A bit interesting.
The male actor, who seemed so boisterous, talkative, and casually spoke, had lied right from the start when they introduced themselves.
Even more interestingly, the sentence was long, and there were many points where he could lie. For a moment, Cheng Shi couldn't accurately sniff out what his lie was meant to conceal.
So, outwardly, he remained calm, but inwardly, he put a special attention tag on Da Jiang Ge.
After Su Yida finished introducing himself, the white-haired old man beside him, who had been constantly coughing, finally straightened up and smiled, nodding at everyone.
However, that smile looked somewhat painful.
"Excuse me, everyone, I know Time is short, but this old man still wants to ask first:
Has anyone among you encountered a college student named "Cui Qiushi"?
Cough cough cough... He's tall, a bit taller than me, about 1.83 meters, thin, with short hair, which might be long now.
His skin is relatively dark, and he has a scar on the back of his neck, a burn scar.
Uh, cough cough... His eyes are quite similar to mine, but he has a mole at the corner of his eye, he..."
Before the old man could finish speaking, Su Yida couldn't help but interrupt, waving his hand and saying:
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. I say, old man, what are you doing here?
Looking for someone? Who is this person? Your grandson?"
The old man shook his head, coughed frantically for a while, and then straightened up again, apologizing:
"I'm really sorry, my body is failing.
He's my son. I just want to know if he's still alive, if he's safe. I've been looking for him for a long Time, but I haven't found him."
Son?
Cheng Shi looked at the old man with some surprise.
This person looked at least seventy years old or older. If his son was a college student, wouldn't that mean he had a child in his fifties?
No wonder he was still looking for his son even though the world was in this state. Children born in old age are doted on to death.
"No, uncle, you're seventy or eighty this year, right? Your son is a college student?"
The old man wasn't angered by Su Yida's questioning at all, just kept nodding, responding while coughing:
"Yes, Autumn Time had good grades and got into Nanjiang University of Science and Technology..."
"...Alright, stop talking. Who cares which university he got into? There are no universities anymore.
Let me tell you, no one has seen him. Think about it, there are 12 billion people globally, and only 6 are matched in each game. It would be a ghost if you could meet him. Besides, maybe he..."
Perhaps realizing that speculating that the old man's son was already dead was too hurtful, Su Yida opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed his words back.
"Sorry for delaying everyone, this old man is called Cui Dingtian, his Faith is decay, and his Ladder score is 1677."
Cui Dingtian, decay, 1677
decay!
This old man actually directly stated his Faith.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Cheng Shi's gaze quickly scanned the faces of the others and found that only Tao Yi's expression showed a hint of unnaturalness at a certain moment.
Oh, here comes the fun.
She is a believer of prosperity!
Su Yida was also momentarily stunned:
"You... Old man, you just said it like that?
Tao Yi is a believer of Life, aren't you afraid of her..."
"Alas, I am a cardinal rotwood, what is there to hide.
Everyone has seen the old man's physical condition. Now, living one more day is one more day. My greatest wish is to hear news of Autumn Time before I die.
Cough cough cough... But don't worry, everyone, this old man still has some strength and can help out.
If I drag you down then, don't worry about me, this is Fate."
Cui Dingtian's words were sincere and not lies.
But looking at this truly "cardinal rotwood" believer of decay, Cheng Shi frowned deeply.
In his state, this should be the Time when the power of decay is strongest. To be honest, this person's power of decay is probably several Times that of a young person, but how did he end up like this now?
Strange!
"We need to speed up, everyone, the rain is getting heavier."
The gentleman who first reminded everyone that their spatial inventory was sealed seemed particularly sensitive to everything happening around him.
He slowly moved his gaze away from the old man and wrung the water from his clothes.
"Zhao Qian, Civilization, Hunter, 1937."
Zhao Qian, Civilization, Hunter, 1937
As expected, a Hunter!
Cheng Shi smiled slightly and gave himself a thumbs up, but his heart was also somewhat concerned about Zhao Qian's gaze just now.
This Hunter brother seemed very interested in the old man, and his flickering eyes hid unspoken lies.
Did he find his prey?
Or, has he met the person named "Cui Qiushi"?
Just as Cheng Shi was carefully observing the old man and the Hunter, the young man standing beside them spoke.
"Gao Yu, Civilization, Mage, 1721."
Gao Yu, Civilization, Mage, 1721
Another Mage?
Is today Mage team building day?
Cheng Shi suddenly felt like laughing.
This young Mage already looked a bit young, and his voice still carried a bit of childishness.
He still looked like he wasn't very old.
"High school student?" Cheng Shi asked with a smile.
Gao Yu's face froze, and he turned his head, muttering a reply:
"What high school, I'll be 18 soon."
"Oh, high school student."
"..."
Gao Yu looked at Cheng Shi speechlessly, finding this person very boring.
Cheng Shi grinned.
Tsk, little brat.
But... this game is interesting, all the old, weak, women, and children are here.
As for who is weak...
"Cough cough, Cheng Shi, Life, Priest, 1501.
Greetings, everyone."
Cheng Shi smiled brightly, seemingly feeling very honored that his low score could match a group of brothers with scores of 1700 and 1800.
And when the others heard that Cheng Shi was a Priest, their slightly furrowed brows also relaxed.
Finally, in this Trial of desperate survival, a Priest had arrived.
Although this Priest's score was a bit low, it was okay, it was better than nothing.
Just as Cheng Shi finished his introduction, the distant sky suddenly flashed brightly, followed shortly by a rumbling thunder.
"Boom—"
Streaks of lightning arbitrarily roamed in the ink-black clouds, as if a true dragon was bringing clouds and rain.
The rain was visibly getting heavier.
"Whoosh la la la—"
"It seems the initial disaster is related to rain, very likely a flood or a landslide. Everyone, proceed with the Edict quickly. After that, we can consider going up or down."
The current location of the six Players is on the mountainside. If the disaster is a flood, then the mountaintop is naturally the safest.
But if it's a landslide, then going to the valley bottom is naturally safer.
This involves the difficulty of survival later and is a decision that can almost affect Life and death.
Must be cautious.
After Zhao Qian finished speaking, everyone remained still except for Su Yida.
He looked at everyone in surprise, then turned around with a somewhat awkward expression and left.
The moment he turned and left, Cheng Shi looked at his restrained back and suddenly laughed.
Interesting, I actually met a colleague.
This person is not a person of existence at all, he is clearly a person of nothingness!
A Mage of Fraud, a Master of Illusions!
Among the six people present, except for himself, Tao Yi, and Cui Dingtian, who were opposing Fates, the others did not have opposing Fates present, so there was no need to avoid anything.
The Edict of Memory is to offer a piece of Memory to Him, no matter whose it is; the Edict of Time is precision and punctuality.
These two Edicts obviously do not need to be done secretly.
Personal privacy?
Edict habits?
No, in the current Time-sensitive situation, these are not necessary.
Furthermore, even the believer of prosperity didn't leave, so why would a believer of existence leave alone?
No wonder his first words were lies!
Because the Edict of Fraud is Fraud.
As for deceiving enemies or allies, it all depends on the profession and talent.
It's funny to say, the Edict of the Fate of existence does not rely on actual existing items, while the Edict of the Fate of nothingness all require praying to a specific God's relic.
The reason Su Yida left was probably to conceal his false face.
For believers of Fraud without the Lies Like Yesterday talent, how to disguise their Faith has always been a question worth pondering deeply.
However, most believers of Fraud encountered before would disguise themselves as believers of destiny, because in this way they only need to imitate a die, and the rest can be spouted with a glib tongue.
Then, when others are not paying attention, they can secretly switch the object of prayer to the hidden false face.
It is indeed rare for someone like Da Jiang from the demonic realm to disguise themselves as a believer of existence.
And there's a saying that goes: The more you talk, the more mistakes you make.
Players who believe in Fraud generally speak very little, and when they do, they will directly point out the Fraud.
Using talkativeness to hide one's true intentions and using chatter to distract others is indeed a clever trick, but the premise is that one must be able to control it.
Because this is a considerable burden on both mental power and spirit.
Speaking back to the Edict.
This colleague is probably holding some smooth little trick in his hand, which is why he is so careful and cautious.
Thinking of this, Cheng Shi became even more interested in him.
