“Smart, you got it right.”
Unfortunately, you answered incorrectly.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard a crisp "crack" sound. Du Qiyu's pupils contracted sharply and then slowly dilated, instantly losing their light, and he collapsed into Yu Xi's arms without any resistance.
The fool continued to scoff, casually tossing aside the animal trainer's corpse, and then smiled as he looked up at the five remaining swindlers present, saying:
"They are called the Firebringers, and they are protected by our Lord."
You need not know the purpose, but just remember that whoever sees what is happening today must not blow out another’s fire.
As for what fire is...
Yu Xi's sharp eyes swept over the room, then he smiled broadly, "I don't think I need to say anything more, do I?"
"!!!"
For a moment, the people present trembled and fell silent.
Someone actually died during the audience!
It's one thing to not see the gods, but what's the point of losing your life?
Of course, Du Qiyu might have gone to meet "death," but at this juncture, no one could make such a joke.
The master of trickery who had fought Du Qiyu was particularly terrified. He feared that the foolish man killed his opponent not because of some inexplicable torchbearer, but because their fight had disrupted the "order" of the venue.
He even turned his head away, not daring to look at the foolish lord, plotting how to escape this terrifying audience site.
The messenger of [deception] once again demonstrated his intimidating power at the audience.
Seeing that no one dared to utter a sound, Yu Xi chuckled lightly, casually kicked the corpse into the abyss, then leaped back onto the first platform, reaching out to the swindlers below him:
"The exams continue, who's next?"
"......"
This didn't feel like an exam at all; it felt more like a series of death knells.
The crowd dared not move for a moment, and could only stand there frozen, letting the silence flow.
Cheng Shi, behind the invisible curtain, saw everything and looked at Longjing with a hint of relief in his eyes.
Cheng Shi set a rule for the clowns: never extinguish someone else's fire. The fact that Longjing was able to carry out the clowns' will at this time undoubtedly shows that the acrobats have completely transformed into the shape of clowns.
But what about the beast tamer who didn't die?
That's right, Du Qiyu is not dead at all!
Cheng Shi, who was behind the scenes, saw it clearly: the moment Long Jing, who was playing the fool, put his arm around Du Qiyu's shoulder, the animal trainer secretly slipped something to Long Jing from behind!
Because of this, Longjing did not break the other person's neck, but instead used a misaligned perspective to break his own wrist, making a cracking sound that stunned everyone present.
For an acrobat, losing a hand or foot wouldn't even be considered "severing," yet these two managed to send a conman away from the audience in this seemingly harmless manner.
Yes, the animal trainer has been sent away!
If you think about it carefully, you'll find the clues. If the Foolish Prank really wanted to intimidate the believers, there was no need to dispose of the animal trainer's corpse. Placing the corpse on the platform would have been more impactful for the scammers.
But he chose to kick the corpse into the abyss, both to prevent Du Qiyu's fake death from being exposed over time and to arrange a meeting with him. If Du Qiyu wasn't stupid, he would definitely be waiting for the foolish trick to come from the bottom of the abyss.
The animal trainer probably didn't have the ability to distinguish between genuine and fake tricks.
That's interesting.
Longjing's intention to protect the Fire Linker was absolutely genuine, yet he deliberately let Xiaoqi, who attempted to expose the Fire Linker, go unpunished.
Based on Cheng Shi's understanding of Xiao Qi, a leopard can't change its spots. The real Du Qiyu would never fool Long Jing with such a petty trick. So the answer is obvious: Long Jing accepted what Du Qiyu offered and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
But this is actually Xiaoqi's biggest problem!
He is definitely not Du Qiyu!
Who could it be?
Thinking of this, Cheng Shi glanced at the void deep inside the venue and frowned slightly.
Whoever it is, go see... no, go and try to trick them and we'll find out.
