"Lady Lydeara, I would like to ask, having been in high positions for so long, have you forgotten what blasphemy is?

Even if you have doubts about your benefactor, you shouldn't point them out to his face. With your power and status, you should have the means to form alliances and gather all the strength you can to slowly overthrow him, oh no, correct him.

Why not choose to be more conservative? "

Cheng Shi was actually right, but Lydia's eyes moved slightly, and she denied him in an extremely complicated tone:

“Because Laques is…the Grand Justice!

If even the great justice officials cannot uphold justice in an open and aboveboard manner, how can [order] be order? "

"......"

Cheng Shi was silent. What a simple and plain reason.

At this moment, there was an inexplicable hint of respect in his eyes when he looked at the old man in the middle.

but......

Oh, it's really absurd that the most devout and most respected believer of [Order] is now imprisoned in the most secure and most desperate [Order] prison.

"What about you?" Cheng Shi asked again, "Lady Lydeala, as the chief investigator, were you imprisoned here because you agreed with Lord Laques's opinion at the scene, or because you chose to investigate quietly after he was imprisoned?

I'm guessing it's the latter, and you checked it out, right?

You found out that what the Grand Justice said was the truth, and discovered that your benefactor who bestowed the [Iron Law of Order] on the Grand Inquisition no longer had order, right?

Unfortunately, your little trick was discovered, so you ended up here, and became a 'roommate' with this poor justice. "

Lydia pursed her lips in self-mockery: "Who...are you? You are not a believer of my Lord."

"You are truly pious. Even though you have fallen into this state, you can still call Him Lord." Cheng Shi clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I am indeed not a believer in Him, but I like order. Or rather, when I cannot make order, I can only like order.

So you can rest assured that at least in the process of ‘correcting’ order, we are still fellow travelers.”

Lydia looked at Cheng Shi twice and nodded.

Cheng Shi was stunned and said with a smile: "Do you believe me?"

"You are not here to correct the 'order', you have other intentions.

But I can see that what you want to do does not conflict with us, so I think you can trust it. "

sharp!

He is worthy of being the Chief Investigator who is most knowledgeable about evidence collection and interrogation in the Grand Court. He can see through a person's purpose with just a few words.

"Very good, anyway, trust is the basis of cooperation.

Since Lady Lydala also wants to cooperate, why not tell me what you know first? After I verify everything we know, perhaps we can come to some interesting conclusions.

These conclusions will be an important reference for guiding our next actions.”

Cheng Shi said these words earnestly and persuasively. The chief investigator raised his eyes and looked at him. He did not refuse, but did not respond directly. Instead, he said weakly:

"First, let me tell you what your so-called Spark of Order is."

Oh? Are you starting to negotiate terms?

Cheng Shi smiled, and smiled happily.

As long as the other party is willing to negotiate terms, it means that the subsequent dialogue will go much more smoothly, because in this intelligence exchange game, Cheng Shi has too many chips in his hand.

There was no need for him to be responsible for a person who had long disappeared in history, even if the other party was a devout believer in "Order" and was generally recognized as a good person. But the good person was dead, dead in the past.

Therefore, he doesn't even need to use real chips. He can use some virtual chips that are full of "fraud" to exchange for enough real explosive information from the other party.

Because he has a master of deception!

Cheng Shi spoke, and the first thing he said was a lie without any disguise.

"Your path to Order has not been cut off.

Perhaps in your eyes, [Order] has deviated from its own will, like an old man staggering away from his own path, but all this is an illusion.

Although I am not talented, I am best at exploring the essence of things among various illusions.

I have good news for you. That is, the "Order" that you see protecting the Grand Inquisition but has problems is not actually your benefactor.

Don't be surprised, this means that [Order] is still there, and perhaps He has not yet deviated from His own will.

But there is also bad news. You know, good and bad always go hand in hand.

And the bad news is that the real [Order]... is trapped.

Like the three of you, I am trapped in a place that outsiders cannot reach."

"!!!"

As soon as the words fell, a terrifying light burst out from Lydia's eyes. She seemed to have regained her strength. She raised her head suddenly, staring at Cheng Shi with a pair of raptor-like eyes, and said word by word:

"What you said, is it true!?"

"certainly......"

Cheng Shi smiled and nodded, but added in his heart:

...is fake.

Yes, Cheng Shi was lying, he had no idea what the [order] was like.

He only knew that [Iron Law of Order] had usurped the throne of [Order], and an existence called [Order (Fear)] had replaced [Order] in the trial.

As for where the real [Order] has gone...

Who knows?

Perhaps He was trapped. If He had not been imprisoned, why would He abandon His believers?
