Is this the demigod item that kills people invisibly?
The scene made Cheng Shi unable to help but think this way!
Although the dagger was held in the Ascetic Monk's palm, He couldn't hold this demigod item steady at all, His entire body trembled with the dagger.
Seeing His bloodshot eyes and splitting gaze, Cheng Shi was really afraid something would happen to Him.
"The Grand Tribunal is downstairs, they could find this place at any time, withdraw your domain, I'll help you!"
What Cheng Shi's sincerity received was the usual Silence.
Even as the Ascetic Monk's state continued to decline, He did not withdraw the Silence domain.
This truly rendered Cheng Shi speechless.
"You found the key clue to the Trial, didn't you?"
"..."
"Your state is too poor, if you don't let go you'll die!"
"..."
Alright, alright, so you're going solo, huh!
"Fine, fine, then you die!"
Seeing that communication was impossible, Cheng Shi turned and left.
The commotion here was too great, the people from the Grand Tribunal weren't fools, they would quickly realize where the Troubadour's room was and pursue.
If they saw Him, the fact that He appeared at the murderer's door would be impossible to explain away.
How could an ordinary traveler be so interested in a murderer that He would run in the opposite direction towards the murderer's room while others were fleeing for their lives?
Investigate clues when you can, save your life first when you need to.
Cheng Shi couldn't beat this solo Warrior, so He could only think of other methods.
However, just as He turned to leave, a terrifying purple Thunder suddenly streaked past Cheng Shi's cheek, directly striking the Ascetic Monk's body.
Startling Thunder!
Cheng Shi's heart and mind trembled, His pupils contracted sharply.
The terrifying burning and numbing sensation made Him lose feeling in half of His face.
He widened His eyes and looked forward, only to see a man standing at the second-floor stairwell, staring at Him with cold eyes.
Mercsius!
This Judge arrived faster than He had anticipated.
Behind Him were several law enforcers and a crowd of onlookers who weren't afraid of Death, as well as Fang Jue and Du Xiguang, who were hiding in the crowd with tightly furrowed brows.
Clearly, they had already dealt with the Troubadour downstairs.
So fast?
Cheng Shi instinctively felt that something might have gone wrong downstairs.
He looked at Fang Jue, then paused slightly, and chose to look at Du Xiguang instead.
As expected, Fang Jue kept a straight face and said nothing, Du Xiguang's face showed conflict, but in the end, He still shook His head slightly.
Something happened to the Troubadour!
That's why they came upstairs immediately!
Fang Jue, this follower of Order, was actually still considering the issue of conflicting Faiths at such a time.
This is truly...
Forget it, the conflict of Faith is understandable among Players.
The Faith of Chaos is indeed annoying.
But what He needed to think about now wasn't this, but how to extricate Himself from the situation of appearing at the murderer's door.
Cheng Shi's mind raced and He immediately pretended to be startled, falling sideways, and while rolling on the ground, He stole a glance at the Ascetic Monk in the room.
Such a thick bolt of lightning, merely a splash of electricity during the strike had stung Him, and half of His face lost sensation.
If this hit a person, could they still live??
You know what, they really can!
The Ascetic Monk's body was clearly frozen for an instant by the Thunder as thick as a barrel, but He really didn't die, instead, He was blasted away, covered in scorch marks.
At the same time, He flung the demonic red dagger to Cheng Shi's feet.
Mercsius was clearly also astonished that His Thunder Punishment hadn't struck the criminal dead.
But He quickly regained His serious demeanor, His tone as cold as millennium-old ice in an abyss.
"Very good, you are the first sinner to survive my Thunder Punishment.
Even I must admire such a physique.
The southern front is tight, it's a time when people are needed.
Give up resisting, hand over 'It', and I'll give you a chance to serve as a 'War Prisoner'!"
Condemned prisoners serving in battle might fight their way to survival on the battlefield, such people are generally called War Prisoners by the Grand Tribunal.
Of course, no matter how many people they kill, they can only avoid Death, they still have to go to prison when they return.
Order needs to be maintained, and judgments will not be wrong.
From the moment a sinner commits a crime, they are a sinner for eternity.
This is the will of the Grand Tribunal.
It is also the reason Fang Jue doesn't want to join the Grand Tribunal.
He frowned after hearing this sentence.
The thick, glue-like Thunder at the top of Mercsius's scepter was still roaring, He gazed mercilessly at the Ascetic Monk, as if as long as He dared to say the word "No", this roaring Thunder would swallow Him without hesitation.
Cheng Shi hid to the side like an invisible person, but in His heart, He was calculating how this follower of silence should break the situation.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations.
He didn't want to break the situation at all!
When the Ascetic Monk struggled to climb up from the ground, He did not choose to escape immediately, but resolutely pounced towards Cheng Shi!
No!
It was the dagger at Cheng Shi's feet!
Cheng Shi suddenly widened His eyes, crawling back two steps in extreme disbelief.
Brother, do you really have to be this stubborn?
If you're not tough, you can't live, right?
Do you think the Judge's Thunder Punishment is electrotherapy?
People can really die!
These two extremely quick steps indeed saved Cheng Shi's life, because at the same time the Ascetic Monk moved, the bolt of Thunder in Mercsius's hand decisively roared and surged towards Him!
"Boom!"
No luck this time!
The Ascetic Monk turned into charred ash the moment the Thunder struck Him.
This bolt of Thunder, carrying rage, was clearly more terrifying than the previous one.
Lord Moqiusi was angry.
And so the sinner...
Died.
Dust scattered, the sound of Thunder completely subsided.
And the deceased Himself, from beginning to end, never spoke a word.
Throughout the entire process of Death, He practiced the Edict of silence, demonstrating His piety to His Lord.
"Buzz--"
The huge sound of Thunder made Cheng Shi's ears ring.
His skull was screaming, His mind was trembling.
Since the Ascetic Monk pounced in the direction He was facing, Cheng Shi clearly saw the persistence in His eyes.
He saw that persistent light disappear from His eyes before He was struck by the Thunder!
He wasn't killed by the lightning!!
But died from fear!
Yes, He died from the demonic red dagger at His feet, died from When Fear Arrives!
Before the Judge's judgment, He died under a demigod item He wanted to seize!
Cheng Shi widened His eyes in disbelief, quickly turning His head to look at the crowd.
If the Troubadour downstairs had already been dealt with, when was the Ascetic Monk locked onto by It?
Could it be that the murderer is still among the crowd?
Even under the nose of the Grand Tribunal, He is still killing people!?
Six, three remaining.
The Trial is only on the second day!
Cheng Shi broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to speak.
He slightly hugged His body tightly, trying hard to play the role of a frightened and injured traveler, attempting to muddle through.
In fact, Mercsius had seen through everything long ago, He knew Cheng Shi wasn't a good person, and He also knew that He wanted to fish in troubled waters to find this dagger.
However, the most advantageous point for Cheng Shi was that even though He appeared where He shouldn't have, He didn't do anything He shouldn't have.
For this kind of person who is clearly not a good person but has no criminal behavior, the Judge cannot convict them.
Otherwise, it would be a violation of Order.
Order granted them authority, but also limited their power.
Mercsius walked in front of Cheng Shi with a solemn face, ignoring the "injured traveler", and bent down to pick up the demonic red dagger.
This demigod item that had almost taken half of the Ascetic Monk's life did not show much resistance in His hand, lying quietly in His hand like an ordinary iron object.
But the moment When Fear Arrives fell into Mercsius's hand, the faces of the only three remaining Players became extremely ugly.
The difficulty of the Trial is still increasing.
