Cheng Shi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, while Hong Lin next to him had a smile on his face.

He took two deep breaths to suppress his impatience and asked again:

"You turned Zuo Qiu into a puppet, but you can still use his innate abilities?"

This question finally hit the point, and even Hong Lin became serious and continued:

"The Silent Assassin has this kind of talent? Why haven't I heard that kid Chen Shu mention it before?"

who?

statement?

Cheng Shi was stunned, turned to look at Hong Lin, and said in a daze: "Who did you just talk about? Chen Shu?"

Hong Lin blinked and nodded, "Well, what, you've seen him before? You wouldn't have cheated him too, right?"

Cheng Shi shook his head: "I have heard this name from other people, but that should be someone who lied about his name."

"Well, that's normal. This kid is only slightly better than Zhen Yi, and he also has enemies everywhere. If he has a title, he would probably be given the second most unlucky one."

"......"

The second bad luck is okay...

Cheng Shi thought thoughtfully: "So, he is the chosen one of Silence?"

"Yes, an ascetic who is poorer than you!"

"???" Cheng Shi was stunned. "What do you mean poorer than me? He is a believer in Silence, how can he be poorer than me? Can he speak?"

Hong Lin sneered: "It seems that you also know that you are poor."

"......"

No, sister, can we communicate now? Isn’t this my main point?

While Cheng Shi and Hong Lin were talking, Master Yanou spoke again. Zuoqiu Yanou said slowly:

"Yes, I have this talent, but this talent is different from what you imagine. It cannot last for too long, so in order to maintain my combat effectiveness, I should keep making new puppets."

It’s not a lie!

Cheng Shi frowned slightly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since a puppeteer who can lie has told the truth, it means there should be no problem for the time being, but he still wants to be safe, so he frowned and said solemnly:

"Master Yan, one last question. If you answer this question, our deal will be done.

But I have to remind you, you'd better not lie, this is your only chance.

Because I do, Master of Deception!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there were flashes of light in the eyes of Yanxiu Shi and Honglin, and they all looked at him with scrutiny!

But Cheng Shi never speaks nonsense without preparation. He immediately takes out a playing card and sticks it on his head mysteriously, smiling playfully:

"This is a 'Master of Deception' playing card, given to me by a magician friend. I rarely use it because, although I am not a believer in [deception], I do know a little about deceiving people... so I can roughly tell if someone is lying.

But you are too special. Your behavior seems logical, but it always gives me a feeling of unease, so I have to use this backup plan that I never use to verify your identity.

Now, please tell me that you are a member of the Chongshen Society who has no ill will towards me and Honglin, and you are a puppeteer who wants to go to the Tomb of the Dead Blood to find [Decay]!

This time, I want all your puppets to speak at the same time."

After saying this, Cheng Shi looked at the puppet master and the puppets' mouths with a burning gaze.

Hong Lin was somewhat surprised by Cheng Shi's excessive caution, but her focus was obviously not on the puppet master. She looked quite strange and asked Cheng Shi in a rather playful tone:

"Not everyone can get the Master of Deception card. It requires a magician to use all means to deceive a con man who has the Master of Deception card to get it!

I seem to have only seen one person who could trick the 'Master of Deception' into a card. Your magician friend...could it be her?"

Cheng Shi didn't know who the "she" Hong Lin was talking about was, but no matter who she was, she couldn't and shouldn't be his friend. He wanted to strangle the bald head's question and stop her from making any more guesses.

So he shook his head expressionlessly.

Seeing that he denied it, Honglin raised her eyebrows and remained silent.

Instead, several puppets showed a look of deep thought, and then said in a slightly weird voice:

"Yes, what you said is correct."

The truth!

The master of deception told Cheng Shi that this puppet master who could tell lies was telling the truth.

After hearing the truth, Cheng Shi finally felt relieved.

Once bitten, you'll be afraid of the rope for ten years. Being a liar is really tiring...

But Cheng Shi did not respond. He just silently took off the poker card on his forehead and put it back into the space, and then said again:

"We can let you go, but the divinity of [Prosperity] alone is not enough. We need the item that reads [Memory] as well."

"......" Zuoqiu Yan'ou's lips moved for a moment and he sighed, "You are too greedy. Even I can't afford this price."

“Why can’t you bear it? Whether you can come back alive is another matter. Rather than losing this precious thing in the Forest of Sighs, you might as well give it to me.

Or how about this, you lend it to me first, and if you are not dead, I will return it to you the next time we meet, how about that? "

Cheng Shi gave sincere advice, but this advice silenced all the believers of "Silence".

"......"

Zuoqiu Yanou's eyes turned into one of contempt.

Do you believe this?

The abacus is beating too loudly.

Honglin started to laugh when she heard this. She crossed her arms and watched the show. Her eyes quickly jumped from one person to another. She thought this transaction was really interesting.
