Chapter 127

I do miss the past, but is your act over yet?

"Now, I'm curious, how will you choose?"

Big Cheng Shi stood aside with a smile, quietly waiting for Cheng Shi's answer.

The choice of fate does not have fixed options. When a player who thinks they know the entire thread of fate actively initiates the choice, it will appear in every player's field of vision.

This feeling is very similar to the follow-up event selection that pops up after a game's completion progress reaches 90%.

It's just that the options inside need to be filled in by yourself.

When an option that matches the trial clues is submitted, that option becomes a public option for the choice and appears in front of everyone, automatically gaining 1 vote.

When the submitted option does not match the trial clues, the individual vote is considered a failure, the voting right is lost, and there will basically be no points for this round.

The option with the most votes will serve as the development direction for the subsequent trial, and fate will definitely evolve in this direction.

No matter what history is, no matter what reality is, in His trial, He has the final say.

Not only that, the losers might also suffer some teasing from fate, just because you stood on the side contrary to fate.

Seeing Cheng Shi frowning and finding it difficult to make a decision, Big Cheng Shi shook his head and laughed:

"Innocent and ignorant residents treated as experimental subjects;

The Messenger of God who is both the behind-the-scenes promoter and the guardian of the town's continuation;

Zainjier, who created all this but failed due to the birth of the 【Eternal Sun】's consciousness, and was abandoned by the Erudite Chair Council;

And, the Erudite Chair Council, which is facing the risk of bankruptcy in the experiment but is helpless and can only hide behind the scenes and watch coldly.

Even one more:

Unlucky travelers captured by the Tower of Reason, brainwashed by alchemy, and thrown here...

The options for 【Fate】 must hit the proposition. Since the truth is related to the pseudo-god, then the side being saved can only be people or things that have entanglements with the pseudo-god.

And these five options will all be answers.

Ha, actually you don't need to be so entangled.

Because this is just a trial, perhaps...

It can't change anything."

Cheng Shi curled his lips after hearing this.

What if it does change?

"You care a lot about what I choose?"

"No, no, no, I'm just watching... the fun."

"..."

I knew it.

Cheng Shi sighed and asked back:

"What do you think I should choose?"

"You shouldn't ask me. I came back to find fun, not to take responsibility."

"Since nothing can be changed, what responsibility do you need to take?"

"Influencing your choice might make Him unhappy."

"Hehe, you are me, and I am you, so how can there be influence? Since that's the case, give me a suggestion that He would be happy with."

Big Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment, blinked and said:

"You really want to know?"

Cheng Shi wanted to nod, but whether it was because he had been standing for too long or because he had been thinking too much just now, he actually felt dizzy for a moment.

His whole body also felt weak in the knees, and he fell forward, looking like he was about to fall off the platform where the giant's corpse hands were joined.

Big Cheng Shi was quick-witted and grabbed him.

"You are very weak."

"It's fine, it's probably the aftereffect of the Life Sage's resurrection just now. I feel like my body hasn't recovered to its best state."

As he said this, he stood up while holding Big Cheng Shi's arm and immediately gave himself a healing spell.

"Tell me, give me some advice. You helped me find all the answers, so help me to the end."

"..." Big Cheng Shi frowned and looked at Cheng Shi, slightly puzzled:

"You have a problem. This is not like you, or rather, this is not like me."

Cheng Shi laughed bitterly.

"Even the strongest person has times of fatigue. Usually, I make decisions alone, but now that I finally have some ethereal reliance...

This feeling reminds me of when I asked the old man for advice when I was looking for a job..."

Hearing this, Big Cheng Shi's face instantly turned gloomy.

But it didn't take long for him to laugh again.

"It's good to be vigilant, but it's a bit late. If I were fake, then you wouldn't know all the truths just now.

The old man didn't give me any advice when I was looking for a job...

I found the job myself, and only notified him after it was finalized.

You should miss the smile he had when he learned you had a job to go to, not...

Some ethereal advice.

However, to be able to maintain vigilance under such high-density information, I am very gratified."

Big Cheng Shi shook his head with a smile, his nostalgic expression like seeing his own cunning past.

Cheng Shi also giggled along.

"I just feel that everything is too smooth, it's a bit unbelievable, sorry, instinctive testing."

"No need to apologize, if you didn't test me, I would be disappointed."

"Alright, stop with the long face. I am you, you are me. Now give me some advice. I mean, the kind of advice that is good for me!"

"Our principle is, do not..."

Cheng Shi interrupted Big Cheng Shi, stared into his eyes, and said seriously, word by word:

"Opportunity is rare, just this once."

"..."

Big Cheng Shi smiled.

"You are smarter than I was in the past, and you know how to be flexible.

Okay, since you want it, my advice is:

Zainjier!"

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank. He frowned and repeated in disbelief:

"Zainjier?"

"Correct, let him get salvation, perhaps it will allow him to get out of the state of vitality loss and regain control of the experiment.

And this also means that the authority of 【Birth】 and 【Filth】 will continue to be stolen.

If there is such a day, the experiment succeeds...

A mortal stealing their authority is the best fun."

Cheng Shi understood.

Big Cheng Shi's thinking was still biased towards offering to the Benefactor.

So he nodded and said thoughtfully:

"You really are His believer."

"Otherwise?

How about it, how is my advice?"

"So that's your plan...

I understand, but didn't you say 'this is just a trial, perhaps, it can't change anything'?"

"When a good show is about to be staged, when He looks here, who can guarantee that the result that couldn't be changed won't change?"

"But this is a 【Fate】 trial..."

"Who told you that 【Fate】 doesn't like watching fun?"

"?"

Cheng Shi was stunned.

【Fate】 likes watching fun?

I think He likes watching my fun!

He gave a bitter laugh, rubbed his face, relaxed all the muscles on his face, and then showed a very standard smile, saying to Big Cheng Shi:

"My teammates, I suppose they have all been controlled by you..."

"Except for that Life Sage who is communicating feelings with Zainjier, correct, you can say that.

Want anyone to die?

Or, have your eye on someone?

I think that little singer girl is not bad, much better than the Wind-Taming Ranger. Why not consider it?"

Big Cheng Shi teased him, beaming with joy.

Cheng Shi also laughed along, but as he laughed, this joyful smile faded.

"By the way, I seem to have never told you that I lost a teammate. How did you know?

Even if there is one less player stepping in here, couldn't it be that he didn't come?"

Big Cheng Shi didn't seem surprised by this question. He curled his lips and said playfully:

"Starting again?

Very good, I can tell you.

As the opposite of 【Memory】, in my long-term confrontation with Him, I have also realized some methods of playing with memory.

So, it's not difficult to know everything that happened here."

Cheng Shi "suddenly realized"!

"Oh~ is that so.

Then does that mean you can also see my memories through this method?"

"?"

Big Cheng Shi didn't expect that he had been circled in. He laughed out loud:

"No need, I just need to savor everything I have experienced once, and I will know what your past has.

Because I am you, and you are me.

I remember our loneliness, remember our pain, remember us being adopted by the old man, remember us regaining a new life, and remember..."

"Enough!"

Cheng Shi rudely interrupted Big Cheng Shi's speech and started laughing again.

But there was not a trace of empathy in the smile, but endless sarcasm and indifference.

"Is the act over yet?

I'm a bit... tired of watching."

"?"

Big Cheng Shi was slightly stunned. He looked at Cheng Shi in confusion, frowning as if thinking about something.

Cheng Shi curled his lips, looked at the person in front of him playfully, and clapped his hands with emotion:

"Clap, clap, clap, clap—

What a wonderful performance, what a seamless disguise.

I was almost fooled by you.

Amazing, truly amazing.

However, just as He said...

In an unrehearsed performance, there will always be some problems of this or that kind, but the actors themselves often don't realize it.

But it doesn't matter, the audience saw it.

Let me tell you, where it went wrong.

However, before that, how should I address you?

Sha Man?

Qin Chaoge?

The murderer we have been looking for?

Or...

Cheng Shi wiped away his smile, stared fixedly at "Big Cheng Shi", and spat out a name word by word:

"Zhen Xin?"
