence is still an information organization that no one can deny."

"So here, all kinds of information are not forbidden."

"..." Cheng Shi followed behind, watching Sun Miao's hands moving like she was holding a game controller, and always had a kind of abstract, realistic absurdity in his heart.

Sure enough, there are weirdos in the School of History.

Probably only weirdos can play with Zhen Xin.

Cheng Shi pondered for a moment, and the corner of his mouth curled up quickly. He thought of an extremely interesting piece of information to use for exchange, so he said directly:

"【Order】 has a problem."

"!!!"

Sun Miao's figure leading the way stalled violently. She turned her body stiffly, and her gaze finally had a hint of change. She looked at Cheng Shi and typed frantically.

"This is not fresh news. People who understand the Grand Court of Judgment know that at the end of the mid-Civilization Era, the Grand Court of Judgment began to split, and it was even the era where our trial is located."

"No, no, no, you got one thing wrong. Knowing that the Grand Court of Judgment is splitting and knowing that 【Order】 has a problem are not equivalent."

Sun Miao stalled again, and then said expressionlessly:

"Seeing the big from the small, inferring the unknown from the known. Since the appearance has a problem, then naturally, one must explore whether the essence has changed."

"I'm not stupid, I can deduce this conclusion."

Seeing that the other party clearly had a face of neither joy nor sorrow, yet could argue with him seriously, and could even read emotion in this electronic sound with an unchanging tone, Cheng Shi always felt something was weird.

Why did this Vice President of the School of History look more like a scholar than a 【Silence】 follower?

No, it should be said that she looked more like a wise person!

By the way, where did that horse-faced 【Dementia】 believer go?

Doubt arose in Cheng Shi's heart, always feeling that he seemed to have ignored something.

But he didn't reveal it. Instead, while sizing up the other party, he probed:

"【Silence】 is indeed the home of 【Dementia】. Your way of thinking is very similar to those wise people."

"But I need to correct you. Inference is inference, it can never be a fact. Your inference can only give you a floating logical base, while my information is an indisputable, solid fact."

"So, this is still a new piece of information for you."

Sun Miao was silent. After a moment, she typed again: "Have you witnessed 【Order】 having a problem yourself?"

"Of course."

"What problem does He have?"

Cheng Shi smiled. This was what he was waiting for.

"His story is a long one. If you are sure you want to hear it, you might as well think about what information you are prepared to use to exchange with me."

"Don't forget, I am about to be a member of the School of History. Although this school is named History, its essence is still an information organization that no one can deny."

"So here, all kinds of information are not forbidden."

Cheng Shi returned the original words to Sun Miao exactly. These words made Sun Miao's cold face, which was as steady as a mountain, suddenly twitch.

Seeing that the other party seemed to have broken her defense, Cheng Shi smiled happily.

He bypassed the other party and continued to walk forward. Sun Miao lowered her head and paused for a moment before following closely, while saying the past events she knew about the two people.

"Chun and Lin Xi were both 【Decay】 followers."

"?" Cheng Shi was stunned, "Oath-breaking curse?"

"Yes, all the pain she suffered came from the oath-breaking curse. 【Decay】 is like this; He has never let go of anyone who betrayed the faith camp."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi frowned. Indeed, perhaps the previous 【Decay】 had a deep obsession with faith, but now...

He probably hoped that these oath-breakers would be as many as possible, and it would be best if He was the only one left in the universe.

Sun Miao continued typing:

"Since you have heard of Lin Xi, you should know about Lin Xi being inspired by the Coffin Dweller to enter the Sighing Forest to find the Defeated Blood Final Tomb."

"Of course, I not only know, but I also know that the one who inspired him wasn't some Coffin Dweller, but your School of History!"

"?"

Sun Miao was stunned. After pausing for a moment, she continued typing:

"Amazing, it seems Zhen Xin told you quite a few things."

"Also, after all, she transferred your needs to the mission distribution of the School of History. I think your cooperative relationship is far deeper than outsiders guessed."

"That's right, it was indeed our School of History that released the news, letting 【Decay】 followers go to explore the path."

At that time, Lin Xi was just a small character with a score of just over 2,000, but it was such a small character who resolutely stepped onto the dead end of seeking 【Decay】's gaze."

"And as his wife, after persuasion failed, Chun could only helplessly follow him into the Sighing Forest."

"You mean, Lin Xi and Chun found the Defeated Blood Final Tomb together?"

"Their relationship broke down because of the Defeated Blood Final Tomb?"

"That's right, an absurd farce made the 'loving' couple go their separate ways. History written by love is always so dog-blooded, yet attractive."

Typing to here, Cheng Shi found Sun Miao's hands typing slightly trembling. It seemed that the secret she was telling hadn't attracted him, but instead made herself excited.

"..."

Interesting, this Master of Mime has a bit of abstract talent. ===== CHAPTER 914 =====
