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 237 Crazy liar, or just a complete lunatic?

The patient got out of bed.

Under Serius' extremely shocked eyes, Cheng Shi simply mustered up his strength to break the straps on his body, then stood up and jumped off the bed with ease.

He snatched the concentric dagger from Serius's hand, and flexibly controlled the dagger to fly up and down between his fingers. While fiddling with the dagger, he controlled the experimental screen that originally belonged to Serius, as if he also wanted to see the experimental data generated on himself.

Serius looked at Cheng Shi in disbelief, and then frowned tightly.

There was no fear in his eyes, but confusion.

He was wondering how this experimental subject got rid of the influence of various drugs and woke up, why there was no fear in his eyes, and he even knew his own name clearly!

"Who are you?"

"Me? You forgot so quickly. Am I not the experimental material No. 11...1172 that you mentioned?"

Cheng Shi's eyes lingered on the screen for a moment, not quite understanding it. He begged his brother for help for a long time but got no response, so he had to give up collecting his own data and looked at the scholar next to him again.

Feeling the aggressive gazes looking at him, Serius asked in surprise, "Aren't you a captured prisoner of the Death Fight?"

"Death Combat Prisoner?

Yes, I am a death row prisoner. I was one before and just now, but only at this moment, perhaps I am no longer one.

Your expression seems shocked. Why? Is it rare to see an experimental subject out of control? Well, congratulations, you saw one today.

There is no need to guess my identity. I have no connection with any force or anyone. I was just sent here by the knights of the Grand Inquisition by chance.

And now, I'm ready to go out.

Mr. Serius, do you still want to leave this cage of Order? If so, I think we still have a chance to cooperate.

But before we cooperate, you have to tell me the truth about what I just went through.”

Serius pondered for a moment and looked at Cheng Shi with a strange look, as if he was thinking in the wrong direction:

"So that sir also had his miscalculations. Why didn't the judges of Montelani take this into consideration when they imprisoned you? Why didn't they use the power of [Order] to restrain your abilities..."

?

Do you think I'm Kühnlauer's enemy?

That’s good too. This way, the foundation for cooperation will be more solid.

Cheng Shi smiled, and in order not to trigger the Honest Clown, he replied vaguely:

"Maybe it's fate's favor."

He didn't lie. Being able to survive that memory was indeed a blessing from fate.

But these words had another meaning to Serius. He nodded and began to look squarely at the out-of-control experimental subject in front of him.

"I have never heard of you, how did you know about me, and..."

"Do you want to escape from here?" Cheng Shi kindly continued what Serius was reluctant to say.

"Yes." Serius looked cautious.

"Scholar, you are a smart man. Think about it, how can I, a poor guy who was forcibly captured from outside the laboratory, know the 'secrets' of a reclusive scholar?

So, someone must have told me, and guess who it was?"

Cheng Shi did not intend to communicate with the other party with a bunch of lies. The most urgent thing was to figure out what had just happened, what was going on in the trial in which he had killed all his teammates, no, it should be said that he had killed all of "himself", and now, which scene of the trial script had come to him.

So he chose to let Serius deceive himself.

As we all know, smart people like to think a lot, and the more they think, the more mistakes they make, and the more mistakes they make, the more loopholes there are in their thinking logic for them to exploit.

Wise people are often defeated by worrying too much.

Serius frowned and thought for a long time, until he had thought of all the possibilities. Then he suddenly looked up in surprise and said uncertainly:

"Galusha? Were you sent by Galusha?"

"Correct!" Cheng Shi snapped his fingers happily and touched his nose. "I had a little disagreement with the Grand Court of Inquisition, and was discovered by that little girl when I entered the city. She happened to need a helper who was not so close, so she secretly sent me in.

I don't know what the relationship is between that little girl named Galausa and you, the scholar. I only know that I am here to help, not to suffer.

So, explain my experience clearly, and after confirming that there is nothing wrong with my body, I will fulfill my promise and help you leave here."

Cheng Shi's hands were constantly moving, either twirling a dagger or snapping his fingers, trying to cover up the act of secretly touching his nose, just like a patient with ADHD.

There was a flash of doubt in Serius' eyes. He did not quite believe what Cheng Shi said, because his relationship with Galausa was not a secret among those who knew the situation in this laboratory.

But he still decided to cooperate with Cheng Shi, not because he had a strong desire to share, but because it would be difficult for him to wait for a "clear" outsider.

He felt that what the other party said was right. No matter what purpose the other party had in coming here, his only request was to die, so he was not afraid of the other party's ulterior motives.

Instead, they are afraid that the other party has no plans, because in this case they will lose their bargaining chips and become prisoners trapped in the cage of [order].

"There is no change in your body, and all the data are normal."

Serius decided to "cooperate" and began to explain to Cheng Shi everything that had just happened. He pushed the screen over and pointed at the data on the screen and said:
