Silence Is Tonight's Cambridge

The S-rank Faith Talent for Memory Travelers, [Memory], Flowing Light.

Travel through the target's memory fragments as a traveler, constantly searching for scenes and images that interest you, much like a quick trip.

Du Xiguang is not selfish; at least, Cheng Shi knew he was willing to share.

When Yun Ni's memories were read just now, he somehow managed to imprint the scenes from the memories onto the street floor.

Then, all the Players present witnessed this:

A well-built female Assassin lifted her vest, revealing the two astonishing... underneath.

Ahem.

This was clearly Yun Ni's memory of changing clothes.

The reason for changing clothes was naturally because someone had stabbed her in the chest, piercing her vest.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Well, this was great. The scene had suddenly turned into a conversion ceremony for [Silence].

Everyone was completely silent.

Cheng Shi's mouth twitched as he looked at the stiff-faced Du Xiguang, unable to hold back his complaints.

After all that effort to find an excuse to look for interesting Assassin memories, you show everyone this?

You really don't treat your brothers like outsiders!

Yun Ni was only controlled, not blind. She naturally saw the scene on the ground.

But she wasn't angered.

She simply coldly plunged her dagger into Du Xiguang's heart, sliced open his chest and abdomen, severed his neck, and gouged out his eyes...

Then, when he opened his eyes again under the protection of [Bloom Awaits Withering], she asked:

"Was it good-looking?"

The weak and powerless Du Xiguang couldn't resist the effect of [Confession] at all and immediately replied:

"It was good-looking!"

Then, his eyes suffered another heavy blow.

"Ah!"

If Cheng Shi hadn't been there to pull them apart, Du Xiguang might not have made it through the night under the torment of the divine power of [Annihilation].

After venting, Yun Ni glanced at Cheng Shi expressionlessly.

"You liked it, didn't you? Was it good-looking?"

Damn, the little girl really holds a grudge!

But Cheng Shi wasn't afraid of this.

After so many experiences, he was indeed immune to scenes of this degree.

But unexpectedly, he still blurted out:

"It was good-looking!"

The moment he realized he had said the wrong thing, his face turned ashen, and he quickly retreated two steps.

Unexpectedly, Yun Ni didn't attack him like she did Du Xiguang. Instead, she said with an unfathomable meaning:

"Come to my room tonight, and you'll see something even better."

"..."

A trap!

It was definitely a trap!

For the first time, Cheng Shi felt that believing in [Silence] wasn't so bad. At least he wouldn't have to rack his brain to respond.

Praise [Silence]!

The playful interlude came to an end.

Fang Jue was a man of business.

He swore that his eyes had only glanced at the alluring scene on the ground before he immediately remembered that he was here to interrogate someone, not to joke around.

His target was clearly not Cheng Shi.

It was the Ascetic who had been absent from the group the entire time.

This follower of [Silence] had disappeared early on, and when he reappeared, he was the one who led them to the body.

Where he went and what he did during that time was completely unknown.

Coupled with the fact that followers of [Silence] were masters at stifling sound, whether Wei Guan had been killed by him was the first thing Fang Jue needed to confirm.

The Ascetic clearly realized the suspicion on him, but this time he didn't remain silent. Instead, he took the initiative to speak:

"It wasn't me."

Silence was broken!

Everyone stared at him in astonishment, first stunned, then their hearts sank.

The direness of the situation had driven a believer of [Silence] to break his silence and seek cooperation, meaning all Players were facing a very tricky murderer this time.

Most importantly, the Players' self-proclaimed life-saving methods seemed to be utterly worthless in the murderer's eyes.

The arrogant Wei Guan was the best proof of this.

The scene fell silent again.

Fang Jue stopped singing his ballad and began to meticulously examine all the traces at the scene.

After Du Xiguang recovered, he and Cheng Shi split up to examine every building in the vicinity.

The inspection was so thorough that they almost pulled out the bugs sleeping in the door cracks, took an X-ray of them, and then put them back, but still found nothing.

Yun Ni performed the autopsy again, but the result was exactly the same as the one from the Law Enforcement Bureau that afternoon.

No wounds.

A strange atmosphere permeated the air, and everyone's expression was off.

Cheng Shi frowned and walked towards Wei Guan's corpse.

He noticed the terror on Wei Guan's face.

It was almost funny that this Hunter of Fools, who had always looked down on others with squinted eyes, opened them wide for the first time before his death.

"Don't you have a way to read memories?"

"I do, but dead people are different," Du Xiguang replied expressionlessly. "I'm a Mage, not a Hunter."

Cheng Shi nodded and began to carefully examine the corpse's pupils.

Yun Ni approached him and said coldly:

"Don't bother looking for anything in his pupils. That murderer dealt with all traces calmly. He's a perfect killer."

Cheng Shi indeed found no clues. He sighed and started examining the limbs.

The body still had a slight warmth, indicating that he had died not long ago.

Cheng Shi still found it hard to understand how a life could be extinguished so silently.

Could it be that even Wei Guan, at level 2400, couldn't struggle even once against the murderer?

Or was it... that the method of killing was indeed a curse?

The murderer didn't even need to be at the scene, just operating remotely, to end Wei Guan's life?

Was this level of killing method erasing the victim's consciousness or stopping their heartbeat?

With this thought, Cheng Shi's hand touched the corpse's chest.

It was a little cold.

He had been dead for a while.

Huh?

Something's wrong!

Why were Wei Guan's limbs still warm, but his chest was already cold?

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow and began to feel around Wei Guan's chest with his fingertips.

Seeing this, Fang Jue asked curiously:

"Are you a doctor?"

"It seems your memory isn't very good. I told you, I'm a Reason Corroder."

"A doctor and a Priest are not the same thing."

Fang Jue was clearly referring to Cheng Shi's previous profession. Cheng Shi didn't hide it and nodded.

Yun Ni asked with great interest:

"You chose to be a Priest because of that?"

Cheng Shi shook his head.

"Then why?"

"The [Confession] is over. Do you think you can still get answers from me?"

Yun Ni chuckled and said no more.

Cheng Shi was not a doctor before the [Faith Game] descended, but he did know some medical skills, like observing, inquiring, and palpating.

These skills were not learned in school but were taught by his adoptive father, a cheerful old man.

As for why a junk collector would know medical skills, Cheng Shi couldn't say.

He hadn't asked.

He carefully felt the muscle texture and fascial pressure beneath the corpse's skin. After a long while, he looked up and asked:

"I need a needle."

Everyone frowned upon hearing this, shaking their heads one after another.

Only Yun Ni glanced at him and asked:

"Where should I poke?"

Cheng Shi gave her a somewhat surprised look and pointed to the center of Wei Guan's corpse, saying:

"Here, straight into the heart."
