The Fool of the Gods

Li Yi was silent, with a complicated expression.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Cheng Shi turned to Gao San and said, "Scholar, explain the experiment here?"

"......I said my mother is a warrior!"

"Oh? Your mother is a warrior, but it doesn't affect you being a scholar."

"......" Gao San's voice gritted his teeth again. He looked at Cheng Shi, then at Li Yi, "Who are you, who are you?"

Li Yi pondered for a moment and said:

"Don't worry, judging from the current situation, I am more inclined to believe that this is [Chaos] at work, and He may be affecting our cognition.

Brother Gao San should have the same talent as me as a master of deception. Although I can't pass your The master of deception proved himself, but Cheng Shi... could make my master of deception tell me that he is not me.

Don't ask me why the word order is: he, not, me...

Because no matter from the general rules or the experimental sequence, No. 1 is always the first one, even... the one that is copied.

So I think our status has nothing to do with these copies, and I can be 100% sure that my real surname is Li. "

Gao San tasted Li Yi's words, frowned, and said to Cheng Shi in a deep voice:

"Then your real surname is Cheng?"

Cheng Shi nodded: "It's true. "

The truth.

Gao San frowned and said in a deep voice:

"If that's the case, I probably understand.

Perhaps the experimental subjects here are all the same, but the replicas in our group of experiments have become the targets of the [Faith Game].

So, each of us became one of the replicas in the same group.

This situation seems to lead us to believe that we are just replicas of Li Yi, thus prompting us to plunder our identities through fighting like other prisoners, but...

Again, since the game was opened, there has never been a trial with confrontation as the main theme. Considering that this round is a [chaotic] ​​trial, I agree with Li Yi's point of view!

He is indeed affecting our cognition and confusing our concepts of each other, because He wants to make this trial more chaotic!

We... must stay awake."

Having said so, Gao San's attitude is still cautious.

Indeed, 5 and a half [frauds] are already chaotic enough. If there is another one like this, it will be too [chaotic]...

But are Li Yi and Gao San's inferences really correct?

Cheng Shi was suspicious, and suddenly a different idea came into his mind, which even scared himself, but this absurd idea quickly dissipated.

Scaring yourself is not a good habit.

So he shook his head and laughed, and asked again tentatively:

"So, I'm not Li Yi?"

"Cheng Shi, you know who you are, no need to pretend.

Under the master of deception, you can't lie.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can see the clues. If, I mean if, you are my experimental replica, how could you be stronger than me?"

"Maybe you are hiding your abilities?" Cheng Shi asked back with interest, "Who knows if you are playing tricks on us, don't magicians like to play tricks on the audience?"

"No need to test, you can 'condescend' to cooperate with me, which means that my life is still in your hands so far.

Although the mouse cage is gone, another invisible cage is probably covered on me a long time ago. Am I right, Cheng Shi?"

"......"

The guess is quite right.

Cheng Shi curled his lips and continued to ask: "Is there a possibility that you are all my experimental copies?"

"Impossible!" Before Li Yi spoke, Gao San was anxious. His answer was decisive, "I know who I am. You and I have nothing in common, except... we are both liars."

"Tsk, so ruthless, then let's just be ourselves. In this case, cooperation...

Continue?"

Gao San did not respond, but his attitude was clear at a glance. Li Yi nodded and pointed to the depths of the laboratory.

"This hidden laboratory is weird. I don't believe that we can't attract any attention with such a big movement.

Maybe someone has been waiting for us in the depths of that laboratory, so, let's keep going, my teammates?"

Cheng Shi smiled, stepped back, stretched out his hand, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Old rules, soldiers go first."

Gao San's eyelids jumped, and he was a little angry. He squeezed out a few words from his mouth:

"When did it become an old rule? And, wasn't I a scholar just now?"

"You are a soldier, your mother is a scholar, the rules have just been established, is there any problem?"

"....."

Hu——Hu——

If I hadn't been defeated...

Gao San took two deep breaths before suppressing the urge to tear his face apart, and walked towards the depths without saying a word.

Cheng Shi waited for Li Yi to catch up without moving. Li Yi put away his dagger poker and followed Gao San carefully until the two walked far enough away. Cheng Shi then stopped his posture, looked around and followed silently at the end.

The road leading to the depths of the experiment was very long. Gao San walked for a long time with trepidation. When an ordinary wooden door finally appeared in his field of vision, his extremely tense heartstrings tightened another three points.

"Be careful, ahead..."

Before he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from somewhere to the right of the three people.

"Bang! "

"Swish--"

Something was broken.

Then, the yellow-green liquid flowed from the ground between several experimental petri dishes.

Cheng Shi's nerves tightened, and he immediately held the scalpel in his hand, hunched his back and crouched, ready to go.

Magician Li Yi instantly conjured a glowing poker out of thin air, and threw it casually. A glittering butterfly emerged from the poker and flew towards the place where the sound came from with its wings flashing.

The sound-seeking butterfly, Cheng Shi had seen it in his monthly settlement at the end of the ladder. It is a B-level creature of the Island of Hope. When it flaps its wings, the glittering powder it spreads will reproduce the scene it sees in the air.

Because this kind of butterfly likes to fly by sound, it is usually used for reconnaissance and search for enemies in repressive battlefields.

Gao San also reacted immediately. He did not take a defensive posture, but took advantage of Cheng Shi and Li Yi's pause. The moment he took a step, he ran towards the wooden door.

At this moment, when Cheng Shi frowned and wondered whether he should use [Thunder Judgment] to solve a variable for the senior high school student, a heavy cough came from the side.

Cheng Shi's heart tightened and he turned back immediately.

Then he and Li Yi saw a pool of yellow-green liquid not far away, and an old man with silver hair slowly walked out.

There was no need for the sound-seeking butterfly to explore, the person who made the noise had already stood up!

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank and he recognized his identity.

Serius, a great scholar from the Life Extension Department of the Tower of Logic, the real boss of this underground laboratory.

"Ahem... Sorry, I'm a little clumsy because of my age, and I broke the culture dish, but it doesn't matter, these liquids are not volatile toxins, so there's no need to be nervous."

He smiled and walked towards Cheng Shi and Li Yi, but after just a few steps, Li Yi stopped him with an extremely serious face.

"Don't come over, or I'll do it. "

As he said this, Li Yi punched the experimental device beside him.

However, the experimental device hidden behind the black cloth only made a muffled "bang" sound and then there was no response.

"I am very curious, Mr. Serius, how did you break such a solid experimental glass?"

Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows and quietly raised his hand with a ring.

"I was just checking the status of the experimental materials, but I accidentally pressed the wrong button..."

"Enough, there is no need to say such a lame excuse. I just carefully observed these culture dishes. There is no external interface or control button on the glass. Who are you?

What do you want to do?"

"Haha, young man, you know me, know my name, and know that I am a scholar here, so why do you ask these meaningless nonsense?

What's more, this is my laboratory. Even if I have to ask, I should ask you.

You shouldn't be here, especially with the 'gladiator mask' I made on your head... "

What is the fight?"

Cheng Shi touched his prison helmet in astonishment, and laughed in his heart.

How come everything can be called a mask now? If so, wouldn't he have surpassed the two-faced man and become a three-faced man?

Not impossible.

Ha, that's great. A liar should have enough masks.

...

At the same time, on the other side.

When Gao San rushed into the room, he immediately turned around and closed the door, and stood close to the wall to prevent Cheng Shi from using the terrifying thunder behind him again.

But he waited for a long time and didn't hear the sound of chasing, so he breathed a sigh of relief and began to look around the extremely dark room nervously.

However, just as he was about to grope forward, the lights came on.

A beam of warm light hit the experimental table not far away. A silver-haired old man opposite the experimental table slowly raised his head, looked at the uninvited guest, and smiled kindly.

"It seems that there are guests in the laboratory, um, andThis is a guest who shouldn't be here."

Gao San was shocked when he saw the old man for the first time, because he had seen this old man before, or rather, he had seen this scholar before.

"It's you!

Cerius!"

...
