Heretical God Believer and Gold Coin

Normally, after finishing lunch, the students would rest for an hour.

But today was different.

Because the Black Armor Army had sealed off the school, everyone was excitedly discussing it. No one napped at all.

"I took a walk around the school gate just now, but unfortunately, I didn't see any Black Armor Army Warriors."

"Maybe the Black Armor Army has already withdrawn."

"They haven't withdrawn! I heard there are two Warriors stationed in the Security Room, while another two are patrolling around the school."

Cheng Han listened for a while and found it all to be meaningless nonsense, so he simply used the Eye of Omniscience for a deduction.

A phantom scene appeared before his eyes:

A large number of Warriors in black armor had surrounded the Textile Factory so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through. All the workers had been evacuated.

A pile of objects sat in an open space, covered by a black cloth. One corner had been pulled back, revealing what lay beneath—a short section of Tentacle.

According to the scenes he had seen in previous deductions, the Blood Head Spider was an extraordinarily twisted monster, with many Tentacles extending from its mouth.

Without a doubt, this was the slain Blood Head Spider.

Beside it stood a man in black robes, who coldly shouted, "Burn it!"

Several Warriors replied in unison, "Yes!"

They raised their right arms together. Each wore a metal glove on his right hand, its surface dark red.

A pale red glow suddenly lit up, enveloping the metal gloves.

Several blazing serpents of fire burst from the gloves, striking the Corpse from every direction and instantly turning it into a roaring bonfire.

A moment later, the Illusion vanished.

Proficiency increased by 2 points, reaching 49/1000.

Cheng Han was filled with a sense of accomplishment. It seemed the information I passed along helped the authorities successfully prevent a terrible disaster.

He also muttered to himself, Using an item to spray flames? Interesting!

At that moment, Qian Qingqing glanced at him a few times and suddenly asked, "Cheng Han, you've been spacing out for quite a while. What are you thinking about?"

Cheng Han casually replied, "Nothing."

Qian Qingqing changed the subject. "I wonder how long the lockdown will last. I hope we'll still be able to go home today."

Cheng Han smiled. "We'll definitely be able to go home."

He already knew the outcome. Working backward from the result to draw a conclusion was naturally not difficult.

Qian Qingqing blinked her beautiful eyes. "Why?"

Without hesitation, Cheng Han said, "If I were the person in charge of the Black Armor Army, and the city had to remain sealed off for a long time, I would have notified the schools to suspend classes from the very beginning."

Qian Qingqing was convinced. "That makes sense."

Cheng Han added, "The Black Armor Army is extremely powerful. Half a day has already passed, so they've most likely killed the monster. The lockdown may be lifted very soon."

The little girl echoed, "I hope so."

Wen Jie, sitting in the back row, had wanted to object, but he remembered how he had been slapped in the face that morning and obediently kept his mouth shut.

Earlier, he had believed the school might be in danger. But half a day had passed, and the campus had remained peaceful throughout. Did this look like a dangerous situation?

Half an hour later.

Their homeroom teacher, Yan Dongshan, strode in and announced, "Students, the Black Armor Army has just withdrawn. The school lockdown has been lifted."

A small cheer erupted in the classroom.

Everyone looked delighted. After all, no one wanted to be trapped at school.

Qian Qingqing looked at Cheng Han and directly gave him a thumbs-up. "Your prediction was incredibly accurate!"

Cheng Han smiled faintly without speaking.

Prediction?

It had simply been the truth.

Wen Jie secretly felt relieved. Fortunately, he had not recklessly interrupted earlier, or he would have been slapped in the face again.

After school.

As usual, Cheng Han held a Silver Coin and activated the Eye of Omniscience once.

The Illusion lasted for one second, then disappeared.

A message flashed past:

Proficiency +3. Current Proficiency: 52/1000. Spirit Value: 8.3/13.4.

Cheng Han was astonished.

Ever since the Eye of Omniscience had reached Level 2, deductions about picking up money had never yielded any Proficiency. Why had he gained 3 points this time?

How strange! Cheng Han recalled the prophetic scene and guessed, Most of the coins I picked up before were Copper Coins, while the rest were Silver Coins. Could this one be a Gold Coin?

The possibility was high! He excitedly whistled. Could it be that I did a good deed, and this is Heaven's reward?

Cheng Han rode his Bicycle for nearly half an hour before arriving at the city's Eastern Suburb.

Compared to the city center, the density of buildings here was far lower.

The vegetation coverage, however, was much higher. In many areas, crisscrossing farmland could still be seen.

Looking at the dim sky and the pitch-black Dense Forest, Cheng Han felt a little regret. There are no streetlights in the suburbs. What if something happens? I should have waited until a day off to come here.

He muttered, "Forget it. Since I'm already here, I might as well look around."

Cheng Han rode several hundred more meters and saw a large stretch of weed-choked wasteland, with a Small Ditch winding through it.

He parked his Bicycle by the roadside, walked several dozen meters along the ditch, and successfully found a Big Rock.

According to the clue, the Gold Coin lay buried in the mud and sand beside the rock. This place was so remote that it had most likely been buried for a long time, making it unclaimed property.

And wasn't an ownerless thing simply his property?

Cheng Han excitedly crouched beside the ditch, pulled a Small Shovel from his backpack, and was about to start digging when an Illusion suddenly appeared before his eyes: a small clump of pitch-black mist, like an Ink Mass, suddenly descended from the sky and instantly burrowed into the soil of the ditch.

"Niet... Sabbas... Anyaka..."

An exceedingly eerie murmur rang in his ears from nowhere.

Merely hearing it made one feel vexed and stifled, as though one desperately wanted to roar and scream.

Then, the Illusion disappeared.

Clearly, the Eye of Omniscience had passively activated once.

His Proficiency increased by 4 points.

Cheng Han was badly startled. This should be the power of an Alien God, right?

He had never imagined that the Gold Coin he found would be connected to an Alien God. It was simply too bizarre.

The textbooks clearly stated that if ordinary people approached certain objects related to Alien Gods, they would hear whispers, and their souls might become contaminated.

He quickly stood up and retreated several steps in a row, then performed a deduction as quickly as possible. Is there any danger?

The result came immediately—the power contained within the Gold Coin was in an extraordinarily subtle state. As long as he did not touch it directly, there was no danger.

Cheng Han let out a breath of relief and naturally thought of a question. Why did this Gold Coin appear here?

He had initially assumed that someone had accidentally lost it.

But now, it seemed this had absolutely been deliberate.

Cheng Han pondered for a while. If I'm not wrong, the Gold Coin is one hundred percent connected to the Textile Factory incident.

I personally changed the course of events, so I now have an extremely strong connection to it. That is why my success rate in deducing related matters is astonishingly high.

I had never predicted the Gold Coin before, yet I suddenly foresaw it today. That was precisely why.

Cheng Han took a deep breath and silently recited, Deduce who left the coin behind.

The phantom scene appeared again:

In utter darkness, a thin figure quickly appeared beside the ditch, tossed down a Gold Coin, then quickly left.

The entire process took no more than three seconds.

After that, the Illusion disappeared.

Cheng Han's expression turned solemn. "Just as I thought!"

He immediately understood everything. "A certain Heretical God Believer secretly hid a coin as a Backup Plan. Then he took part in the Textile Factory incident and died at the hands of the Black Armor Army.

"Before dying, he used some strange and bizarre secret technique, allowing the Black Mist Ball to escape the scene, travel a great distance, and enter the Gold Coin.

"So the fact that I found this Gold Coin was actually inevitable!"
