Cheng Shi has always felt that this mysterious scholar is planning a conspiracy, which is most likely not aimed at the players, but at Serius outside the door.
As for the specific content of this game, he couldn't guess, nor did he want to guess, because he was now a "brainless" warrior of today, not the "fragile" clown who needed to always calculate others to protect himself.
This change of identity finally made Cheng Shi realize what "all fear comes from insufficient firepower" meant. His firepower was so great now that all he needed was a target for him to fire a powerful shot at.
Serius watched helplessly as his assets were stolen by the thief in front of his eyes without saying a word.
"If you don't say anything, I'll leave." Having said that, Cheng Shi stood up and was about to leave.
After repeated stimulation, Serius finally lost his reserve. He sighed and said to Cheng Shi:
“I… do have a request.
I am indeed waiting for someone, a witness.”
"Witness?" Cheng Shi frowned. Is [Memory] involved in this?
But he figured it out in an instant. The witness Serius mentioned was not a profession, but a simple witness.
"Witness what?"
"Witness...my death."
"?"
As he spoke, Serius pulled out a strange short knife as thin as a finger from the drawer under the laboratory table.
"This is the tool I used to slice the skin in my experiments, the 'Concentric Dagger'. If it's not too much trouble, I beg you to stab the dagger into my heart and end this endless suffering for me...
I'm fed up with it all. I'm fed up with being manipulated by sponsors, whether in the Tower of Reason or in the Grand Inquisition. They can't feel the joy of the experiment, nor can they understand the purpose of the experiment. They just want a result, a result that is useful to them.
Even if this result does not promote future experiments in the slightest...
Short-sighted, ignorant, arrogant and extreme!
These sponsors are always the same. I see through them. These ignorant fools!"
Serius's calm tone finally changed a little. He looked at Cheng Shi with slightly excited eyes and raised the dagger.
"Don't doubt my intentions. I cannot commit suicide. This is the shackles that Order has placed on me.
That's why I want to ask you, please help me end this, I've had enough.
Let my slices continue to serve them. I no longer have any attachment to this world without any confidants.
I have waited for this moment for too long, and finally the outsider came.
So, young man, please, help me.
Because I helped you open the gladiator mask."
Seeing that Cheng Shi remained indifferent, Serius added fuel to the fire.
"I am the mastermind behind all the misfortunes in your life. Don't you... want revenge?"
“Tsk.”
Cheng Shi's brain, which had just stopped working, started working again. He looked at Serius thoughtfully and suddenly asked, "Why did you have to die with your own slicing dagger? What do you want to say?"
Serius was stunned. He never thought that anyone would worry about this.
"I... don't want to say anything. This is the thing in this workshop that looks most like a murder weapon. If you are a death row prisoner, in anger, you would stab the instigator with the experimental tool. Isn't it reasonable?"
"Oh, I see, so not only do you want to die, you also want that so-called witness to see a legitimate homicide.
This doesn't fit your current mentality. Why would a person who has no attachment to the world make so many arrangements?"
"..." Serius said with a tangled expression, "I don't want others to know that I am a coward. I don't want others to know that I am afraid of this world being dominated by power and cannot freely approach [Them]. I don't want my reputation as a scholar to be shrouded in a shadow that can never be wiped off."
"Well, that's reasonable, but I have a safer method."
As he spoke, Cheng Shi raised his hand and cast [Thunder Judgment] without any warning towards the place where Li Yi left.
"boom--"
The lightning burned the playing cards on the ground until they were charred. The dazzling light flashed by and made Serius' expression change, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
He is scared!
Cheng Shi discovered that the fun ring, which had just consumed a layer of fear nutrients, was fully charged again.
Interesting, why would a person who is begging for death be afraid of death?
Cheng Shi looked at the concentric dagger on the table with a playful look, then picked it up with a smile.
"Just use this to stab you in the heart?"
"......Yes." Serius looked at Cheng Shi and suddenly hesitated.
“Are there any requirements for the posture of death?”
"......No."
"I didn't see a clock in your workshop, so how long will it take for your witness to arrive?"
"...it will probably take another 5 minutes."
"That's enough."
After saying that, Cheng Shi stabbed the concentric dagger into Serius' heart without hesitation. It was a fatal blow, and the huge force even pierced through his body, causing blood to spurt out from Serius' back.
"cough......"
Serius died, his last words being a heavy cough.
Cheng Shi watched the scholar fall back on the chair with his eyes open in death, and slowly withdrew his hand.
One after another, great scholar died in front of him.
History is really interesting. It always allows a clown to play all kinds of absurd roles in the absurd past.
