The Solitary Singer Whose Melody Was Too Lofty for Any Companion

When an awkward person is unaware of their awkwardness, then it is definitely someone else who is awkward.

The four people stared at each other through the tightly closed iron gate. After a short while, the "Folly" Believer walked to the gate as if nothing had happened, slightly raised his chin, and glanced at the three people inside with his nostrils, coldly snorting with a slightly mocking tone:

"I didn't expect you to be able to find this place; it's beyond my expectations."

Indeed, foolishness is only temporary; even the most foolish person has moments of wisdom.

It must be said that this "Folly" Believer became much more pleasant to speak after transforming into a woman; of course, the pleasantness here refers not to the content, but to the tone of her voice.

Her clear and melodious voice immediately suggests that she is a charming woman, but who would have thought that just an hour ago she was a haughty and arrogant man?

Cheng Shi was overjoyed and retorted sarcastically in the same Yin-Yang tone:

"I think [Folly] is just so-so. He looks down on this and that every day, but I haven't seen his Believer to be any smarter."

We've explored everything, and you're only now finding the door?

Is it because you can't see clearly when you look through your nostrils?

Why don't you use your eyes to look? Is it because you don't like it?

Oh right, I forgot, you guys are all using your eyes to breathe, otherwise you'd suffocate.

Tsk, that's strange. You insist on using your nose and eyes interchangeably. I don't think you Faith "Folly" but rather "chaos."

Why are you glaring at me? Did I say something wrong?

There's nothing I can do if I say something wrong, just bear with it. After all, you're all alone.

"..."

"..."

"..."

After this outburst, all three people present fell silent.

Scorpio stared blankly at Cheng Shi as if he were a celestial being descending to earth. Zhang Jizu thought to himself that this swindler was not only skilled at deception but also had a truly sharp tongue. The [Folly] Believer was choked and his face turned as red as a pig's liver. His fists were clenched tightly at his waist, but he wisely kept quiet.

Because Cheng Shi was right, it was three to one, she couldn't win.

Cheng Shi, not one to back down now that he was in the right, leaned against the door, knocked again, and continued with a smile:

"That's right. Someone once said that everyone must learn to be patient. I think you're a good candidate."

Want to know what happened inside?

Tell me what you've found out. If the information is useful, I can arrange an exchange with you.

The Believer, his face ashen, stared at Cheng Shi in silence for a long time before finally speaking in a deep Folly:

"You haven't found any clues, otherwise you wouldn't have those expressions. No need to test me anymore. I can share information with you, but on the condition that you tell me where the other two went?"

Cheng Shi's expression froze for a moment, and he was extremely impressed by the keen observation of the "Folly" Believer.

No matter how annoying these "Folly" followers are, they are truly intelligent, exceptionally intelligent, thanks to the blessing of their Lord of Grace.

Cheng Shi did not insist; he readily admitted it.

"Yes, we gained nothing, but didn't you gain nothing too?"

If you had even a little bit of useful information, you should have turned around and left with confidence by now. Why are you enduring this discomfort and seeking to cooperate with us again?

Am I right, ma'am?

Oh, by the way, I still don't know your name.

Upon hearing Cheng Shi's words, the [Folly] Believer, unusually, did not retaliate. Instead, he raised an eyebrow in surprise and gave Cheng Shi a slightly higher opinion of him.

But the next second, her gaze swept past the three of them and looked deeper into the courtyard. She then scrutinized the blood-soaked Scorpion and sneered again:

"It seems someone has betrayed you. Ha, it's probably not really betrayal, after all, you're just fools who temporarily banded together for warmth. Some people may just be acting according to their own will, but you've just stood in their way."

Is it related to that Cleaner?

I've said before that enthusiasm that can't be defined is often mixed with ulterior motives, and I didn't expect it to come true so quickly.

What about the chief?

The fake brotherhood wouldn't break down so quickly, so is he dead?

You look terrible. It seems I was right; there really was something wrong with that cake.

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes, but he said nothing, because this Believer of "Folly" was still contributing.

"I can cooperate with you, but only if you don't act too foolishly."

My name is Gao Ya, Singer, number 2377.

Oh wow, no wonder the tune is so high-pitched, it turns out he's a soloist whose music is too sophisticated for the masses!

The Singer and soloist of "Folly".

Cheng Shi didn't agree immediately, but he didn't refuse immediately either. He just looked at Gao Ya with a playful smile and said:

"I'm curious, what gives you the confidence to propose cooperation with us?"

The vanished Pastry Chef is the Chosen of God of [Annihilation], currently searching for Sacrifice to his Lord of Grace. I guess you guessed his motives but not his identity, but it doesn't matter. I'm a generous person, so I'm giving you this information for free. So, are you scared?

Even putting that aside, you are facing an Another Day Assassin, a Gravekeeper, and a Wood Elf. What makes you think you can take on all three of them?

With that mouth of yours, as hard as a rock?

At this point, Cheng Shi chuckled inwardly. She was certainly being stubborn, but that was all she could do now...

Gao Ya's face darkened completely. She had indeed guessed many things correctly during her observation and conversation, and it was precisely because she had guessed these things that she stayed to prepare to cooperate with these teammates again. However, being looked down upon like this in front of her was really infuriating.

"I may not be able to defeat the three of you, but it's impossible for the three of you to keep me here. Wasting energy will only slow down the pace of the Trials, which is an extremely foolish thing to do."

Furthermore, the Another Day Assassin and Gravekeeper may be real in the future, but you, ha, are definitely not some Wood Elf.

I can tell that you..."

Gao Ya wanted to give another analysis, but Cheng Shi had already lost patience. They were just trying to leave this place, so what was the point of the four of them chatting around an iron gate?

So he winked at Zhang Jizu and casually beckoned to Scorpio with his fingers behind his back.

Upon seeing his actions, the two immediately understood Cheng Shi's meaning, and with smiles on their lips, they began to act.

Gao Ya noticed Cheng Shi movements, so she frowned and retreated halfway through her sentence, but it was too late, because the two people opposite her moved much faster than she could!

Scorpion vanished instantly into the shadows beneath the wall, leaving no trace. Zhang Jizu then raised his hand and unleashed Healing Art imbued with immense healing power upon the [Folly] Believer.

Who says treatment can't be control?

When the healing power provided is too great, healing can also be a means of attack.

A beam of white light mixed with a ghastly green splattered onto Gao Ya, instantly filling her with Vitality until her legs went weak. Then, Scorpion appeared right beside her and gently cut two gashes on her ankles with the Arc of Time Restoration in his hand.

The power of [Time] erupted instantly, binding the Gao Ya in place like chains.

Cheng Shi was overjoyed at the sight and took out the rope ladder from his spatial storage again, preparing to climb out.

Seeing this, Zhang Jizu sighed, grabbed Cheng Shi's shoulder, and Cheng Shi over the high wall and iron gate like a chain ball.

What incredible strength!

Cheng Shi was taken aback and kept adjusting his posture in the air to roll and land safely. But as soon as he straightened up, he saw the squinty-eyed man, just like Gou Feng before him, leap over the iron gate and land in front of him.

"..."

No, you call this physical skill?

Cheng Shi looked up at Zhang Jizu and suddenly realized that he had misunderstood.

When he said he could survive, he probably meant he could survive in Trials that was extremely complex and involved Peak Player. As for a normal Trials without Peak Player, aside from trying to stay alive, it seemed... he wasn't incapable of fighting.

"Why do you look at me like that? Your 'prosperity' methods are too slow. We need to improve efficiency."

Ah yes, yes, yes, brother is absolutely right!
