Foolish Game of the Gods

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 ...

Chapter 823 Back to the Underground

Plott pointed out the entrance to the underground passage. The players thought it would be a mechanism like the door to a secret base, but who would have thought that it was actually a "thief hole" buried in the snow.

It was obvious that the tunnel was dug by human hands. Not only was the shape of the tunnel strange, it was also very hidden. If there was no one to lead the way, even if the three of them really came to this area, they would have to search carefully before they could find it.

Looking at the tunnel entrance that was only wide enough for one person to pass through, Cheng Shi smiled slightly and took a step back at the same time as Zhang Jizu.

The implication is obvious: they only care about following behind and not exploring the way.

Ai Si's face darkened. She had inexplicably become the vanguard, but her reaction was not too intense because she had adapted to the rhythm of her two priest teammates. Whenever you have to face the unknown, you can never think of walking behind them.

Fortunately, Ai Si is aware of the positioning of her team, so she has been practicing what she said at the beginning: knowing when to advance and retreat and knowing the limits.

And now, it's time for her to enter.

So the war supervisor raised the giant blade and was about to transform this narrow passage, but Cheng Shi grabbed her hand and stopped this overly [warlike] idea.

"The traces are too obvious and will be seen by others. I'm not sure where the two bastards who pretended to be me are, so let's go in like this. Please, Sir Superintendent, clear the way for us."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jizu also spoke. He pushed Plott forward a step and said seriously, "Let him go in front. It will be safer this way."

"?"

Plott shuddered, feeling uneasy.

Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Zhang Jizu and smiled meaningfully.

"I think putting the guide in the middle is the most stable method. This can prevent him from triggering any ambush at the front and block his retreat. Lao Zhang, I don't think you can't think of this. So, what is your purpose in letting this scavenger walk in the front?

Are you protecting this warlord?

When did your relationship become so good?

After hearing this, Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes slightly. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Ai Si rolled his eyes, put away the giant blade, and jumped into the cave.

Cheng Shi shrugged, which obviously meant "see, I don't need it", and then pushed Plot to follow.

Zhang Jizu naturally fell behind. He squinted his eyes and looked around. He quickly wiped out all traces of people outside and left a simple teleportation array before he followed with peace of mind.

The passage was very long and twisted underground for a long time before connecting to the wall of a thick underground pipe.

This was obviously not a normal road. The pipe wall, which was almost half a person's thickness, was covered with traces of corrosion and excavation. It seemed that the hole in the pipe wall had been worn out by someone over a long period of time. The four of them entered carefully one after another, and only when they returned to the underground passage did they confirm that this place was no different from where they had landed before.

There are no observation equipment or experimental space inside. There are only a lot of pipes and countless forks.

After realizing that there was something wrong with Plott's description, Cheng Shi's face darkened. But this time, before he could open his mouth to ask, Plott himself became confused.

"How could this happen? They were clearly talking about this place!"

"You haven't come down before?" Zhang Jizu frowned slightly.

"No, I dare not come down. If Wells catches me, he will exile me to the Land of the Pious."

"Tsk - but isn't your wish to push open the door of the theater through the place of piety?

If everyone stays on the edge, how can you realize your dream of becoming a god?" Cheng Shi sneered.

Plott's face turned pale as he shook his head: "I don't know about others, but I don't want to become a god. I fell down accidentally. My only wish is to leave here, to leave this fiery place of chasing gods."

Plott's words were extremely sincere, and even if he hadn't deceived the master, no one would have doubted his attitude.

But Cheng Shi always felt that there was something else behind the other party's words. He raised his eyebrows and said, "So, you want us to take you out? Get away from this icy abyss of Sandres?"

"Yes...is it okay, sir?" Plott's eyes were full of anticipation, but his body was a little timid.

Seeing him like this, Ai Si shook his head and laughed: "I'm afraid this wish is..."

"Of course." Cheng Shi interrupted Ai Si directly, gave her a look, and then smiled brightly at Plott.

"As long as what you said is true and traces of the experiment can be found here, I can make the decision to take you with us when we leave.

But the premise is that you didn’t lie.”

"I don't have it! I really don't have it! I'll go find it now, it must be here, it must be here!" As he said this, the excited Plott began to explore the surrounding area like crazy.

Seeing this harmless scavenger working so hard, Ai Si rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Do you like to lie so much, Mr. Cheng? Sometimes you can achieve your goal without cheating, why do you have to cheat?"

Cheng Shi glanced at Ai Si strangely:

"You know that I am a believer of His. I show my devotion to the Lord all the time. Is that wrong?

But you, war commander, seemed to draw your sword at the slightest disagreement, but in the end you only killed Bertu. I even suspect that you stabbed him to death not because you wanted to comply with the will of war, but because you wanted to free this scavenger who had no face to live.
