Chapter 1257
It really is him, Su Yi Da!
Could Cheng Shi be Envoy Envoy Yu Xi?
Of course he could, and the probability was very high.
It wasn't that Zhang Jizu hadn't thought of this possibility, it was just that he had never raised any questions to Cheng Shi about it, because there was no need.
For one, whether Cheng Shi was Envoy Envoy Yu Xi or not didn't affect Zhang Jizu's essential goal of living to the end; for another, whether the other party was Envoy Envoy Yu Xi or not didn't affect the friendship between them.
Cheng Shi's nostalgia for the past was not fake, and his heart that wanted to strive to live could not be faked either.
That was enough.
In that trial in Sandres, the Clowns learned that Kraun had sacrificed himself and had not become a Messenger of 【Fraud】, so the only one who could support the title of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi was his "successor."
And Cheng Shi had almost gathered all of Kraun's masks, missing only a "Clown nose"; with such a naked hint, let alone Zhang Jizu, almost every Clown had guessed that Cheng Shi was Envoy Envoy Yu Xi.
But none of them mentioned it, why?
Because there was no evidence.
Don't forget, Cheng Shi had even roleplayed as Envoy Envoy Yu Xi in front of them... if he was Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, then what was the difference between that roleplay and teasing a fool?
Cheng Shi could clearly have hidden it better, but he insisted on taking a dangerous path, restoring his true form in front of them and lying that it was a roleplay; this act of focusing the spotlight on himself was very stupid, and also very risky, and didn't seem like something a steady Clown would do... so some people convinced themselves with this reason.
Furthermore, everyone was looking for the path to godhood; whether it was the Worship God Society or the Reason Quality Association, crazy people were everywhere, yet no one had ever succeeded, and now you want to tell me a Clown just became a Messenger right under everyone's noses?
No, the existence of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi had traces to follow, and didn't look like a subordinate god promoted from this 【Faith Game】.
In short, amidst misunderstandings and mutual maneuvering, the Clowns tacitly kept silent about this.
Zhang Jizu knew more than them; after all, he had once deceived the Clowns for the Fun God's "Salvation Plan," and given the Fun God's attention to Cheng Shi, Cheng Shi's identity as Envoy Envoy Yu Xi wasn't abrupt, and was even somewhat reasonable.
And right now, when Zhang Jizu heard from Poison that Cheng Shi was Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, he didn't feel surprised at all, and calmly shook his head:
"I don't know."
Although Poison couldn't directly see through lies, she understood the human heart extremely well; seeing Zhang Jizu's expression so flat, she gave a light "Oh" and smiled:
"Looks like you have thought about it.
Since you have thought about it, have you continued to think about why he would hide it from you all but choose not to hide it from me alone?"
Zhang Jizu frowned slightly, indeed somewhat puzzled, but he didn't speak, because he could also see that today's Poison had a very strong desire to share.
Of course, this might not be sharing, just venting.
She had too many secrets bottled up in her heart.
Sure enough, seeing Zhang Jizu not take the bait, Poison leaned directly against the wall and began to talk to herself with a worried face.
"Actually, it's not just me; there is one other person who also knows his identity as Envoy Envoy Yu Xi.
Qu Yan, I don't know if you know him; he is a chameleon who believes in 【Silence】.
Letting a 【Silence】 believer know a secret is no big deal; after all, they are very good at silence and can also keep a secret.
But why let me know these things?
I always thought this was the Little Priest's difference toward me compared to others; he said no with his mouth, but in his heart, he could think of me, and was also willing to pull me along in this boring game.
He even introduced me to meet Afros, letting Him find a second faith for me... 【Time】.
Regarding this, I was very happy, looking forward to meeting him with a new identity, and hoping to deduce a future where he wouldn't resist me approaching him.
Unfortunately, all of this was my delusion.
When I met that person, I realized that gods are gods, and every step they take has a hidden purpose.
He told me his identity, not because he wanted me to get close to him, but because he was quietly getting close to me.
He wanted to get from me..."
Saying this, Poison stopped; she looked at Zhang Jizu with worry, pursed her lips, and said:
"Can I trust you?"
"?"
For a moment, Zhang Jizu took out his scalpel again.
He suspected that the coy Poison in front of him was not the real Poison, but very likely some annoying Fate Weaver!
He still didn't make a sound, and even steadily retreated a few steps.
Seeing this, Poison's sorrow froze on her face, and an awkward atmosphere instantly spread.
"... Am I really that untrustworthy, or are you..."
"If you have something to say, say it; if not, goodbye." Zhang Jizu retreated another step; he prepared to take a detour.
Poison's mouth twitched slightly; looking at this "pure desire" 【Death】 God-Chosen, she said gloomily:
"Forget it, it's rare to find someone to confide in, so I'll say it.
Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's purpose in approaching me isn't pure; he did so much for me just to get from me...
Pleasure."
Saying this, Poison lowered her head in both shame and anger, but when she looked up again, where was Zhang Jizu? Only a patch of air remained.
"?
Is the lie I told that fake?"
Yes, Poison lied; she never thought about sharing the secrets in her heart with Zhang Jizu; she just wanted to verify some guesses about Cheng Shi from the feedback of this 【Death】 God-Chosen's expression, but the steady Old Zhang didn't give her that chance.
Poison stared blankly at the empty path in front of her, suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, then leaned against the wall and slowly sat down at the base, looking up at the sky, lightly tracing the shapes of the clouds in the sky with the tip of a knife that wanted to dance with her, murmuring in an inexplicable tone:
"What exactly is desire?
Why... would He do this?"
On the other side.
The two liars who "determined to resist" 【Fraud】 did not stay long in place; they acted again, sneaking into the explosion site, searching for clues about the other teammate.
Soon they found clues.
Zhen Xin was too wealthy; she was probably the wealthiest Magician in this game, and not to mention how many resources a History School could bring her, just speaking of her trickery that made it hard for others to guard against, one didn't know how many magic cards she could trick out of others.
The two took advantage of the perimeter being cordoned off, used illusions to cover the scene, and stood openly in the center of the explosion, searching wantonly.
Of course, they didn't search much; it all depended on Zhen Xin throwing cards outward.
【Memory】's, 【Time】's, 【Truth】's, 【Foolish】's... Cheng Shi learned for the first time that this was how "rich people" played the game; as he saw the cards drifting down, the various scenes before the explosion were restored in this bombed-out tent.
Cheng Shi's pupils shrank slightly, his tone slightly sour: "At this moment, you really look a bit like someone who walked out of a Golden House."
Zhen Xin rolled her eyes at him, pointed to the tent entrance in the restored memory scene, and said softly: "Here it comes."
As soon as the words fell, a figure pushed the door and walked in.
The morning light leaped over his shoulders, outlining his silhouette, but because it was in a hurry to embrace the darkness in the room, it missed his face.
But just a silhouette was enough, because Cheng Shi would never forget the face of the Trickster Master who roared crazily on the ice field!
It really is him, Su Yi Da!
