The Fool of the Gods

The night in Yuanmu Town was very quiet, even a little scary.

Except for a few candlelights in the residents' houses, it was pitch black outside.

It was only after a bunch of prisoners were released that this deserted night became a little more lively.

Watching them cheering and running towards the center of the town, Cheng Shi hid his body and walked in another direction.

Eternal Church.

This is a building built with huge stone bricks. The style is completely different from the buildings of underground faith. The snow-white exterior walls are painted with rounds of suns, clearly showing who the benefactor of their faith is.

Cheng Shi stood outside the church and observed for a long time, until he confirmed that there was no one inside, he climbed in through the window.

And at this moment, the two people on the roof finally responded.

"Follow me or not?"

Qin Chaoge was eager to try, but Li Bola did not act immediately. She looked at Qin Chaoge meaningfully and said:

"You can hear where I am from such a distance. Now you are on the roof, can't you hear Cheng Shi inside?"

Qin Chaoge's body froze and he retracted his feet stiffly.

But then she asked for a price openly:

"Why should I share what I heard with you?"

Li Bola smiled and thought to herself that it was as expected.

"I have a bigger secret, let me trade it with you."

Qin Chaoge glanced at the bulge on the hunter's chest and raised his eyebrows with interest:

"It's a deal."

...

Qin Chaoge lied.

And she said it twice.

She lied in the room where her teammates died at the beginning.

She didn't kill the dead tourist assistant.

Later, before she started investigating outside the hotel, she lied again.

Her own tourist assistant was not dead either.

Otherwise, she would not be imprisoned for molestation.

In this way, this singer of [War] seems to be inclined to lawfulness.

But this is also the reason why Cheng Shi is confused.

Why would a singer of lawfulness claim a murder that should not be hers?

Is she also looking for the murderer?

Maybe, but in any case, Cheng Shi will soon know the answer.

The bodies are placed in the hall of the Eternal Church, not just one.

A quick glance shows that there are about a dozen bodies here, some big and some small.

It seems that there is nothing strange, but if you look closely at the cause of death of each person, you will find that almost all of them were stabbed in the heart.

In other words, according to the Far Dusk Town, these people should all be blasphemers.

Interesting.

After death, blasphemers need to be purified by the high priest in the local church before they can be buried.

This [Eternal Sun] is too kind to those who blasphemed him.

Cheng Shi searched among the corpses for a while, and soon found the corpse of the [Silent] teammate, and then stood beside the corpse for a long time with bated breath.

It was not until Qin Chaoge, who was standing on the roof, frowned and even wondered if Cheng Shi below had slipped away silently that he slowly reached out his hand, took off the brooch on his chest, and used [Memories of the Dead] on the corpse.

A light with a green and a faint blue color slowly flowed out from the brooch, and as Cheng Shi's arm moved, it was evenly poured on the corpse.

After this soft light enveloped the entire corpse, the [Silent] believer suddenly twitched all over and opened his eyes suddenly.

There was a green ghost flame swirling in his eyes, his mouth was slightly open, and the tip of his tongue was swirling with a blue light stream.

This was the first time Cheng Shi had seen this magical dead person chat technique. He pulled out the corpse's tongue with great curiosity, and found that the feel had not improved, and it was still a dead person's feel.

The instructions for using [Memories of the Dead] are very clear. The awakened corpse will answer the first question truthfully.

Cheng Shi had no doubt about such a clear description, and he had already prepared a draft in his mind, so he asked directly:

"Tell me all your impressions of the murderer who killed you."

After asking, he held his breath and prepared to memorize the corpse's answer.

However...

The corpse didn't say a word.

"?"

Cheng Shi was a little confused.

He saw the blue light on the tip of the corpse's tongue flickering, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong, but the corpse just didn't respond.

"???"

Brother, you didn't make a half-finished product for me, did you?

Cheng Shi looked at the finger bone brooch in his hand in shock, and his heart was completely hopeless.

It's over, I've become a clown.

After a series of operations to bypass everyone, the brooch had a problem.

No, is this how you understand the authority of [Memory]?

Is it a bit too exaggerated?

But then Cheng Shi became confused again.

Death doesn't seem to be a god who likes to joke, and his creations are not so unreliable, at least the bonesThe Ring of Pulelel is very useful.

So, is it possible that there is something wrong with my operation method?

Cheng Shi began to doubt himself. He repeated all the actions just now in his mind and found that there was no problem at all.

The eyes of the corpse were open, which means that the effect is correct. Why doesn't it speak?

Try asking another question.

"You are not committing suicide, right?"

"......"

"What's your name?"

"......"

"Hello?"

"......"

Cheng Shi was completely silent now. He frowned and looked at the brooch in his hand. After thinking about it, he decided to do another experiment.

So he walked towards the bearded male corpse closest to him and released [Memories of the Dead] again.

The corpse immediately changed, and opened its eyes as seen just now.

Seeing that it worked, Cheng Shi immediately asked:

"How did you die?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the mouth of the corpse slowly opened, and a hoarse sound like the air leaking from the underworld came out of the mouth.

"Someone...broke into...my room...stabbed me...from behind...damn...it hurts..."

? ? ?

Isn't that okay?

Cheng Shi was dumbfounded.

He asked again:

"What's your name?"

"Damn...I peed on my shoes again...These shoes are not good..."

"..."

Cheng Shi was dumbfounded again.

He looked at the stranger's body speechlessly, then at the brooch, then at the brooch, then at the teammate's body, and after thinking for a long time, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind.

He realized it!

"Ah?

So this is what you mean by truthfulness?

People with foul mouths have to carry their bad mouth with them even after death, and believers of [Silence] still practice silence after death, right?

My brother, your understanding...

isn't it a bit too great?"

Cheng Shi looked at the brooch in his hand with a dark face, and for a moment he didn't know whether to scold or praise.

Because when the second corpse opened its eyes, the teammate's corpse had lost its effect.

Now, the murderer was not found, and he still owed two sacrifices.

A series of mentally retarded operations made Cheng Shi want to slap himself twice.

"Don't be angry, keep smiling.

No, I can't help it.

Wow——

It's so hard for me!!"

...
