Audience Assembly · Opening

No one knows what the process of the so-called Audience Assembly is, or what kind of grand scene it is.

Players only know that only the top ten players in the Audience Ladder faith ranking have the opportunity to be summoned by the gods, and see the true face of the gods on the first anniversary of the 【Faith Game】's descent.

So the closer the time, the more frequent the players' prayer trials; low and medium-score players know there is no hope and won't waste energy at this time, but those peak players who are just one step away from the door won't give up this opportunity to face the gods directly.

So they worked harder, and then became more disappointed.

Because the most peak batch of people are also fighting!

Even if some top ten players have already seen the gods, no one will think that the Audience Assembly related to the Audience Ladder, one of the two most important leaderboards of the 【Faith Game】, will be as "ordinary" as an ordinary audience.

So in the three days Cheng Shi was away, the 【Faith Game】 was really lively.

However, these lively things have nothing to do with the Fool; you think it's lively, I only think it's noisy.

Cheng Shi really wanted to leave himself some time to quietly sort out everything he had experienced, do a review, and lay a solid foundation for taking that unknown step in the future.

But some gods don't give him a chance at all; he can only be forced to move forward and go with the flow, push open that door, and come to the... of the Audience Assembly.

Hmm?

This doesn't seem to be the venue where the Audience Assembly is held, but more like backstage of the stage?

Cheng Shi, who was wrapped here by the power of the void, condensed his gaze and paused his steps.

In front of him was not a space similar to a venue, but an endless void, only a layer of elusive, transparent curtain that looked like it didn't exist but could actually be touched was floating in front of this void.

And behind that invisible and weird curtain was the real audience venue.

That venue was incomparably huge; saying it was a venue, in fact, there was no venue, and no ground.

That was countless visible refractive threads piercing through the void, hanging countless huge masks in the endless pitch black.

Each thread only strung one mask, at different angles, but the threads were dense, almost weaving the entire void!

This scene was exactly the same as the mask wind chimes Cheng Shi saw before stepping into the door, except that the wind chimes here were exaggeratedly large!

Each mask was an independent place to stand; at this moment, six figures were standing on different masks, looking at each other, observing the surroundings, uneasy and vigilant.

Their heights decreased in order, just like their rankings in the Audience Ladder, and the ten mask seats were like a spiral staircase, winding in the center of the venue, except that the top three seats and the bottom seat were unoccupied.

Cheng Shi watched everything in front of him silently, his eyelids jumping fiercely.

Sure enough, guessed wrong.

This is the God of Amusement; even if he broke into the door of 【Fate】 with his head down, he still came to the audience place of 【Fraud】, and not only that, that shadow Cheng Shi who stepped into the door of 【Fraud】... also came here.

Cheng Shi never thought that he would deeply understand what "different paths lead to the same destination" meant at this time; a benefactor addicted to fraud didn't give him a second choice at all.

The two doors He opened on the roof were clearly a tease!

"Heh, Fool."

But he is used to it.

Cheng Shi smiled self-deprecatingly.

Fortunately, there are often sweet dates after teasing; at least he didn't appear in the venue of the Audience Assembly like others, but what does this curtain represent? Is it letting him hide behind the scenes and watch a good show?

Thinking this way, Cheng Shi gradually approached the curtain, quietly waiting for the "performance" to begin.

And for the players in the venue, their performance had actually started long ago.

Long Jing was the first 【Fraud】 believer to arrive at the venue; he knew that it was already difficult for his ranking in the Audience Ladder to exceed Long Wang and Seeing Zhen Xin, so he could only try to surpass them in audience speed, so the moment the Audience Door opened, he rushed in without hesitation.

Sure enough, he did it; he was the first person to arrive at the venue.

But this was not enough; this was not enough to show his piety; personal piety was a bit thin after all; if he could add some amusement to this piety, then he might get more attention from the God of Amusement.

And the more attention from the God of Amusement, naturally meant being closer to Him; in this way, the contribution to the various plans of the Fool would be greater; he didn't believe that he couldn't get a useful sentence from the God of Amusement with his piety.

Thinking of this step, Long Jing pressed the secret joy in his heart and hid secretly.

He hid under the highest mask platform, waiting for Seeing Zhen Xin to come and give her a surprise, to avenge his embarrassment at the first Fool Assembly.

But he didn't expect that this wait would last until now.

Seeing Zhen Xin and Long Wang hadn't come yet, and Cheng Shi hadn't come either; instead, six liars came one after another.

Peak liars all knew each other; even if they weren't familiar, they had seen each other in various trials, so there were no greetings or familiarity between them, only vigilance against each other.

They understood peers too well, and understood the God of Amusement even better; no one wanted to become that amusement in such an important occasion.

Being deceived by peers in the past, just scolding them would pass, but if you were deceived at the Audience Assembly of 【Fraud】...

Believe me, this group of liar peers will never let you go.

Once the Audience Assembly ends, you will become the biggest amusement in this world, at least in this period of time!

So in order not to become that amusement, every liar was ready to go, trying to reduce their presence as much as possible, avoiding being attacked by the group.

This led to the Audience Assembly of 【Fraud】, which should have been the liveliest, almost "cold-field"; six pairs of eyes rolled around like ADHD, but six mouths seemed to believe in 【Silence】, and no one dared to speak.

Long Jing was numb from waiting, still didn't wait for Seeing Zhen Xin; he even wondered if the treatment of the number one on the list was different from everyone else, and had already gone for a one-on-one audience?

Then what about Long Wang, why hasn't he come yet?

Oh, right, Long Wang is named 【Fraud】 but is actually 【Memory】; maybe he is participating in the Audience Assembly of 【Memory】?

Not impossible.

Then what about Cheng Shi, why doesn't he come either?

There are four Fools in the ten peak liars in total; now you tell me that except for myself, the other three are missing; is this right?

And I am the first one to arrive at this venue; is this right!?

Not right! Not right at all!

You can't treat me as a Fool every time; I am an acrobat! What happened that you are hiding from me again!?

Actually, regarding this Audience Assembly, the Fools really didn't hide anything from Long Jing.

But outside this grand audience, Seeing Zhen Xin really didn't confess to the Fools.

Cheng Shi leaving the world to go to the Real Universe couldn't be known by more people; Seeing Zhen Xin naturally wouldn't say much; in order to avoid suspicion, she didn't even see other Fools, so Long Jing naturally didn't know that the magician had inherited the 【Chaos】 divine throne and went to another Audience Assembly to be a "judge."

As for Li Jingming, he guessed right; the other party went to the Audience Assembly of 【Memory】.

Cheng Shi was the only one of the three who arrived at the scene of the 【Fraud】 Audience Assembly, but he was backstage, not front stage, which led to the acrobats on the stage hiding under the masks and waiting for a long time, without waiting for a single Fool.

When there is only one Fool left on the stage, he must be the real Fool.

Long Jing was tired; at this moment he wanted to give up his amusement manufacturing plan.

He was afraid that if he waited any longer, he would become that amusement.

And it was at this time that others finally became suspicious of the four peak liars who hadn't arrived for a long time.

"I don't believe that the one surnamed Zhen won't participate in the Audience Assembly; everyone be careful, maybe she is hiding under someone's mask, waiting to turn you into an amusement?"

"Heh, Seeing Zhen Xin might not do this, but Zhen Yi... hard to say."

As soon as the words fell, there were successive... on the mask platforms of different heights on the scene.

"Heh~"

"......"

"......"

"......"

The short communication fell silent again.
