Audience of Audience · Passing the Fire

Du Qiyu's voice drowned out all the other liars. He bowed remotely toward the Envoy Envoy Yu Xi above, his gaze sweeping across everyone present, his expression playful as he said:

"Everyone, in this era where gods have descended to bestow a 【Faith Game】 upon the world, what do you think is the most laughable thing?"

The crowd glanced down at their feet, no one responding.

Or rather, it should be said that surely no one would respond; no one wanted to be the "straight man" in someone else's story, after all, they were in a competitive relationship.

Du Qiyu clearly didn't expect anyone else to respond either. Before long, he laughed to himself:

"Let me reveal the answer.

Naturally, it's a group of fools who vainly attempt to overthrow the gods and rebuild the world!

And I just happened to run into such fools.

Ha, the wise men of 【Dementia】 are arrogant, but they are right—ignorance is truly the original sin of the world.

The descent of the gods is the world's guidance. Not only are they unwilling to follow the guidance, but they actually want everything to return to the past without gods. This is more than just a fool's delusion; it is simply blasphemy against the gods!

What's even more laughable is that they actually approached me, thinking I was a comrade who could protect the beauty of the world with them.

Listen to that word—comrade?

Hahahaha, how truly stupid. I merely hid all my tamed beasts and made some slight disguises, and they believed it, even wanting to pull me into that organization that knows nothing of what it's doing.

Do you think I would agree?"

Du Qiyu knew how to master the rhythm of his speech. He paused again, beginning to size up everyone's expressions, seemingly wanting to find if there were any "fools" among this group of peers.

However, the liars were expressionless, revealing no flaws, which left Du Qiyu slightly disappointed.

It wasn't complete disappointment, though; at least Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi was "moved." He actually jumped down from the first platform, coming to Du Qiyu's side with eyes full of appreciation.

Envoy Envoy Yu Xi paced beside the beast tamer with his long, thin legs, smiling as he sized Du Qiyu up:

"Interesting. I'd like to know, in the face of such blasphemy, how did you handle it?"

Du Qiyu smiled slightly, seemingly not thinking there was any problem with his actions. He bowed again to pay his respects to Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi.

"Naturally, I sternly and righteously... accepted!"

A sharp glint flashed in Du Qiyu's eyes as he began to size everyone up again, including Envoy Envoy Yu Xi.

Envoy Envoy Yu Xi was taken aback, the smile on his face becoming increasingly eerie.

"Accepted?

It seems you also think the world needs to resist the gods?

Hmm, very good. I have seen your blasphemy. Now, begin to expound upon your piety; otherwise, I fear your path of faith is about to come to an end."

Envoy Envoy Yu Xi stared at Du Qiyu with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. However, there wasn't a trace of nervousness on the beast tamer's face. He laughed and said:

"My lord, you are mistaken. Everything I just said was not my blasphemy, but my piety.

I agreed to their invitation, not to join them in upholding some bullshit beauty or resisting the gods, but to blend into their midst and then turn them into the biggest joke of this era.

Resisting the gods might be a grave sin of blasphemy to other gods, but to our Benefactor, shouldn't this be the greatest fun in this universe!

Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, since I am in their midst, I can naturally pull more 'liars' into that organization. And once the essence of resistance turns into a 'circus,' ha, I think this farce will be enough to please our Benefactor and also move you.

What do you think?"

Du Qiyu's eyes were extremely bright. He stared fixedly at Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, observing his reaction the whole time.

Envoy Envoy Yu Xi merely curled the corners of his mouth, slowly walked behind the beast tamer, clapped twice, and asked with a smile:

"Not bad, not bad. But you've been talking for so long, and you still haven't said the name of that organization.

What, are you subconsciously protecting those blasphemers?"

Du Qiyu was stunned, then laughed in spite of himself: "Naturally not. They are called..."

"Shh!"

Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's long, thin arm suddenly reached over Du Qiyu's shoulder, gently holding a "1" to his lips, interrupting the other party. He looked at the other liars present and laughed loudly:

"It's too boring for only one person to speak. I want to ask, who else knows what this organization is called?"

The liars frowned and remained silent. Clearly, there was no second person present who knew about the blasphemer organization.

Envoy Envoy Yu Xi knew what was what and nodded. Then, he pressed down on Du Qiyu's shoulder, the smile on his face instantly vanishing. He leaned close to the beast tamer's back, leaned down, and sneered in his ear:

"Do you think the foolish acts of the world can be hidden from the gods?"

Du Qiyu was confused: "Of course not."

"Very good. Since they cannot, then the gods should have long known of the existence of this group of blasphemers. But why haven't They intervened or brought down the sin of blasphemy?"

Du Qiyu was stunned again, but then his eyes widened, his pupils shaking, as if he had realized something: "You mean there are gods protecting them!? There are rifts among the gods, and They are using these fools as tools to scheme against each other?"

"Smart!"

Envoy Envoy Yu Xi slapped Du Qiyu hard twice and laughed again: "Guess again, who... is the god protecting them?"

This question was indeed a question before it was asked, but once it came out of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's mouth, the answer was obvious!

"The God of Fun!?"

"The Benefactor?"

Before Du Qiyu could answer, the other liars had already exclaimed.

And it was at the very moment the liars thought of the answer that the long, thin palm resting on the beast tamer's shoulder gently gripped the beast tamer's neck.

"Smart, you guessed right.

But unfortunately, you guessed wrong."

As soon as the words fell, everyone heard a crisp "crack." Du Qiyu's pupils contracted violently and then slowly dilated, instantly losing their luster, and he collapsed into Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's arms without any resistance.

Envoy Envoy Yu Xi tutted incessantly, casually dropped the beast tamer's corpse, smiled, and looked up at the five remaining liars present:

"They are called Fire Passers, protected by our Benefactor.

You don't need to know their purpose; just remember, anyone who sees today's events must never blow out another person's fire.

As for what the fire is..."

Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's sharp gaze circled the room, the corners of his mouth curling up, smiling happily, "I shouldn't need to say much more, right?"

"!!!"

For a moment, the people present trembled all over, silent as cicadas in winter.

Someone had actually died at the Audience of Audience!

Not seeing the gods was one thing, but what was up with losing one's life?

Of course, it was possible Du Qiyu had gone to see 【Death】, but at this juncture, no one could make such a joke.

The Trickster Master who had fought Du Qiyu was particularly terrified. He was afraid that Envoy Envoy Yu Xi killing the other party wasn't because of some inexplicable Fire Passer, but because the two's fight had disrupted the "order" of the venue.

He even turned his head away, not daring to look at Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, calculating how he could leave this terrifying audience venue.

The Messenger of 【Fraud】 had once again displayed his deterrent power at the Audience of Audience.

Seeing that the crowd present didn't dare to make a sound, Envoy Envoy Yu Xi chuckled, kicked the corpse into the abyss at will, then jumped back onto the first platform, reached out to the liars below, and said:

"The examination continues. Who is next?"

"......"

This didn't look like an examination at all; it looked like a series of death warrants.

The crowd didn't dare to move for a moment, only able to stand stiffly on the spot, letting the silence flow.

Cheng Shi, behind the invisible curtain, saw everything, a trace of relief appearing in his gaze toward Long Jing.

Never blowing out another person's fire was a rule Cheng Shi had set for the Clowns. Long Jing being able to carry out the Clowns' will at this time undoubtedly showed that the acrobat had completely turned into the shape of a Clown.

But what was going on with that beast tamer who hadn't died?

That's right, Du Qiyu hadn't died at all!

Cheng Shi, behind the scenes, saw it clearly. The moment Long Jing, playing Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, placed his arm on Du Qiyu's shoulder, this beast tamer had secretly stuffed something behind his back to Long Jing!

And it was because of this thing that Long Jing hadn't broken the other party's neck, but instead borrowed the misaligned perspective to break his own wrist to make a sound, suppressing everyone present.

Breaking hands and feet for an acrobat couldn't even be called "breaking." These two had just used this non-destructive way to send a liar away from the Audience of Audience.

Yes, the beast tamer had been sent away!

Actually, if you think about it carefully, you can find the clues. If Envoy Envoy Yu Xi really wanted to deter the believers, there was no need to deal with the beast tamer's corpse; a corpse left on the platform would have more impact on the liars.

But he had chosen to kick the corpse into the abyss. This was both to avoid Du Qiyu's fake death being exposed due to time dragging on, and also to make an appointment with the other party. If Du Qiyu wasn't stupid, he would definitely be waiting for Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's arrival beneath the abyss.

The beast tamer probably didn't have the ability to see through the real and fake Envoy Envoy Yu Xi.

This was interesting.

Long Jing's intention to protect the Fire Passers absolutely couldn't be fake, but he had let go of Xiao Qi, who had attempted to expose the Fire Passers.

Based on Cheng Shi's understanding of Xiao Qi, a dog can't change its habit of eating shit. The real Du Qiyu absolutely couldn't have deceived Long Jing with such small tricks, so the answer was obvious: Long Jing had approved of the thing Du Qiyu had handed over, feeling that the other party had no problems.

And this was, on the contrary, Xiao Qi's biggest problem!

He absolutely wasn't Du Qiyu!

Who could it be?

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi glanced at the void deep in the venue, his brows slightly furrowed.

Regardless of who he is, go see... no, go bluff him and you'll know. ===== CHAPTER 1371 =====
