Chapter 1314

Disappointment and amnesia

Reality, a barren mountain in an unknown province.

The barren mountain at this time is no longer what it was yesterday; the already sparse mountain forest has now become rotten wood, and looking around, it is a scene of decay.

And it was in this full-eyed withered yellow that a pair of glowing white long legs were swinging rhythmically on a huge tree stump.

The fine, greenish hair ends fluttered in the wind, and the dagger spinning in her hand played a melody.

Such a peaceful and leisurely picture, if it weren't for a "wooden stake" standing on the side who dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, it would truly be called comfortable.

Unfortunately, the person who destroyed all the beauty didn't think she was "guilty," because the "wooden stake" belonged here, and that splash of color was clearly an outsider!

Outsiders really deserve to die!

But if the outsider brought the Benefactor's oral instruction... wait, that's not impossible.

That's right, the person swinging the dagger and dazing silently is naturally Poison, this 【Filth-Falling】 god-chosen who lost desire is idly occupying someone else's territory, relaxing herself.

And standing on the side waiting silently is Qu Yan.

Just like his name, and like the current situation, he is submissive and silent.

After the special trial ended, Poison came here; this was not her first time here; when she and Chameleon found a second faith under the Envoy Envoy Yu Xi Lord, they "spontaneously and instinctively" formed a subtle alliance relationship.

Poison felt this was weak players huddling together for warmth, while Qu Yan believed that subordinates should be united, and only in this way could they solve problems for the Envoy Envoy Yu Xi Lord and please the god.

So, when Poison said she met the Envoy Envoy Yu Xi Lord again and brought an oral instruction for him, Qu Yan was silent.

This was not any resistance, because he originally believed in 【Silence】.

Just looking at those excited eyes, one knew that the other party's heart was not calm; he extremely wanted to know what the Envoy Envoy Yu Xi Lord said, but Poison just wouldn't say, just emptying herself in the mountains.

Until the sun set and the mountain wind grew colder, she put away the dagger, smiled at Qu Yan, and said:

"I told the Lord a big secret; to reward me, the Lord gave me this little chameleon of yours as a subordinate."

Before the words fell, Poison flew up, the dagger between her fingers flashed with silver light, parried a withered vine thorn arrow, flipped backward and landed, stepping steadily on the rotten leaves on the ground, her tone teasing:

"What, is the chameleon going to rebel?"

Qu Yan's face darkened, and he stopped paying attention to the other party.

He knew the Envoy Envoy Yu Xi Lord wouldn't make such a decision; he might not understand Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, but he understood himself.

Like such a "nameless" player, as long as he isn't bumped into by the Lord, it's highly likely he's hard to be mentioned by the Lord; otherwise, the other party wouldn't have gone so long without giving him other tasks.

He knew Poison was lying to him, but he still held hope; after all, who could refuse to follow a god in this game?

Unfortunately, when Poison said that sentence, Qu Yan's expectation shattered; he put away his bow and arrow, sat cross-legged on the ground, and closed his eyes.

Poison saw that she had lost the fun, sighed with a complex expression, sat on the ground with Qu Yan, and shook her head:

"Power desire... what does it taste like?"

"I didn't lie to you; I did see the Lord, and I did tell Him a secret."

"Delahierko is dead; He took away my desire before He died; I am now like you, like a believer of 'Silence,' not knowing how to 'express'."

Qu Yan was indifferent; it looked like he didn't know Delahierko.

Seeing that the conversation was not going well, Poison sighed again; she looked into the distance and said faintly:

"Sometimes I envy you people; you don't know anything, and you can be full of energy for a goal of becoming stronger."

"But what's the use of working hard? In the end, aren't you still muddled and dying at the end of the era?"

"If I told you that this world has long since had no hope, that everything you see is a wedding dress woven for others, and gods fight back and forth just for a foolish play, would you still feel that your life, your game, has meaning?"

"..."

Qu Yan still had no response.

Poison didn't want any response either; she didn't know what she was doing, nor did she know what she should be doing; she just instinctively wanted to continue her game mode, desperately playing her original self.

Seeing that it was getting late, she stood up, patted off the dust, and left without a word.

After Poison's figure disappeared, Qu Yan raised his eyebrows and took out a pair of earplugs from his ears.

That's right, he didn't hear Poison's later words at all; after Poison teased him once, he didn't want to listen to this "vicious woman's" lies again.

Sure enough, the more beautiful a woman is, the less trustworthy she is.

Fortunately, I didn't listen.

Nothingness, rule loophole, outside the world.

When a giant sword of flames broke the tranquility of this place, the light and shadow alternating reflected a face that was unclear.

"Grand Marshal" Hu Wei.

This was his first time returning here after discovering this place!

And the reason he returned here was very simple; he discovered that the wooden bell he used to contact Wei Mu had disappeared.

As a human-network-type player with a wide range of relationships, Hu Wei valued the contact method of every "friend" extremely highly, especially those god-chosen, so when he discovered that the wooden bell had disappeared, he instinctively felt that something had happened.

But he reviewed the entire trial and didn't find any abnormalities, nor did any teammates have contact with him.

Although the entire trial was led by liars, he confirmed that he had remained clear-headed and had never used that wooden bell; since that was the case, how did the wooden bell disappear?

Could it be that Wei Mu did something to the wooden bell when he gave him this contact token, and it would automatically disappear over time?

He doesn't want to have contact with him?

No, that's not right.

If this place is truly a rule loophole independent of the world as Wei Mu said, then its significance is major; even if Wei Mu is smart again, it's impossible for him not to find a collaborator for this; he is the most suitable choice, he wouldn't not understand.

So, how was the wooden bell lost?

Hu Wei couldn't figure it out, so he risked returning here after the trial ended; he wanted to find if there were any secrets he hadn't discovered or lost memories here.

But before he started exploring, he saw a familiar figure appear under the starry sky in the distance.

Wei Mu!

That puppet arrived here almost right after him!

Seeing Wei Mu, Hu Wei was dazed; he couldn't help but suspect that he had forgotten the memory of shaking the wooden bell just now.

But when seeing the same doubt in the puppet's eyes, Hu Wei's pupils shrank, realizing that something major must have happened!

The puppet floated slowly to the Grand Marshal's side, and the first sentence he said broke the reason for Hu Wei's appearance here.

"Lost the bell?"

Hu Wei's face changed, then he sighed and said as if it were nothing: "Yes, it seems you have already guessed what happened?"

Wei Mu shook his head rarely:

"Strange, I always feel that I experienced a foolish act that I will never forget in my life, but I have no memory at all."

"I suspect 【Memory】 is at work, but when I discovered that the wooden bell to summon 【Stupidity】 had disappeared, I ruled that out."

"【Memory】 might affect mortals, but it cannot affect 【Stupidity】."

"【Stupidity】 is incompetent again, but it will not be bound by 【Existence】."

"However, not all 【Existence】 belongs to this starry sky, so I followed the instinct of doubt and came here, wanting to see if the time here has changed, and if the synchronization between inside and outside is no longer aligned."

"But now, all this is not important; seeing you means that this world has indeed undergone some changes we don't know about."

"Let's talk about it, Grand Marshal; what have you experienced recently? This time node is caught very well; I suspect the special trial went wrong."

Hu Wei listened intently, trying to keep up with Wei Mu's rhythm, but still couldn't grasp the other party's jumping thinking; in the end, he gave up thinking and focused only on answering the other party's questions.

"A 【Deception】 trial that wasn't ordinary but also not brilliant; the ending was beyond my expectations, but it was also within reason..."

"【Deception】 trial?" The puppet was stunned and nodded slightly, "It seems He has told some heaven-deceiving lie again, to deceive the world..."

A book only has this one chance; I should have written it to be more like an ending. What a pity.

Hee~
