Chapter 1005: This is... [Memory]

~7 min read 1,290 words

This is... 【Memory】's Archive?

"Never mind these for now, the mirror has been looked into, what about the secret?"

In order to protect Big Cat, Cheng Shi had to bite the bullet and change the subject again. However, the Jesters were not so easily fooled. Seeing Cheng Shi change the subject repeatedly, they were already convinced in their hearts that this Fate Weaver might be the one in the know.

Fortunately, Cheng Shi's performance today was enough to win the Jesters' respect, so the group didn't pursue it further, but followed his gaze to look at Li Jingming together.

Li Jingming looked at Cheng Shi thoughtfully, turned the mirror to face away from the group, and then stroked the mirror frame, saying:

"Hand on the mirror frame, pause for a moment, recite 【Memory】's prayer, and everyone can enter that secret place with me.

To show that this matter has no risk, I will wait for everyone in front."

After speaking, Li Jingming recited the prayer softly and disappeared before everyone's eyes. Seeing this, the Jesters left behind were all speechless, looking at each other.

No, you Long Wang are a believer of 【Memory】, reciting 【Memory】 still has an excuse, but you... have you ever thought about what kind of people are present?

At a Jester Assembly themed on 【Deception】, every liar has to recite 【Memory】's prayer?

Are you afraid that the crime of blasphemy isn't heavy enough?

But no matter how heavy, it probably isn't as heavy as sitting on the gods' tombstones...

At this moment, several people seemed to understand Cheng Shi's intention in dressing this place up as a cemetery, and one by one, with strange expressions, they touched the mirror frame and followed Long Wang.

Zhen Xin stayed until the end. Seeing that the others had all left, she smiled and asked Cheng Shi:

"There shouldn't be a second Doctor here, right?"

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, knowing that Zhen Xin had something to say to him, so he eased the atmosphere and said:

"Who knows? Who knows how many slices the Doctor brought in? One being exposed doesn't mean the others are exposed too, right?"

Zhen Xin clearly didn't take Cheng Shi's words to heart. She chuckled, leaned close to Cheng Shi's ear, and without saying anything else, just said one name:

"Xiang Honglin?"

Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat, but he asked with a puzzled expression, not changing his face: "What's wrong with Xiang Honglin?"

Zhen Xin carefully observed Cheng Shi's reaction. After seeing no clues, she waved her hand and said:

"Xiang Honglin hasn't seen you for a long time, she asked me to say hello to you."

Cheng Shi rolled his eyes: "Do you guess I'll believe that? You stayed behind just to say this?"

Zhen Xin paused her steps, said "Oh," and turned around again, smiling:

"Have you seen each other recently? It seems it really is her."

After speaking, she didn't wait for Cheng Shi to say anything else and entered the mirror by blaspheming the God of Fun. Watching the other party leave so freely, Cheng Shi felt a headache.

Sure enough, it couldn't be hidden...

But even if it couldn't be hidden, it had to be "hidden," because if he didn't interrupt the Jesters' endless associations, perhaps it wouldn't even take an hour; in a few minutes, these shrewd liars would cast their eyes on Big Cat.

So Big Cat had long been exposed, it was just that his changing the subject made the Jesters stop and not continue to reveal it.

This matter seemed to have become an unspeakable secret among the Jesters. Everyone knew there was something fishy about Xiang Honglin, but because of Cheng Shi's "guarantee," they wouldn't pursue it further.

"Sigh, who can fool whom?"

Cheng Shi rubbed his forehead and also followed the others into the mirror.

And the moment he disappeared, a figure slowly appeared on the outskirts of the cemetery, looking at the Dream-Self Nightmare under the dim light in the center of the assembly, a trace of covetousness flashing in his eyes.

But he didn't act rashly, instead hiding quietly again.

And muttered to himself: "Did he discover me, or is he bluffing me?"

The dim light illuminated the half of the face under the hood. If someone were present, they would be able to see that this was clearly another... Wang Weijin.

It's hard to say what form 【Memory】's Archive actually takes, but in the eyes of mortals, the form most like it is a museum.

When Cheng Shi opened his eyes again, he found himself in a pure white space. Everything here was very similar to the infinitely changing 【Existence】 seen in the far distance in the Rift of 【Existence】, but more stable.

This space had no sky, no ground, and no boundaries, with various pure white high walls connecting top to bottom interspersed within. Hanging on the walls were "artworks" of various forms, making one know at a glance that these were the collection items He treasured.

"【Memory】's Archive!?"

Everyone was stunned. They never thought that one day they could come to a god's private land, let alone that this private land was 【Memory】's Archive, and they had come in the manner of a "【Deception】 tour group"...

Cheng Shi was amused. He looked at the leading Long Wang and said joyfully:

"I say Long Wang, it seems your piety is quite extreme too. Can we look at these memories?

Since they are placed here, they are for visitors to see, right?"

While he was still asking, Zhen Xin had already moved. This 【Deception】 divine selection chose an artwork nearby and observed the details in the painting in a way that was almost face-to-face.

But unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, what she saw was just an artwork in the eyes of a mortal. These scenes were like frozen historical miniatures. Except for the first frame which could be vaguely seen by everyone, the other content was completely invisible to mortals.

"No bugs to drill. Our power is too weak to activate the memories here.

But then again, is the power of 【Memory】 useful?"

Zhen Xin turned back and asked. Seeing Li Jingming striding forward to lead the way without paying attention to her, she knew that this Long Wang must have already tried, and it was useless.

So she followed the main force resentfully and sighed with Cheng Shi, who was falling behind.

"A pity, so many memories. If they could be moved back, they would probably be worth the workload of the History School for a lifetime."

Cheng Shi was also extremely envious. What he lacked most was historical knowledge, and here were all histories strictly selected by 【Memory】. He didn't dare to imagine how wonderful they could be.

But if you can't see through it, you can't see through it. Besides being envious, there was no other way.

Before long, Zhen Xin suddenly said again: "You say... if this place were destroyed, could we get an identity like Foolish Play from the God of Fun?"

"?"

Cheng Shi's smile froze on his face instantly. He looked at Zhen Xin suspiciously, only to see Zhen Xin sighing with lack of interest again.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not Zhen Yi, I'm just saying it casually.

You have to know, as the head of the History School, we are also very tired. If there is a cheating method, who wouldn't want to take a shortcut."

Cheng Shi pursed his lips and didn't comment, just rolled a die from his trouser leg when Zhen Xin wasn't paying attention, and then followed the tour group toward the place hiding the secret as if nothing had happened. ===== CHAPTER 1006 =====
