Chapter 1218: You are not Xiang Honglin, who are you?

~9 min read 1,647 words

You are not Xiang Honglin, who are you?

Xiang Honglin tensed up the moment she felt the murderous intent, ready to break free from Cheng Shi's embrace with her power at any time, but she didn't. Instead, she clenched her fists and asked cautiously, frowning:

"Don't be excited, it's me. What happened?"

It was her expression of holding back her strength that made Cheng Shi relax in his heart, but he still didn't believe that the timing of Xiang Honglin's appearance could be so coincidental, appearing exactly when he was most desperate, and saying that she had walked in front.

This reason is very exquisite. Everyone has never broken through the space-time barrier head-on, and they don't know if there is a distortion of time in the real universe, so Cheng Shi couldn't find the flaw in this, so he could only temporarily believe that the Big Jiang in front of him was real.

Of course, the "real" here represents that the Big Jiang in front of him is a real life form, not some illusion of his own speculation. As for whether this life form is Big Jiang, it remains to be seen.

Cheng Shi frowned and thought for a moment, not moving the dagger away, but took out a die with the other hand that was locking Big Jiang and gently pointed it at the other party's back.

Xiang Honglin understood, tried to take out a die as lightly as possible, and whispered:

"The path coming..."

Cheng Shi breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew the surgical knife, held the die against Big Jiang, and said: "... all are destined."

Hearing this sentence, Xiang Honglin obviously relaxed her nerves too. Her expression eased, and she looked around:

"This is the real universe?"

"Why is there nothing?"

"Cheng Shi, what exactly happened?"

Cheng Shi looked straight into Big Jiang's eyes, first hummed a few times in self-mockery, then sighed and shook his head:

"I should be the one asking you what happened."

"I came here and couldn't see your figure, so I searched for you in this barren universe for ten days."

"Ten whole days!"

"And you tell me now that you just arrived here..."

Xiang Honglin was horrified and couldn't believe it: "How is that possible! I only felt a moment of darkness, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw you. How could there be ten days!"

Cheng Shi carefully examined Xiang Honglin's expression, found no abnormalities, frowned and shook his head:

"I don't know either, but fortunately I found you."

"However, the supplies I prepared are not enough for the next consumption, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiang Honglin took out the food she had prepared from her portable space.

"Here, I prepared it for a long time, enough!"

Cheng Shi smiled with relief. With the support of food, he could indeed continue the action of searching for authority, but the moment Xiang Honglin turned around to look, a flash of sharpness flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes.

The other party is definitely not Xiang Honglin!

Even if the conversation didn't lie, the food in her hand couldn't be fake.

Don't forget who Xiang Honglin is now. She is Fulazhuo, the daughter of 【Prosperity】, a 【Prosperity】 candidate recognized by the 【Convention】 to be able to attend the Gods' Convention. She possesses the authority of "vitality" and "abundance," and basically doesn't need to rely on external supplies. How could she prepare food in her portable space?

Even if she stored some food to help friends in an emergency, she would never say the word "enough." She only needs to share her authority to let the two roam freely in this real universe, but this Big Jiang in front of her didn't mention 【Prosperity】 at all!

This discovery made Cheng Shi's heartstrings tighten again.

If this happened in a trial, Cheng Shi would have ten thousand ways to determine the other party's identity. After all, the only people who can play tricks are players, and the scope would soon narrow down to five people.

But this is the real universe, a place Cheng Shi has never set foot in. He doesn't even know if everything that happens here can be explained by the experience of the original world!

For example, this Xiang Honglin in front of him, is she a "wise liar creature" wandering in the real universe, or a native who is good at acting in this wilderness?

Or even more terrifying, could she be Xiang Honglin from another starry sky?

If so, it means that the Big Jiang in front of him can't be counted as an enemy at all, at most a familiar stranger. But if not...

Then Big Jiang's identity undoubtedly became a landmine buried by Cheng Shi's side.

Judging from Cheng Shi's usual stable style of doing things, he wouldn't bring such an uncertain threat by his side, but this time it was different. He didn't expose the other party's "lie."

When an unknown life form tries to approach you by lying instead of hunting you directly, this means either it can't take you down head-on, or it has other plans for you.

Coincidentally, in terms of "having plans," Cheng Shi hasn't lost yet.

Don't forget, he is not just a liar, but a gambler, a crazy gambler.

Since the Xiang Honglin in front of him is "fake," the confusion she shows about the real universe can naturally also be "fake." In this way, as long as the other party is temporarily stabilized, it might be possible to peel the cocoon from the other party's words and deeds and find more facts about the real universe.

Therefore, Cheng Shi remained calm, showing a thoughtful look:

"Based on my exploration and understanding of this area these days, the real universe is far from what we see in the world."

"It is vast and barren, lonely and silent. We are afraid that we won't find anything even if we exhaust our strength, so I think there might be some ways we don't know, such as time, such as space, that can let us explore here more efficiently."

Saying this, Cheng Shi also looked at Xiang Honglin. Xiang Honglin frowned, looking dazed, clearly knowing nothing.

Seeing that the other party was very cautious, Cheng Shi continued:

"Of course, this might just be my speculation. The real universe is vast and boundless, and we humans are still too small, naturally unable to understand the truth of 'truth'."

"But no matter what, move, if there is no road, find a road."

Xiang Honglin nodded and asked: "Which direction?"

Cheng Shi smiled and raised the die: "Let it tell us."

Hearing this, Xiang Honglin said unpleasantly: "Your die has no answer, let me do it."

Saying this, she threw a 12-sided die, rolled a 7 in her palm, looked at the back side, and shook her head:

"Set off?"

Cheng Shi glanced at the 7 o'clock direction, thoughtful.

That is the opposite direction to his 1 o'clock. The last time he walked like this was in the 【War】 trial.

Are you going to deviate from fate again?

Cheng Shi didn't make a sound, nodded, followed behind Xiang Honglin, and swept toward the 7 o'clock direction. Not long after moving, he asked again:

"How should I return to the original world?"

The leading Xiang Honglin seemed not to hear clearly. She stopped and looked back: "What?"

Cheng Shi smiled and shook his head: "Nothing, hope this trip goes well."

On the other side.

Xiang Honglin, who had been searching for Cheng Shi for ten days without seeing him, was about to go crazy.

She is different from Cheng Shi. Her strategy is to keep looking, keep looking. The authority of 【Prosperity】 can support her to keep looking until the world is destroyed and the authority disappears, but judging from the current situation, she is afraid that the original world will be destroyed before she can find Cheng Shi back.

The real universe is so big, but I lost Cheng Shi.

Big Jiang is very frustrated and very angry.

At her most desperate, she even thought about charging in a certain direction like 【War】, so that Cheng Shi could see she was here, but she was afraid that once she "woke up" that Creator, 【He】 would purge everything in the real universe.

If people aren't found, at least she can comfort herself by saying the other party is alive, but once 【He】 makes a move... then the person is really gone.

Xiang Honglin, who was bumping around, became more irritable and powerless. She tried her best to stay away from the "starting point," just because she was afraid that once she saw that place, she would think of the scene of explaining to the destined person after she went back.

She didn't dare to tell them that Cheng Shi was gone. She would rather it be herself who disappeared.

But she really had no choice. She felt she had to go back to bring reinforcements.

And it was at this time, and it was when Xiang Honglin returned to the starting point mechanically, that a figure suddenly appeared at the "starting point" where no one had been seen for 10 days.

"Cheng Shi!??"

Xiang Honglin widened her eyes, slapped herself hard in disbelief, and then without a word, turned into a spotted leopard and stepped this hateful Fate Weaver firmly under her feet.

She showed a fingernail, pressed it against the Fate Weaver's forehead, and roared hysterically:

"Cheng Shi!!!

Why did you come only now! Why are you 10 days late!

Do you know how I spent these 10 days!!"

Saying this, the spotted leopard's eyes turned red.

Cheng Shi, who was stepped under her feet, was full of confusion in his eyes.

"Xiang Honglin, what happened?

What ten days?

I clearly followed right behind you..." ===== CHAPTER 1219 =====
