Chapter 1371: Audience of Audience · Changing Roles

Audience of Audience · Changing Roles

The person behind the scenes has the convenience of the person behind the scenes.

Since there is a stage and a curtain at the scene, there is naturally a back door. That invisible curtain was like a monitor. With a shift in Cheng Shi's mind, he switched his perspective to the depths of the audience venue and saw that "corpse" that had fallen.

The corpse had already been resurrected and sat up.

Du Qiyu was rubbing his neck, sitting in the void without saying a word. He looked up at the heights, seemingly waiting for someone's arrival.

Cheng Shi curled his lips, tentatively pulling the curtain. In the gap between the two invisible curtains, he indeed saw that figure from before the curtain!

The backstage can naturally walk to the front stage, and Du Qiyu was completely unaware of this.

This meant that at this very moment, as long as Cheng Shi pulled the curtain and walked out, he could appear in front of the beast tamer and question the other party's true identity.

But he didn't rush out. Instead, he waited for a period of time, observing that Du Qiyu had no other ambitions and was really honestly waiting for Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's arrival, only then confirming that the other party wasn't an ambitious person, at least holding genuine "trust" toward Envoy Envoy Yu Xi.

Although the origin of this trust was strange, Cheng Shi felt it was enough. He smiled, transformed into Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, pulled back the curtain, and walked out.

The real Envoy Envoy Yu Xi immediately took the stage.

In a place the audience couldn't see, the lead actor quietly changed his identity.

A pair of slender arms were the first to intrude into Du Qiyu's field of vision, followed by the bamboo-pole-like body and that familiar pure white mask. The beast tamer discovered Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's arrival at the first moment. A slight astonishment flashed across his face, but his body reacted quickly, immediately standing up, bowing and saluting in Cheng Shi's direction with a joyful and respectful expression:

"Praise the great Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, you have come far faster than I imagined."

Cheng Shi stepped forward, hummed, and didn't respond, instead wantonly sizing up the "old friend from childhood" in front of him, the more he looked, the more he felt there was a problem with the other party's identity.

He didn't speak, just stared at the other party, applying silent pressure.

In the silent void, at the very bottom of the Audience of Audience, this sense of pressure was magnified manifold. Even though Du Qiyu didn't seem afraid of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, he still couldn't help but retreat half a step slightly.

Seeing Envoy Envoy Yu Xi remain silent for a long time, Du Qiyu carefully raised his head and tentatively asked: "My lord?"

Cheng Shi glanced at the other party's eyes, always feeling that he had seen the eyes of this Xiao Qi in front of him somewhere before. Could it be that the person playing Du Qiyu was also an acquaintance of his?

But who would go to play a perverted beast tamer, and what would be the purpose of playing him?

Cheng Shi knew he should speak. Endless silence would only make the other party suspicious, so he rolled his eyes, looked up at the audience place above, and said gloomily:

"Self-righteous. Who told you I would definitely come?"

"?"

But haven't you already come?

Du Qiyu was stunned for a moment, his pair of eyes blinking and blinking, always feeling that today's Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi... was very strange.

Not like Him at all.

But this was, after all, the audience place of 【Fraud】. He couldn't tell if the other party had suffered some rule shackles, or was being watched by the owner of this place, 【Fraud】, so he could only cooperate and explain in a measured way:

"You saw my emblem, recognized my identity, didn't kill me, and kicked me down into the void—isn't that letting me wait for you here?

You are here..."

Du Qiyu looked around sneakily, then followed Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's gaze and glanced upward, saying silently, "Is it inconvenient to communicate?"

"!"

Emblem!

What emblem?

When he heard these two words, a flash of light suddenly crossed Cheng Shi's mind!

Fire Emblem? Proof of Passing the Fire!?

He was actually a Fire Passer!?

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank, suddenly realizing.

No, it should be said that the other party must be a Fire Passer; otherwise, Long Jing absolutely couldn't have let him go. But who could he be among the Fire Passers?

Cheng Shi looked at those blinking eyes, feeling more and more familiar, frantically recalling the Fire Passers he had had contact with, and pondering which ones might be connected to Xiao Qi.

Thinking and thinking, he really thought of one!

Xie Yang!

This neighbor of his had broken free from Xiao Qi's cage, and he had also joined the Fire Passers. Could Du Qiyu be Xie Yang?

Doesn't look like it.

Besides, how could a believer of 【War】 participate in the Audience of Audience of 【Fraud】?

Did Xie Yang break his oath? No, doesn't look like it.

Cheng Shi carefully observed Du Qiyu's eyes, always feeling that although there was perseverance in the other party's eyes, it wasn't as "persistent" as Xie Yang's, and the occasional flash of agility in those eyes didn't look much like a man's...

A woman?

Cheng Shi's brows furrowed even deeper.

And while Envoy Envoy Yu Xi was sizing up Du Qiyu, the confused Du Qiyu was also sizing up Envoy Envoy Yu Xi. He didn't doubt Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's identity; after all, no one dared to come here at this time to impersonate Envoy Envoy Yu Xi. He just didn't understand why Envoy Envoy Yu Xi kept staring at him, as if wanting to see something from him.

But soon, Du Qiyu figured it out himself.

He realized with a sudden "Oh," carefully pointed to the surroundings, and whispered: "My lord... can we talk?"

Cheng Shi was stunned, not thinking that he hadn't even thought of an excuse to urge the other party to say something, yet the other party actually had something to say.

Can talk, of course can talk.

He hummed and nodded: "Speak freely."

Du Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought it was inconvenient to communicate here, which was why his lord was silent. Seeing Envoy Envoy Yu Xi nod, he hurriedly explained:

"My lord, I know you are the Fire of Hope!"

"???"

No, buddy, who am I?

Fire of Hope?

Cheng Shi was dumbfounded.

How come I don't know I'm the Fire of Hope?

Du Qiyu was very nervous. Even though he had received permission, he still constantly guarded the surroundings, covering his mouth and whispering:

"Before coming, Sister Yue told me the bottom line. She said that if there was trouble at the Audience of Audience, I should say I am your person, that is, Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's person.

I asked why, and she wouldn't say, but I pestered her for a long time before she was willing to tell me that you are Envoy Envoy Yu Xi!

My lord, you have deceived us so bitterly..."

The last sentence had both complaints and surprises, with a few traces of familiarity in the crisp and melodious voice.

"......?"

Did I deceive you?

Cheng Shi blinked, always feeling that he had taken on a huge black pot.

The person who could be called "Sister Yue" by a Fire Passer was highly likely to be his old friend, the Salary Seeker Ji Yue. But why would Ji Yue say that Envoy Envoy Yu Xi was the Fire of Hope?

Who exactly spread this rumor?

With Ji Yue's 【Truth】 brain, if she hadn't verified it, she would never speak empty words. But she hadn't seen Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, so where would she...

Wait!

She hadn't seen Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, but she had seen the Fire of Hope!

The Salary Seekers of the Fire Passers could naturally see the Fire of Hope, so could this rumor have been spread from the Fire of Hope's side?

What is He doing, building momentum for his own identity?

Creating himself into the god who protects the Fire Passers?

Hiss—thinking about it this way, it's not impossible.

Cheng Shi, who had figured everything out, was stunned for a long time, then laughed and shook his head.

No wonder this Du Qiyu was so bold, daring to report his family name at the Audience of Audience. It turned out he had nothing to fear.

And no wonder he and Long Jing could cooperate. Two muddled eggs were half-ignorant of each other. If even one of them had known a little more, today's performance wouldn't have been performed to this point.

Sure enough, in the era of 【Nothingness】, everything can happen, especially on the stage of 【Fraud】.

What a muddled clown circus. ===== CHAPTER 1372 =====
