Chapter 1117

The 【Deception】-Shaped Fire of Hope

"Your voice and build remind me of someone."

The candlelight person hangs down from the ceiling, drips onto the ground, and then burns back into a human shape.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be called...

Cheng Shi?

A Fate-Weaver."

"..."

Originally, Cheng Shi felt the other party didn't know him, and wanted to make up a fake identity to cover his tracks, at least not being so frank before figuring out the relationship between the Fire of Hope and the God of Fun.

Now it seems, it can't be hidden at all.

Since he has been recognized, he might as well admit it. After all, as fellow believers of 【Fate】, the other party shouldn't stab him in the back, right?

Besides, the "merit points" I've accumulated here at the Fire-Bearer's are enough; there's no reason for the return to be a backstab instead of a welcome.

So Cheng Shi nods and responds:

"Yes, I am Cheng Shi.

Is this... the Fire-Bearer's territory?"

The candlelight person curiously circles around Shadow Cheng Shi, observing while clicking his tongue:

"The new skin is not bad. Although the shadow color covers your face, imagining that face in my memory actually gives a sense of mystery that can't be described. No wonder there are always people who can't forget you.

But where did you get this black skin?

【Deception】's method?

Hmm, it's reasonable. He likes to tease people, especially His own believers.

Eh? I suddenly have an idea. After you go back, help me ask Him how I can become like this.

If flames can hide in the darkness, then the firelight might not attract covetous eyes from the outside world anymore. In this way, their fire-bearing can also be easier."

"..."

The jumping train of thought and the teasing tone make Cheng Shi feel a bit dazed for a moment. This thing must have been molded by 【Deception】 personally, right?

It has already become the shape of 【Deception】, and it can still be a subordinate god of 【Fate】?

I wouldn't believe it even if I died, unless the two of them hugged the wrong "child".

But the problem is 【Deception】 doesn't have "children" either. The only messenger known to many players, Foolish Play, was made up by himself...

Cheng Shi is a bit confused. He secretly asks Brother Mouth, but Brother Mouth remains silent.

I'm afraid this mouth has directly converted to 【Silence】. Fine, fine, fine. When I see the God of Fun again, I'll definitely report you.

Cheng Shi frowns, really unable to hold back the doubt in his heart, and asks curiously: "Are you really not created by 【Deception】?"

"?"

The candlelight person is stunned, the flames all over his body flash for a moment, and two flame eyebrows stand up, looking a bit angry.

"Fate-Weaver, if you came here specifically to anger me, then I admit you succeeded.

【Deception】's probing also succeeded. I am very weak now, and indeed unable to expel you, but just because I don't take action doesn't mean Xin-Xin won't.

If I call Qin Xin in..."

"You call."

Cheng Shi interrupts the other party's words in a strange tone, directly reaching out to make a gesture of invitation, and says happily, "I'd like to see if Qin Xin will drive away the 'benefactor' of his Fire-Bearer."

"..." The candlelight person pauses again, "He doesn't remember that you have done a favor for the Fire-Bearer."

"Then why haven't you called yet? If not, I'll help you call?"

Saying this, Cheng Shi puts his hands together by his mouth, pretending to shout. However, the other party's intervention he expected did not happen.

The candlelight person just stares at him with the same strange expression, the flame on his head swaying back and forth, saying faintly:

"Why did you stop shouting? Is there something on your mind?"

"..."

"..."

The scene falls into silence.

The first round of probing ends, and there are no winners on the scene.

Or perhaps everyone is a winner.

Cheng Shi draws a conclusion through the probing, which is that the explosion of 【Fate】 power in the memory junkyard was absolutely done by this Fire of Hope in front of him.

He had long sensed his arrival and personally dragged him out of the mirror.

His goal is himself; he doesn't want to expel him at all!

And all of this was done behind the Fire-Bearer's back, otherwise he would never have bluffed so much about whether Qin Xin would come in or not.

And the Fire of Hope also confirmed one thing again, which is that Cheng Shi does not want to have anything to do with the Fire-Bearer, at least not on the surface.

Although he had already understood the other party's attitude in the memories of the Fire-Bearers, people change. He must ensure that the current Cheng Shi is as firm as before, and now he is sure.

Cheng Shi is indeed a good target.

It's not that he was indeed aiming for Cheng Shi, but if you say the Fire of Hope had any plan before, that's not true either.

He just suddenly sensed the approach of strange fate, and then discovered Cheng Shi's tracks in the Mirror of No Remnant Dreams, so he fished him out.

The plan was made on the spot after fishing him out. The current fire-bearing is "thriving", but compared to the changes in the external environment, it is still too slow.

He doesn't think highly of the so-called god-making plan pushed by Qin Xin, so he can only take the field himself to push them.

However, his identity limits his own room for operation, so he can only find a proxy of will, and Cheng Shi, this player who is also a believer of 【Fate】, is undoubtedly a perfect choice.

He has kindness in his heart and does not reject helping the Fire-Bearer, but on the surface, he has nothing to do with the Fire-Bearer and will not be noticed. More importantly, he is also a dual believer of 【Nothingness】, leading other players by more than a notch in speculating on the will of 【Nothingness】. In this way, he can use the protection of 【Nothingness】 to walk between the two gods, creating more room for subsequent operations.

So the Fire of Hope took a fancy to Cheng Shi at a glance, and when Cheng Shi sensed that the other party's gaze began to become a bit expectant, the smile on his face froze instantly, and he stepped back:

"Is it too late for me to say I was just passing by?"

"Hehehe, it's too late." The candlelight person's whole body flames sway, extremely "arrogant".

"..."

No, brother, you laugh a bit like a villain.

Do you know that people who can make this kind of laughter generally don't live long?

Cheng Shi curls his lips. Seeing that the other party has no malice, he is too lazy to guess anything, simply making a look of being at the other party's disposal, letting the other party solve the mystery for him, so he can know what 【Deception】 is planning.

Or, what 【Fate】 is pushing again.

True, although this matter started with the God of Fun, it is not necessarily without the existence of the will of 【Fate】. Don't forget, 【Deception】 also once talked about the established, and thinking of the God of Fun's upward resistance, it is hard for Cheng Shi not to guess that 【Deception】's "pushing" of the established might be to borrow 【Fate】's established to express His rebellion to the Universe.

And that also means the prospects of the 【Nothingness】 offering do not seem to be bright.

Cheng Shi frowns slightly, looking at the candlelight person again. He feels that the Fire of Hope in front of him, who is a bit strange and can't recognize his own identity, is inexplicably a bit like himself. Both are puppet artists singing on stage under the control of the puppet strings in the hands of the gods above.

This sudden synchronization makes an idea rise in his heart. Seeing that the other party hasn't spoken yet, he says a step ahead:

"I always have a feeling that we have both been set up.

Little flame, can I trust you?"

"?"
