Why "Cencha" Wasn't Aromani, but Xilolin?
But he had no choice; he knew that his only options, besides "cooperation," were "to die."
However, regardless of whether they cooperate or not, there is one thing he must figure out first.
"This Wise One who is yet to be enlightened, you may have made a mistake."
This is our first time in the shack area of Door of Falling, and the idea of contacting the Brotherhood of Extreme Desire only came to us this morning. So, are you sure the Brotherhood of Extreme Desire you mentioned is arranging a rendezvous with me and Allen Doyle?
Before we could even go inside, we were stopped by... your companion in a friendly manner. We'd only heard the name Xilolin from the street; we'd never even seen her before. So, is there some misunderstanding?"
"!!??"
Misunderstand?
Just arrived?
Never heard of Xilolin before!?
Upon hearing these words, Cheng Shi's expression changed slightly. His pupils contracted, and his gaze toward the two people in front of him gradually became serious. At the same time, the other two Passing the Flame also realized that something seemed amiss. What Morabik said was clearly different from what Cheng Shi had just told them.
But Qin Xin's Master of Deception told him that Cheng Shi wasn't lying, which meant that what was happening in front of them was very likely an anomaly in this Trials, a "Cencha" in a certain "time"!
The clues suddenly appeared in front of the three of them, and even more coincidentally, at that moment, the hour arrived again, and a faint buzzing sound came from Qin Xin's body.
The Blind Man looked over with slight surprise, tilting his head in confusion, and asked, "You set a time?"
Qin Xin was taken aback, then frowned slightly and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's better to be careful in the [Time] situation."
Although what he said made perfect sense, Cheng Shi instinctively frowned, feeling that something was not quite right. However, this slight doubt was quickly overshadowed by the excitement of finding a clue. He looked at the two people in front of him, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned up.
If the shantytown doesn't want to accommodate them, then who would it be?!
The burly man clearly stated the name Morabik. If they had really just arrived, then the "Cencha" in time might be right before their eyes!
Cheng Shi chuckled, but before confirming whether the other party was acting strangely, he had one more thing to do. He stepped forward, grabbed Morabik by the collar, his smile vanishing, and asked in a sinister tone:
"What did you say!?"
"I mean... is there some misunderstanding?" Morabik repeated awkwardly.
"Not this sentence, the previous one!"
"?" Morabik pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and then said uncertainly, "The Brotherhood of Extreme Desire making contact?"
"No, no, no, one more sentence!" Cheng Shi's tone became even more "fierce," but Morabik racked his brains but couldn't figure out what was wrong with the previous sentence. Wasn't it just a greeting?
However, Cheng Shi meant was this greeting!
What is meant by Wise One who is yet to be enlightened?
Who still awaits enlightenment?
You're calling me stupid?
"???"
Morabik was stunned. Not only him, but everyone present was stunned. Although there was indeed such a meaning to what he said, it was not incomprehensible considering that the other party was a so-called "Folly" Believer.
But is now the time to discuss this?
Qin Xin's gaze had been somewhat strange since earlier. His eyes darted back and forth between the Blind Man and Cheng Shi. After observing them for a while, he chose not to make a sound and listened silently.
The Blind Man was genuinely amused Cheng Shi this time. She knew that this Fate Weaver's logic was always so erratic, so she shook her head and laughed:
"I increasingly feel that the title of Fate Weaver is undeserved, but the profession of Clown is more suitable for you."
"Cheng Shi, let's not waste any more time. I just did another divination, and this time the result was very clear."
As she spoke, the Blind Man pulled out a 20-sided Dice, and the number on her palm was only 4.
"What did you divine this time?" Cheng Shi's eyes twitched slightly, and his face stiffened.
"I wanted to know if they were related to [Time], and His answer was most likely 'no', so I wondered if the 'Cencha' of [Time] might not be them, but rather the one who gave the rendezvous order, Xilolin?"
After all, the two contacts and Xilolin you mentioned all knew about Morabik's existence, but it's impossible that all three of them were anomalies, right?
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. It seems I need to bring them over for further questioning."
"By the way, where's Xilolin, Qin Xin? I remember she was in your hands. Where did you hide her?" Cheng Shi looked at Qin Xin in confusion.
"Exploring a place where no one can find her is bound to lead to unexpected accidents, so it's best to be careful. But judging from the current situation, it's time to take her out."
Take it out?
Where did this Fire Keeper hide the person?
When did he become as cautious as I am?
Cheng Shi glanced at Qin Xin thoughtfully, then nodded and said, "Let's split up. An the Chosen here and don't move. I'll bring the person over right away."
"Then let's see who's faster." Qin Xin laughed and instantly transformed into a gust of wind, disappearing from the spot. His speed was comparable to that of an agile Hunter.
Cheng Shi was shocked. This was the first time he had seen his opponent display his strength so directly. If warriors could all move at this speed, then other classes would probably be out of the game.
But... so what if you run fast?
Peak Player don't run; we all teleport!
Cheng Shi chuckled, snapped his fingers, and vanished from the spot in an instant.
Never-Lost Gambling Tools!
The Blind Man recognized Cheng Shi's talent and was surprised that a Fate Weaver would choose such a talent. Of course, it was indeed useful, but for Fate Weaver, there were too many good talents that could help with professional growth, and this kind of talent that was only used for movement was not very cost-effective.
"A remarkable person, truly a remarkable person."
Where do you two intend to go? What, now that those two gentlemen have left, you think you can take advantage of me, a weak woman, and not be able to see where you are?
The Blind Man's words struck Morabik and Allen Doyle like a thunderclap. They were hunched over, carrying the Blind Man on their backs, and moving silently away. But they were caught red-handed after taking only one step. The two of them froze on the spot, their faces showing a hint of panic and helplessness.
Of course, these two Wise One were not so self-aware. The reason they stopped was not because they were frightened by the Blind Man, but because the Chosen of God of "Destiny" had made his move.
Although the Singer is a support role, she still has some necessary tools at her disposal, especially the Blind Man, who has many more tricks up her sleeve with Zhen Xin's help.
"Don't worry, I won't tell them about this, especially the Fate Weaver who just 'tortured' you. But how he reacts next will depend on your own behavior."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Qin Xin returned carrying Xilolin. He tossed Xilolin's body aside like a whirlwind, then looked in the direction Cheng Shi had come from and laughed loudly again.
"It seems I've won."
The Blind Man glanced at him with slight surprise, shook his head and chuckled, "I've never seen you so childlike in your competitive spirit."
Qin Xin slowly turned her head to look at the Blind Man, her smile carrying a profound meaning:
"Then let's not miss this opportunity and take a few more glances."
Don't rush, it's time to start the closing.
