“She’s also a Firebringer!?
Then we are colleagues!"
When Chen Shuo said this, Cheng Shi knew that this burden could not be thrown away.
After leaving Ji Yue without saying goodbye, he did not go to find Chen Shu, but quietly chose another direction. After asking several passers-by, he went straight to Kandelt's residence.
But before he walked two blocks, Chen Shuo appeared beside him again. He didn't care about Cheng Shi's attempt to get rid of him at all, and continued to chatter:
"Do you think I should confess to her that I'm also a Firebringer?
Qin Xin is so mean. He never mentioned my name to the people in the organization who were looking for my salary.
What if I mistakenly identify other Firebearers and a fight breaks out?
The image I gave her just now was okay, wasn't it? It should fit her imagination of a special confidentiality colleague, right?"
“…”
If any of these points are true, guess why she came to you instead of me?
Cheng Shi was too lazy to expose the truth and just walked on his own.
Chen Shuo saw Cheng Shi ignoring him, thought for a moment, and made a decision: "I think I should be honest, so that she knows that if she is in danger, she can at least call me for help!"
As he said this, he stopped and turned to leave, but his eyes were all on Cheng Shi. It was obvious that he was testing Cheng Shi's reaction.
However, Cheng Shili ignored him and jumped into Kandert's house, searching carefully.
At this time, Candelt was outside leading the Anti-Fool Guards to search for escaped prisoners. There was no one at home, so Cheng Shi went directly to the study to look through the documents, hoping to find some clues about the purpose of the ridicule.
Before he could turn over for long, Chen Shuo came in. He stood beside him with a strange look on his face and questioned in a low voice, "Why didn't you stop me?"
Cheng Shi casually responded while working: "Why should I stop you?"
"If I rashly approach the scholars, those with ulterior motives will surely become curious, and curiosity will lead to further investigation, which will increase the risk of exposing the Fire Bearer!
You're so smart that you can definitely see that, and you've helped the Firebringer before, so you're considered a friend of his. So if you figured that out, why didn't you stop me?"
“…”
No, I mean, you who are spreading the fire haven't spread the fire yet, but you have been infected with the disease first, right?
Why are you the same as Ji Yue? I didn't do anything, but you have to take the blame?
What's wrong with me looking like a cook?
"I didn't expect that."
Cheng Shi discovered that if he wanted to win over Chen Shuo in an unfavorable area, his thinking circuits had to be either more straightforward or more unique than the other person.
He can't compare with her in terms of purity, so he can only be honest.
I never thought that a [fraudulent] believer like me would be forced to be an honest person one day.
But this answer obviously did not satisfy Chen Shuo, so he kept muttering to Cheng Shi.
"I think what she said is very good, why don't you agree?
If you agree, you will be my colleague. Isn’t that good?
Although you and I are already related, if you join the Firebringers, we will become even closer, brother-in-law!
Why don't you look at me? You feel guilty!
If you don't look, it means you're dodging, and if you're dodging, it means you actually want to join, right!?"
“…”
Cheng Shi really couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't understand the documents on the table in the first place, and there was a fly buzzing next to him. In his irritability, he directly picked up the document from the middle of the table and threw it into Chen Shu's arms, saying unhappily:
"If you have to keep your mouth shut and want to say something, read to me what's on this document."
Chen Shu was stunned, looked down at the document, and read unconsciously:
"Investigation report on the Fool Hunter Statue's mumbling incident... Hmm, why does this sound like a small town ghost story?"
“???”
Cheng Shi was shocked.
It’s not because of the content of the report, but because Chen Shuo actually recognized the words here!
This is an isolated tower of civilization in the chaotic era, and the evolution of writing has changed a lot based on the civilized era. He didn't expect that Chen Shuo could even recognize this?
He had been trying to persuade Zuige for a long time but it was useless. He thought he would miss this information. But now that Chen Shuo knew how to read, Cheng Shi's eyebrows lit up and he said:
"Go on, what else did you say?"
Chen Shuo closed the document with a strange look on his face, and kept looking at Cheng Shidao:
“You’re overacting a bit.
You've already read it, why do you insist on me reading it out loud? Your changing the subject only proves that what the scholars said is right.
The more you resist, the closer you get to each other in your heart."
“…”
Cheng Shi's joy froze on his face. He patted his face and decided to change the way of getting along with others.
So he rolled his eyes slightly and nodded:
"Yes, I admit I'm resistant, and I also admit I'm close. As long as you stop blabbering and read this document completely, I'll consider joining the Firebringers."
Chen Shuo was not stupid. He touched his head and said with disdain: "You lied to me, don't treat me like a fool."
Cheng Shi snorted and laughed: "How do you know if I'm lying to you if you don't try?"
“…”
With just this one sentence, Chen Shuo fell silent.
An open conspiracy, a naked open conspiracy!
Chen Shuo couldn't refuse, because he really wanted Cheng Shi to join the Fire Bearer, so after his expression changed several times, he read out the report honestly.
But from beginning to end, he never felt that one of the two people present was illiterate. He just thought that Cheng Shishi was using documents to shut him up.
"For several months, people have been hearing mumblings coming from the Fool Hunter statue as they pass by it. The following are some recorded cases:
Lophis, after being drunk, passed by the statue and heard muttering; Andrudes, after being drunk, prayed before the statue and heard muttering; Macabaka, after being drunk...
