Chapter 1352
Wei Mu's conjecture
But Wei Mu had never shared this secret with the outside world; he knew well that once it was known to the world, the world's "faith" in him would cease to exist.
Even if what he borrowed was just the brainpower the world didn't use, no one would be willing to passively lend their brain.
Fear would only push the world to escape Wei Mu's shadow.
Although this brainpower was just an aid for him to think about the world, it is easy to go from frugal to luxurious, but difficult to go from luxurious to frugal. In this era where the rhythm is accelerating, once he loses the borrowing of faith, he cannot guarantee that he can still stand at the forefront of the era at all times and steadily watch how the great waves of the era move forward.
Cheng Shi also realized some essence of faith after 【Time】's "Faith Class," so he spoke the guess just now.
And looking at the puppet's reaction, he clearly guessed right.
Cheng Shi suddenly curled the corners of his mouth; although he still couldn't guess what Wei Mu had done using faith, he knew he seemed to have suddenly gained a hand, a trump card that could threaten Wei Mu.
He looked at the little wooden puppet, didn't stay on this topic for too long, and while Qin Xin hadn't reacted yet, Cheng Shi smiled again:
"Then what do you say I came here for?"
The little wooden puppet's expression tightened, and he continued honestly:
"The divine throne!"
His tone was extremely firm. After his handle was grasped by others, Wei Mu no longer needed to probe; Envoy Envoy Yu Xi was clearly a master, and when facing such a master, sincerity was far more useful than probing.
"【War】 has been silent for too long.
Although it wasn't active before, at least it wouldn't 'walk' together with its opposite.
I don't rule out that it had some accident, or was trapped somewhere, but its accident will definitely be an opportunity for you lords.
You want to occupy a seat in the Assembly of Gods?
No, it should be two seats.
【Prosperity】... is also on the side of Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, right?
Resistance is never achieved overnight; if you want to shake off the fate that belongs to you, you must accumulate strength.
To say something offensive, if I were you, Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, I would first hold enough 【Convention】 voting power in my hands, use the rules of the current world as armor to protect myself.
Of course, this armor might be able to resist everything within this world, but once outside the world..."
Speaking of this, the puppet stopped talking.
The unknown cannot be speculated; his silence was not the end of the topic, but an invitation to the answer.
He hoped that Envoy Envoy Yu Xi could supplement his perspective outside the world, and he had already proven one point to Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, which was that as long as there are clues, I can keep reasoning!
Cheng Shi indeed took a fancy to Wei Mu's brain; he pondered for a moment, and before telling the truth of the universe, he asked a question.
"How do you compare yourself to your master, 【Dementia】?"
Wei Mu was stunned, and without the slightest hesitation, answered honestly:
"I am not as good as it."
"?" Cheng Shi smiled, "Then why do you always despise it?"
"Just angry that it doesn't strive for success."
"..."
How is this anger that it doesn't strive for success? Isn't this rebelling against the master?
Who exactly is the master between the two of you?
Cheng Shi shook his head and laughed, but then his face sank, and he said extremely seriously: "Even your master can't find the answer to this world, so what's the use of telling you?"
The scheming clown played a trick here; he didn't say he was seeking the answer himself, but stole the concept and transferred the motivation to solve the answer to Wei Mu, making it sound like Wei Mu wanted to explore the truth and took the initiative to seek information.
He used the comparison with 【Dementia】 to stimulate the puppet's competitive spirit, confused the relationship between host and guest to pull the wise man into the game, and then used the handle he just got to change the momentum, instantly making the offense and defense of the scene change.
Wei Mu changed from an intruder who broke the secret back into a "pilgrim" who wanted to peek at the secret, just like on the terrace of Doer-Gede.
And to this, Wei Mu, who saw through Cheng Shi's trick, had no objection.
Because he had always longed to know the truth of the universe and had always longed to see through the foolish acts of the world, so rather than saying Cheng Shi pulled him into the game, it was better to say he threw himself into the game.
This was a conspiracy that both sides were willing to participate in; both sides knew each other's inner thoughts clearly. One was willing to ask, one was willing to say, one wanted an answer, one wanted clues...
So Wei Mu pondered slightly and thought of the best response to Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's question.
He said:
"The answer of 【Dementia】 is the answer of the world, and my answer is your answer.
It won't think what you think, but I will."
One sentence gave Cheng Shi the best step down and completely convinced Cheng Shi.
He looked at the puppet before him with appreciation, and before telling the whole truth, he asked the "Dementia" question one last time:
"Can I trust you?"
The puppet's eyeballs rotated mechanically for a moment, and he said faintly:
"That depends on you, great Envoy Envoy Yu Xi."
Cheng Shi shook his head and laughed, no longer hiding, and told what he had seen and known in the real universe and everything that happened in the fake curtain call to this smartest player in the 【Faith Game】.
"I want to see 【Origin】!
"?"
Qin Xin drew his giant bow at the first moment; because they had just talked about 【Origin】, he was not sure where Wei Mu's "offline" problem came from.
Seeing this, the Hope Fire's flames swayed and said: "He is here."
"Who?"
"Still the puppet."
As soon as the words fell, the original puppet suddenly fell apart and exploded, leaving only countless puppet threads coiled on the table. The threads stood up one by one, connecting to the void outside the space, and then several threads tightened suddenly, pulling with force, dragging a new puppet out of the void.
This puppet was slightly larger than the original one; he landed on the tabletop, his expression still stiff, but his voice was more solid.
"Sorry, I just felt that dragging the true body over would be more sincere."
The puppet bowed to the three people on the scene again, then raised his head and stared straight at Cheng Shi, pondered for a moment, and said, "Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, can I start?"
"???"
Cheng Shi was stunned, "You already thought of the answer?"
Wei Mu shook his head heavily:
"No, this world might not have an answer at all.
I just calculated from your perspective what 【Deception】 and 【Time】 are planning.
【Dementia】 once said when summoning me that if there is a distinction between high and low in the foolish acts of the universe, then the foolish act of 【Deception】 is the highest, and the foolish act of 【Time】 is the lowest.
I asked it why.
It said:
Knowing foolishness and being foolish, this is foolish;
Knowing foolishness, committing foolishness, and deceiving oneself that one is not foolish, this is the most foolish.
【Time】 is the former, 【Deception】 is the latter.
At that time, I didn't understand what it meant; looking back now, 【Dementia】 probably saw the intentions of 【Deception】 and 【Time】 long ago."
"What intentions?" Cheng Shi asked with a frown.
The puppet turned his eyeballs, glanced elsewhere, and said faintly, word by word:
"They want to create an... 【Origin】."
"!!??"
