Chapter 1255: Which trick master?

Which trick master?

"Boom—"

The huge firelight instantly illuminated the entire circus park, and the blazing fire tongue swallowed all the surrounding tents, and exclamations and screams came one after another.

Captain Fite was the first to arrive at the scene. Full of horror, he immediately called the guards and called on everyone to put out the fire.

The guards rushed over in panic, and many actors also put down their performances and ran over with water buckets to put out the fire.

When the tourists in the park surrounded them, the fire had been mostly extinguished, but the tent was already leveled, and even pits appeared. Everyone's face was as dark as the pit after the fire.

They knew whose tent this was, but until now they hadn't seen the owner of the tent, not even a figure after the embers.

An actor couldn't believe it and choked up: "Captain, Lake, he..."

Captain Fite clenched his fists tightly, shook his head with a livid face, and said:

"Impossible! He won't have anything happen, absolutely not!

Go, everyone go find him. Lake is not in his tent. He said he wanted to go out.

Guards, report all this truthfully to the royal family. I want to know who dares to be so blatant to commit arson in the circus at this time!

No matter who it is, wanting to step on Xi Mu's reputation to get ahead, I don't agree!"

The shocking explosion instantly became the biggest news in Kurd. Countless people cared about Lake's whereabouts and cared about whether Xi Mu could still complete the competition duel five days later.

Some watched the fun, some took the opportunity to make trouble, some fished in troubled waters, but more were sorry for it.

It could be seen that Lake's reputation was very good. He was super strong, and his dedication to the circus was no less than Captain Fite's. Just looking at the sad expressions on the faces of many circus actors, one could see that the clown was very loved, and someone in the crowd even shouted Lake's name, calling him captain.

Perhaps if there were no accidents, Lake would take over after Fite's term ended.

But all of this was shattered in this chaotic explosion.

And on the periphery of this huge chaos, the spotless Cheng Shi was confronting Zhen Xin, whose back was covered in gray.

Regarding Cheng Shi's behavior of pushing her to the front as a sandbag to resist the explosion, Zhen Xin protested with a black face:

"This is the second time!

Cheng Shi, 【Destiny】 has cast so many gazes on you, is it just to let people suffer the pain of explosion when they get close to you?"

Hearing this, Cheng Shi seemed to have thought of something. He smiled awkwardly and waved his hand:

"Last time it was blowing up your sister, that doesn't count, you two are each discussed.

Besides, compared to saving your life, what is a little explosion.

As long as the nurse isn't dead, it doesn't matter if you die or not, I can fish you back."

As he spoke, he also gave Zhen Xin a healing spell, but the healing spell only heals people, not clothes.

Zhen Xin was unharmed, just her clothes were singed by the fire.

Her eyelids jumped slightly, and she said unhappily:

"This degree of explosion is not enough to need you to fish me, even if it explodes in front of me, I might not be injured."

"Ah yes yes yes, after all, you are a Shenxuan, how can ordinary explosives hurt you, but you knew it was explosives and still leaned up, why, believe 【Chaos】 and you are also chaotic?"

Zhen Xin glared at Cheng Shi faintly, gnashing her teeth:

"I'm fishing!

Calculate three steps before acting, only then can you break the game.

Knowing that explosives can't hurt yourself, you should enter the game to catch the other party's rhythm. Only by falling into the other party's rhythm can you lead out the lone wolf hiding behind the scenes.

You are cautious in everything, careful in everything, opportunities are wasted, and how do you know what our lone wolf teammate is thinking?

Or do you have the ability to read minds like the God of Fun, and have already seen what that trick master wants to do?

If it's the latter, it's simple. You just need to say where he is, no need for you to move, I will capture him myself.

How about it?

Say it."

Zhen Xin stood with her arms crossed, her fingertips tapping her arms quickly, clearly a bit really

The smile on Cheng Shi's face stalled, looking slightly guilty.

After returning from the Real Universe, even though his nerves had relaxed, Cheng Shi still harbored the fear he had collected there, so it was no wonder he was even more cautious than before.

However, the current situation was not as Zhen Xin had said; they had not completely lost the opportunity to find the other party.

Entering the game in person was merely to sniff out the other party's identity, but the Trickster Master who dared to strike brazenly against Cheng Shi, disguised as Old Man Zhang, and Zhen Xin, disguised as the blind woman, in this kind of game was one of the few in the entire peak circle.

Cheng Shi hadn't crossed hands with many peak liars, and even fewer Trickster Masters; most were now in the Clown Society, so after pondering for a moment with no results, he decisively looked at Zhen Xin.

Zhen Xin quickly thought of this point too; her brows furrowed slightly as she carefully screened for suspicious targets, but the longer she thought, the tighter her brows knitted.

Clearly, she hadn't expected who this Trickster Master might be.

"If we weren't roleplaying right now, and were just Cheng Shi and Zhen Xin, then there would indeed be a few backup options.

Battles between liars depend entirely on their craft; they have sufficient reason and motive to make a move on us.

But now, the teammates in their eyes are Zhang Jizu and An Mingyu; a Trickster Master capable of making a move on Mingyu... I can't think of a single one.

Unless he has a prop in his hand for creating illusions, but if that's the case, the scope would expand to all faiths, and blind guessing would be meaningless."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi, who deeply agreed, suddenly had a name flash through his mind.

He actually did know a Trickster Master who might have made these arrangements.

The key was that this Trickster Master also truly had a reason to avoid Old Man Zhang and the blind woman and not meet them, because this person was currently plotting to "finish off" him, and he should also know that these two were his friends.

Seeing a flash of light in Cheng Shi's eyes, Zhen Xin asked in surprise: "You guessed who it is?"

Cheng Shi nodded:

"It's possible it's him, but I can't be entirely sure yet.

You know this person too... Su Yi Da."

Zhen Xin was suddenly stunned, remembering the figure she had seen in Cheng Shi's memories.

"The Demon Realm Big Jiang?

But didn't he die?"

"Correct, he did indeed die at the time, but the current him is not the him from back then.

I suspect that, like Xie Shu, he is a stowaway from another sliced universe; as for his purpose in coming here..."

Cheng Shi told Zhen Xin everything he understood about Xie Shu and his encounter with Xie Shu in the Real Universe. Zhen Xin listened, pondered for a moment, and mused:

"How could Xie Shu's purpose be diametrically opposed to the direction we are currently striving toward?

Why was his good big brother here too?

Only in this way could they possibly survive this Creator's experiment, right?

Then why would they want to find a world without you?

This doesn't look like a judgment or choice that a 【Foolish】 believer who knows the Real Universe and can cross the barriers of time and space could make.

Unless..."

Saying this, Zhen Xin's gaze flickered, she lowered her eyes, and said no more.

But Cheng Shi had already understood her meaning.

Unless the offering for 【Fate】 is fundamentally wrong, and the current established path is not the answer to save the world from fire and water, but an accelerator that spawns greater fear and invites the world's collapse!

Otherwise, a wise man would never be so eager to find a world without an "answer."

Thinking of this, both of them fell silent.

Of course, whether this deduction holds is still unknown; after all, a wise man is still a mortal no matter how wise, and Xie Shu's vision may not be as long-term as the gods', but the meaning revealed within is exceptionally intriguing.

Cheng Shi laughed self-deprecatingly, rubbed his nose, and said:

"In the past, I was afraid that I was the answer, and also afraid that I wasn't the answer.

But after experiencing this trip to the Real Universe, I have had many new realizations.

Whether I am the answer to 【Fate】, whether I am the established answer, or even to be more arrogant, whether I am the answer to this world... none of it matters.

What matters is that I will personally write my own answer.

The Clown is on stage to please the audience, but before pleasing them, I must first please myself.

Only when I can laugh out loud will they laugh even louder.

As for the way to please the audience... It's not up to Them, it's up to me!

The Fun God is also accelerating the established path, and the two from 【Void】 have undoubtedly reached a consensus on this point; I cannot fathom His thoughts, so I can only categorize Him as being in the 'enemy camp' as well.

Miss Magician, the Clown's game strategy needs to change; it is very likely that the Fun God is not protecting us, but is likewise our 'enemy.'

【Fate】 is the same.

Heh, fate, sometimes it's just that magical.

I also never thought that one day, the Clown and the Fated One would actually become existences that oppose the gods, like the Fire Keepers.

Of course, this is just my wishful thinking; whether the Clowns are willing to join me in resisting the so-called established path probably requires asking them one by one.

There's no time like the present; since you know my thoughts, whether you go or stay is entirely up to your heart."

The phrase "entirely up to your heart" made Zhen Xin's brows lift slightly.

She tilted her head to look at Cheng Shi, whose eyes were firm, and felt that the liar before her was completely different from when he was deceived by Zhen Yi, as if he had undergone a rebirth.

Although Cheng Shi was shrewd and cunning back then, he was far from having today's boldness and courage.

They were both cautious, but the Cheng Shi of that time wore his caution on his sleeve, while the current Cheng Shi hides all his anxiety about the future in his heart; at least when speaking to others, he is very resolute.

As for whether this resolution is real, or if he has deceived himself... it doesn't matter, it's all quite good.

Thinking of this, Zhen Xin curled the corners of her lips, and a brilliant smile bloomed on her face.

"Why not?

Otherwise, wouldn't this game have too little fun?"
