"Unbeaten" Anomaly

"She's in so much pain, I'll help her relieve some of the pain temporarily, so we'll have three people working together."

It's a shame that I wasted that ball of yarn.

What are you looking at? I've always been this kind. No need to praise me. Let's offer all the praise to our Lord of Grace, for it is He who guided me to do this.

Let's go, my friends, now is the most efficient way.

As for you, Aromani, I believe you will obediently stay here and help us gather any useful information you can, right?

Aromani was terrified. Her face turned deathly pale, and she nodded frantically, like a chicken pecking at rice.

"I like the shantytowns because the people there are really easy to talk to."

Is this how you calculate whether someone is easy to communicate with?

The Blind Man sighed and shook her head, saying helplessly, "Every time my impression of you becomes a little clearer, you immediately overturn and erase it. Cheng Shi, have you always been this careful?"

"Watch out, what are you watching out for? Are there enemies here?"

"... Alright, perhaps you've always been this cautious, but the Fire Keeper isn't worth all your effort. Qin Xin, let's go."

As she spoke, the Blind Man woman led the way out of the shack, but after taking only a couple of steps, she suddenly turned back and asked Cheng Shi in a puzzled tone:

"By the way, why didn't you use the [Memory] of [death] to confirm what I asked earlier this time?"

Cheng Shi was taken aback, then a playful smile appeared on his lips, "Why bother showing off your skills in front of an expert? There's Believer of [Memory] here, and he hasn't made a move. Why should I embarrass myself? Don't you think so, Qin Xin?"

Qin Xin smiled slightly, glanced at Xilolin in her hand, and shook her head. "No need to waste your energy. I trust our friends. Your questions are very comprehensive. [Memory] is useless."

With that, he took the lead in leaving the shack, and the Blind Man raised an eyebrow and followed closely behind.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Shi frowned.

This Believer of [Memory] is becoming increasingly mysterious. Judging from the beginning of this Trials, he seems to have... never used the power of [Memory] yet.

Of course, Cheng Shi's idea of "using" is to personally use the power of Faith, rather than borrowing any prop called "Memory".

But that's not the strangest thing. The strangest thing is the Blind Man's attitude. The question that the Prophet asked after pausing didn't seem to be directed at him at all.

Hiss--

Did she also have doubts about Qin Xin's identity?

Could it be that there's a little-known secret between the founders of the Fire Keeper and the Fire Seeker?

Cheng Shi was amused. He silently noted it down, then randomly chose a direction and headed deeper into the shantytown.

But as soon as he stepped out the door, he suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten the time. So he quickly looked at his watch and found that, coincidentally, it would be the hour in a few seconds.

Cheng Shi's gaze sharpened, and he instantly looked up. He saw that the Blind Man had already walked quite a distance and was about to turn the corner. He shouted to stop the Blind Man, pointed to his wrist, and said, "You two, be careful."

The Blind Man understood and nodded with some relief. However, when he turned back to look for Qin Xin, he found that the leader had already turned the corner and left without worry.

It seems there is no danger here.

She smiled slightly, did a quick divination, and then, holding a Dice with a 2, continued walking with a strange expression.

It seems I've chosen the wrong path?

Cheng Shi, of Cheng Shi behind the scenes. He immediately set to work, retracing his steps back to the edge of the shack. Enduring the filthy noise around him, he threw the Dice one by one at the doorway of each shack he passed.

Yes, he withdrew from the center and planned to re-explore the outskirts.

Two Fire Keeper are enough for the central area. Cheng Shi is more concerned about the mud houses and sentry posts surrounding the shack area. These buildings are like tentacles surrounding the shacks, closely connected with other areas, forces, and people of the Door of Falling. Investigating here will obviously uncover more relationships and expand the circle of clues.

So he set a goal and began to investigate the outermost edge of the shantytown.

He had assumed that even if this shantytown was rotten, Filth and Decay, and full of defiled Faith, there must be some people doing real work in the watchtowers that acted as eyes and ears.

As a result Cheng Shi turned around halfway and realized that he was wrong, terribly wrong.

There was no difference between the outside and the inside. Some were playing, some were drinking, some were whipping, and some were being tortured. The variety and number of the activities were astounding.

These members of the Brotherhood of Extreme Desire didn't see this place as a lookout post, but rather as a novel experience zone different from the shack-like atmosphere.

Look, they can still serve customers even while on rotation. How dedicated they are!

"..."

Cheng Shi was numb. As he walked, he rinsed his eyes with water, thinking to himself that the Faith of "Filth and Decay" was something he absolutely could not touch.

Fortunately, I stayed true to myself and never bowed to my desires.

After exploring for a while, Cheng Shi arrived at the other side of the shack area. A short walk northeast from here would lead to the cell where Yadelik had been imprisoned. He thought that if he still couldn't find anything, he might as well go and bring back Xilolin's brother. Taking control of two local thugs at once might make the next few days' operations go more smoothly.

But just then, just when Cheng Shi had given up all hope for the shantytown, something unusual happened.

As Xilolin said, when everyone else is getting beaten up but you aren't, you're the one who's abnormal.

In the mud house in front of Cheng Shi, there were two people who "hadn't been beaten".

It's so An Jing here. Everyone else is busy with other things when they're at work. Why are you two actually working here?

Cheng Shi laughed. He felt he had finally discovered something interesting, so he threw a Dice outside the door, knocked, and went inside.

The two rather burly men inside were startled when they heard someone knocking on the door. When they saw Cheng Shi's unfamiliar attire, their expressions lit up with joy. They rushed to Cheng Shi grabbed his hands without saying a word, their words filled with excitement.

"Mr. Morabik? It's been three days! I'm so glad you're here. If you hadn't come soon, all my regular customers would have left!"

"???"

What the heck?

Cheng Shi was stunned.

He suddenly felt conflicted, unsure whether he should respond or not.

In accordance with his usual practice, when he encounters a situation where someone is mistaken for another person, he will immediately put on the person's disguise and try to get some information out of the other person.

But today, he was facing two men from the shantytown, and they were very likely members of the Brotherhood of Extreme Desire. Could he still wear this disguise in front of such people?

They probably won't completely expose my true identity... right?

It really is 9.8 points! You guys are the best!!!

Without further ado, the 90-update-per-month mode is starting. Starting from New Year's Day, there will be three updates per day until the end of January. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, the exact number of updates should be 93 per month.

Of course, if there are any unforeseen circumstances, I mean if... I will guarantee at least two updates a day, and all the missed chapters will be made up in February, with two chapters made up for each missed chapter. I will never intentionally delay updates (I can't afford to delay...)!

Finally, thank you again to all the friends who love "Fool's Game"! bows

New Year, new look! Tomato, the new writer, will be updating 90 times a month!
