Chapter 1427: Reunion, Farewell

Reunion, Farewell

The first time Cheng Shi realized something was wrong was when he saw Old Jia bump into that sick old man in front of a certain casino.

People suffering from illness sympathizing with each other didn't seem to be wrong, but at that moment, he suddenly thought of the childhood experience Nangong had told him, and his whole person froze, as if struck by lightning.

He abandoned Old Jia in the memory for the first time, bypassed into that alley, and then saw little Nangong curled up in the alley waiting for his grandfather to return.

Cheng Shi recognized the other party at a glance. Only then did he realize belatedly that the uncle who helped Nangong's father win and collapse the casino was actually Old Jia!

From this moment on, the memory became unusual.

Because not long after, he saw the same leather jacket that Li Wufang had worn on Old Jia.

A leather jacket might not cause many memories, but when Old Jia appeared in front of the green and immature Tao Yi wearing this leather jacket... Cheng Shi knew that all this would definitely not be a coincidence.

Especially when Old Jia left in the rain and said that sentence casually:

"Go repay my son."

Cheng Shi stood on the street in astonishment, almost merging with the heavy rain.

At that time, Old Jia didn't have a son. This could at most be considered a joke, but is this... really a joke?

If Cheng Shi had no other thoughts, perhaps it was, but at this moment, Cheng Shi felt that this memory was strange everywhere, so he didn't think it was a joke. The so-called repayment didn't seem to be for wanting any repayment, and this sentence didn't sound like it was said to Tao Yi.

But except for Old Jia, Aunt Sun, and Tao Yi, there were few passersby at the scene. Who would it be said to?

It couldn't be...

At that moment, Cheng Shi clenched his fists, and some guesses flashed in his brain.

The subsequent memory was as he expected. When transferring between cities, Old Jia bumped into Li Wufang again.

Although it was a bump, in fact, Old Jia's movement line that day was a bit strange.

Li Wufang's small square was in the east, while Old Jia's walking direction was originally north. It was just that when crossing the road, the red light at the intersection was broken, and the countdown was stuck at 99 seconds and never moved. Impatient Old Jia changed his mind, so he walked toward the small square in the east.

He walked to the newsstand, saw little Li Wufang in the water pool, listened to the newsstand owner tell the boy's story, couldn't bear it in his heart, and casually called a passerby who was also reading the newspaper next to the newsstand to play a scene with the other party.

Speaking of which, it's interesting. After Old Jia gave a sum of money, he no longer cared about the passerby's reaction, nor was he afraid that the passerby would take the money and leave. That feeling was like as long as the act of kindness was made, the subsequent disconnection had nothing to do with him...

But fortunately, that passerby was very orderly. Getting an unexpected sum of money for no reason, he just wanted to play his role well, so that this wealth could be pocketed.

So just like that, little Li Wufang saw that leather jacket that he would never forget in his life.

That year was also Old Jia's "golden basin washing hands" year. Originally, he didn't plan to withdraw from this circle; it was his body that didn't allow him to continue.

In a gambling game where the chips were piled like mountains, Old Jia, who was about to win everything, lost his hand due to severe pain and was caught on the spot. Only then did people know that the so-called gambling king was not a gambling king, but a thousand-handed king!

The result was imaginable. Old Jia was blocked in the casino and beaten almost to the point of swallowing his breath. It was Sun Yuying who rushed into the crowd with all the assets under Old Jia's name and begged several familiar bosses to save Old Jia's life.

But since then, there was no place for Old Jia in the casino.

"Those who deceive people are always deceived, and those who engage in falsehoods never have a good end."

Heartbroken Old Jia finally realized that he had embarked on a wrong path. He dragged his injured body, left the south, and disappeared from then on.

Just like that, the story of the "generation of thousand-handed kings" ended, and there was no longer a legend called Old Jia in the south, but little Cheng Shi waited for his luck in the orphanage.

When Cheng Shi followed Old Jia and stood outside the orphanage looking at "himself," he reunited with his father.

It turned out that this old man had long been thinking about himself.

His vision was quite good.

Cheng Shi cried and laughed, watching this old man who could act and pretend deceive himself into saying the name "Cheng Jia" in the adoption room, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and strode away.

Enough, it's time to say goodbye.

No matter who he is, no matter what his name is, I only know he is my father, his name is Cheng Jia, and my name is Cheng Shi.

Cheng is the Cheng of Cheng Jia, and Shi is the Shi of honesty.

Cheng Shi strode out of the memory land. He had basically determined that the memory concerning Old Jia was problematic, but he knew that Long Wang couldn't smear these memories. In this way, the only one who could do something in these memories seemed to be 【Memory】 and... 【Fraud】?

【Memory】, who always hated smearing, probably wouldn't do this, so thinking about it, it must still be 【Fraud】.

From the several people Old Jia had come into contact with, it could also be found that they were all friends pushed to his side by fate.

And 【Fraud】 is 【Fate】.

And all the way, with Cheng Shi's keenness on various secret clues, he found that these friends inherited exactly the thrones that were not close to 【Fraud】's will. At least in the past era's progress, they had not always stood on 【Fraud】's side.

【Decay】, 【Order】, 【Prosperity】...

Is it a coincidence?

Probably not. It looks more like some people's backup plans. Could it be that 【Fraud】 is seeking more support and voting power with this?

But the problem is that when 【Fraud】 was there, these voting powers didn't approach Him. It was only after He left that these voting powers...

Wait!!!

Are these backup plans left for me?

Cheng Shi's eyes widened suddenly. If this is really the case, it shows that this mysterious backup plan had determined the ownership of certain thrones from the very beginning. Then would there be problems with the people on these thrones?

Cheng Shi went through the experience of getting along with Hong Lin, Li Wufang, and Nangong over and over again in his brain and denied this speculation.

Even if there are problems with the world, at least the big cats won't have problems.

She is even willing to sacrifice herself for her friends. Such a person can never make any betrayal.

So there are no problems with the thrones and the people on the thrones. The problem lies with the mastermind behind the scenes who smeared the memories.

When the vision is limited to the universe, the "black hand" Cheng Shi can think of seems to be only 【Fraud】, but once the vision is raised, and then combined with the "truth" he fears, an absurd and bold speculation rises in Cheng Shi's brain:

Can the only god who can smear memories be... 【Origin】!?

As the Creator, 【He】 doesn't even need to smear at all. Just write "inevitable" into the blueprint at the time of "creation," and wouldn't the fate of all living beings be doomed?

This idea scared Cheng Shi himself. Just at this time, he escaped from the memory and returned to the collection hall. Looking at Cheng Shi with a solemn face, Li Jingming's expression also became serious.

"Did you see it? Did you find anything?"

Long Wang didn't ask about the past, didn't ask about his impressions, but asked what he found, which meant he also found clues in this memory.

Cheng Shi nodded, but he couldn't say his conjectures about 【Origin】 and the experiment, so he could only think silently.

Li Jingming didn't ask again, but said with a somewhat uncertain tone:

"220."

Cheng Shi was stunned: "What?"

"Time," Li Jingming's expression was a bit complex and apologetic, "Sorry, I have watched this memory over and over again and found some unusual places. Of course, it is also possible that I am suspicious.

However, it concerns the predetermined, so I dare not be careless." ===== CHAPTER 1428 =====
