The Fool of the Gods

Cheng Shi returned to the bar again and finally talked to the senior inmate.

After chatting for a few words, his doubts were even heavier than before.

After the inmate was pardoned, the Bureau of Affairs arranged a new tourist assistant for him, and the two had already held a ceremony.

He left another child for Yuanmu Town.

Yesterday, he was clearly imprisoned for malicious gifting, so how come he was pardoned today and was given again?

What does the so-called special decree mean?

In a hurry to have a baby?

Is it because there are too many dead blasphemers, and the town is planning to supplement the population?

It sounds a bit reasonable, but this plan is a bit hasty.

Wouldn't changing orders every day cause public resentment?

Just when Cheng Shi was having trouble thinking, the ranger came back.

She brought back an extremely important clue.

"Guess where I went?"

Cheng Shi looked at the dusty Li Bola and said as he guessed:

"It's easy to find out about the special decree. Since you know that Far Dusk Town has reset the granted rights of travelers, you must have wondered if they are replenishing the population. So, did you investigate the population of the town?"

Li Bola put down the glass before she finished the wine in her hand and asked in surprise:

"Are you really not a hunter?"

Cheng Shi pinched a normal refreshing spell and hit Li Bola, sweeping away her fatigue.

"It's getting dark. If you don't share your findings, I'll go cheer for Hu Xuan."

"......

You guessed right. I went to the administrative bureau of Yuanmu Town to investigate the town's population data, but unfortunately, I didn't find it.

But when I returned to the Traveler Affairs Bureau, I found the town's population statistics in their archives, and along with this statistical data, there was also a traveler statistics.

Guess what I found."

"The town's population has not changed?" Cheng Shi guessed casually.

But he didn't expect that Li Bola's face would go dark at this moment.

"Have you looked through it? When? Why don't you say it?

Cheng Shi, you are wasting my time."

"......"

Ah?

Really?

Cheng Shi scratched his head, not knowing how to explain it.

I really just guessed casually.

Looking at Cheng Shi's embarrassed expression, Li Bola knew that he should have guessed it right.

But it's really unpleasant to work all day and then have your colleagues predict the result.

She nodded with a dark face:

"Yes, and no.

The population of the town has always been maintained in a very stable state, but it is not unchanging.

It's just that the overall deviation is well controlled, and the number of people fluctuating up and down will not exceed 100.

You should know that this kind of terrifying and sophisticated population control is almost impossible for an ordinary town with tens of thousands of people.

Because you never know when someone will die and when someone will be born."

Before she finished speaking, Cheng Shi immediately took over with a serious face:

"But Yuanmu Town is different. Their reproduction can only rely on travelers, so as long as the number of travelers is controlled, the number of births can be completely controlled.

I think the traveler data you got should not fluctuate much, right? "

Seeing Li Bola nod seriously, Cheng Shi continued:

"And their death, huh, is probably the so-called "punishment of blasphemers"? "

"All right!

Remember the bodies in the Eternal Church? There were big and small bodies, but there were no old people.

At first I didn't find the problem, but after seeing this population data, I went to investigate many families, and then I found that we overlooked a very important fact:

That is, there are almost no old people in Yuanmu Town!"

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank, and he finally realized why he always thought this town was so strange.

Indeed, there were no elderly people among the town residents I met in the past two days.

The oldest ones were also some older sisters who still had charm and older brothers who were still feminine.

As for the reason...

It is naturally because the residents who are about to grow old all died under the so-called "divine punishment" and never had the chance to enter old age.

So the "night crows singing mournful songs" are all lies. The murderer is not following the night crows to kill people. He has already chosen his target, and the night crows are his guideposts!

Can he tame animals?

"He is controlling the population of the town and also controlling the quality of life of the town's population. Why?" Cheng Shi wondered.

"Why?

Maybe there is no need to think about it. Hu Xuan should be able to find the answer for us."

The two looked out the window and found that the dim sunset in the sky had quietly ended."It's time to go. Where's the singer?"

As soon as the ranger finished speaking, Qin Chaoge appeared at the door of the bar.

Her eyes looking at Cheng Shi were not so friendly. Cheng Shi was flexible and gave a smile.

"I was itching for a moment, and I didn't think you really liked the girl."

"Get lost!"

"Okay, okay, I'm going to get lost."

...

When Cheng Shi stood in front of Hu Xuan again, he found that she had changed again.

Her temperament became more extraordinary and she became more beautiful.

Those deep eyes only needed one look to give people endless impulses to press her under them.

Hey——

The power of reproduction is really terrible.

Cheng Shi's eyes condensed and he guessed something.

"By the way, I know your mother and helped your grandmother deliver her baby. So, should you call me uncle or grandpa?"

Hu Xuan smiled and replied softly:

"It depends on what role you want to play in our relationship.

Personally, I have no objection to either name."

"..."

You can't talk nonsense with someone who talks nonsense in a serious manner.

This will make you feel that I am not crazy enough and don't deserve her at all.

It's... very uncomfortable.

So Cheng Shi decisively changed the subject.

"Why don't you tell your mother this time...your past gave birth to a new life?"

Hu Xuan shook her head:

"I have inherited everything from her, and she no longer has the strength to raise me."

"Every word you say sounds normal, but I always feel creepy. What's going on?"

Hu Xuan smiled, ignored Cheng Shi's joke, and said to everyone:

"The time has come. I promise to take you to find the answer."

Li Bola raised her eyebrows and said a guess in her heart:

"Eternal Church?"

Hu Xuan smiled and nodded:

"Follow me."

As she said that, she jumped high, stepped on the roof step by step, and flew towards the church.

Cheng Shi looked at Hu Xuan who was flying away on her own, with a black line on his face.

What, can you fly?

He turned his head quietly to look at Qin Chaoge, but found that the singer glanced at him coldly, without giving him a song, and also jumped high and chased after him.

Helplessly, he could only look at Li Bola.

Li Bola couldn't hold back her laughter, and turned into a gust of wind, blowing Cheng Shi up to the sky.

"Oh my god, sister, slow down, I'm going to fall down! Ah - blow faster, blow faster -"

"......"

It's quite interesting to run with the wind, but it's not recommended to do it often.

You will vomit.

When they arrived at the station, Cheng Shi's face turned pale.

Hu Xuan led everyone around the main entrance to a place at the back door, closed her eyes and began to feel the strangeness around her.

A few minutes later, she smiled and opened her eyes, stretched out her hand, and chanted to a place in the void:

"Feeling life, nurturing nature!"

A natural force spread out, wrapping everyone's body, and soon everyone felt a slight change in their body.

A palm-sized ball of flesh bulged on everyone's arm.

"???"

"Don't panic, I just use the 'power of new life' to let you bring the 'law of pregnancy', only in this way can we see the truth behind the fog."

As soon as the voice fell, a psychedelic colorful door of the void slowly appeared on the wall of the back door of the Eternal Church.

Everyone looked at all this in shock and was speechless for a while.

"Where does this door lead to?"

"Unknown.

But I know that He is there, waiting for me."

Hu Xuan smiled firmly and took the lead to step in.

Cheng Shi looked at this scene with an extremely solemn face.

This is a door leading to the void!

He felt the call of fate in it, which means that the answer to the trial is hidden behind this door:

The node of fate!

Who would have thought that the node of fate would be in the void! ?

In any previous trial, His answer was a specific person, object or scene in reality.

And this time, He put the answer in the void!

"If... I mean if, without Hu Xuan's 'new power', how can we find this door?"

This question was asked by Cheng Shi, and the target was naturally Li Bola and Qin Chaoge.

The two of them obviously realized the severity of this problem.

Not to mention that they have not found any clues about the information and location of this door, just making the door appear is somewhat incredible.

You have to know that the power that stimulated this door is obviously the power that Hu Xuan stole the authority of [Eternal Day] and merged.

And this also means that as long asThe players made a wrong move before and Hu Xuan missed this power, so they can only think of another way.

But the problem is that under the wrong guidance of empiricism, do they have time?

This trial is only given three days.

Li Bola thought of this, and she sighed with a complicated expression:

"This is fate.

It seems that this time, fate favors us.

At least we should be thankful that Hu Xuan is not the murderer who killed his teammates, and we have successfully come together."

Speaking of the murderer...

By the way, where did Ji Ran go?

Cheng Shi suddenly looked at Li Bola, but saw that Li Bola's face sank and shook his head.

"Before opening the door, my wind told me that he was still in the hotel.

And now, he...

disappeared."
