Chapter 1187

~8 min read 1,521 words

Knowing but not speaking

Reality, a mountain peak in an unknown province.

A small wooden puppet was fiddling with its wooden arms and writing and drawing on the mud ground. What it wrote was not any kind of text in the real world or on the Continent of Hope, but a brand new font.

While writing, it read out loud:

"Cheng Shi, Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, an offering from 【Void】...

It's reasonable, but the offering of 【Void】 to 【*He】 will definitely not just be a newly promoted Messenger.

【Deception】 choosing him might be due to personality, full of randomness, but 【Fate】 also chose him, how should this be understood?

The two wills are diametrically opposed, but they converge and merge on the same person. This can only explain..."

The puppet pondered for a moment, and after repeatedly erasing some handwriting, wrote another line next to it:

"There is a will that is false.

So, between the appearance and essence of 【Void】, who is the true essence, and who is the false image that confuses people?

Judging from the recent explosion of 【Fate】 faith, 【Fate】's actions are clearly more deformed. They are in a hurry, but why does the 【Fate】 described in the mouths of new 【Fate】 believers have two images?

Are they distinguishing the source of faith in this way, or is there some other god impersonating 【Fate】 to fish in troubled waters?

Is it 【Deception】?

It doesn't seem so, 【Deception】's focus is not here.

【Foolishness】 once said 【Deception】 is about to find the answer, what is that answer?

Is it what 【Time】 is busy with, or... related to 【Foolishness】's authority?

Lacking conditions, unable to infer, it seems that I still need to have more contact with them.

Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, Envoy Envoy Yu Xi...

Since your benefactor is about to find the answer, then, are you also about to find the authority of my Lord?"

As it spoke, the puppet stopped its movements, looked at the distant mountains, sighed faintly, took out a few pages of paper from its portable space, tore them slowly, and sprinkled them down the mountain.

The mountain wind blew, and the paper scattered like snow.

Between the broken paper pages, words like "statue" and "eye" could be vaguely seen. The puppet stood in the rain of scattered paper, its eyeballs moving slightly.

"I found you in the trial, what did you find in the trial?

Eye...

I remember Zhen Yi once got a tongue that eats lies from Long Jing, and there was a legend of the Ear of Peeping Secrets circulating in Sandres... they are all facial features, could they be the same thing?

Related to 【Deception】, hmm? Mask?

So, did 【Foolishness】 lose to 【Deception】 long ago, and even lost the authority to them?

Then how could 【Deception】 not know where their authority is?

Oh, I understand.

【Memory】!

It seems they played a very key role in this.

In this way, they seem to have a past that they have all forgotten. Interesting, can 【Memory】 also forget memories?

Then where would they hide these secrets?

Is it 【Memory】's collection hall, or in that mask belonging to 【Deception】?

And what does that suspected mask have to do with Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's path to godhood?"

For a time, the puppet fell into deep thought.

Apart from the hunting wind, there was no other sound on the mountain peak.

Void, unknown location.

With a figure in heavy armor appearing here, there was finally movement in the quiet void.

The person who came was Qin Xin. He didn't expect that he had only sent Chen Shu out for a short time, and the other party had already found clues about Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, the Messenger of 【Deception】 involved in the God-making Project.

He was very surprised, but even more surprised was that in this meeting, the secret fire-passer who was usually slightly noisy became incomparably pious, standing in place and looking at himself with complex eyes, without saying a word.

Qin Xin was a little uneasy. To be honest, he was also afraid that this was Chen Shu waiting for the CD to hold a big move. He was afraid that his tired brain would accept an unbearable chatter symphony here, so he coughed twice, interrupted the other party's "energy storage," and asked as peacefully as possible:

"What did you find?"

At this time, Chen Shu was extremely conflicted.

When calling Qin Xin, he had already made up his mind not to tell Qin Xin the truth, only saying that his brother-in-law had a stable way to have an audience with Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, asking the fire-passer to get closer to his brother-in-law, and it would be best to absorb him in.

But when he saw Qin Xin's slightly tired face, he felt that it was not too much to let such a founder of fire-passing who endured and ran for the hope of humanity know about this.

Even if this violated some beliefs of the fire-passer, didn't Qin Xin still have the Reminiscence and Mourning in his hand?

At worst, understand the situation first to make a layout, and then forget the true identity of his brother-in-law. In this way, the fire-passer might be able to take fewer detours.

After all, knowing that Cheng Shi can see Envoy Envoy Yu Xi and Cheng Shi being Envoy Envoy Yu Xi are two completely different things. The former would waste a lot of manpower and material resources, while the latter only needs to revolve around his brother-in-law. He is good at this, and he believes his brother-in-law will also welcome him.

Therefore, Chen Shu was conflicted.

And because of this conflict, Qin Xin naturally knew that the other party had investigated something that he didn't know whether to say or not. He smiled lightly, patted Chen Shu on the shoulder, and said:

"You make me look at you with new eyes.

To be honest, Chen Shu, when I pulled you into the fire-passer, I wasn't sure if you were a qualified fire-passer.

Your childhood experience did move me, but that can only prove that your 'evil' has a reason, but it cannot prove whether you will have the original intention of guarding beauty as I expected.

Now it seems that you have already realized the true meaning of fire-passing.

When you hesitate, it proves that what you know in your heart cannot be told to me, so there is no need to be conflicted, just say what you should say.

What you retain is the beauty you want to guard, and it is also the motivation for us to keep passing the fire."

Qin Xin's words were earnest and heartwarming, but Chen Shu was still conflicted.

"Even if what I know is useful for the future fire-passing path?"

Qin Xin was stunned, then smiled:

"Remember, the fire in our hearts is passed down by every fire-passer voluntarily using their body as a torch, never borrowing fire from elsewhere or lighting a wild fire to borrow power.

Firewood that goes against the original intention is like wet wood. They won't make the fire burn more vigorously, only make the black smoke thicker and denser."

Chen Shu was silent again, and after a moment, he nodded heavily:

"I understand. I did find out where Envoy Envoy Yu Xi came from. All this news comes from my brother-in-law.

I think my brother-in-law is a good window to approach Envoy Envoy Yu Xi.

So I suggest that I keep contacting my brother-in-law and strive to pull him into the fire-passer."

"..."

Brother-in-law...

Qin Xin's forehead twitched, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "You mean, Cheng Shi knows of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's existence and understands how to find Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's traces?"

Chen Shu nodded solemnly:

"That's right, although I also know that the fire-passer shouldn't bring trouble to others, my brother-in-law and I are family after all. What trouble is there between family?

Now the only shortcoming in my plan is that I don't have the title of a fire-seeker. If you can give me a title of a fire-seeker, I think I will bring the most durable firewood to the fire-passer, no, the second one!

The first one is me."

"..."

Qin Xin's expression froze, he rubbed his forehead and said: "Let's not talk about Cheng Shi for now, let's talk about Envoy Envoy Yu Xi."

Not talking about my brother-in-law, how to talk about Envoy Envoy Yu Xi?

Chen Shu looked troubled, but soon told everything he knew, and this talk lasted for half a day.

There were clearly only two figures in the void, but Qin Xin always felt that he had held a "hearty" briefing with dozens of people.

Useful information was repeated over and over, but useless idle chatter was heard from beginning to end.

Listening to those irrelevant suggestions like "sister," "brother-in-law," "beauty trap," Qin Xin's head was as big as a bucket.

At this moment, he felt that he had looked at him with new eyes a bit too early.

Chen Shu was still that Chen Shu, never changed.
