Yadelik? That Was My Father!

"???"

Gers was also stunned. He was startled by Yadelik's words and quickly shook his head, saying:

"Impossible. Yadelik is the same age as me. How could he have such a big son?"

What was your father's name? I mean, before he changed his name; I know he had changed his name before!

"Hanks, his name was Hanks before he changed it!"

"!!!"

Upon hearing the name, Gers was completely stunned.

Oh wow, it finally matches!

However, the timing was wrong.

Seeing the illegal immigrants' reaction, a glint of light flashed in Cheng Shi and Li Wufang's eyes at the same time. They exchanged a glance and came to the same conclusion: the past Cencha!

If nothing unexpected happens, this illegal immigrant who knows Yadelik's father is probably someone who was thrown from the past by time and landed in the present.

But he clearly said he fell from the Abyssal Volcano. Could it be that all these "Cencha" are related to the Abyssal Volcano?

The previous [Abyssal Volcano] connected the underground and the Surface at the same time. Could it be that the volcano in this Trials connects the past and future of the same location?

It's not impossible; if we extrapolate in this way, Yadelik's Change and Xilolin's anomalies might also be related to the Abyssal Volcano.

Both players were clearly aware of the problem, but the Investigator's curiosity was far greater than Cheng Shi's. He smiled, picked up the Gers in his hand, and asked Yadelik in a friendly manner:

"Have you been to the [Abyssal Volcano] recently?"

"?" Yadelik was taken aback, thinking that the other party had asked a pointless question. He was a miner who, apart from the days he was imprisoned, spent almost every day at the Abyssal Volcano, except that he was not in the heart of the volcano, but mining lava crystals on the outer perimeter.

But of course he dared not say that, and could only honestly say, "Sir, if you mean this week when you say recently, then no, because I was imprisoned by Arad. But if it was a week ago, I was working in the mine almost every day."

"A week ago? Xilolin came to see you a week ago?" Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Xilolin?" Yadelik quickly recalled for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, she did come by. She wanted to bribe me to help her steal the Abyssal Crystal, but I'm so loyal to the Proxy Hand, how could I..."

"If you lie again, I'll chop you up." Cheng Shi sneered.

"To be honest! I have no access to the Abyssal Crystal, so naturally I can't agree to her request..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, instantly connecting all the clues and understanding the whole story.

"So after you rejected her, she went to find your coworker, the miner you were locked up with?"

Yadelik was taken aback, then nodded awkwardly, "Yes."

"But he's just an ordinary miner, how could he possibly steal the colored crystal for Xilolin?"

However, your coworker is even more Greed than you. He agreed to Xilolin's request and took the opportunity to make his own demands.

But in Xilolin's eyes, his request was an admission of desire, so she would never refuse.

While they were celebrating their desires, you, Yadelik, you loyal Proxy Hand the miners, stole Xilolin's money and used it to drown your sorrows in alcohol in the shacks, took Aromani for a walk by the crystal pool all night, and finally beat him up before dawn.

"So... that's the whole reason Arad put you two in solitary confinement, isn't it, Yadelik?"

Cheng Shi spoke faster and faster, and in the end, what he said made him laugh.

Upon hearing this, Yadelik nodded frantically like a chicken pecking at rice, confessing to his "crimes" without reservation, and even offering a few flattering remarks.

"Sir, you are truly amazing; you guessed everything."

"..."

Cheng Shi was stunned. He had only one thought in his mind: to bring Chen Shu to the Door of Falling. He wanted to know whether Chen Shu, with his level of Chen Shu, would accept continuing education or be able to teach and enlighten the residents here, helping them to take their thinking to the next level!

However, these are just random thoughts during leisure time. The most important thing right now is that the players seem to have encountered another "Cencha" situation, and it turns out that the clues to this Cencha are very clear, almost like they were given away for free.

Such a thing is unimaginable in a Trials of time. Cheng Shi and Li Wufang exchanged another glance, and for a moment, they were at a loss for words.

After a long silence, Cheng Shi sighed softly, "This is Destiny. It's always so... magical."

Upon hearing this, Li Wufang laughed heartily, then clasped his hands together and bowed towards the sky, saying, "Praise be to [Destiny]! Indeed, He has always been watching over us."

This statement seemed perfectly reasonable, but when Cheng Shi heard it, although the smile on his face did not disappear, his heart skipped a beat.

Something's not right, that uneasy feeling is back.

He clearly remembered that during their second meeting and discussion at the hotel, this Investigator had personally stated that he did not believe in fate. How come he was now willing to shout praises of "Destiny"?

Do you also have flexible bottom lines like me?

No, that's not right. Li Wufang... he has changed, but it seems like he's changed back.

Cheng Shi frowned, recalling the scene when they first met at the beginning of the Trials. Before leaving, the other person had asked the Blind Man for a divination about the Trials; at that time, he seemed to desperately need guidance from "Destiny."

So, the Investigator must have always believed in fate, so why didn't the Master of Deception tell him that he was lying during their second meeting?

Did he also have methods to deceive Master of Deception?

Or was he just making a casual joke, and I was overthinking it?

Something's not right, something's really not right. When there are too many anomalies in a Trials, Cheng Shi instinctively becomes alert. He begins to recall everything that happened that day, constantly dissecting the details, trying to find some clues in these Memory to wake himself up and see if he has unknowingly stepped into some trap.

But after thinking it over, apart from the inconsistency between the words and actions of a few players, there doesn't seem to be anything that can attract attention.

Inconsistent words and actions... Why would someone's words and actions be inconsistent...?

The room gradually An Jing down as Cheng Shi fell silent. He glanced at everyone in the room, then casually looked at the watch in his hand, only to realize that the next hour was about to arrive.

He was startled and instinctively thrust the Scalpel in his hand towards the Investigator. Li Wufang, seeing this, was taken aback and immediately pinched the tip of Cheng Shi's scalpel between his fingers. A look of astonishment flashed in his eyes, followed by a helpless sigh:

"No way, boss, you're even guarding against me?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Cheng Shi was shocked, and his mind was filled with thunderous applause!

What... is he saying?!?
