~9 min read 1,718 words

【Memory】 doesn't know memory

People will convulse when they are extremely afraid.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, Long Jing closed his eyes, twitched twice, and lay on the ground motionless.

If Cheng Shi hadn't been convinced that this move couldn't be escaped, he would have wanted to lie down too. But now, seeing the coldness in those eyes gathering, Cheng Shi's brain spun wildly. Before the true god could punish him, he hurriedly pushed the blame onto the God of Fun.

Can't not push it. The situation that could have been quibbled over was completely messed up by this fool Long Jing.

You are just a mortal, at best a high-score believer of 【Deception】, and you actually dared to say you treat 【Memory】's Archive as a back garden. Mouth-running is one thing, but don't say it in front of the owner. You ask the God of Fun if He dares to do this?

He really dares...

So Cheng Shi had to find Him to take the blame.

As for why he didn't use the other benefactor 【Time】 as an excuse... it's not that he didn't want to, but he couldn't.

The Jesters had just experienced a first test of trust. Cheng Shi couldn't just leave Zhen Xin behind right after the meeting adjourned. Don't forget, she is not a believer of 【Time】.

So this matter was unlucky in that as long as either Zhen Xin or Long Jing wasn't there, Cheng Shi could find a righteous excuse to muddle through. But now, the only one he could think of was the God of Fun.

"Great God of 【Memory】, please listen. This matter was all done by my Lord 【Deception】! It has nothing to do with us!

The three of us, as believers of 【Deception】, were gathering to discuss how to offer to Him. Although this scene is not liked by you, this is indeed the ultimate piety from the hearts of three mortals. I think the purpose of the 【Faith Game】 is to discover the piety in everyone's heart, so I don't think we are wrong.

The wrong one... is our benefactor.

Perhaps the joy brought by teasing followers is far more timely than waiting for offerings. In short, our gathering summoned the benefactor's gaze, and then He threw us into your archive and asked us to bring you a word..."

When Cheng Shi said this in one breath and even took out his mask for the sake of acting, Zhen Xin's gaze toward Cheng Shi changed.

It's hard to say if it was an appreciation for the clown's quibbling, or a shock at the Fate Weaver's nonsense. In short, she swallowed all the drafts she had prepared in one second and waited motionless for Cheng Shi to clear their names.

Although she didn't believe a single word Cheng Shi said, she always felt that Cheng Shi had a way to save them.

However, since even Zhen Xin didn't believe Cheng Shi's words, as one of the true gods sitting high on the sixteen divine seats, would 【Memory】 believe Cheng Shi's rhetoric?

Definitely not.

He wasn't prepared to believe these little liars protected by a big liar at all.

But He still didn't act immediately. Why?

Because the original intention of Cheng Shi saying these words was just that. He just threw out a bunch of words randomly, just to lead to the last sentence, and 【Memory】 also noticed the last sentence, so He really wanted to know what the so-called "bringing a word" actually brought.

Curiosity can not only kill a cat, but also slow down a god's sentencing.

Seeing that the effect was achieved, Cheng Shi put one hand behind his back, tightly snapping his fingers, his eyes solemn, and gritted his teeth, gambling on a big one.

"He asked us to tell you that you seem to have forgotten a memory about Him!"

"!!??"

What are you saying!?

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhen Xin and Long Jing were all shocked. Long Jing, lying on the ground, almost opened his eyes because he was so angry at Cheng Shi's self-exposure.

Caught red-handed is one thing, but how come the other party hasn't started the trial, and you directly and actively confessed all your past criminal records?

Are you afraid that the judgment from 【Existence】 isn't fierce enough or fair enough, Cheng Shi!?

Of course not!

Cheng Shi hates judgment the most, but this time he had to say so.

Judging from the only statement 【Memory】 made after catching him, this owner of the archive didn't mention the matter of the Jesters sneaking into the archive, but this was clearly their greatest crime. Why did the other party turn a blind eye?

No, it might not be that He turned a blind eye, but that He didn't "see" at all!

So Cheng Shi made a bold guess. He bet that as long as an outsider touched that memory self-sealed by 【Memory】, 【Memory】 wouldn't discover their "visit," or even automatically "forget" their visit.

And everything Cheng Shi did right now was to delay time, delay time to find a suitable opportunity to tell Zhen Xin and himself to go all out, and make a double insurance for this crazy guess.

And it was while telling 【Memory】 about his piety to 【Deception】 that Cheng Shi deliberately took out his mask. At first, Zhen Xin didn't realize what the mask represented, until Cheng Shi said so bluntly the memory that 【Memory】 had forgotten...

If such a hint couldn't be understood, then the Jesters couldn't talk about any tacit understanding.

The smart Zhen Xin understood Cheng Shi's idea for the first time, so at the very moment 【Memory】 fell into thought because of this suspected 【Deception】 joke, the two mortals under the god's eyelids moved!

Zhen Xin directly took out a golden poker and threw it in front of her, turning it into a golden door, and pushed the door open and walked in!

Cheng Shi was even simpler. With just a snap of his fingers, he transmitted himself back to the front of that "【Deception】's Riddle"!

And when the two of them met one after another in front of the sealed artwork, 【Memory】, who had interrupted His thought, had cold eyes, and then ignored the acrobat under His eyes, directly disappearing from the archive and coming to the void above the archive.

At this moment, He faced a pair of eyes that He hated to the extreme, and those eyes glanced meaningfully at everything in the archive, making an inexplicable light snort.

"Long time no see, why is 【Existence】 so polite, coming to welcome me personally?"

Those heavy historical eyes looked at 【Deception】 coldly:

"No matter what agreement you reached with 【Time】, you are not welcome here."

"Oh?

If you don't welcome me, why did you let my believers in?

Doing one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes is not bad. It seems that for the understanding of appearance and essence, one still has to look at you 【Existence】."

【Memory】 frowned, His gaze carefully swept over His archive, seemingly not finding anything wrong.

So He sighed long and said:

"Don't try to use your tricks to cover my eyes and ears. Some things I can let go once, but there will never be a second time.

Put away your thoughts. This has never been a playground for you to distort 【Existence】."

【Deception】's corners of eyes raised high, seemingly very satisfied with 【Memory】's reaction.

"It seems you are really forgetting. Hmm, very good, keep it up.

But you don't have to forget everything. Where is the authority of 【Foolishness】? If you remember, why not tell me, how about it?"

"Don't know what you are talking about!" 【Memory】 shook His head and casually hid the entire archive and His own figure in the void. He couldn't drive away the annoying flies, but He could choose to stay far away from the flies.

And when He saw 【Memory】 leave, those starry eyes swirled in a spiral for a long time, snorted and laughed:

"You little liars are too bold. Do you really think any memory in this world can be flipped through at will?

There is a reason for not letting the world know, naturally. A blind guess of a predetermined fate could scare you like that, if the real predetermined fate came...

Heh, this world is becoming more and more uninteresting."

Saying that, those eyes were about to leave this place, but somehow His figure paused, and then He blinked with a smile, finding a small skull as small as dust from the depths of the void.

That small skull was different from any skull under that Lord's seat, because its eye sockets were not two holes, but two slits!

As soon as the small skull appeared, it calmly reported to those starry eyes:

"Benefactor Lord, 【Death】 Benefactor summoned me and asked why there was an aura fluctuation suspected of His personal arrival beside me.

I dealt with it according to your instructions, but that Lord clearly didn't believe it. What should be done now?"

【Deception】 smiled, his eyeballs turned, and he had an idea:

"Next time, why not just tell Him directly? Otherwise, the old bones will nag me about abducting His believers again.

Ha, I can't wait to see Him jump with anger. Oh, right, He has no feet."

"......"

"You did well, keep working hard."

The small skull didn't have any joy because of 【Deception】's praise, but instead frowned tightly at that bone slit and asked solemnly:

"Benefactor Lord, if what Cheng Shi said is all true... then are you really destroying the world?"

"Why, do you think I lied to you?"

"...... Dare not."

"Pfft——

Dare not think or dare not say?

Little liars understand me, but it's a pity they don't understand the appearance of 【Void】, let alone the essence of 【Void】.

I am clearly saving the world, just like you stand my tombstone high but are still pious to me.

Rest assured, your little broken garden can't bury so many gods.

This world might still be saved."

Saying that, those eyes threw the silent small skull out of the void, and then His eyes condensed and gazed toward an unknown direction:

"But it's only perhaps..." ===== CHAPTER 1009 =====
