The Fool of the Gods

Cheng Shi made a feint, but he didn't actually leave.

Because the acrobats hadn't come out yet.

Since a stake can kill one rabbit, there's no reason why it can't kill the second one.

But fables are fables, and the ancients have used their wisdom to prove the accuracy of fables, that is, a stake can't kill the second rabbit.

Cheng Shi waited here for 5 or 6 hours but couldn't wait for the acrobat. He estimated that it was dark outside and it was a good time to get out, so he gave up the idea of ​​waiting and left the mine.

"Could it be that the one who died in place of Gao San?

Although he is a little stupid, he doesn't seem stupid...

Maybe he crawled back along the pipe he came from?"

Cheng Shi thought about it and felt that it made sense.

In this case... why not go to the ruins of the arena to block him.

Speaking of which, Cheng Shi didn't seem to have any grudges with Gao San. It was normal for scammers to deceive each other. As long as they didn't cheat each other to death, there was a possibility of cooperation again.

So his trip to the ruins of the arena was not simply to stop Gao San, but for another teammate, Zhao Si.

This clever trickster pushed himself into danger for self-protection, and this account should be settled.

It's funny to say that this trial has not lasted more than a day, but three of his five teammates have died, and all died in his hands.

I have to sigh at the fickleness of fate.

Cheng Shi shook his head and laughed.

Although the trial was not long, after going through so much, he had some special ideas about this extremely chaotic trial, but these rather absurd ideas still need to be verified, and the verification method happened to be related to the trickster.

So I must find him.

Cheng Shi left the abandoned mine at full speed and returned to the surface.

The surface corresponding to this mine is obviously not outside the city, and the size of the laboratory cannot be compared with a city. When Cheng Shi climbed up the last wooden ladder and pushed open the wooden board of the shaft, he found himself in a house in the city.

It was late at night, and the moonlight was cold but not dim.

Cheng Shi looked around in the moonlight and confirmed that no one lived in the house, which seemed to be a disguise.

But the fact that no one lived in the courtyard did not mean that it was not lively outside. The other side of the courtyard wall seemed to be the gathering point of the city guards. Many knights were holding magic lamps to summon their companions, looking like they were going to take over the rescue work.

He turned his eyes and secretly climbed over the wall. After knocking out a lucky guy at random, he put on his armor and picked up his lance, and followed the large army back to the arena.

However, the arena had become a cenote at this time. Under the illumination of the magic lamps connected in series, it could be seen that the pit was full of broken wood, iron, and gray stone remains.

Countless distorted corpses were carried out of the ruins by the knights. Being able to pick up a complete corpse was the luckiest thing that happened in this unfortunate disaster.

Wails and sighs resounded through the sky, and suffering and misfortune lingered.

The scene was so tragic that the air was filled with sadness, and Cheng Shi, one of the "culprits" who created this disaster, also had a sad face.

Unfortunately, the sadness on his face was not for anything else, but for disguise. After all, the whole team looked bad. If he didn't fit in at this time, his identity would be exposed.

He listened silently for a long time, and finally asked the person next to him with red eyes:

"Has the cause of the explosion been found out?"

"It seems that it has been found out, but it has not been announced yet. When the captain received the order tonight, he heard the Iron Knights reporting to the judges that there was a problem within them."

"Ah?"

"Hush! Keep your voice down, don't worry about your life, the Supreme Judge hasn't left yet, and the Iron Knights are around you and me. Do you want them to know that we are saying bad things about them?"

"......"Brother, I only asked one question, and the rest are all said by you. Why are you so dramatic?

Cheng Shi approached him speechlessly and expectantly, trying his best to pretend to be very interested, listening to this teammate who was very eager to share what he had heard.

"It was not the Iron Knights who discovered it at first, but we discovered it. The brothers of the City Guard Knights found unexploded explosives in the ruins. After testing, they found that the ratio of the explosives was similar to the common formula of the Iron Knights, so they reported it.

Guess what, when the Iron Knights investigated, they found that someone had been buying gunpowder materials in the city, and this person happened to be one of their own. What was his name, Green..."

"Grind!"

"Oh, right, right, huh? You know it?"

"I don't know, I'm just guessing.”

“Then you guessed it right, it’s him!

He was on duty in the prison for the death row prisoners for a while, and the explosion point discovered on the scene can match the place where he was on duty. Isn’t it a coincidence?”

“It’s a coincidence, too coincidental.”

“What’s more coincidental is that this Grindel was rescued, but he disappeared as soon as he turned around. Now the Iron Knights are crazy and the whole city is looking for him. So, when there is a shortage of manpower, we are assigned to dig a pit.”

“So that’s it…”

Cheng Shi understood. He always thought that his teammates had done something to blow up the arena, but now it seems that the players just happened to be there. I just don’t know why Grindel buried the explosives under the arena.

Where did he come from?

Is it to create chaos, or for the laboratory under the arena?

Cheng Shi vaguely felt that it was most likely the latter. In this case, did he find himself for this explosion?

He wanted to use himself as a gun and become the trigger. The fuse of the explosive? But why did it explode hastily before he finished the deathmatch?

Did someone trigger his explosives?

Who, the player?

Did a player trigger his explosives by mistake?

No, maybe not by mistake. Think about it from the perspective of these scammers. If they accidentally found such a pile of explosives in front of them while escaping, they would be sorry for the blessing of the God of Fun if they didn't take the opportunity to light a fire.

So it is very likely that the player detonated Grindel's explosives, but the question is: who did it?

The answer seems to be Zhao Si.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi became more and more impatient. He wanted to meet this trickster again and compete with him to see whether his trickery was more advanced or his fist was bigger.

But thinking about it this way, Grinde's story is probably very exciting.

Interesting, it turns out that the protagonists of this trial are not only the players. It turns out that this is the truth of [chaos]!

Countless hands are playing in the quagmire, each looking for what they want. No matter who wins or loses, all the people participating in the game have no one to blame. People's hands will be clean.

Under the orderly lake surface, there is a turbulent undercurrent of disorder, just as the drama of Chaos is performed on the stage of Order.

This is Chaos, and he seems to be closer to Him.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi lowered his head again and walked forward silently.

"Brother, I don't think I have seen you before. You have relatives and friends... Uh, sorry, I mean you cried so sadly that even your nose was rubbed red, I wonder if the person you care about has encountered something... Alas, you should understand what I mean."

"Yes, there is nothing to hide. I have 5 brothers, three of them died, and two are missing."

"Ah this..." The city guards who were traveling with him cast sympathetic eyes, "My condolences."

These warm-hearted companions began to comfort Cheng Shi and said that they would try their best to help him dig out the people, at least the bodies intact.

"Can you tell us what the characteristics of your brothers are, so that we can identify them easily."

"One is a soft bone, and one is very insidious."

"? "The Cavaliers teammates were stunned for a moment, "Is this used to describe brothers? Are you really... brothers?"

"Yes, absolutely true. ”

“......”

The knight believed it as he watched Cheng Shi rubbing his nose in sorrow.

Soon the city guards arrived at the disaster site and handed over to some of the Iron Knights who had been digging there, and began their journey of “looking for the brother of the brother”.

Just at this moment, when Cheng Shi just stepped on the edge of the tiankeng and looked down, his eyes were instantly attracted by the eye-catching red figure in the ruins.

Zhao Si, the teammate who was still wearing a prison helmet and a red prison uniform, was dragged backwards by a city guard knight like a rag towards the pile of corpses outside the pit.

The bodies of the citizens may need to be identified and taken back by their relatives, but the prisoners do not need to be. They only deserve a fire of judgment, so that their broken bodies and dirty souls can confess their past sins together in the firelight of [Order].

Cheng Shi smiled again when he saw this scene.

How could a master of tricks die in an explosion caused by his own hands?

So...

“It is better to come at the right time than to come early. ”
