Chapter 11: Devotees of the Divine and Gold Coins

Normally, after finishing lunch, the students would usually take a one-hour break.

But today was different.

Due to the blockade by the Black Armor Army, everyone was excitedly discussing and there was no one taking a nap.

"I just walked around the school gate earlier, but unfortunately, I didn't see any Black Armor soldiers."

"Maybe the Black Armor Army has already withdrawn."

"They haven't withdrawn! I heard that there are two soldiers guarding the security room and two soldiers patrolling around the school."

After listening for a while, Cheng Han felt that it was all meaningless chatter, so he decided to use his All-Knowing Eye for deduction.

An illusionary scene appeared before his eyes:

A large number of soldiers wearing black armor surrounded the textile factory, and all the workers had been evacuated.

On an empty space, there was a pile of things covered with black cloth, with one corner pulled open, revealing something hidden underneath - it was a small section of tentacles.

Based on the previous deduction, the Bloodhead Spider was an extremely twisted monster with many tentacles extending from its mouth.

There was no doubt that this was the killed Bloodhead Spider.

Next to it, there was a person in a black robe who coldly shouted, "Burn!"

Several soldiers responded in unison, "Yes!"

They raised their right arms together, each wearing a dark red metal glove on their right hand.

A faint red light suddenly lit up, enveloping the metal gloves.

Several fierce flame serpents burst out from the surface of the gloves, hitting the corpse from all directions, instantly turning it into a blazing bonfire.

After a moment, the illusion disappeared.

Proficiency increased by 2 points, reaching 49/1000.

Cheng Han felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. "It seems that the information I transmitted earlier helped the authorities successfully prevent a terrible disaster."

He muttered to himself, "Being able to spray flames with the help of props is interesting!"

At this moment, Qian Qingqing glanced at him a few times and suddenly asked, "Cheng Han, you've been daydreaming for a while, what are you thinking about?"

Cheng Han casually replied, "Nothing."

Qian Qingqing changed the topic, "I wonder how long the school closure will last. I hope we can go home today."

Cheng Han smiled and said, "We will definitely be able to go home."

He knew the result, so it was not difficult to deduce the conclusion based on the result.

Qian Qingqing blinked her beautiful eyes, "Why?"

Cheng Han replied without hesitation, "If I were the person in charge of the Black Armor Army and had to block the city for a long period of time, I would have informed the school to suspend classes from the beginning."

Qian Qingqing was convinced, "That makes sense."

Cheng Han added, "The Black Armor Army is very powerful. It has been half a day already, and they have most likely killed the monsters. Perhaps the blockade will be lifted soon."

A little girl chimed in, "I hope so."

Wen Jie, sitting in the back row, wanted to object, but he remembered being slapped in the face earlier and obediently kept quiet.

He had thought that the school might be in danger, but half a day had passed and the campus had been calm. Did it look like there was any danger?

Half an hour later.

The homeroom teacher, Yan Dongshan, walked in briskly and announced, "Dear students, the Black Armor Army has just withdrawn, and the school closure has been lifted."

There was a burst of small cheers in the classroom.

Everyone had a happy expression on their faces because no one wanted to be trapped in the school.

Qian Qingqing looked at Cheng Han and gave him a thumbs up, "Your prediction was so accurate!"

Cheng Han smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

Prediction?

This was originally a fact.

Wen Jie secretly felt fortunate that he didn't interrupt earlier, otherwise he would have been slapped in the face again.

After school.

As usual, Cheng Han held a silver coin and used his All-Knowing Eye.

The illusion lasted for a second and then disappeared.

A piece of information flashed by: "Proficiency +3, current proficiency is 52/1000, mental value is 8.3/13.4."

Cheng Han was surprised.

Since the Eye of Omniscience reached level 2, he had never gained proficiency from picking up money. Why did he gain 3 points of proficiency this time?

It's really strange!

Cheng Han recalled the premonition and speculated, "Most of the coins I picked up before were copper coins, and the rest were silver coins. Could this time be a gold coin?"

It's very likely!

He whistled excitedly, "Could it be that I did a good deed and this is a reward from heaven?"

Cheng Han rode his bicycle and spent nearly half an hour to reach the eastern suburbs of the city.

Compared to the city center, the density of buildings here was much lower.

The vegetation coverage was significantly higher, and there were many areas with intersecting farmland.

Looking at the dim sky and the dark forest, Cheng Han regretted a bit in his heart, "There are no street lights in the suburbs. What if something happens? I should have waited for a day off to come."

He muttered, "Forget it, since I'm already here, I might as well take a look."

Cheng Han continued to ride for hundreds of meters and saw a large area of overgrown wasteland with a small ditch winding through it.

He parked his bicycle by the road and walked along the ditch for dozens of meters, successfully finding a large stone.

According to the clue, the gold coin was lying in the mud next to the stone. Being so remote, it was probably buried for a long time and considered ownerless wealth.

And ownerless things, aren't they his property?

Excitedly squatting by the ditch, Cheng Han took out a small shovel from his backpack, ready to start digging. Suddenly, an illusion appeared before his eyes:

A small cluster of pitch-black mist, like ink, suddenly descended from the sky and instantly drilled into the soil of the ditch.

"Nite...sabas...anya...ka..."

A bizarre murmur sounded out of thin air.

Just hearing it alone made one feel suffocated, wishing to shout out loud.

Then, the illusion disappeared.

Obviously, the Eye of Omniscience had been passively triggered.

Proficiency increased by 4 points as a result.

Cheng Han was shocked, "This should be the power of a divine being, right?"

He never expected that the gold coin he found would be related to a divine being. This was truly extraordinary.

The textbook clearly stated that if ordinary people approached certain items related to divine beings, they would hear murmurs and their souls might be contaminated.

He quickly stood up and took several steps back in succession, and then quickly made a deduction, "Is there any danger?"

The result came immediately—the power contained within the gold coin was in a very mysterious state, and as long as he didn't directly touch it, there was no danger.

Cheng Han breathed a sigh of relief and naturally thought of a question, "Why did this gold coin appear here?"

He originally thought it was property accidentally lost by someone.

But now it seemed that it was definitely intentional.

Cheng Han pondered for a while and thought to himself, "If I'm not mistaken, this gold coin is definitely related to the textile factory incident.

"I personally changed the course of the plot and now I have a strong connection to it, so the success rate of deducing related matters is surprisingly high."

"I never predicted the gold coin before, but today I suddenly foresaw it, precisely because of this."

Cheng Han took a deep breath and silently said, "Deduce who left the coin."

The illusory scene appeared again:

In the darkness, a thin figure quickly appeared by the ditch, dropped a gold coin, and then quickly left.

The whole process took no more than three seconds.

After that, the illusion disappeared.

Cheng Han's expression became solemn, "It's just as I thought!"

He immediately understood everything, "A certain follower of a divine being secretly hid a coin as a backup, and then he participated in the textile factory incident and died at the hands of the Black Armor Army.

"Before dying, this person used some kind of mysterious technique to let the black mist escape the scene and travel a long distance, attaching itself to the gold coin."

"So finding this gold coin is actually inevitable!"
