Chapter 1203: True and False [Fate]

True and False 【Fate】

The Predestined Ones gathered at the gambling table again, only this time the focus shifted to the wood spirit.

Just looking at Cheng Shi's expression, one knew that there might be something fishy about the audience. Tao Yi carefully recalled everything that happened during the audience, trying her best to repeat the scenes in her memory word for word.

"I...... out of some selfishness, wanted to get close to 【Fate】."

She lowered her head, looking at no one, and didn't say that she initially wanted to get close to 【Fraud】, but 【Fraud】 had no response to this, so she settled for the next best thing and chose 【Fate】.

She knew 【Fate】 was a bit cold, so she didn't have expectations at first.

But she didn't expect that the casual prayer, which was like a wish, really attracted 【Fate】's gaze, pulling her into a brilliant starry sky.

Hearing this, Cheng Shi frowned and asked in confusion: "You mean, He summoned you under a starry sky? Are you sure it was a starry sky, not a void?"

Tao Yi nodded heavily:

"I'm sure.

Because His eyes were as beautiful as the starry sky.

He was indeed very cold, and even the first half was me asking for peace anxiously, until He asked me a question, asking why I wanted to get close to 【Fate】.

In front of a true god, I didn't dare to have any deception, so I told the truth."

Speaking to this point, Tao Yi paused, skipped the content of the truth, and continued:

"And then I saw Him smile, and those eyes suddenly became dreamy and charming.

The stars flickered endlessly, spiraling into a circle. I was attracted by that smile, couldn't help but look a few more times, and then fell into that spiral of confusion, becoming dizzy and falling directly into the void.

When I woke up again, I had already fused with 【Fate】.

I always thought that was His recognition of me, but now it seems......"

Tao Yi's expression changed, suddenly even more anxious than when she was meeting the god, "Could this be a scam, Little...... Cheng Shi?"

"?"

Cheng Shi ignored some strange titles, frowned, and fell into deep thought. On the contrary, Xiang Honglin beside him kept shaking her head:

"The location of the audience is decided by the god. I don't think there's any problem with this point, it's just that 【Fate】 is really very cold. Whether it's the audience or the Gods' Covenant Assembly, I have never seen Him smile."

Li Wufang immediately echoed: "Indeed, His coldness almost froze the void. I thought 【Fate】 was cold."

The denial from the two Predestined Ones made Tao Yi quite nervous. She wasn't sure if she had become a part of 【Fate】's layout, nor was she sure if this Predestined Assembly she participated in today could still be kept secret under His nose. She looked at Cheng Shi helplessly, but heard the blind woman beside her speak:

"I have seen......"

The blind woman's face didn't look good. She smiled bitterly, "But that gentle smile wasn't for me.

I think among everyone present, the only one who can make 【Fate】 bloom with a smile can only be you, Cheng Shi."

Cheng Shi's expression became tighter, clearly also thinking about this problem.

Although it was a bit arrogant to think so, he couldn't think of the reason for 【Fate】 to smile at Tao Yi.

Just because she recruited Xiang Honglin, so love me, love my dog?

No, if it was really like this, why didn't He smile directly at Xiang Honglin?

With Xiang Honglin's recognition of the Predestined Ones and piety to 【Fate】 at that time, this smile might have made the big cat fight for 【Fate】.

But He didn't. Instead, He chose an "irrelevant" wood spirit. Could it be that there was some connection to 【Fate】 on the wood spirit?

Cheng Shi looked at Tao Yi in confusion, only to see the other's eyelashes blinking wildly, her mood clearly not calm.

He first comforted Tao Yi for a while, and then looking at her appearance, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his brain, thinking of another possibility.

Was it really 【Fate】 who summoned Tao Yi?

Could it be the Fun God!?

After all, He was exactly the same as His sibling god, plus the disguise of 【Fraud】 authority. How could a player meeting a god for the first time distinguish between Them!

The problem was, if it was really 【Fraud】, what was He doing?

Seeing 【Fate】 not going crazy fast enough, so wanting to help the other side?

Tsk, don't say, He's like that.

But this also had a problem. Although there were many fun things, don't forget that the divergence of 【Nothingness】 was expanding. They were all racing against time, wanting to rush ahead of the other side to write down the ending they inclined to. Would the Fun God do this, wouldn't it make the cosmos completely head toward the established fact?

Or did He hide a hand in 【Fate】's established fact?

Were the bestowed faith and talent all 【Fraud】's disguise?

Cheng Shi couldn't figure it out. He felt that this matter was definitely not simple. It was best to ask the god in question directly, so as not to cause deeper misunderstandings in the subsequent layout of actions.

So he said to everyone:

"This matter does hide something fishy, but don't panic. I will verify it. Before I verify it, you can just treat it as 【Fate】 having a stroke."

"......"

"......"

"......"

"You have also seen that whether it is this era or this game, they are rapidly heading toward the end. And the closer to the ending, the more chaotic the situation will become.

If we want to get enough chips before the ending arrives, we also have to accelerate.

Wufang, after the gathering ends, come with me to a place. It's good to have a 'break' with 【Order】 about some things.

Xiang Honglin, keep a good state recently. I might need you to accompany me to the real universe."

"!!!"

Even the big cat's pupils shrank at this moment, shocked: "Why go there?"

"The gods of one's own home can't die outside, so this trip of ours is to pick up 【War】 and bring Him home."

"!!????"

The big cat froze, her scalp tingling.

"You want to pick up 【War】's remains? But He has clearly turned into flying ash."

"Not remains, but authority, which is the chip I mentioned!

With these chips, our situation will be a point better."

This sentence made the big cat gradually calm down. Fighting spirit and fear coexisted in her eyes. She looked at Tao Yi with a complex expression several times, and then responded heavily:

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Cheng Shi nodded: "I haven't found a way to go to the real universe yet. This journey might take a long time, but it cannot be avoided. You prepare as soon as possible.

As for the others, stay vigilant and feel 【Fate】.

When the weight of the shackles is still not concrete, it means the fetters of fate are far more terrifying than we imagine.

Since we chose to go against 【Fate】, we should have the consciousness to accept the baptism of suffering. I am not fear-mongering, because I don't know where the path chosen by the Predestined Ones will head.

But no matter where it belongs, that is the ending we wrote ourselves, an ending with flesh and blood, not a puppet-like curtain call.

So embrace fear, everyone. Fear is not terrible; it is the motivation for us to move forward, and the firm footprints we leave behind when we look back at the path we have walked."

The impassioned words seemed to have a kind of bewitching magic, making the few people who were just confused and terrified even more hot-blooded.

Seeing that the effect was reached, Cheng Shi wanted to end this small meeting and take Li Wufang to pry 【Order】's "legacy." But at this time, Li Wufang paused his steps and said to Cheng Shi:

"I still want to stay for a while."

"?" Cheng Shi was stunned, thoughtfully sweeping over others present, thinking about who this investigator wanted to have a post-meeting exchange with?

He didn't refuse, but smiled:

"That's fine. After leaving, pray to 【Chaos】. I'll wait for you there."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi left, leaving Li Wufang, who was stunned, with his mouth opening and closing, not recovering for a long time.

Isn't it to see 【Order】? Why pray to 【Chaos】?

Is this the so-called "piety to the extreme is blasphemy"?

So blaspheming to death is extreme piety!?

Li Wufang seemed to have realized.

After the blind woman exchanged with Xiang Honglin for a while, she also left the gathering place. Just as Xiang Honglin was about to take Tao Yi away, Li Wufang suddenly called them.

He looked at Tao Yi—that's right, it was Tao Yi, not Xiang Honglin—and said with a complex expression:

"Can I talk to you, wood spirit?"

Xiang Honglin was stunned, looking at Tao Yi in astonishment, only to see Tao Yi nod as if she had expected it, saying softly: "Okay."

The two walked to the depths of the darkness under Xiang Honglin's suspicious gaze. Tao Yi didn't speak until Li Wufang stopped, and then she asked faintly:

"Talk about what?"

Li Wufang smiled openly: "We are both Predestined Ones, so we don't need to be so defensive against each other. You should know what I'm here for. Don't forget, I'm an investigator, my five senses are very sharp, I noticed you staring at it for a long time."

As he spoke, he tugged at his leather jacket.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have seen the owner of this clothes too, right?"

Tao Yi pursed her lips, was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "Hmm, that's right, I have seen him." ===== CHAPTER 1204 =====
