Chapter 1161

Benefactor, come quickly, 【Memory】 is not home

Cheng Shi, who had obtained the mirror in the Joker's gathering place, once again thought of the words the Long Wang had said:

The Black Long Wang is free.

He didn't know what kind of thing the Black Long Wang in this mirror was, to be able to leave the mirror and run away.

However, after obtaining the mirror again, Cheng Shi confirmed one thing: with the departure of the Black Long Wang, "That Dream My Nightmare" really seemed unable to reflect a person's inner desires anymore.

The current "That Dream My Nightmare" is less of a mirror and more of a door—a door that leads both to the 【Memory】 archive and to the Mirror of Unforgotten Dreams.

Cheng Shi gestured at the mirror for a long time, and after seeing no reflection, he curled his lip with regret. Originally, this was a pretty good "anti-Doctor tool." Now, it's great; if the Doctor does something arrogant again, probably no one will be able to discover him.

Cheng Shi didn't waste time. He touched the frame of the mirror, silently recited the 【Memory】 prayer in his heart, and ascended to the 【Memory】 archive again.

In this empty, deserted archive, he shouted without restraint:

"Great God of 【Memory】, I dare to come here to make a deal with you!

A deal concerning the most brilliant memory of this era.

I wonder if you are interested in this?"

The voice echoed, but no one responded.

Cheng Shi was slightly stunned and gathered his strength to shout again, but after a long time, except for his own echo, the archive remained as quiet as before.

The master here seemed to have ignored the "arrogance" of the intruder and left him alone.

No way!?

What's the situation?

Cheng Shi was dumbfounded.

Last time he came, 【Memory】 was eager to catch all the liars who broke in. This time, He just doesn't care?

I thought the principle of "stranger the first time, familiar the second" also applied to me, an uninvited guest. How did 【Memory】 adapt so quickly?

So tolerant...

Could it be that you've also been infected by 【Fate】?

Cheng Shi couldn't figure it out, but for the sake of that crucial vote, he had to wander around while continuing to call out loudly.

At this moment, perhaps he didn't even realize that in the eyes of others, he was just as noisy as Chen Shu was back then.

However, this noisiness was not only being endured by 【Memory】, but also by 【Time】.

Yes, 【Memory】 was not in His archive.

At this moment, those vicissitudinous eyes, which had settled the history of countless stars, were opening at the edge of the universe, looking at the eyes in front of Him that had turned into black holes, without saying a word.

And those black-hole eyes glanced at the "archive live stream" that 【Memory】 was showing Him, also remaining silent.

After a long time, 【Time】 finally couldn't stand the noisiness of His believer, sighed, cut off the "live stream," and asked without joy or sorrow:

"Why have you come here?"

【Memory】 chuckled, did not answer, but threw out a strange question:

"Does 【Existence】 have meaning?"

【Time】 looked gloomily at His sibling god, shook His head, and sighed: "If 【Existence】 itself begins to doubt its own meaning, then 【Existence】 truly has no meaning."

"Is this the reason you approached 【Deception】?"

"No, I am just answering your question."

"Avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial."

Although He had many misunderstandings about everything 【Time】 did, 【Memory】 did not break off relations with His sibling god like those two from 【Void】.

From beginning to end, even if He didn't agree with 【Time】, He had never stopped any of 【Time】's choices, because He had always felt that all 【Existence】 had its meaning.

He was just curious why His sibling god, who had always been closer to 【Origin】 than Himself, would stand on the opposite side of 【Origin】.

The traces left in the universe had long made Him realize that the universe had undergone a drastic change, but this change had been suppressed by some force.

【Void】 alone could not have this power to reverse everything; at least they could not overly influence 【Existence】, so 【Memory】 immediately thought of His sibling god, 【Time】.

This was also the reason He wanted to find that erased universe memory in Cheng Shi, because whether it was 【Void】 or 【Time】, their gazes were intertwined on this Joker.

Of course, 【Memory】 was not entirely for the sake of collecting that memory. In this matter, compared to regaining that lost memory, He wanted to know more about what these gods who attempted to stay away from 【Origin】 were trying to do.

So, He asked that question again.

"Approaching 【*Him】... is it not good?"

【Time】 is not 【Deception】 and would not lie with His eyes open. He shifted His gaze to look outside the universe, and after a long time, He said in a weary tone:

"How do you confirm what is approaching?"

【Memory】 was stunned and smiled: "Sure enough, after approaching 【Deception】, even your way of speaking is like His. Do you mean that what I do is moving away, and what you do is approaching?"

A trace of confusion rarely appeared in those black-hole eyes, flashing by, but it was still captured by 【Memory】.

"Perhaps, I don't know either."

【Memory】 frowned slightly, and a bold guess suddenly rose in His heart. He looked at His sibling god in astonishment and asked in disbelief:

"Who wants to replace 【*Him】?

You, or 【Deception】?

Or is it... 【Fate】, who pretends to be at odds with 【Deception】?"

"Replace 【Origin】?"

【Time】 gave two bitter laughs. "Who can replace 【*Him】, who dares to replace 【*Him】?

Even if someone must take His place, that person will definitely not be one of the gods present.

【Deception】 has some ideas, but His ideas are wrong.

【Fate】 is the one who is right; this universe... will eventually return to void."

After speaking, the time that had condensed into a black hole in the void dissipated instantly, as if all time had been sucked into the singularity.

【Memory】 stood frozen in place, savoring His sibling god's words for a long time, and left with a frown.

He appeared again behind that noisy Joker.

No matter how sharp Cheng Shi was, he couldn't possibly sense the approach of a True God. At this time, having wandered around for a few laps and being both tired and hoarse, he had long since lost his patience, and his shouting had become extremely blunt and blasphemous.

He changed his strategy, wanting to use words to provoke 【Memory】 to come out. He felt that with 【Memory】's obsession with memory, He could not possibly ignore this deal.

As long as He came out, he would have the confidence to get that vote.

So, such a voice echoed in the empty archive:

"【Memory】, come out and see me. I'll count to three. If you don't come, I'll call the Entertainment God."

But no sooner had the words fallen than he shouted "3" again, and then laughed "insidiously":

"Hehehe, you forced me to do this!

Do not distinguish between true and false, do not discuss reality and illusion.

Benefactor, there's no one home at 【Memory】's, come quickly!"

After speaking, Cheng Shi, who had walked into a dead end, turned around and looked back, and then he saw that boss's face close at hand.

The boss's eyes were cold, smiling yet not smiling:

"You keep counting; I'd like to see if He dares to come."

"！！！！!"

Cheng Shi was dumbfounded. His brain was blank, and his hand hanging by his side was pinching his thigh tightly, with only one voice in his heart:

Dead leg, don't shake!
