Chapter 1112: Bringing [Nightmare of the Other Dream, My Dream] to see [Deception]

~8 min read 1,547 words

Bringing 【Nightmare of the Other Dream, My Dream】 to see 【Deception】

Cheng Shi never dreamed that the one who summoned him was neither 【Deception】 nor 【Fate】, but...

【Chaos】!

Although 【Chaos】 is the God of Fun, this kind of thing of changing vests to summon has only happened once so far, and that was when 【Nothingness】 was fighting in a group last time.

Then this time?

Cheng Shi's heart sank. He felt that some things seemed to exceed his expectations. He looked up uneasily at the giant hand made of chaotic yellow fog in the middle of the temple, his expression wonderful:

"Benefactor, you two wouldn't... still be fighting, right?"

The giant hand's fingers fell one by one, tapping the fog rhythmically, and responded with a strange tone:

"Hmm~

Knowing that we are fighting, you still dare to blaspheme Him at this time?

I said why his divine power suddenly became violent. Are you afraid that I will win this 【Nothingness】 civil war?

You wouldn't expect him to be able to convey the Clown's heart of prayer while attacking me, would you?"

"......"

Cheng Shi's face collapsed.

Wrong, wrong, don't be sarcastic, Benefactor. I didn't expect you to fight for so long before I came.

What's the situation, a decisive battle?

You wouldn't want to solve all the oppositions in this battle, and whoever wins will listen to whoever in the future, right?

The chaotic giant hand seemed to see what Cheng Shi was thinking, waved away the fog in front of him, and sneered:

"Pfft—

Simple-minded, exactly the same as your Benefactor.

He does think so. 【Fate】 is already crazy. He probably knows that some things can no longer convince himself, so he wants to make an end with me.

Tsk, really think he is invincible because he is the master of the era?

This era has two masters. Besides, besides that 【Him】 outside the universe, what kind of master are the other masters?"

Can't convince himself?

What does 【Fate】 want to convince himself of?

Cheng Shi was full of question marks, puzzled: "Benefactor, didn't you and 【Time】 erase 【Fate】's memory about the real universe? Then why..."

"I'm not talking about this, and you don't need to know so clearly.

Remember to stay away from him recently. He has reached menopause and is very irritable.

Speak, why did you come to see me again?"

"I......"

Cheng Shi suddenly hesitated.

He thought this timing was too coincidental. He didn't know that 【Nothingness】 could fight for so long before coming. If he took out 【Nightmare of the Other Dream, My Dream】 to reflect the God of Fun now, what if something went wrong because of 【Memory】's power? Wouldn't the 【Deception】 main body fighting 【Fate】 have problems?

It was just this extra thought that left Cheng Shi stranded, unable to move. Finally, after thinking about it, he decided to find a random excuse to send the God of Fun away, and continue the original plan when the 【Deception】 main body summoned him.

But just as he opened his mouth to speak, the chaotic giant hand spoke first.

He forgot one thing: the God of Fun can read minds.

"Pfft—

For the sake of someone still being somewhat pious, take out your broken mirror."

"!!!!!"

Cheng Shi was shocked. He shuddered, looked up at his Benefactor, and his helpless expression looked so ridiculous.

At this moment, under the chaotic radiance, he was like a clown.

Although not a profession, it is better than a profession.

But a clown is a clown, and a clown has merits. At least he would never let the stage go cold, so Cheng Shi had a sudden inspiration and turned all the endless embarrassment into flattery.

"Praise the great God of 【Deception】, it is your selfless protection that allows all believers to follow piously!

If Long... Li Jingming knew that you could still spare a hand to save him while fighting with gods, he would definitely be very grateful."

"Oh? So, you brought this mirror to see me just to save another believer of mine?"

"Of course... 【111

"It is not!"

Cheng Shi straightened his expression and spouted nonsense with a straight face:

"Not entirely!

When I learned that this 【Memory】 creation had trapped your believer, I feared it was a dirty tactic used by 【Memory】 to deal with you. It utilized Li Jingming's greed for memories to set a trap; its goal could not possibly be its own believer, it could only be you, my Lord Benefactor!

That is why I sought an audience with you the moment I obtained the mirror, so that you could nip all conspiracies in the bud before they were even revealed.

This is what every devout 【Deception】 believer would do, and I have merely followed the devotion in my own heart; it is not worth mentioning, nor is it worth you... bestowing a reward for it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant hand collapsed with a boom, re-condensing into a pair of eyes mottled with chaos and the starry sky.

The corners of those eyes were tilted high, looking at Cheng Shi with a look that was not quite a smile.

"What, you still want a reward?

Could it be that some people think I don't know why he came?"

Cheng Shi shrank back a little and muttered in a low voice:

"I didn't think that...

But a god's bestowal is like a company's incentive mechanism; it truly can make believers work more efficiently and devoutly."

Immediately, he waved his hands as if he had made a slip of the tongue:

"Ah, Lord Benefactor, please don't misunderstand. I was just speaking from feeling, recalling a corporate management theory that exists in the real world."

The gaze of those eyes became increasingly playful. He stared at his believer and sneered again:

"That means you don't want it."

Cheng Shi blinked, changing the subject: "Lord Benefactor, you misunderstood. When I said 'I didn't think that' just now, I meant I didn't think that you didn't know why I came... as for the rest..."

He stole a glance at the God of Fun's expression, ready to trim his sails at any moment, but the God of Fun let out a cold snort, directly cutting off his thoughts and pushing the choice before him.

"Then do you want it, or do you not want it?"

???

No, there really is one?

Could it be that he's trying to scam me!?

Could this Mirror of Dreams and Nightmares be useful to the God of Fun? Otherwise, why would he have this attitude?

Cheng Shi was stunned. He failed the "should I be greedy" challenge in a second, squeezed out a devout fake smile, and said with a firm tone:

"I want it!"

"Heh—

Who exactly is the greedy one?"

As he spoke, those eyes blinked twice and directly took the Mirror of Dreams and Nightmares out of Cheng Shi's portable space. The moment he saw that mirror, Cheng Shi knew he was wrong.

Dead wrong!

How could he believe the words of the God of Fun?

How the hell is this a reward? Isn't this definitely a punishment!!

It is no wonder Cheng Shi thought this, because the Mirror of Dreams and Nightmares he saw floating in mid-air was now shining directly at him, and within that mirror, Li Jingming, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was watching him with a complex expression.

Cheng Shi wanted to speak, but he couldn't open his mouth; he could only listen to the Long Wang in the mirror say to him:

"I have thought of countless ways for you to come find me, but I never thought you would dare to face this mirror directly.

It seems I underestimated the importance of the Clown in your heart, and for that, I apologize. However, I think the secret within this mirror is enough to be worthy of your courage.

But I must warn you, the path inside is too complex; it is best to choose one direction and walk to the end, otherwise, you are very likely to get lost within it and never be able to return.

Remember, you must walk out, otherwise, even if I stand before the mirror again, I will absolutely not be able to see you."

As he spoke, the Long Wang in the mirror reached out a hand toward Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi's gaze tightened, and he instinctively wanted to retreat, but he discovered that not only could he not open his mouth, he couldn't even move. He could only watch as that hand passed straight through the mirror's surface and grabbed him!

The next second, in bewildered astonishment, everything in the mirror magnified rapidly before him, like a giant wave of 【Memory】, instantly swallowing him whole.

"Boom—"

The clown was gone.

Seeing the Mirror of Dreams and Nightmares swallow his believer, those eyes turned back into a muddy yellow giant hand, pinched the tiny mirror, and tossed it casually into the void.

"Mirror of Dreams and Nightmares... what a Mirror of Dreams and Nightmares.

Whose dream is this, and whose nightmare is it?

The clown is truly bold, wanting to use this thing to reflect me?

Heh, I dare to reflect, but...

Do they dare to look?"
