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 ...
Cheng Shi walked very quickly. Soon, the two of them passed a large area of shacks with uneven buildings and women standing in front of the doors and came to a huge and simple earthen house. His eyelids twitched as he looked at the so-called prison cell in front of him with an open door, a damaged roof, and one wall even half collapsed. He was very upset.
If this can be considered a prison, then the prisoners inside must be of very high quality, otherwise why wouldn't they run away?
Seeing this, the blind man smiled and said:
"The Falling Gate is entangled with many forces, most of whom are fighting for the resources in the underground and surface connections, so unless it is necessary, they generally will not waste resources to support some 'idlers'.
Most of the prisoners here will be sent to the mines to do hard labor, and only those who affect the mining efficiency but are still useful will be temporarily detained in certain prisons.
Most of the prisoners will not leave easily in order to beg for a living. They will always have to make a living in this place. As long as they can survive until the end of their sentence, they can always go back to do their job.
So today we are lucky, and this...prison obviously has a few lucky people in it."
Of course Cheng Shi knew that there were several brothers imprisoned inside, but his expression still became a little strange after hearing this.
He always felt that the blind man was teasing him, but the problem was that there was nothing wrong with what he said, it was just that the tone was a little off, so he stopped and didn't rush in. Instead, he turned around and looked at the blind man, and asked curiously:
"You know so much about this place. Did the person from the historical school tell you that?"
The blind man was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Yes, Xinxin runs the historical school very well."
"......"
Listen, a [Fraud] believer is running an organization that excavates the memories of the Island of Hope very well.
It seems that I am not the only blasphemer in this game!
There were no guards outside the earthen prison, but there were indeed several "prisoners" imprisoned inside. When Cheng Shi cautiously pushed open the door and walked in, the first thing that caught his eye was seven or eight drunken men lying on the ground.
The ground was a mess, with wine barrels and food residues scattered everywhere. The fishy smell and the smell of alcohol hit him in the face, and the impact of the smell made Cheng Shi shudder.
No, buddy, how can an open-air house smell so bad? Are you drinking alcohol or drinking urine?
He covered his mouth and nose helplessly and looked around. After scanning the huge earthen house twice, he found that except for the drunken men in front of him, there was no one else in the prison.
At this time, the blind man also followed in. Seeing the chaos at the scene, she frowned and approached Cheng Shi, holding her nose and said in a muffled voice:
"It's time for the fate weaver to use his skills. Give them a spell to awaken the spirit, Cheng Shi."
?
The corner of Cheng Shi's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, what does the matter of the destiny weaver have to do with me, the warrior today.
I came in wearing a warrior vest, so I don't have the skills of a priest at the moment.
However, if it is used simply to wake up the mind, it is not necessary to use magic spells, physical awakening is also effective.
So Cheng Shi smiled, and a scalpel flew out of his sleeve, and with a "whoosh" sound, he stabbed the thigh of the drunk man closest to him.
The big man woke up suddenly with a startled feeling of pain, and before he could get up he hugged his thigh and wailed. He kept rolling around, pressing the mess under him like a mill wheel, and soon a stronger smell began to spread.
Cheng Shi's face changed slightly, and he took a step back away from the scene. The blind man stared at Cheng Shi's actions in amazement and was unable to recover for a long time.
"you......"
"Huh? Weird, you just can't see it, but can't you smell it? Don't you think it stinks?"
"......"
For a moment, the blind girl was in a trance. If it weren't for the fact that her "vision" was different from that of ordinary people and she could clearly see that the person in front of her was Cheng Shi, she would have thought that this teammate was a fellow brother chosen by a certain Chen.
"You'll only reduce the efficiency of our information collection by doing this, Cheng Shi."
The blind man sighed helplessly, took out a small bottle of potion from the space and threw it on the rolling man. The potion exploded on the man's body, instantly healing his injuries and making him wake up.
He stopped wailing, stared at the woman wrapped in black cloth in front of him with a pair of confused eyes, then looked at the man with a playful look on his face in the distance, and blinked in confusion.
"Who are...you?"
"I'm just a passerby. I saw you got stabbed, so I came in to save your life." Cheng Shi replied with a thick face, "You're welcome. This is what I should do as a fire bearer."
"?" The big man with confused memories became even more confused. Who was the person who passed the fire?
He scratched his head, frowned and asked in confusion: "What are you doing here?"
The blind woman looked rather helpless. Just as she was about to ask a serious question, Cheng Shi interrupted her and said, "We are freelance writers, and we are here to find some news material. Has anything strange happened in the town recently?"
After hearing this, the big man was stunned for a few seconds, and seemed to remember his identity and what had just happened. His face suddenly darkened, and he sat up abruptly, looking at Cheng Shi and the blind man unfriendly, and said in annoyance:
"What? Are you here to laugh at us?
Go play somewhere else, being locked up here is depressing enough, how can I have time to play with you guys......"
Before he could finish his words, a shiny scalpel brushed past the edge of his trousers and stabbed into the ground between his legs.
The big man shuddered and immediately changed his tone, "What I have the most is time. What do you want to know?"
