Another Day Assassin

Cheng Shi was very alert. He had already noticed his teammate's scrutiny out of the corner of his eye. Even though his teammate's eyes were small, he still caught the look in his eyes.

But he didn't make a fuss. Instead, he slowly guided the pace of the introductions, passing the baton to him for the next round of self-introductions.

After Cheng Shi from head to toe once more, the man with squinty eyes spoke slowly and deliberately:

"Coincidentally, I am also a [life]."

Zhang Jizu, [Life], Priest, 2490.

Damn, it's really 2400 now, no, 2500!

And he is also [life]!

What kind of "life" could it be?

Cheng Shi looked at his teammate, who was always smiling, with surprise, and quickly recognized him after a quick glance.

The Gravekeeper.

The Gravekeeper without a doubt.

His neatly trimmed hair and unkempt sideburns already indicated that he was not a gardener. In addition, his cold demeanor, even when he smiled with his eyes narrowed, gave off a sense of unapproachability, so he was not quite like Progeny Priest either. That left only Gravekeeper.

Interesting, a Gravekeeper with 2490 points.

Could he be...?

Cheng Shi smiled at Zhang Jizu and then shifted his gaze to the next person.

Just then, the Folly Believer standing next to Cheng Shi sneered and suddenly spoke.

"How can you laugh when two players with 2400 points don't even have the confidence to reveal their profession?"

You don't think that just because this isn't a 2400-level scheme, you can hide your Faith, do you?

Once he spoke, almost everyone knew that he was Believer in "Folly".

Moreover, following his words, the others vaguely guessed Cheng Shi and Zhang Jizu's professions.

It's highly likely to be a Mage and a Gravekeeper, because neither of them seems like someone from [Prosperity]!

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow and curled the corners of his mouth, because he could also tell from this "Folly" Believer's score that this person had not reached 2400.

Zhang Jizu, with his squinting eyes, looked at this "Folly" Believer who looked down on him, but instead of being angry, he slowly and methodically explained:

"The zygomaticus major muscle in my cheek lifts the corners of my mouth, and the orbicularis oculi muscle around my eyes contracts continuously, squeezing out smile lines at the corners of my eyes. That's how I smile."

Are there any other questions?

I can explain anything to you within my capabilities.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Wow, this is a real Priest!

Cheng Shi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

With that burst of laughter, the face of the [Folly] Believer immediately darkened.

He first glanced at Cheng Shi with displeasure, then looked at Zhang Jizu with a gloomy gaze and sneered:

"I hope your healing abilities are as strong as your words."

Zhang Jizu shook his head and once again solemnly corrected his statement. "My professional ability is stronger than my mouth, because my mouth can't affect other people except for eating and speaking, but my Healing Art can."

"Puff--"

"Kukuku..."

Cheng Shi in a daze. Not only him, but his other teammates were also trying their best to suppress their laughter so as not to make the situation too awkward at the very beginning of the Trials.

However, this Priest's teammate really has a sharp tongue.

Dude, your mouth doesn't just have no effect on others, it has an enormous influence on them. This Folly taxi driver is almost suffocating from your influence.

Sure enough, after failing to scorn him, the "Folly" Believer shut his mouth in resentment and turned his gaze away quietly.

Cheng Shi watched this scene with immense joy.

There's some truth to the order of Path of Fate; in the Path of Fate "Chaos," "Folly" ultimately leads to "silence."

Wow, this is such a great start!

Seeing that the man with the nostrils had stopped talking, his teammate standing on the other side, after laughing enough, began to introduce himself again.

"Scorpio, [exists], Assassin, 2179."

I'm a newbie, so I hope you guys will take good care of me.

It's a lie, but the lie is probably the joke that comes after.

The young man dressed like he was from Assassin's Creed looked like a very lively player, which Cheng Shi reminded Cheng Shi of the contrasting Assassin Song Yawen from before.

Is contrast still a popular trend in the Assassin community?

Is it already outdated?

After all, trends are constantly changing.

"A noob like you can't reach 2100 points, young man, you're being a bit modest." Gou Feng smiled and glanced at the Assassin beside him, saying with a playful tone, "Assassin with the [Existence] rank are not to be trifled with, we'll have to ask you to go easy on us."

"Just kidding, bro. I'm a person who values sincerity. If others treat me with sincerity, I'll treat them with sincerity in return."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi suddenly stopped laughing. His back tensed instantly, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Zhen Xin? Where is Zhen Xin?

But he quickly realized he had been too wary; this was not the same Zhen Xin he knew.

Oh, so it was true...

It's good to treat people sincerely, after all, I treat people sincerely too.

Thinking of this, his stiff body suddenly relaxed, and he laughed out loud at his own overreaction.

Seeing him smile, the little Assassin also smiled and said:

"What, you don't believe me, brother?"

I'm an honest and cooperative person, and I've gotten this far entirely thanks to the mentors I met during the Trials. I've always been True Heart obedient to them.

"..."

Wait, wait, please stop talking about Zhen Laiyi, it's giving me a headache.

Cheng Shi this man rambling on about how honest he was, Cheng Shi's mischievous thoughts stirred within him. A smirk played on his lips as he said:

"It's not that I don't believe it, but I just remembered my friend saying that he was once matched with an Old Day Hunter named 'Earth Scorpion,' who was a bit cunning but liked to pretend to be someone's underling. Could that name be your alternate account?"

"?"

Scorpio was stunned for a moment, then frowned and shook his head. But as soon as he finished shaking his head, he froze on the spot, looking at Cheng Shi with a look of surprise and suspicion, his expression extremely complicated.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Cheng Shi and said, "Master, I admire you!"

Cheng Shi shook his head to indicate that he was not a master, but the corners of his mouth curled up even higher.

Because he tricked it out, this Scorpio is a Believer in "Time" and Another Day Assassin.

In fact, it wasn't just Cheng Shi; all the astute people present recognized Scorpio's identity because his reaction was so accurate.

When Cheng Shi read out the words "Earth Scorpion," Scorpion did not react. But as soon as Cheng Shi mentioned the words "Old Days," the little Assassin began to shake his head slightly.

Anyone present at this moment who isn't stupid knows that Scorpio's denial is a denial of Faith, so he can only be another Faith in [existence], [time].

Upon learning that he was Another Day Assassin, everyone became more wary.

We must be wary, because the Another Day Assassin is a profession that takes the deduction of "time" to the extreme. They can travel between different predicted futures, kill their targets in another time and space, and then overwrite the results of this deduction into the present time and space.

If these Assassin also possess a talent for disguise, then those they target may never even know how they died.

Because they did not die in the present, but in a future fabricated by Another Day Assassin.

The Another Day Assassin.

However, everyone's caution was not only due to the Another Day Assassin, but also because of Cheng Shi's probing. He was able to expose the little Assassin's true nature with just one sentence, so this Mage of "Life" was not to be underestimated in their eyes.

The Mage truly deserves to be called a representative of high intelligence.

This is Cheng Shi the effect Cheng Shi wanted. He needed to establish a formidable image for himself from the very beginning, so as not to let others keep thinking about him in this unexpected situation.

Seeing the young Assassin shake his head and smile bitterly, Cheng Shi seized the opportunity to press further:

"What did you pray for?"

"Well, it's hard to say, but I can guarantee that it won't affect anyone in the Trials."

Upon hearing this, everyone raised an eyebrow, their expressions thoughtful. Cheng Shi didn't dwell on it, as it was their right to speak or not. He then turned his gaze to the last teammate besides the [Folly] Believer.

This teammate, dressed in a long trench coat and carrying a vintage wooden box, looked like a contact for some mysterious organization. Seeing everyone's gaze fixed on him, he froze, then forced a dry laugh:

"I'm a little flustered by how the big shots see me. I'm just a nobody, even less noticeable than the Another Day Assassin."

Cheng Shi wanted to laugh when he heard this, thinking to himself, "Your outfit doesn't look like that of someone who's not well-known at all."

Seeing the strange expressions on his teammates' faces, the man in the trench coat knew that his appearance was unconvincing, so he shook his suitcase and laughed it off:

"A gift, it's a gift, nothing mysterious."

I'm a Pastry Chef, and I made some pastries for everyone.

Oh, by the way, let me introduce myself first. My name is Mo Shu, [Sinking]...

Sigh, I guess I can't hide it anymore. Fine, I'll confess, I'm Cleaner with 2116 MMR in Ladder.
