Chapter 1419: Deceived Again

Deceived Again

A wise man does not need emotions, but a wise man has emotions.

Although Wei Mu never mentioned it, he was by no means the kind of person who is cut off from the world, standing high above and despising the masses.

Whether it was Jieshu, Sun Miao, Jialiusha, or other 【Dementia】 believers, they were all somewhat tainted by 【Dementia】 characteristics and would still despise ignorance on certain occasions.

However, Wei Mu never did. His contempt seemed to be reserved only for 【Dementia】 itself.

This also meant he did not hate this "stupid" world.

He expressed emotion at Cheng Shi's deep feelings for this world; the subtext was that he appreciated this emotion, or at least had some similar emotional sustenance.

This might be because the act of 【Dementia】 hiding the authority made him one of the living beings within the world, allowing him to experience a "life" completely different from the authority; or perhaps it was because he had also put in effort and hard work to find the truth and future of this world, and the sunk costs evolved into special emotions; of course, there could be many other reasons, but with Wei Mu's departure, these reasons are no longer known to outsiders.

A wise man understands efficiency best, so he left decisively.

But it was also because he understood efficiency too well that some truths that were still being hidden were laid bare before Cheng Shi just like that.

【Fraud】!

Was He really looking for an answer?

If this Creator experiment was as He thought, then the real answer would never be in the real universe, because the variables appearing there should have been eliminated to avoid affecting other experiments.

So His departure was highly likely just an excuse. Then He...

No, I clearly met Him in the real universe. Those unforgettable starry eyes did not have the star points representing the 【Origin】, only the spiraling 【Fraud】—it could not be fake no matter what!

It was my overthinking.

There is still a turning point for the future.

"..."

Although he was thinking this, there was not a hint of joy or hope on Cheng Shi's face.

Benefactor, I ultimately never learned your ability to deceive yourself.

Even with more excuses, at this very moment, he could not deceive himself.

The 【Fraud】 seen in the real universe was definitely not fake, but the problem is He might not belong to this world either.

In an experimental field with countless sliced universes, it is not surprising to have several similar or even identical samples. So even if the star points were no longer in those eyes, Cheng Shi could not determine that He was his Benefactor.

And in the time before, 【Fraud】 had also set foot in the real universe. At that time, He still carried the power of the 【Origin】. Cheng Shi could imagine that the Benefactor with shining star points in His eyes would never swaggeringly carry the Creator's power and run around under the Creator's nose. So the most likely way was that He actively hid the star points in His eyes and traveled low-key in the real universe.

And this also brought a more terrifying possibility: which world and which stage of 【Fraud】 did I encounter!?

Cheng Shi was very remorseful. He felt he should have thought of all this long ago, but he was too eager to see the Benefactor in the real universe, so the moment he bumped into 【Fraud】, the excitement, joy, and relief washed away all suspicion.

Until he began to question himself, question the experiment, question the 【Origin】... he finally thought of these possibilities, but at that time he was still unwilling to believe, dared not believe, and was still silently deceiving himself.

And now, Wei Mu pointed everything out with the sentence, "【Fraud】 protected you very well. Unfortunately, He was not very good to Himself."

Ha.

Why?

Deceived again...

It's really unwilling, why am I always deceived?

I am clearly your believer, the only walker of 【Void】, the clown pushed to the front by the Fear Sect, the predetermined who has followed you forward with big strides all the way, even if hesitant and uneasy.

I believe in you so much, yet you always deceive me like this.

Is a clown meant to be deceived?

Heh, I, Cheng Shi, am really a clown.

Cheng Shi clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and swallowed the words in his mouth and the bitterness in his eyes.

The dream should wake up.

He smiled and wiped away the last tear from the corner of his eye.

The clown has lost protection; next, it is the clown's turn to protect this world.

The will of the Fear Sect, the last wish of 【Void】, the plotting of 【Fraud】, the future of the world—all are held in Cheng Shi's hands.

His expression turned stern. He took out his mask and countless dice, throwing them into the sky. The mask hung high, and the dice scattered like rain.

This scene looked exactly like someone behind the scenes observing countless worlds, watching the constantly rotating dice, deep in thought.

He was going to make a deduction, a deduction concerning the future of the world!

At this moment, Cheng Shi substituted himself—no, it should be said he substituted the 【Origin】!

Assuming the fear he least wanted to face in his heart was true—that the world is the experiment and the experiment is the world—then a conclusion should be reached:

The 【Origin】 is the predetermined, and the predetermined is the 【Origin】.

【He】 and himself should not be exactly the same, but at least they should be infinitely similar, even to the point where the past experienced must be like a replica; otherwise, he would not have walked to this point.

Then the problem comes:

I have clearly already thought of everything, glimpsed the past with the present, so knowing that the world has no answer and the experiment can only be an endless continuation of pain, why did the other party still start this experiment!

The original intention of the experiment might have ignored the feelings of the Cheng Shi in the experiment, but once realizing all this, would I really continue so ruthlessly?

The suffering of countless Cheng Shis is still vivid; what kind of belief could make 【Him】 repeat these painful memories again?

Must do it, or have to?

Or is the so-called answer just starting another experiment that continues the pain?

You must know, even if 【Fraud】 is gone, He would never abandon the world and throw away His will like this. So what is the backup plan He left for this world, or rather, for me?

Wei Mu also said that 【Dementia】 just didn't think 【Fraud】's answer sheet was the real answer, but whether it was 【Dementia】 or Wei Mu, they never denied that 【Fraud】 had found an answer!

The world must have an answer, and it must have a future. What Cheng Shi has to do now is to find this answer from everything 【Fraud】 left behind before the era ends!

Although he has reached the pinnacle of divine power, there are still countless unsolved mysteries:

Why did 【Fraud】 die, and what is hidden in the sea of desire of 【Filth】?

Where did His authority go, and where did the 【Fate】 authority go? Are there any clues about the future in this?

Why did the fire of hope disappear? Is it related to 【Fraud】's backup plan?

The Nose of Discrimination has never been found. Is the memory in the collection hall a hint pointing to the final answer?

Among the remaining three of the Fear Sect, do 【Death】 and 【Silence】 know the truth about 【Fraud】 long ago?

【Dementia】 once said there were supporting roles in that play of void destruction. Are those two not his supporting roles at all, but... 【Dementia】's supporting roles?

And 【Time】, He still refuses to see me. Will what He is busy with be the answer I expect?

"..."

A thousand threads.

Eat rice one mouthful at a time, walk the road one step at a time.

Cheng Shi decided to start with the easiest one.

【Time】!

Although 【Time】 has no time and no longer summons me, at least now I can summon 【Time】 at any time.

In that case, let's see 【Time】 first and get the first clue from Him. ===== CHAPTER 1420 =====
