Foolish Game of the Gods

I have two principles as a human being:

1. Never lie.

2. Never believe anything anyone says, including myself.

Chapter 816: Theater of Faith and Place of Piety

Cheng Shi naturally had no idea what Ai Si was thinking. He just wanted to know what the old man under his scalpel was thinking.

The lame old man was crawling on the ground, trembling all over, feeling the piercing heat of the knife tip. He used a bubble of hot urine to warm himself up as he was rapidly losing body temperature.

Seeing the snow under the old man being soaked and melted, Cheng Shi's eyes twitched. He silently retracted the knife in his hand and wiped it hard twice on Zhang Jizu who had rushed over.

Zhang Jizu was stunned, and soon his eyes narrowed into slits. Seeing that Zhang's face turned black, Cheng Shi quickly put away the scalpel and said:

"Answer my questions and I promise you can survive, but remember, you only have one chance.

What's your name, where are you from, who sent you?

If you don't say it or say it wrong, you will see this squinting King of Hell in front of you, and he will personally send you to see the honorable [Death]. "

The lame old man raised his head and felt the anger brewing in Zhang Jizu. He shuddered and wailed hurriedly:

“…I said, don’t kill me, I said!

I was sent by Wells, the leader of the South Side Scavengers, who guards the south side of the Pious Land.

Just now, many unfamiliar scavengers broke through the blockade like crazy and rushed to the outskirts of the Theater of Faith. They ran in recklessly, not afraid of the torture of the Pious Land at all, and even triggered a ghost frenzy in the theater.

Wells was furious, so he sent us out to search. If we saw any strange scavengers, we would either drive them out on the spot or notify him to send people to clean up.

They must ensure that no outsiders rush in to cause trouble before the ghost frenzy subsides.

What I said is true, don't kill me, I was discovered by you all before I even sent out the signal, really."

As he spoke, the lame old man took out a rusty signal gun, which was obviously an antique dug out from the scrap heap.

But what the three people present were concerned about was not the signal gun in his hand, but the density of information in the words of this scavenger, so dense that everyone was a little confused for a moment.

"Wait, let's take one at a time. First of all, what is Faith Theater?"

The lame old man was stunned, thinking that these people were indeed newcomers. The new scavengers were so good at fighting. Things were really going to change for Sandres. But no matter what happened, it would be the same for someone like him who had no power and no force. So he didn't dare to hide anything and told everything he knew.

"The Faith Theater is the largest building in the center of Sandales Town. It is also the place that all the old scavengers here dream of entering. It is said that there is a way to become a god directly in it, so everyone wants to go in and take a look.

But that place is too scary, and it is not so easy to get close to. The periphery of the theater is always shrouded in fog, and there is an invisible ghost patrolling in the fog. Anyone who wants to get close to the theater will be discovered by it and... executed. "

Hearing this, Cheng Shi frowned and looked at Zhang Jizu and said, "Why does it sound like your benefactor's method?"

Zhang Jizu was also a little confused, but he didn't say anything and continued to listen in silence.

"That's not just a simple death, it's the double trampling of the body and soul!" The lame old man seemed to recall some horrible experience and shuddered. "Once it finds you, it will quietly come behind you and tell everyone the biggest secret in your heart. Then, when you are extremely scared, it will..."

The old man shrank back, his eyes wandered, his voice trembled slightly, but then he roared without warning:

"With a 'snap', I'll break your neck...

Ouch! "

Before he could finish his words, the lame old man was kicked out by Cheng Shi.

He suddenly swung out a scalpel and stabbed it into the old man's head, cutting off a few strands of his hair. He cursed with a dark face:

"I asked you to explain things, not to tell me ghost stories, and yet you're still standing here getting all jumpy and emotional!

No, brother, are you really scared or are you pretending to be scared?

So you are afraid of ghosts but not people, right? "

As he spoke, Cheng Shi once again took out a scalpel.

The lame old man was frightened again. He curled up on the ground and told the rest of the story in a crackling manner like pouring beans.

After listening for a while, everyone understood.

The town's biggest secret is hidden in the Faith Theater shrouded in fog, but no one can go in because of the existence of this "ghost".

The scavengers thought of many ways, but as long as they made the slightest noise while moving forward, the ghost would directly locate the "invader" and cause the intruder to die both socially and physically.

So over the years, the scavengers' persistent exploration has only allowed them to barely see the appearance of the theater, but they have never been able to enter.

But not everyone has the patience to explore for a long time, and there are also smart people among the scavengers. So one night, two large scavenger groups in the east and north of Sandales betrayed the agreement of all scavengers to explore in an orderly manner, and jointly launched a charge towards the theater.

They felt that no matter how powerful the ghost was, it had to kill people one by one, so as long as there were enough people who deserved to die, there would always be someone who was lucky enough to rush to the front of the theater and push open the door leading to the throne when the ghost was dragged down.

Everyone thinks that they will be the lucky one, but the truth is always cold.

All the scavengers were wiped out, no one escaped.

The scavengers hiding outside spent the entire night just listening to the "gossip".

That night, too many people died, causing the fog outside the theater to boil. After that, anyone who entered would die instantly, regardless of whether they made a sound or not. This horrific phenomenon lasted for a long time before it subsided. After that, the scavengers realized that not too many people could die in the fog at the same time.
