"You don't welcome me?"

"Should I welcome you?"

"You should welcome me."

"I don't welcome you."

Cheng Shi stared at the person in front of him for a long time, until the other party shrugged helplessly and rubbed his nose red, his solemn expression finally eased, and he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"You are very tired. It seems the road ahead is not easy to walk."

The visitor smiled:

"That is my road, not yours."

"The scattered state of 【Existence】, right? Hmm, not bad. So, tell me......

Which state of me are you exactly?

Cheng Shi!"

Cheng Shi looked at the other party with burning eyes. Following his gaze, standing in front of him was none other than......

Cheng Shi!

Another Cheng Shi!

A Cheng Shi who didn't know where or when he came from......!

This Cheng Shi was 90% similar to the current Cheng Shi, but his complexion was more weathered, and his temperament was more refined.

Time had carved marks on his skin, and every texture and grain seemed to contain hardships and difficulties that ordinary people couldn't understand.

There was a terrifying scar on his neck, extending from his collarbone straight to behind his ear, hideous like a centipede twisting crazily, terrifying and shocking.

His left shoulder was sunken by three points, making the clothing that could have shown a perfect posture wrinkle into a ball, losing the beauty of symmetry.

His right hand trembled uncontrollably, his leg looked a bit lame, and there was almost no complete place on his whole body, but only those eyes!

Only those eyes were still bright!

At this very moment, those deceitful eyes that should have been filled with lies, mockery, teasing, and disdain were filled with sincerity, nostalgia, memories, and calmness!

He looked at Cheng Shi and smiled brightly.

"If you have to ask like this, I probably can't answer, because I don't know where I came from either.

Perhaps, it is your past, or perhaps, it is your future.

You know, this depends on how 【They】 define it."

Cheng Shi's gaze fixed.

"Did 【They】 send you here?"

"No, no, no, 【They】 won't pay attention to me anymore; I came here myself."

What do you mean 【They】 won't pay attention to you anymore?

What do you mean you came here yourself?

How did you come?

Did you steam 【Memory】, or did you slaughter 【Time】?

Cheng Shi saw Cheng Shi's confusion and laughed loudly.

"Don't think of me as that awesome. Although I have the confidence to face 【Them】 directly, 【They】 are ultimately 【Them】, and I am not yet.

I just saw a gap in the library of 【Memory】, and then I followed it in to take a look.

Didn't expect to see you.

Hahahaha, it turns out the appearance of this gap is also because of you.

Interesting, too interesting. Have you encountered anything fun recently? Tell me and make me happy."

Watching another self laugh loudly, even laughing until tears came out, Cheng Shi's face was extremely dark.

"Did you come here just to see me make a fool of myself?"

"Although it wasn't at first, it is now, hahahaha."

"Why are you the same as Him?"

"This question is not up to standard. If I weren't the same as Him, you should be the one asking."

"...... That's true."

The two Cheng Shis suddenly looked at each other and then laughed out loud in tacit understanding.

The tacit understanding from the same soul resonated to a climax at this moment. I don't know if it was finding joy in suffering or being heartless to begin with, anyway......

One laughed until he hit the ground, and the other laughed until he crowed.

The laughter lasted for a long time, until for a moment, both were tired of laughing, and it gradually subsided.

Cheng Shi vaguely felt the intention of the other Cheng Shi.

He wasn't here to help himself, nor was he here to spur himself, and even less was he here to hinder himself.

He perhaps just discovered a fun thing, and then discovered that behind this fun thing was his past self.

No matter how 【They】 define it, anyway, in Cheng Shi's eyes, the Cheng Shi in front of him was indeed the self at the other end of the long river of time.

How interesting.

Met the "future" self.

He shook his head and smiled, relaxed his body, and sat down in the void.

The Cheng Shi opposite looked at him with great interest, his eyes full of nostalgia.

"It hurts, right?" Cheng Shi said to the big Cheng Shi.

"Hmm? You mean this?"

Big Cheng Shi reached out and touched the terrifying scar on his neck and smiled.

A smile that was holding back bad intentions.

"Left by fighting with Poison. Hmm, I don't know if you've seen her, but anyway, better not to see her."

Cheng Shi stared at big Cheng Shi for a long time, his face speechless as he complained: "Tell the truth!"

"Sigh, you're no fun like this. You have to know how to find joy in suffering.

Alright, alright, don't glare at me. Fake, it's fake, okay? Got it tattooed by someone.

How about it, doesn't it look very hard to mess with? Suggest you get one too, so that every time the trial starts, it will save a lot of trouble."

"......"

I knew it.

When Cheng Shi saw the smile flash in his future self's eyes, he felt that big Cheng Shi was going to start being dishonest.

Although the talent of Master of Deception would fail when they met, making himself always feel that what the other party said was true......

But, seeing through oneself didn't seem too difficult either.

"You wouldn't have made yourself look so miserable just to get some sympathy from me, would you?"

"That's saying, I only have this one tattoo."

"Then your shoulder?"

"Herobos took my shoulder bone during the second 【Council of Gods】."

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, here it comes.

After all, it's the future self!

Even if his mind had never changed like his own, and he wasn't willing to interfere too much with his past self, he still couldn't help but leak some news.

This had nothing to do with anything else; it was just a person stumbling forward, feeling sorry for his past self, not wanting him to walk so muddily again.

Cheng Shi listened silently, not asking a single extra question.

"He is the Messenger of 【Annihilation】, avoid if you can."

"Here," big Cheng Shi pointed to the fist-sized scar under his ribs and continued, "Qin Xin stabbed it. Of course, this person isn't bad, but his fate is too smelly, avoid if you can."

"Here, you shouldn't be unfamiliar with it, 【Death】 Pleasure Ring. I haven't held a wine glass steadily for a long time. This is a side effect of relying on it too much, pay more attention."

"Here, Galyusha crushed my leg. I pulled out her arm and rebuilt a pair, but unfortunately, they don't match very well.

But I heard that big shots are all lame, and it's quite stylish, isn't it?

She is a paranoid lunatic, the black hand that buried the Tower of Reason, remember, must stay away from her."

"......"

Big Cheng Shi said a lot, and every time he said a name, his face became gloomier.

By the end, the rich murderous intent overflowed from his eyes, sweeping the entire void like a flood, making everything tangible in this void almost stagnant.

Even Cheng Shi himself was locked by this murderous intent, his back sweating, his face pale.

But it didn't take long for big Cheng Shi to realize it was inappropriate. He smiled self-deprecatingly and restrained this terrifying momentum.

"Sorry, stress response.

The advancement of the era will always have such and such tragedies. Although I have walked further than others, I am still an actor in this tragedy.

Before the play ends, I still want to try.

Sigh......

Forget it, why say these things, extremely boring."

Big Cheng Shi's gloomy face collapsed without a trace. He looked at Cheng Shi and smiled again.

"Let's talk about you. I'm very curious, how did you open that gap now."

Cheng Shi's mind was tossing and turning because of receiving excessive information. He pondered for a long time before opening his mouth.

"That gap wasn't opened by me, it was......"

He wanted to say 【Memory】, but suddenly felt that if it were 【Memory】, there was nothing to say, after all, big Cheng Shi jumped back from His library.

So he changed his words and said a name.

"Su Yi Da."

"Who is that?"

"......"

Cheng Shi was now certain that big Cheng Shi didn't come back from the future line he had before. As for which future he came from.

Who cares.

"A trickster master who has never been watched by Him."

"Oh?" Big Cheng Shi's tone suddenly became strange. He looked at Cheng Shi thoughtfully, rarely not commenting.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Cheng Shi curled his lips, feeling that he was stupid.

Such a good opportunity, not asking for help, but wasting time here, simply sick.

So he put aside the messy information in his mind and asked seriously:

"Is the Ranger who was with me still alive?" ===== CHAPTER 122 =====
