Cheng Shi was still leading the way. The two of them came to the stairs one after the other and walked down with serious expressions on their faces.

Just when they were halfway up the spiral staircase, they saw a bloody figure knocking over a shelf of files and struggling weakly on the ground.

The two men looked at each other and recognized who the injured person was.

Scorpio, the assassin of the future!

And they also guessed who hurt him, because the little assassin's body was almost covered with residual power of [Annihilation].

But even though there was a seriously injured person dying downstairs, Cheng Shi did not rush down immediately, but walked while paying attention to his surroundings. Zhang Jizu followed behind him and raised his hand slightly, first casting a healing spell to save the little assassin's life.

After the two men confirmed that there was no danger around, they slowly approached Scorpio and helped the poor teammate, whose right shoulder was pierced and whose flesh was festering all over, up from the ground.

Scorpio's face was extremely pale. He looked at his two teammates who rescued him and a gleam of gratitude flashed in his eyes, but he opened his mouth for a long time but could not utter a single syllable.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Jizu raised his hand again and cast out a purification spell. The light of this purification spell was somewhat different from the ordinary purification spell, but Cheng Shi did not recognize what kind of talent it was for a while.

He could only tell that the purification technique was effective, because the moment the light faded, Scorpio immediately cried out.

"Be careful with Mo Shu! There's something wrong with him!"

Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows. Although he was facing Scorpio, his eyes were always darting around.

"Why did he attack you?"

"have no idea."

"?"

The two looked at Scorpio in astonishment, and saw him continue to speak with a gloomy face:

“I really don’t know.

I was the first to step into the courtyard of the court and stood in the shadow of the wall waiting for you. The chief jumped down beside me and we looked at each other and were alert to our surroundings.

Mo Shu appeared beside us right after. He approached us without any signs of abnormality, then suddenly attacked us for no reason and punched through my right shoulder! "

After hearing this, Cheng Shi frowned and was a little confused.

Logically speaking, assassins have always been the most vigilant profession, especially since it was the first day of the trial and the guys had just met each other. How could Scorpio not be on guard against his own back?

Scorpio obviously saw Cheng Shi's doubts, and his face turned even darker as he said:

“He’s very strong, much stronger than I expected.

To be frank, before I was rescued by the two of you, I didn't trust anyone in this trial. I'm an assassin living in the corner of [time] and it's hard for me to trust others, so I've always been wary of you all."

Cheng Shi looked at Scorpio with a half-smile: "Even now?"

Scorpio's tone stagnated, and he nodded stiffly: "Yes, even now."

In fact, Cheng Shi and Zhang Jizu had already noticed that Tianxie was alert. His right shoulder was obviously injured, but his left hand never covered the wound. Instead, he was put behind his back and was pulled up by the two in an awkward posture.

He was defending against two people, but he should have defended, after all, he had his shoulder bone broken by a seemingly harmless pastry chef not long ago.

"Don't waste time, keep talking, and speak quickly."

Zhang Jizu was a very pragmatic person. While treating Scorpio, he urged him to explain the whole story.

“That’s why I said Mo Shu is a very strong person. I have never come across a scavenger who can annihilate his own killing intent in this segment.

Most of the [Annihilation] believers I encountered had very powerful [Annihilation] methods, but due to my personal talent, I could sense their desire for destruction and ruin, and thus could carefully avoid them.

But this guy was different, he had all the characteristics of a living person, but he lacked the desire to destroy, so when I sensed him approaching with 'no ill intentions', I didn't think much about it.

But I didn’t expect…”

"But I didn't expect him to suddenly attack you and Gou Feng. You were suddenly injured and fled directly to the future in the deduction, while Gou Feng was chased and fled into the inner hall."

The subsequent process was not difficult to guess through the scene, so Scorpio nodded and confirmed Cheng Shi’s speculation.

"This is my automatic defense mechanism. You should know that an assassin only has one chance to escape into the simulation every day. As an assassin, unless there is a target that must be killed, I will definitely save this opportunity until the last moment to protect myself just in case.

But I didn’t expect that today’s ‘what if’ would happen so suddenly.”

Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"So, you have no backup plan now?"

Scorpio was stunned, then took a half step back in fear. Even Zhang Jizu looked at Cheng Shi in surprise, thinking that he was planning to kill someone and rob.

But who knew that after Cheng Shi finished saying this, he laughed twice in a mean way, spread his hands and pretended nothing happened:

"Adjust the atmosphere and don't be nervous."

"......"

Scorpio almost cried. How can you adjust the atmosphere? I was not nervous at all at first, but now my legs are so weak.

"Since you have deduced the future of this place, tell me what you saw?"

Scorpio looked at Cheng Shi for a while, then stepped slightly closer to Zhang Jizu, and then shook his head and said:

“I saw nothing. The [Annihilation] power in Mo Shu’s attack was too terrifying. I used all the means to resist the damage. After thirty-one deductions, I barely resisted the [Annihilation] power that was corroding my whole body in the last one. I survived and overwrote this deduction in the present.

During this time, I couldn't pay attention to what was around me, but I was sure that there was no one here, at least on the first floor.
