The Fool of the Gods

If the best way to escape from the prison before the collapse is to disguise as a punishment knight, then the safest way after the explosion is to pretend to be a corpse.

Too many people died in this disaster, and the corpses piled up like a mountain. Becoming a corpse and joining them is the most normal and simplest way.

That's what the trickster thought, so he imitated a corpse and deceived the knights who were digging the soil.

But his luck seemed to be a little worse. Just when he was finally dug out and thrown into the pile of corpses, Cheng Shi came.

And it was not too early or too late, just in time to see him being dragged out of the pit.

So, Cheng Shi, who was overjoyed, decided to write a play for the trickster who once claimed to be a screenwriter, an impromptu performance play.

"Don't let me down, Nicholas Zhao Si."

He did not directly expose this teammate, but looked around for something, and soon he found... rats.

Many rats.

There were many rats after the disaster. Even if the collapsed prison killed countless rats, there were still lucky ones who survived.

As the saying goes, those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future, so a few mice with good fortune in the future were "fortunate" to fall into Cheng Shi's hands.

He secretly took out a deck of ordinary playing cards from his personal space, glued the cards to the mice's belly with glue, squeezed some stimulating potions into the mice's mouths and noses to make them manic, and then threw these "transformed" mice in the direction of the pile of corpses.

The mice in the prison are extremely omnivorous. They like to eat meat and dead human flesh. After suffering "inhuman" torture, they urgently need a full meal to relieve their discomfort, so a group of mice with red eyes instantly smelled the smell and scattered.

This scene may not be considered abnormal in the eyes of the nearby city guards, but in Zhao Si's eyes...

It's deadly.

Like Cheng Shi, he had long seen through that this was a [fraud] civil war, so when he saw a group of red-eyed mice approaching, he immediately thought of the missing hunter, Su Wu!

He should be a tamer, and he is not dead yet!

Are these rats his means? What does he want to do?

No, wait... Why are there poker cards on the rats' bellies?

Magician? The magician is still alive? And he teamed up with the tamer?

Did they know that he was the one who detonated the explosives, so they teamed up to retaliate?

Oh no, it's going to be bad!

Zhao Si couldn't lie down anymore. The danger was approaching. He felt that he couldn't sit and wait for death as a disguised corpse, because no one knew what incredible operations these cheating teammates would do!

So he took action. There were too many knights around him who didn't allow him to take risks, so for safety reasons he quietly changed his posture and activated abstract imitation to disguise himself as...

A rat.

A huge rat.

This trick was useless for the city guards, because Zhao Si's target was these rats. This was a trick he used to confuse the rats in front of him!

He chose the simplest method, which was to trick the mice into thinking that they were also part of the group of mice eating, so that they could avoid him and not bite him.

It must be said that this was the least risky and most clever method. The trickster had excellent ideas, perfect reaction speed and performance, and he brought this impromptu performance to life!

Anyone who saw it would have to exclaim "good!".

Even the screenwriter couldn't write such a perfect script!

The only pity was that there was an audience member who liked to find faults at the scene, and this audience member happened to be a "screenwriter".

After witnessing all this, Cheng Shishi tried to hold back his laughter and made a suggestion to his fellow knights around him.

"Too many rats will cause disasters. I think we can't just keep digging up the ruins. We need to deal with these roaming rats properly, otherwise they will bring diseases to the city.

You see, the rats on the pile of corpses are already eating like crazy. If they continue like this, I'm afraid they will endanger the citizens living around them.

Why not... burn some of them first?

Everyone, please step back a little. I'll set the fire!"

To be honest, Cheng Shi was not lying. He didn't even touch his nose.

He just hid his little thoughts in this sincere suggestion. While solving the trouble for Montrani, he also solved his own demands.

The knights thought he was right, so they stepped back a few steps and cleared a space around the pile of corpses.

But it was these few steps that completely deprived Zhao Si of the buffer space with the city guards. You must know that no matter what [Fraud] talent it is, it must always be reasonable when it is activated.

Can youBy tampering with the details that people didn't see clearly, you can also conceal the truth that everyone can't remember, and you can even fish in troubled waters and disguise yourself as another person, but the premise is that you don't have too outrageous cognitive contradictions.

[Fraud], even if it is stained with stolen [chaos] means, its essence is still "deception" and "fraud", not confusion.

At this moment, in the eyes of all the knights, there are only rats and dead prisoners on the pile of corpses. If you turn out another knight at this time, it is not a fraud performance, but a clown.

So, after hearing Cheng Shi's words, Zhao Si's face became extremely ugly!

How could it be such a coincidence!

Who is pushing all this!

Is this knight a magician?

Or are magicians and animal trainers mixed in with these knights, secretly watching here! ?

Rats have been rampant for a day and no one cares, why did they become an eyesore when they were thrown into the pile of corpses?

There can't be so many coincidences in this world, there must be a mastermind behind everything!

Good, very good, your methods are really clever!

Zhao Si gritted his teeth but could do nothing, and Cheng Shi naturally would not give Zhao Si time to think of any solution. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and threw a torch stuck in the ground.

The torch happened to fall at Zhao Si's feet, and the flames ignited the prison uniform of the corpse under him, and the flames slowly spread along the cloth toward his body.

When he saw where the torch landed, Zhao Si confirmed that this dog knight must be his teammate, but it was hard to say who it was!

"Damn it, let's fight."

The trickster was anxious. He could no longer use tricks calmly, so he had to get angry and try to break through the side with the least knights.

While rushing, he tried to blend into the crowd to deceive the knights' cognition, but this scene was too weird, so weird that it was hard for anyone to believe that this escaping figure would be a knight companion, so Cheng Shi didn't need to do anything at all, and the surrounding city guards surrounded him with a serious face.

Of course, Cheng Shi would not miss this opportunity.

He mixed in the knight team, poking randomly with a lance in his hand. Although it was a very random attack, he always hit Zhao Si's necessary route to escape, and Zhao Si, who had a flash of hope in his eyes, kept suppressing his disappointment.

After three or four times, Zhao Si finally noticed the city guard knight behind him.

It was him!

It was a cheating teammate!

Who is he! ?

It was a somewhat unfamiliar face, good-looking, but very annoying. Zhao Si did not remember seeing this face, but he always had a familiar feeling.

That magician Li Yi?

Or that animal trainer Su Wu?

No matter who it was, it was better to kill him in the chaos, otherwise he would not be able to escape at all.

So Zhao Si, who was squeezed and had almost no room to move, suddenly turned around and killed Cheng Shi in an incredible way. He threw a thunder spell at Cheng Shi with a gloomy face, but he did not expect that the other party would be more excited after seeing him turn back.

?

It was not Cheng Shi who asked the question, but Zhao Si.

He was stunned for a moment, but at that moment he felt his eyes suddenly blurred.

Cheng Shi dodged the thunder element attack with a reaction speed that ordinary people could not understand, rushed into Zhao Si's arms, and then pinched his neck with his left hand with an unstoppable force, raised his gun with his right hand, and asked with a playful look:

"Are you brave enough?"

After saying that, he stabbed Zhao Si with a gun without waiting for his response. The sharp lance directly penetrated Zhao Si's chest. The huge force wrapped the horrified trickster and smashed him down suddenly. In the blink of an eye, he nailed him to the mud under his feet.

"Bang——"

Dust rose up and the whole room was filled with shock.

Today's warrior landed, turned around, clapped his hands, and did it in one go.

Although the knights around were surprised at Cheng Shi's fighting ability, they did not pay much attention to the outcome of the battle. When everything was settled, they suddenly shouted to the surroundings:

"Attention, city guards, there may still be people pretending to be dead and trying to escape in the pile of corpses. Line up, surround, count, and burn them!"

As soon as the voice fell, there were indeed more than a dozen prisoners wearing prison helmets and wailing in all directions.

Cheng Shi looked at them, who were at a loss like Zhao Si, and smiled with emotion.

"Sure enough, the protagonist of [Chaos] has never been just the player..."

After saying that, he dragged Zhao Si's body and walked towards an empty corner.

It's time to confirm the result of the guess in my heart.
