"He's gone?"
Ji Yue was half sitting up on the bed, looking at Chen Shuo who pushed the door open and asked with a smile.
Chen Shu nodded, dragged a chair over and sat beside the bed, staring at Ji Yue straight, which made Ji Yue feel uneasy.
At this moment, she remembered what Cheng Shi said:
"Don't forget, this person belongs to your Firebringer. Is that still funny?"
Not funny at all!
Her smile froze on her face.
But it was not a good idea to remain so stiff. Unable to bear such direct stares, Ji Yue looked away and changed the subject:
"Why join Firebringer?"
There seem to be some natural topics for fire-bearers to talk about, such as beauty, dreams, and mission... Speaking of which, Ji Yue's move is not too abrupt. The two fire-bearers who have just met should understand each other's will to pass on the fire.
Chen Shuo was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he said seriously:
"Grandma said there are many good people in this world, but I haven't found any. So I think the world is wrong and I have to make it right."
“…”
Ji Yue didn't expect Chen Shuo to give such a reason. She looked at him in surprise, but soon a smile broke out on her face:
"So this is the kind of beauty you want to protect, well, that's great.
Qin Xin's vision is still as sharp as ever."
Once the topic of fire transmission came up, Chen Shuo would always become more restrained. He laughed awkwardly twice, patted his head, and said:
"What about you? What are you doing this for?"
"for what......"
Ji Yue's eyes were confused for a moment, and she shook her head.
“Actually, it should be said that it was an accident.
Fang Shiqing, the firewood seeker of the city defenders, let something slip during a trial, which led me to accidentally learn about the Fire Bearer.
Perhaps she thought I wasn't a bad person, so she invited me.
Logically speaking, with my temper, Shi Qing's gentle and calm personality probably couldn't persuade me, but I just had a fire in my heart, and I always felt as if a bold statement had convinced me and pushed me onto the road of passing on the fire.
But every time I try to recall the taste, it disappears.
I thought this was the guidance given to me by fate.
But today... I seemed to dream of some confusing scenes again. Those fragmented images told me that the bold words seemed to have really existed... so much so that I am a little confused now.
But even without making any grand claims, I recognize what the Firebringer is doing.
When Fang Jue and I established the mutual aid association, I said that the more difficult and dangerous the situation is, the more people should unite.
There are already too many people in this world who are lost in meaningless faith and piety, but those gods high above... may not really treat humans as human beings.
In this case, humans themselves must naturally restore humanity’s reputation!
I didn't want to live like a maggot, so I agreed to Shi Qing and joined Chuanhuo.
Even if this step only means changing from a worm to a moth, I will accept it.
Because I can't lose the fire in my life!"
“Pah pah pah!”
Chen Shuo actually started clapping as he listened. He ignored Ji Yue's embarrassment and said admiringly, "Is this why you chose [War]?"
Ji Yue's face froze and she turned away: "That was also an accident."
"Another accident?
There are many variables in your life."
Chen Shuo clicked his tongue, "Then do you think there will be any unexpected events in our next plan?"
“…I’m not a believer in [fate].
But what plan are you talking about?"
Chen Shuo straightened up:
"Looking for the foolish plan!
I think you have heard the news about Fool Xi. Now that you know His position, we should actively contact Him!
My brother-in-law is soft-hearted and he is the key to this plan, so if I want to ask him for help, I have to make him owe me a favor.
When you can recover, I will take you back to get your place back!"
"Kill the historian and the scavenger?"
"Not just those two, but also those clueless followers of [Annihilation], this time I'm going to kill them all until my brother-in-law agrees!"
"..." Ji Yue looked at Chen Shuo for a long time with a strange expression on his face. "I thought you were a city defender, but I never thought you were also a city builder?"
Chen Shuo thought for a moment and shook his head:
"No, I think I'm the one who's good at it. He and my sister are a perfect match."
“…”
...
When Cheng Shi rushed back to the statue, night had already begun to fade.
The streets of the small town were the quietest before dawn, and even the patrolling guards were few and far between. The absence of people gave him room to act freely.
Cheng Shi knocked around the statue and became more and more certain that the statue was hollow and there must be something hidden inside.
The previous investigation had already allowed him to understand some of the conditions of the statue. Although it was just a stone sculpture, it was indestructible by force, impervious to water and fire, and immune to the void. Ordinary people could not break the statue at all, let alone enter it to take a look.
However, Cheng Shi is not an ordinary person. He thought of a way.
Since the statue's eyeballs can move, it means that its eye sockets and eyeballs must not fit perfectly together. If this is the case, if a dice can be squeezed into the gap, it can use its talent to replace itself in.
So Cheng Shi climbed to the highest point of the statue, hung on the eye socket and fumbled around, and he actually found a small hole in the gap of the eye socket that looked like it had been worn out over the years.
And as luck would have it, that small hole can just accommodate a dice!
