True Speedrun!

Cheng Shi waited a while longer.

His original intention was to wait for Da Yi to lose his curiosity and come in to take a look. In that case, he could repeat his conversation with Da Yi in front of the Evil Infant Tribunal. However, this time his performance would be even more flawless.

But this [chaotic] Assassin was very cautious, especially after Cheng Shi inexplicably pointed out something to him, he seemed a little hesitant to come in.

However, this did not affect Cheng Shi's plan, because when Poison chose the path of Afros, victory in this Trials was already in Cheng Shi's grasp.

He took Qu Yan away from the courthouse and returned to Rosna Conscription Plaza. When Da Yi saw the two of them returning one after the other with strange expressions, his expression changed slightly.

"Poison..."

"Don't worry about her. I took her to see an old friend. They probably have a lot to talk about."

Cheng Shi interrupted Da Yi's probing, not even glancing at him directly before walking towards one side of the square, saying as he went:

As for you...

Come with me. A lot has happened in Rosna, and a lot has Change. Some of these Change were unexpected and even influenced by their will. This time, I misjudged the situation.

Your task has become more difficult, so to ensure there are no further mishaps, I had to come in person.

I sent Hu Wei to another place. As for the two who died, well, it was to eliminate the watchful eyes of those behind them.

And this silent child...

His Qu Yan, and he will be traveling with us for a while.

Every word Cheng Shi said felt like a giant hammer slamming into Da Yi's heart, leaving him utterly shocked. In particular, when Cheng Shi said, "I sent Hu Wei to another place," his shock reached its peak.

He truly is Ultraman, and can only be Ultraman.

No one but Him could know so clearly what they had done.

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Da Yi followed in a daze. He wasn't confused about the current situation, but rather about why this person was impersonating Cheng Shi. As he thought about it, he remembered the scene when Old Hu brought Cheng Shi back.

Human thought processes are always consistent. Before being reset, Da Yi had already figured everything out. Now, he was simply going through this logic in his mind again, and then he convinced himself for the second time.

Cheng Shi is that the Great One!

Once he realized this, his gaze toward the Chameleon became strange.

This "silent" Believer has probably been controlled by the Master using "chaotic" methods. Does he still think the Master is some kind of "silent" Emissary?

And then there's the Gongyang Jiao who died earlier and that teammate they never even met. They were truly pitiful. Everyone knows how difficult it is for Peak Player to reach the pinnacle, but now, just because Ultraman himself came along, these two unlucky souls lost their lives without a trace.

It's truly pathetic. I wonder if those who died at the hands of the Emissary can ever be resurrected?

Da Yi had a lot on his mind, and Qu Yan, who was walking beside him, was no less thoughtful.

This silent Believer had no idea that Da Yi was not "war" but "chaos," so all he could think about was why Da Yi, an Assassin, was always so tough around everyone he met. Putting aside the ruthlessness of "war," it turned out that there was actually an Emissary standing behind him!

If I had an Emissary standing behind me, I would be just as confident!

[Fool's Game] It seems that the Master has already established a large enough influence among the players. He once said that he was looking for himself?

What does this mean? Is He not His complete self now?

If an incomplete Emissary can be so powerful, what if He regained Himself...?

Qu Yan's gaze burned even brighter. He had only one thought in his mind: how could he help Lord Foolish Play find himself?

I really want to improve!

And so, the two players, whose channels were completely different, understood each other's behavior with two completely self-consistent sets of logic, and together followed Cheng Shi.

And judging from this, they wouldn't be surprised if the identities of the three Change again during this period.

After all, isn't this what chaos (Deception) means to them?

Cheng Shi walked very fast, introducing everything about Rosna to the two of them as he went.

These words originally came from the mouth of Poison, but now they have all become clear evidence of Ultraman and Lord Foolish Play knowledge.

Of course, the Emissary nature, because they are beyond everything.

"The Rosna Royal Family abandoned their Faith, and the Gift of Scars was lost by some twist of fate. The reasons for this are complicated, and you don't need to know them. You only need to know that the First Prince of the Rosna Royal Family and his wife and children are hidden in this house."

"Go, bring them back. We're heading to the Imperial Court; time is running out."

Da Yi and Qu Yan had no idea what time was running out, but upon hearing the order, they immediately carried it out with solemn expressions and meticulous attention to detail.

They broke down the door and easily apprehended the owners of the house. After confirming the identities of a couple and their child by asking a few casual questions, the two exchanged a glance and quietly concealed their shock.

Having faith is one thing, but witnessing firsthand that every word spoken by that the Great One is an infallible guide is another.

These two players are currently in this state: bewildered but also a little excited.

They had no idea what would happen to Rosna or how the Trials would go, but they did know that as long as that the Great One was there, everything would be... so simple.

This feeling is amazing! So this is what it feels like to be carried by someone.

This is a high-level match, and who else can carry a group of Peak Player in such a high-level game? After thinking about it, it can probably only be them...

Cheng Shi saw the two men bringing people out, he smiled and walked towards the Imperial Court.

"There's still time. That historian who was abandoned by the Rosna Royal Family probably hasn't frozen to death in the snow yet. But even if he's dead, it doesn't matter, since the dead don't lie."

Da Yi and Qu Yan followed closely behind the First Prince and his family. Da Yi was very curious and wanted to ask what had happened in this place called Rosna, but he was afraid that asking too many trivial questions would make the Great One think that he knew nothing.

He really wanted the Chameleon to ask, but the problem was that the Believer of "Silence" were truly...

That's cheating!

He could tell that Qu Yan was also very curious, but the other party adhered to the Faith in "silence" and simply did not speak.

No, you've been fooled by the "chaos," so why are you still putting up with it?

Da Yi was furious, but then he remembered that Ultraman was probably no one's equal in the eyes of the other party, so he sighed and admitted defeat.

"Grandma... Old Hu couldn't follow in the footsteps of the adults here; it was just bad luck for him."

"?"

Your quirky speech pattern, with its thick eyebrows and big eyes, is actually quite clever.

Cheng Shi chuckled and said, "He has his own place to go."

Seeing that the adult was in a good mood, Da Yi finally couldn't resist his curiosity and asked a question while the iron was hot.

"My lord, the historian you mentioned..."

Cheng Shi had already sensed Da Yi's doubts. The reason he hadn't explained everything was because he was waiting for someone to ask. Otherwise, it would be too much of a loss of image for Ultraman to have to explain everything from beginning to end.

To be fair, [Chaos] is more reliable. If both of them believed in [Silence], he really wouldn't know how to show off his full head of precognition.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi smiled and "thoughtfully" explained the cause and effect of the Rosna Royal Family's escape. After knowing everything, Da Yi finally realized what the so-called "Gift of Scars" really meant.

"Sir, where are we now...?"

"Find the historian and restore the teleportation array."

History is never torn apart, and Memory will not allow it to over-smear its collection.

Since the guidance given by [Decay] lies in the Rosna Empire, then we must have a way to find the [Gift of Scars].

I need to have the historian and the First Prince recall exactly when the Daggers was lost. If anyone could have sneaked into the First Prince's residence and taken the Daggers, it could only be an inside traitor within the royal court.

Now that the imperial court is completely empty, the teleportation array is the only way to find that traitor.

Yes, Cheng Shi's goal was the teleportation array.

He suddenly realized that in the previous cycle, amidst Da Yi's leadership and the complex interpersonal relationships within the team, he had missed a lot of information, one of which was the damaged teleportation array.

Although the historian did not lie, no one knew the extent of the damage to the teleportation array, whether it could be repaired, or how it could be repaired. The six people fought so hard that their brains were practically popping out of their heads, and in the end, the Screaming Count ate the only person with a clue.

This time, with all distractions eliminated, Cheng Shi finally had enough time to properly search for traces of the [Gift of Scars].

The group once again braved the wind and snow to enter the imperial court, but when they saw that there was no one in the vast imperial court, the First Prince's expression became extremely complicated.

Are you mourning the stupidity of the Rosna Royal Family, or lamenting your own Foolish Deed?

Your First Prince, we are almost there. I hope that after meeting the historian, you will spark the connection I'm looking for.

Remember, that spark was the only flame that could keep you from dying in the snowstorm... Hope's Flame.
