Chapter 1198: Whose side are you on?

Whose side are you on?

Although Cheng Shi was looking at Li Wufang, his peripheral vision was never idle, always observing the reactions of others in the venue.

Xiang Honglin's reaction to Li Wufang's arrival wasn't big; after all, she was the one who notified him, so there was no sense of surprise.

The blind woman had a deep "connection" with Li Wufang; they had been in the same trial, and it was the 【Time】 trial that let the blind woman swap to this world.

On the contrary, Tao Yi was very strange. She clearly had no reaction when hearing Li Wufang's voice, but the moment she saw him, she widened her eyes sharply and tilted her head slightly to glance at Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi keenly captured this scene, always feeling that this wood spirit seemed to be hiding some secret unknown to everyone.

But he didn't expose it, instead greeting the investigator who was hesitating to step forward to hurry in.

Cheng Shi tapped the table and smiled meaningfully:

"Your roundabout approach is a blasphemy to both 【Fate】 and 【Order】.

Although blasphemy is also a kind of piety, I don't think you've reached that level yet.

We know you are very pious, but your piety is used in the wrong occasion. This is neither a hall for meeting gods, nor is there a need to show disguise to outsiders. This is the gathering of the Predestined Ones, the place closest to the 'essence' in this game.

Here, not just you......"

Cheng Shi smiled and looked around, "everyone doesn't need to wear any masks anymore. Just treat this as home, put down all scruples, put down all doubts, and let's have a sincere exchange.

Believers of 【Fraud】 always like to hold some heart-to-heart meetings, but we are different.

We are lucky people blessed by 【Fate】. What we exchange is not just our hearts, but also our lives."

As the words fell, Li Wufang had already walked through the gate clapping, finding an empty seat to sit down.

Seeing the cold atmosphere at the scene, he tilted his head to the hooded companion beside him like a warm-up: "Why aren't you clapping? Brother Cheng spoke so well."

This unintentional remark made the wood spirit's situation increasingly awkward. Cheng Shi also smiled and looked at her, amused:

"What, is the wood spirit not ready to remove the disguise yet?"

"What disguise?"

Xiang Honglin was stunned, glancing suspiciously at her best friend, only to see Tao Yi pursing her lips, placing her hands on the table like a student who had made a mistake.

As she lowered her head, the hoods around the round table...... disappeared with a "pop."

The effect of this "departure" was exactly the same as when some 【Fraud】 illusions shattered!

Xiang Honglin was shocked, and then she slammed her fist on the table. At this moment, no matter how slow she was, she realized that those hoods were all illusions. But why did the little fox have to create a bunch of illusions?

Just at this moment, Cheng Shi smiled, stood up, bowed slightly to the four people present, and placed his 【Fate】 dice on the table with two fingers.

"The Predestined Assembly, begins now.

The path taken and the path to go, all are predestined!"

The solemn posture instantly interrupted the big cat's mood. Although everyone at the scene had doubts, they still took out their own dice and followed Cheng Shi, reciting the most pious prayer of the Predestined Ones to 【Fate】.

But this scene looked awkward no matter how the big cat looked at it.

If Tao Yi hadn't told her that the Predestined Ones' gathering was like gathering to gamble, she might not have thought of this, but now looking at everyone placing their dice on the table, what difference was there from playing dice in a casino to guess big or small?

Even more fitting was that this round table happened to be a gambling table......

Everyone seemed to have noticed this point, looked at each other, and finally broke the silence, laughing out loud at the same time.

Xiang Honglin was laughing when she suddenly thought of something. Her smile faded, and she looked directly at Cheng Shi with a dark face and roared:

"Cheng Shi, what's going on!?

How did it just start?

Where are the Predestined Ones!?

Don't tell me there are only these five!

And one of these five was brought by me!"

"......"

Cheng Shi's smile stiffened. Before he could make up a few excuses, he heard Tao Yi beside Xiang Honglin lower her head and whisper, "Quality is better than quantity......"

"You still have the nerve to speak?"

Xiang Honglin grabbed Tao Yi's face with both hands, kneading it round and flat, gritting her teeth and saying, "You also know quality is better than quantity?

But do you know how I brought you up!?

I thought anyway, there are so many people, it wouldn't hurt to have one more, otherwise how could I be embarrassed to open my mouth to him!

You, on the other hand, are helping him lie and think you're justified, right? Tell me, when did you contact him, and who gave you the 【Fraud】 prop!"

The little fox wasn't stupid. Seeing that she was really going to be beaten, she surrendered in a second, directly hugging the big cat's arm, throwing the 【Fate】 dice in her hand onto the table, and explaining mumblingly:

"It's not a 【Fraud】 prop, it's a 【Fate】 talent, a talent bestowed upon me by 【Fate】, 'Character in the Play'.

I'm a screenwriter now, Baldy. Those illusions are all characters in my script."

"Pop!"

The big cat slammed her fist on Tao Yi's head, her face even darker.

"Don't call me Baldy outside!"

"The Fate Weaver said this is home."

"...... Whose side are you on!?" The big cat was anxious, directly picking up the little fox and throwing her toward Cheng Shi, saying unhappily, "Go over to him!"

Seeing the wood spirit instantly enlarge in his field of vision, Cheng Shi's expression became solemn. With a snap of his fingers, he changed his position to Li Wufang's side, and then, under Li Wufang's stunned gaze, watched Tao Yi fall to the ground.

"Bang—"

The scene fell into silence again. Even the blind woman with a face full of worry couldn't help but smile because of this happy friendship between best friends, but then she thought of something, restrained the arc of her mouth, and frowned again.

Seeing that the warm-up was almost done, Cheng Shi wanted to appease the big cat and start talking about business, but he didn't expect that the big cat who threw her best friend out hadn't calmed down yet. She turned to look at Cheng Shi and pointed:

"You asked me to call Mingyu, I called; you asked me to contact Wufang, I contacted.

Then where are the people you contacted!?

Where are those "them" you spoke of!

Cheng Shi, when you pulled me into the Predestined Ones, was there not a single person in this organization!?"

"......"

Now Cheng Shi panicked.

No, sister, if you have fire, vent it; if you have anger, scold it. Why are you starting to dig up old accounts?

However, the matter was far from over. Hearing this, Li Wufang suddenly realized and immediately added:

"Sister Xiang Honglin, when an organization has no people, it shouldn't be called an organization, because it doesn't exist yet."

"???"

No, brother, whose side are you on?

Cheng Shi looked at the investigator in shock, as if looking at a traitor.

Sure enough, 【Order】 doesn't have any good birds.

Hearing this, Xiang Honglin was even angrier, but fortunately, she knew this wasn't an occasion to let herself vent. Her steady view of the big picture made her calm down again, and she sat back with a cold snort.

Seeing her best friend's anger subside, the little fox sat back at the table secretly without a word. Everyone had different expressions, and the scene was "warm."

Cheng Shi hurriedly changed the subject, directing everyone's attention to the blind woman with a bad complexion.

"God-Chosen An, you've seen it too. There's no need to wear a mask here, nor is there a need to hide anything.

If you have any worries, why not say them out and let everyone help you come up with ideas.

Don't forget what the Predestined Ones are for. Before the final chapter of the world script arrives, there is no hurdle we cannot overcome."

An Mingyu's expression moved slightly. She didn't raise her head but looked at the table, fiddling with the 【Fate】 dice, still with a face full of worry:

"But what if the final chapter arrives early?"

"!!????"

With just this one sentence, the whole audience was shocked.

An Mingyu sat up straight, struggled for a long time, and still solemnly said what she knew.

"I occasionally had a feeling that the world seems to be being pulled into some abyss from which there is no return, so I made a prophecy about the future of this world.

And this......

is my answer."

As she spoke, she turned all 17 dice on the table to full points. ===== CHAPTER 1199 =====
