Chapter 1003

The Jesters' Desires

Zhang Jizu didn't feel embarrassed, and the others wouldn't either.

Or rather, when everyone saw that this Jester gathering place was filled with tombstones of gods, they had more or less guessed some of the thoughts of this 【Death】 chosen one.

For a 【Death】 believer, offering life to Him was piety, and Zhang Jizu's Nightmare Shadow had such piety; it had to be said, he deserved the gaze of that lord.

But whenever Cheng Shi thought of how such a pious old squinty Zhang answered his question about why he was alive with just "living," he understood a truth that went straight to the essence of the universe: piety to the extreme is blasphemy.

Sure enough, he was still too pious.

Perhaps because of the familiarity brought by frequent communication, just as Zhang Jizu was about to move his gaze away, Li Jingming pressed him down, smiled, and shook his head:

"We can't just have everyone look in the mirror and leave. Although this Nightmare Shadow belongs to everyone, it also integrates some of the mirror's own cognition and memories. I was able to confirm the identity of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi precisely because of this..."

"?"

Not brother, I don't even know who Envoy Envoy Yu Xi is, and the mirror confirmed it for me?

It seems this mirror also lies, tsk, what a "fraud" flavor.

But Cheng Shi would definitely not expose his own lie, so he continued to listen.

"... these memories are all intelligence."

"I don't object to 【Death】's protection being enough to give you an exemption from intelligence exchange at the Jester gathering, but... you are exempted, but your Nightmare Shadow has to say something, right?"

Zhang Jizu looked at his Nightmare Shadow without moving his gaze, his eyes slightly squinted: "I have the power to move my gaze away at any time, you all better ask cautiously."

This is agreement?

Cheng Shi's eyes turned, his bad intentions arose, and he asked a question before Long Wang: "Since it's just seeking to live, why must you bury everyone?"

However, the Nightmare Shadow in the mirror just glanced at him, sneered, and did not respond. Instead, old squinty Zhang himself spoke extremely calmly:

"The so-called 'you die, I live' means you all die, which is equivalent to me living longer."

"Exchanging personal longevity for offerings to the lord, I think this is still a kind of piety."

"?"

It's reasonable, but why is there also a flavor of 【Fraud】?

The Jester gathering is still too 【Fraud】.

Cheng Shi rolled his eyes. Long Wang ignored Cheng Shi's joke, looked at the Nightmare Shadow in the mirror with a serious face, and asked a strange question.

"Why do you lead there, is this a conspiracy of 【Corruption】, or a trick of 【Fraud】?"

Usually, Li Jingming wouldn't dare to ask this question, because he was afraid that his recklessness would attract the gaze of other gods, especially 【Corruption】.

But now, since this place shielded the sight and hearing of the gods, he didn't hide his curiosity about the secret hidden in this mirror at all.

But this sentence sounded too strange to others' ears, what conspiracy, what trick?

Isn't this a creation of 【Memory】? Even if it looks like it's been polluted by 【Corruption】, what does it have to do with 【Fraud】?

The Nightmare Shadow in the mirror squinted at Li Jingming and smiled gloomily:

"You let me out, I bury them, and then I'll tell you, how about it?"

"Or change the way, you come in, I bury you, and then carve what you want to know on your epitaph, to comfort your curiosity."

"..."

It sounds scary, but this level of harsh words has no threat to the Jesters. Old squinty Zhang even smiled and comforted Long Wang: "No need to ignore him, it's not his turn."

"?"

May I ask what you mean by this "turn"?

Were you possessed by Cheng Shi?

Is the infectivity of the Fate Weaver so strong?

Long Wang looked at Zhang Jizu with a strange face, and Zhang Jizu also silently moved his gaze away.

Asking further is just garbage time. Apart from burying people, this Nightmare Shadow probably won't say anything useful.

There were two people left at the scene, Cheng Shi naturally wouldn't rush to go, so the acrobat took the stage.

Long Jing moved horizontally to the mirror, letting Whispering Tide outline a "brand new" self, and that Nightmare Shadow version of President Gong appeared and issued an invitation to everyone with exaggerated movements and a strange smile:

"I know what you are looking for, let me out, I will take you there, how about it?"

"..."

The desire to perform is still full, it can be seen that in terms of wanting to be in the limelight, no matter which Long Jing it is, it is the same.

But obviously, the Long Jing in reality is more "subtle," at least after seeing such a straightforward self, he also had the idea of turning around and leaving.

Fortunately, Cheng Shi stabilized him at the first time, and looked at Long Jing in the mirror with a smile and asked: "Really?"

"Of course it's true, this is a heart-to-heart session, isn't it?" President Gong in the mirror bowed gracefully to Cheng Shi, but the crazy covetousness in his eyes could not be hidden.

Cheng Shi nodded in approval: "Indeed, I unilaterally agreed, but I still have to confirm with you, will you really take us to find 【*Him】, I mean..."

【Origin】!

It's not that I dare not say these two words, but I have the courage to make the mouth shape.

But when Cheng Shi "said" these two words, the Nightmare Shadow in the mirror shook all over, and all the smiles froze on his face.

It glared at Cheng Shi viciously, then its eyes turned to fear, and then it directly "popped" into black mist and dissipated on the mirror surface.

Whispering Tide seems to have... crashed.

Everyone was stunned, looking at each other. Cheng Shi scratched his head and looked at Long Wang, awkwardly: "Has this situation appeared before?"

Li Jingming's face turned black. Taking the mirror out was to bring you closer to the secret, not to let you tease the Nightmare Shadow. If this blocks the road to the 【Memory】 collection hall, who can I reason with?

He shook his head with an ugly face and walked close to the mirror to grope intently.

Seeing that the mirror had no reaction for a while, Zhen Xin hummed a laugh and said meaningfully to Cheng Shi:

"Good means, but I'm curious, how did you know that this could disperse the Nightmare Shadow?"

"???"

I know a fart.

Cheng Shi's mouth twitched slightly, thinking who knew this thing was so unable to be teased, but it's fine, maybe he dodged it this way.

He had shared so many secrets, there was no need to dissect his heart desires to show sincerity, right?

But the Nightmare Shadow's reaction was still worth thinking about. After all, it could be considered another Long Jing, so its fear of 【Origin】 was actually a reflection of Long Jing's inner fear. In this way, the acrobat having fear in his heart and still being able to appear here was indeed worthy of the redemption of Long Jing from another world.

And regardless of the purpose, overcoming the fear in one's heart is a thing worthy of praise.

So this President Gong indeed has merits.
