Who doesn't have some means of [Memory]?

This startled the only conscious man, but he neither screamed nor ran away. He simply covered his mouth tightly and lay back down on the ground, trying to Cheng Shi, the executioner, by pretending to be an innocent person who had fainted from fright.

The Blind Man frowned deeply upon seeing this. She wasn't against killing, but she couldn't understand why Cheng Shi insisted on killing the other person.

But what happened next really surprised her.

Cheng Shi pulled out a pale white Finger Bone Brooch from his pocket, then gently touched the dead Yadelik. His body suddenly opened its eyes again, a ghastly green light emanating from them.

"Look, it's not just [Memory] that understands Memory; [death] understands it to some extent as well."

Seeing the Blind Man frown in confusion, Cheng Shi smiled mysteriously, curled his lips, and asked Yadelik's corpse:

"What is your relationship with the woman you hit?"

The corpse sat up, swaying, and replied in a hoarse, eerie voice:

"Aromani ...is my...wife...my beloved...other half...I cannot tolerate...her...doing this...disgraceful...desecration of love...behind my back...I cannot accept..."

It's here!

When Cheng Shi heard the deceased Yadelik reveal that he and the woman in the shack were husband and wife, a glint flashed in his eyes. He immediately turned around, dragged up the burly man who was pretending to be unconscious, and asked him seriously, word by word:

"Are you sure Yadelik doesn't have a wife?"

The big man was terrified, and he blurted out:

"Sir, Yadelik has a notorious reputation in the shantytown. We just can't afford to pay, but he even steals money from women. The person who just stole money was instigated by him."

The women in those shantytowns are much more carefree than us. How could anyone possibly marry someone like that?

His bad habits were hard to change. If it weren't for Arad seeing that he was strong and protecting him, he would have been beaten to death by the people in the shantytown long ago.

"Sir, I can't very well tell you that the woman has developed feelings for someone else, can I?"

"..."

Dude, how can you, a freeloader, stand on moral high ground and criticize a thief for stealing?

Your behavior is pretty much the same.

Besides, how do you know that the feelings weren't stolen...? Love is a much more mysterious thing than Destiny.

Cheng Shi's thoughts were almost interrupted, but he was certain that the other party was not lying.

Therefore, this Yadelik does indeed have some issues.

Either the miner concealed their "love affair," or some Change occurred within him causing cognitive confusion. The most likely explanation for this Change is the key to solving this problem:

The Cencha in time.

Considering the clues given by the Trials, and given the three time points of past, future, and present, it's possible that Yadelik encountered a problem in the past or present.

Cheng Shi frowned slightly. Just as he was about to confirm the other party's condition, the Blind Man had been watching for a while also moved and joined the search for clues.

She stretched out one hand, holding a soft cocoon of light in her palm. Then, she spread her fingers and let the light white light slowly rise, transforming into a spider web that spread outwards and wrapped around the dead Yadelik.

Soon after, the spider web began to spread again, with several threads slowly connecting to the fallen people, and a thicker one wrapping directly around Cheng Shi's body.

Seeing this miraculous scene, Cheng Shi did not resist, because he had already sensed the power of [Destiny] contained in the spider web. This was clearly an extraordinary [Destiny] technique used by the [Chosen of God Destiny].

"Unraveling the mystery, a small auxiliary talent can help us find the individuals whose Destiny are intertwined with his more quickly."

As the Blind Man spoke, the spider silk continued to spread. The intertwined threads stretched through the dilapidated roof and rapidly extended outwards from the town.

Cheng Shi was deeply surprised. After a moment's thought, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you tracking Aromani's location?"

"That's right. We can't judge anything based solely on what Yadelik and this prisoner say. Finding Aromani is the key to this problem. But in Cheng Shi, you killed an NPC who could be the answer to the Trials. Aren't you afraid that the Trials will fail directly?"

"Death is never a simple thing, and no one but the Great One person can define death."

I didn't want to kill him, but my power of Memory was exhausted by death, so I had no choice but to do it.

As for why that the Great One understands [Memory], don't ask, I don't know either.

Of course, there is another consideration here, which is that moving a corpse is much simpler than taking away a living person. At least a corpse will not resist and there is no need to be on guard. So I am improving efficiency.

I will resurrect him when the time is right.

I am a Fate Weaver, and my specialty is...

That's a lie.

Of course, Cheng Shi couldn't say that. He smiled and easily lifted the burly Yadelik onto his shoulder.

"What I'm best at is mending other people's Destiny, and destiny is also a kind of Destiny."

As he spoke, he strode out, following the trail of the spider silk in the air.

The Blind Man's expression suddenly became interesting for a moment. She raised her eyebrows slightly, nodded thoughtfully, and followed Cheng Shi's steps away from there.

After the two living devils left, the burly man, covered in cold sweat, collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. He wanted to wake Arad and tell him that a terrible person had come to town, but when he thought that everything the other person knew came from his mouth, he immediately gave up the idea. He frantically picked up several barrels from the ground, drank the last of the wine in the barrels, and fell into a deep sleep again.

"You intend to merge with [Death]?" The Blind Man seemed very interested in this topic. She even Cheng Shi discussing the clues with Cheng Shi and quickly walked up to him, asking with a light laugh.

Cheng Shi naturally didn't tell the truth; he casually replied:

"No, I am a devout Believer [Destiny], and I will always walk on the path of [Nothingness]."

Although he had cleverly changed the second "Destiny" to "Nothingness," the Blind Man didn't understand what he Cheng Shi and nodded in agreement.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Cheng Shi was also curious about what this "Chosen of God Destiny" was thinking. So he threw the question back at the Blind Man and asked him what Faith he wanted to integrate. As a result, he heard the other party repeat his answer verbatim, just like him.

"I am also a devout Believer [Destiny], and I will firmly walk on the path He has opened up, without any other thoughts."

"..."

Cheng Shi fell silent, not because the two had engaged in another round of riddles, but because when he said it, it was a lie, but Blind Man said it... it actually seemed true!

She really didn't want to merge!

Even without Master of Deception, Cheng Shi could tell from the scene and tone that An Mingyu's devotion was genuine, almost radiant.

Why?

Isn't she afraid of falling behind?

Or was it that the so-called gift of "Nothingness" that gave her the courage to go far even with a single Faith?

Cheng Shi frowned, not quite understanding, but he did understand one thing: when false piety meets true piety, someone's nose... starts to itch.

Scratch, scratch, scratch.

Achoo!

Cheng Shi's face darkened. Who was talking behind my back?!
