In This Kind of Game, Who Believes Whom?

Ah, yes, yes, yes, whatever you say is right.

Cheng Shi took back his ring and said to Meng Youfang with a smile:

"Brother Meng's will is firm, but it was I who was abrupt. Since that's the case, I can only return to my identity as a player and properly complete this trial."

"Please forget what I just said, Brother Meng. We are not old friends who met in the old era, but new teammates meeting for the first time."

Meng Youfang's eyes became more appreciative. He nodded continuously and patted Cheng Shi on the shoulder:

"Since you and I have confessed our identities, there is no need to be so distant. Only one point needs to be noted: all trials cannot be broken with external force."

"Your pretending to be a Messenger of 【Chaos】 can be counted as a trick, and I won't blame you for it, but you cannot use the power belonging to Envoy Envoy Yu Xi to lower the difficulty for me later."

"Otherwise, this trial will lose its flavor."

"..."

Although his heart was full of speechlessness, Cheng Shi still narrowed his eyes and smiled like a fox.

Where can you find such an easy-to-deceive victim? Look, the other party even wants to instruct himself to put away the power of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi.

Me?

Do I have it?

Regardless of whether I have it or not, I will definitely put it away cleanly.

Cheng Shi was overjoyed. Who said that a delusional person couldn't be a teammate? Under reasonable rhetoric, any power could be utilized.

In this world, there are only incompetent liars, not mouths that can't deceive people.

Meng Youfang didn't feel at all that he had been deceived. He was happy because he had found an old friend.

"Now, where should we go?"

"Don't look at me like that. This doesn't count as cheating. I treat you as a teammate, so you naturally have to use a player's mindset to face my questions."

"..."

Self-consistent delusional disorder is really scary...

Cheng Shi's smile stiffened for a moment, and then his eyes turned:

"To help the Scholarly Chair Association complete the experiment, we must first find the great scholars."

"Still the same saying, improve efficiency. Now there are people checking in the south and north of the city. Let's separate for a while and look for clues separately."

"You can sense time, remember to come back and meet me on time."

Meng Youfang was very satisfied with Cheng Shi's attitude of taking the trial so seriously. He nodded, left a sentence "I'm going to the east of the city," and then gave Cheng Shi a wink and left.

Cheng Shi watched the other party's departing figure, only feeling that it was not easy for the Shenming Society organization to still uphold the original intention of "worshipping gods" until now, at least they still felt they were human and knew the difference between humans and gods.

Look at this president, he was already terminally ill and almost incurable.

But what did that last wink mean? Was there anyone else at the scene?

Cheng Shi became vigilant. After not finding any problems for a long time, he changed his way, coughed lightly, and said:

"Time is limited, so let's not play hide-and-seek. Come out, speak directly if you have something to say."

As soon as the words fell, a figure walked out from the direction outside the laboratory with a smile.

Wei Zhi!

Originally, Cheng Shi thought it was Chen Yi, who didn't like 【Deception】 believers, who had chased after him, but he didn't expect it to be this fighting expert.

What, finished the snacks?

Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Zhi, waiting for an explanation. Wei Zhi looked around for a while and smiled: "Fate Weaver, I have come as agreed, bringing my thank-you gift."

As he spoke, he threw two white, fleshy... at Cheng Shi's feet.

Brains!??

Cheng Shi felt his brain explode.

"Don't tell me this is..."

"Exactly."

"As the carrier of wisdom, the brain has always been one of the objects that countless scholars bury their heads in studying. And the brains before you come from two great scholars of the Scholarly Chair Association."

"Chen Yi gave up the corpse that belonged to him. It's a waste, so I had to enjoy it for him."

"However, I kept the best parts. This is something that has never been put on an experimental table or dining table from ancient times to the present. I think this is enough to represent my sincerity, right?"

"..."

If this trial continues, Cheng Shi feels that he will also go crazy.

Is the brainwave frequency of these people really still on the human channel?

What will happen if I don't accept it? Will the fighting expert cook brain flowers in the next second?

Feeling Wei Zhi's expectant gaze, Cheng Shi frowned and decisively...

Accepted this thank-you gift.

He quickly moved the great scholars' brains into his portable space, and seeing this scene, Wei Zhi was stunned instead.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi asked back with a sneer: "What, isn't this what you wanted to send? Regret it?"

"Regret? No, no, no!"

"Hahaha, Meng Youfang is right. Cheng Shi, you are indeed a wonderful person."

Wei Zhi looked up and laughed. It seemed he appreciated Cheng Shi's actions very much: "Since the thank-you gift has been accepted, shouldn't you tell me where Zainjier is?"

"It's really interesting, why are you all so sure he is still alive?"

Wei Zhi nodded, smiling somewhat playfully: "He is indeed still alive. It's good that he is alive."

"..."

"Death is just a meaningless end. Only people without value will be abandoned."

"Zainjier entered the game with his body, stole authority from the gods to become a false god—this is already a feat. But he survived under the crushing of various forces and the anger of the gods... Do you know what this means?"

"This means that his brain doesn't just contain the accumulation of knowledge and the insights of experiments. Most importantly, he has experienced the process of a mortal transforming into a god!"

"【Truth】 is stepping on the shoulders of predecessors to look at the scenery further away. Countless scholars have followed one after another, and by chance, they piled up Zainjier as this huge 'climbing stone.' But if the descendants haven't had time to stand on it and take a look before it is destroyed, then... the person who destroys this stone will be the sinner who hinders this world from reaching 【Truth】!"

"Don't be excited, Fate Weaver. The sinner I'm talking about is not you, but 0221."

"He actually attempted to swallow Zainjier alone. It's really hateful..."

"However, everything is in the past. As long as Zainjier is still alive, I have the opportunity to taste... ask him for the enlightenment of becoming a god."

"How about it? Considering I have revealed my heart so much, can you tell me the answer, Fate Weaver?"

What you said makes sense, but you belittle that Lord so much, aren't you afraid of being invited to drink tea one day?

That Lord's heart is really not big, so you had better really not be afraid of death.

Cheng Shi looked at the other party with a strange expression and didn't respond, but instead asked another question:

"Have you found where the great scholars are?"

Wei Zhi frowned, and a trace of vigilance appeared in his eyes looking at Cheng Shi: "Fate Weaver, your evasion seems to tell me that you don't know Zainjier's whereabouts."

"Of course I know. Don't forget, Golis was summoned by me."

"It was you who said you wanted to exchange everything for Zainjier. What, regret it after asking one more question?"

"Wei Zhi, you wouldn't have failed to get any news from the great scholars' corpses, would you?"

Wei Zhi's face stagnated, and he said gloomily: "What I exchanged everything for was him as a person, not the news of where he is. Don't provoke me, Fate Weaver. I can stand here and have a trade with you, which is already very polite. I hope you..."

"What, want to do it?"

Cheng Shi sneered, threw out a scalpel, curled his lips, and raised his head at the other party:

"You can try. Perhaps this is one of the shortcuts for you to see him quickly?"

"..."

Wei Zhi's face changed several times, clearly suppressing the anger in his heart. After a long time, he took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "They are in the warehouse of the timber market in the west of the city. What is the answer I want?"

"Is this the answer obtained from the flesh and blood of the great scholars?"

"Exactly. Through the connection of the breath of 【Truth】, I can locate their position."

Cheng Shi frowned slightly, finding that the other party wasn't lying, but this segmentation, even a master of deception could only count as a reference, so his eyes turned, and he said again:

"Then why don't you go find them first, but come to find me? Aren't you very eager to become one with the great scholars?"

"I will naturally go, but not now, Fate Weaver. You wouldn't really not know Zainjier's whereabouts, would you?"

"On the divine pillar of 【Birth】." Cheng Shi smiled and blurted out casually.

"?" Wei Zhi was stunned, then his brows furrowed and he was furious, "You are fooling me?"

"Tsk, although I believe in 【Deception】, I never lie to people. You don't dare to verify it yourself, what are you yelling about here?"

"【Divine Pillar】 only connects the extinct ethnic groups. You tell me this is called Zainjier still alive?"

Cheng Shi spread his hands:

"I never said he was alive. It's you who insisted on thinking he was alive."

"The climbing stone of 【Truth】 might be useful to you, but to me, it's just a stumbling block on the side of the road."

"【Void】 doesn't need climbing, and there is no 【Truth】."

"I handed it to Golis. How He disposes of it has nothing to do with me."

"Besides, if you go to have an audience with 【Birth】 once, you will naturally know whether what I said is true or false."

"If He doesn't see you, um, I can help you introduce Him. Of course, regarding the introduction fee..."

"Hmph!" Wei Zhi snorted coldly, suddenly put away that angry expression, glanced at Cheng Shi meaningfully, and said, "I know your attitude, Fate Weaver. Don't regret it."

As he spoke, the fighting expert left. He didn't choose to fight a priest head-on.

Cheng Shi curled his lips, glanced at the direction of the west of the city again, and decisively chose to sweep in the opposite direction.
