Extra Time...

Impossible, this must be a trap.

She's taking advantage of my kindness again. Unfortunately, my kindness is reserved for good people. For wicked people like you, you only deserve to be stabbed by me.

Cheng Shi observed the other party intently for a few seconds, then quietly pulled a Scalpel from his sleeve and held it in his hand.

He held the knife up to the back of Poison's head and made two precise gestures, then...

With a swift strike, he shattered the window beside him and leaped out without hesitation.

He never intended to fight; he just wanted to leave!

Just kidding. Cheng Shi didn't think he could kill someone who even a peak warrior couldn't kill after fighting for a long time. He was very self-aware.

Just like when he killed Mo Shu's double, all his scheming would only cost him one of the Peak Player's lives. Since he couldn't kill him no matter what, why make trouble for himself?

Besides, he had no blood feud with Poison, so why not just run away?

Stay away from danger, and you'll be done with it.

That being said, the problem is that sometimes reality doesn't go as planned.

Just as Cheng Shi leaped out of the attic, a strong arm suddenly reached out from the floor, grabbed his ankle, and pulled him back.

"..."

Cheng Shi seemed to have anticipated this. Without any embarrassment, he used the momentum to leap back, then landed heavily beside the already awakened Poison, and sneered:

"You came back to life pretty quickly, huh?"

Poison's face paled again. She blinked weakly and said, "You really want to leave me that badly?"

Cheng Shi nodded coldly. "Yes, I really want to, I really want to. So, may I leave now?"

A hint of Lost flashed in Poison's eyes. She pursed her lips tightly and said with a complicated expression, "Then you should leave."

After saying that, she turned her head away and began to sob.

"..."

Cheng Shi didn't move, not because he had changed his mind, but because the Poison was still tightly gripping his ankle, and he was afraid that if he moved, his leg would be ruined.

"Have you finished acting? If you have, then let go. I told you I wouldn't treat you until I get your information."

However, in my opinion, you probably don't need treatment.

"Who said I don't need it? I'm really hurt."

Poison suddenly stopped crying. Her emotional shift was so rapid that her eyes, which had just been red from crying, instantly returned to normal the moment she turned around.

She looked at Cheng Shi with great interest, scrutinizing this old acquaintance, and smiled, a slight smile playing on her lips:

"What, you're interested in [The Gift of Scars] too?"

Cheng Shi glanced at her but didn't speak. Seeing that Cheng Shi was ignoring her, Poison sighed and said:

"It seems you can't let go of your prejudice against me either, sigh..."

It's okay, I'm used to it. This is a world full of prejudice.

But when everyone has prejudices against others, isn't that a way of correcting the world?

Perhaps prejudice... is the most authentic perspective of ordinary people.

But I want to make one thing clear: I have no prejudice against you, little Priest. I know you're a good person, always have been.

So the moment I saw you, I was overjoyed, because I knew that in this Trials, I finally had someone I could entrust my life to.

As she spoke, Poison sat up, turned her back, and in front of Cheng Shi, unbuttoned her tattered down jacket, revealing a bare back covered in blood and wounds.

Yes, bare back.

"..."

Cheng Shi was shocked.

No, ma'am, what kind of decent person would go without clothes under their down jacket?

His expression stiffened slightly, his lips twitched, and he said helplessly, "The back you're talking about shouldn't be this back!"

Poison, lightly covering her chest, turned around and said with a hint of surprise:

"Of course not, I just wanted you to see my wound."

Oh~

"I see, so you like this?"

"..."

Cheng Shi's expression froze, and he turned to leave, but as soon as he took a heavy step forward, the Poison spoke again.

"The Gift of Scars lies within this Trials; if you leave now, you will never obtain it again."

Cheng Shi paused, his brows furrowing tightly.

The truth!

She was actually telling the truth!

The Gift of Scars is actually here?

It seems that Hu Wei and Da Yi's target really was that!

What about the God of Merriment? What does He mean?

He wants him to retrieve the "Gift of Scars," the dagger said to be the dream weapon of all Assassin?

Hiss--

The soul of an Emissary is indeed very attractive...

No, no, no, Cheng Shi, you must remember that the Great One's words: Greed is a path to death. Before you understand the background of this Trials and the motives of everyone, you must not let the [Filth and Decay] tempt your greed!

The Filth and Decay Chosen of God before you is influencing your desires!

The most important thing right now is to figure out where we are, why the Poison is here, and whether she... is also here for Dizer's soul.

Just as Cheng Shi was frowning in deep thought, the Poison made its sound again.

"Young Priest, I've already paid the deposit, shouldn't we... start the session now?"

Calling?

Who is a kind person who can arrange treatment by calling Zhong?

Cheng Shi's expression instantly became interesting. He glanced at the two bloody holes on Poison's shoulder, then sighed and casually cast a Healing Art.

The healing light enveloped Poison's back, freezing the still-bleeding wound. Poison felt its body no longer losing blood, and a comfortable tremor escaped its throat as it curled up the corners of its mouth.

"Don't stop, keep going."

"???"

No, sis, if you keep going like this, my view of the world will be like wearing tinted glasses. Can you please stop making so many weird noises?

Cheng Shi was speechless. He wanted to curse at the other party, but when he turned around, his expression slowly became serious because he found that the Healing Art had only stopped the bleeding and the other party's back injury had not healed at all.

This means that the [Silent] Hunter's arrow did indeed cause great damage to the Poison, and even now, there are still residual forces tormenting the wounded Assassin in front of him.

It wasn't a minor injury, it was a serious injury, a very serious injury.

But she acted like nothing was wrong and kept talking nonsense.

"Are you really injured?" Cheng Shi asked in surprise.

Poison turned its head to the side, nodded with a look of grievance in its eyes, and remained silent with its pale lips tightly pressed together.

Cheng Shi frowned and immediately unleashed another purification spell, followed by healing, Mental Technique, and Calming Technique, one after another, striking the Poison's back.

With the massive amount of treatments administered, Poison's injuries finally began to slowly improve.

Just as Poison felt her power slowly recovering, even to the point of recovering a third of its original strength, the Healing Art that had been cast on her suddenly stopped.

Poison turned around in surprise, only to see Cheng Shi, who had just been gently treating her, now looking at her with a cold smile and saying:

"Once the clock for the deposit is finished, tell me where the [Gift of Scars] is, and I can add more time for you."

Poison's expression froze for a moment, then his eyes lit up with joy as he said:

"How long can it last?"

"Until cured."

"Oh?

"Well... could you add some special services, little pastor?"

"..."

Oh no, the snow is turning yellow again.
