Yadelik?

Was he ordinary? He was anything but ordinary. While others went to the shacks to indulge their desires, he went there to steal money.

Why should a miner whose standard of living is below average be able to get a spot to go to the Surface?

Did he steal the money?

Cheng Shi was speechless. He felt that everyone in the Door of Falling was rubbing their own brains in the sand. Fortunately, Yadelik was in the players' hands. As long as they matched up, they would know what this person was here for.

Cheng Shi shook his head and chuckled, then dragged Gers off the ground and headed toward the room where Yadelik was being held.

"Let's go. Before dealing with Arad, let's see what other little secrets this stowaway has up his sleeve."

Li Wufang was naturally indifferent. He chuckled and obediently followed behind Cheng Shi, but still did not choose to walk alongside him. Seeing the other party's attitude, Cheng Shi always felt that the other party was making way for him. This Investigator seemed to be deliberately trying to follow behind him. Where did this politeness come from?

Cheng Shi frowned, remained silent, and became even more cautious.

The room where Yadelik was imprisoned was next to Arad's. Soon, Cheng Shi threw Gers in front of the equally terrified Yadelik. However, when the two players saw the confusion and bewilderment in the miner's eyes, their faces instantly darkened.

Yadelik clearly didn't recognize the illegal immigrant!

But if they didn't know each other, how did this man named Gers manage to fool his Master of Deception?

Cheng Shi suddenly became alert. He casually pulled out a Scalpel and held it in his hand, his brows furrowing as he looked at Gers and said, "You'd better give me an explanation."

Gers, who had been dragged along and was gritting his teeth in pain from the friction, heard Cheng Shi call him and quickly looked up to look around. However, when he saw Yadelik, he froze, his eyes filled with fear and confusion.

"What's there to explain? I don't know this person..."

"Don't recognize him? What a convenient excuse! He's Yadelik. Didn't you say Yadelik helped you? How come you don't recognize him now?"

"He's Yadelik?" Gels rubbed his eyes in bewilderment, then looked the person in front of him up in the lamplight, before denying it with surprise and doubt. "He does look... a bit like him, but I'm not confused. I know Yadelik. He's definitely not Yadelik himself!"

The stowaway shook his head frantically, but as he shook it, he seemed to suddenly realize something and exclaimed:

"I know, he's a fake. He stole Yadelik's miner identity!"

He must be an illegal immigrant like me, trying to leave this place by using Proxy Hand's identity!

He must be a fake! Where's Yadelik? Where did you hide Yadelik?!

"You bastard, you didn't kill him, did you? He was my last hope! You've shattered my last hope, you bastard! Give me back my Gasmella citizenship!"

As he spoke, an extremely excited Gers actually threw a punch at Yadelik.

Yadelik was truly dumbfounded. He didn't recognize the madman in front of him at all, but he was a miner after all, and even though he was chained up, his strength was not something a skinny stowaway could contend with. So he straightened up and kicked Gers in the chest with a "thud," sending the angry and Despair stowaway flying straight to the door.

If Li Wufang hadn't intervened, Gers might have actually been kicked out the door.

For the first time, Cheng Shi didn't laugh out loud at the absurd scene before him.

This time, he really couldn't laugh anymore, because the Master of Deception told him that neither side was lying!

This means that either the illegal immigrant possesses the ability to deceive the Master of Deception, or... a new "Cencha" has emerged, and the illegal immigrant's perception is likely flawed.

There is no doubt about Yadelik's identity, because not only Cheng Shi, but also Qin Xin, who possesses the Master of Deception Card, and Wang Mou, a rigorous Believer in "Truth," have investigated this miner. No matter how well an ordinary NPC hides, it is impossible for him to deceive three Peak Player at the same time.

Therefore, the most likely problem is this illegal immigrant who sneaked into the mine. Although he seems panicked, his thinking is generally clear, and his language and behavior are not chaotic. He clearly knows what he wants and what he has lost, and he seems to be a very normal person.

Therefore, the only thing that might be abnormal is his perception.

"This is interesting. This Trials is really weird. Why are all the good things coming to us at once?" Cheng Shi sighed, then looked at Gers, who was wailing at the door, and asked again, "Alright, stop wailing. Are you sure the Yadelik you know isn't him?"

"I'm sure he stole Yadelik's identity!" Gers's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression suggested he wanted nothing more than to tear the person who had extinguished his hope of returning to the Surface alive.

"What does the Yadelik you know look like? What are his characteristics? Describe him in more detail, and maybe I can help you find him."

Upon hearing this, Yadelik became anxious.

"My lord! I am the real one! I did not steal your identity!"

I grew up in the mining area; I'm not an illegal immigrant at all. The old people in the Proxy Hand know me, and the girls in the shantytowns know me too. I can prove it; I..."

"Clang!"

A gleaming silver Scalpel was suddenly plunged between Yadelik's legs. The miner's waist and hips tightened, and he immediately fell silent, but the sudden fear still stimulated his bladder again, and he... urinated again.

"Shut up before I ask you. I'm asking him."

"Gers, this is your last chance. I hope you seize it."

"I'll tell you everything!"

Yadelik was very strong, a bit stronger than him, but about the same height. He had a mole on his cheek, and half of his Ear was missing, bitten off by a shack girl. Also, he had a bloody tattoo on his left arm, a picture of the first woman he slept with...

"???"

Before Gers could finish speaking, Yadelik snapped out of his fear, completely stunned. He instinctively shrank back, then looked at Gers in disbelief, utterly bewildered:

"Wait a minute... Why do I feel like the person you're talking about sounds like my father?"

"?"

Both players were surprised. Cheng Shi blinked and asked, "Your father is also named Yadelik?"

"Yes, sir. When I was little, everyone called me Little Yadelik. My father was Yadelik. After he died, I inherited his name and became the real Yadelik."

"..."

No, what's so great about inheriting a lousy miner's name?
