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 28 Banquet Murder

"Feel it, the blood is still warm. He just died, and I have been with you the whole time. How could I have the time to kill him?"

"But he died in the room you arranged. You caused all this!!"

"I..." The man sighed heavily and explained, "Okay, even if I kill him, isn't that good? If he dies, there will be no obstacles between us."

"He can die, but not now! You ruined everything!"

"What do you mean everything? Dilar, are you hiding something from me again? You've changed recently, becoming much more unfamiliar to me. Have you... fallen in love with someone again?"

"No!"

The woman gnashed her teeth, but she did not explain anything. Instead, she said anxiously:

"The party is about to begin. Once everyone knows he's dead, we're done for!"

"Finished? You are the Duchess, the victim, and I am the Duke's nephew who has no inheritance rights. I am an ordinary guard. At most, I will be charged with a crime of poor guarding. How can we be finished?"

"...I... am too anxious. He can't just die like this. The bill issue is not over yet, and the citizens of the territory will protest..."

"Dilar, this is the Duke's concern, you are just the Duchess!"

"But he's dead! Dead!"

The Duchess tried hard to suppress her roar, but she still sounded a little hysterical, as if the Duke's death was a heavy blow to her.

"So what if he's dead? You have the right to inherit all his property. Isn't that enough? Brooks's property is enough for us to squander for several lifetimes."

"No... You don't understand. I can inherit the property, but I can't inherit his title. In this way, Brooks's administrative power will be returned to the royal court..."

"What? You still want to be a duchess?"

"No! I'm only here for the...citizens of this town!"

"Dilar, you have really changed. Why do you care about those peasants?"

"You don't understand! Listen, you stay here and don't let anyone in. I'll find a way! We must ensure that the news of his death does not spread out!"

After that, the sound of footsteps was heard in the room, and the Duchess walked out anxiously.

Hearing this, Cheng Shi and Bai Ling looked at each other in the small space and breathed a sigh of relief.

If this "ordinary guard" wants to guard the room, the next step should be to go out and guard outside. In this way, the two of them will have a chance to escape from here first.

But surprisingly, the next second after the Duchess slammed the door, the man who called himself an "ordinary guard" turned his head and looked at the wardrobe with a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry to have let you hear such a farce, but it's okay, it will be over soon."

He clapped his hands and smiled appreciatively:

"Thank you for killing Brooks. Although I also made arrangements, they were obviously not as clean and neat as yours. I have to say that your concealment ability is also very good. It's a pity that you ran into me."

"Come out, since you helped me with a small favor, I can give you a quick death."

Cheng Shi and Bailing looked at each other again, and their hearts skipped a beat.

Discovered.

"What should we do?" Bai Ling asked silently.

Cheng Shi thought for a moment and said in the same way: "Can you fight?"

Bailing shook her head, but when she thought that Cheng Shi was just a pastor, she nodded and wrote a number on Cheng Shi's leg with her finger.

"1321."

Cheng Shi immediately understood that this was her ladder score.

It’s indeed too low.

Those who can still be in this segment half a year after the advent of [Game of Faith] are either surviving by relying on single-player dungeons, or have muddled their way through.

Bailing obviously doesn't look like either of them. Cheng Shi really can't understand why she got such a low score.

Is it that I fail every time, but I survive every time?

This is harder than getting high scores every time!

But after all, she is also a hunter, and her offensiveness is better than that of a priest herself.

"Don't panic, just kill him!"

Cheng Shi spoke again silently, then patted Bailing's shoulder gently, signaling to her that he was about to push the door.

Bailing was stunned, then understood what he meant and began to count silently in her heart.

“3.”

“2.”

“1!”

“Bang!”

Two people pushed the door open at the same time. Bailing summoned his longbow at the first moment and activated his sensory hunting talent at the same time, piercing straight into the opponent's sea of ​​desire in an attempt to interfere with his actions.

Cheng Shi rolled on the ground for a few times, and the healing spell in his hand hit the two people in advance, leaving enough room for healing.

However, when they broke through the door, they found that the ferocious guard who had just shouted was now standing at the head of the bed, grinning at them from a distance.

The sensory pursuit seemed to have hit a solid wall and was firmly blocked.

"Shit, he has telepathic defense skills!"

"Oh? So you are the servants of [Defilement]? Very good, your killing method is too clean, leaving no trace. I was still worrying about how to divert the disaster to the refugees. This is perfect."

Although he was speaking, his expression was very cautious. He kept looking at Cheng Shi and the other man, and said with a chuckle:

"In order to oppose the Duke's bill, the [Foul] believers among the refugees sneaked into the Duke's mansion and assassinated him on the eve of the bill's announcement. What a reasonable explanation! Now, my suspicion is completely cleared. I really want to thank you very much."

Cheng Shi's sharp eyes kept looking around at the space and his whole body, and soon he saw a familiar object in the guard's hand.
