【Memory】's secret!

When the Jesters followed Li Jingming to that smeared artwork, everyone realized that Long Wang's words were not false.

Think about it, in 【Memory】's Archive, there was actually a "【Deception】's Riddle" placed there. The fact that these two opposing faiths could coexist in this dusty corner already showed that it must involve a great deal.

"Actually a mask?"

The first to exclaim was Long Jing, and then the one who analyzed calmly was the Doctor.

"I can't imagine what kind of mask could serve as the key for 【Memory】 to seal His own memories. If there is one, I am more inclined to believe this is a deal made between 【Deception】 and Him. In that case, if 【Deception】 also has a mask..."

"I'm not sure if the God of Fun has one, but I know one person who happens to have a mask, and this mask's rank is sufficient."

As soon as Zhen Xin finished speaking, she met Li Jingming's sharp eyes looking back.

"Envoy Envoy Yu Xi!" several Jesters said in unison.

"Correct, it is Him. So as the person who knows that Lord best, Cheng Shi, aren't you going to express your opinion?"

"......"

This really couldn't be expressed.

Cheng Shi was numb. He could naturally think of what others could think of, but the problem was, Cheng Shi knew best what identity Envoy Envoy Yu Xi was. This 【Deception】 Messenger who had only just "come out of the full moon" couldn't possibly have any relation to the 【Memory】 seal here no matter how you calculated it.

If there really was a relation, the only one who could have a relation would be Kyn Laoer, who was a budding believer of 【Deception】.

But Kyn Laoer had never ascended to the divine seat to become a subordinate god of the God of Fun from beginning to end. This concerned the secrets of a true god; could it really have anything to do with him?

Cheng Shi frowned and immediately asked one person: Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's Lips.

However, Cheng Shi, who knew Brother Mouth too well, knew that asking like this definitely wouldn't get any results, so he changed his approach and asked Brother Mouth a question in his heart with an extremely cautious attitude:

"Brother Mouth, tell me quietly, did you betray the God of Fun and defect to 【Memory】?

Otherwise, why are there traces of you here in 【Memory】?"

This was a "groundless" move. Cheng Shi didn't even know if this matter had anything to do with Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's Lips, but he had already pinned the blame on the other party first.

Of course, Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's Lips wasn't a pushover either. It immediately returned the favor, but its response was no longer whispering in Cheng Shi's heart like before, but directly moving its mouth.

So everyone heard Cheng Shi say:

"·I only know that Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi lost a memory. As for what memory it was, He never said. Now it seems I finally know why He didn't want to say.

It turns out it's related to 【Memory】.

It seems the Lord's mask should be the key here!"

"!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up immediately.

Having a target made things easier to operate. After all, several Jesters still remembered who took away the Ear of Secret-Peeping in Sandlais, so those in the know looked at Cheng Shi, and those not in the know looked at Zhen Xin.

At this point, Zhen Xin naturally didn't need to pin the blame on Zhen Yi anymore, so she asked directly: "Is the thing still in your hands?"

"......"

Cheng Shi had bitter words he couldn't speak.

Seeing Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's Lips so readily agree to this matter, Cheng Shi felt he had been played again. He originally wanted to push it all away, pushing it all to the identity of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, but Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's Lips didn't seem prepared to let Cheng Shi go, instead continuing to output:

"·Yes, I am collecting masks for Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi. I already have three in my hand. Now only the eyes and nose are missing. So as long as we gather these two, I believe we can get a glimpse of the mystery within!"

"???"

No, Brother Mouth, are you for real?

Cheng Shi was shocked. For a moment, he didn't know whether Brother Mouth was on his side and started accelerating the fusion of the masks, or if it was using this matter as a pretext to fool him again. But overall, making this public had both pros and cons. Now that the situation couldn't be salvaged, it was better to just go with the flow and bring the search for the masks to the Jesters' table.

Hearing this, the first to be confused was Long Jing, because in his memory, the one who took away the Ear of Secret-Peeping was Zhen Yi.

"Isn't it you...?"

No one paid attention to this slow-witted acrobat. Zhen Xin looked at Cheng Shi thoughtfully, especially looking at Cheng Shi's mouth, and blinked meaningfully.

Li Jingming was stunned at first, and then asked suspiciously:

"I've heard a little about the tongue, and the ear can be considered witnessed with my own eyes, but I've never heard of the mouth. Cheng Shi, where did you find it?"

Where?

Isn't it a gift for everyone at the start of the game?

At this moment, Brother Mouth hid again. The helpless Cheng Shi had to say it was something Envoy Envoy Yu Xi had originally. He knew Long Wang wanted to use the position of the mouth to infer the possible locations where the mask fragments were scattered, but he really couldn't help.

"So He still retains a fragment. He can give the mask fragments to you; it seems you are indeed valued by Him.

But then again, do you know what the eyes and nose are called? Even providing a little relevant information would be good, otherwise searching blindly is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack, completely inefficient."

"I don't know, but I think 【Deception】's creations carry a bit of a fun flavor. I can only trouble everyone to pay more attention during daily trials, especially the History School. Zhen Xin, this work is yours."

Zhen Xin didn't refuse, but she was still very curious about what interesting memories a true god like 【Memory】 could have with a subordinate god. Also, does the God of Fun know about this lost memory?

If He knew there was a memory here that even 【Memory】 had sealed, would He personally create another mask to peek into the memory here?

Thinking of this, a trace of imperceptible sharp light flashed in Zhen Xin's eyes.

"Fate Weaver, since you already have three, why not take them out and try? What if the seal can be loosened by the fragments? Even if it's just a glimpse of a memory, our trip here would be worth it, right?"

In the spirit of a rigorous experimental attitude, the Doctor again proposed a new experiment.

However, Cheng Shi didn't want to conduct this experiment in front of everyone. The Tongue of Lying and the Ear of Secret-Peeping were fine, but how to put out Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's Lips?

Can't go up and kiss the wall in full view, right?

What would that become?

But if he didn't take out Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's Lips, these shrewd liars wouldn't know how to think of him again. A little bit of something wrong would be magnified into suspicion and thus lead to the ending. Once the matter of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's Lips fusing with himself was exposed...

That identity of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi would really have a problem.

Otherwise, how would you explain a Messenger's mask fragment fusing with a player?

Doesn't that equal explicitly saying you are Envoy Envoy Yu Xi?

So Cheng Shi shook his head and said seriously: "Every part has necessary storage rules. They are not on me right now."

Everyone frowned slightly, and Zhen Xin didn't believe it at all. She looked at Cheng Shi with a smile that wasn't a smile: "The Tongue of Lying wasn't this delicate when it was in Zhen Yi's hands."

Cheng Shi said off the cuff: "That's why it consumed a lot of divine power. In order to finally piece together the mask, I am nourishing it. You don't understand."

"......"

A "you don't understand" blocked everyone's mouths. Seeing that there would be no more gains today, Li Jingming knew it was time to go.

The group stood before the treasure vault door but couldn't enter, and the surrounding memory artworks couldn't be flipped through, so after discussing for a while, they left one after another.

Some things were not easy to communicate in 【Memory】's Archive, and the Bone Bell couldn't be rung there, otherwise if 【Memory】 sensed 【Death】 suddenly descending into His Archive, that wouldn't be a matter of shielding the gods' senses; that would be about to be personally engraved by 【Memory】...

This was too terrifying, so a group of liars slipped away, and they returned to the place of assembly.

Afterward, the Jesters had some discussions about the positions of the gods and their believers, exchanged some information they were missing, and even targeted several aids who could be developed into new Jesters.

But Cheng Shi just listened to these and didn't take them to heart. His mind was now entirely in 【Memory】's Archive, just thinking about when the Jester Assembly would end so he could sneak up and try again.

As for what to try, ahem, in short, it wouldn't be kissing the wall. ===== CHAPTER 1007 =====
