Chapter 1245: No room to breathe, the [Fraud] trial descends!

~8 min read 1,540 words

No room to breathe, the 【Fraud】 trial descends!

One hundred and four days?

Why did he only spend ten-plus days in the real universe, but more than a hundred days passed in the real world!?

No one could give Cheng Shi an answer, not even the Big Cat, because when the Doctor's words "Praise the Foolish Play" fell, a scarlet trial prompt appeared directly in Cheng Shi's field of vision.

【Special Trial (Curtain Call Performance 【Fraud】) has been opened】

【Matching teammates (1/6)】

【Trial Goal: Every performance has an ending (Time limit 5 days)】

"!!!"

Cheng Shi never expected that the timing of his return would be so coincidental, exactly hitting a special trial, and it was the God of Fun's trial at that!

But could it really be such a coincidence?

From the moment He sent him out, to feeling the traces of 【Destiny】 in the real universe, to the timing of this "just right" special trial... He seemed to be deliberately avoiding him!

Whether it was the inquiry before departure or the "report" after witnessing so many accidents, the God of Fun hadn't left him a single opportunity to have an audience.

Of course, the arrival time of the special trial belonged to the rules of the 【Convention】, perhaps it couldn't be changed by the will of a certain god, but don't forget, not being able to change the time of the trial didn't mean one couldn't change the time of the players.

The God of Fun and 【Time】 are allies bound together. When he passed through the space-time barrier and returned to the world, who knew if 【Time】 had played any tricks during this process?

After all, They could even reset the world; changing the time of a few mortals was simply as easy as turning over a hand.

So, did the God of Fun really not want to see him, or was it that He didn't need to see him?

What was He hiding, or what was He avoiding?

Could it be that from the moment he stepped onto the real universe, all of this was a trap laid by Him?

Every performance has an ending...

Such a straightforward hint, is the end of the 【Nothingness】 era really coming?

Countless thoughts flashed through Cheng Shi's mind in a second. He didn't even have time to put down the phone before his consciousness was pulled out of his body.

【Matching successful (6/6), entering the trial】

It seemed very bright outside.

There wasn't much noise around, it should be indoors. There was wind in the room, dry, but not cold.

It was like being in the north of the Star Fall Continent.

The moment his consciousness returned, Cheng Shi had already made many judgments. His eyelids moved slightly, and he didn't rush to open his eyes. Instead, after confirming there was no one around, he used his hand to cover his eyelids and lifted a slit, afraid of being dazzled by the bright light.

He had thought the room had good lighting, but after opening his eyes, he realized that the dazzling light didn't all come from outside the window, but from gold!

Gold filling his field of vision!

The entire room was crafted to be resplendent and magnificent. Whether it was the round table, chairs, or the bed and doors, everything he saw was cast from gold.

The walls were still relatively normal, but the waist lines, foot lines, and corner outlines on the walls were still gold.

Cheng Shi was stunned.

The last time he saw this kind of nouveau riche decor was at the Mediocre Society.

How come, is the owner of this room also a mediocre person?

Wait, I wouldn't be the owner of this room, would I?

Cheng Shi looked at himself with a strange expression, checked himself on the reflective golden tabletop, and then nodded, saying seriously:

"Indeed a mediocre person."

He laughed, stood up, looked around, and heard movement outside the room.

The shadow had already gone ahead to scout the path, and when he saw that the teammate walking out of the next room was An Mingyu in black gauze, Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow.

Such a coincidence?

The God of Fun wouldn't be doing this on purpose, would He?

【Destiny】 and ending... they really do go well together.

Cheng Shi frowned and pushed the door open to walk out. An Mingyu, who had been a step ahead of him, turned around and "looked" over upon hearing the movement, nodding to him with some surprise:

"【Death】 and ending really do go well together. Long time no see, Zhang Shenxuan."

Cheng Shi narrowed his eyes and returned the greeting calmly:

"Long time no see, An Shenxuan."

Correct, Cheng Shi was not in his own appearance at the moment; he had turned into Old Zhang the Squinter.

This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, but premeditated.

When he saw that this trial was bestowed by the God of Fun and carried the prompt with the word "ending," he decisively chose to change his identity to enter this trial.

At this time, he had just returned from the real universe, his mind was full of thoughts, and there were many things that needed to be sorted out. He needed time to think carefully, so he couldn't let himself become the focus of the trial again.

It just so happened that the identity of a Fate Weaver was too famous; it was hard for him to avoid the attention of other players in a 【Fraud】 trial.

Even if everyone didn't come over because of his fame, they would ask him for advice because he was a well-known believer of 【Fraud】, asking him to analyze the prompt information of this trial.

Cheng Shi didn't want to cause trouble, at least he wanted to be quiet before figuring out what the God of Fun meant, so he chose the most "unpopular" and safest role to play, Zhang Jizu.

No one would pay too much attention to an immortal 【Death】 Shenxuan, and by borrowing the background of 【Death】, he could also get rid of a lot of trouble.

Facts proved that this choice was very effective; even the blind person was fooled.

After greeting, An Mingyu didn't pay too much attention to "Zhang Jizu," but continued to look around the huge residence. After a moment, she nodded and said firmly:

"Kanliwal.

Although this golden decor is dazzling, the style cannot fool people.

This is Kanliwal in summer, the only season of the year when one can wear a single layer of clothing.

It's a pity that such a beautiful season only lasts for one month. Sure enough... beauty is short-lived."

There was clearly another meaning in An Mingyu's words, but Cheng Shi didn't delve into it. He knew that this 【Destiny】 Shenxuan was still trying to self-consistently align with her destiny, so he didn't comment on it.

Soon, hearty laughter came from the room ahead. A golden door was pushed open. Before seeing anyone, Cheng Shi heard an extremely familiar voice.

"When I saw the word 'ending,' I was still worried, but as soon as I heard your voice, I was relieved.

With you here, 【Destiny】 will always lead us to find the guidance of the trial.

Long time no see, Mingyu."

Before the words fell, a burly man walked out of the room laughing. Cheng Shi's expression stiffened, discovering that this was another session of familiar faces.

Hu Wei!

Why is my good big brother here too?

Correct, the third teammate to appear was Hu Wei. He still had that righteous appearance. After greeting An Mingyu, he nodded to Cheng Shi:

"Brother Zhang, long time no see. Ha, look at what I'm saying; even if everyone else has something happen, you should be the one most unaffected.

Very good, with Brother Zhang here, I have more confidence in this trial."

"..."

Cheng Shi smiled and squinted to respond, but as soon as he turned his head, the corners of his mouth twitched.

He knew very well that his good big brother would never be trapped in a trial; he just didn't know what earth-shattering thing the other party would do this time.

But no matter what it was, Cheng Shi wasn't prepared to participate.

He was prepared to walk this trial alone, find a place to think quietly, peel the cocoon, and see if he could find the God of Fun's recent will from this trial.

However, his idea was stopped just as he was about to lift his foot to leave.

"Brother Zhang, don't rush to leave. I'm just short of a priest here.

Wait for me to recognize the others, and then see how many good hands our team can gather.

Rest assured, this matter will definitely not be out of line and will not delay the clearance of this trial."

As he spoke, Hu Wei knocked on the other doors in turn.

There was no response from five in a row, until the last one was knocked, everyone saw a slender hand pull the door open, and immediately after, a figure in work clothes pushed the door and walked out.

Zhang Jizu.

That's right!

Another 【Death】 Shenxuan walked out of the room. ===== CHAPTER 1246 =====
