The Fool of the Gods

When a difficult problem has multiple solutions, people tend to look for the simplest one.

Little do they know that when they identify which solution is the simplest, they often increase the difficulty of the problem invisibly.

But Tarot can't find it, and the remaining two solutions are only Fang Jue and Mo Qiusi.

In terms of difficulty, Mo Qiusi is naturally easier than Fang Jue.

Since Fang Jue has been identified as a murderer, the current supervision of him by the Law Enforcement Bureau and the Grand Court must be the most strict.

It is almost impossible to meet him.

But Mo Qiusi is different. Even if his whereabouts are uncertain, as long as a key excuse is found, he can still bet on it.

And Cheng Shi already has an excuse. As long as this excuse is properly processed or exaggerated...

According to the thinking of ordinary people, they will probably try to meet Mo Qiusi first.

But Cheng Shi is not an ordinary person.

He gave up the plan to take the initiative to meet the above two people, changed his thinking, and let others come to him.

As for why he can let them come to him.

That is naturally...

【When fear comes】

Cheng Shi walked into an alley and took out the semi-artifact in his arms in the shadows.

The enchanting red light was still so eye-catching, and the breath of [death] and [defilement] flowed on the tip of the blade, which was so strong that it was shocking.

The matter was actually very simple. If someone in the town still died when the "real murderer" was arrested, it would mean that the real murderer who was arrested was not necessarily the real murderer, and at least there was another murderer at large.

Therefore, now we only need to find a lucky person to remove the suspicion of Fang Jue to a certain extent, and also stimulate Mo Qiusi's "passion" to continue chasing the murderer.

However, who should this lucky person be?

Cheng Shi wandered aimlessly on the streets of the town for a day with a sharp weapon in his arms, but still failed to choose a suitable target.

Until the moon was high in the sky, he returned to the outside of the inn and met the group of friends of the "bard" Athos at the door of the inn.

They were about to go out and move to other places.

Cheng Shi smiled knowingly.

Look, they are here, aren't they?

He quickly followed these people and listened to their sighs behind him.

"After the murderer was caught, the night became quiet. It's really boring."

"I miss the days when Athos was here. Although the stories he told were scary, they were at least interesting."

"I think you don't miss Athos, but his money."

"Hahaha, the same, alas, there is no big news to talk about, and drinking has lost some taste."

"......"

These drunkards who like to watch the fun don't care whether anyone dies or not. They only care whether they can have some fun drinking and chatting with others.

If other people were present, they would inevitably despise them.

But Cheng Shi wouldn't, he would only praise them silently in his heart:

Look, this is such a good group of target customers, even making people put away their murderous intentions.

He gathered his hood and covered his head, then took two quick steps, surpassed everyone, and stopped in front of everyone and looked back.

Several drunkards were startled by Cheng Shi's sudden stop in front of them. They stopped in confusion and asked:

"Hey, what are you doing? Don't block the road."

"Go away. I don't have money. Go to Athos. He has money."

"Who are you and what do you do?"

Cheng Shi's face was hidden in the shadow of the hood. He smiled and stretched out his hand from the sleeve of his robe.

He was holding something tightly in his hand, which was not clear in the dim moonlight.

Several people were not angry because of Cheng Shi's silence. On the contrary, they felt that his behavior was very interesting.

"What is this? What are you trying to sell?"

"Want to compete with us? Do you think you can beat five of us by yourself?"

"Hey, man, open your hand and see what's inside. If it's good stuff, I don't mind spending a little money to buy it."

I've been waiting for you to say this!

Cheng Shi raised the corner of his mouth and said mysteriously:

"Of course it's good stuff. I'm an alchemist. This is a new drug I developed. I named it 'Drunken Life and Dream Death'.

Just take one pill and you can immediately enter the 'dream death' state. From the outside, it looks exactly like real death, and even the heart will stop beating.

Even the judges of the Grand Court can't tell the difference between true and false.

But!

It's different from death, because in the 'dream death' state your five senses will not disappear. You can hear the sounds around you, feel the touch of others, and even, if you can 'die with your eyes open', you can see everything that your open eyes can see.

The effect of the drug lasts for 24 hours, and no external stimulation will break this state.Create a death, and then feel the panic of others.

How about, want one?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the breathing of the people in front of him suddenly become heavy.

The heartbeat as loud as a drum played an exciting chapter in the quiet night!

Heartbeat!

It's so fucking heartbeat!

For a group of drunkards who are looking for fun every day, this is simply a tailor-made magic medicine!

Indeed, it is tailor-made.

Cheng Shi just made it up.

The sacrifice to nothingness once again made a "sacrifice".

Originally, there were only a few sugar beans in Cheng Shi's palm, but when these drunkards looked at them with burning eyes and hot breath, the essence of the sugar beans changed dramatically.

"Drunkenness and dream of death", it was made.

"How much! ?"

"How much do you have?"

"Are you here alone? ”

?

Brother, your thoughts are very dangerous.

Even if I came here alone, what do you want?

Free purchase?

Sorry to disappoint you, I was going to sell it for free.

“Oh, if you are interested and willing to cooperate with me to test the medicine, these medicines can be given to you for free.”

“Free?”

“Really?”

“All for free?”

The eyes of several big men who wanted to grab them obviously dissipated a lot, and their eyes became hot.

“Of course.” Cheng Shi spread out his palms, revealing five of the medicines.

No more, no less, one for each person.

The moment the drunkards saw the medicine, they grabbed it without hesitation and swallowed it in one gulp.

Praise [Prosperity]. It is undoubtedly the greatest fun to experience death for a day in this town that will never die.

“How long will it take effect?”

“Immediately. "

As soon as the voice fell, the five strong men fell down one by one.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang."

The night returned to silence.

Their hearts stopped beating, and their body temperatures began to drop rapidly, like corpses.

Cheng Shi smiled and kicked the drunkards at his feet, pulling them to the nearby alley.

When he woke up tomorrow, the town would have another explosive news that would cause greater panic.

After doing all this, Cheng Shi strode back to the hotel.

As for all the traces of his presence on the street, he had never erased them from beginning to end.

Lying on the bed in the room, Cheng Shi stared at the ceiling, thinking silently:

"Come on, Mo Qiusi, see how quickly you can find me."

The third night.

Another sleepless night.

In the hotel, Cheng Shi was the only player left.
