The Fool of the Gods

"Brother Mouth, you finally spoke. I thought you also ran away with Shadow."

Cheng Shi smiled like a little fox, like a villain who succeeded in his evil plan.

"·......"

"Why are you so quiet recently? Have you changed your mind to [Silence]?"

"·Don't talk nonsense. I just woke up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shi's hand touched his nose uncontrollably.

"?"

Cheng Shi blinked in confusion, then bent over and laughed wildly, laughing so hard that tears were about to flow out.

It turned out that the "Honest Clown" not only deceived himself, but also deceived the lips of foolish play. This is also...

It's fucking great!

"·......"

"Brother Mouth, why don't you speak again? Don't you like to lie anymore?"

"Brother Mouth, have you changed your personality?"

"Brother Mouth, are you still there?"

"Hello?"

The lips of foolish play returned to silence again, but Cheng Shi was extremely happy in his heart.

Sometimes he was afraid that his mouth would lose its function under [Fate], but now it seems that it has resisted the oppression of [Fate].

Not bad, at least he is not too lonely.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose again. He was feeling the state of his nose, hoping to be able to deceive people better by touching his nose in the remaining trial time.

But what he didn't expect was that the lips of foolish play suddenly said while he was touching his nose:

"·Fate cannot be resisted."

As soon as the voice fell, Cheng Shi's smile froze on his face.

He couldn't laugh anymore.

What does the mouth mean by this?

Is it true or false? Is it deliberately exploiting the loophole of the [Fraud] curse, or has it not triggered the effect of "Honest Clown".

What does it want to express, and what does it want to tell himself?

If this is an external dialogue, Cheng Shi will probably need to think for a moment, but for the lips of foolish play, he prefers to ask directly, although he knows that there is a high probability that there will be no response next.

"Brother Mouth, you are the mouth of a liar, not the mouth of a riddler. Can you explain it more clearly?"

Sure enough, the lips of foolish play no longer responded.

Okay, okay, you play like this, right? You must make me a clown, right!

Cheng Shixin had doubts that could not be solved, and he had to vent his anger on the only dead person at the scene.

He picked up the concentric dagger on the table again and prepared to write two words on the forehead of the Serius scholar who had calculated him:

Clown!

But just as he raised his hand, the next second, the wooden door of the room was pushed open from the outside.

A little girl with short hair running down her shoulders jumped in.

"Grandpa Serius, I brought you your favorite..."

The cheerful voice just started and stopped abruptly.

The little girl was stunned by everything in front of her. She watched Cheng Shi raise the dagger, the scholar with blood on his chest on the chair, and the familiar face with eyes wide open. With a "click", the bag in her hand fell to the ground.

Her jumping posture froze, and her happy smile froze.

Her eyes, which were crescent-shaped in the last second, were red in the next second, and two lines of tears flowed down. Joy and expectation suddenly turned into grief and sobbing.

Cheng Shi was also shocked, because he had not heard any sound outside the door before.

Looking at the innocent little girl crying in fear, he could only pull out a friendly smile and said awkwardly:

"If I say this is not me... do you believe it?"

"Woo... um, woo... believe it, I believe it."

The little girl sobbed and wiped her tears, picked up the bag that fell on the ground, turned around and closed the door, and then walked silently to Serius' side.

Just by looking at this set of actions, Cheng Shi knew that this little girl must be extraordinary.

Calm, steady, orderly, and fearless.

Even an adult would not be as calm as her when facing a suspect holding a bloody dagger. Apart from her personal qualities, the only reason Cheng Shi could think of was that he was wearing a set of armor of a punishment knight, which made the other party not so resistant and suspicious of himself.

But if she came here often, she should know that the punishment knight did not belong here.

"Did he... die in pain?"

"Sorry, I didn't see it.

When I rushed over, Mr. Serius was already dead. I only found this."

As he said, Cheng Shi rubbed his nose and shook the dagger in his hand.

"Then... did you see who killed him?"

"Well, I saw a yellow-haired male assassin and a death-defying prisoner wearing a prisoner helmet who broke out of the door. They looked panicked and had blood on their hands. I used thunder to attack that person.The yellow-haired assassin, but he turned into a pile of playing cards and disappeared.

As for the death-defying prisoner, he ran too fast and I couldn't catch him. "

The little girl wiped her tears again, her little hand folded on the old back of Serius's hand and cried for a long time, and then followed Cheng Shi's line of sight to look at the burnt playing cards on the ground.

"Players... I don't think I've heard of this ability from my grandfather. Thank you, I don't think I've seen you, may I ask who you are..."

"Grinde, little p... girl, my name is Grinde, a punishment knight who was buried under the rubble by the explosion but accidentally discovered the escape passage dug by the prisoners and accidentally fell in.

When I found this place, I found the escaped criminal, so I chased him, but...

Sorry, I'm a step late. "

The little girl pursed her lips tightly and looked at Cheng Shi. After looking at him for a while, she still chose to believe.

"Then Mr. Grinde, may I ask, do you know anyone who has the ability to turn into playing cards, even if you know where he belongs. "

"I'm sorry, girl. My knowledge is limited, but I think there are sufficient reasons behind every murder. Whoever doesn't want Mr. Serius to be alive is the most likely murderer."

The little girl lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly:

"You mean... the people from the Tower of Logic still found this place and killed Grandpa Serius?"

"Uh..." Cheng Shi was stunned and nodded, "Well, to be honest, I don't know everything here, but if the Tower of Logic you are talking about is the Tower of Logic I understand, then I can only say it is very likely.

Because the chairman of Erudite will not allow the scholars of the Tower of Logic to use the learned "truth" to serve others. They have enough means and sufficient reasons. "

"Well, thank you, thank you Mr. Grinde, but the Punishment Knight is not allowed to come down here. I suggest you leave immediately and explain the situation to Aunt Melina who is stationed at the door of the laboratory. She will help you leave here and return to your post. "

"You... let me go?"

"You don't want to leave? "

Hiss, interesting, it seems that this little girl knows a lot.

She dared to let him go without asking anything?

"I want to, Melina... OK, thank you, I'll leave first."

Cheng Shi turned around and left without hesitation, but the little girl behind him stopped him as soon as he raised his leg.

"That... Mr. Grinde, can you leave the murder weapon? I think the Iron Knights who come later may need it when investigating."

"..."

The little brat is quite sharp-eyed.

"Sorry, I forgot it because I was nervous." Cheng Shi put on a smile, pulled out a brand new scalpel from his sleeve, and then secretly stained a little blood on the concentric dagger, and put it on the table instead of the real murder weapon.

The little girl looked at him quietly without saying anything, but after he did all this, she suddenly asked:

"Why do you keep touching your nose?"

"Uh... I'm a little allergic to the air here, and I'm not feeling well. "Speaking of this, Cheng Shi touched the tip of his nose again.

It turned red, as red as a clown's nose.

"I apologize to you again, I think I should leave."

Speaking of this, Cheng Shi turned around and left, and this time the little girl did not stop him.

She looked at Cheng Shi's back with lingering eyes, and only closed her eyelids for Serius with sobs until Cheng Shi left the room.

"Grandpa Serius, why do you insist on leaving? Don't you like me anymore?

Woo woo woo..."

After a long time, the Iron Knights who were guarding this place finally "arrived late".

They still had leather hoods covering their faces on their heads. When they found that Serius in the workshop was dead, these knights were not too shocked. They just looked at the little girl beside Serius and whispered softly:

"You shouldn't be here. Something unpleasant happened here. Let us take you back, okay? "

The little girl had regained her composure, her eyes were no longer red, she looked straight at these indifferent Iron Knights, and said very seriously:

"It was the Tower of Logic that killed Grandpa Serius."

The leading knight frowned: "You are not injured, are you? You shouldn't let Melina guard the door, she should be guarding you."

"No, there is no Melina here, I'm saying: It was the Tower of Logic that killed Grandpa Serius."

"Mr. Serius is not dead, he is packing up the experimental materials in the office, I assure you, everything you see here is very likely a prank."

"I'm notFool, gentlemen knights, are you trying to say that the people from the Tower of Reason and Quality went through so much trouble to sneak in here just to set up a prank for me?

Do you think the great scholars of the Erudite Presidential Council are all fools? "

"Well, you are right, they are not fools, but why are you sure that it must be the people from the Tower of Reason and Quality who did it?"

"Because... I can't think of anyone else."

The knight couldn't help but laugh, but he quickly restrained his smile and nodded very seriously:

"We will investigate this matter seriously. Please rest assured that under the glory of the Supreme Judge, all sins will not be escaped."

The little girl still believed in the knight very much. She said "um" lightly and finally decided to leave.

The knights hurriedly made way.

"You two, take Lady Garusa back to Lord Kinlauer and make sure she is safe."

"Yes!"
