Chapter 123: He did indeed hide the answer in the void

He did indeed hide the answer in the void

This was undoubtedly a dog-blood story.

The slaughterer lurking in the shadows of the blood moon was not a slaughterer, but a guardian.

This transformation of positive and negative exchange made Cheng Shi somewhat caught off guard.

But he suddenly understood what the trial question 【Who should receive redemption】 was referring to.

Between the residents who were both victims and guarded, and the "Divine Messenger" who was both a murderer and a guardian, choosing one person who should receive redemption, this kind of dilemma was consistent with His will.

Fate is both suffering and a joke.

But this story still had some discrepancies with the Far-Dusk Town Cheng Shi understood.

The problem of controlling the population was explained, but the remaining problems were still many.

For example, where did the travelers go?

"Patience, keep looking."

Cheng Shi frowned tightly, his gaze following the picture forward.

The "divine oracle" that blasphemers would be punished didn't take long to spread widely in Far-Dusk Town.

Because divine punishment only descended at night, from a certain day on, the town's nights said goodbye to liveliness forever.

As long as night fell, everyone would stay at home, stay in places with light, so as not to lose the protection of the 【Eternal Sun】 and become a pollutant of the 【Slaughter Moon】.

Yes, from this time on, people had understood divine punishment as His anger and His no longer protecting them.

It was also from this time on that the town ushered in a period of stable time under the panic of "divine punishment."

However, fate always likes to tease those who look honest and dutiful.

It was another very ordinary night, and when the blood moon rose, the curse descended.

After that night, all town residents lost the ability to reproduce with each other. The power of this curse couldn't be resisted at all, and even the "Divine Messenger" had no way.

But it was at this time that a traveler from outside accidentally broke into Far-Dusk Town, which hadn't had strangers for a long time. He was a wandering poet.

The poet came here to collect wind, to find inspiration, to write poems for later generations to sing, and also fell in love with a girl here.

This was originally a trivial matter, but when he made the girl successfully pregnant through some ritual obtained by chance on the journey one night......

He became the greatest savior of Far-Dusk Town!

The "Divine Messenger" met him and promised him ten thousand gold, only asking him to stay in the town for a while longer.

At first, the poet was very happy, and he agreed.

But as time passed, he discovered that this wonderful bestowal ritual was stripping away his soul, dispersing his life. He became weak, became powerless, became panicked and fearful!

Thus, on a night when the blood moon rose, he risked his life and escaped.

As for whether he escaped or not, no one knew.

The town residents only knew that from that day on, there was a complete set of bestowal rituals in the town.

Not only that, from then on, there were more and more travelers in the town, and everything Cheng Shi saw also gradually developed after that, becoming what it was now.

The 【Eternal Sun】's blessing remained undiminished, the 【Slaughter Moon】's curse still existed, and under the faith panic woven by the "Divine Messenger," Far-Dusk Town continued year after year until today.

No one could live to the end of their life, but no one would experience disaster again.

Outsiders couldn't measure whether they were happy or sad, but at least one point, they were still alive.

And they lived longer than their ancestors.

The memory ended here, and the blurred picture dissipated into the void again.

Cheng Shi frowned tightly, recalling everything he had just seen, and gradually smoothed out his train of thought.

"This memory......"

Big Cheng Shi grabbed the black-robed person from somewhere and smiled while holding his collar:

"When you bring him here, you will see this memory.

And here will also be the last stop for your 'choice of fate'!

His intention is very clear: who should receive redemption, the residents, or the Divine Messenger, choose one of the two!"

"Wrong!"

Before big Cheng Shi could finish speaking, Cheng Shi shook his head fiercely:

"Wrong, this is wrong. You mean he is still the first Divine Messenger?

No, he can live until now, not because of the 【Eternal Sun】's blessing, but because he is a puppet!

He refined himself into a puppet!

This is the reason why his lifespan is so long!

And the one who masters this technology can only be the creation alchemy department of the Tower of Reason, not some 'Divine Messenger' of Far-Dusk Town!

But what does Far-Dusk Town have to do with creation alchemy?

Also, the 【Eternal Sun】's authority is an incomplete 【Birth】, not an incomplete 【Prosperity】. His blessing won't make people live long!

How the sun and moon came to be, where the attachment came from, why their authority is similar to the 'Them' we know, why the descent of the blood moon curse has no regularity, these are all points that are difficult to explain.

Although 【Fate】 always makes people sick, He never uses a semi-finished product to annoy you.

He will meticulously design all the details, and then when you find that you can't change fate at all, He will jump out and ruthlessly mock you.

The story in the memory is too rough; it doesn't look like the handwriting of that b...... Him."

This analysis stunned big Cheng Shi.

His expression became weird to the extreme, and the look in his eyes toward Cheng Shi even carried admiration.

"You really dare to say it."

Cheng Shi was very surprised by his attitude, but still nodded:

"Speak the truth."

"......"

Big Cheng Shi smiled. He smiled happily.

"Hahahahaha, worthy of being me!

Indeed, if you stop here, then the one who truly stops will be all of you.

He did indeed hide the answer in the void.

However, it is not the void you can understand.

But, the true...... nothingness!"

Saying this, big Cheng Shi reached out and wiped toward the void above his head.

His palm was like a void eraser, wiping across the pitch-black void canvas, restoring the painting that had been covered by ink marks.

With the movement of his palm, a starry sky that was dazzling to the point of being unreal slowly appeared before Cheng Shi's eyes.

And in that starry sky flickering with void stars, a scorching giant sun and a blood-red cold moon were emitting terrifying light, shining on every corner of the four directions of the universe!

Cheng Shi only took one look and felt his scalp go numb. A fear from the deepest part of his soul rushed straight to his crown from his tailbone, and his whole body stood stiff on the spot instantly.

What made him afraid was naturally not facing the 【Eternal Sun】 or the 【Slaughter Moon】 directly.

But!

These two huge celestial bodies that could be seen as incomplete 【Birth】 and 【Filth】 authority were actually just a pair of eyes!

He saw a huge corpse hanging upside down above the void starry sky. The starlight turned into ropes binding it, and the black holes became shackles imprisoning it.

And in the terrifying eye sockets of that corpse, there was a pair of glowing eyes, which were none other than the giant sun and blood moon known to the players!

This corpse stood tall and upright, huge and boundless. Even if all the flickering void stars around it were piled up, they might not be as huge as one of its bone joints.

It was already rotten and unbearable. The rotten tendons and skin couldn't wrap its bones, and the cracked bone patterns covered the entire starry sky like a world-destroying spider web.

Such a behemoth was right in front of his eyes, and Cheng Shi and the others were standing in the palm formed by the hanging man's arms, motionless, watching it, motionless!

No, it was still moving!

Although its body had already rotted, its eyelids were still moving.

Cheng Shi saw:

Its right eye slowly closed, and its left eye slowly opened. The giant sun hid in the nothingness, and the blood moon rose in the starry sky!

Thus......

The night of Far-Dusk Town descended. ===== CHAPTER 124 =====
