The adult's understanding of the power of [Memory] was limited, so the finger bones could only conduct one effective question and answer.
Therefore, how to ask in order to maximize the information he obtains becomes a question that Cheng Shi needs to consider every time he uses the brooch.
Fortunately, he was not here to solve the case, but to find clues, so he asked the question that interested him most without hesitation:
"What secrets are hidden in Redicoll's Fool Hunter Statue?"
A green light flashed in the eye sockets of the Kandelt corpse driven by the finger bones, and it spoke hoarsely:
"Mumbling... the statue appeared... bestowed a divine gift upon Kirshner..."
With that, the powerless body fell back to the ground, and the two players present widened their eyes.
God-given! ?
Cheng Shi's eyes fixed, and he thought to himself, could it be that [Foolishness] has lowered his gaze! ?
It's not impossible. Sending objects for prayer is the most pious way of expressing faith in the history of the Island of Hope. It has also been proven that it can attract the attention of the gods, such as the people in the mirror and their mirrors...
But just because [Memory] lowered its gaze doesn't mean [Foolishness] will too. With that arrogant look on his face, will he look over here?
If one really wanted to find a reason for [Foolishness] to be staring at this place, Cheng Shi believed that it would not be the gathering of faith, but rather that a grand act of folly was about to take place here.
But is this stupidity the fault of the Redicoles or the players?
What exactly is it that He has given?
Chen Shuo was also shocked, but what shocked him was not the divine gift, but the fact that the corpse could speak!
It's not like he had never seen such props before, but none of them could be used repeatedly like the one in Cheng Shi's hand. Moreover, even the necromancer who knew corpses best could rarely make a corpse answer questions honestly, after all, it involved [memory].
The believers of [Memory] could use corpses, but at that time they used the corpses to search for memories rather than interact with the corpses.
You know, dealing with corpses is much easier than dealing with living people, and it just so happens that the believers of [Silence] love secrets the most. If this prop belonged to him, Chen Shuo couldn't imagine how happy he would be chatting with the corpse.
This is so happy!
He looked at Cheng Shi's brooch with envy and said sourly, "Such a precious item must have cost a lot, right?"
cost?
Cheng Shi was stunned, and suddenly remembered that he had not paid tribute to that adult for a long time. It turned out that "large depositors" had all kinds of conveniences.
But seeing the statement, Cheng Shi knew that if he didn't say something about the shortcomings of the finger bone brooch today, this brooch that could restore the memory of a corpse would probably become the next topic that the other party would keep talking about.
So he responded casually:
"Do you know why I only asked one question? If you ask any more, the corpse will start talking nonsense. It's much harder to use than you think."
"?"
How can this be a cost? Isn’t this a pure advantage?
I don't find it exciting if you just chat with me normally. What I want is nonsense.
For a moment, the statement became even more sour.
“…”
When Cheng Shi saw that Chen Shu's eyes were becoming more and more strange, he knew it was time to leave.
He placed Kandelt's body in the Molten Coffin, then evaded the guards and slipped away.
Chen Shuo followed closely behind Cheng Shi and whispered, "Can I exchange something for this brooch?"
Not to mention that Cheng Shi didn't want to change, even if he wanted to, he wouldn't dare to exchange the props given by the boss [Death] with others.
That gentleman is not very kind-hearted. If he really summons me to the bone throne and asks me to serve him, who can I go to for justice?
So, Cheng Shi rolled his eyes and said, "Shut up."
Chen Shuo paused, then followed again, his expression struggling as he said:
“No, keeping silent is blasphemy against my Lord.
I can't trade my piety for such a trifle."
“…”
Where does your piety come from?
Doesn’t your benefactor bother you?
Cheng Shi had become completely numb. Except for the time when he used Chen Shuo as a tool and showed some appreciation, his head would throb with pain whenever he heard the other party speak.
He didn't say another word along the way until he brought Chen Shuo back to the Forbidden City. In the last rays of the setting sun, the two stood in the shadows of the alley next to the Forbidden City, waiting for an opportunity to find a way to enter.
Chen Shuo seemed to see what Cheng Shi was thinking. He touched his head and said, "Do you want to find Kirshner's body?"
Cheng Shi nodded:
"That's right. Now all the clues indicate that there's something strange about the statue. The only person who has investigated the statue is Executioner Kirshner, and his death must be related to that divine gift.
It's not yet nightfall, and there are too many people in town to get close to the statue. I can only investigate the surrounding clues first. I hope Kirshner has the clue I'm looking for."
After saying this, he let Chen Shu take the lead and slipped back into the prison.
The Prison for Idiots was built against a cliff, covering a vast area that could accommodate many people. However, there were not many people in the prison at that time. Apart from the patrol guards who were added due to the jailbreak, there were very few guards in other places, as they had all gone to the town to search for the jailbreak suspects.
After searching for a while, the two found Kirshner's body in the morgue next to the prison.
However, when Cheng Shi opened the coffin and saw the corpse inside, he was shocked and stood there in a daze.
Chen Shuo leaned over and asked curiously:
"Huh, someone removed his eyes?"
Yes, both of Kirshner’s eyeballs are missing!
