Chapter 1280: That's right, I am Envoy Envoy Yu Xi

That's right, I am Envoy Envoy Yu Xi

The disappearance of the two players was clearly problematic.

Frod's disappearance indicated that these two people had found their target, but they didn't come back after finding the target, and instead disappeared with the key NPC, the deep meaning of which was intriguing.

No one would doubt Zhen Xin's IQ, nor would they feel that it was Zhen Yi possessing her at this moment, deliberately making trouble and taking away the target. After all, she had the Grand Marshal by her side. With Hu Wei's attitude towards Zhen Yi, the fact that no large-scale battle traces were found in the Imperial City meant that the Zhen-surnamed player must have taken Frod away in the capacity of the older sister.

But why did they hide the NPC?

What secret was Frod carrying?

Cheng Shi frowned and began to think.

Reviewing the whole story of the duel between Chen Xi and Xi Mu, it was not hard to find that what Frod could do was nothing more than hiding Maxfort, using the jester's fake death to trick the opposing jester into performing a play, or killing Maxfort to frame the opponent in order to win the final duel.

But the problem was, based on the feelings for Maxfort expressed in Frod's diary, Cheng Shi didn't think this was a circus troupe leader who could put the victory of Chen Xi completely above feelings. Even if the other party wanted to win with such dirty means, she would never kill Maxfort.

So the truth was obvious: Frod must have used means to hide Maxfort, thereby deceiving Fite.

But Maxfort was not a jester who would shrink from battle. He had a soul resonance with Lake, and both wanted to defeat each other fairly on the stage. Would such a jester agree to Frod's plan to hide himself and use Lake's "heart of justice" to win?

Probably not!

That meant the launch of the plan was not up to him; he had no say in the whole plan, and not even the right to refuse!

This was even stranger. Besides being an actor on the stage, the jester position was also the successor to the troupe leader, equivalent to the deputy troupe leader of the circus. How could such an important position have no say in a plan that bet the reputation of Chen Xi?

This didn't make sense, and it didn't fit the relationship between Maxfort and Frod, unless...

He had permanently lost his right to speak!

He really died!?

Cheng Shi shook all over, suddenly realizing!

The ferocious stroke at the end of Frod's diary clearly showed that she must have heard some shocking news. But what could a circus troupe leader who had seen all kinds of storms hear that could make her lose her composure like this?

Is it possible that it was... the news of the jester's death?

So the jester was very likely really dead, but not at the hands of Troupe Leader Fite, but died from some other "accident" that couldn't be guessed yet.

It could have been done by a fanatical fan of Xi Mu, it could have been done by a thief for money on the way, or it could have been done by Chen Xi's own fans out of love turning into hate...

In short, no matter what it was, Lady Frod couldn't accept the result of losing without a fight, so she used the jester's death, with a clever trick, to make Xi Mu bear the consequences of Maxfort's absence from the final duel for Chen Xi.

After straightening all this out, Cheng Shi, as smart as he was, immediately guessed the reason why Zhen Xin took Frod away.

Actually, it wasn't hard to guess. As early as when Cheng Shi heard that the jester was the key to the circus final duel, he had substituted himself in. Not to mention how similar the competition between the two camps of Chen Xi and Xi Mu was to the Fear faction and the established 【Fate】...

That was why Cheng Shi was unusually vigilant about this trial from the beginning.

Now he had just figured everything out and finally connected the story in the trial with his own experience.

Since Chen Xi never existed, does that mean 【Deception】... also never existed?

He is an outsider!?

Cheng Shi widened his eyes suddenly, a trace of imperceptible fear flashing in his eyes. He finally realized that the so-called "Fear faction" was very likely a trap, just to trick Lake of Xi Mu into the camp of Chen Xi!

But why?

Even if 【Deception】 was that outer god and had designs on him, what about the other gods?

【Death】, 【Time】, 【Silence】... They couldn't all be outer gods, right!?

If not, why cooperate with an outer god and push themselves away from this world?

Could it be that their will truly deviated from 【Fate】?

In this game, 【Fate】's choice was undoubtedly himself. Then these few gods who had always been protecting him, if their stance was really helping the outer god 【Deception】, wouldn't all the kindness they had shown him before have been deceiving him all along!

Did they think 【Fate】 was wrong in the first place!?

Or was it that after learning the truth of the universe from the outer god 【Deception】, the gods of the Fear faction thought 【Fate】's offering was meaningless, so they denied the choice of this master of 【Nothingness】!?

How confused!

If 【Fate】's choice was meaningless, what was the outer god 【Deception】 fighting for!?

Didn't He also want an answer that could answer the Creator's answer sheet!

And that answer... looking at it now, could no longer be denied, it was himself!

At the moment of thinking of this, Cheng Shi's scalp went numb, thunder exploded in his brain, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

【Deception】 was going to show his cards to him!

He dared to confess everything with a trial at this time, definitely because he had already controlled the overall situation and had the confidence to win.

It was ridiculous that he had followed His will and done so many things. Looking back now, wasn't he helping a human trafficker sell himself!?

Then what about 【Fate】?

Just watching 【Deception】 succeed!?

At this moment, Cheng Shi felt that he was a jester.

He had blasphemed 【Fate】 all the way, and in the end, when he pierced through the facade of 【Deception】 and saw his true colors, he found that it seemed only 【Fate】 could save him.

Of course, the "save" here only meant that 【Fate】, according to His will, would intercept Cheng Shi from the hands of 【Deception】 and keep the jester in this world.

But don't forget, 【Fate】 had no purpose, and the sacrifice chosen was still Cheng Shi!

In other words, for Cheng Shi, the only two paths left in front of him were very likely two dead ends!

Either be taken away by the outer god 【Deception】 and become a sacrifice for another world; or stay in his own world and become a sacrifice for 【Fate】.

Apart from this, there was no other choice!

"Ha~"

Cheng Shi, who had been frowning, suddenly laughed out loud. His exaggerated expression startled the other two people present.

"I finally confirmed one thing.

It turns out that the unlucky guy... was really me.

I can't deceive myself anymore, and I have no chance to deceive myself again."

Cheng Shi took a deep breath, looked at the two stunned Jesters in front of him, and said every word clearly:

"At the moment of life and death, I can no longer hide anything from you all.

That's right, I am indeed Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, a jester who was tricked into becoming a god, a poor worm who became more and more afraid because of getting close to fear.

This is a long story. If the two of you want to listen, you must first answer me a question.

Can I...

trust you?"

You are Envoy Envoy Yu Xi!?

How can you be Envoy Envoy Yu Xi!?

Long Jing was dumbfounded.

Once upon a time, he hadn't suspected it. After all, in his cognition, Envoy Envoy Yu Xi had even played Cheng Shi, but he had convinced himself that Envoy Envoy Yu Xi was someone else. You tell me now that you are Envoy Envoy Yu Xi!?

Then what does my thinking count as?

Does it count as me having a brain? This is clearly having no brain!

The acrobat was very angry. He didn't know if Cheng Shi was lying again, he just wanted to say, even if you lie, can you not pick on one person to lie to?

But after seeing Cheng Shi's serious expression, Long Jing swallowed the complaints in his heart.

He rarely saw Cheng Shi so serious; the last time was at the Jester Assembly when the other party revealed the truth of the universe to them.

Then this time, what secret will this real jester reveal to them?

It wouldn't be that after talking to the end, everyone suddenly realized that I was the jester, right!?

I should be an acrobat radiating charm on the stage, not a jester with a red nose making the audience burst into laughter!!

Long Jing's mood was complex, and he remained silent.

Zhang Jizu on the side narrowed his eyes tightly, also staring at Cheng Shi with a solemn face, and asked:

"How to trust? Open your heart and show your bottom?"

Cheng Shi nodded seriously, and just as he was about to ring the bone bell again, he heard squinty Old Zhang say in a deep voice:

"Cannot.

Because I deceived you.

The bone bell was not a gift from that Lord, but a lie from 【Deception】.

He said He would save the world, so I believed Him."

"!!??"

Cheng Shi was stunned.

He stretched out his hand, looking at the only "hope" in his hand, and the sky collapsed.

【Deception】 playing three roles wasn't enough, he even had to play that Lord to deceive people?

Squinty Old Zhang, Old Zhang, how could you dare to believe Him?

Heh, saving the world?

It is indeed saving the world, but whose world is 【Deception】 saving!?

The world of the outer god and our world, are they the same thing!?

Cheng Shi gripped the bone bell in his hand and lowered his arm powerlessly.

"I..." Zhang Jizu looked apologetic and wanted to say something else.

Cheng Shi waved his hand, interrupting him.

"It doesn't matter anymore.

Since He has laid everything out, it means everyone has fallen into the trap He wove with lies.

It's not just you who was deceived, I was too. If His scheme could be seen through by someone, He wouldn't be called 【Deception】...

I was wrong, I trusted Him wrongly.

But changing now, perhaps it's still not too late!"
