The game inside and outside the smoke

Xiang Honglin was extremely nervous at this moment. When she saw the smoke filling the surroundings, her heart rose to her throat.

"What is this for?"

Cheng Shi threw smoke bombs in an orderly manner and said solemnly: "Obstructing the Creator's vision, so that 【He】 cannot see us contacting 【Silence】's corpse."

"???"

What the hell?

If it weren't for the fact that Cheng Shi was speaking Chinese, Xiang Honglin almost thought she had lost her ability to understand.

You want to use smoke to block whose vision!?

Did your mouth slip, or are my ears broken?

Xiang Honglin looked at everything in front of her in disbelief. After a few seconds, she came to her senses and seemed to realize: "Is self-deception a talent? What effect does it have?"

"?" Cheng Shi glanced at her silently and shook his head.

Xiang Honglin's face stiffened, and then she suddenly realized, "Then it's that you took the opportunity to ring the bone bell of 【Death】 again? Did He come to protect us? But I didn't hear any sound."

Cheng Shi's face became more and more strange, and he shook his head again: "What does this have to do with Boss 【Death】? This is pure smoke, the most ordinary kind."

"The most ordinary smoke!!?" Xiang Honglin's face collapsed. Her voice began to deform, and her two hands kept shaking Cheng Shi's shoulders, "Do you know what you are doing, Cheng Shi, are you crazy?"

"No, are you possessed?"

"Is there something dirty in the real universe that affected you, making you lose your mind, or are you playing some ghost trick I can't understand?"

Xiang Honglin frowned, her eyes full of suspicion, "No, you are lying, right? Lying to whom? Those two liars in the real universe?

You want to lie to them about something, pretending we have contacted 【Silence】's corpse, and then use fake news to exchange for information about the real universe?"

Speaking of this, Xiang Honglin's eyes suddenly lit up.

This was not because she firmly believed she had guessed right, but because she saw Cheng Shi's face also collapse.

Sure enough, the collapsed face will only transfer, not disappear.

Confirming that Cheng Shi was not possessed, Xiang Honglin was excited: "What do you want to do, how should I cooperate with you?"

"......"

Not discovering is the best cooperation.

Cheng Shi sighed. After being deceived many times, Big Jiang also grew a brain and could guess the liar's mind.

But her every move was still too "immature" in front of a top liar. Cheng Shi didn't dare to gamble that Big Jiang, who knew the inside story, could act as if she knew nothing and deceive those two people, so he had to change his plan and said to Big Jiang with a hint of apology:

"Is your neck hard?"

"?"

Big Jiang was stunned. Before she could react, Cheng Shi chopped her neck with a hand knife, and then...

Nothing happened.

"......"

Cheng Shi's smile froze on his face. He personally "chopped" out the answer to this question:

Hard, and very hard.

At that moment, huge embarrassment shrouded the entire fog. Cheng Shi's face twitched, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

Fortunately, Big Jiang understood Cheng Shi's meaning. She looked at Cheng Shi faintly and said unconvinced:

"I can't deceive people at all?"

"......"

Although this was self-mockery, it sounded even more sarcastic than some 【Foolishness】 believers in Cheng Shi's ears.

He couldn't say it too directly, so he could only fiddle with the stiff muscles on his face and laugh dryly: "Didn't you say you want to be stable..."

After speaking, he shrank his neck.

He saw Big Jiang raise her hand knife like him.

Xiang Honglin was very angry. She glared and wished she could return the favor to Cheng Shi, but she didn't do so. She knew that the effect of the smoke was limited. If she didn't race against time, Cheng Shi's plan might be ruined.

Knowing the big picture, she raised her hand knife, not to "demonstrate" to Cheng Shi, but chopped directly on her own neck.

"Bang—"

With the crisp sound of the strike, Xiang Honglin closed her eyes and fainted in a second.

Cheng Shi was startled. He hurriedly hugged Big Jiang so she wouldn't fall into the starry sky. His expression was quite wonderful, and his heart was full of emotion.

Look, this is Xiang Honglin. Even in the completely unknown real universe, she can trust her friends so much.

If it were someone else, who would dare to entrust their life to others in a strange place?

Cheng Shi looked at the fainted Big Jiang, his eyes firm. He knew he couldn't live up to Big Jiang's trust, so the plan started the moment she fainted.

He carried Big Jiang on his back, waiting for the smoke to dissipate, his eyes always focused outside the smoke, and didn't glance at the huge Leaking World Silent Puppet at all.

He didn't intend to climb onto the huge wooden puppet corpse at all at this time!

Yes, the Greed Lord did have greed, but he was more greedy for his own life.

He must first get the news of how much risk is hidden on the corpse from the reactions of those two liars before he dares to take further risks to find the "treasure" left on the corpse.

He believes that liars who can deceive people in the real universe must also be "greedy." They couldn't possibly abandon their deception target just because a corpse appeared, so as long as these two people are still paying attention to themselves, and even trying to approach themselves to observe whether they have really boarded 【Silence】's corpse, it means that even if there are risks on this corpse, it is not 100% fatal!

The truth is simple. If all life approaching the Leaking World Silent Puppet would die or even be erased without exception, they would definitely leave this area directly and have no more thoughts.

But if they still try to approach, it can only mean they know there is a chance of survival on the corpse, and people who board the corpse have a chance to bring out good things from the corpse. They want to intercept, want to take what others get into their own pockets without any effort.

And this is also what Cheng Shi wants to confirm.

You are using me, little do you know I also want to use you.

A game isolated by smoke quietly began, and just as Cheng Shi expected, the two immoral liars were slowly approaching the smoke.

They didn't walk together, but controlled the distance far apart, not making themselves too close to the corpse, but also being able to support each other at the first time.

The two of them "surrounded" the smoke in a way that remotely waited for Cheng Shi to bring them good news.

They believe that their reaction of approaching will definitely make Cheng Shi give birth to a gamble of fighting hard, and no matter what the other party gets on this corpse that has been drifting for a long time, they will intercept it and take a peek at the secret of the god's death.

The two have means of long-distance communication. The cheerful figure looked at the smoke fading in the distance and hooked his mouth:

"Careful, the liar is very smart. Even if he finds something, he will never be captured without a fight."

"Watch the smoke, don't let him lie to you."

The colder figure nodded, just wanting to say something, but a change occurred in the smoke.

The smoke that was already tending to dissipate suddenly exploded a few more puffs, becoming thick again, and covering the figures that were flickering in it. Not only that, these newly exploded smoke had clear directions, all exploding in a straight line, like a "hidden" tunnel, making it impossible to see the figures hidden in it.

It was clear that someone wanted to use the cover of smoke to escape the scene.

But this means was too rough. The two figures on the periphery saw the clues at a glance. They hummed and laughed at the same time, didn't pay attention to where the smoke tunnel was spreading, but turned their heads in tacit understanding and looked at the opposite direction of the smoke tunnel.

You can never believe the appearance in front of you, because those are the truths the liar wants you to see.

If you want to find the liar's trace in the dazzling, you need to understand a liar's heart and know why he made so many fancy preparations.

The target in the smoke was clearly to escape, and with the other party's caution, he would definitely not expose his escape direction to the enemy's sight.

So the smoke tunnel must be fake. This is a sound-east-strike-west move without suspense!

The cheerful figure laughed loudly and flashed toward the opposite direction immediately:

"He can't run!"

The colder figure followed tacitly, and he also felt that Cheng Shi couldn't run. ===== CHAPTER 1224 =====
