There was only one scream, and after that the entire courtroom fell silent again.
Ever since leaving the inner hall and coming to the outer courtyard, Cheng Shi's gaze was no longer directed towards the hall, but rather he looked around cautiously.
He was afraid that the scream was just a trick to attract attention, and the real danger might be hidden somewhere else, so his expression was extremely solemn.
Zhang Jizu had the same idea, but when he saw Cheng Shi's vigilant look, he tacitly shifted his gaze into the hall, forming a complementary trend with Cheng Shi's alert area.
Just because of the relationship with that adult, the two of them suddenly became tacit partners after simply testing each other a few times, and it seemed that neither of them thought that the other would betray them.
Zhang Jizu came here with a bodyguard mission, so it was impossible for him to kill the person he was protecting like Marshal Hu Wei did. As for why Cheng Shi trusted him so much, it was probably because of the adult on the bone seat.
It was hard for him to imagine how interesting that adult's expression would be if he was killed by that adult's chosen one, and when he met him again in the Fishbone Hall and went to court with Zhang Jizu.
He doesn't like crowds, so he probably won't allow this situation to happen.
Therefore, Cheng Shi was not worried that there was a problem with Zhang Jizu. What he was worried about was that there was a problem with his other three teammates, and a big problem at that.
Why did the people who had traveled with them all the way disappear after entering the courtyard, leaving only a scream behind for the two of them?
This is so weird and doesn't make sense.
Cheng Shi carefully sensed all the changes around him and asked quietly:
"Can you sense the changes in [time]?"
Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes and shook his head slightly.
"Do you suspect that it's Scorpio who's hunting?"
"It's possible."
"But I didn't sense any remnants of the [time] deduction, at least not in the yard."
Cheng Shi frowned, rolled his eyes and said, "It's been a while, want to go in and take a look?"
"Okay, you go ahead."
"?"
Cheng Shi glanced at him and complained in his heart:
Isn't this a trick I often used when I was a pastor? How come this guy is so skilled at it?
"If you're not afraid of death, why don't you go ahead?"
Zhang Jizu explained very seriously:
“First, I am a priest, and I naturally lack offensive means, so I am not suitable to lead the way;
Second, even if I am a believer in Him, and I am selecting sacrifices for Him to guard the gate of [death], I cannot often make unnecessary changes, which is related to the piety of my faith;
third......"
"Third, I'll go in front! Master, please stop nagging me. Isn't it okay for me to go in front?"
Cheng Shi quickly interrupted his spell and walked away with a speechless look on his face.
I'm so confused. What kind of person is this? He's just as whinny as Tang Seng.
You keep saying "piety" and "piety". I think what you are thinking about is not piety, but your future, right?
Seeing that Cheng Shi agreed to his plan, Zhang Jizu followed him with a smile.
So the two of them walked back from the outer courtyard along the retreat path, one in front of the other. When they reached the bottom of the spiral staircase, Cheng Shi looked at the dim second floor and suddenly yelled:
"Is the old man still alive?"
The hollow voice echoed in the hall for a moment, but no one responded.
Cheng Shi frowned, held the scalpel horizontally in front of him, pinched the ring on his finger with his right hand, and walked up the stairs step by step.
Zhang Jizu followed closely behind, constantly examining the footprints on the stairs, and whispered:
“Something’s not right.
The door to the inner hall was open, and it wasn't far from the courtyard, so it was impossible for us not to hear the heavy footsteps. Besides, he clearly knew there was someone behind him, so why didn't he call for help when he was being chased?"
Cheng Shi paused and said without turning his head:
"The first possibility is that the footprints are the end of the evolution of the [Time] Assassin. He overwrote the pursuit in the deduction to the present, so we can't hear the footsteps in another time and space.
The second possibility is that someone muffled the sound.
But since you didn't feel any remnant of the power of [Time], it means the second possibility is more likely.
Of course, it is also possible that Scorpio is a master and has the means to erase the remaining power.
But no matter which one it is, it means that our tour group is disbanded.
Tsk, they were just walking in the city together, and then they started fighting. It’s really hard to guess what people are thinking.
Or maybe we liars are simple and innocent, and never have bad intentions. "
Didn’t you say you were a wood elf from the Plant Protection Association? How did you become a liar?
You don’t want to pretend anymore, right?
"......" Zhang Jiuzu twitched his eyes fiercely and couldn't continue.
The two people continued walking cautiously, and soon they reached the second floor. The windows on the second floor seemed to be sealed up, and only a little light shone in through the gaps in the wooden boards that sealed the windows, but this level of brightness was not enough to illuminate the entire space.
Cheng Shi leaned over to take a look and found that the entire second floor was extremely dark. There were several rows of large bookshelves near the stairs that blocked his view. Through the gaps between the overlapping bookshelves, he could vaguely see something on the floor inside, and there seemed to be some decorations on the ceiling.
There were several messy footprints next to the bookshelf. It seemed that Gou Feng rushed behind the bookshelf, turned back, and then rushed in again.
The superposition of the footprints showed the shock and uneasiness in his heart. Seeing this, Cheng Shi paused and shrank his head slightly.
There may be a problem behind the bookshelf.
He turned around and signaled to Mimiyan to be more careful, then took out a spherical magic lamp from his personal space, threw it high over the top of the bookshelf and smashed it into the depths of the second floor.
