Probing

Qin Xin couldn't understand it. He only knew that he had to seize this opportunity because he had broken out of his original world in order to find a new opportunity for that broken world!

He is searching for the "future" and seeking answers from the "past." He hopes to see hope on another timeline within the "Cencha" of time and replicate it in his own world.

This also shows that in his world, the Fire Keeper had almost run out of fire to pass on, otherwise he wouldn't have come to another world to find a new Fire Seed.

Qin Xin's goal was clear. He knew exactly what he wanted to do, so from the beginning he was observing the Blind Man and Cheng Shi. Especially in his conversation with the Blind Man, he discovered that although the Fire Keeper on the timeline where the blind Blind Man was located were not without fire to pass on, their fires were not burning fiercely. They... were not his targets.

Wang Mou would not be the target, because Qin Xin knew Wang Mou's true identity. Such a person without a sense of belonging would not provide any inspiration to the Fire Keeper.

Therefore, he only had one target at the moment, which was Li Wufang was staying in another room without moving.

Regardless, he had to meet this Investigator to see if he was the "future Cencha" he had guessed. So, shortly after leaving the house, Qin Xin strolled toward the room where Yadelik was being held.

The Hunter inside had already heard the commotion outside, so before Qin Xin even reached the door, Li Wufang thoughtfully opened it for him and warmly invited Qin Xin into the room.

Looking at the familiar face before him, Qin Xin smiled and casually said, "I think you look a lot like an old friend of mine."

"An old friend?" Li Wufang laughed, looking the heavily armored warrior up and down, raising an eyebrow. "If being in the Trials a few times counts as an old friend, then we are indeed old friends."

"No, not old friends from the Trials, but old friends from my hometown."

Li Wufang frowned almost imperceptibly upon hearing this, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes, but he quickly put on a smile again, "What, before the [Faith Game] descended, you were also from the North?"

Qin Xin, seeing Li Wufang pretending to know what he didn't, didn't continue probing. He seemed to have already figured something out and went straight to the point:

"You probably guessed it was me. I didn't expect to run into you here either. Interesting. I always knew you were in some mysterious organization, but I never imagined you were the one researching [time]. What... are you trying to find through [time]?"

Li Wufang scoffed, "That's an old-fashioned test, Qin Xin. It's exhausting listening to you say so many things I don't understand."

"Interesting, let me think about it..."

In fact, all of Qin Xin's speculations about Li Wufang's identity came from Cheng Shi's reaction. When Cheng Shi hinted that he and the Blind Man would take the first shift and "take away" Li Wufang, he felt that the two of them seemed to have something to say to each other.

Unfortunately, he knew that in his own world, the two people seemed to have a good relationship, so he kept wondering if Li Wufang was from the same place as him.

However, there is still a problem here. In Qin Xin's mind, given the Investigator's keen sense, the other party should not have misjudged Cheng Shi's identity.

Cheng Shi not on the same timeline as Li Wufang. He has no reaction to what I said, either because he hasn't noticed the Change in the time Cencha affecting the players, or because he has already seen the anomaly and, as I have tested him, has come here by taking advantage of the time discrepancy.

If it's the former, then it means Cheng Shi is a very good at disguising himself. But if it's the latter, then this matter is interesting. What exactly is Li Wufang and his organization doing?

"Never mind, I guess I mistook him for someone else." Qin Xin smiled and then pointed to Gers at his feet, asking, "Who is he?"

"A customer who sneaked in at night to assault a miner was killed because I couldn't stand it."

"?"

But the wound on his neck looks like it was made with Scalpel.

"What, can't Investigator carry a Scalpel with him?" As he spoke, Li Wufang actually pulled out a Scalpel and twirled it between his fingers Cheng Shi. At that moment, even the tone and posture of this Investigator had the air of a Clown.

"Very good. It seems that the stowaways from the Door of Falling are quite energetic. Even if they are not looking for wealth and tickets, they still want to come up the mountain to assault a rough-looking miner. Hmm, this place is very interesting, just as interesting as you and Cheng Shi."

I see your bloodlust hasn't been fully satisfied yet, so I won't bother you any longer. I'll go find a place to sleep.

With that, Qin Xin waved his hand, smiled, and turned to walk out.

However, the moment he turned around, Li Wufang, who had been smiling just moments before, suddenly turned grim. A fierce killing intent surged in his eyes, and his other hand, which was behind his back, almost reached out to take his longbow from his personal space.

It seems he really wanted to kill someone, and his target was Qin Xin, who had just turned around.

But in that split second, Qin Xin suddenly turned around and looked at Li Wufang again, a half-smile on his face, and said:

"It wasn't easy for the Fate Weaver to save Yadelik. Think carefully before you act. If he dies, would our Priest friend still be willing to save him again?"

After saying that, Qin Xin glanced at Li Wufang's arm behind his back, then turned around and went out the door. Li Wufang's expression changed several times, but in the end he failed to shoot the arrow in his hand.

He stared at Qin Xin's departing figure, his brows furrowed, and spat out a curse.

"If you weren't on the boss's whitelist, I wouldn't care what kind of Chosen of God you are."

Damn, this is so frustrating.

What are you looking at? It's so good, isn't it? I'll show you!

"???" Yadelik, who was huddled to the side and dared not utter a sound, trembled even more violently, and the stench of urine permeated the room once again.

After leaving the room, Qin Xin did not rest. Instead, he stood casually on a small mound, gazing up at the lava waterfall cascading down in the distance, his brows furrowed.

He was also pondering the reason for the "Cencha" of [Time]. Before coming here, the "makeshift method" he had learned was to blindly stumble through the [Time] Trials. Now he had indeed stumbled into the Cencha, but the problem was that none of his current teammates represented the future. He had not yet seen a single thing about the players' future in this Trials.

Therefore, the founder of this Fire Keeper couldn't help but wonder what kind of performance, when applied to players, would qualify as the future.

Before several timelines intersect and overlap due to errors in time, their states must be very similar, and at some point they may even be exactly the same. Only in this way can players who are deeply involved fall into the trap without realizing it.

However, this also presents a problem: in this Cencha "time," the past and the present are easy to understand. The past is simply the different experiences of the same players, and the present is probably just oneself. But what about the future?

How will this kind of future event, which has not yet occurred, manifest itself at a very similar point in time?

Even if the future Cencha is found, will the Fire Keeper and the answer he seeks truly be found in that future timeline?

For a moment, Qin Xin was confused.

Just then, the Blind Man arrived.
