The Fool of the Gods

The mouse was stunned.

It didn't expect that it would see a sharp silver light as soon as it came out.

At this time, it looked from the tip of the knife to the tail of the knife. After seeing that the person holding the knife was a knight...

Huh? Wait!

Why is this knight wearing a prisoner's helmet! ?

The mouse's two small eyes as big as green beans were wide open. It looked at the "teammate" in front of it who could kill it at any time in disbelief, and raised its claws excitedly.

But as soon as it raised its claws, Cheng Shi pulled its claws down with another scalpel.

"If I were you, I wouldn't move. If I do it again, I'll hit your head instead of your paw.

Pay attention, my good teammate, Mr. Tamer."

"......?"

The mouse was confused again. It squeaked anxiously twice, as if it wanted to say something, but how could a mouse speak human language? So it wanted to raise its paw to gesture, but when it raised its paw halfway, it silently put it back.

It was nothing but fear of death.

Cheng Shi watched it raise its paw again, and the scalpel in his hand moved forward, directly poking into its fur, squeezing out a small drop of blood from under the skin.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Seeing the anxious look of the mouse, Cheng Shi frowned.

He knew that animal trainers had the talent to speak animal language, but he was not sure whether the animal trainers who turned into animals had the talent to speak human language, so he stared at the mouse in front of him who was stamping his feet anxiously for a moment, and suddenly asked:

"Are you not Su Wu?"

The mouse nodded like pounding garlic!

"Are you Li Yi?"

The garlic pounded even harder!

"......"

Fuck, Li Yi is an animal trainer?

No, he is indeed a magician. Although the purification card looks a bit problematic, the honesty card should be fine, so how did Li Yi become a mouse?

Cheng Shi frowned and thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out. The little mouse looked at Cheng Shi in confusion and cried anxiously.

It stretched out its claws and pointed at the ground. Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You only have one chance."

The mouse nodded and carefully wrote a few Chinese characters the size of a fingernail on the ground with his toes.

"I am Li Yi, soul parasite."

That's it!

Cheng Shi suddenly realized that the so-called "purification cards" in Li Yi's hand were not purification cards at all, but soul parasitism cards from the necromancer!

No wonder the "purification light" on the card was green, because it was not the purification light, but the soul parasitism light.

However, Li Yi did not lie. The soul parasitism talent [Death] would indeed purify the host's low-level negative effects before parasitism, so that his soul would be more relaxed when occupying the magpie's nest.

It turned out that Li Yi had this plan. He did not think about exchanging himself with other prisoners at all, but was waiting for someone to die and occupy his body, and then escape by death like Gao San.

But this explosion probably killed all his target groups... No, it may be rotten, so that he had no choice but to parasitize the dead mouse.

This also shows a problem, that is, the explosion was not done by him.

Interesting.

The calculation is good, but there is one thing...

Cheng Shi's eyes fixed, he handed the knife in his hand forward, and snorted:

"Why should I believe you?"

"..."

The mouse stood there in a daze, it thought for a long time, and wrote a few words with its claws.

"Help me find a corpse, I can change back."

After writing, it carefully tore open a small tuft of hair under its belly, and there was a slightly shiny miniature soul parasitic card hidden there.

It's really Li Yi.

To be honest, Cheng Shi's impression of Li Yi is much better than Su Wu. He can't say where this good impression comes from, but he just likes it, even though the two teammates can't see their faces clearly under the prison helmet.

Maybe it's because Li Yi is more like the magician in his imagination?

"So, you are begging me?" Cheng Shi smiled.

Li Yi hesitated for a while and wrote two words: "Cooperation."

"Tsk, are you kidding me, brother?

You are just a mouse now, why should you cooperate with me?"

Cheng Shi did not refuse or accept, and this attitude often represents only one demand, that is:

Add money.

Li Yi pondered for a moment and quoted his price. He wrote:

"I know the way out. It is just below. There is an unfinished sewer connecting to another space. It is very likely that we can get out of the predicament."

The space is limited. In order to express clearly, the mouse had to write and erase at the same time, but before he finished writing, Cheng Shi laughed.

"Oh, thisSo, if I just follow the trail you came from and dig all the way, can I escape?"

"......" The mouse stopped writing stiffly.

"Keep writing, why don't you write anymore, am I right?

You won't doubt my endurance, you know, I am a clown with lies like yesterday, and I also stole the belief of [War] to become a war supervisor. As long as I am given enough time, my milk and potion stocks are enough for me to dig through the island of hope.

At this time, what use are you? "

The mouse stared at Cheng Shi for a long time with a flickering eye, and wrote four words on the ground:

"Master of deception. ”

“......”

Now it was Cheng Shi’s turn to stiffen, his smile froze on his face.

I was careless...

I was confused by the mouse’s short appearance...

What happened?

Has the master of deception become a standard feature of scammers?

How come there is a master of deception when I run into a scammer today?

You should have said it earlier, waiting to see me laugh, right?

Haha, me, a clown.

Cheng Shi grinned, making his stiff smile a little bigger, and then knocked Li Yi’s mouse head with the handle of the knife, knocking him dizzy instantly.

“This is a punishment for your dishonesty, happy cooperation.”

“......”

I hope this is not your anger, Li Yi thought so, holding his head with one paw and reaching out to Cheng Shi with the other paw.

Cheng Shi was stunned, did not stretch out his hand, but just handed over the tip of the knife.

The mouse grabbed the back of the knife with its paw and shook it solemnly.

“Do magicians pay so much attention to rituals? "

The mouse nodded heavily.

Cheng Shi shook his head and laughed:

"Okay, the content of the cooperation is that you lead me to find a way out, and you need to act as an external 'master of deception' for me for a period of time. When someone lies, I hope you don't lie to me.

And I...

will let you go when the time is right, and find you a corpse to parasitize, how about it?

Very good, it seems that you agree, then let's do it, I just happen to have a mouse cage...

What's that look in your eyes?

We are partners now, you have to believe me, am I the kind of person who abuses...animals?"

"Clang——"

Li Yi was locked in the mouse cage without being able to resist.

"..."

His claws grabbed the bars of the cage, and the shocked look seemed to remind him of the moment when the trial began.

Only this time, there was no prison helmet on his head.

"Hey, you said, if I use a soul parasitism card like you, can I take off this helmet? ”

“......”

Li Yi sighed and accepted his fate.

He nodded and carved two more words on the bottom of the cage with his sharp nails:

“Cooperation.”

The meaning was clear. When he regained his true form, he could naturally help Cheng Shi get rid of the helmet that was in the way.

Cheng Shi smiled and nodded, then hung the rat cage around his waist.

“Hold on tight, the Warrior TBM is about to start digging!”
