Warrior of Today Dies Today

Ji Ran stared at the options before her, her mind blank for a moment.

For him, it didn't matter who was saved.

He simply found amusement in this Trials, so he agreed to cooperate with this fellow "Nothingness" who came seeking collaboration, to put on a show together.

But now it seems the play has gone wrong.

Because he didn't know what kind of Destiny his colleagues wanted.

There were only three people present, and two of them had already cast the same vote. Wasn't it certain that I would lose?

Ji Ran chuckled inwardly:

Forget about the outcome, let's just kill them first.

Only by severing the Destiny of others can I Destiny's Choice!

Yes, Ji Ran is not the murderer, but he really wants to be the murderer!

So he decided to just pick one at random and quickly end this time-wasting time stop.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to choose the Scholarly Council, an additional option suddenly appeared on Destiny final decision.

Zainjil!

Um?

Ha, interesting, she's awake.

Ji Ran laughed inwardly, and then also chose Zainjil!

Yes, Zhen Xin is awake.

Or rather, her consciousness remained, but her body had not yet recovered, and she was unable to get up.

The rule for the final decision of Destiny is that as long as you are alive, you have the right to vote.

So she told her partner her answer.

2:2.

It's a tie.

Li Boli's expression instantly turned ugly; her only advantage in time had been unexpectedly wiped out.

The final decision of Destiny never allows for a tie. If the situation becomes deadlocked, then He will randomly select one of the tied answers as the final Destiny.

"Randomness" is one of His favorite Divine Authority.

Cheng Shi didn't like randomness because it meant there was a 50% chance that Zhen Xin would win the game.

And he and the wandering knight would most likely become victims of the warrior's blade, their journey ending there.

Moreover, whether the randomness of "Destiny" is random for him is still debatable.

Even so, his expression wasn't unpleasant; in fact, a hint of amusement could be seen in his frozen expression.

Ji Ran was right above Cheng Shi, looking down at him with the force of splitting a mountain, his heart filled with extreme doubt.

The Decay Priest seemed confident; what was he thinking, and what was he waiting for?

Is he waiting for Destiny to favor him?

LOL, I'm a Believer in "Destiny" here, Lord of Grace would still favor others?

Thinking of this, he seemed to already see Cheng Shi's death, split in two.

How delightful! Another thread of Destiny has been severed!

Cheng Shi was unaware of all the thoughts in Ji Ran's mind; he was simply waiting.

As for what we're waiting for...

Sincere!

Sincerity is the key.

He is waiting for the sincerity he has sown to blossom and bear fruit, bringing him the answer!

Time ticked by, and the countdown to the final decision of Destiny began. Soon, He would draw a result from the two options in the tie.

This outcome may not be what Cheng Shi wanted.

But just as the final decision was about to be made, the tie was suddenly broken!

Hu Xuan, add one!

Three to two!

Cheng Shi won!

Ji Ran's eyes widened suddenly. He looked at the answer to the question in disbelief, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

Li Boli equally shocked. She seemed to think of someone, and a smile spread across her lips.

The charred remains lay motionless, and no one could tell what the corpse was thinking.

Although Cheng Shi's expression was frozen, the smile in his eyes was practically overflowing with joy.

Hu Xuan became an option, losing the ability to vote, and certainly could not cast her own vote.

The answer to who cast that final vote for her is obvious.

There are six people in this game, five of them are on the field, and one is left outside!

That player is naturally...

Qin Chaoge!

The Singer of "war" awakens under the stimulus of the final choice of Destiny, and falls into deep thought as he looks at the tied options before him.

After being knocked unconscious by "Shaman", she was stuffed under the bed.

The medicine powder that Cheng Shi to treat "Shaman" naturally ended up in her mouth and nose.

Even if the powder is very powerful, as long as the player doesn't die when the final decision is activated, she has the right to vote.

Then, Qin Chaoge awoke.

And she was Cheng Shi's last hope.

In fact, the moment Cheng Shi exposed Zhen Xin's true identity, he was already certain that Qin Chaoge's identity had simply been replaced, and that she was still alive.

If this "Chosen of God" were capable of harming his teammates, he and the Ranger would have died long ago in the room of the Dark Church, and wouldn't have made it this far.

This means that Qin Chaoge will only be hidden away by her, rather than killed directly.

As long as they don't die, they'll always have the right to vote.

Zhen Xin had considered this issue, but how could a player who was completely unaware of the truth cast a vote in favor of the other side?

This randomness is no different from letting Destiny choose for itself.

She enjoys gambling and finds blind gambling part of the fun.

Thus, with both of them aware of the situation, Qin Chaoge awoke from under the bed and cast her precious vote.

But no one expected that this bet would make Cheng Shi's wildly imaginative gamble a complete success!

No, not everyone expected this.

At least Cheng Shi guessed it.

When he learned that the person who ignored him and left was not Qin Chaoge, but Zhen Xin, he knew that his sincerity had not yet been answered!

And coincidentally, Qin Chaoge was a Singer who followed the rules.

She will definitely help me.

The problem is that Qin Chaoge, who is far Nothingness in the Yuanmu Town, knows nothing about what happened afterward. How can she help, and how can she know which option she chose?

She always knew!

Because...

Singer's talent is Portrait in Melody!

Although this Singer who could draw profiles had said that she had never drawn a portrait of herself, when she Shaman a knife into Samantha's room, Samantha grabbed her collar in a fit of rage!

While this aligns with the behavioral logic of Believer in "war," it is more likely because she realized she hadn't seen herself clearly and, in anger, decided to redraw her own portrait.

Cheng Shi had already considered this point, so he went along with his habit of leaving himself a backup plan.

You like drawing, right? I'll let you draw as much as you want.

He grasped the Singer's hand in return, their Human Skin pressed together, their heartbeats resonating.

The perfect time for profiling has begun.

It's important to understand that this kind of profiling is not just about recording, but also about expanding upon and supplementing.

In addition, Qin Chaoge has been observing and scrutinizing Cheng Shi over the past two days, and she already "understands" Cheng Shi quite well.

Although this Priest has an underground Faith and is not as lawful as I am, he is not a bad seed that tramples on Order either!

Therefore, she "consciously" saw through Cheng Shi and deduced Cheng Shi's choice!

Even though she didn't know what the other option besides Hu Xuan meant, her talent told her that Cheng Shi would help Hu Xuan.

Admittedly, Hu Xuan is a madwoman, and she doesn't like her.

But she also knew that Cheng Shi was not a liar; he was sincere, even if his sincerity was limited and cautious.

Then.

3:2.

Destiny, as expected, led to the end point that Cheng Shi had created for the Life Sage!

Looking at the expected number of votes, Cheng Shi smiled.

When you are in a weak position, sincerity is the best weapon.

Sincerity, however, can also be a form of deception.

Cheng Shi disguised himself, discarding his identity as a conman, but managed to swindle two extra votes by using a frank and open approach!

Victory is within reach.

"Buzz—"

The final choice has vanished.

The moment the text disappeared from the players' view, a terrifying pressure emanating from the "Dagger of Stars" erupted instantly.

The aftershocks swept outwards like Storm, blowing everyone away before they could even react.

Disrupted by the Storm, Cheng Shi only saw Ji Ran's knife slice down along the tip of his nose, then along his chest, navel, and hip bone, narrowly missing his brother from running away from home.

"... grass!"

Cheng Shi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Ji Ran was also caught off guard by the gust of wind. He lost his grip on the greatsword, allowing Cheng Shi to escape unscathed.

Just as he was about to swing his sword forward again, the Thunderbolt in Cheng Shi's hand was already roaring towards him.

Cheng Shi reacted too quickly; even though he had almost been decapitated, he didn't retreat an inch.

Instead, it used the force of the Storm to propel itself forward for a while, and then...

"Boom!"

Lightning flashed everywhere, and thunder roared from the flat ground!

It was too close now, so close that Ji Ran had nowhere to hide.

No, it wasn't that there was nowhere to hide. With his Divine Power, he shouldn't have been bothered by this Storm. But the moment he failed in his choice, Destiny's favor towards him vanished.

He returned to his normal self.

Ji Ran was unwilling to give up. He wanted to continue exchanging Destiny with others, but the wandering knight had long since transformed into the wind, becoming one with the Storm.

As for Zhen Xin...

She was still a corpse with her eyes just opened, and now she doesn't know where she's been blown away to.

Therefore, there was nowhere to hide or avoid.

This thunderbolt, delivered by Cheng Shi himself to Ji Ran's chest, unsurprisingly pierced through his body.

"Puff--"

He tensed up for a moment, coughed up blood, and looked at his chest in disbelief, a look of sorrow flashing across his face.

But in the last second of his life, he managed a smile.

Cutting the thread of Destiny is a choice you make yourself.

Now, this choice has finally come to itself.

This is probably the closed loop of Destiny.

"Cheng... Shi..."

He wanted to share his final insights about Destiny with the person who had cut the thread of his own Destiny, but in the final moments of his life, he did not see Cheng Shi.

Because after the murder, Cheng Shi had already left under the cover of the Storm.

It's just a stray dog that died by the roadside, what's there to look at?

The Clown sneered as he fell into Nothingness, only to be caught by a gust of wind.

"You... are you really Priest?"

"Huh? Can't you see how big my breasts are?"

"... All I saw was Thunderbolt."

"Those were props, and we've already used them all."

Cheng Shi wasn't lying; he had indeed used up the five charges the townspeople had given him.

But after five "Thunderclap Judgment," only one Sacrifice was returned.

Ah, this...

Considering how hard Lele'er is working, if the debt is delayed a little longer, that the Great One won't be angry, right?

Li Boli, who was sheltering from the Storm Cheng Shi in tow, chuckled when she heard his words.

"Yes, I believe you."

"..."

Sister, could you be any more disbelieving?
