Foolish Game of the Gods

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 ...

Chapter 235: Are You Brave?

If the best way to escape from the prison before the collapse is to disguise yourself as a Punishment Knight, then the safest way after the explosion is to pretend to be a corpse.

Too many people died in this disaster, and the corpses piled up like a mountain. The most normal and easiest way would be to become a corpse and join them.

This is what the trickster thought, so he imitated a corpse and deceived the knights who were digging the ground hard.

But his luck seemed to be a little bad. Just when he finally managed to be dug out and thrown into the pile of corpses, Cheng Shi arrived.

And it was neither too early nor too late, just in time to see him being dragged out of the pit.

So, Cheng Shi, who was overjoyed, decided to write a play, an improvisational play, for this master of tricks who once claimed to be a screenwriter.

"Please don't let me down, Nicholas Zhao Si."

He did not expose his teammate directly, but looked around for something, and soon he found... a mouse.

Lots of rats.

There were many rats after the disaster. Even though the collapsed prison killed countless rats, there were still some lucky ones who survived.

As the saying goes, those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future, so a few mice that would have good fortune in the future were "fortunate" enough to fall into Cheng Shi's hands.

He secretly took out a deck of ordinary playing cards from his personal space, used glue to secretly stick the cards on the mouse's belly, squeezed some stimulating potions into the mouse's mouth and nose to make it become manic, and then threw these "transformed" mice towards the pile of corpses.

The rats in the prison are extremely omnivorous. They like to eat meat and also like to eat dead human flesh. After suffering "inhuman" torture, they urgently need a full meal to relieve their discomfort, so a group of rats with red eyes instantly scattered following the smell.

This scene might not be considered unusual in the eyes of the nearby city guards, but in Zhao Si's eyes...

It's fatal.

Like Cheng Shi, he had long seen through the fact that this was a [fraudulent] civil war, so when he saw a group of red-eyed rats approaching, the first person he thought of was the missing hunter, Su Wu!

He must be a beast tamer, and he's not dead yet!

So are these rats his means? What does he want to do?

No, wait...why is there a poker card stuck on the mouse's belly?

The magician? The magician is still alive? And he's teamed up with the animal tamer?

Could it be that they knew that I was the one who detonated the explosives, so they joined forces to take revenge?

Oh no, something bad is going to happen!

Zhao Si couldn't lie still any longer, danger was approaching, and he felt that he could no longer sit there and wait to die as a pretend corpse, because no one knew what incredible actions these deceptive teammates would take!

So he took action. There were too many knights around him to allow him to take the risk, so to be on the safe side, he quietly changed his posture and activated abstract imitation to disguise himself as...

A mouse.

A giant rat.

This trick is useless against the city guards, because Zhao Si's target is these rats, and this is a trick he uses to confuse the rats in front of him!

He chose the simplest method, which was to deceive the mice into thinking that they were also part of the group of mice eating, so that they would avoid him and not bite him.

I have to say this is the method with the least risk and the most ingenious. This trickster has excellent ideas, and his reaction speed and performance are perfect. He simply brought this impromptu performance to life!

Anyone who sees it can't help but exclaim "Good!".

Even the screenwriter can't write such a perfect script!

The only pity is that there was an audience member who liked to find fault, and this audience member happened to be the "screenwriter".

After witnessing all this, Cheng Shishi forced himself to hold back his laughter and made a suggestion to his fellow knights around him.

"Too many rats cause disasters. I think we can't just keep digging up the ruins. We also need to deal with these rats roaming around properly, otherwise they will bring diseases to the city.

You see, the rats on the pile of corpses are already eating like crazy. If they continue like this, I'm afraid they will endanger the citizens living nearby.

How about...burning part of it first?

Everyone, please step back a bit, I'll set the fire!"

To be honest, Cheng Shi was not lying, he didn't even touch his nose.

He simply hid his own little thoughts in this sincere advice, solving Montrani's troubles while solving his own demands at the same time.

The knights felt that he was right, so they stepped back a few steps and left a clear space around the pile of corpses.

But it was just these few steps that made Zhao Si completely lose the buffer space with the city guards. You know, no matter what kind of [Fraud] talent it is, you always have to pursue rationality when activating it.

You can tamper with the details that no one has seen clearly, you can conceal the truth that no one can remember, and you can even fish in troubled waters and disguise yourself as another person, but the premise is that you do not create too outrageous cognitive contradictions.

[Fraud], even if it is tainted with [confusing] means obtained through stealing, its essence is still "cheating" and "deception", not confusion.

In the eyes of all the knights, there are only rats and dead prisoners on the pile of corpses. If you conjure up another knight at this time, it will not be a fraud performance, but a clown.

So, after hearing Cheng Shi's words, Zhao Si's face became extremely ugly!

How could it be such a coincidence!

Who is driving all this?

Is this knight a magician?

Or are the magicians and animal tamers among these knights, secretly watching here! ?
