Not Bros, Are You for Real?

"Do you know that Gou Feng is dead?"

Zhang Jizu looked at Scorpio and carefully observed his expression.

Scorpio was stunned, shook his head blankly, and then his face turned pale again.

"That [Annihilation] God... the Cleaner attacked me first. I immediately escaped into the predicted future and didn't know what happened to Gou Feng. I just learned from the Bald... Wood Elf that he was also attacked."

He's dead?

Cheng Shi hearing the word "bald," Cheng Shi's expression became incredibly strange.

What, are you mistaking me for being bald?

It's not that it's impossible, but the problem is if I impersonate Big Cat, she probably won't beat me up if she finds out later, right?

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and casually said:

"Hmm, a blow to the chest, fatal in one strike, killed by a short gun. It doesn't seem like an 'Annihilation' technique, but rather..."

Assassin's methods.

As he spoke, Cheng Shi narrowed his eyes and looked at Scorpio.

Zhang Jizu thought to himself that there wasn't a single truth in the mouth of these swindlers, but he also had to admit that this kind of half-truth, half-false deception was indeed very effective.

Scorpio's pupils shrank sharply after hearing Cheng Shi's words. He hadn't expected that Gou Feng wasn't killed by the power of [Annihilation], but by a stab. But then he realized that the two big shots were forcing him to prove himself.

Since he didn't kill the person, he wasn't afraid to prove it himself. So, with a solemn expression, he took out his weapon, a small, round blade that resembled a scimitar.

"The Arc of Time Restoration, my weapon, a scimitar that can slow down an opponent's time. I also often use it to cut away flesh to alleviate my own pain. Before it heals me, the Gravekeeper should be able to feel the residual power of this scimitar on my wounds."

Cheng Shi didn't even glance at Zhang Jizu to confirm this with him, because he knew that Scorpion wasn't lying. But if the little Assassin was really a victim, then it meant that the Cleaner was an assassination expert no less skilled than the Assassin.

"Now that you've been cleared of suspicion, Gou Feng's death is quite interesting."

Why did this Cleaner deliberately leave behind the power of [Annihilation] after killing Gou Feng?

He was afraid that others wouldn't know that he did it.

If he wasn't afraid of being exposed, why did he disappear?

The questions Cheng Shi raised were the biggest doubts in everyone's minds at the moment. Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes and thought for a long time before shaking his head and saying:

"If it really is him, probably no one can guess what he's planning to do."

We can't focus too much energy on solving the case and finding people. Staying here isn't safe either. If you think there are still clues here, you might as well take these files and books and we can find another place to study them slowly. If there are no clues here, then we'll leave first.

A bloodthirsty teammate and a dilapidated refereeing facility—two negative factors combined are at our disadvantage.

Zhang Jizu is indeed a pragmatic person. He doesn't like wasting time, and he is also a cautious person who doesn't like to dance under dangerous walls.

But he didn't know that this urging made Cheng Shi freeze in place.

What to do? If you suggest moving the stuff away, but if Mouth Brother doesn't help later, and you have to compile all these files yourself, it's not just a waste of breath, but the worst thing is that you might lead the team astray.

But if we don't take it, this is probably the only clue in this Trials. If it just rots on the ground, how can we continue?

Hmm? No, wait a minute!

Cheng Shi frowned and suddenly realized he had overlooked something: Who said these tattered files were the only clues to the Trials?

There seem to be some staff members who frequently come to sit in this seemingly abandoned courthouse!

Also, the hanging dead baby on the second floor could be another clue, so instead of moving these unwanted files that are left here, it would be better to look for information about these staff members first.

The information obtained by directly interrogating relevant personnel is far more accurate and faster than reading these incomprehensible books.

Having figured this out, Cheng Shi said with a serious expression:

"Let's go out first and go back to the church in Dolgo D to find out who the staff member on duty is, or which ones they are, and then we'll start with them."

As for Gou Feng's body... just leave it there.

If the things on the second floor were done secretly by the staff, he will naturally help us clean them up. But if it's a secret of the church, then the church will probably also secretly help us find the person who broke into the second floor and the murderer.

"Maybe they'll get lucky and find their two missing teammates before we do?"

Zhang Jizu nodded in agreement with Cheng Shi's idea, and the two of them set off.

The Scorpio, who had just recovered, was taken aback and quickly followed behind with a cautious expression.

Cheng Shi sensed that the little Assassin's reaction was harmless, and quietly loosened his grip on the ring.

Tsk, what a pity, I couldn't kill a [Time] Believer to cheer for my Lord of Grace.

But it's good that there's a [time] tool to help out; it's more efficient than just him and the Gravekeeper teaming up.

The three proceeded cautiously until they reached the closed gates of the courthouse. Just as they were about to leave, they saw a familiar figure creeping along the shadows of the alley through the gaps in the iron bars of the gate.

Cheng Shi paused, a smile playing on his lips.

What a coincidence, I ran into him here again!

That makes sense, given the intelligence of the "Folly" Believer, it's not surprising that they were able to pinpoint this place in such a short time.

Indeed, the person who crept out from the shadows of the alley was none other than the "Folly" Believer had previously scorned everyone in the lounge before leaving on his own.

The moment the three men spotted him, the nostril-headed man, who was always vigilant and observing his surroundings, also noticed his "teammates" in front of him.

What he didn't expect was that these foolish teammates seemed to have already gotten ahead of him, and it looked like they had finished exploring this mysterious and little-known Evil Infant Tribunal.

How... how could this happen?

Just as the [Folly] Believer stopped in shock, the three people inside the door were equally stunned by his appearance.

Scorpio stood behind the two big shots, somewhat bewildered, and muttered to himself:

"Hey guys, I remember our [Folly] teammate... was he a guy?"

Zhang Jizu squinted and scrutinized for a long time, his gaze sweeping over the slightly slender body of the [Folly] Believer from top to bottom, before giving a strange "hmm".

When Cheng Shi saw this scene, his jaw almost dropped, but then his mouth stretched into the widest grin.

Are you serious, buddy?

Even if you're going to pretend, do you have to go to such lengths?

If it wasn't for disguise, then why did you sneak off to the prayer room?

Don't tell me I went to the wrong door. The prayer masters inside will listen to the prayers and confirm repeatedly before granting citizens the right to choose their gender.

So...

You just betrayed your little brother like that?

Tsk, hard to judge.

But it must be said that the Believer of "Folly" is indeed clever; he, or rather she, is.

She managed to figure out the two church institutions in Dolgo D in such a short time, experience one of them in depth, and even find the entrance to the other.

Cheng Shi didn't know what this "Folly" Believer had gone through or what he was doing it for. He only knew that the fun in front of him was too great, so great that he had to go along with it, otherwise he would be letting down the God of Merriment who had protected him.

So he firmly shook his head and said to his two teammates in a serious tone:

"You're mistaken. This Trials was originally for five men and one woman. Our teammate has been a woman from beginning to end, a perfect woman."

However, her loose robe concealed her figure, and she also had a somewhat androgynous appearance, which is why you didn't notice.

"?"

Zhang Jizu was already used to Cheng Shi's nonsense, but Scorpio's forehead was full of question marks. However, he quickly understood what Cheng Shi meant and nodded vigorously with a gleam in his eyes.

"Yes, brother is right!"

Cheng Shi was overjoyed.

This little Assassin is quite shrewd.
