Chapter 1478: Character Side Story: [Fraud] Believer · Ke Ke Ta Luo
Character Side Story: 【Fraud】 Believer · Ke Ke Ta Luo
Before the curtain call of the void.
The world leading to the future was never the Continent of Hope, because the Continent of Hope had long been buried in the past of the era.
This cannot be said to be a consensus. After all, countless creatures on the Continent of Hope didn't know they were just the background of a game.
Even if there were those in the know, they wouldn't be "redeemed," because in a sense, the Continent of Hope that worships gods belongs to 【Origin】.
Ke Ke Ta Luo was smart; he had long foreseen his ending.
As a servant of 【Void】 and a "pseudo-envoy" of 【Chaos】, being buried with the 【Chaos】 temple at the curtain call of the void was the best destination.
He didn't dare to hope for more; after all, his benefactor also died here.
Yes, he knew the bad news of 【Fraud】's departure; Cheng Shi told him personally.
Actually, even if Cheng Shi didn't say it, he had some expectations.
Although 【Fraud】 had never summoned Ke Ke Ta Luo again since the false curtain call, Ke Ke Ta Luo understood everything. He had been by 【Fraud】's side for a long time. Even if he didn't know exactly what 【Fraud】 was thinking, he could understand what his benefactor was doing.
Cheng Shi's words just pierced his last shred of fantasy.
Recalling the various ways his benefactor had protected him, Ke Ke Ta Luo restrained his smile on the temple for the first time.
Feeling Ke Ke Ta Luo's sorrow, Cheng Shi was also silent.
There is no doubt that Ke Ke Ta Luo made a huge contribution to 【Void】 and could be said to have "exhausted his heart and strength" for Cheng Shi. It was his acting that gave Cheng Shi a trump card named "Ultraman" in the process of becoming the Fixed, and it was his loyalty that allowed Cheng Shi to know many secrets about 【Fraud】 in advance.
In this regard, Cheng Shi kept it in his heart.
That was why he summoned Ke Ke Ta Luo again before the future arrived. Perhaps this was also the last time he would summon him.
The greed of the Greedy Lord was not just on the surface. There was also a fire in his heart. Just like in the previous trials where he always left enough backhands, this time facing the dilemma of the future, he also hid a trump card.
He wasn't sure if this trump card was useful, but... still the same sentence, if you don't try, how do you know?
So he said to Ke Ke Ta Luo:
"I know you are loyal to 【Void】, but essentially you are loyal to 【Fraud】. After all, 【Void】 has only one god from beginning to end...
I also know that your biggest regret might be not being granted a mask representing 【Fraud】.
But Ke Ke Ta Luo, He never treated you unfairly, nor did He ever think of treating you unfairly. Otherwise, He wouldn't have fished you out of the past history. You should know that in the gaze of 【Fraud】, anyone could stand here, but He chose you alone.
This is also your destiny.
Remember, Ke Ke Ta Luo, you are not just a servant of 【Void】, but also a believer of 【Fraud】."
Hearing this, Ke Ke Ta Luo choked up.
Indeed, although he considered himself a servant of 【Void】, he had always adhered to the 【Chaos】 temple from beginning to end, and the divine power he borrowed was all 【Chaos】, and he had never had a mask of his own.
Did he want one?
Naturally, he wanted one, but he also understood that as long as he could stay by his benefactor's side, some obsessions were not important.
But the problem was that now he had lost the opportunity to stay by His side.
Cheng Shi looked into the depths of the void, as if reminiscing, and then said quietly after a moment:
"I cannot be the master of Him and cannot replace Him to grant you a new mask, but...
I happen to know that there is a mask that has lost its owner and was left in the past.
I can be the master of this mask. Today, I will grant this mask to you."
Saying this, Cheng Shi waved his hand and sent a pure white mask in front of Ke Ke Ta Luo.
Ke Ke Ta Luo tremblingly held up this mask, his knees softened, and he knelt down. Cheng Shi didn't look at him, but asked a strange question:
"Wearing a mask, people often become another self. Ke Ke Ta Luo, if one day you forget yourself... what will you do?"
Ke Ke Ta Luo was stunned, seemingly understanding something. He held the mask in his hand tightly and said firmly:
"My lord, who Ke Ke Ta Luo is is not important. Whoever 【Void】 needs Ke Ke Ta Luo to be, Ke Ke Ta Luo is.
I might forget myself, but I will never forget you and the benefactor."
Cheng Shi laughed lightly, shook his head, and said:
"I am also not important. You can forget me, and you must forget me, but do not forget Him."
Saying this, Cheng Shi's face became a bit serious:
"Ke Ke Ta Luo, remember your loyalty. No matter where you are, you are always His believer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shi left. Looking at the empty temple, Ke Ke Ta Luo held the mask and walked to the entrance of the temple step by step.
His thoughts were boiling, and his expression was complex.
Looking back on his life, from an unknown scholar to a servant who stayed by the god's side for a long time, and then to the witness of the curtain call of the void, he felt he had already gained too much along the way.
He never dared to hope for anything, even though he also wanted to know what the future foreseen by the benefactor and Cheng Shi looked like, but he could only hide this thirst for knowledge and longing in his heart.
He had always understood: the future did not belong to him, nor did it belong to the past.
But today, these words of Cheng Shi gave birth to new hope in his heart.
He put the mask on his face and stood straight at the end of the long steps, just like the way he used to welcome Cheng Shi here. He looked at the endless void and felt the era coming to an end.
Everything returns to 【Void】...
Ke Ke Ta Luo closed his eyes, and the whole person sank into darkness.
