Chapter 1190

~7 min read 1,354 words

Gained nothing?

A "greedy lord" who gained nothing is undoubtedly a failure.

Cheng Shi couldn't accept his failure, so he comforted himself that at least he got a white eye from 【Foolishness】 in the trial just now...

Of course, this is a self-deprecating remark. As the player closest to the authority of greed in the universe, Cheng Shi could not possibly have gained nothing.

Don't forget, the cause of this trial was for him to collect clues about the Eye of Mockery. Even if he didn't find the Eye of Mockery, isn't it the same if the clues are in hand?

In this foolish act that lasted for hundreds of years, Skalt played the protagonist for most of the time, and only at this last moment of falling curtain did the maker Kandelert become the person behind the scenes of the maze.

It's a pity that he died, and it's even more a pity that Cheng Shi wasted an opportunity to ask the dead, so that he could no longer find the whereabouts of the Eye of Mockery from Kandelert's mouth.

But 【Death】 boss couldn't ask it out, what does it have to do with 【Memory】?

As long as Kandelert's corpse is in my hand, I'll just find Long Wang to search his memories!

That's right, Cheng Shi brought Kandelert's corpse out. This is the most direct clue to find the Eye of Mockery, and it is also the biggest gain for him to "win" this trial!

Now he only needs to find Long Wang, let this clown walking on the path of 【Memory】 look back at the other party's memories, and he can lock the position of the Eye of Mockery, and by the way, he can shake people to follow him, and perform a clown drama again for finding the mask fragments.

So after Cheng Shi returned to the rest area, he didn't stop for a second, didn't even go to study the 【Annihilation】 container in his hand, and immediately contacted Long Wang to meet him at the gathering place of the clowns.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that when he arrived at the gathering place, not only Long Wang was in the tomb group, but also squinty old Zhang.

This 【Death】 god-chosen was holding a shovel, leveling the soil for a certain tombstone.

Cheng Shi was stunned. Seeing that the tombstone was written with 【Memory】, he asked with a strange expression:

"Did you two have a conflict?

Why, old Zhang, are you preparing to bury Long Wang?"

Zhang Jizu squinted his eyes, swept his gaze over Long Wang and Cheng Shi who arrived one after another, shook his head, and said seriously:

"Tomb management is not an easy job. You have to pay attention to the state of the tomb group at any time, see if weeds have grown around the tombstone, whether the soil has become loose or softened, whether the inscription on the tombstone has been wiped or faded...

In short, every line has its own learning.

We two don't have any conflict, I just happened to run into you two while patrolling here."

"?"

Cheng Shi's face was even stranger. He pointed to the pile of soil under the 【Memory】 tombstone that almost looked like it had just been buried, and said happily:

"Old Zhang, I thought you just had small eyes, it turns out you really didn't wake up today?

This is the void, not your cemetery, where do the grass seeds, rainwater, and bear children come from? Except for the clowns meeting here, who would be bored enough to come up and destroy the tombstone here?"

Zhang Jizu finished knocking the last time, leveled the soil behind the tombstone, leaned on the shovel and asked himself:

"I'm also wondering, if there are really no bear children, who dug up the 【Memory】 tombstone?"

"..."

Cheng Shi's expression froze, his face was awkward.

Oh no, last time I was in a hurry to take the dream of the nightmare to find 【Memory】, and didn't backfill it after digging out the mirror.

So squinty old Zhang was scolding me by being sarcastic for a long time!

You squinty old Zhang, I haven't pursued you for letting me go, you actually hit me back with a rake, no, hit me back with a shovel!

This matter cannot be recognized. Even if the three people present know it well, they cannot poke this matter out in the open. The clown hiding behind the scenes is also laughable, but once the curtain is pulled open, the audience's laughter will be even louder!

My profession is just a clown, I can't be a real clown.

Cheng Shi "uh-huh" looked up at the sky, walked to Long Wang's side in three or two steps, poured out Kandelert's corpse from the molten coffin, stiffly changed the topic and said:

"Just as I said just now, he is the key to finding the Eye of Mockery. It's up to you, Long Wang, I think highly of you.

If you really find clues, I will make the decision to let old Zhang change 【Memory】 to a big monument as a reward."

"..."

Li Jingming was slightly stunned, always feeling that today's Cheng Shi was a bit like a certain bald player in his memory. He asked thoughtfully:

"Did you run into Chen Shu?"

The lethality of the two words "Chen Shu" was still too great. Cheng Shi closed his mouth in a second, his face stiff.

Li Jingming nodded:

"Looks like another unforgettable memory.

Interesting, let me see what exactly is hidden in this wise man's memory."

As he spoke, Li Jingming took out a page of the book and prepared to take action, but at this moment Cheng Shi suddenly interrupted him, suspiciously:

"That's not right, Long Wang.

Usually at this time, you would definitely exchange some memories with me, but why didn't you mention it at all this time?

Changing a big monument for 【Memory】 doesn't seem like a condition you can accept."

Li Jingming's face changed slightly, but soon he said lightly:

"I am more interested in the memory of finding the Eye of Mockery later. Besides, as clowns, isn't it normal to help each other?"

"Not normal, one hundred percent not normal!"

Cheng Shi pinched his chin, paced around Long Wang and looked at him, saying, "Clowns are what kind of people, you and I both know. Except for me, where is there any truth in the mouths of liars.

Oh~ I understand, you shouldn't be wanting to remember memories related to certain people, especially certain 【Silence】 believers, right?

Tsk tsk tsk, Long Wang, Long Wang, didn't expect your memory path to start being picky.

Why, Chen Shu as a 【Silence】 god-chosen, the most excellent ascetic in this world, is his memory worthless?"

"..."

Li Jingming was silent.

There were clearly only three people standing in the clown gathering place, but it was as if there was an invisible audience hiding somewhere peeping at them.

This strong sense of oppression was suffocating. Li Jingming lowered his eyes, looked at Kandelert's corpse and said faintly:

"Then you say it."

Cheng Shi was happy, he blurted out: "Then I will..."

Only said four words, and he closed his mouth again.

Just recalling Chen Shu's actions once was enough to be speechless, if he had to translate it to two clowns again... kill me.

For a time, the scene fell into silence again.

Cheng Shi looked at Li Jingming with an awkward expression, then looked at squinty old Zhang who also had an uncomfortable expression, sighed and said:

"They all say Long Wang never suffers a loss, I'm convinced, get to work."

Li Jingming shook his head and smiled, immediately pasted the book page on Kandelert's corpse. He pointed his two fingers at Kandelert's brow, and before long, his fingertips bloomed with countless blue 【Memory】 lights.

Those jumping rays of light circled and surged around one person and one corpse. Amidst the interlacing of light and shadow, Li Jingming entered meditation on the spot.

The memory traveler started a new journey of memories.
