The Fool of the Gods

There were at least dozens of service windows in the lobby of the bureau. Cheng Shi and Qin Chaoge lined up in no time.

He looked at the beautiful staff in front of the window and tactfully expressed his request: he wanted to change a tourist assistant.

The staff looked through the reception record and suddenly realized.

Her eyes were full of "understanding", and she smiled and asked Cheng Shi to wait a little longer.

Cheng Shi looked at her meaningful smile and always felt that things were going to develop in a strange direction again.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, a charming handsome guy was led by the staff and walked towards him excitedly.

As soon as they met, he ran to Cheng Shi in small steps and tried to hold Cheng Shi's arm.

Cheng Shi was so scared that his face turned pale, and he couldn't help it...

"Bang!"

"Plop——"

"......"

Cheng Shi was arrested.

Right in the lobby of the bureau.

The charge was intentional injury to a tourist assistant.

The guards arrested him immediately and pronounced a verdict on the spot: his request to change his assistant was rejected and he was imprisoned for three days.

Cheng Shi did not resist. He lowered his head and thought about something. He just let the two soldiers twist his hands behind his back and escorted him to the prison room located in the basement of the office.

You will be shocked if you come here.

In the huge prison room, there are countless travelers locked up, and it is as lively as a vegetable market.

Cheng Shi looked at everything in front of him speechlessly and asked the soldiers who escorted him:

"Why... so many people?"

The soldier seemed to be used to all this. He sneered and said sarcastically:

"The high priest treats you travelers too well. You should be sentenced to death for harming residents. It's a bargain for you scum to be locked up for a few days!"

After that, the two soldiers spat heavily and threw Cheng Shi into a cell.

The imprisoned travelers around him didn't care about the new inmate at all. They chatted and slept, and the scene was peaceful.

Cheng Shi listened to the noisy sounds around him and felt that he had come to a good place by accident.

Everyone here is talented and speaks well. The words that leaked from their mouths are all rare good information.

So he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but his ears were erected high, accepting all the news he could hear.

"Where's the food? Why haven't you sent it yet? I'm hungry! Give me food! Otherwise, don't expect me to give you children!"

"Newcomer, stop shouting. There is only one meal every night. If you want to eat, wait until you are released."

A senior inmate leaned against the wall and waved his hand to persuade him.

"Will they starve to death? Damn, these unruly people! Brother, how long have you been here? What have you done?"

"Me? Sentenced to one month, the crime is malicious gifting.

Listen to my advice, don't abuse this ghost gifting ceremony, otherwise you will be like me and starve for a month here."

"What do you mean? Didn't they ask us to give it, how can there be malicious gifting."

"I know you haven't given them a child when I heard that.

The law of Far Dusk Town is: In the absence of special decrees, each traveler has only one gifting right, and the gifting object can only be a tourist assistant.

There is a familiar... cough cough, with My older sister, who I know well, begged me for a few days, and I gave it to her because I was so compassionate.

You saw the result, alas...

People like you who just came here and committed a crime are still lucky, because they haven't been given children yet, so they still have a chance to enjoy themselves after they are released.

For those of us who have already been given children, there is basically no hope, and we will only be repatriated after we are released.

The tour guide was right, this is a wonderful journey, and I will probably remember it for the rest of my life. "

"Brother, tell me more about this gifting ceremony?"

Many newcomers were making a fuss, and this inmate was also very generous and selflessly shared his experiences.

"The bestowal ceremony is actually meaningless. When your relationship with your tour assistant warms up, she will tell you all the details of the ceremony.

You only need two people to hold hands and recite a difficult prayer, and then they can be given a child under the gaze of their god.

The interesting part is later. In order to express their gratitude, these beauties...

Tsk tsk..."

Cheng Shi didn't continue listening, his brows knitted tightly.

Why does this ceremony sound so much like Hu Xuan's?

If the two ceremonies are the same thing, does it mean that [Eternal Day] is not only related to [birth], is it possible that He is [birth]?

A [true god], hanging in the sky... of Yuanmu Town?

HellJoke.

Puzzled, Cheng Shi turned his attention back to the conversations of his fellow inmates. With someone taking the lead, other inmates also began to share their happy moments.

Cheng Shi saw that the senior inmate was silent, so he leaned over and shouted across the railing.

"Brother, you have a lot of experience. Where are you from?"

The man laughed and replied, "Gasmera."

"Oh, the Tower of Principle and Nature. You look knowledgeable. Are you a traveling scholar?"

"No, no, no, how could I be a scholar? I'm just a... Hey, I'm... What do I do?

Alas, I haven't eaten well recently, so I can't remember things."

Can't remember things?

That's not right. I just mentioned the details without missing any. Why can't I remember when it comes to my profession?

Cheng Shi frowned. Seeing him scratching his head in annoyance, he did not continue to ask. Instead, he turned to look at the new tourist next door who was like him, greeted him and asked:

"Brother, your flowing golden hair is very similar to a Herrscher I met before, very elegant, you are not also a Herrscher, are you?"

"Just kidding, brother. If I were a Herrscher, my whole family would wake up laughing. I am...eh? I remember I seem to be...what?"

Cheng Shi's eyes fixed, and he smiled and interrupted the conversation.

And at this moment, there was a "clang" sound in the cell next to the other side, and another person was locked in.

Cheng Shi heard the sound and looked up, but he saw the new cellmate, who was none other than Qin Chaoge.

The believers of [War] smiled and the first sentence they said when they met was:

"Such a fun thing, you eat it alone without calling me?"

"?"

Cheng Shi shook his head and laughed. How could being locked up with a group of dirty prisoners be considered fun?

He looked at Qin Chaoge who was looking around and said jokingly, "Was the murder discovered?"

"How is that possible? I did it very covertly. He committed suicide."

Cheng Shi smiled helplessly:

"Then how did you get in?"

"I flirted with a staff member and tried to have a baby with her. So I came in. The charge was malicious harassment and I was sentenced to five days."

"Puff——"

Cheng Shi almost choked to death on his own saliva.

You are not wronged.

"You have been here for so long. What did you find?"

Qin Chaoge didn't care about the so-called imprisonment at all. She just thought that Cheng Shi must have seen something and came to find out the news.

In fact, Cheng Shi's coming here was really an accident, but it did make him discover some clues.

Not to mention that these travelers seemed to have no memory of what they did before, just looking at their appearance and temperament, they didn't look like successful people in the Isle of Hope.

They smelled like social scum.

If he remembered correctly, every traveler who came to the town should have come in through the hands of the tour guide he had never met and paid a large sum of money.

Do these people in front of him really have money to come here for entertainment?

Or, even if these travelers who are like homeless people have money, why do they come here instead of using it to improve their lives?

Just to have a child?

Yuanmu Town will not allow them to take these children away. This is their population and the foundation of their belief.

So, what went wrong?

Cheng Shi did not answer Qin Chaoge's question, but asked back:

"Have you heard about the bestowal ceremony?"

Qin Chaoge's expectant eyes froze instantly, and her forehead veins jumped slightly, as if to confirm whether Cheng Shi deliberately angered her.

"Don't do it. I'll tell you, otherwise your sentence will be increased. I'm telling you seriously, have you heard about the bestowal ceremony?"

"I heard about it."

The one who answered him was not the gloomy Qin Chaoge, but another person.

Hearing the voice coming from the side, the two turned their heads in surprise, only to find that the hunter sister had also come to the dungeon at some point, and was looking at them with a smile on her face.

After Qin Chaoge saw her, he immediately returned to his previous cynical look.

"Oh, what a coincidence, you were also caught looking for a duck?"
