Chapter 234: It’s better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early



Cheng Shi made a feint but didn't actually leave.

Because the acrobats haven't come out yet.

Since a stake can kill one rabbit, there is no reason why it cannot kill a second one.

But fables are fables, and the ancients have used their wisdom to prove the accuracy of fables, that is, a stake cannot kill a second rabbit.

Cheng Shi waited here for 5 or 6 hours but the acrobat didn't show up. He estimated that it was already dark outside and it was a good time to escape, so he gave up the idea of ​​waiting any longer and left the mine.

"Could it be that the person who died in place of the other one was a senior in high school?

Although he is a little bit dumb, he doesn't seem stupid...

Maybe he crawled back along the pipe he came from?"

Cheng Shi thought about it and felt that it made sense.

In that case...why not go to the ruins of the Colosseum to stop him?

Speaking of which, Cheng Shi didn't seem to have any grudges against Gao San. It was normal for scammers to deceive each other. As long as they didn't try to trick each other to death, there was a possibility of cooperation again.

Therefore, his trip to the ruins of the Colosseum was not simply to stop Gao San, but for another teammate, Zhao Si.

This clever trickster put himself in danger in order to protect himself, and it is time to settle the score.

It's funny that this trial has not lasted more than a day, but three of my five teammates have died, and all of them died at my hands.

I have to sigh at the fickleness of fate.

Cheng Shi shook his head and laughed.

Although the trial was not long, after going through so much, he had some special ideas about this extremely chaotic trial. However, these rather absurd ideas still needed to be verified, and the method of verification happened to be related to the master of tricks.

So I have to find him.

Cheng Shi quickly left the abandoned mine and returned to the surface.

The surface corresponding to this mine was obviously not outside the city, and the size of the laboratory could not be compared with that of a city. When Cheng Shi climbed up the last wooden ladder and pushed open the wooden board of the shaft, he found himself in a private house in the city.

It was already late at night, and the moonlight was cold but not dim.

Cheng Shi looked around in the moonlight and at least confirmed that no one lived in the house, which seemed like a disguise.

But the fact that no one lives in the courtyard does not mean that it is not lively outside. The other side of the courtyard wall seems to be the gathering point of the city guards. Many knights are holding magic lanterns and summoning their companions, looking like they are going to take over the rescue work.

With a roll of his eyes, he secretly climbed over the wall, knocked out a lucky guy at random, put on his armor, picked up his lance, and followed the large army back to the arena.

However, the Colosseum had become a sinkhole at this time. Under the illumination of the magic lamps connected in series, one could see that the pit was filled with broken wood, iron, and gray stone remains.

Countless distorted corpses were carried out from the ruins by the knights, and being able to pick up an intact corpse was considered the luckiest thing that happened in this unfortunate disaster.

Wailing and sighing resounded through the sky, and suffering and misfortune lingered.

The scene was so tragic that the air was filled with sadness, and Cheng Shi, one of the "culprits" who caused this disaster, also had a sad face.

Unfortunately, the sadness on his face was not for any other reason, but for disguise. After all, the whole team looked unhappy. If he did not fit in at this moment, his identity would be exposed.

He listened in silence for a long time, and finally, with red eyes, he asked the person next to him sadly:

"Has the cause of the explosion been found out?"

"It seems that they have found out the truth, but it has not been announced yet. When the captain received the order tonight, he heard the Iron Knights reporting to the Inquisitors that there was a problem within their ranks."

"ah?"

"Hush! Keep your voice down. Don't worry about your life. The Supreme Inquisitor hasn't left yet, and the Knights of Iron Law are around you and me. Do you want them to know that we are saying bad things about them?"

"......" Brother, I only asked one question, the rest were all said by you, why are you making such a fuss?

Cheng Shi moved closer speechlessly but expectantly, trying his best to pretend to be very interested, and listened to this teammate who was very eager to share what he had heard.

"It was not discovered by the Knights of Iron Law in the beginning. It was discovered by us. The brothers of the City Guard Knights found unexploded explosives in the ruins. After testing the samples, they found that the explosive ratio was similar to the common formula of the Knights of Iron Law, so they reported it.

Guess what, when the Iron Knights investigated, they found someone who had been buying gunpowder materials in the city, and this person happened to be one of their own, what was his name, Green...”

"Grind!"

"Oh yeah, yeah, huh? You knew that?"

"I don't know, I'm just guessing."

"Then you guessed it right, it's him!

He was on duty at the prison for death row prisoners for a period of time, and the explosion point discovered at the scene matches the place where he was on duty. Isn't that a coincidence?"

"What a coincidence."

"It's even more coincidental. Grindel was rescued, but he disappeared the moment he turned around. Now the Iron Knights have gone crazy and the whole city is looking for him. So, since we are short of manpower, we were assigned to dig a hole."

"So that's how it is..."

Cheng Shi understood. He had always thought that it was his teammates who blew up the arena, but now it seemed that the players were just there by chance. He just didn't know why Green buried the explosives under the arena.

Where is he from?

Is it to create chaos, or is it for the laboratory under the arena?
