An invitation from "Su Yida"

While Lake was mired in self-doubt and wondering if Mrs. Flord had lied to him, the con artists at the scene were figuring out where Mrs. Flord would hide Maxford.

They weren't sure if the Clown was dead or not; his survival was just a guess, and the most troublesome one at that.

Clown are masters of impersonation. If this is truly Morning Cheer's scheme, then any performer in the Circus, or even a tourist, could be Clown in disguise.

Finding him is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

However, this is no challenge for players who have been immersed in the Trials for a long time. If they can't find Maxford, they can find Flord. Regardless of whether Maxford's disappearance was a long-planned scheme, Flord must know everything.

At present, Flord is in the Imperial City of Kurd.

Cheng Shi glanced at Zhang Jizu. The moment in Kanliwal was just like the moment in Dolgo D. In their silent understanding, he once again handed over this key NPC, Lake, who was crucial to Trials the trial, to the Gravekeeper.

He believed that Old Zhang could keep an eye on the Clown.

He then traveled to the Imperial City with his elder brother and Zhen Xin to find another key figure in this Trials, Mrs. Flord.

Fitt is undoubtedly a very important NPC in this storyline, so Cheng Shi plans to contact Long Jing, who is disguised outside, and ask him to return to the west of the city to take Fitt into custody.

Unexpectedly, this contact not only failed to summon Long Jing using the pre-arranged method, but instead received a call from Long Jing, asking Cheng Shi to come over in person.

And he emphasized that it could only be him alone.

Cheng Shi frowned slightly, wondering what kind of trouble the Acrobat were up to now.

He knew that Long Jing always wanted to outmaneuver other scammers in some kind of scam, so sending him alone at this time couldn't possibly be revenge for the previous "gang fight," could it?

Did the Acrobat spend ages setting a trap just so he could walk right into it?

That's incredibly unethical.

However, President Gong doesn't seem to be that wicked; he's just a bit "stupid." There are so many stupid people in the world, what wrong has he done?

Besides, even if it were revenge, the one who should have fallen into the trap wouldn't be himself, but Zhen Xin!

After all, he had only broken the Acrobat's flexible limbs, which had no effect on him whatsoever, while Zhen Xin's trap had beaten him so badly that he vomited blood...

Tsk, Magician are so wicked.

Thinking this, Cheng Shi glanced at Zhen Xin without making a sound, but he didn't expect that Zhen Xin seemed to have a premonition that someone was cricketing at her. She also looked at Cheng Shi with a half-smile, clearly implying something.

Cheng Shi quietly shifted his gaze, pretending to be nonchalant and preparing to ignore Long Jing and proceed with Predestination plan, but Zhen Xin immediately teased him:

"Maybe they have more important leads they want to share with you 'separately'?"

Wouldn't we miss out if we didn't go see it?

What if he finds Maxford?

"Don't worry, you won't need to trouble Clown at the palace. The Grand Marshal and I will bring Mrs. Flord back."

As she spoke, Zhen Xin gave Hu Wei a wink. Hu Wei understood, glanced at the people present, and smiled as he left with Zhen Xin.

On the way, Hu Wei a strange expression. After holding it in for a long time, he finally asked:

"Competitors?"

"?" Zhen Xin was taken aback, not understanding what the Grand Marshal meant.

Seeing that Zhen Xin's expression seemed genuine, Hu Wei was also taken aback, then said awkwardly, "Sorry, I thought your sister and Cheng Shi hadn't..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhen Xin's face darkened. She was clearly the victim, yet everyone seemed to see her as the "perpetrator"...

And even though so much time has passed, people still bring it up, which shows just how popular things are when they can make Zhen Yi lose face.

Zhen Xin has reaped what she sowed.

"Who is that teammate?" Hu Wei asked again.

Zhen Xin's eyes darted around slightly, and following the three's plan, she revealed Su Yida's name and also mentioned that he was a friend of Jie Shu.

Hu Wei had never heard of this Master of Trickery, but he knew about Jie Shu), and thinking of Jie Shu's pure Faith, he was filled with admiration again.

"Those with steadfast will are rare, and those with pure Faith are even rarer. This is true of [Folly] Believer. It is evident that at the heights of [Folly], having already seen the whole landscape, they no longer need the ladder of other Faith to ascend."

Zhen Xin could hear the longing for Faith Fusion in Hu Wei's words, but she didn't respond.

Seeing that Zhen Xin wasn't responding to this, Hu Wei simply became more direct.

"Zhen Xin, you don't want to integrate with other Faith either?"

Zhen Xin glanced meaningfully at the Grand Marshal, and said with a smirk:

"I have already merged."

"???"

Hu Wei's pupils contracted. He had never heard of this news before. He looked at Zhen Xin in astonishment, carefully sensing the Divine Power fluctuations on her body, but found nothing.

Just as he was about to probe what the other party had integrated, Zhen Xin asked a question that made his expression vanish.

"Grand Marshal, have you ever considered that one day you might be exposed by the real Grand Marshal?"

"!!!"

Hu Wei's expression changed, and he stopped in his tracks.

Sensing the overwhelming fighting spirit behind her, Zhen Xin turned around playfully:

Hehe~

"What, Big Pancake Bro, you want to fight me?"

Hu Wei's eyelids twitched violently:

"You are not Zhen Yi, you are Zhen Xin."

I see now, it seems your sister has taken the blame for a lot of things.

But I'm curious, when did you figure out who I was?

Zhen Xin's eyes flickered slightly, her expression shifting from Zhen Yi's, and she smiled gently, "Probably because..."

Before she could finish speaking, she conjured a ball of [Chaos] energy in front of her, which transformed into silken strings. Using a magic card between her fingers as a bow, she played a rather ironic tune for the Grand Marshal.

"!!!"

Hu Wei's pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints, and he asked in disbelief, "You've combined [Chaos]!?"

Zhen Xin nodded and sang in greeting:

"Indeed, under the performance of the Lawless Magic, wouldn't you and I be considered Kindred of Different Blood at this moment?"

"..."

After Zhen Xin and Hu Wei left, Cheng Shi took Zhang Jizu outside the park to keep their appointment.

Although Long Jing sent him alone, how could he not think of Squinty Old Zhang to take advantage of someone who seemed to be at a disadvantage?

Tanks aren't available in every game; if you encounter one and don't use it, what's the difference between that and not picking up gold?

So Cheng Shi buried Lake in the ground to hide him, and using Zhang Jizu as a shield, went to step on the "trap".

Helpless, Zhang Jizu asked who this teammate was. Cheng Shi didn't hide it from him and said it was an old friend named Su Yida.

However, the way the words "old friend" were uttered with a hint of resentment made Zhang Jizu realize that the other party was not an ally, but an enemy.

Cheng Shi didn't introduce Su Yida in detail, but instead asked about another teammate, Zhang Jizu, whether he had met him.

When Zhang Jizu thought of the Poison incident and the matter of "Cheng Shi Fool's Game," he pondered for a moment, squinted his eyes, and honestly replied:

"No."

Cheng Shi wasn't surprised, since in this segmented game, if the lone wolf doesn't show up, no one can know who the opponent is.

The two arrived at the agreed location in silence. After turning around a dirt slope, two figures suddenly came into view in the distance.

Cheng Shi's pupils contracted; he never expected that the injured person slumped next to "Su Yida" would actually be... Poison!?

And judging from this situation, this [Filth and Decay] Chosen of God got beaten up?
