Mo Wu's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes as he looked at Cheng Shi.

"Deception, Deception, it's not just deception, it's swindling."

To borrow your words, this trick is too old-fashioned and won't work on me.

I need only follow the guidance of Order, and I will have no fear of any chaos.

"Clap clap clap!"

Cheng Shi withdrew his hand and clapped wildly.

"Well said. I would like to ask, what Order are you all following today?"

The Edict of Passage of [Order] is to seek Order. In this battlefield full of chaos and ruins, finding Order is not difficult, but it is not particularly easy either.

When the question was asked, Bailing and Qiushi shook their heads.

The meaning is clear: they did not follow the Order.

The logic is easy to understand: since Mo Wu is not a support class, he does not need to provide protection for his teammates, so only one person needs to follow the Order.

The question was so basic that Mo Wu didn't even want to answer it.

But Cheng Shi, seeing his silence, raised an eyebrow and said:

"You are not seeking Order?"

Interestingly, aren't people who don't follow "Order" just people who create "chaos"?

Could it be that you really are a "chaotic" person?

Enough, this boring charade.

Clown is your profession, not your image.

Don't act like a real Clown!

"There's only one day left in the Trials; I don't have time to waste here with you."

Mo Wu waved his hand to interrupt Cheng Shi's speech. He ignored everyone else and looked at Ji Yue instead.

"This unexpected Clown might be useful for the Trials to come, but if we waste any more time, even if he is useful, he will become useless."

I may not care that there is an extra 'player' in the Trials that should have belonged to six people, but I will not tolerate this 'player' trying to take away the spoils that originally belonged to me.

Scholar, we still have a long way to go.

Poet, I'm sure you know that before we see the results, cooperation is the best option for everyone.

First, find the Experiment Field; then, each of you must rely on your own abilities.

Ji Yue remained silent, Fang Shiqing frowned in deep thought.

Before Cheng Shi arrived, they clearly thought this made sense.

But now, these two beauties, one wants to watch the show and the other wants to follow orders, have long lost their previous cooperative attitude.

Mo Wu, having realized this, felt particularly agitated.

He was originally the one with the best chance of getting petals in this Trials, but now he has become an "outsider"!

Everything, everything, is because of this damn Clown!

Just as I was thinking of Cheng Shi, Cheng Shi spoke again.

He posed a question to the gloomy-faced Elemental Judge.

"Your Honor, I'm thinking about a question."

You don't seem to be afraid of my methods.

You should know that although I am a wet nurse, I am a wet nurse under His protection.

I can heal others, and I can also deceive others. I have many of His blessings in my hands, and these blessings may very well allow me to guess your secrets.

But you are not afraid at all, why?

Mo Wu scoffed, "I am Believer in [Order], as true as can be. What is there to fear?"

"Hey, that's interesting. I meant I saw through your secret, not that I knew your identity. Why are you specifically asking me to confirm your identity?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Wu's expression changed slightly.

Ji Yue raised an eyebrow, and her previously drooping hand suddenly rose up, pulling a long spear out of Void.

"Word games, utterly childish." Mo Wu's face darkened, his eyes showing disgust.

Cheng Shi burst into laughter.

"It is indeed naive, but it works."

Even Believer in "Order" have secrets they want to keep.

I was reflecting on all the "Order" teammates I had encountered along the way. After they learned that I was the Clown, they all guarded me closely, afraid that I would trick them into revealing information.

But you are different.

You are very confident, and not just ordinary confident.

You seem certain that I can't see through your secret, but how can an Elemental Judge who doesn't allow others to follow Order exert influence on others through the means of "Order"?

I didn't sense any radiance of "Order" emanating from me, so...

Your confidence is not given to you by "Order".

Is that right?

Not only that, I've been thinking about what kind of tricks could be used to deceive me silently, but after thinking about it, there's only one type of person I can think of.

That is..."

Cheng Shi spoke, he found himself gripping a Scalpel in his hand again.

"A madman of chaos!"

Only by constantly distorting other people's perceptions can these lunatics be so certain that the tricks of scammers are useless against them!

You're probably not Mage of "Order," but rather Mage of "chaos"!

The Source of Calamity!

My teammate, are you the Source of Calamity?

As soon as Cheng Shi finished speaking, a violent and chaotic aura rose from beneath everyone's feet.

Ji Yue's expression changed, and before she could make a move, her hand involuntarily gripped the gun and stabbed at Cheng Shi in front of her.

Fang Shiqing twisted her body and grabbed Bailing by the neck, while Cui Qiushi punched the prisoner in the stomach.

The scene instantly descended into chaos, and Mo Wu...

This Source of Calamity, who was laughing wildly, retreated swiftly, his long whip, which uttered maddening demonic sounds, relentlessly lashed at the souls of everyone present.

"Hahaha, you've got guts!"

Knowing I'm the Source of Calamity, you still dare to get so close to me? You're asking for trouble...

Before he could finish speaking...

"Boom--"

A deafening and blinding thunderclap roared out from beneath Cheng Shi, Cheng Shi had been shot in the back and fallen to the ground, and struck Mo Wu with lightning speed.

Mo Wu was shocked and instinctively raised his long whip to resist. Then he quickly crushed an item and leaped away from where he stood.

The thunderbolt grazed past him, and the surging plasma instantly engulfed the long whip that had ripped out his sanity, piercing half of his shoulder in the process.

"Ugh—"

Mo Wu was knocked to the ground, his body tumbling and rolling for more than ten meters across the ruins. His face was gloomy, his brows furrowed, and he immediately waved his hand, turning into a wisp of green smoke as he fled.

With his escape, everyone regained control of their bodies.

Ji Yue saw that a player with the "Chaos" buff had been around her for four days without her noticing, but was instead exposed and driven away by a newly arrived Clown. In her shame and anger, she clenched her right fist, causing her full head of silver hair to stand on end.

In an instant, countless Void openings appeared in the sky above everyone's heads, and countless spears broke through the boundary between reality and illusion, crashing down and indiscriminately covering the entire ruins except for them.

"Swish swish——"

"Boom boom boom—"

The gunshots rained down like thunder.

Cheng Shi only needed to cast a Healing Art spell, and the entire layer of ruins was blasted down by three-tenths.

He looked up in shock at the furious Void Energetics Erudite Scholar behind him, and couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Luckily, I explained in time, otherwise I might have really been poked to death.

This woman is really fierce.

But seriously, how come you, a girl, have so many guns hidden away?

If I opened a blacksmith shop, could I be your supplier?

Cheng Shi's talent led him to another business opportunity. He looked eagerly at Ji Yue, only to see Ji Yue casually wave her hand and retract her spear. Her expression was complex, and she called out with a mixture of anger and embarrassment:

"Hurry up, the commotion is too great, we've attracted the Bellicose Knights."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, opening up Void and extending an invitation to everyone.

"..."

Cheng Shi smiled politely on the surface, but was utterly speechless inside.

What's wrong? You're going to mess with the Void today?
