Chapter 1137: This scene is familiar
This scene is familiar
Cheng Shi's expression froze on his face.
His brain was spinning wildly, thinking about whether the other party had recovered her memory to "recognize relatives," or was testing him before recovering her memory!
Of course, there was a more terrifying possibility, which was that Ji Yue, after losing her memory, had joined the Fire-Passers again, and this new Fire-Passer, just like Fang Shiqing back then, had also chosen him!
Cheng Shi couldn't accept any of these three possibilities.
However, if it really was the third one, he wouldn't be too surprised that Ji Yue could join the Fire-Passers. After all, this Scholar of Erudition had already expounded her will that was infinitely close to the City Builder in the void.
After thinking for a long time without thinking of how to answer this question, Cheng Shi simply closed his mouth and didn't answer, only showing a puzzled expression. That demeanor was clearly asking:
You let Chen Shu leave just for this? What kind of ghost fire are you passing?
Ji Yue seemed to have expected Cheng Shi's reaction. She raised her hand and drew across her front, set up a barrier in the surroundings, smiled, and said:
"Why not come down and talk in detail?
I shouldn't be that scary, right?"
Sister, you are a bit scary now.
Cheng Shi curled his lips, jumped off the roof, looked at the time, and said: "Travel time is very precious, speak quickly if you have something to say."
Ji Yue shook her head and smiled lightly:
"You are resisting me, then you must understand what I just meant by 'passing the fire.'
That's right, you have kindness in your heart, naturally you can guess my purpose.
Then I won't beat around the bush."
As she spoke, Ji Yue's expression became serious:
"Gods descend to the world and bestow a 【Faith Game】.
It's called a game, but I am more inclined to think this is a drama.
They are high above, using faith as a line to manipulate the world, performing one puppet play after another on the stage, in order to approach their unknown purposes.
But since it's a play, naturally there are joys and sorrows, reunions and partings, but the joy is all theirs, while the sorrow and parting are all pressed on our heads.
Mortals cannot struggle, can only be manipulated, watching relatives and friends leave us... just like you said, we always have to do something for ourselves and our friends!
So Weaver of Fate, are you willing to be fish and meat forever?"
"......"
This scene is familiar.
At this moment, he didn't know that Ji Yue had definitely joined the Fire-Passers. He just didn't know who had absorbed her.
It couldn't be Fang Shiqing?
They shouldn't have memories. Could it be that something happened later that he didn't know about?
Although he thought a lot, Cheng Shi's response was quick. He almost answered in seconds:
"I am willing."
"???"
Ji Yue was stunned. Her emotions were interrupted for a moment. She looked at Cheng Shi in astonishment, examined him for a moment, and then laughed loudly.
"You are not willing!
The faster you answer, the more it shows that you are resisting approaching me, and the more so, the more it proves that you are not willing.
I understand the feeling of not being able to fight for it because of concerns, just like you saved so many people, but still claimed that you were just protecting yourself."
"I was just protecting myself." Cheng Shi's expression was strange.
"Is that so?
Then why are there so many people protecting themselves, others only think about protecting themselves, while you saved everyone in an experimental field?"
"......"
Cheng Shi was stunned. He was speechless by this question, and even at this moment, his cerebellum was a bit boiling.
No, sister, why is your angle of looking at problems so tricky?
Shouldn't it be that you need to explain after doing bad things? Why do I have to carry such a big "pot" after doing a good deed?
Heaven and earth conscience, if I didn't resist in that situation, Zain Gil would have slapped me to death. Could I not take action?
Besides, I was also for Zain Gil's knowledge and treasures that I sent it to Dolgode. How did I become a great philanthropist in your place?
The word "kindness" is not something anyone can lift.
Cheng Shi shook his head, feeling that he couldn't talk to Ji Yue anymore. He said "sick" and turned to leave, but was grabbed by Ji Yue by the arm.
This Fire-Passer looked at him with burning eyes and said:
"The kindness in people's hearts cannot be hidden.
I am confident that I am not as good as him in looking at people, but I am also sure that you are suitable for us.
Weaver of Fate, join us, let us be your backing, and help you clear your worries."
Cheng Shi sneered, turned back, and said:
"Do you know what my worries are, and you want to help me clear them? Your tone is big enough.
Fine, I'll give you a chance to prove it to me.
As long as you can clear my worries, I will agree to join you."
Ji Yue's eyes lit up, and just as she wanted to make some guarantees, she heard Cheng Shi continue:
"Kill 【Annihilation】, and I will go with you."
"......"
The smile on Ji Yue's face froze. She was stunned for a long time before confirming that Cheng Shi was not talking about the believer of 【Annihilation】 in this trial, but the god 【Annihilation】 Himself.
How can the Fire-Passers kill a true god!
If they could, then there would be no need to pass the fire, the sparks would have already started a prairie fire.
Seeing the other party's expression like this, Cheng Shi sneered again:
"Why, can't do it?
If you can't do it, why talk big? As everyone knows, the believers of 【Annihilation】 are hunting me down, and the root cause is that I have an irreconcilable hatred with 【Annihilation】.
Since you can't solve such concerns, don't bother me.
Besides, Scholar, you came to recruit me, is it for the City Defender, or the City Builder?"
"!!!"
Ji Yue's face changed greatly. Her eyes became cold in a second, and her fist clenched as if she was ready to take action at any time, but soon she realized that Cheng Shi had been lying to her all along, and the other party might have refused the Fire-Passers long ago.
She laughed and shook her head, and said with a bitter smile:
"So that's it, no wonder you would resist me so much when you heard about passing the fire.
Who has contacted you?
Fang Shiqing?
It probably can only be her. You might not believe it, but I came to recruit you actually for the City Defender.
Because I can see that the kindness in your heart is in guarding, not in attacking.
Although I am a Salary Seeker of the City Builder, I also can't refuse to pull a top player with kindness into our midst.
But now it seems, it was my wishful thinking..."
She let go of Cheng Shi's hand, but her eyes were still full of appreciation.
"You know the name of passing the fire, but you have never done anything to extinguish the fire. Although you are not a real Fire-Passer, you will be a friend of our Fire-Passers forever."
As she spoke, she actually bowed deeply to Cheng Shi.
When your attitude is tough, Cheng Shi will only be tougher, but if you play this set...
Cheng Shi glanced at the back of Ji Yue's neck who was bowing and saluting, hesitating whether to give the second Salary Seeker another hand knife.
But after thinking about it, he gave up. Ji Yue is not Fang Shiqing. If she didn't faint, he couldn't fight the Fire-Passers.
Ji Yue naturally didn't know that Cheng Shi was thinking about these dirty things. She still wanted to fight for it one last time, even if it was just a promise of an extra-budget quota, but when she raised her head again, where was Cheng Shi's figure in front of her.
Looking at the empty alley, Ji Yue couldn't laugh or cry.
"...... This Weaver of Fate, is truly interesting." ===== CHAPTER 1138 =====
