I have two principles as a human being:
1. Never lie.
2. Never believe anything anyone says, including myself.
“Sir, I must point out that your second principle contradicts the ...
"Cheng Shi, I know you."
While Cheng Shi was still glancing at Ji Yue out of the corner of his eye, Ji Yue took the initiative to greet him.
This greeting made Cheng Shi's heart skip a beat. He thought the other party had recovered his memory, but he never expected the other party's next sentence to be:
"The great hero who thwarted the 0221 experiment and rescued countless players!"
“…”
Cheng Shi's face froze, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, although it was a bit embarrassing to be praised, at least it seemed that the other party didn't remember me.
He turned to look at Ji Yue, looked at her dazzling silver hair, and said with a smile:
"I don't dare to call myself a hero. I just happened to be in a desperate situation and had to fight for myself and my friends."
Hearing this humble remark, Ji Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at Cheng Shi with admiration:
"A gentleman is judged by deeds, not by heart. You saved people, and that's a fact. You deserve to be called a hero.
My friend also suffered a lot in that experiment. In a sense, you can be considered his benefactor.
I want to thank you for him.”
"?"
The more Cheng Shi listened, the more strange it seemed. He felt that Ji Yue must have a purpose in approaching him, but the other party did not seem to be hostile. For a moment, he could not figure out what this knowledgeable scholar was thinking, and could only respond with a fake smile.
"You're welcome. Fate favored him. I told you, I only asked to live for selfish reasons."
"For friends, well, it must be nice to be your friend."
Ji Yue looked Cheng Shi up and down with interest. Seeing Cheng Shi lift his heels slightly, as if he wanted to leave, he hesitated for a moment and immediately turned the casual chat back to the trial itself.
"Although there are no clues to the Trial of Stupidity, there are also traces.
Our identity is most likely the key to breaking the deadlock, so the crime that happened yesterday is very likely the only clue.
Unfortunately, we don't seem to have inherited the prisoner's memories. Fate Weaver, do you have any suggestions?"
Cheng Shi frowned slightly, wondering if Ji Yue was looking for someone to team up with to pass the trial just because he saw that his performance was relatively stable?
It's not impossible, but the other party obviously entered the trial with a firm goal, which is too different from his own purpose of exploring the way. There is no benefit in rashly forming a team.
In addition, there are external enemies surrounding this trial. Without knowing Ji Yue's current position, Cheng Shi couldn't feel safe getting too close to a teammate who took the initiative to approach him.
Even if this teammate was once his teammate.
So, to be on the safe side, Cheng Shi recalled Ji Yue's previous behavior while formulating his words to refuse:
“You should have heard about my identity.
Since I'm a believer in Fraud, I naturally don't have any suggestions on finding memories.
If your purpose in coming to me is to win this trial, I think you've come to the wrong person.
I was just bored in the rest area, so I just found a place to travel and relax. I wasn't interested in whether I passed the trial or not.
Of course, with the scholar's vast knowledge and understanding of the opponent's family, I believe that even without help, you can find your own answer, right? "
Cheng Shi smiled, waved goodbye and said, "I'll just go for a walk, you can do whatever you want."
Having said that, he raised his leg to leave.
But the next second, Ji Yue reached out her hand to stop him with a half-smile, staring into his eyes and saying word by word:
“If I remember correctly, this is the first time we meet, Fate Weaver.
Since this is our first meeting, how did you know that I am a believer in the Truth?
My grades and reputation don’t seem to be high enough to be known to everyone.”
“!!!”
Oh no, I kept thinking about our previous encounter and unconsciously put myself into the previous perspective!
Cheng Shi's heart tightened, but he showed no panic at all.
For a liar, being exposed on the spot is just a small matter. Besides, as long as I can still argue back, whether I am exposed or not is another matter.
His eyes moved slightly, and he immediately explained:
"If at this level I still need to know my teammates in advance to see their identities, then wouldn't all those points have been wasted?
You can only be a believer in the Truth!
The only ones who can directly understand the truth of something after seeing it are [truth] and [foolishness], but [foolishness] never shares. So, from the moment you told me that it was 'wind', your thinking logic has given me an identity.
Do you still want to stop me, scholar?
This is not the Tower of Reason and Quality. Even if you want to check your ticket for the scenic spot, you have to be a [Foolish] believer to come.
As a believer in the Truth, you'd better keep a low profile on the enemy's territory."
As he spoke, Cheng Shi casually knocked Ji Yue's arm away, and strode past her with a smile on his face.
Ji Yue frowned slightly, but agreed with Cheng Shi's explanation.
Although she has renounced her vows, the blessing of the Truth remains, and she also retains the way of thinking of a believer of the Truth, so it is normal for others to see this.
But why do I always feel that this person has an indescribable sense of familiarity?
Was it the other party's tactics? Or was it a subtle attraction of kindness? Or was it the mysterious feeling of destiny, like the flame of hope?
She was not sure, so she turned her head to look in the direction where Cheng Shi disappeared and fell into deep thought.
Cheng Shi could feel that Ji Yue had become suspicious of him, so he took two quick steps, and when passing the intersection, he immediately turned around and blended into the crowd in the alley, speeding up his movement until he was far away from the center of the town, then he slowly began to collect information again.
Apart from the unfriendly people, the urban construction in Rediker is quite good.
Every blade of grass, every tree, every wall and every road here exudes an almost ultimate refinement.
