In the holding cell, Song Shiyi turned on the recording on her phone and looked across the table.
“It’s okay to talk.”
Lin Zecheng, who was sitting across the table, shook his shoulders, not knowing if it was the cold or stiff muscles.
He wiped his face with his right hand, his eyes haggard.
Lin Zecheng picked up the paper cup on the table and took a sip of white water, “Regardless of whether I fail here or not, [Whistle Blower]’s next plan has already begun.”
“[Whistle Blower] never trusts anyone, He is very suspicious and has the same attitude towards all the gods.”
“Since I don’t have any results here, [Whistler] will target the fragmented world …… but I’m not sure of the exact time to do it.”
Song Shiyi frowned, “Under the boundary dimension restriction, the gods are unable to enter the fragmented world.”
“Not bad, the boundary dimension restriction. However, absolute perfection doesn’t exist, even the boundary dimension rules have tiny gaps.”
Lin Zecheng inhaled, “Can you give me a cigarette?”
“The confinement room is non-smoking.”
Song Shiyi handed him a piece of gum.
Lin Zecheng had no choice but to stuff the gum into his mouth and chew it with a hard drumming of his cheeks.
“However, I can help you apply for chewing tobacco for calming.” Song Shiyi added.
Lin Zecheng’s eyes clearly had a light in them, and he spoke faster, “[Whistle Blower] suspects that Jia Xiaokai either hid the key over here or in the previous fragmented world.”
“One would have to be in the fragmented world left behind by the Forest God to open the passage and enter the [Golden Wilderness].”
“The gods can’t enter a closed shard world, but the trainee gods can.”
Lin Zecheng spoke, “If one is a Trainee Deity, they will be able to pass the screening of the Fragmented World and use a one-way portal to send the idol into it.”
As if Song Shiyi thought of something, her pupils contracted slightly and her face had a few moments of surprise, “Descending in rank?”
“Right.”
Lin Zecheng nodded, “To my understanding, [Whistle Blower] will choose one or several gods, demote them to trainee gods, and use this method to send them into the forest fragment world. This way, they can stay over there for a long time and use it to search for the key.”
Song Shiyi questioned, “Demotion requires the overthrow of the civilisation that was previously built by the player, and destroying all the wonders …… equates to physiologically crippling the player.”
“[Whistle Blower] doesn’t care.”
Lin Zecheng said woodenly, “If it’s unacceptable, [Whistle Blower] doesn’t mind eating some of the gods.”
“……”
Song Shiyi remembered with a huff.
[Whistle Blower] was not human.
One could not understand the other party according to human behavioural patterns.
“Even a demoted God of the Gods is not something a new player can fight against.”
Lin Zecheng narrowed his eyes, “They would easily stand their ground and rely on faith props and battle treasures to quickly rule the surrounding area. Not to mention that they most likely still have apostles with quite a few faith reserves ……”
“Most likely, they’ve already passed by now.”
Song Shiyi looked at Lin Zecheng, “If that’s the case, why didn’t they do so before?”
“Because of the [Peeler].”
Lin Zecheng ran his hand over the back of his neck, “[Whistle Blower] and [Skin Peeler] are both vying for the key, and they’ve both made arrangements in the shard world.”
“[Whistler] has stationed a high-level hero there, just to watch out for [Skin Peeler].”
“[Skin Peeler] also built an altar in that world and lurked a special group of berserkers to counterbalance [Whistler].”
“These two title gods are jealous of each other, and the situation basically remains even, I guess.”
“Not long ago, all of [Whistler]’s believers over there were silenced, and the faith completely disappeared from that world. Immediately after that, the high-level heroes left behind by [Whistle Blower] also failed to respond, and the fire of faith completely disappeared ……”
He was tortured by the smoke and kept blinking his eyes, “I don’t know what happened over there, the gods all think it’s related to the [Golden Wilderness], and the [Whistle Blower] is definitely not going to let it go.”
“[Skin Peeler] is now caught in a divine war and can’t get away at all, so it’s also [Whistle Blower]’s best chance.”
Song Shiyi recalled what Jia Xiaokai had said.
The Forest God had downgraded his divine body and hidden it in one of the Shard Worlds.
Would it be in this Shardworld?
Even if He did survive there in a dimensional descending posture, He had lost all of His past. His life would begin anew, and he would no longer be the Forest God of old.
That said, it is somewhat similar to myself.
……
After the questioning process was over, Song Shiyi walked through the wall.
Outside was a white corridor with black iron doors fixed on both sides, with different names and numbers printed on them in white paint.
Song Shiyi stopped in front of one of the iron doors.
On the door was written: [0235 Yuan Lisa].
Song Shiyi gently touched her finger and pushed the door in.
At that moment, inside, Yuan Lisa was leaning against the wall in an upside-down position.
She was upside down and Song Shiyi was looking at each other, “Yo? Prosecutor Song is visiting, what’s the matter?”
“Wanted to ask you something.”
“……”
After hearing this, Yuan Lisa rose up in a lithe front flip.
She untied the towel tied around her neck and wiped the sweat from her forehead, “I don’t quite understand the situation you’re talking about.”
“[The Stripper] doesn’t care much for the Gods. But when it needs it, the gods must appear, or else He will find a reason to flay and sacrifice them ……”
“Right now, [The Flayer] is indeed caught in the quagmire of the God War, and has no time to worry about it for a short period of time. As for what’s happening in the Shard World, the only way to know is to enter there.”
Song Shiyi asked her, “I remember you said that you entered the forest shard world after failing the divine war and descending in rank right?”
“Got sneak attacked by a lizardman, that guy was pretty disgusting. Fighting head on, it was just 50-50 with me.”
Yuan Lisa couldn’t hide her resentment as soon as she talked about it.
“So, after falling from the crawl zone, you used a one-way portal to enter the Forest Fragment World as requested by [Flayer], and waited for orders inside?”
“That’s right, but it was stolen from the home by that newcomer. If it wasn’t for the [Stripper] trait that allowed me to have two idols, I would have almost guttered …… It’s just that this ability has caused the Faith income to be halved now, so there are pros and cons, I guess.”
Yuan Lisa snorted coldly, “Players nowadays, they are really getting more and more gutless, they just like to sneak and steal. Don’t even have the courage to do a face-to-face fight.”
“Understood.”
Song Shiyi nodded.
Lisa Yuan and Lin Zecheng’s confessions corroborated each other.
The [Whistle Blower] and the [Peeler] did indeed collude and fear each other in the Fragmented World, and both had the intention of sending out the Descending Gods.
However, Lisa Yuan, who was the first to lay out the plan, had made a mistake and got out early instead.
Song Shiyi was now a little worried.
Once the gods sent out by [Whistle Blower] passed through the portal and arrived over there.
That newcomer called Yao Shen was in a bad way.
……
In the Shard Pixel World, in an unusual forest in the grasslands of the Eastern Continent.
A grey stone statue stood quietly on the ground.
The stone statue looked like a large stone pier on the outside, except that it was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, making it look like a large mushroom carved out of stone.
Moss grew on the mushroom stone statue, as if it had been here for years.
A LV5 [Flaming Chicken] paced by the stone statue as it looked from side to side, having a few doubts about this thing. Obviously there was no such thing, when did it appear?
A tongue suddenly flew out of the stone statue and curled the blazing flaming chicken in one go.
The Flaming Chicken struggled desperately, its body igniting flames, but the other party wasn’t afraid of fire at all, and just easily ripped it into the stone statue without a trace. After that, the moss on the mushroom stone statue became a little thicker.
A silhouette slowly walked out from the stone statue.
It was covered in green moss, like a mass of silt that had congealed into a humanoid shape.
The top of the moss man’s head displayed: [Apostle LV20].
……
On the distant surface of the sea, there was also a grey stone statue slowly moving forward in the water.
Underneath the stone statue was a huge white creature.
The top of its head displayed: [Apostle LV22].
