An Mingyu's gaze sharpened, as if he was wondering whether what Qin Xin said was true.

However, Qin Xin didn't dwell on the matter too much. Instead, she took out a gold card from her pocket, examined the small print on it with interest, and said with a smile:

"When a player dies, their personal space disappears, but this card will fall out of their personal space and be picked up by the next player."

Ha, what a Fool's Society. After changing hands several times, what kind of mediocre person could have gotten this invitation card?

Mingyu, who do you think orchestrated this "Fool's Society"?

An Mingyu frowned slightly and took out his own card.

The card in her hand was given to her by Qin Xin. If it weren't for the rule that the Fire Keeper had to hand over any mysterious objects that they couldn't assess, this game might not have been so easy to complete.

The Fire Keeper has three cards in total: Card No. 16 in her possession, Card No. 13 in Qin Xin's possession, and Card No. 4, which is still kept in the Fire Keeper's secret base.

Zhen Xin took the No.1 that Zhen Yi had collected, and gave Cheng Shi the No.15.

Considering the few people present, it's not hard to guess that perhaps the invitation cards for this "Fool's Society" were originally only 16, corresponding to 16 different Faith.

"He's screening..." An Mingyu said.

"Screening? That's a good word. He is indeed screening, but what is his purpose in doing so?"

The attendees held various Faith, and it now appears that Deception occupied two seats, naturally excluding one particular Faith.

Among those who are not present in the Faith today, only these two are likely to be able to make such a big move.

So, is it possible that he or she is one of them?

Mingyu, do you have any more prophecies to make today?

An Mingyu smiled and shook his head:

"Destiny provides guidance, not answers."

If one blindly follows prophecies, one will gradually stray from the path of Destiny.

It should be understood that it is neither Predestination nor subject to Change.

I don't have enough information to offer any advice, but I think you're right; it seems like something those two people would do.

Especially him..."

Qin Xin smiled slightly upon hearing the Blind Man's words, but he quickly suppressed his smile, looked up, and gave a meaningful look.

The two chatted casually for a few more moments, and then left.

Before leaving, the Blind Man still couldn't find out Qin Xin's identity, which made her even more curious about the founder of the Fire Keeper.

She still remembered Zhen Xin's evaluation of Qin Xin, saying that he was "able to endure hardship and fight to the death," and that he was a very calm person who was "fearless in the face of danger and acted only after careful consideration."

People with this kind of personality are often very shrewd, so unless you use special methods, it is difficult to guess what they are thinking or what they are hiding.

But since she was there to cooperate, not to cause trouble, An Mingyu did not use his [Destiny] talent on Qin Xin.

She thought that perhaps one day, when everyone was familiar with and trusted each other, Qin Xin would naturally tell them the answers to these questions.

After the Fire Keeper left the space, the venue fell silent once again.

The spotlight went out, and the seating area Annihilation silent.

The venue, now devoid of any players, seemed to Yu Gui true silence.

But is that really the case?

No, after an unknown period of silence, Change occurred in the meeting room.

In the shadows far from the seating area, the flow of time suddenly distorted. This phenomenon, projected onto the space, made it seem as if the entire shadow was being "refreshed at high speed." Then, shortly afterward, the shadow seemed to come alive, its "mouth" moving as it spat out...

A short figure.

Although the figure was short, his eyes were bright and piercing.

He looked at the spot where Qin Xin and the Blind Man had stood, then at the direction where Hu Wei and the others had disappeared, and then thoughtfully rubbed his chin.

"[Prosperity]? Passing the Flame? Cheng Shi? [Destiny]? The Fool's Society?"

That's interesting, very interesting.

Tonight's excitement was definitely worth it!

This seems to be... the aura of [Birth]. Hmm, very strong. I'd better steer clear of this Fate Weaver in the future.

The figure was laughing happily, his fingertips spinning a golden card rapidly. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that it was an invitation card to the Fool's Society, and the number on the card was clearly written as No. 14.

"So Qin Xin was him?"

Oh dear, we are so close and inseparable in the realm of Nothingness, yet we are so distant when it comes to existence.

Qin Xin, why don't you ask me to be your so-called Fire Seeker?

While Destiny can be predicted, time can also be deduced. Am I any less capable than that Blind Man...?

Um?

Who!?"

The person in the shadows suddenly stopped talking and looked in a certain direction opposite.

He heard a noise coming from there, so his expression immediately darkened.

Is anyone else there?

He thought he was the last one to be caught, but he never expected that there were two such birds today.

He frowned, his eyes flashing coldly, and he pulled out an invisible Daggers, like a cheetah lurking in the shadows, waiting for his opponent to reveal a weakness.

But the caution on his face quickly froze.

Because he realized that the direction from which his voice came seemed to be...

Chen Shu the direction you are heading!

Could it be...?

Just as he was stunned, an arm suddenly emerged from under the ruins of the passage with a "whoosh," and then the arm moved aside many rubble stones, and a figure popped out from under the collapsed rocks.

As soon as the dusty, debris-covered head appeared, it flashed a bright smile at the shadows of the seating area, saying with immense joy:

"Old Man, what are you standing there for? Help me out!"

"Chen Shu, you didn't leave?!" The voice from the shadows exclaimed in surprise, even its tone was distorted with shock. "Damn, I knew it! You love excitement just like Zhen Yi, how could you just leave like that!"

The short figure seemed to recall some unbearable past events and immediately became agitated.

Without pausing for a moment, he vanished into [Time] the instant he realized the other party was Chen Shu, leaving this space without looking back.

"Don't go! The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts have lost their former virtues!"

"Look how stuck I am, and nobody's even helping me?"

Chen Shu sighed for a moment, then struggled to crawl out a couple more times. Seeing that there was no response from the other side, he rolled his eyes, immediately shook off the rubble on his body, and stood up.

He cautiously walked into the shadows, carefully observing and sensing for a while, then muttered to himself, "Really gone?"

However, apart from the voices of those Chen Shu, there was no response in the meeting room.

But Chen Shu didn't give up. He sat on the ground An Jing waiting for the other person to return. After who knows how much time had passed...

He finally opened his eyes again.

"It seems... he really is gone."

Now that everyone has left, Your Excellency... won't you show yourself?

I know you're here. If you don't come out soon, I'm going to call the police.

Peeping...

But that's illegal.
