Chapter 97: Bone Servant under the Wang Zuo

Bone Servant under the Wang Zuo

Cheng Shi felt he had misunderstood Enzhu.

Although He didn't solve the problem of Fleeting Light, He solved the problem of 【Divinity】.

This 【Prosperity】 divinity on his body was really sealed in his body by Him with a slap, exactly the same as the lie he had fabricated before.

Done, he really became Tang Seng now.

But it's fine, at least the aura of 【Prosperity】 didn't dissipate. With His means, under the 【Gods】, perhaps no one can discover it.

Praise the boss.

But this feeling... why is it so much like giving a date after hitting with a stick?

"..."

The trial had ended for a whole day, and until night fell, Cheng Shi didn't see a figure appear on the opposite roof.

Where did the energetic young man run off to?

He had been looking forward to Xie Yang bringing him something fresh again, but didn't expect that since this person got together with that Fan Tingting, he didn't even show his face.

What about the neighborly feelings?

Damn, the clown is me.

Cheng Shi sat on the edge of the roof, enjoying dinner time as usual, until the food in his hand was all eaten, and only then did he finally see Xie Yang appear on the roof.

It's just that his face was a bit ugly.

Cheng Shi was instantly happy.

"Hey, encountered any difficulties? Say it out and let me... enlighten you."

Xie Yang learned from Cheng Shi's appearance, sat on the edge of the roof, and spat out a mouthful of bad luck.

"Finally confirmed the relationship with Tingting, even the space was opened, but..."

"Ah? No, wait a minute."

Cheng Shi was stupid, he counted with his fingers.

"You've only known each other for 1, 2, 3, only three days, right? And you're already living together?"

Damn, no wonder he didn't see anyone. If he could still see anyone, it would be a ghost.

Xu Lu licked for three months and didn't lick her down, this Fan Tingting licked to get together in three days?

Xie Yang didn't seem to care about these at all, he even corrected Cheng Shi's statement:

"To be precise, it's 2 days and 18 hours. I thought I had found the love of my life, but didn't expect her!!"

Speaking of this, Xie Yang's face became indignant.

"You hurry up and say it."

Cheng Shi's legs dangling in mid-air kicked frantically, his expectant expression firm and twisted, like a baboon in heat.

"But didn't expect she was actually a believer of the opposing faith!"

Xie Yang broke down, he cursed loudly:

"She doesn't love me at all!

She was trying to trick me into going over to kill me!

She loves her faith!

She is a liar! A big liar!!

She desecrated pure love!!!"

"... ah?"

No, can it still be played like this?

Cheng Shi was confused.

In his mind, he instantly filled in a whole bloody love story:

Fan Tingting is a believer of 【Silence】. When Xie Yang came to flirt, she saw through his identity, so she used her body as bait to lure him into the hook, wanting to take the opportunity to kill the believer of the opposing faith.

But didn't expect, she was tricked by Xie Yang, who was a simp on the surface.

Watching the fun is watching the fun, if anyone says Xie Yang is an idiot, that can only mean they are an idiot themselves.

This person is not stupid at all, and is very shrewd.

After the two opened the space, he could still run to the roof to complain about this matter, which already showed that in the conflict of opposing faiths, he had already won.

As for how he won...

Cheng Shi sucked his teeth and said with emotion: "So you killed her?"

"I didn't kill her!

I just purified my love!"

"Ah yes yes yes, love cannot be desecrated, stains must be cleared!"

Cheng Shi nodded frantically, and then asked: "Then may I ask, is her corpse still there?"

Few people keep the corpses of their opponents in reality.

But in this unknown confrontation, her opponent was a believer of 【War】.

This group of war lunatics knows best how to process enemy corpses, whether it's human-skin banners or white-bone views, believers of 【War】 always have ways to let enemy corpses exert residual heat after death.

Cheng Shi guessed right, Fan Tingting's corpse was indeed hung on the wall by Xie Yang, counting as a memorial for his short 2 days and 18 hours of love.

Xie Yang frowned upon hearing Cheng Shi ask about the corpse.

"What do you want to do?"

"I've been passionate about necromancy lately, can I, borrow it?"

Xie Yang frowned and pondered for a long time before slowly saying:

"Are you a necromancer?"

Necromancer, as the name suggests, a mage of 【Death】.

Cheng Shi didn't plan to hide it from him and nodded sincerely.

"Counts as paying back a bottle of medicine?"

"Can, deal?"

Xie Yang hesitated again and again, but still refused Cheng Shi's outrageous request, but he gave another solution: 【97-6

Swap it for someone else's corpse.

Cheng Shi agreed without the slightest hesitation.

I admire you all; even as the much-criticized City-Builders, I still admire you.

You really shouldn't think too hard about this, brother.

"Wait here, I'll be right back."

Although Xie Yang said he would be right back, it wasn't until the next day that he tossed a male corpse over.

The corpse was well-preserved, without any damage.

But that was the strangest part; there wasn't even a wound on the body.

How did this person die?

Cheng Shi knew Xie Yang had spent the whole night dealing with the residual power of 【War】 on the corpse, but he didn't call him out on it; instead, after thanking him to his face, he dragged the corpse behind the warehouse.

Immediately after, he took out the Bone Servant Leier's Ring.

Yes, Cheng Shi was preparing to contact that noble lord above the throne.

He had to deal with the "Fleeting Resurgence" buff he had fabricated on himself, but to resolve it, he would inevitably need to schedule another 【Prayer Trial】.

It wasn't that Cheng Shi didn't want to fight; to keep living, he had to participate when necessary.

But if there were a way to avoid the battle, he would naturally be happy to see it happen.

Besides, the work assigned by the boss was finished; he had to report on his progress, right?

Don't treat the boss of a side-hustle company like they aren't a boss!

So, Cheng Shi righteously used the special effect 【Bone Servant Under the Wang Zuo】 on the corpse.

As he raised his hand slightly, a surge of pure power of 【Death】 poured out from the ring, enveloping the corpse.

Before long, its flesh and blood turned to ash, leaving behind only a rough skeleton.

Its current appearance was exactly the same as Cheng Shi's when he had an audience with 【Death】.

But it wasn't over yet.

That power of 【Death】 still lingered on the skeleton; as the green light swept over each bone, that bone seemed to develop consciousness, detaching itself from the frame, hopping and skipping to the side, where it joined the other bones to assemble a small door made of bone.

The size of the door opening was just enough to accommodate a skull.

"......"

He still liked skulls just as much.

When the entire skeleton had fallen apart, that power of 【Death】 finally dissipated.

The mouth on the skull opened and closed twice, clattering, but the voice was different from the skulls in the Fish Bone Hall; it was a clear, robust man's voice.

"Speak! Hurry up and speak! I want to go back! He is waiting for me!"

The tone was identical, but the voice was likely the original voice of the corpse's owner.

Cheng Shi felt a chill; he stared at the skull hopping around on the spot, crouched down, and asked in a low voice:

"Do you have a name?"

"Li Zhi! My name is Li Zhi! Hurry up and speak! I want to go back!"

Oh, this skull didn't seem to be an unconscious pet of 【Death】.

Cheng Shi became interested; he gathered his thoughts for a moment and spoke again:

"Is Xie Yang a follower of 【War】?"

"Who is Xie Yang? Never heard of him! Say something else! Hurry! Faster!"

"......"

It seemed the skull only had a tiny bit of its own consciousness. Cheng Shi wanted to change his approach and ask whose follower he had originally been, but the words died on his lips.

No matter whose follower he had been in life, now, he could only be a bone servant under 【Death】.

"Ahem, listen well, I'm sending a message.

Respected Lord:

I have completed another special trial, and thanks to your great creation, I have luckily survived.

Praise be to you.

In this trial, Leier also successfully served as a beast of burden for you.

He is atoning for his sins, but you need not concern yourself; I will handle everything for you.

However, there was a small accident during this trial, and I have been tainted with something slightly unpleasant.

Although this thing gives me the opportunity to have an audience with you again, I feel I should work harder to spur Leier on, rather than disturb you.

Therefore, I boldly pray to you: could my next audience be postponed?

Your devout employee, Cheng Shi."

Cheng Shi wouldn't dare use the word "follower" even if it killed him, so after much thought, he came up with "employee."

When he finished saying everything with trepidation, the skull closed its mouth and, without another word, charged into the bone door.

Li Zhi vanished.

The skull, along with the bone door, disappeared from the rooftop. Cheng Shi looked at the empty space before him and let out a heavy sigh.

"I hope it works."
